Chapter 810 Secret War

Chapter 810 Secret War

"President, you are wrong. We should work together to develop the association." Chen Xi grinned.

Lin Xi cleared her throat awkwardly: "Yes, yes, we should develop the association well. But development also requires money. Part of the money earned here should be used by the association."

"Don't be too happy yet. There are many competitors in this business. Yinlian Business, Tonglian Payment, Suiyifu, Alipay, and WeChat Payment are all our competitors. However, if we operate well, they will also become our partners!"

"What do you mean?"

Lin Xi didn't quite understand.

“What it means is that instead of fighting with those big companies, we should directly develop smart POS machines to be compatible with them, and we can all make money together. If we can quickly seize the market and deploy POS machines across the country, we will be invincible.” Chen Xi took a sip of coffee.

"How can we negotiate that? After all, some banks don't want their customers to use third-party payment methods, except for those that cooperate with us."

"We can try to promote it together with some banks, such as issuing co-branded cards and sharing merchant resources. Because currently Alipay and WeChat payment have gradually seized the market share of banks. If they want to win back users, they need to cooperate with us."

"Then the bank can also cooperate with other payment companies."

"You're right, so I have to pay a small price!"

"What price?"

"There are many companies like mine in the market, and you have been in this business for a while. The funds after users swipe their cards will flow to the payment company, and then the payment company will transfer the money to the merchant, and there will be a time lag in between. Most companies will use this money to do some high-return lending projects. If the money cannot be collected by then, or the boss has already planned to run away, it is the merchant or individual who will pay for it. As more and more bankruptcies occur, the supervision will also be strengthened. Why don't we just make a pledge and hand over part of the money to the central bank for centralized custody..."

Just as the two were discussing, far away in Huajing, in the New Returnees Association of Dahua Country.

"President, the sharing projects we invested in have been losing money. Although some projects have recovered some funds from deposits in the early stages, the subsequent investment is far greater than the returns. Several institutions have expressed their willingness to pay to acquire this project, and they plan to list it for financing..." In the association, a young man reported on the recent situation.

"We are here to seek welfare for the people. How can we turn it into a tool to make money? Let's talk about our cultural projects first." Yang Xiao waved his hand, trying to change the subject.

"Cultural performances are still good. We get tens of millions of yuan in revenue from each scenic spot. However, more and more people are engaged in this project. Some well-known directors use their fame to stage large-scale stage plays. Our ticket revenue has dropped sharply. Fortunately, our main focus is on the dissemination of patriotic history and culture. With the support of the local government, the subsidies are still considerable..."

"Well, we have to do other money-making projects. The association is burning money every day. Without money, it can't operate. I was too idealistic before." Yang Xiao nodded and began to take the initiative to admit his mistakes. Then he said: "Our advantage is that we have strong official support. This strong support is different from the Young Returnees Association. Everyone knows about the previous spy incidents. There has never been such a person in our association. Why is that? That's because our members have correct political ideas and will not engage in selfish and traitorous behavior. So the attitude of the higher-ups towards us is naturally different, just like the difference between a biological son and a godson. Everyone knows that every place has investment promotion, and the recruitment of overseas Chinese businessmen was originally the responsibility of a specific department, but now there are many young and successful overseas businessmen, and we have more advantages when connecting with them..."

"I heard that the Young Returnees Association has now set up a third-party payment company, which can earn hundreds of millions of yuan every month. If we continue to develop at this pace, I don't know when we can catch up with them." A girl in the conference room said.

"We are not a company. We seek stable development and long-term survival. Don't envy them for being able to make so much money. Risks and rewards coexist. Earning hundreds of millions every month? I'm afraid there is something wrong..." Yang Xiao snorted coldly.

"That's true. There must be something fishy going on in such a high-return project."

"Yes, yes, we are all law-abiding citizens, and reporting crimes is what good citizens should do. I want someone to investigate the specific operations of their company."

"What the president said is right. We are an association of overseas returnees. We cannot rely on doing shady businesses to grow and develop. We must have positive energy, positive energy!"

After Yang Xiao finished speaking, everyone agreed with him, which made him feel very satisfied.

