by DewdropTL — After returning from the AI Developer Conference, Jing Hong’s attention was once again drawn to "Xindong Media." He and Zhao Hanqing analyzed Qinghui's true underlying motive once more, but they were still entirely at a loss. Because of Zhou Chang's forceful intervention in the Xindong Media acquisition, Jing Hong felt a considerable amount of pressure. He consistently felt a sense of unease. Perhaps precisely because the pressure was somewhat heavy, over the next few days, the frequency with…

by DewdropTL — After watching for a while, Zhou Chang entered through the back door of the venue. Once again, he leaned somewhat lazily against the wooden wall paneling at the very back of the room, gazing at Jing Hong on the stage in the distance. As the speech was drawing to a close, Jing Hong’s assistant, Tan Qian, walked up to Zhou Chang with a phone in hand and politely greeted, "Mr. Zhou." Zhou Chang shifted his gaze from Jing Hong on the stage to Tan Qian beside him, letting out a casual syllable:…

by DewdropTL — The second day of the World Internet Conference quickly drew to a close as well. That evening, Jing Hong did not attend the private dinner hosted by the CEO of "Weilai," choosing instead to fly directly back to Beijing on a commercial flight—and Zhou Chang did the exact same thing. After returning to Beijing, the two occasionally bumped into each other or crossed paths in business skirmishes. First came Fanhai forcing its way into Qinghui’s exclusive deal with the community group-buying app…

by DewdropTL — Before long, the car pulled up in front of Jing Haiping’s villa. Jing Hong put away the two documents he had just finished reviewing, and the driver opened the door. Stepping out, Jing Hong said to the driver, "You can head back first." The driver asked, "Shall I leave the car with you, then?" "No need," Jing Hong said. "Drive it back. Just pick me up at Zhuxiang Qingyun tomorrow morning as usual." This meant he would return to his own home tonight—a flat of over 300 square meters located in…

by DewdropTL — Not long after, a major event occurred on Fanhai's side. "Feichi Motors," an new energy vehicle company that Fanhai had previously invested in, officially launched its first mass-production model. Feichi was currently the best-performing new energy vehicle company in China. Fanhai Group had led its Series A funding round in January 2015, followed by Tiantong Securities leading its Series B in June 2015. In June 2016, it raised another round of funding from investors including Fanhai and IDG. Now,…

by DewdropTL — The second day of the World Internet Conference also passed quickly. On this day, when Jing Hong ran into Zhou Chang again, his demeanor was business as usual. Yet, when the two sat side by side listening to speeches at the main forum, Jing Hong would somehow inexplicably recall that moment they had turned their heads at the exact same time that morning—as if certain subtle emotions were still lingering within the ink landscape paintings of the art museum. At the time, Jing Hong hadn't called out a…

by DewdropTL — After resting for a night, early the next morning, Jing Hong suddenly felt a desire to wander around this historic town he had never visited before. Without having his assistants tag along, Jing Hong left the hotel alone. He had brought four or five people with him for the World Internet Conference this time, but the small town was actually quite large, with the scenic areas split into the West Grid (Xizha) and East Grid (Dongzha). Experiencing all of it would take at least a few hours, yet they were…

by DewdropTL — On the first day of the conference, besides delivering a speech at the main forum, Jing Hong also gave a speech at a sub-forum. Zhou Chang did much the same, except his sub-forum speech was substituted with a sub-forum panel discussion. In the evening, the conference organizers hosted a reception banquet. Jing Hong arrived a bit late, and quite a few people were already seated around several tables. Seeing Jing Hong from afar, the CEO of a certain company immediately stood up, flattering and…

by DewdropTL — Before long, Fanhai announced that it would no longer extend its tender offer, withdrawing from the bidding for Med-Ferry. With Qinghui losing its rival, the progress of the acquisition accelerated significantly. Med-Ferry’s board of directors recommended that shareholders sell their shares to Qinghui and advised them to vote in favor at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Two months later, Med-Ferry’s Extraordinary General Meeting convened as scheduled, where shareholders voted to officially confirm…

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…
