American Fortune Life

A brown office building at 85 Broadway, Manhattan, New York, USA. No corporate identity, no company name, and only house number on the doorway. (Real place name, checked for a long time)

Five or two black Cadillac SUVs stopped at one time on the square at the entrance of the building, opened the door, and everyone who got off was dressed in a black suit, holding a black briefcase and a BlackBerry phone, led by Andy, quickly walked into the door.

Contrary to some outside rumors, there are no handmade carpets worth $ 87,000 or $ 5,000 waste bins in the office. This is where the Goldman Sachs Group headquarters is located.

Chairman and CEO Lloyd Blankfein, dressed in a gray suit, a bike-patterned tie, and a large cup of cold coffee, sat in an office on the 30th floor and joked to Pild. "Look, our little genius can't wait."

Pild shrugged and said, "Lloyd, we need his friendship. This is very important. The connection is our long-lasting killer. We are unique in this respect. Andy Smith is only 23 years old. With billions of dollars in wealth and a family background that no one can ignore, this financial turmoil alone can't make the company survive the crisis.

Although Paulson became the Treasury Secretary, in order to uphold higher ethical standards, he not only sold the entire Goldman Sachs shares he held, but also showed that he had avoided close contact with Goldman Sachs management during his tenure.

Relying on lobbying groups and people in the White House alone will not allow Paulson to obtain the moral exemption issued by the White House Counsel and the Treasury, and it will not help us formally and freely.

Even if Andy can't help us, we can't make enemies at this time. The political influence of the Smith family is too great, even if the profit of the Ali shares we sold to him this time does not satisfy everyone. "

Lloyd pursed his lips, got up from the boss's chair, closed the buttons on the suit's jacket, put on his tie, stroked his hair against the mirror, raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's go, don't Let our geniuses be rich and wait forever. "

In the conference room, Andy smiled and shook hands with Goldman Sachs' eo Lloyd under the introduction of Pild with a smile, and the atmosphere was harmonious, but the Chinese ethnicity on the side stood a little cold.

Rabbit Country Wulin City.

The crisp and hasty phone ringing broke the tranquility of 4 am.

"So early, who's calling?"

"Let's go to bed. Calling this time, something seems to be happening ..." Jack Ma said to his wife around him, quickly got out of bed and found out that the phone was picked up.

Hearing the report on the phone, Jack Ma's weird look fell into silence.

"Immediately send the information of Andy Smith and that Li Xiaoying, I immediately turn on the computer, immediately ..."

Jack Ma reluctantly hung up the phone, these foreign devils are really arrogant, did not even inform them in advance of the change in shareholdings, and made a sudden attack?

However, I am grateful for the important role of Goldman Sachs' initial investment in Ali. Goldman Sachs sold Ali shares to three groups of people, which made the board very complicated. Fortunately, his Jack Ma could control the situation.

The e-mail was received soon, and Jack Ma looked at the glowing display, took a deep breath, shook the mouse, and opened the e-mail.

First and foremost, Andy Smith's young and handsome appearance that is very in line with the oriental aesthetics. The young people in the photos are very clear and bright, and they can even see the reflections in their eyes, and their expressions are indifferent and indifferent.

Then looked down, Jack Ma could not help but take a breath, Nima, this is a demon!

He reached for a cigar from the wooden box on the table, and spit out a smoke, lingering around, Jack Ma's eyes were squinting at the details at the back of the data, his eyes became brilliant.

When she saw Li Xiaoying's photos and information, Jack Ma couldn't help but shine. She was a genius beauty with a very beautiful resume. It could represent Andy Smith, a wealthy rich man, as the chief representative and partner of the rabbit country.

It ’s really a headache. My own board is even more lively. Yahoo is considering the interests of Yahoo shareholders. SoftBank is considering the interests of SoftBank shareholders. Only a few of its founders will consider Ali ’s future. It seems that we must find a way to get from Yahoo. I bought back some shares.

There is also the headache of third-party payment issues. Now that Ali has completely become a foreign-owned holding company, the company has made clear after "one by one to communicate with the central bank to verify" that the only reliable way to obtain a license is to transfer foreign capital to domestic capital. But how could the major shareholders of the board agree to harm their own interests? It seems that it is time to make plans.

In the morning, when representatives of major shareholders entered the meeting room, they saw a folder placed at everyone's desk, and Jack Ma, sitting in the first seat, reached out and motioned for everyone to sit.

"I got the news from the United States early this morning. Goldman Sachs sold the last 13% of the shares it held. After 48 or 72 hours, we will welcome new shareholders ..."

Ma Yun ’s words did n’t seem to have caused much response. The representatives sitting there were from large corporate backgrounds, and the information was not bad, especially the representatives of Yahoo. Although they did not express surprise, they did not look very good He knows who is better than anyone, and the big boss behind him is even more famous for his decisiveness. He can do things with integrity and do not dare to do anything. It seems that Ali The board of directors is going to become more lively.

"The document on the table is the detailed information of the equity owner Andy Smith and his representative Li Xiaoying, you can see, I still have that sentence, that sentence from the beginning when you invested in Ali company, you can be a shareholder , But leave nothing to the company! "

Jack Ma looked around for a week with a serious expression, and said coldly, warning and comforting.

Because he saw the sad smile on Yahoo's face and shook his head helplessly.

"Oh, Jack, we all know that you don't need to reiterate that the pattern of strong management of Ali's weak board is agreed by everyone from the beginning. This is also the best plan for Ali's rapid growth. But Jack, still sitting Ladies and gentlemen, this Andy Smith ... how to say, very young, very legendary, and very difficult to do! He has completed a takeover of the dove's nest in the United States. The founders have all been kicked out of the game and have completed 100% control. Of course, although the acquired company is not large, everyone, this one is only 23 years old ... "

The words of the representative of Yahoo let everyone look at each other, Jack Ma has also seen the information on this matter, but now that I heard the process, the pupils can not help but shrink, not because of means, but because of their age. And worry.

"Ladies and gentlemen, just a few days ago, this Mr. Smith successfully negotiated with Morgan Stanley in the bet and took the initiative to give up the profit of 7.2 billion U.S. dollars that he could finally get. The stock compensation plan is now crazy on Wall Street. In addition to not understanding his approach, it is crazy to pursue him as a new wealth myth. Even Warren Buffett frequently asked him to play golf. Andy Smith is not like this information It reads like a billionaire youngster who makes money by writing novels! "

The representative of SoftBank pushed the glasses and agreed to solemnly said: "The Smith family is one of the few political families in the United States that is as famous as Kennedy, Bush and other families. It has a huge influence in Washington and is a century-old family ..."

Everyone in the conference room is not worried about one more shareholder. What is worried is whether this shareholder will get things done. The rabbit country is not the United States. It is difficult to say that Ali's board of directors will be calm in the future.

Manhattan, New York.

"Emily, all the way ..."

"Ivana, thank you for coming to see me. If you have time to find me in the rabbit country, I will take you to visit the only ancient civilization in the world. I think you will fall in love with the rabbit country."

Ivana hugged Li Xiaoying with a smile and nodded in agreement.

"Go to Wulin first and meet Jack Ma and tell him that I, as an investor, can be seen as a financial investor, and we will support him without doubt on the board of directors." Andy said earnestly.

"I understand, I'll pass your words on to Jack Ma, rest assured, boss, then I'm gone."

Li Xiaoying Qiao's face was a little unnaturally flushed. After pulling back her little hand that was tightly held by Andy, she waved goodbye to Ivana, and Yingzi turned brightly and quickly passed the security team with five people.
