Didi Chuxing's press conference held at 19:00 on the evening of October 17 has already begun to push various messages on the Internet at around 20:00.

The three major portals, headlines, various post bars, and live broadcast rooms, the popularity of the event is rising rapidly. The most direct indicator is: Didi reported Uber, and this news was topped by Sina's meager hot search in less than an hour.

Is there really no one behind all this?

Ren Zhi sat alone in the viewing living room on the third floor of the villa, watching the night permeate the heavens and the earth, holding a cup of tea in one hand and a mobile phone in the other. Looking at the time, quit meager and made a call to my father.

He was very aware of his father's schedule.

The phone will be answered shortly. "Dad, I'll report to you. I just had a meeting with Mr. Cai from Ali in the afternoon, and I need your authorization..."

Ren Hegang took his beloved dog Rhubarb to Xiangshan for a walk and came back, still panting slightly, and took the mobile phone handed by his wife Zhang Ting, "Okay, you say..."

More than an hour later, Ren He hung up the phone and sat in the study of the courtyard-style villa, groaning slightly. He also took a shower in the middle, it was cold at the foot of the mountain, and he was sweating after running, so he couldn't delay too long. In the middle, Zhang Ting and Ren Zhi chatted for a while.

Ren He pondered for a while, and called Song Fa, an assistant who lived in the annex of the villa, and asked him to come over.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Song Fa, who had already slept, quickly rushed over, "Mr. Ren, are you looking for me?" His assistant can be called the chief manager of the inner house, and he is above 10,000 people under one person. The money is not less, but it is also really hard.

Of course, after a few more years, Mr. Ren will let him out to serve as an executive, just like his predecessor and old senior, and become a working emperor with an annual salary of more than 100 million.

Ren He sat in the soft chair in the study and said, "I have heard of the conflict between Ali and the Phoenix Fund recently, right? Since you want to share the cake with Ali, you have to do your best. You dock with Xiaozhi and help him run errands..."

"Okay, Mr. Ren. Song Fa took out a notebook from the inside pocket of his suit jacket and took a pen to record Ren He's instructions.

Zhang Ting is dressed in a dark red autumn dress, tall and graceful, a very outstanding beautiful mature woman. poured a cup of tea for Song Fa, and stood by the bookcase in the study, listening to Ren He's arrangement of how to suppress Jinggao's film and television industry.

The task given to Ren Zhi by Cai Congxin is described in tactical language as "side attack". Online car-hailing is the main battlefield, but Ali and Galaxy Group want to put pressure on Jing Gao in all directions. Jinggao is currently involved in the following fields: textiles, real estate, banking, venture capital, film and television.

On the one hand, it is to put huge pressure on Jing Gao and affect his will to continue to fight. On the one hand, it involves some of his funds. Even the worst-case scenario is that the well has a huge cash flow. But what needs to be done still has to be done.

As a business tycoon, Ren He can see at a glance that in addition to the online car-hailing business, several other industries are most likely to be suppressed by the Galaxy Group: film and television.

He just wanted to "block" Jinggao and relieve his anger. Kindness is regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs. He was extremely upset when he was rejected by Idaka on the phone, and so far, Idaka has not explained to him through any channels.

(Actually, Jing Gao has already talked to An Xiaoqian.) But Ren He was angry, and An Xiaoqian didn't dare to say it at this time. It's going to catch fire. ）

Zhang Ting wanted to speak and stopped. She knows the inside story. Sister-in-law Ren Jiahui has already told her. The reason why Jing Gao refused her husband's help was that he fell out with Ren Zhi and was afraid of the current situation. There is no doubt that the prediction of the well height is very accurate:

Between an admiring junior and a son. Her husband chose to help his son.

It's human nature. But she always felt in her heart that it was actually her husband who was quite sorry for Idaka. She knows the merits.

But from Ren Zhi's point of view, it is the sister-in-law who has loved him since he was a child, and of course this is to take revenge.

