Chapter 209: Goldman Sachs Comes
On this day at the end of April, Fan Liancheng was in his office.
Feng Dafa sat on the sofa and picked up a cup to take a sip of tea. His eyes kept looking at the white foreigner sitting next to him, waiting for the other party to praise the good tea in Chinese, and finally did not worry about the language barrier.
was already broken, and it was uncomfortable not to speak for a minute, so he asked curiously: "That...... The American people are living well, right?"
This question confused the other party, and he couldn't figure out the identity of Lao Feng, but finally nodded with a smile and replied in Chinese: "It's not bad, I came here for more than three years, except for the plane hitting the building, other times are very good." ”
Lao Feng rarely chatted with foreigners, and then asked: "Oh, how much do you have tomatoes over there a pound?" I just bought them yesterday, eight cents a pound, I heard that the price in the United States is very high?"
“...... It's a bit high compared to this, I don't know the price of these things, it's generally the housekeeper's responsibility, if you want to know I can help you ask. ”
It's just casual talk, he is not only a guest who came to see Fan Liancheng, but also a rich man with a housekeeper at home, how dare Lao Feng bother the other party to make a special phone call to help ask the price of tomatoes because of this trivial matter.
Hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, our boss will be there later, speaking of which, my daughter-in-law also had the opportunity to go to the United States for exchange, but then she didn't do it because the tuition was too expensive, and fortunately she didn't make it, otherwise it wouldn't have fallen into my hands." Columbia University, have you heard of it?"
“...... Of course, I've heard of it, it's similar to Tsinghua University and Peking University here, I should have heard of it, my alma mater is Yale. ”
"What? Oh, yes, yes, it's a good school. ”
Lao Feng is in his forties, and it is not easy to type on a computer, and now the information transmission channel is like that, so it is no wonder that he has never heard of Yale's name.
This white man from the senior management position of Goldman Sachs in Greater China is a depressed person at the moment, running around on weekdays, and he has seen a lot of people, asking him how many pounds of tomatoes are still the first one, wondering if he is engaged in the agricultural futures business.
......
This morning, Fan Liancheng received a phone call saying that someone had pulled a cart of construction waste and dumped it at the door of the bar, and sprayed the words "Noise disturbs the people, get out of the community!!" on the gate with paint.
It was indeed a bit noisy last night, and more than 20 supercars came alone.
However, it seems a bit unreasonable to say that in one night, the residents were forced to play this kind of trick, first finding the construction waste, and then transporting it by car and dumping it at the door.
After all, in addition to the sound of sports cars, in order to avoid noise, even some windows were deliberately sealed during the wall renovation, and the nearest building was almost 20 meters away from the small building where the nightclub is located, and the music could not be heard when the windows were closed.
Thinking about it this way, the objects of the fun tricks on the opening night were mainly concentrated in the surrounding bars, because of the conflict of interests involved, it seemed that they wanted to pull the tiger and pull the banner and use the power of the community residents to drive away the bars.
Zhao Sturgeon and Ge Junfa rushed to finish the calculation with Fan Liancheng, planning to start from the muck body first, find out the culprit and put it to death, the other party bullied them first, this time Fan Liancheng didn't choose to be a peacemaker.
The other is to eliminate the impact as soon as possible, wipe what should be wiped, and tow away what should be towed, so as not to affect the normal business tonight, it is necessary to call the police and send additional security guards, Han Manxing also learned the news.
Affecting business is only one aspect, and more importantly, it is equivalent to being slapped in the face together, and this breath cannot be swallowed.
——————————
After Fan Liancheng saw off the two friends, he drank some iced coffee to suppress the anger, and then pushed the door back to his office.
Fortunately, I didn't hear Feng Dafa talking to his guests, otherwise I guess I would have to think about whether I should transfer him to the construction site to supervise the work, so as not to always make a serious mess.
At this time, I changed to English, said hello to the senior partner of Goldman Sachs named Robert Rooney, sat down and continued:
"You asked me about it on the phone, I have seriously considered it, and I am certainly willing to accept the decision to invest in my venture capital business, with you partners, it is conducive to negotiating with those startups when starting a business, mainly to facilitate the listing and financing in the future.
But just invest in my Fans Holdings, you can set up a new joint venture, we will talk about the specific details today, and it is expected to be able to come up with about 100 million US dollars, what about you?"
Goldman Sachs offered to cooperate with Fan Liancheng to enter the mainland venture capital market, focusing on the Internet industry, but also small and medium-sized enterprises in other industries.
Fan Liancheng was very direct, and this way of talking made the Goldman Sachs Greater China executive like it, and he said in a slightly embarrassed tone: "For a newly established venture capital company, is it too much for you to invest $100 million unilaterally? Our plan here is only $10 million to $20 million, and we can already do a lot of things." ”
Goldman Sachs' model Fan Liancheng is well aware that there are a large number of senior partners, and only one of them is sitting across from him.
I don't pay much attention to it, and said decisively: "This money can't even invest in a relatively good company, even if it invests in a very small proportion of shares, such as investing in other sub-businesses of Alibaba, I mean private-to-private e-commerce."
If you were only willing to work with me for this kind of small business, then I would not agree to the fact that I still have a lot of money in my account with your company, Mr. Rooney, you should know very well, right? ”
People often say that foreigners are arrogant and arrogant, and this phenomenon is also divided into people, at least Fan Liancheng's worth is far more than Robert Rooney's "senior working boy", and the annual salary of one million dollars is like a fun in front of him, and he will be gone when he laughs.
Robert Rooney didn't think what Fan Liancheng said was too arrogant, and if he thought about the money his company was willing to take out, it was really less, so it was no wonder that the other party didn't look down on it.
is relatively powerful, and as soon as his mind turned, Robert Rooney made the decision on the spot and said:
"If you are willing to cooperate, the start-up capital should be raised to 30 million US dollars, and I will have to negotiate with the headquarters before I can give you an answer. It's just start-up capital, it doesn't mean anything, and if you come across a start-up that satisfies you and us, you can always invest additional funds.
I understand how rich you are, and I believe in your vision of choosing valuable investment objects, otherwise I would not be sitting here today, with your fame and strength, it will be of great help in the negotiations, and we Goldman Sachs have complete financing and listing channels, and the cooperation between the two sides will be successful. ”
“...... It's okay, but first of all, the right to speak must belong to me. ”
Fan Liancheng is not too short of money recently, and this amount of investment does not make him feel very important, it is nothing more than cooperation between the two sides and betting on the future together, and he feels that it can increase his status in the eyes of start-up managers, which is relatively beneficial.
Since receiving the call, I have seriously considered and made a decision, and now I have a good idea of business, and in just a few minutes, I have finalized the intention of cooperation, and then we talk about the current global financial environment.
As for how to retreat from the "air force" of Hong Kong stocks, this problem has plagued Fan Liancheng for many days......
