rebirth of cataclysm

Hu Mingchen and the others had other lands in the Guanyin Mountain area. Hu Mingchen had always planned to hide it from Luo Haocai, but now that he was willing to take the initiative to reveal it to him, it was a last resort.

There are two reasons. First, Luo Haocai not only lent himself generously, but 80 million was not a small amount. In addition, Luo Haocai spared no effort in dealing with Jiang Yongtong. Since the relationship was close, Hu Mingchen felt that he should continue

It would be a bit unethical to conceal it. Secondly, also

The more important reason is that if Hu Mingchen and the others want to sell the land including the brick factory, they will have to ask Luo Haocai for help. Since the time will be unexpected, it is better to pay the price now, and maybe they can sell it directly to Gongfu.

It was a profitable company, so Hu Mingchen said that he would offset the debt.

Hu Mingchen's counterattack was not only aimed at Jiang Yongtong, but also at Li Minghui's side. However, relatively speaking, Li Minghui's side was more troublesome.

Hu Mingchen is not willing to go to that step to directly use violence against Li Minghui, because once something happens to Li Minghui, it will be a big deal for both the government and the superiors. After all, behind Li Minghui is the Chinese rich Li Ranhao.

If we want to use economic power to attack, Hu Mingchen is still a little weak. Whether it is through malicious mergers and acquisitions or short selling in the stock market, we need very strong strength, and this strength should preferably be able to withstand Li Ranhao's intervention.

, otherwise, it is very likely that the attempt will be in vain.

If force is not enough, softness is not strong enough, then after much deliberation, Hu Mingchen can only use a secret move, and this move is also very risky. If it fails, it will most likely cause backlash on himself.

After meeting Luo Haocai and Jin Fukuan in Zhennan, he took a red-eye flight to Pengcheng overnight.

Hu Mingchen's return to Pengcheng has nothing to do with Penguin Technology or Pengbo Electronics.

At Pengbo Electronics, after receiving sufficient financial support, the R&D team led by He Xin is working day and night to further technical research on that product. In order to make up for the company's shortcomings in many aspects, He Xin is looking for external experts.

We have more than fifty software and hardware engineers.

Some of these engineers are fresh graduates with master's and doctorate degrees from key universities, and a few are directly recruited from major electronics factories around Pengcheng.

In order to find useful people, with Hu Mingchen's consent, He Xin even paid two headhunting companies a commission of 500,000 each, asking them to help find people.

Although a total of one million funds is not low for the current cost of finding people, in order to make a breakthrough in technology, Hu Mingchen feels that this price is well worth it. In the future, for top talents in some key fields, other than

One million means ten million. As long as he can dig it out for his own use, Hu Mingchen won't begrudge it and doesn't care.

Hu Mingchen sees clearly that as long as the core technology can be mastered, the benefits gained from technology are the most cost-effective.

As for Penguin Technology, even though Hu Mingchen failed to persuade him several times, Ma Jiahao still tried his best to lead the industry involved in e-commerce. Paipai.com has been successfully launched. To this end, Penguin Technology has established a separate wholly-owned company

A wholly-owned subsidiary of the company, Luo Ming was fully responsible as the president, and a team of several hundred people was transferred from Penguin Technology.

After Ma Jiahao set up Paipai.com, Hu Mingchen learned from the side that the reason why Ma Jiahao stubbornly tried to establish an e-commerce platform alone was because he received stimulation.

It is said that they held a forum meeting on the future development plan of the Internet industry in Beijing again. During the meeting, several top Internet company bosses sat together for dinner. Ma Jiahao of Penguin Technology and Li Hongjie, the boss of Aniu Company, were of the same type.

The leaders in the enterprise are naturally present here.

At the dinner table, Li Hongjie boasted to Haikou that the future Internet world will be dominated by e-commerce. No matter how we do it, we must have something to do with e-commerce in order to be profitable and survive.

Not only that, Li Hongjie also predicted that in the future Chinese market, no matter which company participates in the competition, Aniu Company will definitely be the leading Internet company and the leading e-commerce company. With this, Aniu Company will also definitely

Become the company with the highest market value.

Li Hongjie himself is a wise and conceited person. What he said not only shows that he has full confidence in his company, but also means to warn other big bosses.

What I mean is that you don’t come to compete directly with me. You can’t do it no matter what, so you’d better go around to avoid asking for trouble.

Ma Jiahao naturally couldn't stand Li Hongjie's boasting.

You must know that Penguin Technology currently has many more customers than Aniu Company, even though most of Penguin Technology’s customers do not directly create economic value. Secondly, Penguin Technology’s market value is higher than Aniu Company, so after listening to Li Hongjie

If so, Ma Jiahao would naturally feel unhappy.

So Ma Jiahao retorted, and the two of them started to argue a little bit.

