That night, Jing Gao flew to Shanghai with his assistants Xiao Qiao, Guan Yujia, and a team of five who could provide legal and financial support in the negotiations.
Xia Rongxi's reputation in several business circles in the capital is very bad.Jing Gao learned from Li Fanyi that he took care of Wu Ting's wife.
This is really...!
Henghu Medicine has three founders.Xia Rongxi is the chairman and holds the most shares.But as time went by, the conflicts between him and Wu Ting and Li Fanyi became more and more serious.
Wu Ting had an affair with Zhao Shiyan.At that time, Jing Gao used resources very simply, and warned Zhao Shiyan not to think about targeting him. At the same time, he vented his anger for his "general" An Zhiwen, and joined forces with Xia Rongxi to send Wu Ting to prison. The sentence is expected to start at ten years.
Zhao Shiyan was so frightened that she cried to Professor Zhao.This is why there is a gap between Jing Gao and Professor Zhao.
After Xia Rongxi finished this order, he directly sold half of Henghu Pharmaceutical's stock to Jing Gao, and gradually reduced the rest of his holdings, obtaining a total of [-] to [-] million funds to develop in Shanghai.Henghu Medicine is currently in charge of Li Fanyi, who is engaged in technology research and development.
When Li Fanyi was reporting to work two days ago, he mentioned the matter of "nurturing", Jing Gao listened and shook his head.This is really "your wife, I will raise her".It's just that this is not the same thing as what Cao Aman said.
Personal morality is not directly related to business talent.Xia Rongxi has not been in Shanghai for a long time, and it seems that he has become a bit of a fan immediately, knowing that Didi and uber China are negotiating an acquisition.
The evening wind is blowing slowly at Hongqiao Airport in Shanghai, and the night lights are flickering.
Xia Rongxi followed Jing Gao outside the airport, and followed Jing Gao into the black Lincoln Navigator, with a very attentive attitude.
When Jing Gao came to Shanghai to seek advice from Professor Wei at the end of April, he asked Xiao Qiao to set up an office in Shanghai.Xiao Qiao set up the Phoenix Film and Television Shanghai Branch.There are more than a dozen employees and several cars, and they rented three floors of offices in a Grade A office building in Songjiang District.
Therefore, if Jing Gao comes to Shanghai again now, someone will naturally come to welcome the boss.
And Xia Rongxi's little hospitality is understandable.Jing Gao wants to acquire uber China, which has a public valuation of US$70 billion.This is even more frustrating than the Canglong Group's acquisition of 200 billion Hong Kong dollars!
The convoy left the airport slowly.
In the Lincoln car, Xia Rongxi said: "Mr. Jing, none of the senior executives in China knows about the sale negotiations of uber China. It is led by its founder Travis Kalanick and his subordinate Emil Michael, as well as uber Asia Pacific. District Superintendent Eric Alexander is in charge."
Jing Gao was stunned, "No wonder! Mr. Xia, do you have a channel to contact Kalanick, the founder of Uber? I want to meet him."
Before Xiao Qiao directly contacted the team of Liu Zhen, the spokesperson of uber China, to make an offer.
Xia Rongxi smiled wryly, "Boss Jing, you think highly of me. How can I get in touch with entrepreneurs at Kalanick's level? However, I have a friend who has a lot of connections, so I can try it, but her fees will be a bit expensive. "
Inoko nodded.
...
...
On July 2016, 7, the government issued the "Guiding Opinions on Deepening Reform and Promoting the Healthy Development of the Taxi Industry" and "Interim Measures for the Management of Online Taxi Booking Services".Online car-hailing has been legalized.
The four major online car-hailing companies: Didi, uber China, China Travel, and Yidao have expressed their support for supervision.
That night, Jing Gao’s third day in Shanghai, on Thursday, he met Emile Michael, the confidant of Kalanick, the chairman of Uber, in the Bank of China Building.
