"Lao Ma has no money?" After Xia Zekai put down his phone, he thought about how Ma Yun had just asked him to borrow money on the phone, and he wanted to laugh inexplicably.
Then he remembered what Lao Ma had just told him. He seemed to have heard it from someone.
"Yi Ming? Or did Ru Bo tell me that?" Xia Zekai was a little distracted.
After coming to his senses, he called Sun Guoqiang and asked him to come to his office.
"Boss, you're looking for me." Sun Guoqiang said hello after coming in.
Xia Zekai stopped what he was doing, put down his pen, and said, "Old Sun, I have something to ask you..."
Sun Guoqiang said: "Boss, please tell me."
"How much money does our company have on its account?" Xia Zekai asked.
Sun Guoqiang didn't even think about it and said directly: "As of February, the available funds are more than 1.2 billion."
"Then if you remove the budget for the second and third phase factory construction, and then remove the daily expenses of our factory, how much available funds are left?" Xia Zekai asked another question.
Sun Guoqiang paused for a moment, frowned slightly and moved his lips, as if he was calculating orally. After almost another minute, he said: "Without affecting the normal operation of the company, we can use some of the normal daily expenses.
The funds are a little over 1 billion."
"That's quite a lot." Xia Zekai muttered.
Sun Guoqiang didn't want to discuss this issue. The company's cash flow was very abundant. He said one more thing: "Boss, do you need money? If the boss is worried that there will be problems in the construction of the second and third phases of the project, you can
There’s no need to worry, our daily sales returns are enough to cover normal expenses, more than enough.”
"Well, that's what happened." Xia Zekai thought for a while and then told Sun Guoqiang that Ma Yun asked him to borrow money.
"It's Alibaba's Jack Ma who has no money and is borrowing money from everywhere. He called me just now and needs a lot of money."
"How much?" Sun Guoqiang was a little surprised when he heard about Alibaba. The recent hype about the delisting of Alibaba's B2B business has been very popular on the Internet.
This was no secret, but he didn't expect that Alibaba didn't have the money to carry out this operation, so why did it do this?
Is it possible to speculate on the stock price?
Sun Guoqiang has seen Alibaba's listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Generally speaking, it is not very good. Alibaba's B2B stock price has fallen a bit recently.
He had previously thought that people from Alibaba were deliberately spreading the news, hoping to use the news to create hype and ultimately conduct market value management. However, he did not expect to hear other information from his boss today.
If it is said that way, then this news may be true?
Is Alibaba’s B2B business section really going to be delisted from Hong Kong City Exchange?
But who came up with such a stupid operation?
He knows that Alibaba B2B's stock price has risen again recently, which means that if Jack Ma wants to continue delisting it, he will have to spend more money than before.
Xia Zekai said: "It's almost necessary to borrow more than 10 billion."
"How much?" Sun Guoqiang wanted to leave, but even if he pressed Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. on the ground and rubbed it, he couldn't come up with so much money.
That’s 10 billion, not 100 yuan!
"Boss, there are too many, and we can't make it together even if we sell everything." Sun Guoqiang persuaded in the most simple and humble words.
"Well, Old Sun, you should go back first and I'll think about it later," Xia Zekai said.
Sun Guoqiang went out.
Xia Zekai realized a problem this time. He had always thought that there was a lot of money in the company's accounts, which was enough to ensure the company's normal operation without any problems.
But this time he realized that was not the case.
The money was lying there, earning only some current interest. Compared with his huge capital flow, it was simply too cheap and not worth mentioning at all.
Just like the financial products that banks sell to them, even those that combine long-term and short-term financial products can make more money than just earning interest.
This amount of money must be rolled over so that we can truly achieve 'money begets money'. Even if the company is not operating smoothly, it can still have sufficient financial support. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, it will be nothing more than a collapse.
In an instant.
When he thought of this, Xia Zekai felt a sense of urgency in his heart again.
When something goes wrong, even a 'Big Mac' like Jack Ma starts to borrow money everywhere. If Jingtong Development Co., Ltd. encounters trouble one day, won't he also have to go out and borrow money?
The question is, can he still borrow money when something goes wrong?
"If you don't have long-term worries, you must have immediate worries!" Xia Zekai stood up and walked to the glass window, looking at the quiet factory outside, thinking a lot in his mind.
When it was almost noon, he called Sun Guoqiang again and asked him to come to his office again.
Sun Guoqiang didn't know what the boss was going to do, but he didn't dare to delay. Knowing that there must be something urgent over there, he hurried over.
