Jing Gao brought his fiancée Li Mengwei back home from Tianfu Hot Spring Resort. The Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month was coming in two days. By the end of the first lunar month, which is mid-March in the Gregorian calendar, Li Mengwei’s results for the national postgraduate examination came out. She had passed the preliminary examination at Yanda.
Next, she needs to prepare for the postgraduate re-examination at the School of Foreign Languages at Yanda. That's about three weeks away. Despite Principal Wu's assurance, Li Mengwei was still a little nervous and devoted herself to intense preparation for the exam.
She was able to pass the exam from Taizhou to Beijing with her real skills and study at a 985 university called Beijing Normal University. Her test-taking ability is still very good. Jing Gao didn't want to disturb her and was about to leave for the Magic City. Start his counterattack!
This time he passed the "restricted situation" in danger. The things and sounds inside were relatively chaotic, and he couldn't see clearly. I vaguely heard that Zhou Mingyang and Ma Yun played a bad role. It seems that he has reported his source of funds to the higher authorities.
Previously, because his funds came from overseas, these were well-documented and legal funds. There were rumors in the market that he was the spokesperson and white glove of certain capital. It was his enemy Zhao Canglong who promoted it at that time. But in the past year or two this idea has disappeared.
Because, as he made Phoenix Group bigger, especially Uber’s several rounds of financing, mergers, and last year’s listing, he brought benefits to many people. These include many state-owned assets. For example, CICC and CIC.
and his investments in the textile industry. Xia Shang Textile is currently undergoing a difficult transformation, but it is already initially competitive. This capital-intensive and labor-intensive industry brings positive feedback to Jinggao. Because it provides a lot of employment.
There are also his investments in chips and mobile phones, and the ownership structure of Phoenix Group has long been changed to a Chinese-funded enterprise. All these suppress the reference to "white gloves". Because "foreign capital" comes to invest and is encouraged by policies.
Especially capital invested in industry. The technical term is "FDI" investment. The policy-oriented treatment is very high.
There is nothing to investigate about this matter. Jing Gao couldn't figure it out either. As for the question that he is a white glove, he has no good way to defend it. Unlimited bank cards, no one will believe this. What he can do about it is actually quite simple.
First, for example, for a certain Mars company, even if the equity, headquarters, taxes, and servers are all in China, this kind of multinational company will harm the interests of the country. That is also not recognized.
Second, even foreign investment can be recognized if it can bring technology, employment, and tax revenue.
What he wanted to fight back was Zhou Mingyang's report on "Tiangong Games".
After Weiweili came to the capital at the end of last year, his luck seemed to have worsened. There are three big problems. First, Arika was stuck and did not agree to return to Hong Kong stocks for a small amount. Second, Phoenix Financial Group was interviewed by regulatory authorities. Third, Tiangong Games was reported and public opinion surged.
In the second half of the month of January 12, 2018, something happened.
First, according to the latest feedback given to him by Wei Dongjun, Alibaba has agreed to return to the Hong Kong stock market for a small fee. Relevant delisting procedures have been initiated. Sina's stock price has plummeted, and the notorious hedge fund Aristeia is making a big noise on Wall Street!
There is a big background here. The Golden Retriever Lion King, the commander-in-chief of America, signed an order to increase taxes on March 8. Everyone knows what this is the beginning of!
Second, the rectification crisis of Phoenix Financial Group has passed. He has quickly withdrawn from Phoenix Financial Group.
According to regulators of the day, he was banned not just from the banking industry, but from the financial industry. In other words, he is prohibited from entering banking, insurance, third-party payment, fund and other businesses. So being in the media club is a fixed punishment for him.
After his withdrawal, Cao Danqing became the shareholder and legal representative of Phoenix Financial Group. Guan Yujia also holds shares in it, helping Cao Danqing diversify some of his wealth. Phoenix Pay, Phoenix Group, and Jinggao are all fully withdrawing.
Jing Gao had long wanted to learn from Huawei's President Ren, who delegated all external affairs to the management team. He was only responsible for internal management and decision-making. Now it's time to go with the flow. He only retained his identity as a shareholder and director in the manufacturing industry.
Third, the reported Tiangong Games successfully pretended to be dead, and public opinion has shifted. Tiangong Games continues to develop its own AAA-level large-scale production: Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea-My Defense of the Home and the Country. Its merged game team is still developing "Da Qin Empire".