At that time, Li Hongjie said: "Our company doesn't do content. Penguin Technology can no longer do content. But if Penguin Technology wants to do e-commerce, it will definitely fail. If you don't believe it, you can give it a try."

Li Hongjie had already made his statement in front of so many colleagues. Ma Jiahao couldn't help but express his position on the spot that Penguin Technology would definitely do e-commerce.

Of course, in Ma Jiahao's words, he is not going against Aniu Company, but the inevitable path and result of the company's diversified development. The implication is that Penguin Technology is already very big and must expand horizontally.

People in the business world care about face as much as people in the officialdom. What you say is like water that has been thrown out and cannot be taken back. What's more, since that time, people have asked Ma Jiahao from time to time when he got involved in electronics.

business industry.

Maybe it was just a relationship, or maybe curiosity was the reason, but if those words fell into Ma Jiahao's ears, it would be a run on him. He felt that others were waiting to see his joke, so he made up his mind and decided to do it.

It is true that Ma Jiahao is not a completely reckless person. Of course, he has weighed the pros and cons, so they discussed and made such a plan. In Ma Jiahao's view, they actually have a high probability of success.

After all, they are no longer a small start-up company, but a listed group with strong strength.

Ma Jiahao also has a small calculation, that is, he believes that the company's hundreds of millions of customers can be converted. Those who use Penguin accounts and play Penguin Technology's games can use technical means to convert them all into users of Paipai.com.

Once this plan is successful, even if only half of the customers become loyal customers of Paipai.com, then Paipai.com will be able to keep pace with Aniu Company.

It's just that the imagination is very rich and the reality is very skinny.

The kind of conversion that Ma Jiahao believed was actually far from reality. He did not take into account the customers' usage habits and accumulated psychological problems.

In fact, those who use Aniu's e-commerce platform, whether they are corporate customers or individual customers, are actually already customers of Penguin Technology, because Penguin Technology's customer base is expanding faster than Aniu's.

Therefore, after these customers have become familiar with Aniu's services, it is already very difficult to switch. Moreover, Penguin Technology has to do a lot of profit sharing and advertising, and this part will generate huge losses.

That's troublesome.

Just like we are used to eating rice, even if a company introduces delicious noodles, it is not easy for us to change our rice-eating habits. For noodles, we can only change the taste occasionally to feel fresh. The principle is similar.

Of all the shareholders, only a few were opposed to Ma Jiahao's plan, and even fewer, like Hu Mingchen and others, clearly opposed or did not support it.

In the eyes of those shareholders, if Ma Jiahao and the others can develop Penguin Technology from a few people to thousands of people, and from the initial few hundred thousand to the current market value of tens of billions, then they will definitely be able to create greater glory again.

Those shareholders are also very envious of the scale of Aniu Company. If they can create a giant like Aniu Company under Penguin Technology, wouldn't their own worth and income will increase a lot, and desire will blind people.

With their own eyes, these shareholders only saw the benefits, but did not see the existing risks and difficulties.

Anyway, since Ma Jiahao and the others have already started working, and other shareholders also support it, Hu Mingchen has no other ideas at this time. They can just do it if they want to, even if they spend money to buy a lesson, maybe they have experienced it once

It is not known that Ma Jiahao and his team will become more mature through setbacks and failures. After all, their entire team is still in their early thirties, they are very ambitious and very confident, and they have a certain concept of who is better than me in the world.

When Hu Mingchen went to Pengcheng this time, neither Hu Jianqiang nor Wu Huaisi accompanied him, and there was only Kong Linglong by his side.

When they got off the plane at Pengcheng Airport, the sky had just turned white.

For Pengcheng on the South China Sea, this time is also the coolest time of the day. Hu Mingchen and the others traveled thousands of kilometers, but when they walked out of the airport and the cool breeze blew, they immediately felt refreshed.

Hu Mingchen and Kong Linglong took a taxi at the airport and went directly to the Lotus Hotel near the border port.

The Lotus Hotel is not a high-end five-star hotel. This hotel can barely be considered a three-star hotel. It is located between several old residential buildings. The only convenience is that it is close to the train station and the border port. It takes 20 minutes to walk.

It can be reached in minutes.

This hotel was not booked by Hu Mingchen and Kong Linglong. They had no intention of staying in Pengcheng for one night, and Hu Mingchen did not have the time. The reason why they came here was because of Fang Guoping's arrangement. Now, Fang Guoping lives in

Room 702 of this hotel.

Hu Mingchen and Kong Linglong paid the fare and got out of the car, then took the elevator directly to Fang Guoping's room.

Knocking on the door, Hu Mingchen and Kong Linglong walked in. In addition to seeing Fang Guoping, they also saw a middle-aged man wearing a floral shirt and casual shorts lying on the bed, motionless, as if he was very sleepy and sleeping soundly.
