How did I become a god

Chapter 304 Talks

At the beginning of October 2016, there were rumors that Jing Gao, the real controller of Phoenix Fund, might have more net worth than Ma Yun.

This is a very shocking inference.The reason why the word "possible" is used is because neither Phoenix Fund nor Jiuge Capital is listed, and no one knows how many shares he owns.

Judging from the public acquisition actions of Phoenix Fund and Jiuge Capital, Jing Gao spent a total of more than 200 billion US dollars in half a year.This is a very astonishing figure.

However, does this mean that Xie Shihuang, who holds an important position in the Ali department, will take this upstart seriously when he sees Jing Gao?

Judging from Xie Shihuang's behavior of drinking morning tea at this time, this can show his life-like side and create a good atmosphere for the talks later.It can also be understood that he is very neglectful of Jing Gao, putting on the airs of a senior and a leader.

Brother Dong told a short story in an interview.One year there was the Wuzhen Internet Conference.Ma Yun came in from the outside, Brother Dong greeted Ma Yun, it was the first time they met, Ma Yun said, "Oh, you are Liu Qiangdong, so young."

Feng Qingyang, the number one master in the rivers and lakes, still has a lot of style.

You can see the leopard in the tube, and the details can see the overall situation.

The sun shines on the bright, elegant and spacious box, bringing the tranquility of autumn.At the big round dining table, Xie Shihuang slowly wiped his mouth with a towel, got up and shook hands with Jing Gao, and said with a smile, "Boss Jing, would you like some morning tea?"

Jing Gao refused with a smile: "Mr. Xie, thank you. I have already had breakfast." He made breakfast for Weiwei in the morning.Make two whole wheat breads in a bread machine, fry two poached eggs, and heat two cups of milk.Cooking Western food is mainly fast.

Xie Shihuang nodded, made a gesture to invite Jing Gao to sit down, and said: "My work and rest time is late, I can't compare with you young people. Forgive me. I have already notified Xiao Cheng and Xiao Liu, and we will talk when they arrive. "

Jing Gao said happily: "Okay."

Xie Shihuang was eating "breakfast" while chatting with Jing Gao, "When was Mr. Jing born? Basically, you can't find your information on the Internet. Not even Baidu Encyclopedia and Sogou Encyclopedia."

Jing Gao took out two mobile phones from his handbag and put them on the dining table. He smiled and said, "I'm from 89."

Baidu and Phoenix Fund cooperate on Uber.I have to give this face.Sogou, Weibo, and Toutiao are all discussed by people from the public relations department.

Xie Shihuang glanced at Jing Gao's mobile phone on the dining table, and smiled.In that smile, it was as if some sustained oppression in the air was dissipating.He called the waiter and took away the snacks and tea in front of him.Serve another two cups of tea and chat with Jing Gao.

"Boss Jing, you bought Coolpad but didn't use Coolpad's phone?"

Jing Gao said: "It's useless for the time being. The management team of Coolpad is still working together." Coolpad is in Shencheng, and he let Wu Jingshu of Jiuge Capital take care of it.He has already sent an email to Wu Jingshu, wanting to replace [-]% of Coolpad's executives.

Nonsense, these people made the Coolpad mobile phone into such a ghost, except for the responsibility of the founder and former chairman of Coolpad, these people's abilities are very limited.Jing Gao is preparing to recruit more executives from Huawei, vivo, and oppo.

Xie Shihuang was just talking about this, not accusing Jing Gao of anything, he reminded: "Mr. Jing, I heard some rumors recently, you should pay attention to them.

Some people say that you like to do business with political factors and personal preferences.Say you are very dissatisfied with some people over there.You once criticized Li Kaifu semi-openly in the entrepreneurial circle in Shencheng.It caused him to set up obstacles for you to enter the shared bicycle industry.

Therefore, I predict that if you enter the mobile phone industry, Foxconn will probably not OEM for you.Or will give you a very harsh price.Do you know what Guo Taiming said in the face-to-face election last year?He said, he gave us food.

