How Did I Become a God

The view of the very fashionable restaurant is very good. In the autumn, the Huangpu River is heading east. At the seat next to the window, Guo Lingyu looked at Jing Gao with shining eyes, waiting for his reply.

　　 Jing Gao did not pretend to be profound, smiled faintly, and said: "Okay. I am waiting for Goldman Sachs' capital to come in."

　　 Goldman Sachs and **** are the top investment banks in the United States. However, the times have changed! Now is not the time for the top five US investment banks to be at the top of the global financial food chain before the 2008 financial crisis.

　　 And, even if it was, he wouldn't be afraid!

　　In China, some people often quote reports from Goldman Sachs and Xiao Mo, what about this matter. There are also reports from the three major U.S. rating agencies, how and how. Don't you know that they often sing the tune of China's collapse theory?

　　 China’s economic issues and business affairs, if you believe in the Americans, your mind is flooded, right? Anyway, he despised this kind of financial comprador.

　　 So, Liu Qing shouldn't expect him to kneel down when he hears the word "Golden Sachs". What about Goldman Sachs? It's nothing more than holding the pass before the US stock market goes public! Who are you scaring? Waiting for you to list Didi on NASDAQ in the US, believe it or not I have killed Didi in China?

　　 Guo Lingyu's evaluation of Jing Gao is very high. After meeting in Shencheng last time, she realized that she must maintain her relationship with Jinggao. At this moment, I wanted to persuade Jing Gao. The energy of Wall Street's financial capital is terrifying. But after thinking about it, he smiled and raised the tall glass, "Jing, domineering!"

　　 Jing Gao smiled, "Miss Guo, your **** is completely crooked." Raised the wine glass and touched her lightly.

Guo Lingyu smiled softly, with bright eyes and a charming smile, and said, "Ms. Jing, I am only entrusted by Jean to communicate as a private person. This does not mean that I hold Didi's position. I admire you very much. Reply. I think it’s more appropriate for you to hold Uber, a company than you own shares in Didi."

　　 These words are more candid.

Jing Gao smiled and nodded, and said, "Ms. Guo, you help me bring a message to President Liu. My original intention remains the same, and I am still willing to buy Didi. In addition, any shareholder of Didi who wants to withdraw, I am willing to follow suit. Didi purchased at a price calculated from the latest valuation of 33.5 billion U.S. dollars in September."

"Chuck." Guo Lingyu smiled and said, "Ms. Jing, I will bring it there. However, you continue to compete with Jean! Moreover, Didi's investors should have signed an agreement and cannot sell their shares. To Didi’s competitors."

　　Jing Gao said: "So, let the shareholders of Didi push Didi to merge with Uber." He has to consider the withdrawal of Didi's state-owned capital.

　　 Guo Lingyu propped his elbows on the dining table, staring at the height of Jing for a few seconds with wonderful eyes, then smiled, sipped a sip of red wine, and said sternly: "Mr. Jing, you are going to kill Didi!"

　　How can she not clearly understand Jing Gao's business strategy? It is important to know that Uber (China) currently dominates the market. The subsidy war continues, and $33.5 billion is likely to be Didi's highest valuation.

　　 If Jing Gao is willing to buy Didi at this price, many investors will be satisfied. No resentment or blame on Jing Gao at all.

　　 Then, the crux of the problem comes. The management of Uber and Didi are unwilling to give up control of their respective companies. However, Uber is dominated by the Phoenix Fund, and Jing Gao alone has the final say. Didi is not in charge of Cheng Wei and Liu Qing. Capital has the final say.

　　 Moreover, Uber currently has an advantage and can be delayed. How do you drag Didi over there? The more you drag the valuation, the lower the valuation will be.

　　 Jing Gao smiled and drank a sip of red wine. It's comfortable to chat with smart people! It is more comfortable to chat with a smart and beautiful beauty. His eyes flicked through the neckline of her pink shirt. There is a gully in this female murderer.

