King of Capital

"Mr. Wang, I am sorry for not welcoming you in person."

The door to the conference room opened with a bang, and the sound was heard before anyone arrived, which enabled air circulation and dispelled the slight oppression.

Wang Shi stood up to greet him. Seeing Liu Qiming appearing with a cheerful face, he couldn't help but clench his fists and unclench them, comforting himself that Xie Jingxing was probably not in the company today.

After all, it is normal for venture capitalists to travel all over the world on business, so it is reasonable for the president to be responsible for daily management work.

"Mr. Liu, first of all, I would like to thank your group for its support. During the stock market crash, we invested in Vanke and stabilized the stock price performance."

Wang Shi pulled himself together and got straight to the point: "Secondly, I think your decision to invest firmly when the capital market was pessimistic shows that you recognize Vanke's operating fundamentals and have confidence in the existing management team."

"So now, at this critical moment that will determine the life or death of Vanke, I come to you for help."

Compared with Wang Shi's gentle and confident attitude towards Zhan Yunping, at this time he was neither humble nor arrogant. He kept saying "help me", but in fact he was asking him a direct and pointed question.

The Jingxing Group invested in and raised its stake in the Vanke Group under his leadership. So when Yao Zhenhua entered the game in a brutal way, how should it choose between the two options?

"Mr. Wang, you have always been a banner in the business world. I can describe my opinion of you as someone I have admired for a long time."

Liu Qiming paused for a moment, then changed the subject and said seriously, "So I have to explain the misunderstanding to you. My group has no intention of participating in the competition for Vanke's equity, and has never had any contact with Baoneng or China Resources. This can withstand scrutiny from all walks of life."

"Mr. Liu, what are you talking about? To be honest, if your company had cooperated with Baoneng, I, Wang Shi, would have no chance of survival. I don't question your position at all." Wang Shi continued to ask questions head-on.

The combined shareholdings of Baoneng Group and China Resources are 38%. Jingxing Group has chosen to take sides in order to leverage Anbang Insurance, which is sitting on the fence. The combined shareholding ratio of the four companies just reaches 50%. He might as well go to bed as soon as possible.

In fact, when Vanke first went to the head of China Resources for help, the other party was hesitant and said that real estate was not China Resources' core business and that he could not provide much money to support Vanke in defending Yao Zhenhua, but agreed that Vanke would introduce other state-owned assets as major shareholders.

After getting the promise, he rushed back to Shenzhen to seek help from the local national senior railway group. However, this was not a turn-based game, and Yao Zhenhua on the other end used some chips to convince China Resources.

The latter then adopted a passive strategy to oppose Shenzhen Metro's entry, and failed to reply to text messages or answer phone calls, making it impossible to advance the legal process of the acquisition. As a result, Vanke's suspension period was repeatedly delayed.

In short, the whole process is developing dynamically and the positions of all parties may change at any time. Jingxing Group did not side with Baoneng and China Resources today, but what about tomorrow?
Wang Shi folded his hands across his chest, lowered his head and looked at the conference table, and slowly extended an invitation: "Mr. Liu, can you increase your shareholding to exceed Baoneng and become the largest shareholder of Vanke?"

"..."

Liu Qiming was speechless for a moment, and turned his head to look at Zhan Yunping, trying to confirm whether he had heard it wrong. The young Zhan was inexperienced and even more confused. He gave him a blank look and the two looked at each other in silence.

Wang Shi raised his head again and said firmly and resolutely: "I admire Mr. Xie's style of doing things very much. If Shenzhen Metro cannot acquire shares in Vanke, then introducing you is a historical choice."

"Mr. Wang, real estate is not our group's main business, and Vanke's situation is complicated, so it's hard for us to get involved."

Liu Qiming declined without hesitation. He didn't understand historical choices, but he knew that he would not make much money and would get into trouble.

This old guy must have been driven crazy by Yao Zhenhua. He fantasizes that he can get tens of billions of cash for help with just his words. He can't get that much money even if he sells his butt since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period!
"I have heard about your company's strategic investment in Wanda."

Wang Shi was not just talking nonsense. He calmly said, "As a leader in the commercial real estate sector, Vanke has always maintained a forward-looking strategic layout. Last year, we established Vanke Logistics in Zhuhai to develop cold chain logistics and real estate logistics park services based on the group's resources, and quickly covered the coastal city clusters in southern China."

"In this regard, there are also a lot of opportunities for cooperation between us, and we may create a good business story together."

He casually threw out the chips that made Liu Qiming's throat dry and Zhan Yunping's heart beat faster and filled with fear.

Vanke's logistics assets were sold at a low price to Yunhe Logistics in exchange for Jingxing Group increasing its stake in Vanke and supporting it to maintain its position as chairman.

You are committing a crime, do you know that?!
——Zhan Yunping was dumbfounded and screamed in his heart. He really couldn't expect that the old senior who was full of fighting spirit and worthy of admiration half an hour ago would turn into a ferocious hungry wolf.

