Chapter five hundred and forty third alliance

  Guan Yujia lives in Villa No. 23 of "R&F No. 10". This is a high-end real estate brand built in Beijing by R&F Group, a well-known domestic real estate developer.

Villa No. 23 occupies a large area and has an annex with a nanny and secretary. Guan Yujia usually lives here, so it is a bit empty. However, it will become lively if there is a baby in the future.

The afternoon in Beijing at the end of August was very hot. Jing Gao and his little fairy Guan Yujia stayed together until the evening.

 In the bedroom, dusk was slowly falling. Brother Jing and Guan Yujia were talking together.

“Brother Jing, when you travel to the United States this time, you are taking Sister Weiwei and Chen Yujie with you. She is willing to indulge you so much!”

Jing Gao put his arms around Guan Yujia's soft waist. The smooth skin felt good to the touch. He laughed and said, "How is that possible? Weiwei regretted it later. When traveling with her boyfriend, how can she bring her best friend with her?"

  Guan Yujia pursed her lips and smiled softly, the charming young woman's charm flowing out for no reason, she was beautiful and flawless in the light twilight, extremely touching. "Brother Jing, what do you think of Lawyer Chen?"

"Hi!" Jing Gao stroked Guan Yujia's hair with emotion, "Of course I have a crush on Yu Jie. However, I don't want to hurt Weiwei. So, even if Weiwei starts to alienate Yu Jie,

I won't cross the line. She has already indulged me enough. Guan Guan, in fact, the man is doing random things outside, does that woman know?"

Many "experts" on the Internet share how they manipulate flowers. In fact, after getting married, very few wives do not notice it.

 Just one thing, now all the information is in the mobile phone, what do you do? Delete the information on the mobile phone? I’m afraid that the cleaner you delete it, the more guilty you will appear! Are you paying the public food? Many details cannot be hidden from the person next to you.

 Guan Yujia smiled softly and said, "I understand."

Jing Gao laughed and said, "No, what do you understand?"

Guan Yujia smiled coquettishly, "Brother Jing, just don't worry about this!"

Jing Gao shook his head with a smile and hugged the beautiful young woman who was a few months younger than him. "Guan Guan, don't think too badly of me! I really don't want to do anything to Yu Jie. Even though I may feel very bad in the future."

It’s a pity. But didn’t I catch Weiwei in the end?”

 …

 …

Jing Gao took Guan Yujia and her assistant Zheng Xiaobing to the Baidu headquarters building to meet Li Yanhong on Tuesday.

Dong Youwei was on vacation, and Chen Qingshuang, Nie Yunxi, and Gu Xixi were working in the Magic City. He simply asked Guan Yujia to be his temporary assistant.

However, as the person in charge of the President Office of Taichu Group and the person in charge of Zhongrun Company, Guan Yujia’s usual work is still a bit busy. It’s not that it’s a very tight work rhythm, but there are some things that require her to nod and make a decision.

 Perhaps some meetings require her to attend. The phone calls are always constant.

Therefore, she brought her assistant Zheng Xiaobing with her and delegated her daily affairs to the assistant. She followed Jing Gao and helped him answer the phone, arrange his schedule and other matters.

"Mr. Jing, welcome!" Li Yanhong put down all the company's affairs early in the morning and waited on the 30th floor of the headquarters building. The assistant picked up Jing Gao, smiled and shook hands with Jing Gao, and greeted them to a bright and comfortable place.

, sat down in the luxurious conference room.

This kind of conference room is not the simple office space in the TV series. It is built very luxuriously. It is like the banquet hall of a five-star hotel. The large area and luxurious decoration make it a perfect choice. It also has a wide view.

After chatting for a while, Li Yanhong sat on the sofa and said straight to the point: "Mr. Jing, iQiyi is indeed losing money, and we also hope to bring in new investors. But at present, we have no intention of selling."

iQiyi is preparing to go public in the United States. Wouldn’t it be stupid to sell iQiyi at this moment? It seems that the Phoenix Group has not received the news. Their influence on Nasdaq and Wall Street in the United States is still poor.

far away.

Moreover, video websites are a standard feature of Internet giants. Alibaba acquired Youku. Although Youku is not doing well, its current market value is only a few billion dollars. But there are video websites! Not to mention Tencent Video, basically

Considered an industry leader.

In fact, Jing Gao knew that iQiyi was going public. He just flew back from New York not long ago. He attended several cocktail parties on Wall Street. As the owner of Uber, he is still very popular with Wall Street.

Everyone knows that Uber wants to be listed on Nasdaq. Wall Street is a step that cannot be bypassed.

 There must always be underwriters when a stock is listed.

 At that time, various gossips were flying around at the reception.

 In fact, not only iQiyi is preparing to go public, but Bilibili, in which Phoenix Group owns 30% of the shares, is also preparing to go public in the United States.

