What's wrong with me being a rich man?

Chapter 170 Struggle of Interests
Dangdang scolded, Joyo accused, Zhaopin wanted to sue, 51job criticized, and ChinaHR talked about banning.

In just one week, if one counts the unpleasantness during the recording of the show, Yu Xing suddenly realized that the noises around him were indeed quite noisy.

He remained silent, did not respond on his own forum, and had no intention of defending himself through the media, even though a NetEase reporter happily came to interview him.

On Tuesday night, Yu Xing and Liu Wanying went shopping in the supermarket together and made another cooking appointment.

This time, Yu Xing was still busy in the kitchen, while Liu Wanying was eating melon seeds beside him.

Yu Xing talked about his recent public opinion situation and was quite complaining.

Liu Wanying commented: "You have become the target of public criticism. And what's more, didn't Ma Dian say that you are a commercial sheepdog? His private comments have not been leaked, otherwise it would be even more exciting. Boss Yu, I have a plan."

Yu Xing stopped cutting vegetables, looked at Xiaoying, and asked curiously, "What?"

Liu Wanying suggested: "Immediately announce your identity as the boss of Guoshanfeng, and the public opinion situation will be resolved immediately!"

Yu Xing: “…”

He looked at Xiaoying expressionlessly: "Yes, they must be silent, waiting for Jiang Nanchun from Fenzhong Media to find someone to kill me."

Liu Wanying raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "It's not that serious. They forged it themselves and didn't let others know. I guess the most they can do is find someone to break your legs."

"Then you will support me." Yu Xing resumed cutting vegetables. "You are an accomplice. Without your help, I can't do anything to him."

Liu Wanying smiled and said, "Just let your assistant take care of you. Why do you need me to support you? Didn't you say last time that she was very efficient at work?"

Yu Xing's heart skipped a beat, his hands kept moving, and he said in confusion: "Who are you talking about? Oh, the assistant I hired from the show, what's her name, Xu or Sun? Oh, I can't remember it all of a sudden."

"Tsk." Liu Wanying helped to remember, "Sun Manhe, Sun Manhe, I called you this morning but no one answered. But when I called your office, she answered. Her voice was quite nice."

"Xiao Sun is quite smart. I didn't want to hire her at first, but she performed really well on stage." Yu Xing said matter-of-factly, "I thought that even though the company is small, it would be good if we could have a prototype of a management trainee."

When he said this, he looked up and smiled: "She worked as an assistant for a while, and then went to other departments."

Liu Wanying hummed and said, "I don't care about this. Hongshun is no longer an investor of Bai Xiaosheng."

Yu Xing replied cheerfully: "Even if they are investors, they can't control the operation of our company."

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

The cell phone on the living room table rang.

Liu Wanying walked over and saw that it was Liu Jiankai from Today Capital.

Yu Xing had water in his hands and motioned Xiaoying to turn on the external speaker.

As soon as the phone was connected, Liu Jiankai's voice came out impatiently: "Boss Yu, don't scold first!"

Yu Xing sneered: "What do you mean? Who wants to scold you?"

"I thought you were going to guess that we were behind ChinaHR." Liu Jiankai breathed a sigh of relief and said so.

Yu Xing said: "You are just losers who failed in the bet. I know that. Don't worry."

Liu Jiankai was silent for five seconds before he spoke: "Mr. Yu... your words are just unpleasant to the ear."

"Isn't that right? Capital Today had to sell its shares to Monster, an American recruitment company, because it lost the bet on ChinaHR's IPO. Then it was purged and completely eliminated. That's all. How can I blame you?" Yu Xing wondered, "Is there anything else that needs to be added?"

Liu Jiankai: “No more…”

Then, he couldn't help but say, "Boss Yu, you were born to do intelligence work, right? Do you have to figure out everything?"

Yu Xing was puzzled and said, "If I don't figure it out, what if I scold the wrong person?"

Liu Jiankai: “…”

Yu Xing asked impatiently again: "If you have something to say, just say it. I'm on a date."

