"Are you unhappy that I'm pregnant?"
Not sure if it was always like this after pregnancy, but Lin Wan felt that Li Zehua was in a bad mood and she felt a little nervous.
"Or do you not like children?"
"It's nothing, don't think about it."
Li Zehua hesitated to speak, and finally asked tentatively, "The key is that it is too coincidental that you and Fu Yujie were pregnant at the same time, and now this relationship is giving me a headache.
It would be unreasonable for you not to take care of her. I can't find an opportunity to make you have a big fight and break up your relationship!
How could I go there without being discovered?"
Lin Wan's face suddenly changed, as if she had used bleach. She stretched out her hand and pinched a piece of his waist hard, twisting it in circles, causing the latter to grimace in pain.
"Humph, man, that's not what you said at the beginning. You were looking for excitement and were brave enough to try it. Now that you hear that you have to take responsibility, you want to run away, right?
I don’t care, I will definitely give birth to the child. You should consider her/him, and you should also consider me. During the physical examination, the female director of the obstetrics and gynecology department said that in a few years I will become an elderly mother~"
"Stop. I never, ever, and will never make fun of you and your child. I'm just worried about whether it will be awkward for you two to meet. She's your niece, not an outsider."
Li Zehua felt her small hands rubbing the painful part of his waist, and took her into his arms, "Did you two discuss this? If she goes to Rongcheng, you will go to Yanjing.
If I calculate the time, there is only a week difference, and the due date is estimated to be about the same. How do I explain it then?
I was very happy when I heard your call. I was planning to send you to Lijiaopo. When I have nothing to do, I will use the excuse of expanding overseas business next year to try to spend more time with you.
But what should I do now? I can't let you be the bad guy and let her complain about me not being there when she gave birth, right?"
As I was talking, an even more bizarre question popped up in my mind.
Lin Wan has a child, he should be Fu Yujie's cousin, right?
Then wouldn't Fu Yujie's child have to call her aunt and uncle cousins?
There is a generation gap between them, and they are half-siblings?
How the hell am I going to write my family tree in the future?
And Fu Yujie is still unaware of the situation. She knows Yu Li, and vaguely knows about the others, but she absolutely dare not think about Lin Wan, in case she gets too emotional and it affects the baby in her belly.
What should I do?
Lin Wan could clearly sense his embarrassment, and she became surprisingly quiet, not continuing to act up...
"Mr. Li, it is a great honor for our humble company to have you come to inspect our work in person. It is a great honor for the 1600 employees of the branch...
These are the leaders of friendly companies, please, please come in..."
Early in the morning, at the gate of Pengcheng Dajiang Technology Industrial Park, Lu Fei, vice chairman and president of Dajiang Technology, brought a group of people to hold banners and set off fireworks, making a grand scene.
Wang Tao?
Sorry, except for typhoons and earthquakes, he would stay in the laboratory to test new products. He has the same personality as SF Express's King, and it is difficult for him to show up in front of outsiders.
"You will stay with me for a while, and go to the office to rest when you are tired."
Li Zehua spoke to Lin Wan, then entered the park with Lu Fei and listened to a brief report on recent developments.
At the same time, Wang Fei also introduced Dajiang Technology to the leaders of Pengcheng government, directors and executives of friendly companies such as BOE and BYD.
There was also a big guy in the crowd who got a pass in a low-key manner and looked around. When he saw the large test drone, he also consulted the staff responsible for the explanation.
"Have you ever tested the underwing suspension? Let's take a look at the balance and accuracy data."
The staff member glanced at the level of the pass on his chest without leaving a trace, put on a warm smile and said, "Sir, please wait a moment, I will ask my colleague to bring it to you right away.
Sorry, this is company confidential information and we didn't prepare it in a hurry. Please wait a moment."
The visitor could understand, and asked some key questions while waiting, and finally concluded: "From the perspective of your development and design of drones, do you think they can be used for express delivery in the future?
Is there a future? "
The staff member thought carefully for a moment and replied cautiously: "In theory, there is no problem. The company has accumulated a lot of technical research and development in the field of pinnacle precision delivery.
Especially led by Professor Li Zexiang of Googol Technology, and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Pengcheng University, Sun Yat-sen University, University of Science and Technology of China, Hunan University, Tsinghua University, Fudan University, Northwestern Polytechnical University, and Jiaotong University.
