"From today until the end of the year, the primary task of Qingyun Big Data Center is to improve and promote the One Card System. Ye Feng, you will be responsible for completing this.

In the initial stage, micropayment will be the main focus, and in the later stage, we will strive to combine WeChat and micropayment. In short, the WeChat backend must be seamlessly connected to micropayment.

However, micropayments also need a dedicated app, similar to Alipay Insurance, to be built into a separate platform to carry out the promotion of insurance funds and arrange for the entry of platforms such as food delivery, express delivery, and e-commerce.

In addition to using WeChat and micropayment accounts for backend login for internal company software, Qingyun Electronics must also actively follow up after the unified Qingyun App Store is completed.

We need to negotiate with every app supplier about a unified backend. Qingyun series phones will no longer be allowed to download without going through the app store, but will have to join the app store.

It is necessary to log in with WeChat micropayment account first, and develop software compatible with the Roewe mobile phone system derived from Android...

Zhou Anquan is in charge of the technology of WeChat Technology and is also the vice president of technology. Feng Mingcheng is the vice president of technology for micropayment, and he will fully assist Ye Feng in completing the integration of the one-card system.

As he spoke, Li Zehua looked at Wu Yibin again, "Old Wu, you are still responsible for the recent contacts with the three major operators."

"It's difficult. China Mobile has been unwilling to compromise with Fetion and even wants to charge WeChat internal voice and video fees in addition to traffic revenue, charging on a per-use basis."

Wu Yibin gets a headache when he mentions this, "China Unicom is determined to acquire a stake, and I don't even want to negotiate the price they offered.

Telecom is even more outrageous. They plan to make a similar app themselves and are looking for a technical team everywhere, preparing to promote it themselves after outsourcing the development.

The only thing the three companies have in common is that they are lowering prices and setting up more entry barriers for traffic usage. This does not seem like individual actions but more like a unified order from above.

Although they didn’t say it explicitly, their intention was clear: they didn’t seem to be happy with us investing too much in 3G phones.”

"Is that a problem we can solve? At the just concluded global 4G application standards conference, the group roped in Qualcomm and AMD to support domestic standards and locked in orders for chips supporting 4G in advance.

In short, let’s continue the discussion. The group’s bottom line cannot change. I believe that with the launch of the Roewe series and the growing user base, the three major operators will change their minds.

As for the technology."

Li Zehua frowned and said, "As a private enterprise, in addition to continuing to invest in research and development to improve 4G standard technology, we will also form a technology industry alliance to share the benefits.

Apart from this, there is not much we can do. Even the research and development of the Hongmeng mobile phone system is led by Industry and Information Technology, the State Commission of Industry and Science and Technology, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

In short, we can invest money in recent years, but it is not advisable to stand in front of the stage and openly lead technological development and engage in tit-for-tat competition with the West. Our strength does not allow us to do so.

In addition, since 361 has come to us, why not let Shenzhou Electronics come forward and bring it in to jointly develop a computer operating system. I remember that there is a mature military system within the Five Military Commandery.

If we can join the joint research and find a way to circumvent Microsoft's technical patent restrictions, and bring ZTE and Huaban in in the future, we may be able to achieve certain technological breakthroughs."

When it comes to layout and planning, we always set the goal first and then improve it bit by bit. Our contact with Huaban has been continuing, and the latter is also an important player in the smartphone market.

However, Huaban refused to invest and disagreed to technology sharing. Qingyun had to settle for the second best and turn its attention to Zhongxing Datang, and actively seek opportunities to acquire a controlling stake.

"4G is the key to the group's development of Douyin interactive entertainment and its influence on global public opinion. Currently, there are not many mainstream standards in the world. As long as we continue to invest in it and come up with some core patents.

You won’t be afraid of being strangled in the future.

As for 5G and the more distant 6G, the group must also work harder. These are core technologies involving intelligent manufacturing, future drones, unmanned driving, and high-precision processing equipment operations.

They all cannot do without 5G networks. If Huaban doesn’t allow them to invest, then they should find a way to acquire ZTE Datang.”

