During the period when Zhang Lexing returned to the United States, except for the first few days, most of the time was running around, even during the period when the joint negotiation team negotiated the acquisition of C-Cube, Zhang Lexing did not stay honestly in his office, but went to the two companies of Blue Dragon and KF-Panda, but also had some gains, and found that Blue Dragon had begun to get involved in the operation of online games, not only the mainstream online game Mud during this period, It also has a network service platform (BlueLoongNetworks), which currently mainly provides some board and card games, attracting many players to play on it, and it is said that Gates also has an account on it, and often comes to play a bridge on it.

After receiving the news of the completion of the acquisition of C-Cube, Zhang Lexing remembered that he had been back for so long, but he was rarely with Yang Xinxin, so he decided to report the good news and make friends with the relationship between his sister and brother by the way. But when Zhang Lexing pushed open the door of Yang Xinxin's office, he was startled by what he saw.

Mai Jiajun, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, actually sat on the sofa in Yang Xinxin's office for a long time, and Yang Xinxin sat next to him, obviously it was work time, but the two of them were hiding here to drink red wine, and the eyes between the two were called sweet, and the smiles on their faces were bright, Zhang Lexing's heart somehow surged with anger, and he rushed in.

Zhang Lexing's sudden appearance startled the two people who were drinking red wine. Yang Xinxin put down the wine glass and asked puzzledly, "Brother, what's wrong with you, why is the expression on your face so strange." ”

"Sister Xin, it's not that you don't know, last time I was put on the EA side by this person, how can you be so close to him." Zhang Lexing's words seemed to have a faint sourness.

Mai Jiajun said with a smile at this time: "Lexing, you are not professional." As far as the facts are concerned, what I did last time didn't do any harm to the shareholders of the company, but on the contrary, it brought them greater benefits, and the same is true for you. ”

Yang Xinxin also immediately said: "Yes, brother, you didn't say anything when you came back that time, and you didn't even use the veto power at that time, why are you bringing up the old matter again now." ”

Zhang Lexing smiled and said, "I said you two, why do you feel like a husband and wife, oh, is there a situation?" ”

Yang Xinxin's face turned a rare red: "How can there be, we are just ordinary friends, and it is normal to drink red wine together occasionally." ”

Mai Jiajun wanted to say something just now, but when Yang Xinxin "gently" put his high heels on his feet, he could only grit his teeth and keep the smile on his face, and couldn't say anything. Zhang Lexing can see that these two people are very abnormal, it seems that a lot of things have happened during the time they have left, no wonder when he first arrived in the United States, Yang Xinxin smiled like a spring breeze, and felt that he was a little self-inflicted.

Zhang Lexing didn't expect Yang Xinxin's skin to be so thin, and it was not easy to break it in front of him, so he simply sat down on the sofa, spread his hands and said: "Okay, since ordinary friends have red wine to drink, then I, the younger brother, will not even have an empty cup." ”

Before Yang Xinxin could say anything, Mai Jiajun took the initiative to bring an empty wine glass, and added wine by the way, and that proficiency obviously came many times.

Zhang Lexing picked up the wine glass and turned it gently, smelling the aroma of the wine, and said: "Since you are interested in drinking red wine, is there anything happy about it, let's hear it." ”

Mai Jiajun just wanted to open his mouth, but Yang Xinxin glared at him again, so he had to hold the wine glass and continue to have intimate contact with red wine. Yang Xinxin shrugged her shoulders and said, "Actually, it's nothing, just drink some red wine." ”

"Oh, then I'll tell you something glad." Zhang Lexing took out a folder from his bag and threw it in front of Yang Xinxin.

Yang Xinxin picked up the folder and asked, "What is this ......?"

"Equity transfer letter, sign him, you can own 10% of the equity of C-Cube, how about Sister Xin, I can do what I promised you."

Yang Xinxin opened the folder and looked at it, then put it on the table and signed it. After putting away the folder, she said happily: "Brother, you are really good, tonight, my sister will cook by herself and reward you with a delicious meal." ”

Mak Ka Chun also leaned his head over to take a look, his face changed slightly, and then sat down again. Waiting for Yang Xinxin to sign and put away the folder, he gently patted Yang Xinxin's arm and said, "Xin'er, in fact, I just wanted to say good news to everyone to be happy." ”

"Well, then you say it now, but if it's not good news, then you're going to ......"

"IBM is your competitor, isn't it?"

"yes." Yang Xinxin and Zhang Lexing nodded together.

