Faced with Jing Gao's invitation, Professor Zhang was obedient and said with a smile: "Mr. Jing, let me tell you a little story about what I learned at the wine table!"
He actually had no intention of offending Mr. Jing. He had already told Mr. Jing in front of him that he would pick on Uber in the future. Mr. Jing did not get angry and continued to drink with him calmly. If there were no secretive moves towards him later on, it would mean that Mr. Jing was really tolerant of him and worthy of his friendship.
Listen to his words and watch his actions.
"There have been many real estate developers in our capital city since the 1990s. The Six Wantong Gentlemen, who were the most famous in the country at that time, basically developed in central Beijing after the real estate industry in Qiong Province collapsed. There is also the cannon who went there three years ago .
Because I study economics, I pay special attention to real estate in this decade. I am the author of real estate-related books such as "House Situation Game". People often criticize me on the Internet for being a spokesman for real estate interests.
There are many stories here. Let me tell you the story of the guy in Soho.
It was probably 1992. I had just graduated from college and was living in Zhongguancun. At that time, Zhongguancun was the place where computers were sold in the country. Mr. Pan will be promoting Circular Holdings. Preaching in Zhongguancun caused a great sensation. "
Jing Gao nodded slightly and drank red wine. With his current level, he naturally understands what circular holding is. According to the outside world, his net worth is generally sliding down to US$5 billion. The way to avoid this is through cross-holding.
This can also be regarded as a method of circular holding, but the purpose is different. Generally speaking, the purpose of circular holding is to push up the valuation of a certain company and to gain nothing.
Professor Zhang continued: "Mr. Pan not only gave lectures, but also gave practical demonstrations. He bought a piece of land in a commune at the foot of the Great Wall in Huairou. The house there is still there. Mr. Jing, you can go and have a look later." Souhou built a commune canteen there to keep.
Mr. Pan speculated this piece of land to a value of 400 million through circular holdings, and then took this valuation to Zhongguancun for financing, which was a great success! "
Jing Gao pondered, picking up the fish maw from the "fried seafood mixed" bowl, and asked: "Hey, Professor Zhang, I have a question. Those who were doing business in Zhongguancun at that time should not be considered reckless, right? It's so obvious It’s impossible for them not to notice the mistakes and omissions, right?”
Professor Zhang said with a smile: "This is the brilliance of people. The return promised by Mr. Pan is 25%, and it is in US dollars! The black market exchange rate at that time was nearly 1:10, while the official exchange rate was 1:2.
At that time, the whole country was earning foreign exchange and was in short supply. People who do computer business in Zhongguancun are short of foreign exchange. And they want to make huge profits through this exchange rate difference. "
Jing Gao chewed the fish maw: "What an operation with the characteristics of the times!"
Professor Zhang smiled and said: "Mr. Jing, this is just the first step in his financial operation! Think about it, who will he have to sell to after building the house so that he can get US dollars?"
"Oh, is that for customers on Hong Kong Island?"
"Yes. At that time, the whole Hong Kong Island was saying that Mr. Pan's house was good and he could make a lot of money after buying it! The house price was raised to US$46,000 per square meter. This was quite an exaggeration in the 1990s."
Jing Gao was a little confused again: "The whole thing? I also have a real estate company under my banner. I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to achieve such a publicity caliber! As long as there is a market match, it's rare for my colleagues not to cause trouble!"
Professor Zhang took a sip of red wine and said with a smile: "That's the key. His real estate is so good because of the sales profit. It's 40-60."
"Mr. Pan Liu? This is a bit of a benefit!"
Professor Zhang smiled and shook his head, "That's not true. Mr. Pan only took 40% of the sales price. The remaining 60% was all given to the salesperson. At that time, all real estate practitioners in Hong Kong were helping Mr. Pan sell the house."
"Can you still make money like this?" Jing Gao was a little confused. He is no newbie in business now. A little simple calculation shows that this model is not profitable.
Professor Zhang said with a smile on his face: "So Mr. Pan is smart! The sales money he receives is US dollars, but the share he gives to the people in Hong Kong is RMB. So he is losing money on the surface, but he is actually making a lot of money.
I also learned this while having dinner with a friend. A friend bought Mr. Pan’s house. In the past twenty years, the bubble that was blown has long since burst. He regretted it now, so he showed me the signed sales contract.
