People are often really different from each other.

For example, Mr. Ning, when the fake medicine was stopped, Brother Dai had 10 billion US dollars in his account (including the original profit), but only more than 4 million was left due to losses, and he is still trying to make a comeback.

Fang Guohui had no way out. The funds in his account were obtained by mortgaging the shares of the agency sales company. He only had temporary control over the money and had to return it to the home appliance company when the time came.

From a profit of 5000 million to a loss of more than 4000 million, his world was falling. He was extremely anxious and his mind was full of extreme thoughts of making a comeback.

Li Zehua is different. He cannot accept a loss of only 500 million US dollars, which is less than a fraction of the profit.

It is true that his psychological quality is too poor.

That morning, he boarded a flight from Shangri-La to Chang'an, and then flew to the capital of the Western Region Province via Chang'an. People who didn't know the situation thought that he was planning to go through the northwest and go bankrupt and flee abroad.

The money for the plane tickets was cheated from Gu Shijie, who was so angry that he cried in his circle of friends and denounced this shameful exploitation.

It's no wonder that the news seemed to have grown wings and could fly. It soon spread all over the country, triggering a spiritual resonance among countless migrant workers, who all took out their keyboards.
It quickly sparked heated discussions on the Internet, and even made WeChat Technology a little popular...

"Boss Xia, this is bad. I took Pin Xixi's acceptance bill to the bank to exchange it, but the bank staff said there was no money in the account and they couldn't cash it out."

"How is that possible? Have you figured it out?"

Xia Jiyan, the CEO of a home appliance company in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, is meeting with raw material suppliers to discuss cooperation in his office. Because of Pinxixi's June promotion month, the number of orders has skyrocketed.

In order to deliver goods in time, the company not only arranged three shifts and worked overtime to catch up with the work, but also found raw material suppliers to sign more advantageous long-term supply agreements, preparing to expand production capacity to cooperate with Pinxixi.

But now that the contract has been signed, the company’s finance department told him that they cannot pay because the money has not arrived?
The finance department on the other end of the phone was extremely anxious. "Mr. Xia, it's absolutely true. That's what the bank said. There's not a penny in the sales proceeds account right now."

Xia Jiyan was almost going crazy. He forced a smile for his business partner, found an excuse to leave the office, and said impatiently, "Then call and ask!

Could it be that the system displayed an error, or that the balance in Pinxixi's account was insufficient and the bank payment could not be deducted?"

On second thought, that’s not right!

Pinxixi has always had a good reputation in the industry, especially its parent company, Qingyun Group, which is a leading private enterprise in East China and a giant enterprise spanning multiple major industries.

This can be seen from the acceptance bills issued by Pinxixi. The bank only charges a 1% handling fee for discounting, and the money is disbursed on the same day after the bill is verified to be correct. Other companies charge at least 3% and it takes several days to get the loan.

The finance department was about to cry, "We are entrusting the bank to investigate, but I just received news that the circle is going crazy, saying that Qingyun Group has suffered huge losses in overseas financial speculation.

Some say it was more than a billion dollars, others say it was several billion dollars, and even the boss ran away with the money overnight.”

Xia Jiyan was confused, "Is this true?"

But as several corporate WeChat screenshots were sent over, the truth came to light, including specific position reports (a small part of which was made public for fishing purposes) and details of the huge losses on delivery orders.

There are also screenshots of the Moments of Qingyun Group’s director, senior executive vice president and group chief human resources officer, and president of the human resources department, Gu Shijie, accusing the unscrupulous boss.

Although the amount involved is not large, just the price of an air ticket, the destination is very sensitive, Chang'an?
That is the transportation hub for flights to Central Asia and Europe. Is this guy really planning to run away?
Thinking of this, Xia Jiyan suddenly became anxious, "Hurry up and urge the bank to exchange this acceptance bill today. If something goes wrong, the factory will be finished."

After hanging up the phone, Xia Jiyan was more anxious than an ant on a hot pan. He felt like he was already in a frying pan.

“Damn, I forgot that we just signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Pinxixi at the beginning of the month, and now the warehouse is full of raw materials, semi-finished products and finished products waiting to be shipped.

I originally thought that with Pinduoduo's timely payment support, I even borrowed more than 10 million yuan from the private sector to expand my business.

We also followed their requirements to conduct joint technology research and development, such as control chips and smart home appliance projects. Now the contract has been signed and the deposit has been paid, but Pinxixi is gone. What should we do?"