Which of us Chinese will be comfortable listening to this? "

Jing Gao smiled softly, put the teacup in his hand on the dining table, and said loudly: "Mr. Xie is too euphemistic! In my opinion, the surname Guo just doesn't know the heights of the heavens and the earth. What face does he have in a sweatshop to brag about?" Forced? Who feeds whom?

Furthermore, I am not the only one who scolds people surnamed Li.Colonel Dai also scolded him back then.This kind of person must not be regarded as the entrepreneurial idol of Chinese youth!

All, some people don't look at the joy of dancing now, they will make lists in the future.On this point, Wanwan is not as smart as the Japanese people.The elites in Japan know that in the future we will completely liquidate them and finish what the Tokyo Trial did not do.

Of course, after all, it is one country with two wisdoms.I understand. "

The way Xie Shihuang looked at Jing Gao changed a bit.To be honest, who doesn't have a sense of family and country?Especially now that the country is getting stronger, more prosperous and more prosperous.But to do business, we really need to dilute these things and take the pursuit of profit as the first goal.

Xie Shihuang raised his teacup, replaced wine with tea, invited Jing Gao to have a sip, sighed, and said, "Mr. Jing, I need to remind you. Your attitude may make it difficult to make your mobile phone work. Zhang Zhongmou of TSMC is a diehard. Chip foundry, TSMC will probably not allocate his production capacity to you.

It is not a big problem for you to sell tens of millions of mobile phones a year. There must be channels to get goods along the coast.But if you want to become the top five domestic mobile phone manufacturers, then the problem is big.Chips from second-hand channels are of course not as cheap as placing orders directly with manufacturers.

Not to mention the problem that chip design needs to be manufactured. "

Some self-media are pure fucking idiots, and they even say that TSMC is a Chinese company, so what.Let your mother's ass go!Do you know who made SMIC half-dead?Do you know who sued SMIC in the United States?
TSMC.

If this bastard company is not killed, it will be difficult for China's chip manufacturing industry to rise.Because he occupies nearly half of the world's chip foundry share.If the chip manufacturing industry is not good, it will not solve the problem of Americans getting stuck.

Jing Gao nodded, expressing his understanding, raised his teacup, took a sip of tea in return for Xie Shihuang, and asked, "Mr. Xie, where did you hear such rumors about me?"

Xie Shihuang laughed, "Then there are many sources." He laughed and refused to tell Jing Gao.In fact, he clearly knew the source of the rumors.

They are all messing around in the rivers and lakes, not seeing them when they look up.Even if Jing Gao criticized some people by name and name semi-publicly in Shencheng, how could it spread so quickly?Someone behind the scenes is fueling the flames!

As far as he knew, the recent wave of rumors about Jing Gao was spread by Ren Chao, a private equity fund manager in Shanghai.Anyway, this time it was the person who danced the most.

A manager of a private equity fund is insignificant in the arena.But this person's identity is a bit special.He is Ren He's nephew of Galaxy Group.

...

...

Jing Gao and Xie Shihuang were chatting here, and Cheng Wei and Liu Qing came in under the leadership of manager Du Zhijie.

The two are fat and thin, a man and a woman, complementing each other.The two of them have indeed cooperated very well in the operation of Didi.

"Mr. Xie, hello."

The sunshine in the morning makes the time in the box of "Jiangnan Pavilion" alternate.Elegant furnishings reflect shadows.

At the dining table by the window, Xie Shihuang stood up early, shook hands with Cheng Wei and Liu Qing respectively, and then introduced: "Xiao Cheng, Xiao Liu, this is President Jing of the Phoenix Fund. You are young and promising!"

Cheng Wei adjusted his glasses, and with a smile on his fair face, he shook hands with Jing Gao, exchanged greetings, and said politely, "Boss Jing, it's the first time we meet, please give me your advice."

Liu Qing looked at Jing Gao with a complicated expression.In fact, she had contacted Jing Gao twice behind Cheng Wei's back.They all appointed her junior sister Guo Lingyu at Harvard as the representative.But the strengths of Didi and Uber are constantly changing.At this point, the offensive and defensive momentum is different!
Cheng Wei is considered young among successful entrepreneurs, but he is also 34 years old.And Liu Qing was 39 years old.

