Reborn: Billionaire in College

Today's play was really wonderful.

Tencent suddenly abandoned its godson and started a rebellion, with Lu Chuanwei and Xu Chuansheng defecting for their own interests.

But no one expected that the biggest undercover agent was actually Ali!
Cheng Wei couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.

Why and why?
Is Ali stupid?

Lead the wolf into the room?

That's your mortal enemy!

Wake up!
Cheng Wei and the other two had already figured it out, and they came prepared today.

The idea of ​​the merger definitely did not come out of thin air, but was the result of someone secretly colluding and planning for a long time.

The most annoying thing is that it would have been fine if the meeting had been suspended just now. Now the relationship has completely fallen out, and the situation has become somewhat unreversible.

Faced with pairs of puzzled, unbelievable, and even angry eyes, Peng Lei could only pretend not to see them and tidied her hair.

Peng Lei’s thought at this moment was: It’s useless for you to look at me. Not to mention you, even I don’t know.

Peng Lei glanced helplessly at Teacher Ma’s profile picture on the phone screen.

The latest message.

"Cooperation for mutual benefit and maximization of value."

It was this nonsensical piece of news that made Peng Lei think for a long time before she said nothing.

"Seeking maximum value" naturally means maximizing Alibaba's interests.

Peng Lei spent a long time analyzing what it would take to maximize the situation just now.

Without the introduction of AutoNavi, and by continuing to spend money on subsidies and financing, it will be difficult to determine the outcome, the listing will be a long way off, and it won’t even be clear whether we will win or lose.

With the introduction of AutoNavi, the situation instantly became clear and a giant was born, which was naturally a sure win from the perspective of financial investment.

But Peng Lei didn't understand that shouldn't Alibaba's interests be to promote Alipay? What if Amap and WeChat Pay come into conflict?
What if AutoNavi gets the controlling stake and then kicks Alipay out?
She thought about all these, but ultimately voted in favor with doubts.

It feels bad to have your home robbed.

Cheng Wei's expression contained confusion, doubt, anger and other negative emotions, and his chest began to rise and fall violently.

After a long while, he said in a low voice, "Since the merger is currently only our unilateral idea and we have not yet contacted AutoNavi, this issue will be put on hold for the time being. We will discuss it again after receiving further news."

Cheng Wei used the tactic of procrastination.

Liu Qing breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Cheng Wei was calm enough and came up with a solution that was not a solution.

It's best to drag it out now. After all, it's all wishful thinking, and Gaode hasn't made any official statement.

It's better to delay it as long as possible.

"The board of directors only meets once every few months, and it's quite troublesome for everyone to come every time. The two CEOs Peng have to rush over from Hangzhou and Shenzhen. I suggest that we make it clear and form a board resolution document. If AutoNavi contacts us, then in line with the spirit of this meeting, we should immediately start merger negotiations, succeed in the fastest possible negotiation, and then launch a siege against Uber."

Cheng Wei wanted to delay, but Lu Chuanwei would not give him the chance and spoke up immediately.

Cheng Wei was immediately furious.

Shit stirrup!
Facing Cheng Wei's dark and uncertain eyes, Lu Chuanwei was very calm.

He was willing to be killed and dared to pull the emperor off his horse.

He will have nothing soon anyway, so it would be nice to have Cheng Wei come down and keep him company.

The situation was deadlocked again.

Naturally, a resolution document cannot be formed, otherwise it will become a fixed number and it will be difficult to overturn it.

Fortunately, Wang Gang spoke up: "I object. If the merger resolution is passed by the board of directors, I will request the convening of an extraordinary shareholders' meeting to discuss this matter."

"But since you own less than 10% of the shares, it seems that you don't have the right to convene a shareholders' meeting at any time."

"I am not enough, but when I combine with others, I am enough!"

Lu Chuanwei and Wang Gang were almost at loggerheads.

Among the seven people, only they are suitable for doing such dirty and tiring work.

Cheng Wei is the head of the company, so it is best for him to remain neutral and not express his opinion easily.

Liu Qing is the president and is the next barrier. With Wang Gang around, it’s not her turn for the time being.

Alibaba and Tencent have a distinct position as the first and second largest shareholders.

People like Xu Chuansheng will not offend either side and are the type who can get along with both sides.

Wang Gang is no longer in a core position, and Lu Chuanwei knows that this is his last chance.

So they are the only ones suitable for this dirty job.

The remaining five people watched them perform.

Lu Chuanwei said sinisterly: "The resolution of the board of directors has been agreed by the largest and second largest shareholders. Why bother? Are so many shareholders running back and forth just to keep you entertained? Besides, theoretically speaking, there is no need to discuss the proposals approved by the board of directors at the shareholders' meeting."

