King of Capital

That afternoon, Zou Jingyi returned to Shanghai, and Hu Weiwei booked a ticket to go with her.

At first, she only clarified the objective facts that ofo's promotion of WeChat payment would harm the interests of Alipay. The instructor used a vulgar metaphor to accurately summarize the emotional impact - the scumbag not only cheated on the sponsor during the live broadcast, but also spent the sponsor's money to lick the latter's mortal enemy.

If Alibaba did not have the habit of pushing others' butts, the Mobike-ofo merger option would have completely failed.

There is even a high probability that it would rather lose the initial investment and use its veto power to delay the new round of financing that Dai Wei is seeking, until the cash flow dries up and it dies because it cannot repay the 199 yuan deposit that was misappropriated from a user.

Mobike suddenly saw a turn for the better, but it continued to burn money and put on maximum pressure, waiting for ofo to suffer an internal illness and die suddenly.

“The funds will arrive by next week at the latest!”

The entire journey of the Nanjing-Shanghai high-speed railway takes four and a half hours. When we got off the high-speed railway, it was already dark. The investment director of Xiyou assured Hu Weiwei on the platform, and the two parties hurriedly went to the group headquarters on the Bund, led by Zou Jingyi.

The stand-alone office building is twelve stories high, with a brand new company logo hung on the glass curtain wall, and the lobby reception desk is filled with colorful red banners and celebratory flower baskets.

After half a year of preparation, Jichun Bank officially passed the regulatory business license approval, and the Jingyue City Head Office and the Modu Capital Operations Center were put into use simultaneously.

"Mr. Hu, you must have had a hard time on the journey. Mr. Xie is waiting for you. Please come this way."

Chen Xi greeted them at the elevator entrance on the top floor. She walked in front in her high heels, and the sound of tiles hitting the floor was audible. Every employee who passed by in the corridor was busy and cautious.

"Mr. Xie is not in a good mood." She explained in a relaxed tone.

Hu Weiwei frowned slightly: "Is it serious?"

"It was just a minor incident. The matter has been resolved. Please come in."

Chen Xi pushed open the office door and tilted his head to ask, "Do you want to join us?"

"Uh, I'll wait outside first. Call me if you need anything." Zou Jingyi couldn't help but turn into a quail.

"You haven't had dinner yet?"

Chen Xi smiled and found a place for her to sit. After getting a positive answer, he made two cups of coffee and a plate of snacks and pastries and brought them into the office. He quickly left and returned to his workstation to work.

Zou Jingyi took the high-speed train in the afternoon. Since her teacher and partner were not in the mood to eat, she naturally had to keep them company. Now, she was staring at the delicious snacks in front of her but still felt embarrassed to eat them.

Mr. Xie returned to Shanghai from Zhuhai this time not for attending the opening ceremony of Jichun Bank, but because the main issue was the huge battle over Vanke's equity.

In early August, there were sudden market rumors that Evergrande was secretly buying shares of Vanke, which instantly ignited public opinion and market sentiment. Stimulated by the good news, Vanke's share price rose rapidly and closed at the daily limit.

During the trading session, Evergrande issued a statement denying the allegations, but within two hours after the market closed, it withdrew the clarification announcement, admitted on its own that it had bought Vanke shares, and then no longer kept a low profile and openly entered the market to buy shares, thus driving Vanke's share price to stabilize.

The Baoneng Group, which was on the verge of bankruptcy due to the continuous decline in stock prices and the withdrawal of floating profits in its holdings, suddenly died inexplicably.

But Evergrande is obviously not here to be a good person. Boss Xu wants to have three meals with one stone: Yao Zhenhua, Baoneng, and Vanke. He wants them all!
It took him more than a month to buy 5% of the shares to trigger the first takeover. He was very patient and slow in his operations to keep the stock price in a flat fluctuation range.

Although Yao Zhenhua no longer has the risk of liquidation, he does not have the financial strength to compete with Evergrande, so he can only grit his teeth and continue to slowly absorb shares. Not to mention Wang Shi, who has a lot of money in his pocket to support a concubine, and Boss Xu has a song and dance troupe.

I just stared and watched these two bastards perform the "Forced NTR Racing" plot. At most, they jumped up and down everywhere by relying on their advantage in public opinion, doing useless work to save themselves.

In such a weird deadlock, whoever between Yao and Xu gets 30% of the shares first will win. As a result, the day before yesterday, enthusiastic people in the market once again broke the news of shocking news: Jingxing Group secretly increased its stake in Vanke shares to 9.6%, which could trigger a second takeover at any time.

As the stock market was closed during the Mid-Autumn Festival, public opinion exploded before the market could react.

Zou Jingyi didn't know whether the data accurate to the decimal point involved internal leaks. The working status of the employees at the group headquarters seemed to be the same as hers. They were still eating snacks and wearing straw hats, and their expressions were not clear.

