"Hey, there is such a good thing?"
Good fortune may come to you while you are at home. Li Zehua did not expect that such a large company as United Communications and the powerful network of contacts behind Dingguo Insurance would fall apart so easily.
When the two brothers Wu Xiaohui and Wu Xiaoqi came to visit him, he just treated it as a fun meeting, but he didn't expect that the other party would take out a gift package of peace as soon as they met.
"Help Qingyun Great Eastern Insurance obtain a full insurance industry license? Also agree to let SAIC transfer internal combustion engine technology and help Qingyun Power Technology obtain the highest subsidy for new energy vehicles?"
"Yes, Mr. Li, we two brothers have learned from our mistakes and feel that it is easy to make enemies but difficult to resolve them. We didn't have any conflicts in the first place, but Mr. Xiao Lu was just too impatient.
For the sake of a little profit, I would have unnecessary conflicts with you. In business, the key is to make money in harmony. There is no need to be confrontational.
Besides, we are all trying to make a living in Shanghai. I'm sure you know the relationship between Mr. Yu and my uncle. If necessary, I can ask him to come forward.
I am here to mediate the conflict between our two families. We should keep out of each other's way and just treat it as a friendship. What do you think?"
No matter how reluctant Wu Xiaohui was, he had to keep his brother's position. The identity of President of United Communications Investment Holding was the basis for ensuring that Dingguo Insurance received a steady stream of financing.
If he loses the protection of this identity, his wife's family may not look down on him. The two families originally exchanged interests and complemented each other's resources. In his current position, he earns billions for his descendants every year.
He also made several hundred million by the way. He tried his best to climb up the ladder, even going through three ins and outs, bearing the infamy of being the modern-day Chen Shimei. What was he asking for?
It’s all about making money.
Li Zehua was not fond of him, but he had to respect Tianzun's former reputation. Who of those on the stage now did not benefit from his grace?
If he is really irritated, even the owner of Meizhuang, Xuantian Yipianyun, will have to give him face if he speaks up for him. Who does he think he is and dares to block someone else's path to wealth?
Fortunately, the losses of Dingguo Insurance do not need to be charged to the other party, so there is still room for maneuver.
After figuring out the whole story, he forced a smile and said, "Okay, okay, since Director Wu has shown his sincerity, I am not an ignorant person.
The previous misunderstanding has been wiped out in one stroke, but Mr. Wu asked me to help with another loan, which I am afraid I cannot do.
You two know very well that the higher-ups are conducting a strict investigation into related loans and looking for hidden dangers. At this critical moment, I dare not risk the world's condemnation and be the first to speak out.
Those who know me say I am a righteous person, while those who don’t know me think I am going to take the lead and go against the policy. They even forget to forgive me. There is really nothing I can do to help.”
"Are you kidding me? Everyone knows that you just used your own resources to endorse JD.com and successfully borrowed 20 billion from ICBC Yanjing Bank.
Come to us, please help us to say hello, it's not much, just 50 billion!"
Wu Xiaoqi’s purpose of coming here was almost not achieved. Even if he succeeded in regaining cooperation with United Communications Group, who would compensate for the losses caused?
After returning, will Chairman Chang let him go?
Do you really not take your leader’s face seriously?
He was forced into a corner and immediately turned hostile, "Mr. Li, don't be so arrogant. It's just that when the good times come, you can get some sunshine and be glorious. After this storm, you're nothing without the care from above."
He couldn't help but be anxious. Although there were many banks in the market and many financial institutions that could provide financing and lending, each of them had its own territory.
It is just like before Dingguo could only get money through Minsheng Bank, China Merchants Bank and Qiantang Bank, and only occasionally when in urgent need could he get money from Zhongxin Bank and Pufa Bank for emergency use.
It’s not that the Big Four and other local banks cannot lend to you. The key is that there is no corresponding resource exchange. Why would others lend you tens or hundreds of billions?
Send an audit team to verify, do you dare to let them check? Do you really think that since it is Qingyun Group, the accounts are clean and can withstand investigation?
If you don't open up all the links, the packaged assets will be obvious to anyone with a discerning eye. If you don't get to borrow the money when the time comes, you'll be caught by others with a lot of leverage and taken advantage of.