The thought of not getting the money and losing the largest sales channel will inevitably lead to unsalable goods, tight capital chain until it breaks, bankruptcy and liquidation, and finally heavy debts.

Xia Jiyan shuddered, "Fuck Pin Xixi, you've caused me so much trouble~!"

……

The share of cooperation between Pinduoduo and second- and third-tier home appliance companies has been increasing, especially in urban areas, because Pinduoduo cannot obtain the supply of brand goods due to the regional supply control policies of first-tier manufacturers.

No one can change this. It is impossible for large manufacturers to hand over all sales channels to Qingyun. The so-called smart home appliance plan promoted by the latter attempts to add control chips through QR codes.

The online and offline interoperability of Internet hardware and software has not received support from first-tier manufacturers. Even the six major manufacturers of the Semiconductor Display Industry Alliance have not agreed.

Even if electronic intelligence can be achieved through remote control and bring many extra conveniences to consumers, it will be useless because every large company has its own core interests.

Binding with Qingyun WeChat technology, using the one-card system as the unified background software technology standard for each company, and realizing remote control through the convenient WiFi function will certainly greatly enhance the technological sense of the product.

However, the number of people using WeChat Technology is currently not large enough. Everyone can see Qingyun’s wishful thinking, which is nothing more than taking advantage of the scale advantage of common household appliances and home products in daily life.

After being linked to WeChat technology in disguise, consumers are left with no second choice and are forced to become its loyal customers.

But doing so is not good for manufacturers. There is a set of standard templates for product design and manufacturing. If major adjustments are made rashly, not only will the manufacturing costs increase, but it will also be a boon to Qingyun.

What's more, manufacturers are not stupid. This piece of cake can be used for additional business layout. Even if they do not take the opportunity to get involved in the Internet industry, they can still earn excess profits through business bidding.

Think about it, when the weather is hot, you rush home sweating and turn on the air conditioner, and you still need to wait for the cooled air to fill the room little by little before you can enjoy the coolness.

There is an air conditioner equipped with a remote control chip, which can be operated in real time through a smartphone. It can be turned on in advance five minutes away from home, so that you can enjoy the comfort brought by technology as soon as you get home.

For example, when you go out, you forget to turn off the lights, microwave oven, and induction cooker, throw dirty clothes into the washing machine and forget to wash them, or even forget to close the door. All these troubles will be solved after installing the control chip.

When everything can be remotely controlled with just a smartphone, what kind of industrial changes will it bring to the entire home appliance and home furnishing industry?
This is the hardware package that QingCloud has prepared to promote WeChat technology. In terms of software, the entire QingCloud package will take WeChat technology and micropayment as the absolute software core.

Establish an Internet ecological chain that integrates unified account login, function usage, and convenient service.

These are the unique core competitive advantages of WeChat Technology. While competitors are still focusing on exploring the potential of the product itself, QingCloud has already established a complete business ecosystem for it.

When consumers are accustomed to ordering takeout, sending and receiving express deliveries, using shared bicycles, sharing power banks, taking online taxis, and having various needs such as moving, shipping and logistics, they all use WeChat Technology Card.

Then use the smart card to scan the smart home QR code to complete the binding, use the mobile phone to log in to the account for remote operation, and use WeChat and micropayment to pay online and offline.

Pay water and electricity bills, phone bills, repay credit cards, conduct small loan turnover, and even after the establishment of the offline micropayment promotion network, a mobile phone can be used everywhere.

Later, Li Zehua even planned to use mobile phones to replace car keys, door lock keys, TV remote controls, air conditioners and all other product industries that require controllers.

It will meet everyone's daily life, work, and travel needs. At this point, WeChat and micropayments have a profound control and influence on everyone, becoming an inseparable core of human social life and production.

It is no exaggeration to say that before the emergence of virtual technology, Qingyun Group, which relies on this ecological chain, will become the most basic Internet water and electricity in the world.

Even the air and the sunshine are everywhere and no one can live without them!
In terms of software, the group has begun to integrate resources to become independent.

But in terms of hardware, apart from smartphones, drones, new energy vehicles, electric two-wheelers, and shared electric motorcycles, other aspects are still far behind.

The group did not have enough funds and resources to buy out first-tier manufacturers, so he had to settle for the next best thing. As early as half a year ago, he had secretly planned and prepared to find another way to break through.

Second- and third-tier manufacturers accumulate over time, and if we can successfully acquire them and acquire a controlling stake, we can integrate the resources of manufacturers in the same industry into one, forming a form of technology sharing and centralized procurement and sales.

