"Haha!" Ren Zhi's categorical attitude made Ren Chao very excited. He slapped the table repeatedly, raised his beer bottle and said, "I'm so embarrassed by this sentence! Xiao Zhi, I told you that I have been bearing the surname Jing for a long time. "
He and Ren Zhi are cousins, but there is a huge gap in assets between his family and his second uncle's family. This is not to say that his second uncle has no conscience and will not drag his eldest brother after he becomes rich. But the second uncle’s property is too big.
Therefore, Ren Zhi, the prince of the Galaxy Group, said that he would take action against Jing Gao, which was much more powerful than his actions of beating the drum and spreading rumors.
The prince was so angry that he turned the world upside down!
Ren Zhi smiled and drank half a bottle of beer with Ren Chao. He actually knew Ren Chao's thoughts in his heart. He is very smart. Not only was he taught and influenced by his father in business, but he is also well versed in the ways of the world.
His cousin's dissatisfaction with Jing Gao was originally the same as his, but it originated from his dissatisfaction with Jing Gao's interference in his sister-in-law's marriage. However, after the "Financial Wednesday" salon, Ren Chao and Jing Gao had a direct conflict and were very dissatisfied with Jing Gao.
He was so dissatisfied that he had never been humiliated like this in public in his twenty-four years. There is also his deep contempt for Jing Gao.
A fund manager who was able to manage hundreds of millions of investments on his own at the age of twenty-four, would a top student who graduated from an Ivy League university in the United States look down on an unlearned and unskilled person like Jing Gao?
Ren Zhi thought about it and said, half explaining and half organizing his thoughts: "Ren Chao, I think about it this way. Phoenix Fund is certainly very powerful and has abundant funds. However, since he has offended Ali, I can naturally use the leverage.
Judging from the domestic ride-hailing travel situation, I judge that it is absolutely impossible for only one online ride-hailing company to survive. Not to mention that there are two online ride-hailing companies in North America. The most important thing for Didi now is not to counterattack Uber.
Instead, after obtaining new financing, we will maintain the market in key cities. No matter how rich Phoenix Fund is, how long can it burn money? The money owed must be paid back after all! At that time, the domestic business logic of the 1990s will be reproduced: the leftover is king!
The company I am managing now happens to be involved in artificial intelligence and big data learning in the Internet field. I will mobilize funds to become a shareholder of Didi and let Didi use its business to help me iterate and improve the algorithm. "
Ren Chao drank wine and ate peanuts, and said: "Xiao Zhi, don't tell me this. Every other line is like a mountain. Besides, managing funds is a headache for me, and I have to save my energy to deal with beauties. I just need Just know the result!”
Ren Zhi smiled slightly, stood up and went into the room, "I'm going to make some phone calls." This was his style, speaking and acting.
…
…
In the autumn season, the morning sunshine in Beijing is a little cold. In the 360 headquarters building, Zhou Hongyi, nicknamed the Red Lord, entertained Shen Nanpeng, the visiting head of Hongbin (China), in his office.
This visit was something that had been planned for a long time. At the end of September, Jing Gao entrusted Shen Nanpeng to help him sell 20% of Coolpad's shares in Qiku Mobile to 360. There are rumors in the world that Zhou Hongyi is very difficult to deal with.
However, neither Zhou Hongyi nor Shen Nanpeng, who are sitting at the coffee table drinking tea, expected such a big thing to happen last night: Jing Gao and Ali broke up!
Zhou Hongyi was 47 years old. He had an unattractive appearance, a round face, and glasses. He made a gesture to invite Shen Nanpeng to drink tea, and said with a smile: "Mr. Shen, Phoenix Fund is about to fail at this moment, why are you still helping him make this trip?"
He has grudges with LeTV and Coolpad. There is no grudge against Phoenix Fund.
In 2015, because LeTV acquired Coolpad’s shares, it was possible to take away control of Qiku Mobile. He said in WeChat Moments: Whoever stabs me in the back and tries to screw me, my principle is to go back.
Later, Coolpad suffered from diarrhea and its revenue plummeted. Naturally, he was sent back by the red-dressed leader. Obtained 80% of the shares of Qiku Mobile. Continue to sell his mobile phones online.
But as a business person, who doesn’t like to buy at a low price? He is willing to buy back the equity at a low price.
