After staying in Half Moon Bay for one night, Bian Xuedao wanted to see the sunrise in the bay, but he waited for a cloudy day. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The natural landscape of the world, except for the underground caves, the scenery is very different when there is sun and when there is no sun, so I walked on the beach for a while, and went home without interest.

Back at the hotel, Musk and several other investors were waiting for Bian Xuedao to have breakfast together.

With the gradual rise in popularity, more and more investors and investment institutions have begun to be interested in Youdao Group, so it is rare to have a chance to have dinner with the founder and chairman of Youdao Group.

Among these people was a tall white man in his 40s named Mark, who came from Goldman Sachs.

Mark worked with Hong Chengfu, but later Hong Chengfu jumped ship to SoftBank, and Mark stayed at Goldman Sachs. Although he is no longer in the same company, Mark and Hong Chengfu have always kept in touch, a year ago Mark took his wife to France for a vacation, met Hong Chengfu and Pei Tong, and played together for three days.

Later, Goldman Sachs was very interested in the rising Youdao Group, and Mark recommended himself and became a "knocker".

Mark knocked on Hong Chengfu's door first.

Hong Chengfu is an investment background, and he is not surprised by Mark's arrival at all.

The world of capital has always been like this, sometimes it is the enterprise to find money, sometimes the money to find the enterprise, and no matter who is looking for whom, if the cooperation can be reached in the end, it must be a win-win situation, that is, the capital uses the enterprise to earn back more capital, and the enterprise uses the capital to expand rapidly.

After obtaining the consent of Bian Xuedao, Hong Chengfu, on behalf of Youdao, exchanged the willingness and ideas of cooperation between the two sides with Mark, who represented Goldman Sachs.

After reaching a preliminary consensus, Mark returned to the United States and waited for Bian Xuedao, because there were some things that Hong Chengfu had no right to express his position and needed to make a decision on Bian Xuedao.

In the restaurant, breakfast was very harmonious.

American-style table socialization is very different from Chinese table culture, listening to people talk about the California weather from Mavericks Beach, a surfing mecca in Half Moon Bay, from yachting to grouper, while listening with relish, occasionally interjecting a sentence.

From the beginning to the end, no one talked about the economy, no one talked about politics, it was all idle chatter. However, everyone knows that after eating this meal, even if there is a relationship, it is different to deal with people you don't know.

Bian Xuedao's itinerary is to return to San Francisco in the morning, say goodbye to Musk and go out, Mark quickly chased out: "Mr. Bian, I'm Mark, I'm from Goldman Sachs, Hong should have told you about me, can I take up a little bit of your time?"

Bian Xuedao glanced at his watch and said, "Let's go talk in the car." ”

Before getting into the car, as is customary, Muron searched Mark's body.

Then Mark and Bian Xuedao got into the car, and the bodyguards surrounded the car, with their backs to the car to guard.

In the car.

Mark took out a document from his briefcase and opened it, and the contents were in duplicate, one in English and one in Chinese.

After taking the document and reading it for a while, Bian Xuedao confirmed that it was the same as the document faxed to him by Hong Chengfu, put down the document, he looked at Mark and asked, "Can you talk to me on behalf of Goldman Sachs?"

Mark said with a smile: "I'm a partner at Goldman Sachs, and I have a certain amount of discretion when it comes to finding opportunities to work with. ”

"Definitely?" asked Bian Xuedao, looking at Mark.

Mark calmly looked at Bian Xuedao and said: "Compared with you, my power is definitely limited, but please believe in the professionalism of Goldman Sachs' partners." ”

Bian Xuedao nodded lightly and said, "Then let's continue talking." ”

Mark put away his briefcase, sat up straight and said: "Goldman Sachs' requirements are very simple, if there is a Dow Group listed within 3 years, cooperate with Goldman Sachs according to Clause 1, if there is a Dow Group listed within 5 years, cooperate with Goldman Sachs according to Clause 2, if there is a Dow Group listed within 8 years, cooperate with Goldman Sachs according to Clause 3." ”

Bian Xuedao smiled and asked, "What if there is a way that is not listed?"

Mark said: "We have made relevant assessments before coming to meet you, and from the perspective of Youdao's industry layout, you have already laid the groundwork for listing. ”

Bian Xuedao leaned back on his seat and asked leisurely: "If there is a way, Goldman Sachs has agreed?"

Mark nodded and said, "Yes, Goldman Sachs will give up a wholly-owned subsidiary and merge it into an offshore company under your name, and we will not announce the change of ownership of the company, and nominally this company is still Goldman Sachs." At the same time, Goldman Sachs will fully assist Youdao Group to go public and help Youdao Group mobilize funds. ”

All right......

