My 1999

"Ask. If you are optimistic about it, I will distribute BYAT's information to other fund managers. If they are willing, they can also invest a little bit."

"Are you trying to repay others with your generosity towards me?"

“We’re all from the company, so when we make money, why don’t you get the lion’s share?

Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore and let me ask you something.

Unocal Oil Company, you really don't want it? "

Xu Liang came to his senses in an instant, "Why, is there a big organization ready to join the competition?"

"Yeah. You had expected it before."

"Hua Haiyou?"

After Jiang Xiaoyang agreed, "Liu Bo, the president of Huahai Oil, hopes to meet you."

"Why are we meeting? Let's talk about it. If I don't want to, they can give up?"

"What are you thinking about? They just see that you are doing well now, and they don't want to offend you, so I just told you before participating in the bidding."

"Forget it. My time is precious, there is no need to waste it eating and drinking with him.

Just reply for me and say I understand.

Let them do whatever they want. "

"knew."

Jiang Xiaoyang changed the subject.

"The Forbes World's Richest List will be out in a few days. Where do you think you can rank?"

"It can't be number one anyway, the rest doesn't matter." Xu Liang said.

"How do you know you're not number one?

Based on the current valuation of Hongmeng and Hanhua, the combined value is at least more than 100 billion US dollars.

Although they are not listed now, there is no way to know the specific number of shares you hold, but with the power of Forbes, it is probably possible to check.

Not to mention assets including Master Kong and Taihua.

First is a breeze. "

Xu Liang smiled and said: "If this was before 2001, it might still be possible.

But now?

No matter how much money I had, I probably wouldn't be number one on Forbes' list of the world's richest people. "

"Why?"

"It's very simple. The richest people in the world now must be Americans." Xu Liang said with a smile.

"911?"

Jiang Xiaoyang also came from Northern Qing Dynasty and was a top talent who studied in the Ivy League in the United States in the 1990s.

It didn't take long to guess why.

"911 was a huge turning point in all aspects of American politics and economy." Xu Liangdao.

Before 9/11, the United States was the undoubted leader in the world, and Americans' self-confidence had reached its peak.

I am the boss in the world, I can do whatever I want.

As a result, Bin Laden had a big fight.

boom.

It directly brought the old American back to reality.

Although soldiers are now rampant in the Middle East, the pain of 911 will not subside in a short time.

Especially these two years have been the most sensitive years for the United States.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for him to reach the top of the Forbes list of the world's richest people, a list with huge publicity value.

Otherwise someone will definitely think about it.

Has the United States really entered a period of recession?

Only when 911 is completely a thing of the past, or when the United States needs him as a target to play with colors, will he be allowed to go up.

"Are you thinking too much?"

"Whether I'm thinking too much, I'll know in a few days."

Jiang Xiaoyang nodded, and the two chatted for a few more words before hanging up the phone.

In fact, there is one more thing that Xu Liang didn’t say.

Many of his assets, including Hanhua, Hongmeng, Master Kong, Taihua, Hynix, Global Travel, etc., have been transferred to the trust.

It is no longer considered his personal asset.

It is the assets of the Xu family.

The Forbes list of the world's richest people has lowered his wealth, which is reasonable.

After all, the richest family in the world will definitely not be in his turn, and whether he can even enter the top ten is a question.

hang up the phone.

Looking at the little girl who was listening obediently with her ears raised, Xu Liang smiled slightly and subconsciously lowered his head to take the crystal clear jade ears in his mouth.

"Oh, Brother Xu, you..."

"You are so beautiful, I couldn't hold it back for a moment."

The corners of Liu Qianqian's mouth curled up slightly with joy in her heart.

Thinking of the phone call just now, I couldn't help raising my pretty face and saying anxiously.

"Brother Xu, can I meet the sister who called?"

"Why do you suddenly want to see her?"

"My mother said that I can no longer act and have to learn how to run a company from her, so I want to learn from Sister Jiang."

Seeing her evasive expression, Xu Liang smiled secretly.

This little girl is really not good at lying at all.

It may be a bit of learning to run a company, but more of it is curiosity about Jiang Xiaoyang.

As a person close to Xu Liang, although this girl is young, she is very smart.

Naturally, one can feel the extraordinary relationship between Jiang Xiaoyang and him.

Out of concern for her love rival, she subconsciously wanted to know more about him.

Xu Liang smiled and said, "Do you like running a company?"

"Like it."

Apparently she wasn't sure either.

He smiled and cut her straight nose.

"to be honest."

"Oh, Brother Xu. I don't know if I like it or not. I won't know until I try it."

“Then when you feel better, try it with Auntie.

If you like it, try to do it well.

Forget it if you don’t like it, as long as I’m here, both you and our future children will be rich and glorious. "

"Um."

