Idaka actually had no intention of staying for lunch. He saw with his own eyes that day that Professor Zhao said goodbye and left during the meal.
how to say? Modern society’s diet pays more and more attention to health and wellness, especially middle-aged and elderly rich people who have more taboos. Do you really think they eat "Arowana" like ordinary people? These people will not eat genetically modified soybean oil, rapeseed oil, and blended oil.
The family sometimes has to cook their own meals. For example, when he had dinner with Wang Shitou in Shencheng, he knew that Wang Shitou did not eat pork.
In short, if you visit temporarily, staying for a meal is quite troublesome. Professor Zhao didn't even stay for dinner, and Jing Gao had no intention of doing so. But when everyone talked about this meal, the hostess Zhang Ting invited him, so Jing Gao couldn't just leave.
More importantly, Mr. Ren hasn’t talked about the key part yet. Which part of LeTV’s assets should be added for acquisition? At least he has no particular desire to buy LeTV’s assets.
"Let's go!" Ren He greeted Jing Gao and left the study first. Ren Zhi followed his father and greeted Zhang Ting politely, "Aunt Zhang."
Zhang Ting nodded with a smile and patted his back, "Go ahead. I made your favorite salted goose." She deliberately took two steps back, spoke to Jing Gao, and said kindly: "I'm a little older. Please call me Xiaojing. Is your foot okay?"
Zhang Ting is wearing a blue shirt and cyan trousers. She is 1.72 meters tall, tall and graceful. At the age of forty-three, I have taken very good care of myself, and my skin is fair and moist. Has a mature, elegant and intellectual charm.
Very outstanding beautiful mature woman. this is normal. Generally speaking, the appearance and temperament of the second wives of rich men are not too bad. Now she is amiable and approachable, like a big sister next door.
Jing Gao replied: "Sister Zhang, it's okay." He suddenly realized that after nearly ten days, the bruises on Mr. Ren's face had disappeared. And the kicks he received were pretty good.
The sound of "Sister Zhang" made Zhang Ting couldn't help but smile. She led Jing Gao to the living room and said, "When I was young, Lao Ren liked to practice martial arts, playing with sandbags and so on. I haven't changed it since I got old. It doesn't matter how much you do. Take more responsibility for the present.”
Jing Gao felt ashamed. In fact, Brother Ren lost that fight. After all, he is a young man. He exercises for half an hour to an hour every day and plays football every week. His strength and explosive power are at their peak.
"Sister Zhang, you are too polite. Mr. Ren just gave me some advice on business matters, and I benefited a lot."
Zhang Ting gently pulled back her hair, and said with an intellectual and elegant smile: "It's great that you can chat. Lao Ren has fewer and fewer friends now. You are a young man that Professor Zhao is optimistic about, and you will come to the house more often in the future."
Jing Gao said politely: "Sister Zhang, I can do it."
He will finally understand. Brother Ren made an appointment at noon, and he had the intention of inviting him to dinner. In the final analysis, I still apologize for the quarrel not long ago. However, Brother Ren is a bit arrogant and does many things without saying anything.
What a very particular person!
This is also a bit like the custom of the capital city. Jing Gao's good friend Mr. Xie is a native of the capital. Probably the custom here in the capital is that no matter what happens, it must be settled and finished with a meal.
The Ren family's villa has three floors, but Ren He and his wife both live on the first floor. The layout is the style of a courtyard house. This side of the study is considered the "east wing". Come out of the study, walk through the corridor, and turn into a flower hall, which is the restaurant.
"You guys sit down first and I'll bring out the food."
After a while, Zhang Ting and the nanny brought out the dishes one by one. Very rich.
Jing Gao's favorite thing to eat is the plate of braised pork. Not greasy, the fat meat is soft, the lean meat is strong, soft in the mouth, and tastes good. While eating, he and Ren He were chatting about the LeTV topic just now.
Seeing Jing Gao eating happily, Zhang Ting stood up with a smile and put the braised pork in front of Jing Gao, "Eat more if you like. Don't take a nap later. Go exercise and burn off the fat."
Ren He said to his wife, "I want to eat it too." He was a maniac who doted on his wife.
Zhang Ting said in a funny way: "You can just be greedy. If you want to eat meat, just reduce your three highs." Then she put a plate of cucumbers in front of Ren He as if to comfort her, and said: "You eat this. I gave it to you specially. Made. Not a single piece is allowed to be left."
Ren He laughed and talked about daily life with his wife, showing a sense of intimacy.
Ren Zhi lowered his head to eat his rice, not looking at the old couple's "show of affection".
