"Have you ever had a dog?"

Li Zehua asked.

Zhang Tao understood immediately, "Sir, let me take care of this matter."

"Well, deal with it cleanly. Don't touch it until the one in the country is dead. Leave one life and do whatever you want with the others."

There was no obvious emotion on Li Zehua's face, as if he was really talking about a dog.

"Give it some hope occasionally, don't let it live in fear and go crazy. I want it to watch this comprador business collapse with its own eyes, and let it die alone in despair."

The rules of the game are so cruel. If Li Zehua was unlucky or weaker, he would be the one becoming the victim.

Liu Sen is in a very delicate position now.

The plan was originally well arranged. Li Zehua arranged for people to persuade it to come back to Hong Kong. He simply did not want things to become more complicated and out of control.

The Six Gates need a complete chain of evidence to investigate the case, but the Pangu system, which suffered losses of over 80 billion, does not need it. They even dare to kill Liu Sen directly, and if the benefits are sufficient, the two sides are willing to cooperate.

Don't think too simply of these people. The intelligence network they control is extremely developed. If you put in a lot of effort to investigate any clues, you will definitely be able to find something.

Yes, there is no direct evidence, but the biggest problem is the human erasure of traces. Liu Feng is dead, but Liu Wei is still here. Was he fooled and used?
If you want to know who led the case and how the conversation went, all the clues connected together point directly to a certain force in Jiaobenji. The people who went to Jiaobenji to do business some time ago were from the Pangu faction.

Although the people who were specifically involved were killed immediately and all clues were cut off at this point, there are experts in the Pangu system who can see the essence through the phenomenon.

Conversely, two questions are raised: Why would Squid Capital agree to assist Hanhuang Group in acquiring controlling rights in overseas iron and uranium mines without fully blending its interests?

With tens of billions of resources being exchanged, it is impossible for the squid to just say afterwards that it was just a joke and pretend nothing happened.

Because Pangu Clan is behind Hanhuang, no one dares to openly challenge it without being punished within the influence of Dongda.

The second question is, why did the victims and the forces behind them choose to cause trouble to Lian Xiang first?

Tomorrow Group and Yuedong joined forces to produce a series of articles on the past and present of Lianxiang’s share reform, which were published publicly in well-known southern media, targeting a certain boss of Zhongke Y and the Lianxiang Group and the Panjiang Group.

There was improper transfer of benefits between the company and the Minsheng Group, which provided financial support. The accounts of many holding companies under Lianxiang were unclear, and the whereabouts of huge amounts of profits were unknown.

In addition, Yida and Qingyun’s previous cooperation ruined Lianxiang’s plan of investing for many years. JD Qingyun made a strategic investment in Shenzhou Electronics, and the two e-commerce platforms publicly removed Lianxiang products from their shelves.

All these incidents and scenes are equivalent to an open falling out. What is the real reason behind it?

Following this line of thought, it suddenly became clear that Liu Sen could no longer hide. The Pangu system was annoyed that it was being used as a gun and suffered huge losses, so it must make up for it from other aspects.

When Liu Sen transits through Hong Kong, it is the best opportunity for the Pangu Group to take action. Whether it is killing, kidnapping, or the final negotiation, the initiative is in their hands.

Fortunately, the one who had settled in South China got the news in advance and informed them in advance out of respect for his ally. Old Ye was not happy with Liu Sen who was trying to get rid of his cash cow.

Li Zehua certainly didn't have good intentions. It was easy to get rid of a person, but it was easy to completely destroy everything about him, making him suffer every day before his death, and eventually die in despair with endless regret.

This is the cruelest form of punishment.

Letting it return to Yanjing does not mean letting it continue to enjoy its good life, because there will be people from the Six Gates waiting for it when it gets off the plane, and there is certainly no direct evidence for the action this time.

But its past bad deeds are so numerous that if you pick out a few of them, there are witnesses and evidence available, which is enough for it to reflect on itself for a few years.

However, some people are indeed very powerful and can complete a series of dazzling exchanges of interests in just a few hours, with the cooperation and connivance of certain people.

On the tarmac, Liu Sen was sent to the plane bound for Jiaobenji, leaving the arresting personnel waiting in the terminal empty-handed...

Looking through the perspective mirror, seeing Zhang Tao frequently watching, his eyes revealing deep concern, Li Zehua smiled and said, "Why, do you think it's too much?"

Zhang Tao shook his head, "No."

He talked a lot today, which was unusual. He opened his mouth to say something but stopped himself.