For example, Lushun Yida has started construction of a resort and dozens of Yida Plaza projects that have been agreed upon, but problems suddenly arose in the financing channels and the scale of investment suddenly increased dozens of times compared to the plan.
He wanted to find someone to borrow the money from, but no bank paid any attention. No one dared to take over even if huge profits were promised. He could only accept the joint investment from Lianxiang Investment and Fanjiang Group.
Li Zehua was confused. "So? You were the one who came to ask for peace, and now you are the one who is turning against me because of a disagreement.
If you are sick, go home and take medicine. Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that before you came, Chairman Chang of United Communications made a special phone call to say that President Lu also intended to visit you.
I was trying to make concessions based on the principle of peace and harmony, but now it seems completely unnecessary. Mr. Wu was being aggressive, so I guess there must be a way to solve the problem that doesn't require my help.
In that case, bye bye Mr. Wu, you should go back quickly and prepare your resume and find your next job. I won't delay you.
I really envy Mr. Wu. At such a young age, he has already reached the destination that his colleagues have to wait for a lifetime. But it’s good that he can enter the classroom early and eat the emperor’s food, which makes him take fewer detours. It’s really enviable. "
He doesn't even need to do anything. Wu Xiaoqi will definitely lose his current position. As for whether he can get away with it, it all depends on whether the people behind him are willing to protect him.
Wu Xiaoqi was furious, but unfortunately his brother reacted faster. Wu Xiaohui had worked hard for half his life, so how could he tolerate failure at the last moment? He immediately stopped his brother's further provocation.
With sincere apology, he said: "Don't be angry, Mr. Li. My brother is just blinded by greed and can't accept the cruel reality for a while."
He said with a bitter smile, "You also know that after Qingyun messed up United Telecom, China Mobile Telecom fanned the flames and took the opportunity to cause trouble, causing the business volume to plummet...
Regardless of whether today's event succeeds or not, my brother will not be able to keep his current position, and naturally it will not delay the cooperation between Mr. Li and United Communications.
Please, for my uncle's sake, spare him a favor. I promise that he will never appear in the country again."
There is nothing wrong with what he said. Qingyun alone cannot shake the basic foundation of United Communications, even if the new smart users of Qingyun Electronics are taken away by China Mobile and China Telecom.
However, as for the remaining natural increase, United Communications and Netcom can still take a large piece, so they would not be in such a bad situation.
However, China Mobile was tricked by United Communications and China Telecom in its 3G and 4G market layout. The two companies tried to promote the establishment of a tower and integrate the signal base station resources of the three mobile companies to share the development results.
Among them, China Mobile, which had the earliest layout and contributed the most, of course refused to do it. However, United Telecom complained to its superiors every day and forced the proposal to become reality.
Once Qingyun takes action, it would be strange if China Mobile did not make crazy efforts to support it and take ruthless actions together. Various preferential activities were thrown out as if they were free, and Qingyun's sales channels were directly intercepted in rural areas.
It is equivalent to cutting off the foundation of joint communications and curbing it directly from the source.
As for Telecom, it just sits back and reaps the benefits. On the surface, it does not help either party, but secretly follows suit. In short, China Mobile, China Telecom, Qingyun Group and consumers benefit, and only United Telecom suffers.
In less than a month, China Mobile and China Tietong gained 260 million and 150 million new smartphone users respectively, and China Telecom also added more than 140 million. Only China Unicom remained stagnant.
The Netcom business has experienced a historic negative growth due to the impact of China Telecom Tianyi and China Tietong, which is simply ridiculous.
Wu Xiaohui knew that he was currently at a disadvantage and if the fight continued the two groups would inevitably come to a head. When that happened, the higher-ups would be furious and the instigator would be blamed by all parties and no one would be able to protect him.
In order to protect himself, he could only bow his head first, "Boss Li, we surrender. Please make a promise. As long as we can come up with the money, we will do it. With only 50 billion, we can get through this difficult time temporarily..."
"Stop, stop, stop. Just pretend that I don't know and let Qingyun take the lead in the fight, leaving behind a bad reputation as someone who doesn't know when to advance or retreat. These few words are far from enough.
If Mr. Wu's sincerity stops here, then we might as well speed up the talks with Chengdu Baihua Bank. Maybe the breakthrough there will be faster."
