by DewdropTL — Following that, the negotiation progress for the Kunpeng-Huawei merger suddenly accelerated. Qinghui and Huawei secured the CEO position, while Fanhai and Kunpeng locked down absolute veto power along with several other strategic concessions. For instance, the joint company would be named "Kunpeng-Huawei" rather than "Huawei-Kunpeng." Furthermore, the post-merger equity distribution was adjusted slightly in Kunpeng's favor rather than a flat 50:50 split—a deliberate move designed to create the…

by DewdropTL — At the exact same time Fanhai was being shorted by major institutions, Jing Tianping’s "Tianping Supermarket" was truly divorcing itself from Fanhai. Fanhai first acquired Xianglong Live from Qinghui. Afterwards, because Jing Bo resolutely opposed the merger agreement with Xianglong, Jing Hong had no choice but to liquidate his shares in Wujie during a new round of financing—completely "abandoning" Wujie to foster Xianglong instead, just as he had discussed back then. Jing Bo’s choice was not…

by DewdropTL — The following day, Jing Hong made a discreet trip to Germany. Feichi Auto, an EV manufacturer backed by Fanhai, was set to challenge the production-EV lap record on a famous circuit. The track had once hosted F1 races, but due to its inherently dangerous nature—frequent accidents earned it the nickname "Green Hell"—and a length exceeding 20 kilometers, it was eventually removed from the F1 calendar, with Formula 1 relocating to an adjacent circuit. Nevertheless, with its sprawling distance and an…

by DewdropTL — On the day of the negotiations, Jing Hong followed his original schedule and headed to a remote village first. Fanhai had previously launched an educational public welfare initiative. The company donated a massive amount of hardware equipment pre-installed with dedicated educational software to impoverished and remote areas. Through this software, children in these distant regions could directly attend live lectures by top-tier educators—all retired teachers carefully selected by "Fanhai Education"…

by DewdropTL — Fanhai was caught in a cascading series of crises—getting shorted by Wall Street, investigated by the SEC, dumped by major shareholders, tangled in Weilai’s "sudden shift in accounting standards," and embroiling itself in a dispute with Tianping Supermarket... One wave had barely subsided before another crested. These crises were intricately linked, impacting one another like a falling line of dominoes; if one piece toppled, the entire structure risked collapsing. Resolving such a deadlock required…

by DewdropTL — In that evening’s conference call, Jing Hong responded to the current crisis on behalf of Fanhai Group to major brokerage firms. First, Jing Hong took a firm stance, much like his father, Jing Haiping. He stated that Fanhai and Qinghui were engaged in benign competition and that blocking external links was solely done to protect users. Since Fanhai Group could not guarantee the content of those external videos, restricting links was a risk-averse strategy. He noted that Qinghui’s products had always…

by DewdropTL — There is an old saying: "Before one wave subsides, another rises." There is another saying: "Blessings rarely come in pairs, but misfortunes never come singly." Before the troublesome matter with Jing Tianping and "Wujie Live" could even be settled, Fanhai Group encountered yet another round of short selling on NASDAQ. The short sellers "borrowed" a massive amount of Fanhai Group shares to sell first, intending to buy them back at real-time market prices and return them after an expected sharp drop…

by DewdropTL — Over the next few weeks, Jing Hong spoke with Jing Tianping twice more—once on Jing Hong's initiative, and the other on Jing Tianping's—yet they still failed to reach an agreement. The occasion Jing Hong initiated was a round of golf at an upscale club, but they didn't come to terms on business. Instead, a college senior nearby recognized Jing Hong as a so-called "mogul" and actually handed over his resume. Jing Hong actually liked people who knew how to seize opportunities, so he had the company's…

by DewdropTL — On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Jing Hong made an appointment to have dinner with his eldest uncle to talk things over, and his uncle reserved a room at a Japanese restaurant. The restaurant enjoyed a solid reputation. Inside, it was filled with expertly crafted artificial cherry blossom trees—though the petals were remarkably lifelike. Small private dining rooms were arranged on both sides of the corridor, their ceilings left open so diners inside could look up at the "cherry blossoms." The…
