My Age of Investment

"Hahaha~, Darren, you gave me a big surprise this time."

As soon as he got out of the car, Blankfein let out a long burst of hearty laughter, then strode forward to shake hands with Xia Jingxing and Yin Fanka respectively.

Looking at the treacherous bald man in front of him, Xia Jingxing did not let down his guard and smiled slightly, "Really? As long as you don't think it's a shock."

The smile on Blankfein's face suddenly froze, his eyes rolled, and then he smiled and said: "Of course not, but if you inform me in advance, I will be happier."

"Sorry, the matter is urgent and I don't have time to do so many actions. But didn't I come to discuss it with you right now?"

After Blankfein's eyes lingered on Xia Jingxing's face for a few seconds, he finally nodded without saying anything more.

Seeing that the atmosphere of the conversation between the two was somewhat abnormal, Yin Fanka quickly stepped forward to smooth things over for Xia Jingxing and invited Blankfein into the room.

Then, Blankfein followed the two men to the beautifully manicured lawn behind the villa.

Several chairs and tables had been set up on the green grass in advance. After Xia Jingxing asked Blankfein to sit down, he asked Yin Fanka to make two cups of coffee and bring them over.

Basking in the sun, drinking delicious coffee, and then enjoying the sea breeze, looking up at the magnificent and boundless Atlantic scenery, Blankfein unconsciously relaxed his mind.

However, he still did not forget the important purpose of his trip. After taking a few sips of coffee, he put the cup down, crossed his legs and asked: "Darren, you asked me today, are you not just creating a surprise for me?" ?”

"The city of New York is too noisy. It's nice to come here to see the scenery and relax."

Blankfein sneered, "I'm not as leisurely as you are. An hour ago, when I was still on the road from Manhattan to Greenwich, my assistant suddenly called me and said that Facebook's stock price collapsed at the opening. 5%, I am completely confused.

Tell me, what do you want to do? Take advantage of the new round of large-scale lifting of Facebook stocks to sell some of them?

No, you can't be that stupid. Let me guess, your real purpose is to put some pressure on Goldman Sachs so that we can side with you when the SEC accuses Envision Capital of fraud? "

"Lalder, you think so bad of me!"

Xia Jingxing took a sip of coffee and said in a calm tone: "I never force my friends, especially a friend who shares the same problem as us."

Belokern smiled and said: "Okay, let's stop talking nonsense. What exactly did you want to talk about when you asked me to come here?"

"Talk about a big deal!"

"Big business? Now that I hear this word, I feel guilty!"

Blank shook his head violently, and then stared at Xia Jingxing with a meaningful look.

Xia Jingxing burst into laughter, knowing very well that the other party wanted to settle the charges for being sued some time ago on Vision Capital, so that they could ask for certain compensation in the subsequent business negotiations.

Compensation can be given, but the momentum cannot be lost, so Xia Jingxing immediately joked: "Then I go to talk to Mai Jinheng?"

Blankfein was very fond of this in the past, but today it was completely out of control. The old man grinned and said: "He will step down as chairman soon and will not cause any further trouble at this juncture."

….Xia Jingxing replied with a bright smile: “He recommended James Gowen to me. We had a great conversation. At the same time, Gowen also promised that in the post-McKenchen era, Morgan Stanley will continue to maintain its relationship with Vision We have a good cooperative relationship with capital to jointly develop the Chinese market and the global financial market that are full of opportunities and challenges."

Blankfein still had a smile on his face, but he cursed countless "damn it" in his heart.

He knew that his expectations were completely disappointed!

Even if Morgan Stanley changes its CEO and chairman, its cooperation with Vision Capital and Darren Xia will not change easily.

As long as the new leader Gao Wen is not stupid, he will definitely continue to choose to win over Darren Xia, not for anything else but for the rich and enviable resources and assets in this kid's hands.

If Morgan Stanley still holds its position, then Goldman Sachs will never be able to monopolize all the business of Xia Jingxing and his business empire.

