Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 527 Hesitation leads to chaos.

Cao Zhengze's naval forces already represent the pinnacle of Chinese civilization.

With the promotion and incitement of his team, players in several Southeast Asian countries were excited and their blood was boiling.

They called on their friends and started preparing for the public beta test on September 28.

By September 21, the number of registered accounts on the overseas version of Honghuang Zhanji had exceeded 2 million.

Although there's a lot of exaggeration involved, it does, to some extent, demonstrate that their hype was successful.

However, good news and bad news often coexist. Although the overseas version of "The Legend of the Primordial Era" is progressing smoothly, the satellite dish project in Europe has encountered great resistance.

As for the Americas, it can't be called an obstacle; it's practically impossible to make any progress.

Out of respect for the Rothschild family, they did not prevent Universal Television's programs from entering television channels in the European and American markets, but they did not allow satellite dishes to enter.

This is the true face of capitalists.

They want the Asian market, but they won't allow Universal Vision to build its own television satellite stations.

In addition to this, there is more bad news: Lei Jun is injured.

For the past two months, Lei Jun has been traveling to various capitalist families in Europe, using his distinctive local English to persuade them. At the same time, under the operation of Enze Capital, he has been frequently appearing on various television stations to give his testimony.

Lei Jun's appearance was inherently benevolent, and coupled with his actions of resisting tyranny, he quickly gained a large number of supporters.

Some people even suspect that this guy is planning to run for president of some small European country.

Otherwise, why would they go to such lengths to cultivate a persona?
He was injured shortly afterward.

Lei Jun's timing in lying down was excellent.

When you repeat things over and over again, people eventually get tired of hearing them.

Lei Jun lay down just as everyone was getting tired of listening.

So, everyone who was tired immediately perked up.

The energized European people immediately turned their attention to Microsoft.

Suddenly, the crowd was excited.

In the past two months, Microsoft did send several groups of people to try to shut Lei Jun up, but all of them failed. This time, they finally succeeded, but Microsoft was unhappy instead.

Because they weren't the ones who did it.

"Is Lei Jun's injury serious?" Cheng Yi asked over the phone.

On the other end of the phone was Zhang Bao, who had been staying in Yemen.

Zhang Bao said, "It's nothing serious, just a hit from a bottle."

"Oh, then it's not too serious." Cheng Yi nodded.

“An unopened bottle of red wine,” Zhang Bao added.

Cheng Yi's tone lowered slightly as he said, "Didn't I tell you to use an empty bottle?"

Zhang Bao said somewhat aggrievedly, "Don't even mention it, it wasn't one of our people who did it."

"Oh?" Cheng Yi found this somewhat interesting.

Zhang Bao said, "In the past two months, we have injured more than a dozen brothers in order to protect him. Those who attacked him are really omnipresent. But this time it is indeed our responsibility."

“We were so focused on hitting him with an empty bottle to create a spectacle that we let our guard down,” Zhang Bao said. “The person who did it was a fanatical German.”

"Do you know who sent them?" Cheng Yi asked.

“It’s definitely not Microsoft. Most of the people Microsoft sent are under our surveillance,” Zhang Bao said. “And if Microsoft were to make a move, it definitely wouldn’t be with a wine bottle.”

"That means there are others who share our idea and want to provoke the anger of Europeans." Cheng Yi pondered, "Who could be behind this?"

Zhang Bao said, "I'll investigate further."

"Okay," Cheng Yi replied and hung up the phone.

Zhang Bao now has very good relations with some warlords in the Middle East and West Asia. He also has his own armed forces in Yemen and can be considered one of the warlords in Yemen.

In addition to the three major warlord factions that most people are familiar with, there are more than 190 local tribal armed groups in Yemen.

The place where Zhang Bao lived was a small tribe called Dorian.

This small tribe originally had only 2000 armed men and an area the size of an ordinary town in China. But since Zhang Bao arrived, the area controlled by this small tribe has tripled, and its armed forces have increased from the initial 2000 millet rifles to the current 5000 rocket launchers.

The Dorian tribe is located on the west side of the sea and is a small port town.

In Yemen, apart from the four core tribes such as the Hashid and Haqqa, which possess tens of thousands of armed forces, the other tribes generally only have a few thousand armed forces. They also fight against each other and have a relatively strong ability to govern their own communities.