The car was driving very slowly.

"Just say what you want to say. I can even entrust my life to you, so why would I care about anything else?"

The two sides will prosper together and suffer together. Moreover, Zhang Tao's family is under the close care of the group. Unless something unexpected happens, it will be difficult to change this situation in this lifetime.

Zhang Tao then spoke, "We are not afraid of death, all we need is your word."

"So what? Send a few people over to kill it directly?"

Li Zehua shook his head, "You still don't understand how to play this game. There is always a red line that cannot be crossed.

Liu Feng and Liu Wei directly broke through the bottom line, but failed to kill me. Coincidentally, they were in a specific time period and became special bargaining chips for the game, with efforts being exerted from top to bottom.

The opponent who was caught with the handle did not dare to fight back, so he sacrificed the rook to save the king, causing Liu Feng to have a sudden heart attack.

Although there is no direct evidence to prove that Liu Sen was the instigator, everyone can see it clearly, so it is only natural for me to deal with him, and no one will blame me for it.

But that's where the story ends.

The world of martial arts is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and worldly wisdom. Rules are made to maintain order, protect the interests of the majority, and provide convenience for the very few.

Any means that go beyond the rules and are not restricted will inevitably affect the safety of everyone, causing everyone to be insecure and ultimately be attacked by everyone.

The interesting thing about Liu Sen's identity is that it has nothing to do with it legally, and he has the support of Squid Capital behind him, representing the dual interests of Intel and the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The only way to solve it is to use normal business means and completely defeat it in competition. To be honest, it is easy to surpass Lianxiang, but it is very difficult to defeat it.

Fortunately, we can find another way. We just need to separate it from the interests of Lianxiang, make the people behind us feel that it cannot guarantee the collective interests, and abandon it completely, and it will lose the protection of the rules.

By then, the group can easily crush it with just a little finger, do you understand?"

Zhang Tao felt confused and seemed to understand it.

Fortunately, he doesn't have to think about these brain-burning problems every day. He just does whatever his boss says.

……

"Mr. Li, has the funds arrived?"

As soon as the money issue was mentioned, everyone came over to smell the scent, even before they got home.

I received several calls, including from Zhao Yanshun of BOE, Dong Chaogui of BYD, and even Wang Shicong, who was busy preparing for Panda Interactive Entertainment and Panda Voice Live, heard the noise and called to ask.

Just after dealing with this young master, Zeng Yumin from Ningde called.

"The money has arrived. The key is whether you and Wu Kai are ready."

Zeng Yumin has not made up his mind yet. "Do we have to take this step? Wasn't the previous contact between Qingyun and ATL's parent company quite pleasant?
I think their demands are not too excessive. Retaining a portion of shares and sharing technology patents and research and development are not unacceptable.

Moreover, the battery products for mobile phones, laptops and tablet computers held by ATL are also urgently needed by Panda Electronics and Shenzhou Electronics. "

The contact between Qingyun Group and ATL is not a one- or two-day thing. The two groups had communicated shortly after Li Zehua and Zeng Yumin got in touch.

With the launch of Panda Z10, Qingyun considered ATL for purchasing mobile phone batteries, but failed to reach an agreement in the end because ATL asked for too high a price and refused to provide supporting low- and mid-end technology transfer.

Finally, Qingyun negotiated directly with Nokia, Motorola and other companies, and acquired a full set of patents at a high price, and then started emergency production (the OEM factory has no shortage of production technology, but lacks patents).

"I will not allow others to sleep beside me. I have already obtained the complete and exclusive license for the basic patents of power batteries from the United States.

It is no exaggeration to say that the number and quality of patents held by Qingyun Power Technology are higher than those of CATL.

Only ATL treats technology from ten years ago as a treasure. If you don't know the price they offer, you would think you are buying the latest technology.

Forget it. Anyway, what happened between them and me is over. What we should talk about now is the overall package acquisition of the power battery department.

You and I understand the above policy direction, and so do the people at ATL. I also understand what they are planning. It seems that every company has some basic popular patents.

ATL is destined to not be able to make further progress in power technology. Failure to obtain subsidies means that costs cannot be reduced, and without sufficient market share, it will be difficult for it to make any further progress.

Mr. Zeng, don't hesitate, bring your team over here, ATL will only tie your hands and feet and limit your team's further performance."

Zeng Yumin smiled bitterly, "Boss Li, I have already made my personal attitude clear. Come, no problem. The key is how to bring the entire team together. I can only ask you for this." "As long as the most important few of you can come, the rest can find opportunities in the future. You called me today, you should have made up your mind to give me a final conclusion."

