October 31 is the season of late autumn and early winter. In the afternoon, the sky was slightly overcast and windy. It looks like a winter rain. On the campus of Aurora University, you can see students wearing thick winter coats everywhere.

Liu Ziyu, a third-year student at the School of Journalism, and his friend Gu Xixi from the Department of Materials Science came out of the library arm in arm. As you descend the long staircase, the eyes of the students who come in and out are straight.

These tall and petite two golden flowers are very well-known in Aurora University. Although you can't see the figures of the two big beauties in a thick tweed coat, those two flower-like faces can really dazzle a man's eyes.

"Xiao Song!" Liu Ziyu saw her boyfriend Song Yan waiting under the maple tree in front of the library at a glance, and immediately waved her little hand excitedly.

Gu Xixi's appearance is extremely beautiful, and his facial features are like jade carvings, delicate and flawless. He is 1.72 meters tall, wearing a pale pink down jacket and a slender figure. Walk over with your friends, wave your hand to say hello, and be close with restraint. He smiled and said, "Song Yan, isn't it Monday today?"

Song Yan is a year younger than them.

Song Yan is 1.8 meters tall, wearing a long windbreaker, tall and legged, handsome and chic, with bright eyes, and the kind of talking eyes like Tony Leung, which is very outstanding. "Why? I asked for leave. ”

Liu Ziyu hugged her boyfriend's arm with a happy face and patted her boyfriend's waist, "The child who skips class is not well-behaved." ”

Song Yan just smiled, a very sunny smile, made a gesture as an invitation, and walked outside the school with the two girls, not caring about the hateful eyes floating at him on the road, half chatting and half explaining:"

Since late October, the entire Chinese financial community has been focused on one thing: the conflict between Didi and Uber. You've probably seen the news. This side of the magic city is the financial center, and Uber's headquarters is in the magic capital. So, here the news gathers.

I actually came on weekends to take care of the company's business. I deliberately took a day off to stay an extra day. According to the grapevine, Mr. Jing came to Modu yesterday to deal with the problem of Uber's unfavorable financing. Hey!"

No matter how powerful Song Yan is, he is only a 19-year-old young man, and he can't help but show his true feelings towards Jing Gao in front of his girlfriend Liu Ziyu and Gu Xixi, who is close to him.

Gu Xixi asked, "Song Yan, who will win this confrontation?"

She was curious to see how things were going. The news on the Internet is all superficial. Supporters of Uber and Didi online are now arguing. Her family's assets are more than 100 million, and with her understanding of business competition, it is estimated that both sides have used water armies.

Song Yan smiled, "Hey, the objective fact now is that Jing Gao offended two big companies, Ali and Galaxy, at the same time. In foreign terms, these are two 100 billion dollar consortiums. Who can resist such a force? Itaka is basically certain that it will be finished. It is a fact that Uber raised less than $800 million some time ago. Capital is voting with its feet. ”

If he is in the position of the well high, he will definitely do better than the well high.

Liu Ziyu smiled proudly, and suddenly remembered something, "Oh, I have to call Han Jun." I can't go to the drama with her at night. Xiao Song, where are we going to eat at night?"

Gu Xi smiled knowingly. Song Yan's dissatisfaction with Mr. Jing came mostly from their mutual good friend Wang Hanjun. Her Royal Highness, the princess of HNA Group, admired Mr. Jing very much, and felt that Song Yan was not even worthy of lifting shoes for Mr. Jing. This kind of comparison will not be comfortable on anyone. What's more, Song Yan is indeed a very good boy with the quality of being competitive. If it is a Buddhist character, how does the company do it?

Song Yan said: "I sent WeChat to Lin Liuli and Rere. If you have something to do, you have to rehearse a drama. Liuli didn't arrange it in the evening, so we went to eat Cantonese food together. I booked a place in the Tang Pavilion. ”

Liu Ziyu held the mobile phone, listened to the beep sound coming from it before it was connected, and said with a smile: "Okay." ”。

...

...

Song Yan is not optimistic about Jing Gao, and is still in a very superficial cognitive state. And this actually represents the opinion of certain classes in the magic capital.

They don't have access to the most important news, such as the current competition data of Uber and Didi on subsidies, the data of the water army, the respective goals of both sides, scheduling, and so on. Only the simplest logic can be judged.

