Chapter 413: Ask Boss Li for an explanation

"What else can you do all day long except causing trouble everywhere?!"

"Hey, Uncle Zhang, you are here to take care of me~
This guy named Jia deserves to be scolded. In his hands, the money will just be sent out. But I am different. I make real contributions to the country.

I feel like I didn't perform well just now. If it happens again, I'll just beat him up."

As the governor of the Western Regions and the first promoter of the Construction Governor's Office, Governor Zhang was speechless.

"Just keep quiet. There's a big guy behind him. But it's okay. You are Jian in the emperor's heart. Just keep quiet for the next two years and don't let anyone catch you."

He was very happy that his old friend came to Western Region to invest. He had a cooperative foundation with Qingyun Group in Xingcheng, Hunan Province, and he was very optimistic about the prospects of the package of agricultural cooperation proposed by Qingyun this time.

More than 100,000 square kilometers of land are contracted for the special cultivation of specialty agricultural and sideline products, large-scale breeding of Tianshan cattle and desert sheep, and the establishment of road and rail transportation centers.

An international trade city and a food processing industry chain will be built in the capital of the Western Region. Although there is not much industry, the location and environment of the Western Region do not provide a foundation for industrial development for the time being.

He promised to invest 50 billion cumulatively over the next five years and create 500,000 new long-term jobs, which will surely make a huge contribution to stabilizing the country's western provinces.

The benefits will definitely be felt in the present and for future generations.

To this end, Governor Zhang took time out to fly to Yanjing to make a comprehensive report to his superiors, and received strong support from all sides. Isn't it just contracting land and hiring people?
Give.

As long as Qingyun Group can ensure the smooth implementation of this plan, and provide policies and personnel, the Five Military Governor's Office has come forward to make a public statement that it will increase the supply of technical personnel.

Not enough drivers? In 08, the two-year military system was used to select the best talents in the last six months. They were specially trained in driving skills and were directly sent to the northwest on the day of demobilization and collectively transferred to the Yunyunbang.

Even a batch of the team’s trucks can be transferred at a super low price, and in the future some non-confidential material transportation tasks can also be handed over to the core team of Yunyunbang.

Are we short of professional farmers raising cattle and sheep?

It's even simpler. Starting today, farms will not only raise pigs, but also arrange cattle and sheep and train professional veterinarians. Local governments are also actively contacting various agricultural, forestry and animal husbandry universities to help coordinate professional personnel.

It has to be said that Li Zehua is lucky. He can get support from the Five Military Governor's Office for whatever he needs. If he had been uninterested in construction, other engineering projects could have been given to him.

Nowadays, food purchases for many bases are specially arranged to Chizuome and Qingyun Agriculture. The profit is a bit low, but the quantity is large and the profit margin is long-term!

When Governor Zhang returned from Yanjing, he personally took him to inspect the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains. He would circle the land he liked on the map and then notify the local leaders to come to the capital for a meeting. After the confirmation, he would begin to integrate resources.

In the middle of the inspection, Fake Medicine Stop called and cursed. Li Zehua was so cunning that he made the call directly out loud, forcing Governor Zhang to come out in person and teach him a lesson.

No matter how awesome Fake Medicine Stop was, he didn't dare to confront Governor Zhang directly. He was scolded like a grandson. Li Zehua seized the opportunity to beat the fallen dog and dealt a heavy blow. The confrontation ended with his complete victory.

After hanging up the phone, I was still not satisfied, thinking that my performance just now was a little lacking. Suddenly, I saw a few circles appear on the map. I looked at the Western Region Chief of Staff holding the map and trying hard to hold back laughter.

As for the instigator, he couldn't afford to offend him, so he said with a bitter face: "It's best to contract land for large-scale planting and breeding in one piece. You have pieces here and there.

How can we form scale advantages? It is also not conducive to reducing costs in the allocation of transportation resources. "

Governor Zhang smiled happily, and the chief of staff explained beside him: "Mr. Li, this is also for your own good. Think about it, it involves contracting such a large area of ​​land, both for planting and breeding.

It has very high requirements for water sources, light, land irrigation and transportation. You are also aware of the situation in the Western Region Province. It is surrounded by three mountains and two basins, and water resources are relatively scarce.

