Rekindle 2003

Chapter 1087 Only those who work hard can win, and those who work hard can become famous!
Cao Xingchen's fingers tapped lightly on the table, his thoughts spinning rapidly as Qing Yun spoke.

For him, the plan proposed by Qing Yun was not only a business opportunity, but also a political chess game.

According to Qing Yun's proposal, by setting up a joint venture in Pearl Harbor, he could cleverly avoid direct technology transfer with the inland, thus not triggering sensitive agreements with America and Izuku Island.

A gleam of light flashed in Cao Xingchen's eyes, and he realized that Qing Yun's proposal actually gave him a best of both worlds solution.

He was able to establish closer business ties with the inland without offending the sensitive nerves of the Izuku Island authorities.

This arrangement would not only preserve his business interests on Izuku Island, but also win favor from inland authorities and pave the way for his future.

It gives him more room to maneuver politically and provides more security for his personal future.

Qing Yun's proposal actually found a gray area within the existing international framework.

Although this area is full of risks, it is also full of opportunities.

Cao Xingchen knew that not everyone could seize such an opportunity.

It requires not only business savvy but also political acumen.

In Cao Xingchen's heart, he had already reached a preliminary approval of Qing Yun's proposal.

Must go through Pearl Harbor!
He knew very well that there was only one and only one Wang Yongqing on Izu Island.

Wang Yongqing dared to openly build factories in inland China and provide high-profile support to the inland areas, but he could not.

It was a special product of a special era, and Formosa Plastics' fatal influence on the economy of Izuo Island and the recognition of Wang Yongqing by mainland China were things he did not have.

The beauty of the model proposed by Qingyun lies in that it seems simple and safe, but few people can actually do it.

The key point is that Izushima enterprises should not only have core technologies in their own hands, but also be willing to open up their technologies to mainland China.

The reality is that Izuku Island does not actually have many core technologies, and most of them have been acquired by America.

Most people are willing to go to mainland China to make money, but are unwilling to transfer technology. This is an ideological issue.

But Cao Xingchen himself does not have this problem.

Because his consideration is not economic factors, but bottom-line thinking.

Moreover, this arrangement allows him to attack or defend, and in the future he may even be able to obtain an official status in mainland China.

And Qing Yun, as a person who traveled back from the future, has a deep understanding of Cao Xingchen's psychology and behavioral patterns.

He knew that people like Cao Xingchen did not have fixed loyalty when it came to positions.

All they pursue is to maximize their own interests.

Cao Xingchen's fence-sitting behavior is a natural reaction driven by this kind of interests.

The issue of stance is not a problem at all for Cao Xingchen. He will side with whichever side can make him money and allow him to go higher and further.

The same is true in later history. Cao Xingchen was once the most vocal pro-unificationist, but then, because his demands did not receive support from the mainland, he instantly jumped to become the most diehard pro-independence advocate.

He jumped back and forth several times in the middle, and was finally directly listed in the list of diehards by the inland.

Qing Yun naturally looked down on such people.

But after carefully reading the two books recommended to him by Zhi Liu and Mr. Ren in the past two days, his thoughts have changed a little.

In this world, the biggest variable is him, the reborn person.

Rebirth allows him to have a relatively clear judgment of everyone's positions and thoughts, which is an advantage.

But if you act entirely based on this memory, you are actually narrowing your path.

At the same time, after going through so much, he couldn't guarantee that everything he remembered from his past life was correct.

Cheng Jin's experience fully illustrates the problem. The information he could obtain in his previous life was not the complete picture, and there were information gaps.

It’s not about overturning Cao Xingchen’s verdict.

But Cao Xingchen at this stage has utility value, or what we call united front value.

On the basis of knowing Cao Xingchen's true colors and not being deceived by him, we should strive for greater benefits in the name of a united front.

For Qing Yun, this is also an excellent opportunity to further promote the development of China's semiconductor industry.

After all, this is MTK.

Cao Xingchen pondered for a moment, and finally said, "Mr. Xiaoqing, I think we can discuss this proposal further."

Seeing that Cao Xingchen was interested, Qing Yun smiled and explained in further detail.

