"I've heard that Director Li is very promising and has made great achievements at a young age. Seeing him today, I'm sure his reputation is well-deserved."
When you come to Yanjing, you can't avoid meeting some people and dealing with some things.
Introduced by Xu Xin, after Li Zehua came out of the Economic and Trade Commission, he went straight to a well-known international club in Yanjing and met a plain-looking man on the top floor.
Lin Wenhui, who was waiting here, introduced in a low voice: "Huang Wenjun, the son of Huang xx from the Academy of Sciences."
Li Zehua said nothing, but turned to look at the middleman. Xu Xin looked helpless and was forced to smooth things over, saying, "As the saying goes, there is no acquaintance without fighting. Mr. Huang would like to take this opportunity to shake hands with Mr. Li and make peace.
How about just giving me some face and sitting down to talk?"
Huang Wenjun, who was usually flattered by a group of people wherever he went, didn't look very happy, but he still suppressed his anger and smiled, "It's my fault. I didn't inform Director Li in advance. Please forgive me for my presumptuous invitation."
"It's okay. I've already seen how Mr. Huang dealt with Qingyun before."
Li Zehua had nothing to say to him, so he turned to ask Lin Wenhui, "Has the share transfer agreement been signed?"
Lin Wenhui nodded and said, "I just finished talking with the China Banking Regulatory Commission. It's about the same as previously estimated. We can take over completely in mid-March.
After the agreement is signed today, we can first take over the offline outlets of Minsheng Group in several southern provinces, and then gradually transfer them according to the agreement. "
"Okay, you can arrange a meeting with the head of the central bank for me tomorrow."
Li Zehua had a lot of things to deal with when he came to Yenching. One of the most important things was to let Lin Wenhui serve as the vice chairman and president of Minsheng Group and smoothly guide the Minsheng system to integrate into the Qingyun system.
Huang Wenjun saw that the two of them were not shy about talking about work, especially the business related to people's livelihood, and he immediately felt a little uneasy, "Boss Li, about Lianxiang shares?"
Li Zehua pretended to be puzzled, "Ah? Lian Xiang's shares are also related to Mr. Huang?"
Huang Wenjun was almost angry to death. Who is he!
As the son of a big shot in the Academy of Sciences, one of the actual controllers behind Lianxiang Holdings, and chairman of Yanjing Huangtian Investment Management Group, who in the industry would not be polite when meeting him?
I was suddenly ridiculed and mocked in person, and it took me a long time to recover.
Li Zehua's words were like a slap in the face. No matter how good-tempered he was, he couldn't stand it. After he realized what was happening, he immediately turned hostile: "Mr. Li, stop pretending. I'm only asking you to come here to talk to you out of respect~"
But before he could finish his words, Xu Xin stopped him, fearing that he would say something excessive.
Li Zehua looked amused, "Boss Huang is in his 60s, you can take a joke, right? No way?"
It was obvious that he was playing tricks on the other party. From the moment he entered the room and saw the person, he never thought of compromising, or from the second when Liu Sen (Liu Sen) was about to kill him in Sichuan Province.
The two sides will end up fighting to the death.
Cotton futures trapped the Taishan School. Qingyun Investment made a series of moves in the stock market, frantically shorting the stocks of Fanjiang, Fuxing and other companies, causing Lu Zhiqiang, Guo Guangchang and others to lose their last chip.
The continuous limit down of stock prices made the Taishan faction, which was good at capital operation, miserable. Their funds were originally obtained through borrowing, mortgaging, and robbery.
In the cotton futures battle, almost all of his liquid capital was lost.
The subsequent stock price plummeted, causing the value of collateral in financial institutions to shrink sharply. The huge losses forced investors to come and collect debts, one thing after another, until everyone on the line was dragged into the water.
The people behind the scenes could no longer sit still and tried various ways to cut off ties and clear all traces. Some ruthless people even asked others to pass on a message to the instigator, Lu Zhiqiang, to be willing to die.
After more than three months, all the hidden dangers were finally dealt with. Now they have come to their senses and are looking for Li Zehua to settle the score. However, they never expected that micropayments have emerged as a new force in Southeast Asia and set a big precedent for everyone.
This involves national strategies and the export of RMB. Anyone who dares to move Qingyun at this critical juncture will be offending the country, let alone a scientific institute, even if some more powerful groups come forward.
That was destined to be crushed in minutes, and even the bigwigs who insisted on asking friends to buy things for them kept silent about it.
During this period, the financial market has been hit by one bomb after another, which has truly put on a wonderful drama for the spectators.
