Cooperation with mobile must lead to negotiations and results.

It is not only for the current traffic package, but also for building a bridge that allows both parties to communicate perfectly in the future Fetion business.

As we all know, since China Mobile ended its cooperation with Internet manufacturers in 06, it has been operating the Fetion business independently.

With the help of mobile phones and computers, Fetion's offline free SMS service has achieved a good result of over 10 million registered users and over 5 million monthly active users in .

It once surpassed Microsoft's MSN to become the second-ranked instant messaging software in the country. A company that provided technical support for it alone earned more than 20 billion in technical service commissions.

It can be seen that in the field of instant messaging, as long as you have a large user base, you can make money without doing anything.

For Tenda, which was in the same period of history, it was easy to defeat Fetion technically, but the market often does not rely solely on technology, and the support provided by Chaozhou porridge behind it should not be underestimated.

For Qingyun Group, the biggest challenge in promoting WeChat in China is not only facing restrictions at the policy level, but also facing the relentless competition from the Tengda Group.

Unlike Pinxixi's efforts in the rural market, the threat to Ali is not very realistic and urgent. Ali can completely wait for the day when the rural market is successfully cultivated.

It is still in time to mobilize all resources to pick the peaches.

Even at this stage, Pinxixi can be regarded as a quasi-ally of Ali. Both parties have a greater common goal, which is to seize market share in the traditional retail industry.

The market worth tens of trillions of dollars every year can temporarily accommodate two or even more home appliance e-commerce platforms to thrive at the same time, coupled with Pinxixi's order-on-behalf-of-customers model.

It's really speechless, but there's no way to take direct action. Before rural customers have a real grasp of a communication tool that allows them to access the Internet at any time, there will be no competition for Pinxixi.

It's all useless work!

Ali tried to cooperate with SF Express or the Post Office, leveraging the latter's direct networks across the country to compete directly with Pinxixi, but all failed without exception.

Because the operating models of the two parties are fundamentally different.

The postal model determines that it is impossible for it to accept capital control, and even acquiring shares is difficult, and Taotao has no intention of supporting a new e-commerce competitor.

As for SF Express, Mr. Wang’s personality is even tougher than Jack Ma’s. There is a basis for cooperation between the two companies, and the prospects for cooperation are also good, but Mr. Wang does not plan to sell the company for the time being.

Jack Ma has no plan to sell Taotao, so the exciting scene of Mars hitting the Earth that everyone likes to see will not happen for the time being.

Therefore, more often than not, Ali is waging war against Qingyun Group in the takeout and express delivery industry. The subsidy war is just a means, and the goal is to slow down the development of Qingyun Group by hurting others.

When it comes to the competition in instant messaging software, Qingyun Group is at a huge disadvantage. Even Li Zehua doesn't intend to disguise himself and is ready to go all out right away.

Try to take down Tengda in one wave.

He took a gamble, risked his life and fortune, and won. From then on, the company's business development has been smooth sailing.

Even if he loses, he doesn't plan to surrender. Qingyun Group's solid industry moat is enough to guarantee WeChat's retreat. Even if it loses the urban market, there are still the vast rural areas.

Relying on the promotion of smartphones and the construction of Pinxixi's sinking market, it has gradually recovered its disadvantages offline.

Until the short video strategy layout is successful, it will make a comeback relying on Douyin.

Of course, it's not that easy.

However, looking at Tencent at that time from the perspective of future generations, it had the necessary conditions to achieve ultimate victory, but it was not the absolute overlord of mobile Internet that made people despair.

In the decade from 13 to 22, Tenda was the water and electricity that no one could get around in the domestic Internet market, and it was the nightmare of every industry practitioner.

It is difficult for Qingyun to break through, but it is not completely without chance. Tenda has some of the conditions, and WeChat also has some of them. Although the effect is a bit worse, it can be used anyway.

First of all, Tenda has a huge traffic pool of QQ, which can continuously divert traffic to new mobile instant messaging software. This is the biggest disadvantage of WeChat, because Qingyun does not have such resources.

Moreover, there is not much time left for Qingyun Group. The 3Q War is about to come. This major event that will rewrite the history of the domestic Internet will be an excellent opportunity for Qingyun Group to break through.