“Mr. Cao, we can establish two joint ventures in the inland area and in Pearl Port respectively.

Inland companies are mainly responsible for OEM and sales, which is completely within the scope permitted by the Izu Island authorities.

The company in Pearl Harbor serves as our R&D platform.

MTK can license its existing patented technologies to the joint venture company of Pearl Port, but the key point is that any new technologies acquired in the future will belong to the company of Pearl Port.

This way, you don't have to worry about the political risks that may come with technology transfer.

Of course, I must be honest and say that there are still some ultimate risks that are uncontrollable.

For example...you also know about America's long-arm jurisdiction.

However, I believe that if that situation really happens, you, Mr. Cao, will not necessarily suffer any loss. "

Cao Xingchen was a little confused at first when listening to Qing Yun's explanation, but after thinking for a moment, his eyes lit up.

He understood that if such a thing happened, as long as it was handled properly, he would not suffer any loss in terms of fame or real gain in mainland China, but would gain great benefits instead.

Cao Xingchen licked his lips and asked Qingyun how the equity ratio would be arranged.

Qing Yun was prepared for this. He smiled slightly, took a note from Teacher Xiao Su next to him, and handed it to Cao Xingchen.

Cao Xingchen took the note and saw clearly written on it the shareholding ratios of Yanhuang Group, MTK and others: 19:49:32.

This equity structure cleverly ensures that no single party can hold controlling stakes.

However, he was very confused about this 'other'.

What the hell is this...

Cao Xingchen looked at Qing Yun in confusion.

Emperor Yun shrugged his shoulders. "A great man taught us to make more friends and fewer enemies."

"For example?" A hint of understanding flashed in Cao Xingchen's eyes.

"Xingtianxia, ​​Bayi Shikong, Shida, Fudan Fuhua, Houpu Group..."

Before Qing Yun finished speaking, Cao Xingchen, who was sipping tea, suddenly spat out the tea towards an empty space nearby, followed by a violent cough.

After a while, Cao Xingchen, who had recovered from his shock, turned around with a look of confusion on his face.

"Boss Xiaoqing, you can't be so shameless..."

He wanted to say, it would be better to write it as Yanhuang Group 51: MTK49!

Who could be fooled by such an arrangement!

These are all the entities that Qingyun can control!
Emperor Yun laughed, "There are also Fuxing Group, Fantasy Holdings, Wangnan, Shengda Network, Shunchi Real Estate, Qinshan Machinery, etc."

Cao Xingchen hissed, "Just tell me how many!"

"18 companies, 17 of them, 1% each, Huawei 15%, the total is 32%."

Qing Yun continued, "Don't worry, except for Hua Wei, the other 17 companies are just strategic investors.

They do not participate in the company's operations, do not occupy seats on the board of directors, and only have the obligation to contribute capital. Their representatives constitute the supervisory board."

Having said this, he paused, then spread his hands.
“The entities I actually controlled, such as Xingtianxia, ​​that I mentioned earlier, were actually held on behalf of others.

The shares held on behalf of others are 10%, and the shares can be transferred later depending on the situation.

As for who the transfer will be to, Mr. Cao and I have the final say, and only companies that are recognized by both of us can participate."

Cao Xingchen understood that Qing Yun’s meaning was actually very clear. In this way, they could unite more forces and reduce potential opponents.

Cai Mingjie, who was standing next to him, listened to Qing Yun's words. Although he still felt a little strange about cooperating with people from the mainland, he was still amazed by the foresight and wisdom of this young entrepreneur.

Inland children...

Are all layouts this big?
On the surface, this is equivalent to attracting a dozen companies that do nothing but sit back and collect dividends except for the original investment.

In fact, this completely blurs the nature of the entire equity.

Excluding MTK's 49% stake, all companies together hold 51%, and all of these companies, without exception, bear the distinctive imprint of Qingyun.

In other words, the actual controller is actually Qing Yun.

But this is the most basic layer.

Because Qingyun had also said before, companies recognized by Yanhuang Group and MTK could join in and replace the shares held by Qingyun using shell resources such as Xingtianxia and Shida.

Then, the equity structure will be reversed, which means MTK can also become the actual controller.

