What's wrong with me being a rich man?

Chapter 180 Food and grass go first
Paulson, a big man with many halos today.

he is great.

However, to what extent can his strength and methods reach...

Yu Xing finds it difficult to have a concrete understanding, and feels that the current descriptions based on public information are distorted. As more information is taken in, the image may become more blurred.

As for the cooperation implied in this email...

What credibility do stinking short sellers have?
Yu Xing judged others by himself. Even someone like him deliberately put the wrong time for action in the email. Wouldn't someone like Paulson be even worse?

This really requires you to proactively assume the worst of the other person.

What's more, Tsai Ing-wen may not be in a hurry, and she may not be in a hurry, but Alibaba is still waiting for the money.

Yu Xing smoked half a pack of cigarettes on the small balcony that night, and took advantage of the night to think over and over again about the ins and outs of the matter.

Paulson is certainly able to temporarily control Sino-Forest's major shareholders and management, because there is strong pressure from the outside world about Shanfeng's real investigation. If they know the situation and do not unite, the assets in their hands will depreciate rapidly.

But whether they can work together to achieve the ideal state described in the email is a question mark.

In other words, what is Sino-Forest worth?
Its current assets are like a black box. Yu Xing can't figure it out, and Paulson can't figure it out for the time being. What if there are no assets that can be operated on a large scale after the company undergoes a comprehensive audit?
Assuming Paulson has contacted Sino-Forest's Chen Deyuan, can he trust everything the founder says after experiencing the company's scam?

After Guo Shanfeng's survey came out, it was found that people in this small group were basically in a state of mutual distrust.

Based on such reasonable judgment, Paulson has gotten rid of the most passive situation after receiving the research report. He can take a step forward according to the idea of ​​crossing the mountain peak, but he is not satisfied with this and has to take another step...

Yu Xing extinguished his last cigarette and shook his head. When there is no effective communication, it is all empty talk. The longer the time, the more factors there are, and the greater the changes.

The only thing we can confirm is the authenticity of the research report in our hands.

This authenticity is like a scalpel. If you push the tip of the knife forward forcefully, things will immediately turn from empty to real, and you won’t have to worry about anything.

Use what you are sure of to take a chance on something uncertain.

Yu Xing lay on the bed, tossing and turning, closing his eyes, as if he was back in his first local anatomy class, with his hands and knife shaking.

Later... just dissect more.

Thinking of this, half of the mental stress inexplicably disappeared.

The next day, Yu Xing, who had deliberately turned off the alarm clock, slept until nine o'clock and saw the latest news from Xiaoying that the share price of Sino-Forest had stabilized at 18 Canadian dollars, and none of the three major shareholders had shown any signs of selling their shares.

Just like the speculation about Paulson, the other two companies, Chandler and Davis, are in a black box, and it is difficult to know their real actions and thoughts.

After a rest, Yu Xing did not hesitate to change his mind. He just replied with a message: Everything remains the same, don't stay up late.

In less than a minute, he received a reply with just one word: "Yeah".

Yu Xing thought about it, and mainly to relieve Xiaoying's tension and to enjoy the beautiful woman, he continued to send a message: Look at the cat.

This time it’s the same word: get lost.

Yu Xing ate breakfast in a more relaxed mood, and received a cat note shortly after arriving at the office.

"Boss Yu, here are the meeting materials for this afternoon." Assistant Sun Manhe noticed the smile on her boss's face. After handing him the materials, she found that he had put them aside for the time being, so she smiled and said, "There is something good going on today."

Sun Manhe entered Bai Xiaosheng from the stage of "If You Are the One". She was planned to play the role of a "management trainee" and currently serves as the executive assistant to the president.

Yu Xing put down his phone and smiled: "Well, I saw a picture of a very cute kitten. I like cats."

Sun Manhe blinked in surprise: "Mr. Yu likes cats? I like them too. I have two at home."

As a woman, she was sensitive enough to notice that the boss's gaze seemed to shift away from her for a moment.

"Well, the cat is cute. Okay, I'll take a look at the information first and call you if there's anything." Yu Xing reached out and picked up the document he had just put aside.

Sun Manhe didn't understand what was going on. After walking two steps, she turned back and smiled sweetly, "Doctor, I'll show you my kittens at noon. One is Siamese and the other is a ragdoll."

She has just graduated from school, and the school is pretty good. It’s not that she has to do anything, but if there is something, it seems that she can have some more expectations.

After hearing this, Yu Xing changed his mind and said with a smile, "Okay, yes, Sun Manhe, in the next two weeks, you should consider which department to go to for training. You should choose a team that you think can help you grow better."

Sun Manhe paused, pursed her lips, and changed her address back to: "Okay, Mr. Yu, I will consider it carefully."

Yu Xing waved his hand and ended the conversation.

