King of Capital

Before getting married, Yu Tong said that their home was too small to display his collection, so Xie Jingxing planned to build a garden.

Through Mr. Ma’s relationship, Li Ying, the daughter-in-law of Yunfeng Fund from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, helped him obtain a piece of land around the West Lake campus of the China Academy of Art in Hangzhou.

The 23-mu property land was auctioned for billion yuan. If it is built into a garden, the area will be twice as large as the Humble Administrator's Garden, and it will be large enough to accommodate more than a dozen quiet courtyards and small buildings in a staggered manner.

But after returning to China, Yu Tong did not choose to join Zhejiang University. The main reason was that building a garden was too conspicuous and somewhat exceeded the rules.

Xie Jingxing thought about it carefully and realized this was the truth, so he simply took the opportunity to transfer it to Evergrande.

Domestic land transfer taxes are extremely high, so this transaction is considered as an investment in Evergrande, and the profits from the construction and sale of real estate will be shared. With 200 mu of land, a real estate with a construction area of ​​40 to 50 square meters can be built, and the return on investment of two or three times is relatively stable.

He only provided the land, and all other costs were paid by Xu Jiayin, otherwise it would be too disrespectful to Brother Belt's sincerity.

In fact, Xie Jingxing couldn't really understand this person's mentality. There was no direct conflict of commercial interests between the two parties. Why would he take the initiative to offer billions of real money profits for a little personal grudge?

This made him so angry that if he didn't take the money, he would be vindictive, and if he took the money, he would threaten and rob. He was really uncomfortable.

"So be it."

Evergrande acted very quickly and came up with a preliminary cooperation plan in about ten days. Xie Jingxing took a quick look at it and reluctantly closed the folder.

Let him bear the blame, Xu Jiayin just needs to be at ease and stop having wild thoughts and thinking about revenge against each other, which may really lead to some deep hatred.

Chen Xi sat in the co-pilot seat and looked at the sketch, picking out the key points and explaining: "Boss Xu specifically asked that the buildings near the West Lake view be designed as large apartments of 300 square meters. We will select a number of good houses for you to keep, so that you can use them as gifts in the future."

“How many sets does he want to keep?”

Xie Jingxing was speechless. It made no difference whether the house was given away or sold. In essence, it was all his money and the profit he deserved!

Doing all this trivial stuff by himself is no wonder Evergrande has such a unique culture of flattery. It can be said that the founder has injected soul into the company.

Chen Xi pursed her lips and said, "He said that Evergrande will only keep a few necessary sets for business gifts. You can keep as many sets as you want."

"Keep 50 units, and then exchange them for existing units in Evergrande's properties in Beijing and Shanghai... Also, go and ask Sunac if they are willing to exchange them."

Xie Jingxing suddenly had an idea. Since he was already a villain, he might as well practice and verify how vicious his current image was.

Xu Jiayin suffered heavy bleeding and Jia Yueting suffered broken bones, but Sun Hongbin made hundreds of millions by selling him a jade seal, while Sun Hongbin remained untouched and enjoyed his beauty. This inevitably affected his brotherly friendship with Xu and Jia.

"Didn't Xu Jiayin give you a set?" Xie Jingxing suddenly joked with interest.

Chen Xi was stunned for a moment, shaking his head and gesturing repeatedly: "No, I have been in contact with his assistant via phone, email, and WeChat."

"It's not grand enough."

Xie Jingxing smiled, and the car stopped at the right time. He then pushed the door, got out of the car, buttoned up his suit, and walked towards the venue.

Chen Xi's heart was pounding so fast that she had no time to think as she hurried along. Her current annual salary plus bonuses and dividends were guaranteed to be 130 million after tax, which was definitely a high salary, but it seemed modest compared to the work she was doing.

Although they are both assistants, Song Anli can remember who gave a gift but who did not, and she can remember them clearly in her little black notebook.

She can't do that. She has to endure five years of hard work. Even if she doesn't get any credit, she has at least worked hard. It will depend on the situation at that time.

Xie's capital is getting better and better, and the internal industry is looking for an external position, transforming from a confidant to a core team. Xie's development is limited, and she will change jobs or start her own business. Mr. Xie will also give her a ride for the sake of face.

For now, I just keep a few shopping cards in my pocket occasionally. My work and life are already very comfortable. I will leave the days of making money for later.

"Trembling with fear, treading on thin ice."

Chen Xi stood with his hands hanging down, taking in the standard standing postures and manners of many assistant colleagues in the venue, as if they were cast in the same mold, as well as the industry leaders who were chatting and laughing with different expressions.

She clenched her palms and lowered her head slightly. Fortunately, since she met Xu Jiayin in Guangzhou, she has been busy with the year-end summary of investment projects in the past ten days.

I have been to many places, including Meizu in Zhuhai, Xinhai Fund in Hefei, and Yinshan in Chuncheng, before coming to Wuzhen today to attend the Internet Conference.

All work matters are communicated online and records are left, and some hints that are not understood are automatically skipped.

