Chapter 1594 The first fruits of the Wolfe Clause

   Blankfein hurriedly confided 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 right away, but said in a slightly teasing tone: "It's okay to act, how should I settle the appearance fee?"

   "Daren, we're here for you."

   "I know this, and you don't need to remind me. The key problem now is that you have not fulfilled your obligations and brought trouble to me."

   Blankfein tried his best not to yell, he felt that he was being tricked by Xia Jingxing again.

  Although Goldman Sachs, as the financial consultant hired by Xia Jingxing, needs to undertake a series of obligations such as due diligence, negotiation, and bargaining, but 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 transaction made by Xia Jingxing and Blankfein in response to the "Goldman Sachs Fraud Case" and related derivative cases. .

   It was originally a happy deal for everyone, but after getting started, Blankfein realized that it was really difficult to take advantage of Xia Jingxing.

   "Daeron, let's terminate the cooperation! I'm so tired!"

  When Blankfein said these words, he felt a sense of relief. Love whoever he loves, and never cooperate with a shameless person like Xia Jingxing again.

   "Haha, Lauder, come on, I was just kidding you.

  How do I need to cooperate? Just open your mouth. "

Hearing Xia Jingxing's soft words, Blankfein's wounded heart felt a little better, and then he said eccentrically: "I don't need you to do much, just trouble you, the king of Wall Street, to make a phone call, and then reveal face, and leave the rest to us.”

   "Okay, who to call?"

   “Just call Bill Gates and meet him.”

  …

After hanging up Blankfein's phone call, Xia Jingxing spread his hands towards Lu Qi who was sitting opposite him, "Did you hear that? What's wrong with the world, you are so picky and picky about the things you sell. It really **** me off, why don't you?" sold!"

   Lu Qi smiled wryly. From the bottom of his heart, he is absolutely unwilling to sell Android at such a low price. After all, the development and growth of this company also has his part in it, and at the same time, it has not yet shown its maximum value.

  But the situation in the United States is complicated, and they can't help but pass the market with gold.

After pondering for a while, Lu Qi said: "Facebook is still very sincere, mainly because the price cannot be negotiated, especially in recent months, Facebook's stock price has dropped a lot, and the acquisition of shares will cost a lot. loss."

   "I allow them to buy all in cash!"

   "Facebook has so much cash in its account, so it can only choose to issue a part of the equity."

Speaking of this, Lu Qi paused, and then told Xia Jingxing a piece of gossip he learned: "I heard that some shareholders of Facebook have a lot of opinions on you, thinking that you deliberately asked Vision Capital to sell shares a few months ago. Suppress Facebook's stock price, and then take advantage of the low stock price to force Android to Facebook."

  Xia Jingxing had also heard similar rumors before, so he immediately frowned, "When did I force myself?"

  “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, now it's all over, the yellow mud fell into his crotch, it was either **** or shit.

  If he were the shareholder who opposed the acquisition of Android, he might also think that Envision Capital’s stock sell-off a few days ago was a big conspiracy.

  I thought it would be easy to sell Android, but now it seems that it really needs a good plan.

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

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

  Xia Jingxing nodded lightly, it's time to suppress the arrogance of those people on Facebook. Whoever said that Android must be sold to Facebook, those people are too self-righteous.

   But to invite Bill Gates to participate in this big drama, it seems that it is not easy to please move?

  After he and Bill Gates got into an awkward situation some time ago, they never talked to each other on the phone again, and the boat of friendship capsized.

   "Let me think of another way!"

  Xia Jingxing didn't really want to ask Bill Gates for help, and being unable to save face was the second.

   Mainly in his heart, Android will definitely not be sold to Microsoft in the end, no matter how high the price Gates pays.

  Falsely ran to negotiate with Gates, let the other party be a tool, and finally sold Android to Facebook, which would definitely offend the richest man even more.

   He has enough enemies, there is 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 do you plan to do next? Do you want to follow Android into Facebook and become the most powerful Chinese executive in Silicon Valley? Or choose to return to China? You can choose the positions of domestic holdings and Renaissance Industries."

  Lu Qi hesitated for a few seconds, and said: "We yellow people can't integrate here after all, I'd better go back to China, there is a wider world there.

  I heard that the artificial intelligence project of Renaissance Industry will soon be put into market application, and I am very interested in this. "

  Lu Qi's choice was not as expected by Xia Jingxing. The other party has been in Silicon Valley for so many years, and he has enough understanding of everything here.

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

  Chinese who are not born in the mainland and have no education background may have a slightly better situation, but they will also encounter many injustices.

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

  After returning to China, the two of you should work together as a team and strive to make our AI products world-class. "

  Lu Qi nodded with a smile. He was very satisfied with Xia Jingxing's arrangement. Although he had to start from scratch again, the AI ​​track was obviously better than the Android software, and it was more in line with his wishes.

  After having a long talk with Lu Qi and arranging his next destination, Xia Jingxing left the Android company in a low-key manner, planning to visit Christina's son and daughter.

  The car was just driving halfway, a sudden news disrupted his itinerary, he had to ask the driver to turn around and return to Silicon Valley.

  Rushing to the office park of Fuxing Industry in Silicon Valley, Xia Jingxing found that several executives including Liu Xiaoduo were already sitting in the meeting room.

  The LCD screen hanging on the wall is playing a very distressing video in a loop.

  A white rocket painted with the large logo of Fuxing Industry Co., Ltd. suddenly fell to the ground just a dozen seconds after it was ignited, and quickly disintegrated in the sky, turning into a ball of bright fireworks.

  The rocket launch failed!

  Xia Jingxing finished watching this video with a heavy heart, then turned his head to look at Liu Xiaoduo who was already standing beside him, and asked somewhat uneasy: "Is no one injured?"

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

  Xia Jingxing saw Liu Xiaoduo's hesitation, frowned and asked, "What else?"

  “In addition, the video of the failed rocket launch is spreading wildly on the Internet, and netizens all over the world know about it.”

Xia Jingxing breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that there was something more serious that hadn't been reported, but he didn't expect it to be this one, he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, so what if the netizens know about it, at most they just laugh at it, failure is the mother of success , let them laugh."

   "It's more than that, some people with malicious intentions say that this is the first result achieved after the signing of the Wolfe Clause!"
