Chapter 235 Approved by Yu Yun
In the Internet world, there is no difference between midweek and weekend.The message was delivered quickly.
On the morning of August 8, the news that Uber (China) raised US$20 billion was the top trending search.The entire VC community was shocked.This is not only a matter of funds, but also means that Uber (China) has made up for its "short boards".
Didi and Uber will continue to fight!
To this end, Didi's management held an emergency meeting at 11:[-] in the morning to discuss countermeasures.
Didi headquarters.
The atmosphere in the conference room was a bit dignified.Chairman and CEO Cheng Wei sat at the main seat, turning his pen, with a pensive expression on his fat and white face.
Zhu Jingshi, vice president of strategy at Didi, is introducing the situation, "We raised US$45 billion in June. In addition, China Merchants Bank led a syndicated loan of US$25 billion, and China Life's long-term debt investment of US$3 million.
A total of 73 billion US dollars.China Post is ready to finance us 2.4 million US dollars, and we will be able to sign the contract next week.In addition, we are still negotiating with Foxconn.Chairman Guo Taiming intends to invest 2 million US dollars in us.Our initial valuation is $335 billion.
So, it's clear now that we have about $77 billion in hand.Uber (China) has only $54.5 billion.The market's valuation of us is nearly three times that of Uber (China).They can't beat us. "
This mouthful of chicken blood can be beaten.
"Crack, clap!" The crowd applauded.
In fact, all Didi executives here understand the truth.They are the industry leaders and the dominant side.But Uber (China) suddenly got 50 billion US dollars, who is not worried about this momentum?
Liu Qing said: "Let me tell you another piece of news. Just now, Jing Gao, the actual controller of Phoenix Fund, a shareholder of Uber (China), sent me a message through Ms. Guo Lingyu, the executive director of Goldman Sachs Asia Pacific.
He asked us what is the selling price of Didi?He wants to buy us.Didi is the common cause of all of us.Will everyone agree to him? "
A group of executives said one after another: "Of course not."
"Mr. Liu, this Jing Gao thinks too much of himself. If the competition continues, I'm afraid that he won't even have his underpants."
"Ha ha!"
Liu Qing didn't tell the real situation, but injected a shot of chicken blood called "anger".Immediately, morale is available.Looking around, he said confidently: "Didi will not admit defeat. It is impossible to lose. Call me for financing, and fight with Uber, I will leave it to everyone."
Liu Qing is indeed very capable, and the Didi people in the meeting room are all fighting spirits.
...
...
After the meeting, Liu Qing chatted with Cheng Wei and went to the restaurant downstairs for lunch.
A very simple lunch, a steak, a fruit salad, a glass of red wine.Sitting in the window seat of the restaurant, Liu Qing thought for a while, and called her cousin Liu Zhen, "Jen (Jen), haven't you had your lunch break yet?"
Liu Zhen's English name is "jen", and the Chinese translation is "珍".And Liu Qing's English name is "jean liu", and the corresponding Chinese translation is "Jean Liu".So the two cousins not only have similar resumes, but also have similar English names.
"Of course not yet." Liu Zhen seemed to be in a good mood, and said, "Jean, you've been calling me a lot lately!"
"Is there?" Liu Qing asked back.She has a strong character and won't admit it.
Liu Zhen heheed, and said sharply: "Then I'll hang up. I've been a little busy recently." The kind of open and secret struggle between sisters has been well known since childhood.
Liu Qing said: "Don't worry about hanging up. Mr. Jing of your major shareholder Phoenix Fund is very interesting. What kind of person is he? I want to meet and chat with him."
Liu Zhen said leisurely: "Jean, the offensive and defensive trends are different now! Boss Jing is not something you can see whenever you want. If you feel that Uber puts too much pressure on you, it's the same to chat with our Boss Qiao."
Liu Qing laughed and said, "Xiao Zhen, it's ok. We're starting to drag the text. Okay, let's talk about this topic in a month."
Hang up the phone vigorously.
...
...
At noon on Saturday, when the Liu sisters exchanged "ruthless words" on the phone, Jing Gaogang and Wang Shitou had a light lunch and sat chatting in the viewing living room on the second floor of the "Vanke Seventeen Mile" holiday villa.
In August in the deep city, the afternoon sun can roast people.So, the two sat in the living room, blowing on the comfortable air conditioner, drinking tea, and watching the sea view.
Inoko came to say goodbye.I mentioned it at dinner just now.
Wang Shitou was dressed casually: T-shirt, big pants, leaning against the sofa.His home is in Villa No. 12 not far away.But his relationship with Jing Gao was not close enough to invite Jing Gao to be a guest at home, so he held a banquet in this holiday villa.
"Mr. Jing, it's a good move for you to use Xiashang Real Estate to merge Canglong Group! The shares of the small shareholders in Xiashang Real Estate have been diluted, and it will be difficult to make any waves in the future. This is the same as Uber ( China) are two management styles. Great!"
Jing Gao just smiled and said, "I really didn't think so far."
Wang Shitou laughed, how could he believe it.His time is actually very precious, and his schedule is very full.But still stay in Jing Gao to chat after dinner.Because, with the support of Jing Gao, he has already taken the initiative in the battle of Baowan.
It's just that the outside world doesn't know it yet.Jing Gao told him clearly just now that he has acquired 15.6% of Vanke's A shares and H shares.And pass the account picture to him to see.All are below the 5% mark-up line.
As long as there is an order, Phoenix Fund will immediately become Vanke's third largest shareholder.
