readx;??? Lin Zheng doesn't know what Goldman Sachs plans to do, but it doesn't matter, with the dirty things that Goldman Sachs will do with the U.S. government against the Republic in the next few years, Lin Zheng can think that Goldman Sachs is definitely not a good idea even if he just thinks about it with the soles of his feet.

"That'...... Well," said Benier, helplessly, "but what are we going to say to him?" ”

"Any questions about this?" Lin Zheng was surprised that Benier would ask such a question: "They dare to ignore the existence of my boss, do you think I will still cooperate with them?" You just told them that I was upset that they were ignoring me at Goldman Sachs, so I decided to get them out...... Even if they offer $40 million per 1% of the shares, don't expect me to give them a chance. ”

"......" Benier opened his mouth, but he could not say a word of comfort: this truth is so powerful, he is completely speechless.

Goldman Sachs' response was fast enough, and it didn't take long for Benier's phone to hang up. Paulson's phone called Lin Zheng's mobile phone, and the girl apologized one after another: "Lin, this is my negligence ......"

Lin Zheng interrupts Henry. Paulson's words were unceremoniously said: "Henry, I don't care why this happens, I only care about what I see, what I see is the arrogance shown by Goldman Sachs...... So be it, and I hope we will have a chance to work together in the future. ”

To Henry. Paulson's chances of explaining? Why? With that qualification?

Lin Zheng's reaction was completely more intense than Henry's. Paulson's anticipation, in the face of Lin Zheng, who did not play cards according to common sense at all, Henry. Paulson has a feeling that he has met a soldier: "Lin, Goldman Sachs is the best ......"

"Morgan Stanley and Merrill Lynch, Lehman Brothers also said they were the best, Henry, sorry. I'm a bit busy right now, so let's leave it at that, we'll get back in touch another day. "Finished. Not to Henry at all. When Paulson had the opportunity to speak again, Lin Zheng hung up the phone without hesitation.

"......" Benier looked at Henry Henry, a Wall Street man of the year, with admiration. Paulson's own boss. For a while, a high thumbs up: You cow! But another question is: "Boss, what about the shares vacated by Goldman Sachs?" ”

"Isn't it just 8%, and a few other investment banks will take over if they want to, and if they don't accept it, we will keep it for ourselves," Lin Zheng asked angrily: "In addition, tell those investment banks that I am very angry." So to remind them not to make similar mistakes in the future, the price of that 8% has now gone up: $40 million/1%, plus $300 million in interest-free loans for three years. ”

"There's no way they'll agree......," Benier whispered, rather lacking confidence.

"If you don't agree, you don't agree, how big is it?" Lin Zheng looked disdainful: "Are we short of this money?" ”

That's really not lacking! Benier hurriedly shook his head: Even if there is no 8% stake in Goldman Sachs, it is actually not a big deal, the first investment in the ICQ network mall project, ICQ itself can easily take it out, but Benier is still a little worried: "But Goldman Sachs is also a financial giant on Wall Street, and you cut off contact with them at this time." It's like a slap in the face, they won't give up so easily, right? ”

With Benier's knowledge of the financial giants on Wall Street, he missed such an opportunity. If you don't give ICQ some trouble at this time, these guys don't deserve to be called "vampires".

"I almost forgot if you didn't say this," Lin Zheng patted his head, Benier didn't say this he really didn't think about it for a while: "Tell Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley and Sequoia guys, add one more clause to the previous clause: don't say bad things about us; In addition, whoever dares to speak ill of us, they have a duty to help us beat him! ”

“……”

Is that okay? Benier was speechless.

But it turns out that this is really okay, these "excessive" requirements for Lin Zheng. Morgan Stanley, Bank of Merrill Lynch, Sequoia Capital and Lehman Brothers agreed without hesitation: they were frustrated by the fact that they had too few shares in the ICQ online mall, which was a sudden 8% more. Deng Shi made several major investment banks who were frustrated by the fact that ICQ had taken out too few shares smile crookedly.

What the? Isn't $40 million for every 1% of the shares a bit expensive?

The four major venture capitalists only said two crooked sentences, and saw that ICQ did not mean to relax at all. Immediately agreed.

After more than a month of brewing and market cultivation, the response of the ICQ network mall project in North America and Europe is quite enthusiastic, and some analysts have given an estimate of the ICQ network mall after 2 years: not less than 8 billion US dollars, 2 years can double the value of their money, and the average annual appreciation rate is as high as 50%!

