Chapter 233: Who Swallowed Whom?
37th floor of Futian Shangri-La Hotel. The night filled the sky and the earth, and a light rain suddenly came.
After dinner, Guan Yujia was working at the desk in the living room of the executive suite, when she received a call from the capital, "Sister Guan, the courtyard is cleaned, the household appliances are complete, and you can move in." ”
"Okay. Xiaohe, you have worked hard. Guan Yujia casually complimented, she followed Mr. Qiao for a period of time, and the level of the manager improved rapidly.
Xiao He hurriedly said: "It's not hard, it's not hard." ”
Guan Yujia smiled and hung up the phone. Take out your notepad and cross out one of the to-dos above. The top to-do item is to purchase two Mission Hills Golf Villas.
She worked as an assistant to Mr. Jing, and there were a bunch of people in the company who worked as assistants for her. Zhongrun Company recruited assistants for her in an unlimited number of places. The work around these patio owners was slowly handed over to her by Qiao Shuang and Yu Jiashi.
She followed Qiao Shuang's division that day, namely: life group and administrative group. She now has 13 men under her command. There are also more than 100 employees of Zhongrun Company and employees of branches around the country for her to transfer.
Closing the notebook, Guan Yujia held her cheeks and looked at the drizzle outside the window. Mr. Jing should still be socializing in the wine party.
Since the past week, he has been following Mr. Wang of Vanke to visit investors everywhere in Shencheng, and he has been feasting. Xin Zhi took Lin Xiaozhong, a guy who was "tested for a long time", otherwise he would be drunk every night when he came back.
"Jingle bell..."
A cheerful cell phone rings. Guan Yujia came back to her senses, picked up the phone, and the caller reported to herself, "Assistant Guan, hello." I'm Lingyu Guo, Executive Director of Goldman Sachs Asia Pacific. ”
Guan Yujia said in a clear voice: "Ms. Guo, hello. ”
Guo Lingyu laughed heartily, "Assistant Guan, I'm sorry to disturb you." I want to visit Mr. Jing in the hotel tomorrow, I don't know if it's convenient? I heard that Mr. Jing is meeting investors in Shencheng during this time. ”
Goldman Sachs' Asia-Pacific headquarters is located on Hong Kong Island, just a line away from Shenzhen. The business exchanges between the two places are very close.
For example, Brother Xiao Ma lives on Hong Kong Island and drives to work at Tencent's headquarters in Shenzhen every day.
Guan Yujia pondered for a moment and said, "Ms. Guo, I'll check Mr. Jing's itinerary and call you later, can you see it?"
She knows Idaka's mind very well. Uber China is not raising money to find money, but to find connections. Goldman Sachs' connections aren't what Uber needs for the time being. Goldman Sachs is only useful if it is listed in the United States.
Of course, the executive director of Goldman Sachs Asia Pacific is not even qualified to pay a visit to Jinggao. She needed to ask for advice.
"Okay. Guo Lingyu felt slightly unhappy in his heart. The Phoenix Fund is a bit arrogant. She is a request to meet on behalf of Goldman Sachs, the world's top investment bank!
...
...
By Saturday, August 20th, Jing Gao came to Shencheng for a week, and basically completed all the things that needed to be done.
In the morning, Jing Gao received the visiting Goldman Sachs Asia Pacific Executive Director Guo Lingyu in the chairman's room on the 40th floor of the Shangri-La Hotel.
The sun shines on the balcony at more than nine o'clock, and the height of the 40th floor allows the two to have a wide field of vision, overlooking the spacious leisure area in front of Lianhuashan Park and the Convention and Exhibition Center.
Guo Lingyu came to visit Jing Gao today, and he did not wear a suit, but a set of fashionable summer clothes.
Aqua blue silk kaftan with a novel style. The lower body is paired with a short black skirt. At the age of thirty, she is well-maintained like a beauty in her twenties, with bright eyes and bright teeth, delicate and bright.
With a figure of 1.70 meters, slender and plump and graceful, he has a very good figure. The pair of snow-white long legs sat on top of each other, revealing the bottom of Jinggao's eyes, and the skin was as creamy as jade. It is full of different charm and style.
Guo Lingyu sat on the sofa, watching the beautiful scenery of the park, took a sip of coffee, and said with a smile: "Mr. Jing, are you still used to living in a hotel? ”
This is a bit of a master's meaning.
Jing Gao raised the doubts in his heart and said with a smile: "What do you call Ms. Guo and Mr. Guo He, the Asian sugar king?"
Guo Lingyu's beautiful big eyes looked at Jing Gao approvingly, reacted quite quickly, and smiled, "That's my grandfather." ”
Itaka smiled and nodded, taking a sip of ice Coke.
Guo Lingyu sipped coffee elegantly, not going around in circles, but cutting to the point, "Mr. Jing, Didi's Mr. Liu worked for Goldman Sachs a few years ago, and I had the honor to work with her. She was also my senior sister at Harvard. I'm visiting today, and I can say two things, and one thing. ”
"Oh?"
Guo Lingyu said: "Uber and Didi are once again in a subsidy war in China. More than $100 million is burned every day. This situation is absolutely unsustainable, and I think both of you have the will to make peace.
Therefore, Mr. Liu asked me to pass on a message and ask Mr. Jing about the price at which Uber (China) was sold.
