Beijing, in the office of Yuanxi Investment Company.
Shen Jinyuan slowly lit up a cigarette, filled with smoke. Obviously, Jing Gao didn't listen to his words at all. But as a friend, he can only talk to this extent, and any further persuasion would be over the line.
After smoking, Shen Jinyuan called his assistant in and handed him a document, "Please pass this on."
The assistant took the document and said with suspicion: "Mr. Shen, we at Yuanxi are really going to do gold and jewelry business? Where is Uber (China)?"
He has been following his boss for almost five years and understands the company's situation. The company just made a killing on Henghu Pharmaceutical stock. Just continue to invest with Mr. Jing.
Phoenix Fund recently acquired Uber (China) for US$7.2 billion, which is unparalleled in the Chinese investment circle.
Shen Jinyuan waved his hand, put out his cigarette in the ashtray, and took a deep breath, "Uber (China) cannot invest. We need a new profit growth point. Go ahead."
The assistant went out with the documents.
…
…
The plane heading to Shencheng is still in the air.
Guan Yujia closed the information in her hand, turned slightly sideways, and said softly: "Mr. Jing, what Shen Jinyuan said there makes sense."
She sat in the seat next to Jing Gao and heard the content of the phone call.
Speaking of which, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are recognized as first-tier cities in the country, and naturally many Fortune 500 companies have settled there. During this time, she has been collecting public information on Wang Shitou, chairman of Vanke.
I want to go to Shenzhen to attract investment. This is the preparation she should do as an assistant. There are a total of 7 Fortune 500 companies in China in Shenzhen. The ranking of annual operating income from low to high is:
Vanke, Tencent, Evergrande, China Merchants Bank, Zhengwei Group, Huawei, Ping An of China.
There is basically no interaction between Vanke’s President Wang and these CEOs. There appear to be no reports of their personal relationship. The personal relationships of wealthy people are actually reported on various talk shows.
For example, the public knows that Mr. Guo of Fosun has a close personal relationship with Ma Yun, while Jack Ma and Mr. Liu, the leader of the martial arts alliance, are not on good terms.
She was worried that there would be nothing to gain from this trip to Shencheng.
Jing Gao smiled and took a sip of Coke, "Guan Guan, you underestimate the connections of the chairman of a leading domestic real estate company."
The Chairman said: We need to get more of our people and fewer of the enemy's people.
As far as the competition between Didi and Uber (China) is concerned, we must also adapt to this sentence. He does not lack money, but he lacks money with background and connections.
After taking over Uber in the past two days, he became aware of the regulatory issues that Uber frequently encountered. Liu Zhen puts out fires everywhere. I was interviewed by Rongcheng the day before yesterday. There may be another incident in Beijing in the next two days. Online car-hailing is basically a matter of "crossing the river by feeling for the stones."
Therefore, his strategy is to hope that Wang Shitou will help him attract some state-owned assets to invest in the company. When it comes to financing capabilities, Wang Shitou is definitely not good at it. If he could find a large amount of money, he wouldn't be in such a mess by Boss Yao of the Baoneng Department.
However, those who have studied Wang Shitou's business experience know that he can always find state-owned enterprises to help him at critical moments. During the dispute between Jun and Wan in 1994, he came to China Resources. In the current "baowan battle", Shenzhen Metro is ready to enter the game.
So just now Shen Jinyuan persuaded him to focus on "attacking" Minsheng Bank. He was noncommittal.
Minsheng Bank has two major factions: Hope Faction and Oriental Faction. Who doesn’t know about former richest man Liu Yonghao’s New Hope Group?
Where Jack Ma and Pony Ma truly dominate is in the mobile Internet and related fields. Outside of this circle, the other big guys may not sell their accounts.
For example: 360’s leader in red has to bow his head in front of Brother Ma. But Huawei does not look at the faces of Alibaba and Tencent! Not in one area.
Mr. Wang of Wanda has had verbal confrontations with Jack Ma on TV shows several times. Obviously the philosophy is different.
