Chapter 125 The Curse of Round C (8)
The Sherpas' ability to adapt to high altitudes has amazed the world.A few years ago, three western climbers tried to find another way because they did not follow the guidance of the Sherpa guides, which led to conflicts.As a result, in the camp at an altitude of more than 7000 meters, gang fights broke out between the two sides, and the Westerners were beaten to death.Afterwards, many people were amazed. At a high altitude of more than 7000 meters, most people have to carefully conserve their energy, for fear that they will have the strength to go up and not have the strength to come down.But the Sherpas can still fight each other with fists and kicks!
Wang Cheng chatted with the Sherpa guide very speculatively. Recalling the various experiences of climbing the mountain before, Wang Cheng almost danced.Qiancheng's executives occasionally interjected a few words, which were also related to mountain climbing.Fang Yubin couldn't get in the way, but he observed from the sidelines and found that Wang Cheng loved mountain climbing from the bottom of his heart, but his subordinates were more or less suspected of accompanying the prince to study.There has long been a saying in Qiancheng that climbing a mountain with the chairman is a shortcut to the ascent.In ancient times, the king of Chu had a thin waist and starved to death in the palace. Now, the king loves to climb mountains. Smart people know what to do next.

After the meal, Wang Cheng was still unsatisfied, and chatted with the Sherpa for more than half an hour.Fang Yubin complained in his heart, I didn't come all the way to listen to your nagging.You are passionate about climbing, but not everyone should be.We are a cooperative relationship, I am not your subordinate!This Wang Cheng, when the equity war was hanging by a thread, he was a little restrained in dealing with people, but now that the crisis is over, he is arrogant again.

After saying goodbye to the Sherpas, Wang Cheng finally turned his attention to Fang Yubin and said, "I just went to talk about mountain climbing, but I forgot the business. You said on the phone a few days ago that you planned to use Qiancheng's network to connect Yijia The mortgage business of the company has been rolled out across the country. The idea is good, but how will it be implemented?”

Fang Yubin didn't want himself to be Wang Cheng's subordinate, so he pushed Jiang Ruobing out with a look of answering every question: "Let the chairman of Yijia talk about the specific plan. Xinglan Capital is just an investor of Yijia. Ruobing is better at specific business matters."

Jiang Ruobing had already prepared the draft, so he was able to cope with it naturally.As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Cheng stated: "This is a good thing, and we will definitely support it." He turned to Yu Dongming and said, "You are responsible for this matter yourself. I think you are all in good health and have no altitude sickness. How about We will discuss a detailed plan tonight and send it back to the headquarters tomorrow."

When Wang Cheng spoke, Yu Dongming naturally agreed.Jiang Ruobing looked excited and said words of thanks.Wang Cheng didn't like these hypocrisy, so he interrupted with a wave of his hand and asked about the business status of Yijia.Wang Cheng asked very carefully, and Jiang Ruobing's answer was just right, but Fang Yubin who was at the side was a little puzzled, why Wang Cheng was so concerned about the situation of Yijia?
Wang Cheng probably finished the question, so he said, "Just as I said just now, Dongming and Ruobing went to the next room to discuss an operation plan. Yubin and I still have something to discuss."

After Yu Dongming and Jiang Ruobing left, Wang Cheng patted Fang Yubin on the shoulder: "That's right, I'm very optimistic about the Yijia project. Jiang Ruobing is a sensible person. Giving Yijia to her is more reassuring than Yuan Ruilang before."

Fang Yubin nodded: "Yijia is indeed making progress in a good direction, but the next C round of financing will also be a tough battle."

Wang Cheng said: "You can solve these tactical problems. I am thinking about strategic problems."

"What strategic question?" Fang Yubin asked.

Wang Cheng said: "This time I called you here not only for Yijia. I also want to hear your views on Internet finance." Taking a sip of mineral water, Wang Cheng continued: "After Wu Juntong left, Qiancheng Tomorrow’s executives will hold a meeting. At the meeting, I would like to specifically raise the topic of corporate strategic transformation. I’ve been thinking a lot about Internet finance recently, and I even intend to use it as a possible direction for Qiancheng’s transformation.”

A real estate giant like Qiancheng wants to do Internet finance?This is new!Now when it comes to Internet finance, Fang Yubin is definitely an expert. He sorted out his thoughts a little bit and said: "I am very optimistic about Internet finance. When I sold the shares of Dream Theater and put all my energy into Yijia, it was exactly For this reason. Now, Internet + is a buzzword, but in my opinion, it is nothing new. It has been developed and evolved in China for at least ten years. Internet finance is very likely to be the first development of Internet + in China. Triple orgasm."

Wang Cheng looked excited and asked, "Which three orgasms?"

Fang Yubin said: "The first wave of climax appeared at the turn of the century, that is, Internet + information. Through the Internet, the traditional way of information transmission was subverted, and portal websites, search engines and even chat software appeared one after another. In this wave, Sina, Tencent, Baidu and other companies stood out. The second wave of climax was Internet + commerce in the 2010s. Online merchants and online shopping changed the entire business ecology. The most typical examples are Taobao and Jingdong. The next third wave of climax, we I thought it was Internet + finance.”

Wang Cheng looked approvingly, and said: "Your summary is very incisive. Qiancheng is a traditional company, but facing the wave of Internet +, we should not stay out of it. Recently, there is an incident that has a great impact on me."

Wang Cheng went on to say: "An old friend from a trust company came to me not long ago and asked if Qiancheng needed funds. He could help me get 10 billion. I said that there is no shortage of money for the time being, and besides, Qiancheng has been cooperating with various banks. We have maintained a good cooperative relationship, as long as we ask, it will not be a problem to borrow billions of dollars."

