"Who is it, calling you so late?"
It was the first time that Li Zehua saw a woman who was so grumpy when waking up.
After finally calming her down, I looked at the time and it was already one o'clock in the morning.
The person who called was Fang Guohui, the company's director, and he started with explosive news.
"Mr. Li, I just received an absolutely confidential information that you must be interested in. It's about the two-yuan coupon on the Internet..."
For a moment, Li Zehua lost his composure and wanted to speak directly, "Do you want to send me in?"
After finally calming down, he listened to the noisy sound coming from the phone and frowned, "It's so late, Director Fang is still working on the front line."
As the name suggests, a two-yuan ticket means spending two dollars for a chance to win five million.
If an ordinary person heard this news, they would just treat it as a joke, but he wouldn't, because the person who said this was Fang Guohui, and Fake Medicine Stop was standing behind him.
Familiar memories came to my mind again. After a dazzling operation in history, Fake Medicine Stopped getting the first Internet two-yuan coupon sales license through Lao Xu.
Jack Ma got the second card shortly after, a mysterious figure got the third card, and then Fake Medicine Stop continued to plot the fourth card, and then nothing happened. This game was immediately stopped.
On the surface, it was because the behemoth with annual sales of nearly one trillion yuan, involved in online, offline and charity, shut down its online business to protect the interests of offline physical stores.
Some people also analyzed that it was because the online data could not be summarized in real time, which led to some people winning the prize every time and feeling unhappy.
Some even went so far as to directly start conspiracy theories, saying that several companies that obtained licenses were suspected of enriching themselves on the two-yuan bonds.
There was a lot of debate online about the specific details at the time, but that seemed to be something that happened more than a year or almost two years later. How come it has come out now?
Li Zehua was very confused and couldn't help asking, "Briefly describe the situation and submit a detailed report. Explain all the ins and outs clearly."
In just a moment, I lost all desire to sleep, so I got up, dressed, and went to the balcony to feel the breeze of the upcoming warm summer.
Fang Guohui didn't understand what he meant, and continued: "Okay, Mr. Li, please take some time to take a look at the document sent to you by WeChat Enterprise.
Let me explain it briefly. If we can successfully obtain a license to conduct online sales, and only take 7% of the commission and special commission rewards, the net profit will conservatively be over billion yuan every year.
Not to mention that the cash flow controlled by the company and third-party cooperative institutions can easily cover more areas of investment, and the company only needs to pay a negligible price..."
Finally, he couldn't help but say, "Chairman, if you think this is feasible, it just so happens that the friends who proposed this plan are in Pengcheng right now, why don't you meet them in person?"
"It's too late today. It won't be too late to consider meeting after work. Besides, for such a big matter, we need to wait until the company reaches a consensus."
Li Zehua answered cautiously while reading the documents, "I won't ask who they are specifically. Please entertain them on my behalf..."
I could tell that the other party seemed very regretful.
But after he finished speaking, he still hung up the phone without hesitation, sneered and said: "Finally you can't help but take action, two-yuan Internet coupons? You guys can think of that."
Leaning against the French window on the balcony, looking at the manor villa below, an idea suddenly popped up in my mind, "Was the former owner of this place also involved?"
……
"Why, you're so arrogant, I came here in person and I can't even see anyone?"
The fake drugs were stopped at this time, which was a period of high spirits in life. He was very angry at Li Zehua's disrespectful behavior.
The man wearing the iconic H belt next to him smiled and showed his white teeth, "Don't be angry, Mr. Fake, the owner of Meizhuang said before I came here that this matter must be done.
Since he personally came out to say hello, Mr. Li probably wouldn’t be able to refuse.”
Fake Yaoting's expression finally eased up, and he turned to Fang Guohui and said, "Xiaohui, you don't have much status in the company, and I can't even hire someone if I ask you to."
Fang Guohui did not dare to act recklessly in front of them. He drank a full cup with a smile before speaking, "There is no way. Mr. Li is very powerful and can get US dollars directly from abroad.
As for the domestic asset mortgage, I am said to be responsible for it, but in fact, all the assets Qingyun has put forward are high-quality assets, and any bank can provide loans through formal channels.