Jing Gao was a bit grinning. This is the feeling of being fed a handful of dog food. He understood a little bit why Brother Ren said that day: Since ancient times, there is only so much passion and hatred, and good dreams are the easiest to wake up from.
This man has reached old age. Second Brother Ren was fifty-one years old at the time, but his health was very poor and his temples were gray, similar to those of an elderly person in his sixties. Being able to have a woman to accompany and pamper you is happiness! Where are the ideas to “take care” of more women?
If I really break my wife's heart, I might end up like Gu Long: Before he died, he asked, why didn't they come to see me?
…
…
After finishing the meal, it was already around 1:30 in the afternoon when Jing Gao walked out of the Ren family villa at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain.
Zhang Ting's cooking skills are very good. In addition to braised pork, she also cooks several meat dishes very well. Jing Gao likes it very much. On the contrary, neither Ren nor his son ate.
Ren He wanted to eat but Zhang Ting controlled him and refused to let him eat. He was in very poor health and suffered from various chronic diseases. Ren Zhi is not very interested in meat, so he eats some salted goose with rice and adds some vegetables.
After finishing the conversation in the study at the dining table, Ren Zhi took over the second brother's place and escorted him out of the well. Ren Zhi is twenty-three years old this year. He is fair and fair. He has a calm and indifferent look like a wandering cloud and wild crane. He is always polite to everyone. But inside I am actually very proud.
The mountain path at the entrance of the villa is lined with shady trees and the environment is elegant. Jing Gao's emotional intelligence was developed early. He smiled and shook hands with Ren Zhi to say goodbye, "Mr. Ren, please stay."
Ren Zhi said bluntly: "Mr. Jing, I brought it here because I have something to tell you."
Jing Gao was a little surprised and smiled. Waiting for Ren Zhi’s follow-up.
Ren Zhi's expression was a little dull. He handed a "Huazi" to Jing Gao and smoked the pipe: "Mr. Jing, Huang Bai and our family are family friends. She called me and said that she had some misunderstandings with you before. Please forgive me." .I will be your host another day and buy you a drink."
Jing Gao was stunned for a moment. He had an impression of Huang Bai, a very beautiful girl who acted as the head girl in the bar and had a profound background. Xi Siyan couldn't afford to offend any of them. Apart from the $400 million that Cheng Yanxi and his circle behind him invested in Uber, and the mobile phone business that he just negotiated with Mr. Jia of LeTV yesterday, he hasn't made any news recently? Why did Huang Bai want to take the initiative to "resolve" the grudges with him?
Jing Gao thought for a while, but without refuting Ren Zhi's face, he said, "Okay. Wait until I finish negotiating the LeTV business."
Ren Zhi said obediently: "Okay. In addition, Mr. Jing, I have something else to tell you."
"Um."
Ren Zhi looked at Jing Gao and warned: "Mr. Jing, my sister-in-law is very good to us juniors. I don't want her to get any harm. You won't marry my sister-in-law. Why are you trying to persuade my father to agree to her divorce? Who can How can I tolerate her temper like my sister-in-law? At least she was in free love at the time and had a daughter. My sister-in-law is already thirty years old. After the divorce, how will she live the rest of her life? "
Jing Gao looked a little stunned.
Has Ren Jiahui returned to Shencheng to handle the divorce? Because he clearly rejected Ren Jiahui and Xi Siyan's love, he had no contact with them at all during this period. I don't know how she is doing. Listening to Ren Zhi's words, it seemed that Brother Ren had listened to his advice. But the result was that Ren Zhi was dissatisfied with him.
Jing Gao took a puff of cigarette and did not answer Ren Zhi. There's no way to explain it. Sure enough, it is "not close to each other"! It seems that when it comes to other people's family affairs, try not to express opinions. Even a well-intentioned suggestion.
He originally came to ask Brother Ren about the acquisition of LeTV, and they had a good conversation. It is estimated that even the second brother Ren’s tricks will be too much for Jabs. I also witnessed the love between Brother Ren and Sister Zhang. But I didn't expect that there would be such a "turn" before leaving: I would be criticized by Ren Zhi.
Seeing Jing Gao's silence, Ren Zhi nodded and turned back to the house. The pride in his bones was fully revealed.
Jing Gao threw the cigarette butt on the ground, crushed it with his foot, and took the car back to the University of Trade. He respects Ren He who taught him from the bottom of his heart. As a human being, you must respect your teachers. But he was quite unhappy with Ren Zhi's attitude.
Before, Sister Zhang asked him to come here often. He was indeed polite, but he was willing to associate with Brother Ren. This is normal. Everyone wants to be friends with awesome people. But now it seems that with Ren Zhi's attitude, he doesn't need to come back and deal less with Brother Ren's circle.
