After a meal, although the understanding between the two sides was enhanced.

In fact, there has been no substantial progress, and Zhang Ming is very cautious.

Xu Ran only revealed to him some upcoming changes in the artificial intelligence industry and never said anything else, so he took the initiative to end the dinner.

Leaving the roast duck restaurant and walking halfway through, Mr. Liu suddenly called and wanted to meet Xu Ran.

Xu Ran was a little curious, but still asked Luo Jiuwa to drive to the place where Mr. Liu asked him to make an appointment.

It was a very low-key hall.

After Xu Ran entered the hall, the service staff took the initiative to greet and lead Xu Ran into a secluded room.

There is no one else in this room, only Mr. Liu and Mrs. Zhang.

After Mr. and Mrs. Liu welcomed Xu Ran and sat down, Mrs. Zhang smiled and asked Xu Ran if he had any good antiques in the near future, and if she could reveal some inside information.

Of course, Mrs. Zhang is also a senior member of his antique company, and Le Hui doesn't know when she got acquainted with Mrs. Zhang through the relationship between Xu Ran and Mr. Liu.

Mrs. Zhang usually likes antique collection very much, so after following Le Hui to participate in several market openings and opening her eyes, she automatically joined the senior membership.

Xu Ran also didn't know much about the recent opening of the market, and said that if Mrs. Zhang really had some antique needs, he could say hello to Le Hui, and if he noticed it, he could send a message to Mrs. Zhang in advance.

Mr. Liu has been quite quiet and has not spoken.

After Xu Ran and Mrs. Zhang chatted about the topic of antiques, Mr. Liu asked how Xu Ran tasted like to eat roast duck today.

I didn't expect Mr. Liu's news to be quite well-informed, and Xu Ran was a little puzzled.

Mr. Liu just smiled and said that he actually brought a foreign friend to eat roast duck today, and saw Xu Ran being surrounded by fans upstairs and taking a group photo.

At that time, Mr. Liu thought it was interesting and wanted to go over to say hello, but when he saw Xu Ran meeting with Toutiao's CEO Chen Ling, he didn't bother.

It turned out that this was the case, Xu Ran thought that Mr. Liu was unpredictable.

However, Xu Ran did not hide anything from Mr. Liu about his meeting with Zhang Ming, and directly told Mr. Liu that the products of the symbol company are very popular, and he is very interested in the users and traffic he has mastered, which is quite helpful to him in the layout of the development of artificial intelligence.

Mr. Liu very much agrees with Xu Ran's point of view, in fact, he is indeed very greedy for the huge user flow of the symbol company, if it can be diverted to Jingdong, with the effectiveness of the e-commerce platform with a new regulatory mechanism after the current Jingdong revision and upgrading, it can completely make the sales performance of e-commerce go to a higher level.

Xu Ran felt that with Zhang Ming's prudence, it was estimated that it would be very difficult for Mr. Liu's idea to be realized, after all, people have huge user traffic, and they have the idea of making an e-commerce platform.

After chatting about this topic, Mr. Liu suddenly told Xu Ran that he had recently inquired about the composition of Jingdong's shares, and suddenly found that among the new shareholders of Jingdong, there were suddenly a few unfamiliar new faces.

Mr. Liu talked about a silver umbrella tree investment, a quantum gene investment, and a Lola investment.

The number of shares occupied by these three overseas investment companies in Jingdong is very high, and they are fully qualified to enter the board of directors and have the right to vote, which makes Mr. Liu and the shareholders of Jingdong very concerned, and they are also making every effort to investigate the background of these three investment institutions.

It is said that Mr. Liu rarely talks to Xu Ran about this kind of topic, because Xu Ran is not a shareholder of Jingdong, and he said that these things do not make much sense.

But today, Mr. Liu suddenly asked Xu Ran to come over to meet and talk to Xu Ran about this, which is a little intriguing.

In fact, Mr. Liu's meaning is more obvious.

Xu Ran knew that Mr. Liu had begun to suspect that one of the three investment companies was likely to be related to Xu Ran.

The investment company called Quantum Gene is only one word different from the quantum fund of the financial predator Soros, but it is obviously not an investment institution.

As for Lola Investment, this is a very good inquiry, and the consortium of the United States knows that the background behind this investment company is inseparable from the arms group of the United States, although it is very small, no one dares to underestimate it.

Only the Silver Umbrella Tree Investment is the most mysterious, and I don't know who or force is behind the scenes.

After all, according to the information they investigated, Peng Ya had been running a club in Xiacheng before presiding over the investment company, and then suddenly went to the United Kingdom to register Silver Umbrella Tree Investment, and the first investment case she engaged in was to operate the shares of Jingdong Company and achieved success.

To say that this woman does not have the support of a powerful force with strong financial resources behind her, how can she afford a capital operation of hundreds of billions of dollars.

In fact, sooner or later, this information will be investigated and made public, and it is better to take the initiative to say it than to continue to hide it and attract suspicion.

So Xu Ran bluntly told Mr. Liu that the Silver Umbrella Tree Investment was an overseas investment company wholly owned by him.

Mr. Liu was only suspicious of this, but he did not have a close connection with Xu Ran.

However, now, when Mr. Liu personally got confirmation from Xu Ran, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and looked very shocked and surprised.

After a long while, Mr. Liu digested the news that shocked him.

It's just that after adapting to the news, Mr. Liu looked at Xu Ran with a somewhat complicated look in his eyes, and asked Xu Ran when he started this operation.

Xu Ran didn't hide it, so he told Mr. Liu that after Mr. Liu's incident, he felt that there were some complicated factors interfering with it, and it happened that he wanted to enter the Internet industry at that time, and he just felt that this was an opportunity, so he asked people to register an investment company overseas to carry out this operation.

When Mr. Liu heard Xu Ran say that it was after his incident that Xu Ran began to operate the shares of Jingdong Company, he was relieved.

In fact, he himself knew that this matter was premeditated by some forces, and the beneficiaries of it would be extremely suspicious, if Xu Ran was also one of them, it would really make him feel terrible.

Since that incident, Mr. Liu has been attacked and questioned, and his life is very difficult, but at that time, Xu Ran was able to talk to him, and they could talk happily about what they were interested in each other, and there was no other thing, which made him really feel that this was a very good friend.

That incident hit Mr. Liu very hard, and it also made him a little disheartened.

If Xu Ran hadn't put forward the idea of intelligent network interconnection at that time and brought him a new goal, he might have retired.

Therefore, Mr. Liu also attaches great importance to Xu Ran, a private friend and an important partner, especially after the change in Jingdong's share structure this time, which makes him restless.

Now, after learning that the Silver Umbrella Tree Investment is Xu Ran's company, and they are operating Jingdong's stocks after his incident, and they have also absorbed a lot of shares thrown by Huang He Investment, Mr. Liu can be sure that Xu Ran has nothing to do with his incident.

It's just that Mr. Liu was also very curious, and asked Xu Ran why he wanted to operate and eat a large number of Jingdong's stocks.
