Ling Chuqing learned the news about Qiao Songbai's arrest in Qiongdao ten days later. On the early morning of Sunday, April 16, Jing Gao was having breakfast in the Jasmine Lounge of the Peace Hotel while browsing the news on his mobile phone.
.
Cheng Yu, a thick-lipped assistant with a big mouth, accompanied Jing Gao to have breakfast. A pair of tight-fitting aqua blue jeans outlined her beautiful figure: long legs and ample body. It attracted the attention of many people in the restaurant.
Shanghai is an international metropolis, and many foreign investors have their headquarters or offices here. The Peace Hotel is well-known, and the density of foreigners here is slightly higher. The body aesthetics are basically the same whether Chinese or foreign.
Cheng Yu's 94-point figure is quite visually impactful. Moreover, she is only twenty-five years old this year, which is the right age for her youth.
Jing Gao, who was sitting next to her while dining, was naturally the object of envy.
Jing Gao has always been relatively low-key. He rarely appears in the media. Even when he does appear, he wears suits and leather shoes, and wears mature and steady black-rimmed glasses, which is very different from his usual image. Passers-by will basically not recognize him.
The waiter came over and poured milk and gave Cheng Yu a newspaper.
Jing Gao rested here last night. Villa No. 11 of Tomson Golf was vacant. Guan Yujia was busy contacting Dr. Zhang Rujing and coordinating things in Jinling. Liu Sumei flew back to the capital in a free and easy manner. She
The team was given a few days off. Some time ago, Jiang Shangyi was invited to come to the mainland to work, which consumed a lot of her time and energy.
While eating breakfast, Cheng Yu took out his cell phone to check and reported in a low voice: "Mr. Jing, Han Wenguang is here."
"Yeah. Tell them to wait in the presidential suite first." Jing Gao drank milk, ate noodles and fried eggs.
…
…
Han Wenguang left his assistant outside the Peace Hotel, took his briefcase, and walked into the Peace Hotel alone.
With milky white Italian marble floors and antique bronze chandeliers, the hall you enter is luxurious and elegant.
As the president of the Phoenix Fund, he was previously a middle-level employee of a state-owned enterprise, so he could still afford to live in the Peace Hotel. Such scenes were not uncommon for him. But at this time, he was filled with uneasiness.
Being in Phoenix Fund together with Zuo Hao, his information is not blocked.
He reported to President Jing during the group's major reorganization two years ago and took the opportunity to become the head of the Phoenix Fund. Then during the adjustment of the division of labor, Zuo Hao's scope of authority was compressed. He became the veritable first person.
However, Zuo Hao recently sued him in front of Mr. Jing. The reason is simple: the Phoenix Fund he led missed the financing of the emerging e-commerce company "Pinduoduo".
Given the current hostility between Phoenix Group and Alibaba, any domestic e-commerce company that can challenge Taobao and Tmall should provide support and get involved with funds.
Pinduoduo was founded in 2015 and conducted Series B financing in July 2016. IDG, Gaorong Capital, New Horizon Capital, Tencent Industry Win-Win Fund, and Cathay Capital invested US$110 million.
Over the years, various e-commerce companies have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Internet empowerment is a hot word. But really, only JD.com can compete with Taobao and Tmall. And other categories, such as Suning.com
Shopping, NetEase Yanxuan, and the acquired Tencent WeChat Business cannot pose a threat to Alibaba’s e-commerce business.
Therefore, after he took charge of Phoenix Fund in February this year, he rejected the proposal of Zuo Hao and others to invest in Pinduoduo. At this point, entering Pinduoduo and paying hundreds of millions of dollars to get limited shares is very risky.
.
These are all recorded in meeting minutes. Mr. Jing will find out once he checks them.
The problem is that Pinduoduo has developed extremely rapidly recently. The number of APP downloads has long been at the top of major mobile app stores.
He obviously made a mistake at work.
Han Wenguang secretly cursed Zuo Hao as "not a son of man" and walked into the elevator to meet his unknown fate.
…
…
At 8:20 in the morning, Zuo Hao, the vice president of Phoenix Fund, appeared in the lobby of the Peace Hotel on time. He called Dong Youwei, who arranged the meeting, and later the hotel housekeeper came and took him to the 10th floor.
in the presidential suite.
As soon as I entered the door, I was shocked.
On the sofa in the living room of the suite, his rival Han Wenguang was sitting.
The moment their eyes met, the two were surprised at the same time. But after all, they were both adults, and they immediately returned to normal. Obviously, this was Mr. Jing's arrangement to beat them.
Dong Youwei looked at the two people's reactions and felt funny in his heart. He still had the taciturn "Assistant Dong" on his face. He stood up and said, "You two sit down for a moment. I'll report to Mr. Jing."
Jing Gao is currently handling official business with Cheng Yu and Nie Yunxi in the study room of the suite. The environment in the study room is elegant and bright. It is even more beautiful because of the two beauties. It is surrounded by a light fragrance.
Of course, Jing Gao has always been very self-controlled and serious at work, and would not engage in any drama like having sex with two assistants in the study room.
Dong Youwei opened the door to the study room. After waiting for a while, he saw Jing Gao looking over and said, "Mr. Jing, Han Wenguang, and Zuo Hao are all here."
"Then let's go!"
Jing Gao said hello and led the three of them out to the large living room.
Han Wenguang and Zuo Hao stood up quickly and said with a little restraint: "Mr. Jing..." Mr. Jing said exactly what he said about Phoenix Group. Although the two of them joined the company when the Phoenix Group was founded, they still maintained their respect for Jing Gao.
With fear.
Jing Gao made a gesture, sat on the sofa, and said straight to the point: "Tell me, what's going on with you two?"
Han Wenguang and Zuo Hao's hearts skipped a beat. The meaning of Mr. Jing's words was not at all about the specific investment in Pinduoduo, but directly about the "infighting" between the two of them.
Nie Yunxi stood by the window of the living room, leaning slightly on the table in front of the window, with a graceful manner, and drank tea slowly. Looking at Jing Gao, two CEOs who were influential in the venture capital industry were questioned by one sentence.
Cold sweat. Speaking of which, this really reflects Jing Gao’s power!
Han Wenguang thought for a while and said nothing. First of all, there was a problem with his performance, which made Mr. Jing doubt whether he could run a giant venture capital company. His excuse at this moment was meaningless. But Zuo Hao, who started the fight, was there.
Mr. Jing has a negative score.
Zuo Hao gritted his teeth in his heart and said: "Mr. Jing, Mr. Han and I have differences in work styles. He was too conservative when he was in charge of the Phoenix Fund. The venture capital industry is inherently high-risk and high-return, and it all depends on vision! Put the money in
In the pocket, it's useless.
Of course, I have my shortcomings. I am a venture capital investor. When I see a project that feels good to me, I want to invest. Cast a wide net and catch more fish.
I hope that I can go further and help Phoenix Fund maintain its current reputation in the industry."
This was said quite sincerely. Jing Gao then laughed and said, "Zuo Hao, you go and wait outside first, while Lao Han and I have a chat first."
Zuo Hao was stunned and walked out of the suite filled with anxiety.
