How Did I Become a God

The evening breeze was slowly over the Huangpu River. Everyone in the Phoenix Fund, who was traveling at night, was in high spirits. At this time, Liu Qing, Didi's president, was also calling her cousin Liu Zhen.

　　 Uber has made such a big thing, how can Didi not pay attention? Since Liu Qing has this relationship, she naturally wants to inquire about it.

Liu Qing was on the phone in her villa study, and after a few words of greeting, she asked: "Jen, your Uber strategy is very strange. The Phoenix Fund is so strong, why not invest in shares? Instead, it is a direct acquisition. "

　　 At the morning's press conference, Qiao Shuang, the president of Phoenix Fund, has disclosed the details of the acquisition. Phoenix Fund invested 7.2 billion US dollars to acquire% of the shares and renamed the company Uber.

　　 At the same time, the Phoenix Fund will also inject US$1 billion to acquire a% of the shares. Mutual holdings.

　　 Mutual shareholding is a common model in business. This is a manifestation of the willingness of the two parties to cooperate strategically.

　　 Liu Zhen said faintly: "Jean, since Phoenix Fund has such strength and is optimistic about the field of travel, and it happens that Mr. Kalanick of Uber wants to withdraw from the Chinese market, acquisition is normal."

　　 In fact, there is a red line in the venture capital field: any major shareholder should not hold more than 30% of the shares. Beyond this line, unless it is a particularly good unicorn, otherwise no venture capital will continue to invest money.

　　 Because the most delicious piece of cake has been eaten.

　　 Uber China has this shortcoming. Like Didi, after five or six rounds of financing, the largest shareholder Tencent's equity is just over 10%. And Uber China's controlling shareholder Uber holds up to 88.5% of the shares.

　　 Therefore, Uber can only invest his own money to support his son. In addition, he currently has to expand globally, for example, it also faces competition from lyft in North America. So Kalanick retired after Apple invested in Didi.

　　 Liu Qing laughed, "Jen, it seems that the market rumors are true. Your Uber management knows nothing about the acquisition news!"

　　 Liu Zhen said blankly: "Jean, if you call to tease me, then you can hang up."

　　 Liu Qing laughed, "That won't be enough. Uber is Didi's biggest opponent at the moment. I don't respect you, but I don't respect myself. When will the Phoenix Fund take over Uber?"

　　 Liu Zhen groaned for a few seconds, and replied: "Tomorrow afternoon. Jean, I am looking forward to the start of the second match between us."

　　The good news media has long written in the news: The competition between Uber and Didi in the shared travel field is a pair of "sisters of genius".

　　 In the list of 25 global geniuses released in April by the US "Wired" magazine, both Liu Qing and Liu Zhen were selected.

　　 Liu Qing laughed inwardly, and said: "Jen, if I were you, I would choose to resign. As Uber's head of strategy, he didn't even know about the equity change, so why is it leading the battle?

　　 Also, I don’t think this is the beginning of our second contest. The Phoenix Fund may be well-funded. But the power of your shareholders is too weak. The subsidy war continues, and none of China's venture capitalists will agree.

　　 Next, it's just anxious state, and then a new round of merger negotiations. We are just getting as many bargaining chips as possible. "

　　 Although the outside world compares her with her cousin, she actually knows very well that her cousin can't call the shots in uber China's affairs. Uber China's regional managers report directly to Kalanick.

　　 Her cousin is only in charge of government and media public relations. From the outside world, Liu Zhen is the spokesperson of Uber China. But everyone in the circle knows the inside story. Liu Zhen is a far cry from her position in Didi.

　　 She deliberately lifted her cousin to the same height as her, but it was only on the surface of politeness.

　　 Liu Zhen suddenly smiled and said: "Jean, then I won't quit my job. Let's do it, goodbye."

　　 Hanging up, Liu Zhen walked to the balcony of her room and looked at the Huangpu River. According to her previous routine, she is actually communicating with Uber headquarters and reporting to her work. Instead, I was free today.

