Chapter 216 How dare you steal my lines!

It doesn’t matter what Xie Jingxing wants to do, what matters is what the leader thinks he wants to do.

Since you feel that having a good family background is not enough, and you must contribute to the most basic people's livelihood economy in agriculture, logistics, and the Internet, then it is not impossible to make an exception and make Yunshan Group a state-owned enterprise.

This would be the best ending, and other endings have been demonstrated by others.

"Yunhe Logistics is a logistics company, and its purity and simplicity need to be guaranteed!" Old Xie added another stern word.

Xie Jingxing lowered his head and admitted his mistake: "Community group buying will be transferred to 'New Big Hungry', and the fresh food logistics supermarket will be directly established as a subsidiary by the group. Yunhe Logistics will focus on the logistics industry and will not get involved in other fields."

"Capital expansion is irrational and wants everything. If you are in the game, you will inevitably be assimilated, which is not a good thing. Wear pants that fit your butt. If you insist on wearing a size larger, you will not be able to keep out the wind."

Old Xie slowed down his tone and complained: "I told you a long time ago not to study finance, but you didn't listen. When I returned to China last year, you suggested that I expand the scale of Yunhe Logistics and use leverage dozens of times... Do you think you are so smart? What you can do, your father can't?"

"No."

Xie Jingxing blurted out without thinking, he did not believe in ghosts and gods and did not worship heroes, because since childhood, Old Xie's back has always occupied his entire sight.

After dinner was ready at home, he watched Lao Xie hurried back to the company for a meeting; after the school anniversary meeting ended, he watched Lao Xie leave the podium directly and rush to the next event; when waiting at the airport to study abroad, he watched Lao Xie board the business flight first.

For decades in his past and present lives, he has always been chasing the figure in his sight, chasing it desperately.

To this day, many people say that Mr. Xie is better than his predecessor, but that's just what others say.

"Bring me a chair."

Old Xie half-reclines on the folding chair comfortably, and glares: "Who told you to stand up? Kneel down. Go back and reflect on your official business. Now let's talk about personal matters. Come with me back to Beijing to Lanlan's home in the afternoon."

"Huh?" Xie Jingxing was confused.

Old Xie raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "We haven't seen each other for many years. Why don't you come to visit and have a chat?"

"it is good."

As one crisis after another came, Xie Jingxing was completely numb.

If Zhang Tao is assimilated by capital and learns not to bow his head, then he is being assimilated by capital and becoming more and more greedy.

But on the other hand, it is also a fact that Xie Kai reported to Old Xie over the head and the person in charge of the transportation of military logistics supplies had reservations about him.

After working hard for half a year to integrate internal management, the results were unsatisfactory, and Mr. Xie taught me a hard lesson.

Xie Jingxing felt quite frustrated. At this time, he mentioned the tangled personal emotional issues. Whatever love is, I'm tired. Let's destroy it.

"Who are you giving the cold shoulder to? Don't you realize the bad things you've done?" Old Xie felt furious when he saw him acting badly.

Xie Jing Xing blushed and raised his voice unconsciously: "If you have something to say, just say it directly. I am in my twenties after all. What else do you want from me kneeling down for you outside?"

"I really spoil you too much!"

Old Xie jumped up from the chair. His slightly plump body was very agile. He picked up the iron hook of the barbecue grill and swung it high in the air.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xie Jingxing rolled and crawled and ran away, not forgetting to cover his face with his arms.

The father and son ran hundreds of meters in a blink of an eye and were kindly stopped by several young men and women who were camping outdoors at a nearby tent.

"Uncle, what era is this? How can you hit someone?"

One of the pretty girls taught him crisply, "Besides, your son doesn't look that old, and his equestrian skills are almost as good as those of professional athletes. If I had a brother like him, my parents would definitely be very proud."

"I'm feudal? I'm feudal and sent him abroad to study, but after graduation he didn't do anything serious and messed around all day, developing all the bad habits of a capitalist?"

Old Xie grabbed the stove hook and yelled, "Fuck that entrepreneur!" Today he was just an ordinary father who wanted to teach his rebellious son a lesson.

Another girl, who was wearing a full set of Arc'teryx and an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak sports watch on her wrist, rolled her eyes disdainfully: "To put it bluntly, you just treat your children as an investment, and now you feel that your children don't do what you want them to do, and you are not satisfied that you can't get back your investment."

"I've seen a lot of parents like you. Studying abroad doesn't cost much. At worst, I can give it all back to you."

She tilted her head to look at Xie Jingxing who was hiding behind her: "Brother, I just graduated and came back from abroad, and I want to start a business next. You can come to work in my company and do whatever you want. I will support you... I will pay you a salary."

"Tell me how much money he spent on you, and I will compensate you on his behalf!" The beautiful girl took over the conversation and questioned without giving in.

Old Xie was overwhelmed by the two little girls. He almost laughed out loud when he saw Xie Jingxing hiding behind them with half of his head tucked in, pretending to be a good kid and making provocative looks at him.