But the question is, does Jing Gao really have that kind of relationship with Jiahui? Ren Zhi is young and vigorous!

Song sent out. Ren He took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and when he turned around and saw that his wife was still in the study, he couldn't help but say, "Don't you usually like to listen to these business things the most?"

Zhang Ting shook her head, walked over, gently held Ren He's hand, her beautiful eyes flashed lightly, and she changed her words when she came to her mouth: "It sounds related to Xiaojing, so I listened to two more sentences." "If she is Ren Zhi's biological mother, she wants to persuade her husband now not to do such a desperate thing. Let Ali and Phoenix Dou go. But the problem is, she's a stepmother. I can't say that.

Ren He snorted and said proudly: "The young man Xiaojing has an early hair, and he is very arrogant in his heart. But Lao Tzu is also a temperamental person!"

...

...

After the heat on the Internet quarreled, Jing Gao was no longer meager. Some of the words are particularly ugly. It was the first time he had endured such an attack by public opinion.

And the bad news seems to be coming one by one. In addition to the public opinion on the Internet that is unfavorable to him and the Phoenix Fund, the companies under his name have more or less popped up one problem after another. The most serious problem is the film and television business.

Zhang Zhao, the former CEO of LeTV Pictures, jumped out again, complained about various grievances, broke the news, and filed a lawsuit. To sue Phoenix Film and Television. The noise is very fierce.

At the same time: Haotian Pictures, Hu Zhi Media, DreamWorks, Huayi and other film and television giants jointly announced a boycott of Phoenix Film and Television. Because Phoenix Film and Television does not respect the production staff of the film and television industry.

Before, Jing Gao asked Liao Rong to rectify Phoenix Film and Television, and fired a large number of people who engaged in unspoken rules in Phoenix Film and Television, offending many people in the film and television industry. Now this contradiction has erupted in a concentrated manner.

Xia Shang Real Estate had a little problem, but was blocked back by Ning Xunchang's friends. The provincial-level boys are still very energetic.

Xia Shang Textile is a large taxpayer and a large employer, and it is as stable as Mount Tai.

The Xia Shang Cultural Tourism Company, which was adapted from the Zhao Group, was in charge of Shen Jinyuan, and the cultural tourism business was blocked by Ali. Basically, there were no orders on the Internet and they were taken off the shelves. Ctrip's largest shareholder is Baidu, but it is a strategic partner with Alibaba.

It can be seen from this that Baidu, which can still be called one of the three giants of the Internet in 2016, as a shareholder of Uber, is only a shareholder and does not intend to get involved in the confrontation between Ali and Phoenix.

As a giant of the Internet, Ali basically sealed the cultural tourism business on the Internet with a wave of the flag. Nowadays, there are very few people who go to the store to sign up for tours. This almost put Xia Shangwen in a desperate situation.

The hotel industry is also in trouble. The newly formed Falou Hotel Group now manages only one four-star hotel in Qiongdao: the Purple Peak Hotel. Zifeng Hotel has recently seen a sharp increase in complaints and has been ordered by the relevant departments to suspend business for rectification.

At the same time, Alibaba semi-publicly announced that it would ban companies under the Phoenix Fund from using Alipay.

The so-called "semi-public" is a message posted by Alibaba's public relations head in the WeChat circle of friends criticizing the Phoenix Fund as a notice, and then Uber will not be able to use Alipay.

On October 31, Itaka flew to the magic capital with two assistants. Guan Guan stayed in the capital and did not accompany him to the magic capital. The two assistants designated by Guan Guan to accompany him to the magic capital, one is named Dong Youwei, thirty-two years old, with glasses, narrow face and white face, graduated from a prestigious school, and has outstanding ability.

One is named Jiang Zi, who is in charge of finance. At the age of thirty-six, she can be regarded as a mature and charming beauty. Plump waist, plump figure. Wearing an autumn jacket, inside is a lilac knitted cardigan, slightly revealing the snow-white skin under the neckline, and the charm between the eyebrows and eyes.