After the meeting was over, Yang Xiao, who was about to enter the office, was stopped by his secretary.

"President, there's a phone call for you. You weren't here just now, and I asked her to leave her phone number but she refused and said she'd call back later."

"Oh."

When Yang Xiao arrived at the office and had just sat down for a while, the phone on the desk rang.

"Hello, I'm Yang Xiao."

"Hello, President Yang. I would like to cooperate with you."

"who are you?"

Listening to this strange female voice, Yang Xiao couldn't help but frowned.

"I am your future partner."

"Why would you want me to cooperate with someone who doesn't even dare to reveal the real information?"

"You just want to run the Overseas Returnees Association well. I can help you."

"So what can you think of, money?"

"No, I have my own purpose."

"Cooperation is based on mutual trust. You don't want to say this and you don't want to say that. I don't think there's any need to talk." Yang Xiao said and prepared to hang up the phone.

"Wait... well, I want to deal with someone."

"Who is it? I'm not a thug."

"Vice President of the Young Returnees Association - Chen Xi!"

The woman's next words made Yang Xiao slightly stunned.

The next day, Yang Dingtian, who had just returned to Qilin City, received another piece of bad news.

That was because something happened to his own loan company. The cause was that people from the financial company came to collect the debt, and the other party was forced to jump off the building.

Although the incident was reported in the news, it was suppressed. This was Yang Dingtian's home base, and this kind of thing happened everywhere, so many people didn't take it seriously.

"Cousin, what are you afraid of? He jumped off the building on his own. We didn't push him."

"That's right. It's only natural to pay back debts. If everyone wants to commit suicide, then the money we lend out will be wasted. If everyone does this in the future, won't we go bankrupt?"

Several relatives of Yang Dingtian were sitting on the sofa smoking. In their eyes, the death of a person was like the death of an ant.

There are also people complaining about not getting their money back, etc.

"Do you guys realize how serious this matter is? The Internet is so developed nowadays. If someone takes advantage of this issue to hype it up, the consequences will be disastrous..." Adding up all the things that have happened recently, Yang Dingtian was scratching his head in worry.

"What are you afraid of? We in the Yang family hold important positions in various departments, and the incident happened in Qilin, so there's no need to worry so much." A man who looked to be in his thirties waved his hand casually.

"I'm telling you, next time you ask for a debt, you should be more gentle and use smart methods. In this case, give some money to the deceased's family..."

"What? I didn't get the money back, but I'm still giving them money? I won't settle this account. If it gets out, I won't be able to face anyone."

After hearing Yang Dingtian's instructions, the man who had just spoken was so shocked that his cigarette fell to the ground.

"Just go when I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense!" Yang Dingtian was really angry this time. He picked up the ashtray and slammed it on the table a few times.

Seeing him getting angry, everyone had no choice but to shut up.

"I'm planning to elect a representative recently, so please don't cause trouble for me." After his anger subsided, Yang Dingtian got down to business.

"It's good to elect representatives. I see that the richest people in several neighboring cities have elected representatives."

"Yes, it's not enough to just have money, you also need fame."

Everyone applauded when they heard this.

"Yes, that's what I think. If you are elected as a representative, you will have the opportunity to attend the conference and express some opinions that are beneficial to you during the meeting. You can also use this title to do some convenient things at ordinary times, but this requires all conditions to be met. I am not from Xinlu, so it is not realistic to elect a representative in Xinlu. Shi Danai, the representative, was elected in his hometown. I can also follow his example and create a representative in Qilin, so I need everyone to support me with all their strength." Yang Dingtian looked at everyone with a smile.

“This is definitely a full support!”

"Yes, from now on, the entire Qilin will be ruled by our Yang family."

"That's right. I heard that Xinlu will continue to expand in the future. It's not impossible for Qilin to be merged into Xinlu. By then..."

After hearing this, everyone began to imagine a bright future.

Qilin is neither far nor close from Xinlu. It takes less than half an hour to get there by high-speed rail. There is hope that it will be merged into Xinlu in the future.

When third-tier cities like this are merged into big cities, their economic development will become rapid. People from the Yang family are all in important positions, so if they want to develop the city, they will make a lot of money, right?

