Guan Yujia lives in Villa No. 23 of "R&F No. 10". This is a high-end real estate brand created in Beijing by R&F Group, a well-known domestic real estate developer.
Villa No. 23 covers a large area and has an annex for a nanny and secretary. Guan Yujia usually lives here, which is a bit empty. But it will become more lively if there is a baby in the future.
The afternoon in Beijing at the end of August was very hot. Jing Gao and his little fairy Guan Yujia stayed together till night.
In the bedroom, dusk slowly fell. Brother Jing and Guan Yujia were talking together.
"Brother Jing, when you travel to the United States this time, take Sister Weiwei and Chen Yujie with you. She is willing to indulge you so much!"
Jing Gao hugged Guan Yujia's soft waist, and the smooth skin felt very good. He laughed and said, "How is that possible? Weiwei regretted it later. When traveling with her boyfriend, how can she bring her best friend with her?"
Guan Yujia pursed her lips and smiled softly. The charming young woman's amorous feelings flowed out for no reason. She was flawless and extremely moving in the light twilight. "Brother Jing, what do you think of Lawyer Chen?"
"Hi!" Jing Gao stroked Guan Yujia's hair with emotion, "Of course I have a crush on Yu Jie. However, I don't want to hurt Weiwei. So, even if Weiwei starts to alienate Yu Jie, I won’t cross the line. She has already indulged me enough. Guan Guan, in fact, the man is messing around outside, does that woman know? "
Many "masters" on the Internet share how they manipulate flowers. In fact, after getting married, very few wives don't notice.
Just one piece of information, now all the information is in the mobile phone, what do you do? Delete mobile phone information? I'm afraid that the cleaner the deletion, the more guilty it will appear! And do you want to pay public food? Many details cannot be hidden from the person next to you.
Guan Yujia smiled softly and said, "I understand."
Jing Gao laughed and said, "No, what do you understand?"
Guan Yujia smiled charmingly, "Brother Jing, just don't worry about this!"
Jing Gao shook his head with a smile and hugged the beautiful young woman who was a few months younger than him. "Guan Guan, don't think too badly of me! I really don't want to do anything to Yu Jie. Even though I may feel very bad in the future." It’s a pity. But didn’t I catch Weiwei in the end?”
…
…
Jing Gao took Guan Yujia and her assistant Zheng Xiaobing to the Baidu headquarters building to meet Li Yanhong on Tuesday.
Dong Youwei is on vacation, while Chen Qingshuang, Nie Yunxi, and Gu Xixi are working in the Magic City. He simply asked Guan Yujia to be his temporary assistant.
However, as the head of the President's Office of Taichu Group and the head of Zhongrun Company, Guan Yujia's usual work is still a bit busy. It's not a very tight work rhythm. But there are some things that require her to nod and make a decision.
Or some meetings require her to attend. The calls are always coming.
Therefore, she brought her assistant Zheng Xiaobing with her and delegated her daily affairs to the assistant. She followed Jing Gao, helping him answer the phone, making arrangements for his trip and other matters.
"Mr. Jing, welcome!" Li Yanhong put down all the company's affairs early in the morning and waited on the 30th floor of the headquarters building. The assistant picked up Jing Gao, smiled and shook hands with Jing Gao, and greeted them to a bright and comfortable place. , sat down in the luxurious conference room.
This kind of conference room is not the simple office space in the TV series. Instead, it was built very luxuriously. Just like the banquet hall of a five-star hotel. The large area and luxurious decoration make it a perfect choice for the time being. Plus a wide view.
After chatting for a while, Li Yanhong sat on the sofa and said straight to the point: "Mr. Jing, iQiyi is indeed losing money, and we also hope to bring in new investors. But at the moment, we have no intention of selling."
iQiyi is preparing to go public in the United States. Wouldn’t it be stupid to sell iQiyi at this moment? It seems that the Phoenix Group has not received the news. Their influence on Nasdaq and Wall Street in the United States is still far behind.
Moreover, video websites are standard features of Internet giants. Alibaba acquired Youku. Although Youku did not do well, its current market value is only a few billion dollars. But there are video websites! Not to mention Tencent Video, which is basically the industry leader.
Jing Gao actually knew that iQiyi was going public. He just flew back from New York not long ago. He attended several drinking parties on Wall Street. As the owner of Uber, he is still very popular on Wall Street. Everyone knows Uber wants to list on Nasdaq. Wall Street is a step that cannot be bypassed.
There are always underwriters when a stock is listed.
At that time, various gossips were flying around at the reception.
In fact, not only iQiyi is preparing to go public, but Bilibili, in which Phoenix Group owns 30% of the shares, is also preparing to go public in the United States.