This is the kind of mature beauty who can make a teenager waste tissues and dreams.

The well high plane is the afternoon point. Xu got off the plane at three o'clock and walked in the bright passage of the airport hall, Jiang Zi answered a few phone calls, took two steps forward and reported: "Mr. Jing, there is news from the public relations department, and he refuses to delete the post and control the comment. The rationale is to guarantee freedom of expression. Mr. Guan found that Alibaba's wholly-owned subsidiary, AliWBInvestmentsHoldingLimited, holds a meager 30% stake and has 15.8% voting rights. ”

Itaka nodded, wearing a long Armani autumn suit, did not speak, and silently dragged the suitcase forward.

Jiang Zi adhered to his duty, didn't say anything, stepped on high heels, and followed the boss with a slight trembling mouth. sighed inwardly. The recent pressure on the Phoenix Fund, as a member of the secretarial team, is certainly aware. I have to say that the reason for meager is very disgusting.

Together with the two bodyguards who accompanied them, the five of them went all the way to the outside of the airport. Qiao Shuangzao led Liu Zhen and other Uber executives to wait outside the airport.

"Mr. Jing, good afternoon. ”

"Mr. Jing, hello. ”

Itaka shook hands with them one by one and sat in the elongated Lincoln. Xiao Qiao and Jing Gao met Yu Weimo, and they were deeply trusted, so they sat in the car, ignored Dong Youwei and Jiang Zi, and reviewed Jing Gao in person: "Mr. Jing, I'm sorry, I didn't do a good job in Uber's financing." ”

The financing line of less than 800 million US dollars is based on the good foundation laid by Mr. Jing on the "Financial Wednesday". She really couldn't explain it to Mr. Jing. It is said that Guan Guan is still receiving emails from Uber executives questioning her ability.

Jing Gao waved his hand and said softly: "Xiao Qiao, this has nothing to do with you." It's a good result. Hongbin (China): Those venture capitalists are all human spirits!"

He knows very well who ended up investing in Uber: Zhou Mingyang, Tan Qin, Chen Ziyuan, Ouyang Wan, Ouyu Financial, Evergrande, etc.

Some of the tycoons who do business are still very concerned about commercial credit. Zhou Mingyang and Tan Qin agreed to invest on the same day, but they still invested $50 million and $30 million respectively under such circumstances.

And this time, before he went to Shencheng, he changed to the magic capital, in addition to unifying his thoughts with Uber's executives, he must first settle inside! In addition, he also had to attend a dinner party for Zhou Mingyang.

Of course, this list of investments actually surprised him by some people.

Qiao Shuang breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time was very ashamed, "Mr. Jing, thank you." ”

She, a 25-year-old woman, serves as the legal person and president of the Phoenix Fund, and is based in the $28 billion market value of Uber as chairman, and she is under too much pressure and criticism. And when it comes to financing, she just hasn't done it well.

Jing Gao smiled and said gently: "Let's not talk about this between us." ”

Qiao Shuang pursed her lips, and finally couldn't help asking, "Mr. Jing, can we win?"

Ali and Didi saw this confrontation as war. As the chairman of Uber, of course, she has heard of it, and she has this awareness.

If Phoenix loses, then she will definitely leave and lose her power and status in the new travel company. The Phoenix Fund spent more than $10 billion and ended up being a financial investor and suffered heavy losses.

What's more, after this failure, Mr. Jing will quickly lose his appeal in China's business circles, fall to a low point, and be not trusted by his partners. And this trough may require several times the effort of the well to get out.

Jing Gao smiled lightly, turned his head to look at Qiao Shuang in the car seat next to him, his eyes were warm, "Xiao Qiao, difficulties will eventually pass." ”

Qiao Shuang nodded vigorously, and hope rose in her heart for no reason!

...

...

Jing Gao went directly to the company in the afternoon and held a meeting with Liu Zhen, Zhang Yanqi, Wang Ying, Luo Gang and others.

Engage in team building in the evening. Hosted a banquet at the Shangri-La Hotel, where Uber staff at the Modu headquarters gave speeches to boost their morale.