Jing Gao smiled and said: "The equity part is also possible. I am very interested in video websites and the field of long videos."

Li Yanhong pondered for a while, then smiled and said: "Let the people below talk about it. iQiyi is preparing to go public, and Mr. Jing is willing to invest in one round. I agree in principle. However, business is business. In terms of price...

"

Jing Gao smiled and nodded, then continued: "Let's go with the market conditions. Let the people below discuss the details."

Li Yanhong said refreshingly: "Okay, then it's settled." It's actually very difficult for Baidu to support iQiyi alone. The only strategic investors are Xiaomi and Hillhouse Capital.

Then, Li Yanhong said again: "Mr. Jing, the newly launched news section of WeBo during this period has performed very well! Is WeBo planning to turn into a news client?"

According to Baidu's internal research, social media is undergoing drastic changes based on user needs. In the era of portal websites, users browsed the news provided by the portal through computers and viewed news through search engines. But in the era of mobile Internet, users browsed news provided by the portal through their mobile phones.

LiApp: a news client to get news.

Moreover, with the application of big data, various news clients have begun to push the news they like to users.

Toutiao, Tencent News, NetEase News, and Sohu News are all leading companies. Toutiao has risen by riding on this wave of users.

 This seriously threatens Baidu’s interests.

Jing Gao said with a free and easy smile: "There is no special transformation. We need to grasp it with both hands, and we need to be strong with both hands! The Weibo platform not only has an entertainment section, but also a professional news section."

 Li Yanhong smiled slightly, tilted her body and said: "Mr. Jing, have you considered letting Weibo introduce new strategic investors? Baidu's current actions to suppress Toutiao are not going well." These words were somewhat candid.

Jing Gao was amused. He had long concluded that Baidu would never be able to suppress Toutiao. Toutiao uses a news distribution model and uses big data to give users the news they most want to see.

 The frequency of users’ use of search engines has been significantly reduced. This touches Baidu’s core interests. But what can Baidu do?

 If you don’t make progress, you will be eliminated! Baidu became the leader of China’s Internet in 2004. In fact, Baidu has participated in all the trends of the Internet in recent years! It is the leader of the industry! It has money.

 Do you really think Bat is calling for nothing?

However, Baidu failed to seize these opportunities. As an e-commerce company, Ma Yun ridiculed him for not even understanding the logic of e-commerce. As expected, it was a direct failure. Among other products, iQiyi is the most eye-catching.

of.

 Judging from his knowledge system, Jing Gao's trip to the United States gave him the idea that Baidu may have some problems in corporate culture. This is the root cause. What is reflected on the surface may be the corporate structure.

At the time when the three major portals were each leading the way, Li Yanhong, the head of Baidu, was recognized as a "dictator" who treated his subordinates very unkindly and left him alone after using them. The veterans who followed him were difficult to end well.

Even now, CEO Lu Qi, who was invited by him personally to "visit the thatched cottage three times", many people in the Internet industry joke that Lu Qi will eventually be killed by Li Yanhong.

The head of Sohu, Zhang Chaoyang, is recognized as a "good old man". Sohu has produced many Internet talents. However, Zhang Chaoyang's personality is too weak and he has not formed a team such as the "Xiaomi Department" and the "Lenovo Department".

 This shows that he still has big flaws. People who go out miss Sohu!

Ding Sanshi, the head of NetEase, is recognized as the best "product manager" in China. But product manager means that he is not very good at sales. He pursues and prefers a "pursuit" taste.

 So, NetEase’s products are indeed pretty good, such as NetEase News, NetEase Music, NetEase Games, and NetEase Selection. But none of them are number one in the industry.

“Mr. Li, the meager shares may be a bit expensive!”

“Haha!” Li Yanhong laughed. Jing Gao almost returned what he said. He patted the armrest of the sofa and said with a smile: “As long as you agree. No matter how expensive it is, Baidu has to plan on it!”

Jing Gao shook hands with Li Yanhong happily and said, "Then I wish us a happy cooperation."

 After Jinggao acquired more than 50% of Sina's shares for US$2.2 billion in November last year, it successively acquired some shares. At present, Sina's equity and voting rights have been separated through the shareholders' meeting.

  Phoenix Group currently holds approximately 75.6% of Sina.com’s shares and 91.2% of its voting rights.

When Sina Weibo was listed on Nasdaq, it had an AB share structure model. Phoenix Group held 50.2% of the shares through Sina.com alone, with 75% of the voting rights. It also increased its holdings of some Weibo shares through the stock market.

The total shareholding amount reached 65.2%, and the voting rights were 82.3%.

 In Sina’s meager shareholder structure, Alibaba holds 30.2% of the shares and 15.8% of the voting rights.

