Chapter 269: Change Begins
The taste of overnight fame, Idaka does not feel deeply. He handed over his external mobile phone to Guan Yujia for safekeeping last night, and the mobile phone he used himself was turned off. Sleep till dawn at the Platinum Bay Mansion in the heart of the North Bund.
After meeting Anyi's mother An Xiaoqian, he flew to the magic capital with Guan Yujia and others on the afternoon of the 20th. There are a few Uber (China) investors here who asked to meet with him, and Xiao Qiao's weight is not enough.
If the shareholders of LeTV Pictures include most of the entertainment industry, then the shareholders of Didi and Uber (China) basically include the domestic venture capital circle! For example: SoftBank.
This is a higher-level circle, a stage.
More than a month has passed since Uber (China) started its preferential campaign in medium-sized cities with a population of more than 1 million people across the country.
During this time, online car-hailing users have benefited and are happy. But Shenzhou Car Rental, which ranks third and fourth in the industry, is easy to arrive, and it is not to be pitted. In the first half of the year, it was easy to close to a crash.
There is still news on the rivers and lakes that Zhou Hang, the founder of Yidao, was overshadowed by LeTV executives. The two sides are engaged in a big lawsuit online.
Lu Zhenyao, the eldest brother of the Shenzhou department, is still mobilizing funds to survive. Well, it was the chairman of Luckin Coffee later.
For the shareholders of Uber and Didi, the subsidy war for more than a month is a terrifying battle. $100 million is burned every day!
Moreover, when Didi is clearly declining and has shifted from strategic stalemate to strategic contraction, Didi currently only ensures subsidy competition with Uber in first- and second-tier cities across the country, but Uber has no intention of stopping.
Against this backdrop, several Uber shareholders asked to meet with Idaka. In the past two days, Jing Gao came to the magic capital and met with the president of the magic branch of Minsheng Bank and Kang Wenfeng of CITIC Securities.
The curtains were opened, and the early autumn sun shone into the bedroom with a hint of dry heat. As far as the eye can see, it is the winding Huangpu River, the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, and the Bank of China Building. It's autumn season!
Itaka brushed his teeth, went to the second bedroom converted into a gym, and ran on the treadmill for forty minutes before taking a shower. came out in a bathrobe and called Guan Yujia next door, "Guan Guan, I'll get up." ”
Moments later, the doorbell was heard. Jing Gao opened the door, let Guan Yujia, who was wearing gray professional clothes, come in, put his arms around her thin waist, kissed her delicate and pretty face, and said strangely: "How do you wear professional clothes, aren't you resting today?"
His trip to the Demon Capital is basically over. All that is left is to meet with Guo Lingyu, director of Goldman Sachs Asia Pacific at noon tomorrow. He planned to go shopping in the magic capital with Guan Yujia.
When he was in the capital a few days ago, he rested at Guan Yujia's place and fell asleep while she told her past. The next morning, the change of clothes was brought by Xiaohe, Guan Guan put the clothes on the chair next to the bed, and went to work early.
There is definitely anger there. But Guan Guan's temperament is very gentle, and when he went to see An Xiaoqian, he forgave him for falling asleep.
Guan Yujia looked a little tired, answered the phone last night, and chuckled: "Mr. Ren is a prophecy." Buying LeEco's assets brings you great fame.
The day before yesterday, when we met with President Mo of Minsheng Bank, he also pointed out that Uber's shareholders wanted a truce. Urge Uber (China) to stop the subsidy war with Didi as soon as possible.
After the news of Phoenix Fund's acquisition of LeTV's asset portfolio came out, he called you last night. I had a lot of nice things to say, and I had to come over in the morning. I thought about it and agreed. When I think about his face now, I feel like laughing. ”
Jing Gao hugged Guan Yujia and said with a smile: "His remarks the day before yesterday can be said to be from the perspective of a responsible shareholder, but his ass is completely crooked on Didi's side." The magic capital is the financial center. He is supposed to be in contact with Didi's investors.
Now we are probably seeing the situation change. Not only will our shareholders be confident, but Didi's shareholders will also be shaken. So hurry up and remedy it. ”
Guan Yujia nodded, and then her beautiful eyes looked shy, bit her lip, and said softly: "Brother Jing, you are necrotic." It's early in the morning!"
Jing Gao smiled in her ear and said, "Guan Guan, haven't you seen Jet Li's version of Heaven and Dragon Slayer? Do you know how charming your delicate and shy appearance is, little goblin?"
