It's quite a headache. Zhang Yida wanted to say, I just said it casually and I couldn't take it seriously.
Compared with Mount Emei, Mount Qingcheng, and Dujiangyan, Yunding Stone City is like a younger brother within a younger brother!
Are you looking for death if you engage in cultural tourism projects?
It is estimated that it can attract tourists from around Rongcheng. Tourists from far away go to famous mountains and rivers such as Western Sichuan or Emei and Dujiangyan.
Ghosts come to your Jinyu County!
“It’s difficult, very difficult! If we want to complete a big project, our Yunding Stone City still lacks some foundation.
Even if it’s a small project, it won’t be able to boost our county’s GDP much.”
Zhang Yida decided to tell the truth. If he could contribute to the construction of his hometown, he was still willing to contribute, but even if he did, it would not have much effect.
"Yida, why do you lack the foundation? Our Yunding Stone City was built under the orders of the famous Southern Song Dynasty general Yu Jie!
Who is Yu Jie? The national hero who killed Mongke Khan, the ruthless man who let God's whip break, and the great man who changed the history of the world.
Moreover, our Yunding Stone City has resisted Yuan soldiers for decades. This is also a place that witnesses the unyielding will of our Han nation.
If you run it well, it will definitely become a popular tourist attraction."
County Magistrate G coaxed people into doing things that made Zhang Yida look at him with admiration. He is such a knowledgeable and talented magistrate!
"Yu Jie is very famous, but he became famous in Diaoyu City in Yuzhou!
It would have been nice if he had killed Kublai Khan again in our Yunding Stone City."
Zhang Yida's words left County Magistrate G speechless. He decided to do the next best thing and said:
"Then let's do this! Yida, you invest less and we can renovate Yunding Stone City and start a small project!"
"Okay, I'll go back to the capital, discuss it with experts in this field, and come up with a plan."
Zhang Yida himself does not object to the construction of his hometown, but he is afraid that the local officials will have too high expectations and ask him to invest one billion or eight hundred million. No matter how much money is spent, it is not a way to spend it.
Investing thousands to eight million dollars to repair Yunding Stone City will not only comfort the heroes who guarded the gate eight hundred years ago, but also stimulate the local economy.
Well, it's better than buying a sports car.
"Okay, let's make an agreement then! If you need any procedures or support then, our county government will help you."
County Magistrate G is also very happy. According to Zhang Yida, the investment will not be too big, but it is better than nothing.
The most important thing is that through this incident, I established a relationship with this young business tycoon, which will be of great help to me in the future.
After County Magistrate G left, Zhang Qinghua said:
"What do you think? Are you really going to invest in that Yunding Stone City?"
"Yes! Invest! If Yunding Stone City is developed properly, there is still a chance to turn it into a good attraction."
Zhang Yida already has some arrangements in mind. Repairing the ancient city wall is only the first step. He will then consider whether to invest additional money based on the actual development situation.
"Hey, it's up to you! I don't think much of it. But repairing the ancient city wall is also a good thing. If you want to do it, just do it!"
Zhang Qinghua shook his head repeatedly. If it really has development value, someone has already developed it. Is it your turn?
"I heard that there is snow in Shicheng in winter?"
Zhang Yida has been to Shicheng a few times in total, and each time it was summer. I really don’t know what the situation is like in winter.
"The altitude is relatively high, and sometimes there is snow. What do you want to do? Ask someone to watch the snow?"
Zhang Qinghua looked at his son in confusion.
“How about building a ski resort?”
Zhang Yida's thoughts suddenly drifted away. Skiing has been very popular in recent years! It's very exciting!
"Go and study it! If it doesn't work, just finish repairing the city wall."
Zhang Qinghua didn't know much about ski resorts, so he didn't give his son any advice.
…
After staying at home for a few days, Zhang Yida returned to the capital.
"Has Leech Golden Clothes made any recent moves?"
In Ruixiang's office, Zhang Yida asked Xie Huaiyu, general manager of the Open Technology Division.
"There is no action at the moment, but I am keeping an eye on it. If there is any big action, I will notify Mr. Zhang in time."
Xie Huaiyu has performed very well in recent years. The three important businesses he oversees, Tiance Technology, Mung Bean Credit, and Mobao Payment, have all achieved good results.
“We have such a big limelight during the Spring Festival this year, and Leech Financial will definitely not let it go.
I estimate that the subsidy war is coming soon. You must be prepared."
Zhang Yida remembers that in his previous life, the mobile payment subsidy war started in 2015. Leech Financial and WeChat Pay were fighting fiercely. This year it will become the Three Kingdoms War.
"Mr. Zhang, please rest assured. We are always prepared and we will never let anything slip."
Xie Huaiyu's eyes were firm. Even in the face of pressure from the two giants, he felt that Ruixiang still had a chance.
As for him, if he wants to obtain more options, he must make meritorious deeds, especially achieving impressive results in the mobile payment battlefield.
“It was previously decided that a budget of US$800 million would be invested in mobile payment this year, which is equivalent to approximately RMB 4.9 billion.
More than 800 million were used for the Spring Festival Gala red envelopes and Wufu Collection, and there are almost 4 billion left.
This 4 billion yuan is Mobao Pay’s subsidy budget for this year.
As long as you can withstand the pressure and even capture more market share, the group will raise another round of financing in the second half of the year and continue to increase the subsidy budget for you."
Zhang Yida's words are undoubtedly very tempting, and Xie Huaiyu is also very moved. With 4 billion in hand, he is even more confident. Especially when Zhang Yida said that he has played well and wants to increase the budget, he is even more liberal.
