Wen Xiaoguang does not use the company's resources as a bargaining chip for personal gain, and the Chinese are particular about avoiding suspicion, which is still evident among Asian Americans, such as Asian leaders in companies generally do not take care of their own ethnicity.

Unlike Indians, he might be able to change the entire department to Indian.

Kalanick didn't quite understand the 'special' motivation of Wen's refusal, and he was furious, believing that Uber, one of Uber's biggest investors, was not doing everything it could to help the company grow.

In the few meetings between the two, they did not back down from each other, and there was a lot of trouble.

Kalanick yelled, "Your plan is just to make more money, but you don't want to help us in any way!"

And Wen Xiaoguang-for-tat, "You should remember how you raised money four years ago! I gave you dollars at that time, and that was the biggest help!"

"Yes, but I have earned enough benefits for you with my efforts, that is a hundred times the income, this is business, you invest in me not because you want to help me, but because I can make money!"

Wen Xiaoguang didn't move like a mountain, he was too lazy to argue, "It's impossible to cooperate with Weituo." ”

"You should be ashamed of being a major shareholder, you have to figure out your responsibility, Chinese." ”

Syllable!

Wen Chunjing saw Wen Xiaoguang's face cold when she came out of Uber, and when she saw this, she quickly took two steps closer, "How is it?"

"It's just shouting, it's no good to provoke me, I asked him to pay $5 billion to buy my shares, and if he can afford it, I dare to sell it. ”

At current valuations, there should be almost that number.

"But can he really afford it?"

Wen Chunjing reminded: "The United States is not as good as the country, they will play a lot of tricks, if they really fall out, it is better to plan early." ”

Kalanick is indeed quite annoyed by Wen Xiaoguang's refusal to help, which is somewhat unexpected, from a certain point of view, Wen Xiaoguang did not do what an investor should do, which may be one of the reasons, but it should be more of his attention to the Chinese market.

"Let's watch as we go, and we won't fall out. ”

Because there will be differences in interests, quarrels between each other are always inevitable, just like when Ma Yun stripped Alipay from Alibaba, which annoyed Soft and Hard and Yahoo, but Son still smiled when he saw Ma Yun.

In business, everyone is under pressure, and it is normal for each other to always want to squeeze out a little room for manoeuvre.

"Shall we sell some stock?"

Wen Xiaoguang thought to himself that it was too stupid, it was not easy to catch a good company from the seed round, these shares are worth more than gold, how can they be sold because of a few angry words,

What is the difference between this and a child's willfulness?

"What are you selling for? Deposit in the bank and let the bank take my money out and make a profit?" he shook his head with certainty, "The future is bright, the road is tortuous, I am still thinking about buying more, how can I sell it?"

Maybe it's also some kind of self-comfort, "Actually, it's enough, probably because I'm not greedy enough." ”

The valuation of this round of Uber financing came to $19.8 billion, a proper unicorn, which can be said to be a double profit.

"Then make him angry?"

Wen Xiaoguang's eyes rolled, "I will go back to China in a few days, and I will wait for him to quarrel with me again." ”

Wen Chunjing couldn't help but smile, this guy is too cheap.

In the meantime, they're heading to the East Coast of the United States, targeting New York City.

Bai Qinqin studied at Princeton University, which is located in Princeton, New Jersey, which happens to border New York, and even the northwestern part of New Jersey is included in the New York metropolitan area.

New Jersey is not big, the northern region is affected by New York, many local people will go to New York to develop, the southern region is affected by Philadelphia, Princeton itself is very small, with a population of only more than 30,000, but this rural city has elegant scenery, surrounded by green trees, and a quiet and peaceful life is a strong cultural atmosphere and aristocratic atmosphere, so

The upper class likes to gather here.

Hearing that Wen Xiaoguang came because of the listing of JD.com, Bai Qinqin knew that he would definitely go to New York, so he contacted him in advance and asked his classmates to drive her.

In this country of cars, it is difficult to move an inch without a car.

Jingdong's listing time is the local May 22nd, and the day before the listing, the stock issue price must be set, whether it is $18 or $19, which is up to Liu Qiangdong to decide.

For his listing, some alumni of Renmin University spontaneously organized celebrations, relatives at home celebrated, and friends also flew to New York to 'commemorate'.

"Commemorating a hammer is not a relationship, there are still a group of people who follow when you get rich thousands of miles away. ”

Fu Youxuan is a little angry now, she doesn't like this set, which reminds her of those relatives in the family who hate the poor and love the rich.

probably had something to do with her resignation, and they all thought that Mr. Fu would live a miserable life from now on.

"We don't have to participate in these events, what's the matter. On the 21st, there is a final meeting, and we don't ring the bell, just follow the 22nd to the trading floor to see what it looks like. ”

"What about the meeting with the CEO of Nasdaq?" Li Yidan added.

"That's a celebration party, I'm a shareholder of JD.com, and when the time comes, it's a matter of course to get to know each other. ”

Now it is also difficult to find Liu Qiangdong, although it is not the most important moment in life, but it should also be a more important moment, and now it is estimated that he is dizzy and dirty, and he can sign and faint just by signing.

Because the listing requires the preparation of a lot of materials, all the finances in the past few years have to be reviewed, and sometimes it is people from several departments who prepare together for half a year.

Think about how many documents you have to have, and almost all of them have to be signed by the CEO.

So there is no need to rush to see him today, besides, he has someone to meet, and when he entered Lower Manhattan, which is the so-called financial district, he didn't go with them anymore, Fu Youxuan came for the first time, and wanted to take a look around, Li Yidan took her there.

The weather in New York in May is very comfortable, the day is about 20 degrees, wearing a thin jacket that is neither cold nor hot, the pedestrians on both sides are deep-eyed and high-nosed foreigners, and the cars are constantly shuttling with the smell of capitalist prosperity.

Occasionally, I could see an Asian face, but there was no intersection, they would pass in front of Wen Xiaoguang, and they would look twice, especially women, but most of them didn't recognize him, which made Wen Xiaoguang feel happy and relaxed.

Gradually, he no longer has a heart, but regards himself as an ordinary person in the sea of people.

The surrounding gray Western-style buildings towered into the sky, and I looked back and forth along the sidewalk, but I couldn't find anyone, and it wasn't long before someone finally said 'hey' in the back, and the voice was a little like a world away, "Xiaoguang?"

He turned around and saw a bright smiling face.
