Chapter 261: Let's Sell
Itaka didn't actually plan to stay for lunch. He saw with his own eyes that day that Professor Zhao said goodbye and left at the meal.
How can I say it? The diet of modern society is paying more and more attention to health preservation and health, especially the middle-aged and elderly rich people, who are more taboo. Do you really think that they eat "Arowana" like ordinary people? Genetically modified soybean oil, rapeseed oil, and blended oil are not eaten by these people.
When they eat as a family, they sometimes have to stir-fry their own vegetables. For example, when he had dinner with Wang Shishi in Shencheng, he knew that Wang Shishi did not eat pork.
In short, if you visit temporarily, it is quite troublesome to stay for dinner. Professor Zhao didn't stay for dinner, and Jing Gao didn't have any plans. But when it came to this meal, the hostess Zhang Ting invited, and Jing Gao didn't want to go directly.
What's more, Mr. Ren hasn't talked about the key part yet, should he add that part of LeTV's assets to it for acquisition? At least he doesn't particularly want to buy LeTV's assets.
"Let's go!" Ren He beckoned Jing Gao and walked out of the study first. Ren Zhi followed behind his father and greeted Zhang Ting politely, "Aunt Zhang." ”
Zhang Ting smiled and nodded, patting him on the back, "Go ahead." I made your favorite salted goose. Deliberately two steps behind, he talked to Jing Gao, and said kindly: "I'm older, let's call you Xiaojing." Are your feet alright?"
Zhang Ting was wearing a blue shirt and cyan trousers. With a height of 1.72 meters, tall and graceful. At the age of forty-three, he is very well maintained, and his skin is fair and moisturized. It has a mature, elegant and intellectual charm.
A very outstanding beautiful mature woman. This is normal. Generally speaking, the appearance and temperament of the second wife of the rich man are not too bad. At the moment, she is amiable, like a big sister next door.
Jing Gao replied, "Sister Zhang, it's okay. Only then did he suddenly realize that after nearly ten days, the bruises on Mr. Ren's face had disappeared. And he took a kick that was okay.
A "Sister Zhang" made Zhang Ting smile, and walked to the living room with Jing Gao, saying: "Lao Ren liked to practice martial arts when he was young, playing sandbags or something, and he didn't change it when he was old. It's not important to do it, you take more responsibility. ”
Jing Gao was embarrassed for a while. In fact, in that fight, Second Brother Ren lost. After all, he is a young man, he insists on exercising for half an hour to an hour every day, and he also plays football every week, and his strength and explosiveness are at the peak.
"Sister Zhang, you are too polite. Mr. Ren has just instructed me on business matters, and I have benefited a lot. ”
Zhang Ting gently pulled her hair, intellectual and elegant, and said with a smile: "It's good that you can talk." Lao Ren now has fewer and fewer friends. You are a young man that Professor Zhao is optimistic about, and you will come to the house more often in the future. ”
Jing Gao said politely: "Sister Zhang, I will." ”
He'll sort of get it. Second Brother Ren made an appointment for noon, and he had the intention of inviting him to dinner. At the end of the day, I'm sorry for the chat not long ago. However, Second Brother Ren is a bit arrogant, and he only does a lot of things without saying anything.
What a particular person!
This is also a bit of a custom in the capital. Jing Gao's friend Xie Dashao is a native of the capital, probably the custom here in the capital is that no matter what happens, in the end, you have to put on a game and have a meal, which can be regarded as a complete end.
The Ren family's villa has a total of three floors, but both Ren He and his family live on the first floor. The layout is in the style of a courtyard house. The study is considered the "East Wing". Exit the study, cross the hallway, and turn into a flower room, which is the dining room.
"You sit down first, and I'll serve the food. ”
After a while, Zhang Ting took the nanny to bring out the dishes one by one. It's hearty.
Idaka's favorite food is that plate of braised pork. There is no greasy, the fat is soft, the lean meat is firm, the entrance is soft, and the taste is good. While eating, I chatted with Ren He about the topic of LETV just now.
Seeing that Jing Gao was eating happily, Zhang Ting got up with a smile and transferred the braised pork to Jing Gao, "If you like to eat, eat more." Don't take a nap later, go to exercise and burn off the fat. ”
Ren He said to his wife, "I want to eat it too." "He's a spoiled wife.
Zhang Ting said funny: "You can just be greedy." If you want to eat meat, let's reduce the three highs. As if comfortingly, he turned a plate of cucumbers to Ren He and said, "You eat this." I made it for you. Not a single one is to be left. ”
Ren He laughed and talked about his daily life with his wife, revealing a sense of closeness.