Liu Wanying next to her shook her phone, but due to its function as a phone holder, she couldn't speak.

"Uh, Mr. Yu, that, um, is about the progress of Bai Xiaosheng's recruitment business. The public opinion situation this week is a bit complicated. I want to see if there is anything I can help with. This area is related to our revenue expectations and is very important." Liu Jiankai quickened his speech.

"No, well, wait a minute, I'll send you some black material after dinner, and you can see if there's anything forged." Yu Xing said.

Liu Jiankai was surprised: "Who are you slandering now?"

"What do you mean by again?" Yu Xing explained, "You think the current public opinion is complicated. Actually, as soon as the people from 51job and ChinaHR came out, my private messages exploded. Most of them were about ChinaHR. Oh, and when you went public and bet against the market, you did some messed-up performance embellishment. Many people told me the same thing."

"Ahem, Mr. Yu, it's not us. I'm from Today Capital." Liu Jiankai said dissatisfiedly, "You are talking about Yesterday Capital's business."

This time it was Yu Xing's turn to be quiet. Mr. Liu was really good at applying what he had learned.

After a moment, he said, "Anyway, these two companies are covered in fur themselves, so don't call others monsters, especially the one from ChinaHR. How can he, who came from Hong Kong, ban me?"

"They are giving advice to the industry, Mr. Yu, you can't take it too seriously. Look, Zhaopin.com must be very angry because you poached Mr. Liu and Mr. Lei. Luo Bingquan started to ban them. There are only three big companies in the industry, and these are the two. And 51job.com, the only one that made a profit this year, he also spoke up. He definitely doesn't want to see his own business affected." Liu Jiankai analyzed seriously, "They do compete with each other, but neither of them wants to see newcomers share the pie."

He said sincerely: "Boss Yu, this is a dispute over interests. The world is dangerous, so we still have to be on guard."

The three major companies that occupy most of the market in the industry all spoke out during this period. Except for Zhaopin.com, which had a legitimate reason, the intentions of the other two companies were very obvious.

It was because of this that Liu Jiankai made this call.

"Okay, in this case we have to speed up the company's business." Yu Xing said without hesitation, "You have to pay to help. The company needs to advertise more. We have to fight hard."

When Liu Jiankai heard about the request for money, he said awkwardly, "Boss Yu, we are just having a good chat, why are you asking for money? It hasn't been long since the company raised funds, and the business hasn't been established yet, how can we possibly continue to raise funds for you?"

Yu Xing said bluntly: "If it is not integrated, then it is considered borrowing, just like when you were running ChinaHR.com and advertising heavily."

"Okay, Mr. Yu, if you have anything to say, please come to me." Liu Jiankai felt it was time to end the call, and added, "Don't learn from Yingcai.com. Mr. Xu is good at investing, but not at running a business."

call ended.

Liu Wanying put away her phone and asked with concern, "Is Bai Xiaosheng running out of funds?"

"No, Liu Jiankai and I were just joking." Yu Xing said with a smile, "We have enough money, and we don't want to do anything big like ChinaHR. We sell small shovels, and we take the cost-effective route. At this stage, on the one hand, we are building a team and improving the business, and on the other hand, we are waiting for the market to recover and spend more money in the next round of financing."

Liu Wanying nodded slightly, watching him chopping vegetables, and praised him, "You talk about the company in the same orderly way as you chop vegetables."

"Hehe, I have to thank my alma mater for its training." Yu Xing started to heat the pot and recalled, "When I was doing experiments in the past, I was the most skillful. I used the scissors parallel to the neck, close to the rabbit's smooth and delicate skin, and cut with a click, click, click, so as to create a clear field of vision. Then I used a scalpel to cut, and then used ophthalmic scissors and a glass needle to quickly separate the muscles and fascia to expose the trachea. Tsk, intubation must be fast, accurate and ruthless, and then..."

Liu Wanying listened to the description and suddenly felt that she could skip dinner, so she interrupted him and said, "Alright, alright, I'll be full if you keep talking."

