Scenes from the afternoon of the 14th began to spread gradually after nightfall. In the Magic City, in the capital...
For many people who participated in the competition between Phoenix, Alibaba, and Galaxy, the moment Uber announced it was free, the word "Jinggao" was already like a heavy cloud hanging over their heads.
But at this moment, after hearing Jing Gao clearly ask Xie Shihuang to send a message to Ali's boss, Mr. Ma: "When the war starts, you have the final say. But when the war ends, I have the final say!"
, this is like a slap from Jing Gao, the dark clouds fall, and the huge murderous intention crashes down on people!
This is not an adjective, but a real fact, crisis!
How many people invested in Didi during the financing process? Not just the money, but also the resources mobilized. All of this will come to nothing in front of Jing Gao’s words! How much will Didi have left when he ends the war?
Valuation? No one is responsible for these losses?
A must.
This responsibility may be the loss of reputation, it may be resignation, it may be losses, it may be complaints or even disappointment from partners. Time will never be quiet again.
A murderous intention turns the world upside down!
As Jing Gao said to Cao Danqing in the car after leaving Tomson Golf: This has just begun. If you say one month is free, then it must be one month free!
As for Didi's fate, the fate of many people has already been determined, like a surging river heading east, with no turning back.

The World Internet Conference held in Wuzhen in November 2016 was already its third session. Jing Gao, Cao Danqing, Qiao Shuang, and Liu Zhen arrived in Wuzhen, which is full of Jiangnan water town style, in the afternoon. After signing in, they checked into the hotel arranged by the organizing committee.
middle.
The standards of the Internet Conference are very high. In 2015, the top leaders and the then Russian Prime Minister Medvedev were all present. The official invitation was sent, so of course Jing Gao had to give face to support it.
However, he was occupying the quota of Phoenix Fund. Phoenix Fund is classified into the field of "venture capital".
The representatives of Uber are Chairman Qiao Shuang and newly promoted President Liu Zhen. They were invited as representatives of the "online ride-hailing" companies.
Liu Zhen was promoted to the position of president of Uber (China). On the one hand, Jing Gao was paying for her merits. On the surface, she was running and handling the recent safety incident. On the other hand, it was to make up for Qiao Shuang's ability.
insufficient.
The luggage was put down in Wuzhen Golden Waterfront Hotel, and the assistants were going to stay in the city for the evening. There were more than 1,000 guests and 700 to 800 reporters here. Qiao Shuang followed Jing Gao for the longest time, which was very
Understanding his thoughts, he invited: "Mr. Jing, are you tired? Let me take you to see a place?"
"Okay."
The four people drove out. The assistants followed behind. They left the Wuzhen Scenic Area first, and then turned onto Wuzhen Avenue. The journey of more than ten kilometers was as easy as pressing the accelerator. Later, they arrived at a quiet courtyard house in the city of Tongxiang.
In the villa area, when you enter the villa area, you will be greeted by the Jiangnan water town style.
Small lakes, rockeries, strange rocks, pavilions, and trees are all scattered in an orderly manner in early winter.
Three cars followed the spacious road and slowly stopped at the door of a courtyard house with white walls and black tiles. Qiao Shuang opened the door with the key and took Jing Gao, Cao Danqing and Liu Zhen in. The assistants stayed outside and waited.
Walking in the courtyard, Qiao Shuang introduced: "I bought three villas here. Now all the hotels in Wuzhen are full. Reporters are all over the streets. It is difficult to find a quiet place to talk or drink tea. This one is
Mr. Jing’s, Mr. Cao’s and Mr. Liu’s villas are next to it.”
Liu Zhen looked at this ancient villa with three courtyards and four courtyards, with high eaves and round pillars. He sighed in his heart, no wonder Mr. Qiao won Mr. Jing's trust, this was done beautifully.
Jing Gao was also very satisfied. In fact, in terms of scenery alone, Wuzhen Scenic Area was better. He would definitely be able to afford a hotel when he came to attend conferences in the future. However, it was a public place, and it might not be convenient to do other things at night.
It's not as free as here.
"It's quite good. Xiao Qiao, you take them to have a look, and then come to my place for tea. We will go back to the hotel in the scenic area to rest in the evening. You can also buy a set for yourself."
Qiao Shuang said crisply: "Okay, Mr. Jing."