The three words "little goblin" made Guan Yujia's heart seem to have an electric current passing through it, crispy. She knew that Idaka wanted to swallow her in one gulp. And she, in fact, has long been intoxicated and lost in his tenderness, and she is at your disposal.
At this moment, Idaka's mobile phone rang. It was Xie Dashao who called, and he quipped: "Mr. Jing, it's awesome!"
Jing Gao was very helpless, but he couldn't open his mouth to scold Xie Dashao for ruining his good deeds. The main reason is that if he blames Xie Dashao for calling at the wrong time now, it is estimated that this friendship will deteriorate. This is not college anymore.
"It's okay. I'm here in the magic capital. How did it get out there?"
Xie An laughed and said, "Your kid turned off his mobile phone last night. You don't know, the class group has exploded. Eh, no one of your high school or junior high school classmates called you to ask? Your name as the actual controller of the Phoenix Fund is on the Internet. As long as people on the Internet can see it. Let me tell you, if you want to have a peaceful birthday, you have to learn from a big company, and quickly call your public relations department and relevant media and websites to say hello and control it. ”
I'll go.
Only then did Idaka realize that he was completely stupid. In the age of the Internet, information is very transparent, and this is true. But the "control and evaluation" thing can still be done. A lot of people's news is not searchable. Isn't that normal?
"Dashao, thank you. Wait for me to go back to the capital to find you for a drink. ”
Xie An said chicly: "Lao Jing, don't just drink! I'm going to give the leaves a tight tube now. Are you kid singing every night now? Take it easy! Give your little brother a vacation. ”
Jing Gao laughed and scolded: "Fuck off." ”
The early autumn morning sun was a little hot. After a phone call, some of the stirring emotions in the living room vanished. At the sofa, Guan Yujia tidied up her clothes and helped Jing Gao go to the next door to bring breakfast, she did:
Sweet rice porridge, steamed buns, boiled eggs, and two pieces of slightly spicy tofu in a small dish.
Jing Gao happened to call Cao Danqing and Qiao Shuang here. Let Phoenix Fund and Uber (China) help him say hello to the media at the same time and take his name down. Just report on the Phoenix Fund.
Smelling the fragrance of rice porridge and spicy tofu, Jing Gao's appetite increased greatly, and he sat at the dining table and praised: "Guan Guan, you are really a good wife and mother." I'm probably going to get lazier and lazier with you. ”
Guan Yujia smiled sweetly, accompanied Jing Gao to have breakfast together, talked nonsense with him, and suddenly remembered something, "Oh, I almost forgot to tell you, there was an email from the Phoenix Fund, and Lu Yu, the ace program of Phoenix Satellite TV, wanted to invite you to do a show." ”
Jing Gao drank the porridge and muttered slightly, "Push it off." I don't want to be on TV yet. ”
Guan Yujia nodded and picked up her phone to reply to the email. The company's office system has an APP version, which can be installed and run in a mobile phone.
Jing Gao persuaded: "Guan Guan, let's go back after eating." Not in a hurry. In the morning you sleep well at home. I'll just go and see President Xia Mo alone. At noon we had lunch together. Listen to my arrangement in the afternoon. ”
"Oh. Guan Yujia obediently put down the phone. A beautiful young woman who is very supple.
Jing Gao couldn't help but want to tease her, hugged her thin waist, and said, "Guan Guan, your buns are so delicious." ”
Guan Yujia suddenly turned crimson. Of course she understood. A pair of beautiful eyes looked at Jing Gao charmingly, and he was still ashamed to speak, and said coquettishly: "Brother Jing, you are dead." I don't even want to pay attention to you. ”
Jing Gao laughed, and loved this woman in his heart.
...
...
The clock moved forward slightly to yesterday afternoon.
Mo Yanbo, president of the Modu branch of Minsheng Bank, received the news of the large-scale acquisition of LeTV's asset portfolio by Phoenix Fund in his office, and was immediately a little silent. Picked up the phone on the table and dialed out, "Xiao Xu, I won't participate in the evaluation meeting later." ”
"Okay. President. ”
Mo Yanbo was in the office window, looking at the street scene outside, and lit a cigarette in annoyance, until two hours later, at about half past six in the evening, he picked up his mobile phone and called Shen Nanpeng, the head of Hongbin China.
In yesterday's meeting, he pressured the Phoenix Fund's Jing Gao to make a slight concession to Didi. The reason is that Didi, a capital investment at home and abroad, will blame the Phoenix Fund if it is damaged too much. This was actually under the guidance of Shen Nanpeng.
Hongbin Capital invested in Didi's D+ round. The figure has not been released, but it is expected to be no less than $50 million.
