"I feel like I need to get to know you again. This doesn't fit in with my usual perception."
Lin Wenhui did not appear until Zhou Shouyuan left, but he felt dizzy. It was obvious that he was overwhelmed by the series of arrangements made by Li Zehua just now.
Is this still the man in his impression who is wholeheartedly committed to building an economic circulation circle covering the entire country?
In China, he is determined to get rid of capital, and his actions can be regarded as an absolutely positive image in the eyes of the general public.
But as soon as he goes out, he immediately arranges a gift package that explodes on the spot for everyone in Southeast Asia. According to his way of playing, within five years, wherever micropayments go, there will be wailing everywhere.
He could confidently say that if this plan were to be leaked, the angry crowd would tear the participants to pieces and trample them ten thousand, no, one hundred million times.
As for the instigator, Mr. Li, he is destined to be infamous for eternity in the history textbooks of Southeast Asian countries, even more so than Soros, who was infamous for three miles.
It is no exaggeration to say that anyone who is bold enough and not afraid of death can build a tourist attraction at Li's ancestral grave in his hometown, charge admission fees, play firecracker throwing, and give away hoe projects, and become a billionaire in minutes.
In contrast, Li Zehua knew nothing and just said coldly: "To be kind to the enemy is the greatest betrayal to your own people.
The so-called expansion of living space has always been a cruel competition of life and death. Survival of the fittest determines the winners and the losers, and there is no warmth at all.
My kindness is only to my fellow countrymen.
If you are not of my race, I will not care about your life or death.
Living space is won with blood and sword, not dropped from thin air."
Lin Wenhui couldn't understand, "But if we carry out this plan, won't Squid Capital be the biggest beneficiary?
With more than a decade of business layout, they have established a complete system in Southeast Asia. Whether it is boosting the stock market or industry valuation, they will take most of the final profits. "
"This is the key to the smooth implementation of the plan. Only if Squid Capital gets the maximum benefit will they allow the micro-payment Yu'ebao to expand in Southeast Asia. Without this piece of fat, why would they allow it?
Don't be fooled by the words of those people just now. In fact, when they go back, they still need the approval of the capital behind them. After counting the accounts, the junk that they have accumulated in their hands and couldn't get rid of can finally be sold at a good price this time.
They are willing to cooperate because they have too much junk and can make a lot of money by revitalizing the underlying assets, taking the opportunity to swallow up competitors and gain more market share.
For squid capital, it is better to cut off the roots than to mow the grass. They are salivating over many resources in Southeast Asia. They didn’t have the chance to get their hands on them before, but now I hand them the knife, and they are eager to get it. "
Squid Capital is not a god. They are certainly the main players behind the active promotion of mobile Internet technology and its implementation. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are chess players.
They use certain means to achieve a certain goal, but they themselves don’t know what kind of variables will arise in the process and what the final outcome will be.
After all, no one has experience with this kind of thing. Fortunately, the squid capital controls enough resources. No matter which way the wind blows, the meat will eventually rot in the pot for them to pick and eat.
The reason why he chose to launch the plan first at the University of Tokyo in his previous life was, to put it bluntly, he wanted to strike at his biggest competitor at the same time. It would be best if he could completely destroy it, but if that didn't work, he could at least reap a large amount of benefits.
The Southeast Asian market is already their favorite, and it would be a waste to use Internet finance, this peerless weapon, to reap the benefits. Moreover, once this thing comes out, it will instantly arouse high vigilance among countries around the world.
If they want to completely replicate the tactics used at the University of Tokyo in Southeast Asia, there are many links that need to be opened up and there are also great obstacles in the process of advancement. Historically, it took them nearly ten years.
By combining forces supported by the University of the East, a two-pronged approach was adopted to force Annan, Siam and other countries to open up their mobile Internet financial markets to a limited extent.
It seems that Siam will not allow the banking industry, industry and commerce to use QR codes for payment on a large scale until around 2023. They still have a long way to go before nationwide large-scale financial harvesting.
Of course, they will all fall into the same pit that Todai has fallen into, and will fall even harder, because interests will blind the eyes of all participants, and selective blindness has become an old tradition.
The most fundamental reason for the delayed promotion is that the local infrastructure is too backward, quality education and related industries cannot keep up with the planned progress, and the relationships between interest groups in various places are complicated.