A year ago, the chief of the Dorian tribe was unfortunately hit by a cannonball during a friendly sparring match with a neighboring tribe. Although the cannonball did not explode, he died.

This chief had 7 wives, 5 sons, and 19 daughters. In order to stabilize the chaos in the Dorian tribe, Zhang Bao had no choice but to sacrifice his looks and marry the chief's most beautiful daughter, and also support the chief's youngest son to succeed as chief.

With 3000 heavily armed Black Panther mercenaries, he not only turned the tide for the Dorian tribe, but also managed to incorporate the tribe that had killed its chief by firing a dud.

In order to keep the tribe in check, Zhang Bao had no choice but to sacrifice his virtue once again and marry the tribe chief's most beautiful daughter.

To be fair, these chiefs really live like emperors, with wives who are all incredibly beautiful and daughters who are all mixed-race.

Because of the long-standing turmoil in Yemen and the large number of women compared to men, it has become one of the few countries in the Middle East where polygamy is practiced.

Zhang Bao now controls two docks, making him a formidable warlord force in the Middle East.

In addition, the two docks of the Dorian tribe became transit points for Huang Fei's smuggling operations, and he could earn hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue from Huang Fei alone every year.

In addition, like other warlords, their main source of income was providing hardcore entry services such as espionage and mercenary services in Europe and the United States.

There are many advantages to hiring Middle Eastern warlords. The first advantage is that it is cheap. The price of hiring one person from Blackwater can hire a whole squad from a warlord.

The second advantage is that even if the mission fails, no one can trace the clues. After all, there are too many warlords in the Middle East, and their identities are all messed up. Even if you want to investigate, you won't have any clues. Blackwater is different. Blackwater members have detailed numbers and American identities. As long as they die, it is easy to find out the identity information of the member.

This is also why many business giants like Middle Eastern mercenaries.

The Blizzard Cup global esports tournament has now entered its second phase, with the qualifying rounds in various countries rapidly approaching their final stages.

Cheng Yi was somewhat annoyed that Europe and the United States had blocked the promotion of satellite dishes.

If even the Rothschilds couldn't solve it, he certainly couldn't either.

However, it's not all bad news. At the very least, Universal Television has now secured its entry into the European television market, meaning their programs can still be broadcast in Europe even without satellite dishes.

"Plans can never keep up with changes." Cheng Yi put down the phone and began to think of a solution.

Microsoft is simply too large; their influence far outweighs that of himself and Enze Capital.

With Microsoft blocking the way, it's unlikely that this satellite dish will be able to enter the European and American markets.

Cheng Yi habitually picked up a pen and scribbled strange lines haphazardly on his sketchbook.

He filled one drawing after another, his brain working at full speed.

The conventional approach is completely blocked.

I can only think of crooked ways.

Cheng Yi turned and looked at the world map hanging on the wall, his gaze settling on the European and American tectonic plates. Gradually, his gaze shifted to the map of Asia.

If you don't look closely, you really won't know that Asia is so big.

“One, two, three…” Cheng Yi carefully counted the number of countries in Asia.

48...

He turned on his computer and searched for the population of Asia.

Good guy.

Do not check, I don’t know, I’m scared.

38.7 million.

They make up two-thirds of the world's population.

Cheng Yi took a deep breath, and an idea gradually formed in his mind.

It's unrealistic to expect to get rich overnight.

Microsoft can do it, but Momo Group and Enze Capital cannot.

It's only been four months, and the money is already flowing out like water.

He couldn't imagine how much money he would need to invest in the remaining five months.

Looking back, Momo Group is now at a crossroads of life and death. If it fails this time, it can only retreat to the domestic market, whipping Tencent, Alibaba, Sina, Sohu, NetEase, etc., and making them compete with each other, earning itself tens of billions every year.

The thought of such a life filled him with despair.

He wasn't actually interested in money. His happiest time was when he first opened those internet cafes in Jingzhou City.

"We have to cut back." A ruthless glint flashed in Cheng Yi's eyes.

In this era, the most dangerous thing is indecisiveness.

Hesitation when you should make a decision will inevitably lead to chaos; decisiveness when you should refrain from action is not the mark of a hero.

"I really should have studied geography properly back then," Cheng Yi said with a sigh as he began to organize his thoughts.

