At noon, Mr. Lin and Mr. Paulson had lunch at a nearby hotel, and in the afternoon, the agreement to transfer the shares was signed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, after the agreement was signed, Goldman Sachs fulfilled its obligations and sent an email to Alibaba to inform it.

The time difference between New York and Hangzhou is about 18 hours, and it is just after 9 a.m.

Ma Yun, who was browsing the news and had raised $20 million in advance to spend the winter as "grain and grass" before the Internet bubble burst, was secretly proud and very relaxed.

Suddenly, he saw a new email reminder, which was from Goldman Sachs, so he clicked on it casually.

This point opened and looked at it, but it made him startled, "Nima! ~" The national scolding almost blurted out.

Goldman Sachs took over 40% of the shares, and it was taken over by a company called Carey Investment.

Kerry Investment? Ma Yun hadn't heard of it. Without thinking, he immediately called Cai Chongxin, the chief financial officer.

Cai Chongxin was originally in the mixed venture capital industry, and he may know what the Kerry investment came from.

Cai Chongxin came soon, and he didn't know what was going on.

He was very glad about Ma Yun's foresight at this time, and his decision to resign to join Ali: his judgment was indeed not wrong, Ma Yun is a very far-sighted leader, follow him, and realize his greatest value!

When he saw Ma Yun in the president's office, Ma Yun had already calmed down his shock, but his face was still very heavy.

"Mr. Ma, what's wrong?" Cai Chongxin noticed that Ma Yun's face was wrong, sat down across from his desk, and asked with concern.

"Have you heard of Carey Investment?" Ma Yun asked with a calm face.

"Carey Investment?" Cai Chongxin was surprised, thought about it, shook his head and said, "No, what's wrong?" ”

Ma Yun made a bitter face, turned the computer on the table and showed it to him, "You can see it yourself." ”

The email was opening on the screen, Cai Chongxin looked at it curiously, and was startled, "Ah, the equity in Goldman Sachs has been transferred?!" ”

He couldn't figure it out, now that Internet stocks are like garbage, who will take garbage home?

Ma Yun said: "I'm afraid you're going to New York." ”

Cai Chongxin nodded and said, "I have to take a look at the origin of this Kerry investment." ”

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Li Quan represented Kerry Investment, and after signing the agreement with Paulson, Lin Ze went to visit Kesai by the way.

Although Kesai is still sitting in the president's office, he is only dealing with trivial matters.

He was surprised when he heard the secretary say that Lin Ze was visiting, so he let him in.

"Hehe, Mr. Lin is here to buy Ali's shares?" Kesai did not yet know that the transfer agreement for Alibaba's shares had been signed.

Lin Ze shook his head and said with a smile: "No, the acquisition has been completed, and I came to meet a friend on purpose." ”

Kirsai laughed, "Oh? There seemed to be curiosity in his expression.

Lin Ze handed him the agreement.

Ke Sai saw that Lin Ze didn't mind, and he didn't refuse, so he took it.

He looked at the agreement and frowned slightly, "$25 million? That's too high! Shaking his head, he said, "Ali is definitely not worth the price!" ”

Indeed, in August last year, Goldman Sachs got 40% of Ali's shares for $3.3 million, and it was only a few months later, and it coincided with the bursting of the Internet stock bubble, and the entire Internet industry entered a cold winter, how could Ali's 40% shares have multiplied several times, and it is worth so much $25 million? !

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Lin Ze shrugged, did not object to Ke Sai's words, and said with a smile: "It's true that Ali is not worth the price now, but I value his future more." ”

Kesai was noncommittal.

The two chatted for a while, and Lin Ze mentioned the matter of asking Kesai to preside over Kerry's investment.

Ke Sai saw that he was very sincere, but he was quite embarrassed in his heart, so he refused again, saying: "My current annual salary plus equity incentives is about 40 million US dollars." ”

The implication is that Kerry Investment can't afford to hire me, so he wants Lin Ze to retreat.

Lin Ze laughed lightly twice, not dissatisfied with his pursuit of profit, on the contrary, he was more interested in him.

Lin Ze said: "If I can afford to invite you, are you willing to join?" ”

Ke Sai didn't believe that Lin Ze could afford this salary, and said with a smile: "I look forward to that day." ”

Lin Ze laughed twice, got up to shake hands with him and said goodbye, and when he walked to the door of the office, he turned around again and said to him, "I believe that day will not be far away." ”

Ke Sai shook his head, feeling very speechless at Lin Ze's confidence in this young man.

Naturally, he did not believe that there would be a day in the near future.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Lin Ze and Li Quan came out of Goldman Sachs, and they walked through the gate.

At this time, there are more demonstrators gathered outside the gate than yesterday and in the morning.

People held banners and shouted slogans excitedly, and reporters were interviewing reporters and police officers maintaining order.

The entrance to Goldman Sachs was on a half-meter-high staircase, and two security guards escorted them through the crowd of demonstrators.

The demonstrators almost blocked the road, and Lin Ze stood on the periphery and did not leave immediately, he looked with interest at the democracy with the characteristics of this country.

"Mr. Lin, it's chaotic here, let's go." Li Quan said on the side.

Lin Ze shook his head and said with a smile: "This scene is something you can't see in China. ”

Li Quan smiled bitterly: "It's annoying to see too much!" ”

Lin Ze laughed twice and said, "Mei Guo can sell this product all over the world!" ”

Li Quan laughed twice and said, "The democracy of Mei Country is not as beautiful as he described it outside. ”

Lin Ze smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, nodded, looked at the emotionally charged demonstrators, and suddenly thought of the original time and space, after the subprime mortgage crisis in the future, the people of Mei country would also demonstrate on Wall Street as they do now, but the intensity of that demonstration was much more intense than now......

At that time, they were under the banner: Occupy Wall Street!
