With things on his mind, he tossed and turned. For the ** Zhang Yu, many things now seem suspicious. Why did Cheng Ran show up at the sword-fighting conference? Cheng Ran used the alias "Chen Lei" and worked with him as a shadow partner to establish Huazhang Software. Looking back on the history of Huazhang Software since its establishment, Zhang Yu had to admire Cheng Ran's ability to give advice behind the scenes, such as the construction of the internal system that he had always emphasized.
By attaching importance to the finance department and controlling it, the management will have the ability to control the overall financial situation of the entire company, have a backbone for the construction of the internal control system, and have better means of preventing financial risks. Secondly, the framework for the distribution system and the division of powers among agents are initially drawn up.
At first, Zhang Yu didn't know how useful this framework would be. But Huazhang Software set sail, found the market, and rode the wind and waves. All kinds of storms came, and there were temptations from all directions. After receiving the funds, similar software industries immediately started mortgage loans and capital operations, and then snowballed to expand themselves.
During this process, Huazhang Software did not do so. Instead, it used the funds to consolidate the internal and external distribution systems, build defenses, and strengthen its core business of educational software. Huazhang Software was once overwhelmed by the outside world's noise, and even Zhang Yu himself doubted whether this was right. He decided to do the same as his peers and quickly obtain mortgage loans from banks for capital operations. After the dust settled, the industry leader was torn apart by internal management problems due to rapid expansion, and then abandoned its core business and made a series of stupid moves, entering e-commerce and catering, and then looking for steel companies to restructure and withdraw 600 million yuan from the capital market. This prosperity did not last long, and because of continuous strategic operational errors and depletion of corporate resources, it quickly declined.
The company that stood up at this time was Huazhang Software, which was not originally outstanding in the industry but survived by steady and solid efforts.
Later, as Zhang Yu had more contact with the company, he realized that the direction of Huazhang Software was a bit like Oracle's layout. Compared with Oracle, Huazhang was more familiar with the Chinese market and the advantages of Chinese software. In the future, Huazhang also planned to launch its own Chinese office software to counter Microsoft's office software, which had many inconveniences in the localization process.
Now there are financial columns analyzing Huazhang, saying that although Huazhang’s external market attack capabilities may not be that outstanding, its internal system construction has given it too many expectations and surprises.
As for most of the internal system construction of Huazhang, Cheng Ran planned and helped behind the scenes. Thinking about it now, Zhang Yu was still shocked to learn that Cheng Ran was the "boss". You have to know that when Huazhang was founded, Cheng Ran, who gave advice behind the scenes, was just a high school student. What kind of ability can make him have a deep understanding of marketing, finance, and internal control, and then there are people and resources around him like Lin Xiaosong and Zhao Qing.
Could it be that he could do it just because he was Cheng Feiyang's son? There were so many second-generation entrepreneurs in their families, and apart from those who were rumored, there was no one who could achieve this ability at such a young age.
After finally making it till dawn, Zhang Yu moved around for a while and called his assistant to ask him to bring a few more people over when the conference was over. This was done out of consideration for Cheng Ran's safety, as well as some things that needed to be dealt with immediately. He discussed it with his "partner" again. When it was almost eight o'clock, Zhang Yu pushed the door open, went to Cheng Ran's floor, called him, and prepared to get Cheng Ran up to eat. After hearing some public opinions yesterday, he thought it would be best to take care of Cheng Ran from now on.
Cheng Ran answered the phone and asked him to go directly to the room. He knocked on the door and there was a voice from inside saying "I am coming!" but it was not Cheng Ran's. Then the door opened. Looking at the person who opened the door, Zhang Yu was stunned. It turned out to be Boss Ma, the organizer of the conference.
"Mr. Zhang from Huazhang Software... please come in, please come in!" He said with a smile and let the person in.
Zhang Yu only then realized that there were quite a few people in Cheng Ran's room.
There was a dining cart in the room, and breakfast was delivered. Cheng Ran's room was not big, just medium in size, but it had a small living room. At this moment, there were many people standing and sitting on the sofa in the living room and on the coffee table next to it. The CEO of an Internet company named Zhang Chaoyang nodded at him, then took a steamed bun directly from the dining cart and talked while chewing it.
