Chapter 12: Seizing the Future

……

The breakfast on the farm was simple milk bread, and in less than half an hour, Guo Shouyun finished eating.

"Bruce, I told Old York. He came at half past nine this morning. ”

"Got it, Uncle Blair!"

"Jingle bell...!"

Just then, his cell phone rang.

Looking at the caller ID, Guo Shouyun was in high spirits, and quickly wiped his hands and pressed the answer button.

"Bruce, good morning!"

"Good morning, Paige Senior!"

"I've discussed the investment with the rest of the board. ”

"Really, isn't it time for Senior Page to tell me the good news?"

"Hehe, at two o'clock this afternoon, I'm waiting for you in the office, remember to bring a lawyer!"

"No problem!"

After hanging up the phone, Guo Shouyun could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart, and clenched his fist and waved it vigorously in the air a few times. As long as all goes well this afternoon, he will get a 40% stake in the Internet search giant, and even if he will reduce his holdings when he goes public, it will still be a super wealth worth more than $300 billion in fifteen years.

300 billion US dollars, enough to spend in dozens of lifetimes!

"Bruce, you didn't take the wrong medicine, did you?"

Stunned by his bizarre actions, Mata Lincoln couldn't help but complain.

There was no time to pay attention to the surprised expressions of the Lincoln family, grabbing the coat on the table, Guo Shouyun ran out non-stop. Even though it was still five or six hours before two o'clock in the afternoon, he could no longer control his eagerness.

"Catherine, from now on you will be the CEO of Kuok's Business Group. I have given you carte blanche to negotiate the acquisition of York Farm this morning. You can control the specific purchase price, but I only ask for one thing, the time for the payment of funds will be put into two months, for which we are willing to pay no more than $300,000 royalty!"

When he was about to run out of the house, Guo Shouyun remembered what he had promised this morning, and quickly turned around and explained.

"Okay, I got it!"

Seeing her nod in agreement, Guo Shouyun ran out of the house in a hurry.

"Uncle Blair, Aunt Mary, I'll come back to see you later when I have time!"

Voices were heard farther and farther away through the open door.

"Bruce, what's wrong?"

The Lincolns, who had just come back to their senses, looked at Guo Shouyun's distant back and couldn't help but ask.

"Looks like this guy is going to negotiate a big deal!"

Mata Lincoln rubbed his chin and finished speaking with great interest, then turned his gaze to Catherine to the side.

"Bruce gave you the right to run the farm?"

"Hmm!"

Catherine, who was elegantly eating breakfast, nodded.

"Together with the fresh food store?"

"That's right!"

"Tsk, Bruce is so bold. ”

"Why, do you think I can't manage the farm and the fresh food business?"

Looking at his sister's cold eyes, recalling the unpleasant experience when he was a child, Mata quickly shook his head and sneered: "How come, I was about to say that in addition to being bold, Bruce's decision is really wise." ”

"Count you as acquaintances!"

Seeing Catherine's attention shift back to the plate, Mata Lincoln, who felt that she had survived, was secretly relieved.

……

"Lawyer Davis?"

On the way back to Mountain View, Guo Shouyun dialed the cell phone of George Davis, a top business lawyer at the international law firm Baker McKenzie International Law Firm he was familiar with.

"Mr. Guo, is that you?"

"It's me! I wonder if you have time around two o'clock this afternoon?"

"Two o'clock this afternoon?"

"Yes!"

"I'll take a look at the schedule first!"

"Okay!"

A moment later, a positive answer came from the phone.

"There's time!"

"Great, Attorney Davis, I have a business negotiation at two o'clock in the afternoon, and I would like you to be here as my lawyer. ”

"Yes, where?"

"2500 Xinghai Park, Mountain View, you call me 5 minutes before you arrive at your destination, and we will go up together after we meet. ”

"Understood! At two o'clock this afternoon, 2500 Xinghai Park, Mountain View, the time and address are correct, right?"

"That's right!"

"I remembered. If it's okay, I'll go get ready. ”

"Okay, Attorney Davis, see you in the afternoon!"

