How did i become a god
Chapter 274
The view of the very fashionable restaurant is very good. In the autumn, the Huangpu River is heading east.At the seat next to the window, Guo Lingyu looked at Jing Gao with shining eyes, waiting for his reply.
Jing Gao did not pretend to be profound, smiled faintly, and said, "Okay. I am waiting for Goldman Sachs' capital to come in."
Goldman Sachs and **** are the top investment banks in the United States.However, times have changed!Now is not the time for the top five US investment banks to be at the top of the global financial food chain before the 2008 financial crisis.
Moreover, even if it was, he would not be afraid!
In China, some people often quote reports from Goldman Sachs and Xiao Mo, what about this matter.There are also reports from the three major US rating agencies, how and how.Don't you know that they often sing the tune of China's collapse theory?
China’s economic issues and business affairs, if you believe in the Americans, your mind is flooded?Anyway, he despised this financial comprador very much.
Therefore, Liu Qing should not expect him to kneel down when he hears the word "Goldman Sachs".What about Goldman Sachs?It's nothing more than holding the pass before the US stock market goes public!Who are you scaring?Waiting for you to list Didi on NASDAQ, believe it or not I have killed Didi in China?
Guo Lingyu's evaluation of Jing Gao is very high.After meeting in Shencheng last time, she realized that she must maintain the relationship with Jing Gao.At this moment, I wanted to persuade Jing Gao. The energy of Wall Street's financial capital is terrifying.But after thinking about it, he smiled and raised the tall glass, "Jing, domineering!"
Jing Gao smiled, "Miss Guo, your ass is completely crooked." Raised the wine glass and touched her lightly.
Guo Lingyu smiled softly, with bright eyes and a charming smile, and said, "Ms. Jing, I am only entrusted by Jean to communicate as a private person. This does not mean that I hold the position of Didi. I appreciate you very much. Reply. I think it’s more appropriate for you to hold Uber, a company than you own shares in Didi."
This is more frank.
Jing Gao smiled and nodded, and said, "Ms. Guo, you help me bring a message to President Liu. My original intention remains the same, and I am still willing to buy Didi. In addition, any shareholder of Didi who wants to withdraw, I am willing to follow Didi purchased at a price calculated from the latest valuation of $33.5 billion in September."
"Chuck." Guo Lingyu said with a smile: "Ms. Jing, I will bring it there. However, you continue to compete with Jean! Moreover, Didi's investors should have signed an agreement and cannot sell their shares. To Didi’s competitors."
Jing Gao said: "So, let the shareholders of Didi push Didi to merge with Uber." He has to consider the withdrawal of Didi's state-owned capital.
Guo Lingyu propped his elbows on the dining table, looked at Jing's height for a few seconds with wonderful eyes, then smiled, sipped the red wine, and said sternly: "Ms. Jing, you are going to kill Didi!"
How could she not clearly understand Jing Gao's business strategy?It is important to know that Uber (China) is the dominant player in the market.The subsidy war continues, and $33.5 billion is likely to be Didi's highest valuation.
If Jinggao is willing to buy Didi at this price, many investors will be satisfied.There is no resentment or blame on Jing Gao at all.
Then, the crux of the problem comes.The management of Uber and Didi are unwilling to give up control of their respective companies.However, Uber is dominated by the Phoenix Fund, and Jing Gao alone has the final say.Didi is not in charge of Cheng Wei and Liu Qing.Capital has the final say.
Moreover, Uber currently has an advantage and can be delayed.How do you drag Didi over there?The more you drag the valuation, the lower the valuation will be.
Jing Gao smiled and drank red wine.Talking with smart people is comfortable!It is more comfortable to chat with a smart and beautiful beauty.Eyes passed through the neckline of her pink shirt.This female murderer has a gully.
"Hey..." Guo Lingyu reacted at this moment, sitting upright with one hand covering his neckline, looking at Jing Gao in a weird look, and then generously invited: "Ms. Jing, this meal is almost done. Let's go upstairs. Have a drink at the bar? I heard that the view above is very good."
I think the scenery just now is very good.Jing Gao smiled in his heart and declined, "Miss Guo, let's take another day. When the business is finished, I will invite you to drink."
Obviously, Liu Qing asked Guo Lingyu to spread the word, which is the beginning of a series of confrontations and negotiations between Didi and Uber.Not a summary.His energy needs to be spent on business, instead of letting go of his vigilance now, go drinking with Guo Lingyu and admire the river view, thinking about how to be a miner, open the tunnel and expand it.
Guo Lingyu's eyes moved slightly, smiled and nodded: "Okay."
…
…
At noon on the 24th, Liu Qing was also meeting with "friends".As China's financial center, Didi also has many shareholder representatives or persons in charge who live in the city.
The bright sunshine fell on the terrace, and Liu Qing, wearing a shirt and trousers, ate French food with Shen Nanpeng of Hongbin (China) and Xie Ying, managing director of Ali Capital.
Alibaba Capital is the strategic investment arm of Alibaba.There are 5 teams.3 in China, 1 in the United States, and 1 in Southeast Asia.The capital scale exceeds 20 billion US dollars.These five teams report directly to Cai Chongxin.
Mr. Cai’s name is believed to be known to anyone who is familiar with Alibaba’s founding experience.This is Jack Ma’s most important assistant, and can be called the right-hand man.
And Xie Ying, the director and general manager of Ali Capital, is responsible for the investment in the TMT field.There are three others at the same level in China.
Take Ali's current status in the domestic business community.To be honest, even if Shen Nanpeng is a business tycoon and Liu Qing is the daughter of President Liu, it is impossible for President Cai to fly from the United States to Modu to have a meal with them.