The so-called mobilization of funds is actually capital flow, which is also where Bian Xuedao needs the help of a top financial investment bank like Goldman Sachs the most. He has several large investments in the United States, including Timona Entertainment, and the North American general agent of Dajiang UAV, these things, if there is a layer of "cover-up", can increase the security of capital to a certain extent.

After Mark finished speaking, the car fell silent.

Bian Xuedao thought for more than a minute, and stretched out his hand to Mark: "Happy cooperation, I hope to see Goldman Sachs' professionalism." ”

Mark shook hands with Bian Xuedao and said confidently: "Please rest assured, there are some things that we are the most professional. ”

……

Half Moon Bay was covered with clouds, and San Francisco, 20 miles away, was covered in blue skies.

At the first stop in San Francisco, Bian Xuedao "suddenly attacked" the office of Timona Entertainment.

In front of the elevator in the lobby on the first floor of the office building, he unexpectedly met Su Yi, who was also going upstairs.

Su Yi is still the same hairstyle as before, or the previous dress, but goodbye Su Yi, Bian Xuedao clearly felt that Su Yi had changed, compared with before her parents' accident, Su Yi's temperament was more calm and indifferent, a little bit of the shadow of Shen Fu when she first saw her in class, but it was completely different from the aura exuded by Shen Fu.

Seeing Bian Xuedao, Su Yi was in a trance for two or three seconds, she blinked her eyes in surprise, and asked Bian Xuedao: "When did you come to San Francisco?"

Bian Xuedao pointed to the flowers in Li Bing's hand and said, "I arrived yesterday and participated in a private drinking party, Shan Rao didn't know that I was coming, and I just wanted to surprise her." ”

The elevator arrived.

Seeing the sturdy bodyguards beside Bian Xuedao, the others consciously gave up the entire elevator to Bian Xuedao and Su Yi.

The elevator door closed, and when he was going up, Su Yi suddenly said: "Oh, I know, you are here to promote the listing on Weibo." ”

Bian Xuedao said: "Yes. ”

Su Yi turned his head to look at Bian Xuedao and asked, "Are you all ready?"

Bian Xuedao said with a smile: "I made a lot of preparations, but to be honest, I was a little nervous. ”

Su Yi turned his head, looked at the reflection of Xuedao and himself on the elevator door, and said, "take-your-time, do-not-be-hurry." ”

in the office.

Seeing Bian Xuedao who suddenly appeared, Shan Rao was so happy that she almost jumped up, but within two minutes, she pouted in disappointment.

When the outsiders all went out, he put down the blinds, and pulled Shan Rao to ask, "What's the matter?" blame me for not informing you in advance that I was coming?"

Shan Rao shook her head, put her mouth to Bian Xuedao's ear and whispered, "The eldest aunt just arrived yesterday." ”

Bian Xuedao smiled and said, "Why am I upset about you......"

Shan Rao sat on Bian Xuedao's lap, hugged Bian Xuedao's neck and said, "Don't you want to?"

Bian Xuedao said: "It's almost March and I don't know the taste of meat, why don't you want to? This time I want to stay in the United States for a while, and my aunt will definitely go before me, and you will suffer at that time." ”

Rolling her eyes, Shan Rao blew into Bian Xuedao's ear and said, "Otherwise, let Su Yi help you defeat the fire, I don't eat her jealousy, she will definitely be willing." ”

Bian Xuedao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, looked down and saw Shan Rao with a bad smile, raised his hand and slapped Shan Rao's buttocks: "What are you talking about, don't make such jokes." ”

Completely ignoring Bian Xuedao's attitude, Shan Rao continued to smile and said: "What I said is true, Su Yi has actually always had you in her heart, but she has been pursued by others since she was a child, you don't take the initiative to chase her, and she doesn't have my cheekiness, so I can only hide you in my heart." ”

Staring at Shan Rao's eyes for a few seconds, to make sure that Shan Rao was not joking, Bian Xuedao looked at a white ceramic beckoning cat on Shan Rao's desk and said, "Su Yi is an attractive woman, but I already have you, and I have no time to appreciate it." ”

……

Yanjing.

Fan Qingyu, who was on fire, didn't care about being polite, and after calling Ruan Min, she directly asked Ruan Min to help her contact a tertiary hospital, preferably one with authoritative experts in oncology.

On the phone, Ruan Min promised Fan Qingyu to contact a friend in the hospital immediately, saying that he would call Fan Qingyu back as soon as there was news.

To end the call, Ruan Min took out another mobile phone from his bag and dialed a number.

"Minister, it's me, Ye Qiu. ”
