October 31st was the season of late autumn and early winter. In the afternoon, the sky was slightly gloomy and the wind was biting. It seemed like a winter rain was about to fall. On the campus of Aurora University, students wearing thick winter clothes could be seen everywhere.
Liu Ziyu, a junior at the School of Journalism, and her friend Gu Xixi from the Department of Materials Science came out of the library arm in arm. When they walked down the long steps, the eyes of the college students who came in and out were all staring at each other.
These two golden flowers, one tall and one petite, are very well-known in Aurora University. Although the figures of the two beauties cannot be seen in the thick woolen coats, the two beautiful faces are really beautiful.
Dazzle a man's eyes.
"Xiao Song!" Liu Ziyu saw her boyfriend Song Yan waiting under the maple tree in front of the library at a glance, and immediately waved her little hands excitedly.
Gu Xixi has a very beautiful appearance, and her facial features are like jade carvings, exquisite and flawless. She is 1.72 meters tall, wearing a light pink down jacket, and has a slender figure. She walked over with her friend, waved to say hello, and was close to him with restraint.
He smiled and said: "Song Yan, isn't today Monday? How easy is it for you sophomore year at Dongda University?"
Song Yan is one year younger than them.
Song Yan is 1.8 meters tall, wearing a long windbreaker. He is tall and has long legs. He is handsome and has piercing eyes. He has the kind of talking eyes like Tony Leung. He is very outstanding. "Where is it? I came here on leave."
Liu Ziyu hugged her boyfriend's arm with a happy look on her face and patted her boyfriend's waist, "Children who skip class are not well-behaved."
Song Yan just smiled, a sunny smile, made a gesture as an invitation, and walked out of the school with the two girls. He didn't care about the hateful looks that came his way. He was half chatting and half explaining.
road:"
After late October, the entire Chinese financial circle has been paying attention to one thing: the conflict between Didi and Uber. You must have seen the news. Shanghai is the financial center, and Uber is headquartered in Shanghai. So.
, news gathers here.
I actually came here on the weekend to handle company matters. I specifically asked for leave to stay for an extra day. According to rumors, Mr. Jing came to Shanghai yesterday to deal with Uber’s unfavorable financing issues. Hey!"
No matter how powerful Song Yan is, he is only a 19-year-old young man. He can't help but reveal some of his true emotions towards Jing Gao in front of his girlfriend Liu Ziyu and Gu Xixi, who is close to him.
Gu Xixi asked: "Song Yan, who will win in this confrontation?"
She is very curious about the progress of the matter. The news on the Internet is all superficial. Now the supporters of Uber and Didi are arguing online. Her family has assets of more than one billion. Based on her understanding of business competition, it is estimated that both parties
They all used naval forces.
songs
It is basically certain that the company will be doomed. It is a fact that Uber only raised less than 800 million US dollars some time ago. Capital is voting with its feet."
If he were in a higher position, he would definitely do better than Jing Gao.
Liu Ziyu smiled proudly, then suddenly remembered something, "Oh, I have to call Han Jun. I can't go to the theater with her tonight. Xiao Song, where should we go to eat tonight?"
Gu Xixi smiled knowingly. Most of Song Yan's dissatisfaction with Mr. Jing came from their mutual good friend Wang Hanjun. Her Royal Highness, the princess of the HNA Group, admired Mr. Jing so much that she felt that Song Yan was not even worthy of carrying Mr. Jing's shoes.
No one would be comfortable with this kind of comparison. What's more, Song Yan is indeed a very good boy with a competitive character. If he has a Buddhist personality, how can the company do it?
Song Yan said: "I sent a WeChat message to Lin Liuli and Rener. Rener has something to do and has to rehearse a play. Liuli has no plans for the evening. Let's go to eat Cantonese food together. I made a reservation at Tang Pavilion."
Liu Ziyu held the mobile phone, listened to the beeping sound coming from it when it was not connected, and said with a smile: "Okay."
…
…
Song Yan's disapproval of Jing Gao was still in a very superficial cognitive state. This actually represented the views of certain classes in the Magic City.
They do not have access to the most core information, such as the current competition data between Uber and Didi on subsidies, the data of the trolls, the respective goals of both parties, scheduling, etc. They can only make judgments based on the simplest logic.
Xia Rongxi, Jing Gao's "Hound", also made this judgment. He was in the "Lanting Teahouse" run by Ouyang Wan, urging Ouyang Wan to keep a distance from Jing Gao. "Mr. Ouyang, the film and television industry is now shouting at Phoenix Film and Television."
