Blankfein hurriedly expressed his thoughts, and then quietly waited for Xia Jingxing's reply.

What he didn't expect was that Xia Jingxing didn't agree with him immediately, but said in a somewhat teasing tone: "Acting is no problem, how should I pay the appearance fee?"

"Dylan, we are here to do something for you."

"I know this. You don't need to remind me. The key problem now is that you failed to fulfill your obligations and brought trouble to me."

Blankfein held back from yelling, he felt like he was being tricked by Xia Jingxing again.

Although Goldman Sachs, as the financial consultant hired by Xia Jingxing, is required to undertake a series of obligations such as due diligence, negotiation, and price bargaining, this does not mean that Xia Jingxing, the employer, can completely stay out of the matter.

In particular, this business is not simple. It is a previous transaction made by Xia Jingxing and Blankfein in response to the "Goldman Sachs fraud" and related derivatives. It can be regarded as hush money paid by Xia Jingxing to Goldman Sachs in exchange for Goldman Sachs' interest in Vision Capital. support.

It was originally a deal that everyone was happy with, but once he got involved, Blankfein realized that it was really difficult to take advantage of Xia Jingxing.

"Daerun, let's terminate our cooperation! I'm so tired!"

When he said this, Blankfein felt a sense of relief. I love so and so, and will never cooperate with a shameless person like Xia Jingxing again.

"Haha, Lord, don't be like this, I was just joking with you.

How do I need to cooperate? Just ask. "

Hearing Xia Jingxing's relenting words, Blankfein's hurt heart felt a little better, and then he said in a sinister tone: "You don't need to do much. I just want to trouble you, the King of Wall Street, to make a phone call and then show up." Just leave the rest to us."

"Okay, who to call?"

"Just call Bill Gates and meet with him."

…

After hanging up Blankfein's call, Xia Jingxing spread his hands towards Lu Qi, who was sitting opposite him, "Did you hear that? What a world, people are so picky about the things they sell. It really offends me, why don't you do it?" sold!"

Lu Qi smiled bitterly. From the bottom of his heart, he was absolutely unwilling to sell Android at such a low price. After all, he had contributed to the development and growth of this company, and at the same time, it had not yet shown its maximum value.

However, the situation in the United States is complicated and they cannot hold gold through the market.

After pondering for a while, Lu Qi said: "Facebook is still very sincere. The main reason is that we can't agree on the price. Especially in recent months, Facebook's stock price has dropped a lot, and the stock exchange acquisition will cost a lot." loss."

"I allow them to buy them all in cash!"

"Facebook doesn't have that much cash on its books, so it can only choose to issue some additional equity."

Speaking of this, Lu Qi paused and told Xia Jingxing a piece of gossip he had learned: "I heard that some shareholders of Facebook have strong opinions on you and think that you deliberately let Vision Capital sell shares in the past few months. Suppress Facebook’s stock price, and then force Android onto Facebook when the stock price enters a low period.”

Xia Jingxing had heard similar rumors before, so he immediately became furious, "When the hell did I force myself into this?"

"In their view, you just want to take advantage of Facebook, so this is also a big reason why the negotiations have not been going smoothly."

Xia Jingxing was silent. It was fine now. When the yellow mud fell into his crotch, it was either shit or shit.

If he were one of those shareholders who opposed the acquisition of Android, he would probably think that the stock selling behavior of Envision Capital a few days ago was a big conspiracy.

I thought it would be easy to sell Android, but now it seems that it does require careful planning.

"What do you think of Blankfein's proposed plan?"

Lu Qi smiled and said: "It's not good to sell Android to Facebook. We should give other friends a chance."

Xia Jingxing nodded lightly. It was time to suppress the arrogance of the Facebook group. Who said Android must be sold to Facebook? Those people are too self-righteous.

But it seems difficult to invite Bill Gates to participate in this drama, right?

After he and Bill Gates had a disagreement some time ago, they never talked on the phone again, and the boat of friendship capsized at the drop of a hat.

"Let me think of another way!"

Xia Jingxing didn't really want to ask Bill Gates for help, and he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

The main reason is that in his heart, Android will definitely not be sold to Microsoft in the end, no matter how high the price Gates pays.

He went to negotiate with Gates in a really fake way, letting him be a tool, and in the end sold Android to Facebook. This would definitely offend the richest man even more.

He already has enough enemies, there's no need to add another heavyweight to the list.

"Stop talking about this, let's talk about you."

Xia Jingxing looked at Lu Qi with a smile, "What are you going to do next? Follow Android and merge into Facebook and become the most powerful Chinese executive in Silicon Valley? Or choose to return to China? You can choose from positions in overseas holdings and Fuxing Industries."

Lu Qi hesitated for a few seconds and said: "We yellow people will not be able to integrate here after all. I'd better go back to China, where there is a broader world.

I heard that Fuxing Industrial’s artificial intelligence project will soon be put into market application. I am very interested in this. "

Lu Qi's choice was not what Xia Jingxing expected. He had been in Silicon Valley for so many years and had a good understanding of everything here.

After understanding the so-called "glass ceiling", the truly ambitious and talented Chinese will no longer have high expectations for the big companies in Silicon Valley.

The situation of Chinese people who are not born in mainland China and have no educational background may be slightly better, but they will also encounter many injustices.

"Okay, Shen Xiangyang prefers to do technical research, and you are better at commercialization.

After you return to China, you two will work together as a team and strive to make our AI products world-class. "

Lu Qi smiled and nodded. He was very satisfied with Xia Jingxing's arrangement. Although he had to start from scratch, the AI ​​track was obviously a better use of his own strengths than Android software and was more to his liking.

After having a long conversation with Lu Qi and arranging his next destination, Xia Jingxing left Android Company in a low-key manner, preparing to visit Kristina's son and daughter.

Just as the car was halfway through, a sudden news disrupted his schedule, and he had to ask the driver to turn around and return to Silicon Valley.

Rushing to Fuxing Industrial's office park in Silicon Valley, Xia Jingxing found that several executives, including Liu Xiaoduo, were already sitting in the conference room.

The LCD screen hanging on the wall was playing a very disturbing video in a loop.

Just ten seconds after it was ignited and lifted off, a white rocket painted with the Fuxing Industrial logo suddenly fell to the ground and quickly disintegrated in the sky, turning into a ball of bright fireworks.

The rocket launch failed!

Xia Jingxing finished watching the video with a heavy heart, then turned to look at Liu Xiaoduo who was already standing beside him, and asked rather uneasily: "No one was hurt, right?"

Liu Xiaoduo shook his head, "No one was injured, but the rocket and the satellites carried on it were all damaged. In addition..."

Seeing Liu Xiaoduo's hesitant expression, Xia Jingxing frowned and asked, "What else?"

"In addition, the video of the rocket launch failure is going viral on the Internet, and netizens around the world know about it."

Xia Jingxing breathed a sigh of relief. He thought there was something more serious that was not reported, but he didn't expect it to be this. He waved his hands and said, "It's okay. So what if the netizens know about it. At most, they will just laugh at it. Failure is the mother of success." , make them laugh.”

"But that's not all. Some people with malicious intentions say that this is the first result achieved after the signing of the Wolf Clause!"
