The banquet was in full swing with clinking glasses.
There are five men and three women, including Fan and Bai, the two Bings mentioned by Xu Jiayin, and Zhang Ziyi, who was brought by Wanda's old shareholder Ding Mingshan.
Amid the smell of cigarettes and alcohol, the man with a big nose nodded slightly, and his 3:7 hairstyle swayed. The assistant who had been reporting the news in his ear quietly left the private room.
"Xie Jingxing took the jade seal away." He explained in a low voice.
Lao Wang sat next to him, folding his arms with one hand and saying ambiguously, “This kid has money.”
"Grudges never fester. This reckless person has never suffered any loss." Big Nose was not very polite.
Lao Wang thought to himself, why don't you just deal with him directly? Hand over the imperial seal to him so promptly, and then pretend to be serious and say some harsh words to show that this guy has never suffered any loss. Who are you telling this to?
Wanda is not interested in joining your Avengers. He calmly looked back at Ding Mingshan who was looking inquiringly at him, indicating that he should be patient.
"How about me, Xu Jiayin? What is Xie Jingxing? He is just making some quick money in finance. He can't even talk to me..."
At the other end, Xu Jiayin was sitting at the head of the table, his face flushed and reeking of alcohol. He noticed the conversation and asked, "Old Sun, you two listen to me, what do you think of Xie Jingxing?"
"You say, I'm listening." Big Nose pushed his glasses and smiled in response.
Old Sun, Sun Hongbin, the jade seal at the auction last night was his.
Originally it was half out of kindness and half out of business, wanting to help Jia Yueting, who is also a fellow Shanxi native, into a small social circle, but ended up causing this kind of mess.
Xie Jingxing specifically named LeTV in the morning. It was just noon now. It was only a dozen hours from last night until now. He took out more than 400 million in cash and went to Poly Auction House to pay for the jade seal.
Several hundred million dollars of funds may not be a big deal to the people present, but everything has its priorities.
Obviously, whether Xie Jingxing naturally holds a huge cash flow or he thinks that the hatred with Jia Yueting is very urgent, it is not a good thing no matter how you look at it.
"I tell you, he can't!"
After receiving the response, Xu Jiayin took a puff of his cigar with satisfaction, and said in a sonorous tone: "What young business leader with millions of fans? I just make a phone call and put him in a dog cage."
"He has a close relationship with Jack Ma. Do you think Jack Ma can get Weibo to unblock him? Jack Ma can't do it. This is a direct order from the regulator to Weibo."
He tapped the table with a pair of chopsticks in his hand and stressed: "Not only will his account be blocked, but if LeEco's stock price is normal, I will give him a low price. If LeEco's stock price drops a little, I will ask the regulator to investigate his malicious market manipulation. Let him know who he should listen to!"
"Haha, Mr. Xu, you must be having a good drink. Let me toast you another glass."
Bingbing, who had drunk a lot of wine, sobered up instantly. She smiled sweetly and picked up the wine glass to interrupt the conversation. She gently shook the wine in the glass with her fingers, causing it to overflow from the glass.
"Do you think I'm drunk?"
Xu Jiayin's expression suddenly changed, Bingbing kept apologizing, Jia Yueting remained silent and stared at the wine glass, Lao Wang, Sun Hongbin and the other two just watched with a smile.
Zhang Ziyi subconsciously moved her body towards Ding Mingshan. Bai Bing suppressed her panic, picked up the wine glass and interrupted to help smooth things over.
It's not out of kindness but experience. After going through too many such situations, everyone will suffer if one person suffers.
"I'm not drunk, I'm sober now!"
Xu Jiayin half-acted, throwing away his chopsticks and putting his arm around Jia Yueting's shoulders: "Yueting and I did this for Old Xie's sake. Xie Jingxing is shameless. We haven't even said anything yet, but he's already yelling like a victim."
"Lao Wang, you are an investor of LeTV; Lao Sun, you are the leader of Yueting. In the future, we will all cooperate with LeTV and do business together. Is it against the rules for Xie Jingxing to talk about LeTV's financial affairs?"