"Why don't you eat it? The chocolate tastes pretty good, you can try it." Chen Xi did not forget to look up while busy.

Zou Jingyi just responded with a silly smile, picked up a small piece of handmade chocolate, and thought to herself that it was not you who just reminded Mr. Hu to be careful about his words and actions.

Chen Xi asked with interest: "You had a chance to join Qingyou before, right?"

"Well, Mr. Xie suggested that I choose Qingyou for internship, but I was not confident enough." Zou Jingyi responded modestly.

"I heard Mr. Tang talk about you. People are made through experience. You seem to be in good shape now."

Chen Xi glanced at the electronic clock on the corner of the table and asked casually, "Are you interested in my place?"

"..."

Zou Jingyi was speechless for a moment. She had been eager to make a career in Xiyou, but was repeatedly disliked by her superiors. She did not want to join Qingyou, and was advised against it by General Manager Xie and President Liu. Now that she had finally survived the internship period, she received an invitation from the director of the group chairman's office.

"You probably don't need to report your work now, so go back first. Of course, you can also hang out with me for a while."

Chen Xi added lightly: "Your personal qualities are not good enough for venture capital. Do you have any experience?"

"......Yeah." Zou Jingyi was silent for a few seconds and responded softly.

Chen Xi sighed: "People often make choices based on a single thought. You are still young, don't waste your chips. Alisa, please receive me."

As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged woman with an ordinary appearance quickly appeared. Zou Jingyi followed her to visit the office like a blade of grass swaying in the wind.

Last month, Miao Nan used her own resources to invite the official media Blue Agency to interview Hu Weiwei, but she was responsible for the contact. This kind of good thing of picking up a pie in the sky is not common. When she reaches the VP level and is responsible for the project independently, it is difficult to say how much convenience a father who is a senior executive in China Aviation can provide.

What makes her particularly pitiful is that she has a very outstanding face, and it is very difficult for her to maintain her bottom line and very easy for her to let go.

Vanke, Mobike, as well as other projects such as New Dangshou, ByteDance, Kuaishou, and Pinduoduo. Chen Xi had already left Xie Jingxing in Zhuhai and returned to Shanghai alone to take charge of the group's headquarters as an executive assistant, and was extremely busy.

The chairman's office was in urgent need of additional staff, and she did not trust the chairman's secretary recruited by Meizu. After all, she was just a secretary, so whether the secretary could do the job was secondary. She might as well pick someone the young commander liked to serve.

Chen Xi looked at Zou Jingyi as if he was looking at himself in the past. Instead of being like Song Anli, who obviously didn't like her but couldn't suppress her, it would be better to personally choose a potential stock to hold the position.

She stretched to relieve the pain in her shoulders and looked at the time on the electronic clock again. She picked up her phone and sent a message to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel next door, asking them to send two tables of dinner. She also replied to Madam Yu’s WeChat message, the Madam Yu in Beijing...

The Vanke incident has gone a bit too far.

…………

"I can't understand why Dai Wei did this." Hu Weiwei slowly wiped the chopsticks and talked about business. Xie Jingxing pulled open his collar and comfortably enjoyed the cool breeze from the air conditioner. He opened the lunch box and soaked the rice in the soup. He stirred it a few times and swallowed the slightly salty dinner whole. He said vaguely: "Impulsive."

"Impulsiveness should have traces, but his was completely unpredictable and had no logic at all." Hu Weiwei frowned slightly.

"He started a business right after graduating from college and went to the northwest to do bicycle tourism. The project had no highlights and the team's background was rubbish, but he easily got millions of angel investment."

Xie Jingxing patiently and meticulously instructed: "After losing all the money, he returned to Beijing and saw that we were doing well in the shared bike business. He then took in millions of dollars in investment for nothing and easily gained momentum through marketing with his status as the former president of the Peking University Student Union."

"In short, I have never suffered any loss. When I gave a speech at Peking University, I dared to take the opportunity to use tricks to promote my products."

He remembered it vividly and joked: "If you persuade such a person to seek reconciliation from Ali, he will never listen. But if you give him a chance to attack Ali, he will definitely seize it."

Although it cannot get investment from Tencent, jumping into the Tencent camp can not only disgust Alibaba and take revenge, but also narrow the gap with Mobike and give external investors confidence. Why not do it?

By using the rhetoric that both parties are strategically cooperating with Tencent and there is a high probability of a merger in the future to fool the market, there will definitely be gamblers who are ignorant of the situation and dare to go all in, thus resolving the difficulties in the new round of financing.

"So he can handle Ali?"

Hu Weiwei asked the key question. According to the Meituan case, Alibaba was eliminated passively with great reluctance, and then turned around to create a reputation competition.

"It's different. Wang Xing and I went to the industrial and commercial department every day for half a month. Alibaba was managed by the regulators, and they don't have a veto power."

Xie Jingxing raised his eyebrows and couldn't hide his contempt: "The scale of shared bicycles is low, plus the veto power, it will be difficult for him to deal with Alibaba."