Wang Gang's face darkened as he was hit on the point, but he still insisted, "As a director, I can oppose this resolution. If you want to overrule my objection, this must be brought to the shareholders' meeting, right?"

“You do have the right to submit proposals directly to the shareholders’ meeting without going through the board of directors, but the proposals themselves still need to be reviewed, and proposals that do not meet the requirements may not be submitted.”

"In this case, the board of directors must have clear reasons for not approving a qualified proposal. If the board of directors rejects a proposal that should be submitted to the shareholders' meeting for deliberation, and ultimately does not submit it to the shareholders' meeting for deliberation, the relevant directors who cause serious losses to the company may be liable for compensation. Can you bear this responsibility?" Wang Gang said angrily.

Seeing that the two people were talking more and more outrageous, and even showing signs of having a pure quarrel, Cheng Wei had to cough and come out to smooth things over.

"How about we stop here today? Lao Wang, if you want to hold a shareholders' meeting, then do it. It's a new company with a new atmosphere. It would be nice for the shareholders of the two companies to come together for a meeting and get to know each other."

Cheng Wei naturally sided with Wang Gang.

At this time, Cheng Wei, Wang Gang and Liu Qing had a simple idea: not to dwell too much on the board of directors and end the meeting quickly. During the period of planning for the shareholders' meeting, they quickly met with shareholders to gain more support.

This is almost Cheng Wei’s only backup and chance.

The upset Cheng Wei also needs some time to find out the reason behind this!
Why did Tencent abandon him, and why did Alibaba also want to make peace with its arch-rival.

It's all so weird.

He was almost 100% sure that Chen Pingjiang had taken action.

This is even more terrifying!

He thought he had the company firmly in control, but he didn't expect to be hit hard when he was most proud.

After the board meeting ended, Lu Chuanwei, in contrast to his previous dejection, took the initiative to pull Xu Chuansheng away first.

He has a good relationship with Xu Chuansheng. After the merger of Didi Dache and Kuaidi Dache was completed, Xu Chuansheng cared about him twice.

As the queen of Alibaba, Peng Lei said nothing and directly declined the invitation from her old colleague Wang Gang.

Because she herself didn't understand exactly what had happened, she needed to go back and communicate further with Lao Ma.

Cheng Wei wanted to keep Peng Zhijian, but was rejected.

"The shareholders' meeting will be held soon. We'll get together then. I've been busy with work these days and I have to go to Shanghai. Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Cheng." Looking at the suddenly empty meeting room, veins popped out on Cheng Wei's forehead.

When Peng Zhijian left, he smiled and shook his head through the reflection of the lenses.

Cheng Wei is a capable person, but it depends on who he is with.

For a small startup company on the roadside, capabilities can make up for the gap, but for a domestic No. 1 giant like Renren, capabilities will be a liability.

As Tencent's vice president and general manager of investment and mergers and acquisitions department, Peng Zhijian knew about Chen Pingjiang's layout almost from the beginning, and he was also the one who operated it.

But they were a little surprised that Chen Pingjiang was able to take over Alibaba.

"This guy really has magical powers. He fought Tencent to the death, but later Mr. Ma became good friends with him. How can we seek justice?"

At this moment, the Didi trio were the only ones left in the conference room, staring at each other.

"This time it's my fault. Originally there was no resolution and we could have dragged it out, but we didn't expect it would end up requiring a shareholders' meeting." Wang Gang came up and apologized first.

Cheng Wei shook his head: "It's not your fault. The other party is ready to attack. It doesn't matter whether the resolution is passed or not. We don't have much time left. We must deal with all shareholders in the shortest time possible and win the most votes to be invincible at the shareholders' meeting."

Wang Gang sighed: "I'm afraid those shareholders will be grinning when they hear this news. I can't blame Xu Chuansheng today. If it weren't for our relationship, even if I was just a shareholder, I would not be able to resist the temptation of the merger with AutoNavi."

Everyone has a secret account in their mind.

Xu Chuansheng's ideas are basically the ideas of all shareholders, and it is not easy to do these people's work.

At this time, Liu Qing said, "I will be responsible for dealing with Ali. I will ask my father to contact Mr. Ma and ask about the specific situation. As long as Ali can be dealt with, Chen Pingjiang will never succeed."

Resolutions of the general meeting of shareholders require two-thirds of the votes to be passed.

As long as Alibaba shakes its head, and with the shares of Cheng Wei and Wang Gang, it will naturally exceed two-thirds.

But if Alibaba can't handle it, it will be useless even if they call on the two small shareholders.

But no matter what, we must always be prepared for both situations.