"Hey..." Guo Lingyu reacted at this moment, sitting upright with one hand over the neckline, looking at Jing Gao in an annoyed look, and then generously invited: "Ms. Jing, this meal is almost done. Let's go upstairs. Have some more drinks at the bar? I heard that the view above is very good."

　　 I think the scenery just now is very good. Jing Gao smiled in his heart and declined, "Miss Guo, let's go another day. When the business is finished, I will invite you to drink."

　　 Obviously, Liu Qing asked Guo Lingyu to spread the word, which was the beginning of a series of confrontations and negotiations between Didi and Uber. Not a summary. His energy needs to be spent on business, instead of letting go of his vigilance now, go drinking with Guo Lingyu and admire the river view, thinking about how to be a miner, open the tunnel and expand it.

　　 Guo Lingyu's eyes moved slightly, and he smiled and nodded: "Okay."

　　...

　　...

　　 At noon on the 24th, Liu Qing was also meeting "friends". As China's financial center, Didi also has many shareholder representatives or persons in charge who live in the city.

　　 The bright sunshine fell on the terrace, and Liu Qing was wearing a shirt and trousers, eating French food with Shen Nanpeng of Hongbin (China) and Xie Ying, managing director of Ali Capital.

　　Alibaba Capital is the strategic investment department of Alibaba. There are 5 teams. 3 in China, 1 in the U.S., and 1 in Southeast Asia. The capital scale exceeds 20 billion U.S. dollars. These five teams report directly to Cai Chongxin.

　　 President Cai’s name, I believe anyone who is familiar with Alibaba’s founding experience will know it. This is Jack Ma’s most important assistant and can be called the right man.

　　 And Xie Ying, the director and general manager of Alibaba Capital, is responsible for the investment in the TMT field. There are three others at the same level as him in China.

　　 Take Ali's current status in the domestic business community. To be honest, even if Shen Nanpeng is a business tycoon and Liu Qing is the daughter of President Liu, it is impossible for President Cai to fly from the United States to Modu to have a meal with them.

　　 Shen Nanpeng groaned, "Mr. Liu, do you think Jing Gao of the Phoenix Fund will accept your terms?"

Liu Qing cut the steak gracefully, and said: "From his personal pursuit, he is unlikely to agree. After all, he once acquired Uber at a premium of 2 billion US dollars. It can be seen that he is very optimistic about the online car-hailing business. However, from In terms of self-interest and the actual situation, I think he should accept it. Didi can give Phoenix Fund a position as a director on the board of directors when necessary."

　　 Today, she met Shen Nanpeng and Xie Ying for dinner, and wanted to get the agreement of these two people for her merger plan.

　　 Shen Nanpeng nodded slightly.

Xie Ying complimented: "President Liu is so courageous! The subsidy battle between Didi and Uber really can't go on, it's completely meaningless. Mr. Liu is very sincere on this condition. It is okay to make a moderate profit. "

　　He is an investment. The valuations of Internet companies are sometimes very false. Even the investors and the invested companies have raised their valuations together.

　　 Liu Qing’s plan seems to seriously damage the interests of Didi’s shareholders. Come to think of it, Didi's valuation is 33.5 billion U.S. dollars. Merger with the $15 billion Uber. How much benefit must be transferred out?

　　 Calculate this subtraction.

　　 But it is not. If Didi exchanges new shares for Uber shares, how high is the cost? How much does it cost to issue new shares? The number of shares of Didi’s shareholders has not changed, except that their shareholding ratios are all diluted by 50%. However, as long as the valuation of the merged Didi continues to rise, the value of this part of the shares of each shareholder will not lose 50%.

　　 So this is a balance point. All investors must understand one truth: it is safe to lose money. It’s not about how much you value, your shares will eventually be sold at this price. This is purely thinking too much.

　　 Public information shows that in June of this year, it received a US$3.5 billion financing from Saudi Arabia, and Uber’s valuation was as high as US$68.1 billion. Therefore, Xindidi still has upward potential in terms of valuation.

