Chapter 10: The Sword of Damoc

When Gao Heng almost smashed the Facebook mask open and left the United States overnight with hatred and anger, the periphery of the building was probably the closest to the Facebook board of directors, and many of the people who finally got the result were so relieved that they didn't want to leave lingering near the headquarters, and some people were still holding a piece of inscription under the Facebook building

The card took a photo, and the face mask security guard who was guarding the entrance of Mén at the moment was smiling for the first time, and there was no sign of interfering with such behavior. Since this is a historical juncture, why not let the people who follow all this commemorate it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info full // this // small // say // net

Su Can and Zach watched through the windows on the upper floors of the building as the crowds of people who did not leave for a long time, using the lawn under the Facebook headquarters as a park.

After a long time, Su Can looked back at his side face and asked, "Did you convince the Sequoia side in advance?" Even Moretz, who is Gao Heng's closest contact, has this excuse not to attend the board meeting to support Gao Heng, and the Moretz I know is a venture capital that can be invested in the United States

At the meeting, you preached in front of thousands of people and those who invested in Jingying did not dare to refute it, what method did you use? ”

Zach turned his head and glanced at Su Can, his eyelids lowered and blinked, and at this time Su Can saw that there was a depth in his eyes at that time, which was beyond his usual status as a technical otaku. He avoided answering, just patted Su Can on the shoulder and said, "No matter what, you."

It's back. We're finally getting through this and we can fight side by side again, Facebook needs you," Zach was a little sad again, "but Dustin may never hear my explanation again." But that doesn't matter, you can't guarantee that your long life will be free of misunderstandings and necessary deceptions. You're back, and that's more important than anything else. In addition to Facebook's growth, this is the happiest moment of my year to welcome back. ”

Su Can looked at him deeply, "You are enough to become a real CEO who controls a company with a market value of more than 10 billion." ”

"Remember when we were in high school, I wrote a program, a game program against Julius Caesar, which made a lot of people comment that I had imperial tendencies, and I only remember that we marked the trend of development on the map one by one, without you, all this

does not exist. Then there was a hint of emotion in Zack's eyes, "That three-tier equity structure is something I've never seen in my life, have you noticed the expressions of Sequoia, Axel's gang?" They didn't expect that we would have such a firm grip on our power.

If Facebook is a country, then this structure is the soul and the system, and it will be followed forever. ”

"I thought about using a two-tier shareholding structure before," Su Can smiled and said, "But the two-tier shareholding structure does not guarantee that you can hold absolute shares and control this company forever." That's why three tiers of equity are adopted. But there is also a lot of risk, not even a two-tier shareholding

It can be allowed in Hong Kong or in our country, because it is suspected of harming the interests of public investors. U.S. jiāo markets such as the NASDAQ allow for the existence of a two-tier shareholding structure. But it seems that for the first time in history, the three-tier equity is important

The reason why external investors are willing to enter into 'unequal treaties' with huge voting power disparities is simply because of the company's rapid growth and huge market capitalization. If one day the company's performance deteriorates, or if there is another crisis, then investors will sell their stocks, three tiers of stocks

The absolute realm of the power structure was not impregnable at that time. ”

Zach looked at the sky higher up outside the window, his pale blue pupils constricted, more sharp than the falcons in the California sky, "Then we'll keep this growth rate of Facebook continuous." We're going to make him bigger and more profitable than he is now

Manage. ”

Su Can smiled, staring straight ahead, his eyes were clouded by the reflection of the California sun, and asked thoughtfully, "Before, did you really think about completely excluding me from Facebook?" ”

White floc danced lightly between the two. There seemed to be some kind of unprecedented chasm in the air, deeper than the isolation of time and space.

Zach was stunned, finally looked at Su Can, and said darkly, "When the congressmen were running, I used to be afraid of being shut down, I received seven letters from the state legislature in a week, and at that time, I used to think about it. Let you leave for a while and avoid this crisis. ”

Su Can raised his head and sighed, "Now that you have succeeded, you have weathered the difficulties with a very accurate hand, Microsoft and Li Ka-shing's Cheung Kong Industrial Group have been in contact with Facebook, this is no longer confidential news, there will be a new round of high-valuation cháo coming, you will welcome one."

a new era. ”

Zack stretched out his hand and hung in the air, and finally landed and patted Su Can's shoulder, the scorching sunlight penetrated through the glass window, covering the two of them with a layer of bright edges, and said, "We welcome this era together." ”

"We all realized that the previous company structure was problematic, and now we have created a better way. On top of the highest voting rights, you have the right to supervise me, this time it is just an agreed layout at the right time, but next time if this situation really happens

, you can also veto me. Facebook is like a kingdom, and absolute power will inevitably lead to absolute corruption. I can't guarantee that one day I will go astray because his youhuo will be too big in the future, so I need to have this hanging on my head at all times

The sword of Damok at the top. ”

Su Can looked at Zach as if he were looking at the clumsy boy with his ragged denim and curly yellow hair in his dormitory, heading towards the emperor who was as imposing as Julius Caesar, who swept through Gallo-Germanic Britain two thousand years ago. And most importantly, he

Understand Montesquieu's famous saying that power must be used to limit power.

