Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 469 What is a giant?

The three quickly gathered together. The one in the lead was a slightly chubby young man with dark skin and a somewhat honest appearance. He looked at the disheveled young man and said, "Do you know where Du Yusheng went?"

The disheveled young man looked bewildered and said, "I don't know, but he'll definitely come back. As soon as he returns, we'll make our move."

"Then we'll have to stay a bit further away from the Momo Building. Let's go to the intersection. Xu Kun, do you remember the license plate number?"

“I remember,” the disheveled young man said. “Han A04123.”

“Okay, when you see that car, run over and block it with your body,” the chubby young man said. “You create a staged accident to lure Du Yusheng out of the car, and we’ll make our move.”

"Okay." A glint of wisdom flashed in the eyes of the disheveled young man.

Of the three, the dark-skinned, chubby young man was the most intelligent, so he became the team leader.

The three of them discussed their plan and positioned themselves on the only road leading to the commercial street.

At this time, Du Yusheng also arrived at the airport with his men.

He waited at the airport for more than half an hour before he saw that familiar figure.

Qian Buqun.

President of IBM China Region

Du Yusheng had seen Qian Buqun's photo many times and recognized him at a glance.

Two bodyguards wearing sunglasses were also with Qian Buqun.

"Hello, Mr. Qian." Du Yusheng stepped forward and reached out to shake hands with Qian Buqun.

Qian Buqun did not reach out. His two bodyguards stood in front of him, staring at Du Yusheng with sharp eyes.

"Who are you?" Qian Buqun's tone was somewhat cold.

"I am Du Yusheng, chairman of Momo Group." Du Yusheng slowly withdrew his hand, feeling somewhat unhappy.

I started looking at Qian Buqun's photos last night, just in case I mistook him for someone else. But this guy doesn't even recognize me?

He's been on CCTV several times already, okay?

Does Qian Buqun not read newspapers or magazines?
Even if you don't read newspapers or magazines, you should still check out the entertainment news, right?
The morally corrupt teacher-student relationship was initiated by someone they didn't even know?
Du Yusheng and Liu Shengnan's relationship was attacked by many internet companies, and Du Yusheng was even named the initiator of teacher-student romance in the 21st century. The purpose was simple: to smear Momo Group.

Even if you can't ruin his reputation, it's still very satisfying to criticize Du Yusheng.

"Oh, it's Chairman Du." A smile appeared on Qian Buqun's lips as he extended his hand and said, "I'm sorry, I haven't been in China for very long and I'm not very familiar with the business here yet."

With just one sentence, Qian Buqun moved Du Yusheng to the business sector.

Although Du Yusheng was unhappy, he still shook hands with Qian Buqun. After all, this was a task assigned by Cheng Yi, and he had to accept it even if the other party smeared shit on his face.

Du Yusheng laughed and said, "It's alright, practice makes perfect. Welcome, Mr. Qian, to give us your guidance."

"It's hardly guidance," Qian Buqun said, adopting an air of superiority. "Has Enze Capital informed you of this?"

"Yes, they asked us to cooperate as much as possible," Du Yusheng said with a smile.

"Okay, that's good." Qian Buqun straightened his sleeves and frowned. "Shall we talk here, or go to your company headquarters?"

Qian Buqun's words infuriated Du Yu.

Isn't that what you asked?

You ask, I answer; why are you talking about crickets now?

Du Yusheng suppressed his anger and smiled, "Mr. Qian, let's get in the car first. I've invited the local leaders to lunch to give you a proper welcome."

"No need for a welcome dinner. I'm very busy. After conveying the notice from our group headquarters, I have to go back." After saying that, Qian Buqun walked towards the exit.

Du Yusheng stood behind, his teeth grinding with anger. If he weren't afraid of ruining Cheng Yi's plan, he would have loved to go up and give the guy a good beating.

It's really infuriating.

No one in Jingzhou City dares to treat him this way.

Du Yusheng suppressed his anger, put on an innocent smile, and quickly followed.

His task today was to extract some useful information from Qian Buqun and, incidentally, set up a diversion to buy some time for Momo Group.

Du Yusheng has already made a great sacrifice by coming to pick me up at the airport this time.

Since dismissing those dozens of group managers, Du Yusheng has been traveling with a large number of bodyguards because he is worried that these managers might hire someone to beat him up.

This time, however, he picked up Qian Buqun according to his preferences.

Qian Buqun has many flaws. For example, he doesn't like grand occasions when picking someone up from the airport.

