My Age of Investment

   Chapter 1544 Proxy War

   After Andrew Mason left with an unhappy expression, Xia Jingxing also went home from get off work.

   After a while, the car drove to the gate of the courtyard house in Shichahai, and was about to enter the gate when a man suddenly jumped out and stopped the car.

  Xia Jingxing glanced across the car window and found that the person blocking the car was Huang Xin, so he lowered the car window, stuck his head out and asked, "What are you doing here?"

  Huang Xin was wrapped in a thick down jacket, put his hands in his pockets, and said with a smile, "Wait for you!"

   "Anything?"

   Huang Xin nodded heavily.

   "Get in the car!"

   Huang Xin quickly opened the door and got in the car.

  Xia Jingxing glanced at Huang Xin, whose face was flushed with cold and was still sniffling, feeling a little strange in his heart, so he asked, "How long have you been waiting?"

   "Not long, just an hour or two."

   "Why didn't you call me? Or you can just go to the hospital and wait, there is someone at home."

   "It's okay, didn't I wait for you?"

  Xia Jingxing felt that if something went wrong, there must be a demon, Huang Xin ran to the door of the house to squat himself, and he was still so pitiful, did he have something to ask himself?

  Thinking of this, Xia Jingxing asked, "Tell me, what's the trouble?"

  Huang Xin smiled, "It's okay, I'll chat with you."

   "Chat with me? Thousands of group buying websites have become one pot of porridge. Are you free to chat with me?"

  Xia Jingxing looked at Huang Xin with a gentle smile, "Hurry up, tell me, what's the matter?"

  Huang Xin looked indescribable, opening his mouth for a while and sighing for a while.

   At this time, the car had already driven into the garage in the courtyard. When Xia Jingxing saw Huang Xin’s appearance, he didn’t ask any further questions.

   As soon as the two of them passed through the front yard, Xia Jingxing heard the loud cry of his son.

   Before he could chat with Huang Xin, Xia Jingxing trotted all the way into the house, and as soon as he entered the house, he saw Shen Xinyi hugging his son and coaxing him.

"What's wrong?"

   "Should be hungry."

   "Come on, let me hold it, you go to mix the milk powder."

  Xia Jingxing was about to stretch out his hand when he was reprimanded by Shen Xinyi, "You forgot again, you have to wash your hands first."

   "Look at my memory."

  Xia Jingxing went to wash his hands with a smile, then wiped the water off his hands, and then hugged the crying child in his arms.

  Huang Xin watched Xia Jingxing carefully coaxing the child, and couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect you to have such a side?"

   "When you become a father, you'll understand. Hey, by the way, why aren't you married yet? Isn't the family urging you?"

   "Reminder, why don't you rush, the family's cement factory with an annual output of 10 million tons is still waiting for someone to inherit."

  Xia Jingxing sneered and asked, "Isn't it producing two million tons per year?"

   "Only you are allowed to improve your Forbes ranking every year, and my cement plant is not allowed to expand?"

   "Oh, then you have a lot of pressure to start a business!"

   "Don't make fun of me, I'm really in a dilemma right now! Start a family, start a career, and I haven't done a single thing well. It's not like you have a lot of children and grandchildren. How wonderful."

  Xia Jingxing secretly glanced outside the house, Shen Xinyi hadn't come back, and then said to Huang Xin a little displeased: "Hurry up and shut up, don't ask about other people's family affairs!"

   Huang Xin pursed his lips and smiled, and stopped arguing with Xia Jingxing, and began to talk about his own problems.

"Meituan's development speed is too slow. No matter how we catch up, the key operational indicators such as the number of urban sites, order volume, and user volume are lagging behind Lashou, Wowotuan, and full seats, and even more than the Nuomi.com that we established later. !"

   Speaking of this, Huang Xin no longer had the slightest smile on his face, and said very seriously: "If this continues, Meituan may be submerged in the tide of group buying and entrepreneurship."

  Xia Jingxing didn't go to see Huang Xin, but concentrated on coaxing the child, and after a long time he replied quietly: "Chen Yizhou, you can't do it?"

   "How can I beat him? Chen Yizhou is much better at finding money than me. I heard that he recently got a thick leg in his arms."

   "Thick legs? How thick?"

   "Not as thick as you, but not bad."

"Who?"

   "Robin Lee!"

   A smile gradually emerged from the corner of Huang Xin's mouth, "The group buying business has not yet been completely hit, and it has begun to stand in line and divide into factions."

  Xia Jingxing finally took his eyes off his son and turned to Huang Xin. He was about to ask, when Shen Xinyi held the bottle and entered the room, "Hold Zeran to me, you can talk about things."

  Xia Jingxing handed the child to Shen Xinyi, and then sat down next to Huang Xin.

   "Tell me, what do you want to do?"

  Huang Xin didn't answer immediately, after looking at Xia Jingxing, he let out a long breath, "Jackma is looking for me!"

  Xia Jingxing's eyelids twitched immediately, this old horse is not very particular about how he eats, and rabbits don't eat grass on the edge of the nest.

   "When did you get married?"

  Huang Xin was drinking tea and was almost choked by the words, so he quickly put down his teacup and said, "Daren, let me state first, I have always been with you!

   The reason why I agreed to contact Ahri was entirely because of... the situation! "

  Xia Jingxing nodded lightly, he finally knew what Huang Xin was here for, and asked in a calm tone, "What benefits did Jack Ma promise you?"