Wang Cheng crossed his legs and continued: "The friend said that the bank loan interest is not low, and the procedure is cumbersome. He can find cheaper and faster funds through the online platform."

Wang Cheng smiled: "Businessmen, everyone wants to find cheaper and faster funds. With the attitude of giving it a try, I agreed to cooperate with him."

"How was the result?" Fang Yubin asked.

Wang Cheng said: "Qiancheng issued 10 billion private placement bonds. This friend put the bonds through trust companies and financial asset exchanges, and finally put them on sale on a well-known Internet financial platform in the country. It is said that the sale starts at 10 yuan. The background can also automatically split the asset package. After listing for sale, it was sold out in one day.”

Fang Yubin also laughed: "So, have you become interested in Internet finance?"

Wang Cheng nodded and said, "Otherwise, why would I help Yijia for no reason? Besides, it's just such a trivial matter that I need to call you to Nepal in a hurry? I'm thinking, through this cooperation, at least you can Qiancheng has a more intuitive feeling for Internet finance.”

Fang Yubin understood Wang Cheng's intentions, and then asked, "What are your specific plans for the future?"

Wang Cheng shrugged his shoulders: "It's just a general idea, not a specific plan. But once you decide to do this, you must spend a lot of money, so that it matches Qiancheng's status."

Wang Cheng went on to say: "After listening to Jiang Ruobing's report just now, I feel that Yijia is basically on the right track. I hope that in the future, Yijia can play the role of a reconnaissance team across the river to explore the way for Qiancheng's transformation. Since it is To scout the top soldiers, you might as well be bolder and move faster. Just like when the central government launched a special zone, if it succeeded, it would kill a bloody road. Even if it fails, the risk can be tolerated.”

Wang Cheng was eloquent, but Fang Yubin felt mixed feelings.With the scale and strength of Yijia, it is natural to be overjoyed to be able to stand next to the big tree of Qiancheng.But listening to Wang Cheng's tone, he didn't regard Yijia or even Xinglan Capital as a partner at all, but a subordinate relationship.In Wang Cheng's view, he is an investor of Xinglan Capital, and Xinglan Capital is the largest shareholder of Yijia. Both Xinglan and Yijia are just a branch of Qiancheng.

Fang Yubin doesn't think that he is Wang Cheng's subordinate. Investing and being invested is a cooperative relationship, and it must not become obedience and being obeyed.He decided to remind the other party tactfully: "Thank you for your kindness. However, Yijia's step is better to be steady. Yijia has just gone through a crisis, and Xinglan's family background is not strong. If there is any mistake, it can be tolerated." No way. After all, we and Qiancheng are not a company, and if something really happened, it would be shameless to ask you to fill in the hole."

Wang Cheng was expressionless, waved his hand and said, "Let's take a long-term plan in the future, and start the mortgage business first." Wang Cheng then brought the topic to the industry trend of Internet finance, and Fang Yubin also contributed his views unreservedly. come out.

More than two hours later, Yu Dongming and Jiang Ruobing walked in, and they had already drawn up a specific plan.After Wang Cheng read it, he immediately made a decision: "Just do it like this, and send it back to the headquarters immediately."

Fang Yubin asked: "The executives of Qiancheng have either gone to Mount Everest or hiked at the foot of the mountain. Who should we turn to to discuss this matter?"

Wang Cheng said: "As I said before, Dongming is in charge of this matter. During this period of time, you can temporarily contact Wu Juntong. After returning to China, Ruobing will go to Binhai in person to contact Wu Juntong on behalf of Yijia. After the plan is sent back to the headquarters, I'll call Wu Juntong again."

"Is it suitable to find him?" Fang Yubin was a little worried.

Wang Cheng said with a smile: "These trivial things, people don't need to get in the way. Besides, there are my instructions in the plan, so he dare not not follow them."

"Okay!" Fang Yubin said.

The next day, Fang Yubin and Jiang Ruobing set off for home.With previous experience, when the small plane rushed down the slope of Lukla Airport and was pulled up in a thrilling canyon, the two did not panic too much.After the plane entered the level flight stage, they chatted.

Jiang Ruobing seemed very excited, thinking that the trip was fruitful.Fang Yubin just smiled slightly: "It's a good thing that people are willing to make a move, but it's hard to say how long this hand will be stretched."

"What's wrong?" Jiang Ruobing asked.

Fang Yubin talked about Wang Cheng's intention to make Yijia a "cross-river reconnaissance team", then shook his head and said: "Whether Xinglan or Yijia are independent companies, they have no obligation to be someone's reconnaissance team. Wang Cheng can not We care about the success or failure of a fire reconnaissance, but we have to care about the life and death of our own business."

Jiang Ruobing nodded: "Your worry is not unreasonable, but it is a good thing to be able to connect with Qiancheng after all. In the future cooperation process, we need to grasp the scale."

"That's the only way to go." Fang Yubin said.

Jiang Ruobing added: "After I return to China, I will immediately go to Binhai to visit Wu Juntong. In addition, can the news of the cooperation with Qiancheng be announced to the public?"

"Take it easy." Fang Yubin thought for a while, and said, "I mean, after the cooperation has achieved initial results and Yijia's mortgage business reaches a certain scale, we will announce it with great fanfare. I guess it will only take a few months in the middle. And this time point coincides with Yijia’s C round of financing. Think about it, what will be the effect of announcing major benefits before the C round of financing!”

"I understand." Jiang Ruobing said, "Save the big cards for the critical moment."