After he made such a fuss and asked the question directly, Lao Wang and Sun Hongbin could no longer hide.
There are nearly 3,000 listed companies in the stock market, and not a single one of them can stand up to a real financial review; the problems just vary in size.
Xie Jingxing could use his connections to do it privately, such as asking the bank to withdraw LeTV's loan. All kinds of means are considered business. Don't complain if you are not as good as others.
But he used his personal influence to start a group to crack down on LeTV's finances, which was a case of turning the table and smashing the pot. If this approach continues, they will just report on each other's rival companies instead of doing business seriously.
Except for a few emerging industries including the Internet, most of the leading companies in various fields of traditional industries have all come from the 1980s, 1990s.
It is impossible to tell outsiders what the general environment was like back then. All we can say is that we all carry original sin, and the shit stuck on our butts may have been wiped clean or may never be wiped clean.
Lips are dead and teeth are cold, that's all.
"Xie Jingxing has indeed gone a little too far. I'm going back to Hangzhou and talking to some friends."
Sun Hongbin took off his glasses and slowly stated his position. Last year, he fought against Song Weiping and Sunac China acquired a stake in Greenland, thus entering the Zhejiang business circle and gaining some influence.
In the several rounds of fundraising since the development of Grapefruit Capital, Zhejiang-based private capital has accounted for a large proportion. This is the limit of applying pressure in 800 circles. How much effect it can have depends entirely on fate.
After all, Xie Jingxing was able to gather a large amount of Zhejiang capital not only because he could make money and was on good terms with Jack Ma...
The situation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is too complicated. Jia Yueting was able to hoard tens of thousands of acres of land in Jiangsu and Zhejiang under the name of making cars without realizing it.
Sun Hongbin helped this fellow villager because of a huge amount of cheap land as Sunac China and Greenland Holdings wanted to build houses.
"Mr. Sun, I'd like to offer you a toast."
Jia Yueting, who played the role of an autistic patient, raised his glass and drank it all without any pretense. He just said clearly that if you don't take sides, don't even think about making money from me.
Sun Hongbin had a terrible headache, but he kept smiling and raised his glass to drink.
It was clearly he who brought Jia Yueting into the team. When did this guy become so close to Xu Jiayin? The two of them are constantly stirring up trouble with each other.
"Well, Xiao Xie doesn't have much business dealings with Wanda, mostly in the entertainment sector. I'll try to find a way to research it."
Lao Wang had a similar attitude and was cautious in his words. Wanda's investment in LeTV Sports was based on its own strategic layout of culture, sports and entertainment. If you want me to get Xie Jingxing, tell me what you can give first.
"I have already informed the people below that LeTV will cut off all business dealings with Pony. LeTV can also do online ticketing business, and we can also talk about it."
Jia Yueting filled the wine cup again: "All entertainment industries will eventually go through our LeTV distribution terminal. Xie Jingxing will be blocked by us."
"LeTV.com, LeTV Sports, LeTV TV, LeTV mobile phones, from the perspective of business layout, LeTV has both soft and hard terminals, and we have the entire industry chain."
He drank up the wine in the glass, his blood boiling, and blurted out: "I have a lot of friends in the cultural and tourism industry. If Xie Jingxing wants to make a movie in the future, he has to ask me for help!"
"Yes! I heard that he wants to do logistics real estate. Do you think he can get a piece of land in the future? And in the financial circle, who doesn't have a few friends? I don't believe his company can withstand the investigation."
Xu Jiayin tilted his head back and took a deep puff of his cigar: "Anyway, this matter is not over yet. We must force him to surrender."
Here it comes again. Jia Yueting is still trying to regain his status in the business world, but he is completely the same wild man he was 20 years ago, with the words "hiring people" in his mind.
Lao Wang inexplicably thought of the noun in the Northeastern dialect, picked up the wine glass and suppressed his irritability.