Shen Nanpeng groaned, "Mr. Liu, do you think Jing Gao of the Phoenix Fund will accept your terms?"
Liu Qing elegantly cut the steak and said: "From his personal pursuit, he is unlikely to agree. After all, he once acquired Uber at a premium of 2 billion US dollars, which shows that he is very optimistic about the online car-hailing business. However, from In terms of self-interest and the actual situation, I think he will accept it. Didi can give Phoenix Fund a board of directors when necessary."
She met Shen Nanpeng and Xie Ying for dinner today, and wanted to get her merger plan approved by the two people.
Shen Nanpeng nodded slightly.
Xie Ying praised: "Mr. Liu is so courageous! The subsidy war between Didi and Uber really can't go on, it's totally meaningless. Mr. Liu is very sincere on this condition. It's okay to make a moderate profit. "
He is investing.The valuation of Internet companies is sometimes very false.Even the investors and the invested companies have raised their valuations together.
Liu Qing's plan seems to seriously damage the interests of Didi shareholders.Come to think of it, Didi's valuation is $33.5 billion.Merger with the $15 billion Uber.How much benefit must be transferred out?
Calculate this subtraction.
But it is not.How high is the cost if Didi exchanges new shares for Uber shares?How much does it cost to issue new shares?The number of shares of Didi’s shareholders has not changed, except that their shareholding ratios have been diluted by 50%.However, as long as the valuation of the merged Didi continues to rise, the value of these shares of each shareholder will not lose 50%.
So this is a balance point.All investors must understand one truth: it is safe to lose money.It's not about how much you value, your shares will eventually be sold at this price.This is purely thinking too much.
Public information shows that Uber received a US$3.5 billion financing from Saudi Arabia in June 2016, and Uber’s valuation was as high as US$68.1 billion.Therefore, Xindidi still has upward potential in terms of valuation.
If Liu Qing can use this method to "knock out" Uber, this is victory!This is the practice of safeguarding the interests of investors.
Liu Qing raised his glass and said with a smile: "Mr. Shen and Mr. Xie, thank you for your support."
"Cheers!" Shen Nanpeng and Xie Ying toasted and drank together.
At this moment, Liu Qing’s cell phone rang. She checked that the number was from Guo Lingyu. After thinking about it, she answered the phone at the table and asked confidently: "Lily, you talked with Jing Gao How is it going?"
Of course, Guo Lingyu would not show her inner tendencies in front of Liu Qing. She was entrusted to be loyal to others, and said with a slight emotion: "Jean, Jing Gao rejected your proposal. It is clear that if Didi wants to introduce Goldman Sachs's capital went public in the United States, and he stayed with him to the end."
Liu Qing's face suddenly turned ugly, and she pursed her lips: "So, does he want to fight Didi to the end?"
"That's not true. Jing Gao wants me to convey his thoughts to you. He is still willing to buy Didi. And he said that any shareholder of Didi wants to withdraw at this time, he is willing to use Didi's September financing estimate. The purchase price of shares calculated at 33.5 billion U.S. dollars."
Liu Qing reacted instantly, Jing Gao's purpose of releasing this "news".Can't help but take a breath, "hiss~"She is in great trouble.
After hanging up the phone, Liu Qing broke free from the anxiety a little bit. Looking at the two persons in charge of Hongbin (China) and Ali Capital sitting in front of him, she couldn't help smiling bitterly and her head was a little dizzy.This is really a face slap!
She said just now that Jing Gao would definitely agree to her terms from the perspective of interest, but Jing Gao not only refused, but slapped her back.
Shen Nanpeng sat at the table and asked concerned: "Mr. Liu, are you okay?"
…
…
The lunch ended in a slightly silent atmosphere.With such big news, it is impossible for Liu Qing to conceal the two partners.
Again, the magic is a domestic financial center.The network of various connections here is like a spider web.Maybe this time, Uber shareholders and Didi shareholders are eating at the same table.There is no way to hide it.
"Goodbye, two!" Liu Qing shook hands with Shen Nanpeng and Xie Ying. He came out of the French restaurant on the fifth floor and called the assistant. When she walked out of the mall, a Mercedes-Benz had already stopped by the road.
In the afternoon sun, Liu Qing, who was wearing only a shirt and taking off her jacket, suddenly felt a bit cool in the wind blowing between the high-rise buildings, "Autumn is here!" He got in the car and said, "Go back to the hotel."
"Okay, President Liu."
Liu Qingxian met with Guo Lingyu to learn more about the content of her conversation with Jing Gao.Then one person returned to the Ritz-Carlton Pudong, where she was staying, and spent two hours alone in the room meditating. At six o'clock in the afternoon, he called Didi's founder and CEO Cheng Wei.
"Liu Qing, have you had dinner?"
In the luxurious five-star hotel suite, Liu Qing looked at the bright night view of the magic city outside the window, not much worse than Manhattan, New York. Listening to Cheng Wei’s voice, a thousand thoughts came to her heart, and she didn’t know what to do Reply.
On the phone, Cheng Wei felt something was wrong and asked: "Liu Qing, are you okay?"
Liu Qing's voice was a bit hoarse, and said in a low mood: "Cheng, our... business is about to end."
When joining Didi, she did not expect such a day.When Didi dominated the Chinese market, she did not expect such a day.
This entrepreneurial journey cannot be said to have failed.After all, it can be sold for $33.5 billion.However, Didi developed and expanded little by little by her and the team.Sell it, can she not feel bad?But, if it doesn't sell, can Didi still hold it?
In the darkness, Liu Qing finally couldn't help crying.