Looking back on his past and present lives, he only now realizes how wise the "six corridors, six routes, multiple countries, and multiple ports" policy, which the nation had promoted with all its might in his previous life, was.

You only truly understand these policy-related issues when you encounter them firsthand.

Why insist on embracing Europe and the Americas?
Why is it necessary to pursue a global strategy?

The European and American markets are already completely sealed off.

Forcing your way in will only result in getting hurt.

In fact, most people are like this: they have a gold mine right under their noses, but they just can't see it and instead try to find ways to cause trouble in other people's homes.

East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, West Asia, North Asia, and Central Asia.

Once we capture the market of 40 billion people in these six major regions, what are the European and American markets of 10 billion people?
At this moment, Cheng Yi's mind was completely opened.

They abandoned all markets in Europe, America, Africa, and Australia.

We will concentrate all our human, material, and financial resources to launch a decisive battle against the dumping of European and American capital in Asia.

The European market is complex and extremely exclusive, but it can be a source of high-tech innovation.

The American market is a place where the poor are starving and the rich are dying of wealth. It's so free that you can sanction whomever you want, and laws can be freely amended. They can take everything away from you at any time.

In the African market, even if you bring a satellite dish there, it's basically used for collecting sunlight to grill meat.

As for the Australian market...

slightly.

Cheng Yi thought about it and formulated a detailed plan.

In Europe, more investment is needed, but satellite dishes will no longer be promoted. The funds will be mainly used for technology purchases, acquisitions of emerging industries, and building Universal Vision's television station into a branded television channel in Europe.

In the Americas, one can freely and happily engage in smuggling.

Anyway, everyone's involved in smuggling these days.

Moreover, given Microsoft's repeated provocations, he had to teach Microsoft a lesson.

Having clarified his thoughts, Cheng Yi immediately opened his email and sent Mike an encrypted email, instructing Mike to disband all satellite dish promotion teams outside of Asia in the name of Enze Capital.

These marketing teams alone consume tens of millions of dollars in expenses every day.

Disbanding these satellite dish promotion teams is also a minor trouble for Microsoft.

These promotion teams were local bigwigs in their respective countries, and they were just waiting to make money. Now, due to the interference of Microsoft and American capital, Enze Capital unilaterally announced the disbandment of the promotion teams in various countries. The livelihoods of tens of thousands of people have been instantly shattered, which will keep Microsoft's public relations team busy for a while.

However, these are just appetizers.

He picked up his phone and dialed Li Xiang's number.

Li Xiang has been incredibly busy lately, with all the satellite dish production lines in China concentrated in several of Honor Computer's factories.

Honor Computer now has branch factories in six provinces, employing more than 60,000 people.

Because Jiang Yuxi's team found a way to achieve both, after two months of promotion, the satellite dish finally gained recognition from the National Information Industry Association and was included in the Satellite Dish Household Access Project.

With the inclusion of satellite dishes in the "Household Connectivity" system, the promotion of satellite dishes around the world has accelerated even further, keeping Honor Computer's six satellite dish manufacturers extremely busy.

However, this kind of busy work doesn't generate much profit. The price of securing the "Household Connectivity Project" is still giving up profits to the local finance department.

"Big brother." Li Xiang's voice was a little hoarse, obviously because he had been too busy lately.

Cheng Yi asked, "Is the satellite dish stable?"

"It's pretty much stable now," Li responded. "There was a small problem a while ago, but it's been resolved. Now the heads of the six factories are all very responsible."

"Okay, then you should rest for a few days. We're getting ready to do something big," Cheng Yi said with a smile.

"Big news? What big news?" Li Xiang was taken aback.

Cheng Yi laughed and said, "It's time for our computers to go out to sea."

As soon as Cheng Yi said those words, Li Xiang felt the hairs on his entire body stand on end.

He said in a trembling voice, "It's time to start the computer business?"

Cheng Yi nodded and said, "Yes, but not Honor computers. Go to Yantai City and set up a new factory, bring our technical team there, and call the computer brand Feixiang. Position it as an export computer."

Li Xiang didn't quite understand yet.

Cheng Yi said directly, "You can handle it. You only need to be responsible for production. You don't need to worry about anything else."

"Okay," Li Xiang replied quickly.

Cheng Yi hung up the phone and dialed Huang Fei's number again, laughing, "Brother Fei, want to make some money together?"