After setting the tone, the rest of the things became much easier. We then discussed the tasks for each company to promote the installation volume of Roewe phones and WeChat software and the number of active customers.

……

Just as Qingyun was busy arranging the promotion of WeChat, the dispute between Tengda and 361 intensified, and the two sides almost reached the stage of fighting.

For Tenda, its core competitiveness lies in its user scale and the high-quality traffic it provides, as the first generation of young people (mainly students) who used QQ grow up and enter society.

The commercial value of QQ has been fully developed and utilized, and game monetization and advertising traffic revenue have supported Tencent's huge market value of over HK$3000 billion during this period.

Tony Ma has already tasted the sweetness of traffic, so it will naturally not allow a second company to try to grow and develop through this path, even 361's free antivirus software track.

Although its value in terms of traffic monetization is very low, its huge user base is still a thorn in Tenda's side.

QQ Doctor came into being in this environment. As early as the Chinese New Year in January, QQ Doctor launched a brief raid, preparing to catch 361 off guard.

However, Internet companies at that time generally had no technology to speak of. Even a strong company like Tenda could only barely get by and compete with 361, which specializes in antivirus software development.

They are not on the same technical level at all, especially Tenda, which still holds the arrogance that owning users means owning everything, and thinks that 361 will be as vulnerable as its previous competitors.

The result was a slap in the face.

361 not only withstood Tenda's attack, but also launched a counterattack, beating the fledgling QQ Doctor badly. Most of its users who relied on traffic ran away in an instant.

Seeing how powerful 361 is, those Internet companies that were once bullied by Tencent relying on its traffic advantage jumped out to show their support.

For a time, the momentum was huge, and supporters of both sides argued endlessly on major Internet platforms. It then evolved into a larger-scale public opinion war, and even the official media rarely got involved.

For example, Computer News published an article directly stating that the existence of Tenda is hindering and stifling Internet innovation, and listed one by one the companies that have been killed by Tenda's traffic over the years.

Even Wang Xing's Hainei.com was not spared, and some people with bad intentions contacted Wang Xing himself as soon as possible, wanting to ask the opinion of this core management of the Qingyun Group.

What can Wang Xing do?
He also wanted to curse loudly, but the group issued a gag order. Everything had to give way to the overall promotion of WeChat. He could only keep his true thoughts in his heart and say some general opinions in a bland way.

At this point, Tenda was in a difficult situation. On the one hand, it arranged for people to fight back on the Internet and whitewash itself on a large scale.

On the one hand, it waved its money around and acquired antivirus software companies with technical strength, hoping to use the power gained from the acquisition to suppress 361.

But Zhou Hongyi started out as a rogue software developer, and without any skills, he was eliminated in the wild days of the domestic Internet. Now he has a group of technical experts under him, and even Yahoo is quite interested in him.

How could a person who could make Jack Ma jump up and down and curse at Ahri when she heard that he had led the team to run away be incompetent?

As a result, Tenda, which had seized the initiative and had huge advantages in terms of capital and user scale, was defeated by 361's counterattack.

The entire network is waiting to watch the fun.

Even if Zhou Hongyi did not go to Qiantang to find Jack Ma to reconcile, and did not get Ali's super order, he even turned around and cooperated with Qingyun to open a sub-channel specifically to attract traffic to Pinxixi.

Jack Ma was not angry. He was busy recuperating. The loss of 10 billion yuan in cotton futures was a huge blow to him and he was very sad.

With a bunch of old friends running away or dying, and a large number being arrested, he has become much more honest and low-key. He is now busy discussing with investors how to improve his network of relationships.

However, Sina, one of the three major portals, chose to actively join the battlefield because of the competition with Tenda News and Tenda Weibo, and helped 361 to regain a point in public opinion.

Aunt Wang also favors 361 because of the dispute with Tenda over games. As for Sohu, it strictly maintains neutrality. It competes with 361 because of Sogou Browser and Sogou Input Method business.

It should have drawn a clear line with 361, but Qingyun Group and Sohu jointly hold shares in Sogou. Qingyun did not make any statement, and Sohu also did not make any statement after consulting its allies.

