ps: Wen Jing is a character in the plot, I won’t criticize her until I read it.

Passing by an iron gate on Sanlitun North Street, Li Bo wrote his name and pager number on a piece of paper, leaving the message that he wanted to rent this place. After more than half a year, on May 15, 1995
, jazz.ya ushered in its opening. This is the first bar in Sanlitun, and it is also the 'old place' where Li Wei, Bai Li, and Hao Ying had their children.
At the beginning of the night, the two boys walked out of the jazz.ya bar. The bar did not face the street, but the people queuing up had already lined up from the door to the main road.
Seats have been placed on the roadside, and countless young people are already sitting there, holding draft beers and watching the sunset.
The hazy nightlife in Sanlitun is about to begin, romantic and beautiful.
"Zhao Song seems to have said that before the opening of Bar Street, there was no fashionable person in Sanlitun. When the construction of Sanlitun is completed, there will be no unfashionable person in Sanlitun."
Under people's astonished gaze, the two women took a walk in the sunset. Some white-collar workers in line recognized Li Wei's identity, but after her polite response, they did not come forward to disturb them.
"So he chose Yiren's first store location here. He said this would be the last space and reason to embrace slow life in Beijing."
Li Wei looked around, but apart from the bar street, the ruined walls and the clanging construction sites, she couldn't see anything special here.
There is no Taikoo Li, there is no Uniqlo, there are no telephoto lenses looking around in front of its doors, and there are no coquettish ladies showing off their genitals.
fashionable?
Apart from the young people who come to the bar, Li Wei, who is based abroad, doesn't see anything fashionable here.
She shook her head and asked, "Do you remember Brother Ji?"
"Why don't you remember?" Bai Li said with a smile, "No one here doesn't know him. Although he is over fifty years old, he is still like a young man chasing the wind. Without him, the nightclubs in the capital are half as exciting. My sister in the capital sees him.
, all started to fly. Brother Ji has the most irritating saying - we, Lao Gan Cong, have lived a life that was not lived in the 80s, but you, those born in the 80s, have lived a life that we, Lao Gan Cong, are currently living."
Li Wei was a little embarrassed when she thought of that ridiculous time: "The three of us were like little fans at that time. I remember that on his 45th birthday, he let out a 'shudder'..."
She danced and said, "He showed a sharp weapon, not a sword, but a piano. The guitar was like a rock weapon. Suddenly it broke into pieces. He smashed the guitar on the roast duck stove, and then threw the broken six-stringed piano away.
Burn it in the roast duck oven, and the famous performance art is born."
Now that I think about it, the three of them are a group of besties standing at the crossroads of changing times.
There is no Wenjing in the group.
That good school girl has never been on the same page as them except for her competitiveness.
"Wen Jing is back."
Bai Li said suddenly.
"I know." Li Wei nodded, "Tianmao is at home every day and I don't know what to do."
"She is connected with many people and wants to recruit that fool."
"She came back from the United States and is not that stupid," Li Wei shook her head. "Zhao Song is now at the height of his power. Those people are just playing around and looking for big opportunities in these big domestic crises. After all, as long as Zhao Song takes action,
To solve the problem, money will definitely clear the way, and this is an opportunity for those people."
Bai Li asked with interest: "What about you?"
"I'm leaving!" Li Wei said firmly, "Among those people, there are people with scary backgrounds. What's scary is that they are all involved with someone. What's even scarier is that I don't know who that 'someone' is.
!”
Bai Li asked anxiously: "Does Zhao Song know?"
"I don't know." Li Wei patted her shoulder and smiled to comfort her, "There's nothing to worry about. In fact, that person was pushed out to test Zhao Song's quality.
If he loses, the private companies in his hands will be like Shenzhou, and everyone will make money together, and I will just mix in the system and be his little god of wealth; if he wins, there will be a lot less of this kind of thing in the future."
"Will he lose?"
"..."
Li Wei was silent, then she seemed to be jolted by something, and said with lingering fear: "Bai Li, if you knew his experience in the United States in the past two years, you wouldn't ask such a stupid question."
"That's good~" Bai Lixiao pointed to Yiren not far away, "Let's have a spa treatment together, and then you can tell me about it in detail."
"good."
Li Wei looked at the signboard of Yiren Club. The name was given by Zhao Song, which is the same as the name of the 'Weiwei' group.
"The story begins after the market war between Tesla and Bayan..."
…
…
South of Xinfa Market.
The lonely and secretive courtyard is still there, the road leading to it is getting wider and wider, and the green plants are getting more lush.
The courtyard was very lively, with children making noises one after another, accompanied by women scolding and dogs barking, full of the atmosphere of life.
"Liu Yupeng, the money has been transferred to the account you provided, remember to check it."
