Chapter 1573 Epilogue
Fosun’s executive director Wang Qunbin is the co-founder of Fosun and one of the five founders. He has always held a high position of power within the Fosun Group.
When he came out of the Mingyuan Group headquarters building and took a car back to Fosun's headquarters across the Huangpu River, he called Fosun's chairman Guo Guangchang to explain the situation.
Guo Guangchang postponed many schedules in the past two days and waited for the result of Mingyuan Group in Shanghai. His old friend Zhou Mingyang asked him for help, and he did go to Jing Gao to plead for mercy, but Jing Gao was young and hot-tempered and did not agree to reconciliation at all, and also rejected the "mediation" arranged by Director Guan himself.
Even when Zhou Mingyang admitted defeat and was willing to hand over Mingyuan Group, he still refused to give in.
It can be said to be extremely arrogant.
If God wants to destroy a person, he must first make him crazy. This is the tendency of Jing Gao right now, he seems to be going crazy!
Do this and that, press this and that, how many resources do you have to consume?
I would like to ask, in the past two days, he has been struggling with various investors and trying to persuade them. Is there any difference between the final result and Zhou Mingyang's proposal a few days ago? Even Jing Gao got less. After all, he had to share nearly $2 million in profits.
In addition, considering that Jing Gao had offended Director Guan, would he have gained more by forgiving Zhou Mingyang at that time, or would it be a better option to act recklessly now?
So, is anger a good or bad emotion for the head of a business empire?
"Old Wang, what do you think?"
Wang Qunbin said: "Compared to Shen Nanpeng, Xiong Xiaoge and other venture capitalists, we will not keep the trouble we are causing him a secret. Rather than passively watching him swallow up Mingyuan Group's high-quality assets, it is better to create some trouble for him and gain some benefits for our Fosun Group.
We can also get the 40% profit plan of 25 million US dollars. But if we don’t make an effort, it will be difficult to get it. Even New Hope and Tencent are only willing to give %. "
Guo Guangchang thought about it and said, "Old Wang, let's do as you wish. You are responsible!"
Wang Qunbin smiled and said, "Okay, I'll contact Alibaba and Pinduoduo right away. Don't worry, I'll quit while I'm ahead. With Fosun's influence in Shanghai, it would be a joke if we can't even get a 40% return."
Guo Guangchang smiled and hung up the phone. Looking at the river view outside the Fosun headquarters building, cruise ships shuttled across the river in the night, and the lights were twinkling, giving a feeling of being as bright as flowers, making people deeply feel the wealth and charm of the Magic City.
He felt that Jinggao was not suitable here.
People who like to stir up trouble are not welcome anywhere.
...
...
Liu Chang was also on the phone after leaving Mingyuan Group headquarters. She was sitting in her executive Mercedes-Benz, with her trusted assistant in the passenger seat and the driver who had been with her family for many years. So she had no reservations about making the phone call.
"Dad, seeing the atmosphere in the conference room, I didn't dare to give my phone to Jing Gao. I proposed a 25% annual rate of return myself. I didn't expect that he would accept it in the end." Liu Chang leaned slightly on the sofa in the back seat of the car and said with a little emotion.
The atmosphere in the conference room at night was indeed like a high-end business war! Chen Lei of Pinduoduo threw a teacup, and Alibaba's prince Jiang Fan and Jinggao's top horse Yao Shengming cursed at each other passionately, shouting "Mom" a lot. SAIC and Pudong Development Bank were embarrassed and confronted each other.
Even Deputy Secretary-General Qin had to bow his head, and Yao Shengming mocked him in public, "Why are you so arrogant at first and so respectful now?" Deputy Secretary-General Qin's face was trampled on the ground. This word would probably spread throughout the city immediately.
She really didn't dare to get involved in this kind of fierce struggle. Originally, New Hope just wanted to get some benefits.
Liu Yonghao was very calm. He was actually waiting to go to bed, waiting for his daughter to call. He smiled and said, "Xiao Chang, you were right not to hand the phone to Jing Gao. It is indeed not appropriate for me to talk to him in this situation. Even a small talk would be understood as pressure and an attempt to make an enemy. But you didn't handle it well either. You shouldn't have raised the price."
Liu Chang said in confusion: "Dad, if I don't take the opportunity to raise the price, should I give in and only ask for the previous 20% annual rate of return? If so, it would be a slap in my own face and make me look incompetent. And Jing Gao may not appreciate my kindness!"
Liu Yonghao smiled and said, "Xiao Chang, you asked for 25%. He must have agreed after careful consideration. If you put people's hearts on the scale, then next time you are in a situation, Jing Gao will also give you a difficult question to weigh."
Who doesn't have a temper when doing business? They just keep it in check. After all, the power of capital is not the decisive force. Instead, we should follow the philosophy in the Tao Te Ching: The highest good is like water!
He did so. That’s why he still stands tall in China’s business community for so many years. Many of his contemporaries have fallen.
Liu Chang was a little silent after hearing what was said.
Jing Gao is well-known for his pettiness. Zhou Mingyang is a living example. It is said that the two started their feud when Zhou Mingyang sent his brother-in-law Peng Xin to Hong Kong Island to secretly short Jing Gao's Uber. This triggered a series of confrontations.
Furthermore, there is a real example in front of us tonight. Just because Jing Gao was criticized by people from Pinduoduo, SAIC, and Pudong Development Bank in the afternoon meeting, he wanted to directly criticize them tonight! And he was not afraid to spend money to do so.
In a sense, Jing Gao is not a rational economic man. He does not necessarily think about problems from the perspective of interests, but rather handles things based on his own emotions.
It seems that he is a bit willful! He is just wanton and lives happily.
Liu Yonghao taught: "Xiao Chang, I'm not saying that you shouldn't fight for your interests. But in a situation like tonight, you should use my name to say that we at New Hope strongly support Mr. Jing, and it's up to you to decide how much to take. Even if you take 20%, there is still a sense of friendship, and if we meet again in business, we can deepen our cooperation."
Liu Chang said in awe: "Okay, Dad. I'm still too young. Then this matter..."
No matter what, she had planted a thorn in Jing Gao's heart tonight. This matter had to be resolved. Otherwise, she would also be faced with problems caused by Jing Gao later.
Liu Yonghao smiled and said, "I'll find a chance to explain it to him in person. Given the size of New Hope, he won't reject our apology. This is also an opportunity to deepen our relationship with him."
Liu Chang was speechless for a moment.
Are all true business masters like her father, able to turn crises into opportunities?
...
...
On the way back, Jing Gao separated from the head coach and the assistant, and sat in a comfortable black business car to Gu Xixi's residence: 2A, Building 18, Taihe Compound.
Jing Gao had sent a message before he came. As soon as he arrived at the door, without even ringing the doorbell, the slender and bright little princess Xixi had already opened the door and let Jing Gao and Zhang Li in. She gave them a warm kiss, cloves lingering around them, and said emotionally: "Brother Jing, have you dealt with the affairs of Mingyuan Group? I've been waiting for you all night!"
After her mother agreed to her relationship with Brother Jing, she called Brother Jing and arranged to meet him in the evening. She had been waiting for almost three hours! The moment she saw Brother Jing, she could no longer suppress her affection.
