Beijing.
Jia Yuoting, nicknamed "Jabs," was still sitting in his study in the early morning, holding his head in his hands, looking slightly painful, irritable, and uneasy.
His wife Gan Wei held a bowl of lotus seed soup and opened the study door in floral pajamas and came in, "Old Jia, don't stay up too late."
She had just given birth to a child, and her figure was plump and smooth.
Jia Yueting took the bowl from his wife, took a sip from the spoon, put it on the desk, and asked, "Xiaowei, thank you! Are the children asleep?"
"Asleep." Gan Wei said softly.
Jia Yueting looked up at his wife and said, "Go to bed first. I'll think about it for a while."
Gan Wei said gently: "Okay. Lao Jia, I heard that Jing Gao from the Phoenix Group is coming to visit you tomorrow? Can you ask him to help solve the funding problem?" She is quite well-informed now. Lao Jia's shares in LeTV were frozen two months ago.
Jia Yuoting shook his head and smiled reluctantly, "Don't worry about the company's affairs. I know what's going on. Go ahead!"
Gan Wei leaned over and kissed her husband's face, then left the study full of worry.
Jia Yueting shook his head, looked at the door of the study room, and let out a long sigh. He was actually thinking about this issue too.
Phoenix Group contacted LeTV this morning and said that Jing Gao wanted to visit him tomorrow to discuss LeTV's video copyright issues. Ask him if he has time.
By late August 2017, LeTV was almost at the end of its rope. The money from Phoenix and Sunac has been spent long ago. He just changed the legal person of LeTV to his old subordinate Xia Liangji three days ago.
In addition, his equity in LeTV has been frozen.
In his heart, he was ready to withdraw from LeTV and devote all his energy to LeTV's car-making business.
Under such circumstances, if a small micro enterprise wants to extract money from Phoenix Group, isn’t that treating Phoenix Group as a fool? Everyone can see that LeTV has huge problems. Even Sunac is most interested in "LeTV Zhixin", which is LeTV's home appliance business.
Therefore, he was quite curious about what Jing Gao wanted to see him for. Who would believe what is said openly in the shopping mall? It all depends on the true intention. But in any case, the biggest problem he faces now is funding.
Jing Gao’s purpose of coming will be known tomorrow.
…
…
Jing Gao came out of the courtyard and took a car to LeTV's headquarters building. He didn't bring many people with him, so he took Guan Yujia with him.
Dong Youwei followed him around the United States and gave him a month's leave.
Jing Gao and Guan Yujia met at the intersection coming out of the courtyard. Guan Yujia sat down in his black Rolls-Royce. Suddenly, a faint fragrance filled the car, and the charming young woman softly shouted: "Brother Jing..."
The voice was full of yearning, tenderness, and love.
Jing Gao smiled and directly held the charming young woman in his arms. Today she was wearing an exquisite black midi skirt with a white collar and trim, and her hair was flowing. The body is curvy and graceful. Fashionable and elegant female CEO style.
After all, she was no longer the assistant who followed him that day, but was responsible for leading a company to serve him. The style of dressing is more mature than in the past. What remained unchanged that day was her beauty and style.
"Guan Guan, you are getting more and more beautiful!" Jing Gao smiled and pinched Guan Yujia's face. Guan Yujia, who was 1.65 meters tall, was still a little petite when he held her in his arms. He loved her very much.
A bright smile broke out on Guan Yujia's pretty face. She turned her head and chuckled softly: "Brother Jing, that's all you say to praise women back and forth. However, women are so easily satisfied!"
Jing Gao held her waist with both hands and said with a smile: "Guan Guan, I don't just say it, I also do it! After finishing the business later, find a place and I will pamper you."
Guan Yujia was a twenty-seven-year-old beautiful young woman, and she was still resistant to such words. She took the initiative to peck Jing Gao's lips, looked at him charmingly, and smiled softly: "Brother Jing, don't be too tired." Body."
"Little fairy!" Jing Gao rubbed her with his big hands. Before getting down to business, I usually restrain myself. But the beauty of Guan Guan, a charming young woman, almost made him fail.
Guan Yujia is a charming and charming beauty, who naturally has the demeanor of a timid young woman from a good family. It is easy for people to have the idea of communicating with her in depth. She is indeed shy and timid, but her feelings for him are passionate and deep, and she will actively cooperate with him.
The ultimate beauty!
After a while of fussing, the strange feeling of not seeing each other for a long time disappeared. Jing Gao helped Guan Yujia tidy up her clothes, hugged her, and said with a casual smile: "Guan Guan, although yours is not a cat style yet. But I still like you very much!"
In fact, cat-shaped beauties must first have a petite and exquisite figure, and secondly, they must practice dance or yoga. The so-called delicate body and soft body.