"..."
"You're welcome. I have no other requirements. I just want to provide you with your progress at the appropriate time. Isn't this too much?"
"..."
"Okay, I'll wait for your good news."
In the luxurious high-ceiling living room, Wen Jing put down the phone, not caring about someone's glare, picked up the little baby who was struggling to crawl, held it in her arms and rubbed it lovingly.
"snort!"
This is the old man with an angry face.
"Ha~"
This is a culture of lightness and calm.
Wen Jing glanced sideways at the two of them and said in a nonchalant manner: "What are you two doing in such a weird way?"
Lao Ba glared at her angrily: "Come back as soon as you come back and stay with your uncle. Why don't you mess with those idiots?"
Wen Jing spread her hands: "Make money."
"You can't make any money in America?"
"When I finish making money, I sold my PayPal shares."
"Earn money as long as you make it. Tell me, if I don't earn any money for you, why are you messing with Zhao Song?"
"..."
Wen Jing said nothing. She turned her face to Lao Ba and rolled her eyes fiercely at his angry look.
"You~"
"Okay, Laoba."
Wen Wenhua smiled, asked Lao Ba to calm down, and asked his daughter in a friendly voice:
"You know who's the leader?"
Wen Jing thought for a long time before shaking her head and saying, "I don't know. I only know that the person in charge is not a big one, but some of the people he contacted have big connections."
"Jingjing, I'm telling you, if you dare..."
"Brother Ba." Wen Jing interrupted Lao Ba, "My funds are directed to Longcheng.
You need to know that if Zhao Song were not involved in this project, steel would have been dominated by state funds; if Zhao Song was involved, it would be private funds and normal business dealings, and the benefits would change from gray to white.
So even if there is no Wen Jing, there will still be Li Jing and Zhang Jing."
"..."
Lao Ba was speechless and his face turned red.
"What's more, I don't even know if Gang Ben is that person's target. If I knew, do you think I wouldn't tell Zhao Song?"
"What can't Nizi do?" Lao Ba said angrily.
"Pa~"
The used diaper was stuck on his face. Lao Ba was about to fight back, but found that Wen Jing picked up her little nephew and blocked it in front of his head.
Wen Wenhua and his young wife looked at each other, and then continued to laugh at the two brothers and sisters playing, and couldn't hide the happiness that was about to overflow in his eyes.
When the two of them were out of diapers, he said gently:
"Jingjing, do you need us to do anything?"
After handing her brother to the young stepmother, Wen Jing asked tangledly:
"How many shares of the Three Links and One Da do you two have?"
"You!" Lao Ba stood up with a roar.
"Lao Ba." Wen Wenming signaled to calm his nephew down, and answered to his daughter: "I am a shareholder, Lao Ba is the manager of the North China region, and together we have a total of 5.3 points."
"Does the headquarters management have shares?"
"No." Wen Wen shook his head, "Three links and one extension are business consulting-style management. Over the years, we have been exploring our own business model under the guidance of Wanwan and the international logistics professional team, and we will pay you how much you do."
"Does that mean they don't have much power?"
"You can't say that," Wen Wenhua shook his head. "At least they have a great say in the construction of local distribution centers and logistics outlets."
"That's good." Wen Jing put her chin in her hands and looked at her father expectantly: "How about... sell your shares to me?"
"What a whim!" Lao Ba shouted angrily.
"Okay." The culture is unhurried.
"Uncle~" Lao Ba couldn't believe it.
"Since there are people who want to die," Wen Wenhua looked at his daughter teasingly, "and there are people who want Zhao Song to obey and accept his fate, then I will help them!"
"Uncle~"
"Lao Ba, don't you have confidence in Zhao Song?"
"..."
"Then sell it to her, and then accompany your uncle to enjoy this great show."
Wen Jing patted her hands happily and said, "Thank you."
"Thank you first~" Wen Wenhua waved his hand and asked with a smile, "Are you rich?"
"Yes." Wen Jing said confidently, "I really want to thank Zhao Song, because Tesla's previous patent war and current secondary financing attracted the attention of capital and allowed me to secretly sell my PayPal shares."
"Look, this is my precious girl!" Wen Wenhua laughed loudly, "I'll make mistakes along the way."
"Big~" Wen Jing said coquettishly.
"The share issue is settled. Now let's talk about the patent war. It will give us a long experience and let your brother have more confidence in Zhao Song."
"..."
A trace of fear flashed in Wen Jing's eyes, and she recalled it for a long time before speaking slowly:
"His opponents are Apple and a manufacturer alliance led by 27 mid-sized companies, which are famous in the United States for filing patent lawsuits against large companies.
While Tesla and Bayan were finishing their market war, they launched iPods and many no-name MP3 players, and then waited for Tesla’s patent lawsuit.”
