Following Jing Hong's instruction, Zhao Hanqing simply replied, "We'll think about it," "We're still considering it," and "We need a little more time." After stalling for a while, Jing Hong finally felt that the timing was just about right. Jing Hong asked President Shen of Goldman Sachs to act as a middleman, saying he wanted to arrange a…

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 — After arriving at the hotel, Jing Hong realized that neither he nor Zhou Chang had chosen the official hotel. Instead, by coincidence, they had both checked into a different one. The hotel they selected was located at the intersection of the two rivers, boasting an exceptional view. It had only two luxury suites, both on the top floor; Fanhai and Qinghui had each booked one, so their suites were right next to each other. After sleeping a night at the hotel, Jing Hong left early the next morning to…

by DewdropTL — After returning to Beijing from Hungary, the fierce rivalry between Fanhai and Qinghui raged on. Regarding a certain group-buying product, Jing Hong suddenly shifted his strategy: Fanhai announced it would abandon the traditional, ubiquitous "Spend X, Get Y Off" model in favor of a cash-back approach. For instance, a coupon that previously offered "¥20 off on orders over ¥200" became "Spend ¥200, Get ¥20 Cash Back" on the new platform. Merchants could process it with a single click, and a portion of…

by DewdropTL — The next day, when Jing Hong woke up, the daylight outside was already bright. The curtains weren't drawn, and as Jing Hong opened his eyes, he winced from the direct sunlight piercing through. At first, Jing Hong didn't realize this wasn't his suite, even turning over to squint for a few more minutes. Only after several minutes did something feel off, making him snap awake. Scattered fragments of his drunken night drifted to the surface of his mind. Jing Hong sat bolt upright, unable to believe…

by DewdropTL — That evening, when Jing Hong returned "home," Zhou Chang was already waiting for him. For some inexplicable reason, the moment Jing Hong laid eyes on Zhou Chang, his heart settled a fraction more. Perhaps it was because the man was his lover; perhaps it was because, amidst the storm of recent events, they found themselves allies once again. When Zhou Chang opened the door, Jing Hong did not enter right away. He simply stood at the threshold, looking up at Zhou Chang. Zhou Chang was in no rush…

by DewdropTL — After Jing Hong came to a stop, the elevator rose quickly and smoothly, finally coming to a halt at the top floor. Zhou Chang's assistant gestured with a "this way, please," letting Jing Hong exit the elevator first, and then led him all the way to the innermost general manager's office in the building. Many CEOs of large American companies didn't even have private offices, working instead out of cubicles. Although Zhou Chang had studied and worked in the US for many years, he was clearly not quite that…

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 — Throughout the entire morning after parting ways, Jing Hong and Zhou Chang were separated. Zhou Chang attended a sub-forum on cloud computing, while Jing Hong attended another. They met again when having lunch in the hotel restaurant. This time, each brought several subordinates and sat at separate tables. They only glanced at each other from a distance, neither greeting the other. The hotel served Western food for lunch. Zhou Chang realized that during the meal, his gaze unconsciously drifted…

by DewdropTL — It was 8:30 PM. After wrapping up his final video conference of the evening with a partner, Jing Hong checked his watch and knew it was time to head out. His appointment with Zhou Chang was set for nine o'clock. Since he was going over to Zhou Chang’s place tonight, Jing Hong didn't bother having his driver wait, planning instead to drive himself over. Closing his laptop, Jing Hong stood up and tidied his desk. Finally, he picked up his keys and phone, illuminating the screen as he walked, only to…