She was going to stay away from the kitchen for a while, but before leaving, she suddenly asked, "Will you eat the rabbits after your experiment?"

Yu Xing replied: "Some rabbits are poisonous."

Liu Wanying asked, "What about the ones that are not poisonous?"

Yu Xing smiled and shook his head, "I don't want to eat."

Then, his smile turned a little strange: "Your brother eats sometimes."

Liu Wanying: “…”

She recalled that when she returned to Nanjing from Hong Kong, there seemed to be a dish of rabbit meat on the dinner table occasionally, but she didn't know where it came from.

Liu Wanying was lying on the sofa, trying to calm her disturbed mood. Suddenly, she heard the email reminder sound from the notebook on the coffee table. She opened the screen and quickly saw the contents of the mailbox. Her heart froze.

When Yu Xing cooked a small table of dishes and came out of the kitchen, he saw Xiaoying who seemed to be in deep thought.

He joked, "Why? Are you still savoring the taste of the rabbit?"

"How do you know I've eaten it?" Liu Wanying said unhappily, "I just got the news that Davis Consulting in New York has increased its holdings in Sino-Forest."

Yu Xing raised his eyebrows: "What about Paulson? Is he almost there too?"

Liu Wanying shook her head. "He hasn't made any move yet, but he should be soon. Although we have limited channels to receive information here, from what we can get now, Davis Consulting is very close to Paulson. It is difficult to avoid logic that it has increased its holdings in a Chinese company listed in Canada so many times."

She continued: "The consulting firm made the first move, which may be a sign that Paulson will continue to increase its holdings."

Yu Xing asked: "Does Paulson want to use his influence to push up Sino-Forest's share price?"

"It's possible." Liu Wanying nodded. "Paulson is very popular now. He made a lot of money from the financial crisis, but he still needs to make his funds profitable in the future."

Yu Xing changed his mind and said with a smile: "Let's eat first, and then we can talk after dinner."

Because of the movement of the weather vane, the meal was rather hasty. Liu Wanying was thinking about the second short selling which might come at an unknown time, while Yu Xing was thinking about everything.

After dinner, they randomly turned on a channel on TV and snuggled together on the sofa, with news from Wall Street and some news reports in front of them.

Yu Xing is a mute in English, but he can still read independently.

He listened to Xiaoying's analysis of Davis Consulting, and when it turned to financial news, he casually placed his right hand on the back of Xiaoying's hand.

Liu Wanying's voice seemed to pause for a moment, and it seemed like an illusion. But she silently switched from her left hand to her right hand, pointing at the key points on the screen.

Yu Xing nodded repeatedly in a serious manner, but his mind was already flying far away.

"Hey, hey, are you listening or not?" Liu Wanying asked a question, but still only got a perfunctory "um" in response, so she turned her head and asked another question.

"Why should I listen to this? I just need to know the movements of Davis Company. Just wait for Paulson. Anyway, your research report has been completed. Ouch, why are your hands so cold?" Yu Xing became bolder after a brief nervousness. He held Xiaoying's white but slightly cold hands with his left and right hands, "I'll warm them up for you."

"Are you doing the same to your assistant?" Liu Wanying rolled her eyes and tried to pull her left hand out but was firmly blocked.

"No, how is that possible? Oh, come to think of it, I remembered something. I wanted to tell you last time, but I've been busy recently." Yu Xing quickly changed the subject to divert Xiaoying's attention from pulling her hand away.

Liu Wanying knew that he was trying to divert her attention, but she pursed her lips and let it go.

"Bi Sheng has invested most of his money in LeTao. We talked a lot about vertical e-commerce, including exchanges with Xu Xin, and external confirmation." Yu Xing shook hands seriously and talked seriously, "But sometimes I lie in bed at night thinking about this. In fact, there is another angle that has not been considered, that is, the golden period of this special sale model."

Liu Wanying laughed: "Can you still predict the golden period of development? Shouldn't it be the starting stage? Taobao and JD.com can only take care of themselves, and there is not much competition from websites that help handle inventory in the domestic market."

