"Who? Do I know each other? ”

Kim Dojun asked suspiciously, he doesn't have any friends in the United States, except for Uncle Mustache, who has been working in a Chinese restaurant since he was a child, the rest are only junior high school and college classmates.

But at the beginning, they didn't move around, so they weren't intimate, and at most when they met, they just nodded and said hello to each other.

"You don't have to worry about it, you'll know when you go in, let your people wait outside first! I'll let them in later! ”

Larry Page looked embarrassed, the expression on his face was so complicated that he couldn't guess what he was thinking.

After a few hesitations, he turned around and said to Han Chenghao and Joshua.

"You two are waiting for me outside, I'll go in with him and meet someone, and I'll come out later!"

As soon as he finished explaining, the two of them glanced at each other a little inexplicably, and watched Kim Dojun's back disappear in front of his eyes.

Even at the door, Larry Page's bodyguards stood there, this time two tall white men, wearing sunglasses and still with uniform headphones in their ears, and they didn't even look at them.

Kim Do-jun walked in with a pace, opened his eyes, and was a little uncomfortable, he didn't turn on a single light, it was pitch black, it was empty, there was nothing, the huge office didn't even put a desk and a chair, and there was a large blank space.

After getting used to it for a while, he opened his eyes and took a closer look, and suddenly his eyes were stunned, and he looked at the glass window in the distance, and a tall figure stood by the glass window, with his back to him, and the light from the skyscraper opposite. can only vaguely let Kim Do-jun see a trace of side face.

"Looks like he's not young!"

Kim Do-joon muttered in his heart. Even if it's just for a moment. I can also see the silver hair on his forehead and the gold-rimmed glasses, which are particularly eye-catching in the dark night, and he inadvertently turned his head to look at Jin Daojun, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he spoke.

"Welcome, Mr. Jason!"

The man in the darkness lifted his gold-rimmed glasses and walked through the shadows. Tall figure, the age doesn't look particularly big, not as old as expected, but the silver hair on the head looks a little weird, is it because of the excessive use of the brain?

Very gentlemanly, stretched out his hand, took the initiative to shake hands.

"Hello! I'm Jason! Nice to see you! ”

While greeting, he glanced at Larry Page, since he called himself over, why didn't he introduce it!

After noticing Kim Do-joon's eyes. Immediately stepped forward and took the initiative to introduce.

"This is Mr. David Boshkin. Call him David! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he covered his mouth and whispered in Kim Do-joon's ear.

"This is the Assistant Secretary of Commerce of the United States! I'm here for you today! ”

"Assistant Minister of Commerce? Looking for yourself? What's going on? ”

After hearing this, Kim Do-jun was shocked, it seems that he has not committed any crime! Why is it that even the assistant minister has been dispatched?

"Kim Do-joon, male, 20 years old, born on November 13, 1988, from Jeongseon-gun, Gangwon Province, South Korea, with parents at home, and a younger sister Kim Hye-won, after graduating from elementary school, he got a scholarship provided by SK Group with excellent grades, came to the United States to study, washed dishes in a Chinese restaurant and worked as a waiter, after graduating from high school, he was admitted to Yale University with excellent grades, and finally graduated from Yale University with a full score one year ahead of schedule. Used to invest in other high-tech companies such as Google, currently owns 25% of Google's shares, is the veritable largest shareholder, because of my request, to keep his identity and shares secret, carte blanche to Larry Page and others, am I right, Mr. Jason! Wrong, should you be a singer or an actor? ”

David Bo Hekin took out a blank piece of paper from his suit pocket, read it slowly, and said Kim Do-jun's name in broken Korean, raising his head from time to time to glance at Kim Do-joon.

Every time he said a word, Kim Do-jun felt a layer of sweat on his back, and every time he said a word, Kim Do-jun felt a sudden chill in his heart, and every time he said a word, Kim Do-jun felt goosebumps all over his body.

"Why do you know so carefully, why do you investigate so clearly, what secrets are there in this world? Who is the person in front of you? Why come to yourself? ”

Countless question marks popped up in Kim Do-jun's mind at the moment, hovering over his brain, so he could only nod indifferently and respond.

"What's wrong, what's wrong? Am I breaking the law? ”

Kim Do-jun was really startled, as if the secret that had been hidden for many years was suddenly revealed, the scar that clinged to the skin was torn open by his hand, and the flesh and blood were stained on it, and the pain went straight into his heart.

Under the dim night light, Kim Dojun felt that his face had become pale, sometimes clenching his fists, sometimes letting go, and at this time his heart was also struggling and speculating.

