Chapter 1647 Lounge
This year’s Children’s Day is on Saturday, so Monday will be June 3rd.
Just after ten o'clock in the morning, Jing Gao, accompanied by his beautiful assistants Guan Yujia, Zhang Li, Gu Xixi, Zheng Xiaobing, Feng Wan, Wen Xiaoli, and Chu Wenjun, the accompanying Zhongrun Company's legal team, as well as the "top man" Yao Shengming, his lover Jiang Jingxiang, and Mingyuan Group's executives Zhou Mingxu and Jiang Feng arrived at the building in Shenghai City.
Mingyuan Group's CEO Bo Xujie is still in the hospital for recuperation and did not appear on today's occasion.
A dozen people were led by the staff to a meeting room on the third floor to wait. They would have a meeting with the people above, so Jing Gao would definitely not be able to bring so many beautiful assistants to the meeting. He only brought Zhang Li who participated in the whole process.
Representatives from JD.com, Baidu, and Douyin have already arrived. They all stood up and greeted Jing Gao, "Hello, Mr. Jing."
Jing Gao was not in a hurry to sit down, but smiled and shook hands with them, saying hello. He had a good relationship with the bosses of these three companies.
A moment later, representatives from various large companies participating in today's meeting arrived one after another.
"Mr. Jing, congratulations! Mingyuan Group has officially acquired assets worth more than 400 billion yuan." Fosun's executive director Wang Qunbin took the initiative to come over and shake hands with Jing Gao, his words full of envy.
Jing Gao remained calm and said with a smile, "Mr. Wang, you're welcome."
Fosun used its network of contacts to ask Bo Xujie to convey the message that it wanted to obtain a debt line of US$5 million and required a rate of return of 40%.
This is just hilarious.
After discussing with Bo Xujie, Yao Shengming and Zhang Li, he quoted a 10% rate of return, which was a humiliation to Fosun for overestimating its capabilities and having no shame.
Do you really think he is completely unaware of the "role" Fosun played in this debt restructuring process?
However, Fosun actually accepted this humiliating suggestion and acted as if it was absolutely rational in making money, so it appeared in this conference room today.
This ability to swallow one's pride made him feel ashamed.
It's one thing to think about, but of course you have to put in some surface effort.
After shaking hands with Jing Gao, Wang Qunbin did not leave, but stood aside and chatted: "Mr. Jing, aren't you going to hold a celebratory banquet these two days? I'd be happy to attend on behalf of Fosun."
As the second-in-command of Fosun, he was of course clear about Fosun's subsequent operations. He was just showing weakness to the enemy and didn't want to alert him.
This is also a tactic Jinggao often uses: getting close to the enemy.
Jing Gao didn't know what Wang Qunbin and his gang were doing or thinking, so he replied, "We don't have any such plans at the moment. If we do, I will definitely send you an invitation, Mr. Wang."
He "swallowed" Mingyuan Group in Shanghai, and gained a lot, but also had many opponents. So it is suitable for him to make a fortune quietly and not to show off.
Otherwise, it will easily cause resentment from those who were originally neutral, and the loss will outweigh the gain.
The venture capital giants who came together, Shen Nanpeng from Sequoia Capital and Xiong Xiaoge from IDG, saw that Jing Gao had arrived, and came over with smiles on their faces to greet him and said:
"Boss Jing, I heard that Phoenix Film is going to reform internally and prepare to return to its peak. If there are any good projects, please inform us."
By 2019, venture capital is no longer an easy job. What remains are tough nuts to crack, all of which are capital-intensive and technology-intensive industries. No one knows whether the horses in these tracks can succeed. It is far less comfortable than the years when mobile Internet exploded.
Zhang Lei of Hillhouse Capital even invested in Gree's stocks. Sequoia Capital has invested a considerable amount of funds in the film and television industry.
The production process of Phoenix Pictures is very professional, the team is also professional, and the TV series and movies it produces have a good reputation. In addition, it has a strong background to support the producers in the company, so there are fewer messy things such as increasing traffic and bringing in funds. Therefore, they are still very happy to invest in Phoenix Pictures' dramas.
It doesn't matter if you earn less, as long as there is profit, it's a good thing.
Jing Gao took the thermos cup handed over by Gu Xixi, who was wearing a white dress and had a flawless face. Inside was his Chinese medicine health tea. When he reached middle age, he had no choice but to soak wolfberries in the thermos cup. But his health tea was not a common recipe like wolfberry and jujube tea, but a special recipe prescribed for him by a national Chinese medicine expert in Jinling.