There was a peaceful and cheerful atmosphere in the room.
There were talkative people in the room, some who were observing the people talking, and some who were gentle and smiling but not saying anything but just listening to the conversation. Xie Qian, the CEO of Tonglang, said loudly, "I brought some good Dahongpao tea. I didn't sleep well yesterday and I drank a lot of wine. I used to take wolfberries every day to maintain my health. It's been a long time since I did this. I'm mainly happy. Who needs hot water?"
Some declined politely, some asked for tea, and some laughed and scolded, "Just mix the hot water yourself. Old Ding was scared of you drinking it yesterday. Give me the kettle, I'll boil some more! I have to go on stage soon, so I'd like to taste your tea to moisten my throat..."
This is a scene of the floating world on earth.
Zhang Yu walked in and suddenly felt something was unreal.
He once told people that he was invited here and could only be considered a "medium-level hero" or "small hero", while about half of the "big heroes" who were the heads of various famous Internet companies were in this room.
In another hour and a half, they will appear as guests of the conference, where the media are all watching and even former US President Clinton is invited. There they will discuss the Internet world, the theme of which is "the world", and talk about the world's Internet affairs and the future pattern.
And in the gap of time on the way to the venue
They are all here.
It's just like any other ordinary people's gathering.
Someone said, "Everyone is here today, let's take a picture." So everyone, in different positions, looked towards the camera, and the picture was taken. Among all the big guys in the room, only Zhang Yu looked a little panicked... He hadn't had breakfast yet.
This is also the most widely circulated photo from that year.
…
Liu Gao had the habit of jogging in the morning. When he came back from a run, his secretary called him. Liu Gao's face darkened when he answered the phone. After returning to his room and taking a shower, his secretary had already arrived. On the table was an open laptop with documents in hand. The secretary reported an emergency. The incident started last night. Posts related to the Guoxin incident appeared again on the forums of several well-known Internet sites.
But this time the focus is not on the dispute between Guoxin and Cheng Ran's team at USTC, but on other information. The projects of several domestic science and technology industrial parks, all of which were acquired by his Nanxing Group, Liu Gao, relying on industrial policies and local support. The big banner raised... is the Chen Yue Guoxin project, which is now at the center of controversy!
In addition to this post, there were also media reports that were freshly released the next day and the leading media was the economic report that Liu Gao was most familiar with!
This media outlet, which has been at the forefront since the Guoxin incident, has reported explosive news again, involving the so-called "high-tech industrial park" projects that have been booming in dozens of provinces and cities across the country. The information behind them shows that under the pursuit of local governments, there must be the shadow of Nanxing Group and Liugao's activities.
The connections between Liu Gao, Chen Yue, Guoxin, and Nanxing Group were connected in this way!
A related data investigation shows that the companies linked to these local government industrial parks are all very suspicious. The listed companies involved have more or less formed a shareholding relationship with Nanxing Group, forming a huge interest group. This means that if Liu Gao and his Guoxin and these industrial parks are getting more and more popular, then the profits obtained by these preliminary investigations, which are not included in dozens of related companies, will be astronomical when added up!
What is this operation
What is the real inside story of Guoxin
The most eye-catching thing in the entire report is this gripping question at the end.
The post appeared the day before, and the report came out the next day.
Liu Gao received constant private calls, most of which were from Chang'an Association for its reaction to the news.
The Chang'an Society has also taken action. Liu Gao must suppress the spread of this report in the shortest possible time and at the same time dig out the source behind it.
After a series of transfers, Liu Gao intuitively felt that something was wrong with the current situation. Judging from the economic reports and the questions directly pointing to Guoxin, who is behind this
Cheng Ran? Not even that capable. This guy is almost done for. Now he is being trampled into the mud, like a rat crossing the street, unable to cause any trouble.
Moreover, although the capital operation behind Liugao is gray, there has always been a lot of room for operation and it is not so easy to be nailed down.