However, Huang Wenjun, one of the protagonists, did not have such a wonderful experience. Over ten billion assets disappeared out of thin air, and he had to put on a smiling face and act like a grandson and beg for mercy.
Now being ridiculed and mocked, Li Zehua felt like eating it, but with Xu Xin's light words, he instantly calmed down.
In fact, Xu Xin was not very willing to get involved in this mess, but there were always those distant relatives who kept asking for favors from others and asking for favors from her in a roundabout way.
The debt of favor passed down from generation to generation must be repaid.
But this does not mean that she will definitely stand on Huang Wenjun's side. Facing him who was about to go berserk, Xu Xin said coldly: "Think about the inside story of IBM's transaction. Let's see who dies first."
The Lantern Festival had not yet passed for a few days and Yanjing was very cold. Xu Xin's words were like pouring a bucket of ice water on him, chilling him from head to toe, and even his bones could not help but shiver.
Seeing his expression, Xu Xin pursed her lips in disdain, but she had to help the man who asked for help, so she took the opportunity to say to Li Zehua: "Lianxiang Holdings suffered heavy losses in the speculative futures market.
It will be liquidated soon.
With the 29% of Lianxiang shares in Fanjiang that you control, it will not be a problem for you to take over smoothly. However, their family is based in the Academy of Sciences, and the connections they have accumulated in the education sector cannot be underestimated.
Can you, for the sake of the overall situation, raise it high and then put it down gently? If possible, split Lenovo and sell the IBM business segment as a package? I believe someone will offer a high price to buy it. "
Li Zehua was very aware of the interests involved, so he would not easily throw away the evidence. He sneered and asked, "Why?"
"Believe me, you can't take over the entire Lianxiang business. The shares held by the Academy of Sciences alone are enough to become an obstacle for you to take over Lianxiang."
Xu Xin seemed to be trying to exonerate Huang Wenjun, but in fact she was clearing up Li Zehua's doubts, uncovering the inside details and explaining the pros and cons.
“…Since the day Lianxiang was established, it was essentially an affiliated company. However, the general environment at that time did not allow private ownership, so Liu Aiguo made a series of operations later.
Of course, it is undeniable that the connections of the Academy of Sciences played a huge role in this. Without this, Lianxiang would not have been able to develop into the largest PC manufacturer in China.
Because the ownership was unclear at the beginning, a series of farces followed...
No one wants to be stuck like this, but since it has come to this, why not sit down and have a frank talk. The Academy of Sciences has the resources you want.
For example, procurement from government offices in various places, and the technology, sales channels, and personal connections that Lian Xiang has in his hands can all be utilized.
What they want is not much, and they can also acquire Lianxiang's IBM business, which is continuously losing money, at a premium. Everyone gets what they need, and isn't it good to cooperate for mutual benefit?
Mr. Li, it is better to resolve a feud than to create one. It will be beneficial to both the Group and you personally if you can avoid trouble in the future."
From Xu Xin's point of view, she is more inclined to the so-called reasonable distribution. If she does not stand firm on this position, she will not be able to endorse her previous actions.
There is no way to explain the legality of the original funding sources of many of them, which is understandable, but Li Zehua is different. He climbed up step by step from the bottom.
What I hate the most are these legacy issues created by the so-called macro-environment. Well, when it is good for you, you are a collective enterprise, and after you grow and develop, it is the credit of your family.
Huang Wenjun also patiently said some words that seemed to be concessions, but were actually threatening in secret, trying to use the academy's reputation to make him back down.
"Boss Li, we are sincere in resolving the conflict. As long as you give us some face today, we will be family in the future."
"No, I don't dare to have anything to do with you. We are not the same kind of people."
As he listened, Li Zehua could not help but interrupt and said, "It is meaningless to say this. When the share reform was carried out, the group's shares were used as collateral and the money was used to buy shares for the management.
If the company is still asked to repay the loan, it will have crossed the bottom line.
Even if Liu Sen hadn't made a move on me, there would be no basis for cooperation between Lian Xiang and me, let alone now. Why do you think you can ask me to hand over the IBM business with just one sentence?
I have no shortage of money.
What difference does it make whether you want Lianxiang’s business or not?
Shenzhou is already in my hands, and Qingyun Electronics is also actively deploying its PC strategy. It doesn't matter even if the Academy of Sciences holds on to the remaining shares. The worst that can happen is that we will suffer losses.
Want to blackmail me? Don't you think about those agency companies that once existed? Don't think that everything will be fine if you cancel them. Existence means traces. So much internal transaction data is still there. How can they get away?"
