Chapter 370: Time is of the essence

"Who would have thought that you could make such a difference with just a small communication tool?"

The two young people, representing the capital of their Southeast Asian compatriots, came quickly and left even faster.

It was as if there was a ferocious beast chasing after him, and he didn't want to stop for even a moment.

Zhou Shouyuan did not leave. He is the president of the overseas (global) business unit of Qingyun Electronic Technology, and also the overseas (global) chief operating officer of WeChat Technology and Micropayment, which is in the process of being established.

The forces behind him obtained shares of the QR Code Group through the Qingyun Xiangjiang Foundation, and the interests of both parties have long been tied together.

It was through their family that Li Zehua obtained shares in a copper mine with astonishing reserves from Malaya. Although he did not hold a controlling stake, he had an annual export quota that was envied by outsiders.

At this moment, he held the Panda Z10 in his hand and placed the latest Apple model on the table, looking at it over and over again. "Can the combination of the computer's Internet access function and the mobile phone's communication function really unleash such great power?"

Those who have not experienced the baptism of mobile Internet will never understand what a crazy era that was. The carnival feast of capital is not enough to describe its extent.

It is better to say that it is the madness of everyone. Even the most ordinary people at the bottom of society, as long as they are brave enough, can make their first pot of gold through various dazzling apps.

Financial service companies that lure social deposits with interest rates of 8-30% have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, but they are not aiming to operate well at all.

Under the overwhelming advertising, everyone went crazy, becoming impetuous and impulsive, as if the wealth they had accumulated for decades was just a piece of paper.

Just swipe on your smartphone, hand it over easily, and then in return you will get a set of numbers. You can see the numbers grow when you open your eyes every day.

Of course, this adrenaline-pumping happiness will not last long. Just like a beautiful dream, it will be shattered sooner or later.

Li Zehua simply wanted to add fuel to the fire; as for how it would rot in the end, it was none of his business.

As the saying goes, there is no construction without destruction!

The Qingyun Group took advantage of the financial crisis to seize control of resources from the hands of large companies and enterprises that were collapsing, and climbed to the top step by step on their corpses.

In the initial stage, it will harvest a wave of bottom-level companies in Southeast Asian countries to complete the original accumulation, and then push upward to merge and reorganize, take the initiative in the constant exchange of interests, and gradually absorb the resources of other companies.

Finally, it gradually grew into an unshakable consortium, the core of which lies in the control of WeChat technology and micropayments.

A mobile Internet empire that relies on smartphones and patented QR code scanning!
“…You should understand that Squid Capital’s layout has never been a one-day thing, and it has been going on since the 98 Southeast Asian economic crisis, whether we admit it or not.

We must face up to one problem, that is, Southeast Asian capital can only rely on squid capital and rely on them for shelter in order to continue playing for a long time.

Now, an excellent window of opportunity to break free from control has emerged, allowing us to overtake Europe and the United States before they have fully completed their layout of the mobile Internet industry.

The speed and scale of WeChat's development are the key to determining whether you can gain a foothold in future business competition.

Resisting change and ignoring changes in the external environment will lead to being eliminated from the competition early and becoming an outcast of capital expansion.

Lao Zhou, you are a smart man, so I don’t need to say too much.

If you succeed, you will be a member of the group that actually controls the Southeast Asian economy in the future and will have considerable say.

failure?

What is failure?
Just like Li Jia, who represented Great Eastern Insurance, once he gets on board and tastes the sweetness of Internet finance, he will never leave.

With them around, at best they can achieve limited success in controlling a few key industries.

The development of pure insurance business has reached obvious commercial bottlenecks today, and the larger the capital, the more advantages it has.

For example, in Lijiaopo, AIA is gradually eroding the interests of local groups, which are backed by large international conglomerates with countless financial advantages.

Even if they can win one or two competitions by chance, it will not be able to reverse the overall unfavorable situation. Perhaps in another ten years, there will only be a few local groups left in the whole of Southeast Asia.

God only knows!
Therefore, Great Eastern will definitely try to proactively find ways to break the impasse. The emergence of the group will be a new hope for all companies that are in urgent need of change but are unable to change the status quo.

Based on this, almost all companies and industries controlled by compatriots are potential targets for cooperation, at least in terms of economy. "

Li Zehua is not exaggerating. Almost everyone can see the trend, but change is not that easy.

Especially for large groups that control resources, it is impossible to easily change the strategic development direction without a few years. For example, Baidu, didn’t it see the speed of development of mobile Internet?
Unfortunately, the advertising revenue from the computer side is too comfortable, so comfortable that the entire group’s top management, behind-the-scenes investors, and capital groups are all resisting change from the bottom of their hearts.

When you can make a million dollars every day when you open your eyes, no one would take the initiative to innovate because that would mean unpredictable risks.

Instead of investing tens of billions or even hundreds of billions to develop new technologies, it is better to try every possible way to make more money from existing businesses. No matter how fast the mobile Internet develops, it is impossible to replace computers in a short period of time.

