After returning to the hotel, McKinsey and her husband immediately spoke on the phone.

Before coming this time, the couple discussed privately that under the premise that assuming everything in China and this investor made them very satisfied and willing to accept his investment, no matter how much money the other party gave, the equity paid could not exceed 10%.

In other words, McKinsey and Liang Yifei talked about the future, in fact, they gave them the highest share they could give.

No matter how fanciful Liang Yifei says, no matter how much McKinsey appreciates Liang Yifei, and how consistent Liang Yifei and Jeff Bezos are about the Internet, in the final analysis, Liang Yifei is not a world-renowned investment bank after all, whether it is experience, credibility, money and the help that can be brought to Amazon in the short term, it is far inferior to the world's big investment banks.

Jeff McKinsey himself is a Wall Street executive, not only an Internet entrepreneur, and those science and engineering men have a completely different background, and are very familiar with a series of financial processes such as financing and listing publicity, as well as relevant contacts and paths, otherwise, under normal circumstances, most American entrepreneurs will probably choose a local or global investment bank with background and strength like Yang Zhiyuan of Yahoo, rather than a Chinese entrepreneur.

However, although the upper limit of equity negotiated by the couple was 10%, it did not break through, but in terms of price, McKinsey finally made certain concessions, and their previous expectation was also five million US dollars, but it must be paid in a lump sum, and Liang Yifei could only pay half of it first, and then half, and invest it within a year.

This method is very rare, Internet companies like Amazon are developing very quickly, maybe half a year later, the second round of financing, the valuation will show a tenfold rise, and then this money can only buy one-tenth of the current shares.

On the other end of the phone, after listening to his wife, Jeff McKinsey said without hesitation: "Money is not actually a problem, my dear, you have to think about it this way, even if he gives us five million at a time, will we spend it in a month or two? Of course not, it is nothing more than a loss of interest from the bank." Of course, these interest are not very small money, but in general, they do not affect the overall situation. ”

said, said with a smile: "I'm very interested in this person, listening to your tone, I have a good impression of him?"

"Strictly speaking, today I was shocked by him, the whole conversation and my train of thought, as if he had been guiding me. Looking back now, my decision today may have been a bit hasty. ”

McKinsey said with some annoyance: "This Mr. Liang is completely different from the Chinese entrepreneur we imagined. It's not just that he speaks English fluently, but if you tell me on another occasion that he's a Wall Street executive, or the leader of a U.S. listed company, I wouldn't hesitate to believe him. I even think he has the temperament of a White House official and a university professor. ”

"My dear, then I must say that you have either met the devil or God. On the other end of the phone, Jeff Bezuo laughed and said, "Talk to me about this Chinese in detail." ”

McKinsey spent almost two hours on the long-distance phone call and told her husband in detail about the entire process of meeting Liang Yifei from beginning to end, without missing any details, and added a lot of his own analysis and opinions.

When she finished speaking, there was silence on the other end of the phone for more than ten seconds, and then some murmurs came.

"My dear?" said Ms. McKinsey, in front of Jeff Bezos, more like Mrs. Bezos, who was in a hurry to negotiate with the other party today, and was worried that her husband would blame her, and said cautiously, "Actually...... The decision on the financing of the company only makes sense if you agree, I am just one of your envoys......"

"Oh no, no dear, we have to keep our promises and not change ourselves for some reason that is not fatal. I was getting ready for breakfast, damn it, you're not at home, I burnt the bread. ”

Bezos laughed childishly before saying, "Your decision represents me, and besides, I think your decision is not only hasty, but also very clever." ”

"Huh?" McKinsey was slightly stunned, isn't this coaxing himself?

Ordinary family life can be coaxed, but in the company's general policy, the company's development should be more important.