Also making this judgment is Xia Rongxi, the "hunting dog" of Idaka. He was persuading Ouyang Wan to keep his distance from Jing Gao in the "Lanting Tea House" run by Ouyang Wan, "Mr. Ouyang, now the film and television industry is shouting and killing Phoenix Film and Television. I'm in it, and it's a terrible feeling!"

Haotian Pictures, Hu Zhi Media, DreamWorks, Huayi and other film and television giants joined forces to launch a boycott. He, a newcomer who has just entered the film and television industry, is trembling with fear.

Classical music is played in the private room of the tea house, and sandalwood is wafting up. The air conditioner was on, Ouyang Wan was wearing a goose-yellow tight sweater, sitting at the wooden table, the curves of her upper body were graceful and moving, showing her stunner beauty.

Ouyang Wan couldn't have told Xia Rongxi that she had invested 120 million yuan in Uber a few days earlier, which was all the money she could raise in a short period of time. She is a layman in business. This suggestion was naturally given by her right-hand man Guo Pojun.

Because, no matter whether Uber acquires Didi or Didi buys Uber, as long as you can get the admission ticket, you will have a good income in the end. They are such small shrimps, and they don't need to care about the attitude of the Ali system.

Ouyang Wan chuckled and drank tea elegantly, "Mr. Xia, don't persuade me first! You have to think carefully about how to meet Mr. Jing's punishment! He did you a great favor, and you betrayed him like this?"

Xia Rongxi said indifferently: "If people don't do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed." Mr. Jing's ship is obviously about to sink, what am I doing with him? Mr. Ouyang, I won't hide it from you, I recently hooked up with Mr. Zhou from DreamWorks. Judging from the news from him, it was only a matter of time before Idaka was finished. Do you think that Ali is only preparing for the current public opinion offensive and banning Alipay? ”

Ouyang Wan suppressed the surprise in her heart, poured tea for herself with a teapot, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xia, what's the use of you telling me this? I'm not good at these things." Xia Rongxi walked perfunctorily, pondered for a while, and called Jing Gao.

It's not that she's really afraid that Jing Gao will lose the competition with Didi. Who would worry about a man who has only been in contact with a few times? She is worried that Didi and Uber will make a real hit, and the two will not merge in the end. Then she will cry to death!

This kind of bad thing has never happened in the history of business. Assuming that Didi has the advantage, it is to kill Uber and not merge with Uber, then she will go bankrupt.

...

...

In the curtain of competition between Didi and Uber, all kinds of strange phenomena have emerged. If Song Yan is a bystander party, gloating. That Xia Rongxi is a news party, and after getting the inside information, he jumped directly against it.

When Ouyang Wan's call was made to Jing Gao, he was already on the plane to Shencheng at a height of 10,000 miles. This is a private jet provided by a charter company that flies from the magic capital to the deep city.

"Ms. Ouyang?" Jing Gao looked at the number on his private mobile phone, answered the phone, and smiled to express curiosity.

He was so polite to Ouyang Wan, of course, it wasn't because Ouyang Wan was particularly beautiful. Instead, Ouyang Wan invested 120 million yuan in Uber. He is not short of funds, but at this time, he still has to accept Ouyang Wan's favor.

Ouyang Wan smiled charmingly: "Mr. Jing, I heard that you are in the magic capital, do you have time to come to me for a cup of tea?"

Idaka said apologetically, "It's going to be busy lately." Let's wait until we're done. "He didn't say anything about his absence in the Demon Capital.

Ouyang Wan lowered her voice and asked in a tone that we are our own people: "Mr. Jing, Uber and Didi will not die in the end, right?"

Who is Jing Gao, as soon as he heard it, he understood that Ouyang Wan was worried about the safety of his funds, thought about it, and said, "You should go back." ”

On the phone, Ouyang Wan: "..."

Jing Gao said a few words of greeting and hung up the phone with Ouyang Wan. There's no need to explain to her now. In the future, she will understand that Didi is the losing party in the end.

"Mr. Jing, drink some water. Jiang Zi brought a glass of warm boiled water to the well.

Itaka nodded, looking at the white clouds outside the porthole of the plane. All the doubts and disfavorables at this moment are also a spur and encouragement for him!

His character is so difficult!

...

...

It was just after 6 p.m. when the plane landed in the deep city. From the cold magic capital to the deep city in the south, I instantly felt that the temperature was suitable.

