Chapter 375: A Clean Family
"Including the Black Pearl Restaurant List and the Bar Guide List (Drunkard Map), the high-quality review system will be the direction of Dianping's next business adjustment, driving the platform's vertical category search engine traffic, forming a differentiated competitive advantage and building brand value."

"The Black Pearl Restaurant List is initiated by the platform, while the Bar Guide List encourages platform users to create it spontaneously. The two systems go hand in hand to explore the balance between users, platforms and merchants."

"Thank you all shareholders and colleagues for attending the meeting. The platform business strategy adjustment plan has been reported. Does Mr. Xie have anything to add?"

“Thank you Mr. Zhang and Mr. Xu for your remarks. I would like to add one more thing: we are not pursuing the grand vision of our competitors who have been established for hundreds of years. Ten years is enough. Looking back ten years later, our community content and brand value are priceless.”

"Okay, then please vote on the resolution regarding the platform business adjustment plan."

The rain from yesterday night continued into today, drizzling from this morning until now, when it finally stopped near noon. The sky cleared up and a clear rainbow appeared.

Xie Jingxing sat at his desk, without waiting for the results of the online video conference vote, he took off his headphones, relaxed his body, leaned back in his chair, and looked out the window at the sunny scenery after the rain.

"The resolution has been passed. You are personally taking the lead in the 'Bar Guide' business. Why don't you say a few more words?"

A few minutes later, Yu Nian, who was sitting on the sofa in the office, took off her headphones. Her hair was smooth and shoulder-length, her plump red lips were slightly moist. She raised her hand and stretched, her chest undulating.

Her figure and demeanor reveal the lazy, plump and mature style of a woman.

Xie Jingxing rested his elbows on the desk and took a sip of water from the cup. He said indifferently without turning his head, "Just taking the lead in reducing the resistance to the implementation of the business integration plan."

He had a deep memory of the incident last year when Xu Ning disobeyed his instructions casually. Since then, he has consciously restrained himself and said as little as possible when attending meetings on specific business matters.

Only asking about the results and not the process, and coldly watching the people below work hard, this is the mirror hanging high.

Fairness and justice in rewarding good and punishing bad are secondary. The main thing is to step away from the outside and sit in a high position, so as to put aside subjective right and wrong, see through everything and achieve a neutral balance.

“It’s a bit anti-human. Venture capital pursues subjective judgment, while management requires objective balance. This may be the fundamental reason why excellent venture capitalists cannot become entrepreneurs.”

Yu Nian made some serious comments while moving forward with his flexible waist swaying.

She didn't mind not getting a response, and smiled to herself, "You said there were obstacles in the execution of business integration, but Wang Xing is still not willing to give up?"

"Wang Xing is a person who respects business rules."

No matter how unwilling every failed entrepreneur like Lu Chuanwei and Zhang Xuhao is, they ultimately stand within the bottom line of business rules.

Including Xie Jingxing himself, he must also respect the business rules and increase his holdings. Wang Xing is a mature entrepreneur and will not overstep the boundaries.

He wanted to say something, but he stopped talking when he felt the two soft textures on his shoulders and frowned. He caught a glimpse of two red banknotes floating gently on the corner of the desk, and sighed helplessly in his heart.

With a gentle pull from his backhand, Yu Nian seemed to have all his bones pulled out, and his upper body fell on the back of the chair. He hugged her from behind with both hands and kissed him with his red lips.

Counting on her fingers, only five days had passed since the night they had sex, and she had dropped her work and squeezed out time to come to the Magic City.

Although the reasons are sufficient, one is the Xinmei (Xinda E-Meituan) investor meeting, and the other is the financial system of Jingxing Investment Group.

But Xie Jingxing still felt that Yu Nian was a little "addicted", like a girl in love who didn't care about anything else. Due to his own personality, he didn't like this and even felt a little disgusted.

Among the several women around him, only Concubine Pei had such an incident when she just returned to China, and that was because their relationship was exposed, so they only wanted to have a reputation as an insignificant couple.

Yu Nian was different. They were closely related in both private and professional life, and she had great power. If she was influenced by her emotions and did something uncontrollable, Yu Tong would not tolerate it.

"It sounds like you have a good impression of Wang Xing. He came to Shanghai a few days ago. Did you two have a pleasant conversation?"

They kissed for more than ten minutes until they were out of breath, and Yu Nian was willing to let go. His round chin was wet, and he continued to use his work to cover up his mistake.

"It's not a pleasant experience, but it's a win-win situation for both sides."

Xie Jingxing shook his head slightly: "If he is willing to take my money when starting a business next time, I will invest in the seed round."

“Maybe in half a year you’ll change your mind and let Zhang Tao out and support Wang Xing to take over.”

