Rebirth 2006, creating a super consortium

JD.com?

An Xin immediately began to recall JD.com’s development at that time.

In 2006, JD.com was just a platform specializing in 3C products. It had not yet expanded its full-category channels, nor built its own logistics system, so it was not yet a pure B2C platform!

According to the market valuation in 2006, JD.com’s valuation was at most tens of millions of RMB!

Not to mention, if it could be acquired, it would be quite suitable!

The question is, is Brother Dong willing to sell?

An Xin shook her head slightly, feeling very nervous!

But we have to give it a try. If the acquisition is successful, we can not only acquire a basic platform, but also gain dozens of key technical talents.

The most important thing is to invite Liu Xidong to join Micro Times Company and work together to build the great cause of the Internet!

He Weidong still needs time to grow, but Liu Lingdong does not. He is already fully mature and is in the stage of gathering momentum. He is the perfect candidate for CEO!

After figuring it out, An Xin turned to look at Zhao Rui: "Why choose JD?"

"familiar!"

Zhao Rui gave his own reasons: "Seven or eight years ago, I met JD.com's boss Liu Lingdong through a childhood friend. I have been in contact with him occasionally over the years. If Mr. An wants to talk, I can help to make an appointment!"

"Oh?"

An Xin's heart was moved, and she said with a smile: "Is it such a coincidence?"

Zhao Rui certainly understood the underlying meaning of An Xin's words, and quickly explained: "Boss An, my childhood friend is called Gong Xiaojing, she is Liu Lingdong's ex-girlfriend, and it was through her that I met Liu Lingdong!"

"Although Xiaojing's family disapproved of their relationship in 2003 and forced them to break up, my contact with Liu Lingdong has not been cut off. We are still friends and we still say hello during festivals and so on!"

An Xin nodded thoughtfully!

I didn’t expect that Gong Xiaojing is actually Zhao Rui’s childhood friend. That’s quite interesting!

You know, after Liu Xindong became successful, there were a lot of rumors about his ex-girlfriend Gong Xiaojing, such as three generations of politics, a family of officials, and a top family in Beijing. All of them were so detailed that it was hard to tell the truth from the false!

An Xin was a little confused about this kind of news, but it didn’t matter, didn’t she have Zhao Rui?

"Zhao Rui, there is news in the Internet circle that Gong Xiaojing is a very important person and Liu Lidong got started with her. Is this true?"

Zhao Rui scoffed at this statement: "Bullshit, Xiao Jing and I grew up in the same compound, what should I not know?"

"Our compound has never produced any top figures. Xiaojing's grandfather was a colonel in 55, her father is the director of a department in the Ministry of Finance, and her mother is the vice president of a state-owned enterprise. How should I put it? Her family is not as good as the top in the circle, but better than the bottom!"

What a good saying: not as good as the best but better than the worst!

An Xin almost couldn't hold it anymore!

Not to mention her grandfather who was a colonel in 55, her father was the director of a bureau in the Ministry of Finance!

You have to know that the Ministry of Finance is a core ministry, so no matter which bureau the director is, he is definitely a powerful official!

This is a position that he wouldn't even trade for if offered to be a deputy governor!

But An Xin understood what Zhao Rui wanted to express. In the final analysis, it was still a matter of circle. It only meant that Zhao Rui's circle was not among the top circles. It was not wrong to say that it was not as good as the best but better than the worst!

"Gong Xiaojing's family is not as good as the best, but better than the worst. How about your family?"

Zhao Rui smiled bitterly and said, "Boss An, my family is even worse. Although my grandfather was a major general in 55, he died early and didn't catch up with the good times."

"My father has already retired. Before retirement, he was only the deputy director of a certain bureau in the Propaganda Department, at the deputy department level, and he didn't even get to be a full department level."

"My brother is quite capable. He is 36 years old this year and is currently a small director in the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee. If everything goes well in the future, he may be able to fight for the position of director, but there is no hope for him to be a deputy minister!"

An Xin's mind moved, and she immediately thought of Wang Dana who was working in the Organization Department. After thinking for a while, she asked, "Oh? What's your brother's name? Which department of the Organization Department does he work in?"

Zhao Rui's eyes lit up when he heard this!

Mr. An’s question is definitely not simple, it might be of great help to his brother!

"Boss An, my brother's name is Zhao Xin, and he is currently serving as the director of the Second Division of the First Bureau of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee."

Peace of mind and happiness!

Tsk, there is really no coincidence in the world!

Wang Dana is the executive deputy director of the First Bureau, and the director of the First Bureau is concurrently the deputy minister, who basically has no responsibility for anything. Therefore, Wang Dana is in charge of the daily affairs of the bureau. It is not an exaggeration to say that he holds great power!

The most important thing is that after communicating with Wang Dana many times, An Xin already knows who the big boss who values ​​Wang Dana is!

Taking into account that Wang Dana is only in his early forties, we can only say that Wang Dana has a promising future and even high-ranking officials can take a chance!

Tsk, An Xin really didn’t expect that faction would start making moves in 2006!

Be far-sighted!

After sighing inwardly, An Xin turned his head to look at Zhao Rui, only to see that Zhao Rui was looking at him eagerly, as if expecting something.

Seeing this, An Xin smiled and said, "When I go to the capital, I can invite your brother out for dinner and chat!"

Zhao Rui immediately replied cheerfully: "No problem, we are always waiting for Mr. An's orders!"

An Xin nodded slightly, and then said, "Okay, let's talk about JD.com. I agree with the suggestion of acquiring JD.com. The question is, is Liu Xiaodong willing to sell it?"

Zhao Rui shook his head and said, "Boss An, Liu Lingdong is having a hard time right now. JD.com is in a crisis and could go bankrupt at any time!"

"Oh?"

An Xin was very surprised. She seemed to have never heard of this in her previous life. She quickly asked, "What's going on?"

"Liu Lidong reached a preliminary investment agreement with a listed company more than half a year ago. The agreement stipulates that the other party will invest 500 million yuan in JD.com and provide an additional 200 million yuan bridge loan, and then occupy 40% of JD.com shares."

“After signing the preliminary investment agreement, the other party first paid JD.com RMB 200 million as a bridge payment, but unexpectedly, before the remaining investment payment was made, the other party’s stock price collapsed. Then, the other party not only withdrew its investment in JD.com, but also asked JD.com to return the RMB 200 million bridge payment as soon as possible!”

"But the 200 million RMB bridge loan has already been used up. There is no money to pay it back in a short time. So Liu Lidong is looking for funds everywhere. I heard that he has already found many venture capital companies!"

opportunity!

After Zhao Rui's explanation, An Xin immediately realized that now is the best time to acquire JD.com!

He has already remembered JD.com's slightly tortuous development history and knows that if he does not take action, by December, JD.com will receive a venture capital of up to 12 million US dollars and officially start its development journey as a B1000C overlord!