However, there are pros and cons. If Qilin City is annexed, the Yang family's voice will be weakened. The leaders of Xinlu will not allow such a restless force to exist below.

"Brother Tian, ​​our food factory business hasn't been very good recently. Chen Shubao's Cha Cha Food, together with companies such as the Zhan Zhan Group, have begun to frantically grab our market. Originally, Cha Cha only made nuts, but now it has teamed up with Zhan Zhan to develop products such as egg yolk pies..." A relative of Yang Dingtian who works in a food factory reported.

"Well, I've figured it out. The source of their confidence is Chen Yifeng and Xu Fu. With these two people providing them with money and goods, they dare to go to war with us. I don't know where they got a lot of foreign suppliers from. The quality of the raw materials is even better than that of three pine trees, and I heard that the purchase price is very cheap..." Yang Dingtian's good mood, which had just recovered, was wiped out.

He thought about it and came up with a solution: "If we want to bring down these two people, we must first deal with the people behind them. I will go to Huajing when the time comes..."

When he thought of his new backer, Yang Dingtian felt more confident.

"I heard that Xiaodan is doing well now and his business is booming. Will he be in charge of the food factory in the future? Qingqing is a girl after all, and she will definitely get married in the future..." A member of the Yang family rolled his eyes.

"Let's talk about this later. Xiaodan has been doing well recently, but he still needs more training." Yang Dingtian didn't say much, but casually praised his son.

At this time, Yang Dan, who was being praised, was discussing business in the Australian area.

"Everyone, please look, this is the new money-making model I came up with - online sports lottery!" Yang Dan pointed to the screen projected on the wall and said, "As everyone knows, sports lottery in the mainland has always been monopolized by a certain organization. Since it is a monopoly business, the odds are naturally set by them. Compared with theirs, the odds of all the big and small handicaps in the world are on average higher by about 3. Where did this go? The explanation given by the sports lottery organization is that the money was used for welfare. In other words, regardless of whether the lottery players win the lottery or not, they must pay out money to do charity. As for whether the money is used for charity, I don't know. In addition, the sports lottery in the mainland often does not open single-game betting, but allows you to buy multiple bets, which greatly reduces the probability of winning. It is completely a money-grabbing model. And the explanation they gave was that they launched this way of playing in order to prevent more people from indulging in gambling. It's ridiculous. So many people buy overseas handicaps online..."

Hearing Yang Dan's talk, a big shot in the Australian region couldn't help but say, "There are many online lottery tickets like this. How can you let others buy them from you? You know, it's very troublesome to open a market to sell sports lottery tickets. You can't just find a few people to calculate the odds. You have to communicate with other market operators to ensure that they approve it before you can open it..."

Yang Dan waved his hand, signaling the other party not to rush, and explained: "Of course I know this. I have thought of a way to attract players. Think about it, can we choose a lot of games after logging into our website? Then why can't sports lottery? We can connect to other sports lottery platforms like other games..."

At this time, someone asked again: "Wait, we connect to other platforms and help others advertise and make money? Isn't this just shooting ourselves in the foot?"

Yang Dan was a little annoyed after being interrupted several times, but he still said patiently: "There are several reasons for connecting to the platform. First, it allows players to compare the odds themselves and choose the one that suits them. Second, after connecting to the other platform, players will use the money on our platform to buy lottery tickets on other platforms. Assuming a recharge of 10,000 yuan, the player buys lottery tickets worth 7,000 yuan on other platforms, and the remaining 3,000 yuan will remain on our platform, which is equivalent to giving us funds to work around. Don't underestimate this little money. When there are many players, it adds up to a lot of money."

After this explanation, everyone suddenly understood.

Seeing that they understood, Yang Dan's confidence immediately rose, and his voice became much louder: "In addition to the competition in odds, we have also developed a different way of playing, that is, virtual football matches. This is a new game that we developed and operated independently..."

In the conference room, a man with a slicked-back hair sitting next to Yang Dan raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

This guy doesn't seem to be stupid and he has some talent in gambling.

Now that the business has grown bigger, in a few years the whole of Australia will be mine.

I will be the new gambling king here!
The man clenched his fist under the table. (End of this chapter)