He was killed. I was among them, and the feeling was really turbulent!"
Haotian Pictures, Huzhi Media, DreamWorks, Huayi and other film and television giants jointly launched a boycott. He, a newcomer who had just entered the film and television industry, was trembling with fear.
Classical music was playing in the private room of the tea house, and sandalwood was curling up. The air conditioner was on. Ouyang Wan was wearing a goose-yellow tight sweater and sitting at the wooden table. The curves of her upper body were graceful and moving, showing off her beauty.
It was impossible for Ouyang Wan to tell Xia Rongxi that she had invested 120 million yuan in Uber a few days ago, which was all the funds she could raise in a short period of time. She was an outsider in business. This suggestion naturally came from her capable assistant Guo Pojun.
of.
Because, no matter whether Uber acquires Didi or Didi acquires Uber, as long as they can get admission tickets, there will be good profits in the end. Xiaoxiaomi like them don't need to worry about the attitude of Alibaba.
Ouyang Wan chuckled and drank tea elegantly, "Mr.
"
Xia Rongxi said nonchalantly: "If you don't care for yourself, you will be destroyed by heaven and earth. Mr. Jing's ship is obviously going to sink, so why should I accompany him? Mr. Ouyang, I won't hide it from you. I recently had a meeting with Mr. Zhou from DreamWorks."
Get on the line. Judging from the news from him, it is only a matter of time before Jing Gao is finished. Do you think the Alibaba department is only preparing for the current public opinion offensive and banning Alipay? There will be more later."
Ouyang Wan suppressed the surprise in her heart, took the teapot and poured herself tea, and said with a smile: "Mr.
I called Jing Gao.
She is not really worried that Jinggao will lose the competition with Didi. Who would worry about a man who has only been in contact a few times? She is worried that Didi and Uber will become really popular and the two companies will not merge in the end. Then she
I'm going to cry to death!
It’s not like this kind of bad thing has never happened in business history. Assuming Didi has the advantage and wants to kill Uber and not merge with Uber, then she will go bankrupt.
…
…
In the midst of the competition between Didi and Uber, all kinds of strange phenomena have appeared. If Song Yan is an onlooker and takes pleasure in others' misfortunes, then Xia Rongxi is an information party. After getting inside information, he immediately jumps into the counter-attack.
When Ouyang Wan called Jing Gao, he was already on the plane bound for Shencheng at an altitude of thousands of miles. This was a private plane provided by a charter company, flying from Shanghai to Shencheng.
"Ms. Ouyang?" Jing Gao looked at the number on his personal mobile phone, answered the call, and expressed curiosity with a smile.
The reason why he is so polite to Ouyang Wan is of course not because Ouyang Wan is particularly beautiful. It is because Ouyang Wan invested 120 million yuan in Uber. He is not short of funds, but at this time, Ouyang Wan still has to bear the favor.
Ouyang Wan smiled charmingly and said: "Mr. Jing, I heard that you are in Shanghai. Do you have time to come to my place for a cup of tea?"
Jing Gao said apologetically: "I'll be very busy recently. Let's wait until I finish." He didn't say that he was not in the Magic City.
Ouyang Wan lowered her voice and asked in a tone that said we are one of our own: "Mr. Jing, are Uber and Didi going to fight to the death?"
Who is Jing Gao? As soon as he heard it, he understood that Ouyang Wan was worried about the safety of his funds. After thinking about it, he said: "We should go back."
On the phone, Ouyang Wan: "..."
Jing Gao exchanged a few pleasantries and hung up the phone with Ouyang Wan. There was no need to explain to her now. Later she would understand that in the end, Didi was the loser.
"Mr. Jing, drink some water." Jiang Zi brought a glass of warm water to Jing Gao.
Jing Gao nodded and looked at the white clouds outside the plane window. All the doubts and disapproval at this moment were also a kind of spur and encouragement to him!
His character is so stubborn!
…
…
It was after 6 o'clock at night when the plane landed in Shencheng. After arriving in Shencheng in the south from the cold city, I immediately felt that the temperature was suitable.
Jinggao had already prepared. On the plane, he went to the bathroom to take off his sweater and woolen pants and put on autumn clothes.
