154: Chapter 155: Spending Four Billion US Dollars to Forcibly Poach Global Chip Experts!

In just one short month.

Time advanced to early April 2013.

Young Master Su Chi demonstrated to the domestic business world the most ruthless and decisive execution belonging to multinational capital.

This cruel "scraping the bone to remove poison" stirred up a bloody storm within the three major platforms.

Young Master Su Chi did not hold back at all.

Through thunderous, maximum-level fines, he forcibly uprooted those cancerous merchants selling counterfeit and shoddy products.

This wave of physical cleansing.

Not only forcibly recouped hundreds of millions in book losses for the foreign capital camp, but also completely blocked the ulceration that was continuing to worsen the platform ecosystem.

Immediately after.

Under the crazy stimulation of double pure cash subsidies, the situation seemed to have truly ushered in an earth-shattering reversal.

From being suppressed all the way from the end of last year to early April this year.

The combined market share of Alibaba Group, Douyin, and Pinduoduo.

Finally broke through the life-and-death line, forcibly pulling up to a staggering high of over 25%.

But this seemingly glorious battle report.

Did not allow Young Master Su Chi, sitting in the courtyard in the capital, to feel even the slightest joy of victory.

When he turned his head and cast his gaze back to the market data of the entire sinking market.

A creepy, eerie feeling crawled frantically up his spine.

Young Master Su Chi stared fixedly at the financial report that had just been sent back in his hand:

Under their side's violent bombardment of cost-ignoring, double subsidies.

The joint camp of Jiyuan Technology, Meituan, and JD.com.

Actually still occupied over 40% of the core market share as steadily as Mount Tai, like an insurmountable Great Wall of Steel!

In the common logic of finance, this is an absolutely impossible thing to happen.

The financial report clearly showed.

Jiyuan Technology had not earned even a single cent of net profit to date.

The books were always dead and lifeless with zero profit.

They even had to dig into their bottom reserves to subsidize the massive offline labor and ground promotion wages.

However.

It was in such an unhealthy, and even extreme financial state that could be called a continuous arterial hemorrhage.

Facing the violent bombardment of over a billion USD from foreign capital, Shen Du's market share did not even show 0.1% of wear and tear!

Just as Young Master Su Chi was trapped in a painful logical dead end, almost crushing the financial report in his hand.

In the lower right corner of the study computer screen.

A macro market research brief from a Wall Street think tank suddenly popped up, urgently sent back.

This set of macro infrastructure data, which was not a commercial secret but completely public.

Was like a sharp scalpel.

It coldly cut open the skin of this false prosperity in market share and completely answered the suffocating doubt in Young Master Su Chi's heart.

The brief was marked with a conclusion in eye-catching red letters:

"With the comprehensive rollout of the national 4G communication infrastructure project in second and third-tier cities.

The penetration rate of smartphones in the sinking market has ushered in a historical turning point.

As of early April, new users of mobile smart terminals nationwide have surged by 15%!"

Looking at this set of cold macro data.

Young Master Su Chi felt as if he had been smashed on the back of the head with a heavy iron rod, and a violent dizziness arose deep in his brain.

In this instant.

His pride, which was already crumbling, was completely shattered by this set of data.

He realized with extreme sorrow.

In this whole month of bloody counterattack, the over a billion USD he had dumped.

Had not snatched even one real "existing" old user from Shen Du's solid base!

The 25% market share that his side had struggled and fought to pull up.

Was all pure "incremental newbies" who had rushed in after the national 4G infrastructure forcibly widened the track, and who had never been exposed to mobile online shopping!

And the 40% core user group in Shen Du's hands was like a steel fortress with its city gates welded shut.

No matter how much violent bombardment there was outside, the interior remained as steady as a rock.

What made Young Master Su Chi feel an unfathomable despair even more.

Was the sequelae of that "inferior poison pill" that had left what could be called permanent physical trauma in the sinking market.

Over this period of more than half a year, because of Young Master Su Chi's early arrogance and zero-threshold user acquisition.

The three major platforms had already been firmly and irreversibly branded with the shameful label of "selling only garbage" by those millions of underlying existing users.

In this domestic sinking ecosystem that values reputation.

Once a crack appears in trust, it is absolutely devastating.

Even if Young Master Su Chi had now scraped the bone to remove the poison and cut off all inferior merchants.

Even if the product quality on the platform had risen significantly now.

Even if he had frantically unleashed double pure cash subsidies...

It was useless.

Those old users who had once been disgusted by fake goods and inferior fast food.

Had already completely blacklisted the foreign capital platform in their psychological defense line.

They would rather spend a normal price at Jiyuan Technology and Meituan to buy peace of mind.

They would absolutely not turn back to look at the foreign capital platform even once for that bit of double wool.

Just as Young Master Su Chi was trapped in this deep sense of powerlessness, being completely played by macro dividends and unable to even touch the opponent's defensive bottom line.

The heavy solid wood door of the study was knocked on rhythmically twice.

The Old Butler pushed the door open and walked in with a grave expression.

He did not speak.

Instead, he placed a piece of top-secret commercial intelligence that had just been intercepted from a special channel with both hands.

He placed it properly on Young Master Su Chi's expensive rosewood desk.

This was just a thin two-page document.

But the content it carried was enough to trigger a magnitude-10 earthquake in the entire Wall Street venture capital circle.

In this stalemate where foreign capital was racking its brains to try to pry open the user defense line with double subsidies.

Shen Du did not play by the rules at all, to engage in any defensive counterattack.

He jumped directly out of the original e-commerce subsidy maintenance.

