Chapter 166 It’s easy to get together and part ways
Lunch ended with Xie Jingxing's final toast. In the afternoon, three regional cooperative agents returned to Magic City with him, while the others dispersed.
The Yunshan Annual Meeting has come to an end, and he will not be back during the Spring Festival.
There are a lot of things to do in Shanghai and Old Xie is busy. It has been like this for many years, with little to no reunion. It has become a habit and needs no further explanation.
However, it is worth mentioning that the father and son rarely went to the ancestral tomb together early in the morning to sweep the tomb and pay homage in recent years. Xie Jingxing went to the grave of his grandparents alone, took a few photos for his mother and said that everything was fine.
There is a time difference between China and New Zealand. He received a reply on his way back to Shanghai. His mother said that the saplings planted before were growing well, and a few new trees could be planted outside the cemetery after the spring.
He was busy preparing for the meeting and did not reply to the message. After arriving in Shanghai, he hurried to Yunhe's office to hold the last summary meeting before the New Year.
At the meeting, three regional agents took the initiative to propose adjusting the business scope of the cooperation framework to make way for new agents who would enter the market after the new year. As for the remaining regional agents who were not present, Xie Jingxing kindly helped them personally to either adjust the cooperation framework or approve the cancellation of the cooperation penalty.
The part about the partners in the hundreds of pages of materials was temporarily locked in a drawer. This was a tacit compromise between him and Lao Xie that could not be expressed out loud.
He took advantage of the father's personal guilt towards his son. He first found an absurd excuse to build a garden, but was rejected. Then he proposed to work hard to clean up Yunhe River.
Old Xie also knows how to use this trick. In public, he fully supports Vice Chairman Yunhe in eliminating dissidents and planning the company's strategic layout; in private, he takes his son to visit the grave in the morning, and is drunk by his old brothers with red eyes at noon, recounting the hardships he experienced in the early days of the company.
Their experience is no less than Didi's journey to Tibet.
Therefore, Xie Jingxing needs to understand that as long as the partners are willing, everyone should try to part ways in peace with as little bloodshed as possible.
The same applies to Yunhe's internal management team. Those who walk into his office after the meeting and voluntarily submit their resignation application will receive the bonus and benefits for that year in full, and there will be no problems with the background check on their resumes.
A small number of them tried to form gangs and leave to join competing companies. Some went to the media and lawyers to make a scene and demand large compensation. Some even joined forces with small shareholders of the branch to discuss a strike to force him to leave Yunhe.
Lin Lin prepared a test paper with the theme of "Management Ability" in various ways. Xie Jingxing, who had a headache when he was a class monitor in elementary school, raised his butcher knife without any nonsense.
The Yunshan Group headquarters audit team, together with a multi-party team including the human resources department, external audit, and lawyers, established an internal audit investigation team and moved into the Yunhe office that evening.
Xie Jingxing serves as the team leader, and Liu Qiming, the new deputy general manager of Yunhe Logistics, and the incumbent chief accountant serve as deputy team leaders.
The finance department office was locked and the company seal was taken back. In the next three months, all approval materials of Yunhe would need to be double-confirmed by the company seal and Xie Jingxing's signature.
At the beginning of the annual leave, the company's intranet was locked, and employees' online office permissions were strictly controlled during the annual leave. Grassroots employees were not allowed to stay, and HR specialists set up groups to track employees' "mental health".
The lights in the office building remained on all night, and the economic investigation police cars parked downstairs drove away one by one.
The whole company was filled with a solemn atmosphere. Most people chose to lie down silently and pretend to be dead, hoping not to get themselves wet when the blood flowed like a river.
These employees can be won over, and large-scale recruitment will be launched after the new year. As core middle and senior management such as Yu Congxin and Xie Kai take office, they will be gradually cleaned out and replaced.
The merger of Didi and Kuaidi required three months to six months to reorganize the internal teams. Yunhe will need much longer. It is expected that it will take the second half of this year to make a complete turnaround and move towards a new strategic direction.