According to reliable sources, IBM has been losing money year after year since 90, and it is expected to reach $8 billion this year, with a cumulative loss of $16.8 billion in three years. IBM Chairman Ax (and CEO) has been on the job for a long time, and I heard that he may be submitting his resignation next month. Well, that's not really good news. ”

Zhang Lexing became interested at this time, but he didn't expect that Mai Jiajun's news was quite well-informed: "Well, you seem to be very familiar with IBM, so do you know their current stock price?" ”

"Nothing, as a corporate sniper, it's natural to be well-informed. IBM's closing price yesterday was $51.25, and it is estimated that there will be some decline. When it comes to professionalism, Mak Ka Chun is like a different person, full of confidence.

Zhang Lexing knows that the last few years have been the most unlucky period for IBM, not only the company's business has deteriorated, but the company's stock price has been declining year by year. In Zhang Lexing's last life, IBM's stock price fell to about $40 when it was most unlucky, and then it was by relying on Gerstner's entry into the ownership, with some of his reform measures, that he got rid of IBM's bad luck year after year, and created the myth that the company's stock price rose 1200% in nine years. Of course, Zhang Lexing also knows that due to his involvement, this history will definitely not be exactly the same, but I believe that he will not want to go too far, speaking of which is a good investment opportunity, anyway, the Red River Fund still has a lot of cash in hand that has not been spent.

"Sister Xin, do you think there is still hope for IBM?"

"I think there are still some people who should not collapse so easily for such a large company, in fact, IBM needs just a suitable operator. That Ex can't do it, and if he does resign, it would actually be a good thing for IBM, if they find a successor who is not an idiot like Ex. ”

"Sister Xin, are you interested in becoming a director of IBM?"

"Brother, you're not kidding, do you want to buy shares in IBM?"

"It's not a joke, of course I won't buy too much, otherwise it might lead to an anti-monopoly investigation."

At this time, Mai Jiajun interjected: "Lexing, it seems that you are very optimistic about the future of IBM?" ”

"That's right, as long as they choose the right person, they can definitely get out of the current predicament."

"Xin'er has said before that you are very accurate in your investment vision, and your past experience has proved it, but this does not mean that you are not wrong, such as the current IBM. I've actually studied this company, but it's hard to get out of it because of the rigidity of the management system. ”

I didn't expect Mai Jiajun to be so optimistic about IBM's future, but at this time, it is estimated that there are very few people who are still optimistic about IBM. In fact, Mai Jiajun is a good hand in corporate mergers and acquisitions, Zhang Lexing has not yet figured out how he won the Yiqiao Group, if he can help himself in the future, it should be a lot more convenient in terms of corporate acquisitions, and there seems to be a good opportunity now.

"Since we have our own opinions, we might as well take a gamble."

"Okay, you say how to bet." Mak Ka Chun is very simple.

"I put out $1 billion to buy IBM stock, and if you can't achieve more than 50% gains in five years, you win."

"Okay, I'll accept it, so when will it start."

"Of course, I started counting it after I bought IBM stock, and I didn't want to buy it right away. Who knows if it's true that you said that Ackes will resign next month, if this stupid guy is still the chairman, I won't bet with you. ”

"Well, that's what you say, but what's the stake?" Mak Ka Chun agreed very happily.

"If you win, you can choose any of my companies."

"Heh, your capital is really big, I can't compare with you."

"But if you lose, I hope you can work for me and help me when I need to acquire or acquire a business."

"Then I didn't take advantage of it, I didn't expect me to be so valuable."

At this time, Yang Xinxin also came over to join in the fun: "Brother, you play so big, how can you miss me." Last time, C-Cube didn't have much money, but this time it should be okay. ”

Zhang Lexing smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, Sister Xin, then how many shares do you plan to make." ”

"I don't have much spare money on hand, and if you play for a long time, I can only give you $200 million at most."

"That's enough, wait a few years and you'll be waiting to count the money." Zhang Lexing smiled and said, "Sister Xin, it's Christmas in two days, do you have any arrangements?" ”

Yang Xinxin and Mai Jiajun's expressions were strange, needless to say that Zhang Lexing also knew that there must be an arrangement. "Forget it, we're not people who like to be light bulbs." Zhang Lexing muttered in his heart, and didn't ask any more.

Two days later, on the evening of Christmas Eve. Not surprisingly, Yang Xinxin didn't go home after work, probably running to be happy. Zhang Lexing has not been at home alone, and now there are no less than three bodyguards within a range of 50 meters around him at all times, which is also Yang Xinxin's mandatory requirement, and Zhang Lexing is not allowed to oppose it at all.

After dinner, Zhang Lexing came to the terrace of the villa, leaning on the railing and looking out, the snow on the roof not far away reflected the cold light. Most of the surrounding houses were lit up, and perhaps they were all busy enjoying the Christmas dinner, and Zhang Lexing's heart couldn't help but feel lonely......