But Southeast Asian capital is completely different, because the capital representing the indigenous people has never been their own people, but people from Southeast University who have the same appearance and skin as Li Zehua, but also the same inner qualities.

Cultural and spiritual identity cannot be easily changed, no matter how weird the banana culture is on the Internet, in essence, or in the eyes of Westerners.

These two groups are one family.

Therefore, even if Squid has the best basic quality education in the world, and has a series of advantages such as hard work, obedience to orders, etc., it is impossible for Squid to truly accept the University of Tokyo.

Not to mention making us the main force to add sabotage to America. Pulling people in from outside is to break traditions, break authority, and dilute the traditional American Anglo-Saxon base.

To facilitate capital control and brainwashing, what they need is cheap labor and cheap votes, not a bunch of Dongda people who rush up to compete with them for the dominant position in resource allocation.

In particular, behind this group of people is a powerful manufacturing industrial country that is difficult to infiltrate and almost impossible to control.

550 million registered residents is America’s most direct attitude towards the University of Tokyo. No matter how nice the words sound, the number is here. How can you think of more?

Feel sorry!

They need obedient people, not highly educated people who are not easy to fool.

If possible, they would rather accept 10 million Latin American people who have not even finished primary school because they are easier to control.

But the people from Dongda University are too smart and they keep pouring in to occupy good positions. Just like how they do business, they like to turn the entire industry into a stand-alone game that only they can play.

Relying on a complete industrial chain, as long as Dongda enters an industry, that industry is destined to be sold at a very low price. There have been many signs of this in 2010.

Squid Capital is in a lot of trouble, but in order to complete its global strategy, it can only compromise and win over those who resist the most, while at the same time taking ruthless measures against those who resist the most fiercely.

Southeast Asian capital is now at a stage where it is on the eve of being tamed, but it also wants to make different voices from time to time. Severe suppression will not be able to stop the expansion from the north.

Without suppression, there is no way to continue stealing nutrients from this land. Fortunately, in addition to American squid capital, there is also Dai Ying.

Unlike the squid, which can only open the sickle harvesting mode nakedly or use force to coerce, Dai Yingcai is a master of tricks. The art of compromise and interest exchange is fully reflected here.

Almost all large groups, including Great Eastern Insurance, have been affected by infiltration but are constrained by the rules of the game and cannot openly resist.

Because they can't find a practical way to break free from control.

Even Temasek, the Lee Ka Po sovereign investment fund, needs capital support from the West to gradually establish its own sphere of economic influence within the University of the South.

The emergence of mobile Internet and micropayments has given them the possibility of overtaking others. Through this platform, they can mobilize huge social resources at the first opportunity.

To complete any business layout they want, in this process, the huge resources will tempt and split the internal forces of Squid Capital, causing some of them to deviate from the original strategy.

Capital, while being weak, also has an inherent flaw of placing too much emphasis on short-term interests, a resource pool that can instantly reap the benefits of hundreds of millions of people in an entire country or region.

Why don't you rush over and seize control?
Any other plans? Sorry, please wait in the back row. Let’s eat this piece of fat first. Will the competitors grow stronger because of it?
Isn't that a matter of the future...

Zhou Shouyuan was eager to try, "So, this is an open conspiracy?"

"Of course!"

Li Zehua said without hesitation: "For example, when you visited the company, weren't you always curious about the small scale of Jiandanai Mutual Aid Fundraising, but they filmed video clips of every donation?
In addition to moving people, it can also give people a new understanding of accidents and diseases, and make them feel the insignificance and helplessness of human beings in the process of cognition, if it can be controlled through public opinion, such as WeChat technology.

Continue to sell health to the elderly, anxiety to women, and education to children, giving hope to the lower class, fear to the middle class, and a brand new spiritual sustenance to the whole society.

If we instill this idea into everyone little by little, will buying insurance, pre-consumption, overdraft and borrowing become deeply rooted concepts in people's minds?
Isn’t it natural to preserve wealth, increase investment, and ensure financial security that extend from personal safety, accidents, and illness?
In this process, the insurance company will use capital to generate ten incomes from one contract, and quickly complete the original accumulation by repeatedly purchasing, mortgaging and reselling.

The heir of Great Eastern seems to have an eccentric personality, but he is a truly smart man. He can see through the underlying business logic at a glance.

So he proposed that multiple companies form a new Internet insurance group, start business in multiple countries at the same time, strive to complete the business layout in three to five years, and then withdraw. "

Zhou Shouyuan smiled bitterly, "If it wasn't for the close contact, I really can't imagine that this is your method.

But I am very curious. Southeast Asian countries do not have a unified foreign exchange management system. Even if you succeed, in the end, you will only earn a lot of your own currency.

However, the amount of US dollars is limited. Once the market collapses, it will inevitably lead to soaring prices in the country, currency depreciation, and depression in all industries.

How can we ensure that the profits we earn can be perfectly preserved in this process? "

"Isn't this simple?"

Li Zehua looked at him confidently and said, “The first wave is just a fight for control over resources. No matter how much local currency we earn through mobile Internet, it is meaningless.