Jing Gao had already prepared, and went to the bathroom on the plane to take off his sweater and sweat pants. Change into autumn clothes.

This side of the deep city is naturally much looser than the capital. Wu Jingshu, Li Yifeng, and Wei Chenjun, who came to pick up the airport, drove the convoy in directly and waited in the airport.

"Mr. Jing, good evening. ”

"Mr. Jing, you have worked hard. ”

Jing Gao shook hands with Wu Jingshu, Li Yifeng, Wei Chenjun and others one by one, very calmly. But it is precisely because of this calmness that people feel the heavy pressure on his shoulders. Who doesn't know what the Phoenix Fund is facing now?

Jiang Zi, a mature beauty with a graceful posture, was so hot that her forehead was sweating, but she had no place to change her clothes, so she could only endure it. She followed Jing Gao's side and looked at the twenty-eight-year-old Wu Jingshu with envy.

Wu Jingshu was able to take charge of Jiuge Capital at this age, thanks to the trust of Mr. Jing. And she believes that she can also gain the trust of Mr. Jing and then take charge of the party. Her financial level in the secretarial group is higher than that of Wu Jingshu. But because Wu Jingshu is proficient in many foreign languages, he was selected by Mr. Qiao in May and led by Mr. Jing to the south.

The group sat in the car, and the convoy of five cars slowly drove away from Shencheng Airport and headed for Guanlan Golf Villa.

In the team's second luxury Mercedes-Benz business car, Wu Jingshu, as a senior executive of the Phoenix department, reported the latest confrontation to Jing Gao: "Mr. Jing, according to the news from Didi's company, Didi's side is collecting Uber's black materials.

These black materials are mainly focused on violations, security and other incidents. Yesterday afternoon, Uber's ride-hailing network had a safety accident when a driver in a third-tier city suffered from mental illness and caused a car accident while driving. Three vehicles collided, killing one and injuring five. He used his father's ID card to register, bypassing our review mechanism. ”

Uber and Didi each have "sources" in each other's companies. There are many things that cannot be hidden from each other.

Jiang Zi, who had just been much cooler because of the air conditioning in the car, suddenly sweated on his forehead again. This... You're not going to let Uber go out of business, are you? That's a big problem. This is really a house leak that happened to rain overnight!

Jing Gao was silent for a while, exhaled, and said, "Human life is at stake. As a platform, we will compensate if we should compensate, and Xiao Qiao will apologize when we should apologize. Don't pass the buck. Let Liu Zhen handle it. She has a lot of experience and is in charge of it. ”

Wu Jingshu said: "Mr. Liu has already rushed over. ”

Itaka nodded.

At this time, Idaka's private cell phone rang. Jing Gao took out his mobile phone from his pocket, looked at the number on the screen, and connected the phone, "Mr. An, hello." ”

"Alas..."An Xiaoqian let out a long sigh and said apologetically: "Mr. Jing, I'm sorry that I couldn't inform Mr. Ren of your thoughts in time, which caused you..."

As long as anyone who is not blind can see that the Galaxy Group is suppressing the Phoenix Fund. Haotian Pictures and Hu Zhi Media are all constituent enterprises of Galaxy Group. There is a place at the highest decision-making meeting of the Galaxy Group.

Jing Gao didn't blame An Xiaoqian. An Xiaoqian, a strong woman who is famous in Handong, is willing to say this, which is already very reasonable. It was impossible for him to ask An Xiaoqian to sacrifice her own interests for his sake.

"Actually, Sister Zhang also asked me about my thoughts through Jiahui later, and I told them frankly. So, Mr. An, it's okay. ”

An Xiaoqian is a very smart woman, she understands the subtext of Jing Gao: this is determined by Mr. Ren's character.

She was afraid that Mr. Ren didn't dare to say it. What about Zhang Ting? Eighty percent is worried about Ren Zhi's thoughts, and the stepmother is not good. And Ren Jiahui should have been told by Jing Gao not to get involved in the men's affairs, and did not go to Mr. Ren to make trouble.

An Xiaoqian sighed again and got down to business: "Mr. Jing, I just learned that there was a very tragic car accident on Uber's side. This is a very big crisis for you. Mr. Ren has a lot of friends in the capital. Do you want me to go and talk to Mr. Ren?"

The implication is "do you want to admit defeat"?