"It's indeed a blue ocean now, but, after thinking about it carefully, this supply and demand relationship should still have another wave." Yu Xing said his thoughts, "The government is now loosening its monetary policy, and this wave of loosening monetary policy is bound to boost the supply of many industries. However, the market is limited. Once the supply exceeds too much, a large amount of inventory will naturally be generated. At that time, it will be the golden period for the special sale model."

Liu Wanying was stunned. She tried to move her left hand but failed, so she had to change to pointing left and right in the air with her right hand, as if they were the two ends of the most basic supply and demand relationship.

After a while, she nodded and said, "That makes sense. Have you talked to Bi Sheng about it? This should give him more confidence."

"No, I just took the time to think about it, and I haven't done a systematic analysis." Yu Xing said with a smile, "It just so happens that you are the boss of Red Falcon, and you will inevitably discuss development with Letao.com in the future. You can talk to him then."

Liu Wanying smiled and said, "Why? Are you worried that I can't invest in LeTao.com, so you're giving me some special treatment now?"

Yu Xing didn't say anything.

Liu Wanying immediately said: "Okay, Mr. Yu, you are very accurate..."

When Yu Xing blinked, his eyes seemed to speak.

Liu Wanying understood the meaning accurately and said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, as long as it can deceive Bi Sheng, as long as what he said makes sense, it will be good for LeTao.com."

"If it makes sense, it's not called guessing." Yu Xing emphasized this point.

"Yes, yes, as long as we can achieve our goal." Liu Wanying said with a smile.

Yu Xing was about to speak when the phone on the table lit up. He reached out and saw that it was his cousin Chu Zhiguang.

He frowned. His cousin usually wouldn't call him.

"Okay, I'll go wash the dishes." Liu Wanying withdrew her hand, stood up and left to clean up the dinner battlefield.

Yu Xing didn't have time to be reluctant to leave, and picked up the phone: "Hello, Xiaoguang, what's wrong? What happened?"

"Oh, it's okay, brother. I called you because you haven't come back yet." Chu Zhiguang asked, "I'm going to find Zhong Zhiling for a midnight snack later. Do you want to join me? Or should I bring you something to eat?"

Yu Xing: “…”

He said helplessly: "That's it? You usually eat and drink and don't even think of asking me."

"Yeah, I feel guilty today." Chu Zhiguang said cheerfully, "Are you coming?"

"You...you guys eat, I have something to do." Yu Xing suppressed his little emotion.

"Okay." Chu Zhiguang thought for a moment, "Then I'll just bring something back."

Yu Xing decisively hung up the phone, then stood up and stood at the kitchen door, as if he had switched places with Xiaoying while she was cooking.

"What does your cousin want to talk to you about?" Liu Wanying chatted for a while and suddenly remembered the phone call.

"He said someone is at his home tonight and won't let me go back." Yu Xing said with a serious face.

Liu Wanying smiled, and after cleaning up the kitchen, she motioned for Boss Yu to follow her.

Then she walked to the door, opened it first, picked up his backpack and handed it to him, and finally opened the drawer in the entrance hall.

"Hey, hey, I just said that, you can't just chase me away like this, right?" Yu Xing took the backpack in a daze.

Liu Wanying turned around and threw the brand new car keys over.

Yu Xing took it subconsciously and looked at Xiaoying in confusion: "Huh?"

"It's a gift for you." Liu Wanying's heartbeat was a little fast, and she said nonchalantly, "It's not really a gift. I originally wanted to buy it after this short sale, but when I passed by the 4S store a few days ago, I thought it was okay. I'll just consider it as the reward I got for your advice on this short sale. Well, to be honest, this is far less than the gold content of your advice. However, you were right last time. If I come up with something new in the future, I'll still divide it according to the current ratio."

Yu Xing looked at the Mercedes-Benz logo and said with a smile, "You said there were so many of them because you were afraid I wouldn't accept them or something. Okay, thank you."

