"Uber is in a hurry to raise money because after the success of their model in the United States, it has begun to be imitated in various parts of the world, in Asia, Didi, Kuaidi and hundreds of ride-hailing companies in mainland China, in Southeast Asia there is Grab, in South Korea, Uber has encountered strong resistance from the taxi driver community, resulting in tens of thousands of taxi drivers marching in Seoul ......"

"It's a new model, but it doesn't have enough technical depth and challenges the traditional taxi business, so despite the large global market, there are only a few countries that can save Uber worry. Another bit of trouble is that Line is also testing the online car-hailing business in Japan and South Korea, which is very chaotic here. ”

Because it belongs to Micro Tuo.

Wen Xiaoguang was surprised and asked, "Hasn't Line's ride-hailing been boycotted in South Korea?"

Wen Chunjing shrugged, "It's a country controlled by the chaebols, and the Americans are arrogant, but Kim Fan-so knows how to share interests with the chaebols, and in fact, boycotting the Uber movement is also one of the competitive means to use populism." ”

"What populism can be used for, we are not Korean capital. ”

"It seems that you haven't been to Korea much. Wen Chunjing didn't know how to describe it, "It's an incurable cancer for a small country to have world-class companies, not to mention how many of them have, in the United States, the president is the spokesperson of capital, it is one, not in South Korea, but being president can't save South Koreans." ”

It's politics, a little off topic, and then again, Uber, while the company is thriving, has just as much of a sense of urgency.

Wen Xiaoguang understood, "Kalanick wants the mainland market. ”

"That's right. ”

"If Weituo doesn't cooperate with them, then Alipay, Baidu, and even Tengxun may be their options. They can't wait any longer, just in the past six months, from Singapore in Asia to Johannesburg in Africa to Mexico City in the Americas...... This radical expansion cannot be stopped. ”

"Still, I wouldn't support it to compete with Didi. Our opponents are getting smarter and smarter, and if they are not careful, they will be labeled as supporting foreign capital against domestic capital. ”

Wen Xiaoguang knew about the turmoil that Lenovo had encountered.

It may seem like a small thing, but it is difficult to hang on national feelings, especially when our nationalist sentiments are rising day by day.

Wen Chunjing said: "All parties have interests to consider, and my suggestion is...... Be prepared to quarrel with the two founders. ”

This is a humorous statement, in fact, everyone laughed when they heard it, and quarreling can solve this kind of difference of interests, which is simply the lowest cost way, and I can't ask for it.

"It's just money. Wen Xiaoguang crossed his hands behind his head and stretched, "I am also an entrepreneur and a company, so I understand that they are beginning to deliberately reduce our influence, not that they feel that we have made too much money, and their hearts are sour, this pattern can't make a good company, they care about power." ”

The power to control the company.

Because money is a number for these people.

It's no wonder that Wen Chunjing can't think of it, because she has never looked at this problem from this angle.

"You said that the number of shareholding ratio has changed from 30 to 40, is the key point is the wealth represented behind it?" Wen Xiaoguang smiled and shook his head confidently, "Absolutely not, it represents the right to speak in the company." ”

This is the key.

As for whether it is $4 billion or $6 billion, it is not that it is completely meaningless, but compared to the right to speak, it is obviously ranked behind.

"So Xiaoguang, what do you mean ......"

Wen Xiaoguang was at ease, and understated, "You know that Tengxun's major shareholders only make money, although they have more than 30% of the shares, but the voting rights have already been entrusted to the founder to exercise on their behalf. ”

Li Yidan immediately said: "That is a special case, the Tengxun team is very friendly to investors, and MIH Group also trusts them. But this cannot be done with the Yankees. ”

"I know. The great man once said that as long as Americans can be unreasonable, they must be unreasonable, and if they are reasonable, they must be forced to have no choice. I'm not going to delegate all my voting power to them, I'm doing half the job. ”

Wen Xiaoguang stood up, "Sister Chunjing, you can use some of our voting rights to try." On the one hand, it tells them that we only want to make money and are not interested in business and control, and on the other hand, we leave half of the appetite behind. ”

Normal people will think that since the hole has been torn open, there will be further steps. My hands are pulled, and I'm still afraid that I won't be able to kiss my mouth?

But Wen Chunjing was a little hesitant, "We didn't provide any resources, and they really value control more?"

"I'm also a major shareholder, and I have a part of my voting rights, which can bring them a lot of security benefits, and even more radical financing, which is a resource, and money is just a resource, and it is a resource to rely on. ”

Li Yidan probably understood, she explained: "Sister Wen, you think so, if they love money very much, can't they get a lot of wealth by selling the company?

It is also used on Wen Xiaoguang, and he doesn't care if Kalanick refuses, it's just money, but he can't be greedy and make some other mistakes because of this money.

Everyone is looking for an investment asset that can increase in value, and Uber's shareholders include Google, Saudi Arabia's sovereign investment fund, and SoftBank's Vision Fund, among others.

It's not that capital is the smallest of them, it's not easy to get to where it is now, it's more about taking advantage of time.

Kalanick's position has to be balanced with each other, and there are many things to consider, and as the same CEO, Wen Xiaoguang can understand it better.

Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund is a large fund, with a huge amount of $300 billion in funds, which makes him visible everywhere in the world.

After making up his mind, Wen Xiaoguang waited for time, and soon Kalanick would host a meeting of investors to explain the company's business model, the reasons for financing, its use, and future visions to the main investors, which Wen Xiaoguang often does.

It was also here that Boss Wen met with the Middle Eastern tyrants.

Remember one of the purposes for which he came to the United States?

He is preparing for the C round of financing of Weituo and selling his 'dream', so he is both an investor and a person seeking investment.

Of course, these Middle Eastern tyrants are just rich, it doesn't mean how awesome they are, and the labor and management are also awesome there, and the halo effect of those wealth is effective for ordinary people, not for Wen Xiaoguang.

So when we meet together, we talk and laugh together, and it is common to come and go, as long as the language can be understood.

It's just that when such photos are sent back to China, they can set off a lot of turmoil.