"Not really, it's just that I'm curious, why you can guess the World Cup, why you can hit the target so accurately, why you chose to give Google venture capital, and you are so smart to hide behind it, you are only 20 years old, but when I saw your information, I found that I was full of interest in you!"

After David Bo Shkin finished speaking, he still had a faint smile on his face, and looked at Kim Dojun with his hands on his chest, in front of the US Department of Commerce, all entrepreneurs, there are almost no secrets to speak of, for them, as long as they want to investigate a person, they can go through many means, the police, the Immigration Department, the FBI, the CIA, as long as he needs, in a short time, a report can be delivered to him.

Larry Page didn't know these things, and looked at Kim Do-joon in surprise, is this guy really a genius?

It doesn't look like it, at most it's a little smarter than ordinary people, or with his IQ, he wouldn't play himself between applause.

Kim Do-jun suddenly felt a little relieved, since the biggest secret has been known by others, it doesn't matter, but he can turn passive into active. Today, since he took the initiative to come to himself. There must be a purpose. It is impossible to just expose your identity, otherwise you would not choose such a place, there is no one, and in a dark and sloppy place, the security measures are so mysterious.

The official position of the assistant minister of commerce is not low! It can represent the largest force in the US economic circles, and many things that are not suitable for the Secretary of Commerce to visit abroad are handled by assistants.

"Is this guy too idle?"

Kim Do-joon himself didn't believe it.

Pouted, a little disdainful.

"I'm sorry. I don't do it! My sexuality is normal! ”

After figuring it out, Kim Dojun has the confidence, so he has no fear, in the face of such an official, don't be scared away by his momentum at the first time, otherwise when the negotiation comes, Kim Dojun is likely to fall into the disadvantage, and he can't refuse any of his requests.

Larry Page "poofed" and laughed, but he didn't expect this guy to be funny. When I saw the assistant minister, I was not afraid at all. On the contrary, it is very relaxed.

David Bo Xikin also smiled slightly after hearing this, and he was not angry, on the contrary, he admired Kim Do-jun very much.

A big boy who is just 20 years old can have such an advanced investment vision, even if he is not a genius, his IQ is very high, and he can graduate from Yale University with a full score a year early, which proves his inner thoughts.

"This kid is a talent!"

So just gave him a dismount, but I didn't expect this kid to be afraid at all, on the contrary, he came to joke with himself, paused, and then spoke.

"I'm the same, my hobbies are normal, it's not special at all, okay, no kidding, I came to you today for business, I asked Larry Page to invite you over, I want to discuss one thing with you, you currently own 25% of Google's shares, and you are already the largest shareholder worthy of the name, although Larry Page and Sergey Brin's shares add up to more than 20%, even with Schmidt, there is not as much as yours, and now you are not involved in the daily management of the company and voting matters, But after all, you still have a leadership position in terms of corporate law, and for the US government, Google is a representative of Internet high technology, and in any case will not accept a non-American to dominate, even if he is our ally! ”

David Bo Xikin said it very directly, to put it bluntly, he saw the shares in Kim Dojun's hand.

All dangers are strangled in the cradle, this is the status quo.

Since the Watergate scandal, bugging incidents have occurred from time to time.

The U.S. government has also strengthened its monitoring of the Internet, especially after the outbreak of the Iraq War and the 911 terrorist attacks.

The role of search engines in today's daily life is too important, many people may contact Google more times than they have to contact their own uh mother, and what the U.S. government has to do is when you call your mother, or what was said on the phone, what was written in the email, this is what they want to know, analyze the various documents in it, find out the factors that are unfavorable to themselves, and see if there is a possibility of a terrorist attack.

Some time ago, Google confronted the U.S. government, causing the stock to plummet below $400.

Google's competitors, Yahoo, the world's second- and third-largest search engine, and Microsoft's MSN, have officially surrendered to the U.S. government, providing a specific list of some search requests, as well as millions of URLs stored in the database.

And at present, Google's development is not only civilian, but also involves the military, Google has been providing search technology servers for US intelligence agencies since 06 to help intelligence officers improve their work.

No company dares to go against the U.S. government, and Google is the same, and the reason why Google values the government's business is entirely based on huge commercial interests.

In this regard, Google learned the lessons of Microsoft, because Microsoft has few political ties in the United States, and as a result, it suffered a government antitrust lawsuit in 1998 and lost a lot of money.

Later, Microsoft learned from the hard way and invested millions of dollars a year in government public relations.

