How did i become a god
Chapter 316
Ten days are fleeting.During this period of time, in the outside world, people were angry or cursed on the Internet about Uber (China) as a "foreign" company for its unprofessionalism and unkindness.It's like a carnival.
Others talked about Uber’s bad luck: highlighting the car accident that happened in the past, talking about the embarrassment of Jinggao, mocking Uber’s quietness, Uber now all resources are dealing with safety issues.These people are arguing fiercely about how Didi should merge with Uber, looking to the future, with a strong sense of participation.
Of course, the most talked about, and the most talked about by people who know the inside story, is that Ali's No. 2 character, Cai Congxin, flew back from the United States, the conductor Ruo De, in one fell swoop to reverse the decline of Didi.There is also praise for Cheng Wei and Liu Qing.They are specific implementers.There is also praise for the rising star Ren Zhi.The tiger father has no dogs!His decisiveness, his precise strategic vision, are all talked about in some wine bureaus.
No matter how you look at it, Didi’s "Desperate Counterattack" against Uber’s acquisition is a classic business case.
It seems to echo what Jack Ma said in a debate some years ago: Ali is the Air Force.There is no saying in the world that the Army can beat the Air Force.
This time it was a combination of land, sea and air, and a violent bombing of the Phoenix Fund.First hit him with a "Van Vleet ammunition".Slap with the left hand, and draw another with the right hand.Just ask you: Are you convinced?
however…
After Xie Shihuang called Ma Yun on October 18, Cai went from Xinfei to the magic city to deploy a confrontation. After more than 20 days passed, some subtle changes accumulated sand into towers, and some clues and qualitative changes began to appear.
In these twenty-odd days, the waves set off by Ali and Yinhe were as turbulent as the Qiantang River on August 15th: the waves are like mountains and snow.But after all, the tide will recede.Only then will people discover that among the waves that cover the sky and the sun, someone has hit the water in the middle!
As the tide receded, that figure would gradually become clear.He will bring darkness, shrouded above people and above their heads!
…
…
It was raining in the deep city at night, and the sky was extremely gloomy.Jing Gao arrived at Shencheng Airport in a black Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle.
He didn't want to fly back to the magic capital or the capital, but came to pick up the plane.Cao Danqing, on behalf of Phoenix Fund, completed the acquisition of a company with a third-party payment license, and flew to Shenzhen to see him.
The night is getting darker.In the drizzle, the car lights flashed in the driveway outside the airport.Jing Gao waited outside the airport reception hall.At this time, the phone's ringtone rang suddenly.
Jing Gao answered the phone, and Guo Lingyu's clear voice came from inside, "Mr. Jing, are you... okay recently?" Certain voices demanding Uber's suspension of business for rectification have reached their peak recently.She heard it slightly.The regulatory authority will make a decision in the near future.
There was a pause in her tone, and she could hear that she was concerned.Jing Gao calmly said, "Miss Guo, thank you."
"You're welcome." Guo Lingyu said sincerely: "Mr. Jing, no matter what the final outcome of your confrontation with Didi and Ali this time is, I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with you in the future. Whether I represent Goldman Sachs or Guo's ."
There was a car accident not long ago, which was a natural disaster for the Phoenix Fund.It was completely unexpected.Although she had a good personal relationship with Liu Qing, she recognized the strength that Jing Gao showed.
Jing Gao felt a little touched in his heart, and smiled, "Thank you."
After exchanging a few words with Guo Lingyu, Jing Gao put his mobile phone in his trouser pocket, pondered for a few seconds, tilted his head and asked Jiang Zi next to him, "The meager side still refuses to cooperate with the review?"
When he was a netizen, he also hated controlling comments.Scolding people are unhappy.But now that the public's emotions vent to him, he still wants to control it.This is purely a question of position.
Jiang Zi was plump, dressed in a magenta shirt and gray one-step skirt, dressed in a professional style. A mature and charming beautiful woman said, "Yes."
Jing Gao nodded softly, "Say to Wu Jingshu and immediately buy Sina shares. I want a controlling stake."
Many people came to pick up the airport at night.With Jiang Zi's pretty appearance, plump and graceful figure, attracting the attention of men.This is what Jing Gao said that caused many people to smile knowingly.I want to buy Baidu, Ali, and Tencent too!Bragging and not drafting.
Jiang Zi didn't care about the smiles around him, and said seriously: "Okay, Mr. Jing."
After a while, Cao Danqing appeared tall and slim at the airport exit.After receiving Danqing, Jing Gao took her directly back to the Guanlan Golf Villa.Wei Chenjun and Li Yifeng each led a team in the hotel.Jing Gao's villa lives here in Jiang Zi, Dong Youwei, as well as bodyguards and nanny.