Jing Gao took a sip of it with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Okay, I won't forget you guys."
An Zhiwen and Guan Yujia had already reported to him the changes at the "Taichu Meeting" the night before. Liao Rong was encouraged by An Zhiwen to manage the film and television business, and Jing Shufeng was unable to compete with the elders in the group and was "squeezed out" to manage games.
From the perspective of political strategy, An Zhiwen's move was very dangerous. It was completely like the prime minister of the empire changing the emperor's personnel appointment arrangements, with a tendency to undermine him.
But when it comes to him, of course it's not that serious. An Zhiwen can't sideline him. Although Lao An is the head of the Phoenix Group, the equity and decision-making bodies are all in his hands.
He wanted to remove Lao An from his position, so he asked the "chief secretary" Guan Yujia to send an email within the group's office system.
An Xiaoqian and Shen Jinyuan can take over as CEO at any time, and Watson, the former CEO of Galaxy Group, is also an alternative.
Even more extreme, Mingyuan Group's CEO Bo Xujie also has the experience and ability to manage the daily affairs of a super-large group. Of course, he is not confident in pushing Bo to this position, and Bo will not take it.
It would take at least three to five years for the Taichu Society to absorb the human resources of the Mingyuan Group, just like what happened to the Galaxy Group in the past.
To some extent, An Zhiwen's "instigation" of Liao Rong this time can be regarded as an attempt to guess his superiors' intentions.
He had long been dissatisfied with the downturn in the film and television business, and there was no general in charge. However, the photos of Liao Rong and her little wolf dog were spread all over the Internet, so Professor Zhao asked him to put out the fire and protect Liao Rong.
He adjusted Liao Rong's position, sent her abroad to avoid the limelight, and after many twists and turns, he finally settled on the gaming business.
Given his relationship with Professor Zhao, it was impossible for him to suggest that Liao Rong take charge of the film and television business again when the limelight had passed. He asked Jing Shufeng, who was a translator, to take charge of this business because he wanted to micro-manage it.
Jing Shufeng was able to ensure that his orders would not be distorted. In this regard, Jing Shufeng, who had worked with him, was much better than Fang Shaofan, who was good at flattering.
An Zhiwen suggested that if Liao Rong was willing, he would not be blamed in front of his old friends. Of course, he had to protect Liao Rong and prevent the same thing from happening again. This required Liao Rong to learn how to be the boss of a film and television company and not show up in the limelight.
Shen Nanpeng and Xiong Xiaoge smiled and greeted Wang Qunbin, the second-in-command of Fosun. They were all businessmen. If there was any grudge between Fosun and Mr. Jing, it was a matter between the two parties and had nothing to do with them.
As he was talking, more and more people gathered around Jing Gao, centered around him. The topic was no longer about the upcoming debt restructuring meeting, but about Pinduoduo's stock price in the past few days.
Chu Wenjun, who was standing at the door of the conference room, was wearing a standard black and white professional suit with black stockings today. She and the 37-year-old beautiful woman Wen Xiaoli were both subordinates of Zheng Xiaobing. Because she had become more familiar with Mr. Jing working with her these days, he brought them here.
The three bosses were all there, as well as Mr. Jing's two personal assistants, Zhang Li and Gu Xixi. Of course, she and Sister Lili wore professional attire to keep a low profile. If she dressed too pretty, they would not like her. This was a bit similar to her working in the system.
In fact, no matter how they dress up, they can't outshine Mr. Jing's women! In fact, they are the ones who are outshine them. Gu Xixi, the tall and beautiful beauty next to Mr. Jing, is really as beautiful as a goddess in a white dress, holy and bright, white and clear. This will outshine the whole audience. No matter whether it is a mature woman or a female secretary, no one can beat her.
Chu Wenjun, a petite and beautiful young woman of 24, looked at the men who laughed and flattered Mr. Jing from time to time, and she admired the man even more in her heart. This was just like the scenes of the bigwigs she saw when she worked in the system.
She whispered, "Sister Lili, our General Jing has conquered a group of men!"
When men start to flatter, women really have nothing to do! Therefore, strong men pursue power and make their peers bow down to them.
The 37-year-old elegant and beautiful woman Wen Xiaoli smiled slightly, covered her mouth with her hand, and said, "It's awesome, isn't it?"
Through the gaps in the crowd, she could see a corner of his handsome, slightly thin face, which suddenly aroused her admiration for him.