If WeChat misses this historic window, it will face endless suppression from the Tenda Group.

Secondly, the first group of users who came into contact with QQ were just entering society and becoming the main force in economic and social development. Their Internet habits gave Tenda a huge base.

Fortunately, the Qingyun Group has taken a different approach, influencing campuses and the vast rural market through full-time and part-time employees. Although it is not as stable as Tenda QQ, it has a certain influence.

Finally, the Qingyun Group also has the same support behind Tengda, and it may even be more powerful than Tengda.

Because capital wants to influence and interfere with reality, there is a layer in the middle. Qingyun Group can communicate directly with the higher-ups through the many state-owned shareholders of the Fama Group.

The most important point is also the reason why Li Zehua insisted on developing WeChat overseas first!

Because it means that Todai can convey its own voice to the outside world through another voice, showcase its development achievements, and wash away the stigma imposed on itself by its competitors.

Li Zehua copied the overseas layout of TikTok in the future, just as he explored the way for TikTok in advance.

The overseas version of WeChat doesn’t even need to develop very well. Its symbolic significance is greater than its existential significance. Even if it can only influence 100 million people, it will be an amazing victory.

Controlling a country's grassroots public opinion, influencing the grassroots' choices through subtle cultural output, and slowly changing things from the bottom up, can Tokyo University refuse such a good thing?
So this is what Li Zehua had to do, and the reason why Apple, representing the forces behind him, wanted to strangle it in advance was that they clearly stated from the beginning that the Apple Store could be the main push.

But the servers and data resources must be placed in the United States, and the backend must be open to the United States.

If it refuses, it means that WeChat will soon face comprehensive suppression from capital.

But Li Zehua is fearless because he also holds in his hands the core resources that the locals urgently need, including the WeChat and smartphone industry, QR codes and e-commerce, and food delivery business.

This also gives people at the bottom of society an opportunity to turn things around and change their destiny, as long as they give their partners enough benefits, even giving up the dominant position does not matter.

As long as a gap is opened, the entire Qingyun ecological chain can be forced in, and greater power can be leveraged bit by bit. Once people have hope, they will want to live a better life.

The rest needs no further explanation.

From the very beginning, Li Zehua never said that he must have the lion's share of the pie. As long as a company could provide vital assistance to the development and growth of WeChat, he would bring it in without hesitation.

For example, the three major domestic telecom operators, the State Council, and the shareholders of the FDA Group can all enter the market. When necessary, he can even let in Ali.

Foreign companies such as Tesla, Microsoft, and Amazon, as well as local powerful companies such as Temasek and the Siamese royal family in Southeast Asia, can all get a piece of the pie.

As long as they don't threaten the decision-making and management position of the Qingyun Group, he can cooperate with anyone. The difference between foreign capital and state-owned capital is not big here. As long as he can succeed, he can slowly clean it up later.

The first step to realize the domestic layout is to establish connection with China Mobile, or at least reduce the data traffic fee. If we continue like this, Qingyun will be dragged down by subsidies to employees alone.

……

"Boss, why are you here?"

In the designated reception hotel in Suzhou, Guo Xinyi and He Li were discussing the development of Roewe Electronics when they saw a figure suddenly coming in from outside and were stunned.

"If you don't come soon, I'm afraid you two will forget the way home."

Li Zehua greeted the two people with a smile. Upon closer inspection, it seemed that he had gained a few pounds.

Guo Xinyi reacted quickly, asked him to sit down, and quickly poured him a cup of green tea, "How could that be? We have good food and accommodation here, and we can even go to the research institute for a walk when we have nothing to do.

All the serious work has not been delayed these days. On the contrary, Mr. He has put forward a comprehensive rural promotion plan in his free time. "In fact, talking about house arrest is a bit too much. If they really want to leave, Suzhou will not forcefully refuse, but it is easy to leave, but it will not be so easy to come back in the future.

Honor Electronics has gained so many benefits when it came in before, and now it has to pay them back double, plus the unrepayable debts of favor, it will be a life-threatening thing.

Li Zehua was very satisfied with their mental state and said with a smile, "Really? Then I'd like to listen carefully to your sharing of your experiences these days."

"That's what I'm thinking..."

Guo Xinyi spoke slowly.