"Why are you supporting him? His wife is already pregnant and you're the one who needs to support her!"

A bolt from the blue echoed in the wilderness, and the two little girls looked in disbelief at the little brother whom they protected with all their love.

He can ride a horse, has good taste in clothes, is handsome and has a great body. How could such a high-quality athletic treasure boy be so reluctant to get married at a young age? This can't be true, it must not be true.

"Um, sorry, it's a misunderstanding. It's a misunderstanding. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry."

Xie Jingxing was dumbfounded and incoherent, while he bowed and apologized to the two little girls, and ran after Old Xie.

He was not careful and stepped into a dark puddle and fell, then he got up and limped away, running faster and faster, looking even more embarrassed than when he was being chased just now.

"Turns out he's a scumbag."

The two little girls' lost words flew away in pieces in the wind.

…………

In the capital, it is noon.

A middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes sat by the floor-to-ceiling window facing the street on the second floor of the cafe, feeling the warmth of the midday sun and staring at the people coming in and out downstairs in a daze.

"Think about it carefully. Xie Jingxing is sincere. No one does business to make enemies. There is really no need to compete." Shen Nanpeng kept talking.

Wang Xing said calmly: "He is very good at picking the right time."

"He lacks nothing, not only timing, but also money, resources and capabilities. To be honest, if he started a business, I would be the first one to invest with my eyes closed." Shen Nanpeng counted on his fingers, indicating that he deeply agreed.

When Didi acquired Kuaidi, Uber had just entered the Chinese market, the policy direction was unclear, and all parties in the market were tired and uneasy. As a result, Didi gained half a year of precious time to recuperate.

The same is true for Dianping's acquisition of Ele.me. Currently, all parties have invested a total of more than 2 billion yuan in subsidies for the food delivery business, and the entire market has reached a temporary peak.

Based on the 100% conversion rate of money-burning users six months ago, the current conversion rate is only 50%, or even lower.

It can be predicted that in the next six months or longer, burning money to fight for the market will have little effect, and all parties will have to turn from the outside to the inside, sort out their own distribution systems, improve operating efficiency and reduce costs.

As for the group buying business, the online travel industry has fought hard to determine the winner, with several leading platforms either merging or being acquired.

Baidu Nuomi imitated Dianping to fully enter the second- and third-tier markets, dismantling Meituan's "choose one of two merchants" gameplay. If we don't want to fight a meaningless and messy battle, the local life field will obviously enter a truce period, which is very beneficial to Xie Jingxing.

He could just focus on the integration and wait until the opportunity arises next year before launching a money-burning war.

At this point, Shen Nanpeng cannot judge who will be the final winner. Pushing Meituan to raise funds and introducing Taihe Capital is a bottom-line operation, and there will be profits in the future no matter what.

But Wang Xing is not Zhang Tao. Faced with pressure from powerful capital, he would rather fight for his life without leaving any way out.

"Mr. Shen, can you help me arrange a meeting with someone from Tencent?" He gave the final answer.

Shen Nanpeng was speechless for a moment. How should he respond? Tencent intends to expand overseas and enter the Southeast Asian market in the near future for mobile payments; or is it that Xie Jingxing has made Pony Ma crazy by selling his skills?
"You're right. Xie Jingxing is very competitive, but we at Meituan are not weak either. If Tencent invests in us, it will be invincible in the entire local offline mobile payment market no matter how it fights."

Wang Xing took off his glasses and continued to talk: "No matter how overbearing Xie Jingxing is, there is no reason for him to stop Tencent's strategic investment. Moreover, if we completely turn to Alibaba, there will be no end to the market competition."

"He asked you to be the middleman to acquire our shares because he didn't want to see this happen, right?"

Shen Nanpeng understood that Wang Xing was still trying to show off. Even if there was a merger with "New Big Hungry" one day, Xie Jingxing would never be the one in charge.

In addition, Tencent invested in Alibaba to hedge against external competitors, and Meituan has successfully imitated Didi to some extent.

It's a good move, but the key is that Alibaba doesn't agree. If they agree, why would they go through so much trouble? Shen Nanpeng fell into deep thought.

"Everything depends on human efforts. I have made an appointment to meet with Alibaba's CEO Cai and try my best to get his consent." Wang Xing's words were pale and powerless.

This is normal. It is strange that Xie Jingxing is a monster who always prepares for everything. I really don’t know if this is the case when he won the WhatsApp acquisition case in his first battle after his debut.

Shen Nanpeng was silent for a moment and then said, "Don't stay in China. Go to Hong Kong Island next Monday. Liu Chih-ping happens to be having a meeting there."

"Thank you, Mr. Shen." Wang Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

The fact that Shen Nanpeng was able to track Liu Chih-ping's schedule proves that he is not actually as pessimistic as he appears to be. He is willing to try to bring in Tencent.

But why was it specifically set in Hong Kong Island? For the sake of confidentiality, it is understandable for major business negotiations.