The little girl nodded, hugged the man's thick body tightly, leaned her head against his chest, and listened to the drum-like heartbeat, feeling a strong sense of security lingering in her heart.

At this moment, she really wished that time would stop like this.

——

Looking at the scenery outside the window that was quickly receding, Ma Yun looked a little anxious.

Cai Zhongxin next to him saw it and smiled.

"Are you worried that Xu Liang would not agree?"

Facing the most trusted partner, Ma Yun nodded.

"Hedge funds and private equity funds under Hanhua began to sell off Yahoo's stocks and bonds last year, and this trend continues this year.

It can be seen that Xu Liang is not optimistic about Yahoo's future.

Now we want to acquire Yahoo China, he will definitely not agree.

And our goal of acquiring Yahoo is to develop search business with its huge traffic and divert traffic to Alibaba and Taobao.

Internet search happens to be the foundation of Hongmeng.

If I were in Xu Liang's position, I would definitely suppress the powerful competitor "Ali" at all costs."

At the end, especially when the words "at all costs" and "powerful" appeared, his words revealed a strong sense of pride and confidence.

Cai Zhongxin nodded, "So this time, it can be regarded as a desperate move."

Ma Yun's expression suddenly became solemn.

Although Xu Liang holds 49.99% of Alibaba's shares, he holds half of the voting rights.

Alibaba has not suffered too much loss, and he has not left Alibaba.

So this part of the voting rights cannot be taken back by Xu Liang.

In addition to the management's shareholding, his voting rights exceed Xu Liang's.

Even if the latter does not agree with Alibaba's acquisition of Yahoo China, he can force the acquisition resolution through a board vote.

But this also means completely breaking up with Xu Liang.

Falling out with a business tycoon who is the third richest man in the world, controls world-class companies such as Hongmeng and Hanhua, and recently swallowed up Delong, the largest private industrial group in China.

This pressure is too great.

Compared with the famous corporate giants under his control, Alibaba is now like a baby who has just learned to walk, and it is simply incomparable.

So even if he is confident, he still feels panic in his heart.

Take a deep breath.

"No matter how difficult this step is, we have to take it."

Cai Zhongxin nodded in agreement.

Just when he was feeling heavy in his heart, Ma Yun changed the subject.

"Let's test Xu Liang's attitude this time. If he really disagrees, let's not force it."

"Hmm?"

Cai Zhongxin turned his head doubtfully, and a familiar cunning flashed in his old friend's eyes.

"Acquiring Yahoo China is not just our business. Doesn't Yang Zhiyuan also want to take the opportunity to get rid of this burden and exchange it for Alibaba's equity?

In this case, we can't just let us take the lead while they watch the fun on the side."

Cai Zhongxin's eyes lit up, "I heard that Yang Zhiyuan and Xu Liang have a good relationship.

The two of them once joined forces to deal with Google's expansion in the search field.

With this foundation, his persuasion of Xu Liang will definitely be more effective than ours."

"I think so too." Ma Yun looked at the busy urban area of ​​​​Mo City in front of him, and said in a faint tone, "I just don't know what Xu Liang's attitude is?"

"I believe he will still pay great attention to self-cultivation."

Cai Zhongxin said.

Ma Yun nodded, and when he thought of the other party's unimaginably sturdy and strong physique, he couldn't help but envy him.

"A businessman who schemes every day looks like a fighter."

As a loyal martial arts fan.

He likes Xu Liang's physique too much.

After the car turned a few streets, the view in front of him was wide.

All the high-rise buildings disappeared, leaving only lush, neatly arranged roadside trees and obviously short and old buildings.

After the car drove forward for a while, it stopped outside a dark and heavy iron gate.

"Mr. Ma, we're here."

The secretary in the co-pilot seat said.

"Go and call the door."

The secretary was about to get out of the car.

The heavy iron gate slowly opened to both sides.

A smooth asphalt road that was obviously renovated appeared in front of him.

On both sides of the asphalt road were green belts piled with holly, and on the periphery were green grass and tall camphor trees.

From the thick tree trunks, it was obvious that they had been there for many years.

Four security guards wearing black coats, with sturdy figures and serious expressions, appeared on both sides of the iron gate and made a gesture of invitation.

"Let's go in."

After Ma Yun finished speaking, the driver drove along the asphalt road into the manor.

Then, every twenty meters or so, you can see the elite security guards responsible for vigilance.

"I heard that Xu Liang attaches great importance to security. I thought it was just a rumor, but now it seems to be true." Cai Zhongxin said.

Ma Yun nodded. He found that compared with the last time he met Xu Liang, the security around him had been improved.

But he could understand Xu Liang.

If he were in the other party's position, it would be the same, or even better.

Competition in business is never just the business methods seen on the surface.

There are countless swords and shadows in secret.

If you are not careful, you will give your opponent a head.

The group soon came to a small parking lot that can park eight cars.