Without a strong institution to connect the various interest groups, the orders from Bangkok would have no idea what they would look like when they reach the local level. Without a large, unified market, this would simply not work.
To put it bluntly, the cost of reaping the benefits of nationwide Internet finance is too high. You can't invest in infrastructure such as water, electricity, transportation, telecommunications networks, etc. in advance just to deceive the lower classes into saving some money, right?
By the way, we can also improve basic quality education, strive to make Southeast Asia the second East China Sea, build a considerable industrial base, and support a large group of industrial workers?
Nonsense, they are here to reap the profits, not to do charity or construction. Instead of doing this, they might as well stick to the old ways and support their own group's interest representatives wherever they go.
Through them, local resources can be harvested bit by bit. Although the amount is not large, it is stable and lasting. In turn, it can also make use of compradors scattered across the country to resist the establishment of a large national market.
Avoid the emergence of a large force in the local area that can compete with squid capital (a specific large group) and reduce the cost of economic colonization.
It was not until the University of Tokyo had achieved great internal strength and was competing with American capital in comprehensive strength to seize the dominance of resources worldwide to see who could outlast the other that Squid Capital recovered and made up for its losses.
Only then did they relax restrictions on capital from Southeast Asian countries and start vigorously supporting powerful comprador groups to help them achieve national industry market unification and facilitate the rapid and accurate harvesting of squid.
Just by reading the news, you can tell that before 2000, billions of dollars were reaped from the financial markets of Southeast Asian countries, but financial crises across the country can easily result in losses of hundreds of billions of dollars.
almost none.
Because the squids used fences to keep the compradors in each region in check to prevent them from annexing each other and growing stronger, but after 20 years, the squids themselves could no longer withstand the pressure.
In addition, with a heavy kick from Dongda Capital, the originally shaky fence wall collapsed. Squid was frightened and had to take action first, otherwise all the cattle and horses he raised would be eaten by others.
Back to the present, Squid Capital is equivalent to opening a card game. They have the power to formulate and interpret the rules, deal the cards, act as referees, notaries, and provide security.
Those who are qualified to participate in the card game are those who have ulterior motives and are blinded by profit. Whether out of greed or being forced, they must come to the table because there is still a future if they let go and take a risk.
With luck, skill and strategy, you can get away with it unscathed.
Does not participate?
Sorry, you either join the game or be put on the table as a chip and manipulated by others. There is no third choice.
Fortunately, the placement of each card and the order in which it is played can be traced. At most, everyone doesn’t know each other’s hidden cards. The biggest variable is whether Squid will increase the stakes and change the rules midway?
For all participants, there is a common demand, which is to prevent the organizer of the game from adding chips without limit, cheating and overturning the table.
After all, it is a recognized fact that bacteria are likely to grow wherever oil is found.
Thanks to the advantage of rebirth, Li Zehua was able to see in advance the bottom cards of all parties involved, as well as the bad roots and weaknesses of Squid Capital.
On the surface, this group of people always believe in violence, are superstitious about violence, and advocate violence, as if violence is invincible and can defeat everything.
In fact, in this process, the benefits of continued external expansion were not shared with traditional Ansa, the seeds of dissatisfaction had been planted, and internal strife was inevitable.
Coupled with the short-sightedness and weakness of capital, once the immediate benefits are big enough, they will jump in without hesitation. In order to make money, they can abandon not only their parents but even their humanity.
Reaping the benefits of Internet finance in Southeast Asia.
Poor infrastructure and weak telecommunications networks are not a problem. The urbanization process in Southeast Asia is not bad. With tens of millions of urban populations, they can still reap the fruits of their 20 to 30 years of labor.
As for the mess left behind a few years later, what does it have to do with him?
Everyone who borrows money in advance and overdraws in the hope of getting rich through a stock market boom and using financial leverage does so voluntarily. People always have to pay the price for their greed.
By then, there will be millions of people who will go bankrupt and jump off buildings or run away. As the saying goes, there is no construction without destruction. If they don't give up the resources they originally controlled, how can Qingyun Group take advantage of the situation?
If you want to blame someone, blame them for not having a strong motherland to back them up. In history, Southeast Asia has experienced all this and was able to withstand it with its comprehensive national strength. This time it is Southeast Asia's turn.
I can only say sorry.
Anyway, Mr. Li intends to use the tragic endings of these countries to give early warnings. You see, this is the end of Internet finance that gets out of control.