Li Zehua interrupted with a smile, "I want all of what you just mentioned. In addition, United Communications needs to renegotiate. I will personally propose the specific requirements to Chang Shuji and President Lu.
Of course, in return, Qingyun will pretend to know nothing during the negotiations between your company and Baihua Bank."
No matter how good-tempered Wu Xiaohui was, he couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that Director Li doesn't even give face to Mr. Xiao Lu and Mr. Bin?"
The tigers in the mountains want to eat people, but does that mean the fierce dragons outside the river won’t eat people?
Pangu will enter the scene, naturally with a special purpose, if there is any possibility, Wu Xiaohui does not want to get involved. "Face is not given by others, but earned by yourself. If you have the ability, you will have face wherever you go."
Li Zehua simply got straight to the point. "Everyone knows what you guys are up to, but Qingyun has no interest in pure capital operations. Mr. Xiao Lu, just do as you please. It has nothing to do with me."
Wu Xiaohui realized that if he continued talking, he might end up touching on more areas that he couldn't agree on, so he decisively stopped the topic and said, "Okay, with Mr. Li's attitude, I know what to do."
He now showed an extremely decisive character. After he finished speaking, he took Wu Xiaoqi away, because he was worried that if he continued talking, he would want to fight with Li Zehua directly.
Even if it means being severely held accountable by the higher-ups, Qing Yun must be eliminated.
The problem is, I don’t have this ability and can only get angry.
Wu Xiaoqi went to a deserted place and vented his anger, panting heavily and full of resentment, "We're just letting him get away with it like this?"
"if not?"
Wu Xiaohui sneered and asked back, "What did I say at the beginning? I asked you to test it out, but you just listened to Mr. Xiao Lu's instigation and went right up to me, causing the irreparable mess we have today.
That’s enough. No matter how grown up you are, don’t you think that if Qingyun was so easy to control, why would Xiao Lu just leave such a big piece of fat meat alone?
It’s really enough. For this family, I have made sacrifices again and again. My father-in-law alone calls me dad three times. What am I trying to gain?
Isn't it for everyone to get rich together? Mr. Xiao Lu invested money in the financial market and lost more than 100 billion in one go, a full 17 billion US dollars. He has connections with the older generation.
Even big figures like Zhong Xin and Kong Cang, who were once impartial and just, had to personally mediate with Qingyun on his behalf, and only then was they able to come up with $7 million to fill the hole.
Haha, he is awesome, but now we brothers have to fill the remaining hole, but what do we get? A company with a 300 billion mess and a big hole?
Even the little money I had earned from my previous car trading was not even a fraction of what I invested. I have now seen clearly what those so-called influential directors and independent directors are.
When they were taking the money, they were all more brutal than the other. When something really happened, no one could help. Fuck you...
Damn it, I swear, from now on I will live for myself, and if I have to make anything, I’ll make 10 billion, no, 100 billion!!!
Only by earning enough money to live on for the rest of your life can you fully control your own destiny! "
He also did not forget to brainwash his brother, "Just treat this as a lesson, don't even think about your position, it's not going to be kept. Her family has made it clear that you have to take care of your own business.
It's just right, you can go abroad, to Australia or the Maple Leaf Country. I will find a way to remit every penny I make to you through underground banks."
Wu Xiaoqi was stunned and felt a little uneasy in his heart. In the past, only 50 cents out of 10 yuan would go into the pockets of these brothers, but now they had to leave everyone else behind and do something big.
If something happens, Wu Xiaohui might have a hard time staying alive.
“I heard that Bitcoin has emerged recently and it’s very popular. Many people in the circle are talking about it. One advantage of it is that it is easy to trade and cannot be tracked when you go abroad.
Find a way to get in touch with the circle, maybe you can use this channel to make some money later."
Wu Xiaohui is very smart. In order to climb up, he has sold out everything. He doesn't mind selling out the last bit of fear and dread. In this world, the brave will die of overeating, while the timid will die of starvation...
"He is a person who left a deep mark in history. He is somewhat decisive, but that's all."
Li Zehua was thinking about the conversation just now. He had a similar opportunity in his previous life, but due to some strange reasons, he failed to overcome the psychological barrier. Later he thought that he was just too young.
Why do you need a conscience for money?
Fortunately, in this life, he has a choice...
United Communications Group is moving quickly; it's almost the end of the year and they have no time to waste. If they fall short of their full-year targets or even regress, they will be held accountable by their superiors.
