The Age of Rebirth

Chapter 467
After finishing the order, Li Weidong took the teacup from Zhang Dongshuo's hand and went back to the office alone.

After entering the office, Li Weidong closed the door, and almost looked up to the sky with a long smile. He was just worried that the sound insulation effect of Jiang Zhili's office was not good, so he tried his best to suppress it, making a horrible "clucking" sound.

At this time, Li Weidong's mental arithmetic was completely put down. This time the cash out was successful, and his money was about to arrive.

Even if these companies regret it now, it's too late, at least [-]% of the guarantee has already been received.

Zou Yi and Zhang Dongshuo saw that Li Weidong didn't intend to invite them into the office. They glanced at each other and understood what the other meant. The boss needed an independent space.

The two returned to the conference room. They still had work to do. First, they needed to convey Li Weidong's instructions, and second, they had to strike while the iron was hot to sign the contract.

After Zhang Dongshuo and Zou Yi entered the conference room, Jiang Zhili's eyes happened to look over, intertwined in space, and then nodded slightly.

Jiang Zhili immediately understood what it meant, and he was relieved. After working so hard for so long, today finally came to fruition, and he felt a little more excited.

Then he continued to shake hands with a tall and burly white man next to him as if nothing had happened, and said, "Steve, it's a pity that there may not be a chance to cooperate this time, only next time!"

There are still many investment projects in the hands of Wuyu Capital. Except for those few special ones, according to Li Weidong's request, all of them need to be sold in a short time.

Although those projects are much smaller and less troublesome than Yahoo, but dealing with these investment companies, management companies, and equity funds is also indispensable.

It’s rare to have such a complete collection today. Although some cooperations have not been reached, saying hello and getting in touch can also lay the foundation for the next cooperation.

This Steve is the senior vice president of KPCB, and KPCB and Anma Capital are peers, both of which are venture capital investors.

In fact, there are dozens of venture capital companies gathered on a hilly road in Silicon Valley, among which there are three outstanding ones.

KPCB and Sequoia Capital are representatives among them, and Mayfly Capital is a rising star, but their recent performance is beyond the reach of these established companies.

In the venture capital industry, strength speaks for itself. Mayfly Capital has successively weighed down several companies with large market capitalization to obtain generous returns, which is the best footnote of his strength. Although he is young, he has become famous.

KPCB is also doing very well in this industry, and has successfully invested in many large companies, such as Compaq, Sun Microsystems, Midland Online, and later Netscape, Yahoo and Amazon all have his shadow.

Of course, if there is no bug of Li Weidong, KPCB will enter the market earlier, the chips will be lower, and the benefits will be more.

However, venture capital firms including KPCB and Sequoia Capital will never have a chance to know these things.

Steve is the plenipotentiary representative of KPCB Investment Company in this matter, and this quotation naturally reflects Steve's own will.

KPCB itself is also a shareholder of Yahoo. It is impossible not to understand Yahoo. Since Steve quoted this price, he has no intention of taking this part of the stock at all.

Naturally, there is his decision in it, and this decision actually comes from Anyu Capital.

In fact, Steve has been dealing with Jiang Zhili since Netscape, and has maintained a good relationship since then.

Steve himself has extraordinary trust in Anma Capital. As long as it is a project led by Anma Capital, he will try his best to persuade the company to join it. When Anma Capital withdraws, he will try his best to withdraw.

Because they suffered a loss from Netscape, they entered in a financing round before Netscape went public, although the chips were much higher than the capital of Wumai, but as long as they entered before the listing, they would definitely make some profits, and not a lot.

However, Mayfly Capital cashed out and left when the price was high, and by the time KPCB withdrew, the situation of Netscape had become clear, and the stock price had dropped a lot.

The loss is only relatively speaking, the floating profit is less, and the profit is still profitable, but a lot of money and time are wasted for nothing!

It is not only a proverb in China, but also a proverb of people all over the world to eat a fall and gain a wisdom.

Now that Mayfair Capital is selling Yahoo's shares, Steve came here this time just to find out the facts, and now he can be sure that it is time to persuade the company to sell Yahoo's shares.

A few months later, what Steve showed off the most was that he gave up the acquisition of Yahoo stock. The most regrettable thing was that he did not persuade the company to sell Yahoo stock.

Steve and Jiang Zhili hugged each other, and said with some regret: "Mr. Jiang, we were too cautious and missed this great opportunity for cooperation. I wonder what other company stocks you want to sell?"

Jiang Zhili was waiting for this sentence, but he still pretended to ponder and said: "I heard the meaning of the above, there is a China plan recently, but I am not sure yet, I must be sure, I will let you know as soon as possible!"

