Chapter 415: The Tide Rises

In the era of the decline of print media, negative news is mainly concentrated online. However, as the major news media came to their senses, they had already registered their own accounts on the main social platforms of the Internet and published information.

"In the early morning of January 11, 2017, an Uber driver in Beijing caused a series of car accidents, resulting in three injuries and hospitalization. It is reported that the driver has been driving fatigue for 6 hours. β€”Economic Daily.

"Wild Uber drivers in the wilderness attempted to commit a robbery. The witty stewardess narrowly escaped. According to an interview with this newspaper, Uber's safety protection for passengers is useless. Drivers can register an account bypassing their registration mechanism. - Yicai.

"Internet travel, the sharing economy does bring convenience to our travel. However, we must be wary of the evils brought about by monopolies when the industry model changes drastically. In the era of taxis, drivers drive with credentials, which is safe and controllable. Why is there all kinds of negative news frequently in the era of Internet travel, and many of them are related to passenger safety, which is worth pondering. β€”Southern Metropolis Daily.

In addition to these big media reports on Uber-related negative news, there are also a large number of self-media, as well as studios without news qualifications, who publish opinions and articles on social media such as portals, meager media, Douyin, and Kuaishou.

Surprisingly, there is also the opposing view: the argument between the two sides in defense of Uber quickly formed a hot topic of public opinion. And this kind of hot news, the usual measure is a meager hot search.

It was on the list in two days.

...

...

At about 2 o'clock in the afternoon on the 14th day of the first lunar month, Han Wenguang, the new president of Phoenix Fund, arrived at Meituan's headquarters in Beijing by car.

Later, he met the mobile Internet tycoon in the office of Meituan CEO Wang Xing.

After Meituan merged with Dianping, it basically dominated the field of group buying and takeaway of catering.

Wang Xing is a little bald, a middle-aged man. He started his business in the Internet field very early. The launch of "Rice No" is hailed as China's Twitter. Of course, later on, if something happened to the meal, the user resources were sucked away by Sina's meager situation.

He walked out from behind the desk and beckoned Han Wenguang to sit down, "Mr. Han, please." Leaning on the desk, he said bluntly: "Mr. Han, regarding the investment request made by the Phoenix Fund, we decided to reject it after internal discussion. ”

The Phoenix Fund caused a bloody storm in the Internet field last year. Prestige. Therefore, when Han Wenguang came to see him, he still had to receive him.

Han Wenguang said tentatively: "Mr. Wang, do you think the sincerity of our Phoenix Fund's bid is not enough?"

Wang Xing said: "That's not it. The problem is that we don't have an urgent need for financing right now. In fact, Ali has a lot of shares in our Meituan. They should be intentional about making a move. If the Phoenix Fund wants, it can negotiate with them. ”

Han Wenguang heard that there was something wrong with this. Now in the business community across the country, who doesn't know that they Phoenix Fund and Ali have fallen out. He got up and said, "Okay, Mr. Wang, I know." I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate next time. ”

"Yes. Wang Xing shook hands with him, and sent him to the door of the office with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. After Han Wenguang left, his smile disappeared.

The reason for their internal discussion of rejecting the Phoenix Fund was simple: the Phoenix Fund was too strong, and it would be difficult to bring in such a shareholder.

However, the cooperation between Phoenix Pay and Meituan should still be carried out. It's not a shame to make money. Moreover, as a platform, they are the dominant party with the right to decide.

...

...

Han Wenguang left the headquarters of Meituan, and the strange emotions in his heart finally faded a little. He understood that he was despised. After thinking about it, I called Idaka.

When Jing Gao received the call, he was driving Chen Yujie to the high-speed rail station to pick up Li Mengwei, who was returning to the capital today.

Chen Yujie sat in the co-pilot, looking curiously at Jing Gao's hands-free mobile phone. The thick winter clothes could not hide her beautiful and bright face. She stayed at school during the Chinese New Year. She was accompanied to pick up her friend Li Mengwei.

"Then you go talk to Baidu. Take down the food delivery business and make our own local life content. ”

"Okay, Mr. Jing. ”

The sky was slightly overcast. From the inside of the Audi, the driveway is a little dark. Itaka held the steering wheel with one hand and explained, "Excuse me? ”

Chen Yujie said clearly: "It's okay." "There's a texture to her voice, it's crisp and pleasant, it's very nice. This was the first time she had seen Idaka at work. Previous contact with him as a lawyer does not count. And it's not counting to accompany her dad to eat with Jing Gao, that's a bit personal.

It seems that the person on the other side is afraid of him.

And she has never felt the majesty of that kind of "big guy" in Jing Gao. Although she learned about Idaka's status from open sources.

Idaka smiled slightly.

When the car arrived at the high-speed rail station, Jing Gao parked the car in the parking lot and waited at the exit with Chen Yujie for more than ten minutes. She had already seen Jing Gao and Chen Yujie.

"Vivi!" looked at the girl she missed in her heart standing in front of her, and Itaka opened her arms.

Li Mengwei left the suitcase in place, gave Chen Yujie a big hug, and said happily: "Yujie, I'm back." The two beautiful girls looked at the embarrassed Idaka next to them, and held each other's shoulders and giggled.

Travelers on the side of the road have come to see that the two young and beautiful girls are really a beautiful scenery.

