The National Day ended with the reluctance of the general public. On Saturday morning, the white-collar workers in the capital started their 996 life again.
In Didi's headquarters building, people were still coming and going. However, Zhang Xiaofeng, who came for the interview, felt a little different.
What’s the difference? Jing Qishen. In the past, Didi’s employee Jing Qishen acted like an “industry boss”, but this time he felt a sense of low-key. Of course he knew the reason. Uber ( China) is very crazy and continues to engage in subsidy wars during the National Day holiday. Its market share continues to soar. And Didi’s funds are expected to be almost burned out.
Zhang Xiaofeng registered at the front desk and sat upstairs for a while. Soon Cheng Wei's secretary came out and informed him, "Editor Zhang, I'm sorry. Mr. Cheng has a very important event today. Please understand. You can go to The company will do other material collection first."
Zhang Xiaofeng is writing a book about shared travel, nominally co-authored by Cheng Wei and Liu Qing.
Zhang Xiaofeng smiled and said: "It's okay. Then there will be Secretary Laoding." Later, he was arranged to interview Didi's executives.
…
…
At this time, Cheng Wei and Liu Qing were sitting together drinking tea in Cheng Wei's office. At about nine o'clock in the morning, the two of them sat face to face on the sofa next to the coffee table, drinking Kung Fu tea and discussing Didi's future trend and strategy. .
During this National Day holiday, the two of them took actions to "save" Didi respectively. Cheng Wei went to Hangzhou to meet Mr. Ma, and Liu Qing went home to meet Mr. Liu. This was their last effort. There was no time left for Didi. too much!
Jinggao made an "official announcement" in Shanghai at the end of September and within a month, maintained Didi's valuation of US$33.5 billion.
Therefore, Didi is facing huge pressure. This is all imposed on Didi by the capital side. I hope Didi can surrender to Uber within a month. At present, all Didi's businesses are shrinking. They are tightening their belts in order to Get through the cold winter.
Cheng Weibai, who was fat and wearing glasses, sat on the spacious sofa and said bluntly: "Liu Qing, do you think we can reach an agreement with Jing Gao today when we meet?"
During the National Day holiday, he and his old friend Wang Gang went to Hangzhou to meet Teacher Ma. Teacher Ma’s real name is: Ma Jack Dad Ali Yun. Teacher Ma promised to help them fight for the best conditions.
At present, Xie Shihuang, one of Ali's eighteen Arhats, has arrived in Beijing. He has also made an appointment with Jing Gao, the actual controller of Phoenix Fund, to have dinner at Xianghe Golf Club at noon today through a friend's invitation.
Xie Shihuang is the only person within the Alibaba Group who holds an Alibaba business license. His name is filled in as the legal representatives of many Alibaba companies. He is deeply trusted by Ma Yun. At present, companies such as Hangzhou Junhan He and Ma Yun hold shares and use this as a platform to control various companies in the Alibaba Group.
It's very complicated to talk about. How did Ma Yun control the huge Alibaba Group and its related companies with less than 9% of the shares? The secret lies in this series of shareholdings in Junhan, Junao and other companies.
Moreover, Xie Shihuang also uses these companies as a platform to make external investments. Therefore, Xie Shihuang is fully qualified to negotiate externally as Ma Yun's representative.
As mentioned before, Alibaba has an internal investment department called Alibaba Capital. The boss is Cai Chongxin.
Ma Yun also has an investment platform: Yunfeng Fund. The general manager is Li Ying. Yunfeng Fund is also well-known in the domestic investment community. It mainly invests in the Internet, consumer goods, and new energy.
Cheng Wei and Liu Qing communicated basic information on the phone. Liu Qing was wearing autumn clothes, sitting on the sofa, looking a little tired, and said: "I think we should prepare for the worst! In case Jing Gao doesn't give Ali
Is it about saving face? Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers!"
She went home during the holiday and had a chat with her father. Her father promised that Mr. Yang from Lenovo would personally come out to greet Jing Gao and have a talk. In business, there is no need to fight to the death, there is always room for discussion.
In fact, it's useless. To put it bluntly, the leader in China's business world today is no longer her father. Lenovo is still a behemoth, but it is indeed in decline. If Jing Gao doesn't even sell Teacher Ma's face, then
Don't expect him to sell Mr. Yang's face. Mr. Yang's weight is really not as good as Teacher Ma's.
