Chapter 44: Pleasant News
Some people are not bought by money, and there is no shortage of "paper" when their own status is reached, and there may be few things that can impress this kind of person except for his vital interests.
As for whether Li Jianjun is this kind of person, George doesn't know, he just knows that Li Jianjun's kindness when he left is a little unbearable.
"Can I be regarded as on the same level as Liu Daxiong?"
Looking at the invitation card that Li Jianjun solemnly handed over to him when he left, there were some surprises and some small surprises, after all, a person without any status can get an invitation personally sent by a person ranked fifth in the Bank of China Xiangjiang Branch, which cannot be said to be an honor.
Put the invitation card in the briefcase I brought today, took out a 50 Hong Kong paper in my wallet, handed it to the parking boy, got into the driver's seat, and drove away from the Peninsula Hotel towards the apartment.
When he returned to the company in the afternoon, except for a small fluctuation, the rest of the time was in accordance with the scheduled trend of the continuous decline, in the face of this situation he did not need to continue to return to the company to stare, tomorrow is Saturday, the global stock market and futures market finally ushered in a rare respite, at this time even if you go can not do anything.
"James, you're in the United States?"
On the way, he received a call from James across the ocean, due to the signal, his voice was distorted, and his speech was not very clear and intermittent, so George could only park in a convenience store and buy a phone card, walk to the phone booth and dial it back.
"I'm at the Hilton Los Angeles right now, and now I have a good news and a bad piece of news to tell you, I wonder which one you choose to hear first?"
After dialing back on the phone, James on the other end of the line said to George with a laugh.
"James, you know, the last thing I like is bad news, but it's rare to hear your jokes, so I'll satisfy you and tell me the bad news first. ”
"Well, George, my dear friend, you're always so boring, and the bad news is that before getting on the plane, Charlie found out that Elon Musk doesn't plan to sell the company now, and it seems that his company still has a lot of room for improvement, even if the price you offer is enough to make him happy. ”
James paused, trying to get George to digest what he had said, but he didn't let George wait long before he recounted it.
"But he has a very strong thirst for money now, and he is very interested in our second proposal, which I won't know what to do next until I meet with him, but I have received information that Warburg Pincus is preparing to sell some of its shares, including PayPal's shares, due to financial problems. ”
"James, my friend, you're the best, you know, because of something, I can't get back to the U.S. before Christmas, and I'm going to trust you to bring me good news. ”
"Of course, of course I'll bring you very good news, and the bad news is out of the way, so now there's very good news for you, and I think you'll be very excited after hearing it.
Warburg pincus also sold Amazon's shares, and while I don't approve of you running a new company following Amazon's model, I don't think that prevents you from owning his shares and enjoying the benefits of it in the future. I've heard that Warburg Pincus is going to inject the proceeds into Google and Oracle. ”
"James, I think it's time for us to set up a new company, take all the shares of PayPal and Amazon, put them in this company, and I'll contact Uncle Jerry, and having him and his team to help you will have a lot easier in the face of WarburgPincus." ”
Hearing the news brought by James, George swept away today's decadence, he only knew that now was a godsend, but he didn't expect that Jonas had just been notified to let him find a seller to sell Amazon shares for himself in the hands of Wall Street, and this side would be automatically sent to the door.
The east is not bright, and the west is bright, which may be what is in front of you.
Google and Oracle Joe are equally interested, but not as passionate as they were in the face of Amazon, after all, George needs more influence than just money.
Amazon's hundreds of thousands of jobs are not just talking, ensuring the employment rate at all times and stabilizing the domestic people's livelihood are the first place, and a company that can bring many employment rates will be sought after at any time.
George and James then chatted a few more words and hung up the phone, and then called Jerry, the personal lawyer and friend of his cheap father Valen Smith, without any greetings, and went directly to the topic to tell the other party about the situation he was facing, and hung up the phone after getting the other party's promise George thanked him.
George walked out of the phone booth with a smile on his face, he never thought that he would be able to get a part of his dream shares so easily.
Warburg pincus, as one of the top 10 venture capital funds in the United States, will not hold a small number of shares, after all, as long as the companies in their operation are either because the company has complementary mergers or can bring them significant benefits after listing, it can be seen from their readiness to bet on Google, how accurate their vision is.
However, there are gains and losses, Google may bring them significant benefits, but with the existence of Sequoia Capital, it is not so easy for them to get more equity to expand their future interests, plus Perrin and other founders are not easy to deal with, George can imagine that a dragon battle will be staged soon.
Losing the watermelon and picking up the sesame seeds, although Bezos is not so easy to get along with, the benefits that can be brought in the future cannot be explained by simple money, and George snickers in this regard.
People who are in a good mood see everything beautifully, and the original frustration because they did not make their own inadequacies clear was also swept away with the news brought by James.
With a happy mood, he drove the car to the parking lot of the conference apartment, walked to the Victoria Harbour not far away, and looked at the history of the Victoria Harbour that many tour guides holding small flags and tourists kept explaining, and the tone unconsciously showed that kind of superiority, which made George want to applaud their arrogance that was about to fall from heaven to hell.
After returning to the apartment, Andy didn't come back, but left a note on the coffee table, because of his sister, he went north to his hometown today, and he may not be in Xiangjiang for a while.
Throwing the note into the trash at random, Andy's departure quickly returned to normal, except for feeling a little empty at first.
He didn't have any special thoughts about Andy, the woman he saw when he opened his eyes, after all, the relationship between them can be said to be ** or lover, of course, this is the sin created by the previous owner of the body, and when it was his turn, he didn't have any other special thoughts except for a cordial feeling.
Accustomed to loneliness, he did not feel lonely in such a long night, took a notebook in the study, kept thinking and writing in his notebook about the things that had happened and done in the past few days, and constantly checked and filled in them, until he found that there was no problem this time, George fell asleep after taking a bath.