As long as the foundation of Guoxin remains intact, the science and technology parks and commercial buildings behind them can continue to "expand" vigorously. Not only will he be able to devour the capital market, but it is no exaggeration to say that he will become the largest "IT landlord" in the national business community.
The interests of all parties are involved here.
Regardless of whether someone wants to use Cheng Ran to shake this possibility and muddy the waters, they have underestimated his toughness. So what is needed now is to find the clues of these troubles as quickly as possible and take thundering measures.
But the biggest problem now is that the connection between him and Chen Yue Guoxin has been exposed to the public.
Countless phone calls were being made and countless lines were running. At this moment in the Emeishan State Guesthouse, the Sword Discussion Conference was just around the corner. Liu Gao arranged everything first, then got up and headed for the venue. The whole process was of the highest standard, and he was accompanied by provincial officials. He would have a dialogue with Clinton at this conference and become the focus of the media. This arrangement was made through official pressure, and even the boss of the organizer of this Sword Discussion Conference could not disobey.
As Liu Gao entered the venue, it was obvious that the media had already received the news that had just been revealed. Many cameras turned over and media people flocked over here.
When Lv Jie saw the turmoil caused by Liu Gao's appearance at the venue, he felt his blood rushing to his head. He had heard about the actions of Chang'an Association through his boss Zhang Maosen. Someone was planning to take over Chairman Liu. The entire Chang'an Association was in action. Even those who were not directly related would make a phone call to show their loyalty. As a member of the circle, it was naturally time to build relationships, express greetings and talk. Lv Jie, who was exposed to all this, still had those phone calls made by Chairman Zhang Maosen, a member of Chang'an Association, in front of him. He knew the energy mobilized behind this. The reason why Zhang Maosen, as the chairman of the group, did not avoid him was because he was chosen by Liu Gao. Just thinking about it, he felt dizzy and breathless.
When meeting Chairman Liu, although there is pressure from his status, the overall atmosphere is still relaxed. With these bigwigs attending the meeting, it is like strolling in the street. Wherever they go, they are given green lights and everything is given priority. Only when faced with such a situation, facing the measures taken by this interest group with such energy, the connections of all parties, and the movements in society, will even a well-informed reporter like Lu Jie feel his blood boiling.
This is the real sword-fighting conference. The theme of this sword-fighting conference is "the world", and the protagonist at the moment is, of course, Mr. Liu, who looks down on the world and can call the wind and rain.
Lu Jie had indeed thought about what he would write in the newspapers after today, that is, starting from today's sword-fighting conference, it would take another 20 years for a leader like Mr. Liu to appear here! But by then, would this so-called Davos of the Internet still exist
Reporters have gathered around, and some TV stations have even pointed their cameras at him. One reporter asked, "President Liu, I heard that you will have a dialogue with former US President Clinton today. What will your discussion include?"
"I have had contact with former President Clinton before. Although he is from the United States, he actually pays more attention to the world. He hopes to see that Chinese investors are welcomed in the United States and American investors are welcomed in China. So he reminds us that we should all think about one issue, that is, how we should come together and how we should cooperate. It is a good thing to talk about the Internet today. One of the great things about the Internet is information sharing. Information sharing is global, and China should be more open. At the same time, it should also be a revelation for our enterprises. We are transitioning from a planned economy to a market economy. Enterprises must be market-oriented, and marketization must be international and borderless."
Although the news about the connection between Guoxin, High-tech Industrial Park and Liugao has been exposed, these reporters have more or less received the news, but because they were warned, even though they knew the truth, no one asked questions about it. They are all waiting for the follow-up of the situation and can only focus on the sword-fighting conference itself.
Someone continued to ask, "Clinton is a former president, and Mr. Liu is a representative of Chinese entrepreneurs. Will there be many sparks in today's heavyweight dialogue? For example, Mr. Liu, are you going to make more moves in the Internet field? Isn't it a little late at this time?"
Liu Gao smiled, “Our company holds a strategy-making meeting every year, and we like to compare ourselves to a ship at sea, following the nautical chart.
