My 1999

Chapter 576 Original Sin

"grateful?"

Xu Liang gave him a mocking look and threw the information on the table.

"Is this how you thank me?!"

The fierce look in his voice made Lu Xiaobo's heart tremble, and he subconsciously took the information.

After a few quick glances, his expression suddenly changed.

"Xu...Mr. Xu, could this be a mistake?"

"Made it wrong? Haha, in order not to accuse you unjustly, I asked Hongyan Fund to repeat the calculation three times, and the results were the same every time. But I didn't expect you to be so bold, let alone so stupid.

It's just a matter of squandering public funds for luxurious enjoyment, but how dare you blatantly ask for bribes from distributors? ! Haha, I really underestimated you.

You should not be in business, but go into politics. At least it is legal to take campaign funds in the United States. "

‘Poof…. ’

Lu Xiaobo suddenly knelt down, his face full of pleading.

"Mr. Xu, I was just confused for a moment. Please give me another chance for the sake of my hard work over the past few years. I will definitely not dare to do it next time. Please, Mr. Xu."

Xu Liang looked at the man kneeling on the ground and swearing, with a stern look on his face.

"If you are just greedy for money, considering your past management of the company, maybe I will really forgive you. But the bad thing is that you actually took advantage of it and colluded with Ellison and the others."

boom.

There was a thunder in Lu Xiaobo's mind.

His face instantly turned pale, and he collapsed on the ground.

"Are you surprised why I know it? Haha, if you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself.

I don’t know how many people in Hanhua’s two funds, Pacific and Blue Dragon, were jealous. In order to compete for a share, they tried every means to please me.

What you did was just used as a gift by them. "

Xu Liang slowly stood up.

"You have been in the United States for so many years, and you should be very clear about the nature of these white people. Black hair and yellow skin are original sins. No matter how hard you try, you will never be able to enter their inner circle.

You...in their eyes are just a chess piece that can be discarded at will! "

She gave him a pitiful look.

"Go and resign yourself and pay back the embezzled money. I don't want to make it too ugly."

Lu Xiaobo's body trembled and he said nothing.

Xu Liang glanced at Huo Gang next to him and left the room.

The latter will oversee Lu Xiaobo's departure.

Now is a critical period for Hongmeng's expansion. Oracle, Google, and even Yahoo are all waiting for him to make mistakes. He doesn't want to distract his precious energy because of a banana man.

"Mr. Xu, they are all here."

"where?"

"Small meeting room."

Xu Liang nodded and walked to the company's small conference room. After opening the door and entering, the people inside quickly stood up and came to greet him.

"Mr. Xu, we meet again."

The bearded Bern Calderon, head of Goldman Sachs' mergers and acquisitions department, came up to him with a smile.

Behind him are Dimitri Coy, head of mergers and acquisitions at Citigroup, and Julio Winter, head of mergers and acquisitions at JPMorgan Chase.

After everyone said hello, they each sat down.

Lu Hui closed the door and the room became quiet.

"Three of you, you are all smart people. You must know why I brought you here." Xu Liang said.

The three of Calderon exchanged glances.

"Mr. Xu, although the original contract stated that if the acquisition of MGM fails within three months, we will return half of the shares, the failure of MGM is not entirely our responsibility. Your disposal, and even many external All factors are triggers.”

Xu Liang rolled his eyes, "Do you want to break the contract?"

"NO, NO, we have absolutely no intention of breaching the contract." Calderon waved his hand.

Just kidding, once they default, they will not only lose their shares, but they will not even get back the money they invested.

"Xu, although the acquisition of MGM has temporarily failed, MGM has not been acquired by others. It still has the opportunity to be acquired by Hongmeng..."

Xu Liang waved his hand and interrupted him, "Mr. Calderon, is this the feedback you gave me?"

"Of course not, this is just our suggestion. I heard that Mr. Xu encountered obstacles in acquiring the South Korean chip company Hynix, and we can provide some help."

Seeing that the fire was almost done, Xu Liang took out the prepared documents and distributed them to the three of them one by one.

The three people picked it up and took a look, and their expressions suddenly changed.

Dimitru Coy looked complicated.

"I didn't expect Mr. Xu to hide it from everyone!"

They were really surprised.

After GE reached an agreement with Vivendi, everyone felt that Hongmeng had given up on the acquisition of Vivendi Global.

But look at this contract where GE sold Universal Pictures, Universal Music Group and Universal Studios to Hongmeng. Apparently, GE reached an agreement with Hongmeng before it acquired Vivendi Global.

The two companies shared the huge Vivendi Global according to their respective needs.

Of course, there must be other transactions in the middle, otherwise the huge GE would not hand Vivendi Global's most valuable asset to Hongmeng.

But no matter how the other party deals, Hongmeng has now achieved his goal without concealing the truth.

Next is the legal review.

"Hongmeng is developing very fast and has attracted a lot of hostility. In order for the acquisition to be successful, I had to prepare early."