"Old Sun, I give you a task." Seeing Sun Guoqiang running up, his breathing a little short, Xia Zekai thought to himself, "Old Sun is really old."
Sun Guoqiang quickly said: "Boss, tell me!"
"Didn't you tell me before that banks have been chasing you for financial management? Now ask them what other short-term financial management and long-term financial management products have high capital-guaranteed returns. The money in our account really cannot just lie around.
Otherwise, we will suffer a big loss."
Sun Guoqiang: "..."
He didn't say anything. He didn't know what the boss had in mind before he came up with this idea, but it was easy to solve. He said, "Boss, I'm going to talk to the bank now. How much financial management should we buy first?"
"Take out half of the money in your account, half of which will be used to buy financial products with high long-term returns, and the rest will generally be purchased on a rolling basis to buy short-term financial products. Negotiate with them and ask them to show their utmost sincerity."
"In addition, you tell them that if they are not sincere, we will move the money to other banks." Xia Zekai said firmly: "For such a large deposit, there will always be a bank that will pay for it."
This is the truth. Sun Guoqiang also knows very well that many banks have contacted him and asked him to deposit money in their banks.
Some banks promised Sun Guoqiang that as long as he could help deposit money into their bank, their bank could even provide Sun Guoqiang's family members with a job placement in the bank.
In order to attract deposits, any tricks were used.
Mainly he has too many.
After hearing what Xia Zekai said, Sun Guoqiang understood. He said, "Boss, I understand. I will contact them right away."
"No, you don't need to take the initiative to contact me. Just go to the bank to do some business and wait for them to come to you." Xia Zekai also gave him a trick.
Sun Guoqiang knew these tricks very well.
When he finally left the house, he still hesitated and asked: "Boss, from Director Ma of Alibaba Group, are you not going to lend me any more money?"
"I won't lend it to you for the time being. There's too much difference there. What can we do if we lend him these hundreds of millions? I'll think of other ways." Xia Zekai said.
"Old Sun, you go and do this first. I'll come back to you if anything happens."
After Sun Guoqiang came out of Xia Zekai's office, he quickly forced himself to calm down.
Then I went to the driver's room and called a driver, and then I was going to go to the bank to do some business. I also wanted to have a good chat with the people at the bank.
He was also thinking that this time, he couldn't just buy financial products easily. He had to hold them back first, and when the bank became anxious and showed enough sincerity, he would not be too late to take action.
…
Xia Zekai thought about it again and again and called Liang Rubo.
Liang Rubo has recently been busy developing and updating the ‘Yi Chuxing’ driving and taxi-hailing modules so that users of their products can have a better product experience when using them again.
In addition, there are more and more fare platforms on the market recently. Due to its early intervention, Yitrip Pricing Platform is the only one, occupying more than 60% of the market. Dozens of other emerging driving platforms, large and small, occupy the market.
Less than 40%.
Even so, Liang Rubo was not satisfied.
He felt that Yitrip had intervened in this market more than half a year earlier than other driving platforms, and had just caught up with such good policies, but even so, it still only accounted for more than half of the market, and he was very dissatisfied.
Now, while Liang Rubo continues to increase investment in the driving market, he has also begun to promote the "Yi Chu" taxi-hailing service on a large scale.
As more and more private car users began to register as 'taxi-hailing' drivers on the platform and became 'registered drivers' on the platform, a wave of direct or indirect professional services began, making many people realize that by using their own private cars
You can also make more money and increase your income through this formal and simple way outside of your regular career.
There are more and more private car drivers joining this industry, even more than those who work as "substitute drivers".
Unexpectedly, before the market had reacted, the market share of "Yixing Taxi" followed the large platform "Yixing" and directly exceeded the market share of "Driving Service".
It truly corresponds to that sentence, if you plant flowers with intention, they will not bloom, but if you plant willows with no intention, they will create shade.
This result made Liang Rubo particularly happy.
However, as Yitrip's "driving platform" and "taxi-hailing" have become more popular in the market, another problem has also emerged.
The huge amount of funds raised in the last round is not enough to spend.
That was 682 million yuan. This result caught Liang Rubo off guard.
Recently, he has been thinking about when to notify other shareholders that he will start another round of Ren Piaomiao's fund-raising work.
And the amount of money raised is different from the last time. The funds needed this time are larger, otherwise it will not be enough to be consumed by the "Yi Travel" platform.
He had been thinking about these things in his mind, but he still had no results. The sound of a cell phone ringing interrupted his thoughts.
Liang Rubo took the phone and took a look. The call was from Xia Zekai. He didn't know what Brother Xia was calling at this time, but he still hurriedly answered the call.
