Chapter 310: Dark Clouds Dominate
"Haha!" Ren Zhi's categorical attitude made Ren Chao very excited, slapped the table again and again, raised the beer bottle and said: "It's a big deal for this sentence! Xiaozhi, I told you that I have endured the surname Jing for a long time." ”
He and Ren Zhi are cousins, but the assets of his family and his second uncle's family are far apart. This is not to say that his second uncle has no conscience, and he will not pull his eldest brother after making a fortune. It's that the second uncle's industry is too big.
Therefore, Ren Zhi, the prince of the Galaxy Group, spoke to Jing Gao, and the weight was much more powerful than his act of beating the side drum to spread rumors.
The prince was angry and turned over the river and the sea!
Ren Zhi smiled and drank half a bottle of beer with Ren Chao. He actually knew Ren Chao's thoughts in his heart. He was very intelligent, not only taught and nurtured by his father in business, but also proficient in human affairs.
His cousin's resentment towards Idaka, like him, was initially the same, but it only originated from his dissatisfaction with Idaka's interference in his sister-in-law's marriage. However, after the salon of "Financial Wednesday", Ren Chao and Jing Gao directly clashed, and they were very dissatisfied with Jing Gao.
This dissatisfaction has not been so humiliated in public in twenty-four years. There is also his deep contempt for Jing Gao.
A fund manager who can manage hundreds of millions of investments on his own at the age of twenty-four, will an honor student who graduated from an Ivy League university in the United States look down on a person like Jing Gao who does not learn and has no skills?
Ren Zhi pondered for a while, half explaining and half sorting out his thoughts, and said: "Ren Chao, I think about it this way." The Phoenix Fund is certainly very awesome and has a very abundant fund. However, since he has offended Ali, I can naturally press the chips.
Looking at the travel situation of domestic online car-hailing, I judge that it is absolutely impossible for only one online car-hailing car to survive. Not to mention that there are two ride-hailing companies in North America that survive, the most important thing for Didi now is not to counterattack Uber.
Instead, after obtaining new financing, they will stay in the market in key cities. No matter how much money the Phoenix Fund has, how long will it be able to burn it? The money owed will have to be repaid after all! At that time, the business logic of the 90s in China will be repeated: The leftover is king!
The company I'm managing now is involved in artificial intelligence and big data learning in the Internet field. I will mobilize funds to become a shareholder of Didi, and let Didi use its business to help me iterate and improve the algorithm. ”
Ren Chao drank wine, ate peanuts, and said, "Xiaozhi, don't tell me this." Difference in profession makes one feel worlds apart. Besides, I have enough headaches to manage the fund, and I have to save my energy to deal with the beauty. I just need to know the result!"
Ren Zhi smiled slightly, got up and went to the house, "I'll make a few calls." "That's the way he is, he does what he says.

...
In the early autumn season, the morning sun in the capital is a little cold. In the headquarters building of 360, Zhou Hongyi, nicknamed the leader of the Red Sect, entertained Shen Nanpeng, the head of Hongbin (China), in his office.
This visit was a long time ago. At the end of September, Jing Gao entrusted Shen Nanpeng to help him sell 20% of the shares of Qiku mobile phones held by Coolpad to 360. It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that Zhou Hongyi is a very difficult person to deal with.
It's just that Zhou Hongyi and Shen Nanpeng, who are sitting at the coffee table drinking tea now, didn't expect such a big thing to happen last night: Jing Gao and Ali broke up!
Zhou Hong was 47 years old, his appearance was not good, his face was round, he wore glasses, made a gesture to invite Shen Nanpeng to drink tea, and said with a smile: "Mr. Shen, the Phoenix Fund is about to fail at this time, and you still help him run this trip?"
He has a grudge against LeTV and Coolpad. There is no grudge with the Phoenix Fund.
In 2015, because LeEco acquired the shares of Coolpad, there was a possibility of taking away control of Qiku mobile phones. He said in the WeChat circle of friends: Whoever stabbed me in the back and tried to screw me, my principle is to be sure to fxx back.
Later, Coolpad was strained, and revenue plummeted. Naturally, he was also taken back by the Cardinal Master. Got 80% of the shares of Qiku mobile phone. Continue to sell his phone online.
But who doesn't like to buy at a low price? He has the will to buy back the equity at a low price.
