Chapter 273 Playing a Card
It was about eight o'clock in the evening, and the convoy was driving on the road out of Modu Airport.
In the spacious business car, Liu Qing took the mineral water from the assistant.It's not that she has the same habit as Andy, the strong woman in the hit TV series "Ode to Joy": she needs to drink a lot of water when she is nervous.
She was simply thirsty, pondered for a moment, and then explained the situation to Guo Lingyu, "Haiyi Group is the leading private enterprise in Handong Province. It is involved in chemical industry, foreign trade, finance, mining and other fields.
Because they have no listed companies, their assets cannot be estimated.But at worst, they are all Fortune 500 companies. "
Guo Lingyu is a Malaysian. He studied at Harvard Business School. Later, he entered Goldman Sachs Asia Pacific and worked in Hong Kong Island.I can understand this situation very well.There are many large companies in the United States that are not listed.
"So exaggerated? I seem to have a little impression of the name of this company. Is it a company like Koch Octopus?"
Companies at the level of the world's top 500 companies are definitely not unknown in the business fields they set foot in. They are basically companies that are among the best, have technology patents or unique advantages!What, you mean Lenovo?Of course he has his unique advantages: He is the conscience of the US emperor, how can you compare?
Guo Lingyu is in finance, so she is not sensitive to the name Haiyi Group.The main reason is that she has to read too much company information, and non-listed companies are not her business scope.
Liu Qing sighed and said, "That's not the case. There are differences between inside and outside."
Many people in China are unaware of the changes in the American business world.All day superstitious about the Morgan consortium and the Rockefeller consortium dominating the United States.That's the old imperial calendar!Just like the former Rothschild family.The wind is always blown away by the rain and the wind.
There are also those who believe in conspiracy theories, such as "Skull and Bones" and "Freemasonry" controlling the United States.This is purely a lack of basic understanding of American politics.Who founded America?Anglo-Saxons!You say Jews control America?is it possible?Do you know what is the most serious problem in the United States?
The current control over American politics is called "deep state".
For example: the military industrial group represented by Rockefeller-Martin Corporation.Among them, the most famous in recent years is the Koch Industries Group.Because of the active penetration of the Koch family into American politics, it is known as the "Koch octopus".It is the second largest privately held company in the United States.
(Pun x Ao is the latest addition to the Koch octopus.)
Liu Qing continued: "Lily, it's not surprising that Haiyi Group, which you don't know about, has such a strong strength. Think about it, how many powerful companies are there in the European continent? How many have we heard of?
China has such a large area, and its GDP has long surpassed that of the European Union.So how many powerful companies are hidden?According to the information I got, Haiyi Group is a core member company of a consortium.
So, the situation I'm facing right now is dire.I have to go to the magic capital.But there is no room for maneuver if I directly talk to Jing Gao, so I still hope that you can talk to Jing Gao, but the conditions have to be changed. "
Having said that, Liu Qing couldn't help but sigh wearily.Behind Didi are Ali, Tencent, Softbank, Tiger Fund, Hongbin Capital, etc.If necessary, she can also bring in funds from Goldman Sachs.She really wouldn't be intimidated by a newly joined Haiyi Group or any consortium, but the terms of the "merger" with Uber (China) really need to be changed.
...
...
Guo Lingyu and Jing Gao made an appointment to meet and discuss in detail at noon on the 24th. The location was a very fashionable restaurant on the 30th floor of the Hyatt on the Bund Hotel on the North Bund.
The best scenery here in Shanghai may not be the Huangpu River, but the most famous must be the Huangpu River.Therefore, the prices of restaurants along the north shore where you can see the Oriental Pearl Tower are generally higher than those on the opposite side.
For example, some restaurants in Bund 18.
Jing Gao arrived at the very fashionable restaurant on the 30th floor of the hotel on time. When you walk in, you can feel that the view is very wide, and you can have a panoramic view of the high-rise buildings in Pudong.The river meanders.