The referrer was not "a friend of him" as Xia Rongxi said, but Kang Wenfeng, a student of Professor Wei Shenliang, deputy dean of the School of Economics of Aurora University, and Kang Wenfeng, a member of the investment bank management committee and financial industry group at CITIC Securities.
CITIC Securities is an investor and shareholder of uber China.
The appearance of the Bank of China Tower is like a crystal laurel crown, and it is basically included in the photos of Huangpu River, the magical city.The building next to the landmark Oriental Pearl TV Station is.
In the luxury suite on the 50th floor, the three smoked cigars and chatted casually.Mainly Kang Wenfeng chatted with Emile-Michael, and Jing Gao's English was very poor.
The assistant Guan Yujia speaks good English.Although it is not as exaggerated as Wu Jingshu's eighth level of majors, there are no problems in speaking and listening.She sat on the sofa behind Jing Gao, ready to serve as a full-time interpreter for Jing Gao.
Emile-Michael is an Indian face, said: "Mr. Jing, uber just raised 12 billion US dollars in December last year, so our current desire for cash is not so strong. Moreover, we have reached an agreement with Didi's major shareholders , with a ratio of 70:1 for share replacement. We will announce the end of the war on August 4 and merge."
Guan Yujia translated for Jing Gao in a low voice.
Kang Wenfeng smiled and smoked a cigar without interjecting.He saw a hint of contempt in Emil-Michael's eyes.
With a calm expression, Jing Gao asked back: "Since it is going to be sold, why not sell it at a good price?" He was too lazy to listen to these "gorgeous" modifiers.In the final analysis, doing business is for the word "money".
Especially the "Westerners respect the contract and have the spirit of the contract" blown by the public intellectuals.This is nothing short of a joke.Respect for the dollar is the only truth!As long as he bids high enough, he is not afraid that the Uber gang will not break the contract.
Emile-Michael smiled slightly, leaning on the sofa, "Mr. Jing, how much do you plan to bid?"
According to a report released by iResearch in early July, the valuation of Didi is 7 billion US dollars, and the valuation of uber China is 276 billion US dollars.The merger of the two parties will be carried out in accordance with the ratio of 70:1 equity merger.
Then, the valuation of uber China is 69 billion US dollars.
Jing Taka lit the ash of the cigar, just like smoking "Zhonghua".This is the wrong way to flick a cigar.However, no one can blame him.Because he said a number that made Emile Michael change his color.
Jing Gao said flatly: "90 billion US dollars."
Guan Yujia's clear voice translation, "9 billion dollar."
The ashes from the cigar in Emil-Michael's hand fell. Sorry, my hands are shaking a bit.A $20 billion acquisition!Don't mistake dollars for money.In international business, a billion dollars is a very large profit.He concealed his shock and looked at Kang Wenfeng.
Kang Wenfeng nodded, confirming that Jing Gao has the ability to pay, rather than just talking about it.
Emile-Michael took a deep breath, stood up, and shook hands with Jing Gao, "Mr. Jing, I will report this news to Travis (Kalanick) immediately. Please wait here later."
At around 8 o'clock in the night in Shanghai, it is around 5 o'clock in the morning in San Francisco, USA.The time difference between the two places is 15 hours.But Emile Michael, Uber's senior vice president of business, can't help that much.
This call must be made immediately!
...
After a series of communications, Kalanick, the founder and chairman of Uber, personally called Jing Gao, decided to suspend the acquisition with Didi, and agreed to have a video connection tomorrow morning for a detailed discussion.
After finishing the call, Emile-Michael sent Jing Gao and Kang Wenfeng to the elevator door, and said with emotion: "
It's a great pleasure meeting you tonight, Mr. Jing.You are truly a generous, wealthy, forward-looking entrepreneur.I am sure you will not regret this investment in the future. "
Jing Gao smiled and shook hands with him, "goodbye!" Who said that foreigners are straightforward in the workplace, discussing the matter as it stands, and don't understand the world?
How can he lick you while you are kneeling?You can only give him a chance if you stand up!
The elevator door closed slowly.