In addition, the problem of land desertification is quite serious, and it is almost impossible to find a whole piece of land that meets your requirements."

Governor Zhang interjected at the right time, “Just like the more than one million tons of cotton you commissioned to be planted, they were also planted in many places in the Western Regions in a similar distribution.

How can a single piece of land possibly undertake such a big task? You should also think about the positive side. With the expansion of the area, the transportation company can also take on the additional transportation demand in the local area.

With your scale advantage, isn't it as easy to participate in market competition as to pick up money?"

Li Zehua thought about it and it made sense. He hit the snake with a stick and said sweetly, "Hey, thank you Uncle Zhang for taking care of me. Let's get rich together."

Governor Zhang glared at him angrily, "Mr. Li, it's enough for you to make money. We just want to do something practical..."

The chief of staff got permission and added, "Mr. Li, can the investment ratio of this investment company, which is mainly composed of the Western Region Yamen and the Construction Governor's Office, be reduced a little bit?
The fiscal expenditure of 150 billion in three years is very stressful. Now everyone is waiting for the rice to be cooked. We are not landlords, and we don’t have any surplus food at home.”

They keep complaining about being poor. To put it bluntly, they are jealous of the huge amount of funds in the overseas accounts controlled by Li Zehua, with cash in US dollars alone amounting to more than 50 billion ( billion of which are loans).

The remaining Euros, British Pounds and Singapore Dollars are also over 10 digits. Who wouldn’t be confused and want to take a bite?

"Don't bully honest people."

Li Zehua looked at him warily, then put on a bitter face, "This money is not mine alone, one third is a bank loan, and the rest has someone else.

It was agreed that both parties would hold 45% of the shares each, and the employees and management would hold 10%. I even distributed the shares of Qingyun Agriculture, Fengniao, and Yunyunbang's Western Region branch.

They also agreed that the Western Region Province would use its resources and a total investment of 30% to get a 45% stake. This has already put a lot of pressure on investors to be held accountable. If they give in again, they might have to go back to the Magic City.

It will be eaten up by investors.”

After thinking about it, he felt that since they had just helped to withstand the pressure of stopping the fake drugs, it would be inappropriate to be too blunt, so he said, "How about I take a step back and you can convert resources such as land contract fees into it.

How about directly calculating it as shares to reduce the pressure of investment? "

Governor Zhang shook his head and said, "This involves the distribution of benefits among 11 division-level units. The higher-ups have also made arrangements for this matter. In the next five years, everyone from top to bottom will depend on this money to make a living.

Converting it into shares can certainly reduce the investment ratio, but at the same time, they have no motivation to continue to promote the implementation of the plan. "

He saw clearly that each division-level unit had its own calculations, because agricultural investment had a slow effect and high risk, and the dividends from shares might not be much.

It would be better to collect a land transfer contract fee every year regardless of drought or flood. Anyway, the investment costs will be borne by the Western Region Province and Yanjing.

If the risk is shared through shares, these people might quit.

Li Zehua sighed, "It's so hard to do something."

"Who says it isn't?"

Governor Zhang echoed this and sighed, "It's a pity that the Western Regions don't have the good locational advantages of Hunan Province and can't support large-scale industries..."

“It’s not impossible, at least we can arrange some processing of raw materials for the textile industry and future garment manufacturing.

On the one hand, this place is close to the main cotton producing area, and investing in setting up a factory will help reduce logistics costs.

During the cotton picking season, hundreds of thousands of laborers from Sichuan, Gansu, Qinghai and Shaanxi provinces come here every year. After the cotton harvest, they return to their hometowns.

If we can solve some of the labor jobs through textile factories and solve some through other specialty planting and breeding, and provide long-term jobs, can we change the local structure?"

Li Zehua's investment in Western Region was not a whim. One reason was to expand the group's influence, and the other was because there were mission requirements from above.

"On the other hand, this place borders Central Asia. Although the market in this region is not very large, its geographical location is very important. If we can find a breakthrough through cotton trade,

Their country's agricultural and sideline products and various mineral resources are continuously transported to the country through the Western Regions, and some simple semi-finished product processing is carried out in the Western Regions.

