The first person to jump up in shock at the news was not the melon-eating netizens, nor the people with prior knowledge, nor the well-informed people who had received the news before noon, but Liu Baye, who was completely kept in the dark the whole time.
Mr. Ba panicked after talking to Wen Liang on the phone yesterday.
He hurriedly dialed countless numbers.
It seems that he has a good network of contacts, and he can find people anytime and anywhere, but in fact, his weakness of being strong on the outside and being stubborn on the inside is completely exposed.
At this moment, Liu Baye's mind was buzzing as he looked at the announcement document from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
There are many retired old men who, after losing their original status, fish and dish walnuts every day to cultivate their sentiments, but they age quickly.
I no longer have the casual 'bossing around' treatment I had before, and I don't have the energy that seemed to be able to 'control everything' before, but I am not willing to accept it.
That's what Liu Baye is like.
Liu Baye, who is about to turn 70, has left his position as chairman of Weiluo Holdings for more than six months. He is as old as he has been in the past five or six years. He no longer looks as energetic as he did in suits and ties in public.
Even the reaction has become much slower.
At this moment, Liu Baye, who jumped up from the sofa, took a few breaths and calmed down, then picked up the phone and dialed.
The connection was quickly connected, and a voice came out: "Hello? Yagyu?"
Liu Baye breathed a sigh of relief, letting his tone be soft and kind: "Hey~madam."
On the other end of the phone was an executive from Goldman Sachs Asia. He had a relatively high-level administrative position and was specifically responsible for some of the administrative business in Asia (excluding Xiaoli). He had been based in Hong Kong for a long time and had a pretty good say.
Although Goldman Sachs is currently doing various things on a global scale and attaches great importance to the Asian market, the division of administrative duties in the Asian market is not so detailed.
Unlike later, Goldman Sachs established a new position as head of China's Global Markets Department. The office is located in Shanghai and is responsible for developing Goldman Sachs' Global Markets Department's client business and product solutions in China.
We have also set up some positions such as China Chief Administrative Officer, and the people in charge are all at a pretty good level, starting with Managing Directors.
There are actually many levels of investment banks like Goldman Sachs, from lowest to highest: analyst, manager, vice president (VP), senior vice president (SVP), executive director (ED), managing director (MD), partner
.
This is just a hierarchy, not an administrative position. It is usually matched with specific administrative positions. For example, the administrative position of head of the global markets department of Goldman Sachs China is matched by the partner level.
Anyway, the people who can show themselves in overseas investment banks basically have to be VPs.
After Liu Baye joined the Goldman Sachs family with his father's years of working as an overseas dog, the main people he could communicate with regularly were basically limited to the Asian region. It wasn't that he couldn't talk to higher-level people at the Goldman Sachs headquarters, it was just...
It's not that convenient to know.
Of course, Liu Baye is very conscious of being a dog, and he knows how to be submissive to the outside world but show off his teeth and claws internally.
Liu Baye didn't wait for another call on the other end of the phone, and hurriedly continued: "The current situation in Weiluo is changing very quickly. What I mean is that we should first cause chaos within them."
"It will be more beneficial if it is coordinated with other aspects."
"Bolang is quite aggressive after all, and it is necessary to control it."
The voice on the other end of the phone was neither salty nor cool: "Withering internal chaos will be more conducive to capturing opportunities in the secondary market, and it will also help draw more energy from Bolang. It is a very good plan."
"..."
After chatting for a while, the other end of the phone mentioned: "The headquarters has reorganized some previous matters and believes that the assessment of Ms. Liu's ability is wrong. It has made preliminary plans to be promoted from managing director of the Asia Pacific region to partner, and will be responsible for clients in China.
business."
Liu Baye was overjoyed, responded happily, and ended the call on his own initiative.
He didn't even notice the inexplicable meaning in the other person's voice.
After Liu Baye got involved with Goldman Sachs, he has been sparing no effort to push his daughter to work for Goldman Sachs.
Without the episode of Bolang, Liu Baye's daughter would indeed have continued to develop in that way. Even when she later joined Didi, she clearly had a clear Goldman Sachs will.
Since April Fool's Day, Liu Baye was fired from his job, and his daughter was also dismissed from her original position as managing director by Goldman Sachs overnight. You must know that his daughter's promotion at Goldman Sachs was much faster than that of the same level.
.
It only took six years to go from intern to executive director of Asia Pacific, and only four years to jump from executive director to managing director, the top level of many investment banks. For a long time after that, she was a highly educated woman favored by the media.
Now, more than half a year has passed, and Liu Baye has finally got everything back on track through his own efforts, and he is very happy.
Without wasting any time, Liu Baye continued to look through his address book and prepared to make a call. When he slid past a name, he suddenly paused. After a little hesitation, he clicked to place the call.
