Chapter 1635: Shock
The brilliant afternoon sunlight slants through the French Roman colonnade, casting irregular geometric light and shadows on the exterior walls of the villa.
In the golf course not far from the villa, the well-maintained fairway seemed to be filled with the fragrance of roses. In the mist raised by the automatic sprinkler system, the green flag could be vaguely seen unfurling in the warm summer breeze. The golf club swung on the lawn, creating fine ripples in the stagnant air in the afternoon.
The good times passed slowly in the afternoon.
Fosun's Guo Guangchang was also playing golf with Deputy Secretary-General Qin. Shenghai has many golf courses, not just the Tomson Golf in Pudong and the two golf courses in Sheshan Scenic Tourist Area.
Tomson Group and Jinggao are very close, and they have also cooperated in film and television and real estate business in Hong Kong Island. The bridge connecting the two parties is Yi Hongyun, the goddaughter of Ms. Xu, the female boss of Tomson Group and the producer of "Farewell My Concubine".
The golf course in Sheshan Scenic Area belongs to the "Shuyun Club", which is managed by Tan Yunqiu's maid Fang Jie and belongs to Jing Gao's territory.
Guo Guangchang invited Deputy Secretary-General Qin to play basketball, but of course he would not go to Jinggao's territory. Accompanying him to play basketball was Wang Qunbin, the co-founder and executive director of Fosun, who was also the person in charge of Fosun Group's recent participation in Mingyuan Group's debt restructuring plan.
As Phoenix Group's boss Jing Gao exploded Mingyuan Group's debt, the capital and big companies in Shenghai all noticed this delicious piece of cake.
Of course, Jing Gao is not a pushover. He is notorious in the underworld and wants to dominate the debt restructuring of Mingyuan Group and monopolize the profits. How could Fosun agree to this?
But after a series of initial bargaining, especially Jinggao's plan to invest $60 billion in Shanghai to participate in the construction of the domestic new energy vehicle industry chain, the city's balance has shifted towards Jinggao.
A series of capitals and large companies began to reach agreements with Jinggao, but the problem was that Fosun did not get the "expected" benefits.
Fosun wants a debt purchase quota of US$40 million and a % return on investment.
But Fosun was ignored at the meeting two nights ago. As the local boss of Shenghai, a multinational enterprise and a big capital, Fosun was ignored by Jinggao, which was something they could not tolerate.
"Secretary Qin, do you think Shanghai Pudong Development Bank and SAIC Motor will accept Jing Gao's opinion and change the person in charge of the negotiations?"
Deputy Secretary General Qin said with his hands behind his back, smiling: "Boss Guo, don't you have the answer in your mind?"
Guo Guangchang couldn't help laughing, his bald head shining a little in the afternoon sun. It was obvious that Shanghai Pudong Development Bank and SAIC Group also wanted to make money. A $5 million investment, a 30% return rate a year, would be a profit of 1 million yuan. How could a vice president be so busy to lick Jing Gao's clothes?
"But the career prospects of these two people may not be affected." Guo Guangchang said with emotion.
Deputy Secretary-General Qin walked to the far end of the lawn and said lightly: "Mr. Guo, that may not be the case." The competition among deputy general managers in state-owned enterprises is also very fierce.
This change of leadership at the last minute has dealt a heavy blow to the career prospects of the two. Considering their age, it is likely that Xu Boyuan, vice president of SAIC Group, and Hu Quankun, vice president of Shanghai Pudong Development Bank, will not be able to make any progress and will go straight downhill. It is definitely not as easy as Guo Guangchang says now.
Guo Guangchang knew what was going on, and he exchanged glances with his friend Wang Qunbin, with the corners of his mouth raised. Wang Qunbin had witnessed with his own eyes that Yao Shengming, Jinggao's top henchman, had mocked Deputy Secretary-General Qin at the end of the meeting the night before, "Why were you so arrogant at first and so respectful later?", so he needed to confirm Deputy Secretary-General Qin's thoughts.
Holding the expensive golf club, he caught up with Deputy Secretary-General Qin and said, "Secretary-General Qin, Jing Gao excluded Fosun from the debt restructuring plan this time. We at Fosun are very dissatisfied.
If Fosun doesn’t participate in the debt restructuring of Shenghai’s local large enterprises, who else is qualified to participate? However, our relationship with Jing Gao is a bit strained. If we go to talk to him now, I don’t know if it will work. I would like to ask the Secretary-General to give me some advice. "
Fosun has never intended to go all out, so under the current situation, since Jinggao is going to invest $60 billion to enter the new energy vehicle industry and obtain the city's approval, why should Fosun go against the trend?
Take the benefits first. The road ahead is long, but we will meet again someday. This is the thinking of a rational economic man and pure capital. Deputy Secretary-General Qin was in a golfing posture, ready to swing. Knowing that Guo Guangchang was not really seeking advice, how could such a big boss not be able to handle a $50 million investment? The bigwigs in the business world basically know each other. If you don't know each other and are not in the same circle, it means you don't have enough money!
Generally speaking, these top entrepreneurs and big bosses have many occasions to meet, such as the Yabuli Forum, the Boao Economic Forum, the G20 Economic Forum, the annual meeting of the China Federation of Foreign Trade Industries, various activities organized by the government, and various chamber of commerce activities in the province.
Every year there are plenty of opportunities to meet, chat and promote business. So if Guo Guangchang wants to communicate with Jing Gao, there are plenty of opportunities and middlemen.
But when dealing with people, there should always be give and take, so that the relationship can gradually warm up and develop.
"Mr. Guo can just say hello to Bo Xujie who is already in the hospital. I believe he is still rational and not as arrogant as Jing Gao!"
Guo Guangchang smiled slightly, and their respective attitudes were all self-evident. "Okay."
...
...
Beijing.
At around nine o'clock in the morning, Wang Xin took a car to Meituan's headquarters building to work as usual. However, when he arrived at the office, the first message he received from his secretary gave him a headache.
"Mr. Wang, Pinduoduo has issued an announcement that Phoenix Fund has increased its stake in Pinduoduo Group to 8.02% through secondary market share increase and agreement transfer. After friendly negotiations between the two teams, Phoenix Fund has given up its board seat and related nomination rights."
Phoenix Fund was the "toy" that Jing Gao used when he personally presided over the venture capital industry in the past two years. The core business of Phoenix Group: taxi business, is also operated through Phoenix Fund.
"Call Huiwen and Andy, let's have a small meeting."
The secretary hurried out to notify.
Wang Xin impatiently pressed his phone on the desk, looking at the Beijing street scene outside the floor-to-ceiling window and loosening the buttons of his collar.
Need I say what Pinduoduo’s announcement early in the morning means? This means that Pinduoduo has compromised with Jinggao and the talks are over.
What a fucking genius!
Fosun refused to step forward, and Pinduoduo, which stepped forward, had already been dealt with. Currently, only Alibaba and Meituan are still opposed to Jing Gao's leading the debt restructuring plan of Mingyuan Group. He has a very bad premonition that Meituan may encounter the "ruthless hand" of Jing Gao.
There is no news at all now, the biting dog doesn't bark!
