How did I become a god

Chapter 316
Ten days passed in a flash.During this time, in the outside world, people are angry or cursing Uber (China) as a "foreign-owned" company for being unprofessional and unkind.It's like a carnival.

There are also some people talking about Uber's bad luck: highlighting the car accident that happened later, talking about Jing Gao's embarrassment, and mocking Uber's quietness. All Uber's resources are now dealing with safety issues.These people are arguing fiercely about how Didi should merge with Uber, looking forward to the future, with a strong sense of participation.

Of course, what is talked about the most, and what is most talked about by people who know the inside story, is that Cai Congxin, the number two figure in Alibaba, flew back from the United States and commanded Ruo Ding to reverse the decline of Didi in one fell swoop.There are also compliments to Cheng Wei and Liu Qing.They are concrete implementers.There is also a compliment to the rising star Ren Zhi.The tiger father has no dogs!His decisiveness, his precise strategic vision, are all talked about in certain wine bureaus.

No matter how you look at it, Didi’s “desperate counterattack” against Uber’s acquisition is a classic case of business warfare.

It seems to echo what Jack Ma, the "big brother of the rivers and lakes", said in a certain debate a few years ago: Ali is the Air Force.The world has never said that the army can beat the air force.

This time, it was a combination of sea, land and air, and bombarded the Phoenix Fund indiscriminately.Hit him with a "Van Vleet ammo" first.A slap with the left hand, and another slap with the right hand.Just ask you: Are you convinced?
however…

After Xie Shihuang called Ma Yun on October 10, and Cai Congxin flew to Shanghai to deploy the confrontation, after more than 18 days passed, some subtle changes accumulated, and some clues and qualitative changes began to appear.

During these 20 days, the tide set off by Ali and Yinhe was as turbulent as the tide of the Qiantang River on August [-]th: the waves were like mountains spraying snow.But in the end, the tide has to recede.It was only then that people discovered that among the waves covering the sky and the sun, someone had hit the water in the midstream!

As the tide receded, that figure would gradually become clearer.He will bring darkness over people, over their heads!
...

...

It was raining lightly at night in the deep city, and the sky was extremely dark.Jing Gao arrived at Shencheng Airport in a black Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle.

He didn't intend to fly back to Shanghai or the capital, but to pick up the plane.On behalf of Phoenix Fund, Cao Danqing completed the acquisition of a company with a third-party payment license, and flew to Shencheng to see him.

The night was getting dark.In the drizzle, the lights in the driveway outside the airport flickered.Jing Gao waited outside the airport pick-up hall.At this time, the phone rang suddenly.

Jing Gao answered the phone, and Guo Lingyu's crisp voice came from inside, "Mr. Jing, are you... how are you doing?" Some voices demanding that Uber suspend business for rectification have reached their peak recently.She heard a little.Regulatory authorities have to make a decision in the near future.

There was a pause in her tone, and she could hear that she was concerned.Jing Gao said calmly: "Miss Guo, thank you."

"You're welcome." Guo Lingyu said sincerely: "Mr. Jing, no matter what the final result of your confrontation with Didi and Ali this time, I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with you in the future. Whether I represent Goldman Sachs or Guo's .”

A car accident happened not long ago, which was a "natural disaster" for Phoenix Fund.Totally unexpected.Although she has a good personal relationship with Liu Qing, she recognizes Jing Gao's displayed strength.

Jing Gao was somewhat touched in his heart, and said with a smile, "Thank you."

After exchanging a few words with Guo Lingyu, Jing Gao put the phone in his trouser pocket, pondered for a few seconds, then turned his head and asked Jiang Zi next to him, "Weibo still refuses to cooperate with the review?"

When he was a netizen, he also hated controlling comments very much.It's annoying to scold people.But now that the public's emotions are taking their toll on him, he still wants to rein them in.It's purely a matter of position.

Jiang Zi has a plump figure, wearing a magenta shirt, a gray one-step skirt, very professional attire, a mature and charming beautiful woman, said: "Yes."

Jing Gao nodded lightly, "Tell Wu Jingshu to buy Sina's shares immediately. I want a controlling stake."

There are many people who come to pick up the plane at night.With Jiang Zi's pretty appearance and plump and graceful figure, she attracted the attention of men.It was Jing Gao's words that attracted many people to smile knowingly.I also want to acquire Baidu, Ali, and Tencent!Bragging is not a draft.

Jiang Zi didn't care about the smiles around him, and said seriously, "Okay, Mr. Jing."

A moment later, Cao Danqing's tall and slim figure appeared at the airport exit.After receiving Danqing, Jing Gao took her directly back to Guanlan Golf Villa.Wei Chenjun and Li Yifeng each brought their teams to live in the hotel.In Jing Gao's villa, Jiang Zi and Dong Youwei live here, as well as bodyguards and nanny.