The remaining big player, Baidu, is very interesting. Li Yanhong has just lost more than 4 million in cotton futures, and he has an irreconcilable hatred with Qingyun.

It just so happens that Qingyun is Qiandu's largest partner in advertising business. At that time, hospital department contracting had not yet become mainstream, and the scale of cooperation between Putian Gang and Qiandu in search business was not large. Under the premise that traffic was relatively surplus and Qiandu did not have game business as an additional consumption, Qingyun came forward to make an implicit greeting, and Qiandu naturally could not do as it did in the past.

Jump out directly to express support for Tenda.

In short, with the variable of Qingyun, Tengda is under greater pressure from public opinion. Faced with accusations from all sides, there is a possibility that its management will explode prematurely.

Whether or not they will resort to more drastic measures than in history, outsiders do not know, but various signs indicate that things are gradually spiraling out of control...

"Well, before Tengda and 361 got out of control, these futures traders exploded ahead of time. It seems that their company was also bombed once in their previous life, but I forgot what happened."

Li Zehua looked at the breaking news helplessly, "The futures market is a zero-sum game. If someone wins, someone loses. We are all adults. We can't afford to lose, right?"

On the Internet current affairs news, there was a sudden incident in the business department of a futures company in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The specific casualties were unknown, but the two instigators were firmly identified.

He used his own life to teach all the futures traders in the country a bloody lesson.

Futures are risky, so be cautious when investing.

"No, who the hell wrote this article that doesn't focus on the risks of futures speculation but instead attempts to target Qingyun who made money in the cotton market?"

Seeing the end of the news, Li Zehua frowned, "... Tens of billions of profits, every penny is stained with the blood of countless people. Every step forward by the so-called financial tycoon will reap the lives of innocent people~
According to statistics, since October 10, more than 11 people across the country have ended their young lives through various means. They were all involved in this brutal financial harvesting war.

Being robbed of every last penny left, I ended up being heavily in debt and losing hope of living...

Finally, we can't help but ask, when will the chaos of financial speculation end? The main players, relying on their financial and information advantages, are unscrupulously harvesting ordinary investors...

As a result, financial crises occurred in many places along the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and countless ordinary people lost their fortunes overnight, many of whom did not participate in any investment activities at all.

However, they were forced to become the receivers of the evil consequences of financial speculation. The wealth accumulated by countless people with hard work for a lifetime was instantly wiped out. What's worse, they had to pay for the affected textile industry...

Once capital is allowed to develop recklessly, more and more industries will suffer from the cold winter. We hope that the upper echelons can pay more attention to it and stop the disorderly expansion of capital...

Damn it, it's as if I was forcing these people to trade futures with a knife. The chaos in private lending is the root cause of these people's bankruptcy.

As for the textile industry, without me, it would have started to close down and lay off employees on a large scale. It seems that anything that does not conform to the expansion of Squid Capital is disorderly, and anything that does not conform to their interests is chaos.

Everything, the only thing missing was my name being cursed."

He couldn't stand it anymore, so he picked up the phone and called Wu Yibin, "Old Wu, take a look at the latest financial news on the portal website. These people are trying to stigmatize us."

Wu Yibin was very efficient and handled the matter quickly. He came over in person to report on the situation. "It looks like an organized action. I have already informed all the major media outlets.

They all promised not to publish the original article, but at a time when the group is about to acquire a stake in Minsheng Group and integrate the textile industry, these news appeared inexplicably, and the ambitions of those behind it are obvious. "

"They are just some clowns. The people behind them are the real problem."

Li Zehua thought for a moment, "Do you think it's the Federation of Industry and Commerce or the four major grain merchants who are unwilling to accept defeat and are planning to make a comeback?"

"All of them."

Wu Yibin is not sure, “Or, the two groups have shown signs of merging ahead of time. In the long run, it is more important to integrate the textile industry with the support of this stable industry.

The group will be able to gain a firm foothold because it involves the employment of tens of millions of people in the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain and a market worth trillions of dollars. The intervention of the group is equivalent to destroying the trump card of the four major grain traders.

