Chapter 1555 The situation is not good
The 52nd floor of the Mingyuan Group's headquarters building is Zhou Mingyang's office floor. All facilities are for his use alone. It has offices, conference rooms, restaurants, etc. It is like a small club that can entertain VIPs.
It was around 4pm, and the luxurious, spacious conference room was as busy as a vegetable market. Zheng Wanyi, her daughter Gu Xixi, Zhang Li, and Dugu Jing were in the conference room watching the lively scene.
It feels a bit like watching a plain and simple high-end business war.
At this time, the one who took the lead in slamming the table and cursing was Alibaba's prince Jiang Fan. Alibaba and Phoenix had fallen out a long time ago. After the initial confrontation, the second-in-command, Cai Congxin, had to retire early and return to America to buy a basketball team to play.
Of course, now that the relationship between the two parties is so bad, there is no need to abide by some gentleman's agreements. As a newly promoted partner of Alibaba, Jiang Fan is quite clear that Caishen is already involved in Alibaba's work.
Of course, Mr. Ma has made it clear that he will retire on Teachers’ Day in a few months. It has been confirmed internally that Xiaoyaozi will take over.
He is the person who will take charge of Alibaba ten years later.
So at this moment, when facing Ali's enemies, he must have the courage to show his sword to the whole group.
Moreover, Ali and Mingyuan Group are different. Ali is a star enterprise in Hangzhou, and it is not afraid that Jing Gao will use tricks like he did now to send Zhou Mingyang to jail. However, Mr. Ma, Cai Shen and others have dealings with international capital, so there is no situation where the capital chain is broken due to lack of money.
Why should he be afraid of Haizhouke? Although this Haizhouke became famous in Shenghai Beach after Zhou Mingyang was arrested yesterday afternoon.
Jing Gaoyi sat leisurely in the comfortable boss chair, drinking health tea from a thermos cup without any expression.
Yao Shengming, the "head horse" sitting next to Jing Gao, shared the main concern and threw the copy of the contract in his hand across the oval conference table. "Look carefully, this is Zhou Mingyang's autograph, clearly selling the shipping business and financial business to us."
The assignee in the contract is certainly not Phoenix Group, but an entity registered in Hong Kong Island not long ago: Tianjiao Capital.
Cheng Fangyi brought over two copies of the contract signed by Zhou Mingyang. Now Bo Xujie had one copy, and Jing Gao had another.
What Yao Shengming threw over was a photocopy.
Wang Huiwen, the second-in-command of Meituan, couldn't stand Yao Shengming's arrogance, so he chimed in: "Boss Jing, the debt crisis of Mingyuan Group is being solved by the city government. We just had a meeting last night.
Now, you want to eat alone, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right? A mere contract doesn't explain much. Now there are so many of us here, and the city government's () is here today. I think you should explain it. "
The relationship between Meituan and Phoenix Group is also very bad. It’s funny to say that it was caused by a very small thing. At that time, Jing Gao, a guest from Haizhou, was still interested in venture capital, and Phoenix Fund was well-known in the domestic investment community.
But because Lao Wang rejected Jinggao's investment, Jinggao launched Xiangcheng Takeaway and, based on the acquisition of Baidu Takeaway, launched a new round of money-burning war in the takeaway field, which put great pressure on the Meituan team.
They were pushed to the edge of the cliff several times, and they barely managed to catch their breath. Fortunately, they managed to survive with the support of various investors.
In the Internet world, there are many people who cannot stand the Phoenix Group's overbearing behavior.
The result of the competition between the two companies is also very dramatic. Now Meituan and Xiangcheng occupy the top two market shares respectively, and the third place, Ele.me, which belongs to Alibaba, is already half dead and has been innocently affected by the competition.
Although Meituan and Alibaba also have a bad relationship, the eight years of love and hatred can be written into a novel. But at this time, he is supporting Meituan based on the interests of the group.
Mingyuan Group has such a huge asset pool, many of which are high-quality assets. Since he was invited to the table, how could he be eliminated by Jing Gaoqing like this?
...
