Chapter 218 Never For Sale
Qiu Yongliang is a reporter from the Economic Daily. He came to Uber Shanghai headquarters early in the morning, which is also the headquarters of Uber China.
Recently, a venture capital firm located in Beijing suddenly publicly announced that it would acquire uber China, which aroused the interest of financial reporters.
"Morning." Qiu Yongliang registered at the front desk and was taken to a small conference room.Later, I saw Liu Zhen, the head of strategy of uber China, walk in wearing a dark blue shirt and trousers, very capable style.
Liu Zhen is a native of Beijing, lived in the United States during high school, graduated from the National People's Congress, and went to the University of California, Berkeley to study law after graduation.
The name of this university looks a bit pheasant, but it is the world's top public university, an Ivy League institution, and has long been ranked among the top ten universities in the world.
Liu Zhen worked as a lawyer in Silicon Valley for nearly ten years after graduation, and then joined Uber. On August 2015, 8, she made a public appearance as the strategic director of uber China, and was known as the "first sister" of uber China.
She led the continuous development of uber China and fought a subsidy war with Didi. Compared with Didi, which is valued at more than 200 billion US dollars, uber China, which is valued at only 80 billion US dollars under her leadership, even has a market share in some cities. take the lead.
This is a very powerful woman, the achievements are obvious to all.
Uber China does not have a CEO due to internal fighting, and the regional managers report to its founder, Travis Kalanick.But usually the media regards Liu Zhen as the spokesperson of uber China.
And because she is the niece of Mr. Liu of Lenovo, the war between Uber China and Didi was dubbed "Sister Flower War" by good people.Because Liu Qing, the president of Didi and in charge of daily affairs, is Mr. Liu's daughter.
Qiu Yongliang got up and said hello, "Mr. Liu, hello."
"Hello. Please sit down, please sit down." Liu Zhen sat down with a smile, and said neatly: "Let's start."
Qiu Yongliang turned on the recording pen and notebook, and said, "Thank you very much Mr. Liu for accepting my interview during his busy schedule." After asking several questions in a row, he said, "Mr. Announced to acquire Uber China, what do you think of this announcement?"
Liu Zhen smiled disdainfully, but restrained her emotions, and said: "The founder of Uber, Mr. Kalanick, came to China not long ago, and all our executives had a meeting in Hangzhou. At the meeting , We discussed how to solve the current problems of uber China. Uber China will never be sold. We will continue to fight, continue to provide users with high-quality services, and continue to realize our dreams.”
Qiu Yongliang closed his notebook, shook hands with Liu Zhen, and said, "Thank you, President Liu, for accepting my interview."
That night, Economic Daily's official accounts, Weibo, and Toutiao all released related interview news.

Professor Zhao stayed in the Third City Hospital for 16 days after his heart surgery. Jing Gao and An Zhiwen made an appointment to pick him up, and then went to Huangshan with Weiwei for a trip.The relationship is still a bit frosty, and the rift has not been repaired.
On Monday afternoon, An Zhiwen came to report to Jing Gao.Zhaoshi Group's acquisition in France has been going very smoothly in the past two weeks.Everything is difficult at the beginning, each of the small brands began to sell, and the subsequent negotiations went very smoothly.
Talk to me about feelings, brand history, customer positioning?Doesn't the euro smell good?
By the way, Jing Gao asked Yu Jiashi to pay attention to the French wineries in the Bordeaux area.Buy a batch of wineries if you can.
Jingtai host Shu Xiaoya invited An Zhiwen to record a program in the morning, discussing about clothing brands.The entry point is very sensational: why can't top luxury brands appear in China?It can stimulate discussions among audiences and netizens.
An Zhiwen reported to Jing Gao in the afternoon.Jing Gao asked Xiao Qiao to give him the business card of Harper's Bazaar, and they would contact each other by themselves.To develop a fashion brand, the fashion industry at home and abroad must take care of it.
In the evening, at the request of Professor Zhao, An Zhiwen invited Jing Gao to Professor Zhao's house for dinner.
Auntie Chunlan, the nanny, brought up home-cooked dishes one by one, as well as pork ribs and lotus seed soup that had been stewed all afternoon, and said hopefully, "Mr. Jing, try it."
Jing Gao took a sip from the small white porcelain bowl and praised, "Aunt Chunlan, you cook this soup well."
Aunt Chunlan went to the kitchen to eat with a smile on her face.
After half a month of raising Professor Zhao, his complexion was still not good. He moaned and said, "Chinese football sucks. Why do you like football? You even chartered a plane to go to France to watch the football. You have money. What a smack."
Jing Gao was also not polite, bickering with Professor Zhao, eating fish, "Professor Zhao, what you said is wrong. Evergrande Group is developing so well because of football. It will soon be the number one real estate developer in the country. What's wrong with liking football? What’s more, I plan to charter a flight to Brazil to watch the Olympic Games in August.”
Professor Zhao is angry.He can't say he doesn't want to watch the Olympics, can he?In peaceful times, the Olympic Games is the embodiment of a country's national strength.A matter of national honor.
There are always some people on the Internet who say that the national system is not good.It doesn't matter what the Olympic gold medal is, what the United States is amateur athletes to participate in the competition and then win the gold medal.hehe!Today's netizens are not so easy to deceive!
When the Olympic gold medal was 0 and you were ridiculed as the "sick man of East Asia", did you not study, did you forget the pain when the scar was healed?
Everyone knows the importance of national fitness campaign.This is the right word to put anywhere.At that time, qigong was popular all over the country, you probably don’t know it?There is also the era of square dancing for all, haven't you experienced it?Does this contradict the national system for winning gold medals?
The granary knows the etiquette, and the food and clothing are sufficient to know the honor and disgrace.Lao Tzu codes every day, just messing with rent and food, and I can't even afford a big sword.You tell me about national fitness?Make a few jokes.
Professor Zhao changed the subject to criticize again.Jing Gao quarreled with him while eating and drinking.On the contrary, most of the rifts in the relationship have been eliminated.
At the end, Professor Zhao sighed and said, "Oh, you have to obey your old age. Xiao Jing, help me with something and arrange a job for Liao Rong. I know you have a lot of companies in your hands. After all, she has been in charge of ten companies. It is a pity that the talent of the Zhao Group with hundreds of millions of assets wasted."
Jing Gao was a little surprised, but he nodded directly, "No problem."
An Zhiwen frowned secretly.
Professor Zhao took a sip of wine and said, "Xiao Liao is sorry for me, I have already divorced her. Men cannot bear this kind of humiliation. I will never see her again.
She apologized to me on the phone.The husband and wife of these years are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless?What she did made me lose face.I will not speak to old friends.You know the inside story, and I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. "
Jing Gao said frankly: "Professor Zhao, I have a media company under my name. The business involves: movies, TV dramas, artist brokers, etc. It has just started, and it will grow bigger and bigger in the future. I arranged for Liao Rong to go in as the vice president."
Professor Zhao nodded.
...
...
After finishing his meal, Jing Gao had just returned to his room 2001 when Xia Rongxi called.
After Xia Rongxi sold the shares of Henghu Pharmaceutical to the Phoenix Fund to which Jing Gao belonged, he took the funds to Shanghai to develop, specializing in financial and investment businesses.
"Mr. Jing, I haven't contacted you for a long time. You really want to acquire Uber China? You don't know yet, do you? The shareholders of Uber China are negotiating with the shareholders of Didi about the merger, and they are almost done."
"What?" Jing Gao was taken aback. Of course he had seen the news about Liu Zhen's interview with Economic Daily this afternoon.Didn't you say it would never be sold?