"Would Alibaba rather lose hundreds of millions of dollars in initial investment? They probably invested 600 to 700 million yuan."

"When I met Mr. Ma at the end of last year, he regarded himself as an authority."

"authority."

Hu Weiwei took a deep breath to calm the coldness in her heart. Xie Jingxing let her be sentimental and concentrated on eating to fill his hungry stomach.

If Dai Wei can deal with Alibaba, ofo's switch to Tencent's camp will be a turning point for survival. If he fails, Liu Chih-ping and Yan Wenhua will dig a bottomless pit for him.

Good brothers should not know the details, and how could Lao Liu not have made an accurate judgment before this?
Xie Jingxing didn't believe it by judging others by himself. They were standing side by side on the palm-sized peak, moving around. How could they not see that someone's steps were unsteady and messy?

There is no need to waste energy thinking about the ending of ofo. After Mr. Ma's subjective emotions easily killed Dai Wei's subjective emotions, it is worth looking forward to how much he will lose control. Huang Zheng and Pinduoduo are ready to go...

"I'll ask you one last time, by selling Mobike to New DAEW, will you achieve financial freedom, or maintain independent development?" Xie Jingxing picked up the cup of water and rinsed his mouth with a serious expression.

Hu Weiwei asked back: "What do you think I should choose?"

"Sell it to Xinda E, take the money and leave. I will complete this project." Xie Jingxing slowed down his attitude slightly.

Ofo's doomed future deaths have completely ruined Didi's plan. In the future, their self-operated shared bicycle business will be more cost-effective than staying and competing with Mobike.

He didn't want to tell Hu Weiwei directly that at this point, from starting a business to actually controlling the company, your value is extremely low, so I'll pay you a breakup fee and we can part ways amicably.

But the fact is that this is the case, and there is no room for euphemism for a project valued at US$50 billion.

“What is Mobike’s independent profit model?”

Hu Weiwei's words were extremely explosive. As a founder, she asked the acquirer how her company should make money. Xie Jingxing was speechless for a moment.

She said as a matter of course: "If Mobike can only serve as a traffic portal in the local life field, then you can take it away."

"Forget it, let's talk about it next year."

Xie Jing Xing swept the lunch box into the trash can: "I have booked a room for you in the hotel next door. You've been tired all day, so go and rest early."

Hu Weiwei twisted her fingers together and opened her lips slightly. The WeChat video call prompt tone rang on her phone at an inopportune time. After she hung up the phone, a text message popped up. The child asked her when she would be home.

He swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth, and ultimately left silently without saying anything.

Mobike is a traffic portal with tens of millions of users in the local life field. It can become a unicorn like Didi and Xinda E, with value-added services such as self-operated car rental, local tourism, Internet financial loans, inter-city logistics distribution, etc.

Xie Jingxing does not have the strong means to force Hu Weiwei to submit. If you think about it carefully, the relationship between the two parties is fragile, and forcing them to side with Didi will cause trouble.

Especially since she is not clear-headed in the first place, and with her personal subjective entanglements, she may do something even more brainless than Dai Wei.

Let's do it this way for now. It will save time and money for Mobike to acquire the company after it has integrated the market next year or the year after. The financial investment shareholders will just bear the cost of integrating the market, and her cash-out income will inevitably be diluted and reduced accordingly.

Xie Jingxing inexplicably thought of Cui A Liu, raised his hand and slapped his forehead hard. He often boasted that his aura of rationality would last forever, but in fact he always did things that he shouldn't do.

"Boss, Mr. Yu asked about our situation." Chen Xi walked into the office to report.

Xie Jing Xing immediately put aside the trivial matters and cheered himself up: "Tell her everything is fine."

"Xu Jiayin wants to meet you." Chen Xi squeezed toothpaste.

Xie Jing Xing blinked his eyes and said sarcastically: "The evil man's efforts are not as good as the fool's inspiration. Who do you think is the evil man and who is the fool between us?"

"Then you must be a bad guy!" Chen Xi nodded decisively.

Xie Jingxing pointed his finger and said, "Get out."

"Okay." Chen Xi ran away obediently.

The reason why Evergrande was exposed was extremely outrageous. A brokerage branch bought 2% of Vanke's shares in a single day. A curious person diligently entered the address of this branch into Gaode Map, zoomed in to the street view and found that Evergrande's headquarters was only meters away.

If you take your head out of your heels once, you can guess which rich and stupid guy is using this brokerage seat.

The exposure of Jingxing Group was a different story. There was almost no chance of internal leakage, but it was Vanke that deliberately leaked the information.

There are a total of 100 shares of Vanke, and Xie Jingxing, Evergrande, Yao Zhenhua, and Wang Shi each want to get 30 of them, turning the investment into an auction. Wang Shi tried to use this to raise the stock price and let this chaos get out of control. (End of this chapter)
