In fact, Jing Gao had no intention of staying for lunch. He saw with his own eyes that day that Professor Zhao said goodbye and left during the meal.
How to put it? The diet of modern society pays more and more attention to health and health, especially the middle-aged and elderly rich, who have more taboos. Do you really think they eat "Arowana" like ordinary people? Genetically modified soybean oil, rapeseed oil
, blended oil, these people don’t eat it.
The family sometimes had to cook their own dishes for meals. For example, when he had dinner with Wang Shitou in Shencheng, he learned that Wang Shitou did not eat pork.
In short, it would be quite troublesome to stay for a meal if you are visiting temporarily. Professor Zhao didn’t even stay for a meal, and Jing Gao had no intention of doing so. But they all talked about this meal, and the hostess Zhang Ting invited him, which was not a good idea for Jing Gao.
Just walk away.
More importantly, Mr. Ren hasn’t talked about the key part yet. Which part of LeTV’s assets should be added for acquisition? At least he has no particular intention to buy LeTV’s assets.
"Let's go!" Ren He greeted Jing Gao and left the study first. Ren Zhi followed behind his father and greeted Zhang Ting politely, "Aunt Zhang."
Zhang Ting smiled and nodded, patting his back, "Go ahead. I made your favorite salted goose." She deliberately took two steps back, spoke to Jing Gao, and said kindly: "I'm a little older.
Please call me Xiaojing. Is your foot okay?"
Zhang Ting is wearing a blue shirt and cyan trousers. She is 1.72 meters tall, tall and graceful. She is very well-maintained for her 43-year-old age, with fair and moist skin. She has a mature, elegant and intellectual charm.
A very outstanding beautiful mature woman. This is normal. Generally speaking, the appearance and temperament of the second-married wives of rich men are not too bad. At this moment, she is kind and amiable, like a big sister next door.
Jing Gao replied: "Sister Zhang, it's okay." He suddenly realized that after nearly ten days, the bruises on Mr. Ren's face had disappeared. And the kick he received was almost healed.
The sound of "Sister Zhang" made Zhang Ting couldn't help but smile. She led Jing Gao to the living room and said, "When I was young, Lao Ren liked to practice martial arts, playing with sandbags and so on. I haven't changed it since I got old. It doesn't matter how much you do.
Take more responsibility for the present.”
Jing Gao felt ashamed. In fact, Brother Ren lost that fight. He was a young man after all. He exercised for half an hour to an hour every day and played football every week. His strength and explosive power were at their peak.
"Sister Zhang, you are too polite. Mr. Ren just gave me some advice on business matters, and I benefited a lot."
Zhang Ting gently pulled up her hair, and said with an intellectual and elegant smile: "It's great that you can chat. Lao Ren has fewer and fewer friends now. You are a young man that Professor Zhao is optimistic about. You will come to our house more often in the future."
Jing Gao said politely: "Sister Zhang, I can do it."
He finally understood. Brother Ren made an appointment at noon, and he had the intention of inviting him to dinner. In the final analysis, he still wanted to apologize for the quarrel not long ago. However, Brother Ren is a bit arrogant.
There are many things that are only done but not said.
What a very particular person!
This also has some meaning to the customs of the capital city. Jing Gao’s friend Mr. Xie is a native of the capital city. Probably the custom here in the capital city is that no matter what happens, it must be settled and finished after a meal.
.
The Ren family's villa has three floors, but both Ren He and his wife live on the first floor. The layout is in the style of a courtyard. The study is considered the "east wing". Come out of the study, walk through the corridor, and turn into a flower hall.
, here is the restaurant.
"You guys sit down first and I'll bring the food out."
After a while, Zhang Ting and the nanny brought out the dishes one by one. They were very rich.
Jing Gao's favorite thing to eat is the plate of braised pork. It's not greasy, the fat meat is soft, the lean meat is juicy, soft in the mouth, and tastes good. While eating, he and Ren He were chatting about the LeTV topic just now.
Seeing that Jing Gao was eating happily, Zhang Ting stood up with a smile and put the braised pork in front of Jing Gao, "Eat more if you like. Don't take a nap later. Go exercise and burn off the fat."
Ren He said to his wife, "I want to eat it too." He was a maniac who doted on his wife.
Zhang Ting said in a funny way: "You can just be greedy. If you want to eat meat, you can reduce your three highs." Then she put a plate of cucumbers in front of Ren He as if to comfort her, and said: "You eat this. I gave it to you specially.
Don't leave even a piece of it."
Ren He laughed and talked about daily life with his wife, showing a sense of intimacy.
Ren Zhi lowered his head to eat his rice and did not look at the old couple's "show of affection".
