Chapter 495

A brown office building, 85 Broadway Street, Manhattan, New York, USA. There is no corporate logo, no company name, and only the number of the doorplate on the wall. (the real place name has been checked for a long time)

the five or two black Cadillac SUVs in the square at the gate of the building stopped once, opened the door, and all the people who got out of the car were dressed in black suits, holding black briefcases and blackberries. Under Andy's guidance, they walked into the gate quickly.

Contrary to some rumors, there are no $87000 worth of hand-made carpets or $5000 worth of waste paper baskets in the office. This is the headquarters of Goldman Sachs.

Chairman and chief executive Lloyd Blankfein, wearing a gray suit, a bicycle tie and a large cup of cool coffee, sat in an office on the 30th floor and said jokingly to pilder, "look, our little genius can't wait."

"Lloyd, we need his friendship. It's very important. The human resources are the trump card of Goldman Sachs' long-term prosperity. We are already unique in this respect. Andy Smith is only 23 years old. At that age, he has billions of wealth and family background that no one can ignore. Paulson is the only one in this financial storm We can't get the company through.

Although Paulson became Treasury Secretary, in order to uphold higher ethical standards, he not only sold all of his shares in Goldman Sachs, but also showed that he avoided close contact with Goldman's management during his tenure.

It is impossible for Paulson to obtain the moral immunity issued by the White House legal counsel and the Treasury only by the lobby and the people in the White House. That is not to help us formally and freely.

Even if Andy can't help us, we can't make enemies at this time. The political influence of the Smiths is so great, even if the profits we sell him Ali shares this time are not satisfactory to everyone. "

Lloyd shrunk his mouth, stood up from the boss's chair, buttoned up his suit, tidied up his tie, stroked his hair on his temples in the mirror, raised his eyebrows and said, "let's go, don't let our talented rich wait."

In the conference room, Andy shakes hands and greets with Goldman's CEO Lloyd with a smile under the introduction of Pierre. The atmosphere is harmonious, but a Chinese American standing on the side looks a little cold.

Wulin City, the country of rabbit.

The ringing of the phone broke the 4 a.m. silence.

"So early, whose phone?"

"You go to sleep. I'm calling at this time. It seems something's going on." Jack Ma said something to his wife, got out of bed quickly, found out the phone and picked it up.

Hearing the report on the phone, Jack Ma's strange face fell into silence.

"Send the information about Andy Smith and Li Xiaoying right away. I'll turn on the computer right away and

Jack Ma can't help hanging up. These foreign devils are so arrogant that they don't even notify them in advance of the change of equity, so they make a surprise attack?

However, there are still some thanks for the important role of Goldman's initial investment in Alibaba. Only Goldman sold its shares to three groups of people, which made the board of directors very complicated. Fortunately, Jack Ma was able to control the situation.

The email arrived soon, and Jackie Ma looked at the glowing display, took a deep breath, shook his mouse, and clicked on it.

First of all, Andy Smith's young and handsome appearance is very in line with the Oriental aesthetic. The young people's eyes in the photo are very clear and bright, and they can even see the reflection in their eyes, with cold and indifferent expression.

Then look down, Jack Ma can't help but take a breath of cool air, NIMA, this is a monster!

Reaching out to take out a cigar from the wooden box on the table, he spits out a mouthful of smoke. In the room, Jack Ma's eyes squint at the details behind the data, and his eyes become colorful.

When I see the photos and materials of Li Xiaoying, Jack Ma has a bright future. She is a talented and beautiful woman with a beautiful resume. Being able to represent Andy Smith, a powerful and rich man, as the chief representative and partner of rabbit country, is enough to show the strength of this woman.

It's a headache. The board of directors is more lively. Yahoo is considering the interests of Yahoo shareholders. Softbank is considering the interests of Softbank shareholders. Only a few of its founders will consider Ali's future. It seems that we must find a way to buy back some shares from Yahoo.

There is also a headache about the third-party payment problem. Now Alibaba has become a wholly foreign-owned company. The company has made it clear after "communicating with the central bank one by one" that the only reliable way to obtain the license is to transfer foreign capital to domestic capital. But how could the big shareholders of the board agree to harm their own interests. It seems that it's time to plan.

In the morning, when the representatives of major shareholders walked into the meeting room, they saw a folder in front of everyone's desk, and Jack Ma, who was sitting at the first seat, reached out to show everyone to sit.

"In the early morning of this morning, we got the news from the U.S. side that Goldman Sachs sold its last 13% of its shares. In another 48 hours or 72 hours, alibaba will welcome new shareholders..."Ma Yun's words didn't seem to cause much reaction. All the representatives with big company background were sitting here, and the intelligence of the news was not poor. Especially the representatives of Yahoo! Didn't express surprise, but their faces were not very good-looking. They knew who they came from better than anyone else, and the big boss behind them was famous for his determination and ruthlessness. Everything about Hatoyama magpie nest can do It seems that Ali's board of directors is going to become more heated.

"The document on the table is the detailed information of the equity owner andI Smith and his representative Li Xiaoying. You can have a look at it. I'm still that sentence. That sentence from the beginning when you invested in Ali company - you can be a shareholder, but don't care about the company at all!"

Jack Ma looked around for a week with an extremely serious expression. His voice said coldly, warning and relief.

Because he saw the bitter smile and helpless shaking head on the face of Yahoo representative when he looked at the information.

"Ha ha, Jack, we all know that you don't need to reiterate that Alibaba's weak board of directors and strong management structure were agreed at the beginning, which is also the best plan for Alibaba to grow rapidly. But, Jack, and all of you, this Andy Smith... How to say, it's very young, legendary and difficult to handle! He once completed the acquisition of Hatoyama magpie nest in the United States. He kicked all three founders out of the board from the second shareholder of the individual and achieved 100% holding. Of course, although the acquired company is not big, everyone, this is only 23 years old... "

Yahoo's representative's words made everyone look at each other. Jack Ma also read the information about this matter. But now after hearing about the process, his pupils are also shrinking, not because of the means, but because he can do it at this age.

"Everyone, just a few days ago, this Mr. Smith negotiated with Morgan Stanley successfully, gave up the $7.2 billion profit that he could finally get, and chose the $4 billion cash plus $700 million preferred stock compensation plan. Now Wall Street is crazy, except for not understanding his approach, which is crazy to pursue him as a new wealth myth, even wallumba Fitter often invites him to play golf. Andy Smith is not a young, billionaire and powerful kid who makes money by writing novels like the one in this material! "

The representative of Softbank pushed his glasses and agreed with his dignified face: "the Smiths are one of the few political families with the same name as Kennedy, Bush and other families in the United States. They have a huge influence in Washington. They are a hundred year old family..."

All the people in the conference room are not worried about one more shareholder. They are worried about whether the shareholders' meeting will get into trouble. The country of rabbit is not the United States. It's hard to say that Ali's board of directors will be calm in the future when such a monster is put in.

Manhattan, New York.

"Emily, have a good trip..."

"Ivana, thank you for coming to see me. If you have time, I will visit the only ancient civilization in the world. I think you will fall in love with rabbit."

Ivana smiled and hugged Li Xiaoying, nodded and agreed.

"First, go to Wulin to meet Jack Ma and tell him that he can be regarded as a pure financial investor, and we will support him without doubt on the board of directors." Andy said seriously.

"I understand. I'll pass your message on to Jackie ma. Don't worry, boss. I'll go."

Li Xiaoying's face is a little bit red. She draws back her small hand which Andy holds tightly in his hand, waves goodbye to Ivana, and turns around with a brave face to take the five member team to pass the security check quickly.