If it weren’t for the care of you big brothers, I wouldn’t even be able to get a chance to issue bonds in the financial system.”
He said this with a bitter taste in his mouth.
Because things were completely different from what everyone imagined, when he joined Chimo, a company under Qingyun Group, as a director, the entire Qingyun Group did not show a very strong external relationship network.
At best, Temasek is very optimistic about the future of Tsing Yun Group, but no one expected that this so-called optimism would reach this point.
At that time, Pinduoduo’s valuation was not even 30 billion US dollars, but Temasek stepped in and raised more than one billion US dollars in foreign debt for it in one go. Even if it were not such a big deal to help its own son, right?
Coupled with the later joint bond issuance by Qingyun Investment and Qingyuntongda Group, Fang Guohui became numb.
With so many people behind him, all the forces have racked their brains and spent a huge amount of money and resources to get him to where he is today, but it is not just to help Qingyun.
Just by purchasing the bonds issued in the financial market, you can earn a stable return of 6%. Who are you looking down on?
These people can just get some money to invest, even if it's just short-term financing (bridge financing) between banks and borrowers, and they can get several times the stable return in a year.
Investing money in Qingyun is to allow it to use its capital chain to the fullest, just like what Li Zehua did with Zhaoxu Electronics. It does not require doing anything but waiting for its ascension to the sky and dividing up high-quality assets.
But now, seeing that Qingyun Group was growing like a snowball and there was no evidence to hold them accountable, these people became anxious.
Fake Yaoting did not hesitate to show up in person, trying to set a bigger trap to lure Qingyun Group into it.
“I don’t care about the past, but the first license to sell two-yuan coupons on the Internet must be obtained by Qingyun Group.
I still don't believe that there is anyone in this world who can resist the temptation of over 10 billion in net profits every year.
Xiaohui, don't blame me for not reminding you, this is the best opportunity in your life. As long as he wants to swallow this piece of meat, we will create opportunities for you.
As long as you can successfully ascend to the position of being in charge of this business, it will be easy to make hundreds of millions every year, right?"
Fang Guohui was blinded by the huge benefits and ignored the risks involved. He said in a deep voice: "Please rest assured, President Qiu and President Xu. I will definitely get things done even if I risk my life."
Brother Belt glanced at Fake Medicine Stop, who understood and said after a cough, "With your heart, I believe things will come to a satisfactory conclusion.
It's getting late now, you should go back and have some rest. We'll be waiting for your good news in the morning."
When Fang Guohui saw him ordering them to leave, he quickly stood up, picked up his clothes, and backed out of the private room.
"Well, I told you he was useless. He has been in Qingyun for almost a year and has accomplished nothing."
After he left, Belt shook his head and said, "These people in finance are calculating all day long. They make a lot of suggestions, but they are not good at making decisions."
Fake Medicine Stop laughed and said, "You don't know this, but it's true, you didn't participate in the previous events, so you don't know the cause and effect.
Hey, let’s not talk about this useless thing. Let’s go out today and have fun together. Let’s go first.”
Brother Belt glanced at the girls around him and shook his head, "It's boring to drink here, could you please go somewhere else to relax?"
Fake Yaoting's eyes lit up, and then he thought of something, "This is not Yangcheng, and your beloved team is not here."
Brother Belt laughed and said, "You don't know this. The main team is not here. There are still many potential newcomers here. Lian Gui has used them and they all say they are good."
"Really?"
There was no point in stopping the fake medicine here, so the two brothers put their arms around each other and went out together...
It's true that Brother Belt didn't tell a single lie, because right now his team leader was in a villa area, leading a group of long-legged people in line to welcome him.
When the fake medicine arrived, I saw that they still had obvious tiredness on their faces. It was obvious that they were suddenly woken up from their sleep. I felt so sorry for them, and I couldn't describe how happy I was in my heart.
Back at his own home, Brother Belt revealed his true nature. "As usual, let's have some appetizers to warm our stomachs. One room will do. I'll talk to Mr. Fake."