Ren Zhi lowered his head and picked up the rice, and didn't look at the old couple's "show of affection".
Jing Gao is a little toothy. It's what it's like to be fed a handful of dog food. He kind of understood why the second brother Ren said that day: Since ancient times, there has been affection and hatred, and good dreams are the easiest to wake up.
This person reached old age, and Ren's second brother was fifty-one years old at the time, but his health was very poor, and his sideburns were white, which was about the same as that of an elderly man in his sixties. To have a woman to accompany and pamper is happiness! Where is there an idea to "take care" of more women?
If even my wife's heart is broken, I can't imagine that I will end up like an ancient dragon: before I die, I asked, why didn't they come to see me?
...
...
After finishing the meal, when Jing Gao walked out of the Ren family villa at the foot of Xiangshan, it was already half past one in the afternoon.
Zhang Ting's craftsmanship is very good, in addition to the braised pork, there are also a few meat dishes that are very good. Itaka likes it. On the contrary, Ren's father and son didn't eat it.
Ren He wanted to eat, but Zhang Ting controlled him and didn't let him eat. He was in very poor health, and all kinds of chronic diseases came to him. Ren Zhi is not very interested in meat, eat some salted goose and rice, and add some green vegetables.
At the dining table, the topic in the study was continued, and Ren Zhi sent Jing Gao on behalf of Ren's second brother. Ren Zhi is twenty-three years old this year, white and pure, with a kind of blandness like idle clouds and wild cranes, and he is polite to people. But in my heart, I am actually very proud.
The mountain road at the entrance of the villa is lined with trees on both sides, and the environment is elegant. Jing Gao's emotional intelligence was practiced early, and he shook hands with Ren Zhi with a smile and said goodbye, "Little Mr. Ren, stay here." ”
Ren Zhi said bluntly: "Mr. Jing, I sent it out, I have something to say to you." ”
Idaka was a little surprised and smiled. Waiting for Ren Zhi's next step.
Ren Zhi's expression was a little light, and he handed a "Huazi" to Jing Gao, smoking a cigarette: "Mr. Jing, Huang Bai and our family are world friends. She called me and said that there was a misunderstanding with you before, please forgive me. I'll be the east another day, and I'll invite you to have a glass of wine. ”
Jing Gao was stunned. Huang Bai has the impression that she is a very beautiful little girl, who acts as the head of the eldest sister in the bar and has a deep background. Xi Siyan can't afford to mess with a few. In addition to the $400 million invested in Uber by Cheng Yanxi and the circle behind him, and the mobile phone business that he just negotiated with Mr. Jia of LeTV yesterday, he didn't make any moves?
Jing Gao thought about it, didn't refute Ren Zhi's face, and said, "Okay." Wait until I'm done negotiating the LeEco business. ”
Ren Zhi said indispensably: "Yes." In addition, Mr. Jing, I have one more thing to tell you. ”
"Hmm. ”
Ren Zhi looked at Jing Gao and admonished: "Mr. Jing, my sister-in-law is very good to us juniors. I don't want her to be hurt in any way. You won't marry my sister-in-law, why do you persuade my father to agree to her divorce? Who can put up with her temper like my little uncle? At least she was in free love at the time, and she had a daughter. My sister-in-law is thirty years old. After the divorce, how will she live the rest of her life?"
Idaka's expression was a little stunned.
Did Ren Jiahui go back to Shencheng to handle the divorce? Because he clearly rejected Ren Jiahui and Xi Siyan's affection, he didn't contact them at all during this time. I don't know how she's doing. Listening to Ren Zhi's words, it seems that Second Brother Ren listened to his persuasion. But the result caused Ren Zhi to be dissatisfied with him.
Jing Gao took a puff of cigarette and did not answer Ren Zhi. There is no way to explain this. It seems that in other people's family affairs, try not to express opinions. Even if it's a very well-intentioned suggestion.
He originally came to ask Second Brother Ren about the acquisition of LeTV, and he had a good chat. It is estimated that Second Brother Ren's routine, Jabbs can't bear it. also witnessed the love of Second Brother Ren and Sister Zhang. But I didn't expect such a "turning point" before leaving: being blamed by Ren Zhi.
Seeing that Jing Gao was silent, Ren Zhi nodded and turned straight back to the house. The pride in his bones was revealed.
Jing Gao threw the cigarette butt on the ground, crushed it with his foot, and took the car back to the trade university. He has respect for Ren He who taught him from the bottom of his heart. To be a man, we must respect our teachers. But Ren Zhi's attitude is quite unpleasant.
