A little later, at early three o'clock, a Mercedes-Benz parked in front of an old teahouse near the Drum Tower.
After getting off the car, Wen Liang picked up his collar and shook out his slightly wrinkled coat. He looked around and saw buildings with time mottled features.
There is not much else in the capital. The remaining ancient buildings are quite impressive, and the antique atmosphere is easy to feel.
Withdrawing his gaze, Wen Liang raised his legs and walked straight to the teahouse in front of him.
This time I was invited by Mapperly to have a cup of tea together.
As early as ten days ago, that is, the day before the mobile hearing was held, Mapperly left the capital and returned to Pengcheng. The official line was that he would return to the company to take charge of the company in order to cope with the "ferocious offensive" of the Alibaba group and deal with the risks faced by the payment business.
It's perfect for advancing, attacking, retreating and defending.
With the explosion of Ali's microcosm and the support of Goldman Sachs behind it, there is plenty of bullets. The pressure on White Goose to take the lead in coordinating the response to the offensive is indeed great.
Wen Liang decisively gave up Bolang's dominant position at the beginning, which also gave Maperli a natural excuse.
Mapperli's return to the company is indeed conducive to handling affairs with the highest efficiency.
And because of the indiscriminate review of its payment business, as well as the large-scale risks exposed and the regulatory risks it faces, Baige does need to be treated with caution.
Because Bolang's foreign exchange payment is at the forefront of supervision and actively regulates itself, there is nothing wrong with it.
Coupled with the pressure faced by other businesses, Mapelly's decision to return to the company is justified.
On the other hand, Mapelly left the vortex of the capital at such a time and returned to Pengcheng to sit on the sidelines and have better flexibility.
Assuming that Bolang is the first to suffer a big rout, then Mapelly can make a decision as quickly as possible.
The relationship between White Goose and Goldman Sachs can at least be considered a familiar one.
Don’t forget that Mr. Liu Chiping, the current No. 2 figure in White Goose and the group president, once ‘graduated’ from Goldman Sachs!
Before joining White Goose, he was the executive director of Goldman Sachs’ Asian investment banking department and the chief operating officer of the technology industry group!
In short, Liu Chiping's relationship with Goldman Sachs... is much deeper than that of Liu Qing, who obtained the position of managing director of Goldman Sachs Asia Pacific through his father's constant pursuit.
If Bolang is unable to survive on its own and there is a risk of dismemberment, White Goose's choice to maximize its interests can be to turn to Goldman Sachs and become a member of the group that shares the fruits of Bolang.
With Goldman Sachs' current influence in Asia and their various schemes, they will never reject the white goose that is now stronger than the Ali Group!
After a series of things happened, Mapperly took a private flight to the capital last night.
He didn't leave immediately after Wen Liang showed up at the hearing yesterday morning to express his position. He didn't come to Beijing during his free time in the afternoon, let alone late at night, and he didn't wait until today.
It's also a bit interesting.
Wen Liang has no idea what kind of medicine is sold in Mapleli Gourd, or what special information there is.
After walking into the reserved box under the guidance of the waiter, Wen Liang saw the same familiar faces.
Jingdong Liu, Shen Nanpeng, Zhang Sanshi, Maperli
After the waiter opened the door politely, Wen Liang already had a smile on his face. As he walked towards the table, he took the initiative to say hello to everyone: "Sorry for keeping the bosses waiting for so long."
"Mr. Wen is very polite." Mapelly took over first, "It's because we arrived a little early."
During the greetings, the atmosphere was harmonious and relaxed.
Occasionally he talks and laughs at Yan Yan.
There was a very tacit understanding and they did not mention some of the 'little things' that happened to each of them in the past few days.
I never have friends in business.
Those who offer help in times of need are mostly exaggerated by the media. Even if it is very mysterious in China, the Taishan Society, where Liu Baye is the president, travels thousands of miles to help, is also based on interests. Otherwise, how could Boss Fan Hailu come to buy from the Chinese Academy of Sciences? Withering shares?
Anyway, it is an unspoken rule to treat things that are difficult to talk about openly as if nothing happened. There is no need to break it if you are gentle and unintentional.
Everyone gets what they need, and no one cares about face, morality, etc.
The more successful businessmen are, the less they care about these things, and the less likely they are to be bound by rules such as morality, because they don't have such things at all.
Wen Liang has never done this in business situations.
What makes him slightly different from other businessmen is that he really dares to think and has real ideals.
That's all.
"Mr. Wen has performed another beautiful trick on us. Yesterday's speech was so domineering. I have already practiced it in front of the mirror and am ready to try it when I find a chance." The gentle Shen Nanpeng said sincerely, " Ha ha."
