Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 632 A Frank Talk (First Update)
He should indeed be grateful, because if it weren't for Momo taking over, other groups would have offered even harsher terms.

They are now completely insolvent, with refunds from their agents alone amounting to over a billion yuan.

"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Wu." Cheng Yi stood up, extended his hand to Wu Jun, and said, "Momo Group will give the Shenzhou brand a new lease on life in the future. Believe me, this is not the end, but a new beginning."

Wu Jun struggled to his feet, grasped Cheng Yi's hand, and forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, saying, "I'm counting on you, Mr. Cheng."

At that moment, he was filled with mixed feelings: resentment, relief, and an indescribable shock.

He had fully experienced the methods of the young man before him—swift and decisive, yet seemingly standing on a moral high ground looking down on him.

At such a young age, he already possessed the potential to become a powerful and ruthless leader.

No wonder he was able to manage such a large group so well.

"No need to ask me, it's me who needs to ask you," Cheng Yi said with a smile.

"Please ask me?" Wu Jun was taken aback.

Cheng Yi raised his hand, and Li Weiwei immediately placed a document in his hand.

Cheng Yi handed the document to Wu Jun and said, "Mr. Wu, please take a look at this document first. If you'd like, please sign it."

Wu Jun stared at the title of the contract document in his hand.

Agreement on the appointment of Mr. Wu Jun as President and CEO of Digital China Computer Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Momo Group.

Wu Jun felt a buzzing in his brain, and his vision even went black.

He blinked hard, wondering if he was hallucinating due to exhaustion and anxiety.

President? CEO?

Digital China Computer Corporation?

Does it still exist?

Moreover, he will continue to be in charge?

This, how is this possible?

He suddenly looked at Cheng Yi, his lips trembling, but he couldn't utter a single word.

The stark contrast left him completely unable to think.

One second he was a bankrupt business owner about to lose everything, the next he was invited to take the reins of the brand again. Although ownership had changed hands, this was an outcome he could hardly have imagined.

To acquire your own company and then put yourself in charge—that takes a lot of confidence.

Seeing his shocked and bewildered expression, Cheng Yi said calmly, "President Wu, no one understands the Shenzhou Computer brand better than you, and no one wants it to thrive more than you. Momo Group's acquisition of it is not to shelve it, but to revitalize it. I believe that you are still the most suitable person to shoulder this responsibility."

"But...why? I...I just lost to Lianxiang..." Wu Jun was somewhat incoherent.

"In business competition, success and failure are common occurrences." Cheng Yi smiled and said, "The amount of resources behind you can also determine the outcome of a business battle. Let bygones be bygones. I hope you are looking at the future. Shenzhou Computer needs a new future, a future that will take the lead in China and replace Lianxiang."

At this moment, Wu Jun was overwhelmed with mixed feelings, so many emotions intertwined that he didn't know what to say.

He got it completely.

From the very beginning, Cheng Yi's goal was not to defeat Lianxiang, but to destroy all computer manufacturers.

The previous ruthless measures, the fatal blow in 1999, and even that harsh acquisition agreement were probably all paving the way for this current favor.

This was also to make him grateful and willingly serve Momo Group.

What ruthless methods! What deep scheming! What audacious ambition!
At such a young age, he has managed to master the art of using both kindness and severity, and of exploiting and reusing others to such an extent.

Wu Jun is no newcomer; he has worked his way up in the business world.

He had only doubted it before, but now he was 100% sure.

No wonder this man was able to utterly destroy the Lianxiang Group; his cunning and ruthlessness are completely out of character for his age.

As he thought about it, Wu Jun broke out in a cold sweat.

But at the same time, an irrepressible hope rekindled in his heart, which had been ashen: to continue to rule China, to take revenge on Lianxiang who had driven him to the brink of despair, and to realize his ambitions on a more powerful platform.

The temptation is just too great.

He took a deep breath, trying to make his voice sound calm, and said, "President Cheng... I... what do I need to do?"

"Sign it, then come to my office." Cheng Yi pointed to the contract in Wu Jun's hand again.

Without further hesitation, Wu Jun picked up a pen and signed his name on all the contracts and the employment agreement.

After signing the papers, Wu Jun followed Cheng Yi to the office.