Liao Rong has returned to China from Singapore, and Lin's Paper is managed by Guo Lingyu of LP Group. She is originally a direct descendant of the Guo family in Malaysia, and it is not difficult to secure control of Lam Paper, a paper giant with sales of US$6 billion, with 32% of the shares.
According to Jing Gao's personal suggestion, do not hire professional managers to run Lin's Paper, but promote them from the internal team. He fundamentally distrusts professional managers.
Because, after a trip to Hollywood last summer, he discovered more clearly that professional managers were cheating their bosses of their money, legally or illegally. This is especially obvious in Hollywood.
Who is the most famous professional manager in China? Wang Shitou! After the Baowan dispute, it can be clearly seen that Vanke’s management team is not seeking benefits for Vanke’s shareholders, but is doing its best to benefit itself, that is, gradually increasing its shareholding ratio in Vanke. And hard work.
The emperor of Disney, who was originally a professional manager, saved Disney, and then all members of the Disney family stepped aside.
Elvis Presley's estate management committee members are very popular, and his daughter has not yet been able to receive all the benefits of his estate.
Therefore, for his two companies in Europe: Zhaoshi Group and Leeds United Club, he entrusted Dong Lingxi to be responsible for the finance and supervision, and looked at the professional managers who liked to guard themselves.
This so-called modern enterprise management system is largely fake. Because there are a lot of smart people profiting from it. This includes the game between the shareholders' meeting and the board of directors.
From a father's perspective, why should your vast family fortune be ruined by professional managers? Wouldn’t it be better to corrupt your own offspring?
Therefore, many financial media always attack domestic entrepreneurs who have encountered the problem of wealth inheritance and need to introduce a professional manager system to solve this problem. Haha, this is also naive.
So, why are many domestic companies family-owned? Don't think that rich people are stupid, while others are smart.
Professional managers can serve as deputy, general manager or president responsible for specific business affairs. But you definitely cannot be the chairman or CEO. Otherwise, just wait for him to usurp your interests as the boss!
This is human nature!
Of course there are exceptions. But in most cases, using professional managers to manage a company will inevitably prevent your legacy from being passed on to your next generation.
If your view of wealth is: just leave enough money to your child, and give him the best education and medical care to ensure good health. That's another story. However, those who hold this view are in the minority.
At all times and in all over the world, how many of the empires and foundations Lao Tzu has built would want to be given to outsiders at a low price? If nothing else, let’s just talk about the current empire on Blue Star, America, how many rich people and politicians are inherited from their families?
…
During this half month, another thing happened. Jing Gao called Chen Yujie at Ye Jing's residence at the University of International Trade and Economics, so that she could reply to Teacher Wu Manqing's invitation: There is no need to thank her for a meal, just make a phone call.
"Okay, then I'll call Teacher Wu." Chen Yujie agreed and was about to hang up the phone.
Jing Gao stood on the balcony, looking at the leisure time on the University of Trade and Economics campus in the afternoon, and called out to her, "Yu Jie, have you forgotten something?"
Chen Yujie's bright and pretty face suddenly seemed to be covered with a layer of red powder. She pursed her lips and counterattacked shyly: "I'm at the University of Political Science and Law. You know which building and which room I live in. Do you dare to come over tonight?"
During the Laba Festival last year, on that snowy night, she called Jing Gao, and both of them understood each other's feelings.
And Jing Gao gave her a promise: Yu Jie, I have something to deal with. Maybe it takes half a month, a month. When I'm done with it, I'll go see you.
Of course she understood what this meant. She kept this in mind. When Jing Gao called her to wish her a happy New Year during the Spring Festival, he was in a good mood, but did not mention it. Today, Jing Gao called her and asked her to reply to Teacher Wu Manqing.
She immediately understood that the matters that Jing Gao had to deal with should have been dealt with. In fact, she was certainly paying attention to the news about Jing Gao being punished a few days ago. She often quietly follows his news.
But if Jing Gao didn't say anything, as a girl, should she take the initiative? How embarrassing. This is not something her character can do.
Jing Gao smiled bitterly and said softly: "Yujie, you know I don't dare. I'm going to the Magic City in a while. Don't you have a legal position in the Phoenix Immortal Pavilion E-Sports Club? You will go to the Magic City on the weekends. Are you all on a business trip?”
Chen Yujie said in a clear voice: "I don't know. Jing Gao, I'm dead." She was too embarrassed to agree directly.
"Um."
It was more than ten minutes later when Jing Gao received Wu Manqing's call. On the phone, Wu Manqing said calmly and generously: "Mr. Jing, I'm really sorry to express my gratitude to you on the phone. This seems like my gratitude is too light."