Zhang Sanshi had a sigh on his face: "When I see Mr. Wen, I always feel that time is urging people to grow old and that they are powerless."
Maperli, who was responsible for shaking Wen Liang over, shook his head and sighed: "Niel can still practice some, but I can't learn it even after watching it. I can only yearn for it."
Jingdong Liu had a sympathetic smile on his face, but didn't say much.
He is a real person. Whether in private or in front of the public or the media, many of his words are very direct and can be called candid.
For example, the comments about Vanke in a media interview earlier this year were spot-on.
Fanke, who wants to be a clothing brand, does have a lot of room for development in the vertical field, but it is absolutely impossible to become particularly big.
Brands such as clothing, food, housing and transportation are highly personalized products. It is very good for any such brand to occupy 1% of the market share in the same field, especially for clothes. If two people in the office wear the same brand, the third and fourth people will I almost never choose it, no matter how excellent and well-known it is!
Not even luxury goods.
In fact, things like clothing require personalization. Even seeing someone wearing the same style of clothes as yourself on the street can easily lead to embarrassment. How can you expand your brand? How can there be only a few brands left?
As for future generations, Brother Dong has told more truths publicly...
He criticized Ma Ali for making one to two billion a month and said it was hard to be rich and unkind. He also talked about the two major difficulties in rural areas in China: the price of agricultural products is extremely low and the price of industrial products is extremely high. He also talked about how many people will not be regarded as statistics at all~
Of course... despite this, Jingdong Liu is also a businessman, and he will not be soft on the benefits he can get.
After listening to the words of a few people, Wen Liang said with a smile: "You are all too complimentary, but you are just making a few complaints to see if those things hiding behind have the temper to show up on the stage."
"That is, relying on youth and vigour, you can say whatever you want and bully those old people who can't stand on the stage. You no longer have the shame to speak openly."
Mapperli laughed: "Haha, so it has to be Mr. Wen. We have to be twenty or thirty years younger to have such heroic spirit."
While chatting and laughing, everyone was also curious: "But how did this happen next?"
"In exchange of interests, Xinghai has brought benefits to China Mobile, and the subsidiary clause is the communication base station business contract." Wen Liang answered calmly, without any intention of hiding anything.
After eight hearings, it has long been clear to the outside world that there is a deal between Bolang and China Mobile.
Mobile representatives also expressed their strong support for Bolang Communications in a tough manner.
In this way, Mapperly finally brought up the topic: "The Alibaba department is somewhat rich in resources now, and we are under a lot of pressure. I hope you, Mr. Wen, can take the lead."
Wen Liang did not refuse, but said after careful consideration: "This is not urgent. The Alibaba department is just burning money right now. It is normal to have pressure, but I have already informed Mr. Ze."
"I have to hurry up and clean up the mess in the capital, and then run away quickly."
Jingdong Liu muttered: "The capital... is a whirlpool now."
"A place of right and wrong." Zhang Sanshi said firmly.
"..."
…………
While Wen Liang and Mapelly were drinking tea, there were also small gatherings in other places in the capital.
One of them was a small party headed by Boss Fanhai Lu.
There are not many people.
They are all relatively low-key in the public media, but they are quite wealthy, resourceful and well-connected.
Like Boss Fan Hailu, he has been jumping back and forth to become the second largest shareholder of Minsheng Bank. Under the influence of the 2008 financial crisis that still has some lingering effects, Minsheng Bank has always been his cash machine, accompanying him in the financial crisis.
.
Others are really in danger, but he only has opportunities.
We chatted about the topics at the table, but we still couldn’t do without ‘gentleness’.
"Wen Liang is really... extraordinary."
"Dong Xi brought China Mobile's full support. There is no way to say that we could have just pulled... Gong Xin Miao."
"Youth is capital. He is different from us. Whether it is unspoken rules or rules, he will abide by them when he wants to abide by them. When he doesn't want to abide by them, he really doesn't take anything seriously. If anyone else can do that,
Do you often visit Lao Miao's house when the time comes?"
"This trick made him change..."
"Those who don't know better think he is already invincible."
"He really doesn't know how to live or die, and he doesn't know how high or low the sky is. He probably thinks he has won."
"Nearly 180,000 sets of orders, initially covering the entire province of Guangdong, are indeed a piece of cake. China Mobile really never cares about public opinion!"
Boss Lu just listened calmly and said nothing.
After a group of people finished chattering, Boss Lu said slowly: "Wen Liang is indeed different from us. We can be considered three generations, but in different forms. They play tricks under the table. Even if we are tied together, he is not him."
opponent."
"Someone from above has told me not to mess with him casually. It's okay to compete honestly. Using other methods is equivalent to giving him a chance."
Hearing what Boss Lu said, the expressions of a group of people present changed drastically, and they quickly asked: "How do you say that?"