Fake Medicine Stop did not refuse. Along the way, he noticed that Brother Belt seemed not very satisfied with their arrangement. Sure enough, when they entered the private room, Brother Belt could not wait to speak, "Boss Fake, didn't we agree before that this first two-yuan coupon online sales license would be given to Hengtai?
For this plan, I prepared for two full years in advance, buying a sports team, spending a lot of money, and even vomited no less than ten times just from drinking.
Including Mr. Gui later, the owner of Mei Zhuang has invested a lot of resources, and now he has finally convinced the leaders of Guangdong Province's Two Yuan Voucher Center, including Fuhe Sports.
We were planning to conduct a small-scale pilot project in the name of a third party, but you suddenly came down and asked to transfer the pilot work arrangements to Qingyun, and the distribution of interests involved has to be renegotiated.
I'm afraid that all parties will not be able to accept the hasty changes."
The fake medicine stopped and pillowed one, then reached out to touch the swaying goblin on his body. After he was overtired, he temporarily waved away and said without hesitation: "How much money can you make with a two-yuan coupon?
7 points may seem like a lot, but do you have enough sales channels?
Those people behind the scenes who eat meat without spitting out bones demand dozens or even hundreds of returns every year. If you and I were to do it, we would not be able to make much of a difference even if we ran ourselves ragged.
It’s just a pity that Mr. Xiao Ma, relying on the support of Teochew porridge behind him, has no interest in joining in.
The other Jack Ma does have some interest, but he has a lot of ready-made resources behind him, so it will be difficult for us to take the initiative if we enter the market.
The only solution for now is to find a breakthrough from Mr. Li. The scale of corporate users under his name is extremely large, and they are all high-quality customers with certain spending power.
With him at the front, wouldn't it be nice for us to sit back and reap the benefits?"
Brother Belt certainly knows this truth, but he is more interested in the cash flow brought by the sales of two-yuan coupons on the Internet. If he makes some adjustments, he can make more than hundreds of millions of profits every week.
At the end of the year, billions are easily earned.
Fake Yaoting knew what he was thinking and advised him, "You should take a long-term view and think from another angle. If even you can't resist the temptation, who can resist it?
As long as he is interested in joining the game, and the interests of so many people are involved, he has no choice but to compromise. With hundreds of billions in net profits plus even more shady income, it will not be easy for him to get out.
By then, there will be people watching from above and controlling from below. We can just make some moves to get Fang Guohui to take the position. Aren't we the ones who have the final say on what to do in the future?
Humph, as long as you have these evidences in hand, will you still worry about Hengtai’s financial problems?
Just ask him to come out and say hello, get a joint guarantee, and billions of dollars will come into the account in minutes."
Brother Belt was right in thinking this, he just couldn't let go of the huge immediate benefits, he wanted them all, but his current strength was not enough, so he could only compromise temporarily.
He agreed with her, and finally said, "After the deal is done, Qingyun Real Estate and Properties will be mine, and for the rest, everyone will decide based on their own abilities."
Fake Medicine Stop is not interested in selling the house, but that doesn’t mean he is not interested in money. “We’ll talk about it later. Now is the stage of luring someone into a trap, and the matter has not been completed yet.
Besides, it is meaningless for you and I to argue about this. That is something that the bigwigs should focus on. We just need to do our job well. "
Brother Belt gave up and called the team leader to bring more beauties in...
"Send someone to keep an eye on the downstairs. If Fang Guohui and Chairman Fang come over, notify me immediately."
Early in the morning, Li Zehua went to the office in the Pengcheng branch building. After giving Zhang Tao a casual instruction, he plunged into intense work.
Zeng Yumin is still in Pengcheng. He came here with Wu Kai and is now visiting BYD headquarters to discuss technology research and development directions and exchange experiences.
If Fang Guohui hadn't mentioned the two-yuan note incident, he should have been there too.
Now, he can only stay here and share information with the investors behind him through the Internet.
In the investor WeChat group, Zhang Lei was the most excited one. "Mr. Li, this is a promising business. Apart from anything else, 7% of the sales of the two-yuan coupons per issue is a huge sum of money.
If the group can successfully obtain the license, the overall valuation will definitely soar.”