"Mr. Liu, please arrange a time for Mr. Xie and I to meet." Wang Shi seemed to be instructing his own employees.

Zhan Yunping felt strangely familiar. He had just been manipulated in the same way. He ran upstairs with a shaky face to bring Mr. Liu...

Liu Qiming couldn't help but frown and looked at the founder of Vanke Group in front of him again. He vaguely saw the shadow of Mr. Xie, who was just as cruel and ruthless.

In the silent stalemate, Wang Shi's fingertips danced lightly and tapped the tabletop. The rhythm was regular, balanced and full of order. He was waiting leisurely for the answer to be revealed, or the ugly face would be revealed once the veil was lifted.

Shenzhen Metro and Vanke are exchanging shares for physical land, and the specific operation requires the approval of shareholders, which is a helpless move due to lack of money.

Jingxing Group has just completed a fundraising of 10 billion yuan and is fully capable of cutting the Gordian knot and bypassing various rules and restrictions to directly acquire stocks.

The most important thing is, who can influence whom between Xie Jingxing and China Resources?
Wang Shi also has a former father-in-law. As the son-in-law of Lao Taishan, he knows the feeling well, just as one knows whether the water is hot or cold when drinking it.

If Xie Jingxing would be happy to drink his wife's foot washing water, then there would be no need to say more, but up to now he has remained neutral and seems to have some independence.

If it can turn the tables and influence China Resources, then Vanke's crisis will be resolved in all aspects.

Wang Shi is willing to pay the corresponding price as long as he can ensure that he continues to control Vanke, even if this price is stained with the blood of small and medium shareholders.

He has created countless values ​​for Vanke over the past decades, and this is the reward he deserves!
"Boss Liu, it's not convenient for Boss Xie, right?"

Oftentimes, no answer is the answer. Wang Shi chuckled and broke the silence: "Forget it, give him a good start for me. I'll see you later when he's ready."

"I will report my work to Mr. Xie as soon as possible and contact you as soon as there is any progress." Liu Qiming explained sincerely, suppressing his displeasure.

"I understand. After all, the amount of funds involved is huge and involves many problems. It's not easy for Mr. Xie to be in charge."

"Not really. Mr. Xie is indeed busy with other things."

Wang Shi didn't take this perfunctory talk seriously. He just smiled and left. Liu Qiming politely saw him off, and the two walked out of the meeting room while talking.

Walking through the corridor and passing the toilet, he stopped and patted his stomach, mocking himself for being old.

"Manager Zhan, please send Mr. Wang off."

Liu Qiming estimated that the signing ceremony was almost over, so he didn't bother to be polite and simply left Zhan Yunping alone, and hurried back upstairs alone.

Wang Shi glanced at the stupid kid who was as dumb as a wooden stake, and couldn't help but sigh that in such a big company, from the president to the employees, one or two of them with such low level can manage tens of billions of funds. The foot washing water is really delicious.

He shook his head as if no one was around, holding up his trouser waist with both hands, and walked into the toilet like a prostitute.

…………

"…for the project, for the investors, for the entire industry, and for the entire society. Jingxing Group will live up to your trust and find where the market is prosperous." Liu Qiming pushed open the grand and heavy solid wood door and looked at the end of the long conference table.

Xie Jingxing sat in the center and made a promise solemnly. The participants stood up on both sides, and the applause gradually rose and echoed in the wide space for a long time.

At this point, Jingxing Investment Group has officially completed its strategic financing. Representatives from a total of nine shareholders, including the Social Security Fund, CITIC Capital, Shanghai Guotou, China Merchants Financial Investment, and China Construction Bank, witnessed the historic moment together.

After the meeting, everyone packed up their things happily and prepared a small celebratory lunch at a hotel near the company. Eating, drinking and socializing were part of the agenda.

"Mr. Xie, Wang Shi is here." Liu Qiming took the opportunity to briefly report on his work.

Xie Jingxing thought for a moment and asked, "He left?"

"I'm not sure when this will end so I won't keep him."

Liu Qiming personally did not approve of the ruthless deal proposed by Wang Shi, and Xie Jingxing nodded to agree to the decision.

Lao Wang has already left, so there is no way to bring him back. I apologize sincerely, saying, "I'm so sorry, I really don't like your little things, and I made you go there for nothing." How about that...

"What's wrong?" Yu Nian packed up the contract documents and came closer naturally.

There were too many people to discuss in detail, so Xie Jingxing vaguely revealed: "Wang Shi is looking for me."

"The information is quite good."

Yu Nian chuckled, Xie Jingxing shrugged his shoulders to show his boredom, her beautiful eyes were full of provocative lust.

You are becoming more and more arrogant. Do you really think that if the sister-in-law and brother-in-law are in love, you will receive good wishes? You deserve to be punished!

Xie Jingxing was furious. He glanced at Liu Qiming who was looking down at his toes. He stretched out his claws and pinched Yu Nian's plump buttocks hard. The woman pursed her red lips and smiled foolishly, not afraid at all.