Google is certainly not far behind, with more than a dozen government publicists, as well as several lobbying experts who are familiar with the rules.

Among these experts are some retired senior government officials, Robert Boustin, former President Clinton's senior foreign policy adviser.

In order to break into Capitol Hill, the Google 101 campaign was planned. Teach everyone how to use Google software better.

A lot of money was spent. It is used to finance the U.S. presidential campaign. Sponsored two presidential candidate debates and invited four presidential candidates to Google's headquarters in California.

To put it simply, the U.S. government doesn't want Kim Do-joon to own so many shares in Google, and without such a huge technology company and no government behind it, otherwise it would have been crushed by various opponents in international competition.

Fortunately, Kim Do-joon is just a hands-off shopkeeper and does not participate in the daily operation and management of the company, otherwise it is very likely that he will be uprooted because of the huge intelligence value and military use in Google.

Kim Do-joon's eyes narrowed. Some were not very happy and dared to threaten themselves.

Although I know that going against the person in front of me is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, but there is no justifiable reason, just for a safe concept, I want to take the shares in my hand, which is too simple. Kim Do-joon believes that it will also cause them a lot of trouble.

Hasn't the United States always advertised itself as a fair, democratic, and free country? Isn't that the best place to live the American dream?

But who knows. These are the results of intertwined interests, there is no absolute fairness, only relative equality, this is the real reality.

"What do you want to do? Take my shares? ”

Kim Do-joon thought for a while and responded.

"Of course it's not to take it, it's you who take the initiative to release, you have to reduce your holdings to only 20% of the shares, this is our bottom line, the other 5% of the shares, there will be Larry Page and Brin to take over, and you have to ensure the future development of Google, you must unconditionally support, in the voting rights and shareholders' meetings, you must maintain a high degree of consistency with them, of course, the released shares, Larry Page and Brin will use the same market price to repurchase, you don't have to worry about this!"

Kim Do-joon smiled slightly, a little self-deprecating.

"Can I say no?"

In one of his words, he wanted to reduce his holdings by 5 percent, is it the next time he comes to himself, he will reduce his holdings by 10 percent?

The human heart is greedy, whether it is Asian or European, no one is exempt.

"Of course not, you should know that I am standing here and representing the interests of the United States of America, and you have no right to say NO!"

David Bo Higin unexpectedly toughened, and his tone became a little stiff, as if he was a little dissatisfied.

Looking at his expression, Kim Do-jun knew that this matter was already in the boat, and no matter what, it couldn't be changed, and the best result now was to fight for some practical benefits for himself before agreeing to reduce his shareholdings.

I just thought about the Ford company, and I sorted out the language a little before I spoke.

"What do you think if I agree to reduce my shareholdings, but I have some demands?"

David Bo Xijin glanced at Jin Daojun with some surprise, but he didn't expect this guy to be quite brainy, and he actually dared to make a request to himself, nodded, and said.

"Tell me about it first, and see if I can do it!"

Kim Do-joon sorted out his thoughts in his mind, paused, and then blurted out.

"I can immediately sign an agreement to reduce the shareholding, from 25 percent to 20 percent, but as a condition for the reduction, I need to participate in the sale of Jaguar and Land Rover by Ford, I know that they have reached a preliminary agreement, but I don't know how much the specific purchase price is, but one thing, I know very well, without the approval of the U.S. Department of Commerce, this transaction between Ford and India's Tata Group will not be recognized, and I can rely on their purchase price. Another $200 million, and at the same time, I promise to set up factories in the United States, increase local employment and government taxes, and inject another $1 billion as the funds needed for the development and reform of Land Rover and Jaguar. ”

There is one thing that the Americans admire very much, it is very direct, and there is nothing taboo about the interests on the table.

And through this incident, Kim Do-joon can be more closely linked with the U.S. government, through large-scale investment in the United States, the establishment of factories, the promotion of local employment and consumption environment, and the increase of tax revenue, why not?

In addition, the original Ford company, as well as the American political and business circles, were all interested in the sale of Jaguar and Land Rover. Objections are reserved. If you can keep it in the United States. Isn't it the best of both worlds?

Therefore, Kim Do-joon is very confident that his conditions can be recognized by the other party.

After Kim Do-jun finished speaking, David Bo Xikin lowered his head and thought carefully to see what the pros and cons were.

Larry Page is even more puzzled, why Jason is suddenly buying the auto industry, this is not too much.

After a while, I looked at it and there was no response. Kim Do-joon continued.