That's what Hope Group is like. Liu's richest man is taking the industrial route, not the Internet field.
However, what Jing Gao wants is not money from private enterprises! What he wants is funds from state-owned enterprises to come in.
Do you know what state-owned assets are behind Didi? BAIC, CIC, CICC Jiazi, Sailing Capital, CDH Investment, etc. These two "medium" font sizes are scary.
Seeing what Jing Gao said, Guan Yujia said no more, said softly "Oh" and looked through the information in her hand.
First, it is difficult for her to refute her boss. She's not a tough character. Second, she is still very convinced of Mr. Jing.
Jing Gao smiled. Next, it depends on Mr. Wang's arrangements when he arrives in Shencheng. Sipping a Coke, the pretty stewardess walked over to her again, raised her hand to call her over, and asked in a low voice: "Hello, what other drinks are available in HNA's first class cabin?"
The flight attendant knelt down and said in a gentle and clear voice: "Mr. Jing, we provide red wine, juice, milk, cola, mineral water, boiled water..."
I heard that Maotai was served on airplanes in the 1990s. Jing Gao waited for her to finish reporting. His eyes had already known her name from the nameplate with a fierce mouth. Of course, he didn't forget to eat the tofu he was supposed to eat. He smiled and said, "Miss Zhang, do you know me?"
The little flight attendant's pretty face was slightly red. She squatted down to order a drink for Jing Gao. Jing Gao's eyes were not honest and she whispered: "Mr. Jing, on August 1st on the Huangpu River in Shanghai, I will serve you on a yacht. waiter."
Jing Gao looked at the little stewardess again. She is wearing makeup, and her appearance is not the angular face of Internet celebrities. She has a round chin and a pure and sweet look. He doesn't look old. Many flight attendant majors are recruited by airlines in their sophomore year.
[90 points for appearance, 92 points for figure]
However, he really didn't pay attention to the waiter waiting not far from him that night. His attention was all on Xiaoyan and Guanguan. Later, I called Weiwei and the others. His clearest memory of that night was the phone call with Liu Sumei.
"Mr. Jing, how can you be so cool? You even send pictures of beautiful scenery to stimulate the fragile hearts of us young employees."
"Su Mei, you really can't recognize where this is?"
"How do I know if you're a prankster? Haha. Why did you run away from the devil?"
"The Phoenix Fund under my name acquired Uber (China). Our team went on a night trip to the Huangpu River to celebrate the successful acquisition."
"Oh, congratulations, Mr. Jing. Don't tempt me with your yacht, or I'll block you."
Thinking of Liu Sumei's "playfulness", Jing Gao smiled knowingly. Before leaving Beijing, she was leading a team to conduct a real estate marketing event outside, so she just gave her a call.
Jing Gao smiled and nodded to the flight attendant, "Give me a glass of mineral water." Ending the conversation.
The little flight attendant looked disappointed and went to pour water and bring it back.
"Thank you." Jing Gao didn't ask for her mobile phone number. Doesn’t that mean that he takes the initiative to strike up a conversation? This is really unnecessary. There was nothing about the little stewardess that attracted him. Just beauty and figure, he has seen a lot of them now.
Hey, am I a little drifting?
Guan Yujia, who was sitting next to Jing Gao, felt speechless. The situation is quite serious, but Mr. Jing is still thinking of teasing the stewardess on the plane.
…
…
At around 12 noon, after a three-and-a-half-hour flight, Jinggao and his party arrived at Shencheng Airport smoothly.
Guan Yujia contacted Phoenix Fund's branch in Shenzhen early. Several cars and company managers were waiting for us. This was set up by Xiao Qiao when Jing Gao went to Hong Kong Island some time ago to engage in financial operations to rectify Zhao Canglong.
Xie Wangzhen and Li Yifeng, who came from Hong Kong Island, were waiting outside the car.
Vanke's fleet is also waiting.