After spending half a year with Li Zehua, he has changed so much that when his former friends meet him, they can hardly be sure that it is still him?

The biggest change is that no matter what problem he looks at now, he is used to analyzing and judging it from a higher perspective. This calmness that comes from the bottom of his heart makes him more introverted and low-key.

Of course, it could also be that the billions of options that were about to come to him made him exude infinite confidence from the inside out...

It is inevitable for Panda Electronics to relocate from Jinling. The anger in Shanghai over Li Zehua's frequent investments in his hometown and his favoritism towards some and neglect of the place where he started his business is just a superficial phenomenon.

They are more likely to take the opportunity to grab good stuff into their own territory, such as the production and manufacturing of high-tech products such as smart phones. Magic doesn't even have this stuff, so it can be regarded as filling the gap in the high-tech field.

It can also drive the large-scale development of the entire industrial chain. The most direct benefit brought about by this is the soaring total import and export volume in the future, which is real performance.

If it were another company, Shanghai might not have a good solution, but could Qingyun refuse?

Especially at this critical moment when the group is breaking through the bottleneck of development, it needs support and endorsement from powerful departments, and it is even more impossible to fall out with the Magic City.

It’s just Panda Electronics, and its products haven’t even been launched on the market. Jinling doesn’t have enough understanding of Qingyun’s overall ecological chain construction, and has no way to judge its future development height.

At most, they are just embarrassed and are ready to find an opportunity to make things difficult for Qingyun Group. However, with the gift package of a high-generation production line from BOE coming their way, complaints can be transformed into laughter.

Li Zehua, who invested in BOE and spent an additional $5000 million (the cost of launching a new production line), did not necessarily think that Panda Electronics would be able to develop.

Because it lacks the most critical core technology.

It’s like why in later generations, the three most advanced mobile phones in the world must be Apple, Samsung, and Petal?

Could it be that the products of these three companies have unique technologies that other companies don’t have?
Maybe Apple had it in the beginning, but later on, the products of each company became very homogeneous, and almost all technologies and components could be bought on the market.

Why can high-end brands, whose brand premium can reach three to four thousand yuan in gross profit, or even higher, firmly occupy the first-mover position?

Why has the coarse grain factory failed in its repeated attempts to make a breakthrough?
What it all comes down to is whether you have the core technology that your competitors won’t dare to confront you easily!
The United States prohibits the supply of high-end chips to Huaban phones and has been blocking its communications equipment application market all over the world. However, Qualcomm, MediaTek, and even Apple and Samsung have cooperated with Huaban.

Before finding a suitable substitute, America does not dare to completely ban all products under the Petal Factory.

Just like what happened to Dajiang Technology, after being banned for a while, we looked back and found that their industrial chain construction had reached the pinnacle. They have the technology and are not afraid of you at all.

So what if it’s banned?
Can you gain a competitive advantage in the international market at a cost that is ten or twenty times higher?

If you don't buy it, there are plenty of people who will, and you are the only one who does. Capital is profit-seeking. If you can't deal with Dongda, compromise is bound to be inevitable.

This is also the fundamental reason why coarse grain factories will never be able to break through the limitations of high-end product positioning. There has never been a precedent in this world of becoming an industry leader simply by buying and buying.

If it were that simple, White Elephant should have become the overlord of the universe with the help of the International brand.

Even though Samsung's prices drop in March every time a new product is launched, it does not prevent its products from having a unique style.

Whether America is transferring the semiconductor industry chain to South Korea out of its defensive mentality towards South Korea, or whether Squid Capital is completely controlling the South Korean economy.

At least on the surface, Samsung is one of the very few technology companies on this planet that can obtain the support of the entire industrial chain. Even a powerful company like Apple cannot completely surrender to it, which has the same bloodline.

Li Zehua doesn't dare to guarantee that no matter how much money Qingyun invests in the future, it will be able to achieve technological breakthroughs and master core competitiveness, but he will work hard in this direction.

But Honor Electronics is completely different. Although the competition in mid- and low-end products is more intense, the non-market factors involved are not that serious. It is the squid that eats the biggest piece of the pie in the high-end market.

They can sit back and watch the fight between two tigers, and choose the brand that best suits their interests to support, but they absolutely dare not openly restrict Honor Electronics.