They have plenty of money. In order to save face and money, they acted arrogantly in front of Qingyun Group. But when they wanted to manipulate the group, they were sanctioned instead. After facing the reality, they quickly adjusted their attitude.
Not only did the first batch of investment funds arrive on time, but the company also took an additional 5 Panda phones, 30 Honor phones, and 150 million Roewe contract phones from Qingyun Electronics, under the pretext of strengthening cooperation.
For a moment, Qingyun Electronics was in a state of confusion. With Roewe's hot sales volume of 150 million units, it would take until after the Chinese New Year to reach the target. It was a little hard to understand whether United Communications was trying to take advantage of the opportunity.
"Give it."
Li Zehua said directly to He Li on the phone: "After all, the other party is an operator, and there is no way to avoid it. What's more, China Unicom has terminated its cooperation with Tenda. Tony Ma called me.
I was so angry that I almost wanted to get out of the phone and beat me up. Just for the sake of face, I have to give China Unicom some benefits. "
He Li complained repeatedly, "Chairman, the orders for Dongguan and Pengcheng have been scheduled until May of next year. I don't know when the commissioning of the new factory will be completed, even if it goes smoothly.
150 million units is the new plant's three-month production capacity. If we give all of them to China Unicom, what if other companies also want them? Wouldn't that offend people?"
“Don’t worry, with the experience of United Telecom, even if other companies have complaints, they will not make a big fuss.
Besides, do you think that if you meet all their requirements, everything will develop smoothly?
Bullshit."
Li Zehua actually doesn’t care about the decision of the friendly companies. After all, every company does everything based on its own interests. “United Telecom just announced that it would terminate its cooperation with Tenda.
It immediately reached an agreement with China Telecom to pre-install Tenda QQ on the contract phones controlled by the latter, and also jointly launched an exclusive monthly data card for the Tenda ecosystem.
They still have advantages in the fields of casual games, news and information, and it is said that tens of thousands of copies have been sold in pre-order alone.”
He Li's heart tightened. "Then we have to hurry up, but the negotiations for the Qingyun family data package seem to be going nowhere. Several operators are dragging their feet and are unwilling to do it."
"Wu Yibin is in talks. I'll ask him first."
Li Zehua smiled and didn't take it seriously. "There is also a good thing. Telecom's contracted phones can be pre-installed with Tenda QQ, which proves that the supervision from above has come to an end. Notify the factory.
I asked someone to go to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to ask what was going on. "
After hanging up the phone, he called Wu Yibin over and asked him face to face, "What's going on with the co-branded data monthly package? It's been two months since we discussed it, and there's no progress at all?"
“It was OK before. China Mobile launched a monthly card, but there were too many people who signed up. As you know, there are more than 100,000 salesmen in the group who need to travel around.
For example, the cost of middle-level management packages is basically between 200 and 1600 yuan per month. There are cheaper packages with unlimited traffic, and whether it is 168 or 298 yuan per month, all places are bought out.
Mobile noticed something was wrong and directly closed the sales channel. No matter how we talked, we couldn't move forward.
I went to the company and asked in person, but the boss received me politely but didn't respond. I finally asked through someone else and found out that he had suffered a huge loss.
People like us are customers with urgent needs. Even if we don’t have a monthly data package, the minimum data cost we spend on work is three to five hundred yuan a month.
There is no way out. I am the victim of a knife. I have to take the knife. When China Unicom and China Telecom saw this, they immediately cancelled the monthly subscription. "
Faced with the situation where big stores were bullying their customers, Qingyun really had no way to deal with it. Even though Li Zehua was stubborn, he didn't dare to go to war with three stores at the same time and could only be forced to accept it.
"We still have to find a way to get a monthly subscription. Take advantage of the opportunity to negotiate a settlement with China Unicom. You should personally take charge of it and make sure we come to an agreement. In short, it should be within 300 yuan a month.
All are acceptable.”
Traffic is of vital importance. After this incident, he attaches more importance to overseas telecommunications infrastructure business. At least there is a bottom line in China. Overseas, the service is not only poor but also expensive.
The key point is that once you leave the main city streets, there is no signal at all. He can't learn from Musk and launch a bunch of satellites into the sky for satellite communications! (End of this chapter)