Because the dominant power is still in the hands of Squid Capital, but we can continuously raise the domestic stock market and heat up the domestic financing market through the operation of capital.

In the process of continuously investing in the left and right hands at high premiums, more foreign capital will be attracted to join, whether it is from local companies, Europe and the United States, or even capital from Africa and West Asia.

Hasn’t White Elephant always wanted to expand its influence in Southeast Asia?
No problem, as long as they are willing to bring tons of US dollars, we can sell anything. When the market collapses in the future, none of these people will be able to escape, and they will all be left behind to be buried with us.

In this process, we continued to win over certain groups within Squid Capital and launched challenges against forces outside our group, relying on the continuous financial support through the micropayment platform.

We can arbitrarily raise the overall valuation and market value of an industry and provoke greedy competitors to join the game. As long as they participate in the game, they have no choice but to follow the set route.

In the carnival of capital operation, their assets are emptied bit by bit. Once the micro-payment plan is successful, they will have as much local currency as they want.

It is no problem to raise the price of resources originally worth 100 to . As long as the bosses of these industry companies are interested and open up a gap for us to enter the market, we can seize market share by expanding our operations.

Raise valuations, encourage listings, force them to never stop for even a second, and then arrange for the bubble to burst at a certain stage.

The collapse of a business empire due to a broken capital chain is not uncommon around the world. We take over small companies and take over the core high-quality resources of large companies.

Even if we spend another thousand to buy resources originally worth one hundred, we will still make a huge profit, because these resources will never belong to us in the first place.

Now, we can use the funds raised from the market to buy and gain control. We only need to pay some insignificant interest. The actual cost calculated through currency depreciation can be completely ignored.

The remaining garbage is packaged and repackaged, beautified and praised through the control of WeChat technology and public opinion, using whatever means are effective.

By throwing it into the market for everyone to digest, it will definitely make a fortune again. Maybe it can even offset all costs and gain complete control.

You know, Squid Capital is now the undisputed leader in the market. We are still very weak and do not have the ability to expand unlimitedly. We can only take little by little.

Eat a little and digest it, then stop and wait for a better time to attack to avoid hidden dangers.

Never give the squid the chance to eat us in one bite.

Such opportunities were rare in the past because they had no enemies. Even the once powerful polar bears had never been a rival to squids in the financial markets.

But now it’s different. The emergence of Dongda has given the squids a sense of urgency. In order to defeat this powerful opponent, they will empty their last penny, just like before.

The art of playing all-in depends on who can persevere to the end, so there are plenty of opportunities in this torturous process.

Through such means, we can completely control all key industries in round after round of expansion, and any enemy who dares to go against us will be wiped out.

Even if there are a few smart people among them who have a long-term vision and stick to their original intentions, it will be of no use, because their number will always be an absolute minority.

Moreover, in the disorderly expansion of capital, restless capital will actively impact all industries. If they refuse to embrace capital, it means falling behind in the new round of industry expansion.

Without capital support, they can’t even maintain their original market share, let alone develop, and will soon disappear on their own.”

Li Zehua finished all this in one breath, picked up a glass of ice wine and drank it all, then looked at Zhou Shouyuan, "Your interests and mine have long been tied together.

There are some things you don't have to keep in your heart.

For example, I really don’t like the attitude of the people who came to hold me accountable today.

You'd better tell yourself that every decision I make is for the common good of everyone.

Even if it seems that more semiconductor support is provided to Lijiaopo, it is also for the service of the big plan. No matter what the people behind you think, it cannot affect the interests of the group.

Never question any of my decisions easily!

Understand? "

Zhou Shouyuan understood, but he did not refuse.

Because the two people who just left have proved with practical actions what a special status Qingyun Electronic Technology, WeChat Technology, Micropayment, and even the future Douyin Interactive Entertainment have.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is the core of the plan.

It is another core QR code group. He and the group behind him own too little share. "The three major companies in Lijiapo own more than 10% of the shares of the QR code group, while I only own 1%.

this? "

"Then prove your importance with actual actions instead of trying to impress me with mere words.

Just like the Shanghai government reaching out for the QR code of Southeast Asia Group shares, it can provide support and protection for the domestic Qingyun Group's business.

And here, I only see the pitiful data of 113 million users in half a year.

Is this your reward?"

Li Zehua rebuked mercilessly, "I have already arranged the order for the Lijiapo wafer factory. Now it's your turn to perform. Half a year, at most.

I don't care what means you use, you must get enough OEM orders from Qualcomm, and then deal with the telecom operators here. In half a year, I want to see orders for 10 million Roewe mobile phones.

Within one year, we must at least establish a basic base of mobile Internet users covering 20 to 30 million people.

Time is money, it is life. Do you still want to waste your crucial time on meaningless waiting and wrangling?"

Zhou Shouyuan had a bitter face, but he didn't dare to refuse: "As for the telecom operator, we will get it done as soon as possible, I promise!"

"It'd better be true!" (End of this chapter)