In the face of this pie-in-the-sky good thing, even venture capital giants, which are known for their high profits, have nothing to be dissatisfied with.

And that $300 million three-year interest-free loan...... Although such a large sum of money is indeed a little reluctant, it is not unacceptable if you can take this opportunity in exchange for the priority cooperation right of ICQ in the next investment;

As for Lin Zheng's last condition of "if someone scolds me, you will help me beat him", in the eyes of these Wall Street giants, it is not a problem at all: they only need to say hello to the media they are familiar with, and the news that says bad things about ICQ will not appear on TV and newspapers.

Besides, even if Goldman Sachs has familiar media, so what? There is 1 bad word for ICQ, everyone can guarantee that there are 5 people who help ICQ say good things, and the most important thing is that any project, there are good things to say, there are bad words, in order to play the best publicity effect, in order to attract more people to pay attention, such a simple truth everyone understands.

"So that's it?" Comrade Benier was a little unacceptable to this result.

Lin Zheng asked rhetorically, "Otherwise, what else do you want?" Do you think we should beg them to be? ”

"Uh......" Benier scratched his head, also feeling that his train of thought didn't seem quite right, "Well, I guess I was intimidated by Goldman Sachs' fame." ”

"Can you have any other explanation for that?" Lin Zheng said angrily.

For Comrade Lao Bei, Goldman Sachs, which has a history of hundreds of years and has penetrated into every corner of American society, is an existence that he can only look up to in the past, and all kinds of magical legends about Goldman Sachs circulating in American society have added a layer of mystery to this company, making Goldman Sachs look like a magical existence hiding behind the White House and mysteriously manipulating the country. Let Benier naturally have a heartfelt awe of Goldman Sachs, and at the right time, this awe takes root and affects Benier's judgment of things.

It is not possible to get rid of this kind of psychological suggestion in a day or two, but this is always a good start, after a pause, Lin Zheng asked: "Huamei Bank, you cooperate more, I hope ICQ and Huamei Bank can support each other and develop together." ”

Compared with the hype about the imminent launch of the ICQ online mall, ICQ's acquisition of a 51% stake in East West Bank has been much more low-key, and the entire acquisition process is highly secretive, and the major American media outlets, which have always been known for their pervasiveness, are completely unaware of it.

However, it is understandable that if it is a giant bank such as Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, and Bank of America, even a 1% change in shares will cause a shock in the financial market, but East West Bank is just a small bank with total assets of just over $100 million, and there are nearly 100 such banks in the United States, and such banks fail almost every year.

Although East West Bank is only a small bank, for ICQ, the existence of East West Bank is of great significance, a company has a bank as a backing and no bank as a backing, which are two completely different feelings: as long as you think that there is a nurse in the back to replenish blood at any time, the whole person has more confidence.

Bennier understood the great significance of East West Bank to the boss and to ICQ, and nodded solemnly.

"Isn't our Boeing 737 about to be revised, and I'm going to take this opportunity to connect with ICQ and East West Bank, and at the same time be a reward and celebration for the company, what do you think?" Lin Zheng consulted Benier's opinion.

"I think it's okay," Benier also thinks Lin Zheng's idea is good, since the two companies are the same boss, of course everyone should strengthen their contact: "Isn't the plane in the final test?" There is still a week to go, just in time for the maiden voyage. ”

Speaking of the Boeing 737-400 purchased from Philippine Airlines, the entire modification process took a lot of effort, because of the huge amount of work, the entire modification lasted nearly 3 months, and the modification cost and the purchase cost were basically the same.

One thing is not very good, the international jet modification company as a relationship of Boeing, this matter is inevitably known by Boeing, Boeing, which has a backlog of nearly 2,000 planes on hand, is now red, in order to be able to sell the backlog of aircraft in his hands is really a bloody investment, in the spirit of "no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat", even ICQ is willing to let go, desperately trying to persuade Lin Zheng to buy another BBJ business jet based on Boeing 737 modification, The offer given is also quite attractive: a BBJ modified according to Lin Zheng's intentions costs only 26 million US dollars, which basically does not have much profit, but unfortunately, Lin Zheng still did not agree.

"Okay, that's it." Lin Zheng agreed very happily. (To be continued)