Shen Nanpeng is three years older than Zhou Hongyi, wearing a suit and leather shoes, also wearing glasses, and said with a wry smile: "I flew to the capital last night." I'm here, so I'm going to talk to you. No matter what happens to the Phoenix Fund in the future, it will be entrusted by people and loyal to people. I'm still going to get this deal right. ”
Zhou Hongyi laughed, gave a thumbs up, and said with emotion: "Mr. Shen, don't you know that you are facing the pressure of giants like Tencent and Ali in the Internet field. I've experienced it myself. It's so fucking painful. When I competed with Tencent, we all went to visit Tencent's headquarters, and in the end the talks broke down. ”
As he spoke, he shook his head with emotion.
The "3Q war" between 360 and Tencent QQ was full of trouble in 2010. In the end, it was the strong intervention of the state department that made the two sides compatible. Then, the lawsuit between the two sides was fought until 2014, when it was decided by the Supreme People's Court, and 360 lost.
Nanshan Pizza Hut is worthy of its name.
Who is Shen Nanpeng? A senior investment banking elite and investor. As soon as I saw Zhou Hongyi's unruly posture, I knew that I would definitely not be able to talk about it today. I also know his thoughts, and when the Phoenix Fund can't stand Ali, I will ask if the Phoenix Fund will sell it?
Shen Nanpeng's working hours are calculated by the minute, and he immediately didn't talk to Zhou Hong, and said: "Mr. Zhou, the idea of the Phoenix Fund is to go with the market and sell the shares to you." They don't have the idea of intersecting with 360 phones. Personally, I would advise you to reclaim your equity as soon as possible. As far as I know, after the Phoenix Fund solves the problem of Uber and Didi, it will vigorously support the development of Coolpad mobile phones. It's a big no-no to let a competitor own a stake in your company!"
Zhou Hongyi said disapprerovingly: "Then wait for the Phoenix Fund to resist Ali's dimensionality reduction blow first." ”
"This matter, who knows the result?" Shen Nanpeng didn't force it, and said goodbye to Zhou Hongyi with a smile, "Then let's talk about it here today." ”
Zhou Hongyi sent Shen Nanpeng to the elevator entrance, watched the elevator door close, and then turned around and went back with a small tune. Hongbin (China) has invested in 360. This bit of business etiquette still needs to be there. He was already sure in his heart that the Phoenix Fund was going to be finished.
How much pressure did he bear when he had a fight with Tencent? The strength of the Ali system, which can compete with Tencent in many fields, is definitely not weaker than Tencent's! And what is the Phoenix Fund? The foundation is too shallow.
Therefore, he will definitely be able to get this deal at a low price.
As soon as Shen Nanpeng came out of the elevator, his mobile phone rang. He glanced at the number and quickly picked it up, "Mr. Cai, hello, hello." "The attitude was excellent.
On the other end of the phone was Cai Congxin, the No. 2 person in Alibaba, "Nanpeng, have you had time to sit together recently? Cai Congxin lives in the United States.
Shen Nanpeng smiled: "Yes, yes." Mr. Cai, I can arrange your time. "There's a reason he's so respectful. Of course, it is not because of Cai Congxin's outstanding exploits in Alibaba, or Mr. Cai's wealth.
The real reason is that Cai is in charge of Alibaba's investment arm: "Alibaba Capital". It is reported that the amount of funds of Ali Capital is about 20 billion US dollars all year round. He turned out to be an investor, how dare he be disrespectful to the big guy?
Cai Congxin laughed and said, "That's okay." The morning after tomorrow. Let's meet and talk in the magic capital. I'll send you the exact location later. I suddenly realized that I hadn't seen the scenery of the Huangpu River for a long time. ”
"Okay, Mr. Cai. Shen Nanpeng said a few words of greeting, hung up the phone, and knew very well in his heart.
Alibaba's current handle for the merger of Didi and Uber has directly become Tsai. It's not very scientific, and there are those who directly send the second child into battle, but it is reasonable. Cai is always in charge of the head of Alibaba Capital.
The tide is here, and the dark clouds are overwhelming!
Ali is already on the move. Predictably, the storm was coming.
Shen Nanpeng pondered for a moment and called back, "Xiao Nan, hurry up and follow." We at Hongbin (China) are not involved in this round of financing for Uber. ”
This is the thinking of the elite investment bankers: profit first.
