American Fortune Life

A brown office building at 85 Broadway in Manhattan, New York, USA. There is no corporate logo, no company name, and only the house number on the wall at the entrance. (Real place name, checked for a long time)

Five taels of black Cadillac SUVs stopped at the square at the entrance of the building, opened the doors, and all the people who got out of the cars were dressed in black suits, holding black briefcases and BlackBerry phones, and led by Andy, walked quickly into the gate.

Contrary to some rumors, there are no $87,000 handmade rugs or $5,000 wastebaskets in the office. This is where Goldman Sachs is headquartered.

Sitting in a 30th-floor office in a gray suit and tie with a bicycle graphic and a mug of cold coffee, chairman and chief executive Lloyd Blankfein jokingly addressed Peard Said: "Look, our little genius can't wait."

Peeld shrugged and said: "Lloyd, we need his friendship. This is very important. The network resources are the trump card of our long-term prosperity at Goldman Sachs. We are already unique in this respect. Andy Smith is only 23 years old. At such an age With billions of dollars of wealth in his hands, and a family background that no one can ignore, Paulson alone cannot make the company survive the financial turmoil.

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

Relying solely on the lobby and people in the White House will not allow Paulson to obtain the moral immunity issued by the White House Counsel and the Treasury Department, so it cannot 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 Ali shares we sold to him this time does not satisfy everyone. "

Lloyd pursed his lips, stood up from the boss chair, closed the suit and buttoned it, straightened his tie, stroked his hair at the temples in the mirror, raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's go, don't Keep our talented billionaires waiting."

In the conference room, Andy shook hands with Lloyd, the CEO of Goldman Sachs, with a smile on his face under Peeld's introduction.

Wulin City, Rabbit Country.

The crisp and rapid ringtone of the phone broke the tranquility at 4 o'clock in the morning.

"It's so early, who's calling?"

"Go to sleep, I called at this time, it seems that something happened..." Jack Ma said to his wife beside him, then quickly got out of bed, found the phone and answered it.

Hearing the report on the phone, the expression on Jackman's weird face fell into silence.

"Send Andy Smith and that Li Xiaoying information right away, I'll turn on the computer right away, right away..."

Jack Ma hangs up the phone helplessly. These foreign devils are really arrogant. They didn't even notify them of the shareholding change in advance. Are they making a surprise attack?

However, I am grateful for the important role of Goldman Sachs’ initial investment in Ali. It’s just that Goldman Sachs sold the shares in Ali to three groups of people, which made the board of directors very complicated. Fortunately, Jack Ma was able to control the situation.

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

The first thing that catches the eye is Andy Smith's young and handsome appearance that is very in line with the oriental aesthetics. The young man's eyes in the photo are very clear and bright, and the reflection in the eyes can even be seen, with a cold and indifferent expression.

Then looking down, Jack Ma couldn't help but gasped, Nima, this is a monster!

He reached out and took out a cigar from the wooden box on the table, lit it, and exhaled a puff of smoke. In the midst of lingering, Jack Ma's eyes narrowed slightly to look at the detailed content behind the information, and his eyes became brilliant.

When he saw Li Xiaoying's photos and information, Jack Ma couldn't help but shine. She is a talented beauty with a beautiful resume. Being able to represent Andy Smith as the chief representative and partner of Rabbit Country is enough to show how powerful this woman is.

What a headache, my own board of directors has become more lively, Yahoo is considering the interests of Yahoo shareholders, Softbank is considering the interests of Softbank shareholders, only the founders of myself will consider the future of Ali, it seems that we must find a way Some shares have been repurchased.

There is also the troublesome third-party payment problem. Now Ali has completely become a foreign-owned holding company. The company has made it clear after "communicating with the central bank one by one for verification" that the only reliable way to obtain a license is from foreign capital to domestic capital. But how could the major shareholders of the board of directors agree to harm their own interests. It seems that it is time to make plans early.

In the morning, when the major shareholder representatives walked into the meeting room, they saw a file folder placed in front of everyone's desk, and Jack Ma, who was sitting in the first seat, stretched out his hand to signal everyone to sit down.

"I got news from the United States in the early hours of this morning that Goldman Sachs sold the last 13% of its shares. After another 48 hours or 72 hours, our Ali will usher in new shareholders..."

Jack Ma's words didn't seem to have caused much reaction. All the representatives sitting here were representatives from big companies. They were not badly informed, especially the representative from Yahoo. Although he didn't express any surprise, his face was not very good-looking. He knows better than anyone else who is here, and the big boss behind him is known for being decisive and ruthless. He can do things with confidence and confidence, and there is nothing he dare not do. It seems that Ali The board of directors is about to get more lively.

"The document on the table is the detailed information of the equity owner Andy Smith and his representative Li Xiaoying. You can take a look. I still say that sentence from the beginning when you invested in Ali Company-you can Be a shareholder, but leave the company alone!"

Jack Ma looked around with a very serious expression, and said in a cold voice, which was a warning and a relief.

Because he saw the wry smile on the Yahoo representative's face and the helpless shaking of the head when he looked at the information.

"Hehe, Jack, we all know that you don't need to reiterate that the structure of Ali's weak board of directors and strong management was agreed by everyone at the beginning. This is also the best plan for Ali's rapid growth. Everyone, this Andy Smith... How should I put it, he is very young, very legendary, and difficult to deal with! He has completed an acquisition case in the United States, from the personal second shareholder, through cannibalization, to the The three founders were all kicked out and completed 100% holding. Of course, although the acquired company is not big, everyone, this one is only 23 years old..."

What the Yahoo representative said made everyone look at each other in blank dismay. Jack Ma also read the information on this matter, but now after hearing about the process, his pupils shrank involuntarily, not because of the means, but because he can do this at this age And feel worried.

"Everyone, just a few days ago, this Mr. Smith successfully negotiated a bet with Morgan Stanley, and voluntarily gave up the 7.2 billion US dollars in profits that could be obtained in the end, and chose the priority of 4 billion in cash plus 700 million US dollars. Stock compensation plan, now Wall Street is crazy, in addition to not understanding his approach, it is crazy to pursue him as a new wealth myth, even Warren Buffett frequently asks him to play golf, and Andy Smith is not like this information According to the above, he is a young billionaire son who earns money by writing novels!"

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

Everyone in the conference room is not worried about one more shareholder, but whether this shareholder will cause trouble. The rabbit country is not the United States. If such a monster is brought in, Ali's board of directors will hardly be peaceful in the future.

Manhattan, New York.

"Bon voyage, Emily..."

"Ivana, thank you for coming to see me off. If you have time, go to the Rabbit Country to find me. 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 smiled and hugged Li Xiaoying, nodded in agreement.

"Go to Wulin first, meet Jack Ma, and tell him that my investor can be regarded as a purely financial investor, and we will support him without any doubt on the board of directors." Andy said with a serious expression.

"I understand, I will convey your words to Jack Ma, don't worry, boss, then I'm leaving."

Li Xiaoying's pretty face was a little unnaturally flushed, and after pulling back her little hand that Andy was holding tightly, she waved goodbye to Ivana, turned around heroically and led the five-person team quickly through the security check.