This provides the capital market with two interpretation options, and even achieves a balance similar to "each having its own interpretation".

As long as MTK brings in two companies belonging to its own camp, it can go back to Izu Island and declare that this is a company controlled by Izu Island.

Both sides can give an explanation to the higher-ups.

It’s really well calculated.

Cao Xingchen's gaze lingered on the note for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

He raised his head, looking at Qing Yun with sharp and amused eyes, "Boss Qing, I think this is a smart move you made. I think I understand your plan."

When Qing Yun heard what Cao Xingchen said, he was stunned at first, and then he burst into laughter. There was a bit of pride and cunning in his smile.

Cao Xingchen also started laughing.

The laughter of the two echoed in the conference room, leaving Cai Mingjie and Su Caiwei next to them confused and puzzled.

They exchanged confused looks, obviously not understanding the tacit understanding and humor between Qing Yun and Cao Xingchen.

Su Daji didn't understand at all, and Cai Mingjie, who thought he understood, became a little unsure after seeing the two of them laugh.

However, a few seconds later, Qing Yun's laughter stopped abruptly, and his expression quickly changed from relaxed to serious, staring at Cao Xingchen with a sharp gaze.
"Director Cao, this move of mine is indeed a bit risky, but whether it will succeed depends on whether you are willing to help me."

Cao Xingchen's laughter gradually disappeared, his expression became deep, and he slowly closed his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

Qing Yun did not rush to urge him, but waited patiently for Cao Xingchen's decision. At the same time, he gently turned the eighteen-seed incense beads in his hand with his fingers, appearing to be calm and unhurried.

Cao Xingchen was quickly weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

He knew that this equity structure was carefully designed by Qing Yun, and behind every number was Qing Yun's foresight.

The significance of the division and combination of equity structure is the most basic.

The real essence of this model lies in the scientific research platform mentioned by the guy opposite.

'Technology acquired in the future'...

Technology is acquired through both self-research and purchase.

The patent or technology is first obtained by UMC or MTK and then licensed to the Pearl Port joint venture.

Taking advantage of the ambiguity of the ownership of Izuku Island, they frantically tried to circumvent the Wassenaar Arrangement by skirting the rules.

Considering that there is Qinshan Machinery in this consortium...Cao Xingchen completely understood this guy's intention.

It is more of a technology transfer platform than a scientific research platform.

As for whether others will give up their technology...

Cao Xingchen himself has a lot to say on this point.

For capital...especially squid shop capital, sometimes there is no concept of the country at all.

Even if there is, it is a temporary position driven by interests.

Qing Yun's fingers tapped lightly on the table. His eyes seemed careless, but in fact they were as sharp as an eagle, capturing every change of expression on Cao Xingchen's face.

He knew that Cao Xingchen's answer would be a key part of his plan.

Whether this move is successful or not will directly affect whether he can gain an advantageous position in the complex political and business games in the future.

The special situation of Izu Island and the ideological conflict between the two sides made it difficult for Qingyun to find a suitable candidate like Cao Xingchen.

Neither Wang Yongqing nor Wang Xuemei can do it.

Although Wang Yongqing and Wang Xuemei hold important positions in the business world, their positions have been made clear. Their every move is under the public eye, and others are wary of them.

Choosing them undoubtedly increased the difficulty of Qing Yun's operation.

What's more, although Wang Xuemei inherited her father's business acumen, she was politically wavering and not as pure as old man Wang Yongqing, making it difficult for Qingyun to use her as a reliable chess piece.

In this game, Qing Yun needs a more delicate balance, a flexibility that allows him to move between different forces without completely leaning towards any one side.

In this case, frankly speaking, he is not as useful as someone like Cao Xingchen who has a politically speculative mentality.

Cao Xingchen's position is not fixed. He is more like a shrewd gambler. At the political gambling table, he can always adjust his bets in time according to changes in the situation.

This kind of political speculation mentality has been criticized, but this is exactly what Qingyun can take advantage of.

And Cao Xingchen's ability to always escape unscathed is an extremely valuable resource for Qing Yun.

He can use Cao Xingchen's flexibility to provide himself with more options and possibilities in his actions.

