On the third day, Chen Qingshuang made a rough summary of the conversation between Jing Gao and Tang Xuan in the car. It was about 5,000 words and used as an internal document and speech within the Phoenix Group. With Jing Gao's consent, it was presented as the president. Issued in the name of the office.
After Jing Gao talked about Phoenix Group's status in the world and its position among Internet giants, he also added some missing parts of comparison.
“Uber’s current valuation in the capital market is around US$50 billion. Phoenix Group controls such a giant in the travel field, why do I think we can be on the same level as Baidu?
The reason lies in the prestige created by Phoenix Fund! In the world of the Internet, venture capital plays a very important role. The stocks of many Internet giants are in the hands of venture capital and capital. Basically, I have fixed every venture capital firm in the Internet space.
Phoenix Fund is a venture capital firm on the same level as Alibaba Capital and Tencent Investment Department!
Over the past year, we have invested in Bilibili, controlled Sina and Weibo, invested in Insight Network and other targets. Of course, the most important thing is the two projects we are currently incubating: Orange Takeaway and Xiaoyuan Bicycle. "
"Baidu's current stock price is hovering around US$180, and its overall market value is approximately US$62 billion. As an old Internet giant, in addition to search, they still have many Internet tracks. For example: Baidu Maps, iQiyi, Baidu Cloud , autonomous driving, etc.
But they fall short in foreign investment. After Lu Qi became CEO, they proposed all in ai. Overall, Baidu is in decline. The advantages of their core search technology are being weakened in the context of mobile Internet and big data applications. Unless, autonomous driving can be popularized within five years. "
"So, what is our advantage over Byte Slider? Douyin far surpasses Kuaishou and other platforms in the field of short videos. Its other core application, Jinri Toutiao, is comparable to Weibo in the public opinion field, and its momentum is slightly weaker.
Our Phoenix Group currently owns Uber and also owns Phoenix Pay. From this point of view, we are stronger than byte sliding!
To sum up, we rank third or fourth in the current Internet arena. "

After this internal document was issued, it aroused great repercussions in the Phoenix Group. Many posts appeared on the intranet community "Wutong" discussing the matter hotly.
"Shocked! It turns out we are so awesome! Is this the neglect of public opinion or the loss of people's hearts? The title needs to be long and long!"
"Third or fourth, that's the question."
"If you drain Mr. Jing's bowl of Ganges water, you will be a Phoenix man in the next life!"
"If heaven had not given birth to my great phoenix, China would have been like a long night."
The 50th floor of China World Trade Center Phase 3 is where the headquarters of Phoenix Group is located. When he was about to get off work on Thursday afternoon, Yu Jiashi was sitting in his office, drinking tea and browsing the hot posts on the "Wutong Community", happily.
Although he attended China Europe Business School with senior executives of Jinggao Group, the 26-year-old was very satisfied with the current situation and is now a middle-level leader at the group headquarters. The grade level is p7.
The grade levels of Phoenix Group range from p1-p13. Different job levels have different salaries, bonuses, and options. Companies in the industry have job grades and levels. For example, Alibaba has technical routes from p1-p13 and management routes M1-M10.
Baidu is T1-T11. Tencent and JD.com both have grades starting with "T", "M", and "P".
There was some controversy over whether Phoenix Group originally chose "p" or "F" as its initials. Later, Jing Gao decided to follow the rules of the industry and set the level as p1-p13. This is a bit like a fantasy sect, where levels and ranks are determined.
On the one hand, it is to arrange remuneration and distribute benefits; on the other hand, it is to motivate employees to work hard and separate them into different levels.
Of course, one year after Phoenix Group was founded, this grade classification is expected to continue to be adjusted in the future.
"Brother Yu, I went to have dinner after get off work. Ah, you are also reading the posts on the Wutong Forum!"
Although Yu Jiashi's rank is high, his annual salary is one million. But in fact, the real power is not great. There are more than twenty people in charge of him. Work is very relaxing. His office is in the public office area. The person he was talking to was a subordinate he usually hung out with.
There is a big difference between the company and the system. Most people's interactions outside of work are not always about level.
Within a department, it is not uncommon for a director to have a good relationship with several subordinates and often have meals together.
The man who could talk was one of Yu Jiashi's subordinates, a young man who usually played games and basketball with him.
"Hehe. Isn't this just looking at Tu Yile? The post by the person whose ID is 'Elegant Princess' is quite interesting!" Yu Jiashi stood up, took the label and walked out of the office area with his subordinates, preparing to find a place Have a meal.
