Yu Jun looked at Paulson with a smile on his face, the helmsman of the Goldman Sachs empire, and revealed Goldman Sachs' ambitions in one sentence. Yu Jun still remembers that in the global financial turmoil of O7, the US Treasury Secretary, Deputy Treasury Secretary, and the restructured Merrill Lynch and other investment banks were replaced by Goldman Sachs, some people say that Goldman Sachs is the real empire, and the global financial turmoil is a conspiracy on Wall Street.

Yu Jun didn't dare to say that he completely believed this, but it was not without reason.

Greece was hit by Goldman Sachs' hand, and almost all the countries went bankrupt, and some clues can be seen if the EU came to the rescue. Wall Street analysts, traders, and fund managers all have greedy genes, especially Goldman Sachs.

When Goldman Sachs and IdgVc were chosen as Xiling's partners in the U.S. capital market, even Yi Mingyao, who was born at Goldman Sachs, said that Yu Jun was playing with fire and dancing with wolves.

But Yu Jun smiled, not into the tiger's den, but the tiger.

If Lei Yu and Chu Haowei's team never go head-to-head with such a large venture capital, they will never be able to grow, and they must pay attention to it at home, and sometimes they have to look abroad.

Now that Paulson has mentioned that he wants to take a stake in Xiling, his appetite is too great.

Looking at Paulson's deep gaze under his glasses, Yu Jun remembered Goldman Sachs' pig farming.

Goldman Sachs pig breeding was in O6, or O7 was criticized and exposed, at that time there was a burst of industrial crisis awareness, all Chinese opened their eyes, the original pig and other agricultural products related to the national economy and people's livelihood of the industrial chain, were controlled by Goldman Sachs and other foreign venture capital funds.

Edible oil may be an exception, it is controlled by the four major international grain merchants of aBcd.

Other people may hear Paulson's suggestion, but don't smile crookedly, Paulson's mention is an invitation letter, which is equivalent to valuing Xiling Research, industrial chain layout, production capacity, innovation ability, etc., to put it simply, it can make Goldman Sachs affordable, and it can be regarded as affirming Xiling's strength from the side.

And if Yu Jun is a person with no ambitions, or a soft bone, let alone a shareholding, even Paulson said that he wants Goldman Sachs to control Xiling, he will be full of joy to offer Xiling.

Is Yu Jun that kind of person?

"I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in your mention at all." Yu Jun held the water cup and took a sip of ice water lightly, before saying slowly.

Paulson smiled and said, "Then I'll take back my mention," he didn't seem surprised at all, having been doing finance for decades, and had already taken all the situations into account, "Ellison told me that you want nine Internet companies to be listed on the NASDAQ or the main board in New York?" ”

Yu Jun nodded slightly, not denying that he meant this, and he was not surprised that Ellison would sue Paulson.

"The collapse of the NASDAQ market last year drove the global IT, information, and Internet sectors to fall sharply, and this year may not be a good time to go public." Paulson smiled.

At the beginning, when things were going well, although he worked closely with Goldman Sachs, it didn't mean that Paulson could easily agree to this for nothing.

"Do you mean that if Goldman Sachs can take a stake in these companies, it will give the capital market confidence, so that when the price is set, the initial price can be slightly higher, and there is no obstacle to listing, and the NASDAQ and the New York Stock Exchange can more easily accept Chinese companies?" Yu Jun touched the rim of the water cup and asked.

Paulson glanced at Yu Jun in surprise before spreading his hands and saying, "That's true, don't you think it's a win-win model?" NetEase, Sina, and Sohu from China won't talk about them, but isn't it the same with Sinopec and Unicom? This is already a very mature model. ”

Yu Jun could hear that there was no further meaning in his words, after all, if he couldn't participate in Xiling, the listing of these nine companies alone, even if the combined market value could exceed 100 billion yuan, would not be attractive enough to Paulson.

As for his so-called mature model, what Yu Jun thought of was that after ICBC and CCB went public, Goldman Sachs and other companies made a lot of money by relying on their so-called strategic investment and underwriter status, which is equivalent to everyone in China taking out nearly 100 yuan to this greedy Wall Street.

"Maybe we should create a new model, innovation is the driving force of science and technology exhibitions, isn't it the same on Wall Street? Isn't this kind of innovative financial derivative instrument also popular now? Yu Jun said.

"Are you interested in derivatives?" Paulson's eagle eyes lit up and he asked with a smile.

"No, I'm not interested in those." Yu Jun got up and said, "Okay, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to talk to me, since Goldman Sachs can't meet my satisfactory requirements, then I think I still need to cooperate with other companies about the listing." ”

"Hmm! Please, I have an urgent meeting, please help me say sorry to Ellison, Donald, and, of course, beautiful Ivanka. Paulson stood up, gave Yu Jun a deep look, and shook the outstretched hand.