"What kind of person is Xie Jingxing? He is just an actor who sang Kunqu opera and a prostitute who sold smiles on the Qinhuai River in ancient times. He treated her like a treasure and brought her home to have children and even had a love affair with her. He...he has brought shame to the Xie family!"
Xu Jiayin became more and more excited as he spoke, and he almost couldn't hold it in. Feeling weak, he picked up the wine dispenser and poured it into his mouth. He paused for a moment, stared, and said more forcefully: "What's wrong with me making fun of her? What I said is not the truth?" "Do you think I'm drunk? Fuck your mother, go out and ask how many popular female stars in the entertainment industry would kneel down with a shy smile and rush to swallow my descendants."
He held a cigar in his mouth, raised his arm and placed it on Bingbing's shoulder, and with one hand, he squeezed the pretty face in the fans' minds into a deformed state.
Lao Wang and Sun Hongbin frowned at the same time, and the three women present had different expressions of humiliation and were speechless.
"Mr. Xu, let's continue drinking." Ding Mingshan, who had been watching the whole process coldly, couldn't stand it anymore.
Why are you pretending to be so arrogant? You are the biological father of a female celebrity, so what if you can have sex with her for free?
Buying and selling are all just business. If a first-line female celebrity doesn't have enough money, would she bother to play with you and bring shame to her main job?
I ordered two ice cream bars today. I spent so much money but I have no idea whether I am hurt or not.
Ding Mingshan turned his head, with a gentlemanly expression as if to say, "There's nothing to be afraid of, I'm here for you," and gently squeezed Zhang Ziyi's hand under the table to comfort her.
When each party gets what it needs from the other and establishes a long-term beneficial relationship, there will naturally be affection. When you become friends over a long period of time, there is no need to talk about money. Just chatting about love and having fun together from time to time is the true state of mind.
What a country bumpkin! Ding Mingshan secretly despised him.
However, seeing that Jia Yueting didn't care and looked even more contemptuous of the two Bings than Xu Jiayin, I had a different feeling.
"Don't think my words are harsh. I'm asking Boss Jia to give you a thumbs up..."
Xu Jiayin was still talking nonstop when suddenly his cell phone rang, and then the door of the box suddenly opened.
Jia Yueting looked at his mobile phone, then looked at his assistant who was walking towards him quickly, and the atmosphere suddenly became subtle.
【LeTV's stock price plummeted 7%. 】
[Boss, LeTV's stock price fell 4% at the opening of the afternoon session. ]
Lao Wang and Sun Hongbin received the latest news almost at the same time. They put down their phones and exchanged glances tacitly. Everything was said without words.
I’ve had a lot of fun drinking today, so I’ll stop here first. Bye!
As for the Avengers who were targeting Xie Jingxing, they had all had a great time drinking, so their drunken words should not be taken seriously. We will discuss it another day. I will definitely deal with it next time.
…………
"Boom."
Half an hour later, Lao Wang and Sun Hongbin received the news that the company's gas tank was not turned off and they were urgently needed to go back to take control of the situation.
He apologized deeply and drank three cups as punishment and left in a hurry. The door of the private room closed behind him and he could faintly hear the sound of a cup breaking.
Lao Wang turned his head and glanced at Zhang Ziyi. Ding Mingshan observed her expression and coughed lightly: "Ziyi, turn left and walk forward. The third supermarket you see sells Luda chewing gum. Go buy two boxes."
"Hateful." Zhang Ziyi rolled her eyes in reproach.
"I won't eat anything if it's not from the third supermarket. Go ahead, be safe on the road, I'll meet you in the parking lot."
Watching Zhang Ziyi take the elevator downstairs first, Ding Mingshan frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Find a way to check LeEco's financial situation. If there are any problems, terminate the cooperation as soon as possible to reduce losses."
Lao Wang made the decision decisively, his expression slightly solemn.
There is no wind without waves in the market. Xie Jingxing was able to cause LeEco's stock price to crash with a long Weibo post, which most likely means that LeEco itself does have financial problems, and they are big problems.
Then he mentioned last night that Xu Jiayin was also on the edge of a cliff...