Vivi did it on purpose. Jing Gao didn't get angry, and smiled to help Weiwei push the suitcase, "Let's go." ”

Talking and laughing all the way, I drove back to the courtyard. He asked the chef to prepare dinner early. The chef of the "Imperial Kitchen" Chinese restaurant under Idaka comes directly to his home to cook. A sumptuous dinner was delivered to the restaurant one after another.

Li Mengwei and Chen Yujie washed their hands and sat in the restaurant, chatting about the winter vacation.

Looking at the two girls who were intimate, Idaka thought to himself: When did your friendship become so good? As soon as I sat down to eat, Idaka's call came.

"Weiwei, Chen Yujie, you eat first. I'll answer the phone. "Jing Gao usually doesn't talk about work in front of Weiwei. It's not that she is taboo to interfere in the harem, but she doesn't want the pressure from the outside to be transmitted to her.

Itaka walked outside the restaurant and answered the phone. As Uber's negative news hit the hot search, Uber's engagement with investment banks in the United States has come to a standstill, and the pace of listing has slowed down. Uber's shareholders, big and small, have called Jinggao to inquire about the situation.

Of course, Idaka's phone call is not something that everyone can call. However, Uber and Didi have a large number of shareholders, about 60 in total, and this is not counting individual shareholders. There is always someone who can speak in front of Idaka.

For example, Mr. Wang of HNA, Wang Shishi of Vanke, Kang Wenfeng, an executive of CITIC Securities, Yun Hu of Poly Real Estate, and Wei Xueer of OCT Group. Vice President of CICC and CIC. Tencent's pony horse.

"Mr. Jing, there's not much of a problem on your side, right?" Of course, Brother Xiao Ma would not come to Jing Gao for Tencent's investment in Uber. Tencent's investment in the field of travel was to find a home for Tencent Map, and now it is to lay out the payment entrance. He made this call purely to talk to Idaka. Before, Jing Gao sold his face and let go of the head enterprise "Huayi" in the film and television industry.

Jing Gao just answered a phone call, and his throat was still a little dry. Let his tone be relaxed and say, "It's okay." Now the Internet water army is terrible. ”

Brother Xiaoma's Mandarin has an accent, and he said with a smile: "Someone should be messing with you." You haven't talked to Mr. Ren of the Galaxy Group yet?"

He knew that Jing Gao and Ma Yun had a falling out. But after Uber annexed Didi, the two sides were on different tracks, and the friction was more hidden.

Jing Gao didn't hide it from Brother Xiaoma, "After all, there will be a winner." ”

After a few small talks, Itaka hung up the phone and breathed the cold air of early spring in the hallway. In fact, this is estimated to be the suppression of the Galaxy Group. He hasn't offended anyone lately. Jing Gao shook his head gently and walked into the restaurant.

...

...

At this time, nearly an hour had passed since dinner time, and Li Mengwei and Chen Yujie looked at Jing Gao outside the glass window and kept making and answering the phone, and obviously felt that he seemed to be busier than last year.

Jing Gao walked into the restaurant, just looked at Li Mengwei and Chen Yujie at him, touched his stomach and sat at the table, and said strangely: "What's wrong?

Li Mengwei smiled softly, with tenderness, "No." Jing Xiaogao, come on!" she knew that Jing Gao was busy with work.

Chen Yujie said clearly: "Come on!"

Jing Gao was a little moved in his heart, and the feeling of tiredness and pressure transmitted by the Galaxy Group was suddenly swept away, and he nodded: "Hmm." I will. ”

...

...

Mainstream financial media reports, self-media follow-up. Uber's IPO process has come to a near halt. A wave is coming to Uber.

On the morning of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, in a five-story building called the "Feitian Building" in the third ring road of the capital, Ren He's nephew Wu Jie and Ren He's assistant Song Fa met in his office.

Ren He has long faded out of the daily operation of the Galaxy Group. Even the position of chairman is given to Watson. He himself bears the name of the chairman of "Feitian Oil", a company that operates a gas station.

Of course, it is actually for Ren He personally. It is similar to the "Future Strategy Room" of the Samsung Foundation. It can also be said to be his "Shang Shutai". The instructions issued here will be carried out by the headquarters of the Galaxy Group and its subsidiaries.

Ren He has been in poor health recently, there is no way, he walked around with his friends during the Chinese New Year this year, and drank some wine by the way. At present, he handed over the specific operations of the Phoenix Group to Song Fa and his nephew Wu Jie.

When Song Fa came in, Wu Jie was talking to Song Yan on the phone, "Song Yan, don't worry. I'm going to avenge you this time! When you come back from the United States, we'll have a drink together. ”

On the phone, Song Yangang, who was studying at New York University in the United States, told his friend that he had been determined to be "framed" by Jing Gao. At this time, he took a gentle breath, "Brother, thank you! Thank you! I am waiting for your good news." ”

Wu Jie hung up the phone, beckoned Song Fa to sit down, handed him a cigarette, sat on the sofa and smoked, and said, "Secretary Song, my second uncle said that he couldn't give Jinggao a beautiful woman, but I have an idea." can target Liao Rong of Phoenix Film and Television. It is said that she has a good time outside. ”

Women can't use men!

He knew very well that the deployment of the operation against the Phoenix Group was dominated by Song Fa. He mostly followed along. It's just that Song Fa is a very good person, and he takes the initiative to come to him every time to communicate. He's ready to knock on the scraps.

Song Fa hesitated for a moment, Liao Rong was Professor Zhao's ex-wife, but after thinking about it, he nodded, "Okay." ”