Jing Gao gritted his teeth a little. It was like being fed a handful of dog food. He understood a little bit why the second brother Ren said that day: Since ancient times, there is only so much love and hate, and good dreams are the easiest to wake up from.
This man has reached old age. Second Brother Ren was fifty-one years old at the time, but his health was very poor and his temples were gray. He was almost the same as an old man in his sixties. Being able to have a woman to accompany and pamper him, this is happiness! Where can I have any ideas?
To “take care” of more women?
If I really break my wife's heart, I might end up like Gu Long: before I die, I ask, why don't they come to see me?
…
…
After finishing the meal, it was already around 1:30 in the afternoon when Jing Gao walked out of the Ren family villa at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain.
Zhang Ting's cooking is very good. In addition to braised pork, she also cooks several meat dishes very well. Jing Gao quite likes them. On the contrary, neither Ren nor his son ate them.
Ren He wanted to eat but Zhang Ting controlled him and refused to let him eat. He was in very poor health and suffered from various chronic diseases. Ren Zhi was not very interested in meat, so he ate some salted goose with rice and some vegetables.
over.
After finishing the conversation in the study at the dining table, Ren Zhi took his second brother off to the well. Ren Zhi was twenty-three years old this year, fair and fair, and had an air of indifference about him, like a wandering cloud and wild crane, and he treated everyone well.
I'm polite, but inside I'm actually very proud.
The mountain path at the entrance of the villa is lined with shady trees, and the environment is elegant. Jing Gao, whose emotional intelligence has been developed early, smiled and shook hands with Ren Zhi as he said goodbye, "Mr. Ren, please stay."
Ren Zhi said bluntly: "Mr. Jing, I brought it here because I have something to tell you."
Jing Gao was a little surprised and smiled. He waited for Ren Zhi's next words.
Ren Zhi's expression was a little dull. He handed a "Huazi" to Jing Gao and smoked the pipe: "Mr. Jing, Huang Bai and our family are family friends. She called me and said that she had a misunderstanding with you before. Please forgive me."
.I will be your host another day and buy you a drink."
Jing Gao was stunned for a moment. He had an impression of Huang Bai. She was a very beautiful girl who acted as the eldest sister in the bar. She had a rich background. Xi Siyan could not afford to mess with any of them. Recently, in addition to negotiating with Cheng Yanxi and the circle behind him to vote for Uber, Jing Gao
(China)’s US$400 million, and the mobile phone business that was just negotiated with Mr. Jia of LeTV yesterday, but there hasn’t been any movement? Why does Huang Bai want to take the initiative to “resolve” the grudges with him?
Jing Gao thought for a while, but did not refute Ren Zhi's face, and said: "Okay. Wait until I finish negotiating the LeTV business."
Ren Zhi said obediently: "Yes. In addition, Mr. Jing, I have something else to tell you."
"Um."
Ren Zhi looked at Jing Gao and warned: "Mr. Jing, my sister-in-law is very good to us juniors. I don't want her to get any harm. You won't marry my sister-in-law. Why are you trying to persuade my father to agree to her divorce? Who can
How can I endure her temper like my sister-in-law? At least she was in free love at the time and had a daughter. My sister-in-law is already thirty years old. After the divorce, how will she live the rest of her life?"
Jing Gao looked a little stunned.
Ren Jiahui returned to Shencheng to get divorced? Because he clearly rejected Ren Jiahui and Xi Siyan's love, he had no contact with them at all during this period. He didn't know her current situation. Listening to Ren Zhi's words, it seemed that the second brother Ren had listened to him
But the result was that Ren Zhi became dissatisfied with him.
Jing Gao took a puff of cigarette and did not answer Ren Zhi. There was no way to explain this matter. It was indeed "estrangement but not closeness"! It seems that when it comes to other people's family affairs, try not to express opinions, even if it is a very well-intentioned suggestion.
He originally came to ask Brother Ren about the acquisition of LeTV, and they had a good conversation. I guess Jabs couldn't bear Brother Ren's tricks. He also witnessed the love between Brother Ren and Sister Zhang. But he didn't expect that before he left, he still
There is such a "turn": being accused by Ren Zhi.
When Ren Zhi saw Jing Gao's silence, he nodded and turned back to the house, fully displaying the pride in his bones.
Jing Gao threw the cigarette butt on the ground, crushed it with his foot, and took the car back to the University of Trade and Economics. He respected Ren He who taught him from the bottom of his heart. As a human being, you must respect your teacher. But his attitude towards Ren Zhi was quite different.
Unpleasant.
Before, Sister Zhang asked him to come here often. He was indeed polite, but he was willing to associate with Brother Ren. This is normal. Everyone is willing to be friends with an awesome person. But now it seems that with Ren Zhi's attitude, he does not need to come here again
, stay away from Brother Ren’s circle.