After dinner, Jing Gao and Cao Danqing sat at the square table in the small living room on the third floor of the villa, watching the pouring rain outside.

It was quiet inside, with soft lighting.

Cao Danqing sat at the table, gently holding Jing Gao's right hand with both hands, feeling the roughness of his palm, looking at his slightly thin face, the huge pressure, she suddenly understood in this situation, He said softly, "Brother Jing, will we be alright?"

Huge wealth not only brings enjoyment, but also brings huge pressure, as well as huge crisis.If Jing Gao is going to jail, she is willing to accompany him in.

Jing Gao smiled and said softly, "Danqing, what do you think?"

Cao Danqing will never forget the warmth, calmness, and firmness in Jing Gao's eyes when he asked her back.It was as if, at this time, it was the time when winter was approaching in the northern country, but here in the south, it was as warm as spring beside him.

On the morning of November 11, Liu Zhen had just finished a meeting in a third-tier city, and called Jing Gao, feeling tired, weak, weak, and scared, "Boss Jing, thank God, the fire is out. "

Jing Gao held a mobile phone video conference in the afternoon, using Tencent's software, and it started on time at 2 o'clock. The participants were all executives from the Phoenix Department. He only said one sentence to end the meeting: Let's get started!

If this confrontation is compared to a war, then now is the time to sound the charge and launch a counterattack!
If the stage of this confrontation is compared to the four seasons, then now is the time of winter!To the enemy, be as ruthless as winter.

On the evening of the 12th, all Uber users were notified of a software update.The updated software offers a new payment option: Phoenix Pay.What is even more eye-catching is a prompt box that pops up when you open the new version of the software, "In order to repay the support and love of all new and old users, Uber will hold a free taxi month event."

...

...

Didi is headquartered in Beijing.

Cheng Wei was having dinner and drinking with some friends of Wang Gang in a private dining room in a courtyard around [-]:[-] p.m.During the staggering of toasts, several people were very excited, pointing out the country, talking about the past and the present.

"If you want to say, Mr. Cai is really good, he made Uber half-dead. He is now back to the United States for vacation."

Wang Gang said: "Hey, Cai always goes back to spend time with his wife and children. Today is Saturday. We gangsters only work overtime on weekends."

"Haha."

"Mr. Cheng, have you received the request from the Wuzhen World Internet Conference? Given Didi Chuxing's performance in the Internet field, it should have invited you last year."

Cheng Weibai was chubby, adjusted his glasses, and leaned on the wooden chair. He was a little drunk, waved his hand with a smile, and said, "Got it. I'll be leaving in two days." At this moment, Cheng Wei The phone on the Eight Immortals table rang.

The voice in the box suddenly went down.Cheng is always NO.1.

Cheng Wei answered the phone, and a subordinate's hurried voice came from inside, "Mr. Cheng, Uber is crazy. They want to organize a month of free taxi rides, and they just reminded them on the software. Shall we follow?"

"What?" Cheng Wei knocked down the wine glass on the ground by mistake, but he didn't notice it at all, and he broke out in a cold sweat on the spot. He didn't speak for a long time, and then said: "Let me think about it."

"Old Wang, come out with me." Cheng Wei called Wang Gang out of the box with a distorted voice, and said the situation quickly in the courtyard of the courtyard, against the bitter cold wind, "We have to hurry Contact Mr. Xie and ask about the situation."

This morning, not long after the work meeting in a third-tier city ended, the two of them received the news.Whether Uber will be shut down in that city is one indicator.Didi sent someone to watch over there.

The two of them are also asking Mr. Xie, Mr. Cai's assistant about the situation today.Wondering if authorities will suspend Uber nationwide for rectification.It is said that the results will be given in the near future.Haven't they heard the specific news yet?
And from Uber's sudden "free" promotion, they smelled some kind of bad signal.

Wang Gang said: "I'll contact Mr. Xie right now. You should contact Liu Qing immediately, Uber is coming in menacingly, this is going to cause trouble!"

The wine bureau hastily dissipated.The few people who were still touting just now were a little embarrassed.It seems that something big happened to Didi.Otherwise, why did Cheng Wei leave in such a hurry?

On the morning of the next day, Cheng Wei, Liu Qing and 11 Didi executives held a meeting to update them on the situation.The atmosphere in the bright conference room is a bit depressing.

Everyone already knows that when Uber launched the new version, the regulatory authorities had just concluded a meeting and decided not to allow Uber to suspend operations for rectification, but asked for self-rectification to prevent such incidents from happening and report to the regulatory authorities for approval.

It is equivalent to a yellow card warning.The next time you make a mistake, it is possible that two yellows will turn into one red.

