Problems in the real estate and electronics industries were successfully resolved.
The issues of online ride-hailing operating licenses and entry are difficult to deal with.
In fact, before Shunfeng Chuxing was established, many similar car reservation services had already appeared in various places, mainly taxis, supplemented by a small number of high-end hotel reservations.
This industry was once the focus of capital, but soon there was no follow-up. There were many reasons for this, mainly because the operating costs were too high and the returns were too low.
The market has always existed, especially when the weather is bad, there are a lot of customers who need to make reservations in advance for vehicle pick-up and drop-off, but traditional vehicle operating companies cannot be said to be indifferent.
It can only be said that nothing has been done.
In fact, you can find many similar examples in life. Compared with more than 20 years ago, restaurants no longer post signs saying: "No hitting of customers allowed."
In addition, lying down and taking money without doing any work is still the mainstream. It is almost impossible for people who lie down and do nothing to achieve self-breakthrough and self-service innovation.
Rather than providing better and more extensive services to the general public, they would rather limit the market size to the high-end and charge high fees far exceeding the service itself.
They are also unwilling to put down their airs and provide better services to the entire middle and lower classes.
Some people would say that before the advent of smartphones, it was difficult for ordinary people to quickly order a car through the platform, as there was no perfect balance in terms of fees, positioning, time, and vehicles.
So, have you eaten it? Or how did meal delivery (Ele.me) develop in history?
There is room for the rise of telephone food delivery, but there is no possibility for telephone car ordering to grow. The fundamental reason is that there is a huge group behind it that is trying to resist change and is hindering it.
Once upon a time, the price of a taxi license was sky-high, with the cost easily reaching hundreds of thousands or even millions of yuan, plus the monthly commission.
They have made the entire upstream and midstream industrial chain prosperous, so they are unwilling to give up the huge profits that they can make without doing anything.
The most appropriate measure is this: all justice in words, all business in heart.
But now, the situation is different, because Qingyun Group has come. Not long ago, Qingyun submitted an overall plan for domestic new energy to the top level through internal channels.
In this report, Qingyun conducted a comprehensive analysis from the perspectives of energy security, materials, minerals, upstream and downstream of the domestic industrial chain and future market prospects, and provided sufficient arguments and support.
It is concluded that it is urgent to develop new energy vehicles, develop the domestic new energy industry chain, and break the monopoly of traditional groups on the taxi industry.
This report was, of course, prepared at the instruction of Li Zehua. The third urgent matter was due to comprehensive considerations of the online car-hailing business and not breaking the traffic management monopoly.
Online ride-hailing is doomed to have no future.
To achieve this goal, we must start from the basics. Why develop new energy?
This is because almost all the technological advantages of traditional oil vehicles are controlled by Western capital, including the underlying patents of core components such as fuel engines and transmissions, which cannot be avoided in any way.
How could it be possible for Tokyo University to overtake them easily with their more than a hundred years of technological accumulation?
The reality of the surge in the number of traditional fuel vehicles has forced the country to increase crude oil imports, which not only wastes precious foreign exchange resources, but also concerns the security of the country's lifeline.
This major maritime energy transportation artery, which stretches from the Persian Gulf to the vast Indian Ocean, through Malacca, to the South China Sea, and finally reaches the country, is under constant threat from the enemy.
Once there is a change, no one dares to guarantee the safety of this transportation line!
No one can guarantee that the enemy will not use this bargaining chip to threaten others when facing disputes in international affairs.
The United States, which was fighting in Central Asia and West Asia under the banner of the anti-kong war, began to try to establish an encirclement to control the East from the land.
The plan to rely on land pipeline transportation was also hindered.
Therefore, we must vigorously develop electric vehicles, bypass the obstacles of Western patent traps, and establish a core industrial chain that belongs to Dongda itself.
The importance of a complete trillion-dollar market with independent intellectual property rights to economic and energy security is self-evident.
In this report, the bright future, expected investment, preparations, overseas mineral investment and overall planning described by the Qingyun Group made the upper echelons excited.
As the most direct response, seven ministries will jointly issue detailed rules for the implementation of subsidies for new energy industries and domestic batteries in the near future.
In this subsidy plan, it will be clearly stated for the first time that enterprises where foreign capital holds a controlling stake or a stake of more than 20% will be excluded from the subsidy list.