No one from the working class would go to Guomao restaurants to eat all day long. There are many small and medium-sized restaurants in the nearby streets.
"Haha, Brother Yu, the third or fourth post she posted is quite artistic. It's very Versailles! But to be honest, this document issued by the President's Office really shocked us low-level employees. "
Yu Jiashi said funny: "What's so shocking about this? Our overall strength is stronger than Baidu, right?"
The subordinate said: "Brother Yu, then we have to add other businesses! Recently, there have been splits and integrations within the group. We defined ourselves as an Internet company, and then suddenly rushed to the third or fourth position.
Hi! Quite unexpected. It’s quite enjoyable too! "
"That's because the headquarters doesn't have much control over Uber. Uber's board of directors holds a meeting and the strategies and policies are decided. So, we don't feel deeply!"
The two of them walked out of the elevator while talking. Several white-collar workers in the same elevator looked at the backs of the two of them quietly and enviously.
The third phase of China World Trade Center is full of very powerful companies. However, among such a group of companies, Phoenix Group is still considered the top! Of course they were envious of the staff at the Phoenix Group headquarters.

Magic City.
Wang Hanjun is already in the second semester of his junior year, and his classes are getting easier. Late at night, Zhang Li and I were studying in the library.
But she was carrying an Apple laptop, her white fingers tapping the keyboard softly, and replying on the Wutong Forum.
Her ID is "Her Royal Highness the Elegant Princess". She is replying.
As a sophomore student, Zhang Li is still doing homework sadly. The study tasks at Fudan are very heavy. Taking advantage of the gap between completing the advanced mathematics class, Zhang Li tilted his head and glanced at Wang Hanjun's computer screen.
"Ah, Sister Hanjun, has everything been transmitted to the network outside the company?"
Wang Hanjun tapped the keyboard with his fingers and chatted with people on Webo with a smile on his face. "Someone forwarded articles from the intranet to Webo, Toutiao, and various forums. This kind of internal open letter basically cannot be kept secret."
She could be angry with Brother Jing, but no one was allowed to scold him.
Zhang Li laughed and said: "Are there many people paying attention? I heard that Huawei often releases internal documents. It is rarely seen on the Internet. It is only circulated and commented on in their internal voice community."
Wang Hanjun said with emotion: "Phoenix Group has a lot of attention! If there is attention, of course someone is willing to post it to attract attention. This is an Internet company!
Brother Jing just swallowed up the financial business of Haiyi Group in one gulp. Phoenix Financial’s assets and influence have skyrocketed. In fact, in my own opinion, ranking third is not controversial at all. "
The two discussed and chatted in low voices. The night outside the library slowly flows away.
The Phoenix Group's influence among the public is slowly increasing. Many people suddenly discovered that this company is already an Internet giant!

On weekend afternoons, the Uber Building in the Pudong District of Shanghai was a little quiet. An Yi arrived at the Uber building in an ordinary Jiebao XJ.
He returned to work at Uber on Monday. His mother reconciled with Brother Jing in Beijing and was entrusted with the important task of taking charge of Coolpad mobile phones. As a "condition in exchange", Jing Ge established a US$1 billion fund in Hong Kong Island to protect his life.
The purpose of establishing a fund is to avoid taxes reasonably. Let him enjoy the benefits of this asset. His car worth 1 million was bought in the name of the foundation.
His mother also warned him not to develop the habit of being indolent and lazy. Otherwise, the foundation will stop funding him. Oh, my Queen Mother!
At present, his rank is p5, which is considered the supervisor of the department. At the age of twenty-one, he served as department head and had a promising future within Uber. His identity is being kept secret.
"Haha..." An Yi parked the car in the underground parking lot of the building and walked to the office with his mobile phone. He happened to see the web page on the mobile phone, and the recommended news was news related to the Phoenix Group.
Jinggao's internal speech was published on the Internet and was ridiculed and criticized.
"How can you brag about the rankings of Internet companies? Don't they all depend on the rankings of authoritative magazines?"
"Look at the rankings of the Fortune 500 and the list of China's top 100 private enterprises. Who gave Phoenix Group the courage to think that it was ranked third?"
"I have never known Mr. Jing, but from now on, your behavior of belittling and praising his colleagues reminds me of the bad nature of the Chinese people."