Can we win them over economically and stabilize them, so that after a few decades, the Western Regions can achieve long-term peace and stability? "Governor Zhang was very satisfied with his overall view, "Make a complete industry planning report, if it is feasible, I will include it in the next work report."

"Okay, it just so happens that the cotton price has skyrocketed this time, and some textile companies in Shandong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang have no work to do. If all goes well, I will be responsible for coordinating a group of small and medium-sized enterprise owners to come here in September and October."

Li Zehua was very familiar with these things, he felt no pressure at all, and he was confident that he could accomplish this task...

"Qingyun Group is coming with great momentum this time, and they are determined to win."

In Pengcheng, the bosses of the first-tier manufacturers in the home appliance industry gathered together for a meeting with only one theme.

How to respond to Qingyun Group’s smart home appliance plan.

As one of the initiators, Li Dongsheng first briefly introduced the situation and said in a deep voice:

The fact that Fang Guohui, the director of Chizuome, was responsible for contacting the manufacturer was itself strange.

I asked Mr. Li about setting up a sales agency, and he explained that this was Mr. Fang’s personal behavior and had nothing to do with the company.”

"What a personal act."

Ms. Dong was dismissive of this. “At that time, Fang Guohui also approached Gree and made many promises, wanting to take over Gree’s sales channels for Pinxixi, but I did not agree.

Now it seems that this Fang guy has no good intentions. He just wants to drag us into this and create opportunities for Qingyun Group to catch us all in one fell swoop.

Now that Fang is dead, he has left behind a lot of trouble. The misappropriation of mortgage funds alone amounted to 13 billion yuan, involving 35 companies, half of which are in financial difficulties because of this.”

Mr. He of Midea also spoke up, "The company that did OEM for Midea was also involved this time and was defrauded of more than 40 million yuan. Old Li, do you think there is any way to get it back from him?"

Li Dongsheng shook his head. "From the beginning to the end, only Fang Guohui came forward. All matters were handled by him. Now that he is dead, it is probably impossible to get the money from Qingyun.

What's more, Fang was engaged in speculation, and his money went out through different channels. Now he was forced to close his positions and owed the securities company tens of millions. Not only did these invested companies lose all their money.

There is also the risk of being sued. In addition, I heard that the amount of money involved is not the 13 billion yuan, and there are still many things that have not been investigated about the agency sales company. Only God knows how big the hole is. "

Seeing that everyone was frowning, he quickly changed the subject, "Before coming here, the person who entrusted BOE, Mr. Wang Dongsheng, came out to say hello, saying that it was okay if he didn't want him to acquire second- and third-tier manufacturers.

We each contribute money to buy these factories, hold shares together, and produce OEM smart home appliances for Qingyun Group.

And we must strictly distinguish between online and offline brand series. If you disagree, he will personally get involved in the home appliance manufacturing industry."

"What kind of hero is he?"

Mr. Huang of Skyworth could not stand it. “If he dares to enter the market, we will join forces to drive him out. I want to make it clear here that Skyworth will never accept Qingyun Group’s competition.

If he really wants to acquire second- and third-tier factories and do it himself, then we will work together to cut off Pinxixi's supply chain so that it has no big brands to sell.

Without the support of everyone here, I don’t believe Pinxixi can maintain its current super high development speed. At worst, we can contribute money together to build a township sales system.

Didn’t Mr. He also take out 3 million yuan to build franchise stores in towns and villages? I still don’t believe that with so many big bosses here, they can’t create a second Pinxixi?”

As he spoke, he asked Rongsheng CEO Pan Lin for his opinion. Pan Lin shook his head and said, "Don't say anything angry. Pinxixi is not so easy to successfully copy. Its sales data is skyrocketing every day.

As far as I know, in just one year, 1/10 of the sales channels of everyone here have been controlled by Pinxixi. Everyone is doing business to make money, not to compete with each other.

If we can sit down and talk things out with Qingyun Group and reach a condition acceptable to all parties, we may be able to achieve a win-win cooperation.”

"Old Pan, your cooperation with Mr. Li is quite good. I heard that 1/4 of Rongsheng refrigerators' sales channels are through Pinxixi. No wonder you are still speaking well of Qingyun here."

Some people were not happy about this and tried to put pressure on Changhong CEO Zhao, "Oh, by the way, I forgot there is a plasma TV king who eats all the food here. What are you two planning to do here today?
To sabotage, or to be someone else's pawn?"