If Facebook is growing into the third most populous country, then just like a country, it must have a sword of Damok to check power.

Su Can is that sword!

Standing on the top floor of the spectacular Facebook building with clear glass walls, the clear blue sky and floating clouds of California seem to be within reach, and the flat landscape in the distance, California Highway 82 stretches to the end of the horizon, where there are young people driving on road trips, they listen

Singing to the music, they swayed in the car, and the beautiful NV children wěn, remembering the soapy smell of their bodies. They unscrupulously use this way to squander and remember those friendships and indelible green chuns.

Zach and the swordsman of the face chāku, they were watching the crowd below as far as the eye could see.

It's like looking at the empire of tomorrow.

Gao Heng of IDD Investment quickly came back to fight, and less than a month after the curtain of Facebook's board of directors was closed, media sources revealed that Luidd Investment Company sold off its Facebook shares. Microsoft then said on Wednesday that it would invest $240 million to acquire the IDD investment fund

1.5% stake in the acquisition to sell online advertising for Facebook to further strengthen the start-up marketing partnership between the two companies.

Many analysts believe that Microsoft's acquisition of Facebook is significant. In recent years, Microsoft has been hoping to increase its online advertising market share in order to break Google's Yahoo dominance in this space; Using Facebook's open software platform will help Microsoft sell more online

Online advertising. In Microsoft's fiscal year ending June this year, online advertising revenue grew 19% year-on-year to less than $1 billion; During the same period, Google's total advertising revenue reached more than $5 billion. Industry insiders believe that by acquiring a stake in Facebook, Microsoft has given Google a favorable blow.

The achievement of the above-mentioned jiāo is worth Facebook at $16 billion.

Zhan Hua once asked him why he wanted to sell his equity, Facebook's valuation has been rising, the $180 million they paid at the beginning has now appreciated to the $240 million that Microsoft took over, and after a year of moving and turning, the RMB income is as high as 500 million, and anyone can make this kind of profiteering

Side-eyed. But everyone knows that Facebook's valuation has reached this level, and there may be room for it to rise. This is actually selling stocks, and there is still room for Facebook to rise. It's a pity that they have lost the opportunity to make a bigger profit by selling it now.

Gao Heng shook his head, his eyes flashed over the profound humiliation in the United States, and said, "Until now, I have been calm, and it is precisely because of this calmness that I understand that now is the time to get rid of it." Think of the dot-com bubble in '99, when a stock price could reach a price-to-earnings ratio

550 times, that's a crazy situation, but overnight, it's not uncommon for a $200 stock price to fall to $1, and how many people have lost their fortune overnight. In other words, don't you think that Facebook now has this crazy posture, in fact, Facebook's market value has reached 10 billion

When I was in dollars, I already thought that I would reach this number at most, and now it is as high as $16 billion, which is a tipping point. I'm not so stupid as to continue to bury them! ”

Gao Heng extinguished the cigarette in his hand and said, "Now we have a more secure way." The $240 million withdrawn is just enough to solve the total amount of funds we need to hold heavy positions now. The above has already noticed the actions of the big brother, so our actions must be

Speeding up, now Microsoft's takeover is just the right opportunity for us to exit and move funds. God is really helping us. The six billion we invested before, plus the 240 million US dollars, is equivalent to 8 billion, Lao Zhan, you have to make a vertical layout in the shortest possible time

Don't inject into shell companies. ”

"If we invest all of it, there will be a big problem in our capital cycle, and there is a risk that the capital chain will break," Zhan Hua frowned.

"There will be no problem, and the money will be multiplied several times in four months at most. Compared to the six-month funding cycle, why not go all out? Gao Heng's eyes flashed with ambition like a lion.

Zhan Hua nodded, and said, "I have a Zhijio, I borrowed hundreds of millions from the bank and invested in two stocks. I think I should tell you about this. ”

"Let him go, he knows the rules. Give these people a little dog bone to eat. It is impossible for us to occupy the **** head and not give others soup and soup. Gao Heng waved his hand a little tiredly.

As long as the village is completed, the money invested is likely to be tens of billions when it is recovered. In 2005, the top three families of Huang Guangyu and others on the Forbes list were only worth 15 billion at most. Even if there is indirect cào control of capital, it cannot be compared

It is planned to use the Gao family, the rise of Xinyuan Group, the first central enterprise in China. And the Gao family will also be far ahead of the forefront of domestic SI capital.