He was stealing half a day's leisure.And it happened that Jing Gao also finished his business in Shenzhen: Uber (China) had a great success in financing.Of course, Poly Real Estate and Overseas Chinese Town are not as important as CIC and CICC, but they are enough to prevent some people from using their brains.
Wang Shitou's thoughts diverged for a while, and he said lightly: "Mr. Jing, after this battle between Baowan and Baowan, I will retire."
Jing Gaodan held his teacup and pondered, "Mr. Wang, isn't it?" He asked Wu Jingshu of Jiuge Capital to complete the acquisition of Vanke's stock.The voting rights of this part of his shares are all given to Wang Shishi.
Wang Shitou sighed, and said, "There must be someone responsible for Vanke to make such a big noise. If I force myself to be the chairman of the board of directors, it will be annoying. I will be conscious and retire to enjoy my old age."
Jing Gao drank tea.It's not good for him to comment.This is a philosophy of dealing with people.Some people are indifferent when they are told serious things, and insist on letting reality educate them.Some people are very transparent when they speak a little bit, and know what to do.
Wang Shitou was quite open-minded, and continued: "Boss Jing, I have been visiting everywhere in Shencheng during this period, do you understand that the characteristic of entrepreneurs here in Shencheng is that they do not mingle."
Jing Gao thought in his heart: I really didn't see this.People are social, and there is no one who does not engage in social interaction.Especially for big bosses, networking is an inevitable part of doing business.
Seeing Jing Gao's expression, Wang Shitou said cheerfully, "Hehe, I'm not saying that you don't make friends. I mean that you don't mix in the circle of entrepreneurs. Everyone does their own things and makes their own money. Like Wenzhou businessmen, Chaoshan businessmen like to get together when doing business.
For example, Tencent's Ma Huateng, you can see that he rarely expresses in public.Mr. Ren of Huawei basically does not accept interviews from the media.There are also backgammon-based vivo and oppo that are very low-key. "
"This is actually the business atmosphere in Shencheng at the beginning of the reform: look at the money, look at the big. Who cares who you are. To sum it up: be slow in words but quick in action, be cautious, work hard, and don't join in the fun."
“I’m not very good at personality. Others say I’m arrogant and flamboyant. Others say I’m over-esteemed and sensitive. So, my circle of friends includes friends who climb mountains, directors who make documentaries, editors from publishing houses, and few business friends."
"I hope this battle between Baowan and Baowan is over. After I step down, we will still be friends. In the future, we will have the opportunity to sit together, drink tea and chat."
He is willing to make Jing Gao this friend.
Wang Shitou valued Jing Gao very much.It's not just because of money, but because this young man is really beautiful in his work!Before he even mentioned it, Jing Gao clearly stated that after the "Baowan Controversy", he would not become Vanke's major shareholder.
Such a young man, with such strong capital, will definitely have a place in China's business world in the future!
Jing Gao smiled and said, "Mr. Wang, it must be no problem." Wang Shitou's approval made him feel very comfortable and happy.
He is so proud that he is not someone who has an "empty stomach".After all, there is still something to get.This is the recognition of his "cultivation" during this period.He has moved a little further on the road to becoming a qualified Shenhao.
Wang Shitou just smiled.He is 66 years old and has seen a lot.Not a few of the good teachers and friends at first parted ways in the end.
At this time, Jing Gao's cell phone rang.
Seeing that Jing Gao was about to press the button, Wang Shitou understood: "Mr. Jing, you answer the phone first. We are just chatting, and there is nothing wrong."
...
...
Jing Gao got up and went outside the living room to answer the phone.It was that beautiful woman Ren Jiahui who called, "Boss Jing, you didn't tell me when you came to Shencheng, are you looking down on people? If it wasn't for Siyan, I wouldn't know."
The voice is nice, and the tone is as unruly as ever.
Inoko was a little speechless.He had a friendship with Ren Jiahui who asked her for help in Paris, France, but he really didn't have a friendship with Ren Jiahui who asked her to receive him after he came to Shencheng.Explained: "I came to Shencheng to discuss investment, so I didn't call you."
"That just shows that you don't regard me as a friend in your heart. Hehe, where are you? Come out and I'll buy you a cup of coffee."
Jing Gao pondered for a while, and agreed: "Okay. I'm at Longgang Vanke Thirteen Miles. I'll fly back to the capital at night."
Ren Jiahui said in surprise: "Tsk tsk, the mansion area! How did you end up there? Forget it, I'm in the urban area. I'll go to the capital with you, and I'll treat you to coffee on the plane. Save me a seat."
Jing Gao smiled and said, "Okay. I'll let Guan Guan contact you later."
...
...
After hanging up the phone, Jing Gao came back.Wang Shitou also just answered the phone, shook hands with Jing Gao, and said with a smile: "Yuliang and the others are here. I asked him to entertain you and see you off on behalf of me and Vanke. I can't even eat pork now. I won't join in the fun." .”
Jing Gao declined and said, "President Wang, you are being polite, there is no need."
Wang Shitou smiled and said, "Don't think that we at Vanke can just neglect you. What kind of politeness is this? When I was young, I really wanted to socialize, but my wife is very strict. Now I am old and weak and have no energy."
Inoko laughed.
While chatting, Yu Liang walked in with a 40-year-old middle-aged man.Say hello to Wang Shitou, and shake hands with Jing Gao with a smile, "Mr. Jing, this is Jin Rong, our vice president of Vanke. Where there is good food and fun in Shencheng, he is more familiar with me. We have afternoon and evening Listen to his arrangement."
Jing Gao said, "Okay."