Jing Gao smiled and said: "You can also invest in the equity part. I am very interested in video websites and long video fields."
Li Yanhong pondered for a while, then smiled and said: "Let the people below talk about it. iQiyi is preparing to go public, and Mr. Jing is willing to invest in one round. I agree in principle. However, business is business. In terms of price... "
Jing Gao smiled and nodded, then continued: "According to the market conditions. Let the people below discuss the details."
Li Yanhong said refreshingly: "Okay, then it's settled." It is actually very difficult for the Baidu family to support iQiyi alone. The only strategic investors are Xiaomi and Hillhouse Capital.
Then, Li Yanhong said again: "Mr. Jing, the newly launched news section of WeBo during this period has performed very well! Is WeBo planning to turn into a news client?"
According to Baidu’s internal research. Social media is changing dramatically based on the needs of its users. In the era of portal websites, users browsed news provided by portal websites through computers and viewed news through search engines. But in the era of mobile Internet, users get news through apps on their mobile phones: news clients.
Moreover, with the application of big data, various news clients have begun to push the news they like to users.
Toutiao, Tencent News, NetEase News, and Sohu News are all leading companies. Toutiao has taken advantage of this wave of users to rise.
This seriously threatens Baidu's interests.
Jing Gao smiled freely and said: "There is no special transformation. We need to grasp it with both hands, and we need to be strong with both hands! The Weibo platform not only has an entertainment section, but also a professional news section."
Li Yanhong smiled slightly, tilted her body and said, "Mr. Jing, have you considered letting Weibo introduce new strategic investors? Baidu's current actions to suppress Toutiao are not going well." This was somewhat candid.
Jing Gao felt funny. He had long concluded that Baidu would never be able to suppress Toutiao. Toutiao uses a news distribution model and uses big data to give users the news they want to see most.
The frequency of user use of search engines has been significantly reduced. This touches Baidu's core interests. But what can Baidu do?
If you don’t make progress, you will be eliminated! Baidu became the leader of China's Internet in 2004. In fact, Baidu has participated in all the Internet trends in recent years! The industry leader! rich.
Do you really think Bat is calling for nothing?
However, Baidu failed to seize these opportunities. When working in e-commerce, Ma Yun ridiculed her for not even understanding the logic of e-commerce. As expected, he would just commit suicide. Among other products, iQiyi is the most eye-catching.
Judging from his knowledge system, Jing Gao's trip to the United States gave him the idea that Baidu may have some problems with its corporate culture. This is the root cause. What is reflected on the surface may be the corporate structure.
When the three major portals were each leading the way, Li Yanhong, the head of Baidu, was recognized as a "dictator" who treated his subordinates unkindly and left them alone after using them. It is difficult for the veteran who followed him to die well.
Even now, CEO Lu Qi, who was invited by him personally and "visited the thatched cottage three times", many people in the Internet industry laughed and said that Lu Qi would eventually be killed by Li Yanhong.
Zhang Chaoyang, the head of Sohu, is recognized as a "good guy." Sohu has produced many Internet talents. However, Zhang Chaoyang's character was too weak and he did not form troops such as the "Xiaomi Department" and the "Lenovo Department".
This shows that he still has great flaws. Everyone who goes out misses Sohu!
Ding Sanshi, the head of NetEase, is recognized as the best “product manager” in China. But product managers mean that they are not very good at sales. Pursue and prefer a "pursuing" taste.
Therefore, NetEase’s products are indeed pretty good. Such as NetEase News, NetEase Music, NetEase Games, NetEase Selections. But they are not the first in the industry.
"Mr. Li, the meager shares may be a bit expensive!"
"Haha!" Li Yanhong laughed. Jing Gao's words were almost returned to his original words. He patted the armrest of the sofa and said with a smile: "As long as you agree. No matter how expensive it is, Baidu has to plan on it!"
Jing Gao shook hands with Li Yanhong happily and said, "Then I wish us a happy cooperation."
After Jinggao acquired more than 50% of Sina's shares for US$2.2 billion last November, he successively acquired some shares. At present, the shareholders' meeting has been passed to separate Sina's equity and voting rights.
Phoenix Group currently holds approximately 75.6% of Sina's shares and 91.2% of its voting rights.
When Sina Weibo was listed on Nasdaq, it had the structure model of AB shares. Phoenix Group holds 50.2% of the shares through Sina.com alone, with 75% of the voting rights. It also increased its holdings of a small number of shares through the stock market, bringing the total shareholding to 65.2% and voting rights to 82.3%.
In Sina's meager shareholder structure, Alibaba holds 30.2% of the shares and 15.8% of the voting rights.
