Chapter 366 The Strong Woman Acting as a Rogue
Banks are the starting point for all economic and financial operations. It is very difficult to apply for a license, which requires approval from the highest administrative agency.
But this does not mean that other private financial licenses are easy to obtain. For example, third-party payment licenses. Previously, with the halo of Internet technological innovation, the central bank issued nearly 200 licenses in two years. You can apply for them and get them.
When they came to their senses and realized the importance of this thing, they immediately jumped from one extreme to another. The number of new licenses issued this year was less than double digits, and some were even cancelled.
As soon as Xie Jingxing opened his mouth, he pushed for the full financial license. It was not easy to talk too much in a public place with so many people watching, so Yu Nian naturally had to communicate in depth in private before deciding whether to give it to him.
Even if I give it, it won't be so easy.
When they created the chip industry fund before, they knew to send flowers, but this time they just used the naming of the Hope Primary School to get away with it. It turns out that only when you can't get it, you know how to cherish it.
The banquet hall was filled with the clinking of glasses and the bright lights. Yu Nian stood alone in a corner, looking at Xie Jingxing, who was the center of attention among the crowd, and the woman next to him with a pure and sweet face.
As for Concubine Pei and Song Anli, he seemed to like this dessert that was not presentable, just like a wild boar could not eat fine bran and a wild cat could not eat a state banquet.
Yu Nian picked up the wine glass and poured the scarlet wine into his mouth. He clasped his hands over his chest and exhaled deeply, causing his chest to rise and fall.
In the crowd, Liu Qing, who was blatantly ignored by her, joked: "Xiaotian needs to exercise more. How can you not know how to drink as an assistant to Mr. Xie? You are not as good as Anli in this respect."
"Come on, Song Anli was brought up by you." Xie Jingxing tried to smooth things over.
Zhang Zetian bowed modestly: "Sister An Li has indeed taught me a lot. If there are any shortcomings, please give me a chance, Mr. Liu. I will continue to work hard in the future."
"It's just a joke when we first meet, don't mind it." Liu Qing's face was full of smiles but it didn't look like he was joking.
The alternation of giving and taking made Xiao Zhang, a schoolmate, feel very frustrated. She had recently been following Xie Jingxing around the world to socialize and make connections through fundraising opportunities, and had encountered this kind of situation many times.
Song Anli witnessed Liu Qing joining Didi with her own eyes. Later, she was hospitalized for drinking while helping Didi in Harbin. She also almost single-handedly established the US office of Grapefruit Capital.
With these interpersonal relationships accumulated bit by bit, she was able to obtain various resources when she started her own business independently.
Zhang Zetian had the same assistant title as before, so it was normal for her to get a few stabs in the back. It was not easy for Xie Jingxing to take care of her.
She knew it clearly and had no choice but to endure it. Liu Qing's contact information was her gain, so she took her leave and left.
"You really don't mind the trouble." Liu Qing complained meaningfully.
Xie Jingxing felt a headache: "You think too much."
"Huh? What was I thinking?"
"..."
Xie Jingxing was stunned for a moment, and Liu Qing was also stunned. The two of them looked at each other in awkward silence.
"What I mean is that there are many things that are inconvenient to talk about when she is around you, so it's very troublesome."
After a few seconds, Liu Qing explained in an extremely serious manner that she didn't want to know whether there was gossip or not, as it would be too troublesome.
Xie Jingxing shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and made up his mind to get Zhang Zetian out when he returned to the Magic City, otherwise the yellow mud would fall out of his crotch and it would be shit.
Brother Qiangdong is really careless. His beautiful wife, who is more than three months pregnant and is about to get married, came to his door but he refused to take her back. Does he really treat him as a brother?
"At the end of last month, Yan Wenhua took his team to Mobike for a meeting. They discussed a traffic diversion plan, the core of which was to embed the Mobike app on Didi's homepage."
Liu Qing forced herself to skip the topic and get down to business: "So we can draw inferences from this and see if New DAE and Meituan can embed Mobike. Furthermore, based on the map navigation function, the three of us can connect each other's traffic pools."
"Users buy group-buying coupons for restaurants on Meituan or Dianping, and then use the platform's map navigation to jump directly to Didi to take a taxi to the restaurant. Didi recommends the Mobike parking spot closest to the restaurant as the drop-off point."
She spoke more and more fluently and concluded: "Users finally use Mobike as a means of transportation to reach the restaurant for the last mile, and everyone serves as the traffic terminal entrance for each other."
Xie Jingxing was speechless for a moment. Achieving a comprehensive ecological cycle of local life services from catering and shopping to transportation would form a considerable industrial barrier.
If Meizu, a hardware terminal, is brought into the picture, ideally, a user can fulfill their most basic life needs within this ecosystem.
"The general direction is fine, but the execution is difficult. To be honest, New DAE and Meituan will not be able to connect their data in the short term."
Xie Jingxing expressed his attitude directly. He is the largest shareholder of New DAE and the second largest shareholder of Didi, and is quite interested in this proposed plan.
Other shareholders of both parties may not be willing to have a high degree of trust and cooperate in data sharing.
Liu Qing smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The influence of the merger of New DAE-Meituan is too great. Now some people in the company are worried that they will enter the online car-hailing business."
"Based on the theory you just mentioned, Xinda E has the ability to engage in online car-hailing business, but there is no need for it in the short term and we cannot take care of it." Xie Jingxing gave a reassurance without hesitation.