"Wait?" Lao Ba asked doubtfully, "Why don't they initiate a lawsuit first?"
"Because in patent dispute cases in the United States, most of the passive parties are established and well-known companies. Apple and the manufacturer alliance know this and do not want to become a tool for Tesla to become famous, so they are waiting."
At this point, Wen Jing's hand suddenly started to tremble slightly. She picked up the water glass and took a sip before continuing:
"But they obviously underestimated Zhao Song's patience, market, and advertising planning capabilities. With the launch of tpod chassic2, Zhao Song's three advertisements and Hao Ying's two new Grammy songs have caused Tesla's market share to decline for three consecutive months.
Instead of going down, they went up, so they became anxious and started a lawsuit.”
Wen Jing held the cup tightly with both hands:
"According to past conventions, each of the three parties will pay several million in legal fees, wait for a year and a half, and the one with the greatest market gain will pay tens of millions more in settlement fees, and the matter will be over.
But no one expected that Zhao Song would come."
The living room was very quiet, Wen Wen and Lao Ba listened attentively, and the young mother quietly sat next to Wen Wen after putting her child to sleep.
“When he arrived in the United States, the first thing he did was to directly reject all suggestions from the legal team, Tesla management, and domestic sources.
He frantically split the 11 patent infringement cases into 139 cases, and thus the most exciting patent war in the United States began.
From the day he arrived in the United States, this patent war lasted for 22 months!"
Lao Ba opened his mouth and asked in surprise: "Why is it not reported in China?"
"Because Tesla has lost eight games in a row from the beginning." Wen Jing was very scared. "No one is optimistic about him, including his former partners, except for three people. Ding Tao is sitting in the country, lobbying everywhere to appease the leaders; Liao Yingzhu and
Gui Luyang graduated from business school ahead of schedule and started off-site wars, creating conflicts in all aspects including talents, patents, stock markets, and the market.
At that time, Apple poached one person from Tesla, and Gui Luyang dared to poach ten from it.
And Liao Yingzhu, who ignored multiple market warnings and death threats and completed the acquisition of three small manufacturers, allowing Tesla to perfectly bypass the patent wall of the manufacturer alliance!"
"Then you start winning?" Lao Ba asked expectantly.
"Another 6 losses." Wen Jing shook her head and smiled bitterly, "The opponent made too many outside moves. It was the first time that Zhao Song appeared in front of American consumers. No one could imagine that he was a flower grower with yellow skin, and Tesla was a flower grower.
...It’s all a scene of being provoked by people with ulterior motives.”
"..."
"I still remember that there was a review by American financial media two days ago, and I was busy counting Zhao Song's quotations. In public places, he said f***k 23 times, b***ch 19 times, and made 8 gaffes after the trial.
He clashed with the other party's legal team three times, spent 31 hours in the police station, and spent more than $9 million on bail."
"..."
I don’t know why, but Lao Ba suddenly felt panicked. He asked tremblingly: "He...why didn't he tell us? How...how did he get over..."
"have no idea."
Wen Jing's eyes were slightly red:
"Except for those three people, other subordinates advised him, business partners questioned him, and domestic leaders questioned him.
But he refused to retreat. At that time, he found a personal assistant and handed over his personal phone number. No one answered him, and he continued to fight to the death, continued to scold, and continued to quarrel with Crazy Joe in the media!"
"And you won?" Lao Ba asked expectantly.
"Losed 2 more games."
Wen Jing held out two fingers and suddenly laughed, "8, 6, 2, a total of 16 lawsuits, which took half a year, until someone finally realized it - they finally found out: if according to the previous indictment,
Nine cases were filed, and they didn’t even finish a single lawsuit, but Tesla has dragged down three small manufacturers to death, and Apple’s stock fell by 1.2%..."
Hearing this, Wen Wen was finally moved, and Lao Ba was stunned.
"Before the seventeenth hearing, Gui Luyang visited the other party's partners in several big law firms. I don't know how she convinced those cunning guys. Anyway, from then on, due to the issue of payment of legal fees,
The manufacturer alliance fell apart."
"..."
"Due to his nervousness, Zhao Song always relied on driving a sports car to relax at that time. It was also at that time that a small manufacturer jumped over the wall and drove a big Chevrolet..."
Wen Jing's face was full of fear.
"His personal assistant pulled the steering wheel frantically, turning the passenger side to face the Chevrolet."
"Bang~"
"The assistant was seriously injured, Zhao Song almost went crazy!"
"..."
Wen Wenhua was silent. He held his wife's tightly clenched hand and Lao Ba muttered something dirty.
“This is why the subsequent victory news was not reported in China.
