Hibiscus emerges from clear water, and flowers bloom from lotus roots. This is the origin of Zhao Qinghan’s “lotus culture”.
Jing Gao invited his subordinates to dinner at the Capital Club, mainly because he made an appointment to have a cup of tea with Li Yanhong here this afternoon to talk about iQiyi.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Jing Gao took a lunch break in the presidential suite of the China World Hotel in the China World Trade Center Phase 3 Building, leaving the two beauties Liu Feifei and Zhao Qinghan to rest.
I haven't seen them for a while. During lunch break, I just wanted to talk together, but I couldn't help myself. It's not clear whether Feifei is too beautiful, Qinghan is too charming, or he is too romantic.
"Mr. Jing, long time no see."
"ro n, long time no see!"
Jing Gao felt refreshed and took a car to the Capital Club on the 50th floor of the Capital Building. He smiled and shook hands with Li Yanhong in the luxurious private room. The accompanying bodyguards and Feng Wan, the assistant seconded from Guan Yujia, were parked outside.
After returning from France, Dong Youwei and others were given a leave by him.
Li Yanhong smiled and asked Jing Gao to sit down. His assistant brought in a pot of tea and several plates of snacks, and then quietly left.
Li Yanhong was wearing casual clothes with an elegant demeanor. She picked up the tea cup and joked: "Mr. Jing, I heard that people in Europe respectfully call you Mr. Jing. Our domestic business community has not changed its attitude yet, right?"
Jing Gao smiled and said, "Not many people call me that."
"Haha! You!" Li Yanhong laughed and pointed to the height of the well.
Jing Gao said with a smile: "It's mainly a matter of vocabulary habits. They like to use personal names like r and lord. In our country, we usually call them Mr. x. This is the habit since the reform."
Li Yanhong smiled slightly and said, "That's true."
After drinking tea and chatting for a while, Jing Gao said with a smile: "Rom, let me show you a video first." He connected his mobile phone to the large LCD TV in the private room using Bluetooth and called up a video.
,Start playing.
The video is a clip of An Xiaoqian, CEO of Coolpad Mobile Phone Group Co., Ltd., being interviewed by the media yesterday. An Xiaoqian, wearing an elegant professional suit with her hair in a bun, sat in front of reporters and talked eloquently, "
Some entrepreneurs in our country are too arrogant and attribute their business success to their own intelligence and hard work. However, I think it is better in our time. Only with the support of the state can we develop private enterprises. This
It was not Ma Yun’s era, but the times that created Ma Yun.”
What An Xiaoqian said later was not in the video. But such a short paragraph made Li Yanhong open his mouth slightly in surprise. He immediately understood, looked at Jing Gao and said: "Mr. Jing, are you going to start a full-scale war with Ali?"
Jing Gao sat on the sofa leisurely and said: "It's not that exaggerated! It's mainly just a little bit of Ma Yun. Some of his things are too arrogant. I used to ask my friends in the middle to inform him, hoping that he would withdraw his shares in Meager."
Baidu is a small strategic investor, holding 5% of the shares.
Li Yanhong understood what Jing Gao wanted to express. He pondered slightly. It seemed that the conditions he had imagined before needed to be modified.
Before coming, he originally planned to sell part of iQiyi's equity to Jing Gao, adding the 10% of the shares he had previously sold to Jing Gao, to bring his shareholding to 40%. In this case, his losses would be acceptable.
The three major video websites are losing money every year. iQiyi was listed on the US stock market in March this year, and its market value is currently around US$7 billion.
Video websites cannot be said to be the standard feature of Internet giants, just like Baidu's payment, which is also not famous. Foreign Google, Twitter, and Amazon have not entered the field of video websites. The foreign giant is Netflix.
He now has to seriously think about this business.
Now, Jing Gao has shown his determination to fight Ma Yun to the end: This is not Ma Yun's era, but the era that created Ma Yun! This is a very serious statement. It is equivalent to all kinds of things that have enveloped the founder of Alibaba.
The halo of the god-creator was stripped away.
Doesn’t he know that others don’t know? An Xiaoqian from Coolpad Mobile is Jing Gao’s confidant and is very respected. When Jing Gao went to visit Huawei, she was the only executive with him.
An Xiaoqian was a general manager of the Galaxy Group two years ago. It is said that Jing Gao beat her into submission and forced her to split up the Haiyi Group. Her personal wealth shrank greatly. Later, he spent another 1 billion US dollars to provide for her son in the
Hong Kong Island set up a trust fund to ensure a way out, so she was hired.