Twelve universities including Harbin Institute of Technology, Jinling University, and Jiangcheng University have formed a UAV technology research alliance. The group has invested heavily and set aside an additional $1 million each year to reward technological breakthroughs..."
The person who consulted on the application of drones in the express delivery field was none other than Wang Wei, chairman of SF Express, who rarely appears in public.
Half of the reason why Li Zehua came to Pengcheng was because of him. He wanted to win over SF Express, and together with Qingyun Tongda Group and JD.com, which already had interests tied to the post office, Qingyun would theoretically unify the logistics and express delivery industry.
Wang Wei asked Qingyun for help in many fields including e-commerce, same-city delivery, large-scale logistics, and transportation resources, especially the smart logistics network built by Qingyun, starting from land transportation.
Heavy investments have been made in water transportation, rail transportation, aerospace, and other fields. As long as SF Express holds shares in Hummingbird Group and Yunyunbang, it can avoid continuing to purchase vehicles.
There will be repeated investments in real estate and other fields. According to the agreement between Qingyun and its strategic allies, Qingyun will purchase vehicles and allocate transportation resources in a unified manner at that time.
The specific management is done by people assigned by each express delivery company, but for transportation resources on non-popular routes, each company coordinates and unifies the resources to achieve benefit sharing, and the money and time that can be saved are immeasurable.
Simply by advancing and retreating together and attacking together against common enemies, we can make our competitors despair.
Wang Wei didn't want to come at first because he and Qingyun had not yet reached an agreement on key interests. He himself was inclined to Chaozhou porridge, and his family also advised him to be cautious.
But he only used one sentence to shut everyone up, "Benefits! The Tonglu Gang still relied on Taotao to get started in the express delivery industry, but Boss Qingyun is a generous person and has never thought about eating alone.
He has meat, and everyone can share it. Not to mention the distant past, Yu Weilong took away at least 2 million yuan of personal wealth from him.
Through cooperation at the company level, Yuantong's valuation has at least increased tenfold. In a few years, the express delivery industry will have to act according to his wishes. Everyone is out to make money. Logically, I should support Tengda Ali.
To add icing on the cake, SF Express can obtain more resources. Its status in the Ahri camp will definitely surpass that in the Qingyun system.
Does the question make sense? Mr. Li of Qingyun has made the higher-ups very happy. There will be no policy risks in the short term. Without the intervention of state capital, no one can shake Qingyun's advantage.
Compared to taking money from Tengda Ali and engaging in a price war in the logistics and express delivery industry, SF Express is destined to be isolated and attacked by everyone. Who will share the risk then?
Jack Ma has always been too ambitious and obsessed with big things. He thinks that he can control everything with capital. He never looks down and respects real-world entrepreneurs.
He listens to everyone's opinions and respects everyone's choices, as if he is the only one in the world who deserves success and honor, and everyone else can only make a living under his shadow.
With such overbearing behavior, over the years, any entrepreneur with a little bit of ambition will not cooperate with Ali, and the so-called Ali ecosystem will always have to fight alone. "
There is another paragraph about Tony Ma, which he didn't say. Ten years ago, probably no one dared to cooperate with him. He was famous for being the only one who could make a living. He relied on his traffic advantage and never took others seriously.
Li Zehua is completely different. He only gives warmth to his partners, such as Dong Chaogui of BYD, Wang Tao of Dajiang, Wang Dongsheng of BOE, and Chaoxu, um~ forget about Chaoxu.
In short, every partner that has established strategic cooperation with Qingyun has mentioned Mr. Li’s reputation for being righteous, providing money, resources, and orders without interfering too much in internal affairs.
According to Wang Jianning, chairman of Yida Group, Mr. Li from Qingyun is generous and suitable to be a friend and partner, and it is easy for him to achieve a win-win cooperation.
With many previous experiences, Wang Wei's resistance was reduced a lot. What's more, Li Zehua, Temasek and SASAC have joined forces to give SF Express an irresistible valuation.
350 billion RMB to invest in a courier company whose annual revenue has not reached 5 billion and whose net profit is less than 30 million. They don’t want much, just 10% of the shares, % for each company.
Among them, the shares of Qingyun and Temasek are unconditionally entrusted to Wang Wei for ten years. After ten years, as long as Wang Wei is willing to stay in office, the contract will be unconditionally renewed for another ten years.