　　 Liu Qing's phone call, although the gun and the stick were attached, did plant a thorn in her heart. Perhaps she should consider leaving her job.

　　First, she returned to the country for more than a year. Her uncle is a recognized godfather and leader of the Chinese business community. She still knows the energy of the shareholders behind Didi. If the Phoenix Fund only has more money, it will definitely not be able to withstand the pressure of merger.

　　 If Ali’s jack horse and Tencent’s pony horse promote the merger together, how many technology companies in China can refuse?

　　 There is a high probability that none of them will be found.

　　Secondly, she is indeed uneasy in her heart. Their pioneers of Uber relied on their ideals, missions, and cultures to gather together, not on shares. Then it is okay if the shares are not given, and the least respect is not given to them?

　　 What's the point of staying?

　　 And the plan of the Phoenix Fund, who knows what's going on? It is normal for her to be emptied as an iconic figure of Uber China. Who doesn't understand the connotation of co-CEOs?

　　...

　　...

　　 The next morning, Jing Gao ate breakfast in the dining room in Room 3102 of the Baijinwan Mansion, flipping through the newspaper sent by Guan Yujia.

　　 are all news about Phoenix Fund’s acquisition of Uber. There is also the sentence Xiao Qiao said, "9 billion dollars is just a small business."

　　 The newspapers are naturally positive reports. The Phoenix Fund held a press conference yesterday and paid the "carriage fee".

　　 "Eh, when did the two of you have a relationship like this?" Jing Gao put down the newspaper and saw Yan Ting and Guan Yujia chat together in a low voice, drinking soy milk, and asked amusedly.

　　 Yan Ting smiled beautifully, with apricot eyes and lips, "You don't understand women's friendship. I can talk with Guan Ting."

　　 Guan Yu Jia said shyly: "Mr. Jing, when you went to the yacht to answer the phone yesterday, I talked a lot with Sister Yan." Only then did she know why Sister Yan would not follow Mr. Jing with such a good condition.

　　Zong Chong crowned as a confidante, tens of millions are not ready to ask for it. Sister Yan mentioned it last night with sweetness and gratitude.

　　Itaka is thinking of the situation when he answered the phone last night. When the relationship between him and Weiwei was strong, she returned to her hometown for summer vacation. Talking about the night view of the Huangpu River on the phone, naturally the topic stretched out, and he agreed to pick her up at the station when she returned to Beijing.

　　 smiled and shook his head~www.ltnovel.com~ Jing Gao was eating the soup dumplings, the magical soup dumplings are still very famous, the skin is thin and the soup is big and the soup is rich.

　　 was eating, Jing Gao's phone rang suddenly. Jing Gao answered the phone, and Ouyang Wan's charming voice came from inside, "Ms. Jing, morning."

　　 "Morning."

Ouyang Wan is a capable person on the social field and rushed directly to the subject, "Jing, I just heard a news. Uber executives have doubts about the Phoenix Fund and are not optimistic about your ability to fight Didi’s shareholder power. Prepare to leave. When you go to take over the company in the afternoon, you have to make some preparations. People like Uber can compete with Didi, and many of them are talents."

　　 She is in the magic city and sees clearly the competition between Uber and Didi. Uber's employees and strategies are all smart and quick, and it is not at all down to compete with Didi. The only difference is money. This is precisely the strength of the Phoenix Fund.

　　 Jing Gao knew it well, and said, "Ms. Ouyang, thank you."

　　As a god, he entered the business field not to make money, but to expand his influence.

　　 To use the simplest analogy, suppose he wants to set up a villa in his hometown of Haizhou and experience the life of nature. Will he be able to get the land smoothly when he is a Shenhao? It must be done up and down.

　　 Then, if he is the boss of a well-known domestic enterprise and he returns home to invest in tourism, is it easy to get it done?

　　Being a god, if you want to live and moisturize, social influence is indispensable.

　　 Therefore, he hopes Uber can be the first in the field of travel!