His relationship with the petite and exquisite beauty Shao Sisi has long been broken off. However, he has actually seen one beautiful cat-shaped beauty, Liu Ziyu, who he called to ask about Gu Xixi's hobby before returning to China. The little girl was probably scared to death by him. When I go back to the Magic City, I'll treat her to a meal as a way of saying thank you.
His grievances with Song Heng, Song Yan and his son would not be directed at her as a girl.
Guan Yujia chuckled and snuggled into her lover's arms.
…
…
The car soon arrived at the LeTV headquarters building. It's actually not far from the central business district. Just next to Chaoyang Park.
The bodyguard Xiao Niu in the passenger seat opened the door and followed Jing Gao and Guan Yujia into the LeTV Building.
LeTV had already sent someone downstairs to greet him, and it was Liang Jun, an old acquaintance of Jing Gao.
"Mr. Jing, hello, hello. Welcome."
Jing Gao smiled and shook hands with him. An assistant had quickly pressed the elevator button with quick eyes and hands. The group walked into the elevator and said, "Mr. Liang, long time no see. What have you been busy with recently?"
"Hey, what else can I do? I'm worried to death about the company's affairs." Liang Jun smiled bitterly, and his words were a little candid. He saw the assistant pressing the elevator door to the 8th floor and calling Jing Gao and Guan Yujiasan in front. People lead the way. Go directly to Jia Yuoting's office.
The office is bright and atmospheric. Jia Yueting is still the same image he saw last year and in front of the media: black T-shirt and jeans.
Otherwise, business tycoons who really make their business bigger based on their skills have something. For example, Jia Yueting wears a black T-shirt all year round, and Zhou Hongyi of 360 is known as the "Red Dressed Leader", acting like an entertainment star must have a "personality" and style when appearing on camera.
Jia Yueting had been waiting in the office for a long time, smiling and greeting Jing Gao, "Mr. Jing, please sit down. This is..."
Jing Gao smiled and introduced: "Guan Yujia, the president of our Taichu Group."
"Oh, I mean, it looks familiar!" Jia Yuoting smiled cheerfully and shook hands with Guan Yujia, "Mr. Guan is so beautiful!"
"Thank you." Guan Yujia's voice was clear and she thanked her gracefully. She has a shy temperament, but she has learned it through experience during this period, and Jing Gao is right next to her.
Jia Yueting invited Jing Gao and his entourage to sit down on the guest sofas at the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, where they could overlook the streetscape lined with tall buildings in the capital.
The secretary came over lightly to serve tea.
Jia Yueting made a gesture and said with a little doubt: "Mr. Jing, you came here today...to talk about the video copyright owned by LeTV?"
Jing Gao sat on the sofa and said with a smile: "Yes and no. Mr. Jia, I am interested in entering the field of video and live broadcast recently. I am already in contact with Baidu. So, I want to ask about the video copyright contract owned by LeTV. Can you sell it to me?"
Jia Yueting nodded slightly and pondered without saying anything. This kind of business is not worth a special trip for Jing Gao.
What kind of "status" does Jing Gao have now!
To say that he is an Internet tycoon may be a bit harsh. After all, his personal reputation is still worse than that of the founders of BAT. After all, he has only been on the Internet for a year.
But among the top Internet companies and giants in the country, no matter what the list is or what organization ranks them, Phoenix is definitely indispensable!
Jing Gao also owns Phoenix Financial Group and Xia Shang Real Estate, both of which are very profitable businesses. Various financial magazines have long ranked him as the richest man in the country. Just waiting for confirmation from Fortune magazine and Hurun Rich List.
Jing Gao continued: "I admire Mr. Jia's ecological approach, and I feel sorry for LeTV's current situation. I want to talk to Mr. Jia about the experience of doing business. What would you do if you could do it all over again? Do?"
His chat with Duan Yongping in the United States also involved an understanding. In business, the most important thing is often not what you do, but what you don't do. It’s called a “stopdolist.” This is Duan Yongping’s experience.
There is no doubt that LeTV is a very classic example of diversification failure. He must have gained a lot from being able to chat with Jobs in person.
As a payment, he is willing to purchase LeTV's video copyright contract at a slight premium.
Jia Yueting was slightly startled. The anger in my heart flashed through. How can he feel better if he tells people face to face that LeTV is hopeless? But what Idaka said is correct. What's his rebuttal? LeTV is really on its last legs.
Late at night yesterday, he had considered going to the United States to escape debt.
"Hi..." Jia Yueting started chatting with a complicated mood...
…
…
There are many reasons for LeTV's failure. First, some people say that Jobs was an accountant and was used to making false accounts and moving things around, which eventually caused problems. It’s just that the financial system is unhealthy.
Jinggao felt a little bit about this. LeTV's executives do things with high arrogance, spend money regardless of cost, and only focus on the pursuit of speed. This is obviously wrong. Where are the supervisors?