Perhaps it can also interrupt the squid capital's delusion of transferring the industrial chain in advance, allowing the University of Tokyo to seize a more advantageous position in the world economic competition.
Thinking of this, Li Zehua changed the subject:
"Xiao Lin, you are a veteran of the company. You were sent here as an investor to supervise the company since its establishment. You have made great contributions to the company's development to where it is today. I am also optimistic about you.
Because you don't have too complicated social relationships behind you, which is far better than Zhou Shouyuan, Fang Guohui and others.
No matter how powerful these people are, they still have to serve the interest groups behind them in the end, and their relationship with the company is just mutually beneficial. But you are different. In the future, you can even take charge of the entire group. As long as Qingyun can continue to develop, relying on the resources you have obtained, plus the share reserved for you in Qingyun Investment, it will not be a problem for you to become a billionaire in the future.
The road, how to go, and what is most beneficial, is up to you to decide.”
Li Zehua had high expectations for him because Lin Wenhui had a very clean network of connections. He came from an ordinary family and got to where he is today through his own efforts. Temasek had a great influence on him.
But it no longer plays a decisive role.
Because Li Zehua gave more.
Regardless of whether he agrees with the group's strategic development concept or how reluctant he is, he must consider his own future.
If you follow the group, you will have money, beauty and status.
Lin Wenhui is a smart man. He used to have a job with an annual salary of 25 Singapore dollars, which, with various bonuses, would not exceed 60 Singapore dollars.
With options worth hundreds of millions, bonuses of tens of millions at any time, and a promising future, would you still consider it?
But he didn't wait for him to express his loyalty.
Li Zehua continued: “Even without me, mobile Internet would have penetrated into every aspect of human society little by little according to the layout of Western capital.
Since we can't stop it, why not join in at the first opportunity and take a bite of the fat to strengthen ourselves?
Squid Capital is not a monolithic entity, and what’s more, the meat given out is the meat of the Southeast Asian market. What does their life or death have to do with me?”
Lin Wenhui was silent. He really wanted to say: Boss, actually I am from Lijiaopo.
But then I thought, that’s not right, my boss and I are compatriots from the same clan and local natives, how could they be worthy?
Which is more important, using their bloody lessons to save more compatriots?
Thinking this way, he instantly felt relieved of all the burden and instead felt a sense of pride. He was doing good things that were benefiting the country and the people.
As for the millions of lives that were thrown away lightly in this plan, who cares?
"Boss, Mr. Wei Kejian and Mr. Lin Wending have been waiting outside for a long time. Do you need to meet them?"
"Xiao Lin, I'm very pleased that you figured it out so quickly. From now on, you will represent me and the group to negotiate with the various groups. You can handle some non-essential principle issues as you wish."
Li Zehua was very satisfied with his speed of transformation and decided to give him more responsibilities. He then said, "Let the two of them come in, and fire the former Motorola Southeast Asia Vice President.
What a waste, without the original resources and connections, it is useless. "
He was even too lazy to mention the other person's name. Although he was recommended by Honor Electronics President Guo Xinyi, he has been the president of Qingyun Electronics Southeast Asia Division since he took office.
Apart from providing some insignificant help in the negotiations for the procurement of parts and patent licensing, there has been no achievement in other matters.
Even to this day, even the contract with Luzon’s largest telecommunications company has not been negotiated, and network access cooperation with telecommunications companies in other countries is basically achieved through the QR code group’s shareholder relations.
What else can such a person do in the group except wasting hundreds of thousands of dollars on travel, food, and public relations expenses every month?
Every time he goes out, he either takes a chartered flight or a first-class cabin. When Li Zehua saw the expense report of the Southeast Asia Division in the last six months, he almost died of anger.
The cost of technology investment and personnel training is not even half of the market development service fee. Look where these people spend their money?
He travels in a Rolls-Royce Phantom, but his car is a Maybach 62.
In addition to a long-term leased Gulfstream business private jet and two luxury yachts, one large and one small, millions of dollars are spent on these every month.
The reimbursement documents are also varied, starting from an executive suite in a five-star hotel to high-end restaurants spending thousands of dollars. Do you think he is being taken advantage of?
Lin Wenhui, the group's chief financial officer, suddenly became Xiao Lin, which was a direct outlet for Li Zehua's dissatisfaction.