Li Zehua, this little butterfly, finally changed history again, because this policy did not appear in history until 2011.
The first to suffer the brunt of the impact was Ningde New Energy ATL, a company that was nominally controlled by Xiangjiang Capital but was actually 100% controlled by Jiaobenji. It was suddenly in trouble.
In the field of mobile phone batteries and laptop batteries, ATL is the undisputed global leader, and its main users are all well-known companies, such as Apple, Dell, HP, and Motorola.
And Nokia is going downhill without knowing it, even thinking about it.
The Chinese auto industry has been planning to develop new energy for a long time. In fact, major automakers around the world are all developing new energy to varying degrees, such as Toyota and Mercedes-Benz's parent company Daimler Group.
Toyota has invested in Tesla and is also the holder of basic patents in the field of hydrogen energy.
ATL New Energy has gradually broken through the technical barriers from small batteries to automotive batteries through its layout in China. Its power technology research and development department was established in 08.
We are committed to conducting in-depth research on the application of lithium, nano and other battery power fields.
But the good days are coming to an end, because after losing the policy subsidies from the upper level, even if they successfully develop similar mature products, they will not be able to gain a competitive advantage in the market.
For example, the price of the newly-emerged new energy vehicles differs by tens of thousands with or without subsidies. It is almost impossible for products of the same level to survive without subsidies.
On the day the policy was announced, Zeng Yumin called Li Zehua and said that ATL New Energy was considering buying off the company through interests, reaching a secret agreement in private, and holding shares behind the scenes.
They want to force them to accept a settlement, establish a new domestic company that is nominally domestically funded but actually continues to be controlled by Jiaobenji, and share technology patents in order to evade supervision.
There were only two options before them at the time. The first was to pretend to compromise, then collect evidence and use it as a bargaining chip at a critical moment to force ATL to withdraw.
The second is to openly break up with each other, use policies as bargaining chips, and package the ATL power technology research and development department at a reasonable price.
Li Zehua prefers the latter. Even if the price is higher, it can prevent future troubles and prevent ATL New Energy from inserting private individuals and stealing research and development results.
Zeng Yumin chose the first path. He is also an ambitious person, otherwise he would not have started his own business and achieved a market value of nearly 10 billion at one point. It’s just that he was not vigilant enough.
He was tricked by a conspiracy of several investment institutions, which led to the loss of control of the company.
Zeng Yumin had carefully considered choosing the first path. To put it bluntly, the power technology research and development department had already accumulated a certain amount of technology, and it would be time-consuming and laborious to abandon it and start over.
It may not be better than the original technical route.
This is based on technical considerations.
Moreover, although the acquisition was made by Qingyun Power Technology Co., Ltd., which unprecedentedly retained 30% of the option distribution, 15% of the management, and 15% of the technology, Zeng Yumin did not have the initiative to decide how much he could get.
The first path is different, because Jiaobenji has also learned to compromise. They promise to give a certain amount of shares directly to the management, and actively contact domestic companies that can hold shares on behalf of the company.
Zeng Yumin hopes that the Qingyun Group can participate in this round of financing and obtain a certain amount of shares to help implement the subsequent plan of driving out ATL with the help of upper-level forces.
Only in this way can the management take full control of the initiative and obtain more shares and future interest guarantees.
This is the best choice based on reality. It is understandable that everyone considers their own future. Even ATL New Energy has been forced to compromise.
Li Zehua did not refuse, but did not agree either.
Because he attracted a large number of giants in related industries through Zeng Yumin's teacher, a scientific research institute with more than 300 doctoral students has been established in Suzhou.
The development speed in mobile phone batteries, laptop computer batteries, and power technology batteries is extremely fast. Especially since he is willing to spend money to test various basic materials, he will be able to find his own way sooner or later.
Through the cooperation with BYD Electronics, he also established a friendship with Wang Chuanfu. The cooperation between Qingyun and BYD is about to reach a breakthrough.
He is even more reluctant to compromise easily, especially since ATL New Energy is also competing with Qingyun Group in South America and Southeast Asia for key resources such as nickel, cobalt, and lithium for lithium batteries through the influence of its parent company.
This move just shows that ATL has not given up on its new energy layout and is trying to build its own new energy empire bit by bit.
Zeng Yumin's attempt to break free from ATL's control is tantamount to courting disaster.