It will definitely reduce costs significantly.

In the home appliance, furniture and home furnishing industry, the technological gap between everyone is actually not that big. It mainly depends on the scale of capital and industry, and who can lower the cost and improve the sales channels and after-sales service.

Whoever invests money in advertising and brand image maintenance will gain a competitive advantage.

Sales channels, Pinduoduo experience stores and Pinduoduo local life service companies have established a complete network in towns and cities, with hundreds of thousands of sales staff on standby at any time. With the scale of the industry, many second-tier manufacturers have merged their operations, centralized procurement of raw materials, and unified training of employees to improve professional quality and reduce costs.

As for after-sales and user experience?
It is no exaggeration to say that no manufacturer in the country dares to compete with Qingyun Group in terms of number of employees. Currently, the number of full-time, part-time, and commission-based cooperating employees under the group is more than one million.
In two years, it will be impossible to stop it.

Without anyone, what’s the point of talking about service and after-sales?

Now, with the profits from gold futures and potential future profits, the group has no shortage of money. It only lacks time to accumulate and to promote and build its brand image.

Therefore, Fang Guohui was able to poach employees from the company so smoothly because, to put it bluntly, Li condoned and acquiesced in it.

Without this agency sales company standing between Pinxixi and second- and third-tier manufacturers, how can the group complete its business layout?

Going door to door to discuss cooperation and investment will not only waste money, but will also arouse the vigilance and counterattack of major manufacturers, such as collective supply cuts.

I supplied you with home appliances and helped Pinxixi build a nationwide sales network, but you secretly cooperated with my competitors, ready to replace me at any time?

There is no such good thing. Li Zehua dares to guarantee that as long as he controls a few home appliance companies, the rest will turn against each other and join forces to deal with him.

So, he needs a suitable opportunity.

By taking advantage of a special node, all second- and third-tier manufacturers cooperating with Pinxixi can be captured in one fell swoop. Even if it is not possible to acquire them in full, controlling rights must be obtained.

Only in this way can we continue to invest money, start researching and developing and producing home appliances and home products equipped with smart chips in full accordance with our own ideas, and work hard to establish a complete ecological chain.

To Fang Guohui, this was an open conspiracy. His greed made him jump in without thinking and passively act as a tool.

The sales agency company takes advantage of the time difference in acceptance bills and promises to advance 1% of the discount fee to obtain a funding window of 15-30 days.

That is, there is money in the Pinxixi account, but a 30-90 day draft is opened to use the idle funds in the account to earn extra interest and loan quotas, and more products can be ordered in advance and checked out after they are sold out.

This is to take advantage of the strong dominant position in market sales and play unequal trade. Manufacturers must compromise in order to pursue a larger sales share.

In fact, they did not suffer any loss, because cooperation with Pinxixi did bring excess profits. The only difference was that the payment period was longer, but it was still profitable.

For Fang Guohui and those behind him, commercial bills of 30-90 days are also profitable.

Dozens of second- and third-tier manufacturers supply Pinxixi with goods worth tens of billions every month. With such a huge amount of money passing through sales agents, it is extremely profitable to play the game of making money from money.

In the past, financing from banks or social sources had relatively high interest rates and was unstable. Since the establishment of this company, the company has had an operating turnover of over ten billion yuan per month.

Relying on the network of relationships behind Fang Guohui, he can act as a bridge and make a full turn in three to five days, or do short-term lending between state-owned enterprises, large private enterprises and even financial institutions.

Earn huge amounts of commission and interest income.

The most important thing is that the cash flow is getting bigger and bigger. In the eyes of financial institutions, this is a double guarantee of strength and credibility.

Through this transaction model, manufacturing companies also get what they want. First, the payment period is shortened by more than half, and they can get cash earlier to expand operations and reduce capital chain risks.

The 1% discount handling fee is borne by the sales agency, which increases the company's profits in disguise. You should know that the manufacturing industry usually only has a net profit of 5-10 points, and the money earned is hard-earned money from sales.

For example, Xia Jiyan’s company supplies 100 to million goods to Pinxixi every month, but its net profit is only more than million.

If there is no sales agent company, you will have to pay an additional 20 yuan in acceptance and discount fees to get the money as soon as possible.

The most crucial thing is that the actual controller of a manufacturing enterprise can adjust the unit price of sales proceeds and play yin-yang contracts with the sales agency company to intercept the profits that should belong to the enterprise.

