Zhang Yida sat at the top of the conference room, looking at a group of exhausted senior executives below, and encouraged: "I know everyone has worked hard, and this year has not been good for many years.
From the first day of junior high school to today, I have been working overtime for half a month.
If we persist a little longer, as long as we get through this year, we will not be afraid of any opponent.
In fact, BAT has been forced to run out of moves by us, and a war of words is the most incompetent sign."
Zhang Lan answered with a smile: "I see that many netizens express sympathy for the Zhonghe Group, saying that this is the prelude to the new king's accession to the throne and the final counterattack of the old forces."
Lu Qi adjusted his glasses and preached energetically: "This time the six sects besieged Guangmingding, they must have realized that this was the last chance.
With one more giant, everyone will have one less bite of rice in their bowl.”
"Haha, I was so desperate that I even smashed the bowl for them."
Zhang Yida stopped at that point and did not reveal his next move.
But Lu Qi seemed to understand something and looked at Zhang Yida thoughtfully.
"Did the Legal Department lose their legs during this period?"
Su Hua raised the materials in his hand and smiled at Zhang Yida: "They are all here. More than 30 companies. The total compensation amount exceeds 1 billion yuan. It feels a bit like the Eight-Power Allied Forces entering the capital."
Zhang Yida smiled and said: "We are not the Manchu government, we are volunteers, destined to defeat the Sixteen-Nation Alliance."
Everyone laughed.
At first, they were a little panicked when they heard that so many companies were suing Zhonghe Group.
But as the matter developed further and the Ministry of Justice began to take counterattacks, the situation developed in another direction.
Anyway, everyone’s buttocks are dirty, so who is afraid of whom? Let’s file a lawsuit.
Zhang Yida said: "We should not be too distracted by these external factors. Our main focus should be on the product itself and the business itself.
Only when you are strong, others will not dare to bully you.
By doing this, BAT actually wants to disrupt our military morale and hold us back.
Just leave the war of words to the Legal Department, and everyone's focus cannot be diverted."
Everyone nodded. This is the truth. To make iron, you need to be strong.
"This month, all employees who work overtime will receive an extra month's salary, and the legal department will receive an extra two months' salary."
Zhang Lan smiled and said: "Then we would like to thank Mr. Zhang for his generosity on behalf of our colleagues."
Zhang Yida waved his hand, "This is what it should be. Your efforts must be proportional to your rewards."
"By the way, how is the mental outlook of the employees? Have they been affected by external public opinion?"
Zhang Lan shook his head, "We are all veterans of the Internet industry, so we are accustomed to bickering.
As long as overtime wages are paid in place, each employee will be more passionate than the other."
Zhang Yida laughed. This is very realistic. At least for employees, it is much more reliable than empty talk about corporate culture and corporate values.
"By the way, today is the Lantern Festival. Didn't you prepare any gifts for the employees?"
Zhang Lan said: "Yes, yes, the cafeteria has prepared glutinous rice balls, and there are also red envelopes."
"Okay, let's go take a look."
Zhang Yida followed a group of senior executives around the various floors and watched the employees stop what they were doing to eat glutinous rice balls and receive red envelopes. It was so lively.
Seeing such a lively scene, Zhang Yida couldn't help but shoot a short video and posted it on TikTok, along with the copy:
"The current difficulties are only temporary and cannot defeat Zhonghe people. Come on 2018! Happy Lantern Festival to everyone!"
Shortly after the video was posted, it quickly became a trending topic on TikTok, with countless users liking and commenting on it.
"The eyes confirmed that the glutinous rice balls and red envelopes are served, this is a conscientious company!"
"Fuck BAT, Zhang Yida, you are the best!"
"Come on, stranger!"
…
This video was quickly reposted to major self-media and spread on the Internet.
People who care about Zhonghe Group feel that it is stable, so what about BAT, it can’t kill Zhonghe Group anyway.