How many twenty years are there in life?
Knowing each other, walking side by side, sharing honor and disgrace, time will prove everything. Wang Wei was very tempted. SF Express has developed well in the past two years, but compared with the Tongda Group, whose valuation has increased tenfold, it is still a little behind.
What's more, the company will purchase cargo planes, complete the construction of a smart logistics network, upgrade warehousing and logistics technology, expand fresh food e-commerce, and start investing in offline large supermarkets.
They all require a steady stream of financial support and countless fantastic business ideas, which require not only money and technology, but also common ideals and pursuits, such as drone delivery of express packages.
The company's investors thought he was crazy and complained about it. Even if they wanted to invest tens of millions to test the waters, they were blocked. Wang Wei was fed up with the chattering of investors, even if they were from the same family.
He was also impatient, and now he had the opportunity to introduce Qingyun Capital to help him, which he couldn't ask for more.
“Unfortunately, it is too difficult to seize the opportunity to gain complete control of Pinxixi’s e-commerce fresh food sector and acquire the same-city food, clothing, housing and transportation delivery business from Fengniao Group.
These are the most important breakthroughs for SF Express's future development. If we can't successfully take them, we can't follow Mr. Li's original words and expand the scale of SF Express's direct operations fivefold in an effort to exceed one million as soon as possible.
Let’s deliver express together with Chimome and share resources like Yunyunbang. We can use this as a breakthrough point to expand the logistics market based on high-end air transportation.”
"What important matter is Mr. Wang thinking about?"
Suddenly, a chuckle from the side interrupted Wang Wei's thinking. He turned around and saw that it was none other than BYD Chairman Wang Chuanfu.
The latter also came specifically to visit Dajiang Technology. One makes cars and the other makes airplanes, which are not related at all, but the technology has developed to this day, including mechanical transmission, electronic control and many other fields.
The two parties have business dealings, and because they have the same investor, in theory they can achieve barrier-free communication.
Listening to Wang Wei's brief description of the future vision of drone delivery, Wang Chuanfu also laughed, "Mr. Li's ability to draw big pictures has improved. Even you have been fooled."
Wang Wei asked doubtfully, "You too?"
"Coincidentally, Mr. Li told me that unmanned flying cars are also a development direction in the future."
Wang Chuanfu was a little skeptical. After all, turning four wheels into four fixed wings would require revolutionary breakthroughs in energy transmission power, stability, body structure, material strength and other aspects.
But that did not stop him from coming to visit. After all, Qingyun Power Technology has some special technologies that can be shown off, such as the solid-state battery fast-charging technology that Times New Energy also developed.
BYD can also absorb and utilize new materials and new technologies in the battery field and replicate them in its new products.
“Will drones replace cars and become the main means of transportation in the future?”
Wang Wei felt for a moment that his brain's computing power was not enough, but after thinking about it, he felt it was quite reliable.
He wants to use drones to replace manpower, so that they can fly freely at low altitudes in the city, avoid congestion and traffic accidents, and deliver to the rooftop of the customer's home as soon as possible, or even reach in through the window.
So why can't drones be larger in the future and become a new means of transportation that replaces traditional road restrictions?
Wang Chuanfu is not sure whether he can achieve this goal in his lifetime, but he also has the motivation to make his name in history, replace the inventor of the car, and surpass old Ford.
Flying cars, the founder of unmanned flying cars, will lead a new technological era and will be forever recorded in human history. It’s quite exciting to think about it.
"For a moment, I wanted to follow him and build a flying car. I always felt that delivering packages had no future."
Wang Wei put aside all distracting thoughts and was about to say something when he saw Li Zehua approaching from a distance, surrounded by a group of people. "Boss Wang, long time no see."
Wang Chuanfu shook hands first, "We just met in Chengdu. Mr. Li's words are not sincere, so I won't bother you for now."
Wang Wei took the lead and walked side by side with him, but out of his curiosity, even his personal assistant Wang Fei stopped and made room for the two of them to talk alone.
How come there is still a lady who is so blind and follows me like a dog-skin plaster?
"I'm just pregnant, so I have a bad temper. Please forgive me."
Li Zehua followed his gaze and looked behind him, explained with a smile, and then called the female security guard to help her go for a walk in the park.
