When Zhang Ran heard that the other party was from Goldman Sachs, he immediately sneered: "I have nothing to talk to you about!

Gary Cohen hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhang, the peak of the century is planning to hunt Wanda, and we can help you." ”

Zhang Ran doesn't have a good impression of Goldman Sachs at all, this company has no humanity, one second everyone is still cooperating, but the next second it may betray you. Not only for the peak of the century, but many companies have been sold by them.

At the end of 2004, when China Aviation Oil lost more than 4 billion yuan in international crude oil derivatives trading, most of the media focused on Chen Jiulin, the person in charge of the incident. But it was later discovered that it was Goldman Sachs Singapore Jerun that guided the transaction. Goldman Sachs, as an investment adviser, guided China Aviation Oil to be bearish on oil prices, but it actively went long on oil prices in the international market and secretly carried out reverse operations.

Matt Taibby, a reviewer for Rolling Stone magazine, has a very precise description of Goldman Sachs: "As the world's largest investment bank, Goldman Sachs is a giant vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, mercilessly inserting its tentacles into any vein that smells like money." ”

Zhang Ran was reluctant to cooperate with such a company again, but reason told him that Goldman Sachs had a very in-depth cooperation with Wanda, including the matter of Jinding Holdings. Now the layout of the peak of the century can defeat the Wang family father and son, but it cannot guarantee that they will be completely defeated and they will no longer make waves. If Goldman Sachs helps, then the certainty of completely defeating the Wang family and his son will be much greater.

Now Goldman Sachs wants to cooperate with Zhang Ran and get a piece of the pie from the hunt for Wanda, not Zhang Ran begging to cooperate with Goldman Sachs, he must take a hand. He snorted coldly and said, "Mr. Cohen, do you think I'll take your word for it?"

Seeing that Zhang Ran didn't hang up the phone directly, Cohen knew that there was a door to this matter, and immediately said: "I know that Mr. Zhang doesn't believe in Goldman Sachs, but it doesn't matter, the important thing is that Goldman Sachs can help you completely defeat the Wang family father and son." Wanda's company is too big, its main business is real estate, and the government will not allow Wanda to collapse. It will only allow people to replace the father and son of the Wang family and let them gradually withdraw. They have tens of billions of funds in their hands, and they can still make waves. And Goldman Sachs can help you defeat them completely!"

Zhang Ran pondered for a long time and said, "With what we have in our hands, we can completely defeat them, and we don't need your help at all." But I can give you a chance, and you must promise me one condition. ”

Cohen immediately said, "What conditions?"

Zhang Ran said coldly: "Send the people who yin us in the beginning to prison." ”

Cohen was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, we can't do this to our employees." ”

Zhang Ran seemed to have heard the funniest joke, and laughed: "Yes? When the US Securities and Exchange Commission cracked down on Goldman Sachs in 10 years, who pushed his subordinates out to block the gun? They are all locked up in prison now." He said in a seductive tone: "Goldman Sachs is a company with the purpose of making money, is it really appropriate to miss a great opportunity to make money for the sake of a general manager?"

Cohen found Zhang Ran, not to make much money from the hunt for Wanda at the peak of the century. In fact, if you don't join forces with Century Peak, as long as you short Wanda's stock, you can also get high returns from Century Peak's hunt for Wanda. Goldman Sachs really values the summit of the century, and they have a prediction that if the summit goes public, the company's market value will exceed a trillion dollars within five to ten years. Partnering with Century Summit will bring great long-term returns to Goldman Sachs.

Just like Zhang Ran said, Goldman Sachs is a company with the purpose of making money, and there is no morality, and sacrificing a general manager is nothing. Cohen sighed, as if embarrassed: "Well, to show our sincerity, as you wish." ”

Zhang Ran said: "In this case, let's send the relevant information of Wanda over! We are about to have an annual work meeting, and we are just going to discuss this matter." ”

Two days later, Zhang Ran held an annual work summary meeting and brought the company's senior management together to discuss the matter. Originally, the peak of the century had already made careful arrangements to crack down on Wanda, but now that it has obtained the information provided by Goldman Sachs, it is natural that it needs to make appropriate adjustments to the entire plan.

After the annual work meeting, there is another important task for Zhang Ran and the peak of the century, the company's annual meeting.

For any company, the annual meeting is an important part of the year-end work.

The annual meeting is not only the best opportunity to show the corporate culture, but also can play a good role in customer gratitude, morale, organizational atmosphere, deepening internal communication, promoting strategic sharing, enhancing goal recognition, etc., and playing a prelude to the work of the new year for setting goals.

Summit of the Century holds an annual meeting every year, but this year's annual meeting is more grand and grand than any previous year, because this year is the annual meeting of the 10th anniversary of the founding of Peak of the Century.

This year's annual meeting will be held at the Lin'an Huanglong Sports Center, and 40,000 of the nearly 200,000 employees at Century Summit will attend, including 10,000 foreign employees from 21 countries. In order to transport these employees to Lin'an, more than 1,000 flights were involved, covering more than 50 airlines around the world, almost covering most of the mainstream airlines in the market. The domestic employees of Century Summit have taken a special train to Lin'an since January 20, involving more than 100 high-speed rail trips.

The influx of Chinese and foreign employees has made accommodation a big problem. Several of the hotels under Century Summit were simply not enough to stay, and more than 200 hotels were finally arranged, with an average of nearly 20,000 rooms per day, stretching from Yuhang to Xiaoshan. Affected by this, the entire hotel business in Lin'an has become tight.