A few days later.

At the headquarters of the Anericsson Fund in Beijing, Zhan Hua greeted Gao Heng who came over and said urgently, "Du Wei of Phoenix City originally came out intact in the former Xu Changcheng case, but Wang Bo suddenly put her in prison to investigate the tax evasion of the Qingshan Group she presided over

The problem, and the matter also involved the intervention of the Henan Provincial Department and the Provincial Economic and Trade Commission, and they discovered Du Wei's branch in Henan. News came a few days ago that the mayor of Phoenix, Zhou Zhaofeng, was shuanggui. Du Tao, the mayor of Qinghai Province, has been implicated, and it is very likely

Through the violent refining shell company in Qinghai, many people were involved, and even Chairman Gao was threatened. ”

"What did you say?" Gao Heng glared at Zhan Hua. The three or four people around who had entered the core of their huge financial empire immediately lowered their heads, Gao Heng's anger was extraordinary, and the power accumulated over the years was enough to make people fear from the inside.

And if what Zhan Hua said is true, then anyone can speculate that a huge earthquake is slowly forming.

After a while, Gao Heng relieved himself, and Zhan Hua entered a well-sealed office, and the people behind him were waiting outside, and this office would conduct a monitoring and search every once in a while, epidemic prevention and cleaning, line maintenance and other methods that many people had never heard of.

After entering the room, Gao Heng directly called Gao Canghai's mobile phone and said, "Brother, did Du Tao, the mayor of Qinghai, say something?" ”

Gao Canghai paced back and forth on the other end of the phone, "Du Wei, Zhou Zhaofeng, and Du Tao have all been secretly placed on file for investigation, and Wang Bo's Provincial Public Security Department has investigated the relationship between Du Wei and Du Tao's nephews." Du Tao was censored in another place, and it is said that he has made meritorious contributions, what kind of merit do you say he has made! "There was a smash on the other end of the phone

The sound of broken things.

Gao Heng's eyes narrowed, and he said, "Then what now." ”

"It doesn't matter, I will immediately raise a self-negligence check to the above, and strive to delay time, there are still many people on our side on the periphery and in the center, many people will not think that something will happen to me, as long as this period can be delayed, in a few months, the shell company's capital injection will be changed."

After the completion of the shares, everyone must make the **** of Xinyuan Group, as long as it is not completed for a day, we are safe. Wang Bo reported my problem to the top management, but he couldn't help me for a while. Gao Heng, what you have to do now is to stabilize and wait until the seven families are listed

The company's share reform was completed. And the dust settled. ”

Hanging up the phone, Gao Canghai picked up a self-examination that he had written out in front of him. The above took the initiative to admit to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection that Jiāo was at fault on his behalf, including the unclear accounts of Xinyuan Group, the confusion of multiple accounts and tax evasion. There are collective embezzlements and misappropriation of tax revenues. and embezzlement,

Cash, securities, etc., are given to the relevant leaders and department heads, and the fourth point is to accept expensive gifts.

After writing this self-censorship, the first thing that came to Gao Canghai's mind was Wang Bo's shadow, and the second inexplicably appeared that young face. So when he signed his name, the nib of the iridium pen was cut off.

Gao Canghai Jiāo went to the hands of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, and was soon instructed by the deputy secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, and the initial Jiāo generation was good and the attitude was very correct, but it was necessary to further explain the detailed economic and financial issues involved in the case. You can work while jiāo generation.

At the same time, the interest groups around Gaojia are going all out to ensure the transfer of shares of the seven listed shell companies under the Xinyuan Group. Ensure that in the end, the huge accompanying plan, which involves tens of billions of dollars, indirectly affects hundreds of billions and the direction of finance, is successfully completed at the last minute.

In the outside world, through the information released from time to time in response to Gao Canghai, many people have already seen the outline of the whale's anger. It's a confrontation of intrigue and money that is more devastating than bullets and guns.

In the office of the Central Party School, the vice president of the Party School was chatting in front of Executive Deputy Mu Qin, and said, "After all, Gao Canghai is still meritorious, and the taxes paid by Xinyuan Group a year alone are one or two hundred billion." He has done a lot of things like bringing the most famous international motorsport events to the country

Zhenhai Refinery, which he previously led in Ningxi, has been ranked 18th on Fortune's Top 100 list of listed companies in China since the year he stepped down, and is one of the top 10 refineries in the Asia-Pacific region. Plus

He used to be in charge of Ningxi, and his repercussions and contributions there are still very large."

Mrs. Mu has always been one of the people in the current high-level who do not support the postponement of the investigation of Gao Canghai, and now the wind is blowing in her ears. She listened silently, and the other party didn't say much, just waited quietly.

