Chapter 917 Clearance

  After more than ten hours of long-distance flight, the plane finally arrived at San Francisco Airport.

  Xia Jingxing and her mother got off the plane, walked out of the airport surrounded by accompanying secretaries and bodyguards, and then got into the car sent by Envision Capital to greet them. A group of seven or eight cars headed towards Silicon Valley.

   "Okay, this is the high-tech mecca Silicon Valley your dad said?"

  Zhang Yuqiong sat in the car, curiously looking at the tree-lined Silicon Valley campus outside the window. The land is open and corporate buildings are scattered among them. It looks like a garden with pleasant scenery.

  Xia Jingxing nodded, and patiently introduced her mother to the geographical environment, climate, development history, etc. of Silicon Valley.

  Zhang Yuqiong is very interested in this, after all, this is the place where his son once went to college and started his career.

  The mother and son chatted, unknowingly, the convoy had already drove into the villa area of ​​Palo Alto, and then stopped in front of the big iron gate of a villa.

  As soon as Xia Jingxing and his mother got out of the car, they saw Christina walking out of the house with a big belly.

  After seeing the incoming person, the foreign girl was overjoyed, accelerated her step, and yelled in Chinese with great joy: "Dalun, auntie."

  Caitlin, who was following the babes, was so anxious that she hurriedly grabbed her daughter, "Kristina, slow down, you are still pregnant."

  On the other side, after the housekeeper opened the door, Xia Jingxing and her mother walked in quickly.

  Zhang Yuqiong trot to the front, leaving her son far behind.

  This made Xia Jingxing a little bit jealous, growing up so big, and seeing her mother so gaffe for the first time, this posture is almost the same as the aunt who rushed into the supermarket to scan the goods.

  The foreign girl opened her arms to greet her, and said coquettishly: "Auntie, I miss you so much."

  Zhang Yuqiong didn't notice that Yang Niu's Chinese was getting better and better, because all her attention was focused on Yang Niu's high bulging belly.

  When she hugged the foreign girl, she also looked cautious, for fear of hitting the foreign girl’s belly.

   "Kristina, Auntie misses you and the little baby in her belly every day in China. I saw you today, and a big rock in my heart has fallen to the ground."

Zhang Yuqiong hugged the foreign girl and caressed her back, loving and pitying this undocumented daughter-in-law, and felt that she owed her a lot. Even if she became pregnant when she was unmarried, her own **** son was often not by her side. Fortunately, she has to face the pressure of her family.

After    hugged with the foreign girl, Zhang Yuqiong noticed that a black-haired foreign woman who was about his age was looking at him with a smile.

   So she hurriedly asked the foreign girl: "This is?"

   Yang Niu quickly introduced in Chinese: "This is my mother Caitlin." Then he introduced in English: "This is Dai Lun's mother, Ms. Zhang."

  Seeing Caitlin opening her arms to herself with a smile on her face, Zhang Yuqiong went to the countryside to follow the customs, instead of hugging for a while, then exclaimed: "Caitlin, you are so young. It's hard to imagine your eldest daughter is in her twenties."

  This sentence was spoken in English. It was a greeting greeting Zhang Yuqiong remembered for a long time.

  Although the pronunciation is not so accurate, Caitlin understood it. She smiled and replied: "Zhang, you are so young, and the Chinese don’t seem to be old. You don’t seem to be more than forty years old at most..."

  Listening to Caitlin's babble talking a lot of English, and her pronunciation was still in Texas accent, Zhang Yuqiong was completely blinded. The little English she learned in college had long been returned to the teacher.

  This time, in order to come to the United States, she temporarily enrolled in an English training class, but the learning effect, that is, dumb English plus deaf English, will she speak or listen...

   Seeing Zhang Yuqiong suddenly stopped speaking, Caitlin looked dazed, and then looked at her daughter suspiciously. Did I say something wrong?

  Kristina also feels very strange. Didn’t she just show her London accent? How to say it turned off.

  "Auntie, did my mother say something wrong?" Yang Niu asked tentatively in Chinese.

  Zhang Yuqiong waved his hands again and again, and said with a bit of embarrassment: "I can only say simple sentences before I finish this English course."

  The foreign girl was stunned for a while, and then couldn't help but laugh, she stumbled to learn Chinese, and now Dai Lun’s mother ran to learn English again, it’s really not easy for the two families to communicate normally!