Therefore, Jing Gao is not opposed to letting Baidu come in and hold a meager stake in Sina. Anyway, the voting rights are still enough. But at the same time, it can offset a lot of pressure from Ali. If Ali does not sell off its meager shares, Jing Gao has no choice.

To suppress!

As for the public opinion platform, although Phoenix Group has the decisive voting rights, within the shareholder structure and the board of directors, it is not a bad thing to have one more opponent. Otherwise it will be very dangerous!

 Li Yanhong smiled heartily and said: "Mr. Jing, happy cooperation! Let's play golf together another day." The gloom in his heart was swept away.

 Actually, both sides are tacitly talking about this. This is a policy similar to "alliance".

In other words, Jing Gao is preparing for the possibility that Phoenix Group may fall out with Alibaba and Tencent at the same time.

 His plans to enter the field of short videos and live broadcasts may offend Tencent's interests. However, after giving in on Pinduoduo, he is not ready to give in anymore.

Short videos and live broadcasts are the next trend of the Internet. This trend has become more and more obvious this year. In the field of payment, the conflict of interests between Phoenix Group and Tencent is getting more and more serious. So, let’s get started!

“Yes! Mr. Li, which golf course in Beijing do you usually like to play at?” Jing Gao said. There are indeed venues that you often go to for playing golf.

Li Yanhong stood up to see Jing Gao off and met Guan Yujia, who was participating in the meeting, and said with a smile: "I usually play at Xianghe International." Walking out of the luxurious conference room, he smiled and said: "Mr. Jing, it seems you haven't joined the Huaxia Alumni Association yet, right?

?Are you interested? I can introduce you to someone."

 In addition to meeting in some public places, China's top entrepreneurs also have various private gatherings. For example: China Entrepreneurs Club, Taishan Club, Jiangnan Club, Zhejiang Businessmen Conference, Chu Businessmen Conference, etc.

 Don't think that the four major clubs in Beijing in the 1990s are the top. They have long been outdated.

 These various chambers of commerce, in addition to being divided by region and fellow students, largely rely on the friendship between business school classmates. The Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business run by Li Ka-shing, the China-Europe Business School run by the government and the European Union, and Ma Yun’s Lakeside University.

Jing Gao smiled as he walked and said, "Forget it. Ma Yun and I had a falling out. I guess it was about the same with Mr. Liu."

Jing Gao is self-aware of this. Let’s not talk about his grudge with Ali. He drove Mr. Liu’s favorite daughter Liu Qing out of the position of president of Didi, and semi-publicly criticized Lenovo for not supporting the 5G standard vote.

Huawei’s behavior.

  Anyway, he doesn’t think highly of Lenovo. The leading “high-tech” company was eventually turned into an assembly plant. What the hell is this?

Walking to the elevator, Li Yanhong's assistant held down the elevator. Li Yanhong laughed and said goodbye to Jing Gao, "That's okay. Mr. Jing, when Uber goes public, you will probably be qualified to form your own chamber of commerce or entrepreneur association. By then,

I promise to support you."

In the elevator, Jing Gao joked: "That's not impossible. See you later, Mr. Li!"

 …

 …

 After returning to the capital and resting for three to five days, Li Mengwei decided to resign from her position at Jiaxin High School to concentrate on the postgraduate entrance exams. Li Mengwei decided to go home and stay with her parents for a while.

 Ziyou Jinggao helped her handle the matter of resignation. Without the pressure of teaching tasks, her time was free.

Of course, her not staying in the capital is also related to the fact that Jing Gao is about to leave the capital. Jing Gao will soon transfer to Shanghai, and then fly to Hong Kong Island to fully promote the listing of Uber on Hong Kong Island.

 At the end of August, the campus of China University of Trade and Economic Cooperation began to gradually become lively. The hot summer gradually subsided, and the holidays were ending.

Ye Jing wore a refreshing sky blue cultural shirt, paired with a high-waisted black midi skirt. Her long snow-white legs were exposed. She stepped on sandals and brought Jing Gao to the dormitory building of the University of International Trade and Economics where she used to live.

“Brother Jing, be careful when going upstairs. The steps are a bit steep.”

This Tongzilou is a bit old and has a quiet smell on a midsummer morning. The walls of the stairs are peeling.

Ye Jing held Jing Gao's hand. She was slender and graceful, with a pair of slender legs that were long and round. She spoke with concern. She was like a little woman in love.

In the new semester, she informed the school's logistics office that she had already bought a house, so she was willing to give up the single dormitory. In fact, she lived here in the second half of last year and lived very little. She did not want to "

From the perspective of "office politics", if she doesn't stay calm, there will be a lot of gossip.

 And living here, if she has something going on, all the neighbors know about it. It is inconvenient for her to have a tryst with Brother Jing!