When something unpleasant happens, Ren always favors his son or him, there is no need to ask! This is also human nature.
…
…
In the next few days, Jing Gao’s life focused on acquiring LeTV-related businesses. On the morning of Friday, September 9, LeTV held a small signing ceremony to transfer 28.9% of its shares in Coolpad Group to Phoenix Fund. The price is $396 million.
Cao Danqing attended the signing ceremony on behalf of Phoenix Fund. This is also her first media appearance. The president and vice president of Phoenix Fund are both beautiful women, especially the vice president, which has attracted many comments online.
Then, Jing Gao saw some unsavory comments on Weibo and scolded the head of Phoenix Fund's public relations department. Cao Danqing should not highlight her beauty in front of the camera, but should highlight her capable and steady CEO style.
The image is not set properly! It's not difficult to not stand out in front of the camera. Wearing shabby black-framed glasses, the clothes are more conservative and dark-colored, etc. Of course, this is a small episode.
When facing questions from reporters at the press conference, Liang Jun, the head of LeTV Zhixin, said: "Phoenix Fund is an extremely excellent capital in China and has strong strength. LeTV and Phoenix Fund will continue to cooperate in the future. Friends from the media, please wait and see."
As soon as these words came out, the financial media exploded and asked for information everywhere. Those who directly sent emails or called to request an interview with Phoenix Fund, all this information was blocked by Qiao Shuang. If the big media can't be pushed away, it's up to her to come forward and say a few words.
On Sunday morning, when Jing Gao and Li Mengwei were listening to songs and reading together, Shu Xiaoya, the top host of Beijing TV, called Jing Gao, "Hey, Mr. Jing, I found that after I got to know you, you kept refreshing me. cognition."
Jing Gao answered the phone in the study room and said with a smile: "Teacher Shu, that's what you said! It seems like I am doing bad things every day. Is there something wrong?"
Shu Xiaoya said with a smile: "How can that be possible? I mean, I am surprised and admired by your achievements in business. Well, after graduation, a classmate of mine joined CCTV and was responsible for a financial program. He wanted to interview You. The Phoenix Fund has been making a lot of noise recently. Are you going to enter the mobile phone industry?"
Coolpad is a Hong Kong listed company, and holding nearly 30% of the equity in a listed company means control.
Jing Gao thought about it for a while and said, "Teacher Shu, wait for a while. It's not appropriate now."
Shu Xiaoya was a little disappointed, but she still smiled enthusiastically and said, "Gee, it's settled. I'll help him book an exclusive interview for you, a busy man."
Jing Gao muttered: "Okay."
After the chat, Jing Gao thought about it and called Jobs to give him a formal answer.
…
…
As the person in charge of LeTV Zhixin, Liang Jun is mainly in charge of the large screen ecology. At the same time, he also manages the mobile phone business. In his position, there is actually no such thing as mid-week and weekend. It's just white plus black, five plus two. Of course, the salary and equity returns are very generous.
The sun was shining brightly on Sunday morning.
Liang Jun finally found time for half a day to walk in the park with his wife and prepare for lunch. At this time, I suddenly received a call from Jia Yueting himself, "Lao Liang, come to the company now and let's have a meeting together."
Liang Jun said in surprise: "Mr. Jia, what's wrong?"
Mr. Jia sighed, "Lao Liang, I told you before that I am discussing financing with Mr. Jing of Phoenix Fund. He gave me an answer. The conditions..., in short, you can't think of it. Let's have a meeting to discuss it."
"Okay, I'll be there soon."
The same scene happened to other LeTV executives.
The scale of this meeting is not small. It can be seen that Mr. Jia was hesitant in his heart when faced with the conditions for opening the well.
…
…
In the first half of 2016, LeTV was aggressive and expanding rapidly. At that time, the financial media NetEase Finance made a report on LeTV’s core executive team: Jia Yuoting’s people.
Talking about LeTV's executives is like what a senior writer from the American "Business Weekly" described in the "Blue Blood Ten". Take this as an example of the capabilities and level of LeTV’s executive team.
The closed-door meeting of senior executives held by Jia Yueting at noon on Sunday included people who had been famous in financial news.
Included are: Liang Jun, who is responsible for LeTV’s innovation, Liu Hong, CEO of LeTV.com, Zhang Zhao, CEO of LeTV Pictures, Feng Xing, senior vice president of LeTV Holdings, president of LeTV Mobile, Gao Fei, president of LeTV Video, LeTV Cloud, strategic projects Department head Wu Yazhou, LeTV Sports Lei Zhenjian, LeTV Super Car head Ding Lei.