The four major grain traders have further lost their bargaining chips in food security due to Qingyun Agriculture's expansion in Africa and South America. This is an unacceptable situation for them.

They will definitely try every possible way to interrupt this rhythm, and even join forces with the host country to use unconventional means to curb the development of Qingyun Agriculture."

At this point, Wu Yibin couldn't help but want to give his boss a thumbs up because he chose to cooperate with the Samba Country, Southeast Asian countries, and certain countries in Africa and Asia.

The conditions offered were very generous, and they gave the countries they were in a position to refuse conditions, such as providing the Samba country with export grain rebates and restoring damaged rainforest vegetation.

They also buy up large amounts of government bonds in other countries internationally, helping them to obtain more US dollars through international trade, stabilizing the domestic economy and employment, and in disguise providing benefits to those in power.

Qingyun is willing to spend money in public, not to mention in private. The group often jointly holds company shares in a third country with certain local people, perfectly avoiding supervision from its own country.

As for the middle layer, by winning over local powerful groups, the two sides have achieved cooperation in multiple fields beyond agricultural production, such as electronic product sales, food delivery, express delivery and e-commerce.

On the downward side, they completely ignore the work efficiency of the local grassroots, and even if it means hiring a group of idle people, they must establish a broad influence so that only the local people can get tangible benefits.

Only in difficult times will they choose to support the group.

The three-pronged approach helped the group overcome one difficulty after another.

It seems that in this process, the group has paid the most and gained the least, but its advantage is stability. There is no need to consider policy risks. It will not be too late to reap the benefits after losing money for a few years and gaining a firm foothold.

“It’s obvious that the four major grain traders controlled by Squid Capital are no longer able to restrict the group’s development in terms of key raw materials, so they can only find ways to create obstacles in the sales market and production links.

The sales market has too large an impact, and it is difficult to achieve unified coordination in the current environment of economic globalization, so the stigmatization is hoped to mobilize the forces supported by the University of Tokyo to stop it.

If the group does not have pricing power in the textile industry, it will not be able to control the industry through economic means.”

Facing Wu Yibin's analysis, Li Zehua nodded and said, "It's really hard to predict the world. A few days ago, we were still worried about not being able to purchase enough cotton, but now we have to find channels for excess production capacity.

Fortunately, the higher-ups are now holding a cautious supportive attitude. People from both Western Region Province and Shandong Province have come forward, wanting to bring the group together to set up a company that specializes in cultivating high-quality cotton.

I am considering it, and as long as I can get the day-to-day management rights and avoid too much interference, I will approve this cooperation. "

Planting cotton can also be considered a model of poverty alleviation work. It is not realistic to implement large-scale mechanized planting and production in China, so this link can accommodate more labor.

Wu Yibin did not give his opinion, but changed the subject and asked, "What about the position of the Federation of Industry and Commerce?"

"Humph, what else can I say? They've resorted to such tactics. I'm afraid it'll be hard to pass the election this year.

I don’t know who made this rule, but if you are not an executive committee member or even a national vice president, you cannot be elected as the vice chairman or director of the People’s Livelihood Department.

I think Dong Wenbiao also has this intention. He wants to use Qingyun's controlling stake to further control the Minsheng Group, but he also wants to get rid of Qingyun's influence and control.

Those people also wanted to prevent me from taking charge of the Minsheng Department so that they could continue to control this company and make it everyone's common money bag, making it easier to make money.

What a good plan. By then, Qingyun will be the major shareholder but will not be able to participate in management. When they make a mess of things, we will be the ones to take the blame.

Unfortunately, my plan was too good to be true. Don’t forget that the Qingyun Group has extensive allies in the manufacturing sector and has the tacit approval of the upper echelons. Do you want to block me from entering the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce?

It’s just wishful thinking.”

Li Zehua firmly grasped the core of the contradiction, showing no fear at all, "You want to make me back down by stigmatizing me? I won't do that. Not only will I successfully take charge of the People's Livelihood Department, but I will also completely cut off their tentacles.

It’s just two-thirds of the voting rights. Wait and see what I will do next!” (End of this chapter)