Yu Nian's eyes were filled with a layer of gentle mist that could drown a person, and she longed for Xie Jingxing to take the initiative a little bit more, just a little bit.

However, the phone rang at an inopportune time. It was a call from Shen Nanpeng.

"Do it yourself."

Xie Jingxing also didn't understand the situation. He just stood up and said something, then answered the phone and focused on the business.

Yu Nian was so embarrassed for a moment that his face flushed with shame and anger. He stood there at a loss, his nose feeling sour and tears welling up in his eyes.

She took a few deep breaths, wiped her tears, turned around and was about to leave, but Xie Jingxing pressed her shoulder even harder.

The two of them stared at each other in silence for a long time. She slumped down, followed the force and slowly squatted, burying her head.

Xie Jingxing breathed a sigh of relief, then calmly sat back in his chair, continuing to admire the scenery outside the window while answering Shen Nanpeng on the other end of the phone.

Today, the Xinmei Group's capital meeting was themed on the resolution of the business integration plan, but in fact it was a summary meeting after the merger of Xindeng and Meituan.

The development and operation plan was determined, and the goal of achieving 2500 billion yuan in revenue this year was officially announced, giving investors and shareholders confidence to prepare for subsequent financing.

In short, from the merger and acquisition itself to business adjustments and future strategic layout, the first half of the battle in the group buying and takeout local life field that has lasted for five years has come to an end.

As for the so-called competitors in the second half, we will see them not tomorrow but next year after Newmei successfully completes the acquisition without causing strong internal conflicts.

The merger between Ctrip and Qunar has been delayed, Baidu and Lu Qi have hooked up and abandoned Baidu Nuomi, and Koubei.com is alone in fighting against Xinmei's "choose one of two" strategy and cannot stand alone.

They can only be considered competitive if they make it through next year.

Therefore, in a market where no competitor can be found even with a telescope, several investors and shareholders want to go public as soon as possible to facilitate their cash-out and exit.

Sequoia Capital's Neil Shen was not in a hurry and took the initiative to call to express his attitude, while also maintaining social relations and chatting about random things.

Of course, it would be useless even if he supported a quick listing.

The two things of self-operated mobile payment Internet financial business and steady and slow listing will re-bind the interests of the relatively controlling shareholder Xie Jingxing and the founder Zhang Tao who holds super voting rights.

The former had just made up its mind to choose an operating framework with the traffic port as the starting point, and the latter took two or three days to initiate a meeting of investors and pass the resolution.

The two sides cooperated seamlessly, and there was really not much room for others to fight for their own interests except to let it go.

"You better be good and don't be so willful in the future."

After easily dealing with Shen Nanpeng and hanging up the phone, Xie Jingxing put on a good face and touched Yu Nian's hair.

She knelt on the ground with her knees bent, looking up with a dazed and aggrieved face. She was unable to speak and could only sob vaguely, then buried her head more attentively.

Seeing this, Xie Jingxing was not in a hurry and fiddled with his phone leisurely.

Dianping started out by relying on review content, and mergers and acquisitions will have little impact on its core business, so it can start adjusting its business first without having to retain a buffer period like Ele.me and Meituan.

He wrote a note about his experience at the bar last night and posted it on Dianping.com. The main content was to launch the "Drunkard Map" activity in his personal name. Users who participated in the "Drunkard Map" entry posted notes and comments on the bar, and he personally paid to reward the 50 most popular notes, limited to three months.

The note received a very good response, with over 100,000 views in half a day, and it also became a hot topic on Weibo across platforms.

[Young Marshal gave my boyfriend a bottle of whiskey worth tens of thousands of yuan! ]

Xie Jingxing was browsing the notes related to the entry, and when he saw such a title, he clicked into the note to view the text.

Sure enough, it was written by the girl from the young couple last night. At the beginning of the article, she first made fun of herself for using the title, and then wrote a few hundred words to share her happiness and express gratitude.

I feel that my boyfriend and I have a good relationship. My boyfriend and I have agreed that if we can stay together till the end, we will drink this bottle of wine on our wedding day. Please like this post so that you can see it.

——The girl wrote at last, accompanying the photo.

Xie Jing Xing couldn't help but smile and typed a comment: [Not only did I see it, I also want to attend your wedding. PS: The photo was photoshopped a bit, I almost didn't recognize myself.]

[No, buddy, you are Xie Jingxing, right?] The note was quite popular and quickly refreshed a comment reply.

[Yes, buddy. I’m Xie Jingxing.]

[Fuck, we caught him alive, come and don't let him get away! Mr. Xie, Mr. Xie, how do you taste a cocktail? ]

【You will learn it if you drink more. Practice makes perfect. 】

[Xiao Xie, I am going to have dinner with a girl at a high-end restaurant. How should I serve the cup? ]

[You will get it after a few appointments. Practice makes perfect. 】

[Brother, how can I attract beautiful women like you? ]

[I have never flirted.]