Li Weiwei quietly slipped out and closed the door behind her.

Only Cheng Yi and the slightly awkward Wu Jun remained in the room.

"Please sit down, Mr. Wu. We're on the same side now." Cheng Yi gestured to the sofa, then sat down opposite Wu Jun and personally poured him a cup of hot tea.

The steam from the tea slightly dispelled the chill in Wu Jun's heart.

He took the teacup with both hands, waiting for Cheng Yi to continue.

"Mr. Wu, are you curious why I still need you?" Cheng Yi asked bluntly.

Wu Jun smiled wryly and nodded: "Yes, with President Cheng's methods and Momo's strength, he can easily send his own people to take over Shenzhou. Letting me continue to manage it, especially a group of familiar people, is very risky."

“There are risks, but the rewards are greater.” Cheng Yi smiled and said, “I don’t like beating around the bush. I’ve asked you here today to have an open and honest conversation with you.”

"First, let me tell you my ultimate goal." Cheng Yi's voice wasn't loud, but every word struck Wu Jun's heart: "What I want is never just to defeat Lianxiang or seize a certain market share. What I want is to completely control the PC market in China, and even the absolute right to speak in the future, even larger markets. So, Shenzhou will die not because Lianxiang is targeting you, but because I want it to die. Similarly, Lianxiang will also die; it's only a matter of time."

Wu Jun gasped. Although he had already figured it out in his mind, hearing Cheng Yi's blatant admission still sent a chill down his spine. But how much power would it take to control the national PC market and overthrow Lianxiang's position in the PC industry?

"You think it's impossible?" Cheng Yi seemed to see through his thoughts, smiled, and said, "To be honest, the production cost of our Glory computers is only two-thirds of yours, or even lower. Many European semiconductor companies sell you components with added profits, but they sell us components without added profits. So you are destined to lose, and you will lose badly."

Wu Jun was completely stunned.

He only knew that Momo Group was the dominant force in China's internet cafe and gaming industries, but he never imagined that Momo Group had such a good relationship with European semiconductor companies.

Cheng Yi's tone was full of absolute confidence as he laughed, "That's why I'm giving you a chance now, a chance to take revenge on those forces that once drove you to the brink of despair. Use the sharpened blade of Shenzhou Computer to confidently and boldly strike back."

Wu Jun's heart pounded wildly, and his blood seemed to ignite at that moment.

Revenge! This is the thought that every loser dreams of.

"Why me?" Wu Jun's voice was a little hoarse.

"Because you have experience, hatred, and the kind of resilience I want to see. At the very least, when faced with such a huge crisis, you didn't think about running away, but instead thought about finding a place for your employees and your brand." Cheng Yi laughed and said, "Doesn't it sound ridiculous for a bad guy like me to say something like that?"

Wu Jun did not answer.

He didn't think Cheng Yi was telling the truth.

Judging from Cheng Yi's methods, it always feels strange for him to say such things.

“So, from now on, Momo Group will provide you with unprecedented support: top-notch supply chain cost control, Momo’s massive traffic portal, unparalleled offline channel network, and most importantly, funding and backing.” Cheng Yi stared at him and said, “You just need to use your expertise and go all out to do Lianxiang. With Momo Group backing you up, you don’t need to have any worries.”

“I understand. Anyway, I’ve already experienced the worst outcome.” The hesitation in Wu Jun’s eyes was gradually replaced by a ruthless glint.

He suddenly raised his head, looking at Cheng Yi with some excitement, and said, "President Cheng, thank you for being so frank with me. I, Wu Jun, may not be able to speak for others, but I do have some say in the PC market."

“Very good, that’s the confidence I need.” Cheng Yi nodded in satisfaction and said, “Li Xiang and General Manager Huang will cooperate with you on the specific integration plan. Remember, the new Shenzhou is no longer the Shenzhou that fought alone before. It is now a link in the unfamiliar ecosystem chain, so your strategy will also need to change accordingly.”

"Yes!"

After receiving Cheng Yi's instructions and full authorization, Wu Jun regained his fighting spirit.

He immediately threw himself into the restructuring of Shenzhou Computer, almost to the point of neglecting to eat or sleep.