Cheng Wei smiled and said: "Liu Qing, you are still too pessimistic. My view is still relatively optimistic. Teacher Ma personally talked to me and Lao Wang for half an hour. His position was also very clear. I believe Mr. Xie should have made arrangements. In fact,
We don’t even ask for much.”
Liu Qing finally cheered up a little, "Yeah."
What is the best situation for Didi now? It is still acquired and controlled by Uber, but their senior management team continues to operate the Didi brand in big cities.
Taking another step back, Didi's brand will disappear. All personnel will be retained and run as a business unit within Uber. This is what Didi did when it merged with Kuaishou.
The worst outcome is that they take their stocks and leave. Didi disappears. Everyone is eventually synchronized with Uber's culture.
While the two were chatting, Xie Shihuang's call came in, "Xiao Cheng, come here."
"Okay, Mr. Xie."
Cheng Wei and Liu Qing tidied up a little and immediately got in the car and set off.
…
…
After Jinggao returned to the capital, he and Weiwei naturally lived in a courtyard house. Weiwei was now in the first semester of her senior year, and the school would not care about renting an apartment off campus.
Weiwei's high-speed train arrived in the capital in the evening. He came out of Su Mei's place, took a shower, and happened to pick Weiwei back.
He received a call from Shen Jinyuan in the evening, saying that Alibaba's Xie Shihuang came to Beijing on behalf of Mr. Ma and wanted to meet with him to discuss the merger of Uber and Didi.
"Old Shen, you can do it. You have a wide network of friends." Jing Gao joked with a smile.
The split and merger of the Zhao Group has been roughly completed. The procedures for equity swaps with Xia Shang Textile and Phoenix Film and Television have been completed. After the Zhao Group's business is divested, it will be renamed Xia Shang Cultural Tourism Company. By Shen Jin
The garden is in charge.
Shen Jinyuan chuckled and said: "This is your power, Mr. Jijing. Otherwise, none of these big men in the world would know me, Old Shen."
Jing Gao smiled and said: "Old Shen, you are so humble. Can you tell me your opinion on this matter?"
Shen Jinyuan touched his half-bald head and said, "Mr. Jing, you are trying to test me. Let me tell you straight. Mr. Jing, no matter how you plan to acquire Didi, meet Xie Shihuang and change your mind."
It’s always a good idea to leave a business card and leave a way to directly contact the Alibaba department in the future. When doing business in China, you will eventually have to meet with Erma.”
Jing Gao thought for a moment, Alipay and WeChat payment are indeed a commercial barrier! He said: "Okay, let's meet!"
…
…
Early the next morning, Jing Gao drove his still somewhat lazy and gorgeous girlfriend to the gate of Jiaxin High School.
"Meng Weiwei, you are really going to be late." Jing Gao stopped the Audi A8, gently helped Weiwei take off her seat belt, and then leaned over to kiss her.
Li Mengwei glanced at the charming Bai Jinggao, looked up at Jinggao, and said in a clear voice: "That's all your fault."
Jing Gao chuckled. A little farewell is better than a newlywed. He tormented Weiwei a bit hard yesterday.
The two sat in the car for a while, then Jing Gao got out of the car and watched Li Mengwei walk into the campus. He couldn't help but think of Weiwei's charming look when she half-squinted her eyes towards the rising sun this morning. A smile flashed across her lips.
Some people say that home is a man’s haven. This is actually only half true. Women are men’s haven!
Jing Gao drove to Xianghe Golf Club. At about nine o'clock in the morning, Du Zhijie, the manager of Xianghe Golf Club, came up to him, bowed slightly, shook hands with Jing Gao, and said politely: "Mr. Jing, hello, welcome."
Since Xie Shihuang set the meeting place here, of course everything has been arranged for "access control".
The actual controller of Phoenix Fund certainly deserves Du Zhijie to receive this treatment in person.
Jing Gao smiled and shook hands with Du Zhijie.
"Mr. Jing, please!"
Jing Gao nodded and looked at the surrounding environment. In the distant Xiangshan Mountain, in the late autumn sunshine in the morning, the maple leaves were like fire.
Walking into the clubhouse of Xianghe Golf Club. This is Jing Gao’s second time here. The first time he came here was to meet Fan Yang and Huang Mingyuan. At that time, Fan Yang wanted to join forces with him to deal with Zhao Canglong, but he refused.
.
Xie Shihuang was in the "Jiangnan Pavilion" on the third floor of the club. When Jing Gao arrived, he was leisurely drinking morning tea.