On the morning of the next day, Jing Gao took his assistant Jiang Zi and bodyguard Chen Aiyang to the clubhouse of Tomson Golf to meet Zhou Mingyang, chairman of Mingyuan Group, and Guo Guangchang, the boss of Fosun. This is a long-scheduled itinerary.

On the one hand, at the end of September, Jing Gao made an appointment with Zhou Mingyang on the "Financial Wednesday". And Zhou Mingyang was asked by Mr. Guo. He is a sociable person.

As we all know, in the rivers and lakes, Wanda's Mr. Wang and Ali's Mr. Ma have not had a very harmonious relationship. And Guo Guangchang is one of the few people who can talk to the two at the same time.

On the other hand, Jing Gao came over today to thank Zhou Mingyang for his investment in Uber.

Ali banned Uber from Alipay, sending a clear signal. Many businessmen and bosses in China have begun to wait and see. Don't look at Jing Gao at the end of September is still on the beach, at the end of October, he came to the magic capital is equivalent to a star.

After all, how to choose in the confrontation between Ali and Phoenix, this is a good choice question. At the very least, you must remain neutral! Don't mix with the well manager of the Phoenix Fund.

Tomson Golf is a well-known villa in the 90s. There is a golf course here. There is a villa here in Idaka. He and Guan Guan have left traces of love in this villa. Of course, as of 2016, many villa areas in the magic capital surpassed Tomson Golf.

The clubhouse of Tomson Golf is a small western-style building with a four-story blue and white appearance, which is not high, but the small western-style building and the annex building are lined up horizontally, and the area is not small. Dedicated to the owners here and the members of the golf club.

Balmy autumn day. Zhou Mingyang arranged the place to sit in a banquet hall with an open-air view on the third floor of the clubhouse.

"Mr. Jing, welcome. The waiter in the club led Jing Gao over, and Zhou Mingyang was drinking sour plum juice and got up to shake hands with Jing Gao. Then introduce a half-bald and emaciated middle-aged man next to him, "This is Mr. Guo of Fosun." ”

Jing Gao smiled and shook hands with Guo Guangchang, "Mr. Guo, hello!"

At present, Fosun Group is conquering cities at home and abroad, and the scenery is unlimited. Mr. Guo is known as "Guo Feite". This is more genuine than Zhao Feite. Guo is always a real master of capital operation.

"Mr. Jing, young and promising!" Guo Guangchang's height was not as high as Jing Gao, shook hands, and invited Jing Gao to sit down with a smile. Before Jing Gao came, he also chatted with Zhou Mingyang about Jing Gao.

To tell the truth, Zhou Mingyang's $50 million investment was somewhat reluctant.

Although it is invested, it will eventually be converted into revenue when Didi and Uber merge. However, if it is just a financial investment, why does he invest in this? He is a CEO of a Fortune 500 private enterprise, and he still lacks investment channels?

Therefore, Guo Guangchang is simply seeing Jing Gao today.

There are umbrellas on the open-air terrace to shade the morning sun. The autumn breeze from the woods, ponds, and meadows on the golf course is very pleasant.

Greetings, the topic started with football. Fosun has invested in Wolves in the Premier League, relying on the economic tycoon Mendes to buy players, and is now building a competitive football club with traces of the Portuguese gang.

"I've heard that Mr. Jing likes to play football. Why don't you invest in a team to have fun? If a Chinese football club doesn't play, can you buy a foreign club? Suning won't buy Inter Milan? It's a very good commercial chess move. ”

Jing Gao drank Coke and said: "Mr. Guo, I bought a team in League One, Leeds United, known as the Young Praetorian Guard. Maybe I can have a chance to play against Wolves in the future. When the time comes, I will invite Mr. Guo to drink red wine. ”

Guo Guangchang was immediately a little interested in chatting, he was not a very pure fan, but he did watch football games, and praised: "Mr. Jing, you are very knowledgeable! The tradition of the English league is that the coaches will have a drink after the game." With your financial resources, as long as you are willing to invest, you can definitely get Leeds United promoted to the Premier League. We'll be treated to whoever wins. ”

Itaka smiled and nodded, "Okay." ”

Zhou Mingyang interjected, "It turns out that Zhaoshi Group is also the head of Jing?" he checked it on the Internet. French fashion giant Zhaoshi Group bought League One powerhouse Leeds United in mid-October.