Liu Qing wanted to try it again but after thinking it over carefully, he decided not to. If the new Meituan were to enter the online car-hailing field, the best entry point should be the tourism and transportation business based on hotels.
According to this idea, Didi's direct collision point with it will be in air tickets and train transportation, and it will not fight with it in the main usage scenarios of online car-hailing for a while.
Therefore, the strategic focus remains unchanged. First, it will defeat Uber China and then take over the shared bicycle field. By fully integrating the transportation market, it will also be able to reversely advance into the catering group purchasing business.
"Didi and New Danghe are diverting traffic to Mobike, Hu Weiwei wants to increase the pace of competition." Liu Qing went back to the beginning. Xie Jingxing was very pleased: "Burning subsidies?"
"The ofo yellow bikes have already started, and there is a 10% discount if you pay with Alipay." Liu Qing said with a hint of emotion.
Ofo will definitely be banned by WeChat within two months if it continues to operate like this. It depends on whether Dai Wei wants to play it safe or stand firmly with Alibaba and stick to it.
As a veteran, Didi has a lot of experience and insights. Now it has jumped out of the chessboard, but the real players are still Alibaba and Tencent.
Baidu is in a state of decline, but the little man in front of us has unified the local life service industry and has some qualifications to play chess...
Liu Qing had an idea in his mind and asked thoughtfully: "I see that Meituan's bank transaction payment function also has a subsidy activity?"
"It seems to be a payment promotion unilaterally offered by China Merchants Bank Credit Card."
Xie Jingxing brushed it off, took a sip of his wine and continued, "Go back to Tang Man and ask her to coordinate the integration of the Mobike function into the platform. And Hu Weiwei herself, if you want to hit her, do it hard, don't give Dai Wei the chance to play both sides."
"What do you mean?" Liu Qing made a vague guess.
A difficult woman, Xie Jingxing explained in a light tone, half-truthfully, "There is a shortage of money in the market, and there are fewer good projects. The differentiation is naturally intensified, and most of the hot money is concentrated in very few tracks."
"Is the competition in the shared bike industry more intense than expected?" Liu Qing's attention was diverted.
Xie Jingxing continued to guide: "Wang Xing has set a wrong example. Anyone who is desperate can jump into my arms... Do you think I look like someone who works for Tencent?"
"That's wrong. You are the financial sponsor and we entrepreneurs are working for you." Liu Qing suddenly laughed.
Xie Jingxing thought to himself, "My dear daughter, please stop messing around. I dare to admit that I am planning to open a bank to fight Tencent and Alibaba. How dare you get on my boat?"
Just as Mr. Ma led him to invest in Alipay, the merger of New DAE and Meituan has made smart people gradually smell the blood...
"Hello Mr. Xie, let's take a photo together."
A strong woman in a white suit and eight-centimeter high heels appeared at the right time. Her cold and reserved temperament cut off the conversation like a sharp knife.
Liu Qing took a quick look at him and had no idea who he was in the circle. He kept smiling and nodded, then took the initiative to step aside to make room.
"Hello." Xie Jingxing also greeted politely with confused eyes.
The strong woman stretched out her arm. The ruby ring the size of a pigeon egg sparkled, and the emerald bracelet made her wrist look particularly slender. "Shake hands."
"Mr. Xie, please look at the camera and move a little closer."
Without giving Xie Jingxing time to react, the photographer conscientiously directed the posture and quickly pressed the shutter.
The strong woman directly grabbed his hand and placed it on her slender waist, and tugged it intimately to show that it was okay to hold it tighter: "Mr. Xie, hold my waist, let's take a close-up photo."
"Excuse me, who are you?"
"Come on."
The strong woman used her actions to block Xie Jingxing's doubts back to his throat, put her arms around his neck, pursed her rosy lips and kissed him forcefully.
The noisy and lively atmosphere in the banquet hall suddenly froze, and then there were bursts of exclamations, mixed with a few shouts and claps from people who were too confused to understand the situation.
"what is your job?"
Liu Qing rushed forward and pushed the strong woman away to block Xie Jingxing. The other party did not hesitate and regained her cool demeanor and retreated with the photographer without changing her expression.
"Wait, check her camera!"
Zhang Zetian and several waiters came running over at the same time. The strong woman was a little panicked. The photographer simply abandoned his teammates, protected the camera, and ran towards the main entrance of the banquet hall.
Xie Jingxing wiped the saliva and lip stains on his face and stood still. The guests who realized it later spontaneously helped to stop him, but they were all well-known and proud of their status and position and didn't take it seriously.
Even if this guy runs away now, we'll see him at the police station in two hours. If there's no internal rectification or external security action, the club princess will have to rest for three days.
So the photographer was like Liu Xiang possessed by the 100-meter runner, overcoming layer after layer of obstacles and was about to rush out of the banquet hall.
At the critical moment, a red wine bottle flew from the side and hit him in the back. He staggered and fell to the ground and was held down by several waiters.
"belch."
Yu Nian's face flushed as she burped, threw away the bottle in her hand and kicked off her high heels that were in the way, then walked barefoot across the soft carpet under the silent and surprised gazes of the audience.
She brushed past Xie Jingxing, rolled up her white sleeves stained with scarlet wine, and pushed aside Liu Qing and Zhang Zetian.
She suddenly stretched out her arm and grabbed the strong woman's hair with one hand, with such force that she made her stagger, and raised her other hand high and swung it down.
"What are you?" Yu Nian asked in an extremely calm and serious tone.