Naturally, the Shenzhen side is much looser than the capital city. Wu Jingshu, Li Yifeng, and Wei Chenjun who came to pick up the plane drove the convoy directly in and waited at the airport.
"Mr. Jing, good evening."
"Mr. Jing, thank you for your hard work."
Jing Gao shook hands with Wu Jingshu, Li Yifeng, Wei Chenjun and others one by one, very calmly. But precisely because of this calmness, people felt the heavy pressure on his shoulders. Who doesn't know the situation Phoenix Fund is facing now?
?
Jiang Zi, a mature and beautiful woman with a graceful figure, was sweating on her forehead due to the heat, but she had no place to change clothes, so she could only endure it. She followed Jing Gao and looked at the 28-year-old Wu Jingshu with envious eyes.
Wu Jingshu is able to take charge of Jiuge Capital at this age entirely because of Mr. Jing's trust. And she believes that she can also gain Mr. Jing's trust and then take charge of one side. Her financial level in the secretarial group is higher than Wu Jingshu's. But because
Wu Jingshu was proficient in many foreign languages, so she was selected by Mr. Qiao in May and was led south by Mr. Jing.
The group of people got into the car, and a convoy of five cars slowly left Shencheng Airport and headed for Guanlan Golf Villa.
In the fleet's second luxury Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle, Wu Jingshu, as a senior executive of the Phoenix Department, reported the latest confrontation to Jing Gao: "Mr. Jing, according to the news from within the Didi company, Didi is collecting Uber
black material.
These black materials mainly focus on violations, safety and other incidents. Yesterday afternoon, a safety accident occurred in Uber's online car-hailing service. A driver in a third-tier city suffered from mental illness and caused a car accident while driving. Three cars collided.
One person died and five were injured. He registered using his father’s ID card and bypassed our review mechanism.”
Both Uber and Didi each have "sources of information" in the other company. They cannot hide many things from the other party.
Jiang Zi's forehead was suddenly sweating again because the air conditioner in the car was much cooler. This... wouldn't make Uber suspend operations for rectification, right? That would be a big problem. It's really a leak in the house and it rains all night long!
Jing Gao was silent for a while, then exhaled and said: "Human life is at stake. As a platform party, we will compensate when it's time to compensate, and apologize when Xiao Qiao comes to apologize. Don't shirk responsibility. Let Liu Zhen handle it. She has rich experience.
, fully responsible for this matter."
Wu Jing wrote: "Mr. Liu has already rushed over."
Jinggao nodded.
At this time, Jing Gao's personal mobile phone rang. Jing Gao took out the mobile phone from his pocket, looked at the number on the screen, and answered the call, "Mr. An, hello."
"Alas..." An Xiaoqian let out a long sigh and said deeply apologetically: "Mr. Jing, I'm sorry. I failed to inform Mr. Ren of your thoughts in time, which caused you..."
Anyone who is not blind can see that the Galaxy Group is suppressing the Phoenix Fund. Haotian Pictures and Hu Zhi Media are all companies that are part of the Galaxy Group. They have a seat at the highest decision-making meeting of the Galaxy Group.
Jing Gao didn't mean to blame An Xiaoqian. An Xiaoqian, a famous strong woman in Handong, was very reasonable when she said this. He couldn't ask An Xiaoqian to sacrifice her own interests for his sake.
.
"Actually, Sister Zhang later asked me what I thought through Jiahui, and I told her frankly. So, Mr. An, it's okay."
An Xiaoqian is a very smart woman, and she understands Jing Gao's subtext: This is determined by Mr. Ren's character.
She was afraid of Mr. Ren and didn't dare to say anything. What about Zhang Ting? She was probably worried about Ren Zhi's thoughts and it was not easy to be a stepmother. And Ren Jiahui must have been told by Jing Gao not to get involved in the men's affairs and did not go to Mr. Ren to make trouble.
An Xiaoqian sighed again and got down to business: "Mr. Jing, I have just learned that there was a tragic car accident at Uber. This is a very big crisis for you. Mr. Ren has someone in Beijing.
There are many friends. Do you want me to go talk to Mr. Ren?"
The implication is "Do you want to admit defeat?"
Jing Gao smiled and said sincerely: "Mr. An, thank you! But, no need."
An Xiaoqian said loyally: "Okay. This promise of mine is valid at any time. You can call me at any time if you change your mind."
Handong, Jingzhou. In An Xiaoqian's office in the Haiyi Group headquarters building, bright lights illuminate the luxurious and spacious office like daylight.