】
I was still relatively young at the time, so I said: What does your lawyer do? He clearly sold you. Later I found out that the lawyer who signed the contract was a leading figure in Hong Kong’s legal profession at that time. "
Jing Gao was stunned immediately. It's hard to express his shock without saying "fuck"! Professor Zhang described the crazy and magical story in just a few sentences. Humanity, money…
After calming down, Jing Gao raised his glass: "Professor Zhang, this is a wonderful story. It is an eye-opener for me! It has never stopped before."
Professor Zhang smiled slightly, which made his eyes smaller and smaller, but they still shone with cunning and wisdom.
"Mr. Jing, actually you just said: Law is the minimum standard of morality. This sentence comes from the famous German jurist Yelin. But I think the way you can hear it is from the criminal law teacher in b account Arrived."
Jing Gao said with great interest: "Well, yes, that's right. Professor Luo is very popular at Station B. I particularly like the criminal law cases in his videos, which are very challenging to the brain."
There are often various divergent comments under Professor Luo’s videos. There is an example: After Zhang San and his girlfriend had a fight, the girlfriend jumped off the building angrily. So, is Zhang San guilty of negligent causing death?
This is a normal legal question. Then Xiu'er is here. I would like to ask: Zhang San’s girlfriend hit someone while jumping off the building, so is she guilty of throwing objects from high altitude?
Professor Zhang smiled, and then said seriously: "Mr. Jing, I have a problem with the Dafa Party! They pursue procedural justice and procedural fairness too much, and ignore the fairness of the results. Many times, I prefer ancient crimes for some crimes. Punishment.
Sometimes it’s time to get involved.
Our history has unique features compared with the West in terms of laws governing governance. It cannot be abandoned completely. Moreover, when the Dafa Party talks about procedural justice, it often engages in grafting methods to leave legal backdoors for the powerful! "
Jing Gao said with great interest: "Professor Zhang, please explain in detail." He is a person who is used to listening.
Professor Zhang was not in a hurry to talk about the legal differences, but changed the topic: "Mr. Jing, when it comes to circular holdings, Mr. Liu is the master of Kaipai. Well, your position as chairman of Uber has been dismissed by Liu Zhen. Alright?"
Jing Gao smiled when he heard this and said frankly: "Professor Zhang, I don't have a good relationship with Mr. Liu. It's not because of Yang Yuanqing, but Mr. Liu and his team are making people uncomfortable.
I originally planned to let Liu Zhen serve as chairman for a period of transition. But in the end she was let go. "
This was the advice given to him by the great beauty Siyue. The principle of employing people is said in books: Don’t trust people when you hire them, and don’t use people when you doubt them. However, in some entrepreneur speeches and success courses, it is said contrary to common sense: Be suspicious of people when you hire them, and use them when you are suspicious of people.
Who do you listen to?
In fact, if you actually run a business, you will understand what kind of path this is. These two completely opposite conclusions have their own conditions.
What the book says are wise sayings. Because what we are talking about here is the distribution of power. To do things is to win people. At this time, you need to give your subordinates some support and be patient. This is the key to success for heroes in history.
When Qin destroyed the six kingdoms, those monarchs seemed to be stupid, and their counter-intentional schemes often took effect. For example, Li Mu!
So what is the book about? They are all important matters of the country and the matter of life and death. You manage the "little things" and make small profits in an enterprise, but you use it to refute the experience summarized by history. Are you seriously being funny?
In business, it is said: Use people with suspicion, and use people with suspicion. Mainly, it means that institutional constraints should be given to employment. Some managers have to be used even if they are not suitable, after all, no one is perfect.
But, but…
If your company reaches the level of a multinational enterprise, this business experience cannot be used. Because the interests involved are too great. So after Siyue saw that he was wary of Liu Zhen, she suggested that he kill Liu Zhen.
Even though Liu Zhen is a veteran of Uber, he has made great achievements in its development process.
No poison, no husband!
Compassion does not command troops!
Thunder, rain and dew are all your grace.
These are some of the views Siyue advised him. Igao's personality is actually a bit benevolent. He gave Liu Zhen adequate resignation compensation and maintained a good personal relationship with her. Of course, his kindness does not mean that he is stupid. He quickly removed Liu Zhen from the Phoenix Group's system and would not use her again.
Professor Zhang smiled and nodded, "Mr. Liu and his family are actually regarded as persons acting in concert. But the law does not think so. This is problematic..."
Just eating and chatting like this, the meal was extremely harmonious. Eat from 7pm to 10pm. Jing Gao successfully invited Professor Zhang to work as a researcher at Taichu Think Tank, and then sent him to the entrance of the first floor of Poly Building to show his respect and attention.
He has always respected qualified professors.