The first thing he did was to act decisively and completely abandon the agent model that had once enabled China to rise rapidly but ultimately dragged it into the abyss.

All previous agency agreements shall be terminated or liquidated as required by the acquisition agreement.

Although this move caused some short-term pain and disputes, these disputes were quickly quelled with the support of Momo Group's legal and financial departments.

He then demonstrated remarkable execution skills and a profound understanding of Momo Group's resource integration.

Instead of rebuilding the traditional computer mall channels, he made a decision that astonished all his peers: to fully connect with Momo Group's vast offline network covering districts and counties across the country.

Every district and county's "Virtual Equipment Trading Center" now displays a new sign: "Shenzhou Computer Community Service and Sales Point".

These outlets, which extend deep into districts and counties, instantly became the forefront for Hasee Computer to reach the lower-tier markets.

Wu Jun has been working in the PC industry for many years and has accumulated a deep network of contacts. He adopted the partnership model commonly used by Hasee Computer, cooperating with local computer repair personnel to provide 24-hour on-site after-sales service for Hasee Computer.

If a computer malfunctions, a single phone call will bring a local repairman to your door to resolve the issue, greatly alleviating consumers' concerns about after-sales service in lower-tier markets.

These are the key factors that enabled Hasee Computer to rise to prominence and gain a foothold in the market in just a few years.

At the same time, Wu Jun made full use of another trump card under Momo Group, the Universal Vision TV shopping channel.

He kept going to the Huanyu Vision China Operations Center and worked with Jiang Yuxi's team to plan several large-scale "Haoyu Computer Thanksgiving Feedback" live broadcast events.

Thanks to its brand recognition already established in third- and fourth-tier markets, the highly persuasive sales pitches and strategies of TV shopping such as limited-time flash sales and free gift packages for phone calls, coupled with the endorsement of Momo Group, Shenzhou Computer's orders finally began to steadily increase.

In terms of offline promotion, Wu Jun combined Shenzhou's original sales team with Momo Group's strong offline promotion team, and launched activities such as painting walls and giving away eggs and sending mobile promotional vehicles to rural areas for the rural market.

The relatively bright bungalows along the roadside almost all had advertisements for Hasee computers painted on their walls, proclaiming, "Hasee computers are great!"

And in the most crucial supply chain, the changes are even more dramatic.

Hasee has completely abandoned its previous reliance on Taiwanese and American suppliers and fully integrated into Honor's supply chain system.

Motherboard, memory, hard drive, graphics card...

Almost all core components have been replaced with custom hardware that is deeply adapted to the Moc-os system and produced by European small and medium-sized enterprises invested by Enze Capital.

Although these small European factories are not well-known, they have solid technology and strong cost control capabilities. More importantly, they are completely under the control of Enze Capital, thus avoiding the risk of being held hostage.

In order to avoid the risks of unfair low-price competition.

Hasee replaced all its inventory computers with the Moc-OS system and labeled them with the Honor Computer logo, and shipped them all to various Asian countries to generate profits.

The remaining Honor V1 computers were all rebranded with Hasee and continued to be supplied to the domestic market, maintaining the price of 1999 yuan.

With a brand-new model, a brand-new supply chain, and brand-new channels, coupled with the full-fledged leadership of veteran Wu Jun, the reborn Hasee Computer, after a month of rest and recuperation, unleashed a terrifying energy.

Its product line has been restructured, focusing on practicality and extreme cost-effectiveness, perfectly covering all needs in the price range of 1500-3500 yuan.

With Hasee computers supporting the market, Honor computers resumed supplying the Asian market, temporarily withdrawing from the domestic PC competition.

Within a week of the integration being completed, Hasee's order volume increased exponentially.

The factory production lines operate day and night, yet they still cannot meet the enormous demand.

The former industrial park of Hasee Computer was quickly transformed into the fifth computer industrial park of Honor Computer.

To meet the sales demand of Hasee computers, Li Xiang allocated three computer industrial parks to produce Hasee computers.

The market report is updated every three days.

Shenzhou Computer's market share in China also increased at an almost vertical speed, quickly filling the market gap left by the collapse of small and medium-sized brands, and began to aggressively erode the already shaky foundation of Lianxiang Group.