Xie Jingxing cast his eyes towards Yu Nian who was kneeling in front of him, put down his phone, pulled her up and held her in his arms.

…………

From noon to sunset, the office door slowly opened, and Yu Nian lowered her eyebrows and eyes as she followed Xie Jingxing out of the company.

Where the man couldn't see, the trusted assistant was so frightened by her look that his calves cramped, and he used his Thousand-Jin Weight Kung Fu to hold the disposable paper water cup that was almost crushed.

He kept his butt in place and chatted and laughed with the head of investor relations department of Grapefruit Capital as if nothing had happened.

Chen Xi walked into the office, picked up the two hundred yuan on the desk with a puzzled look, looked at it carefully, and then looked down at the trash can.

My heart suddenly tightened and my mind went blank. After a long while, I came to my senses with cold sweat on my palms and carefully put the money back where it belonged.

Does Song Anli know? Should I tell her?

Countless thoughts flashed through Chen Xi's mind, but in the end he just packed the garbage bag into his backpack, walked two kilometers out of the company and threw it away. Opportunities pay off...

"I have inquired about it. The securities broker license applied for by Jingxing Investment Group is most likely for 'single investment banking business'."

The spacious SPA quiet room is dimly lit and filled with the fragrance of soothing essential oils. Two Sawadeeka technicians from Thailand who do not understand Chinese provide gentle and silent massage movements.

Yu Nian's fatigue was relieved, and this time he was sincere in discussing work.

Xie Jingxing and she lay side by side on the massage bed, with a faint screen between them. After thinking for a moment, he said, "The single investment banking business is too useless. Can you think of a way to do the brokerage business?"

"If you don't trust me, go ask Grandpa and see if there's anything wrong with me doing my best."

"..."

Xie Jingxing was silent. He was already eighty years old.

He closed his eyes slightly and complained: "I don't trust you, so am I going to be with a wild cat this afternoon?"

"I didn't say there was no way. You didn't even ask me how much effort I put into getting the news." Yu Nian hummed and hawed to show his weakness and dissatisfaction.

It had only been a few days since Xie Jingxing mentioned the financial license to her, and she had learned the approximate result just after entering the application review process. She had no idea how many connections and favors he had used.

Now the financial circles in Beijing have almost tacitly accepted that although Xie appears to be glamorous on the surface, he is actually a gigolo who is living off her.

As a result, he came from afar with great joy but was still rejected. Yu Nian also knew that his mentality was not right now. He was a little impulsive this time and made people look down on him and feel disgusted with him for no reason.

The dry wood of so many years has been ignited. Even if she is abused, she is willing to be treated like a bitch by keeping a gigolo.

But Yu Nian couldn't accept being despised by Xie Jingxing. It made her feel that between the two of them, she was the pitiful one who was being given charity. If he didn't like her, then there would be no point in starting over.

"If that's all you can think about, you should retire and have kids."

Xie Jingxing's temples were throbbing, but he couldn't just pull up his pants and run away, so he had to comfort him.

The words were very impolite, but Yu Nian was happy with it. She turned over and sat up, jumped off the bed, pulled open the screen, and came closer to give him a massage herself.

"I knew you were not satisfied with the 'sole investment banking business' license. I've already thought of an idea. Just listen to me." She said in a sweet and coquettish voice.

There are two common ways to obtain a securities broker license. Both registration and acquisition are very difficult.

In addition, there is a third niche approach that is relatively more feasible - cultivation.

In the early 2000s, when China and Europe were cooperating economically, the second boss personally stepped forward to establish a Sino-European joint venture securities company, which was initially approved for only "single investment banking business".

Translated literally, it can only engage in businesses such as mergers and acquisitions and private equity financing that Tang Man and Su He previously did at Juntai.

This joint venture securities firm has been developing fairly well over the past few years, and has gradually been approved for a "securities brokerage business license", but its securities brokerage business is limited to areas near Zhuhai.

After several years of decent business performance, European capital withdrew and the joint venture brokerage company was acquired by a state-owned financial giant that claimed to be a private enterprise. The company finally obtained a complete brokerage business license.

It took seven or eight years and the equity changed several times, so it is called cultivation.

"Our family is clean and honest, and you are so outstanding, it will definitely not take seven or eight years."

As Yu Nian was talking, she squatted down and put her red lips close to Xie Jingxing's face and kissed him: "I will find you a professional manager who knows the business to run it. You will be able to get a complete securities broker license in three to four years at most."

"What do you think?" she asked expectantly.

Xie Jing Xing blinked his eyes: "Come up, I'll hold you for a while."
