Hibiscus emerges from clear water, and flowers begin to bloom. This is the origin of Zhao Qinghan's "Hanlian culture".
Jing Gao invited his subordinates to dinner at the Capital Club, mainly because he made an appointment to have a cup of tea with Li Yanhong here this afternoon to talk about iQiyi.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Jing Gao took a lunch break in the presidential suite of the China World Hotel in the China World Trade Center Phase 3 Building, leaving the two beauties Liu Feifei and Zhao Qinghan to rest.
I haven't seen them for a while. I just wanted to talk together during lunch break, but I couldn't help myself. It's not clear whether Feifei is too beautiful, Qinghan is too charming, or he is too romantic.
"Mr. Jing, long time no see."
"Robin, long time no see!"
Jing Gao felt refreshed and drove to the Capital Club on the 50th floor of the Capital Building. He smiled and shook hands with Li Yanhong in the luxurious private room. The accompanying bodyguards and Feng Wan, the assistant seconded from Guan Yujia, were parked outside.
After returning from France, Dong Youwei and others were given a leave by him.
Li Yanhong smiled and asked Jing Gao to sit down. His assistant brought in a pot of tea and several plates of snacks. Quietly exit again.
Li Yanhong was wearing casual clothes with an elegant demeanor. She picked up the teacup and joked: "Mr. Jing, I heard that people in Europe respectfully call you Mr. Jing. Our domestic business community has not changed its attitude yet, right?"
Jing Gao smiled and said, "Not many people call me that."
"Haha! You..." Li Yanhong laughed and pointed to the height of the well with a smile.
Jing Gao said with a smile: "It's mainly a matter of usage habits. They like to use titles like sir and lord. In our country, we usually call them Mr. X. This is the habit since the reform."
Li Yanhong smiled slightly and said, "That's true."
After drinking tea and chatting for a while, Jing Gao said with a smile: "Robin, let me show you a video first." He connected his mobile phone to the large LCD TV in the private room using Bluetooth, called up a video, and started Play.
The video is a clip of An Xiaoqian, CEO of Coolpad Mobile Phone Group Co., Ltd., during an interview with the media yesterday. An Xiaoqian, wearing an elegant professional suit with her hair in a bun, sat in front of reporters and talked, "
Some entrepreneurs in our country are too arrogant and attribute their business success to their own intelligence and hard work. However, I think it is better in our time. Only with the support of the state can we develop private enterprises. This is not Ma Yun's era, but the times have created Ma Yun..."
What An Xiaoqian said later was not in the video. But just such a short paragraph made Li Yanhong open his mouth slightly in surprise. He understood immediately, looked at Jing Gao and said, "Mr. Jing, are you going to start a full-scale war with Ali?"
Jing Gao sat on the sofa leisurely and said: "It's not that exaggerated! It's mainly just a little bit of Ma Yun. Some of his things are too arrogant. I used to ask my friends in the middle to inform him, hoping that he would withdraw his shares in the meager amount."
Baidu is a meager strategic investor, holding 5% of the shares.
Li Yanhong understood what Jing Gao meant. He pondered slightly. It seems that the conditions he imagined before need to be modified.
Before coming, he originally planned to sell a part of iQiyi's equity to Jing Gao, adding the 10% of the shares he had previously sold to Jing Gao, bringing his shareholding to 40%. In this case, his losses are acceptable.
The three major video websites are losing money every year. iQiyi was listed on the US stock market in March this year, and its market value is currently around US$7 billion.
Video websites cannot be said to be standard features of Internet giants, just like Baidu's payment, which is also not famous. Foreign Google, Twitter, and Amazon have not entered the field of video websites. The foreign giant is Netflix.
He now has to seriously think about this business.
Now, Jing Gao has shown his determination to fight Ma Yun to the end: This is not Ma Yun's era, but the era created Ma Yun! These words are very serious. It is tantamount to stripping away the aura of god-making that surrounds the founder of Alibaba.
Doesn’t he know that others don’t know? An Xiaoqian from Coolpad Mobile is Jing Gao's confidant. Very valued. When Jing Gao went to visit Huawei, she was the only executive with him.
An Xiaoqian was a general manager of the Galaxy Group two years ago. It is said that Jing Gao beat her into submission and forced her to split up the Haiyi Group, causing her personal wealth to shrink significantly. Later, another US$1 billion was spent to set up a trust fund in Hong Kong Island for her son to ensure a future, and thus hired her to come out.
