Xingen Investment’s office in Beijing.
Zeng Qiang, who is fifty-four years old this year, smiled and shook hands with Jing Gao, invited him to sit down, and praised: "A hero comes from a young age! It is really rare for Mr. Jing to stand out in the business world at his age."
Jing Gao stood up, took the tea, and said, "Thank you."
Both parties have done their homework for each other. They exchanged a few words and went straight to the topic. Jing Gao slightly said curiously: "LeTV is a star company, how can it be short of funds? Will the investors invest in Mr. Jia?"
The information in Jing Gao's hands was collected by Guan Yujia. According to public media reports, on February 28, 2016, Jia Yueting sang a song "Wild Son" at the annual meeting, which made everyone in LeTV shed tears and vowed to follow him to the death.
dream.
His personality charm and spiritual light are admirable.
This is rare in 2016. Looking at the business history after reform, there will be some well-known business tycoons whose core teams will follow them to death.
For example: Shi Yuzhu back then. The giant was heavily in debt, but his core team was still there. They even climbed Mount Everest together and almost died. For example: Alibaba, Boss Ma’s entrepreneurial history was said to be bad, but his core team never left him.
.
Therefore, Mr. Jia is quite capable.
Zeng Qiang thought about it and said: "Lao Jia wants to make cars, but is short of funds." Xingen Capital is the second largest shareholder of LeTV, but some of LeTV's seven major ecosystems do not belong to LeTV.
.He also doesn’t understand some situations.
Jing Gao muttered, "Okay. I'll talk to Mr. Jia later."
Everyone knows about LeTV’s “ecological revolution”. Its seven major ecologies are: content ecology, large screen ecology, cloud ecology, mobile phone ecology, sports ecology, automobile ecology and financial ecology. Its purpose is to build a “platform +
The business model of “content + terminal + application”.
After chatting for a while, the two of them went out to LeTV's headquarters together. Along the way, Zeng Qiang mainly talked about anecdotes about the investment circle and the most promising "unicorn" in China's investment circle.
"In the past, there were thousands of group wars, but in the end only one Meituan survived. Now the concept of shared travel is very popular. Didi Chuxing has almost achieved a monopoly in the industry. Currently, the top players in market share are: Didi, Uber, and Yidao
(LeTV), China.”
"It is a pity that Xingen Investment did not invest in Didi. Now the concept of shared bicycles is very optimistic among investment circles. Ofo, the leading company, is developing very fast, and this field is expected to be another battle of thousands of teams."
"There is another field that is very hot right now. That is the field of food delivery. Baidu Food, Ele.me, and Meituan are fighting for the entrance to local life service consumption. This field is also burning money."
Jing Gao is currently familiar with the "investment" field in Beijing's business circles. His investment in Rongcheng, his investment in Jinghe Club, and his "Phoenix Fund" have all invested in many start-up companies, and they are very strong.
As a real estate developer and fashion group, he is not yet familiar with it. These two businesses have not developed yet. In the banking business, there is no sign of it. The Swiss Bank is still helping him with the acquisition, but it has not been completed yet.

LeTV Building is not far from Yansha Building where Xingen Investment is located. It is just around the corner from Sanlitun, right next to Chaoyang Park.
LeTV paid great attention to Jing Gao's visit, but did not create a particularly big fight. Jia Yueting and several senior executives greeted him on the floor of the conference room.
Mr. Jia is 44 years old this year. He is still wearing the familiar black T-shirt and jeans in public, and he has a bit of a "Jabs" style. Mikai Gao came out of the elevator accompanied by Zeng Qiang, followed by their assistants.
He immediately strode forward with a powerful pace, shook hands with Jing Gao, and said cheerfully: "Mr. Jing, welcome to LeTV as a guest. Please!"
Jing Gao looked at this strong businessman for a few seconds and said with a decent smile: "Hello, Mr. Jia."
Mr. Jia made his fortune in Shanxi Province. Many information on how he made his fortune is vague. It is not like the resumes of Internet tycoons which are clear at all.
Mr. Jia graduated from the Finance and Taxation College, a junior college, majoring in accounting. Later, people often jokingly called him "Accountant Jia". Because of LeTV's fake accounts, the bad debts were too exaggerated.
In a county in Shanxi Province, he first started a coal business and accumulated his first pot of gold. His ex-wife was quite powerful in the local area. Then, he provided batteries for China Unicom's equipment in Shanxi Province and borrowed the money from China's
It was an opportunity for the company to go public in Singapore. It was listed in 2007 and raised 200 million yuan.
LeTV was born out of the video department of this company.
People who paid attention to the video war back then may have an impression. In the 3.0 era of the Internet, around 2006, the Internet was dominated by videos, and a number of websites such as Youku, Tudou, iQiyi, Kuliu, etc. were born.
It is foreign youtube.
LeTV was very impressive and was listed on the A-share market in 2010. It was the first domestic video company. At that time, leading video websites such as Youku and Tudou were not listed. Everyone knows the story behind it.
LeTV began to purchase the copyrights of various videos on a large scale, raising the prices of film and television dramas. It also established LeTV Sports to buy the copyrights of the Premier League and NBA. The copyright fees for popular dramas such as "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "The Legend of Mi Yue"
Straight up.
The entire industry begins to compete.
Just in June, LeTV held a press conference in Shanghai, announcing that it would invest 15 billion to create 53 TV series.
If LeTV hadn’t committed suicide, Boss Jia would also be a great person!

In the bright office area on the 8th floor of LeTV Building, a group of people went to the bright conference room. Along the way, they met employees with LeTV badges from time to time. Each of them was very confident and full of vigor.
An assistant from LeTV wearing a black business suit came in to pour tea.
Jinggao sat down and looked at this conference room with floor-to-ceiling glass on three sides. It was not large in size and the decoration style was very modern. It had a tempered glass conference room table, simple wooden floors, and metal-style seats.
The LeTV Building is only 14 stories high. Of course, this building is not cheap, with a price of about 1.4 billion yuan. It is adjacent to Chaoyang Park and the surrounding scenery is very good.
"Thank you!" Jing Gao thanked the female staff member whose appearance was obviously arranged by him, and said with a smile: "Mr. Jia's place is very good."
Mr. Jia waved his hand and said: "If Mr. Jing likes it, you can come and sit here often. Let's drink tea together and talk about our dreams."
Jing Gao just smiles. This is Mr. Jia’s style. Talk about dreams and feelings. According to the information collected by Guan Yujia for him, Mr. Jia was invited to give a speech at last year’s “China Business Leaders Annual Meeting”. The title was
"Why should the eagle wait for the wind to come?"
After the lecture, in January this year, Mr. Liu from Lenovo took the initiative to contact LeTV and brought a group of senior executives to visit the LeTV Building.
Awesome or not?
Mr. Liu of Lenovo can be regarded as the first generation of martial arts leaders among Chinese entrepreneurs. He has a very high status. The legend of Taishan Club is miraculous. He is much more powerful than the two of the four major clubs in Beijing established by the "Li Huanggua" father and son.
Mr. Liu didn't even resist, and he took the initiative to inspect. Jing Gao didn't think he could withstand Mr. Jia's "fooling", so he better come less often. Let's first see what he can get from today's contact. It's just the provision of funds.
He will not support Mr. Jia’s dream.
"Mr. Jia, let's forget about the visit and let's talk directly. I'm actually quite curious as to why LeTV lacks investment?"