Moreover, he always travels with only two bodyguards; he has never had a good impression of those who travel with a large entourage.

To cater to Qian Buqun's unique quirks, Du Yusheng had no choice but to bite the bullet and go along with it.

After getting on the bus, Qian Buqun finally looked at Du Yusheng properly.

He knew what Du Yusheng looked like because Du Yusheng was a celebrity in China.

But he had to pretend he didn't know Du Yusheng.

Because he is the president of IBM's China region.

A market capitalization of trillions and a market capitalization of tens of billions are not on the same level. If he acts as if he knows Du Yusheng, it will make Du Yusheng feel that IBM is actually paying attention to his ideas.

What is a giant? A giant is someone whose head is so big that it can't look down at others.

Besides, Qian Buqun was also somewhat displeased.

He felt that Momo Group was being a bit reckless, actually making him personally make a trip to see Huawei and Lianxiang, who had both personally gone to their group to negotiate.

He's just a lousy internet cafe owner, but he acts all high and mighty.

Qian Buqun slowly said, "You should have a general understanding of why I'm here. Actually, you don't have any other choice in this matter. You've reached the point where you need to make a decision. Either choose our camp or choose Microsoft's camp. Our fees are lower and our services are better. Moreover, we understand the Chinese market better. Companies like Lianxiang and Huawei are our clients. If you join our camp, they can also become your support."

Qian Buqun brought the matter to the forefront as soon as he opened his mouth.

As Qian Buqun said, there was actually no need to choose in this matter.

It's just like life and death; is there even a need to choose?

Du Yusheng adopted a humble attitude and said with a smile, "Mr. Qian, of course we have no objection, it's just that the service fee is really too high."

"Is it high?" Qian Buqun frowned and said, "Lianxiang paid 6 million US dollars, Huawei paid 4.6 million US dollars, and only your price is the lowest, only 3.7 million US dollars."

Du Yusheng asked, "If we pay this money, what can you give us?"

Qian Buqun said, "That's a lot. First, your products can enter the global market. Second, we can give you our self-developed operating system to use for free for ten years. Finally, we can help you get a lot of allies. For example, we can merge with Time and Space Internet Cafe. Once you merge, you can take over the national internet cafe market."

Du Yusheng said, "Mr. Qian, could you tell me more about this? I'm very interested in this last part."

Looking at Du Yusheng, whose face was full of thirst for knowledge, Qian Buqun revealed an arrogant smile and said, "Let me put it this way, as long as a company's assets reach a certain standard, we can help you secure cooperation opportunities. Lianxiang Group, with assets of over 30 billion, can provide you with computers on a pay-later basis; Huawei Group, with assets of over 20 billion, can provide you with technical support; Top Group, with assets of over 10 billion, can provide you with software support; Neusoft Group, with assets of 10 billion, can provide you with server and firewall support..." Qian Buqun listed more than a dozen companies with assets exceeding 10 billion for Du Yusheng as if they were his own treasures.

Many companies were so powerful that Du Yusheng wouldn't have known there were so many in China if Qian Buqun hadn't mentioned it.

It's terrifying that they're constantly talking about amounts exceeding 10 billion.

Apart from Huawei, most of the major investors in these companies are overseas investment institutions such as Goldman Sachs.

After Qian Buqun finished introducing these companies to Du Yusheng, Du Yusheng felt a chill run down his spine.

What the hell is this?
He felt he should kneel down and beg to join.

Even sitting down is a crime.

Qian Buqun glanced at Du Yusheng, whose expression had changed slightly, and snorted coldly in his heart.

This scene is all too familiar.

He had seen it on the faces of many leaders of large corporations.

Although they have many competitors in the global market, they are still like brothers in general. Their policies toward countries like China are surprisingly consistent with those of their competitors.

If you're willing to submit, then I'll reluctantly lend you a hand, but of course, the cost of doing so will be very high.

If you're unwilling to submit, then we'll suppress you, acquire you, and sideline you.

Whether it's internet companies or traditional industries, their operating methods are the same.

After all, this is a world where capital reigns supreme.

After finding out all this, Du Yusheng recorded Qian Buqun's words into a voice recorder.

He quickly smiled and said, "I will convene a shareholders' meeting tomorrow to discuss this matter and expedite its completion."

"That's for the best." Qian Buqun nodded slowly, putting on airs.

He never imagined that Momo Group would refuse.

With a market capitalization difference of a hundredfold, is there any point in refusing?

