My Age of Investment

  Chapter 1582 Businessman

   "Hahaha~, Darren, you gave me a big surprise this time."

  As soon as he got out of the car, Blankfein let out a long series of hearty laughter, and then strode forward to shake hands with Xia Jingxing and Ivanka respectively.

  Looking at the treacherous bald man in front of him, Xia Jingxing didn't relax his vigilance, and smiled slightly, "Really? As long as you don't think it's shocking."

  The smile on Blankfein's face froze for a moment, his eyeballs rolled slightly, and then he smiled and said: "Of course not, but if you let me know in advance, I will be happier."

   "Sorry, it's urgent, I don't have time to do so many actions. But didn't I come to discuss with you right now?"

  Blankefein's eyes lingered on Xia Jingxing's face for a few seconds, and finally nodded, without saying anything more.

   Seeing that the atmosphere of the conversation between the two was a bit abnormal, Ivanka hurriedly stood up to smooth things over for Xia Jingxing and invited Blankfein into the room.

   Then, Blankfein followed the two to the beautifully manicured lawn behind the villa.

   Several chairs and tables had already been set up on the green grass. After Xia Jingxing greeted Blankfein to take a seat, he asked Ivanka to make two cups of coffee and bring them over.

  Basking in the sun, drinking delicious coffee, and then comfortably blowing the sea breeze, looking up at the magnificent and boundless Atlantic Ocean scenery, Blankfein unconsciously relaxed his mind.

However, he still did not forget the important purpose of this trip. After taking a few sips of coffee, he put down the cup, crossed his legs and asked, "Daren, you asked me out today, you didn't just create a surprise for me, did you?" ?”

  “New York City is too noisy, it’s good to come here to see the scenery and relax.”

Blankfein sneered, "I'm not as careless as you. An hour ago, when I was still on the road leading to Greenwich in Manhattan, my assistant called me suddenly, saying that Facebook's stock price had collapsed at the opening. 5%, I am totally confused.

   Tell me, what do you want to do? Taking advantage of the new round of large-scale lifting of the ban on Facebook stocks, throw away some of them first?

   No, you can't be that stupid, let me guess, your real intention is to put some pressure on Goldman Sachs, so that we can side with you in the upcoming SEC case against Envision Capital? "

   "Laurd, you think too bad of me!"

  Xia Jingxing took a sip of coffee, and said in a neutral tone, "I never persecute my friends, especially a friend who shares our same illness."

   Bellocken smiled and said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense, what exactly do you want me to talk about here?"

   "Talk about a big deal!"

   "Big business? When I hear this word now, I feel guilty!"

   Blankfein shook his head violently, then stared at Xia Jingxing with a meaningful look.

  Xia Jingxing laughed dumbfounded, knowing very well that the other party wanted to transfer the account of being sued some time ago to Envision Capital, so as to facilitate the claim for certain compensation in the following business negotiations.

  Compensation can be given, but the momentum cannot be lost, so Xia Jingxing immediately joked: "Then I should talk to Mack?"

  Blankefein used to like this very much, but today it completely failed. The old man grinned and said: "He will step down as the chairman soon, and he will not make any further complications at this juncture."

Xia Jingxing replied with a bright smile: "He recommended James Gao Wen to me. We had a very pleasant conversation. At the same time, Gao Wen also promised that Morgan Stanley will continue to maintain the relationship with Vision Capital in the post-Mack era. We have a good cooperative relationship and jointly develop the Chinese market and the global financial market full of opportunities and challenges."

  Blankefein still had a smile on his face, but he cursed countless "damn" in his heart.

  He knew that his expectations had completely failed!

  Even if Morgan Stanley changes its CEO and chairman, the cooperation with Envision Capital and Darren Xia will not change easily.

  As long as the new head, Gao Wen, is not stupid, he will definitely continue to choose to win over Darren Xia, not for anything else but for the rich and enviable resources and assets in this kid's hands.

  If Morgan Stanley still occupies the position, then Goldman Sachs will never be able to monopolize all the business of Xia Jingxing and his business empire.