Under this extremely effective check and balance strategy, he and Goldman Sachs had many concerns when doing things, and had to be careful to push Xia Jingxing completely into the arms of Morgan Stanley.

Thinking of this, Blankfein had to put on a smile and said: "Darren, the services Morgan Stanley provides for Vision Capital are far inferior to Goldman Sachs, as evidenced by the fact that they have not been sued!

Only the person who sits in the dock with you is a true friend who can stand the test! "

"That's right! That's why I chose to see you first."

"So, what is this business you're talking about?"

Looking at Blankfein's expectant eyes, Xia Jingxing slowly uttered one word: "Android!"

Blankfein's spirit suddenly lifted, "Are you going to put Android on the shelves?"

"Why not go public independently?"

"Haha, you should also know that there is some noise in the technology community right now, and everyone is exaggerating the information security and patent issues of Android.

Some people don’t want Android to grow any further because it threatens an Internet giant with a market value of US$200 billion. "

Blankfein paused and said with an enigmatic face: "If you want to break this unfavorable situation, you must have an Internet giant of the same size and with the same number of important shareholders as your backer.

I read Facebook very well!

At the same time, it can also take this opportunity to stabilize a large number of shareholders who are facing a new round of unblocking of stocks, build expectations, and prop up the shaky stock price. "

Blankfein was indeed an old fox, and he guessed Xia Jingxing's thoughts very well.

However, Blankfein only mentioned two birds, "fighting Google" and "boosting the stock price," and did not mention the third bird, "acquiring Goldman Sachs."

Xia Jingxing had no choice but to take the initiative and asked, "I want to hand over this acquisition business to Goldman Sachs. What do you think?"

"Exclusive?" Blankfein has a big appetite and plans to recover some costs from this business for Goldman Sachs, which paid more than $500 million in settlement funds.

"Can!"

Xia Jingxing also gave in a little knowingly. After all, Goldman Sachs' position was there, and he still wanted something from Goldman Sachs.

Blankfein made a mental calculation. In addition to serving as a financial advisor for Facebook's acquisition of Android, Goldman Sachs might also have to issue a batch of bonds for Facebook to raise enough cash for the acquisition. If the two businesses were done together, they would be At least half of the more than $500 million extorted by the SEC can be recovered, which is close to 1% of last year's revenue. Moreover, Android's merger with Facebook will allow Facebook to develop new business growth points and increase the company's stock price. As Facebook shareholders, Goldman Sachs also has great benefits.

.... After thinking for a while, Blankfein readily agreed, "OK, leave this matter to us."

Xia Jingxing smiled and said, "What about the eucalyptus?"

"You still can't trust our credibility at Goldman Sachs?"

"I really can't believe it." Xia Jingxing complained silently in his heart, but still had that iconic smile on his face, "Ari, Hainan Holdings, and Beijing West will be listed on the U.S. stock market in succession, but it all depends on the credibility of Goldman Sachs You protected us."

Blankfein chuckled, how could he not understand Xia Jingxing's hint or threat, nodded and said: "Don't worry, we will never let our customers down.

Moreover, we also hate the SEC and Europe. "

Xia Jingxing laughed loudly, "Then you have to take good care of Fabrice. I heard that someone is introducing him to a new job recently."

Upon hearing this, Blankfein's eyes instantly turned cold. He knew that he had to give Xia Jingxing a satisfactory answer today, so he immediately replied: "This is a family matter of Goldman Sachs, and we will not embarrass our clients."

Xia Jingxing stopped and said no more.

"I heard that you have a conflict with some of our upper-class nobles in New York? Do you need my help to mediate?"

Seeing Blankfein's eagerness to help, Xia Jingxing always felt that this guy had bad intentions or was just here to laugh. He scratched his head helplessly, "No need, I believe there are always a few idiots."

"That's not necessarily the case! Take it easy, don't really make the stage collapse, and we won't be able to sing the show."

"Thanks for reminding!"

“Think of it as a value-added service!”