Especially for companies like Momo Group that lack core technologies, they simply cannot withstand the crushing force of capital.

Internet cafes? Gaming? You can open one if you have money.

The cruelest thing about business warfare is that I spend 20 billion to cripple you, and then devour you to recover my losses.

If you win, you won't lose.

Du Yusheng asked some more detailed questions, which Qian Buqun answered one by one without hiding anything.

Before long, their Mercedes-Benz van turned right and entered the commercial street.

Just as the vehicle turned right, a figure suddenly rushed out from the side.

"Oh!"

With a muffled thud, the figure was sent flying.

The figure rolled three times on the ground and then lost consciousness.

"I...I hit someone!" Du Yusheng's driver shouted in fright.

"What did you do? Didn't you watch where you were going when you turned?" Du Yusheng asked quickly. "Are you alright?"

"I...I'll go take a look." Du Yusheng's driver immediately got out of the car.

"How long until it reaches your group?" Qian Buqun asked, frowning.

“It’s about a kilometer away,” Du Yusheng said hurriedly. “It’s at the end of this commercial street, Mr. Qian. Please wait a moment, I’ll call a car right away.”

"No need, let's walk over." Qian Buqun didn't care at all whether the person who was thrown out was dead or alive. Before Du Yusheng could speak, he opened the car door and got out of the car.

Seeing Qian Buqun get out of the car, Du Yusheng had no choice but to get out as well.

Du Yusheng's bodyguards were alright, being veterans who stayed by his side the whole time. But Qian Buqun's bodyguards were a different story. Seeing someone lying on the ground, seemingly lifeless, the two bodyguards in sunglasses couldn't help but move closer to watch the spectacle.

On one side of the road, a dark-skinned, chubby young man and a tall young man were still in shock.

After a long pause, the tall young man muttered, "Wasn't Xu Kun a bit too dedicated? He was just supposed to block the car, how did he end up crashing into it?"

The chubby, dark-skinned young man frowned and said, "This idiot doesn't even know how to maintain a safe distance."

As the two were talking, they saw a man with a strong presence get out of the car. Not long after the man got out, Du Yusheng, chairman of Momo Group, also got out of the car.

Upon seeing Du Yusheng, the dark-skinned, chubby young man's eyes immediately lit up.

"Xu Kun did a good job bumping into us, he gave us an opportunity." The chubby young man took out a palm-sized butterfly knife from his pocket.

"Brother Wang, the guy next to Du Yusheng seems to be a big shot. Look at Du Yusheng's fawning smile. Should we tie this guy up too?" The tall young man was getting a little nervous.

"What's the point of tying him up? Do you think we can leave here? We'll subdue Du Yusheng right here and force him to raise his internet fees!" The chubby young man shouted, grabbing a butterfly knife and charging towards Du Yusheng.

Du Yusheng was still concerned about whether the man on the ground was alive or dead. The moment he turned his head, he saw two young men rushing menacingly towards him.

"Protect the Emperor! Protect the Emperor!" Du Yusheng was so frightened that the hairs on his body stood on end. In his desperation, he even shouted out a line from a movie or TV show.

The moment the two young men stood up, Du Yusheng's two bodyguards noticed something was wrong. One bodyguard blocked Du Yusheng's path, while the other rushed towards the two men.

He used a grappling technique to grab the fat, dark-skinned youth's right hand that was holding the knife, and then threw him heavily over his back.

The fall nearly knocked the chubby young man's breakfast out of his hand.

Upon seeing how formidable the bodyguard was, the tall young man behind him was startled. Just as he was about to turn and run, he spotted Qian Buqun, who had an arrogant expression, not far away.

Knowing he couldn't escape, the tall young man gritted his teeth and rushed to Qian Buqun's side.

His left arm gripped Qian Buqun's neck tightly, while his right hand held the butterfly knife directly to Qian Buqun's throat.

"?" Qian Buqun was a little confused.

What's going on?

It wasn't until Qian Buqun was subdued that his two bodyguards in sunglasses realized what was happening.

The two bodyguards stared blankly at the tall young man, completely at a loss.

Is the public security in Jingzhou City really that bad? How could someone take someone hostage in broad daylight, under the clear blue sky?

Moreover, is this industry really that corrupt? They're even willing to sacrifice a person to force a vehicle to stop.

It must be said that this move was indeed a brilliant and unexpected one. After all, even if they racked their brains, they would never have imagined that someone would go to such lengths to kidnap a target.
