Chapter 402: 397, Establish a footing, establish oneself, establish intentions, Qinghe Faction! (Second update)_1

When Ren He got to this point, everyone thought they were looking at the full panorama of Qinghe Empire’s future. Already in existence were games, a search engine, messaging software, and an online shopping mall—all massive undertakings, more than enough to keep the bigwigs of the Qinghe Faction busy striving for success.

It’s easier said than done. Although the Qinghe bosses were already convinced that these were the Internet products this era required, whether they could excel still depended on their future efforts.

Qinghe Games would provide them with a steady stream of funding. With monthly earnings exceeding 100 million, and potentially reaching 1 billion RMB in revenue once Dota, Assassin’s Creed, and Kunlun hit their stride, the cash flow seemed abundant. But was it enough to support so many industries?

Ren He had pondered this and the answer was a resounding yes!

Actually, looking back at the experiences of the big players in his past life, the need for capital wasn’t all that high. After all, they were pioneers; there was no need to compete for market share, no need to spend huge sums acquiring customers like ride-hailing services—something Ren He had no plans to engage with. Getting involved in that would touch too many vested interests, too prone to opposition—he had no time to get entangled in such affairs.

The industries about to emerge in this parallel world were not yet established, and theoretically, all markets belonged to Qinghe. By the time others started to compete, each project within the Qinghe Faction would already have its own regenerative capacity. By then, the colossal Internet Empire would have taken shape, and it would be difficult for anyone to challenge that.

Moreover, for Qinghe’s faction, a ride-hailing app was not an indispensable part of the strategy.

Of the projects he mentioned, the most costly was probably the messaging software, as its market was already highly competitive and required significant investment—even a company with a high user base and strong user engagement like Qinghe Games had to spend money.

After all, it was no longer the optimal time to enter the communication industry.

At this point, the bosses were ready to take a breath. The details of the operational strategies would have to be discussed privately with Ren He.

However, there was one problem everyone faced: aside from Cheng Shanshui, there were 20 other bosses at Qinghe. Three of them felt they lacked the ability to expand new territories and were determined to stay in Qinghe Games to help the Qinghe boss consolidate his power. But what about the other 17 bosses?

With more wolves than meat, more monks than porridge, who would seize these three projects?! This wouldn’t lead to internal conflicts among the Qinghe bosses, would it?

What they never expected was that Ren He wasn’t done speaking!

He paused and then continued, "Now let’s talk about the fourth one!"

The audience was astonished. There was a fourth project? How did the Qinghe boss think of all this? Some employees felt they could never come up with these ideas in their lifetime. The new staff listened with utmost excitement. They had always heard that Qinghe’s boss possessed a unique leadership charm, but they had never really seen it until today.

What is the greatest display of leadership charm? It’s the ability to ignite hope in others and lead everyone to expand territories in this complex world.

Cheng Shanshui once thought that what he was doing now might be the most awesome endeavor for the future, but now he suddenly felt that there were so many more things one could do on the Internet. The core concept that Ren He was now transmitting was not on the same level as everybody else’s.

What they thought was just that the field had great potential and could definitely make money in the future!

But the perspective from which Ren He now stood was not just one dimension higher than theirs—he was thinking about how to change people’s lifestyles, making life more convenient!

Indeed, if your Qinghe Empire could make everyone’s life more convenient, why wouldn’t it succeed?

It’s like... with elevators available, how many people would choose to walk the stairs instead?

Same principle.

Cheng Shanshui gazed at the young man on stage, somewhat spellbound. He had a premonition that in this best and worst of times, the other party would surely leave the most vivid mark.

And everything they were experiencing was a part of the future history of the internet, perhaps most of the cases in future internet textbooks might come from the Qinghe Faction.

History... the thrill of living through history is indescribable. When they faced the world, they were no more than ants, but these tiny ants were striving to change the world.

Ren He continued with a smile, "The fourth point I want to talk about is called Qinghe Pay."

"Imagine, one day you all won’t need to carry cash when you go out, you can use your mobile phone to pay in any store, buy toothpaste, mobile payment, buy a cake, mobile payment!"

"Do you still have to go to the service center to pay your phone bill now, or buy a top-up card? Mobile payment, arrives in 1 second, and if it takes more than 10 seconds, you would wonder if you’ve topped up the wrong phone number!"

"Do you still need to carry your water and electricity bill to the bank to pay it? Sit at home and pay with your mobile phone!"

"Natural gas, mobile payment!"

"Cable TV, mobile payment!"

"Within this Qinghe Pay system, you can directly manage finances, as we at Qinghe have our own financial system."

"In the Qinghe Pay system, you can directly transfer money to friends, no need to go to the bank to send money anymore, it’s too troublesome!"

In my previous life, the most profound experience foreign people had about the advancement of mainland China’s internet was this world’s most advanced payment system.

Many foreigners found it hard to imagine the level of convenience in China’s internet domain, which was such that literally everything could be completed through a mobile phone and the internet!

Why did Ren He choose to start from making life convenient? Because it’s the easiest way to touch people’s hearts!

There was a guest on a Taiwanese variety show who exclaimed, "The mainland is now really too convenient. You can hardly imagine the shock of being able to make all payments through mobile phones and the internet. We think it’s already very quick if our phone credit is topped up within ten minutes, but not in the mainland. In the mainland, if your phone credit isn’t topped up within 10 seconds, you start to think you might have recharged the wrong number."

The evolution of humanity itself is a journey towards increasing laziness...

With agricultural machinery in farming, fully automated machinery in industry, cars for those too lazy to walk, and then planes and high-speed trains for those who find cars too slow.

It’s becoming more and more convenient. As long as Qinghe always works towards making things more convenient for users, its core philosophy, its ultimate corporate culture, will be an invincible existence.

It is also the biggest reliance for the expansion of the Qinghe Faction, because Ren He knows clearly how to make life more convenient!

About the concept of Qinghe Pay, Ren He talked for another full hour. It was already past 11 pm, but everyone felt no fatigue, even a bit excited.

Just when everyone thought that the boss’s brainstorming was finally coming to an end, Ren He said calmly, "Now let’s move on to the fifth item!"

The big shots of Qinghe were stunned. Just where were the limits of their boss?!

I’m going to grab a bite to eat