When something unpleasant happens, Ren always favors his son or him. There is no need to ask! This is also human nature.
…
…
In the next few days, Jing Gao’s focus was on the acquisition of LeTV-related businesses. On the morning of Friday, September 9, LeTV held a small signing ceremony to transfer 28.9% of its shares in Coolpad Group to Phoenix
Fund. Price is $396 million.
Cao Danqing attended the signing ceremony on behalf of Phoenix Fund. This was also her first appearance in the media. The president and vice president of Phoenix Fund are both beautiful women, especially the vice president, who is even more beautiful, attracting many comments online.
Then, Jing Gao saw some unsavory comments on Weibo and scolded the head of the public relations department of Phoenix Fund. Cao Danqing should not highlight her beauty in front of the camera, but highlight her ability and stability.
CEO style.
The image is not set well! It is not difficult to not stand out in front of the camera. Wear some shabby black-rimmed glasses, dress more conservatively, have a dark style, etc. Of course, this is a small episode.
When facing questions from reporters at the press conference, Liang Jun, the head of LeTV Zhixin, said: "Phoenix Fund is an extremely excellent capital in China and has strong strength. LeTV and Phoenix Fund will continue to cooperate in the future. Friends from the media, please wait and see."
As soon as these words came out, the financial media exploded, asking for information everywhere. They directly sent emails and made phone calls to request interviews with Phoenix Fund. All this information was blocked by Qiao Shuang. The big media who couldn't reject it were from Qiao Shuang.
She came forward to say a few words.
On Sunday morning, Jing Gao and Li Mengwei were listening to music and reading together. Shu Xiaoya, the top host of Beijing TV station, called Jing Gao and said, "Hey, Mr. Jing, I found that after I got to know you, you kept refreshing me."
cognition."
Jing Gao answered the phone in the study room and said with a smile: "Teacher Shu, that's what you said! It seems like I am doing bad things every day. Is there something wrong?"
Shu Xiaoya said with a smile: "How can you not! I mean, I am surprised and admired by your achievements in business. This is the case. After graduation, a classmate of mine joined CCTV and was responsible for a financial program. He wanted to interview
You. The Phoenix Fund has been making a lot of noise recently. Are you going to enter the mobile phone industry?"
Coolpad is a Hong Kong listed company, and holding nearly 30% of the equity in a listed company means control.
Jing Gao thought about it for a moment and said, "Teacher Shu, please wait for a while. It's not appropriate now."
Shu Xiaoya was a little disappointed, but she still smiled enthusiastically and said: "Gee, it's settled. I'll help him book an exclusive interview for you, a busy man."
Jing Gao muttered: "Okay."
After the chat, Jing Gao thought about it and called Jobs to give him a formal answer.
…
…
As the person in charge of LeTV Zhixin, Liang Jun is mainly in charge of the large-screen ecology. At the same time, he is also in charge of the mobile phone business. In his position, there is actually no such thing as mid-week and weekend. White plus black, five plus two
Of course, the salary and equity returns are very generous.
The sun was shining brightly on Sunday morning.
Liang Jun finally found time for half a day to walk in the park with his wife, preparing to have a meal at noon. At this time, he suddenly received a call from Jia Yueting himself, "Old Liang, you come to the company now, we will
Let’s have a meeting together.”
Liang Jun said in surprise: "Mr. Jia, what's wrong?"
Mr. Jia sighed, "Lao Liang, I told you before that I am discussing financing with Mr. Jing of Phoenix Fund. He gave me an answer. The conditions... In short, you can't think of it. Let's have a meeting to discuss it."
"Okay, I'll be there soon."
The same scene happened to other LeTV executives.
The scale of this meeting was not small. It can be seen that Mr. Jia was hesitant in his heart when faced with the conditions for opening the well.
…
…
In the first half of 2016, LeTV was aggressive and expanding rapidly. At that time, the financial media NetEase Finance made a report on LeTV's core executive team: Jia Yuoting's people.
Talking about LeTV's senior executives is like what a senior writer from Business Weekly in the United States described in the "Blue Blood Ten". This is an example of the capabilities and level of LeTV's senior management team.
The closed-door meeting of senior executives held by Jia Yueting at noon on Sunday included people who had been famous in financial news.
Included are: Liang Jun, who is responsible for the innovation of LeTV, Liu Hong, CEO of LeTV.com, Zhang Zhao, CEO of LeTV Pictures, Feng Xing, senior vice president of LeTV Holdings, President of LeTV Mobile, Gao Fei, president of LeTV Video, LeTV Cloud, strategic projects
Department head Wu Yazhou, LeTV Sports Lei Zhenjian, LeTV Super Car head Ding Lei.