After An Xiaoqian took charge of Coolpad Mobile Phones, Coolpad Mobile Phones have become a little more famous recently, and the spokespersons are all top-notch. Global sales have picked up. It’s just that its performance in the two major markets of China and India is not so impressive. But its sales are very good in the market in Southeast Asia.
There is actually no difference between what An Xiaoqian said and what Jing Gao said!
"Let's do this, Mr. Jing, Baidu retains 30% of iQiyi's equity, and I will sell you the remaining shares at today's closing price per share. Make sure you control iQiyi.
However, I need you to commit to doubling iQiyi's market value within two years. At that time, Baidu will give you priority in selling equity to you, and ultimately retain 10% of the shares and a board seat. If the stock price does not rise, you must buy it at a price that doubles today's stock price. "
Jing Gao doesn't care about money. What he needs is a mature video website platform to kill Youku. He stretched out his hand and said, "Robin, happy cooperation!"
...
...
On the night when Jing Gao and Li Yanhong met, public opinion began to ferment online. Up owners on the short video website Kuaishou and Station B both forwarded An Xiaoqian’s conclusion: This is not Ma Yun’s era, but the era. Created Ma Yun.
As for whether Tencent will exert force later, it is unclear. Anyway, Kuaishou, who likes to call himself Lao Tie, is generally recognized as Tencent-based.
Immediately, some up owners on Douyin followed suit.
Three days later, this sentence reached the top ten of Weibo’s trending searches. Immediately, the central media Renren Daily commented, but the words were more concise and straightforward: There is no so-called Jack Ma era, only Jack Ma in the era.
Magic City.
Ma Yun came to Shanghai to attend an internal discussion meeting with Zhejiang businessmen. After the term "big changes unseen in a century" was put forward on June 30, many people are now researching and studying it.
After the meeting, Guo Guangchang invited Ma Yun to drink together in the VIP box of the bar at the Yuyuan Renaissance Hotel.
"Old Ma, what's going on now?" Guo Guangchang asked with a smile. He just flew back from the UK the day before yesterday and was really confused.
As a top businessman, a social nerd, and a master of capital operations, he knew the difference between Ma Yun's era and the Ma Yun of that era.
The former is equivalent to becoming a god!
Alibaba is indeed considered a master among Internet companies. Back then, when we were talking about swordsmanship in West Lake, it was indeed a bit like being the best among all the others. Of course, Tencent is developing very well now, especially its gaming industry.
At last year's Wuzhen Internet Conference, there was one dinner after another, but no one invited Lao Ma.
The latter is to take away the aura attached to Ma Yun's various legendary stories. It took five minutes to convince Sun Zhengyi, and Cai Congxin went straight to Hangzhou to vote. etc.
What a reputational blow!
Jing Gao and Ma Yun had a long-standing conflict, and he knew about it. So I didn’t ask what was going on. However, I really didn’t expect that Ali would lose the battle of public opinion and attract comments from the central media. This shouldn't be the case.
In today's Internet environment, which big company is afraid of public opinion war? If you give money, there will be a lot of sailors to take over the work. Issuing a lawyer's letter again, as long as it is not a particularly outrageous matter, it is not difficult to control online public opinion, or to divert online public opinion.
When a business tycoon's reputation is weakened, this means the decline of his own strength! Because many times tycoons rely on their own reputation and credibility to mobilize funds and negotiate business!
The bar's private room is gorgeous and luxurious, with dim lighting. Various dishes and food are placed on the long marble coffee table.
Ma Yun held the wine glass, leaned on the sofa, and said with a smile: "Guangchang, that's it. Anyway, I decided to retire this year and leave Ali to my brothers. The fame will come down. I am no longer in the world, and the world is still the same. There will be a legend about me.”
Guo Guangchang rubbed his half-bald head and raised his glass with a smile, "Cheers to your words!"
Ma Yun sat on the sofa, took a sip of wine, and the phone on the coffee table lit up. He picked it up and looked at it, and then his face darkened. After a few minutes, he suppressed his anger and handed the phone to Guo Guangchang.
What Guo Guangchang saw was the meager hot search list. Ranked first is: Ali’s ice-breaking culture.
I understand everything. If you don’t know, go search it on Bianhu.
A network storm suddenly broke out. Alibaba's reputation has dropped this time even more seriously than Zhaoshi Group's counterfeiting.
And this time no one will allow the post to be deleted.