Others have similar views, and Xu Xin is even more outspoken, "I am willing to exchange the equity of 270 gas stations in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen for a two-yuan coupon operating share.
Mr. Li, you won't refuse, right? With our own energy supply system, the cost savings for the group's transportation business every year is not a small amount. "
"Thank you for your kindness, Sister Xin, but I haven't figured out how to do it yet."
Li Zehua knew this would be the result. After all, for investors, as long as they can make money, they don’t care what means are used. The responsibility lies with the management team anyway.
With tens of billions of net profits involved every year, only a fool would refuse.
For a while, the group was filled with beautiful fantasies of obtaining the right to sell two-yuan coupons.
Even Dong Ge, who usually keeps to himself and doesn't like to talk, couldn't help but come out and express his opinion, "I'm really envious. Under the leadership of Director Li, Qingyun Group is developing better and better.
Now even the good news of selling two-yuan coupons on the Internet has come to me!!!"
At the end, he added three exclamation marks to express his shock.
JD.com’s sales target this year was just over 10 billion yuan, but when they turned around, they saw that the profit of a new business exceeded 10 billion yuan. How could they not be discouraged?
"I declare that you don't need to buy vinegar to eat dumplings this morning. All of it is sponsored by Dong Ge Suanliuliu."
After Li Zehua made a joke, he raised a question in the group, "The key is how can a pie in the sky fall accurately and land on Qingyun Group? Can any professional answer this for me?"
There was a moment of silence, and no one spoke.
Soon after, the phone rang. I picked it up and saw that it was Brother Dong. He has always been an impatient person, just like me.
"Why, you think there's a problem too?"
Sure enough, as soon as the call was connected, the other party asked questions.
Li Zehua was stunned, and recalled something in his memory. Instead of answering, he asked, "Did they look for you too?"
Liu Qiangdong did not hide it from him, "Someone mentioned that they wanted to cooperate with JD.com, and the conditions they offered were extremely high. I also raised the same question at that time.
Such good conditions are hard to find even with a lantern. There are companies in the e-commerce field that have a larger customer base than JD.com.
I was thinking at the time, are they going for customer resources, or do they want to turn the Internet two-yuan coupon into a complete online gambling like those in Europe and the United States?
Although JD.com lacks money for development, it has always been upright and has no need to take crooked paths, let alone something that blatantly touches the bottom line. Once it is involved, the stink will never be washed away in this lifetime. "
“So that’s my answer as well.”
Li Zehua sighed, "These people have gone crazy, they dare to take any money.
One of my directors even dared to contact others privately and come up with a complete cooperation framework without the approval of the board of directors.
Haha, they even arranged the issuance centers of the two-yuan notes in Shanghai, Guangdong Province, and Hubei Province in advance. It seems that as long as I nod, I can eat this piece of cake at any time. "
Liu Qiangdong was stunned. "It seems that they are eyeing Qingyun's user base. You can only wish you good luck. Just look at the faces of the investors in the group and you will understand that they are well prepared this time."
“I’m not worried about this. On the contrary, I have to thank them because this matter is taboo in China, but it may not be the case abroad, especially since the group is worried about the lack of start-up funds in Southeast Asia.
Inside the wall is a taboo, but outside the wall might be the light of hope?"
Li Zehua has always been able to turn funerals into happy events. "With the convenience of the Internet, if we do a good job with a two-yuan bet, it may really become another cash cow for the group in the future."
Liu Qiangdong was impressed by his wild and unconstrained thinking, "You are amazing, you can even think of expanding overseas business.
But first think about how to deal with their prying eyes. The policy that uses so many connections must achieve a certain purpose before it stops. "
"It's not that difficult. Don't be tempted by the benefits. In reality, each family gets a share, and the proceeds are not much. If something goes wrong, you still have to bear all the responsibility."
Li Zehua is full of confidence. "If we continue the discussion, the high investment cost will make the investors calm down and think seriously about the gains and losses. Then we can put forward the overseas expansion plan at the right time to win over those who are wavering.
As long as the basic foundation behind the group is not in trouble, no matter how they force me, I will remain unmoved. " (End of this chapter)