This is also the reason why Xie Jingxing's violent purge caused such a big commotion. Looking further ahead, JD.com is about to go public, and the Alibaba Cainiao Logistics Alliance is beginning to take shape.
At present, Ele.me trains hundreds of delivery employees in batches, rents factories to build fighting rings, and the last lesson of all employee training is boxing to stimulate their fierceness and ferocity...
Time does not allow for a gradual, slow and smooth transfer of actual control.
Busy from the afternoon until late at night, he walked out of the Yunhe office building with his fingertips sliding across the screen of his mobile phone.
Suddenly he stopped and looked up at the deep night sky. Many of the people accompanying him did not understand and looked up at the sky as well.
It should be early morning New Zealand time.
"Remember to lock the rooftop."
Xie Jingxing gave a light reminder, turned off his phone screen, got into the car and left with a resolute step. The message his mother sent at noon remained in his WeChat chat box.
…………
Early in the morning, Sheshan Manor in the suburbs of Magic City.
Concubine Pei was curled up on the sofa in the living room in her pajamas. When she heard the sound of a car engine outside, she walked lazily to the door to greet it.
"Mr. Xie will not be back tonight." Song Anli was dressed in formal attire and looked a little tired.
Concubine Pei threw her head back and went back to the room: "The kitchen has made soup, I'll bring it to him."
"Mr. Xie doesn't have time to see you."
Song Anli officially announced: "You broke up."
"What do you mean?" Concubine Pei's face changed instantly and she asked.
Song Anli explained calmly, "From today on, your public relationship is over. Mr. Xie will publicly admit that he is single. You need to help clarify this, such as posting a Weibo post."
Concubine Pei stood there in a daze, opened her mouth several times but no sound came out. She put one hand into her hair and turned half a circle on the spot, then rushed to the door regardless of anything.
She was very clear about how her girlfriend identity came to be public, and she was even more aware that she might lose this identity after the public opinion crisis was resolved, but she didn't expect it to come so soon and so abruptly.
Last night they were still interacting with each other with a sweet kiss at the Yunshan Annual Meeting, and the related hot search notice is still hanging on the Internet.
"Get out of the way, I know he's out there!" she snapped.
Song Anli blocked the door: "Boss Xie is busy right now, personally persuading several difficult executives to leave."
"Then tomorrow!"
"Mr. Xie will attend Dianping's annual meeting tomorrow, and Taihe and Xiyou's annual meetings the day after tomorrow. He will go to the Maldives and come back for the Spring Festival."
"Don't tell me these things. I want to hear him explain it in person. Why do you, an assistant, have the right to interfere in our affairs?" Concubine Pei curled her lips in disdain.
"I'm only communicating with you to break up with you externally. If you make this call, it will be more than just a breakup with you externally."
Song Anli let her go back to the living room and pick up her phone, then reminded her, "His fiancée is in New York. They went there for a date before the Yunshan Group's annual meeting. They made dumplings together and attended a class reunion together."
"When you were kissing romantically on stage at the annual meeting last night, his father asked me in the audience what New Year's gift he would give to his fiancée this year."
Concubine Pei loosened her grip on the phone and slumped down on the sofa.
Song Anli put her hands on her shoulders, leaned over and whispered in her ear: "You know, on the way to New York, I served him like a peripheral, and he was reluctant to give it to me."
"And then I have to personally prepare a change of clothes for him to use when he spends the night at his fiancée's house."
She finally asked with pity: "Do you think you are superior to me?"
"Let's break up, why is he flirting with me when he has a girlfriend, you scumbag!"
Concubine Pei threw her phone, her face turned pale and bloodless, tears streaming down her face. Song Anli cast her eyes on the book "The Prince" with a bookmark on the coffee table, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
The two of them remained silent for a long time. Concubine Pei wiped her tears and emphasized: "What are you still standing here for? Go tell him that I want to break up with him!"