　　 Liu Qing can use this method to "knock out" Uber, this is victory! This is to protect the interests of investors.

　　Qing Liu raised the wine glass and said with a smile: "Mr. Shen, Mr. Xie, thank you for your support."

　　 "cheers!" Shen Nanpeng and Xie Ying toasted and drank.

At this moment, Liu Qing's cell phone rang. She checked that the number was from Guo Lingyu. After thinking about it, she answered the phone at the table and asked confidently: "Lily, you talked with Jing Gao. how is the situation?"

Of course, Guo Lingyu would not show her inner tendencies in front of Liu Qing. She was entrusted to be loyal to others, and said with a slight emotion: "Jean, Jing Gao rejected your proposal. It is clear that if Didi wants to introduce Goldman Sachs' capital went public in the United States, and he stayed with him to the end.

　　 Liu Qing's face suddenly turned ugly, and she pursed her lips: "So, does he want to fight Didi to the end?"

"That's not the case. Jing Gao wants me to convey his thoughts to you. He is still willing to buy Didi. And he said that any Didi shareholder wants to withdraw at this time, he is willing to use Didi's September financing estimate. The purchase price of shares calculated at a value of 33.5 billion U.S. dollars."

　　 Liu Qing reacted instantly, Jing Gao's purpose of releasing this "news". Can't help but take a breath, "hiss~". She is in great trouble.

　　 Hanging up, Liu Qing broke free from the anxiety a little bit. Looking at the two persons in charge of Hongbin (China) and Ali Capital sitting in front of him, she couldn't help smiling bitterly and her head was a little dizzy. This is really a face slap!

　　 She said just now that Jing Gao would definitely agree to her terms from the perspective of interest, but Jing Gao not only refused, but slapped her back.

　　 Shen Nanpeng sat at the dining table and asked concerned: "Mr. Liu, are you okay?"

　　...

　　...

　　Lunch ended in a slightly silent atmosphere. It is impossible for Liu Qing to conceal the two partners with such big news.

　　 Still the same sentence, the demons are domestic financial centers. The network of various connections here is like a spider web. Maybe this time, Uber shareholders and Didi shareholders are eating at the same table. There is no way to hide it.

"Goodbye, two!" Liu Qing shook hands with Shen Nanpeng and Xie Ying, and came out of the French restaurant on the fifth floor ~www.ltnovel.com~ and called the assistant. When she walked out of the mall, a Mercedes-Benz had stopped. On the side of the road.

　　 In the afternoon sun, Liu Qing, who was wearing only a shirt and taking off her jacket, suddenly felt that the wind blowing from the high-rise buildings was a bit cool, "Autumn is here!" He got in the car and said, "Go back to the hotel."

　　 "Okay, Mr. Liu."

　　Qing Liu meets with Guo Lingyu to learn more about the content of her conversation with Jing Gao. Then one person returned to the Ritz-Carlton Pudong, where she was staying, and spent two hours alone in the room meditating. At six o'clock in the afternoon, he called Didi's founder and CEO Cheng Wei.

　　 "Liu Qing, have you had dinner?"

In the luxurious five-star hotel suite, Liu Qing looked at the bright night view of the magic city outside the window, not much worse than Manhattan, New York. Listening to Cheng Wei’s voice, a multitude of thoughts rushed into her heart, and she did not know what to do Reply.

　　 On the phone, Cheng Wei felt something was wrong, and asked: "Liu Qing, are you okay?"

　　 Liu Qing's voice was a little hoarse, and she said in a low mood: "Cheng, our... business is about to end."

　　 When she joined Didi, she did not expect such a day. When Didi dominated the Chinese market, she did not expect such a day.

　　 This entrepreneurial journey cannot be said to have failed. After all, it can be sold for $33.5 billion. However, Didi was developed and expanded little by little by her and the team. Sell ​​it, can she not feel bad? But, if it doesn't sell, can Didi still hold it?

　　 In the darkness, Liu Qing finally couldn't help crying.
