In a teahouse in the capital, there were only two people, Su Wang and Wang Kaige.
"A promotion is indeed a promotion, but this promotion may not be easy."
Wang Kaige glanced at Su Wang and explained: "Normally, changes in senior personnel at our investment bank will be known a month or more in advance, but this appointment is temporary. I just made the appointment
I received the news, and the headquarters only gave me three days to hand over to the next person in charge, so I had to rush to the new position."
"Well, that's indeed a bit abnormal."
Su Wang poured a cup of tea for Wang Kaige. If something went wrong, he would become a monster. Obviously, there was a problem with Wang Kaige's transfer this time.
"The returns on some of the investment projects I have been responsible for in the past few years have been very good, so I will definitely be promoted. But for such an unexpected promotion, I feel more like the headquarters is deliberately transferring me out of the Huaxia District.
This is because the new person in charge of China District is not familiar with China at all. He is an Italian-Chinese and has never been to China. He originally worked at Morimu Financial Institution and just joined Carlyle Investment Bank not long ago."
Listening to Wang Kaige's words, Su Wang did not interrupt, because he knew that Wang Kaige must have something to tell him when he asked him out this time.
"Senmu Financial Institution is a very old financial institution. The shareholding structure inside is very complicated. When it was first established, it was rejected by people in the Western financial circle. The reason is very simple. There are many people in Senmu Financial Institution from China.
funds.”
Red funds!
At that time, the West was still very sensitive to red funds, and even rejected and resisted them. It was only in the past few years that it was slowly willing to accept them.
"You mean that the funds in this Morimu financial institution belong to the big families in the country?"
"Yes, and the Ye family is also among them. What is certain is that the newly appointed person in charge has a good relationship with the Ye family, because the Ye family holds the majority of the shares in Morimu Financial Institution. I even doubt it.
, the superiors suddenly transferred me away and transferred him here, it is very likely that the Ye family took action."
Su Wang's hand when pouring tea froze, and then he continued to pour tea, while Wang Kaige continued: "You have heard about LeTV, right? Mr. Jia is not having a good time now. The Ge family has fully targeted him.
And the Ye family is also very likely to fully target you."
"This time it's not the fourth generation of the Ye family. It's very likely that the person in charge of the Ye family has spoken. What you have to face is the entire behemoth of the Ye family's Nanguo Group."
Wang Kaige looked at Su Wang with a worried expression. This was obviously the first step for the Ye family to take action.
"Su Wang, your thinking is advanced in business. I'm not worried that there will be competitors who can outdo you. But your only weakness now is capital. Whether it's Meituan or WeChat, they both need a lot of money.
As the funds continue to be invested, the Ye family wants to drain the firepower, just like the Ge family did to Mr. Jia, cutting off your subsequent capital chain."
This is Wang Kaige's biggest worry about Su Wang. Once there is a problem in the capital chain of Su Wang's company, it will inevitably affect the development of the entire company.
And because Su Wang is an Internet company, the biggest problem for Internet companies and physical enterprises is that they have no real estate. Before going public, they rely on financing one after another.
For loans, some banks may agree, but now that the Ye family is fully committed, it will be difficult for Su Wang to get a loan. After all, the market value of an unlisted Internet company is fictitious, and the bank calls it "high risk."
Just send it away.
"I have calculated your current capital flow. Your current cash flow on the account is about 500 million. At the current rate of burning money, it can last for about three months. Now that the Ye family has taken action, it will be difficult for you to get it.
Subsequent financing has been completed.”
Su Wang pursed his lips. In the past two years, all financing for his companies has been handed over to Wang Kaige. Now that Wang Kaige has been transferred and the Ye family has taken action, he can't think of anything in the country.
Funded.
"As for foreign capital, I think it is difficult for you to get it. The Ye family's power abroad is also not bad. The most important thing is that foreign capital needs to go through a lot of reviews before it can enter the country. Far water may not necessarily save nearby fire.
You need to make plans early. In my estimation, LeTV is already in big trouble, and Mr. Jia may not be able to solve it."
Investment bankers are the most sensitive to funds. Su Wang believed in Wang Kaige's judgment. After pondering for a while, he asked: "What if I sell the shares of Kaixin.com and Fanfou.com?"
"Are you going to sell your shares in Kaixin.com and Fanfou.com?"
Wang Kaige was a little surprised. Kaixin.com and Fanfou.com were already listed on the market, and their development momentum was good. They had obviously not reached their peak yet. Selling them at this time would definitely be a loss.
"Yeah." Su Wang nodded and replied.