This time it was Liu Wanying who was surprised: "You...you are so straightforward."

"It's normal. You touched my hand and gave me some compensation. I think it's acceptable." Yu Xing said seriously.

"Shameless!" Liu Wanying gritted her teeth, pushed the man away, closed the door, and shouted, "The car is parked downstairs."

Yu Xing also shouted through the door: "Okay, I'm leaving. I'll play badminton on Saturday night. See you there."

He put on his bag and turned around excitedly to look at the gifts.

Liu Wanying looked at the man through the peephole, seeing him throwing the key into the air and catching it. She guessed that he really liked this gift, and her heart was filled with joy.

She was sitting on the sofa and was about to look through her emails again when she suddenly realized the problem. She was the one who was touched on the hand and she was the one who gave the car away. What was so beautiful about that?

Liu Wanying hesitated for five seconds and convinced herself with the irrelevant reason that "vertical e-commerce will have a golden period."

As an unqualified investor, you should be admired for your insights.

……

Yu Xing got a latest model Mercedes-Benz S350L, but due to the evening time, he only tried out its power briefly.

There happened to be an event the next day, and he was eager to fully experience the roar of the V6 engine.

Then, the brand new car was stuck in traffic for an hour.

This was an experience that Yu Xing had never had when riding an electric scooter or taking the subway, but it also gave him the opportunity to study some of the functions of the scooter, such as the full LCD instrument panel, multimedia system, and cruise control...

Nowadays, it is indeed worth talking about, but...

It is hard for Yu Xing not to think of the development of new energy, which already has a glimmer of hope.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the founder of Bai Xiaosheng hurried to the venue of the Internet Innovation Conference hosted by the Shanghai government.

Previously, thanks to the introduction of Capital Today, Yu Xing signed up for the "Shencheng Rural Commercial Bank Cup" event for the top ten young economic figures of the year. This time he was invited by the media he had contacted before.

Yu Xing originally thought that today's event was just a formality, after all, it was just a local event. Unexpectedly, he also saw several well-known Internet practitioners. He realized that he still underestimated the influence of the city of Shanghai.

For example, Li Guoqing.

As luck would have it, Yu Xing sat on the left side of the aisle, while Li Guoqing was in the middle, not far away.

"Oh, you are that Yu Xing?" Li Guoqing also recognized the founder of Bai Xiaosheng.

Yu Xing listened to his tone and pretended to be confused and asked, "Who are you?"

Li Guoqing choked and some words were stuck in his throat.

After a moment, he took into account the public space of the venue and lowered his voice, "Don't you know who I am? I am the victim of your price comparison!"

Yu Xing looked at the person in front of him, as if reminiscing, and then hesitated and said: "I have troubled many people. Who are you from Ctrip, Zhenai, Lefeng, Zhen Gongfu, Hong Kong and Macau Information, Capital Today...?"

Li Guoqing saw the young man's attitude and laughed: "Yu Xing, your website will not last long. I really need to take a good look at how you die."

At this moment, someone came towards Yu Xing from behind the aisle with great momentum.

"Yu Xing! Please delete the rumors about me on your website immediately!" The visitor was filled with indignation.

Yu Xing looked at the unfamiliar man and was really confused: "Who are you?"

Li Guoqing, who was standing next to him, became more excited and chimed in, "He has spread a lot of rumors. Who are you from Ctrip, Zhenai, Lefeng, Zhen Gongfu, Hong Kong and Macau Information, Capital Today...?"

Yu Xing said politely: "Mr. Li, please don't fan the flames."

Li Guoqing immediately accused: "You still say you don't know me!"

The visitor introduced himself with a sullen face: "I am Luo Bingquan from ChinaHR!"

Yu Xing suddenly realized that he really didn't know him, but he had really found the right person. Today, Bai Xiaosheng made some interesting analyses of the Hong Kong CEO's work style in the company, which was quite interesting.

This is a strong suggestion from Mr. Liu Jiankai. When it comes to the struggle for interests, I will take the lead.
