American Fortune Life

85 Broadway Avenue, Manhattan, New York, USA, a brown office building. No corporate identification, no company name, only the door number on the door wall. Real name. Long time ago.

Five or two black Cadillac SUVs stopped in the square at the door of the building, opened the door, walked out of the car in a black suit, held a black briefcase and a blackberry phone, led by Andy, and walked right into the door.

Contrary to rumours from outside, there are no $87,000 worth of handmade carpets or $5,000 worth of waste paper baskets in the office. This is the headquarters of the Goldman Sachs Group.

Chairman and CEO Lloyd Blankfin, wearing a grey suit, a bicycle tie and a large cup of cold coffee, sat in an office on the 30th floor, jokingly said to Pierre: "Look, our little genius can't wait. ”

Pierre shrugged: "Lloyd, we need his friendship, and it's important that the connectivity resources are our Goldman Sachs' long-held and thriving killer. In this regard, we are already unique. Andy Smith is only 23 years old and at this age holds billions of dollars in wealth and family backgrounds that no one can ignore. This financial storm, Paulson alone, will not be able to get the company through.

Though Paulson became Treasury Secretary, he did not simply sell all Goldman Sachs shares in order to uphold higher ethical standards, indicating that he avoided close contact with Goldman Sachs management during his tenure.

Those who rely solely on lobbying groups and those in the White House cannot formally and freely help us if Paulson is not granted the moral immunity issued by the White House Legal Counsel and the Treasury.

Even if Andy can't help us, we can't make enemies at this time, and the Smith family's political influence is too great, even if the profits we sell to his Alibaba shares are not satisfactory to everyone. ”

Lloyd stunned his mouth, stood up from the boss's chair, closed the collar of the suit with buttons, tidied his tie, touched his own hair in the mirror, and picked a frown and said: "Let's go, don't let our genius wait forever. ”

In the conference room, Andy shook Goldman's CEO Lloyd's hand with a smile on his face, and the atmosphere was just a little chilly standing aside.

Rabbit Guo Wulin City.

Crisp and rushed phone rings broke the peace at 4am.

“So early, who's calling? ”

“Go to sleep, call this time, it looks like something's happened in the city...” Jackma spoke to the wife around her and quickly got out of bed and found the phone answered.

The strange look on Jack Mana's face was silenced when he heard the report on the phone.

“Send Andy Smith and that Li Xiaoying file right away, I'll turn on the computer, right away... ”

Jack Ma helplessly hung up the phone, these foreigners are so arrogant, the equity changes didn't even notify them in advance, sudden attack?

However, there is some appreciation for the important role that Goldman Sachs' initial investment played in Ali, except that Goldman Sachs sold Ali's shares to three groups of people, which complicated the board, and he was fortunate that Jackma was in control of the situation.

The email arrived quickly, and Jacques looked at the glowing monitor and took a deep breath, shook his mouse and clicked on the email.

First of all, Andy Smith fits very well with the young handsome look of Oriental aesthetics, and the young man in the photograph looks very clear and bright and can even see the reflection in his eyes and his expression is indifferent.

Next thing you know, Jacques can't help but breathe cold air, Nima. It's a monster!

Reach out and take a cigar dot out of the wooden box on the table, spit out a smoke, wrap around it, and Jackma's eyes look at the details behind the file and his eyes become colorful.

When he saw Li Xiaoying's photographs and information, Jack Ma couldn't help but notice that she was a bright, talented, beautiful woman with a beautiful curriculum vitae, able to represent such a powerful millionaire as Andy Smith as the chief representative and partner of the rabbit country, which is enough to show how powerful this woman is.

That's a headache. My board is even more lively. Yahoo is considering the interests of Yahoo shareholders. Soft Bank is considering the interests of Soft Bank shareholders. Only a few of its founders will consider Ali's future. It seems that Yahoo must find a way to buy back some shares.

There is also the headache of third-party payments, now that Ali has completely become a foreign-owned holding company, the company has made it clear after “one article of communication with the Central Bank for certification” that the only reliable way to obtain the license is to convert foreign investment to domestic investment. But how can several of the Board's major shareholders agree to harm their own interests? Looks like it's time to get ready.

In the morning, when the representatives of the major shareholders walked into the conference room, they saw that everyone had a folder on their desks, sitting on the first jackhorse stretching out his hand to show everyone to sit down.

“Earlier this morning, when we heard from the United States, Goldman Sachs Group sold the last 13 percent of its shares, and in 48 hours or 72 hours, Ali will welcome new shareholders... ”

Ma Yun's words did not seem to elicit much reaction. All the delegates with large company backgrounds were sitting there. The information was not very well informed, especially the Yahoo representative. Although he did not express surprise, his face was not very good. He knew better than anyone who was who he was, and the big boss behind him, more famous for his resoluteness and spiciness. The matter of Zhangzheng Nest can be honest and strong. What else would he dare not do? It seems that Ali's board of directors will become more lively.

“The documents on the table are the details of the equity owner Andy Smith and his representative, Li Xiaoying. You can see, I'm still saying that from the beginning, when you invested in Alibaba - you can be a shareholder, but you don't care about the company! ”

Jacques' expression looked at the week with the utmost seriousness, and his voice said in a cold voice that it was a warning and a relief.

Because he saw Yahoo's representative smile on his face and shook his helpless head as he looked at the file.

“Oh, Jack, we all know that you don't have to reiterate that Ali's weak board strong management pattern was agreed upon at the outset, and it's the best way for Ali to grow quickly. But, Jack, there's everybody sitting here, this Andy Smith... I don't know, young, legendary, hard to fuck! In the United States, he completed a takeover of the Fortune Nest, kicked all three founders out of the game through erosion, and completed 100% of the holdings. Of course, the takeover was small, but you know, this one was only 23 years old. ”

The Yahoo representative's words made everyone face to face, and Jack Ma had read about it, but now that he heard about the process, his pupils were shrinking, not because of the means, but because he was worried that he could do it at his age.

“Ladies and gentlemen, just a few days ago, this Mr. Smith negotiated a successful bet with Morgan Stanley, voluntarily abandoning the $7.2 billion in profits he could eventually earn, choosing a $4 billion cash plus $700 million preferred stock compensation program, and now Wall Street is crazy, apart from not understanding his approach, to crazily pursue him for a new wealth myth, even Warren Buffett frequently asked him to play golf, and Andy Smith is not a million-dollar privileged youngster who makes money writing novels, as it says in this file! ”

Soft silver representatives pushed their glasses and agreed with the toned statement: “The Smiths are a minority of the political world in the United States, ranked among the Kennedy and Bush families, and have a huge influence in Washington, D.C., and are a century-old family... ”

Everyone in the conference room, not worried about one more shareholder, worried about whether this shareholder will do anything. The rabbit country is not the United States, put in such a monster, Ali's board of directors will be difficult to say calm in the future.

Manhattan, New York.

“Emily, have a nice trip... ”

“Ivana, thank you for dropping me off. I'll show you the only civilized ancient country in the world that I think you'll fall in love with. ”

Ivana smiled and hugged Li Xiaoying and nodded and promised.

“Go to Wulin first, meet Jackma, tell him that I, the investor, can be considered purely a financial investor, and we will support him on the board without any doubt.” Andy said with a serious expression.

“I understand. I'll pass your words on to Jackma. Don't worry, boss, I'm leaving. ”

Li Xiaoying had an unnatural red spot on his pretty face, and when he came back with Andy's tiny hand in his hand, he waved goodbye to Ivana. Englishly turned around and quickly passed the security check with a team of five.