In fact, LeTV’s practice is to hold a cross-department coordination meeting at 2pm on Sunday. The person in charge of each business line will report. It is usually open until 8 o'clock in the evening. Today's temporary closed-door meeting will directly cover the usual coordination.
"Phoenix Fund's acquisition plan is: LeTV Pictures + Huaer Film and Television total 6 billion, and LeTV Cloud is valued at US$200 million, which is about 1.4 billion yuan. It plans to invest another 4 billion yuan into LeTV Automobile in three installments. First The approved funding is US$100 million. We can announce to the public that we have received a total investment of 11.4 billion yuan from Phoenix Fund.”
At the end of the oval conference table, Jia Yuoting looked tired and briefly repeated the conditions offered by Phoenix Fund. When he received a call from Jing Gao in the morning, he was cursing in his stomach. He settled Jing Gao in the bar, but the guy changed his mind later. It’s so damn hard to do.
Zhang Zhao said directly: "Is he dreaming? LeTV Pictures only gave a valuation of more than 4 billion? If the news spreads, I'm afraid those celebrity shareholders will scold him to death."
Wu Yazhou said: "Mr. Jia, 200 million US dollars to buy LeTV Cloud? How is this possible? Isn't he awake?"
Ding Lei, the head of LeTV Super Car, said: "Mr. Jia, our car project is running very well. We are negotiating with various investors for financing. We will soon complete the round A financing of about US$1 billion. He invested US$100 million. What is it? Just taking advantage of the situation!"
"that is."
"That's a precise word."
Mr. Jia took a look at his confidant LeTV Zhixin Liang Jun. Liang Jun knocked on the table to attract everyone's attention and said: "Everyone, LeTV is short of money!"
Someone immediately said: "Lao Liang, you can't sell your assets cheaply even if you are short of money."
Many people here are small shareholders in various businesses of LeTV. For example, LeTV Pictures, LeTV Holdings only holds about 51% of the shares. The person in charge, Zhang Zhao, holds 3.83% of the shares.
Zhang Zhao retorted: "Lao Liang, please listen clearly. Phoenix Fund valued LeTV Pictures and Huaer Pictures as a whole at 6 billion. The real money LeTV got was estimated to be less than 2.5 billion. Moreover, there is no way Let’s explain to other shareholders. For example, I absolutely disagree with LeTV Pictures’ valuation of less than 5 billion.”
"Mr. Jia, this price is not acceptable. If Phoenix Fund disagrees, then talk to others."
Jia Yuoting was wearing a black T-shirt and sat silently at the end of the oval conference table. He is an accountant and is very sensitive to numbers. He leads LeTV Pictures. How much money has he invested in total? 51% equity, investment 427 million yuan.
If it can be sold for 2.5 billion, it won’t be a big loss! Why was the announcement made on May 6 that LeTV planned to acquire LeTV Pictures not yet completed on September 11? Because the current environment in the film and television market is not good!
Moreover, LeTV Pictures continued to suffer losses in 2014 and 2015, accumulating nearly 1 billion. This year, another 1.3 billion in cash financing is needed to continue producing movies.
According to the financial statements, the assets of LeTV Pictures are 2.957 billion. The price offered by Phoenix Fund is less than 5 billion, which is still a premium.
Of course, high prices and high prices are really cruel! Bite into the meat. This was a price that made him very uncomfortable. He wanted to accept it but also wanted to reject it. Moreover, Jing Gao is interested in LeTV Super Car, but he invests in batches.
The person who came up with the idea behind Jing Gao is not simple.
As Jia Yuoting pondered, a group of executives argued with each other. There are still some people who prefer to sell LeTV Pictures. Although the Coolpad mobile phone brought in approximately US$400 million, temporarily easing the financial pressure, LeTV is still short of money.
Huaer Film and Television’s shares are all in the hands of LeTV, which is certain. The price fluctuates within the normal range and there is basically no dispute.
There has been controversy over the price of LeTV Cloud. No one would be willing to sell assets of US$1.08 billion for US$200 million. But I understand what’s going on with LeTV Cloud.
Liu Hongdao, CEO of LeTV.com: "Mr. Jia, the control of LeTV Cloud must be in our hands. This is a core part of our LeTV ecosystem. I suggest that this part be removed. The financing for our external publicity can be used to finance the mobile phone." Add in the $400 million from the side. The numbers are still pretty good.”
The meeting lasted until six o'clock in the evening. Jia Yueting made the final decision: "Sell it!"