This is not only the support and assistance brought by Qingyun Group through the binding of interests. For example, Goldman Sachs has already confirmed that it will become a shareholder of Honor Electronics, but the entire Dongda University is also standing behind it.

You want to ban the high-end ones, saying that it involves core interests. We can’t beat you for the time being, so we have to endure it.

You want to ban the mid- and low-end products? What do you want to do? You want to allow you to control such a large market at will?
What's more, the chain reaction caused by the ban on this part of the mass market is something that Squid cannot afford. As the saying goes, the greater the pressure, the greater the backlash.

Everyone plays within the rules, making small changes by boiling the frog in warm water, and the trick to staying ahead in technology is to never invest huge sums of money to introduce development trends.

As everyone makes mistakes, who can guarantee that the technology they develop is correct?
Even if you are right, it depends on whether others will follow you. For example, Changhong bet on plasma, but was repeatedly beaten by the LCD Alliance.

Toyota is betting big on hydrogen energy technology and has mastered many core technologies, but what are the results?
The mainstream market won’t play with you, so go home and play with your treasure, which you have invested hundreds of billions of dollars in.

This is the consequence of eating alone, and it is also the consequence that the squid tries its best to avoid. What it is best at is to attract the best talents and forces from various regions and use them as a bridge of communication.

While eating big chunks of meat, you throw away a little bit of leftovers to ensure that the other party will not starve to death so that they can continue to participate in the game.

When they encounter a university with great development potential, such as Dongda University, they will give it a little more meat from the plate, tempting it to not let it deviate from the development trajectory they have arranged in advance.

If Honor Electronics is banned, there will be different voices within the company. For example, who will compensate for this loss when Qualcomm, Apple, and Google make a lot of money through technology licensing?
Core components are purchased in a steady stream, but who will make up for the profits?

In addition, over-stimulating the domestic market is likely to cause a chain reaction. What if Dongda is determined to make the industrial chain 100% localized?
More than 20 years ago, exchanging technology for the automotive industry chain market could ruin the market. Who can guarantee that it will be successful today?
Qingyun Group doesn’t just have one mobile phone business. Even if it kills Honor Electronics, what’s next?
Be prepared for Qing Yun's endless revenge!
Don't forget, this is a group that Li Zehua can unite and speak with one voice, not a puppet company that has been infiltrated by capital like a sieve.

Their plan to eliminate the founding fathers of the Qingyun Group has not yet succeeded. Even if it succeeds, who except Li Zehua can control the middle and lower levels who have grown up with the company?

So there is nothing to be afraid of at all. At most, the delivery speed will be slowed down at a critical moment. Occasionally, when there is a huge difference in interests, you may be hit by some forces controlled and influenced by the squid.

As long as Honor Electronics can develop, it can use the resources earned to continuously invest in the low-end brand Roewe Electronics industry chain, support national localization, and then slowly upgrade to the mid-to-high-end.

This is where Li Zehua’s confidence comes from. The overall plan has a long-term vision and from the very beginning he has envisioned the overall layout for ten or twenty years to come.

This road is destined to be full of thorns. No one can guarantee whether he can successfully reach the end, but he will go on without hesitation...

"The difficulty of promoting mid- to high-end smartphones in the rural market is just like that of mid- to high-end home appliances. It may even be more difficult in the early stages because home appliances do not require high monthly data traffic fees."

After listening to Guo Xinyi and He Li's plan, Li Zehua nodded and said, "Your layout is right, but you must be cautious and not impatient. This will not be accomplished in one or two years.

I can wait, and the company will have enough patience to wait. Honor and Roewe are not two independent brands, but a father-son relationship that is passed down from generation to generation.

Although Honor was destined to be brilliant from birth, most of its parts, including their production technology, are imported.

They can sell it to Honor today, raise the price arbitrarily if they are unhappy tomorrow, and issue an industry ban the day after tomorrow for special reasons.

Because we don't have core technology, we can only compromise temporarily.

But concession is not the tradition of our generation. It is just a helpless choice based on actual conditions and most suitable for the current environment.

Roewe must move forward, and no matter how much money and R&D talent it invests, it must develop a completely independent technological route.

Ten years, twenty years, even if it costs 100 billion, 1 trillion, we must come out, until the day when it replaces glory! " (End of this chapter)