Boss Lu smiled, lost his temper, and said meaningfully: "Didn't you see what happened yesterday?"
"Some people above just wanted him to bring some people down, but he just flipped the table without any fuss. How many people's faces were ruined by these two issues? If the stalemate continues, it will not be against him personally, but against the overall situation.
"
"Of course, what happens next will still fall on us..."
When he said this, Boss Lu's eyes looked hollow, indicating his confusion about the future.
Because of various factors including various factors including Liu Baye, who has already secured an iron job, Boss Lu has done a lot of research on Wen Liang, so he knows a lot about him.
There is a certain amount of admiration in it.
From what he knew in the world, generally speaking, people with similar status would choose a very easy field.
For example, at the beginning of the century, he said, 'I am not the only one with trillions of dollars... at least... there are 17... hundreds of billions... at least... 50... most of them get rich by... hard work... *... have the ability... themselves
...earn...' someone's son.
These are concentrated in areas that ordinary people have no chance of interfering with.
Boss Lu felt that given Wen Liang's status, if he really liked business, he could do so, but Wen Liang didn't. He chose industries that were extremely competitive and required the development of technology to maintain a leading position.
What’s even more paradoxical is that Wenliang has developed in such a short time that shocked the world, and its peers around the world are now unable to produce products of the same level.
Boss Lu also admitted from the bottom of his heart that he was really capable of riding a horse.
The difficulty of engaging in people's livelihood business and real estate with him is not at the same level at all, so the confidence in speaking is not at the same level at all!
…
At the same time, in other small gatherings similar to Boss Lu’s, the topic of discussion is also ‘gentleness’.
However, everyone has different sources of information and different trends.
In fact, it also includes organizations led by Goldman Sachs.
It can be said that everyone is helpless towards Wen Liang and wants to eat him alive.
Although the game was not completely broken, it still allowed Bolang to struggle out of the quagmire a lot.
How should I put it, with the orders that Bolang Communications has now received, and China Mobile being approved as the first pilot, Bolang Communications and Bolang Terminal are directly a big step ahead.
One step first, every step first.
There is no way, because commercial-grade civilian and industrial technologies require a large number of actual use samples to iteratively optimize a more outstanding user experience.
This is also the reason why many Western technologies are significantly ahead.
Because they were the first to enter the industry, and even the theory was pioneered by them, of course they were the first to take the first step and step by step.
Most of the domestic equipment, domestic industrial software, etc. cannot be supported because there is no actual use feedback, so it is impossible to find the shortcomings.
Even now, many people can't understand why overseas products can produce 400 pieces an hour without downtime, 365 days a year, even though they are built on the same principle, while our own products can produce 200 pieces an hour and often shut down.
As for some industrial software that contains a lot of mathematical engineering, it is even more terrible. Other people's software can call a large number of engineering templates at will, but their own software cannot do this.
Now... in the field of 4G, the world is at a similar stage of development. Bolang has received such a large number of contract orders in China, and it must have better accumulation.
This will make the subsequent pursuit of Bolang more troublesome!
…………
Until he parted ways with Mapelly and his friends, Wen Liang didn't feel that he had understood what was being sold in Mapelly's gourd.
But it doesn’t matter if you can’t see through it.
Anyway, Wen Liang had already prepared for the worst and asked Li Ze and Wang Wanyu, who were in charge of the company, to be more prepared so that they could take the initiative at critical moments.
Now it's just a stalemate.
The impact is not too big.
There is no such time.
In a business competition of this magnitude, if you cannot find a better breakthrough point and attack rashly, the losses will be more painful.
Just like in martial arts and fantasy works, the higher the level, the less likely people are to fight casually, and the fights will usually be protracted, because even if the big moves are blasting against the big moves, it will probably be evenly divided.
If you can crush him, then you can just step on the horse and kill him with one blow without any nonsense.
but……
Wen Liang doesn't have the time to worry about all these matters. He is now packing up and planning to go to Lao Miao's house for a meal in the evening and then leave.
I have to go back to Jiangxia to prepare and get engaged to Su Jian.
Today is already the 25th, and the 30th is right around the corner.
The date was finalized more than a year in advance. Even if there was something big going on now, Wen Liang had to put it aside and go through the originally uncomplicated engagement process.
This is respecting Su Jian and respecting yourself.
Let's put it this way, unless the earth explodes immediately and turns into nothing, elders such as Wen Liang, Su Jian, and Lao Li Tou will put aside the matters at hand.
However……
At nightfall, Wen Liang Shiran walked into Lao Miao's house. After Lao Miao saw him, he looked at him with an incomprehensible look for a moment, and after a rare smack, he sighed: "I don't know if I should say you are lucky.
Or are we really unlucky..."