After dinner, Jing Gao and Cao Danqing sat at the square table in the small living room on the third floor of the villa, watching the pouring rain outside.
The house is very quiet, with soft lighting.
Cao Danqing sat at the table, gently holding Jing Gao's right hand with both hands, feeling the roughness of his palm, looking at his slightly thin face, the huge pressure, she suddenly understood in this situation, Softly said: "Brother Jing, shall we be okay?"
Huge wealth not only brings enjoyment, but also brings great pressure, as well as great crisis.If Jing Gao is going to jail, she is willing to accompany him in.
Jing Gao smiled and said warmly: "Dan Qing, what do you think?"
Cao Danqing could never forget the gentleness, calmness and determination in his eyes when Jing Gao asked her back.It was as if winter was approaching in the north at this time, but in the south, it was warm as spring beside him.
On the morning of November 12th, Liu Zhen had just finished a meeting in a third-tier city and called Jing Gao. He was tired, weak, weak, and fearful. "Mr. Jing, thank God, the fire has gone out. "
Jing Gao held a mobile phone video conference in the afternoon, using Tencent's software, and it started on time at 2 o'clock. The participants were all senior executives from the Phoenix department. He only said one sentence to end the conference: Let's start!
If you compare this confrontation to war, now is the time to sound the Charge and launch a counterattack!
If you compare the stages of this confrontation to the four seasons, now is the time of winter!To the enemy, be as cruel and ruthless as the severe winter.
On the evening of the 12th, all Uber users received a prompt to update the software version.The updated software provides a new payment option: Phoenix Pay.What’s more eye-catching is to open a prompt box that pops up in the new version of the software, “In order to repay the support and love of all new and old users, Uber will hold a free taxi monthly event.”
…
…
Didi's headquarters are in Beijing.
Cheng Wei was eating and drinking in a private dining room in a courtyard with a few friends from Wang Gang around eight o'clock in the evening.Between the coveted and intertwined, several people are very happy, pointing the country, talking about the past and the present.
"To say that it is Mr. Cai who is so good that he made Uber half alive. He has gone back to the United States for vacation now."
Wang Gang said, "Hey, Cai always goes back to spend time with his wife and children. Today is Saturday. We are forced to work overtime on weekends."
"Haha."
"Mr. Cheng, have you received the request of the World Internet Conference in Wuzhen? With Didi Chuxing's performance in the Internet field, you should have been invited to it last year."
Cheng Wei was fat and white. He held his glasses and leaned on the wooden chair. He drank a little high, smiled and waved his hand, and said, "I got it. I'll leave in two days." At this moment, Cheng Wei shen The phone on the table of the Eight Immortals rang.
The sound in the box suddenly stopped.Cheng is always NO1.
Cheng Wei answered the phone, and his subordinates' hurried voice came from inside, "Cheng, Uber is crazy. They are going to offer a free taxi ride for one month. They have just prompted on the software. Are we following?"
"What?" Cheng Wei missed his hand and knocked the wine glass he had on the ground, but he didn't notice it at all. His drunkenness turned into cold sweat on the spot. He didn't speak for a long time, and then said: "Let me think about it."
"Old Wang, you come out with me." Cheng Wei called Wang Gang out of the box with a distorted voice. In the courtyard of the courtyard, against the biting cold wind, he quickly said the situation, "We have to hurry up. Contact Mr. Xie and ask about the situation."
This morning, shortly after the work meeting in a third-tier city ended, the two of them received the news.Whether Uber will be closed for rectification in that city is a weather vane.Didi sent someone to stare there.
The two of them are also asking President Xie and President Cai's assistant today about the situation.I want to know whether the relevant authorities will stop Uber nationwide for rectification.It is said that the results will be given recently.Haven't they heard the specific news yet?
And from Uber's sudden promotion of such a big "free" promotion, they smelled a bad signal.
Wang Gang said: "I will contact Mr. Xie now. You can contact Liu Qing as soon as possible. Uber is coming fiercely. This is going to cause trouble!"
The wine bureau quickly dispersed.The few people who were still touting were slightly embarrassed.It looks like something big happened to Didi.Otherwise, why did Cheng Wei leave in such a hurry?
In the morning of the next day, Cheng Wei, Liu Qing and 11 Uber executives met to report the latest situation.The atmosphere in the bright conference room is a bit depressing.
Everyone already knows that when Uber launched the new version, the regulatory authorities had just concluded their meeting and decided not to suspend Uber for rectification, but required their own rectifications to prevent such incidents and reported them to the regulatory authorities for approval.
It is equivalent to a yellow card warning.The next time you make a mistake, it is possible that two yellows will turn into one red.
