Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 498 Du Yusheng is hospitalized yet again.
Tang Jun's appointment as president of Microsoft's China region is no small feat.

After much deliberation, he finally decided to break the whole thing down into smaller parts.

Since they couldn't shake Momo Group in Handong Province, they decided to target Momo Group's businesses outside of Handong Province.

Momo Group has businesses all over the country, and these businesses can all be targets.

Computer stores selling green versions of XP in various districts and counties, Momo virtual equipment trading website, and on-the-ground sales channels can all become their targets.

In addition, Microsoft will use its network of intermediaries in various regions to launch a concentrated attack on Momo Group's various industries.

These days, how many people are completely clean?
If you dig deep enough, you'll always find something.

Microsoft China's strategic shift immediately yielded remarkable results.

Computer stores in many districts and counties were the first to be hit. In March alone, they filed more than 3 lawsuits. Many computer store owners had never been involved in a lawsuit before. When they were suddenly sued by Microsoft, their first feeling was that the sky had fallen.

They didn't even know how to deal with it; they had no choice but to obediently wait to lose the case and pay the fine.

Just when they were in despair, Momo Group also mobilized its legal department.

A series of policies on litigation and compensation on behalf of clients have, to some extent, barely managed to stem Microsoft's second attack.

But this is only to a certain extent.

Momo Group's current actions have aroused the hatred of many brokers, who are using their local networks to frequently target Momo Internet cafes and various branches of the Momo virtual equipment trading website.

Momo Group's sudden expansion into such a large scale has kept the entire group extremely busy.

"Ugh, this is terrible." In the evening, Du Yusheng, who had just returned from making connections in Guangdong Province, sat in his Mercedes-Benz and felt somewhat out of his body.

During this period, he kept running around to fight fires.

To deal with these brokers, it is necessary to cultivate relationships with the local government.

This is also one of Du Yusheng's strengths.

At present, the brokers in Guangdong and Anhui provinces have finally quieted down.

Next, he will rush to Beilu Province to fight the fire.

By stabilizing the key provinces where Momo Internet Cafes are located, Momo Group can ensure that its cash flow will not be affected.

Microsoft's influence in China is too deeply entrenched; it's something that a group that's only been established for two or three years can't possibly contend with.

At 10 p.m., Du Yusheng's car arrived at the intersection of the provincial highway and the expressway entrance.

Just as the car turned into the bend, a van without license plates suddenly rushed out from the other side of the bend.

The van crashed into the Mercedes-Benz in front of it, smashing the Mercedes-Benz to its side on the side of the road.

Immediately afterwards, two more unlicensed vans appeared speeding behind and crashed violently into the Mercedes behind them.

The two Mercedes-Benz cars swerved sharply, attempting to shield the Mercedes-Benz carrying Du Yusheng in the middle.

"Take the chairman away! Quickly!" the driver of the Mercedes in front roared, shifting into reverse and ramming the van behind.

Just as he was about to ram the van in front of him, he saw a large group of taxis rushing in from both sides, completely blocking the road.

The door of the van that had been hit on the side of the road opened, and a large group of burly men wielding weapons rushed out.

The leader was bald, with a hideous scar on his face.

He brandished a knife and shouted, "Damn it, you dare to ruin my livelihood? Cut me down!"

Du Yusheng's driver and bodyguard, Duan Honglang, was a retired soldier with a very calm demeanor. He quickly opened the car door, pulled Du Yusheng out, and said, "Chairman, come with me!"

Du Yusheng has experienced this kind of thing far too many times; it happens several times almost every month.

Therefore, he did not show any sign of panic.

At this moment, a number of people had already jumped out of the three vans.

They tried to head straight for Du Yusheng, but were desperately blocked by eight bodyguards in two Mercedes-Benz cars.

Under the cover of night, there is no distinction between skill levels.

The bodyguards were just blocking the way, giving Du Yusheng a chance to escape, while the bald man and his group only wanted to send Du Yusheng to his death.

"Jump!" Duan Honglang grabbed Du Yusheng and jumped off the bridge.

Du Yusheng landed on the dry riverbed and was immediately stunned.

"Chase him! Don't let him get away!" the bald, burly man roared.

A large number of men rushed out of the taxis in front and behind, and began to grope their way down the bridge.

Duan Honglang dared not delay. He carried Du Yusheng on his back and rushed desperately into the reeds on both sides of the riverbed.

The next day, a shocking news story made headlines in the Handong Daily.

The chairman of Momo Group was attacked at night and hospitalized; his condition is unknown. One of his bodyguards sustained minor injuries, while eight others were seriously injured.