After determining the specific tasks that each person was responsible for, the Didi trio immediately booked air tickets for their business trip.

…………

While the Didi trio was taking action, the others were not idle either.

Lu Chuanwei boarded Chen Pingjiang's boat, and for his own sake and for the sake of his brothers, he was determined to go all the way.

He not only started doing Xu Chuansheng's work, but also did the work of other small shareholders of Kuaidi Dache.

The news could not be buried in the circle. More and more shareholders learned about it and applied to review the board resolutions.

In this regard, Cheng Wei had no choice but to submit it.

The board of directors’ resolutions do not need to be proactively communicated to shareholders, but others have the right to review them.

For a time, Chen Pingjiang became a hot commodity.

The managers of each shareholder wanted to communicate with Chen Pingjiang face to face, and Chen Pingjiang accepted all of them and made it clear that he did not rule out the merger of AutoNavi and Didi.

What people are even more curious about is how Chen Pingjiang managed to take over Alibaba.

Xiao Ma Ge also asked this question with great interest on the other end of the phone.

Chen Pingjiang smiled and replied: "Because Lao Ma is smart enough."

The fact that the words were not said explicitly aroused Xiao Ma Ge's curiosity even more.

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Ma Ge was so envious that his heart was stiff.

Chen Pingjiang created the sixth largest Internet company without any bloodshed, and his capital operation skills became more and more sophisticated.

The key is to have a deep understanding of human nature, grasp the pulse of capital, and be able to make money together with everyone.

In this merger, Gaode is not the key, but Chen Pingjiang is.

If Chen Pingjiang was not behind Cheng Congwu, people might not be happy about the merger with Gaode.

After seeing off the head of Temasek's China region, Chen Pingjiang lit a cigarette for himself and carefully sorted out whether there was anything he had missed.

He did not deny that the method this time was a bit rough and not delicate enough, and even the way he ate looked a bit ugly to outsiders.

But it doesn’t matter, the winner takes it all.

He doesn't have time to infiltrate bit by bit, and he won't just watch Didi continue to grow and develop, as that is not in Chen Pingjiang's interests.

There is almost no chance that he will fail in this merger because he still has at least two cards to use.

These two trump cards can only be played at critical moments and will definitely have miraculous effects.

…………

On the other side, the Alipay Queen, who had just returned to Hangzhou, went straight to Ma’s office.

The first thing Jin Ben asked was: "What's going on here?"

Old Ma smiled and held out his hand: "Sit down first, what would you like to drink?"

"No, I drank enough on the plane. Why should we cooperate with Renren? I just want to know the answer to this question now."

Lao Ma spread his hands and said, "It's nothing. Everyone comes for profit. Our relationship with Renren has changed over time, but we are not mortal enemies."

"You make it sound so easy, you must have been bribed by some offer you couldn't refuse."

"It's nothing, actually. Chen Pingjiang promised me a few things that I couldn't refuse. First, he said the new company would not remove Alipay and would let users choose between Alipay and WeChat Pay."

Just by hearing this, Peng Lei knew that she would not be able to refuse.

Didi connected to WeChat Pay because it wanted to get orders from AutoNavi, but other platforms that AutoNavi cooperated with did not have Alipay, which meant that a large number of consumers appeared out of thin air.

"Second, he promised that from now on, no Ali business or product will be blocked on WeChat or Weibo, and there will never be a red envelope war where our red envelopes cannot be shared on WeChat. Third, compared to Cheng Wei, I trust Chen Pingjiang's ability more. Fourth, from the perspective of a financial investor, the merger will also bring greater benefits."

Hearing this, Peng Lei breathed a sigh of relief, finally understanding why Ma had such a crooked hairpin.

The first point is very sincere, not to mention the second one. As long as WeChat and Weibo do not ban Alibaba and Alipay, it will be great news for the latter two.

In the future, users can use WeChat to share Taobao and Tmall products, which can greatly increase Taotian Group’s sales.

As for the third and fourth points, Peng Lei also knew that there was nothing to explain.

In fact, there was no loss for Chen Pingjiang by agreeing to Lao Ma's condition.

Why not remove Alipay payment from the new company's APP and lift the ban on WeChat without spending a penny?

Chen Pingjiang is not worried about Alibaba becoming bigger.

Because market behavior needs to be regulated in recent years.

If you continue to ban and force people to choose between the two, you will be tired of living. Sooner or later you will be fined for antitrust violations.

In the future, you will be forced to lift the ban, which will not only be embarrassing but also prevent you from gaining any benefits.

But now, if we take the initiative to use it as a bargaining chip, the benefits we will gain will be huge. (End of this chapter)