"Now that Xiao Ma Pentium is leaderless, Li Ming's wife is running around looking for investors to help. Are you sure you want to break up?"
Song Anli picked up The Prince and flipped through it: "This book is not suitable for you. It would be more practical to read some recipes, practice yoga, and get some beauty cards."
"You're crazy. Anyway, I won't post on Weibo. You let him tell me." Concubine Pei played dumb and acted as if she was going to throw a tantrum.
"I will be on New Year's Day holiday starting tomorrow. I will go to Beijing to meet Li Ming's wife first. Then I will have many drinking parties to thank Taihe Grapefruit and Mr. Xie's personal friends. Finally, I will go shopping for New Year's gifts."
Song Anli put down the book and picked up the tissue and handed it to her: "Look, we are not enemies. On the contrary, there are many opportunities to become friends. It is unreasonable for you to embarrass me."
"...Let him coax me." Concubine Pei judged the situation, turned her face away and snorted to save face.
"That's right. I'll tell him that the big star is very sad and his eyes are swollen from crying. I've made some soup for him when he gets home."
Song Anli said with a relaxed tone and a smile: "After the New Year, I will find a chance to persuade him to take time to accompany you, and he bought an e-sports club specifically to vent his anger on Wang Sicong.
"I can decide to give you 10% of the shares. You can learn to play League of Legends as a support and promote it to the public."
She lowered her voice unconsciously: "Everyone knows that this club is his, but you also hold shares. Even if we break up publicly, outsiders will still think you are his girlfriend."
"You are really dedicated to your job. Are you afraid that you won't be able to handle me and lose points in his heart?" Concubine Pei asked tentatively.
Since the situation is hopeless, she might as well take the opportunity to get more compensation. Pony Galloping was agreed upon before, and she didn't care about New Year's gifts. However, Xie Jingxing's social network resources were good things.
She also wanted to attend the year-end thank-you dinner party, and it would be great if she could pick up a few job opportunities at the same time.
Song Anli didn't intend to fully satisfy her, so she changed the subject: "I plan to open a private restaurant, and I'm in need of a partner. Do you want to invest?"
"Ha, are you really planning to be my best friend?" Concubine Pei couldn't believe it.
Song Anli asked back: "Are you really willing to be a collector's item?"
Concubine Pei certainly didn't want to, but from the fact that Old Xie was particularly concerned about what New Year gift Xie Jingxing gave to his fiancée, she knew that this woman must not be easy to deal with.
"Even if you are making a collection, you have to make the most valuable one," Song Anli encouraged.
Concubine Pei widened her eyes: "Besides the two of us, are there other women?"
"No, but we can create one. I heard that your agent is very good at pimping. Select a few sensible and obedient people with outstanding conditions to sign with your studio." Song Anli said lightly.
Concubine Pei's scalp went numb and goose bumps appeared on her arms. She was stunned and said, "Are you sick?!"
"The value of Pentium is different from what you think. If you do it well, you will have the corresponding value." Song Anli explained vaguely.
Concubine Pei didn’t understand what the pan-entertainment original IP output was, she only understood that Song Anli was crazy.
…………
[A few sounds of windpipes leave the pavilion late, you go to Xiaoxiang and I go to Qin. ]
Pei Fei, the only true goddess in the entertainment industry who has outshone the top two actresses and four actresses in various activities in the past six months and dared to confront Prince Wang head-on, announced with a line of ancient poetry that her love affair with the real-life version of the domineering boss's little wife has come to an end.
The Weibo server was overwhelmed by the exaggerated popularity, and countless people flocked to the Weibo accounts of the person involved, Xie Jingxing, and Prince Wang who exposed the relationship to explore the gossip.
Young Master Wang was quite enthusiastic in answering questions from netizens one after another, as if he was schizophrenic. One moment he said that the couple faked their breakup to gain popularity, and the next moment he said that Xie Jingxing was heartless and abandoned them after having an affair.