  Huang Xin didn't hide it, he explained everything in 1510.

   "... Jack Ma said that he could close Koubei, direct all traffic from Taobao and Alipay to Meituan, and then give us another $50 million."

  Xia Jingxing smiled, "The conditions are good, do you agree?"

   "Didn't I come to ask for your opinion?"

  Xia Jingxing turned his head, looked straight at Huang Xin, and suddenly smiled: "Don't go around the corner with me, tell me what you really think.

  I'm not the kind of person who messes around, Jack Ma is not an outsider, everyone is their own. "

  Huang Xin smiled slightly, "I think the same way, fat water does not flow to outsiders' fields, Ah Li is also a visionary company, and cooperating with them is not an enemy of capital."

   "Who is the enemy?"

  Huang Xin glanced at Xia Jingxing who was inquiring and said with a smile, "Those who are not from the Vision Department are all enemies."

   "The scope of your enemy is too broad. According to your division method, am I not the enemy all over the world?"

   Huang Xin smiled but said nothing. This point of view is not his original, but was raised by other people in the industry.

Envision Capital has a presence in every segment of the Internet, and the companies it invests in are also very successful. It is like a dark cloud floating over the Chinese Internet, causing some people to shout the slogan - What is Envision Capital? Don't vote?

   It’s still the same sentence, too many people’s cheeses have been moved. Everyone just dared to be angry with the powerful Vision Capital, because Sequoia and IDG who dared to do it have all been taught a lesson.

   The venture capital industry does not dare to comment on the "really domineering" Envision Capital, only the startups that are suppressed by the Envision companies dare to spit out a few words.

   Huang Xin said with a smile: "Now the industry is very wary of companies that have invested in Envision Capital, or they are resistant.

  Envision Capital is like a magnet, which tightly attracts a large number of high-quality companies together, and then the attracted companies can exchange resources with each other, which squeezes the living space of other startups to a certain extent. "

  Xia Jingxing spread out his hands, "So, doing it too well is also something that is...not to be seen by others?"

   "It's normal, not being jealous is mediocrity!"

   "Do you mean that you want Meituan to accept Ahri's investment, get Ahri's resources tilted, and at the same time wash off the label of the vision department, and then reduce the hostility of other group buying websites to Meituan?"

  Huang Xin said a little unhappily: "Daren, if you say that, you are looking at people through the cracks in the door."

   "Haha, I'm just joking."

  Xia Jingxing gradually put away the smile on his face, and said with a serious face, "Do you have to accept Ali's investment?"

   Huang Xin nodded and said, "Yes, only with the full help of a giant can we go from the second echelon to the first echelon in the industry."

   "You're still blaming me for directing the traffic of Domestic Holdings to Dianping."

   "I didn't, Darren, don't think about it, I really just want Meituan to develop better.

  Take ten thousand steps back and say that even if Meituan accepts Ali’s investment, isn’t Envision Capital still one of the major shareholders? "

  Xia Jingxing didn't say anything, he looked at Huang Xin's appearance, he should be determined to go to Ah Li's clan, the reason why he came to seek his opinion was to take into account their friendship? Or is it respecting the strength of Vision Capital?

   After thinking for a moment, Xia Jingxing replied, "Okay, since you have negotiated with Jack Ma, then you should accept his investment, I have no opinion."

   "Daren, I really don't mean anything else."

  Huang Xin seemed to want to defend a few more sentences, but was interrupted by Xia Jingxing waving his hand, "It's okay, I understand, development comes first, the company is done, it's good for everyone."

  Xia Jingxing really didn't mean to blame Huang Xin, what Jack Ma can give to Huang Xin, he really can't give it here.

  For example, the flow of domestic holdings was all directed to Dianping, who received investment from Vision Capital earlier.

  Dianping Dianping has raised a total of four rounds of financing so far, and Vision Capital has successively invested in three of them, and currently holds 41.56% of the company’s shares.

   Zhang Tao is also relatively close to Envision Capital, and he never worries about Envision Capital grabbing the class and taking power, and he is determined to follow Xia Jingxing.

  Compared to the "loyal" Zhang Tao, Huang Xin is a bit like an "anti-bones boy".

   But Xia Jingxing still understood Huang Xin's choice.

Nuomi.com and Qianxun are on the line. Domestic Holdings and Dianping have a close cooperation. The first echelon such as Wowotuan and Lashou.com are also developing rapidly. Only Meituan is not loved or loved. Eyes, choosing to rely on the past is a normal choice.

   In addition, Huang Xin is very self-respecting and ambitious at the same time, Xia Jingxing has his own concerns about whether Ah Li can control this knife.

   Originally, he had three pawns in the group buying field, Meituan, Dianping and Jumei Youpin.

   Now that Meituan and Ali have run away, Jumei Youpin will soon transform into a vertical cosmetics e-commerce business. Xia Jingxing doesn’t have so many troubles anymore. It’s good to focus on supporting Dianping.

   As for Meituan…

  Xia Jingxing gave Huang Xin a meaningful look, he believed that before long, Huang Xin would come back and hug his thigh again, crying and shouting.

   Now, the giants should fight a proxy war, and see who has the last laugh.

   Chapter 1549 is blocked. It seems that you can't write any plot about the fight between Eagle and Rabbit. You can only bury yourself in writing about the development of the industry, which undoubtedly severely limits the imagination of urban commercial novels.