Xia Jingxing witnessed her mother’s embarrassment and stood up to help her out. He introduced Kristina and Caitlin to her mother’s hard work in learning English. He recites vocabulary at home every day and reports in English when cooking in the kitchen. The name of the dish...

  The foreign girl and her mother were dumbfounded, and then they both showed kind smiles.

   Caitlin said: "It seems that I have to study Chinese seriously!"

   "Oh, in-law, I bought you a gift."

After speaking, Zhang Yuqiong took the gift box handed over by the bodyguard and handed it to Caitlin.

  Caitlin opened the gift box with a smile and found that there was a beautiful silk scarf inside. When she picked it up, there were several cute pandas playing on the bamboo.

   "I like this gift so much!"

  Caitlin hugged Zhang Yuqiong again with a joyful face, and then lovingly took the latter’s hand and walked towards the house together.

  Xia Jingxing helped the foreign girl fall behind. Both of them saw this scene and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

   "I was originally worried about how my mom and your mom will get along, but now it seems that my worries seem to be unnecessary."

  Xia Jingxing smiled slightly, "Hey, by the way, why did your mother come? When did she know about it?"

  Kristina gave Xia Jingxing a slanted look: "Do you think you should hide it from them? Tell them when the child is born?"

Xia Jingxing heard the gun and stick in the foreign girl's tone, gently twisted her body, facing herself, smiling and remedying: "I didn't mean that, I meant...Walsh Does your husband know?"

  The foreign girl chuckled, "Are you still afraid of him?"

  Xia Jingxing said, "How is it possible? In China, ours is called uncooked rice and cooked rice. Mr. Walsh likes to be a grandfather. I don't believe he will be unhappy."

  The attention of the foreign girl was instantly diverted, while Xia Jingxing was thinking about how to face the problem of the foreign girl's parents. It is impossible for the two elderly people to talk to him about major life events.

  After lunch, Zhang Yuqiong and Christina were a little sleepy, so they went into the room to rest. Xia Jingxing was about to enter the study and was stopped by Caitlin at the door.

   "Daren, I want to talk to you."

  Xia Jingxing knew that the time to come is finally here, and he can't hide, so he nodded and greeted Caitlin to enter the study together.

  Across a mahogany table with Eight Immortals, Xia Jingxing and Caitlin sat opposite each other. The latter was expressionless, watching the former mixing tea with herself quietly, without saying a word.

  The atmosphere in the room was very strange, which made Xia Jingxing feel a little nervous.

   "Daren, I want to know what you plan to do next?"

  Caitlin took a sip from the teacup on the table. The mouth felt that the tea was bitter, and she resisted it before spitting it out.

  Looking at the mother-in-law’s expression, Xia Jingxing smirked in her heart. Well, he did it deliberately. His mother-in-law looked menacing. He had to disrupt the other party's momentum, but he couldn't be tough, he had to make tricks.

   "Uh, Caitlin, you may not be used to drinking Chinese tea. Should I pour you a cup of coffee?" Xia Jingxing got up and asked with a look of concern.

  Caitlin waved her hand quickly, smiled and said, "Thank you, no, I'm used to drinking it barely."

"That's good!"

  Xia Jingxing smiled, and then began to answer the other's question directly: "I'm very sorry, the relationship between Christina and I should not be made public for the time being."

  Hearing this, Caitlin didn't react much on her face, because Christina had already explained to her, the question inside was very complicated, and she didn't want to ask too much.

  But, it’s impossible to keep going like this, right?

   "How long do you mean by "temporary"?" Caitlin continued to ask.

   "Wait until Facebook goes public, I will arrange all the Facebook shares I hold, and then I can make my relationship with Christina public."

  Xia Jingxing said with emotion: “I know, this is not fair to Christina, and she did not give her a dream wedding of the century, but the reality is like this, there is no way to be perfect.”

  Caitlin was silent for a while before she said, “She doesn’t care about a wedding, otherwise, she wouldn’t secretly give birth to you with her dad without telling me.

   During her pregnancy, she was under a lot of mental stress and her pregnancy reaction was also very serious..."

Seeing her mother-in-law began to hold her accountable, Xia Jingxing did not defend herself, but decisively admitted her mistake: "I know, I feel ashamed of this, because when she needed me the most, I didn't have time to accompany her."

  Caitlin sighed: "Daren, in fact, your career has been very successful. You can stop and enjoy your life. For your career, you have given up a lot of things."

  Xia Jingxing nodded: "Yes, I also recognize this problem, so I decided to correct it. After the child is born, I will always be with Christina and will not make her feel lonely again."