"There's something wrong with Xie Jingxing. Both Ma and Li have hinted that this person has a background, but no one knows what his background is. It's a bit weird."

Shen Nanpeng carefully reminded him, "Peng Zhijian is going to resign, Lao Wang, I sincerely advise you not to fight him to the end."

"You mean he knows we've communicated before?" Wang Xing's face changed slightly.

Shen Nanpeng shook his head and said nothing. He only believed half of Xie Jingxing's statement that it was all based on speculation, and the other half was out of trust in Tencent, Alibaba and Liu Chuanzhi.

This guy has been focusing on life-and-death battles since his debut. If it were someone else, offending people would be the least of his problems. But how could he be so counterintuitive and get along with everyone and be good friends with everyone?

The well-known biggest enemy is actually Wang Jianlin’s good-for-nothing son.

You have to know that taking the example of Liu Qing drawing the sword against her biological father, Old Liu and his daughter had a quarrel for a long time and they always had the cold face when they met in private.

Therefore, even if Xie Jingxing claimed to be the illegitimate son of Qin Shihuang, Shen Nanpeng was willing to listen seriously. The reason why Dianping's acquisition of Ele.me was easily completed was that all parties provided a degree of cooperation that far exceeded the benefits required.

"Whether we fight to the end depends on the market. We compete fairly and openly. I will accept any result." Wang Xing accepted it calmly without being moved.

Shen Nanpeng said: "It's a deal. No matter how the new round of financing goes, we will take a half-year break to sort out the internal affairs and avoid any messy battles."

"No problem. Next, we will mainly compete with Baidu. I am not willing to give Li Yanhong the second place in the group buying market share. If Xie Jingxing wants it, it's up to him."

Wang Xing left after leaving his last words. Passing through the cafe hall, many entrepreneurs paid him respects and saluted him. Shen Nanpeng couldn't help but reveal a bit of regret.

…………

Capital, western suburbs.

In the backyard of a small single-family villa, two old men were turning the soil with pickaxes and shovels, planting vegetable seeds in the garden.

Zhou Fenglan lay on the second-floor balcony with her hands on her chin, looking longing, as if her favorite chili peppers and purple eggplants would grow in the yard in the next second.

There was a faint smell of cooking fumes coming from the kitchen. She wrinkled her nose and looked over. The guy, who was so young that she was still a kid, was chatting and laughing with his mother, while his hands were skillfully cutting potatoes into shreds.

"Miss Zhou, the sunset is beautiful right now. Do you want to go for a walk?" The young girl, who was wearing light-colored clothes and no jewelry, suggested softly.

Zhou Fenglan retracted his gaze and looked at her. She was over 1.7 meters tall and was wearing flat shoes. She had regular facial features, fair skin, and short hair that reached her neck. She had a heroic air and a bright and elegant beauty.

It seems that all the nurses in 301 are like this, with a clean family background, a good image and strong professional qualities. She was temporarily transferred here without knowing the details and has been taking care of her for several days without any mistakes. She is a smart girl who can serve others.

The nurse felt the gaze and asked quickly, "Ms. Zhou, what's wrong with you? I'll call the health doctor."

"No, you can go back." Zhou Fenglan said lightly, blinking her big eyes.

The young nurse was visibly nervous, and she was at a loss, clenching her hands: "Miss Zhou, what did I do wrong? You criticize me, I..."

"I mean, you should take a rest today and come back tomorrow." Zhou Fenglan glanced at the kitchen and interrupted.

The young nurse left as if she understood something. Before she came, the political commissar of her unit had done an emergency round of mobilization for her, asking her to do more, watch less, ask less, and take good care of the pregnant woman's emotions.

Zhou Fenglan slapped her forehead in distress. In fact, she shouldn't have let the young nurse leave directly. If someone with ulterior motives found out, they might transfer the young nurse away, which would affect her future.

It's not for any other reason, just out of concern that they will become emotionally unstable and no longer be able to perform their service jobs.

“I want to eat strawberries.”

Zhou Fenglan yelled at the top of her voice in anger, it was all Xie Jingxing's fault, if he hadn't been flirting with other girls everywhere, how could she not tolerate even the young nurse.

"Why so slow?"

When the fresh strawberries with water droplets hanging on them were brought to her, she didn't want to eat them anymore. Xie Jingxing grinned and laughed dryly, hesitating and not knowing what to say.

He talked to the doctor on the way here, and the doctor said that the morning sickness period would be six weeks later. Zhou Fenglan simply wanted to torment him.

The criminals brutally held his child hostage, and he could only swallow his anger for ten months. Xie Jingxing comforted himself by nodding and bowing like the last eunuch in China.

"Are you mute? Speak. Aren't you quite eloquent? Use all the skills you have at the negotiation table." Zhou Fenglan nodded his chin and commanded.

Xie Jingxing was guilty and whispered softly, "That's enough, don't push it any further. If you don't stop, I won't live anymore and will die in front of you."

"Damn it, how dare you steal my line!"

Zhou Fenglan's eyes widened and his mouth opened in shock.