Of course, the most important thing is that Wang Yongqing and his daughter already have what they need, while Cao Xingchen is still in the process of realizing his needs.

He knew very well that his plan could not be hidden from an old fox like Cao Xingchen who was very sensitive to politics.

So he could only take a gamble and bet on how strong Cao Xingchen's speculative mentality was.

Emperor Yun's heart was not at peace, but his face showed no emotion.

He knew that at this critical moment, he had to remain calm and show enough confidence and determination to convince Cao Xingchen to join his plan.

Cao Xingchen opened his eyes slightly and looked at his face, and saw a determined light in his eyes.

And every subtle expression of Qing Yun, in Cao Xingchen's eyes, was a message: this was an opportunity that could not be missed, this was a cooperation that could change his destiny.

After a long while, Cao Xingchen opened his eyes and looked at Qingyun with a half-smile, "What benefits can I get?"

Qing Yun felt relieved when he heard this. He smiled calmly and said,
“Boss Cao, you can gain my friendship, the Qin family’s friendship, the Huake Institute’s friendship, and the inland friendship.

You should know that the inland areas have always been clear about gratitude and resentment. Whether you can become an old friend recognized by us depends entirely on your own actions, Mr. Cao."

There was a subtle hint of contempt at the corner of Cao Xingchen's mouth, and there was obvious doubt in his voice.
"Mr. Xiaoqing, please don't mind me. I don't think you are qualified to say such things. I find it hard to believe such empty promises."

Qing Yun did not show any displeasure because of Cao Xingchen's questioning.

He just remained silent for a moment, then smiled gently at Su Caiwei, with a hint of unquestionable authority in his tone.

“Caiwei, go find Brother Nan and take Mr. Cai for a walk in the garden to appreciate the scenery here.”

Su Caiwei nodded in understanding, and a hint of understanding flashed in her eyes.

Cai Mingjie, who felt a little puzzled, looked at Cao Xingchen, and when he saw him nod, he followed him out without saying anything.

As the door closed gently, only Qing Yun and Cao Xingchen were left in the room, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little solemn.

There was a hint of doubt in Cao Xingchen's eyes. He looked at Qing Yun and said with a hint of teasing, "Does it need to be so mysterious?"

Qing Yun just shrugged lightly, then took out a black certificate from his trouser pocket and handed it to Cao Xingchen.

This certificate was carefully arranged by his grandfather, and it represents a special power and identity.

Only now did he realize how unrealistic this administrative position was. It was a position where one could comply with the rules and show his credentials without saying a word.

Cao Xingchen took the certificate, opened it and saw that his hands could not help but tremble slightly.

A mixture of emotions welled up in him, shock and awe.

Well, he really wanted to curse!

Sure enough, doing business in the inland is not easy!
No wonder this guy was able to make it so quickly!
Qing Yun looked at the certificate in Cao Xingchen's hand and sighed in his heart.

This thing is really useful.

It is indeed a powerful tool, but its use is limited and cannot last long.

He needs to use this identity to gain the greatest benefit for himself within a limited time.

There is no other way. Let’s not talk about official or business matters. After all, the identities of six girlfriends need to be arranged, and he has to take off this skin.

Cao Xingchen gently placed the heavy certificate back on the table and looked at the young man opposite him in silence.

He could hardly hide his shock. The young man in front of him not only possessed extraordinary courage, but also had an unbelievable background.

After a while, he handed the certificate back to Qing Yun with trembling hands, but his eyes were full of burning light.

Although he was shocked by Qing Yun's youth, he was even more shocked by Qing Yun's courage and background.

Cao Xingchen was not completely ignorant of the rules of the inland.

Although the rank of deputy position in Jincheng City Bureau is not high, but for an 18-year-old boy, it is simply outrageous.

He knew that the cooperation with Qingyun was not only a business adventure, but also an investment in the future.

At this moment, Cao Xingchen had already made a decision in his heart.

"Boss Xiaoqing, what I said before was biased. Now it seems that you are qualified enough to discuss this deal with me."

Before Qing Yun even opened her mouth, he had already decisively said, "So, deal! Only those who work hard can win, and those who don't work hard can become famous!"