Li Zehua didn't care anymore. He sent the processing contract of Shenzhou notebook to BYD Electronics and arranged a specific meeting time with Wang Chuanfu. He also entrusted Sun Hongbin, the newly promoted vice president of Qingyun Electronics, executive president of Shenzhou Electronics, and chairman of Yongchuang Group, to go to Pengcheng in advance to start business negotiations with BYD Electronics.
I focused on dealing with the issue of obtaining the qualifications to operate an online ride-hailing service in Shanghai.
Of course, he would not give up his plan to win over Zeng Yumin. He knew nothing about building cars. He could invest money, but finding a professional and knowledgeable technical management boss could save time and avoid detours.
But before that, he needed to collect more information to convince Zeng Yumin that ATL had no intention of compromising...
"Has the negotiation between SAIC and the traffic control department failed?"
In the office, Li Zehua wanted to laugh when listening to Wang Fei's report. It was only half a month away from the opening of the World Expo.
As for the so-called new city, new look and the plan for the Expo image display car have not yet come to a conclusion.
Originally, this plan was just a forced one. SAIC was a bit wishful thinking and was prepared to let Qingyun Group be the scapegoat and order 1,000 vehicles of the new Volkswagen series.
Phaeton, a high-end series developed by Volkswagen Group to compete with Mercedes-Benz S and BMW 7 Series, was ignored as soon as it came out.
From its public launch in 02 to today, 8 years have passed, and public data shows that only about 4 units are limited to the world.
No one knows from which warehouse Volkswagen Group pulled these 1,000 cars out, but they are looking for buyers all over the world. Two models have alarmingly high fuel consumption, and the selling price is not cheap.
I won’t mention the public information, but the price offered to Qingyun Group was more than 60 yuan per unit, and 6 units would be more than million yuan.
As for why they had to find Qingyun Group to take over, there is a lot of inside information about this matter. Li Zehua asked someone to find out, and the feedback he got was very speechless.
To put it simply, a big boss inside the company made a decision on the spur of the moment and was ready to take a big gamble, but he didn't expect that he would not get to eat the meat and ended up throwing the pot away because no one was willing to take over.
This is a dilemma. With such a large amount of money invested in inventory, once there is a backlog, it will affect our image. But at this critical time, who dares to joke about their future?
After much thought, I can only take the route of internal digestion and try to clear it up within a short period of time.
After much deliberation, it just so happened that Qingyun Group was a large and powerful company, so it was picked and reported by certain people. The Magic City government did not consider the monk's face, but the Buddha's face, so it turned the cooperation over, hoping that Qingyun Group could help solve the problem.
It's not that he can't afford 6 million yuan, and the bank offers a low-interest loan. It's hard for Li Zehua to refuse. The money is still valuable, and the other party doesn't let him buy it for free, so he will get extra compensation in private.
For various reasons, other companies found it difficult to obtain subsidies through formal channels, so after much deliberation, only Qingyun Group could handle the issue in a short period of time.
Wang Fei was equally amused and confused. “It seems that the car company is not very willing to come forward to solve the problem. Several times they raised the issue and after communication it seemed promising, but they rejected it themselves.”
"Internal competition is the same no matter where it happens. We finally caught him, so how could we let him get away so easily?
But this is good for us. First of all, this car can perfectly meet the daily car needs of many middle and senior management of the company.
They always drive Mercedes-Benz and Audi, and they are too ostentatious when going out, which has a bad influence. The CEO of a second-tier branch company drives an Audi a6a8. If people who don't know about it get out, they would think that the company is making a lot of money.
Here is some digestible information.
The rest can be used as bargaining chips for obtaining dual certificates for online ride-hailing vehicles. It will be more convincing if SAIC comes forward than if we, the party with direct interests, do so.
After all, the traffic control department also has to meet the urgent needs of the public."
Li Zehua smiled and said, "In fact, it's a good thing that the traffic police are willing to come out for a talk.
How about this, you give that person another call and ask him to change his mindset and go directly to the Shanghai government to exchange interests, and let the government come forward to talk to the traffic police again.
As long as we get the official documents, the group will contact the bank to transfer the money immediately."
Wang Fei couldn't help but sigh, "It's so hard to do something. Just a license for an online car-hailing service in Shanghai costs 600 million yuan. If you do it nationwide, it won't cost more than 10 billion yuan, right?"