This news immediately caused an uproar in Jingzhou.

At this moment, the usual cheerful atmosphere in the canteen of Honor Computer Factory No. 2 had disappeared.

Hundreds of young people simply buried their heads in their food, eating heartily. At that moment, it was as if the air itself had frozen, creating a very oppressive atmosphere.

"Fuck you! I'm not eating anymore!" With a loud slam, a young man slammed his rice bowl on the ground, breaking the silence of the cafeteria.

He was panting heavily when he said, "Say something, all of you! Are you all mute? When we were released from prison, we had no relatives or friends. It was Chairman Du who took us in. Now that Chairman Du has been treated like this, are we just going to fucking put up with it?"

Honor Computer Factory No. 2 is a very special factory, where all the employees are released prisoners.

Most of them were imprisoned for excessive self-defense, while some were imprisoned because they were framed.

As long as their cases are not malicious acts committed by subjective intent, Honor Computer Factory No. 2 is willing to take them in.

Factory No. 3 was established in March 2002 under the leadership of Huang Wenrong. Because Huang Wenrong had been rained on, he wanted to provide a small umbrella for these people.

These days, there are far too many cases of excessive self-defense.

The young man who smashed the bowl was named Wu Qiang. He intervened after witnessing his girlfriend being bullied by thugs, and was sentenced to six years in prison. His girlfriend waited for him outside the prison for six years.

After his release from prison, he and his girlfriend searched for a long time for a job, but no one was willing to take him in as a released convict. When he heard about Honor Computer's No. 2 factory, he went there and not only became a formal employee of Honor Computer, but also received a good salary.

Six months after joining the company, he got married with the help of Honor Computer and was even assigned a bachelor apartment.

On the day of his wedding, even Du Yusheng, who happened to be passing by, participated in his wedding.

That was the most glorious moment of his life. The moment he took a photo with Du Yusheng, he regarded Du Yusheng as his greatest benefactor.

But now, the fate of his benefactor is unknown.

“Qiangzi, we also wish we could kill those guys, but we’re afraid of causing trouble for the group,” said a slightly older man. “In that case, I’ll resign!” Wu Qiang said, a fierce glint in his eyes. “Microsoft must have done this. I’m going to Zhonghai to cancel their accounts right now.”

“Brother Wu, let me go. You’ve been married for less than a year, and I’m all alone.” A young man finished his chicken leg, stood up, and grinned. “I have no parents, and no one will remember me when I die. Just remember to burn some paper money for me during festivals.”

“No, you’re still young. I’ll go.” The slightly older man also stood up.

"I go!"

"I go!"

Soon, the entire cafeteria was in an uproar. Once that fighting spirit is ignited, it's very difficult to suppress.

“Alright, let’s draw lots for life and death!” Wu Qiang stood on the table and shouted, “Ten lots. Whoever draws the lot will resign and do this job. From now on, your parents will be the parents of all of us.”

"Alright! Let's draw lots!"

At this time, Momo Group was also furious because of this heinous incident.

With such a major incident, finding the murderer shouldn't be difficult.

On the second day after Du Yusheng was hospitalized, all the people involved in the case were arrested in Guangdong Province.

The person who led the attack was Chen Quan, nicknamed Bald Quan, the driver of Cao Qiwei, a taxi tycoon in Guangdong Province.

After being arrested, Chen Quan immediately took all the blame upon himself.

In general, once someone takes the blame in these kinds of cases, the case is considered closed.

Although everyone suspected that Cao Qiwei was behind it, they couldn't very well arrest and interrogate this taxi tycoon who was worth billions, could they?
Many people interpret this as a warning from Cao Qiwei to Momo Group.

Cao Qiwei was a well-known broker in Guangdong Province, with connections and influence reaching far and wide.

With Du Yusheng hospitalized, all the miscellaneous tasks of the group fell on Cheng Yi's shoulders. On the one hand, he sent the director of the administrative department to Beilu Province to take over the work that Du Yusheng had not yet completed. On the other hand, he dispatched a large number of security personnel into Guangdong Province.

Cao Qiwei's actions against Du Yusheng were just the beginning. Guangdong Province is one of the main provinces where Momo Internet Cafe operates, so it wouldn't be difficult for Cao Qiwei to suppress Momo Internet Cafe if he wanted to.

"President Cheng, should we retaliate?" Li Weiwei asked softly, standing next to Cheng Yi.

Cheng Yi slowly shook his head, lit a cigarette, and looked down at the bustling Momo Commercial Plaza below.

