Chapter 461 The Eighth Master, Come Out To Be Beaten
It wasn't until Xi Sanren left that Wen Liang remembered what exactly the little old horse was doing in the capital.
In the past two years, Xiao Lao Ma seems to have become a homebody. He will only show up at public events such as Internet summits. Most external affairs have been handed over to Liu Chiping.
Liu Chiping is here today.
It can't be that we haven't seen each other for a long time, so the little old man came to the capital to meet and have a meal, right?
Wen Liang didn't think the online ride-hailing business that Xiao Lao Ma took the initiative to mention was significant enough.
At least it's not enough for now.
At present, both Didi and Kuaidi only burn tens of millions of dollars in cash, and the total amount does not even exceed 100 million U.S. dollars.
Mapperli just mentioned it casually. At most, he invited Bolang and Sequoia Hillhouse to integrate the current online car-hailing market.
As for the matters related to the listing of Bolang Xiaocheng that Wen Liang took the initiative to mention, it is still the same. Whether he mentions it or not will not affect the progress of the matter. In the end, it will take the teams of all parties to connect before it can be implemented.
You can't guess the left and right, and you are gentle and don't waste your energy. Anyway, whether the little old horse wants to continue the alliance of interests or become an opponent will not affect the current overall situation.
Because White Goose’s business scope and influence are not in this area.
During the entire lunch session, the most important thing was the exchange of information.
There are things Wen Liang knows, and there are things Wen Liang has not heard yet. Among them, Liu Baye is not determined to give up, which is completely expected.
Lao Liu has always been doing well, and is known as Liu Ba Ye among the people.
——Ba Beile, the eighth son of Kangxi, has a clique named Ba Ye. In the film and television works, Ba Ye is a sanctimonious, kind, ruthless, clique-oriented, corrupt and perverted image, which is the same as Lao Liu's current behavior.
That’s why it has this ‘elegant name’.
Boss Lu from Fanhai will show up, and Wen Liang also knows about it.
After all, when he came to the capital to start a war with Weiluo at the beginning of the year, Oceanwide gave up the vast majority of Weiluo Holdings shares he held, giving away the massive gains from friendship in the previous two years.
No one will be happy if you let it happen to you.
After all, the current Oceanwide is not the precarious Oceanwide in the future.
In addition, Bolang Group also indirectly affected the real estate business interests that Oceanwide attaches great importance to at this stage, and took away the property rights of all the land parcels that Oceanwide had expected to purchase in Jiangxia.
Boss Lu is indeed a better person than Liu Baye. He has always kept a low profile, and there is not much news about him on the Internet now or in the future.
He has a wide range of friendships, and it is reasonable for Wanda's Lao Wang to be interested in siding with him.
Including Ma Ali preparing to officially join the team, although Wen Liang has not heard about it yet, it is not surprising.
Generally speaking, it is well known that SoftBank saved Alibaba, and Alibaba and online public opinion, including self-media, are the main propaganda caliber.
But we must go back to the earliest days. The first opportunity to change Alibaba's destiny was given by Goldman Sachs. It should be said that it was led by the investment bank manager responsible for technology and Internet investment in Goldman Sachs Asia. He paid 5 million US dollars in exchange for 50% of the shares at that time.
.
The headquarters of Goldman Sachs wanted to cross out the points at that time, but in the end, it only spent US$3.3 million in exchange for 33% of the shares, and the remaining investment of US$1.7 million was also led by this person.
This investment allowed Ali to jump from Hangzhou to Hong Kong, and Ma Ali was working in Hong Kong for a long time.
That was 1999.
The global Internet industry is booming, and Chinese Internet companies are widely popular, before the Internet bubble reaches its highest point in this century.
Although Alibaba later failed to meet Goldman Sachs' expectations, and Goldman Sachs sold its shares in 2004 for US$22 million, Goldman Sachs has been hiding behind Ali for so many years. For example, the recent 8 billion syndicated loan has
Goldman Sachs.
To sum up, Bolang Group now has enemies on all sides.
Liu Baye, Ma Ali and others are considered to be the takers of the Goldman Sachs group. The failure of the model projects made by Goldman Sachs in China was easily caused by Wen Liang's dignified means and was thoroughly investigated. They have been constantly giving Wen Liang and Bolang
The group is looking for trouble.
The relationship between Boss Lu and his representative is relatively complicated. There are reasons why the real estate cake was partially touched by the Bolang Group, and there is also some kind of temptation from the real estate pan-interest group.
In addition, there are also friends who want to use the power of these parties to touch the Bolang Group and the gentle boss and boss.
In addition, Lao Miaotou told Wen Liang before that the bosses and his team have lowered their profile. Now it is hard to say whether they will continue to sit on the sidelines and not choose to add insult to injury.
There are also potential opponents who may be gentle and even old-fashioned but have not yet figured it out.
Enemies from so many aspects, except for Goldman Sachs, an overseas organization that can be called "Goldman Sachs Aramco" and likes to engage in major things such as state-private reform on a global scale, they all come from "inside."