Director Zhao was not angry at all. Instead, he burst into laughter. "Don't worry about that, President Xia. Changhong's recent sales data is very good. I came to the meeting to tell you all about it.

Changhong is back, and we should have a share in the LCD TV market."

It seemed that they were about to quarrel again.

Li Dongsheng quickly stepped forward to interrupt, "Let's talk about how to deal with Qingyun Group's involvement in the home appliance manufacturing industry. If there is any conflict, I have no objection even if it involves a fight."

However, everyone here has his or her own plans. They say that they will join forces to fight the epidemic together, but when they actually leave the door, how many of them can make up their minds to sever cooperation with Pinxixi?
Seeing that no one was talking, Li Dongsheng could only continue to ask, "Do you agree to produce OEM smart home appliances for Qingyun Group?"

When this topic was brought up, Skyworth CEO Huang was unhappy, "By bringing this up, isn't that a disguised way of bowing your head?
If we can do OEM today and we have to accept him as a shareholder tomorrow, will we all be kicked out the day after tomorrow?"

Compromising with Qingyun is actually profitable. For example, producing smart home appliances with control chips can indirectly improve the technological content of the products, which will help increase sales prices and brand value.

The key is that most of the benefits here will be taken away by Qingyun Group, such as startup advertisements and the initiative of remote control software, which are all in Qingyun's hands.

Li Zehua is ambitious and wants to develop instant messaging software. He is willing to make a big fuss for this purpose and make a series of moves. To put it bluntly, he is using his size advantage to force manufacturing companies to make concessions.

This will allow WeChat Technology to establish an offline Internet application ecosystem that covers all aspects of consumers' daily lives, including food, clothing, housing, transportation, spiritual entertainment, etc.

If he succeeds, how will home appliance companies survive in the future?
They worked hard to invest in R&D and build sales channels, but in the end they were held hostage by a chip?
What if I fall out with Qingyun one day, won’t I be caught in an instant?

In the past, it was nothing more than changing the sales channels. Relying on the brand's long-standing popularity and unique technology, it could still be successful and connected to the Qingyun smart home appliance strategy.

Let consumers experience the convenience of Qingyun's entire family package and enjoy convenient online and offline life with the help of a mobile phone, then manufacturing companies that leave this system and develop independently will be eliminated.

What else can we use to attract consumers?
Everyone present clearly understood this logic. Qing Yun used Fang Guohui to kill a group of second- and third-tier manufacturers, and took the opportunity to force everyone to agree to join his smart home appliance plan.

Either spend money to compete with Qingyun Group and buy the controlling stake of these factories to prevent them from falling into Qingyun's hands.

“There is no point in buying a factory. With him raising the price, everyone will have to spend a lot of money to achieve their goals.

The most critical thing is that the equipment in these factories is also not good and is incompatible with our product line. After purchasing it, we have to spend extra money to debug and upgrade it, which is equivalent to making a duplicate investment.

Qingyun Group has also made it clear that everyone is welcome to participate in the competition. In any case, if any company does not agree to join the smart home appliance plan, they will gradually terminate the cooperation. "

Li Dongsheng finally added, "By the way, he is very rich now, and he has directly said that if anyone has any objections, they will give up investing in BOE Semiconductor's Pengcheng production line.

He also did not object and prepared the corresponding funds to buy out our shares at any time."

TV manufacturers are the most embarrassed because domestic screens are the most important components in TV production, once accounting for 80% of the cost, and everyone is familiar with foreign brands.

They often threaten to ask for exorbitant prices, and everyone is forced to compromise due to lack of technology and channels. If they fall out with Qingyun, the other party will turn around and support their own company and hold the killer weapon of screens.

If a fight breaks out, I'm afraid we'll kill 800 enemies but lose 3,000 of our own.

"We can't come to any conclusion by talking here. We need to confirm it with Li Zehua himself. If he doesn't want us to survive, then don't say anything and get ready for war."

Midea's CEO He couldn't stand the endless wrangling and said directly: "He has been hiding outside and not meeting us, so let's go and block him directly."

"I think it's fine. Let's confront him face to face and make him give an explanation!" (End of this chapter)