Jing Gao smiled and said sincerely: "Mr. An, thank you! ”

An Xiaoqian said very righteously: "Okay." My promise is valid at any time, and you can call me at any time if you change your mind. ”

Handong, Jingzhou. In the headquarters building of Harbour Plaza Group, in An Xiaoqian's office, the bright lights illuminate the luxurious and spacious office as if it were day.

Hanging up the phone, An Xiaoqian walked slowly to the glass window, her mood complicated and indescribable. From her point of view, she would like to see Jing Gao take the initiative to bow his head and reconcile with Mr. Ren. But she knows the inside story well and knows that Jing Gao is not wrong.

This car accident is too unfortunate.

...

...

When Jing Gao came to Shencheng in August, he asked Guan Guan to buy two villas at Guanlan Golf Villa. This time I came to Shencheng to live here. He also has a house on the side of Deep Bay No. 1, but it is more convenient to live in a villa.

The convoy arrived in front of the villa. Jing Gao said to a few people in the Mercedes-Benz business car: "Everyone take a break for ten minutes and take care of personal affairs." Later, we will find a place on the second floor of the villa for a small meeting. Chat while eating. ”

"Okay, Mr. Jing. ”

Zhongrun Company has a branch in Shencheng. The villa is naturally taken care of here. Chefs and maids are available.

After the bodyguards inspected a small living room on the second floor near the golf course, Jing Gao, Wu Jingshu, Li Yifeng, and Wei Chenjun sat around the sofa coffee table.

Jiang Zi and Dong Youwei moved a stool for the two of them to come over and act as recorders of the meeting.

Jing Gao only needed a small portion of braised pork ribs for dinner, accompanied by rice, and said slowly: "Wu Jingshu knows that Lao Li and Mr. Wei don't know very well that after breaking up with Ali on October 17, we didn't do anything.

Guan Yujia stayed in the capital, mainly to coordinate and be responsible for related affairs. The water army that confronted Ali on the Internet was arranged by her. At present, the most popular attacks on online public opinion on our Phoenix Fund are foreign capital and data security.

In fact, yesterday morning I received the news that the change of shareholders of the Phoenix Fund has been completed. The shares of Phoenix Fund held by Jiuge Capital are held by me, Guan Yujia and Cao Danqing. Therefore, we are now a pure private enterprise. ”

Li Yifeng was chubby, laughing like a Maitreya Buddha, and said worriedly: "Mr. Jing, isn't it impossible for the Phoenix Fund to directly inject funds into Uber in the future?"

The injection of funds must be legal. Jiuge Capital has a large amount of capital. But it is impossible for the three of them to come up with billions of dollars.

Jing Gao said quietly: "It's okay. The loan required by Uber can be borrowed from the Bank of East Asia and Dayou Bank. We have enough ammunition to fight a subsidy war. The second is the issue of data security. Our data center will be located in Guizhou Province, like other high-tech companies. Uber is already working on the data center migration. Regardless of labor costs, regardless of capital costs, just to grab time. ”

Wu Jingshu looked ordinary, wearing professional clothes, white shirts, black trousers, holding a bowl of noodles and eating, and asked directly: "Mr. Jing, then when will we launch a counteroffensive on the Internet? The current public opinion is really unfavorable to us." ”

She held back these words in her heart. Now that Uber has solved the key problem that Didi attacked, why hold back?

Jiang Zi and Dong Youwei both stopped their pens and looked over. The news of the two of them is even more subordinate. Don't know about this yet.

Jing Gao wiped his mouth, put away the lunch box, and sighed lightly: "This is actually a method similar to Yangmou. It's not our public image that Didi wants to tarnish. In the age of the Internet, the public's memory is actually very short.

Li Jiacheng did so many dirty things, isn't it because he donated a Shantou University, and someone has always spoken for him.

So, what Didi really wants to tarnish is our impression in the regulatory department. If you think about it, if that impression is formed, can it be reversed overnight? There is a lot of work to be done. And Didi will push the regulators to promote the merger of the two, who will be the main focus of such a merger?"

He couldn't deliver the words, but he could still hear bits and pieces. Professor Wei, Professor Zhao, and the presidents and professors of Jingxin University are still very concerned about him.

The news was told to him by Professor Zhao. He is an old professor at Jingcheng University of Technology. This university is the son of Jingcheng.

Wei Chenjun was puzzled and said: "How can Didi promote it? "She is a very charming thirty-year-old beautiful young woman, slender, plump, bright and sexy. Just eat one apple for dinner. At this time, wearing autumn clothes, sitting on the sofa asked.