Thinking about this, Wen Liang couldn't help but shake his head and purse his lips and sighed: "Sure enough, the biggest enemy is always internal problems, and the only ones who can really seek death are internal ones."
As soon as his thoughts changed, Wen Liangliang sorted out the order of priority, one, two, three, four and five, and decided to deal with Liu Baye first.
This is in line with my own wishes, and secondly, it is also beneficial to Bolang's current terminal business.
After all, Liu Baye and Weiluo are inextricably linked, and they are the kind of people who can't stop sorting things out but still get messy. When Wen Liang initially targeted Weiluo, he actually paid great attention to controlling the scope of targeting and separated people from the company.
Therefore, the declining main business will not have much impact, and it is still quite valuable.
Wen Liang has his own thoughts: "The situation is already so complicated, and only when it becomes chaotic can we take action."
Having made the decision, Wen Liang stood up, patted his butt and threw himself on the bed: "Have a rest and prepare to go to Minister Miao Da's house for dinner~"
…………
At 6:45 in the evening, Wen Liang got out of the car and walked into the familiar alley. Shi Shiran entered one of the courtyards and sat down at the dining table in the east wing with a swagger.
Coming out of the main room, Lao Miaotou, who was a few steps late, paused at the door and glanced at Wen Liang: "Are you really rude, is it my home or yours?"
"Come on, come on, come on, Mr. Miao, sit down quickly." Wen Liang stood up quickly with a smile on his face.
Lao Miaotou: "!!!"
Sitting down opposite each other, Lao Miaotou handed the wine in his hand to Wen Liang, and the old god stood up.
Wen Liang deliberately looked at the wine bottle and said in a nonchalant manner: "This is not bad."
He took the three-cent wine glass, poured two glasses, clinked the glasses and took a sip.
The news just started playing on the TV.
The two people's attention was mostly diverted, and they only occasionally made a 'comment', which was very instructive, especially the old man.
He is a minister, so he knows a few things.
Wen Liang was patronizing Eleven and happily bragging to strangers. He didn't know what big things had happened recently.
"It turns out that Mr. Ping is outside."
"You don't even know this?"
"Don't you know where I went?"
“So chic~”
"The Silk Road is a good direction."
"Stop talking, I just remembered that I had invited you to the APEC Business Summit in Bali on the 6th, but you didn't attend because you were traveling!"
"It has nothing to do with me, I'm just a student."
Lao Miaotou: "..."
With the current size of Bolang Group, we can participate in business-related conferences in the Asia-Pacific region, and even around the world.
There are 1,200 business representatives in the summit being reported, and Bolang Group is certainly among the invitees, and has already sent an invitation letter to Wen Liang himself.
To be honest, Wen Liang didn't even know what the invitation looked like before he sent it.
Of course, Chen Jiaxin went on behalf of Bolang Group.
It's not that Bolang Group needs to do anything through this summit, but zz is right, because Lao Pingtou attended the summit, and several people including Mr. Ning also followed. Today Lao Pingtou gave a speech at the closing ceremony again, which he paid great attention to.
.
Half an hour passed. Lao Miaotou turned off the TV, picked up a peanut, and looked at Wen Liang: "What do you think?"
"I hope there will be a clearer direction." Wen Liang said bluntly, "Personally, I am really fed up with such unnecessary targeting over and over again, and it is targeting that goes far beyond the scope of business.
"
The old man agreed: "Theoretically, that's true, but you also know how naive it is theoretically."
"Yes." Wen Liang did not deny it, "So this is my personal opinion. Just keep looking forward to it and do your best."
Then, Wen Liang chuckled: "Of course, when I tell you this, I definitely hope that Minister Miao Da will give me some help and don't let me carry it alone. I am developing the enterprise in my own right, so why are you staring at me?
Right."
The old man drank his wine and replied calmly: "I'm just a small minister."
"Then don't blame me." Wen Liang snorted directly, "The West is targeting Bolang Group, but our Bolang Group has not complained at all, and has also taken the initiative to restrict the marketing of its Xiaocheng Book, including Weibo and other platforms...
…”
"Mr. Miao, you don't want us to incite the 'passion' of netizens, do you?"
"Anyway, what I'm asking for now is for Bolang to eat better, live better, and keep moving forward in life. As long as the group's profits are greater, marketing... Bolang dares to say so.
The ancestor of this era!"
Lao Miao glanced at Wen Liang and curled his lips: "Are you sent by God to torture me? I really want to kill you."
Wen Liang just looked at the old man quietly, and after a long time he said, "I admire your double standard of not blushing or out of breath. You were the one who made the joke first."
Lao Miaotou: "..."
He sighed.
Wen Liang spread his arms directly and said: "Now there is a lot of pressure on Lao Li's head. I, Lao Li's family have paid a lot of price. Don't you know the pressure they are under?"
"Don't you know the disadvantage of pre-selling this thing? No, it's because you don't want to involve your whole body!"
"Because I am radical and sharp, Lao Li's family pays for me. I believe that after all, I need to get more shares from the big market, so I can only look for real estate. This is something I took the initiative to provoke. I deserve to be targeted, but don't
What about?"