Before, Sister Zhang also asked him to come and go often, he was indeed polite, but he was willing to associate with Second Brother Ren. This is normal. Everyone wants to be friends with cows. But now it seems that with Ren Zhi's attitude, he doesn't have to come again, and he has less to deal with the circle on Ren's side.
When it comes to making an unpleasant scene, Ren always favors his son or him, this is not to be asked! This is also human nature.
...
...
In the next few days, the focus of Jing Gao's life was to acquire LeTV-related businesses. On the morning of Friday, September 9, LeEco held a small signing ceremony to transfer its 28.9% stake in Coolpad Group to Phoenix Fund. The price is $396 million.
Cao Danqing attended the signing ceremony on behalf of Phoenix Fund. It was also her first appearance in the media. The president and vice president of Phoenix Fund are all beautiful women, especially the vice president is more beautiful, which has attracted many comments on the Internet.
Then, Jing Gao saw some unbearable comments on Weibo and scolded the head of the public relations department of the Phoenix Fund. Cao Danqing does not highlight her beauty in front of the camera, but highlights the capable and steady president style.
It's not hard to look bad in front of the camera. Black-rimmed glasses with dirt and scum, clothes and costumes are more stable, dark style, and so on. Of course, this is a small episode.
When facing questions from reporters at the press conference, Liang Ji, the person in charge of LeTV Zhixin, said: "Phoenix Fund is an extremely excellent capital in China, with strong strength, and there will be cooperation between LeTV and Phoenix Fund in the future." Please wait and see. ”
As soon as these words came out, the financial media exploded and asked for news everywhere. directly sent an email or called to request an interview with the Phoenix Fund, and all this part of the information was stopped on Qiao Shuang's side. The big media that can't be pushed away, so she will come forward to say a few words.
On Sunday morning, when Jing Gao and Li Mengwei were listening to songs and reading books together, Shu Xiaoya, the top host of Beijing TV, called Jing Gao, "Giggles, Mr. Jing, I found that after I knew you, you kept refreshing my cognition." ”
Jing Gao answered the phone in the study and said with a smile: "Teacher Shu, this is what I said, as if I am doing bad things every day." What's the matter?"
Shu Xiaoya smiled and said, "Where can you! I mean I am surprised and admired by your achievements in business." Yes, one of my classmates joined CCTV after graduation and was in charge of a financial program. He wants to interview you. Recently, the Phoenix Fund has been moving a lot. Are you going to enter the mobile phone industry?"
Coolpad is a Hong Kong-listed company, and holding nearly 30% of the shares means control in a listed company.
Jing Gao pondered for a moment and said, "Teacher Shu, wait for a while." It's not right now. ”
Shu Xiaoya was a little disappointed in her heart, but she still smiled enthusiastically: "Giggles, that's decided." I'll help him book an interview with you, a busy man. ”
Jing Gao groaned, "Okay. ”
After chatting, Idaka pondered for a moment and called Gibbs to give a formal answer.
...
...
Liang Fungi, as the person in charge of Leshi Zhixin, is mainly in charge of the large screen ecology. At the same time, he is also in charge of the mobile phone business. To his status, in fact, there is no midweek or weekend talk, white plus black, five plus two. Of course, the return on salary and equity is very generous.
On Sunday morning, the sun was shining.
Liang Yao finally took half a day out to walk around the park with his wife and prepare for a lunch meal. At this time, he suddenly received a call from Jia Youting personally, "Lao Liang, you come to the company now, and we will have a meeting together." ”
Liang Yan said in surprise: "Mr. Jia, what's wrong?"
Mr. Jia sighed, "Lao Liang, I told you before that I am talking about financing with Mr. Jing of Phoenix Fund. He gave me an answer. Condition... In short, you can't think of it. Let's have a meeting and talk about it. ”
"Okay, I'll be there right now. ”
The same scene happened to other LeEco executives.
The scale of this meeting is not small. It can be seen that in the face of the conditions opened by Jing Gao, Mr. Jia was undecided in his heart.
...
...
In the first half of 2016, LETV was holding high and fighting, with a trend of rapid expansion. At that time, the financial media Netease Finance made a report on LeTV's core executive team: Jia Youting's people.
Saying that LeTV's executives are like those described by the senior writers of the American "Business Week" in the "Ten Blue Bloods". For example, the ability and level of LeTV's senior management team.
Mr. Jia's closed-door executive meeting at noon on Sunday was full of people who had names and surnames in the financial news.
There are: Liang Fu, who is responsible for LETV Zhixin, Liu Hong, CEO of LETV, Zhang Zhao, CEO of LETV Pictures, Senior Vice President of LETV Holdings, Feng Xing, President of LETV Mobile, Gao Fei, President of LETV Video, LETV Cloud, Wu Yaya, head of the strategic project department, Lei Zhenjian of LETV Sports, and Ding Lei, head of LETV Super Auto.