Seeing that he still wanted to bring the team out, Li Zehua sighed and could only speak out his thoughts:

“A few days ago, Qingyun Power Technology has reached strategic cooperation with BYD and other companies. From now on, only our own people are welcome to enter this market.

How those people treated you in 05 is how I will deal with them now. The higher-ups have begun to pay attention to this issue and restrictive policies will be introduced within a year at most.

I have also reached an agreement with Academician Chen Liquan. Many great talents in new energy materials and power technology will join us as private individuals. Now I am just waiting for your nod.

Agreed. Qingyun Power Technology will invest US$5 million in Ningde to build the Times New Energy Factory in the name of investing in a branch. You will be the general manager and Wu Kai will be the director of technical research and development.

In the future, in addition to the 10% management options and 20% technical options reserved, you will also be able to get an extra one.

I disagree. Qingyun Power Technology will not authorize any other company to use all of its technology patents, including ternary lithium and solid-state batteries, and you will face unreserved competition from Qingyun Group."

Faced with the aggressive Li Zehua, Zeng Yumin was not angry, because the conditions offered by the other party were among the most generous in the world.

After all, no company would promise to grant 30% of its shares to management and technical talents forever. Theoretically, they can own shares of the company that are now worth $1.5 million without spending a penny.

This is certainly not Li Zehua giving away his wealth lavishly, but rather the best choice based on history. The country must take the initiative in new energy, and no one can stop this trend.

New energy technology is destined to rise, but it does not necessarily mean that Qingyun Power Technology will be successful, because Li Zehua really does not understand scientific research.

He is rich, knows how to make money, is willing to spend money, and knows how to make good use of a favorable external environment. The key is that there are too many competitors and many people are watching from the outside.

Without a big boss with sufficient status in the industry, it would be difficult to ensure that there would be no deviations in the implementation of scientific research projects, so he invited Chen Liquan to take charge.

Any of his apprentices, if you pick any one of them, are well-known leaders in the industry, such as Zeng Yumin, who is not only technically savvy but also capable of management and guiding strategic development.

It is hard to find such talents even with a lantern.

"But we both have a non-compete agreement. If New Energy Technology takes legal action, how can we avoid it?"

This is the biggest problem that bothers Zeng Yumin's team, but Li Zehua doesn't care. "As I said before, there are many ways.

The non-compete agreement only prohibits you from engaging in the research and development of new technologies in the battery industry. It doesn’t matter. I will hire you in the name of other companies in Qingyun Group to avoid the risk openly.

Moreover, Qingyun Technology and New Energy Era have different basic patent routes, which will not involve the leakage of sensitive technologies, and these small-scale companies cannot obtain sufficient evidence to sue.

Once the non-compete agreement is over, you can join the new company in a public capacity.

More importantly, the attitude of the local government will play a decisive role in this process. As long as you cannot appear in public, the $5 million investment will not be realized.

Regardless of the purpose, the local authorities will take active actions and try every means to force New Energy Technology to compromise. Is a problem that can be solved with money still a problem? "

Li Zehua didn't dare to delay any further, because Apple was about to enter the domestic market on a large scale. By then, ATL, which would supply Apple's full range of products, would surely see its status rise with this favorable trend.

This is also the reason why he had insisted on developing his own mobile phone batteries against all odds. He would rather use more expensive old technology and produce products with slightly inferior performance than compromise or accept blackmail.

He is not interested in ATL, which is a complete underdog company. Historically, Toyota has been planning hydrogen energy, and the industrial alliance led by this company has been planning lithium batteries.

Zeng Yumin was conspired by investors five years ago, which led to a breakdown in his capital chain at a critical time when he was developing and producing new technologies. He was forced to sell all his shares in Dongguan New Energy Company to Japanese capital.

In order to get out of the unfavorable situation in 08, he spared no effort to get ATL to agree to build a branch in Ningde, and based on this, with domestic support, he gradually regained the initiative.

Historically, it took him a full twenty years from selling his shares to returning to the top!
The establishment of Ningde New Energy in 08 was the starting point, Times New Energy in 11 was the turning point, and the open withdrawal of Jiaobenji shareholders in 15 was a strategic counterattack.

Until the time when Li Zehua was reborn, Times had not completely gotten rid of the influence of the "foot basin chicken". Many people who joined Times from new energy around 15 years ago still held key positions.