In fact, LeTV’s practice is to hold a cross-department coordination meeting at two o’clock in the afternoon on Sunday. The person in charge of each business line will report. It usually lasts until 8 o’clock in the evening. Today’s temporary closed-door meeting directly reports the usual coordination meeting to
cover.
"Phoenix Fund's acquisition plan is: LeTV Pictures + Huaer Film and Television total 6 billion, and LeTV Cloud is valued at US$200 million, which is about 1.4 billion yuan. It plans to invest another 4 billion yuan in LeTV Automobile in three installments. First
The approved funding is US$100 million. We can announce to the public that we have received a total investment of 100 million yuan from Phoenix Fund.”
At the end of the oval conference table, Jia Yuoting looked tired and briefly recounted the conditions offered by Phoenix Fund. When he received a call from Jing Gao in the morning, he was cursing in his stomach. He settled Jing Gao in the bar, but turned around
This guy just changed his mind. It’s really hard to handle.
Zhang Zhao said directly: "Is he dreaming? LeTV Pictures only gave a valuation of more than 4 billion? If the news spreads, I'm afraid those celebrity shareholders will scold him to death."
Wu Yazhou said: "Mr. Jia, buy LeTV Cloud for 200 million US dollars? How is this possible? Isn't he awake?"
Ding Lei, the head of LeTV Super Car, said: "Mr. Jia, our car project is running very well. We are negotiating with various investors for financing. We will soon complete the A-round financing of approximately US$1 billion. He will invest US$100 million.
What’s that? Just taking advantage of someone’s misfortune!”
"that is."
"That word is used precisely."
Mr. Jia took a look at Liang Jun, his confidant LeTV Zhixin. Liang Jun knocked on the table to attract everyone's attention and said: "Everyone, LeTV is short of money!"
Someone immediately said: "Lao Liang, if you are short of money, you can't sell your assets at a low price."
Many people here are small shareholders in various businesses of LeTV. For example, LeTV Pictures, LeTV Holdings only holds 51% of the shares. The person in charge, Zhang Zhao, has 3.83% of the shares.
Zhang Zhao retorted: "Lao Liang, please listen clearly. Phoenix Fund valued LeTV Pictures and Huaer Pictures as a whole at 6 billion. The real money LeTV got was estimated to be less than 2.5 billion. Moreover, there is no way
Let’s explain to other shareholders. For example, I absolutely disagree with LeTV Pictures’ valuation of less than 5 billion.”
"Mr. Jia, this price is not acceptable. If Phoenix Fund doesn't agree, then talk to others."
Jia Yuoting, wearing a black T-shirt, sat silently at the end of the oval conference table. He is an accountant and is very sensitive to numbers. He leads LeTV Pictures. How much money did he invest in total? 51% of the equity, 427 million invested.
Yuan.
It wouldn’t be a big loss if it could be sold for 2.5 billion! Why was the announcement on May 6 that LeTV planned to acquire LeTV Pictures not completed yet on September 11? Because the current environment in the film and television market is not good!
Moreover, LeTV Pictures has continued to suffer losses in 2014 and 2015, accumulating nearly 1 billion. This year, it will need 1.3 billion in cash financing to continue to produce movies.
According to the financial statements, the assets of LeTV Pictures are 2.957 billion. The price given by Phoenix Fund is less than 5 billion, which is still a premium.
Of course, Jing Gao's high price is really cruel! He bites the bullet. This is a price that makes him very uncomfortable. He wants to accept it but wants to reject it. Moreover, Jing Gao is interested in LeTV super cars, but he adopts the batch method.
The way to invest.
The person who came up with the idea behind Jing Gao is not simple.
While Jia Yuoting was pondering, a group of executives were arguing with each other. Some people still preferred to sell LeTV Pictures. Although the Coolpad mobile phone brought in about 400 million U.S. dollars, temporarily easing the financial pressure, LeTV is still short of money.
The shares of Huaer Film and Television are all in the hands of LeTV, which is certain. The price fluctuates within the normal range, and there is basically no dispute.
There has been controversy over the price of LeTV Cloud. Assets of US$1.08 billion were sold for US$200 million, and no one was willing to accept it. But everyone knew what was going on with LeTV Cloud.
Liu Hongdao, CEO of LeTV.com: "Mr. Jia, the control of LeTV Cloud must be in our hands. This is a core part of our LeTV ecosystem. I suggest that this part be removed. Our financing for external publicity can be used to finance mobile phones.
Add in the $400 million from the side. The numbers are still pretty good.”
The meeting lasted until six o'clock in the evening, and Jia Yueting made the final decision: "Sell it!"
