Chapter 1140: There Are Stars in the Sky Tonight
After reading the information at hand, it was nearly 12 o'clock in the evening. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Locked the materials in the drawer, rubbed his face while learning, stood up and stretched his waist, turned off the light and walked out of the study.
He still remembered Shan Rao's advice, when he passed by Su Yi's bedroom, he glanced at the crack in the door, but he didn't see the light, and he couldn't tell whether Su Yi was in the room from the light, so he went up the stairs to the terrace.
Pushing open the door of the terrace, I didn't see Su Yi.
Walking up to the terrace and being blown by the night breeze of late November in San Francisco, Bian Xuedao was much more sober.
Standing in front of the glass safety wall, looking at the dark sea in the distance and the sporadic lights of the fishing boats moored in the harbor, I felt a sense of loneliness in my heart.
Thinking of Shan Rao's saying that Su Yi has always gone up to the terrace alone at night recently, while learning the Tao, he instantly understood Su Yi's feelings - loneliness!
Su Yi is an only daughter, and her closest relatives are only two parents, and now her parents died suddenly due to an accident, and Su Yi has no relatives in the world.
Su Yi is one year younger than Shan Rao, the same age as Bian Xuedao, it is normal for her to be unmarried at this age, but what is "abnormal" is that after breaking up with Chen Jian, Su Yi's emotional world was blank, and she didn't accept anyone anymore.
She has no husband, no boyfriend, and only a few girlfriends.
Although he has girlfriends around him, Su Yi, who was born to do things in a measured way, will not grab his girlfriends and repeatedly pour out his sorrows.
There was no one to talk to, and the grief of the sudden death of her parents was too heavy, so Su Yi felt lonely day by day.
She couldn't help but be alone.
Her parents are gone, she wants to call if she has something on her mind, but she doesn't know who to call, and in the future, she will find a boyfriend and no one will check for her, she will get married in the future without her parents to attend the wedding, and she will be pregnant and give birth to a child in the future without her parents to take care of her, and she will be completely alone.
Thinking of getting pregnant and giving birth, Bian Xuedao suddenly remembered that a few years ago in Beidaihe, he met an old man who told fortunes.
At that time, after the old man saw Su Yi's face, he said that Su Yi was a person who had crossed the sea, his life was noble and stable, and if the first child was a daughter, he would die carefully before the age of 3......
The old man's assertion was not taken seriously at the time, but now that I look at it, is Su Yi a person who has crossed the ocean?
That's a good idea!
Belch......
The old man is a person under Zhu Haishan, and if he can't calculate accurately, he can't get into Zhu Haishan's eyes.
Thinking in a fluttering mood, Bian Xuedao recalled the scene when the two got along before Zhu Haishan died......
"Here are six lists, contact information and some information, I found you by this box. After I died, this box was useless to the Zhu family, but you are different. ”
"The choice is yours, and if you feel you need it, take it. If you don't think you need it, help me burn it now. ”
"Burned?"
"Well, it's burned. ”
"Do you think there will be?"
"I'll sit in front of you, what do you say?"
……
At this moment, Bian Xuedao suddenly realized that his "prophetic" period was running out.
Perhaps, my life is running out.
There are still 6 years left in the full count!!
6 years later, even if you survive the life and death hurdle in 2014, you have to go back to the "real" side learning Tao, no foresight, no foresight, no foresight, no step by step, to rely on your own real ability to lead the huge Youdao Group to continue to move forward.
What to do?
Use the remaining 6 years to build a super team while trying to enrich and improve your business thinking and leadership skills?
Or use the list left by Zhu Haishan to himself, and in the rest of the next few years, like Zhu Haishan, "find a needle in the sea", fish out a similar kind of person, and then learn Zhu Haishan's methods, resources for information?
Or buy an island overseas, spend a few years developing and building, and wait for 2014 to retreat bravely, with money, women, and children, and be the "king" of your own territory on the island?
All right......