After An Xiaoqian took charge of Coolpad mobile phones, Coolpad mobile phones have become a little more famous recently, and the spokespersons are all top-notch people. Global sales have picked up. However, the performance in the two major markets of China and India is not so impressive.
That's all. But its sales are very good in the market in Southeast Asia.
There is actually no difference between what An Xiaoqian said and what Jing Gao said!
"Let's do this, Mr. Jing, Baidu retains 30% of iQiyi's equity, and I will sell you the remaining shares at today's closing price per share. Make sure you control iQiyi.
However, I need you to promise to double the market value of iQiyi within two years. At that time, Baidu will give you priority in selling equity to you, and ultimately retain 10% of the shares and a board seat. If the stock price does not rise, you must
Acquired at a price that doubles today’s share price.”
Jing Gao doesn't care about money. What he needs is a mature video website platform to kill Youku. He stretched out his hand and said: "Hey, happy cooperation!"
On the night when Jing Gao and Li Yanhong met, public opinion began to ferment online. The short video website Kuaishou and the up owners on station B both forwarded An Xiaoqian's conclusion: This is not Ma Yun's era, but the era.
Ma Yun was created.
As for whether the Tencent system will exert force in the future, it is unclear. Anyway, Kuaishou, who likes to call Lao Tie, recognizes that it is the Tencent system.
Immediately, some up owners on Douyin followed suit.
Three days later, this sentence reached the top ten of the Weibo Hot Searches. Then the central media Renren Daily commented, but the wording was more concise and straightforward: There is no so-called Jack Ma era, only Jack Ma in the era.
Magic City.
Ma Yun came to Shanghai to participate in an internal discussion meeting of Zhejiang businessmen. After the term "big changes unseen in a century" was proposed on June 30, many people are now studying and studying it.
After the meeting, Guo Guangchang invited Ma Yun to have a drink in the VIP box of the bar of Renaissance Yu Garden Hotel.
"Lao Ma, what's going on now?" Guo Guangchang asked with a smile. He just flew back from the UK the day before yesterday and was really confused.
As a top businessman with a strong social skills and a master of capital operation, he is very clear about the difference between Ma Yun's era and the Ma Yun of that era.
The former is equivalent to becoming a god!
Alibaba is indeed a lonely master among Internet companies. Back then, the West Lake Swordsmanship was indeed a bit like a one-stop show. Of course, Tencent is now developing very well, especially in its gaming industry.
At last year's Wuzhen Internet Conference, there was one dinner after another, but no one invited Lao Ma.
And the latter is to take away the aura attached to Ma Yun's various legendary stories. What about five minutes to convince Sun Zhengyi, what about the tiger's body shaking, Cai Congxin directly chasing to Hangzhou to invest, etc.
This is a reputational blow!
The conflict between Jing Gao and Ma Yun has been going on for a long time, and he knew about it, so he didn't ask what happened. However, he never expected that Ali would lose in the battle of public opinion and attract comments from the central media. This shouldn't be the case.
In today's Internet environment, which big company is afraid of public opinion wars? If you give money, there will be a lot of trolls to take over the work. Then send a lawyer's letter, as long as it is not a particularly outrageous matter, controlling Internet public opinion, or shifting Internet public opinion, does not mean
It's not a difficult thing.
When a business tycoon's reputation is weakened, it means the decline of his own strength! Because many times tycoons mobilize funds and negotiate business based on their own reputation and credibility!
The bar's private room is gorgeous and luxurious, with dim lighting. Various dishes and food are placed on the long marble coffee table.
Ma Yun held the wine glass, leaned on the sofa, and said with a smile: "Guangchang, that's it. Anyway, I decided to retire this year and leave Ali to my brothers. The reputation will fade after I am no longer in the world, the world will still be the same.
There will be my legend."
Guo Guangchang rubbed his half-bald head, raised his glass with a smile, "Cheers to your words!"
Ma Yun sat on the sofa, took a sip of wine, and the mobile phone on the coffee table lit up. He picked it up and looked at it, and then his face darkened. After a few minutes, he suppressed the anger in his heart and handed the mobile phone to Guo Guangchang.
.
What Guo Guangchang saw was the meager hot search list. The top one was: Alibaba’s ice-breaking culture.
If you understand, you will understand. If you don’t understand, go search it on Facebook.
The Internet storm suddenly broke out. Alibaba's reputation dropped this time even more seriously than Zhaoshi Group's counterfeiting.
And this time no one will allow the post to be deleted.