After a long time, Mu Qin picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, put the gaiwan tea on the table, made a soft "clang", and said, "I know that many people want to protect the Gao family, but privilege and profit cannot become the currency of the political kingdom. Otherwise, why should we insist on party xing

and principles. Powerful forces and armies can overthrow regimes and maintain rotten skins, but they cannot maintain their vitality forever. Only upholding the truth and correcting mistakes is the guarantee that a political party will always be evergreen. Lao Zheng, do you agree with my words? ”

The man's face was pale for a while, and finally he nodded yes again and again.

Despite the resistance, despite the community of interests serving the Gao family, there are still voices above that insist on the truth.

In Henan Province, in Qinghai Province, in Shandong Province, where the seven listed companies under the Xinyuan Group are located, and within the resource groups of each province and city, those high-level leaders who control resources and power are all worried about the internal newspapers, or the xiǎo of those flying paths

Observing the wind and clouds that are slowly accumulating.

Many people are in a state of panic, and there are also many people who are delighted, waiting for the day when the final levee will burst and the flood will break through to the abyss.

In autumn in Beijing, among the solemn xiǎo houses of the courtyard houses with many withered paulownia trees and canopy-like banyan trees, many people are talking about the high-profile events that happened in the Xinyuan Group, and waiting for the ending that seems to be about to break out of the cocoon. There are in the air

The strings are tightening, they are dense, and they are holding people's hearts.

Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. An internal meeting was held to argue and overturn Jiāo's ongoing discussions. Because of the excessive resistance, the resolution of the immediate control of Gao Canghai, chairman of Xinyuan Group, was once again shelved, and the meeting finally passed the early stage of "slaying the punishment on behalf of the people, persuading Jiāo to take the lead, and punishment as a supplement".

Policy. It seems that the matter was put on hold for the time being, and it was carried out in secret.

And at this very time.

An important domestic financial media, Pineapple Media's "Financial Current Affairs" soon released a report, pointing out that through the Hunan Provincial Public Security Department, the relevant departments of the Economic and Trade Commission, and special materials, the original Xinghua enterprises in the process of restructuring and reorganization of various shady scenes slowly unfolded, this report passed in detail

The narrative materials and the corroboration of a large number of officials have opened the fact that the hidden village has laid out the stocks of listed companies behind the scenes, and has made a lot of profits through related information from behind. That night, "Financial Current Affairs" was almost sold out by many hand sources. Pineapple Media also had to reprint overnight.

Just the day after the release of financial current affairs, the report was reproduced on the Chinese homepage of Facebook, which is a new media.

一石ji起千feuill làng. The outside world immediately became strife.

In Gao Làngtao's phone call to Gao Canghai, he was furious at this information, "Big brother, do you know what you are doing, the key is, why is this matter known by Wang Bo and Su Can's son?" ”

The entire Gao family faction foundation was violently shaken.

In the last meeting between Gao Heng and Gao Canghai, the expression on his face was a little stiff, and he muttered, "Wang Bo is already moving, Su Can is also moving, second brother"

In the mansion in the middle of the night, Gao Canghai's face was buried deep in the darkness. Only the starlight came in, and I could see the smoke swirling around the room, and the smoke and sparks that went on and off.

Wang Bo, who was closely watching Gao Canghai's movements, suddenly said to Su Can at the dinner in Rongcheng, "Gao Canghai took five days of sick leave. Yesterday afternoon, I went to Xinyuan Group for a turn, specially greeted all the high-level officials, and made an appointment to drink tea at the Xiangshan Club, even Secretary Cao of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection

On the list of invitations he invited. You say what he wants to do. ”

In such a situation, Su Can has already followed Wang Bo's suggestion and lived in the compound of the Rongcheng Municipal Party Committee, even from the security aspect and the scope of influence of the incident, he is indeed not suitable to stay at Shanghai Nanda.

"Is it still a delaying tactic" Su Can muttered, then woke up, suddenly realized, and said with a smile, "Gao Canghai is going to escape!" The Ministry of Public Security, the Audit Administration, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Central Organization Department and other relevant ministries have all taken action, and it is impossible for him to use such a delaying tactic because of this situation

He will not be able to deal with his problems at this year's National People's Congress. So he laid a smoke screen, and the real purpose should be to leave the country. Once he is allowed to go, there is no evidence, and the shell sale and reorganization plan issued by the shareholders' meeting of Xinyuan Group is still continuing

As it goes on, no one can do anything about them. Once the restructuring of the shares of the seven major companies is completed, all evidence will be annihilated by then. ”

Wang Bo nodded and smiled, stood up from the dining table, took out the phone, and walked to the window, "I also have the same opinion as you." ”