Hearing this, Caitlin looked a little stunned and said, “I’m not saying that you have to give up your career! If you don’t have enough entrepreneurial ambition, you won’t become a world-renowned rich man. I mean, you have to work hard. Keep a balance with life.

  Kristina has no complaints about this, but I know that she actually wants you to be with her more. "

  Xia Jingxing looked serious, nodded and said: "Okay, I understand, I won't let you down, Christina."

  Caitlin saw that Xia Jingxing had admitted her mistake and had a good attitude, so she calmed down a bit and said: "In addition to company, I also hope you will give Christina an explanation as soon as possible!

  A family can happily show up in front of the public, go to travel, watch football games, go shopping together... these things cannot be bought by money. "

Xia Jingxing listened very carefully. As a mother, Caitlin’s request was not excessive, and it could even be said to be reasonable. Normal couples and normal unmarried male and female friends can do it. Only he and foreign girls can do it. The situation is very complicated.

He sighed slightly in his heart. In fact, even if the news that he and Christina had a child out of wedlock really spread widely, causing a sensation in public opinion, he is not as worried as before, and the worst outcome is just clearing it. All the holdings on the surface are only.

  By introducing an external LP to form an S fund to obscure his plan to hold shares on Facebook, it has taken shape.

Only need to initiate one or two more S funds, and he can hide all his holdings in Facebook into each fund under Vision Capital. There are countless LPs in the fund, including blue blood nobles, business families, and universities in the United States. Funds, etc., and sovereign wealth funds of other countries...

His ultimate goal is to completely hide himself into the bottom, and at the same time find countless interest partners to jointly hold Facebook. Interests and equity structures overlap. The more complicated the situation, the better, so that the price for some people to deal with him will change. The kind of incomparably high gains, the gains outweigh the losses, so that it can dispel many people's thoughts.

In addition, after all the shares held are transferred to the fund, the separation of operating rights and ownership will not affect the secret plan of Eagle Sauce to monitor the world, and the S Fund also has a time limit for exiting. In the future, Envision Capital’s shareholding in Facebook will only gradually decrease. Will increase.

  Facebook has developed to the present, just like crops in the field, it has gradually begun to mature, and it is time to start harvesting.

  No matter how high the company’s valuation/market value is, it will have to arbitrage cash to be valuable. Gradually reduce shares and turn them into domestic assets or other industrial assets, and asset quality will only become higher.

  In this regard, Gates has actually pointed him a clear path. Gates’s old yin-force asset quality is actually far stronger than the later risers of Bezos and Musk.

  Microsoft collapsed, Gates will only lose one-fifth or less of his assets;

  If Tesla and Amazon are finished, Bezos and Musk’s ranking of the rich and even their actual assets will be greatly affected.

  The reason why the old money looks down on the new money is because the upstarts can’t handle the cyclical fluctuations, one policy, one business error...the upstarts just get down again.

  Therefore, it is not necessary to hold Facebook shares firmly in your hands. Replace them with other assets, exchange the contacts needed for the development of Vision Capital, and replenish the health of Renaissance Industry...These are all good solutions.

In fact, Xia Jingxing has been doing this all the time. His asset transfer plan has been half completed. Even if Facebook collapses today, he is still a billion-dollar super-rich. With the passage of time, his worth is still One more zero will be added.

  Why not solve the problems left over from Facebook’s history once and for all? It is entirely out of the perspective of financial return. It is not cost-effective to clear all the stock holdings now. Too much capital is not suitable for a time.

  When Facebook is about to go public, the valuation will reach a new peak, which is the best time to make a move. At the same time, because the listing will disclose a lot of key information, it will also be his last chance for a major adjustment.

  Caitlin didn’t notice that Xia Jingxing was in a trance, she still said to herself: “As a mother, I only wish Christina’s happiness.

  Her choice, I shouldn’t have interfered too much, but I still couldn’t help but find you Darren and want to talk with you more.

  Daren, I hope you can understand. "

   "I can understand!" Xia Jingxing nodded.

   "Well, that's it, I'm leaving."

Caitlin sighed, got up to leave, and when she reached the door, she turned and looked back, "Father Christina, don’t worry too much, Christina and I will try our best to persuade his."

   "Thank you, Caitlin!"

   "You don't have to thank me, it is Christina that you really should thank. She persuaded me."

  After finishing speaking, Caitlin brought the door gently and left. Only Xia Jingxing was left in the room. He was staring at the rising heat in the teacup on the table in a daze.