"My dear, the future prospects of the Eastern market are not to be considered for now. We are completely familiar with the Western world, but we know very little about the East, don't you think it is a very interesting thing to get in touch with and understand the East? I think it is perfectly cost-effective to make some investments for the sake of interesting things, or to say that appropriate benefits are transferred. To understand an interesting world, you must find an interesting person as a guide, otherwise the process of understanding may be quite boring. ”

On the other end of the phone, Jeff Bezos seemed to take a sip of some liquid, sucked it up, and then continued: "Speaking of business, there are several places worth seeing in the East, Japan's economy and politics are very mature, opportunities are limited, their so-called four tigers, the territory and population are limited, the potential is limited, except for China, everything is in the process of re-establishing order." Sooner or later, we have to find a collaborator, and why can't that be him? At least he, like me, wants to explore the universe, and as a digression, I immediately have a desire to build a spaceship. ”

"Okay Jeff, put away your childishness for now. McKinsey rubbed his eyebrows with a little headache and said, "Then give us another 24 hours to consider each other, and after 24 hours, if we all think about it seriously, and we all calm down and still agree to this plan, we will discuss the specific details with Mr. Liang, and then sign an agreement?"

"Okay, dear......" Jeff Bezos' voice was also a little helpless.

Sun Dawei sees people very accurately, Bezos and his wife, Mrs. Bezos is indeed a ballast stone-like existence, and will always think calmly with Mr. Bezos again and again before making a major decision when he is more excited and aggressive.

Mr. Bezos is passionate, Mrs. Bezos is calm and calm, Mr. Bezos is creative, and Mrs. Bezos is down-to-earth.

But so far, the two of them don't seem to have changed any important decisions.

Hanging up the phone, McKinsey yawned and leaned back on the couch a little tiredly.

"Auntie, this Mr. Liang is really unexpected. In the outer room of the suite, the female translator walked in in a silk pajamas, sat across from McKinsey, and smiled her two startlingly long thighs on the coffee table.

McKinsey looked at her leg and said, "Grace, you're being rude today." ”

"Me?" asked Grace, the translator and McKinsey's niece, with wide eyes.

"You're a well-educated professional secretary, and when you were an intern on Wall Street, I thought you were polite to everyone, and even if you didn't like it, you kept your demeanor, but today, what's wrong with you? You shouldn't be so obviously unkind to someone who has welcomed us warmly. ”

"Hey, I'm sitting behind you, how do you know I'm not kind to him?" asked Grace curiously.

"Do you think your aunt is really a comedian?!" McKinsey said angrily, "If it weren't for your unkind behavior to him, how could he have looked at you in that way several times?

Coincidentally, in addition to Sun Dawei and Liang Yifei, many American friends also joked in private, saying that Mr. and Mrs. Bezos looked like comedians, which made Mrs. Bezos a little unpleasant.

It's not that she looks down on comedians, it's just that she doesn't think she looks like her husband.

It's like a rabbit, others say it's like a cat, and it's always unpleasant to be mistaken by others.

Those who are familiar with it know that this is a sensitive point of Mrs. Bezos, but Mr. Bezos is very proud of it.

"I'll admit that I may have misunderstood him at first, but what he said at first was really despicable. Grace pouted.

"The problem is not here. McKinsey said: "At the beginning of Wall Street, where the most shameless and despicable and shady people in the United States and even the world gathered, it was even dirtier than the White House, but there, you did not show disgust to anyone, you controlled your emotions very well, and you were able to clearly separate your personal feelings from work." But what is the state of mind of your performance today?"

Grace was stunned by this, showed a confused look, and muttered, "Huh? ”

"Maybe your previous cognition influenced you, but before you came, didn't you complain to me that a Chinese entrepreneur has something worth observing?"

McKinsey said lightly: "You show disgust for him, maybe not mainly because of his words, but subconsciously, he is not a Wall Street executive, the CEO of a US listed company, but just a Chinese boss, so you are using the identity of the other party to make moral judgments, I must say, this is misplaced." ”

"I ...... I ......" Grace was said with a little unpleasantness on her face, but I was for a long time, and finally she was deflated and said, "Maybe you are right, I got something wrong." ”

"I don't know what most Chinese entrepreneurs are like, but I would advise you not to underestimate this man, the only reason he makes you feel inferior to those Wall Street executives is probably because he was born in China. However, in China, there will be more and more such outstanding talents. ”

After McKinsey finished speaking, Grace seemed to understand or not, and then suddenly felt that something was not right, raised her head, and asked suspiciously: "Auntie, what are you saying to me about this?!"