Guo Lingyu had been waiting in the restaurant early, wearing a big sunglasses to cover her beautiful face, and sat by the window.Seeing Jing Gao coming, she took off her sunglasses, got up and shook hands with Jing Gao with a smile, and said decently: "Boss Jing, good afternoon."
"Ms. Guo, hello." Jing Gao said with a smile on his face, shook her little hand lightly, and sat down.The reason, of course, is that Guan Guan's beauty and style made him very intoxicated.Now he can tell the difference between Dan Qing and Guan Guan.
Danqing looks like a radiant and strong woman, but she is actually quite conservative in that respect.Let him do it.A lot of knowledge still needs to be taught by him.And Guan Guan is shy and timid, but he has a strong and deep feeling for him and is willing to actively cooperate.The ultimate stunner!
Guo Lingyu is that kind of very beautiful beauty, who is very well maintained. A 30-year-old woman has a smooth face, as bright as a woman in her 20s. With a figure of 1.7 meters and zero, the figure is plump and graceful.Today she is wearing a pale pink silk shirt and a white slit skirt, a fashionable and charming girl.
"Boss Jing, let's chat while eating." Guo Lingyu beckoned the waiter to come and order, and the arrangements were made quickly.
It doesn't really matter what you have for today's meal.Guo Lingyu's mind was not on this either, the waiter brought the red wine after sobering up, she poured a glass of wine for Jing Gao, and started today's topic, "Mr. Jing, I was entrusted by Didi's Mr. Liu to come and talk .Do you have anything to say about this subsidy war between Uber and Didi?"
Jing Gao smiled and raised his glass to invite a drink, and said, "Miss Guo, I have the initiative in this subsidy war. It's actually inappropriate for you to ask like this. What's the bottom line for Didi?"
Guo Lingyu smiled lightly and said, "Boss Jing, Phoenix Fund is soaring now, you are more confident than when I came to visit you last time. All right, let's talk straight to the point.
Mr. Liu means that Didi and Uber need to merge.With the development of online car-hailing to the present, the dividends of the new market have long been exhausted.Fighting the subsidy war again is just mutual internal friction, and each other cannibalize each other's share.
Zhu Xiaohu of GSR Ventures has said on different occasions that the current battle between Didi and Uber is actually to win more bargaining chips for each of them during the merger.
Jean's idea is simple, she is willing to merge Didi and Uber with 50% equity each.Of course, it was Uber that merged into Didi.Mr. Jing, I think I made it very clear. "
The merger of Uber into Didi means that Didi will be the user-oriented name, and Didi's management will continue to be in charge of this giant in the travel field.
Iko couldn't help laughing.how to say?Liu Qing is still a little level.Didi just negotiated a $9 million financing with Foxconn in September.Its valuation is $2 billion.
As for the US$5 million financing that Uber had just negotiated with Haiyi Group, Jing Gao did not take advantage of An Xiaoqian, and sold part of his shares to her at a valuation of US$120 billion.The outside market values Uber at about $150 billion.
In other words, Liu Qing of Didi is willing to give up nearly $92.5 billion in benefits in exchange for a truce and control of Uber.This courage is still very sufficient.This condition will be full of controversy within Didi.Of course, if it gets out, it will be full of temptations for Uber shareholders.
Capital is ultimately profit-seeking.
"Miss Guo, do you think I will agree?"
Guo Lingyu sat with her legs crossed, leaned back, and said: "I don't think you will agree. A man who bought Uber (China) at a premium of US$20 billion cannot be tempted by such a small profit in front of him.
However, Mr. Liu's meaning is very clear. If you don't accept it, she will introduce Goldman Sachs' capital and bring Didi to NASDAQ for listing.Borrow funds from the entire US capital market to fight against you.She doesn't think Didi will ultimately lose the battle. "
Liu Qing's words are very domineering!No matter how rich Jing Gao is, it is impossible to have more money than the US capital market, right?