After hanging up the phone, An Xiaoqian walked slowly to the glass window, feeling complicated and unspeakable. From her point of view, she hoped to see Jing Gao take the initiative to lower his head and reconcile with Mr. Ren. But she, who knew the inside story, knew that Jing Gao would take the initiative to lower his head and reconcile with Mr. Ren.
There is nothing wrong with being high.
This car accident happened so unluckily.
…
…
When Jing Gao came to Shenzhen in August, he asked Guan Guan to buy two villas at Guanlan Golf Villa. He happened to stay here when he came to Shenzhen this time. He also has a house at No. 1 Shenwan, but it is more convenient to live in the villa here.
The motorcade arrived at the door of the villa. Jing Gao said to the people in the Mercedes-Benz business car: "Everyone should take a break for ten minutes to deal with personal matters. Later we will find a place on the second floor of the villa to have a small meeting. Let's eat and chat.
"
"Okay, Mr. Jing."
Zhongrun Company has a branch in Shenzhen. Naturally, there are people taking care of the villa. There are also chefs and servants.
After the bodyguards inspected a small living room on the second floor facing the golf course, Jing Gao, Wu Jingshu, Li Yifeng, and Wei Chenjun sat around the sofa and coffee table.
Jiang Zi and Dong Youwei brought a stool over to serve as record-keepers of the meeting.
Jing Gao only ordered a small portion of braised pork ribs with rice for dinner, and said slowly: "Wu Jingshu knows that Lao Li and Mr. Wei don't know much. After the break with Ali on October 17, we didn't do nothing.
Guan Yujia stayed in the capital, mainly to coordinate and be responsible for related affairs. The trolls who fought against Alibaba online were arranged by her. Now, what online public opinion most attacks our Phoenix Fund is foreign capital and data security.
In fact, I received news yesterday morning that the shareholder change of Phoenix Fund has been completed. The shares of Phoenix Fund held by Jiuge Capital are held by me, Guan Yujia, and Cao Danqing respectively. So, we are now
It is a pure private enterprise.”
Li Yifeng is fat and smiles like Maitreya Buddha. He said worriedly: "Mr. Jing, isn't it possible for Phoenix Fund to directly inject capital into Uber in the future?"
The injection of funds must be legal. Jiuge Capital has a large amount of funds. But it is impossible for Jing Gao and the others to come up with billions of dollars.
Jing Gao said calmly: "It's okay. The loans needed by Uber can be borrowed from Bank of East Asia and Dayou Bank. We have enough ammunition to fight the subsidy war. Secondly, there is the issue of data security. Our data center will be closely related to other high-end banks.
Technology companies are also located in Guizhou Province. Uber is already doing the data center migration. Regardless of labor costs and financial costs, it is just to grab time."
Wu Jingshu had an ordinary appearance, wearing business attire, a white shirt, and black trousers. He was holding a bowl of noodles and eating, and asked directly: "Mr. Jing, when will we launch a counterattack online? The current public opinion is really unfavorable to us.
"
She kept these words in her heart. Since Uber has solved the key problems Didi attacked, why should it keep silent?
Jiang Zi and Dong Youwei both stopped writing and looked over. The news about them is going to be next level. They don’t know this yet.
Jing Gao wiped his mouth, put away the lunch box, and sighed: "This is actually a method similar to a conspiracy. What Didi wants to destroy is not our public image. In the Internet age, the public's memory is actually very short.
Li Jiacheng did so many dirty things. Isn't it because he donated a piece to Shantou University that people have always spoken for him?
Therefore, what Didi really wants to damage is our impression among the regulatory authorities. Think about it, if this impression is formed, can it be reversed overnight? A lot of work needs to be done. And Didi will push the regulatory authorities
To prompt the merger of the two companies, who will take the lead in such a merger?"
He couldn't speak to him, but he could still hear some fragmentary news. Professor Wei, Professor Zhao, and the principals of Jingxin University, all the professors were still very concerned about him.
This news was told to him by Professor Zhao. He is an old professor at Beijing University of Technology. This university is the biological son of Beijing City.
Wei Chenjun said puzzledly: "How does Didi promote it? Merger or merger is a business matter." She is a very charming thirty-year-old beautiful young woman, with a slender figure, plump, bright and sexy. She only eats an apple for dinner.
At this time, wearing autumn clothes and sitting on the sofa, he asked.