"To put it bluntly, I can take a good look at Mr. Liu Ba now. At least he has always been clear-cut and acted like a dog to outsiders. It is not an internal problem!"
The old man sighed secretly again, finished the wine in one sip, and put down the glass: "You and I both know this. Personally, I am also depressed and I am fighting for you. Don't just talk about what you have endured, but also think about your enjoyment.
Yes, don’t deny that there are exceptions.”
"But... to tell my conscience, I don't know... what on earth I am thinking."
He pointed to the ceiling.
I don’t even want to mention my name this time.
Wen Liang was silent, and he couldn't even understand Lao Pingtou's thoughts. He only knew that there was nothing wrong with his tendency.
At the end, Lao Miaotou emphasized: "Anyway, you have to tell me what you want to do."
Wen Liang calmed down and said seriously: "Starting from Liu Baye, we will only engage in these lackeys, pawns, and vanguards in the shopping mall for the time being, with the group's interests as the primary purpose. This way, even if there is any accident, it will not be a loss.
, as for the other things, we’ll deal with them as we walk.”
After saying this, Wen Liang looked at Lao Miaotou and said in a sincere tone: "Neither I nor Bolang want the competition to spread unchecked behind the scenes. Bolang Group's energy should be focused on overseas markets first rather than wasted.
On these grounds I do not think are necessary at present."
Lao Miaotou summed it up gently: "Let business be handled by business."
Then he commented calmly: "It's difficult. It's hard to distinguish between business and politics."
Then he said: "Of course, I will give you a guarantee. Some people and I will not stand idly by, so you can rest assured."
"Come on, come on, take a sip to moisten your throat." Hearing this, Wen Liang grinned happily and half stood up to take the wine bottle, his enthusiasm almost overflowing, "The food at Grandpa Miao's house is still delicious.
.”
Lao Miaotou: "..."
At nine o'clock in the evening, Wen Liang left Lao Miao's house at a leisurely pace, humming a little tune and muttering: "Master Eight, come out and get beaten!"
…………
Back at the Four Seasons Hotel where he stayed, Wen Liang had already sobered up.
The wine at Lao Miao's is pretty good, and you won't have a headache even if you have a hangover.
Wen Liang's drinking capacity has improved in the past two years, and he can drink about eight taels. He and Lao Miaotou drank a one-pound bottle together, and then dispersed, so it no longer had much impact.
In the desk area separated from the living room of the suite, Wen Liang was listening to Li Xia's report.
After arriving in the capital, Lixia has never been idle. The team of secretaries she is in charge of is also collecting information in various aspects.
Mainly mentioning Liu Baye, Goldman Sachs, Alibaba and other movements. It doesn't matter what Boss Lu is doing. They can't do anything. They are just speculating on public opinion.
In fact, the Bolang Group cannot be regarded as directly seizing the interests of the real estate company. It can even be attributed to enemies in the same industry. The conflict is not too serious.
At least that's the case when it comes to the level of Wen Liang and Boss Lu.
You can still sit and drink together.
The competition below the company hardly affects the conflicts among the decision-makers at the top.
Even after 3Q was beaten like that, Boss Zhou and Xiao Lao Ma can now just smile and forget their grudges. This is because Boss Zhou is relatively 'young'.
"First sort out Liu Baye's information and find out the parts that can be fed back through normal channels and submit them according to the process." At this point, Wen Liang's thoughts changed and he arranged, "Please ask Lin Hong to come to the capital overnight."
Li Xia responded: "Is there anything else I want to tell Mr. Lin?"
Wen Liang shook his head and continued: "Remind people who use the Internet ecology to pay attention to public opinion. Please Xindai and Zhou Hongming to pay attention to public relations together. Please ask Chen Jiaxin in Bali to return to China immediately."
"In addition, overseas markets can be put aside appropriately to give Apple breathing room and allow us to concentrate more on accumulating more strength..."
Wen Liang arranged a lot of things in one go.
Striving for peace on the outside and peace on the inside will never change.
No matter what, the core is to take the interests of the group as the primary purpose, and keep expectations for other aspects, but do not force it, because there is nothing we can do anyway.
According to the conservation of energy, every time Bolang Group grows, someone will lose a point. Never count on being unrivaled.
What Wen Liang is dissatisfied with is:
He has been working hard to place the battlefield for the development and growth of Bolang Group overseas, while almost completely retaining the benefits attached to the struggle domestically, such as Bolang's ten major factories, Star Semiconductor, and the consumer electronics industry chain, all of which are beneficial to the domestic market.
.
However, there are endless people with bosses in front of them and bosses behind them, but they are desperate to bring the battlefield back to the country.
You can go horseback riding!
…………
Early the next morning, Wen Liang had just finished washing and walked out of the bedroom to the living room when he saw Lin Hong already waiting for Li Xia.
Wen Liang knew something was wrong, he frowned slightly and made a gesture: "Sit down first."
Then he asked: "What's the matter?"
Lixia replied: "Something unexpected happened with Liu..."
-
It seems that people are not so happy to see the early morning update?