"If I come to acquire, I can integrate the two companies faster, because it does not involve the original industry, and I will hire a new management team, develop the company with new ideas, faster market response ability, and better innovation ability, which is a greater advantage than the Indian Tata Group!"

Sometimes, if you want to persuade someone, you have to do everything you can.

It's been a long time. David Bo Xikin asked.

"Are you sure you have that much money? I can't guarantee that you will be able to make the acquisition. But I can give it a try for you! ”

This matter has long been discussed in the Ministry of Commerce, and the number of people who support and oppose it is very large, and from their own point of view, they do not like such luxury car brands to leave the United States.

Kim Do-joon smiled, glanced at Larry Page, and said with a smile.

"My five percent stake, according to the market price, is nearly $5 billion, although it is still far from my ideal share price, but for the sake of mankind, for the sake of the United States of America, I can grudgingly accept this price!"

To be honest, Kim Do-jun does have some flesh pain, the current price is only a little more than $400, according to Kim Do-jun's prediction, Google's stock can rise to at least $700 a share, which is normal, which means that he has nearly doubled his loss.

David Bo Xijin touched his nose, glanced at Jin Daojun with some embarrassment, listening to what he said, he felt that he was sarcastic, but there was no way, this is whatever was explained above, and it must be completed.

Fortunately, Kim Do-jun is quite on the road and knows how to measure himself, but now it seems that the problem is not too big, the shares of the troika have completely surpassed Kim Do-jun, and even in the board of directors, the voting rights he has greatly surpass him.

As long as it is united, it is basically foolproof.

Kim Do-joon thought about it and then added.

"This time, I hope that no news will come out, and I don't want my identity to be exposed, I will entrust my CEO to be solely responsible for this matter, if there is anything, contact him directly!"

Now he just wants to be an artist, don't worry about complicated things, stay quietly in South Korea, play music, sing and write lyrics, compose feat, appear in variety shows, and act in TV movies, which is the most important thing.

"Don't worry about this, since I'm here, it means that your news has been completely blocked and protected, and you don't have to worry about being leaked, and besides, you won't see me very much in the future, right?"

David Bo Xikin smiled slightly and immediately responded.

And so it went on until March 8.

Finally, with the approval of the U.S. Department of Commerce, Ford resold two British luxury car brands, Jaguar and Land Rover, to KDJ Motors, a newly established company in London, for $2.5 billion.

KDJ Motors will be acquired for $2.5 billion in cash, and will overhaul the existing plant and inject $1 billion into the day-to-day operation and management of the two vehicles, as well as vehicle research and development.

Ford is investing $600 million in employee benefits and pension plans for Jaguar and Land Rover.

At the press conference of the signing ceremony, Alan Mulally, President and CEO of Ford Motor Company, said.

"We are confident that under the leadership of KDJ Automotive, these two brands will continue to build on their existing excellent products, business plans and elite teams!"

Lewis, Ford's executive vice president for Europe, said.

"This is a win-win agreement that ensures that Jaguar Land Rover's management and employees can continue to focus on the business and achieve the best possible commercial results!"

Joshua, President and CEO of KDJ Motors, said.

"We believe that with the joint efforts of all colleagues and collective employees of Jaguar and Land Rover, we will turn losses into profits in recent years, and at the same time will continue to develop new products and explore the international market, so that everyone can enjoy the fruits of reform while developing the company and individuals!"

The next day, Joshua, as CEO of KDJ's investment company, signed a private agreement with Google.

The New York Port Authority building will be transferred to Kim Do-joon for a symbolic price of $1 as his personal property, which will take effect one year later.

During this period, Google promised to acquire the ownership of the building for $1.9 billion in the first half of this year, and successfully complete the closing by the end of the year.

At the same time, Kim Do-joon will lease back to Google at the market price at an annual rent of 5 percent for Google's new office building in New York.

On the Korean Air 0Z221 plane, Kim Do-joon was already sleepy at this time, and he couldn't rest properly for several days, so he was busy with the acquisition.

Although Joshua represented himself at various events, press conferences, signing ceremonies, etc., in fact, Kim Do-jun has already met many people, including the president of Ford, the president of Amex, the minister of commerce, and so on.

Without exception, no one would leak his news, so he lay down on the couch with peace of mind, ready to sleep.

Just closed his eyes and squinted slightly, he was woken up by Han Chenghao next to him, holding the things in his hand, playing non-stop, and asking from time to time

"Daojun, is this the legendary black card?" (To be continued......)