"There is no problem in selling. No matter how powerful the Ye family is, they cannot dominate the world with one hand. If you sell shares normally, the person you acquire will obviously be profitable. The Ye family cannot prevent other big families from making money."
"According to your current shares in Fanfou.com and Kaixin.com, they are probably worth more than 10 billion. How much are you prepared to sell?"
"Sell all of Kaixin.com, and only keep 5% of Fanfou.com, and sell the rest."
When Wang Kaige heard Su Wang's words, he also showed a thoughtful look on his face. After a while, he replied: "Okay, before I leave, I will help you find a company to take over."
"Brother Wang, we are so familiar with each other, so I won't say any more polite words. Thank you."
Su Wang was very grateful to Wang Kaige. As the head of Carlyle Investment Bank, Wang Kaige helped him a lot and did not seek personal gain from it.
"Okay, let's stop being stupid. It's because I admire you. If you really want to thank me, make the company bigger and become a large multinational group. When the time comes, you can recruit me and make you the financial director.
.”
Wang Kaige was only joking. Many heads of investment banks eventually became financial directors of some companies. There is even a semi-public rule in the circle. Whether a company is short of money depends on the company's financial performance.
Is the financial director from an investment bank?
If the financial director is from an investment bank, it means that the company is short of money and needs the financial director's connections to raise funds.
"There will be this opportunity."
Faced with Wang Kaige's joke, Su Wang responded with a serious expression. This made Wang Kaige stunned for a moment. After a while, he realized what he was saying and shook hands with Su Wang heavily.
…
LeTV is in more trouble than Su Wang imagined. However, in just three months, the Internet has been flooded with news that LeTV owes capital. Even banks have begun to collect debts from LeTV and have begun to freeze the shares and bank accounts pledged by LeTV.
In the past three months, Su Wang only met Jia Yueting briefly, but they talked on the phone several times. From the phone, Su Wang learned that Jia Yueting's current situation was very bad. The Ge family took full action and almost cut off Jia Yueting.
All financing channels.
For Jia Yueting, he has only one way now, which is to choose to sell his shares in LeTV, and it can only be sold at a low price. Only in this way will a big family that can compete with the Ge family be willing to take over.
Funding is LeTV's main problem now, but that doesn't mean there aren't other problems. Various departments are also investigating LeTV at the moment, and even dug up old accounts from a few years ago. There are more than a dozen administrative penalties alone, and that's not all.
Consider some of the issues under investigation.
There are some problems in running a business, especially during the development period, especially in the financial aspect. This is the default, but usually everyone turns a blind eye and no one will look for it.
trouble.
But now, with the push of the Ge family, LeTV’s past financial problems have been uncovered. This is no ordinary minor problem. Once something goes wrong, people will have to get in.
Of course, it is impossible for Jia Yueting to get in. If a company can reach this level, there are already ways to avoid it. At most, the financial person in charge will go in to take the blame. But for a company, if senior executives get in, it will definitely cause public dissatisfaction.
Fear, coupled with problems with the capital chain, will make employees unmotivated to work.
From the perspective of outsiders, it is only a matter of time before LeTV collapses.
LeTV is in trouble, and Suwang is also in trouble. The first one to encounter trouble is micropayment. Because it relies on Meituan and WeChat, micropayment has developed very quickly, but now the bank is proposing WeChat.
The payment does not have a reserve deposit with the central bank. If there is a problem with the user's funds, who will be responsible for the loss.
Of course, these banks are not targeting micropayments alone, including Alipay and Tenpay. According to their thinking, online payment platforms also have to pay a white margin, and this margin may be as high as tens of billions.
Fortunately, this time because Alibaba and Tencent are also targeted, it is tantamount to a struggle between the three parties and the banks. Even if the policy is implemented, it is estimated that it will take a long time.
In addition to micropayment, the second problem Su Wang encountered was from WeChat. WeChat currently has more than 300 million users, and it is already considered a national-level software.
But a few days ago, several law firms sued WeChat. The reason for the lawsuit was that WeChat provided shelter for many illegal businesses, such as WeChat's nearby people function and WeChat's shake function, which led to the proliferation of certain situations.
At the same time, telecommunications fraud is also prevalent. I hope the relevant departments can punish WeChat.
In just a few months, WeChat has received no less than 30 lawsuits. The first thing colleagues in the legal department ask when they meet every day is, have you accepted an order today?
Notice of prosecution!
However, this is not the biggest trouble. The biggest trouble comes from the three major operators.
China Telecom, China Mobile, and China Unicom all attacked WeChat at the same time.