  Under this extremely effective strategy of checks and balances, he and Goldman Sachs had a lot of apprehensions in doing things, and had to be careful not to push Xia Jingxing into the arms of Morgan Stanley.

  Thinking of this, Blankfein had to put on a smile and said, "Daren, Morgan Stanley's services for Vision Capital are far inferior to Goldman Sachs, and it's clear that they haven't been accused!

   Only the person who sits with you in the dock is the real friend who can stand the test! "

   "That's right! That's why I chose to meet you first."

   "So, what do you mean by business?"

  Looking at Blankfein's expectant eyes, Xia Jingxing slowly uttered a word: "Android!"

  Blankefein's spirit was lifted immediately, "Are you going to put Android on the shelves?"

   "Why not an independent listing?"

   "Hehe, you should also know that there are some noises in the technology world now, and Android's information security and patent issues are everywhere.

   Some people don't want Android to grow stronger, because it threatens an Internet giant with a market value of 200 billion US dollars. "

   Blankfell paused for a moment, and said with an inscrutable expression: "To break this unfavorable situation, you must have an Internet giant of the same size and with the same number of important shareholders behind you as a backer.

   I read Facebook very well!

  At the same time, it can also take this opportunity to stabilize a large number of shareholders who are facing a new round of lifting of the ban on stocks, create expectations, and prop up the shaky stock price. "

  Blankefein is indeed an old fox, he guessed exactly what Xia Jingxing was thinking.

  However, Blankfein only mentioned the two birds of "fighting against Google" and "supporting the stock price", and did not mention the third bird of "buying Goldman Sachs" at all.

  Xia Jingxing had no choice but to take the initiative and asked, "I want to hand over this acquisition business to Goldman Sachs, what do you think?"

   "Exclusive?" Blankfein had a big appetite, and planned to recover some costs from this business for Goldman Sachs, which paid more than 500 million US dollars in settlement.

"Can!"

  Xia Jingxing also gave in a bit knowingly, after all, Goldman Sachs' position was there, and he still had a request from Goldman Sachs.

Blankfein thought about it in his mind. In addition to serving as the financial advisor for Facebook's acquisition of Android, Goldman Sachs might also have to issue a batch of bonds for Facebook to raise enough cash for the acquisition. At least half of the more than 500 million US dollars extorted by the SEC can be recovered, which is close to 1% of last year's revenue, and Android is merged into Facebook, allowing Facebook to develop new business growth points and increase the company's stock price. Goldman Sachs also has a lot to gain.

  After thinking for a while, Blankfein readily agreed, "OK, we will leave this matter to us."

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said, "What about the case?"

   "You still can't trust the reputation of our Goldman Sachs?"

"I really can't believe it." Xia Jingxing complained silently in his heart, but his iconic smile was still on his face, "Ari, Hai Nei Holdings, and Jingxi will be listed in the U.S. stock market in turn, but it all depends on the reputation of Goldman Sachs Escorted us."

   Blankfein chuckled, how could he not understand Xia Jingxing's hint or threat, nodded and said: "Don't worry, we will never disappoint our customers.

   Also, we hate the SEC and the Euros. "

  Xia Jingxing laughed loudly, "Then you have to take good care of Fabrice, I heard that someone is introducing him to a new job recently."

  Hearing this, Blankfein's eyes instantly turned cold, knowing that he must give Xia Jingxing a satisfactory answer today, so he immediately replied: "This is Goldman Sachs's housework, and we will not embarrass the client."

  Xia Jingxing finished his point and didn't say any more.

   "I heard that you have conflicts with some of our upper-class nobles in New York? Do you need me to help mediate?"

  Seeing Blankfein's eagerness to help, Xia Jingxing always felt that this guy had no good intentions, or he was just looking for a joke, so he scratched his head helplessly, "No need, I believe idiots are always in the minority."

   "That's not necessarily true! Take it easy, don't really knock the stage down, there's no chance for that show to be sung."

"Thanks for reminding!"

   "Take it as a value-added service!"
