Chapter 185: Barely achieved
The next morning, in the office building of Merrill Lynch Investment.
After the new CEO Moritz hung up the phone, he looked helplessly at the top executives of Lehman and Beth Yaman, who also belong to the Jewish forces on Wall Street.
"Goldman Sachs and Da Mo agreed to share PayPal as a payment tool with us, but they had a different attitude towards Twitter. ”
"Henry?? Paulson reiterated that the other three consortia do not want new institutional investors to emerge in this media tool. ”
"So," Vice President Lehman mused, "what about contacting the Asian writer directly?"
"After all, they're valuing Twitter by a full $200 million less than we do. ”
Moritz pointed in the direction of Washington, "Gore said he doesn't want to see us involved in the Twitter battle in an election year. ”
"Goldman Sachs and Da Mo have passed the moderate representative of the Republican Party, George?? Bush, I communicated with our Vice President in advance. ”
"Damn politicians!" the representative of Bestamane cursed in a low voice, "and these anti-Semitic conglomerates!"
"Are we going to reach out to our compatriots on the West Coast and do something?"
"As far as I know, that Asian-American writer has a history of theft, and that kind of person controls the media tools..."
"It's supposed to be a good flashpoint. ”
"Viacom's Lei Shidong, Disney's Eisner?" Vice President Lehman groaned and shook his head: "I don't want to have any communication with them except for Israel." ”
Merrill Lynch's CEO coughed lightly, "Netscape's Jim?? Clark has reached out to me, and he said that he will take Twitter's model and start a blog business. ”
"And, he's going to invite Stephen?? Kim and other well-known writers, Julia?? Roberts and other A-list stars opened Netscape blogs. ”
"That's to fully support Netscape. Lehman's vice president said: "We will not deliberately sabotage the efforts of Wall Street and Hollywood to compete for the right to speak, but it does not mean that we do not support the development and growth of our own enterprises." ”
"Also, try to find new media outlets like Twitter. Vice President Bestman added, "After all, there are many smart people in Silicon Valley." ”
......
At this time, Wang was sitting in the office, reminiscing about the events of last night.
15% of PayPal shares can be obtained, but there are preconditions.
The website needs to give 20% of Twitter shares to replace 3% of Sequoia Capital, which is controlled by three major consortia and mainly ventures in Silicon Valley.
"Wang, the accountant from PricewaterhouseCoopers is here. Tom pushed open the office door and gave a reminder.
"Oh, please let them in. ”
"Mr. Wang," a young white man walked into the office and pulled out a stack of papers from his handbag.
"If Twitter is valued at $600 million, then 20% is $120 million. ”
Sequoia Capital has investments in companies such as Hewlett-Packard and Yahoo, and the 3% stake is worth about $120 million. ”
Wang gradually took the document and looked at it for a while, and then put it on the table again.
Although the price of the two parties is similar, Sequoia Capital's contract stipulates that under certain conditions, shareholders will also inject capital.
Isn't he a shareholder by speculation?
He can directly sell 20% of Twitter's shares for cash, and he is somewhat unwilling.
After all, Twitter is about to go public.
"Thank you PwC for calculating the taxes and helping us do the calculations. ”
"It doesn't matter. The young man handed over a bill, "We pay according to the amount of work. ”
$70,000?
Wang gradually took the bill and glanced at it, then looked up at the other party.
The young white man on the other side had a gentle smile on his face, like an English gentleman.
Wang gradually exhaled, picked up the pen and signed his name.
"Then I wish us a happy next time we work together. ”
Looking at the back of the other party leaving, Wang gradually picked up the PayPal information again.
Among the investors in PayPal are Lehman and Merrill Lynch, but why don't they come to Twitter for investment?
Even if Twitter loses, it probably loses... It's only been ten or twenty years.
"Tom, give the contract to the lawyer for review. Wang gradually sighed, "Then fax it to Lyman." ”
"Uhhhh
Da Mo promised to underwrite $120 million, so Twitter's valuation is $600 million. ”
"Congratulations, Tom. Wang gradually shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "I'm about to become a multimillionaire." ”
"Multimillionaire?" Tom was stunned for a moment, as if he realized the problem.
He put down the file and rushed straight over, "Wang, you are simply my lotto ticket!"
Wang gradually was directly hugged by a big man, and he almost couldn't breathe.
He patted the other party's shoulder desperately, "Tom, calm down, it will be three years before the lockdown can be lifted." ”
"You're still a pauper!"
"Wang, is PayPal ready to be debugged?" Chen Shijun pushed open the door and saw only two disheveled men hugging each other.
"That's it. Wang gradually replied.
"Oh. Chen Shijun agreed and quickly closed the door.
"It's said that artists' private lives are chaotic, and same-sex is not a big deal. ”
"But Tom," he said, shaking his head and exclaiming quietly, "this aesthetic is too weird." ”
"Uh," he touched his face, "Am I in danger too?"
......
Manhattan, inside the office building of Goldman Sachs.
Ryman took a contract and hurried into the president's office.
"Mr. Paulson, Wang has agreed. ”
Paul?? Paulson nodded calmly, picked up the file and read it.
"Tomorrow they will start trial running PayPal on the mobile phone? Then we have to hurry up and open up the VISA payment channel." ”
And we held a roadshow for Twitter. ”
Paulson put down the file and said casually, "You go and get that young Asian and hire a fashion designer." ”
"Based on his age, his status as a best-selling author, and a tech elite, he should be designed with an impressive image. ”
"Hugo, Hemingway?" asked Lyman.
"When Twitter went public, he became the richest writer in the country. Paulson shook his head, "Mozart?"
"Genius musician?" Lyman was a little speechless for a moment thinking about Wang Gradual's interests, and his unyielding appearance.
"Huh, Bill?? Gates is still obsessed with technology and doesn't care about profits. Hehe, Netscape..."
"By the way," Lyman's expression became serious, "a fax from the real estate tycoon Donald saying that it is not in the interests of the United States for Asians to control the media." ”
"He wants to join us in the Twitter acquisition. ”
"Donald?" Paulson took the file and tugged at the corners of his mouth.
He picked up the phone and dialed a number.
"Giuliani, advise your friends. Do you know George?? What was the reason for Bush's visit to New York last night? ”
"He wants to compete with Goldman Sachs, Da Mo, and Flower Bank?"
"Or does he want to go bankrupt for the fourth time?"
