Chapter 248: Chinese Partners
It's not a coincidence to go to Heijiang this time, judging from the situation, something must have happened in the city, including the car accident of the TV station director mentioned by Brother Jian. As for what the situation is, Zhou Liwen is not good to ask as an outsider, but in the past few days in Heijiang, the original arrangement to see the market environment has been temporarily changed, except for the first day, Brother Jian was busy with work for the next few days and had no time to accompany them, so Secretary Jin and even his driver could only take Zhou Liwen and Brother Jun for him to go shopping.
Zhou Liwen didn't say anything about this change, and continued to visit the market according to his own itinerary, and also went to TcL's branch in Heijiang to inspect it. As for Brother Jun, it seems that he is also mentally prepared for this situation, and the two of them stayed in front of Heijiang for a week as if they had never given birth to anything.
On the day of leaving, Brother Jian saw them off with a tired face, and his words were full of apologies. When they broke up, Brother Jun said to him to take care, Brother Jian smiled knowingly, and then glanced at Zhou Liwen.
"Don't worry, I know the investment in my heart, and I will arrange it when I go back." Zhou Liwen said such a sentence when he said goodbye to Brother Jian, and Brother Jian understood Zhou Liwen's words, so he immediately put a slight effort in his hand and said thank you.
The plane returned to Shanghai, and Zhou Liwen and Brother Jun broke up directly at the airport. The filming in Hengdian is still going on, and as the boss Brother Jun, no matter what the final outcome of this film will be, he still decided to finish it well. As for Zhou Liwen, he was worried about his pregnant wife, and he couldn't wait to return home as soon as he got off the plane.
The family is fine, and under the careful care of the two queen mothers, Lin Yaxuan's complexion is even better than before Zhou Liwen left. As soon as Zhou Liwen got home, he and Lin Yaxuan got tired of it for a while, and then chatted in the house for a long time, until his mother Li Xiaoyuan came in and asked Zhou Liwen not to disturb Lin Yaxuan to take a nap and rest, and then he reluctantly left her room.
There are four old people in the family, and he can hardly interfere with anything inside and out, and Zhou Liwen even feels that he is a little redundant at home now. When he came to the courtyard, he smiled and shook his head with a self-deprecating smile, took out a cigarette, lit one, and walked to a chair by the lawn and sat down.
As soon as he took a few puffs of cigarette, the phone in his pocket rang, and he took out the number that he saw was Xiangjiang.
"Old Pang?"
"It's me, Dong Zhou, are you still in Heijiang?"
"I'm in Shanghai, and I just came back from the morning plane." Zhou Liwen asked, "What?" Is it a matter of Lianke? β
"Yes, the court will be held the morning after tomorrow, and everything is ready."
"Hehe, just get ready."
"Dong Zhou, will you come to observe this court session?"
Zhou Liwen thought for a while and refused: "Forget it, you are still fully responsible, I won't go." And you also understand this matter, it can't be solved in one court session, I still have some things to do here in Huhai, and I will talk when I meet in a few days when I come to Xiangjiang. β
Pang Yishan agreed with a smile, and the two said a few more words before hanging up the phone.
After Zhou Liwen acquired part of the shares of Chairman Li and became the vice chairman and CEO of TcL Group, he hired Pang Yishan as TcL's legal counsel. Although TcL originally had a legal department, as a private enterprise, TcL's legal department was not strong, and some personnel had left in the previous quality crisis. This time, in order to target the lawsuit against Lianke, Zhou Liwen decided to use Pang Yishan to lead the litigation work in an all-round way to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
For this first trial, Pang Yishan and his team of lawyers have made long and comprehensive preparations. In the past two years, as Zhou Liwen's business has become bigger and bigger, Pang Yishan's law firm has not been what it used to be. Due to Zhou Liwen's career, although Pang Yishan's law firm is headquartered in Xiangjiang, a large part of its business is currently related to the mainland, so since last year, he has opened a mainland law firm branch in Huacheng to expand the business in the big six.
This time, nominally speaking, it was only TcL Group that sued Lianke, but in fact, Zhou Liwen's side gathered the strong legal resources of its own legal department, the legal department of TcL Group and Pang Yishan Law Firm, and also with the technical support of several of its own companies, including the research institute, and the influence of the outside world on the Lianke incident, it should not be a problem to win.
But Zhou Liwen also knows very well that Lianke will definitely not sit still, Cai Mingjie is a strong man in the business world, and he only wants to rely on a lawsuit to defeat Lianke, Zhou Liwen is not so naΓ―ve.
From the perspective of the overall scale, Lianke is still a giant, and the scale of assets is not comparable to Zhou Liwen, and even Zhou Liwen and Li Dong are not far behind. What's more, Lianke's headquarters is in the Taiwan Strait, and even if the mainland loses the lawsuit in the end, it will be a painful consequence. As Zhou Liwen and Pang Yishan said, a court session cannot solve the problem at all, even if the first instance is won according to the law, there is a second instance below, and there is still the issue of enforcement after winning the second trial. With Cai Mingjie's sophistication in the shopping mall, as long as he adopts the procrastination trick, he will definitely be able to get a respite.