The month since then has been the best month for public security in New York, and it has also been a month of crazy revenge from the American investment banks behind Tesla. They finally came to an end, warning Apple's messy board of directors, and going all out to suppress the manufacturer alliance in the stock market.
The off-board moves disappeared.
It was then that everyone understood his purpose in taking Tesla public."
“After that, in order to prevent another accident, the U.S. courts accelerated the process, and the number of Tesla’s legal team reached an unprecedented 233 people.
Half a year later, Tesla and the manufacturer alliance reached an out-of-court settlement. The price was more than 90 million yuan in legal fees, more than 20 million yuan in compensation, and the manufacturer alliance paid US$0.37 for each tpod."
"...This," Lao Ba wondered, "does this count as a win?"
Wen Jing shook her head: "If we follow the original suggestions of the legal team, the approximate compensation plan will only be so much."
Culture: “Where’s the apple?”
"Apple proposed reconciliation negotiations, but Zhao Song once again rejected countless people's persuasion, did not even reply, and continued to fight with Crazy Joe."
Wen Jing lamented: "From that time on, American young people love to call him crazy. No one talks about the color of his skin, the origin of Tesla, or the history of the brand. Countless people worship the man who curses in front of the camera.
A young billionaire who fights without saying a word and fights alone against dozens of famous CEOs."
Wen Wen finally vaguely guessed Zhao Song's purpose and sighed:
“Individual heroism is prevalent in America.”
"Maybe it has more meaning." Wen Jing disagreed with her father's statement. "In 18 months, Tesla's share of the high-end PC market in the United States was 16.7%, music players accounted for 43.3%, and Soundfield's share of the digital music market increased directly.
to 77%, the commercial software ecosystem has opened up the market, rising rapidly to 6.7%.
In terms of high-end accessories, the Republic of Gamers directly pushed its unknown brand Wanwan to the second and third tier positions, and its market share was once the same as EVGA..."
Wen Jing drank some water to moisten her throat, suppressed her excitement, and increased her volume:
"Zhao Song said in front of the media: Apple has the right to choose when to start, but Tesla has the final say on when to end.
As a result, the lawsuit continues and Apple’s stock price continues to fluctuate.”
"In the eighteenth month, several blockbuster business management papers from Ivy League universities were published in the top issue. The papers explained various concepts derived from Zhao Song in great detail:
Entrepreneur's personal brand, eyeball effect, fan economy, etc..."
"Twenty-two months later, the lawsuit was pronounced. Tesla compensated Apple for more than US$30 million, US$0.83 per unit, and legal fees of US$130 million. At this point, all 139 patent disputes have come to an end."
(ps: Similar to Apple, Google’s annual patent attorney fees and compensation are as high as tens of millions of dollars)
"..."
"Is this a win or a loss?"
Wen Jing waited with bright eyes and praised: "The result is not much different from the original result suggested by the legal team. Do you think I won or lost?"
"I think we won." Lao Ba scratched his head, "After fighting for so long, at least Tesla's brand is not inferior to Apple's. Zhao Song's personal reputation is at its peak, which in disguise has increased the sales of Tesla products and cultivated many loyal customers.
Advocates, a complete settlement of the patent has many fewer hidden dangers than a pre-trial settlement..."
"You have ignored the Tesla management team." Wen Jing added, "Except for those three people, even if the others have opposed Zhao Song, they have fully cooperated with him for 22 months, from quality to service, from publicity and distribution
When it comes to after-sales service, Tesla has survived everything, and this is the foundation for it to gain a foothold in the international market."
Wenhua nodded in agreement, then smiled and said:
"So some people want to take advantage of the fact that the terrorist team is not in the country to cause trouble.
Aren't you afraid of Zhao Song?"
Wen Jing rolled her eyes: "Hey, please replace 'you' with 'them'.
Of course he was afraid, but Zhao Song proved his foresight with countless correct decisions, which made more people pay attention to the several sole proprietorships in his hands.
Then, they fixed their sights on one kilometer, with three connections and one extension.
What is he going to do? What does their future mean?
No one knows, but it's definitely not small.
Therefore, those people will never want to be excluded from wealth sharing like Shenzhou, Tesla and other companies.
then……"
Wenjing spread his hands, no need to elaborate.
Wen Wenhua stood up and patted Lao Ba on the shoulder: "Don't you worry about Zhao Song now?"
Lao Ba pouted: "I've never been worried."
"Tough talk." Wen Wenhua scolded with a smile. Then he looked at his daughter and blessed:
"Then I wish you success."
"Big~"
Wen Jing was weak and coquettish, "It's them, not me."
"Tch~" Laoba said with disdain.
"I'll fight!"
A new family war has begun.
It also seems to indicate that another war has officially started...