Therefore, Jing Gao is not opposed to letting Baidu come in and hold a meager stake in Sina. Anyway, the voting rights are enough. But at the same time, it can offset a lot of pressure from Ali. If Alibaba doesn’t sell off its meager shares, Jing Gao has no one to suppress it!
As for the public opinion platform, although Phoenix Group has decisive voting rights, within the shareholder structure and the board of directors, it is not a bad thing to have one more opponent. Otherwise it is very dangerous!
Li Yanhong smiled heartily and said: "Mr. Jing, happy cooperation! Let's play golf together another day." The gloom in his heart was swept away.
In fact, when both sides talked about this, they were tacitly understanding it. This is a policy similar to "alliance".
In other words, Jing Gao is preparing for the possibility that Phoenix Group will fall out with Alibaba and Tencent at the same time.
He plans to enter the field of short videos and live broadcasts, which may offend Tencent's interests. However, after giving in on Pinduoduo, he is not ready to give in anymore.
Short videos and live broadcasts are the next trend of the Internet. This trend has become increasingly obvious this year. In the payment field, the conflict of interests between Phoenix Group and Tencent is becoming more and more serious. So, let’s get started!
"Okay! Mr. Li, which stadium in Beijing do you usually like to play at?" Jing Gao said. There are indeed regular venues for playing ball.
Li Yanhong stood up to see Jing Gao off and met Guan Yujia, who was participating in the meeting, and said with a smile: "I usually play at Xianghe International." Walking out of the luxurious conference room, he smiled and said: "Mr. Jing, it seems you haven't joined the Huaxia Alumni Association yet, right? ? Are you interested? I can make an introduction for you."
China's top entrepreneurs only meet in some public places. There are also various private gatherings. For example: Chinese Entrepreneurs Club, Taishan Club, Jiangnan Club, Zhejiang Businessmen Conference, Chu Businessmen Conference, etc.
Don't think that the four major clubs in Beijing in the 1990s are the top. They have long since become obsolete.
These various chambers of commerce are not only divided by region and fellow villagers. A lot of it depends on the friendship between classmates in the business school. The Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business run by Li Ka-shing, the China-Europe Business School run by the government and the European Union, and Ma Yun’s Lakeside University.
Jing Gao smiled as he walked and said, "Forget it. Ma Yun and I had a falling out. I guess it was about the same with Mr. Liu."
Jing Gao is still self-aware of this. Let’s not talk about the grievances with Ali. He ousted Liu Qing, Mr. Liu’s favorite daughter, from the position of Didi’s president, and semi-publicly criticized Lenovo for not supporting Huawei during the 5G standard vote.
Anyway, he doesn't think highly of Lenovo. The premier "high-tech" company was eventually turned into an assembly plant. What is this?
Walking to the elevator, Li Yanhong's assistant held the elevator button. Li Yanhong laughed and said goodbye to Jing Gao, "That's okay. Mr. Jing, when Uber goes public, you will probably be qualified to form your own chamber of commerce or entrepreneur association. I promise to support you when the time comes."
In the elevator, Jing Gao joked: "That's not impossible. Mr. Li, see you later!"
…
…
After returning to the capital and resting for three to five days, Li Mengwei decided to resign from her position at Jiaxin High School to concentrate on the postgraduate entrance exams. Li Mengwei decided to go home and stay with her parents for a while.
Jing Gao helped her handle the matter of resignation. Without the pressure of teaching tasks, her time is free.
Of course, her not staying in the capital is also related to the fact that Jing Gao will leave the capital soon. Jing Gao is about to transfer to Shanghai, and then fly to Hong Kong Island to fully promote the listing of Uber on Hong Kong Island.
At the end of August, the campus of the University of Trade and Economic Cooperation began to gradually become lively. The scorching heat is gradually receding, and the holidays are coming to an end.
Ye Jing wore a refreshing sky blue cultural shirt with a high-waisted black midi skirt underneath. With her long snow-white legs exposed, she wore sandals and took Jing Gao to the dormitory building of the University of Trade and Economics where she used to live.
"Brother Jing, be careful going upstairs. The steps are a bit steep."
This Tongzilou is a bit old and has a quiet atmosphere on a midsummer morning. The walls of the stairs are peeling.
Ye Jing held Jing Gao's hand, with a slender figure and a pair of slender legs that were long and round, and told her with concern. Like a little woman in love.
In the new semester, she informed the school's logistics office that she had bought a property and was willing to give up the single dormitory. In fact, she lived here very rarely in the second half of last year. She didn't think about it from the perspective of "office politics". If she didn't stop, there would be a lot of gossip.
And living here, she has something going on, and the neighbors all know about it. It's not convenient for her to have a tryst with Brother Jing!