Jing Gao said: "Both of us have a large amount of investment from state-owned financial enterprises behind us. That's the inner drive. I asked Mr. Wei to come over because I wanted Mr. Wei to take over the shares that Didi withdrew as a third party. I believe it's not just me who is working on the idea of Didi's shareholders. I'm afraid Ali is also talking to the shareholders behind me. ”

Wei Chenjun nodded.

Jing Gao looked around at everyone, and then said: "Didn't Ali ban Alipay? Cao Danqing has recently contacted companies with payment licenses under the recommendation of Shen Jinyuan. I gave a price that they couldn't refuse. The closing process will be completed in the near future.

So, Lao Li, I need you to visit Tencent tomorrow as my personal representative and talk to them about payment channels. ”

Li Yifeng agreed: "Okay, Mr. Jing." Then he asked, "Do this...?"

Jing Gao said: "In the eyes of the outside world, when Ali banned Alipay for us, we have to stabilize the basic market, at the very least, we must ally with Tencent." Otherwise, we're doomed. ”

There are more than just Alipay and WeChat as payment methods on the market. But these two are the most popular.

"With the business resources that Ali has in their hands, they may be able to exchange Tencent for sticking to us. You go talk about it and stabilize Tencent. Our own payment tool will be launched soon, and although it will be disliked by users, it is better to have a sword in hand than not to have a sword in hand.

And the real key in this confrontation is whether I can react to the situation with Uber from above. It depends on whether we can say that the shareholders of the state-owned enterprises behind Didi sell their shares.

So, I'll meet you tomorrow with Vanke Wangshi. I need his political resources. But we have to get things done internally. Wu Jingshu, your task now is to stabilize our state-owned enterprise shareholders. If someone wants to exit, the stake can only be sold to us. Bid for a high price.

Mr. Wei, if you prepare the capital channel, I will be able to legally transfer 50 billion US dollars at any time. Let's do our part. ”

"Okay, Mr. Jing. ”

...

...

Early the next morning, Li Yifeng began to contact Tencent and prepared to visit. Jing Gao drove to Vanke's seventeen-mile villa to see Wang Shi. This is the itinerary he has booked a long time ago.

The waves crashed against the reef in the sea.

Still in the villa before leaving the deep city, Jing Gao and Wang Shishi, who had not seen him for a while, sat in the viewing living room on the second floor and chatted. Last time, I had to turn on the air conditioner to enjoy the sea view. This will sit directly in the sun, similar to early autumn.

Wang Shishi's beard is pale, the battle of Baowan has not yet come to a conclusion, he has been busy recently, of course, with Jing Gao's support, his pressure is basically gone.

"Boss Jing, to be honest, it's much faster for you to find Mr. Yun of Poly than to find me for this matter. They have a lot of options. ”

Jing Gao drank a cold Coke and said calmly: "Mr. Wang, I have a shallow foundation, and if I am close to them, I will easily have problems in the future." I still trust you, Mr. Wang. I just need to get the word out and have a level playing field. Uber is not a lawbreaker. ”

There is a very strange point in the Baowan controversy. China Resources eventually transferred its stake in Vanke to Shenzhen Metro. According to the normal financial logic, China Resources can continue to hold it. Because the shares received by Shenzhen Metro were given by Evergrande. But China Resources is clearing. When interviewed later, China Resources was secretive about this.

So, don't underestimate some of the influence of Wang Shi.

Wang Shishi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll try it." Let me tell you, car accidents are actually very tricky. Although it is said that there will always be accidents when it comes to transportation, it is absolutely necessary for people to be responsible. Corrective action is also needed. Of course, you Uber have a little less responsibility as a platform. The key is to gain public opinion. ”

He is now an ally with Idaka. It's very clear.

Jing Gao said: "Mr. Wang, you will resign from the position of chairman of Vanke after the last time you said the Baowan dispute, Xia Shang Real Estate under my name urgently needs a consultant like Mr. Wang, and I am willing to pay an annual salary of 100 million to hire Mr. Wang." The contract period follows Mr. Wang's wishes. ”

Wang Shishi looked at Jing Gao seriously, and then laughed, "You kid! As he spoke, he raised his teacup.

Idaka held up his iced Coke.

Not far off the coastline, the waves are raging, the tide rises and falls. But the reef in the water still stands.