Second, Jobs continues to bleed LeTV.
In order to develop video websites, he plunged into the TV industry and sold hardware at a loss. Then, it plunged into the mobile phone industry, and LeTV had to bear losses every time it sold a mobile phone. The more you sell, the more you lose.
There is a paradox here. That is, if LeTV cannot tell its story well, how could its valuation reach 170 billion yuan at its peak?
In the end, LeTV plunged into the field of new energy vehicles, which is the future trend. Evergrande's chief economist has an annual salary of 10 million. The transformation prescription he prescribed for Evergrande is to make cars.
Of course, as we all know, new energy vehicles are big money eaters.
So Jabs’ LeTV can’t stand it now. This is not an industry like LeTV Sports, LeTV Mobile, and LeTV Zhixin, where you can make a big impact if you invest billions.
Third, Jobs essentially didn’t want to run a good business.
This view is somewhat of a conspiracy theory. But it makes some sense. Because Jia Yueting is talking about dreams from beginning to end!
Suffocated by dreams.
This world is actually very cruel! It is to judge a hero by his success. Back then, Ma Yun went to Lei Jun to invest. Lei Jun thought he was a liar, so he didn't invest money in Alibaba. Now when we talk about this past event, it becomes a famous anecdote.
What if Ma Yun fails in the end?
There is another argument in support of this view. Of course, Jobs lost all his money, went bankrupt, and divorced his wife. However, his family cashed out billions on LeTV. No matter how bankrupt he is, his wife and children still have enough living expenses.
Doesn’t this sound like: sacrificing me to make everyone happy?
…
…
Jing Gao and Guan Yujia walked out of the LeTV Building at around three o'clock in the afternoon.
On LeTV's side, Liang Jun still needs to negotiate with Sunac, the second shareholder, before selling the copyright contract to Phoenix Group.
Jing Gao and Baidu Li Yanhong are scheduled to meet tomorrow morning. At that time, we will discuss the acquisition of iQiyi. Baidu CEO Lu Qi has An Zhiwen to communicate with him. This is identity equality. Of course, Phoenix Group's intention to purchase has already been sent.
For the whole year of 2016, Baidu’s profit was 11.3 billion. This is quite good data. But for Internet giants, this data is a younger brother. Not to mention the profits of Alibaba and Tencent, even compared with Baidu itself, it was only one-third of that in 2015.
Therefore, Baidu changed its CEO this year in an attempt to increase profits. Lu Qi, who is well-known in the professional manager world, took office. He helped Baidu plan "allinai".
So, after selling Baidu Waimai, which was losing money and needed constant investment, to the Phoenix Group, what about iQiyi, which also suffered from poor management and needed to invest money?
It can also be discussed!
"It's really unimaginable!" Guan Yujia, a pretty young woman, sighed softly as she followed Jing Gao into the car.
LeTV’s problems are far more serious than what appears from the outside. What made her sigh was that LeTV was running forward like a high-speed train, and by the time it tried to brake, it was already over. All working capital has been swallowed up by new energy vehicles.
Jing Gao told the driver to go to Guan Yujia's residence: R&F No. 10. It's only about a twenty-minute drive from here.
He arranged the residences of Guan Yujia, Cao Danqing, and Liu Sumei near China World Trade Center Phase 3. Just to make it easier for them to commute to and from get off work. As someone who has been hanging out in society for a long time, he certainly knows how hard it is to commute in the capital.
Sometimes in order to catch the early train or subway, I have to get up at five o'clock in the morning in the winter, which is very painful.
Jing Gao put his hand on Guan Yujia's fair and tender legs, tapped his fingers gently, and replied: "It's normal! Guan Guan, actually running a business and being a boss is really like that kind of escape game, running slowly If you hit it, you will die. And if you run fast, you will die more easily."
What he is saying to Duan Yongping now: It is more important not to do anything, and to have a deeper understanding.
Why do successful business tycoons emphasize "building a long-lasting business" and "building a 102-year-old store".
Essentially, it is because in the shopping mall, there are many companies that suddenly rise, and there are also many companies that suddenly die.
Moreover, many of these dead companies may have been very good companies for more than ten or twenty years, but suddenly fell into trouble.
As the saying goes: Its prosperity is also rapid, and its demise is also sudden.
Therefore, after business leaders are used to this kind of life and death, they must emphasize on keeping their companies alive longer.
Some people may say: What are the risks of running a company? As long as you have stable sales and profits and don't mess around, how can you possibly collapse? However, the cruel laws and facts of business competition tell us that there are always only a few companies that survive.
The leftover is king!
Feeling the touch on her thigh, Guan Yujia's pretty face turned red, she leaned on Jing Gao's shoulder, and said adoringly and charmingly: "Brother Jing..."
