New York, Manhattan.

Broadway stretches into a street on the East River, only 1/3 of a mile long, about 500 meters, only 11 meters wide, 7 sections are narrow and short, but this is the financial center of the United States and even the world.

Wall Street, a famous street where the headquarters and managers of many large groups and companies such as banking, insurance, shipping, and petroleum are gathered, as well as the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ, and New York Board of Trade.

15 Wall Street, Goldman Sachs Group Building.

A Rolls-Royce Gust Extended Edition was parked steadily at the entrance of the building, and the golden Flying Goddess logo on the front of the car was very eye-catching, attracting the frequent attention of passers-by, so much so that they ignored the two Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicles that stopped behind them.

As soon as Rolls-Royce stopped, a uniformed doorman immediately stepped forward quickly, bowed down and opened the door of the back seat.

"Thank you. ”

Luo Kai got out of the car.

Instead of rushing to the steps leading to the headquarters of Goldman Sachs, he turned around and pulled Mo Lan out of Rolls-Royce.

Holding Mo Lan's slender hand, Luo Kai stood in front of the building for a moment, looking around at the surrounding landscape.

Luo Kai is not Grandma Liu, and Wall Street is not Grand View Garden, the reason why he hesitates to look around is just to confirm with the Wall Street in the dream world.

The surrounding high-rise buildings seem familiar, the same narrow and bustling streets, the same bustling crowds of people, and the star-striped flags planted on the buildings, as if they will never land.

Very familiar feeling.

It's just that the Goldman Sachs headquarters in Dreamland is not here, and next door to this beautiful building is the famous New York Stock Exchange, and there is a striking bronze bull statue in front of the door.

Seeing this bronze bull statue, Luo Kai couldn't help but smile.

In his dreamland, he first came to Wall Street as a tourist, visited the New York Stock Exchange with the tour group, and took a photo with the bronze bull statue.

But the statue of the bronze bull is not in front of the New York Stock Exchange, but in Bowling Green Park, a few blocks away.

The bronze bull statue in front of you is also different from the shape and size of the dream world, the bull's head is raised upward, the shape is majestic and majestic, symbolizing struggle and resistance to fate.

And the story on it is very different.

In the early 90s of the last century, a financial crisis broke out in the United States, the New York stock market crashed, many banks and companies collapsed, and a stockbroker named Hemingway lost his job, as well as his family, house, and was forced to live on the streets.

But this strong man did not let life crush him, and after becoming a homeless man, he studied painting and sculpture with a street artist, making a living by painting portraits of tourists.

One day, Hemingway had a whimsical idea to build a bronze bull statue on the New York Stock Exchange, where he had fought, to express the spirit of still fighting and fighting hard in the face of adversity.

However, how difficult it was to realize this dream, considering that it would cost at least two or three hundred thousand dollars to build such a statue, and he did not even have a few hundred dollars.

Luckily, Hemingway's dream was supported by a group of wandering and street artists in New York, who worked together to raise money for Hemingway and even collect materials for him to build a bronze bull statue.

Finally, in 1996, Hemingway got his wish by erecting a bronze bull statue more than 5 meters long and weighing more than 7 tons at the entrance of the New York Stock Exchange, declaring it a symbol of "American strength and courage".

Since then, the statue has become a symbol of the New York Stock Exchange, and visitors from all over the world come here to take pictures with the statue and stroke the horns for good luck.

It is worth mentioning that after receiving this gift, the New York Stock Exchange was willing to give Hemingway a job, but Hemingway refused, and he continued to live and create with street artists in New York.

And now looking at this bronze bull statue, Luo Kai can't help but wonder if Hemingway also had a dream, a dream of seeing the bronze bull statue in a similar but different world.

Unfortunately, the answer is impossible to find, because three years ago, Hemingway died.

But his most famous works remain here and will continue to be few.

"Would you like to go over and have a look?"

Mo Lan noticed Luo Kai's eyes staring at the bronze bull statue not far away, and thought that he wanted to take a group photo.

Luo Kai smiled dumbly, shook his head and said, "Let's go in." ”

Next to him, Li Mengru and the people of the negotiation team are here!

Luo Kai and Mo Lan, who led the team to the headquarters of Goldman Sachs Group, were ceremoniously welcomed by the senior management of Goldman Sachs led by President Phillips.

The meeting was pleasant, but the negotiations that followed were tense.

This is a very normal thing, politeness is politeness, welcome is welcome, even if there is an extremely deep friendship and huge interests involved, the real Wall Street elite has always been cold and realistic.

What's more, Luo Kai's team has no friendship with Goldman Sachs' senior management at all, and of course the two sides must fight for their own interests.

In fact, no one expects that today's first contact will lead to any results or a cooperation agreement.

As a leading short video and live broadcast platform, Kuaiyin Technology not only has an absolutely large market share in China, but also conquers cities and territories in the international market, and its huge development potential is obvious to all.

Goldman Sachs, of course, is eager to swallow this big cake, but it can't eat alone, it's nothing more than how much share it can get.

Therefore, Goldman Sachs put forward various suggestions for Luo Kai's Kuaiyin shares.

At present, Luo Kai still has an absolute controlling stake in Kuaiyin, and if Kuaiyin Technology wants to be listed on the NASDAQ, his shares must be reduced by half, otherwise it will definitely not meet the requirements.

However, Kuaiyin's valuation has been increasing, and if Luo Kai reduces a large number of shares at this time, it will undoubtedly be equivalent to cutting his own flesh to feed the capital represented by Goldman Sachs.

Of course, Luo Kai couldn't do such a stupid thing, so there was something to talk about.

And Luo Kai himself did not directly participate in this negotiation, not that he does not understand business negotiations, but he has always believed in the principle of "professional things let professionals do it", since he chose to let Li Mengru's team complete it, he naturally will not interfere.

In fact, such negotiations will continue many times until Kuaiyin's value reaches a reasonable level, until his stake is reduced to a reasonable level, and until the two parties reach a final agreement.

That's when Kuayin Technology was listed on the NASDAQ!