Huang Wenjun was finally scared. Others might not understand, but as one of the actual controllers of Lianxiang Holdings, how could he not understand the tricks of the agency company?
It leaves the factory for 800 yuan, and it takes 1,500 or even 2,000 yuan to reach the provincial agency. Where does the profit go?
It's because these people took advantage of the situation and enriched themselves.
If we investigate carefully, no one on the line will have an easy time. He came here because the people behind him couldn't sit still and wanted to make peace, but they were unwilling to completely surrender.
They always want to use the resources in their hands to continue seeking rent-agent services. If they can drag Qingyun into the water and train it to become their spokesperson for interests, they would be so happy that they would wake up laughing in their dreams.
But he didn't expect Li Zehua to be so unkind, not giving him any room for maneuver, and insisting on investigating everything, which frightened him. "Don't be angry, Mr. Li, if you have anything to say, just tell us what you want."
For the sake of profit, they can do anything. They have kneeled to foreign capital before, and it doesn’t matter if they kneel again to Qingyun, which cannot be controlled for the time being, just to save their lives.
As for Huang Wenjun's idea of settling the score with Qingyun after the storm has passed, no one cares.
Li Zehua didn't care at all, because he had never thought of compromising, but in order to avoid a quarrel and to collect further evidence, he said with a smile: "It would have been better if you had said this earlier.
Mr. Huang, right? We have known each other for a long time. When we met today, I felt that you were very kind and could bring me benefits. We are good friends. Come, have some tea. "
Huang Wenjun finally put his heart at ease and accompanied the other party to drink tea and chat. No matter what the other party said, he managed to respond with a smile. The atmosphere was very harmonious for a while.
Only Lin Wenhui knew that his boss was setting a trap for the other party, and he didn't believe that his boss would be so kind.
Xu Xin became more and more frightened the more she listened. She always felt that something was wrong. Was this still the Li Zehua she knew?
When did he become so easy to talk to?
Tomorrow Capital is one of Qingyun’s earliest venture capital allies, and he has never shown mercy when it comes to taking action.
Li Zehua seemed not to notice their strange looks, and continued to say to Huang Wenjun: "In fact, there is no hatred between us at all, the problem is all Liu Aiguo's fault.
As far as I know, he is still in the special care unit and living comfortably. How can this be possible? Some people know too much and know that they have no way out, so they will definitely talk nonsense.
Maybe it will cause other troubles by then."
Huang Wenjun was frightened. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and stammered, "I'm afraid this won't work. That, that~"
Li Zehua was unhappy. "When I dealt with Mr. Lu from the Fanjiang faction, I didn't see you hesitate at all. Why are you installing it on me now?"
“This is totally different.”
Huang Wenjun didn't know how to explain it. He couldn't say that Yang Yuanqin was waiting next door to hear the result, right?
If possible, they would have taken action long ago without Li Zehua's urging. However, they are very smart. They made a lot of connections in the early years when they developed the power of Lianxiang and Taishan Sect.
Through extensive exchange of interests and great personal charm, he infected and deceived a large number of people. Now there are still many people who are speaking up for him and even questioning whether the general environment is not suitable for doing business.
If we act rashly against him, wouldn't that just confirm the outside world's speculation?
Li Zehua didn't care and insisted on dealing with him as one of the prerequisites for cooperation, "Don't think I don't know what Mr. Yang has done recently.
They are in cahoots with the coarse grain factory, have taken over all of Lianxiang’s resources, and have also connected with Intel. It doesn’t matter, because the monk can run away but the temple cannot.
When Sun Hongbin comes back and takes over Lianxiang again, we will dig up the old accounts and settle them thoroughly."
What else could Huang Wenjun do? He could only bite the bullet and say, "Don't be angry, Mr. Li. I'll try my best to arrange it."
"Then take concrete action and we'll talk."
Li Zehua came to the appointment mainly to give face to his friends. He didn't want to have a bad reputation of being mean and ungrateful. Now he found an excuse and immediately stood up and prepared to leave.
Xu Xin had no choice but to get up and see him off.
"What are you thinking? If you offend the Academy of Sciences, you will offend a large number of bigwigs in the education system, which will be very detrimental to the development of your industry.
Besides, the matter of Taishan Sect has been settled, even Jack Ma and Li Yanhong have withdrawn, and the remaining Yang Yuanqin is no longer a concern. Why must we take advantage of the situation and kill him off?"
In response to Xu Xin's question, Li Zehua smiled and said, "People with different ideals cannot work together. Originally, everyone was developing on their own, and Lian wanted to pick one out of the two. If it weren't for the competition between JD.com and Pinxixi,
Perhaps the group had no future when home appliances were first introduced to the countryside.