Competitors were not in such a good mood, and everyone felt a layer of gloom in their hearts.
…
Zhang Yida flew to Chengdu and attended the signing ceremony of the "Rongcheng Smart City" project with senior officials from Chengdu.
Zhang Yida delivered an important speech on behalf of Ruixiang Digital Technology Group and Zhonghe Group, announcing that they will invest in smart transportation innovation projects, Tianfu Greenway projects, cultural and creative projects, and smart medical projects to help Chengdu build a new economic and industrial ecosystem.
Among them, Ruixiang has reached a cooperation with Chengdu Tianfutong, and will rely on the investment and integration platform to provide citizens with more convenient services in public transportation fields such as buses, subways, intercity transportation, and ferries.
Based on emerging technologies such as big data, cloud computing, mobile Internet, and the Internet of Things, a world-class smart greenway matching the national central city will be built in Chengdu.
Specific contents include building a smart greenway big data platform, a smart greenway IoT cloud platform, etc.
Cooperate with the Chengdu government to build a mobile payment smart city project, and use mobile payment, cloud computing, big data and other technologies to jointly promote the integration of Mobao Pay in the Chengdu business district, transportation, medical care, education universities, government affairs and people's livelihood.
Zhonghe Group plans to build an e-sports center, DouTV town, and film and television animation base in Chengdu to support Chengdu's cultural and creative industry.
It was not easy to win this project. Ruixiang and Zhonghe have been negotiating with the Chengdu government since last year.
In addition, Penguin also wants to win this project.
Penguin has always invested a lot in Chengdu. From 2008 to now, the cumulative investment in Chengdu has exceeded 2 billion yuan.
In addition, part of Penguin's game research and development studios are also located in Chengdu, which has made a great contribution to the prosperity of Chengdu's new economy.
But Ruixiang and Zhonghe are not bad either. They invested 2 billion in a second headquarters alone. Adding in the 1 billion this time, the investment has exceeded 3 billion.
In addition, it is Zhang Yida’s identity.
Locke, the prefect of Chengdu, has been constantly trying to bring Rui Xiang and Zhonghe to Chengdu, and at the worst, he wants to bring Pate Holdings over.
The Chengdu government has also done its homework. In terms of pet market, Chengdu is definitely among the top in the country.
Dogford Pet Food Factory, a subsidiary of Pate Holdings, is located in Chengdu. If the headquarters is moved here, wouldn't it be more convenient for business communication?
The Chengdu government ultimately chose to cooperate with Ruixiang and Zhonghe, which was a huge risk.
The biggest risk is to offend the penguin. If the fat penguin flies away and no benefits are obtained from Zhang Yida, the Chengdu government will suffer a big loss.
So as soon as the signing ceremony was over, Prefect Locke invited Zhang Yida to have lunch.
After all, he was an official at the deputy ministerial level and had just reached cooperation with the Chengdu government. Even though Zhang Yida knew that the banquet was not a good one, he could only accept it with a pinched nose.
At the dinner table, Magistrate Locke expressed his bitterness: "This time I have offended the Penguin Group badly. I heard that Penguin has planned to move the game research and development center to Jiangcheng."
"Hey, it's difficult in second-tier cities. If we can't retain big companies or retain talented people, when will we be able to lead our fellow villagers to become well-off?"
Other officials also chimed in: "Yes, but fortunately we have Mr. Zhang in Chengdu, the richest man in Asia. He has greatly helped the people in his hometown."
"Yes, not long ago I went to Singapore to discuss the "Xinchuan Science and Technology Park" cooperation project. When I heard that Mr. Zhang and I are from the same hometown, the Singaporean officials gave me a thumbs up!"
"I went to Japan for exchange and study. When the Japanese heard that I was from Chengdu, they asked me if I knew "Zhang Yida"? Is he richer than Masayoshi Son?"
…
Zhang Yida smiled bitterly, he knew it was a Hongmen Banquet.