After Ma Yun heard that the peak of the century burned 500 million yuan for this annual meeting, she couldn't help but call Zhang Ran: "Boss Zhang, you are simply inhumane, you are so inhumane, you still don't let people live? Compared with your annual meeting, our annual meeting has become a party of township enterprises!"

On the morning of January 25, colorful flags fluttered outside the Huanglong Sports Center, balloons flew all over the sky, and everywhere was filled with a festive atmosphere. At the entrance of the venue, a huge display board reads the theme of tonight: "Beyond Dreams, 2015 Century Summit Annual Meeting and Gala".

On this day, the airports in Hangzhou and surrounding cities are extremely busy, with private jets landing from time to time. Some of these planes belong to the shareholders and executives of the pinnacle of the century, while others belong to the world's superstars who come to the show.

Since 4 p.m., hundreds of Golden Dragon buses have been passing back and forth in Lin'an City, transporting company employees from various hotels to the sports center.

By 6 p.m., the stadium was already crowded, with 40,000 spectators dressed in sky-blue costumes and each wearing an orange bracelet on their hands. At the party, the bracelets of 40,000 spectators will form the world's largest, 30,000-square-meter "wireless screen". Each bracelet is a "pixel", and when the IoT bracelet receives a specific command signal, the LED lights on the bracelet will light up in different colors or turn off accordingly, changing into a variety of different patterns.

This annual meeting will not only be broadcast live by Century Summit Video Network and Netflix, but also by Zhijiang Satellite TV.

Seeing the star-studded names on the program list, the staff of Zhijiang Satellite TV who came to broadcast were all stunned, it was just an annual corporate meeting, and it was too exaggerated to invite so many Chinese and foreign stars to help, right?

A staff member said to the director: "Last year, Wanda launched the Oriental Film Metropolis in Qingdao and invited Hollywood superstars to help, and it is said that it spent hundreds of millions of dollars. How much does it cost to invite so many stars to the summit of the century this time?"

The director said with a smile: "As far as I know, these stars are all friendship prices, or even don't give money, they all give Zhang Ran face, and many of these superstars can't be invited for more money." ”

In the audience, the faces of the employees of the peak of the century were filled with happy smiles, and they were talking about the joy in their hearts. In the annual meeting of Internet companies, the most anticipated is naturally the lottery session. This year marks the 10th anniversary of Summit of the Century, and many people are speculating about what will happen this year.

"I've heard that it's a car, and the grand prize is a Lamborghini! The first prize seems to be a BMW, and the rest is not very clear. ”

"I'm just thinking about buying a car, if I win the lottery, I don't ask for a Lamborghini, I don't want a BMW, I just have a Buick!"

"I've never had any luck, and I don't hope to win the lottery. But our boss said that everyone has a big gift, and I'm still looking forward to it!"

"Really? Don't lie to us, what kind of gift is it?"

"I don't know, the boss won't say it, but he said it would surprise and delight everyone!"

At 7:30 p.m., Zhang Ran came to the command center of the sports center to see Chen Weiya, the chief director of the annual meeting.

Zhang Ran and Chen Weiya are old friends, and during the Peking Olympics, Chen Weiya was Zhang Ran's deputy. Since then, Chen Weiya has directed a number of large-scale opening ceremonies, as well as theatrical performances, and is the chief director who has directed the most large-scale opening ceremonies and cultural activities and the highest success rate in China.

The annual meeting of the 10th anniversary of the pinnacle of the century must be held well and at a top-level level. In order to achieve this effect, Zhang Ran specially invited Chen Weiya. Chen Weiya is now the deputy head of the China Song and Dance Troupe and the vice chairman of the Dance Association, and only Zhang Ran has such a big face and asked him to direct the company's annual meeting.

Zhang Ran smiled and asked, "Weiya, how is the situation?"

Chen Weiya looked very relaxed, after all, this is the annual meeting of the company, even if there is a basket, at most he will be scolded by the employees of the peak of the century, he is directing this party with an entertainment mentality, which is completely different from the mentality of directing the Olympic Games and other large-scale galas. He said with a smile on his face: "Everything is normal, you can just look at it! After this annual meeting, the audience all over the world will know what a local tyrant is!"

Zhang Ran laughed and said: "During the Peking Olympics, we joked that we wanted to hold the best opening ceremony, so that the subsequent opening ceremonies would live behind the shadows, and we did it." I believe that after tonight, other companies will also live in the shadow of the annual meeting of the peak of the century, and they are embarrassed to mention the word annual meeting!"

After chatting with Chen Weiya for a few minutes, Zhang Ran came to the VIP seat. At this time, Wu Ruide, Gao Jun, and many executives at the peak of the century have arrived. They were all smiling and looking forward to the upcoming annual meeting.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the lights dimmed, and then the exciting music sounded, and the GALA band began the passionate opening performance on the stage: "Where is the world full of flowers, if it really exists then I will definitely go, I want to stand there on the highest mountain, I don't care if it is a cliff or not......"

At the peak of the century, everyone can sing "Dream Chasing Pure Heart", not only Chinese employees, but also foreign employees. It is the corporate song of the pinnacle of the century, a part of the company's culture, and a symbol of the company's spirit. Every newcomer who enters the pinnacle of the century and does induction training will learn this song.

After GALA sang "Dream Chasing Pure Heart", it immediately became a chorus of 40,000 people at the scene: "Live hard, love hard, even if you are sick and brainy, don't ask anyone to be satisfied, as long as you are worthy of yourself, I have never chosen to give up about my ideals, even in the days of disgrace......"