Yu Jun sent Paulson to the door of the store, and then walked back to Ivanka and sat down, Wang Bing and Chu Haowei's eyes were fixed on him.

"There was no negotiation." Yu Jun held the red wine glass and said, "He wanted to mix in Xiling, but I refused." ”

Ellison laughed, "I had the same idea at the beginning, didn't you reject it too?" I'm not surprised that Paulson could think so, but the current layout of Xiling alone is also very shivering if you analyze it carefully. ”

Yu Jun shrugged and said, "Really? Is a small company worth being analyzed? ”

"Small company?" Ellison scoffed, "If Xiling is a small company, then Donald's Teplan Group can't even be ranked." ”

Tang Gangde was slightly stunned, from a few words, he couldn't calculate how big the scale of Xiling was, and now he finally understood a little, at least Teplano compared to it, it was like a small sapling compared to a big tree.

Although Ellison's words were very useful to Yu Jun, he was still frowning, and even Ivanka was looking at him with a sideways face.

"Xiling needs or doesn't need strategic investors, so that the composition of the shares is more complex and more mature, which is something to consider, but there is no need to let Wall Street companies intervene in the beak," Yu Jun put down the wine glass and said, "Now Xiling is a combination of soft and hard, the pattern of the upstream and downstream industrial chain has not been completed, there is still a way to go, and when this road is over, think about it, or, Ellison, Oracle's opportunity is much greater than Goldman Sachs." ”

Ellison laughed and raised his glass and said, "Cheers to the collaboration between Oracle and Westling." ”

"Cheers!"

Yu Jun didn't come to Wall Street not only to meet Paulson, but also Goldman Sachs, an investment bank on Wall Street with listing operation capabilities, but also Merrill Lynch, Da Mo, Salomon Brothers, etc., he wanted... There will be some time to stay in New York.

But on the second day something equally important awaited him.

Blizzard Software's Warcraft III has finally reached the official sale date, in addition to the physical version sold in the software chain store, it will also be sold in the software store, which will give consumers two choices, one is the physical version of UPS delivered directly to the home, and the other is the version downloaded online.

The latter is $5 cheaper than the former, and this price is the price of the express agreement with UPS.

The profit is the same, the difference is that the latter needs to occupy some server bandwidth, but this is also a negligible cost.

The sales conference will be held in New York's Times Square, and Blizzard executives such as Lei Jun will be present, and the time chosen is 9 o'clock in the morning, and enthusiastic players will line up outside from 12 o'clock at night.

Yu Jun looked at the die-hard players who came over with tents, and said to Luo Fei with a smile: "Look at this team, it's reassuring." ”

Some even came over wearing virtual gear from Warcraft II.

Microsoft's response was still very flat, although Westwood is Blizzard's sworn enemy, and in this regard, Bill? Gates won't say anything to give Blizzard a chance to promote it for free.

"Will World of Warcraft come out at the end of the year?" Yu Jun couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised when he heard the good news in Lei Jun's mouth.

This trump card masterpiece is Xiling's strongest stroke in the online game market.

"It should be fine." Lei Jun said with a smile, "According to the sales rhythm, if Warcraft III can achieve the expected sales results, it will also have a great impact on the listing of World of Warcraft." ”

This is natural, just like the swordsman romance o1 can be as popular in China, and it has something to do with the amazing number of sales of the stand-alone version of the swordsman romance, which is the pioneering work of martial arts online games.

"Don't worry about the sales of Warcraft III, this is an epoch-making product." Yu Jun smiled.

Not only is it sold in New York, Thunder Online has also obtained Blizzard's authorization to install it in all chain Internet cafes, and the legal department is ready to sue Unicom Internet Park and other unauthorized Internet cafes at any time, and you can guess that there will be a national chain of Internet cafes that will install Warcraft III.

Even if Unicom is a large enterprise, this is a time to sue it for disrepute.

Yu Jun is not a person who can let go of his opponent lightly.

"Oh, the ham sandwich you wanted." Ivanka walked over and handed the sandwich to Yu Jun.

Lei Jun and Luo Fei looked at this bright-eyed, bright-toothed, high-level supermodel, a famous rich second-generation lady in the United States, and they really couldn't understand how Yu Jun knew her, and she would take the initiative to buy sandwiches for Yu Jun.

Wang Bing and Chu Haowei winked at the two of them, gesturing together.

"Okay, if you're okay, come with me to Wall Street, the CEO of Merrill Lynch wants to talk to me." Yu Jun glanced at the four of them helplessly before saying to Ivanka.

"Father said I want to learn more from you, I'm fine." Ivanka said with a sweet smile.

……

The first shift of the second watch, I went out today, and it was a little late.
