Chapter 467: Infighting
Ling Chuqing learned that the news of Qiao Songbai's arrest on Qiongdao was ten days later. In the early morning of Sunday, April 16, Itaka ate breakfast in the Jasmine Lounge of the Peace Hotel while browsing the news on his phone.
Cheng Yu, a thick-lipped assistant with a big mouth, accompanied Jing Gao for breakfast, and a pair of close-fitting aqua blue jeans outlined her beautiful figure: long legs and abundant hoarding. It attracted the attention of many people in the restaurant.
The magic capital is originally an international metropolis, and many foreign investors use their headquarters or offices here. The Peace Hotel is famous, and the density of foreigners here is slightly higher. Regardless of Chinese and foreign, the aesthetics of the body are basically the same.
Cheng Yu's figure of 94 points is quite visually impactful. Moreover, she is only twenty-five years old this year, which is the right age for youth.
Sitting next to her for dinner, Idaka was naturally the object of envy.
Itaka has always been relatively low-key, and he rarely appears in the media, and even when he does, he wears a suit and leather shoes, wearing a mature and stable black-rimmed glasses, which is very different from his usual image. Passers-by would hardly recognize him.
The waiter came over and poured the milk and brought a newspaper to Cheng Yu.
Idaka rested here last night. Tomson Golf Villa 11 is empty. Guan Yujia was busy contacting Dr. Zhang Rujing and coordinating matters on the Jinling side. Liu Sumei flew back to the capital freely. She gave the team a few days off. Some time ago, Jiang Shangyi was invited to work in the mainland, which consumed a lot of her time and energy.
While eating breakfast, Cheng Yu took out his mobile phone to look at it, and reported in a low voice: "Mr. Jing, Han Wenguang has arrived." ”
"Hmm. Tell them to wait in the presidential suite first. "Itaka drank milk, noodles, and fried eggs.
...
...
Han Wenguang left his assistant outside the Peace Hotel, took the briefcase, and walked into the Peace Hotel alone.
With creamy Italian marble floors and bronze openwork chandeliers, the lobby is luxurious and elegant.
As the president of the Phoenix Fund, he was a middle-level state-owned enterprise before, and he can still afford to live in the Peace Hotel. He is not unfamiliar with such scenes. But his heart was full of apprehension at this time.
is in the same Phoenix Fund with Zuo Hao, and his news is not closed.
He reported to Mr. Jing during the group's major adjustment a year ago, and took the opportunity to become the person in charge of the Phoenix Fund, and then compressed Zuo Hao's terms of reference when adjusting the division of labor. He became a veritable first.
However, recently Zuo Hao sued him in front of Mr. Jing. The reason is simple: the Phoenix Fund led by him missed the financing of the emerging e-commerce company "Pinduoduo".
With the current hostility between Phoenix Group and Alibaba, any e-commerce company in China that can challenge Taobao and Tmall should provide support and take the funds to get involved.
Pinduoduo was founded in 2015 and raised Series B financing in July 2016. IDG, US$110 million invested by Gaorong Capital, New Horizon Capital, Tencent Industry Win-Win Fund, and Cathay Fund.
Over the years, all kinds of e-commerce have sprung up. Internet empowerment is a buzzword. But the only one who can really say that it can play two tricks with Taobao and Tmall is JD.com. Other categories, such as Suning Tesco, NetEase Yanxuan, and the acquired Tencent micro-business, cannot pose a threat to Alibaba's e-commerce business.
Therefore, after he took charge of the Phoenix Fund in February this year, he denied the investment in Pinduoduo proposed by Zuo Hao and others. This node then enters Pinduoduo and pays hundreds of millions of dollars to get a limited number of shares, which has a high risk.
It's all in minutes. Mr. Jing knew it when he checked it.
The problem is that Pinduoduo has been growing extremely rapidly lately. The number of APP downloads has long been at the top of the major mobile app stores.
He clearly made a mistake in his work.
Han Wenguang secretly scolded Zuo Hao in his heart for being "not a son of man" and walked into the elevator. Meet his unknown fate.
...
...
At 8:20 a.m., Zuo Hao, vice president of the Phoenix Fund, appeared in the lobby of the Peace Hotel on time. He called Dong Youwei, who had arranged to meet him, and later a hotel housekeeper came to take him to the presidential suite on the 10th floor.
As soon as I entered the door, I was startled.
In the living room sofa of the suite, his opponent Han Wenguang is sitting.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and they were surprised at the same time. But in the end, they were all adults, and then they returned to normal. Obviously, this is the arrangement of the well president, the beating of them.
Dong Youwei looked at the reactions of the two, and was amused in his heart, his face was still the taciturn "Assistant Dong", and he got up and said, "Sit down for a while, and I'll report to Mr. Jing." ”
Jing Gao will be in the study room of the suite to deal with official business with Cheng Yu and Nie Yunxi. The study is quiet and brightly lit. Because of the two beauties, it adds a lot of color. A faint aroma surrounds.
Of course, Jing Gao has always been very self-controlled and serious at work, and he will not engage in any drama of playing two assistants in the study.
Dong Youwei promoted the door of the study, waited for a while, saw Jing Gao looking over, and said, "Mr. Jing, Han Wenguang, and Zuo Hao have both arrived." ”
"Let's go!"
Jing Gao greeted and led the three of them out to the large living room.
Han Wenguang and Zuo Hao hurriedly stood up and said with a little restraint: "Mr. Jing..." Although the two of them joined the company when the Phoenix Group was founded, they were still afraid of Jing Gao.
Jing Gao made a gesture, sat down on the sofa, and said straight to the point: "Tell me, what is the situation of the two of you?"
Han Wenguang and Zuo Hao's hearts jumped. What Mr. Jing meant by this was not to ask about the specific investment of Pinduoduo, but to directly ask about the "infighting" between the two of them.
Nie Yunxi stood by the window of the living room, leaning slightly on the table in front of the window, with a demeanor like a willow, and sipping tea slowly. Looking at Jing Gao's words, cold sweat broke out on his forehead when he asked the two CEOs who were calling for wind and rain in the venture capital world. In other words, this really reflects the power of Jing Gao!
Han Wenguang thought about it and didn't squeak. First of all, he had a performance problem, which made Mr. Jing doubt whether he could take charge of a giant venture capital company. There was no point in his argument at this point. Zuo Hao, who provoked the fight, was a negative score in Mr. Jing.
Zuo Hao gritted his teeth in his heart and said, "Mr. Jing, Han and I always have differences in work styles. He was too conservative when he was at the helm of the Phoenix Fund, and the venture capital industry is inherently high-risk and high-return, relying on vision! It is useless to carry money in your pocket.
Of course, I have my shortcomings. I came from a venture capital background. When I see a project that feels a little good, I want to invest in it. Cast your net wide and catch more fish.
I hope that I can go one step further and help Phoenix Fund maintain its current reputation in the industry. ”
This is a more sincere statement. Jing Gao laughed and said, "Zuo Hao, you go outside and wait first, and I'll talk to Lao Han first." ”
Zuo Hao was stunned for a moment, and walked out of the suite full of apprehension.