…
Lin'an.
Jack Ma's office.
"You're back? How's the Paytm situation going?"
Jack Ma looked at the dusty Pang Lei and asked with a smile.
“Fortunately, I fulfilled my mission and acquired 25% of the shares of One97 unis, the parent company of Paytm.
It’s just a little expensive, costing US$575 million.”
Pang Lei is relatively self-effacing and has no intention of taking credit or being arrogant at all.
“Don’t worry about the gains and losses of one city or one place, but take a long-term view.
The e-commerce market in India is on the rise. Our investment in Paytm is just the first step. We will continue to encroach step by step until we fully acquire Paytm.
This is the first step for Leech Financial to enter the overseas market, even if the price is high, it doesn't matter.
With a population as big as India, this money will be earned back sooner or later."
Jack Ma said this to Pang Lei.
"Has that little guy Rui Xiang been doing anything lately?
The Spring Festival red envelopes and five blessings they created this time are pretty good. They have many tricks, so you should pay attention to them."
I saw the Wufu red envelope and the Spring Festival Gala red envelope during the Chinese New Year, and Jack Ma also praised it, saying it was a good idea. Then the emphasis on Ruixiang was raised one level, ranking only behind the penguin.
"Yes, we will take it seriously. It is said that Ruixiang has attracted more than 80 million new users through these two activities.
It seems that red envelope subsidies are a relatively effective way to attract new customers.
Does Paypay’s red envelope budget need to be increased this year?”
Pang Lei is not afraid of Zhang Yida's krypton gold. When comparing money, Leech Financial Service can beat Ruixiang.
"Well, users who receive red envelope subsidies have no moat and can be regarded as just grassroots.
If Ruixiang cannot keep up with its subsequent red envelope subsidies, sooner or later users will be snatched away by payment software with greater activity.
When you make a budget, in addition to considering the sharp direction, you also need to take the penguins into consideration.
This year it should be a melee between the three of us."
Jack Ma attaches great importance to the mobile payment market and secretly thought, since Ruixiang has provoked a war, we must fight back.
“Then does Leech Financial need to start a round of financing?
This kind of money-burning war cannot be done by just putting in the money ourselves."
Pang Lei asked again.
Jack Ma nodded and then said:
"It's time to raise funds. Let's look for state-owned assets! Get more people on board, and with their endorsement, many things will be easier to handle."
…
Pengcheng.
Ponema Office.
"Jim, Tenpay has a very difficult task this year. Are you confident that it can be completed?"
Bonima said looking at a round-faced middle-aged man sitting on the sofa opposite him.
The middle-aged man with a round face wears glasses, and he looks polite at first glance.
His name is Lai Ziming, he is the vice president of Penguin Group and the general manager of Tenpay.
Penguins generally call each other by English names internally. His English name is Jim, which translates to Jim.
"Bonnie, what do you think of our relationship with Ruixiang?"
Lai Ziming did not answer Ponima's question directly, but asked Ponima's question.
"Does this have anything to do with completing our mission this year?"
Ponima asked thoughtfully.
"Yes, and it's very relevant.
Once Tenpay takes off, our red envelope subsidies will be conducted both online and offline.
Leech Financial Services holds 70% of the market share and is currently our common enemy with Ruixiang.
If the three parties work together, everyone will burn money together.
Rui Xiang, we invested 1.5 billion US dollars. If we burn money, it means that we burned double the amount, but did not achieve double the effect.
I think it's best to communicate with Rui Xiang and let's attack Leech Financial Services together.
For example, Ruixiang subsidizes the northern market, and we subsidize the southern market.
We and Ruixiang should not engage in internal friction first, let’s knock down the leading momentum of Leech Financial Services first.”
Lai Ziming sees the problem very thoroughly and comprehensively. He feels that the current main enemy is still Leech Financial Services. Penguin wants to burn money but also needs to burn better results.
Bonima agrees with what Lai Ziming said. Tenpay is his biological son and Ruixiang is his godson.
When three people fight for property, they must first kill the outsider, and then the brothers will fight over it slowly, so that the outsider will not take advantage.
"Will Ruixiang agree? Doing this should be the most beneficial to us! It's not so beneficial to Ruixiang."
Bonima was worried about this problem. Although Penguin had 20% shares in Ruixiang, it had little say.
Zhang Yida is also a small giant and is not so easy to control.
"Don't we still have a third tranche of US$500 million that has not been allocated? Let's take this and have a good chat with Zhang Yida.
If we can achieve the north-south demarcation in half a year, we can achieve it in half a year. Of course, one year is better."
Lai Ziming adjusted his glasses and said, "In my early years on Wall Street, I did a lot of immoral things. Where are you now?"
"But in this case, we are giving up on the northern market, right?"
Bonima recognized Lai Ziming's "poisonous plan" in his heart, and there was no conscience that he could live with or that he could not live with.
The shopping mall is like a battlefield, and it is normal for venture capital funds to be delayed for several months.
"No, we have given up on the northern market offline. Online, our QQ and WeChat can still subsidize users across the country.
It is equivalent to saying that online we can compete with Leech Financial Services, and in the offline market, from the north to PK Leech Financial Services, we can do it ourselves in the south.
In this way, not only do we have no internal friction, but we also have the greatest siege effect on Ahri."
Lai Ziming smiled slightly and his eyes flashed.
"Okay, Jim, that's a good idea. Just do what you said."