The representative of the municipal government was not the deputy who presided over the meeting last night, but the deputy secretary-general. He smiled amiably and said, "Mr. Jing, you see... everyone has a lot of opinions." Jing Gao glanced at the four venture capitalists sitting diagonally across from him: Shen Nanpeng of Sequoia China, Zhang Lei of Hillhouse Capital, Xiong Xiaoge of IDG, and Xu Xin of Today Capital.
Only Shen Nanpeng knew something about this. After all, Cheng Fangyi had claimed that the funds were from Shen Nanpeng. Although Zhou Mingyang did not verify it in the end, he still had to make the necessary arrangements. This arrangement was made by Yin Jian, the head of Phoenix Fund, to Shen Nanpeng.
Jing Gao's eyes did not stop, and he glanced at Liu Chang, the vice president of New Hope Group, who called him last night and wanted to meet him, Ren Yuxin, the chief operating officer of Tencent, who was willing to cooperate, and the representatives of Pinduoduo, Xiaomi, NetEase Fosun, and SAIC. He looked around and said to the city government representative, "
Secretary General Qin, I have talked with President Bo. Mingyuan Group is currently facing a debt crisis. The sooner it is resolved, the better. The initial debt estimate is around US$5 million, and the subsequent amount is unknown. We, Phoenix Group, are willing to take the lead in taking this risk.
Mingyuan Group has been involved in some turmoil in the past month, but after all these years of accumulation, it is still an excellent company.
Mingyuan Group is willing to use its equity as collateral in exchange for funds for survival and development. We, Phoenix Group, are willing to provide this capital. Of course, you all should not come to the meeting in vain. I am willing to take out a share of US$2.5 million and sell it at an annual rate of return of 40%. Everyone present is welcome to participate. "
Jiang Fan laughed, drank his tea, and said unhappily, "Boss Jing, isn't this called eating alone? Mingyuan Group has a total of more than 4 billion in assets. How much of their shares will your 5 million US dollars account for?"
Hu, the vice president of Pudong Development Bank, tapped the notebook in front of him with a gel pen and said with a smile: "According to convention, the original shareholders' share must be reduced to less than 1%. In other words, Mr. Jing, who does not want to eat alone, is about to acquire Mingyuan Group for US$5 million."
Pufa Bank is a state-owned enterprise. Even though Mr. Jing is well-known on the beach, how much does it have to do with them?
If Mr. Jing dares to take action against state-owned assets, I will admire you as a man.
Haha, this is outrageous!
Xu Boyuan, the vice president of SAIC who was attending the meeting, also smiled and said, "Mr. Jing, although none of us are as wealthy as you, each of us has handled billions or even tens of billions of dollars. You taking out $1 million to share the profits is a bit like playing house.
We came all the way to Mingyuan Group not to hear such a proposal."
SAIC is a local state-owned enterprise in Shanghai, a major taxpayer, and a leader in domestic fuel vehicles. There is no one to be afraid of in Shanghai. Private entrepreneurs like Mr. Jing may have a big business, but in his eyes, it is just that.
A bunch of executives from large companies laughed in unison. This is true.
Chen Lei, Pinduoduo's chief technology officer and co-founder, smiled and said, "Mr. Jing, we all understand that you want to swallow up Mingyuan Group's assets. But this matter cannot be settled just because you and Bo Xujie have discussed it.
For such a big matter, I request a board vote. In addition, I request that Chairman Zhou Mingyang's decision to sell the ocean-going and financial businesses be revoked in accordance with legal procedures."
Bo Xujie frowned, "Isn't this necessary?"
Jiang Feng, the vice president in charge of financing, suddenly turned the tables and said, "I agree with Mr. Chen's opinion."
Bo Xujie's expression changed drastically, and he said to the vice president beside him: "Old Jiang..."
"Pfft." Many people in the conference room laughed. Participating in the meeting were not only the representatives sitting at the conference table, but also the entourage they brought with them.
Secretary Qin looked at Jing Gao and said, "Mr. Jing, it seems that you still need to respect everyone's opinions. Operate within the framework of the law!"
Zheng Wanyi, who was sitting behind Jing Gao, was playing on her phone. She didn't care about the game involving the ownership of 4 billion assets. It was none of her business. What did more money have to do with her? She just came to see her daughter Xixi and relax.
But her inner feelings were still towards Xixi's boss, and she felt a little upset. Was this the final word?
It seems that the situation in Jinggao is not good.