"encourage women to plan their career for next 30 years."

The woman with neck-length hair spoke eloquently in front of the camera. Her magnetic mezzo-soprano voice was clear and logical, and she frequently threw out words like "encouragement", "power" and "challenge". It was obvious that she was a girl who had experienced the baptism of the American workplace.

Not far away, an old man in a loose suit, typical of a farmer-entrepreneur style, poked his head out and asked, "What is she talking about for 30 years?"

"The reporter asked: There are many discussions about gender discrimination in the United States about how it is difficult for women to enter Fortune 500 companies or be promoted to senior management positions, so is it more difficult for women in the workplace in China?" Xie Jingxing acted as the translator.

Cheng Wei pushed up his glasses and asked, "How did she answer?"

"Liu Qing said she could always be the president. Although she is not popular with others, this is the case all over the world. In China, Didi's working environment is already very good. Two years ago, it launched the 'Female Power Charity Alliance' to encourage female employees to make long-term career plans and strive for job opportunities."

Xie Jingxing shrugged his shoulders and added in a low voice: "It's decent, not bad."

"The Americans are not holding their farts in well." Cheng Wei joked disapprovingly.

When Didi and Kuaidi were competing fiercely, Xie Jingxing intervened directly and instructed Liu Qing to join the company as soon as possible, and then formed the Women's Power Alliance to fight against Kuaidi's Women's Day marketing activities.

Now she is the president, talking about women's power externally and expanding her influence among female employees internally...

Just don’t go too far with the small fight, just think of it as being spoiled, and Maxim’s cooperation will enhance the brand image.

If Liu Qing really wanted to learn from the Americans, Zhu Jingshi would now be feeding mosquitoes in Southeast Asia, and Yan Wenhua has already taken his place and firmly established himself as the third position in the company's management.

If Xie Jingxing could make her cry once, he could make her cry a second time. Cheng Wei felt stable and at ease.

"Jingxing, reporter Smith wants to ask you a few questions."

The two were chatting when Liu Qing came back from the interview, followed by a white man with a press pass.

Xie Jingxing smiled apologetically and said in English: "Welcome to Wuzhen. I'm very sorry that I can't accept the interview now. I can answer a few more questions for you at the theme forum this afternoon."

"OK, New York Times, we have a deal."

The white man raised his interview pass and introduced himself. Without any further ado, he turned around to interview someone else.

Last year's first World Internet Conference was very successful, and this year's second conference has reached a higher level. The boss will give an opening speech later, and the guests and media attending the conference will truly come from all over the world.

Liu Qing was interviewed about women, and the theme of Mr. Ma's closing speech was Internet freedom or administrative supervision. Various opinions were expressed, and Xie Jingxing had no intention of speaking more. "I just saw Jim Goetz from Sequoia. Didn't you get in touch?" Liu Qing reminded.

Xie Jingxing raised his eyebrows: "He sent me an email. It is not convenient for him to meet me when he comes to China this time."

"You're getting more and more exaggerated."

Liu Qing was amazed. Jim had become a Silicon Valley overlord-level investor with his masterpiece, the WhatsApp acquisition. It was inconvenient for him to meet his private friends in China. It was obvious that there was a huge conflict of interest between the two of them.

Xie Jingxing was speechless, he really didn't know what was going on. China was Shen Nanpeng's territory, Jim had wanted to invest in Ele.me before but he didn't make a move, they were just friends.

"Let's go, the opening ceremony is about to begin."

Cheng Wei urged with a confused look on his face. He could barely understand English, so naturally he couldn't understand the ins and outs of the venture capital circles at home and abroad.

Xie Jing Xing complained: "It's a waste for Liu Qing to shoot a magazine with you."

"You envy and hate our deep comradeship, but I don't care~" Cheng Weixiu said in English.

Xie Jing Xing retorted: "Magazines are a form of art that record and display those unforgettable moments in our lives. Are you willing to shoot a magazine with me, dear Qing?"

"...Oh my god, can you two jump into the river together? I'll donate two bottles of detergent so that you can take a good bath and remove the oil." Liu Qing almost vomited his breakfast and got goose bumps all over his body.

Xie Jingxing had a Nike-style smile on his face: "Then can you give me a bath? Use the roughest bath towel. I can handle it, dear Qing."

"You're going to die!"

Liu Qing's face turned red, he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists viciously, hammering his arms until they made a cracking sound.

Cheng Wei immediately gave a thumbs up and admitted defeat. Everyone can be a masochist, but to make 'Dear Qing' blush is something that cannot be imitated.

Xie Jingxing raised his chin in a showy manner and winked at him. The two men deliberately walked a few steps faster and laughed in tacit understanding in front of them.

Liu Qing was two steps behind and was so angry that he almost died. However, as he was angry, he couldn't help laughing.

Even though the promotional photo of her and Cheng Wei posing back to back was not particularly flattering, and even though a terrible vicious incident happened this summer and she needed to use her female identity to conduct crisis public relations.