In fact, LeEco's practice is to hold an inter-departmental coordination meeting at 2 p.m. on Sunday. The heads of each business line will report. It is usually open until 8 o'clock in the evening. Today's temporary closed-door meeting directly overrides the customary coordination meeting.
"The acquisition plan of Phoenix Fund is: LeTV Pictures + Huaer Film and Television totals 6 billion, and LeTV Cloud is valued at 200 million US dollars, which is about 1.4 billion yuan. It is planned to invest another 4 billion yuan in three installments into LETV Automobile. The first tranche is $100 million. We can announce that we have received an investment of 11.4 billion yuan from the Phoenix Fund. ”
At the end of the oval conference table, Jia Youting looked tired and briefly recounted the conditions offered by the Phoenix Fund. When he received a call from Jing Gao in the morning, he was scolding his mother in his stomach. He got Jing Gao done in the bar, but when he turned around, the kid changed his mind. It's really hard.
Zhang Zhao said directly: "He's dreaming, right? LeTV Pictures only gives a valuation of more than 4 billion? When the news spreads, I'm afraid that those star shareholders will scold him to death." ”
Wu Yaya said: "Mr. Jia, 200 million US dollars to buy LeTV Cloud? How is this possible? I'm afraid he didn't wake up, right?"
Ding Lei, the person in charge of LeTV Super Auto, said: "Mr. Jia, our car project is running very well. We are talking about financing with various limelights. Talks are about to close about $1 billion in Series A financing. What is it for him to invest $100 million?
"Yes. ”
It's a precise word. ”
Mr. Jia took a look at his henchman Leshizhixin. Liang Yao knocked on the table, attracting everyone's attention, and said, "Everyone, LeEco is short of money!"
Immediately, someone said: "Lao Liang, you can't sell your assets if you lack money." ”
Many of you are minority shareholders in LeEco's businesses. For example, LeTV Pictures, the shares held by LeTV Holdings are about 51%. The person in charge, Zhang Zhao, has a 3.83% stake.
Zhang Zhao retorted: "Lao Liang, you hear clearly, the Phoenix Fund is valuing LeTV Pictures and Huaer Film and Television as a whole by 6 billion. The money that LeEco really got in its hands is estimated to be less than about 2.5 billion. Moreover, there is no way to account for other shareholders. For example, I absolutely disagree with the valuation of LeTV Pictures of less than 5 billion. ”
"Mr. Jia, this price is not good. The Phoenix Fund disagrees and talks to someone else. ”
Jayoting, dressed in a black T-shirt, sat silently at the end of the oval conference table. He has a background in accounting and is very sensitive to numbers. LeTV Pictures is led by him, how much money has been invested in total? 51% of the equity, 427 million yuan.
If it can sell 2.5 billion, it won't be too much of a loss! Why is the announcement issued on May 6 that LeTV plans to acquire LeTV Pictures, but it has not yet been completed on September 11? Because the current environment of the film and television market is not good!
Moreover, LeTV Pictures has continued to lose money in 14 and 15 years, accumulating nearly 1 billion. This year, 1.3 billion more cash financing is needed to continue making films.
On the financial statements, the assets of LeTV Pictures are 2.957 billion. The Phoenix Fund gave a price of less than 5 billion, which is still a premium.
Of course, the high pressure price of the well is really ruthless! It's a price that makes him very uncomfortable, and he wants to accept it and reject it. Moreover, Jing Gao is interested in LETV super cars, but he adopts the method of investment in batches.
The person behind Jing Gao who came up with the idea is not simple.
As Jayoting pondered, a group of executives argued with each other. There are still some people who are inclined to sell LeTV Pictures. Although Coolpad mobile phones earned about $400 million, temporarily relieving financial pressure, LeEco is still short of money.
Huaer Film and Television, the equity is in the hands of LeTV, and it can be said in a word. The price fluctuates within the normal range, which is basically undisputed.
And the price controversy over LeTV Cloud has been there. $1.08 billion in assets sold for $200 million, and no one is reconciled. But what is going on with LeTV Cloud, I know it in my heart.
Liu Hong, CEO of LETV, said: "Mr. Jia, the control of LETV Cloud must be in our hands. This is a core part of our LETV ecosystem. I suggest removing this piece. The financing we publicize to the outside world can add the $400 million on the mobile phone side. The numbers look just as good. ”
The meeting was open until six o'clock in the evening, and Jia Youting clapped his hands and said, "Sell it!"