Zeng Yumin didn't know this, so he was hesitant. After all, he had the non-compete agreement on his side, and it was difficult for him to act freely.

More importantly, he wanted to use this incident to measure whether Qingyun Group had a strong background in the upper echelons.

When it comes to new energy, technology is important, but support from the top is even more important!

"If it wasn't to disrupt the layout of foreign capital, would I have spent so much effort?"

Li Zehua listened to the silence on the phone and continued, "The core of the automotive industry is the engine. It is impossible to catch up with the fuel industry. Does Mr. Zeng still want to give up the dominant position in the battery industry to others?
ATL has grown to its current size by supplying mobile phone and laptop batteries to Apple and Samsung. If we add car batteries to the mix, does this industry, which is the lifeblood of the country, still have a future?"

He was just exaggerating and trying to deceive Mr. Zeng into not knowing the future development trajectory. Of course there is a future, but because the country does not allow it, most of the control over Times New Energy has been taken back.

Of course, it is inevitable to give up a large part of the benefits to others, especially in technologies such as solid-state batteries, which allow small companies to make money without doing anything.

It’s still the same old routine. The chicken companies are the first to register patents for the technical parts that are easiest to solve, and leave the remaining parts that are the most difficult and require the most capital investment to latecomers.

Can Li Zehua tolerate these bastards?
I want to eat shit.

“…The problem now is that Qingyun Power Technology has already started to supply Panda/Honor Electronics, Shenzhou Electronics and other domestic friendly companies.

At the same time, we will spare no effort to develop Roewe Electronics' low-end models and support BYD in establishing a national domestic industrial chain. In this process, we will take the lead in realizing technological accumulation and innovation across the entire industry.

Mr. Zeng might as well think about it seriously. By then, relying on Qingyun, BYD will have a national domestic industrial chain.

Between ATL, a foreign-funded company that is 100% controlled by Jiaobenji, and ATL, which one can get the full support from the country?

Also, don’t forget that Qingyun has established a global battery mineral investment network, and all resources including lithium, nickel, and cobalt are being actively deployed.

We have presence in Qinghai, Tibet, Sichuan, Jiangxi, Canada, Chile, and Indonesia. Can these be provided by the chicken companies?"

Zeng Yumin is well aware of his embarrassing position, but he still has a long way to go if he wants to completely break free from the control and influence of new energy technology.

But now, he can only hope to rely on the power of Qingyun Group to jump out of the framework of the new energy technology company.

After all, he was directly involved in the active promotion of subsidies for domestic new energy vehicles by the upper echelons. Once the national special subsidies are lost, it will be almost impossible for ATL to compete fully with Qingyun Group.

Qingyun has everything that atl has.

What ATL doesn't have, Qingyun also has.

The key is whether you can show it directly so that everyone can see it with their own eyes, so that people in the team can invest without hesitation.

"Mr. Li, now that it has come to this, I am not greedy for the 30% option bonus. After all, this is in the common interest of everyone.

But many people still have doubts. If Mr. Li can completely resolve the threat of the non-compete agreement, I can lead the entire team to join him that day.

You know, this team has been with me all the way from the earliest research and development of mobile phone batteries, and there are many rare and outstanding talents among them.

It is a strong guarantee for the research of power batteries and the achievement of technological breakthroughs. Moreover, the team has a complete plan for the development of automotive batteries and has achieved certain results..."

When he got to the point, Li Zehua was a little shaken. "Do we have to take over the entire power battery department?"

Zeng Yumin had been fooled by ATL once, so he was reluctant to believe the promises of capital. "It's better this way."

Well, in his eyes, Qingyun and ATL are both capital, there is not much difference, he has to consider the interests of his own team.

"Then let's try it again. If the worst result occurs, will Mr. Zeng still be willing to take the core members away?"

"That depends on Mr. Li's sincerity."

After hanging up the phone, Li Zehua fell into deep thought...

Fortunately, it is 2010 now, and batteries do not have enough influence on the automotive industry, especially since ATL's parent company is not doing well.

As mentioned before, any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem. If you can pack up and take away the people openly, there is no need to poach them secretly.

But what the two people did not expect was that this matter was far from as simple as they imagined, especially since Qingyun Group has grown to its current scale and has been included in the key observation list of the world's top capital.

Its every move has attracted much attention, especially in the semiconductor display project. Its layout against Samsung and Sharp has made the local companies extremely dissatisfied.

Want to take over the power technology department from ATL?

Dreaming!