His gloating expression was clearly visible, but he didn't say anything to Concubine Pei. He was even mean enough to comment on her Weibo with a string of hug emojis.
Xie Jingxing was busy scheming and ignored the bastard. After the Weibo server returned to normal, he posted a photo with Shen Nanpeng and Zhang Tao, and announced in a pretentious manner that Dianping would bring a new version of the game to the group buying field after the new year.
Along with WeChat's holiday marketing of sponsoring the Spring Festival Gala and giving out red envelopes, Dianping's proactive attack is part of the allied tactics. In addition, there is a high probability that Nuomi.com will also take action after the New Year.
"If you keep fighting like this, Meituan CEO Wang will have to use his connections to mediate."
After the annual meeting of Dianping.com, Zhang Tao organized a dinner party, during which Shen Nanpeng made the following comments.
Xie Jingxing disagreed: "If Wang Xing wants to talk, he doesn't need to use connections, just contact Su He directly. Taihe has money in its account."
"Boss Xie's left-right fighting technique is exquisite."
Shen Nanpeng is from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. His temperament fits the regional stereotype very well. He looks shrewd, rational and good at calculating.
He speaks in a gentle manner with a slight accent, rarely talks nonsense, and every word he says is sharp.
Xie Jingxing shrugged and said frankly: "Don't be afraid of Mr. Shen laughing at you. The personnel relationship at Taihe Grapefruit is complicated. I am now Puyi and I am only responsible for nodding and shaking my head. The specific matters are decided by the two strong women."
"Some time ago, Jim Goetz came to China and told me that Silicon Valley only knows you, but they don't know Mr. Su and Mr. Tang." Shen Nanpeng began to torture with a smile.
Xie Jingxing was a bachelor: "You're welcome. I know Mr. Shen best in Silicon Valley. I wanted to get Jim to invest in China, and he suggested that I look for you."
Shen Nanpeng didn't expect him to be so direct. He punched the cotton and picked up the wine cup without saying anything else.
Xie Jingxing looked at Zhang Tao: "I personally think that the local life sector must be fought to the end. If Wang Xing wants to negotiate, Mr. Shen is the most suitable person to be the middleman."
He wanted to meet Shen Nanpeng because of the American Sequoia’s entry into China, but he was easily rejected by the other party before he even met him.
When they met again at this time, they couldn't say that they disliked each other, but they couldn't help but put on airs and weigh each other's weight with their hands.
"It all depends on what the founders of each party think. Sequoia will fully cooperate and act as a nanny, and will not affect the decision-making of the invested companies themselves."
Shen Nanpeng changed the subject: "This year, the three most competitive tracks, namely online car-hailing, group buying, and food delivery, are all in the O2O local life field. Where do you think the next hot spot will be, Mr. Xie?"
"The general direction is still the same as last year, K12 education, online travel, games and animation, and financial services. Internet financial business has great potential." Xie Jingxing replied indifferently.
Shen Nanpeng thought to himself, you are so optimistic about Internet finance, why didn’t you invest in Taihe Xiyou last year?
He put down his glass and said thoughtfully: "In fact, these hot spots are essentially centered around 4G mobile Internet. It is certain that the entertainment and gaming market will have relatively good development."
"The entertainment and gaming market is broken down into two parts. The traditional multimedia entertainment direction is a whole, from upstream content manufacturing film and television companies to downstream Internet video platforms."
Xie Jingxing restrained his lazy style: "In the game direction, mobile game manufacturing and animation creation and distribution are another part. Combining the two directions, the game live broadcast industry of game + multimedia entertainment, I think there is a great opportunity."
Shen Nanpeng pushed his glasses and said nothing. He didn't believe Xie Jingxing's perfunctory response, and he didn't believe it even when Xie Jingxing gave a serious analysis and a specific track.