You know what happened later, but they were just fighting for interests and they were trying to kill me. How can this be resolved peacefully?"
Xu Xin was speechless, and after thinking for a while, he said, "But it will delay the group's business."
"The Group? Without me, would the Group be what it is today?"
Li Zehua smiled confidently, tapping his forehead with his fingers regularly, leaning forward slightly, with a strong sense of oppression, "You seem to have made a mistake, your interests can be protected with me here.
Without me, even if the entire Qingyun is given to you, no one can play smoothly! "
Xu Xin remained silent, thinking that he hated this kind of conceited person the most, but he couldn't do anything about it because what he said was the truth.
Unless everyone doesn't want to continue to make money, no one would dare to take action against Li Zehua. If it were really easy to replace his position, there would be no need for everyone to listen to him here.
Xu Xin was helpless. "Forget it, it's up to you. But if you want the person inside to disappear quietly, Huang Wenjun is still a little bit behind. You know, there are many people abroad who only recognize him."
"That's why I found something for Mr. Huang to do. It can only interfere with their sight. Compared with the life of that person, the interests that Lian wants to affect seem to be greater. Maybe he will compromise."
Li Zehua laughed loudly, but turned to Lin Wenhui and said, "I will send Yao Xiangjun to help you. After taking over the Minsheng Department, I will immediately send people to Lianxiang.
Sun Hongbin is a good knife. The resentment he has accumulated for more than ten years will help us take the initiative to charge into battle. We need to use him well and protect him.
This time, even if I have to poke a hole in the sky, I will make this group of people disappear forever."
Lin Wenhui nodded silently...
"Well, I told you there's no need to talk. This kind of bastard who climbed up from the bottom of society will never cry until he sees the coffin."
Yang Yuanqin was indeed in the next room. After everyone left, he came out and said to Huang Wenjun, "We are a community of interests tied to the same rope, don't even think about touching my master.
Once he dies, no one will be able to control the situation, and we won’t be the only ones who will die.”
Huang Wenjun said angrily: "This won't work, that won't work, are we all just waiting to die?
If you ask me, you might as well go in and talk to him clearly, sacrificing him and saving thousands of families."
"You go and tell me!"
Yang Yuanqin sneered: "Oh, we are brothers when we are making money, but when something goes wrong, you all want to distance yourself from us?
Do you dare to say that you didn't get any benefits when IBM acquired you?
When the damn nine-digit money came into your pocket, why didn't you refuse it? If you take the money, you have to do the job. If you really want him to take over, no matter it is to thoroughly investigate the cross-border business or the agency business.
We’re all screwed.”
Huang Wenjun was extremely distressed. “But now the higher-ups are trying to deal with him. Not only does he have 29% of the Fanjiang Group, but they also want to give him the shares after the liquidation of the controlling shareholder.
You can't even control the company, what do you want us to do? Are you going to send someone to kill him? You're crazy, it's impossible to succeed!"
"Of course I know that he has a lot of people protecting him. Even the higher-ups have secretly sent people. If possible, the people who want him dead can line up from Yanjing to the Magic City."
Yang Yuanqin said bitterly: “Now it’s not about how to deal with him, but we need you to come forward to disrupt his taking over the employee shares held by Lian Xiang Holdings.
As long as you are willing to come out and resist, I will mobilize the internal employees to make trouble and drag things out. "
Huang Wenjun didn't believe it. "What's the point of doing this? The higher-ups are watching, and whoever stands out will be punished. Besides, it will only take a few months at most, and we'll still have to hand it over to him anyway."
"A few months is enough time. Do you think that he made $40 to 50 billion by making such a scene in Southeast Asia, and no one would be jealous?"
Yang Yuanqin was envious to the point of madness, his eyes revealing madness, "Wall Street hates him to death and is already dealing with him. As long as the Southeast Asian market reverses, it will prove that the grand strategy he boasted about does not work.
The more glorious he is now, the more miserable he will be in the future!
I can't wait to see his end, and when that happens, I'm going to make him suffer a fate worse than death!"
Huang Wenjun was frightened by his ferocious face, "Are you sure it will work? If it doesn't work, those who speak out will be punished later."
"If you don't get liquidated, how can your fate be any better? Now you are fighting for survival. If you don't want to die, come out and stop Qingyun."
Yang Yuanqin has given up everything. He has already handed over all of Lian Xiang's resources to Yu Huatian. He doesn't care about winning or losing at all. He just wants to cause trouble for Li Zehua.
What’s more, those people on Wall Street control the world, so dealing with Qing Yun should be easy, right?