Xiao Lin had no way of saying his pain because it was difficult for him to directly intervene in overseas affairs due to Liu Zijie from the Compliance and Supervision Department, especially since the latter had also served as the Group's President of Overseas Affairs.
Faced with the reimbursement documents from the Southeast Asia Division, Wu Wenhui, President of the Finance Department, has raised objections several times and is preparing to send a professional audit team to conduct an on-site review.
They were all suppressed by him. On the one hand, he didn't want to offend Liu Zijie. On the other hand, he was familiar with the local situation and knew that business development required resource investment.
I just didn’t expect that they would go so far as to even have a private jet?
"You two are really enjoying your lives. My visit here won't affect your happy lives too much, right?"
Facing the criticism from his boss, Wei Kejian took the initiative to take responsibility, "Chairman, all the mistakes are my fault. I didn't review it strictly..."
"Of course it's your responsibility!"
Li Zehua said sternly: "As the president of the Southeast Asia Division of the group, are you treating yourself as a big salesperson?
In six months, he flew to nine countries and met with the heads of 67 large companies, negotiated more than 20 core business cooperations, and established 15 overseas branches from scratch.
As for the results, they are average, but there are prominent problems. You are the president of the group business unit, and you are in charge of the overall work, which is not the place for you to charge into battle on the front line.
That so-and-so asked him to be in charge of the promotion of Qingyun Electronic Technology in Southeast Asia, but he stayed in Lijiaopo for a long time and went out to sea for fun under the guise of discussing business.
Not satisfied yet, he even chartered a private jet and attended various parties and gatherings, squandering the group's funds to build his own network?
It has lasted for more than half a year without being discovered or stopped, which makes me wonder if the two of you have secretly switched positions?"
Wei Kejian was so embarrassed that he didn't know where to put his feet. The business unit had just started and he needed to lead the development personally. Lin Wending was a pure technical talent, so there was no problem in letting him work on scientific research projects.
Managing the daily affairs of the business unit and dealing with interpersonal relationships are too difficult for him, otherwise the Southeast Asia headquarters of Qingyun Group would not be rented next door to the Temasek headquarters.
There was also a joke about entrusting Temasek to purchase office equipment on its behalf.
It can be seen that the management of the Lijiaopo headquarters is lax. Even Lin Wendi could not help but complain directly to his superiors. He almost said that Wei Kejian was incompetent and was more suitable to be a president in charge of business.
Rather than focusing on the overall situation.
Although Liu Zijie cannot tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes, he is far away in Shanghai and does not know the specific situation. Judging from the financial statements, the preparatory work for the various group businesses in Southeast Asia is proceeding as planned.
Even if it exceeds some budget, it is still acceptable.
This is also the reason why Wei Kejian was not dealt with immediately. There are too few available talents, especially those involved in overseas business, which can be counted on one hand.
Seeing that the lesson had been learned, Lin Wenhui stepped forward to read out the company's final decision. Wei Kejian was demoted to the executive vice president of Qingyun (Southeast Asia) Group, specifically responsible for business expansion.
Lin Wending was not implicated much and was appointed as the group's Southeast Asian technology president, with full responsibility for electronic technology research and development as well as hardware and software optimization.
Including the engineers who came to Lijiaopo wafer factory for study and exchange, they were also put under his charge.
"Pinxixi, Chimei, the preparations for Hummingbird's landing in Southeast Asia are almost ready. In order to learn from this experience, a special person will be sent from China to take charge.
In addition, all businesses of WeChat Technology and Micropayment, and the sales business of Qingyun Electronic Technology will be temporarily separated from the Southeast Asian company. The group will make separate arrangements after communicating with friendly companies. "
Faced with the group's final decision, Wei Kejian, who had just been criticized, did not dare to refuse.
What he didn't expect was that Li Zehua later made the decision to transfer all management and decision-making power of the Southeast Asian branch to Qingyun's overseas headquarters.
This made Wei Kejian resist from the bottom of his heart, "Where is Mr. Liu?"
"Mr. Liu's compliance department is even busier. Now the group has hundreds of thousands of domestic employees who need him to keep an eye on them all the time. How can he have time to take care of overseas business?
You have met Mr. Zhou Shouyuan. In the future, a large number of senior executives from friendly companies will join us. In order to facilitate unified management, appropriate adjustments are necessary.
What, are you going to refuse?"
Faced with the personal pressure from the big boss, Wei Kejian had no choice but to obey. (End of this chapter)