But it is not this that makes all Didi executives feel depressed.This can only be Uber through the "crisis", but Uber launched a fierce counterattack.It's free to play, and people all over the country love it!Regardless of the fierce scolding on the Internet, these people will still use Uber.
How can Didi play Uber like this?
Vice President Lao Zhu said: "Mr. Cheng, Mr. Liu, the US$4 billion that Alibaba Capital has financed us has left about US$1.5 billion in these twenty days. This is not enough. But we will not follow Die. The data shows that from last night to this morning, our total number of orders in first- and second-tier cities plummeted to 5%. What a fate!"
Cheng Wei sat at the main seat of the rectangular conference table, rubbing his face. He didn't sleep last night, "This is very unreasonable. CIC and CICC are our shareholders. Jing Gao's doing this would offend a group of people. Human."
"Yeah. That kid doesn't want to mess up, right?"
When Liu Qing was about to speak, the phone vibrated suddenly.She went out with her mobile phone. After a while, Liu Qing came back and pressed her mouth vigorously, "I just received the news that the Didi shares that CIC already owns were transferred to a company on Hong Kong Island at a valuation of US$33.5 billion. "Satellite 4" private equity fund. CDH Investment in the magic city also transferred its shares."
"Mr. Liu, didn't Mr. Wu of CDH's investment promise not to transfer?" The financial old payment was a little frustrated.
Since this time, the private contest between Didi and Uber has not stopped.Not only in public opinion, but the two parties' wooing, differentiation, and consolidation of their respective shareholders are enough to write a book that is as complicated as the "Three Kingdoms Kill".
CDH Investment has made it clear that it is optimistic about Didi's future.Even if the shares are to be sold, Didi will be notified in advance.
Liu Qing sighed lightly and said the whole story. "The Phoenix Fund promised to the Magic City to set up a chip design office with at least 20,000 people in the Magic City. It will be in line with Huawei's Magic City Research Institute. Just this morning, the intention was just discussed. Well, they paid 1 billion U.S. dollars to the accounts jointly supervised by both parties. Real money is smashed."
"What chip design does the Phoenix Fund do? Who are they bluffing?"
"They have a mobile phone company, you should have heard of it, called Coolpad. It's useless to question their determination and motivation. They do have a need for this."
Cheng Wei grasped his scalp hard.His scalp is a little numb.If Jing Gao was so willing to throw money, he probably killed their hearts, right?Some time ago, Ali's various methods were against the Phoenix Fund.
The navy scolded, splashed dirty water, reported, suppressed, digging corners...
…
…
Didi's internal meeting only ended in the afternoon.Cheng Wei invited Liu Qing to sit in his office for a while.
The early winter in Beijing in mid-November is a bit dry and cold.The air-conditioning in Cheng Wei's office is very comfortable.
He threw his coat on the seat, poured a cup of tea for Liu Qing, first spoke to ease the pressure in the two of them, "The meeting room caused by the bunch of smokers just now was full of smoke. I also contributed a dozen cigarettes. I'm wronged. You smoke secondhand smoke."
Liu Qing sat on the sofa next to the coffee table, holding a tea cup, "I'm used to it. Mr. Cheng, we have to talk to Mr. Xie. We have to talk to the Phoenix Fund."
In fact, according to Mr. Cai’s vision, the focus of the two parties’ wrestling is actually to win over their respective shareholders.If Didi relies on the power of Ali and Yinhe, as well as one-sided public opinion, to draw in more Uber shareholders, it can promote the merger.
As time goes by, in fact, the two sides are also approaching the point of view.
However, while this matter was being done, there was an accident such as a car accident on Uber, so another focus was added: whether Uber will be suspended.If it is, it is a godsend.
The two of them communicated with Ren Zhi.The Galaxy Group is working hard.
However, today is indeed close to a showdown.The two of them suddenly discovered that at the end of the confrontation, it seemed that Didi had not enough chips!
Cheng Wei nodded and said, "I already called Lao Wang and Mr. Xie at noon. Mr. Xie said, you can talk first. He is already looking for a middleman to talk to Jing Gao."
Just after speaking, Cheng Wei's cell phone rang."It's Mr. Xie." Cheng Wei answered the call, pressed the speakerphone and placed the phone on the coffee table, "Mr. Xie!"
On the phone, Xie Shihuang smiled bitterly, "Xiao Cheng, I found someone to give Jing Gao a message, but he refused. Wait a second. I need to report to President Ma and President Cai."
Three combos from Idaka!
Cheng Wei and Liu Qing looked at each other, feeling a trace of despair and regret in their eyes.
In fact, it was good to sell to Uber at a high valuation in September.
