After the private meeting with Lin Huayin, Xiao Zheng called the core team for an office meeting before he got off work. The previous battles were focused on the present. And this battle was focused on the future. Once they made a mistake, they would lose the battle. Three to five years later, Xin Ao's advantage would be gone. It might even be pushed to the bottom.
This was the business world. Delaying the battle would cause devastating damage.
It wasn't until eight at night that Xiao Zheng chased everyone out of the office with a splitting headache. Just as he was about to drink a cup of tea to calm himself down, his phone rang.
He picked it up and saw that it was Hu Yishan.
Xiao Zheng had expected Hu Yishan to call him today, but it was a bit later than he had expected. He wondered if his brain had gone haywire from playing with women. Or if he was drunk and only realized it now.
"Xiao Zheng. I'll be waiting for you at the club. It's an emergency, please come immediately! "
Hu Yishan's tone was a bit unfriendly. There was even a hint of resentment.
Xiao Zheng knew that this was Hu Yishan's true feelings after he was forced into a passive position. It was also his anger towards the difficult situation he was in.
After hanging up, Xiao Zheng greeted Old Lin who was in the office and drove straight to Hu Yishan's club.
It was past dinner time, but Xiao Zheng had been busy the whole afternoon and didn't even have a hot meal. He drank a lot of water and was full.
He entered the private room with a hungry stomach. Xiao Zheng had planned to let Hu Yishan ask him questions without saying a word. He wanted to eat first before thinking of other plans. But as soon as he entered the room, Xiao Zheng's expression changed.
It wasn't that Hu Yishan was furious and scolded Xiao Zheng for being as cunning as a fox. It was that not only Hu Yishan was present, but Tang Qingshan and Dong Bijun were also present.
Ever since the last time they met, the four of them never ate at the same table. Tang Qingshan would occasionally come, but Dong Bijun never showed up. It was obvious that she hated this kind of dinner.
But tonight, Dong Bijun showed up again. It was obvious that Tang Qingshan thought it was necessary for her to show up.
Moreover, looking at the atmosphere at the dining table, everyone's faces were gloomy. Even Hu Yishan, who was usually cheerful, had a grave expression on his face. When he looked at Xiao Zheng, there was a hint of hostility in his eyes.
"You're all here."
After a brief daze, Xiao Zheng greeted him naturally. Then, he picked a quiet spot and sat down. He first asked the waiter to serve a bowl of rice, then he picked up a glass of wine and said apologetically, "There was a traffic jam on the way, so I'm late. I'll punish myself with a cup. "
With that, he drained the cup in one gulp. Then, he took the rice from the waiter. Mixing it with a bowl of shark fin in front of him, he wolfed it down like a tornado.
He ate two bowls of rice and two bowls of shark fin. A roasted pigeon. Only then did Xiao Zheng fill his five viscera temple. He lit a cigarette with a click and looked at Hu Yishan's face. "Brother Hu. Did something big happen for you to call me over in such a hurry? "
Xiao Zheng had learned how to play the fool from all the big shots. He had learned a thing or two about it. As long as he did not put a knife to his neck, Xiao Zheng planned to be stubborn until the end. Moreover, even if someone put a knife to Xiao Zheng's neck, they might not be able to hurt him.
"Xiao Zheng. You're so hungry. You must be very busy, right? "Hu Yishan said in a low voice. "Is there anything you want to reveal to me?"
"Reveal what?" Xiao Zheng blinked his eyes and said with a smile.
"Xiao Zheng. That's too much, isn't it? "Hu Yishan's expression darkened. "Since we're partners, you shouldn't be hiding things from me and acting on your own, right?"
Xiao Zheng pretended to be innocent and said in surprise, "Brother Hu. I really don't understand what you're talking about. What am I hiding from you? "
"Humph." Tang Qingshan, who was sitting on the side, snorted and said calmly. "Boss Xiao. I heard that Xin Ao is building a financial services department this afternoon? "
Xiao Zheng came to a realization and said with a smile, "Boss Tang, you're really well-informed. It only happened in the afternoon, how did it reach your ears so quickly? "
After a pause, Xiao Zheng added, "This matter has indeed passed through Xin Ao's executive meeting. It's also being prepared today. Is there a problem? "
The atmosphere immediately became oppressive.
Is there a problem?
This is a big problem!
The Lin family invested hundreds of billions to build an internet financial services department. While the news was still hidden, Xin Ao had already started to build a financial services department. What was the meaning of this? If they didn't receive the news beforehand, why didn't they inform Hu Yishan right away?
Since they knew, why didn't they inform Hu Yishan as soon as possible? They're allies. They're fighting against the Lin family together. Why didn't they share such important information?
Obviously, Xiao Zheng purposely hid it because he wanted to have the information advantage in this tripartite confrontation.
After all, Jufeng Network was a financial services industry. And it already had a firm foothold. It could even be said to be the biggest magnate in the internet industry. Although it hadn't formed an oligopoly yet, Jufeng Network would definitely be able to gain enough market share in the future.
However, the situation was different now.
The Lin family and Xin Ao Group entering the financial services industry at the same time had disrupted Hu Yishan's entire plan. He even felt that it wasn't Jufeng Network and Xin Ao Group fighting against the Lin family. It was Lin Laoyao teaming up with Xiao Zheng to play a trick on him!
Was Lin Laoyao sick in the head?
Fitbit Platform was still in its infancy, why didn't you focus on making the shopping platform bigger and stronger? Don't you know that the biggest killer of financial services is the users? You haven't even won over the users, what can you do?
Of course, having said that, the Lin family's powerful financial resources were enough to make Hu Yishan feel scared.
Also, different from Fitbit Platform, Tang Qingshan warned Hu Yishan that the Lin family was coming at him aggressively in the financial services industry and would definitely take over the market.
Plus, Xin Ao Group suddenly announced the establishment of a financial services department. Hu Yishan felt like he was being attacked from both sides!
At first, Hu Yishan was wary of the Lin family's Fitbit Platform, but he didn't think too much about it. After all, the shopping platform's structure was basically stable. There wouldn't be any big changes. However, the sudden appearance of the New Olympiad Village completely stunned Hu Yishan. Therefore, he quickly teamed up with Xin Ao to forcefully stop the expansion of Fitbit Platform. Their goal was to use Xin Ao and the Lin family to check and balance each other. To prevent them from expanding the situation.
It seemed like he played a good hand and killed the threat in the cradle. However, no one expected that just as he was secretly excited about his brilliant plan. Xin Ao Lin family suddenly announced that they would enter the financial services industry. It seemed that the shopping platform was just a whetstone for them and they didn't plan to dig deeper —
This time, Hu Yishan completely panicked.
He also seriously suspected that Xiao Zheng had ulterior motives in cooperating with him and that he had already been in cahoots with the Lin family. Otherwise, how could they have such a tacit understanding?
"Xiao Zheng. Personally, I suggest you give up on the financial services department. You won't be able to play in this area. "Hu Yishan revealed a ferocious expression. He was no longer the kind big brother who called Xiao Zheng brother.