Even though her ally Zhu Jingshi was kicked out to Southeast Asia to develop overseas markets, and various problems, big or small, did not affect Didi's average monthly cash burn of US$1 million as of today this year.

How long can Uber China hold on? Perhaps when the financial report is sent back to Silicon Valley this year, Kalanick will face questioning from the board of directors about his intolerance of the long-term huge money-burning and blood loss.

Didi has the most powerful and aggressive investors and the most desperate founder. There is no need to explain anything when this combination comes together, just a silly smile, and the outcome is doomed to be a winner.

Liu Qing had a premonition that the war would soon be over and all the efforts would eventually be rewarded.

…………

The opening ceremony ended just in time for lunch. On the first day of the event, the guests were rather reserved and most of them ate in the buffet restaurant provided by the organizer.

Liu Qing took the opportunity to find other investors to exchange feelings. Cheng Wei was arrested by official media reporters and was temporarily interviewed.

Xie Jingxing didn't need to run around. He could just find a Feng Shui treasure spot in the spacious and noisy restaurant. Just poking there would have the same effect as a red light at a busy intersection.

Pony Ma and Dongzi walked side by side, pretending to stop, look, and then pass by with their plates in their hands. Zhang Yiming and Su Hua waved from a distance. Zhou Hongyi and Zhang Chaoyang swaggered into the queue and ran a red light. Mr. Ma and Youku founder Gu Yongqiang walked around with their arms swaggering.

The aging first generation of heroes in the Internet industry, the Three Kingdoms overlords at their peak and the future new kings, waves of people come and go, but only the red light stands still.

The whole afternoon passed like this, and the pleasantries and lively socializing ended there.

In the afternoon, there was a thematic discussion in the sub-venue. None of the heroes, overlords, or new kings were willing to give up the center of the stage. The winner of the martial arts competition would ascend the throne.

"Today, many venture capital leaders came to our Internet conference. As the saying goes, where there is money, there is a future. So our topic focuses on this point and discusses the future of the Internet sharing economy."

The host sat sideways, facing the guests on the stage and read out his words: "Everyone knows that shared bicycles are a new track that has emerged this year. The big guys once discussed it fiercely in their circle of friends."

"Mr. Zhu, this interesting thing happened in your circle of friends, right? Could you please tell me first, which one represents the future of shared bicycles, Mobike or ofo?"

The show started with the gossip that the people loved to hear, and Zhu Xiaohu took the microphone with a look of pain on his face.

Xie Jing Xing laughed secretly. Although this fellow had a small nose and small eyes and a big mouth behind his back like a nagging woman, he was actually quite introverted in public.

He claims to be a conservative investor who respects objective facts and logic and is not good at talking about subjective principles.

"Low-end Disruption, low-end disruption, I have expressed it in my circle of friends before."

Zhu Xiaohu tried to slow down his speech and choose his words carefully: "Our country's Internet infrastructure and mobile smart terminal user base are still developing, and a large number of people do not need Mobike's advanced smart locks."

"Simply put, they are overserved by Mobike. Ofo's mechanical locks are low-tech but cheaper. In the past, present and future, simplicity of product and cost are undoubtedly paramount."

His speech was well-behaved and logically consistent, but it was boring and the audience didn't like it, so the host immediately handed the microphone to Xie Jingxing.

"I heard some people say that Mobike is 'Apple' straying from the path of luxury fashion items, and ofo wants to be an 'Android' platform to serve the public. This is basically consistent with what Mr. Zhu said."

Xie Jingxing looked down at the audience, searching for a few seconds before finding Hu Weiwei huddled in the corner: "I personally partially agree with this statement. Mobike is a technology-driven product."

"Mobike has no competitors and does not need to use comparison to show that it represents the future."

His words were more balanced and simply resolved the issue. The female intellectual was working tirelessly and persistently on making products, and the Peking University male was ambitiously clamoring to build a platform. Everyone had a bright future.

The host gasped. It was outrageous that the two bastards were so full and satisfied that they didn't care about other people's lives and wanted to destroy her job.

"Mr. Luo, what do you think of the speeches by Mr. Xie and Mr. Zhu, as well as the leadership of Mobike and ofo in the shared bike market in the past six months, and the relationship between them and later competitors." She turned her gun and looked at the audience.

"Ofo is indeed competing fiercely with Mobike, but I am very optimistic about this matter. This competition will kill all those who want to do shared bikes in the future."

A fat man with a big gap between his front teeth from Jinshajiang Venture Capital said with full energy, "We are fighting today. One company went bankrupt the day before yesterday, and another one went bankrupt yesterday. We are very happy."

"That's how we did it. Didi and Kuaidi won last year, and New DAE and Meituan won this year."

Fat Face nodded and said: "It would be best if everyone could just ride for free. Ofo has the confidence to do so."

"..."

These words were well received by the people. There were bursts of discussion and whispers at the scene. The host on the stage was stunned. Zhu Xiaohu's face turned black and his mouth twitched. Xie Jingxing smiled. (End of this chapter)