But it's not this that weighs down all Didi executives.This can only mean that Uber has survived the "crisis", but that Uber has launched a fierce counterattack.Play for free, people all over the country love to hear and see!Regardless of the fierce criticism on the Internet, these people will still use Uber.

In this way, how can Didi beat Uber?
Vice President Lao Zhu said: "Mr. Cheng, Mr. Liu, the 40 billion US dollars that Ali Capital raised for us has left about 20 billion US dollars in more than 15 days. This is not enough to burn. But we will die if we don't follow. The data shows that from last night to this morning, the total number of our orders in first- and second-tier cities plummeted to 5%. Terrible!"

Cheng Wei sat at the head seat of the rectangular conference table, rubbing his face. He didn't sleep last night, "It's very unreasonable. Both CIC and CICC are our shareholders. Jing Gao will offend a group of people if he does this. Human."

"Yeah. That kid doesn't want to mess around, does he?"

Liu Qing was about to speak when the phone vibrated suddenly.She went out with her mobile phone, and after a while, Liu Qing came back, pursing her lips forcefully, "I just received the news that the Didi shares held by CIC have been transferred to a Hong Kong company called The private equity fund of 'Satellite 335'. CDH Investment in the magic city also transferred out its shares."

"Mr. Liu, didn't Mr. Wu, who is invested by CDH, promise not to transfer?"

Since this period of time, Didi and Uber have not stopped competing in private.Not only in terms of public opinion, the two parties' efforts to attract, divide, and consolidate their respective shareholders are enough to write a book as complicated as "Three Kingdoms Killing".

And CDH Investment made it clear that it is optimistic about the future of Didi.Even if the shares are to be sold, Didi will be notified in advance.

Liu Qing sighed softly, and told the whole story, "Phoenix Fund promised to Shanghai Magic City to set up a chip design office with at least 2 people in Shanghai. It will be on par with Huawei's Shanghai Research Institute. Just this morning, the intention was just discussed. Sure, they transferred 10 billion U.S. dollars to an account jointly supervised by both parties. Real money."

"What kind of chip design is Phoenix Fund doing? Who are they bluffing?"

"They have a mobile phone company, you've probably heard, called Coolpad. It's no use questioning their determination and motivation. They do have a need for that."

Cheng Wei grabbed his scalp vigorously.His scalp was a little tingly.Jing Gao is so willing to spend money, probably has the heart to kill them?Some time ago, Ali's various means were directed against Phoenix Fund.

Sailors scold, pour dirty water, report, all kinds of suppression, poaching corners...

...

...

The meeting within Didi will not end until the afternoon.Cheng Wei invited Liu Qing to sit in his office for a while.

The early winter in Beijing in mid-November is a bit dry and cold.The air conditioner in Cheng Wei's office is very comfortable.

He threw his coat on the seat, poured a cup of tea for Liu Qing, and spoke first to ease the pressure on the two of them, "The meeting room made by those bongs just now was full of smoke. I also contributed a dozen cigarettes. I am wronged You're inhaling secondhand smoke."

Liu Qing sat on the sofa by the coffee table, holding a teacup, "I'm used to it. Mr. Cheng, we need to communicate with Mr. Xie. We must talk to Phoenix Fund."

In fact, according to Mr. Cai's vision, the focus of the struggle between the two parties is actually to win over their respective shareholders.If Didi relies on the power of Ali and Galaxy, as well as one-sided public opinion, to win over more Uber shareholders, it can promote the merger.

As time goes by, in fact, the two sides are approaching the time when they will see each other.

However, while this matter was being done, there was an accident such as a car accident at Uber, so another focus was added: whether Uber would be suspended.If so, it's a godsend.

The two of them communicated with Ren Zhi.Galaxy Group is working hard.

However, today is indeed close to a showdown.The two of them suddenly discovered that at the end of this confrontation, it seemed that Didi didn't have enough bargaining chips!
Cheng Wei nodded and said, "I already called Lao Wang and Mr. Xie at noon. Mr. Xie said that we can talk about it first. He is already looking for a middleman to talk to Jing Gao."

Just after he finished speaking, Cheng Wei's cell phone rang. "It's Mr. Xie." Cheng Wei answered the phone, pressed the speakerphone and put the phone on the coffee table, "Mr. Xie!"

Xie Shihuang on the phone smiled wryly, "Xiao Cheng, I asked someone to give Jing Gao a message, but he refused. Wait a little longer. I need to report to President Ma and President Cai."

A triple hit from Inoko!

Cheng Wei and Liu Qing looked at each other, and they both felt a trace of despair and regret in their respective eyes.

In fact, it was quite good to sell to Uber at a high valuation in September.