Shen Nanpeng is three years older than Zhou Hong. He wears a suit and leather shoes, and also wears glasses. He smiled bitterly and said: "I flew to the capital last night. Everyone is here, so I came to talk to you. No matter what happens to the Phoenix Fund in the future. , I am entrusted by others, and I am loyal to others. I still want to make this deal a success."
Zhou Hongyi laughed, gave a thumbs up, and said with emotion: "Mr. Shen, you don't know the pressure of facing giants like Tencent and Alibaba in the Internet field. I have experienced it myself. It's so damn painful. Me and When Tencent was competing, we all made a special trip to visit Tencent’s headquarters, but in the end the talks fell through.”
As he spoke, he shook his head with emotion.
The "3Q War" between 360 and Tencent QQ was a turmoil in 2010. In the end, the strong intervention of national departments made both parties compatible. Then, the lawsuit between the two parties lasted until 2014, when the Supreme Court decided it, and 360 lost.
Nanshan Pizza Hut lives up to its reputation.
Who is Shen Nanpeng? Senior investment banking elite and investor. One look at Zhou Hongyi's non-committal attitude and knew that we would definitely not be able to reach an agreement today. I also know what he is thinking. When Phoenix Fund cannot withstand Ali, will he ask if Phoenix Fund can sell it? What a bargain.
Shen Nanpeng's working hours are measured in minutes, and he immediately stopped arguing with Zhou Hong and said: "Mr. Zhou, the idea of Phoenix Fund is to follow the market and sell you the shares. They have no intention of intersecting with 360 Mobile Phones. I personally suggest that you recover your equity as soon as possible. As far as I know, after the Phoenix Fund resolves the issues of Uber and Didi, it will vigorously support the development of Coolpad mobile phones. Letting competitors hold shares in your company is a big deal. Taboo!"
Zhou Hongyi said nonchalantly: "Let's wait until Phoenix Fund can withstand Ali's dimensionality reduction attack first."
"Who knows the outcome of this matter?" Shen Nanpeng didn't force it, and said goodbye to Zhou Hongyi with a smile, "Then let's stop talking here today."
Zhou Hongyi sent Shen Nanpeng to the elevator entrance, watched the elevator door close, and then hummed a small tune and turned back. Hongbin (China) has invested in 360. This business etiquette is still required. He was already convinced in his heart that the Phoenix Fund was going to die.
How much pressure did he endure when he fought with Tencent? Alibaba, which can compete with Tencent in many fields, is definitely not weaker than Tencent! And what does Phoenix Fund have? The foundation is too shallow.
Therefore, he can definitely get this deal at a low price.
As soon as Shen Nanpeng got out of the elevator, his cell phone rang. He glanced at the number and quickly picked up, "Hello, Mr. Cai, hello." The attitude was very good.
On the other end of the phone was Cai Congxin, Alibaba's number two person. "Nan Peng, do you have time to sit down with us recently? I just flew back from the United States." Cai Congxin lives in the United States.
Shen Nanpeng smiled and said, "Yes, yes. Mr. Cai, I can arrange your time." There is a reason why he is so respectful. Of course it’s not because of Cai Congxin’s outstanding achievements in Alibaba or Mr. Cai’s wealth.
The real reason is that Mr. Cai is in charge of Alibaba's investment department: "Alibaba Capital." It is reported that Alibaba Capital’s capital is around US$20 billion year-round. He is actually an investor, how dare he be disrespectful to the boss?
Cai Congxin chuckled and said, "Okay. Let's meet in the morning the day after tomorrow. Let's meet and chat in the city. I'll have someone send you the specific location soon. Suddenly I realized that I haven't seen the scenery of the Huangpu River for a long time."
"Okay, Mr. Cai." Shen Nanpeng said a few words and hung up the phone, knowing very well.
Alibaba’s current person responsible for handling the merger of Didi and Uber has directly become Cai Congxin. It's not very scientific, there are those who directly send the second child into battle, but it's reasonable. Mr. Cai is in charge of the person in charge of Alibaba Capital.
Now that the wave is coming, dark clouds are coming!
Ali is already taking action. It is foreseeable that the storm is coming soon.
Shen Nanpeng thought about it for a while and called back, "Xiao Nan, please follow me quickly. We at Hongbin (China) will not participate in this round of financing for Uber."
He is such a realistic person! This is the thinking of investment banking elites: interests come first.