Jing Gaodao: "Both of us have a large amount of investment from state-owned financial enterprises. This is the internal driving force. I asked Mr. Wei to come over, just to ask Mr. Wei to act as a third party to take over Didi's exit shares. I believe it is not only
I’m talking to Didi’s shareholders. I’m afraid Alibaba is also talking to the shareholders behind me.”
Wei Chenjun nodded.
Jing Gao looked around the crowd and continued: "Didn't Alibaba ban Alipay? Cao Danqing has recently been introduced by Shen Jinyuan to contact companies with payment licenses. I gave them a price they couldn't refuse. The delivery procedures will be completed in the near future.
will be completed.
So, Lao Li, I need you to visit Tencent as my personal representative tomorrow and talk to them about payment channels."
Li Yifeng agreed: "Okay, Mr. Jing." Then asked his question, "Do this...?"
Jing Gaodao: "In the eyes of the outside world, after Alibaba banned Alipay for us, we have to stabilize our basic base. At the very least, we must form an alliance with Tencent. Otherwise, we will be finished."
There are more than just Alipay and WeChat payment methods on the market, but these two are the most popular.
"With the business resources that Alibaba has, they might be able to get Tencent to choke us. Go and talk about it and stabilize Tencent. Our own payment tool will be online soon. Although it will be disliked by users, we have
A sword is better than no sword at all.
The real key to this confrontation is whether I can report Uber's situation to the higher authorities. It is whether we can persuade the state-owned shareholders behind Didi to sell their shares.
Therefore, I will meet with Wang Shitou of Vanke tomorrow. I need his political resources. But our internal affairs must be done first. Wu Jingshu, your task now is to stabilize our state-owned enterprise shareholders. Guan Guan called before, you
Now it's time to visit us. If someone wants to quit, the equity can only be sold to us. We will buy it at a high price.
President Wei, you prepare the funding channels, I will be able to legally transfer 50 billion US dollars at any time. Everyone should perform their duties."
"Okay, Mr. Jing."
…
…
Early the next morning, Li Yifeng began to contact Tencent and prepared to visit. Jing Gao drove to Vanke's villa seventeen miles away to meet Wang Shitou. This was an itinerary he had already booked.
Waves of waves hit the rocks in the sea.
Still in the villa before leaving Shencheng, Jing Gao and Wang Shitou, whom he hadn't seen for a while, were sitting in the viewing living room on the second floor chatting. Last time, they turned on the air conditioner to enjoy the sea view. Now they are sitting in the sunshine similar to early autumn.
.
Wang Shitou has a gray beard and hair, and the Baowan dispute has not yet come to an end. He has been busy recently. Of course, with Jing Gao's support, he is basically under no pressure.
"Boss Jing, to be honest, it would be much faster for you to go to Mr. Yun of Poly for this matter than to go to me. They have many ways."
Jing Gao drank an ice-cold Coke and said calmly: "Mr. Wang, my foundation is shallow. If I get close to them, I will easily have problems in the future. I still trust you, Mr. Wang. I just need to spread the word and have a fair competition."
The environment is fine. Uber is not a company that violates laws and regulations."
There is a very strange point in the Baowan dispute. China Resources eventually transferred its shares in Vanke to Shenzhen Metro. According to normal financial logic, China Resources can continue to hold it. Because the shares taken over by Shenzhen Metro were given by Evergrande.
But China Resources just cleared the stock. When interviewed later, China Resources kept the matter secret.
Therefore, don’t underestimate Wang Shitou’s influence.
Wang Shitou nodded and said: "Okay, let me give it a try. Let me tell you, car accidents are actually very difficult. Although accidents will always happen to those engaged in transportation, people must be responsible. There is also a need to correct the plan. Of course.
, as a platform, Uber has a lighter responsibility. The key is to gain public opinion."
He and Jing Gao are now allies. That's very clear.
Jing Gaodao: "Mr. Wang, you said last time that you would resign as chairman of Vanke after the Baowan dispute. Xia Shang Real Estate under my name is in urgent need of consultants like Mr. Wang. I am willing to offer an annual salary of 100 million to hire them."
Mr. Wang. The length of the contract is up to Mr. Wang’s wishes.”
Wang Shitou looked at Jing Gao seriously, then laughed, "You kid! Go ahead." He raised his tea cup.
Well held up his ice-cold Coke.
On the not-so-distant coastline, raging waves ebb and flow. But the reef in the water still stands.