…
The main venue of the Internet Conference is the "Wuzhen Internet International Convention and Exhibition Center" in Wuzhen Scenic Area.
On the morning of the 16th, the senior leader delivered a video speech.
Afterwards, guests from various countries gave speeches, and the first day of the meeting passed by. Anyone who is a little familiar with Internet conferences knows that there is a reserved item next: NetEase Ding Sanshi's dinner.
Starting from 2014, he will invite China's Internet giants to have a dinner party at the "Jinyi Inn" in Building 51-52 of the Wuzhen B&B in the Wuzhen Scenic Area on the first night of the conference. It is said to gather half of the "Internet"
.
On the evening of November 16, 2016, the dinner was held as scheduled. Compared with the previous two gatherings, where there were 8 people in the first time and 11 people in the second time, 17 people gathered this time. However, the three major Internet companies
None of the leaders of the giant BAT were present.
Xiao Ma and Ding Sanshi are old friends. They knew each other in the 1990s when China's Internet was in its ascendant. Lei Jun was also the first generation of Internet users at that time. Xiao Ma was busy in the evening and was unable to attend.
Baidu's Li Yanhong also had something to do, and he sent Baidu President Zhang Yaqin. As for Jack Ma not coming, there is an interesting rumor among the public.
Alibaba stands at the top of the Internet, and is considered the first-class master in the world! Well, Alibaba's market value alternates with Tencent's. And Ma Yun always speaks in a high-profile manner. Either he looks down on the gatherings of these big guys, or he is
The guys exclude him and don't let him play with him.
But the most reliable guess is that although Ding Sanshi and Ma Yun both belong to Zhejiang merchants, they have been at odds with each other for more than ten years and did not invite him.
At that time, after the Internet bubble burst in the early 21st century, it slowly recovered. Ding Sanshi, who persisted in not delisting, received investment from Duan Yongping, the boss of BBK, and after surviving the Internet winter, he soared and became the richest man in China. At that time,
Ma Yun is still running around looking for investment.
As a Zhejiang businessman, Ding Sanshi is 7 years younger than Ma Yun, but he made his fortune earlier. Ding Sanshi came forward to help Ma Yun resolve some of the troubles in the early days of Taobao. The feud between the two began in 2005, when eBay banned the entire advertising business.
Taobao. Ma Yun called everywhere and asked for Ding Sanshi's stone. Ding Sanshi agreed at first, but regretted it when faced with twice the price on eBay.
From the perspective of 2016, Ding Sanshi's decision is simply unbelievable. Doing this kind of thing just for advertising money? Not even Jack Ma's friendship? However, you must pay attention to your status at the time. The boss will not care about the feelings of the younger brother.
of.
Ding Sanshi once publicly said in a media interview: Ma Yun is not that great. She is probably a little bit disdainful.
There was noisy outside the window, and the media was waiting. The bosses in the store were sitting drinking and chatting. The dishes made from pork carefully selected by NetEase were well received. The Zhejiang cuisine of this small shop is indeed authentic.
There was an official banquet in the evening, and all the big guys came out around 8:30, and then gathered here one after another.
Ding Sanshi was sitting on the main seat, drinking rice wine, listening to a group of people chatting on mobile phones, and sighed: "Can you stop talking on mobile phones?"
Today, Huawei’s Yu Chengdong and Xiaomi’s Lei Jun are all here. Plus Zhou Hongyi, chairman and CEO of Qihoo 360, and Zhao Ming, president of Honor Mobile.
(Note that Honor and Huawei belong to the same Huawei, but they are two mobile phone brands.)
Zhou Hong, a little drunk, sat in the chair and said with a smile: "What are you talking about if you don't talk on the mobile phone? There is a ruthless person in the mobile phone circle!"
After saying this, everyone who knew the inside story laughed in agreement. By the way, the biggest news in the Internet circle is that Uber is free! This puts Didi in an extremely embarrassing situation. The valuation keeps falling, one price a day.
The news that Coolpad Mobile Phone, a subsidiary of Phoenix Fund, has set up a chip design company in Shanghai has long been spread in the mobile phone circle.
Rebus disses Huawei in the media every day, talking about it as a "friendly businessman". But his personality is still very gentle. He just smiled and said nothing. The first one to open a gap in the mobile phone industry through price was Xiaomi
!
Price war is a "skill" that all mobile phone companies must know. Because the mobile phone industry has developed into a blue ocean and the competition is very cruel.
The last company to sell sales regardless of cost was called "LeTV". LeTV's mobile phones are now half-dead. The more they sell, the more they lose.
Yu Chengdong is nicknamed "Yu Dazui", but that refers to bragging about Huawei mobile phones. He did not comment on Jing Gao or Phoenix Fund at this time. Who is still a fool? It is obvious that Coolpad mobile phones belong to the "other" category.
As one of the top three mobile phone manufacturers in the world, why does he evaluate Coolpad? To increase the popularity of Coolpad?
That is to say, a small mobile phone manufacturer like 360, which sells 10 million units a year, has a sense of crisis.
In addition, the person who dared to call Ali that way would probably have a very hot temper if he brought a message to Ma Yun? He was young and full of energy! He didn’t have a convulsion in his brain.
Those who don’t know the specific details, such as Jerry Yang, the founder of Yahoo, and Zhu Min, the former vice president of the International Monetary Fund, are asking people around them for details.
Ding Sanshi smiled slightly, "Taking Ma Yun" was a show he loved to watch, and asked Shen Nanpeng, the global managing partner of Sequoia Capital: "Mr. Shen, I heard that you and Jing Gao have met a few times. Can you tell us about it?"
Shen Nanpeng gave a bitter smile and waved his hand: "Don't. Don't. I met Mr. Jing in the venue today. I didn't even dare to say hello to him. He is too imposing now."
This is a bit exaggerated. Their group of venture capital investors basically listened to Cai Congxin, followed Alibaba, and bet on Didi. The current situation is like this. Their inner hope now is: Mr. Ma will get angry and confront Jing Gao Wire.
Everyone is waiting for Ali's reaction.
Zhang Chaoyang, chairman and CEO of Sohu, interjected and said with a smile: "Mr. Cao, you have to be careful." He knew that Weibo did not cooperate with Phoenix Fund in controlling comments, but stood firmly on Alibaba's side. .
Sina Chairman and CEO Cao Guowei took a sip of wine slowly and said: "I still believe that Alibaba can turn the situation around. Alibaba will not be able to make out even one month's operating money. After all, it is impossible for Phoenix Fund to do business in a desperate manner. of."
Lenovo Group President and CEO Yang Yuanqing said: "The problem with Phoenix Fund is that the person in charge is too young. Alibaba has experienced big and small battles with eBay, Amazon, etc." He said, shaking his head slightly.
The meaning is expressed very clearly.
Is it necessary to think whether Lenovo will stand on Didi or Uber? Mr. Liu’s daughter is the president of Didi, and her career is in jeopardy.

While a group of "big guys" were chatting here, Ma Yun had just come down from an international wine shop and said to her assistant with a slight hint of drunkenness: "Call Mr. Li and let's go visit Xiajing Gao together."