Li Weiwei said, "This incident has had a very negative impact on us. Many people are watching how we respond. If our response is too weak, other provinces will probably follow suit."

"Hmm." Cheng Yi nodded and said, "Let me think about it."

Such things are commonplace among international IT giants. Companies like IBM, SAP, Microsoft, Oracle, and HP all have connections with European and American military enterprises, especially Microsoft, which has direct ties with European and American military enterprises.

Compared to competition on their scale, these domestic squabbles are minor skirmishes. After all, for these international IT giants, even a small skirmish is normal.

"Have you checked Cao Qiwei's information?" Cheng Yi asked.

“I checked,” Li Weiwei said. “Cao Qiwei’s taxi company owns 15325 Jetta taxis, which are spread throughout Guangdong Province. His assets are 35 billion yuan. Cao Qiwei also has a business consulting company, which mainly provides intermediary services to large enterprises.”

"What about his personal relationships?" Cheng Yi asked again.

“Cao Qiwei’s wife lives in Hong Kong, and he also has 19 mistresses in various industries.” Li Weiwei took out a file folder and handed it to Cheng Yi.

The folder was full of photos of beautiful women, each with a description of the woman behind it.

These beautiful women were all Cao Qiwei's mistresses.

"Okay." Cheng Yi flicked the ash from his cigarette and said, "Call Bai Yiheng over here."

"Yes." Li Weiwei immediately left the office.

A short while later, Bai Yiheng rushed in and said, "President Cheng."

Cheng Yi glanced at Li Weiwei and said, "Weiwei, go out first and close the door."

"Okay." Li Weiwei glanced at Bai Yiheng with some reluctance, then lowered her head and left the office.

She knew that she hadn't achieved anything yet and couldn't enter the core circle of Momo Group.

Cheng Yi threw the file bag in front of Bai Yiheng and said, "These are Cao Qiwei's mistresses. Find a handsome gigolo, pretend to be a rich second-generation, and help me get one of them."

"He can spend whatever he wants under 30 million. I just want speed," Cheng Yi said.

Bai Yiheng's heart skipped a beat. He picked up the file folder and said, "President Cheng, what happens after we take it?"

"After you've won her over, just have this woman persuade Cao Qiwei to go on a trip to Thailand. You don't need to worry about the rest," Cheng Yi said calmly.

"Okay." Bai Yiheng picked up the file bag and said, "I'll take care of it right away! It's easy to win over this kind of woman. As long as you pay enough, it can be done in three days at most."

"Hmm." Cheng Yi stood up, his eyes chillingly cold.

If the opponent uses business tactics, then he will use business tactics in return.

If the other party uses dirty methods, his methods can also become dirty.

After Bai Yiheng left, Cheng Yi picked up his phone and dialed Zhang Bao's number.

As long as Cao Qiwei leaves China, it's as if he's entered Zhang Bao's territory.

Zhang Bao is now living the life of a warlord, and he's having an incredibly happy time.

Just as Cheng Yi finished making the arrangements, Li Xiang called.

As soon as the call connected, Li Xiang excitedly said, "Brother, the employees of Factory No. 2 drew lots for life and death, and the ten winners have already driven to Zhonghai City."

"What do they want to do?" Cheng Yi was taken aback.

“They won’t say, but I think it’s definitely related to Chairman Du’s matter this time,” Li Xiang said in a trembling voice. “They wouldn’t be thinking of going to Microsoft China to demand an explanation, would they?”

Cheng Yi's eyes narrowed sharply, and he cursed, "What kind of explanation do you want? They're trying to help them cancel their accounts! How long have they been gone?"

“It’s been almost forty minutes,” Li Xiang replied.

"How can you be a general manager? Such a big thing happened, and you only found out about it almost forty minutes later?" Cheng Yi was furious.

Knowing he had failed in his duty, Li Xiang dared not make excuses and quickly said, "I have already sent six cars to chase after them."

"There are so many roads to Zhonghai, how are you going to track it down? Do you even know the license plate number?" Cheng Yi asked.

“They’ll definitely change license plate numbers along the way,” Li Xiang stammered. “After all, they all have criminal records.”

"Don't keep referring to him as someone with a criminal record." Cheng Yi knew that Li Xiang had always been resistant to Factory No. 2, which was why it took him so long to find out about this.

It's not Li Xiang's fault; any normal person would have some degree of discrimination against people who have been to prison.

Li Xiang quickly responded, adding, "They were driving a silver Wuling minivan; the color of that car definitely can't be changed."
