Now, investment institutions with a little vision have seen the bright future of eBay, and they have discovered that when the Internet is combined with traditional industries, it will burst out with such a huge power, in the private words of a certain executive of Blackstone Capital: "It is simply an atomic fission reaction!"

In order to give Chen Geng a chance to get on the eBay boat, the management of these investment institutions really racked their brains, and in the end, they came up with a solution that several investment institutions jointly set up a charity for third world countries to help the backward areas of third world countries solve the problem of clean drinking water...... To put it bluntly, it is to help people in these areas solve the problem of running water, and considering that this charity was set up to win over Chen Geng, then there is no doubt that the main scope of this charity is the vast central and western regions of China.

Chen Geng had to give this face.

Taking the opportunity of Chen Geng's attendance at the establishment of this charitable foundation, Lawton Collins, a co-partner at Goldman Sachs Capital, asked Chen Geng what they were most concerned about: "Mr. Fernandez, will eBay accept outside investment?"

As soon as Lawton Collins's words fell, the people around him pricked up their ears in unison.

What are you trying to do to set up a charity fund? Isn't it just to be able to ride the eBay ride?

Facing Lawton Collins' expectant gaze, Chen Geng smiled and nodded: "Of course." ”

"Really?!"

Lawton Collins' eyes widened instantly.

At this moment, the executives and co-partners of the surrounding investment institutions can no longer be calm and pretend that nothing is going on. What is reserved? Can it be spent as money?

Without waiting for Chen Geng to speak, William Strauss, the executive president of Morgan Stanley, hurriedly asked: "Mr. Fernandez, when will eBay's next round of financing start?

Yes!

A group of investors who are held by countless entrepreneurs on weekdays, at this moment, they do not have the posture of being high on weekdays, but they are humble, hearing Wilhelm Strauss say this, they nodded hurriedly......

"yes, Mr. Fernandez, when will eBay's first funding round start?"

"We at Fuda Investment can lead the ......"

"We at Oaktree Capital can also lead the ......"

"We at Bain Capital can also ......"

............

These big names in the eyes of people on weekdays are hyped up!

In front of money, no one is "modest".

No one asked about the angel round, because everyone understood that Chen Geng himself was an angel round, and even the first round of ebay's first public fundraising may be the B round or even the C round of other companies, and even Chen Geng's financing rounds before ebay was listed is unknown.

For the representatives of the capital who are used to being high on weekdays, they don't want to grovel like this, but there is no way, Fernandez Chen is not short of money at all, he can play without himself, and when he desperately wants to invest in the object is not short of money, the order is reversed.

Looking at these bigwigs who were blushing, Chen Geng smiled and nodded: "Gentlemen, I haven't considered ebay financing yet, you should understand that ebay doesn't need financing ...... for the time being."

Looking at the disappointed expressions of these guys, Chen Geng continued: "But I can also give you a guarantee, counting the IPO, eBay will raise two rounds of capital before going public." ”

Do you want to raise 2 times before Ebay goes public?

Although Chen Geng did not promise everyone a specific time for financing, the answer he gave was satisfactory to everyone: with Chen Geng, a super rich guy, don't worry about any ABCDE round on ebay, you can finance once before going public, plus IPO, you can give you two opportunities to invest, and the representatives of your capital are already very satisfied—— They didn't expect to get such an opportunity to invest in eBay today, what they wanted was actually to be able to hear such an exact news from Chen Geng's mouth.

"Okay, okay," William Strauss nodded again and again, and said politely to Chen Geng: "Mr. Fernandez, when eBay needs financing, please contact me...... No matter how much eBay needs at that time, as long as you ask, we at Morgan Stanley will be ready for you right away. ”

"And me, Mr. Fernandez, we at KKR are always waiting for your call......"

While a group of capitals were surrounding Chen Geng, on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, in the ice city of China, Viktor Vladimirovich Kayapa was putting the finishing touches on a helicopter by a group of engineers.

This helicopter has the same tail boom and ducted tail rotor as the Z-9 helicopter, but the appearance of the fuselage is different, different from the Z-9 standard manned cockpit, the helicopter in front of the helicopter has the standard front low rear high tandem cockpit of the gunship, and compared with the Z-9, the fuselage width of the helicopter in front of the plane is also nearly twice as narrow.

Yes, this helicopter is led by the former deputy chief designer of the Miri Design Bureau, Viktor Vladimirovich Kayapa, on the basis of the Z-9 helicopter developed a 4-ton light helicopter, in the research and development process, this temporarily named Wuzhi-9 by the COMAC Group armed helicopter borrowed a lot of US AH-1W/S "Super Cobra/Zulu Cobra" armed helicopter, AH-64 "Apache" armed helicopter, Mi-28 armed helicopter and European "Tiger" The design concept of the helicopter, for example, in the short wing design of this Wuzhi-9, in addition to the wing itself can be used as a fuel tank, there are four standard short-wing pylons, in addition, it also refers to the AH-1Z "Zulu Cobra" armed helicopter, a light-duty pylon, which can be mounted on the latest Thunderbolt-8 short-range air-to-air combat missile in China, even if it is said that in addition to the implementation of enemy attacks and anti-tank operations, Wuzhi-9 has the ability to fight against helicopters and anti-fighters.

Watching Viktor Vladimirovich Kayapa's final inspection of the plane, Wang Dazhi, who had been with him in the workshop since the morning, asked in a low voice: "Victor, how is it?"

Viktor Vladimirovich Kayapa nodded and replied, "No problems have been found for the time being. ”

Wang Dazhi took a deep breath and asked Viktor Vladimirovich Kayapa again: "Then the test can be carried out normally later?"

"Wang, you don't have to be like this," looking at Wang Dazhi with a nervous face, Viktor Vladimirovich Kayapa laughed, he patted the Wuzhi-9 in front of him, and said with a smile: "All of this guy's core systems use Zhi-9, as long as Zhi-9 can fly, this guy can fly, I want you to promise, there will be absolutely no problems!"