If Evergrande collapses, will it trigger a chain reaction that spreads to the entire real estate industry and in turn affects Wanda’s return to the A-share market?
“These two people, no wonder.”
Lao Wang turned around again and looked at the closed door of the restaurant's private room with deep eyes.
Jia Yueting went to the United States last year, telling the public that he was recuperating and then acted out the role of a king returning, moving countless fans to tears.
The actual situation is that while the gods are fighting, the fish in the pond are avoiding disaster. This was the reason why LeTV's stock price was sluggish at the time.
As a result, it seems that they have nothing to do with it, but they come back happily and are happily making cars and mobile phones.
The same goes for Xu Jiayin. The reason why authoritative foreign financial institutions are so authoritative is that their bearish influence on Evergrande cannot be easily resolved.
Old Wang originally thought that they were fighting Xie Jingxing to death without any reason, just to take the opportunity to show the outside world that the snow and wind were not enough to prove anything, and to maintain a superficial trick of truth and falsehood that made it difficult to guess the truth.
Now that Xie Jingxing has slapped them, Evergrande and LeTV are probably nine out of ten fake and one out of ten real, and are completely holding up the situation with their huge but weak bodies.
So the question is, how will Xu Jiayin and Jia Yueting react?
Xie Jingxing's current actions are only aimed at LeTV. Now that things have come to this, it is better to die than for a friend to die. Lao Xu will probably try to withdraw quickly, as he can't let himself get involved in a fake play.
As for Jia Yueting, he can either fight to the end to show that there is nothing wrong with him, or kneel down and beg for mercy immediately.
LeEco has tens of billions of yuan in financing debt and a large amount of equity pledged, which means that the current situation is the same as when a large proportion of stocks were pledged during the stock market crash in June and July.
The stock price fell below the equity pledge line, the financing and debt chain reaction exploded on the spot, and the cash flow was cut off and died violently.
Therefore, if the stock price drops by one cent, LeTV's risks will increase exponentially. In extreme cases, even if the company is financially healthy, it will be in trouble.
"What a ruthless move! Does Xie Jingxing have evidence of LeEco's financial problems?"
Ding Mingshan was confused. There were rumors that Xie Jingxing confronted Jia Yueting last night to let the latter know that he was not as rich as he thought.
He simply did what he said. In an instant, hundreds of billions of debts became like a mountain pressing down on people's heads. Even if Mr. Jia sold his ass, he couldn't come up with so much money.
"This kind of thing... who can say for sure now? Sun Hongbin is scared." Old Wang shook his head unconsciously.
Ding Mingshan was speechless for a moment. As brothers of more than ten years, it was obvious that Sun Hongbin was afraid, and Lao Wang was also afraid.
How could a few hundred words bring down a leading GEM stock with a market value of tens of billions? Was what Xie Jingxing sent an administrative document?
But thinking carefully about what was said about Xie Jingxing's background, Ding Mingshan's calves began to tremble a little. What if it really had the force of an official document...
Steel bar electric fence and thin iron wire, anyone can talk without any backache before trying this thing, but who wouldn’t feel confused after touching it?
"The ancients didn't lie to me. Beauty is a disaster that can kill people. The same is true for Lao Xu. It would be fine if someone just teased him by saying a few dirty words, but he took her home and got her pregnant and gave birth to a child. Why would he keep saying such dirty words?"
Ding Mingshan turned around and looked extremely puzzled: "Does Xie Jingxing know any tricks? Will his wife's family allow him to raise an illegitimate child?"
"Why don't you go ask him what moves he has?" Lao Wang asked with a squinting look.
Ding Mingshan immediately stopped talking. Jia Yueting is not yet completely gone, the alarm bells are ringing!
There was silence in the car for a long time. Seeing Zhang Ziyi approaching from a distance outside the car window, Lao Wang let out a long sigh: "Don't worry about it. Delist from Hong Kong stocks. Speed up the process."
"Talk to Xie Jingxing again about the funds needed for privatization!" (End of this chapter)
