My capital is quite large.

"Wei... Brother Wei..."

Wang Yishi, her voice trembling, tentatively reminded him:

"The Musical Notes app... it's Haofeng Group's flagship product!"

"I remember, Haofeng's boss, Li Feng... and Dong Ge from Jingxi seem to have a good personal relationship?"

"Didn't Brother Dong also invest in our future? How about...?"

"Why don't you call Dong Ge and ask him to put in a good word for us with Boss Li? And get those negative trending topics removed from the internet!"

Li Wei slapped his thigh: "That's right! Brother Dong!"

He never imagined that this matter would be related to his wife's sharp tongue, so he quickly dialed Dong Ge's number.

The phone rang several times before being answered.

"Hey, Mr. Li, what brings you here to call me?" Dong Ge's hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone.

"Brother Dong! Help!"

Li Wei poured out his grievances into the receiver, embellishing the story of Future Auto's online smear campaign, and pleaded:

"Brother Dong, the musical notes are Haofeng's property."

"Your words carry weight with President Li. Could you perhaps put in a good word for my brother and ask him to refrain from spreading those false accusations?"

After listening to Li Wei's plea for help, Dong Ge on the other end of the phone pondered for a moment, and then seemed quite righteous:

"Hey, I thought it was something big!"

"Don't worry, brother. I have an appointment with Boss Li for tea tomorrow night. When we meet, I'll give him a heads-up."

"Boss Li has always been good-tempered; it's probably just a misunderstanding about the algorithm's streaming mechanism. Leave this to me!"

"Oh! Thank you so much, Brother Dong! If this works out, you'll be our great benefactor!"

Li Wei hung up the phone with profuse thanks, finally feeling a huge weight lifted off her shoulders.

With Dong Ge (Liu Qiangdong) stepping in to vouch for them, this turmoil will most likely subside.

but!

As Li Wei calmed down, he looked at the barrage of negative information flying around on the screen, but his doubts only deepened.

"Who the hell is so rich?!"

Li Wei rubbed his temples, muttering to himself, completely baffled:

"Buying such a massive, all-encompassing smear campaign online must cost tens of millions in public relations fees every day!"

"We're just getting started. The guys below are always working diligently on research and development, and they haven't even said a single offensive word..."

"Who...who on earth have we offended?!"

......

In Jinling, the weeping willows along the Qinhuai River sway gently in the breeze.

Today, the century-old teahouse by the river appears unusually deserted.

The entire teahouse had been booked out long ago. Along the cobblestone alleyway by the river, a security guard in black stood every ten steps, keeping tourists and other people a hundred meters away.

The tense atmosphere made it clear to anyone passing by that there was an important person inside.

Sunlight reflected in the water in front of the carved wooden lattice window on the second floor.

Li Feng leaned back in his mahogany chair, his gaze casually sweeping over the occasional rowboat that glided across the river.

Sitting opposite him was Dong Ge, the head of Jingxi.

Dong Ge glanced at the impenetrable security outside the window, laughed heartily, and remarked:

"Brother Li, when it comes to prestige in Nanjing, you're the one!"

"Brother, I've traveled all over the country for so many years, and I've never seen anything like this before."

Li Feng put down his teacup and chuckled lightly, seemingly unconcerned.

"Brother, you flatter me. At our level, we can't be too careful."

"Safety first, safety first..."

After exchanging pleasantries, Dong Ge put down the tea set, his expression gradually becoming serious, and took the initiative to steer the conversation toward the main topic of today's private banquet.

"Brother Li, let's speak frankly."

"I'm here today to discuss the independent spin-off of Jingxi Logistics!"

"We want to separate the logistics division from the parent e-commerce entity and establish an independent self-operated warehousing and smart delivery network!"

"Establish regional distribution centers in key cities nationwide to achieve same-day and next-day delivery!"

"Brother Li, once Jingxi Logistics completes its self-built warehousing, it will not only be able to list independently on the Hong Kong or US stock markets, but it will also be able to lock in high-net-worth consumers in first- and second-tier cities!"

At this point, Dong Ge stared intently at Li Feng:

"By then, in the high-end market, we at JD.com will have a stranglehold on Tmall, and in the lower-tier market, Pinduoduo will have emptied Taobao's warehouses!"

"They're positioned to attack from both sides, forming a pincer movement! Even if Jack Ma has extraordinary abilities, he'll be caught in a crossfire!!"

……

His words were so powerful and vivid, dissecting the brutal landscape of the e-commerce war in great detail.

however.

Sitting opposite him, Li Feng listened quietly, his expression remaining completely unchanged.

He understood Dong Ge's character. Once he laid out such a grand vision and strategy, it meant that this guy was short of money again!

How much do you want?

Dong Ge was slightly taken aback by Li Feng's straightforwardness and touched his nose helplessly.

But they also decided to forgo all the fancy commercial packaging and reveal their bottom line:

"130 million!"

Dong Ge extended a finger and looked into Li Feng's eyes:

"If Jingxi Logistics is spun off and financed independently, I can give you 20% of the equity."

130 billion for 20% of the shares.

This is equivalent to giving this asset-heavy logistics company, which has been losing money year after year and constantly burning money to build warehouses, an extremely high valuation of 650 billion RMB!

however.

Faced with this outrageous demand, Li Feng came up with an unconventional counter-offer:

"200 million."

"I want 35%."

……

200 billion! 35%!!

Upon hearing these two numbers, Dong Ge, who had been looking confident, suddenly had his pupils contract.

Instead of lowering the price, Li Feng poured in a whopping 70 billion yuan in cash!

However, they want to take a 35% stake in the company!

35%!

This is a somewhat dangerous number!

Although Li Feng has never been particularly involved in the day-to-day operations, in subsequent rounds of financing, as long as investors diluted the investment slightly...

If he loses control of Jingxi Logistics, he might end up doing all the work for someone else!

This happened right at the edge of his psychological tolerance limit!

If they proceed, they will receive 20 billion in life-saving cash, and their logistics empire will quickly take shape.

If they retreat, they will face a quagmire of tight cash flow and relentless pressure from Alibaba!

And the most fatal thing is:

Now that Li Feng has spoken, if he dares to bargain openly, given Li Feng's domineering and arrogant personality, Hao Feng's door will probably be welded shut!

Silence fell over the private room.

The sound of oars on the Qinhuai River came from afar, then gradually faded away.

Two full minutes passed before a resolute glint flashed in Dong Ge's eyes!

"Snapped!"

Dong Ge grabbed the porcelain bowl full of tea in front of him and, as if holding a strong liquor, raised it boldly towards Li Feng:

"good!!"

"Let's do as Brother Li says! 35%!!"