Sun Manhe walked out of the office, feeling a little confused. She wondered if it was an illusion, but President Yu seemed to have a slight change in attitude after she talked about cats.

She doesn't understand.

Could it be that... Mr. Yu doesn't like Siamese? Or doesn't like puppets?

Yu Xing, who was helping the management trainees to improve, simply reviewed the documents, but his mind was still on the matter of crossing the mountain.

The decision is the decision, and it will not change, but emotions will still fluctuate.

Yu Xing put down the documents and sighed, deciding that he still needed to prepare for the worst.

At the very least, Bai Xiaosheng's development is still a base for hope of making a comeback.

When Yu Xing thought of this, he prepared some food and fodder.

When the war was about to begin, food and fodder were sent ahead before troops moved.

Other food and supplies are also food and supplies!

I originally thought that Guo Shanfeng would be able to raise more than enough funds for Bai Xiaosheng this time, but now it seems that...interpersonal relationships with investors sometimes still need to be maintained.

Yu Xing adjusted his mood, picked up his phone, and started calling his dear investors.

In the last round of Bai Xiaosheng's investment, there were three major institutions, among which IDG and Qiming Venture Partners were both left alone. Yu Xing didn't call, and the two companies hardly asked about the affairs here.

Now, Yu Xing made this call, in the name of reporting the company's development, and they suddenly became cheerful and talkative on the phone.

Bai Xiaosheng has been developing very well in recent times. The growth of its user scale has not slowed down. Its growing reputation has naturally brought in traffic. Its recruitment business has already achieved extremely low prices, and has not caused any direct conflicts with Zhilian, Yingcai and Qiancheng. It seems to have played a complementary role in the industry market.

In this way, the entire company entered a stable development period.

With a company like this and a founder like this, why wouldn’t they be cheerful and cheerful?

Of course, Xu Xin is different.

The style of Today Capital is a little different. Xu Xin is different from the people of IDG and Qiming Venture Partners. She has some inexplicable business connections with Bai Xiaosheng, and the relationship between her and Yu Xing is very unhappy.

According to Xu Xin's own feeling, they are fed up with each other.

So, when she suddenly received a call from the founder of Bai Xiaosheng reporting on his work, she immediately stopped him after listening to just a few words.

Xu Xin asked cautiously: "Yu Xing, what tricks are you playing?" Yu Xing was amused by the investor's attitude: "Mr. Xu, it's me, the entrepreneur of your investment project. I want to talk to you about work, why are you treating me like this?"

Xu Xin asked directly: "You want money?"

Yu Xing denied: "No, I didn't mean that."

Xu Xin asked again: "Want to discuss the company's early financing?"

Yu Xing denied it again: "No, no, no, that's next year's matter."

Xu Xin was silent for two seconds: "Drunk?"

Yu Xing said angrily, "Boss Xu, why do you look at me like that?"

Xu Xin asked back: "Why do I look at you like this? Don't you know it yourself?"

Up to now, Bai Xiaosheng has poured a lot of complicated emotions into the development of this company, both actively and passively. She has never had such fierce and frequent quarrels with entrepreneurs.

It's not just a quarrel. The real Gongfu, which was messed up by Bai Xiaosheng, has now become a mess. After being seriously damaged, it is unknown how long it will take to recover.

It can now be said that Today Capital’s investment in Zhen Gongfu has failed.

Xu Xin has recently been looking for a buyer, but because Cai Dabao is still facing a complex and lengthy lawsuit, there is no hope of unloading the investment in the short term.

It’s useless, it’s really useless!
Every time Xu Xin felt disgusted by her real husband, she had to think again about Yu Xing’s tough attitude at that time.

Yu Xing listened to Mr. Xu's voice and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

I thought that as the queen of venture capital, you would be very broad-minded. But you are so angry now. How will you react if the Tudou incident gets out?

However, Tudou.com's origin is not Bai Xiaosheng. Even if there was no Bai Xiaosheng, it would still have gone wrong. Instead of that, I might as well take advantage of the situation to develop.

Yu Xing was unable to make these words clear and fell into a communication dilemma.

Xu Xin didn't hear the voice and just said, "If you have any questions, please find Liu Jiankai," and then hung up the phone.

"Boss Xu." Yu Xing sighed inwardly and adjusted his attitude in time. "I am a young and ignorant person. I often become stubborn when my brain gets hot."

Xu Xin was neither angry nor happy. Instead, she asked in surprise and sarcasm: "How stubborn can you be?"

Yu Xing had an example in front of him that he could use, but he couldn't say it. Whether I was stubborn or not, it would be over after you saw the mountain in two days.

He could only say seriously: "Boss Xu, I know you are more concerned about Zhen Gongfu's affairs. Bai Xiaosheng has developed very quickly recently. Our users have exceeded 100 million, and we are aiming for 150 million by the end of the year."