He launched a barbaric, unreasonable cross-border dimensionality reduction strike against the foreign capital camp.

The first line of bold black characters on the intelligence document was like a heavy war hammer, smashing hard onto Young Master Su Chi's retinas:

Jiyuan Technology officially announced: Joining hands with Meituan and JD.com.

And fully integrating the "Four Tong and One Da," as well as SF Express and other top-tier national logistics giants.

Reaching the deepest binding, fully pushing the "New City Ground Promotion Expansion Plan"!

This was not some ethereal strategic letter of intent, but a steel torrent paved by pure cash flow.

Young Master Su Chi's trembling gaze swept over the execution details below, his heart seeming to be tightly gripped by a cold, large hand.

This "New City Plan" directly designated the first batch of ten key regions in the country with the fastest infrastructure sinking.

And the ammunition allocation Shen Du gave was outrageously brutal.

In each region, there were no fake coupon deductions.

He directly smashed one billion RMB of pure ground promotion operating funds into the ground promotion and logistics links!

For ten regions, the first phase of the project, he directly slapped ten billion in pure cash on the table!

Not only that, Shen Du also used an arrogant posture at the end of the announcement.

Declaring to the domestic business world:

This was just the first phase of preheating in April.

By next month, Jiyuan Technology's offshore account would unreservedly add another ten billion to this plan!

Looking at the announcement of ten billion RMB in pure cash on the document, without any financial leverage and solid.

Young Master Su Chi was completely stunned on the spot.

At this moment.

This Ivy League graduate, a Wall Street financial prodigy accustomed to using financial reports and models to deduce the overall business situation.

His brain's computing power completely declared a crash.

This completely violated the most basic law of financial conservation!

This was a capital supernatural event that could not be explained at all on a physical level!

Jiyuan Technology's financial report had clearly not had even a single cent of profit for over half a year.

The entire market's profit had all been poured back into the blood vessels of B-end merchants.

Where on earth did Shen Du conjure this money out of thin air?!

What made Young Master Su Chi feel even more scalp-numb, and even cold all over, was.

The additional information sent back by the intelligence network clearly showed.

This huge sum of ten billion was completely paid out of Jiyuan Technology's own pocket.

Within the entire domestic financial system, there was not a single transaction.

Matching bank mortgage or bridge loan record, no corporate bonds were issued, and not even 0.1% of the bottom equity was sold!

Even this "New City Plan," which involved tens of billions and could be called crazy.

Had actually received official explicit endorsement and green light clearance for the entire route within just a few days!

Young Master Su Chi gritted his teeth, his chest heaving violently.

He used all his strength to force himself to calm down from that extreme trembling in the face of an unknown giant.

But the moment he opened his mouth.

His hoarse and cracking voice completely exposed the sense of incompetent rage and breakdown deep in the heart of this multinational elite.

"Investigate!!!"

Young Master Su Chi slammed the intelligence document fiercely onto the rosewood desk.

Roaring like a madman at the Old Butler standing on the side:

"Send out all the actuarial teams and intelligence networks below!

Investigate!

Investigate thoroughly!

What other hidden money-sucking plates does Shen Du have in his hands that we don't know about?!"

"Where did he get the funds?!

This is completely unreasonable!

Which deity is it that dares to inject this kind of nuclear-level cash flow into him at this critical juncture?!"

Young Master Su Chi's eyes became terrifying due to extreme blood congestion, his voice like the desperate roar of a trapped beast:

"Go and do an equity penetration!

Dig out all the personnel changes of Jiyuan Technology, every single bit of capital gateway record, dig it all out for me!!!"

Just as the Wall Street actuarial team fell into collective panic because of the source of that ten billion cash flow.

And were frantically probing for information like headless flies.

Shen Du, who was in Shanghai, directly tore off the mask of forbearance and defense from the past six months.

He did not leave any space for the foreign capital to catch its breath or reorganize its logic.

The entire domestic business world in April completely ushered in the violent moment belonging to Shen Du.

He was like an ultimate war machine with full firepower and an "infinite" ammunition depot.

He began to frantically pour his bottomless pure capital into the entire sinking market and even the global industrial chain.

Immediately after.

Several heavyweight news stories capable of triggering a global business tsunami.

Like a volcanic eruption, bombed the headlines of all mainstream media without any warning.

Jiyuan Technology officially announced in a high-profile manner:

Led personally by Shen Du, they directly dumped a terrifying astronomical price of four billion USD into the deep water area of the global semiconductor industry!

This money did not calculate any short-term returns, and the goal was brutal.

Forcibly poaching thousands of top chip architecture and R&D talents globally.

And simultaneously recruiting heavily domestically, over three thousand relevant high-end manufacturing plant frontline employees.

And this was just the beginning.

Just as the earthquake in the semiconductor field had not yet subsided, Jiyuan Technology and Meituan issued a joint statement again.

Directly bypassing all conventional business operation routes, investing five hundred million USD in pure cash, forcibly pushing for standardized production in the national sinking market.

What was even more amazing.

This plan was directly linked to macro policies, specifically helping underlying poor families to re-employ!

The ten-billion-level heavy asset logistics network, the four billion USD hard-core chip R&D, the five hundred million USD national-level targeted poverty alleviation...

The news fermented crazily within just a few days.

The red-headed documents and press releases flying everywhere completely filled the calendar for the entire month of April.

This set of violent money-spraying by Shen Du, which was completely cross-border and had no "short-term profit logic" in the eyes of Wall Street investment banks.

Directly caused the brains of those actuaries on the other side of the ocean, who were holding calculators to calculate profit margins, to collectively short-circuit.