"See you in the afternoon!"

After hanging up the phone, Guo Shouyun sighed.

Although he also studied economics at Stanford, he also learned the details of business contract making, but this time the negotiation with Google was too important. Guo Shouyun doesn't want anything to go wrong in the most important places. Therefore, an experienced business lawyer is a must.

Hurried back to the LinkedIn office in Mountain View. As soon as I sat down and was pondering my afternoon negotiations with Google, there was a knock on the office door.

"Come in!"

"Squeak!"

With the slight friction sound, the hair was pulled high, the upper body was Chanel white women's suit, the lower body was a black skirt and flesh-colored stockings, and a pair of 'Roger Vivia' black semi-high-heeled square-buckled shoes, more than 180 cm tall, Wendy Solo, who had an outstanding demeanor and a beautiful appearance, pushed the door and walked in.

Seeing her, pleasing to the eye, Guo Shouyun realized that he is now also a person with a secretary.

"Boss, I will arrange your work schedule for you in the future!"

Guo Shouyun nodded.

"Don't worry about anything else, you can do two things for me first. ”

"Please ask the boss to command. ”

"Give me a house to rent in the neighborhood that doesn't need to be too big and doesn't need to be too luxurious. As long as the surroundings are nice and quiet!"

Mountain View is not far from Stanford, but it's not that close. It took him more than an hour to drive back and forth each time. Guo Shouyun, who needs the most time to develop now, is obviously unwilling to waste more than an hour on the road.

"Got it, do you have anything else, like a décor?"

Looking at the serious expression on the face of the beautiful woman in front of him, Guo Shouyun thought about it.

"Modern simplicity is fine, it doesn't have to be too complicated!"

Guo Shouyun doesn't know how long he will live in a temporarily rented house. Naturally, it doesn't take much thought.

"The second thing is that you will do some research on the development of the American game industry for me, as well as the details of the major game companies, and then write a detailed report to me. ”

Wendy frowned, "How long will I have to prepare this investigation report?"

"A month!"

Hearing this, Wendy breathed a sigh of relief, a month was long enough.

"Just these two things. If you're okay next, go out and get busy!"

Guo Shouyun waved his hand.

Looking at the man working at the desk, Wendy Solo frowned slightly, then turned around and walked out.

Guo Shouyun now has no time to take into account other people's ideas, according to the development plan he has set for himself, the next two months are the first critical period of his career development, and there can be no mistakes in any link. Therefore, after having an eyebrow on Google's investment, he also began to grasp the writing of "Fifty Shades of Grey" and "Pirates of the Caribbean".

At noon, Wendy ordered a takeout to deal with after lunch. Guo Shouyun saw that the time was about the same, so he closed the computer, picked up the file bag, pushed the door and walked out.

"Boss...!"

"You don't have to follow me, just remember to complete the task I gave you! Call me if you have something, so be it!"

After the words fell, Guo Shouyun did not give Wendy Solow any chance to refute, turned around and left the LinkedIn office area.

Looking at his back as he left in a hurry, Wendy Solo wondered if there was something wrong with her charm? You must know that when she first came, she planned in her heart that if this guy wanted to eat her tofu as a boss, she would teach the other party a hard lesson, make him embarrassed in front of everyone, and then resign.

"But that's fine, I don't have to change jobs all the time!"

Thinking of this, Wendy Solo ignored the 'admiration' and 'eagerness' eyes around her and returned to her desk.

……

Guo Shouyun drove to the bottom of Google and waited for about five minutes before the figure of George Davis appeared in front of him.

"Lawyer Davis!"

"Mr. Guo, I'm not late, am I?"

"No, the time is just right!"

"Then let's go up!"

"Let's go!"

After a polite gesture, the two shook hands, and then walked towards the Google office area together. On the way, Guo Shouyun briefly told George Davis about the content of the negotiation.

George Davis, who personally handled the formation of the Guo family trust, was surprised that Guo Shouyun was able to come up with a huge amount of $80 million to invest in Google. However, he will not ask about the relationship of professional ethics and things that should not be his concern.