Jing Gao smiled and said: "Teacher Wu, just thank me in your heart. It doesn't matter whether you eat or not. The relationship between me and DreamWorks has completely deteriorated. If you, a friend like you, have a chance, you should leave DreamWorks."
"..." Wu Manqing opened her mouth in surprise and said, "Okay. I will tell her the news."
Jing Gao said again: "Teacher Wu, I asked Yu Jie to tell you to call me. I have an idea that I want to communicate with you in private."
Wu Manqing was somewhat surprised. What did Jing Gao need to communicate with her? Then he realized that it must be a school matter and said, "Mr. Jing, tell me."
Jing Gao smiled and said: "Teacher Wu, is it possible for Jingxin University to upgrade from a second-level undergraduate program to a first-category undergraduate program? The new campus is under construction, and there is nothing that Beijing Xinxin University can lag behind in terms of hardware. The other aspect is talent.
In terms of student training, Jingxin University and I have plans to cooperate in cultivating talents. The major of integrated circuits is an attempt. In terms of teaching staff, talents can be introduced from overseas. "
He hopes to push his alma mater, Beijing Xinxin University, from a second institution into a single institution. It takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate people. He still has feelings for his alma mater when he was in college. He is not yet thirty years old, and he feels that it is of great significance to spend thirty or forty years doing this. Of course, the developed Jingxin University will also give back to him from the side. The circle of colleges and universities is not that big to begin with.
Wu Manqing was surprised again. She really didn't expect Jing Gao to have such a grand idea. She had never thought about this situation. With her background, she came to Jingxin University just to be gilded. After reaching a certain level, she will be promoted and leave.
"Mr. Jing, it's possible. But the time span will be very long. Because the evaluation work of colleges and universities is not carried out every year, but only after a period of time. It is possible in twenty or thirty years."
Jing Gao said softly: "Teacher Wu, I am still young. I am also telling you to make preparations first."
Wu Manqing said crisply: "Mr. Jing, don't worry. I will report to the principals and try to come up with a feasible plan."
…
…
On the morning of March 15th, there was light rain in the sky. The patter of spring rain fills the sky and the trees on both sides of the road with this fresh breath.
Jing Gao brought his assistant Dong Youwei, bodyguard Chen Aiyang, and one of his suitcases. Inside was a change of clothes that Weiwei helped him sort out. Toiletries are available at Magic City. At about 10 o'clock, I drove out to the airport and prepared to take his luxurious private jet to the Magic City.
The plane soared upwards. Jing Gao first listened to Dong Youwei's work report in the office, and then checked today's emails on his laptop. Looking at the work email Tang Xuan sent him, Jing Gao thought about it and looked at the time on his left watch, which was 11:42 am. I made a phone call to her.
"Mr. Tang, are you still busy?"
Tang Xuan was actually holding a meeting with the senior management team of Xiangcheng Takeaway. Her company is fully benchmarked against Meituan, and it also competes fiercely with Ele.me, a subsidiary of Alibaba. Her assistant gave her the cell phone. When she saw that it was Jing Gao's personal number, she left the conference room and answered it. Then she heard Jing Gao calling her "Mr. Tang" in a good mood.
Tang Xuan walked back to her office and said with a smile: "Can I not be busy if I work for a capitalist? Mr. Jing, what's going on?"
"I just saw that you are planning to launch a subsidy war against Meituan, with the intention of killing Ele.me, the third largest company in the industry. My opinion is, Tang Xuan, don't get angry on my behalf."
Tang Xuan chuckled softly, her beauty was gratuitous, "Mr. Jing, you are very powerful! I can't stand how they made you have a bad reputation now. However, this is my normal business plan."
"Okay. It's up to you." Jing Gao didn't try to persuade her anymore. Tang Xuan had always developed Orange Takeout, so he still respected her opinion and said, "Tang Xuan, do you still remember what we said when we said goodbye on the snowy night?"
"I hope the clouds have cleared up when we meet again," Tang Xuan said.
Jing Gao smiled and said: "Now the situation is clear, I passed the risk. However, I can't meet you. I am now on the plane to Shanghai."
Tang Xuan gently stroked her hair on her forehead, pursed her lips and smiled, and said softly: "Mr. Jing, it's okay! Although the matter against you is over, you will fight back, right? Then I'll wait for you to return in triumph. Let’s meet you.”
"Okay." What an interpreter! Jing Gao laughed and hung up the phone.
The plane in the clouds headed straight for the Magic City.
