Chapter 404: 399. The Initial Formation of the Qinghe Faction (Fourth Update)_1

Ren He spoke until 7 in the morning, and if everyone tallies it up, Ren He covered a total of 18 items.

These even included travel, live streaming, antivirus, cybersecurity, music platforms, input methods, video websites, photo beautification, and so on...

When it came to things like one-click photo beautification tools, the young girls within Qinghe internally lit up with excitement; the offerings Ren He described were truly tempting...

In fact, for the Qinghe Faction, these things were just icing on the cake; the real foundation of the whole internet lay in the previous items he mentioned.

But no one could deny that these embellishments lacked prospects; it was just that their profits weren’t as grand as the former ones. However, for the entire Qinghe Faction, what Ren He stood for was how to make life more convenient for everyone – and what Qinghe Kingdom wanted to do was to facilitate convenience for all.

Ren He’s initial intention to change the world hadn’t shifted, so when he spoke of these matters, the Qinghe bosses clearly realized that Ren He indeed had things he was committed to pursuing on the road to making life more convenient, and he wasn’t just talking the talk.

On just the point of ideology, the Qinghe Faction had already surpassed too many internet companies.

The bosses counted, and indeed, there were a total of 18 items...

There were 18 people who wanted to start their own ventures, and then Ren He presented 18 items. They looked at each other—was this a coincidence, or had the big boss done it on purpose?

They exchanged glances; what if there had been 21 people wanting to venture out—would Ren He have come up with three more ideas?!

It was almost unfathomable, for nobody knew where their boss’s limits truly lay!

However... it seemed as though the big boss was deliberately preventing any conflicts or clashes of interest from arising. If anyone were left out, it was inevitable that someone would feel neglected, which could lead to an imbalance in mental states.

Two peaches kill three warriors; if Qinghe internally caught fire in its backyard, that would seriously hold them back.

In his previous life, what Ren He loathed the most were office politics.

With limited positions and interests, it was always a big problem who got what. Everyone was ambitious and wanted a piece of the pie, but the question was, who would get it?

Infighting was really the least interesting thing, and his wish was for less of such strife within the Qinghe Faction. He didn’t care about earning a bit less money, not to mention they wouldn’t actually earn less.

He would rather have these bosses go out and work hard for him. Since they all wanted to venture out, then let them have at it.

So, take one project each and have fun with it!

If it’s profitable, we all benefit; if it’s not, I’ll take the loss. When you have money, you can be capricious!

Besides, in the current cooperative atmosphere of the Qinghe Faction, it was actually hard to make a loss.

Here, Ren He proposed an essential concept: for all Qinghe Faction services, user accounts were to be universally compatible. An account for Qinghe Pay could log into the messaging software, and the same applied to Qinghe Games accounts.

While it appeared to be a trivial detail, it was this small detail that interconnected the entire Qinghe Faction, making users subconsciously feel the convenience!

In the age of the internet and fast food, some users might never reopen a webpage in their lifetime if they find it troublesome on first entry.

The first hassle of using a project is usually registration—filling this and that out, then they send you a verification code, and you still don’t get it right... The frustration at that moment is just infuriating!

But it’s different with the Qinghe Faction—one account rules them all, doing away with the need to register multiple times.

When the time comes, everyone will subconsciously choose other Qinghe products, epitomizing a classic case of shared user base—good for you, good for me, good for us all. Ren He could hardly imagine just how many active users the Qinghe Faction would eventually have...

Finally, the meeting was adjourned, and Ren He kept the Qinghe bosses back for a moment, jokingly saying, "In the future, you all will be your own warlords; remember to stay united so that the Qinghe Faction can succeed."

The bosses looked solemn; they all understood Ren He’s implication, which was a warning against internal strife—something Ren He detested the most.

The bosses had never heard anything severe from Ren He; although this sentence too was said in jest, they were no fools and read between the lines.

This was the bottom line of the Qinghe Faction.

...

Finally, the meeting dispersed, and this annual meeting of Qinghe had lasted a full 12 hours. Although no one felt it during the meeting, by the time it concluded, everyone felt a bit stiff and sore...

Although there were no direct red packets this time, the annual bonus was still deposited into personal bank accounts by means of salary. The meeting itself was like a 12-hour training session, and a boss joked during breakfast, "You juniors must absorb what was discussed at this annual meeting. If the big boss were to teach this class outside, I’d say charging a high price for the training would be more than justified."

And that very morning, the media’s most anticipated event finally happened—the 18 Qinghe bosses simultaneously conveyed to the outside world: "I have resigned from Qinghe Games and am no longer responsible for marketing duties, please contact my successor for related affairs."

"I have resigned from Qinghe Games and am no longer responsible for technical work, please contact my successor for related affairs."

"I have resigned from Qinghe Games and am no longer responsible for planning work, please contact my successor for related affairs."

One by one, the 18 bosses were passing along this startling news, without any further elaboration.

The media was shocked, and so was the rest of the industry. Could it be that the collapse of the Qinghe Faction, which they had long anticipated, had actually happened today?

For 18 executives to resign in one day was beyond comprehension; although it had been speculated that Qinghe Games might lose some executives, and everyone was aware of the timing with the annual meeting.

But for 18 to leave at once was unprecedented. After all, there were only 21 executives at Qinghe Games!

Was Qinghe Games going under? What had happened to make 18 executives leave at once?!

This event quickly became the most shocking news of the day.

But as people were still trying to wrap their heads around the news, these executives quickly made a follow-up announcement: "I have entered a partnership with Qinghe to establish Qinghe Pay, with Qinghe Games as the major shareholder, hoping we can co-create a better tomorrow!"

"I have partnered with Qinghe... to establish Qinghe Mall!"

"I have partnered with Qinghe... to establish Qinghe Search!"

"I have partnered with Qinghe... to establish Qinghe Trip!"

Suddenly, 18 Qinghe Faction-controlled subsidiary companies were established, leaving everyone baffled. What was going on? It seemed like a collapse was imminent, but instead, it looked like a major move was afoot!

And these ventures... seemed like a grand strategy in the making!