"Don't tell me, 10 billion may not be enough."
Li Zehua recalled the development of online ride-hailing in history and couldn't help but sigh, "In short, it is worth paying a certain price for the development of the group's new energy vehicles.
This will prevent the traffic management department from taking advantage of the situation and avoid the possibility of being forced to make further compromises in the future as business volume grows.
This kind of behavior of acting as both a negotiator and an athlete in person is the most troublesome.”
Fortunately, the group can find another way and resolutely prevent this strange phenomenon from happening through interest exchanges at a higher level, because as long as there are interest exchanges with the competent department.
It will be difficult to get rid of it later.
In any case, all regions will develop their own new energy vehicles in the future, and with Qingyun’s layout across the country, they can completely rely on this to achieve checks and balances.
Traffic management is certainly very important in dealing with online ride-hailing platforms, but if it affects the country's grand strategy of promoting new energy, it will be insignificant.
No matter how the former struggles, it has to succumb to the overall pressure. By then, without this hidden danger, the online car-hailing industry will greatly regulate its operations.
"Changes have to happen. We can't afford to offend other departments for now, so let's start from here."
After listening to this, Wang Fei felt something was a little strange, but he couldn't put his finger on it. He could only keep the question to himself and then said, "Chairman, the arrangements for the evening have been prepared."
"Okay, I'll arrange for Mr. Wang to go to the construction site for another inspection, and ask Mr. Sun to check out the previously reserved land and plan out the commercial area."
After Li Zehua finished speaking, he called Gu Shijie over and asked, "How is the progress of the chain supermarket's staff training and projects?"
Gu Shijie felt a headache when he heard this, "I was just about to report to you, but the management generally showed resistance.
While employees actively signed up for quotas, they also discovered some bad problems, such as privately reselling quotas.
"Wait a minute, a supermarket investment quota can be resold?"
Li Zehua was a little speechless. He picked up the phone and was about to call Qin Lang, but after thinking about it, he felt that this matter might be more serious, so he called the Legal Department for consultation...
“Qingyun’s supermarket business is intended to pave the way for its own agricultural strategy, and the key to success lies in self-production and self-sales as well as self-purchase of the industry.
The former bypasses the cumbersome middle layers, reduces product costs, further improves profit margins, and most importantly, can control the source of products and establish a more competitive supply chain.
The latter purchases commercial real estate through its subsidiary Qingyun Real Estate, which not only allows it to enjoy extra profits during the rising land prices, but also saves a lot of costs in future rents and other aspects.
According to our business information survey, Qingyun Group has set very strict rules for supermarket service staff who are currently receiving centralized training, but the salary packages they offer are very high...
A mature, reliable and low-cost supply chain, commercial real estate purchased entirely on its own, and highly-skilled service personnel trained at high salaries, which covers almost all the elements of success...
Therefore, after careful research, the group decided to actively participate in this round of supermarket investment. Whether it is direct contact and negotiation to acquire shares or purchasing employee indicators for investment, there are guarantees. "
The one who snapped up the index was the investment department of Fengyi International, because they were about to sign documents for cooperation with Qingyun Agricultural Services Company, so they were sensitive to information in this regard.
As soon as I checked out Qingyun Group's big move, I immediately became interested. After investigation, I found that this was almost a pure profit-making project. How could I not rush to get involved?
“However, the results of direct contact were not ideal. Qingyun Group had no intention of introducing large-scale strategic investment. Without obtaining understanding, it acquired internal employee indicators.
What if a dispute arises in the future? "
Facing questions from subordinates.
He Xuanli, the general manager in charge of Fengyi International's domestic affairs, smiled contemptuously and made the final decision:
“The head office is already a shareholder of Qingyun Agriculture, holding 20% of the shares.
According to public information, the shareholders of the newly established Qingyun Retail Company include Qingyun Holdings, Chumi, Qingyun Agriculture and Fengniao.
With this relationship, it is just a matter of acquiring some internal employees’ investment targets. Even if disputes arise in the future, they can be resolved within the company.”
It was a nice thought, but he didn't think about it. Li Zehua agreed to Fengyi International's investment because the three major funds in Lijiaopo proposed it, and he had to agree due to other interests.
Now Fengyi International wants to force its way in, and who knows what kind of trouble it will cause... (End of this chapter)