Jing Gao was 27 years old at the time, and he was in the prime of his life. He smiled and shook hands with Cheng Wei, "Mr. Cheng is polite." Then he shook hands with Liu Qing.

Xie Shihuang waited for the three of them to finish greeting with a smile, and made a gesture to invite: "Everyone sit down. Everyone sit down. I just chatted with Mr. Jing for a while, now let's get straight to the point. Didi and Uber merged It is the trend of the times. In the past one and a half months, Uber has gained an astonishing market share, and its market share in the country has surpassed that of Didi.

Mr. Jing, how do you plan to acquire Didi?Or, to put it more bluntly, how do you plan to arrange the excellent team of Xiao Cheng and Xiao Liu. "

The three of them looked at Jing Gao with burning eyes.

Jing Gao looked around, his eyes gliding over the faces of the three of them, and said calmly: "I hope Mr. Cheng and Mr. Liu and the core team will resign. Of course, I can set aside half a year to a year as a buffer. Your stocks It’s all the normal way.”

Cheng Wei and Liu Qing looked at each other, disappointed.Obviously, this is the worst result of the two people's calculations.

Xie Shihuang asked Jing Gao to talk about the plan first. One was that he had a good chat with Jing Gao, so there was no need to put on an aggressive posture.One is negotiating skills.He can go back and "correct" a bit.At this time, he said: "Boss Jing, do you think this is okay?"

Jing Gao looked at Xie Shihuang, and took a sip of tea slowly.

Xie Shihuang said: "After the merger of the new Uber, the shareholding will definitely be very dispersed. It is very difficult for Phoenix Fund to continue to hold or account for more than 30% of the shares. So, what is used to ensure control?
You said in Shanghai that you should use the AB share model.But this is the only way to use it after listing.What about before going public in the US?Have you considered referring to our Alibaba model and setting the number of board members to control the model. "

Jing Gao pondered slightly.

The well-known "Alibaba model", Jing Gao has not been doing nothing in recent years.Of course there is some understanding of this.It's all over the internet.

According to the well-known practice, the general meeting of shareholders selects the directors, and then elects the chairman of the board of directors.The Alibaba management team headed by Ma Yun has very few shares. What should I do if I want to guarantee the company's controlling stake?
According to Ali's articles of association, Alibaba's directors are elected by Ali's partners.Note that it is a partnership, not a general meeting of shareholders.That is to say, the amount of equity cannot determine the number of board seats.

Then some people will say, I want to amend the articles of association of the company.no problem.Amendments to the Articles of Association require the approval of 95% of the shares.So, how much equity does Ma Yun own in Ali?You all know it! 8.9%.Later, it will reduce its holdings by 7%.

Xie Shihuang is now suggesting that Jing Gao adopt this model.Before Uber completes the next round of large-scale financing, Phoenix Fund now still holds nearly 80% of Uber's shares, enough to amend the company's articles of association.

The vote required to amend the articles of association stipulated by a general company is two-thirds.

Therefore, from this point of view, Ali's corporate governance is more advanced than that of Vanke.Vanke's management team now maintains control over the company not by the charter or system, but by the support of state-owned enterprise shareholders.Of course, Vanke has historical reasons.

Jing Gao shook his head gently, and refused: "Mr. Xie, I don't plan to implement the partnership system in Uber. With Uber's situation, it is very difficult to implement. Mr. Cheng and Mr. Liu are very good, but I don't want the company Internal friction in the future."

He really needs to think more deeply about the issue of control.Phoenix Fund's equity in Uber, if it merges with Didi, it will be really difficult to control.In Uber's management team, there are actually many contradictions.If there is capital to play the game, these people may not listen to him.

And if Cheng Wei and Liu Qing are left behind to join the board of directors, it's really hard to say who this "new Uber" will be.

Xie Shihuang frowned slightly.He noticed Jinggao's character: stubborn!This word is used to describe a very famous person in history.who?Wang Anshi!Wang Shu Wang's nickname is "Yu Xianggong".