Julio Winter said: "Mr. Xu would like to ask us to help pass the review of the US Trade Commission and the Department of Legal Affairs?"

"That's right. As long as Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan DA Pass and Citigroup can help me accomplish this, the MGM acquisition contract will be invalidated and Hongmeng's shares will still belong to you." Xu Liang said directly.

The expressions of the three people changed. They guessed that Xu Liang would be like this.

"Mr. Xu, this is very difficult." Julio Winter said.

"Is it more difficult than making six billion US dollars?" Xu Liang said calmly.

The three jointly own a total of 12% of Hongmeng Technology Company's equity. According to Hongmeng's current valuation, it is worth more than six billion US dollars.

Julio Winter's expression changed slightly.

Of course they are reluctant to part with six billion dollars.

"Mr. Xu, what Winter means is that of course we will try our best for Hongmeng, but the acquisition of Universal Entertainment assets involves too much money and has a great impact, but the three of us cannot be foolproof.

We hope you can join us in making this happen. "

"Of course. Hongmeng is my company, and of course I have to contribute."

Xu Liang waved his hand, and Lu Hui took three more documents and distributed them to the three of them.

"I plan to hold a cocktail party, and these are the people I plan to invite. The three of them have extensive connections in the upper class of the United States. If you know any of them, you might as well send the invitations and invite me by the way."

The three of them looked at the list in their hands.

A key member of the U.S. Trade Commission.

Principal officer of the U.S. Department of Justice.

Shareholder and CEO of mainstream media in the United States.

Wall Street financial giant.

The heads of various departments of the U.S. government.

Influential members of the House of Representatives and Senate.

There are hundreds of people, each with extraordinary influence. If they are invited, Xu Liang will be able to acquire Universal Entertainment, not to mention two or three Universal Entertainment.

The three looked at each other and Calderon asked.

"Mr. Xu, these people are indeed of great help to Hongmeng's acquisition of Universal Entertainment, but under what name do you plan to invite them?"

Xu Liang smiled faintly, "Qinglong No. 1 Fund and Pacific No. 1 Fund are about to be liquidated. I will hold a final summary meeting and lay the foundation for future fund-raising."

After a pause, he looked at the three of them.

"I think this reason should be enough."

"It is indeed enough. As the two best-performing funds in the world in 2002 and 2003, no one can refuse Hanhua." Calderon said.

"So our interests are aligned?" Xu Liang said with a smile.

“As shareholders of Hongmeng, our interests are inherently aligned.”

After everyone looked at each other and smiled, this brief meeting was considered a success.

After watching everyone leave, Huo Gang walked over.

"Brother Liang, is he gone?"

"Send two men to follow him."

Although Lu Xiaobo has become a lost dog, Xu Liang still wants to see if he can get some information about Ellison's gang from this person out of caution.

"Um."

"Lu Hui, let us inform you that Alan Adham, vice president of Hongmeng Games and head of Qiangliang Game Studio (Blizzard), will serve as president of Hongmeng's North American subsidiary."

"OK."

The performance of Blizzard's "Warcraft III" is too dazzling. From its release on July 1 to now, in less than half a year, more than 10 million discs have been sold, and the revenue alone has exceeded 800 million US dollars.

Including peripheral income, it has exceeded 1.4 billion US dollars in half a year.

The outstanding results overshadowed the popular "Legend" in China.

"Legend" has been vigorously promoted by Hongmeng, especially with the supplement of the Southeast Asian market, and the revenue in the first half of the year has only exceeded 1.7 billion Huaxia coins, which is less than 300 million US dollars.

Such a dazzling achievement should be rewarded based on merit, and the general manager of Blizzard should be promoted to a higher level.

——

Soon, the news that Xu Liang was preparing to hold a cocktail party at the manor spread among the upper class in the United States.

People who know the two funds, Qinglong and Pacific, are trying their best to participate in this gluttonous feast.

Unfortunately, the number of people Xu Liang invited was limited, and only more than a hundred people got the invitation letter.

Only one female companion is allowed per person.

Therefore, the size of the entire meeting will not exceed 300 people.

Unable to avoid requests from all sides, Xu Liang simply turned off his work phone.

As for the company, work emails will be sent specifically to his mailbox, so there is no need to worry about delays.

"Huh?"

Xu Liang saw the content in the mailbox and quickly took out his mobile phone to call.

The call was answered quickly.

"Mr. Xu?"

"Junrui, has Android acquired the company?"

"Yes. The contract just signed yesterday, 90% was purchased for US$35 million, and the remaining 10% was reserved for all technical personnel.

And according to your request, we signed a confidentiality contract and a three-year non-competition agreement. "

"well-done."

Xu Liang praised.

I also felt relieved.

Holding Android is equivalent to holding the ticket to the mobile Internet era.

Coupled with the research carried out by Hongmeng in advance.

He was finally relieved.

The two chatted for a while and then hung up the phone.

Xu Liang frowned slightly, the follow-up processing of Android also needs to be considered.