She even moved her position excessively to make it easier for him to die. Her beautiful eyes melted into water as she stared at him intently.

Xie Jingxing had no choice but to retreat, and ran to the side to greet everyone and set off to the hotel.

"Wow."

The elevator arrived at the lobby on the first floor. People filed out and suddenly stopped at the door. Wang Shi and his entourage were standing on the outdoor steps waiting for the car.

"Hey, Mr. Xie, I thought you were on a business trip." He was a little stunned and his expression changed, unable to hide his surprise.

Xie Jingxing took the initiative to step forward and stretched out his arm: "We just finished a meeting all morning and are going to have lunch. Would you like to join us?"

"I have talked to Mr. Liu about everything that needed to be discussed. A small matter won't prevent you from discussing big business." Wang Shi put his hands behind his back and nodded his chin at Liu Qiming as if nothing happened.

Everyone present was completely confused. Although they were not in the same circle, they had all heard a lot about Vanke's current situation. Who are you showing off to, Old Wang? They looked at each other and said nothing for a while.

Liu Qiming narrowed his eyes and was about to say something, but Xie Jingxing took his hand back and put it in his trouser pocket and spoke first: "I'm busy recently, let's get together next time if there's a chance."

"It's better to be busy. A man's value lies in his career. If he is idle, he will be ruined. It's better to go home and take care of the children."

Wang Shi stood on tiptoe and looked into the distance with a sigh, then tilted his head to glance at everyone: "Is it not going to cause you any trouble? Next time when it's convenient for you, I'll buy you a drink."

"Don't be too extreme in your thinking. When manpower is limited, you should relax when you should and retire when you should. It's important not to mess around and just go with the flow." Xie Jingxing advised gently.

Wang Shi's expression froze. He was silent for several seconds and then burst into laughter. "Mr. Xie is right. Human power is limited. God has to take back what he gives you. No wonder Mr. Xie is successful. He knows when to advance and when to retreat, and when to lose. I look up to him."

"I don't agree with Mr. Xie's point of view. Take our group for example. Currently, there are only projects in China that we don't want to invest in, but no projects that we can't afford to invest in. What about the Wanda King's Feast and the Vanke-Baoneng War that are circulating in the market? How much can these two projects cost together? Where does the word 'poor' come from?"

Liu Qiming's speech was so wild that he looked around. Everyone present was silent. Then they started to shout and make sarcastic remarks.

Wang Shi's face turned blue and red, and a thousand words of confusion merged into one sentence: It would cost a lot of money to acquire your Vanke. There is no need to form alliances or join forces with this or that. I simply don't like you and don't want to play with you.

"Mr. Wang."

Xie Jingxing spoke softly, and the noise disappeared instantly. He warned in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft enough for everyone to hear: "I heard that Vanke has a Blackstone director? Please think twice before you act.

"Please help me convey this message to Yao Zhenhua."

He walked down the stairs, and the crowd followed closely behind him, like a flowing golden sea with clouds gathering around him.

After all the trouble, you can finally serve Vanke and Baoneng raw on the table. It's such a simple truth, don't say I didn't warn you.

Xie Jingxing opened the car door, turned around and took one last look at the old senior, nodding slightly in greeting.

At the turn of the millennium, Wu Xiangdong, the current chairman of China Resources Land, went to Shenzhen alone. Two years later, he invested 40 billion yuan to build and open the then unprecedented China Resources MixC. He was only 35 years old that year.

At the same time, China Resources invested in Vanke and became the largest shareholder.

Fourteen years later, Wu Xiangdong was 49 years old. China Resources Land had reached a bottleneck after its booming development, and he wanted to move to the next level. Yao Zhenhua said that he could come to Vanke to be the chairman.

Baoneng Group's attempt to seize the actual control of Vanke is a means to an end, and the ultimate goal is to make money. The two companies hit it off...

Yu Nian's father worked for China Resources. When he acquired Xiaoma Pentium to set up his own cinema chain, he was able to leverage China Resources Land through this relationship.

In the subsequent strategic financing of Yunhe Logistics, state-owned capital was introduced, and China Resources was also involved.

Even though the talks failed in the end, Xie Jingxing had to honor the favor. He didn't care about the scheming and business war of Wang Shi and others. He just had to remain neutral and watch the building collapse.

The prerequisite is that Wang Shi and Yao Zhenhua do not commit suicide and force him to play the role of a hidden enemy.

"Mr. Wang, news, there's news!" The accompanying assistant held the phone with a trembling voice.

【Jingxing Investment Group completed strategic financing, introduced nine strategic investors including the Social Security Fund, and raised 5500 billion yuan to transfer 500% of the equity at a valuation of 10 billion yuan, of which the Social Security Fund led the investment of 153 billion yuan...】

Although the phone screen was bright, Wang Shi's eyes went dark. He looked at the caravan going away. The woman who had just stood quietly beside Xie Jingxing was named Yu?! (End of this chapter)