"Farewell, let's go to the park. You know what, the environment around Dajiang Technology is pretty good. It's actually built in a park."
Wang Wei looked at the surrounding environment and was quite satisfied. "It just so happens that the company's headquarters is too noisy, and I also want to change the working environment. You are familiar with this place, so help me find a piece of land."
As it is a high-tech industrial park, the greening work must be done well. In addition, Shenzhen is located in the tropical area and on the coast, so various green plants and flowers bloom all the year round, providing a place for people to relax after a busy day.
However, it is obviously not a question of whether the environment is good or bad now, but that the king of SF Express has personally promised to accept Qingyun's investment in SF Express.
Li Zehua understood immediately and was delighted. "Absolutely no problem. I guarantee that Mr. Wang will be satisfied. No matter how much the relocation fee is, I will personally bear it all. It can be regarded as a meeting gift to Mr. Wang."
"No, let's put it this way. We are a cooperative relationship, and SF Express is not a subsidiary of Qingyun."
Wang Wei refused with a smile. He didn't want to be controlled by this matter in the future so that Qingyun could take the opportunity to interfere in SF Express's internal affairs.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to talk face to face, he asked Chimo about the food delivery business provided by Chimo, and Fengniao about the supply chain business provided by Fengniao to community fruit and vegetable stores and large supermarkets.
“It’s not that I don’t agree, but this business is a sure win for everyone, and it’s actually not in my hands. After each city is completed, I sign a contract with a separate company.
As the actual controller, you should understand what kind of connections you have in the local area. To put it bluntly, even the prefect's own son may not be able to get it, but you can make tens of millions in net profit a year just by opening your mouth.
Who wouldn't want it? The key is that there won't be any trouble. It's just a name, but the actual operation will still be handled by the group."
Li Zehua smiled bitterly, "It's okay in big cities, but in small and medium-sized cities, if you don't pay homage to them, they won't care how big your background is or who's behind you. With one order, even the delivery business will be stopped.
You who work in express delivery may not have such deep contact with people, but I work in all walks of life. It is impossible for me to offend people on my own initiative, even if I can ask them to leave with some effort. After all, I can't do that all year round.
Just ask those three or four hundred prefects to change their posts every day and offend everyone, and then Qingyun will have a way to die."
Wang Wei felt very sorry. “I had originally thought of taking this opportunity to build a nationwide distribution system for major cities within 24 hours. Now I see that the resources are in the hands of the resource allocators.
On the surface, we seem to be in great esteem, but in reality, we are just professional managers who are entrusted with safekeeping.”
"If you only care about what you once had, why bother about it lasting forever? Besides, it is not necessarily lucky for a son to inherit his father's business. Entrepreneurs who have not experienced fierce competition at the grassroots level will eventually lack energy and spirit.
If you don't have the ability to take the position rashly, you will be in trouble and embarrass everyone. Why bother? "
Li Zehua said something that came to his mind, and then took the initiative to ask: "When will the board of directors meet? I've been in East Guangdong these days, so you'll have to find a chance to invite me over to sit down and get to know each other!"
"If you give a few more hundred million, maybe everyone will come and get to know you."
Wang Wei said half-jokingly, then became serious, "Let's do it on the 15th. First, you ask the finance and audit departments to take over the accounts. After the cleanup is completed, find an opportunity to sign the contract before the New Year.
I know you are very rich now, so please leave me a share from the industrial fund."
“There is a gap of more than 200 million US dollars for the time being. There have been a lot of investments recently and we can’t handle it. But you can tell us when you go back that we only want clean money to purchase the industrial fund.
No one should bring trouble here. The rules are different, so the way of playing is naturally different."
Li Zehua did not refuse, but still spoke carefully.
Wang Wei did not refuse. "They are all very disciplined people. Besides, we have some friends in Southeast Asia. If you need help, just ask."
"Don't worry, I won't be polite with you. Pinxixi and JD.com have joined hands to go global, so there are opportunities for cooperation in many places."
Li Zehua glanced at Lin Wan, who was basking in the sunshine among the flowers, feeling the beauty of life, and closed his eyes and said, "The brothers of SF Express are famous for their courage and hard work, let's try a few hundred of them first.
A down-to-earth business cannot be done with just words. "
"No problem." (End of chapter)