The so-called following the nautical chart means to see where our target is going. The most important thing is to look at the current situation of the nautical chart, where the ship is, and whether it is suitable for high-speed sailing. High-speed sailing sometimes means the danger of capsizing, so we are not afraid of being late, we only look at the opportunity.
I have been running a business for 25 years. Many famous entrepreneurs have received awards on the same stage with me. Looking back today, most of them, or even the vast majority of them, have disappeared and fallen from power.
There are probably two reasons for being dismissed. One is that they turned a period of smooth sailing into a pattern, and then developed in this way, which caused a heavy blow to their business. The other is that they were not clear enough about the economic situation, and said things they shouldn’t have said, did things they shouldn’t have done, and violated laws and regulations too early. These are all reminders to us! ”
The camera is facing the reporter who is quickly recording the situation and forming a manuscript.
It seems like advice, but it is actually domineering!
Just these few words revealed the demeanor of this rumored Chairman Liu.
During this conversation, the many Internet unicorns attending the Sword Conference today... are all just young people.
As the only person who can compete with Clinton, and a person who has outlasted many Chinese pioneers and entrepreneurs in history, he is the biggest focus of this debate. The Internet is a sunrise industry. Today, the so-called debate and the so-called Internet world are just childhood and juniors.
People were all moved.
The Shushan Sword Contest has caused another storm. It seems that apart from Clinton, the only one in the spotlight today is Chairman Liu.
The conference started on time, Liu Gao took a seat in the front row. Boss Ma, who was on the cover of Forbes magazine, just made a quick opening remark, "There are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in China's Internet, I won't embarrass myself in this," and then sat down, being very low-key.
Jin Daxia came on stage as the host and his opening remarks were "Those who fish on the Internet will take the bait if they are willing". After he finished, there was constant applause and the warm-up reached its climax.
Then came the roundtable meeting, where new Internet elites came on stage and debated under the chairmanship of Mr. Jin, including Xie Qian of Tonglang, Zhang Chaoyang of SOHO, Ding Lei of Wangyi, Li Mingshi of CQ, and Cheng Qi of Lianzhong.
Round table discussion.
Everyone talked about their entrepreneurial experience, how they broke out of the lingering Internet bubble, and competition. Several bigwigs among them had clashed with each other. Xie Qian also mentioned the lawsuit between Tonglang and SOHO, saying that Tonglang sued first, saying that they copied our portal news, which Tonglang had exclusive copyright to. They also copied the design of mobile phone pictures, and then they counter-sued. The two sides then quarreled with each other, refuted each other, and clashed back and forth. Finally, the common investors on both sides negotiated a settlement.
Zhang Chaoyang smiled and said, "I think this industry also had a lot of fighting in the beginning, but in the end everyone grew up and relied on the fighting in the beginning to form the norms of the industry. It's like a circle. This circle has formed industry rules, which can be broken, but generally they are not easily broken."
When talking about games again, everyone also talked about the unreasonable way that the hooligan Li Mingshi used instant messaging to bind game users, and discussed the supervision of children playing games. Everyone then discussed the value-added services of telecommunications. Some obscure and industry insider information was involved in front of the public, which opened the eyes of many people and inspired them.
After the roundtable meeting, it was time for questions. Many reporters keenly grasped a point in the conversation. Someone raised his hand and got the microphone and stood up to ask, "The big guys are very excited to talk about the Internet situation. It can be seen that there is no lack of swords and swords, which is fascinating. This is the world of martial arts! I am just very curious, and I believe that everyone is also very interested. That is, who is the common investor who settled the lawsuit between Tonglang and SHOU mentioned by Mr. Xie and Mr. Zhang just now? I wonder if it is convenient to disclose it?"
Xie Qian and Zhang Chaoyang on the stage were both smiling but silent. Xie Qian picked up the microphone and smiled and responded to the reporter, "Don't worry, let us keep it a secret... After this, everyone should know."
Countless people in the audience suddenly became interested.
Considering the current stock valuations of the two companies and the current status of China's Internet, who could have jointly invested in two companies, and who seems to be a minor shareholder? The vision and considerations of this person revealed behind this may be another big news today.
Clinton, the mysterious investor, the finale of this conference is really refreshing!