It's no news that fashion giants have made their foray into football. And this further confirms a certain rumor on the rivers and lakes! Jing Gao is the agent of certain overseas funds in China.

Idaka said: "Yes. ”

Since the topic is here, Guo Guangchang has a good sense of Jing Gao, after all, there are not many people who can invest in the Premier League together. According to Fosun's investment style, after making a target, it will continue to transfer equity, and finally get rid of it smoothly and make a large profit.

Obviously, Igao would be a potential buyer. Before that, of course, he had to sell Leeds United. Otherwise, it will not pass the FA's review.

"Mr. Jing, let's talk about it here. I'll just say it bluntly! Recently, there has been a lot of trouble between the Phoenix Fund and Alibaba. I have a good personal relationship with Mr. Ma. Do you want me to make peace with you in the middle? No matter what kind of business it is, you can sit down and talk. ”

Jing Gao smiled and shook the glass straight cup containing Coke, "Mr. Guo, thank you." I'll talk about that later. ”

The competition between him and Ali is no longer just a business. And a lot of people are involved. For example: Ren River, Ren Zhi. There are many battlefields involved! He can't make peace. There has to be a result!

There is no choice but to win.

Zhou Mingyang hurriedly played a round and changed the topic with a smile, "Mr. Jing, you came to the Demon Capital this time to seek financing?"

Jing Gao's expression was calm, first thanked Zhou Mingyang for his support, and then replied affirmatively: "Yes." ”

The party chatted for more than an hour, and Idaka said goodbye and left.

Zhou Mingyang and Guo Guangchang are old friends, they are here this morning and noon, and they did not leave, waiting for Jinggao's back to disappear at the door of the "No. 1 Hall" on the third floor, Zhou Mingyang sat on the sofa on the balcony and asked with a smile: "How?"

He boasted about Jing Gao in a phone call to Guo Guangchang at the end of September.

Guo Guangchang drank saliva and said, "It's a pretty good young man." Advance and retreat with evidence, and speak appropriately. It's just a pity...", shaking his head.

He has a very good personal relationship with Ma Yun. How good is it? Both of them are Zhejiang businessmen, he is the president of the magic capital Zhejiang businessmen, he speaks at the top, and Ma Yun will whistle at the bottom.

Therefore, he is very clear about Ma Yun's strength. Do you think Ma Yun can only mobilize the funds of the Ali department? As the president of the Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce, Ma Yun can mobilize the funds and resources of Zhejiang businessmen!

He is not optimistic that the Phoenix Fund of Idaka can win in this all-out confrontation. And once it failed, the Phoenix Foundation signed a very humiliating treaty. Ali's No. 2 person, Cai Congxin, is from a financial background, and he is very good at opening conditions!

Zhou Mingyang nodded lightly. He is also not optimistic about the Phoenix Fund.

...

...

Jing Gao didn't know Guo Guangchang and Zhou Mingyang's evaluation and opinions on him. This kind of stuff doesn't work. He said that he came to the magic capital to raise money, but in fact it was not. In the afternoon of the same day, he quietly came to the Demon Capital Airport with his assistant and bodyguards, preparing to go to Shencheng.

Ali used a lot of resources, even political resources. And he stayed in the capital, and the demons were all right. The moat he built for Uber that day was in the deep city!

In addition, Shenzhen City is also close to Hong Kong Island, the financial center. He will command the campaign there.

There is no choice but to win.

He won't take half a step back.

Men travel in the rivers and lakes, and they are fierce. Don't ask for a city, but for a murderous sword!