This is the most important reason for promoting cooperation. Which boss doesn’t want to put more money in his own pocket?
There are too many examples in society of people doing business together and harming their partners. It is said that they can earn more by losing their conscience.

Fang Guohui made a lot of money from the price difference here. The biggest share went to the people behind him, but the remaining money was enough for him to eat his fill.

Originally, they could have continued playing like this for at least two years, until a supercar appeared speeding in the middle of the night, and then Li Zehua would naturally settle the score with them.

Spit out all the food you've eaten over the years, and get some leverage over the actual controllers of second- and third-tier manufacturers. Here's all the evidence of how you've transferred profits over the years.

If it were to be exposed, it would be strange if those whose interests were damaged did not fight desperately.

Obedient business leaders will take advantage of the opportunity to successfully acquire shares and take control, becoming an important part of the group's strategy.

If those are disobedient, we will send them to jail with these evidences, pick out an obedient one from among the shareholders and partners, and then have them acquire controlling shares. Anyway, the result will not change.

However, the fake drugs came to the door in advance, and they kept saying that they would use their connections as a bargaining chip to protect the company, and then they easily threw away a two-yuan Internet coupon for the sales rights in exchange for a 5-10% stake in Qingyun Holdings.

Fake partnership and real merger is the purpose of this gang!

If anyone is to blame, blame Li Zehua himself. He believes in being low-key in life and high-profile in work, and publicly promotes the advantages of building an ecological industrial chain. Now, he has been targeted by the god of the PPT industrial chain.

Fake Medicine Stop and the people behind him decided to build their own ecological chain, which would be time-consuming and laborious and might not succeed. It would be better to just take over Qingyun and reap the benefits.

Li Zehua was angry. Are you treating me like a soft persimmon?
In response, they took "ruthless action" against Fang Guohui, luring foreign capital to investigate the acquisition of the group buying website, and sent people to investigate the sales agency company.

The fake drugs can be stopped but the situation remains stable. The people behind him are not panicked at all. It is impossible to touch them with just this means, because it is Fang Guohui who takes care of everything. The most that can be done is to put him in jail.

Unfortunately, the incident happened suddenly, and it is difficult to transfer the principal without anyone noticing.

At this time, Li Zehua had two choices. One was to stop there, take back the principal and send Fang Guohui in, and pretend that nothing else happened.

But if his strategy for smart home appliances would fail prematurely, how could he be willing to let the culprit behind the scenes go?

So Fang Guohui, who was desperate, got the data of the investment fund by chance. In order to prove his own value, he went all out.

By short-term mortgaging the agency's equity and intercepting suppliers' acceptance bills, he obtained a large amount of funds for investment in the gold futures market.

Now everything is stuck, with over 100 million US dollars going from a profit of 50 million to a loss of 40 million. I am heartbroken and am thinking of increasing leverage to turn things around.

This proposal was supported by Fake Medicine Stop and Brother Belt, because the source of their funds is very complicated, and if they don't return, many people will die~
By the way, more than 30 second- and third-tier manufacturers were also severely trapped.

Don't underestimate the 300 to 400 million yuan of capital each company has. For second- and third-tier manufacturers, it is normal to have an annual output value of 20 to 30 billion yuan, but it is unknown whether the net profit can reach 100 million yuan.

In addition, Pinduoduo has recently encouraged them to upgrade and adjust their production lines, and invested heavily in the research and development of smart home appliance technology and trial production. As a result, several companies may go bankrupt.

In short, it’s not that Pinxixi didn’t pay, but the funds from the acceptance bill were misappropriated by Fang Guohui to speculate in gold. Now the funds are being held, and it would be a miracle if he could get the money back…

"Chairman, you finally answered the phone. Don't go to the Western Regions. Come back soon. There's a big commotion outside."

Gu Shijie breathed a sigh of relief and finally got through to his boss. He didn't bother to be polite and said in one breath, "We played too big this time and everyone was alarmed.

While you are on the plane, the Five Military Governor's Office and the Magic City Yamen have come to your door, and people are still waiting for the result in the reception room.

Almost all of our business partners are frantically asking for details.”

"Why panic? I can solve the problem by making a few phone calls."

Li Zehua calmly gave a few instructions and hung up the phone.

Then he smiled bitterly at the governor of Qin Province who had hurried over, and said, "Shuji, how can I be worthy of your personal presence on the plane to greet you?" (End of this chapter)