Ordinary people just imagine and feel fascinated, while industry insiders and media people are mobilized and excited, all their sensitive points are touched, their eyes and ears are released, and as for those in the capital circle, their hearts are moved. Some people who want to enter but cannot enter are all itching for the coveted cake.
Liu Gao pricked up his ears, and the people from the Chang'an Society exchanged glances. Predators are very sensitive to interests, and they are very jealous when they see the fat meat in other people's eyes.
They, the latecomers, have to rely on Liu Gao's prestige to get the meat in the cracks, while the pioneers can eat the meat and drink the soup and share the dividends.
This question is thrown out here and becomes a bait that hooks people's minds, making people look forward to the subsequent revelations again and again.
The roundtable discussion was over, and then it was time for the finale, the keynote speech by former President Clinton.
This raised the security of today's venue to the highest level. The former US president, who you had no idea where he was before he appeared, walked in from the front door accompanied by intense pipa background music, escorted by six or seven security guards, causing a sensation and flashes of light.
This former politician and orator who was embroiled in scandals on this topic is indeed an expert at it. His demeanor was easy-going and humorous, and he was quite free and easy-going with a humorous tone. He mainly gave an overall speech, in which he talked about the need to be cautious about the appreciation of the RMB as China's exports continue to grow, as that could create risks outside the banking system, and lead to a situation like Japan's economic downturn that took a decade to recover. He then spoke about energy and the possible contribution that the Internet's sharing system could make to regional and even global balance. Ultimately, he hoped to promote sharing and mutual cooperation.
The speech won loud applause. Liu Gao adjusted his bow tie. According to the procedure, it would be the finale of the powerful dialogue. He would go on stage as the finale heavyweight guest and sit on equal footing with Clinton.
Next, the host, who was a professor from Peking University, announced the charity arrangements for President Clinton's trip, which was one of the core themes of the Shushan Sword Conference: it would be led by several major domestic Internet companies, and would utilize the advantages of Internet companies in corporate organization, talent management models, talent attraction capabilities, capital operations, and industrial chain collaboration, and use the strengths of Chinese Internet companies to jointly make up for the hardware shortcomings of China's Internet and initiate the establishment of a "Hardware Alliance"!
Liu Gao turned around and looked at the official who was in charge of the docking process. The official also explained with a grim face, "Director Liu... I don't know about this either..."
News was released one after another, bombarding the entire venue like bombs.
Led by CQ, Alibaba, Lianzhong, and Tonglang, the leading domestic companies in various fields, they have made strategic investments in Hanwu Technology, a chip research and development company of USTC, through capital and equity swaps!
Unveiled!
When everyone learned this information, they were stunned at first and looked at each other in confusion. What kind of company is Hanwu Technology? Where did this magical power come from
Clinton was able to endorse it, and these Internet giants took action at the same time. Just think about it, and you can see the execution and influence behind it. Some people are already thinking about it. As long as you check, it is estimated that this is definitely a state-owned company.
Someone in the audience said, "This is the Chinese version of the 'VLSI Project'!"
Facing the inquiring gaze of the people around him, the IT practitioner said, "In 1976... Japan, led by the government, joined forces with the major Japanese manufacturing giants at the time, Hitachi, NEC, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi, and Toshiba, and with subsidies from the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, raised nearly 100 billion yen to establish the VLSI Technology Research Institute to develop very large-scale integrated circuits through a national system. Five years later, hundreds of joint patents and thousands of industrial patents were obtained, greatly improving Japan's overall integrated circuit level. Ten years later, Japan was far ahead in the DRAM field, occupying 80% of the US and Japanese market share..."
"Later, the United States fell behind and started a trade war, pushing Japan's semiconductor industry into decline..."
"That time, it was the Japanese government that took the lead and the whole country competed. This time... is it the country that takes the lead?"
Everyone looked towards the stage again, where former US President Clinton was. The technical speech he had just delivered was themed "sharing resources and technological cooperation", implementing the spirit of the Internet. Now, one of China's top Internet companies has released another major news, establishing a hardware alliance and jointly investing in and holding shares in Hanwu Technology!