As an employee of Goldman Sachs, I hope to facilitate the merger between the two of you and invest in the new combined company and take a stake in it. ”
Guo Lingyu said this very confidently! He looked at Jing Gao with burning eyes, waiting for his answer.
Jing Gao couldn't help laughing and said leisurely: "Ms. Guo, you made a subjective mistake. Uber (China) burns money sustainably. ”
Guo Lingyu immediately poured out of his heart. She came to visit with sincerity. What is Idaka's answer? Can burning more than $100 million a day be sustainable? Which company in the world dares to say that it can be sustainable?
Is your money flooded in?
If you don't agree, you don't agree. Who wouldn't brag?
Guo Lingyu's face changed slightly, and he persuaded in a cold voice: "Mr. Jing, the profit of 1 billion US dollars is quite considerable, which is rare." The $450 million you raised has now burned out, how can this continue? Don't be rash in doing business, and make money in a peaceful way. ”
This is a bit of a "teach you to be a man". Perhaps Guo Lingyu was born in the Guo family and is used to speaking in this tone. Besides, she is three years older than Jing Gao, which is a bit of a teacher for children.
Jing Gao was a little unhappy in his heart, glanced at his mobile phone, and said, "Ms. Guo, you can swipe the Weibo message." ”
After speaking, I drank Coke and looked at the park scenery under the hotel. On summer mornings, there are still tourists in the shade of the trees and by the pond.
Guo Lingyu almost didn't come up in one breath. She kind of knew where the arrogance of the Phoenix Fund came from. It's all the atmosphere brought up by the young man in front of him. She usually works on Hong Kong Island, so she can easily communicate with friends on the mainland by installing WeChat, what kind of Weibo does she use on her mobile phone?
Guo Lingyu beckoned and called the hotel service team who was far away to come over, "Open your mobile phone Weibo and show me the news." ”
"Okay, Miss Guo. The hotel's executives cooperatively took out their mobile phones.
Guo Lingyu asked angrily: "Mr. Jing, what news do you want me to watch?"
Jing Gao said: "Search the official WeChat of Uber (China), there is an announcement on it." ”
Guo Lingyu slapped his mobile phone on the table and ordered Gao Guan: "You help me search it." ”
The middle-aged executive of the hotel lowered his head, did not dare to look at the collarbone of Guo Lingyu's shirt collar, and the fierce curve under her collarbone, and honestly searched for the official WeChat of Uber (China). He looked slightly stunned, and then handed over the phone.
Guo Lingyu frowned, the expression of the hotel executive gave her a bad premonition, and then watching the mobile phone news, she suddenly took a breath of cool air.
The official WeChat news of Uber (China) is: the latest news, Uber (China) recently completed the C round of financing, Poly Real Estate, OCT Group, Shenzhen Capital Group, Shenzhen Metro joint investment of 2.5 billion US dollars.
The valuation of Uber (China) remains at $12 billion. The original shareholders of Phoenix Fund, Vanke, and HNA all continued to invest. The round raised a total of $5 billion.
The comments under Uber (China)'s official Weibo have exploded.
"Lao Tie, 666. ”
"Made, these people in the Internet field don't treat money as money. ”
"Who's going to explain the wave, what's the mystery of this financing?"
"The first two are state-owned enterprises under the State X Committee. Do you know the list of China's top venture capital institutions? Shenzhen Capital Group is a large-scale local venture capital company with the same reputation as IDG, SoftBank, and Hongbin China. ”
"I have the latest revelation that of the $2.5 billion co-invested, Phoenix Fund alone contributed $2.4 billion. ”
"Awesome!"
"The Phoenix Fund's Joe is always awesome. She's only 25 years old, right? I wonder if she's married?"
"Mr. Qiao, I love you. ”
"Get out. That's my daughter-in-law. ”
Guo Lingyu is a venture capitalist and knows the financing data of Didi and Uber well. Uber (China) raised this $5 billion, which is really not much worse than Didi. Moreover, the financial strength of the Phoenix Fund seems to be very strong.
Speechless, she returned the phone to the hotel executive and told him to stay away first. What she had just said to Idaka was a little inappropriate. Jing Gao is indeed not bragging, 5 billion US dollars can be burned for more than a month.
Jing Gao turned his head, looked at Guo Lingyu, and said, "Ms. Guo, Mr. Liu wants to merge with Uber (China), and I also want to merge with Didi." You help me ask Didi, what price they offer. ”
Guo Lingyu smiled helplessly, "Mr. Jing, I will bring your words." At this point, there is no momentum. Her senior sister wants to eat Uber, but others want to eat Didi too! , who in the end swallowed whom?
It is estimated that at this time, Mr. Liu should have seen the financing news of Uber (China). I wonder how she feels at this time?
Jing Gao nodded, stood up, and reached out to shake Guo Lingyu, "Then let's do it today." I made an appointment with Mr. Wang for tea at noon. ”
Guo Lingyu got up and watched Jing Gao leave.
The pride of being the granddaughter of the Asian sugar king is gone. The pride of being the executive director of Goldman Sachs, the world's top investment bank, in the Asia-Pacific region has also disappeared. I'm afraid she will have to make a good friend of this well boss. This is a cow man!
...
...
The news of Uber (China's) financing caused an uproar on the Internet. And Jing Gao took his assistant and bodyguards to drink tea with Wang Shishi on the beach.
After coming to Shencheng for a week, the financing matter was completed, he had to say goodbye to Wang Shidao, and it was time to go back.