No matter how you think about it, the first option is the most bitter and tiring, the second option is the most suspenseful and unreliable, and the third option is the most free and comfortable.
However, if you choose three, are you really willing?
What about these partners and colleagues in the group who have worked hard with their own businesses? Are they all willing to retire early to become rich people? Do they have no career goals and dreams except money?
Also, if you don't try and admit to "retreating bravely", will you look down on yourself from the bottom of your heart when you are dying of old age and recalling the past-"Bian Xuedao, you are a coward who is useless except to cheat with prophets!"
The night is deeper, and the night breeze is cooler.
With a shudder, Bian Xuedao, whose thoughts turned, looked up at the night sky of San Francisco.
It was cloudy, with clouds obscuring the moon and stars.
No wonder Su Yi, who "watched the stars", was not on the terrace tonight.
……
……
Zhiwei Weibo's global roadshow continues, and the enthusiasm of domestic media has not diminished in the slightest.
In the past few days, the information has been continuously summarized to Fu Caining, and then she has refined and sorted it out and reported it to Bian Xuedao for reading.
According to the report, the number of investors who requested anonymity in Asia is significantly higher than in Europe and the United States, and the bankers entrusted with the contact with Youdao and Zhiwei said: "These investors who requested anonymity are high-net-worth individuals, who are not sensitive to prices, but attach great importance to the confidentiality of their identities." ”
After reading this kind of report, Bian Xuedao put it aside, unless the share sales quota was raised, he could not give more shares to these "mysterious people".
A considerable part of Zhiwei's shares have long been carved up by institutional investors, which was one of the swap conditions for Goldman Sachs, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, Citigroup, HSBC, JPMorgan Chase and Mizuho Bank to join Zhiwei Weibo's $2 billion syndicated financing.
This deal is not a loss at all.
First of all, he used the $2 billion to lay out a lot of things in advance.
Secondly, the participation of these top international banking consortiums has increased investors' confidence in Zhiwei Weibo to a certain extent, and at the same time reduced the resistance of Zhiwei and Youdao to enter Europe and the United States.
On November 24, 2008, publicly available data showed that Zhiwei Weibo had received more than three times as many subscriptions.
On November 25, 2008, Zhiwei Weibo officially updated its prospectus.
In the latest prospectus, Zhiwei raised the guiding pricing range for the IPO to $24-28 per share, up from the previous $20-24, and the number of shares issued remained unchanged. At the same time, Zhiwei Weibo officially reiterated that the funds raised will not be transferred back to China.
According to media analysis, the purpose of this pledge is to keep the US regulators speechless and reassure European and American investors.
At 17:18 p.m. on November 26, 2008, the last stop of the Zhiwei Weibo U.S. Roadshow was held at the Taj-Campton-Place Hotel in San Francisco.
The dinner attracted more than 500 investors, including funds and investment firms such as Franklin Funds, Allianz, Matthews-Capitial and others. In addition, a number of funds with inextricable ties to Silicon Valley tech billionaires attended the roadshow dinner, including Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, venture capital gucogul Yuri Milner, and Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin.
After the media at the scene exclaimed: "Shocked Wall Street", Zhiwei Weibo also blew a whirlwind in Silicon Valley.
After the roadshow, Bian Xuedao had a meal with the team members, which was a celebration of the successful end of the American roadshow.
The meal lasted for more than 4 hours, and at 12:45 at night, Bian Xuedao returned to the apartment drunk.
Shan Rao had already fallen asleep, and the air in the apartment was filled with the scent of cream.
After a simple wash, Bian Xuedao leaned on the railing and went upstairs, and when he passed by the door of Su Yi's bedroom, he stopped and glanced at the crack in the door, there was no light inside.
Trying to remember if there were any stars tonight, but he couldn't remember anything, shook his head, and walked up the stairs to the terrace.
Pushing open the door of the terrace, he saw Su Yi standing by the artificial lawn wrapped in a thick woolen shawl.
Walking up to the terrace, I subconsciously glanced up at the sky.
Belch......
There are stars in the sky tonight.