But for Zhou Liwen, that was enough. Zhou Liwen did not expect to rely on litigation to kill Lianke from the beginning, because this is absolutely impossible. His real intention in doing this was to cause trouble for Cai Mingjie and at the same time buy time for himself. As long as it drags on for a few months, preferably a year, and puts Cai Mingjie and his Lianke in the quagmire of litigation and is unable to take care of anything else, Zhou Liwen will be able to get the first hand in the full range of Yuelianke in terms of technology. At that time, when the smartphone is born, the technology in the hands of Lianke will no longer have to be feared, and Zhou Liwen will be able to achieve full dominance.
After resting at home for a day, he went to Shanghai Bank to meet Yao Liang the next day.
In the past six months, with the stable development of Alipay, it has not only brought benefits to Zhou Liwen, but also allowed Huhai Bank to gain a lot of benefits. At present, Alipay's user base has been growing steadily, and under the promotion of eBay and Taobao, the use of Alipay has become a must for online shopping. At the same time, the growth of Alipay has also promoted the exhibition of Taobao. Zhou Liwen previously used TcL's mobile phone for online shopping activities, which made Taobao famous. After Zhou Liwen took a series of measures, coupled with Liu Ting from the beginning of the network company in charge of the implementation of the business strategy of Taobao in the later generations, Taobao's exhibition momentum was fierce and abnormal, but also because of its convenient operation and open interaction, but also made a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises, individuals settled in the website.
As the deputy director of the credit department of Huhai Bank and the supervisor in charge of Alipay's operation, Yao Liang's life is also a good one. With the support of Liwen and Alipay this week, and with the momentum of Alipay's business, he, a newcomer to Huhai Bank, is sitting more and more firmly under the buttocks.
"Brother Zhou, you are a rare guest, why did you have time to come to me today?"
Entering Yao Liang's office, this kid immediately got up from the Taipan chair enthusiastically, bypassed the table and took the initiative to greet him.
"Tsk, this office is in good condition, it seems to be better than before." Zhou Liwen looked around and joked.
"Haha, this is not a blessing for your brother Zhou," Yao Liang smiled and beckoned Zhou Liwen to sit down, poured a cup of tea and then toasted a cigarette.
"How? It's the first time I've come back since you came to work at Huhai Bank, are you still used to it? β
"What are the habits that you are not used to, it is still the same sentence, without you, Brother Zhou, there would be no me today." Yao Liang patted his ass slightly, then looked left and right, looked at the door was closed, and said softly to Zhou Liwen: "But Brother Zhou, there is just something to remind you, some time ago, someone in the industry proposed that the cooperation with you suffered a big loss, and said that he would readjust the ...... of Alipay's cooperation agreement." β
"Oh......." Zhou Liwen didn't seem surprised at all, nodded without surprise and continued to smoke and drink tea.
Yao Liang didn't understand what Zhou Liwen meant, and suddenly said in a hurry: "Brother Zhou, don't take it seriously." Although this matter was temporarily vetoed by the president, there are really many people who have this idea, and if the cooperation between the two sides is really interrupted, you Alipay will not be ....... β
"What's wrong? Dead warped, isn't it? Zhou Liwen sneered.
Yao Liang swallowed his saliva and nodded slightly.
Looking at him like this, Zhou Liwen couldn't help but shake his head, reached out and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't say anything else, what do you think of yourself?" β
"Of course I'm on Brother Zhou's side!"
"Isn't that it!" Zhou Liwen said directly: "Don't forget that you are in charge of this project now, except for the president and you, as long as you don't change your mind, whatever others say is a fart." Besides, if you make this project yellow, what good will it do to Huhai Bank and you? Do you think that with the current momentum of Alipay, I will directly cooperate with other banks and refuse to the other party? Brother, sometimes you have to look farther, you can't just stare at the front of you when doing business, otherwise you will suffer a loss. β
Yao Liang shuddered in his heart, and the whole person was smart and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, Brother Zhou, you are right, you can rest assured, as long as I am in Huhai Bank for a day, this matter will definitely not change!" β
"It's strange to believe in you!" Zhou Liwen said so in his heart, of course he wouldn't say that, Yao Liang and his friends for many years, he still doesn't know the character and temper of this kid? If I guessed correctly, it is estimated that the president deliberately asked him to test himself just now, although this kid has a high position in Huhai Bank, he is a newcomer, and he is a person who the president personally poached from the original bank, as long as Yao Liang's brain is not bad, of course he knows who his boss is. Banks, especially commercial banks, which are not human elites? Alipay's current success made the upper echelons of Huhai Bank, who gave up the right to operate Alipay, regret it a little, so they came up with this crooked idea to test themselves through Yao Liang's mouth, if they had a little hesitation just now, or if they were not resolute, I am afraid that Huhai Bank would come up with some means to force themselves to make concessions.