The call was quickly answered.
"Hello, Director Liu, what are your instructions?" Boss Fanhai Lu's voice came from the receiver, which sounded quite friendly.
A smile appeared on Liu Baye's face. Although it was not as respectful as usual, it was enough. He said with a smile: "Lao Lu, such a big thing has happened with the decline, why don't you do it?"
Don’t tell me in advance.”
"Bo Lang's movement was a little too big, and Wen Liang's energy was a little too big despite his influence within the system. He had to wash away the wilting in two days."
"Lao Lu, don't you have any ideas?"
Boss Lu said in a calm tone: "If you have an idea, it may not be enough. The interests affected by Bolang actually have little to do with us."
"That's right, I have to find something for Wen Liang, hum! How can Wei Luo be so easy to control?!" As he spoke, Liu Baye's tone couldn't help but become arrogant.
Boss Lu paused and his tone became meaningful: "You... Director Liu still doesn't know the news?"
Liu Baye subconsciously asked, "What news?"
Then he reacted and quickly lowered his posture: "Lao Lu, I hope you can tell me!"
Considering the years of friendship and Liu Baye's age, Boss Lu still spoke out: "Wen Liang asked people to send real-name letters to several units. The content is very small, but there may be fatal parts, and the rules are not broken.
, as for the unspoken rules, you also understand that they are just playthings."
Liu Baye paused: "..."
Boss Lu said a few more words: "Mr. Liu, for the sake of our many years of friendship, I can only say that your dismissal at the beginning of the year was an open-minded approach. Rumor has it that Wen Liang expressed dissatisfaction at the time and thought it was a challenge.
Basic rules, if..."
Liu Baye understood it completely all of a sudden.
He opened his mouth and waited for a while before saying, "Thank you."
There was suddenly no strength in the voice.
Liu Baye knew that if he quietly and low-keyly became a retired wealthy man after being fired in April, for the sake of his old age and the sake of some people still missing old friendships, nothing would happen.
moth.
Unfortunately, Liu Baye chose to continue to show his face.
Now, he knows how badly he has been cheated, and he also knows that he has become an outcast.
Goldman Sachs deceived him about his lack of information, and finally wanted to squeeze out the last bit of value from him.
Having already reached this point, if he continues to incite chaos within Wei Lai, it will be nothing more than an added crime. It will indeed involve Bo Lang's energy and benefit Goldman Sachs, but it will also allow Wei Lai's internal problems to be completely solved!
Liu Baye is now wavering. Should he go ahead and cause trouble to achieve a result in which only he is injured and everyone wins?
Of course, there must be some extra hope in this result, such as being gentle and caring.
After hesitating for a long time, Liu Baye could not make up his mind.
…………
On the other side, Boss Lu had an inexplicable smile on his face after finishing the call with Liu Baye. He made a few calls without hesitation.
Then he played with the things in the room.
He looked very relaxed.
No one knows that the punctual article related to Liu Baye was written by his boss Lu, who transferred him to Feng Pants.
Coincidentally, Feng Trousers also excerpted this essay into his collection of essays, which was published not long ago on National Day.
Feng Pants can't argue with him now, because the source of this kind of thing is too easy to trace. The source is on his head, and he has to bear a share of the responsibility.
Nothing wrong with it at all.
As far as Boss Lu knows, Feng Pants has received more than ten greeting calls every day in the past two days, and a series of contract cancellations, which naturally includes cooperation with BTI.
Wen Liang gave the fat man Wang Sanri the responsibility for BTI's plan to export a large part of its film, television and animation content overseas. He also knew about the entertainment industry's urinary nature, and only emphasized to the person in charge that he should take a drug test before selecting candidates.
, besides that, it doesn’t matter the character.
Anyway, the first batch of overseas content are all existing mythological works, and slight adaptations must comply with the three views. They are mixed with private goods. BTI's internal review is not for show.
Although Feng Pengtong has no character and likes to engage in private goods, he still has some basic skills and naturally cooperates with him. Now of course he will be terminated from the cooperation.
No matter how good he is at riding a horse, he doesn't have the capital to get involved in large-scale business competitions like Feng Pants, not to mention that the target is the parent company of the cooperative company.
Regardless of whether it was unintentional or not, if something happens, it is essential to take responsibility.
As for why Boss Lu had some plans so early... It was really just a mistake. His original intention was to give Liu Baye some fame. After all, at that time, the two companies, Oceanwide and Weiluo, were so good that they had to wear a pair of pants.
He still has to rely on Liu Baye.
And now the reason why he intervened to detonate it.
That's because Boss Lu knows that there is no essential conflict of interest between Oceanwide and Bolang. Even if Bolang develops the real estate industry, it is just one more peer. There are many companies bigger than Oceanwide's real estate business, and each of them has
Want to have a fight?