"Mr. Jing, you have worked hard all the way." Xie Wangzhen, fifty-four years old, with a spring breeze on his face and in good spirits, greeted Jing Gao with a smile. Xia Shang Real Estate used its small power to make a big difference, and carried out the "Snake Swallows Elephant" operation to annex Canglong Group, which has a market value of more than 20 billion. He has been responsible for this matter on Hong Kong Island recently.
Jing Gao smiled and nodded, "It's okay. I just got up a little early. Mr. Xie, when did you come here?" He and Xie Wangzhen never discussed matters from Young Master Xie in the workplace.
Xie Wangzhen said: "Haha, we easily passed the customs after breakfast."
Jing Gao just smiled and shook hands with Li Yifeng, "Old Li, you are getting fatter and fatter now."
Li Yifeng is still chubby, with a very standard image of a greasy middle-aged man. He said with a smile: "He has a broad heart and a fat body. Mr. Jing, congratulations on winning Uber (China) and becoming famous on the beach."
Jing Gao smiled and said: "Where is this? We have to win the competition with Didi. Let's go! Vanke's people are still waiting."
Xie Wangzhen and his party merged into Jing Gao's team and walked forward surrounded by Jing Gao. He's like a lion king.
The person who came to pick up Jinggao was Sun Jia, Vanke's executive vice president and chief financial officer. At the age of forty, he walked quickly and shook hands with Jing Gao, "Mr. Jing, hello. The media has been paying close attention to Vanke recently. Mr. Wang repeatedly asked me to apologize: I can't come to pick you up in person. Mr. Wang is in Shenwan. There will be a banquet waiting for Mr. Jing during the meeting."
Jing Gao smiled and said, "Mr. Sun, you're welcome. Please."
The group of people filed into the car and headed to No. 1 Shenwan.
…
…
Shenwan No. 1 is located in Houhai, Nanshan. It is a sea-view plot with a total of 8 buildings, a total construction area of 358,000 square meters, and a building height of 70-338 meters. A high-end urban complex integrating offices, residences, hotels and commerce.
It is a landmark building here in Shenwan. In 2013, 1 Deep Bay won two awards in the real estate industry in Kuala Lumpur. Some analysts pointed out that this means that the newly built Shenwan No. 1 has become a world-class luxury building.
The Shenwan Club is the top club located in Shenwan No. 1.
The membership here is not open to the public and is only issued to owners who purchase Shenwan No. 1 property. The entrance fee is equivalent to tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. Joint transportation management with Chang'an Club and Hong Kong Jockey Club in Beijing.
Jing Gao met Wang Shitou in the banquet hall, which was full of luxury and had a vast sea view.
Wang Shitou, with short hair and a gray beard, smiled and shook hands with Jing Gao, "Boss Jing, welcome. Welcome to Shencheng, the forefront of China's reform and opening up."
"Hello, Mr. Wang." Jing Gao smiled and shook hands with Wang Shitou, feeling his enthusiasm.
Wang Shitou said cheerfully: "Boss Jing, let me first introduce you to our Vanke team. This is our Vanke president and CEO Yu Liang. After this Baowan dispute, I will step down. He is our Vanke’s next chairman of the board.”
Yu Liang is 52 years old, and Xiao Wang Shitou is nearly one year old. This is a good time difference and is suitable for the handover. He joined Vanke in 1990 and won the trust of Wang Shitou, who once commented on him: "Delicate and down-to-earth."
Yu Liang and Wang Shitou have complementary personalities. His style of doing things with heavy swords and no sharp edges kept Vanke in order and without any chaos. He has been responsible for Vanke's affairs since 2001. Quite a powerful person.
Yu Liang smiled slightly and said restrainedly: "Hello, Boss Jing." Of course he knew very well that these were reinforcements brought by Boss Wang. They will not be kicked out by the Baoneng system.
Jing Gao smiled and nodded, "Hello, Mr. Yu."
Wang Shitou was accompanied by five senior executives. After introducing each other and chatting for a moment, Wang Shitou made a gesture, and a Vanke executive stood up and went out to tell the waiter to serve the food.