What did you say: the changes of the sky are not enough to fear, the words of people are not enough to be sympathetic, and the laws of the ancestors are not enough to abide by.Realize that the word "拒" is not just stubborn and stubborn.There is also the meaning of being brave and not afraid of wind and rain.

Xie Shihuang sighed softly, and said, "Mr. Jing, Mr. Ma is very concerned about Uber's merger with Didi. Xiao Cheng is a talent from our Alibaba."

It was a last resort, he really didn't want to speak so clearly.Too low end!Didn't Jing Gao know that he came here on behalf of Teacher Ma?

Jing Gao nodded and said, "Then let me think about it." He got up, took his leave and left.

...

...

Inoko left.The atmosphere in Jiangnan Pavilion was somewhat dull.

Xie Shihuang sipped his tea, meditating slightly.Is today's meeting a failure or a success?
And Cheng Wei and Liu Qing have a lot to say, so it's not easy to discuss it in front of Xie Shihuang.There is no doubt that Jing Gao's "choice" hit them very hard.

Teacher Liu Huan sang a very popular song back then: Seeing success or failure, life is heroic, but it’s just a matter of starting all over again.

However, anyone who has really reached a high position in the workplace understands: there is no second chance!In many cases, a person's time, energy and opportunities can only support one brilliant career.

Just like Cheng Wei, he can withdraw with money and stocks, but can he create another Didi that is valued at tens of billions of dollars?Impossible.

Just like Liu Qing, she is a professional manager, she is nearly 40 years old, and she can still fight for the second-in-command position in a large company with social influence?is it possible?Being the boss is stupid!Impossible.

Xie Shihuang put down his tea cup, glanced at the two of them, and said, "Don't worry, both of you. Jing Gao hasn't made a final decision yet. Phoenix Film and Television will hold a shareholder meeting and banquet at the Pangu Seven Star Hotel the night after tomorrow. I will have a big meeting with Ali. Let's communicate with Wenyu's classmates to see if they can find out his tone.

If he really wants to go to the last step, if he insists on not giving Teacher Ma face, then we'll just wait and see!Our Ali company is open to both of you. "

"Mr. Xie, thank you."

"Mr. Xie, thank you."

Cheng Wei and Liu Qing stood up to thank them.The solicitation promise from Xie Shihuang's mouth is still very important.

...

...

Not long after Jing Gao drove out of the Xianghe Golf Club, he received a call from his assistant Guan Yujia, "Boss Jing, how did the conversation go?"

Jing Gao had just been delayed for a while in applying for a membership card at Xianghe Golf Club.Just kidding, when a distinguished guest like Jing Gao came to the door and asked casually about coming again, would Du Zhijie say: Sorry, Mr. Jing, we have a threshold for membership here.

Isn't that bullshit?How can there be such a business?
The black Audi slowly followed the traffic flow towards Guomao.At around 10 am, the traffic on the street was relatively deserted and busy.

Jing Gao was wearing a bluetooth headset, answered the phone, heard Guan Guan's warm voice, felt inexplicably comfortable, and said, "The conversation has collapsed." He said "considering it" in front of Xie Shihuang was just an excuse, he would never make any concessions.

Guan Yujia was extremely surprised, "The conversation has collapsed?"

Jing Gao explained the situation again, and said firmly: "Did I pay such a high price to make wedding clothes for others in the end? Mr. Ma doesn't have such a big face with me."

Guan Yujia said worriedly: "Brother Jing, then we will offend two consortium-level companies, Ali and Yinhe, respectively. The pressure will be very heavy."

Jing Gao smiled lightly, and said: "My silly girl, there is warmth and tenderness in business, and it's your life and death! This treatment shows that I have reached the core stage of the business field. Let's talk about it when we meet. I want to change Take a look at Uber’s structure.”

After hanging up the phone, Jing Gao looked out of the car window while waiting for the traffic light: the tall buildings entered the clouds, one after another.Where is he in this bustling city?
Inoko pursed his lips lightly.