Then I don’t know how I will die.
There was no need for him to take the initiative to make things difficult for Wen Liang, but it was okay to slightly disgust both parties behind their backs. Liu Baye was already an abandoned son anyway.
Moreover, Boss Lu is not a good man and a believer. He always looks at people's feelings, but he never mentions helping Mr. Liu Ba.
Obviously, while he was giving up his friendship with Liu Baye, he also wanted to figure out the last remaining relationship.
And Boss Lu may be more ruthless than Wen Liang, and those phone calls he made were not made casually~
Boss Lu has always believed that "friendship is not what you pay for". In his opinion, tarnishing the reputation of Wen Liang, a person who rarely acts openly in the mall, will greatly affect Wen Liang's expansion of friendship.
This belongs to everyone's different perspective. It is reasonable and reasonable to engage in a wave of things, and there is no need to say more.
And the more resources you control, the less likely you are to deny your own knowledge. Boss Lu has believed it for so long, so of course he will not deny it casually.

…………
At the same time, the Internet and secondary markets including stocks, futures and other markets have been affected by the big news of the complete combination of Weilui and Bolang.
The most striking reaction is:
In the Hong Kong stock market, before the market closed, the stock price of Weilui Group rose sharply, with an increase of more than 5% in a short period of time.
Based on the market value of Weiluo Group of more than HK$80 billion, this increase is actually not too amazing.
In addition to the decline itself, some related supply chains, technology stocks, related futures, etc. are all bullish, which has once again fed the stock price of the decline group to rise again.
In fact, for the world's largest personal computer manufacturer, the market value of about 10 billion US dollars is far lower than the expected value. Even if it is a declining computer equipment manufacturer, it cannot blow bubbles like the Internet industry, and it will not be so sluggish.
.
After linking with Bolang Group, it is not surprising that the capital market is optimistic about the decline.
For example, institutions such as UBS and Chase, which have always liked to release reporting documents, have released their latest rating reports on recession as quickly as possible.
All of them upgraded their underperforming ratings directly to 'buy'.
Among them, Chase, the more aggressive one, has also significantly adjusted its languishing target price, believing that each share will rise by at least 100% in the near future, and the market value is expected to exceed US$20 billion.
These organizations are all about eating people without vomiting blood.
Despite this, many leeks still chose to believe this report, and then the stock price rose again, soon exceeding 10%.
There are no ups and downs in Hong Kong stocks.
What followed was a further explosion of online public opinion.
Countless netizens have been talking about the Weiluo Group announcement.
"Wilui's announcement is too brief. It just says that it has reached a strategic cooperation with Bolang. Bolang's Tang Pu will serve as the group CEO and COO, but it doesn't mention the specific cooperation!"
"No need to ask, there will definitely be some cooperation in the computer industry. The current Xinghai computer series of Bolang Terminal is far from being able to exert its strength. Cooperation with Weiluo, the world's largest computer manufacturer, is conducive to Bolang's promotion.
The industry will be further independent and localized.”
"And Bolangdu specially sent a co-founder there. Although the name Tang Pu doesn't appear often, he is responsible for a lot of business and should be relatively good at operations."
"Not to mention all of this, I just want to know that at the beginning of the year, Bolang and Weilui were in the same situation, and they even directly reduced the flagging mobile phone business to zero. How come they have reached a strategic partnership now? Are all shopping malls so magical?
"
"The declining senior management team has basically been changed, and this is not the first time that Bolang has done this. Before, Xiao Chengshu beat Weibo to the point of disappearing. After changing hands, Bolang became Weibo's major shareholder, and the business foundation
, not to mention that the previous struggle between Bolang and Weiluo was mainly focused on the human level, not so much about the business itself... In addition, according to my guess, Bolang's willingness to reach strategic cooperation may be related to the brand Weilui.
Now it has something to do with its poor reputation, otherwise it wouldn’t have changed its name.”
"Bo Lang is really stepping on the horse. I really admire Bolang's business skills. It's no wonder that Bolang can develop so fast!"
"..."
Netizens have always understood everything, and soon the topic turned to changes in the secondary market.
"From the perspective of market value, Weihui is so weak. When converted, it is just over 10 billion US dollars, which is less than 70 billion yuan. It is only about one-fifteenth of the market valuation of Bolang Group! No wonder it has risen so much with just one announcement.
many."
"Wei Wei's mobile phone business has not been cut off, and I just saw rumors that Wei Wei has been planning to acquire Motorola Mobility from Google Phone. If there is another boost from Bolang, doubling the market value will not be a problem."
"In fact, the computer business is also a key part. Bolang has strong capabilities in independent software development and independent hardware design. It is on the same level as Apple. With Bolang's boost, it doesn't have to rely solely on the ThinkPad series.