What is the status of Shen Nanpeng, the head of Hongbin Capital (China), in the business and investment circles?
Founder of Ctrip.com and Homeinn Hotel. Global Managing Partner of Hongbin Capital, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Ye Lu China Center, History of China Entrepreneurs Forum. History of Yabuli China Entrepreneurs Forum.
Trustee of Modu Jiaotong University. The Chinese with the highest ranking on the Forbes list of the world's best investors. "China's 50 Most Influential Business Leaders" by Fortune magazine, and "Top 20 Global Venture Capitalists" by The New York Times in 2016.
Wait a minute.
In layman's terms, this is a bigwig! His personal wealth may only be 11.3 billion, but his influence in the business world and the funds he can mobilize are at the level of a bigwig.
Mo Yanbo had a meal with Mr. Shen a few days ago, and of course we should pay attention to his opinion. Minsheng Bank is a minority shareholder of Uber China.
Others may be watching the excitement and the rise of the influence of the Phoenix Fund, but what Mo Yanbo sees is the crisis he is facing. Jing Gao really wants to be dissatisfied with him, and when the situation is clear in two days, a phone call will be made to the head office, and his position will be dismissed.
So he stood in his office for two hours to think about how to deal with this "crisis". His first choice is still to hope that Mr. Shen can help him resist this pressure. After all, he was also acting on orders.
"Mr. Shen, haha, hello, hello. I'm sorry to bother you at this time. The phone was connected, Mo Yanbo softened his body and said polite words.
On the phone, Shen Nanpeng said with a smile: "President Mo, what's the matter?" He was eating with his friends outside.
Mo Yanbo said cautiously: "Mr. Shen, have you read the news this afternoon? They spent 12.6 billion to acquire a portfolio of assets of LeEco and act as a white knight of LeEco. ”
Shen Nanpeng said: "Is there such a thing, President Mo, I will understand the situation and call you later." ”
"Okay, okay. ”
Mo Yanbo hung up the phone and waited in the office until nearly nine o'clock in the evening, but he had not received a call from Shen Nanpeng, and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot. Grass. He was pushed away. "Lao Tzu believes that you are really stupid!"
Sheng Beach, especially in the financial sector, is full of lies and betrayals, and plays with successes and failures. He's still being tricked into it, what a fool!
Mo Yanbo gritted his teeth and called Jing Gao, "I'm sorry, the user you dialed is on the phone." ”
Mo Yanbo was stunned, waited for ten minutes to call again, and made three phone calls in a row to get through, bent over, and said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Jing, hello, hello." I'm Xiaomo from Minsheng Bank. ”
There was obviously a brief pause on the other side of the phone, and then he said, "President Mo, I'm Guan Yujia, the assistant to Mr. Jing." Do you have something to do?"
"Ah, Mr. Guan, hello, hello. I want to visit Mr. Shimoi tomorrow morning, do you think it is convenient? After meeting Mr. Jing yesterday, I deeply feel that Mr. Jing is very knowledgeable and has a lot of hills and valleys in his chest. I want to ask Mr. Jing for advice and listen to the teachings in person. ”
Guan Yujia was obviously silent for a while, and then said: "Mr. Jing has an appointment tomorrow." ”
Mo Yanbo was a little anxious in his heart, but his face was still stable, and he pleaded: "Mr. Guan, I deeply regret that I put pressure on Mr. Jing yesterday. I've been bewitched by others, too. Mr. Guan, please give me a chance to admit my mistake to Mr. Jing in person. ”
"Okay. ”
...
...
Guan Yujia's appointment with the president of Minsheng Bank was the Shangri-La Hotel across the Huangpu River. The Presidential Suite remains.
Phoenix Film and Television's office location in the magic capital is a bit off. It is not suitable for Idaka as a meeting place.
Jing Gao drove to the Shangri-La Hotel in a good mood, and the warmth of Guan Guan made him very happy, and took the special elevator directly to the presidential suite on the upper floor. Ask the housekeeper to notify the front desk. If Mo Yanbo comes, ask him to come up.
There is always something good about "fame". No, Mo Yanbo changed his position?
Jing Gao is actually not interested in the person behind Mo Yanbo, he is a little looking forward to meeting Guo Lingyu tomorrow. Didi took the initiative to contact him, what kind of conditions would it give?
After a while, a middle-aged man in his forties came in with a smile, and as soon as he entered the door, he trotted forward, bent down and shook hands with Jing Gao, "Mr. Jing, hello, hello!"
Jing Gao couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