Xu Xin actually knew the development of Bai Xiaosheng, which was why she reluctantly let Liu Jiankai take charge and still planned to continue investing next year.

Yu Xing continued, "We are also working hard to expand our recruitment business in second- and third-tier cities. I just came back from the south these two days. It is precisely because of the development of the company that I increasingly feel that some compromise is needed in the process of handling company affairs. It is not black and white, and there needs to be room for maneuver."

A man's knees are made of gold, and today is the time to use it...

Yu Xing combined the development of his own company with a very sincere attitude.

Xu Xin was still suspicious, but said disdainfully, "Don't try to be so pretentious. Don't do these things. I don't care about them at all. As long as you can run the company well, it's fine. These interpersonal relationships are just a show."

Yu Xing couldn't help but laugh and said, "You have to act once in a while."

Xu Xin flatly refused: "No need! I still say the same thing, if you have any problem, just go to Liu Jiankai, I don't need you to do these things. If Bai Xiaosheng can go public, you will be worthy of yourself, worthy of your employees, and worthy of your investors."

Yu Xing said playfully, "Thank you for Mr. Xu's teachings. I am young and ignorant, so I hope Mr. Xu can give me more advice."

Xu Xin snorted, and finally said, "If you have anything to ask, find Liu Jiankai."

Then she ended the call.

However, although he repeatedly emphasized that he didn't want to bother with it and should go to Liu Jiankai if he had any problems, Xu Xin still called Liu Jiankai after finishing his work and gave him an extra instruction.

"Go talk to Yu Xing in a couple of days and ask him to come to our dinner party as well."

Xu Xin mentioned the team-building event for a company invested by Today Capital that was scheduled last week.

The reason for holding such an event is, firstly, that Sequoia Capital held an annual meeting of this nature last year and felt that the effect was good; secondly, in view of the lesson of the Dragon King Temple being washed away by the flood, it is good to have more exchanges between one's own projects.

At least, it won't do any harm.

Liu Jiankai was surprised and asked, "Why did you suddenly change your mind and invite him?"

He knew that the boss was really annoyed with Yu Xing. Only two companies were not invited to the dinner, one was Bai Xiaosheng and the other was Zhen Gongfu. Even LeTao.com, which he planned to invest in, was invited.

Of course, there won’t be any banners, everyone will just meet up to chat, sit, and eat, just to set the scene.

Xu Xin simply said: "Bai Xiaosheng is developing very fast. I don't think ChinaHR.com will be able to develop under Monster. Its boss has passed away. Maybe Bai Xiaosheng will replace it in the future. This will be very helpful for the listing."

The founder of the American company Monster passed away in November last year. The company is now run by professional managers and is undergoing a change in its senior management. It now appears that it neither pays much attention to ChinaHR.com nor has a plan for it.

Xu Xin feels that if this trend continues, ChinaHR.com will face systemic and comprehensive problems.

She had regrets about this company. She had always felt that it could go public, but it was just a little short of success. However, with the smooth development of Bai Xiaosheng's recruitment business, its upward path became even bigger.

"Okay, then I'll talk to him in a couple of days." Liu Jiankai agreed. Although the boss' words were based on considerations of profit, he felt that there might be some other changes involved. However, there was no need to ask too many questions.

Yu Xing received a call from Liu Jiankai the next day. He did not refuse this unexpected invitation. Mr. Xu said that he did not allow people to act casually, but this happened anyway. It was nothing to worry about.

His attitude towards investors is now very calm. He doesn't want to cause any trouble and has to wait for two days of actual testing.

At seven o'clock on Wednesday evening, Yu Xing received a call from Liu Wanying.

"I will email the other two shareholders tomorrow morning as planned." Liu Wanying finally asked, "No change?"

Because of the time difference, Canada's stock market will close on Wednesday tomorrow, and Guoshan Feng needs to use this time difference to urge the two major shareholders to get a head start.

Yu Xing smiled without any doubt: "Of course it won't change."

Liu Wanying didn't ask any more questions about this matter. She just asked casually, "What are you doing now? Are you nervous?"

"I'm not nervous." Yu Xing replied, "I'm looking at the big guys' solution ideas. Paulson's email is feasible, but we don't know whether he will do it. But I have to say that this has opened up my mind."

He said with emotion: "We originally thought that we would definitely win by attacking this stock, but we never thought that they could just take the stock away. Without this thing, what is there to attack?"

Follow the rules, exploit the rules…change the rules.

Although Yu Xing didn't know whether this knife would draw blood, he was still willing to learn more about problem-solving ideas from the big guy. Perhaps, it would be useful in the future.

Now that I think about it, Paulson, now the No. 1 hedge fund man, seemed to have lost his voice later on, which is definitely a piece of information that can be tracked.

Learn from his way and look forward to the future.