An Yi just wanted to say "haha" after seeing it. It is certain that Jing Ge’s disparaging praise of other companies will definitely make people unhappy. But, is Brother Jing qualified to say such a thing? Do you think he is a nobody on the Internet?
So what if he said these words in front of Erma, Li Yanhong, and Brother Dong? It's nothing more than a couple of arguments. Do those top bosses still hold a grudge against Brother Jing? What determines their behavior is: business interests!
Furthermore, various rankings are lagging. When the competition is held at the end of this year, do you really think that Phoenix Group will not be able to secure the third spot?
An Yi put away her phone, sat down at her desk and started working overtime. His mother was also worried that he would become a second-generation rich man, corrupt and degenerate, but she didn't know that his work was so stressful that he didn't even have weekends.
But in comparison, he still likes Brother Jing's "training model".

Hong Kong Island.
Guo Siyue is reading an English newspaper in her newly rented office in Central. Jing Gao's remarks on Phoenix Group's positioning attracted the attention of the financial media. Financial newspapers here on Hong Kong Island have also begun to publish reports.
Guo Siyue has been the president of Galaxy Group for ten years and has settled in Hong Kong Island for a long time. She holds passports from many countries, allowing her to fly around the world to attend business events and company meetings.
With her connections in Hong Kong Island and her position in the shopping mall, she quickly established the structure of the "Yuexiu Consortium" after returning to Hong Kong Island from Jing Gao.
Of course, her resignation process at Galaxy Group has not been completely completed at this time, and there is a little tail. She hasn't started formal work yet.
Jinggao told her that he was preparing to form a global consortium, similar to the structure of the Mitsui Consortium. That is to hide the equity and actual controllers. She was very clear and understood what Igao was thinking. Jing Gao wanted to avoid market risks in five countries and replaced them with the Yuexiu Consortium.
And she is also a very suitable candidate to stand in front of the stage.
However, she has her own thoughts. The "brain" of the Mitsui Consortium is Mitsui & Co. And she does not plan to use this industrial structure model, but plans to adopt the "bank + industry" model popular among European and American consortiums, with banks, especially international investment banks, as the core.
Then, her next primary goal is to acquire or establish an investment bank on Hong Kong Island and name it "Yuexiu Bank".
While she was pondering, Guo Siyue's cell phone rang. She looked at the number and answered the call, "Lily, why do you have time to call me?"
Guo Lingyu said with a smile on the phone: "Auntie, Mr. Jing recently issued an internal open letter to define himself. It's very historical! It's just like Napoleon taking the crown from the Pope and crowning himself! The financial media here on Hong Kong Island have all heard about it.”
Guo Siyue smiled slightly, elegantly and calmly, "Yeah."
Guo Lingyu continued: "I heard from a former colleague that **** and Goldman Sachs are going to send people to the capital to visit him and recommend Phoenix Group to list on Nasdaq."
Guo Siyue smiled indifferently, "Lily, this kind of news has no credibility. The process of Uber's listing on Nasdaq has been stuck. It has not been negotiated yet. Can the managers of Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan accept now? There is no online payment service in the United States and giving high prices? It’s just speculation.”
Daguo Beauty's vision and judgment are as accurate as ever.
Guo Lingyu chuckled, "Auntie, I can't chat with you like this! I feel like this financial news has spread quite widely. The Phoenix Group's popularity is increasing day by day."
Guo Siyue smiled gently and said: "Come on. How can I have time to listen to you showing off here? I have resigned from the Galaxy Group. I have something else to do. I will treat you to tea another day. I'm hanging up."
After hanging up the phone, Guo Siyue couldn't help but shake her head. Lily still doesn't know about her relationship with Jing Gao. In front of Jing Gao, she can't help but say some over-the-top words to seduce him, but if Jing Gao really wants to "big Guo and Xiao Guo" together, she will definitely not be willing.
Guo Siyue glanced at the newspaper, turned on the phone, drank the coffee at hand, and looked up Phoenix Group's information.
Obviously, Jing Gao has listened to her advice and is splitting up and reorganizing his industries to hide his assets and avoid becoming the "richest man" in the eyes of the public. She was happy if she could help him.
At about nine o'clock on Monday morning, the sun shines from the sea of Victoria Harbor and shines into the bright and stylish office through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows. A ray of sunshine fell on the quiet, luxurious and beautiful woman.
It makes her feel like an orchid is blooming quietly and swaying in various ways.