This is one of the significances of such a Shushan Sword Conference, to utilize the resources of the Internet to make up for the domestic shortcomings and provide a strategic stronghold for the domestic Internet!
Just Hanwu!
Why is he called Han Wu
Next, a sensitive topic: HKUST, HKUST again?!
When the host said "Please welcome the founder of Hanwu Technology", Liu Gao, who had already been excluded from the process, and several leading members of the Chang'an Association around him suddenly narrowed their eyes. Countless people gathered and looked in the direction of the unveiling of this heavy information that could not be more finale.
Shocked by the news, the reporters, who were in the process of digesting the information, raised their cameras and faced the man who appeared at the entrance of the hallway.
When Liu Gao saw the person coming, he felt as if he had been hit by a club and his head started buzzing.
Zhang Yu was sitting in the crowd, listening to the screams and cheers from people around him. He felt like the blood was about to spurt out of his forehead.
He never imagined that the young man who he had tried every means to hide yesterday, not to be exposed in such a public occasion so as not to be recognized and criticized by thousands of people, and who was torn apart by the storm in the outside world, would appear there like this, facing the light and flash lights in the hall, and in a way that no one could have imagined, he walked up to the stage where the big guys were waiting.
Just like being trapped in the tide of the Earth-Moon system, Zhang Yu felt that he was now drifting with the tide. Amid the voices of those around him saying, "He's a young man! He's not very old! He is the founder of Hanwu Technology?", it seemed as if his soul was thrown off the ground and drifting with the tide.
I don’t dare to think about it anymore. I’m going to die soon…
Then there was an even louder uproar.
People listened attentively to the host's introduction.
The name is indeed "Cheng Ran"!
He is also the one that people pass on as a “gigolo”, a “heroic father and a bastard son”, and a “hookup of celebrities to cheat them of their money and sex”, and now he has been portrayed as the one who “defiled the dragon girl Yin Zhiping”, the one from USTC... Cheng Ran!
The chip that was rumored to be plagiarized by Guoxin has never had a name, so much so that people once thought it only existed in the laboratory. The chips were uniformly called the "USTC Cheng Ran team chip".
Today at the Shushan Sword Competition venue... One sword lights up the nineteen states.
It's called Hanwu.
The Emperor Taizong of Tang and the Emperor Taizu of Song, the Emperor Wu of Qin and the Emperor Wu of Han.
…
After a moment, Guo Fuxing, the first hunter of Chang'an Club beside Liu Gao, reacted and rushed to the stage to speak bluntly, "This is incredible. We admit that this call is good, but don't we consider the actual situation at the moment? Excuse me, as far as I know, the chip field is a very high-end field, which requires money to be spent on research regardless of cost. Many things need to be accumulated, and there will be no income for a long time. How many companies in the world can spend money like this?! If Alibaba wants to play like this, can the major shareholders agree? If CQ wants to play like this, can the major shareholders agree? Lianzhong and Tonglang, can they afford it? Don't you give an explanation to the shareholders? National sentiment is important, but we still have to be soberly aware that companies are profit-seeking first!"
Li Mingshi, who was standing on the stage, looked at Liu Gao, Guo Fuxing and others in the first row, and then at the many people who were called out during the performance, who were also looking at him with doubts and questions, and said, "This... we..."
"I agree."
Wow.
Boss Ma expressed his opinion, "It benefits the country and the people. This is the spirit of our great heroes. I fully support it!"
Xie Qian looked at everyone, picked up the microphone, and said, "When I mentioned the lawsuit between me and Lao Zhang, did anyone ask us who Xiang was settling the case with?"
Below, countless eyes began to stiffen and ears perked up.
At this moment, everyone's hearts were filled with shock, surprise, and astonishment, with strange expressions on their faces.
Because in everyone's sight, Xie Qianchong shrugged in the direction of the young man.
…
During the Shushan Sword Contest that year, the red leaves of Mount Emei were like fire, flying all over the mountain.
This is the season to burn.
Yesterday, the first group was blocked for some reason (drive slowly), and now the new first and third groups are announced. If you have joined the second group, don't join it, to save space for book friends.