"I don't know if your company has plans to sell Amazon's shares?" Steve Lee asked in a low voice, as if he was afraid that others would hear.

Jiang Zhili thought in his heart, and looked at Steve slightly differently. The two have been in a relationship for several years. Even if they are opponents, they are also partners. This is not difficult to understand.

Steve is talking shit!
Jiang Zhili pondered for a while, and said in a low voice, "You think highly of me too, I'm just a part-time job, and I act according to the boss's orders!"

Steve glanced at Zou Yi, who was chatting with others, and his heart was a little drummed. Is this the boss behind the scenes? It was obvious that he would not believe everything Jiang Zhili said.

Jiang Zhili sent away the KPCB people, and then exchanged greetings with several colleagues, testing each other until all the people not related to the acquisition left.

At this time, the bank staff has confirmed the performance certificate, and has signed an entrusted preservation agreement with Anma Capital, and can proceed downward.

It is obviously a risky thing to put such a large amount of money in the safe of Anma Capital, and it is relatively safe to store it in a bank.

The negotiation of the contract is a long, trivial, and even tormenting matter, but in the final signing environment, it is an extremely simple matter, just a pen.

Then came the process of opening champagne to celebrate. With the cheers in the meeting room, a bottle of champagne worth tens of thousands of dollars was everywhere, which also meant that the matter was successfully concluded, and the rest was to raise money.

"Chairman, I will fly to New York on this evening's flight, and I will deliver it to the exchange tomorrow morning!" Jiang Zhili pointed to several stacks of documents on the table and said to Li Weidong.

This is the original and copy of the contract, which is now in effect in theory, but it still needs to be filed with the settlement agency to complete the payment of money and goods and officially take effect.

"So anxious?" Li Weidong said in surprise. Of course, after saying it, he knew that what he said was a bit too much. If it wasn't for his request, why should he be anxious.

But since the words have been said, they cannot be taken back, so Li Weidong continued: "Don't worry, let's go tomorrow, it's not a day or two away!"

Before Jiang Zhili could express his opinion, Li Weidong said again: "Well, I'll go tomorrow too. Come here. If you don't go to see the World Center, it's not for nothing!"

"Well, you're going too?" Zhang Dongshuo asked suspiciously.

This was not on their schedule. It was Li Weidong's sudden decision, which surprised Zhang Dongshuo, so he blurted out such an inappropriate sentence. Fortunately, Li Weidong didn't care too much.

"Waiting here is waiting, and going to New York is also waiting. It's better to pass by. I'm tired of waiting here every day!" Li Weidong explained.

Zou Yi and Jiang Zhili also looked at each other. They naturally didn't want Li Weidong to run around, which would have a great impact on their security work.

But the boss said that they can't stop them, but they have to try their best to promote it. Besides, the boss has already stated that it's annoying to stay here, which is dissatisfied with their arrangement.

However, Li Weidong's travel must be more troublesome than Jiang Zhili's. There must be more than one or two bodyguards, and there must be many entourages.

"Yes, I'll ask someone to book a plane ticket!" Jiang Zhili understood that the most important thing to do at this time was to arrange the itinerary and do a good job in service.

"I think it's better to charter a flight. We have more people, so it's more convenient!" Zou Yi suggested from the side.

"Chartered flight, is there time?" Li Weidong has never experienced the treatment of a chartered flight at his age.

But he has experience chartered a car, so he has to make an appointment in advance, they are leaving tomorrow, and I just thought of chartering a flight today, isn't it a bit late.

Jiang Zhili replied: "In time, all the major airlines in the United States provide charter services. They have fast approval channels for routes, and even record filing. They have a solution!"

Li Weidong's intentions were obvious. If there was time, it would be a chartered flight, and Jiang Zhili would understand, so he had to answer like this. It is wrong to refuse the leader.

As for whether it is really troublesome, only he knows, but in the capitalist society of the United States, money is everything, and everything is easy to talk about if the price is in place.

Enjoying the special service of charter flights is naturally good except for the price, but compared to their convenience, everything is worth it!
"Then charter a flight!" Li Weidong made the final decision. He has money, but he hasn't experienced it yet. He is already low-key enough not to buy a plane. Chartering a plane is nothing.

At this moment, there were four people standing in front of Li Weidong, Zhang Dongshuo, Fu Xiaomin, Jiang Zhili, and Zou Yi. Chartering a flight was not as simple as booking a ticket. Obviously Fu Xiaomin was the one who could do it.

So Fu Xiaomin said very perceptively: "Yes, Chairman, I'll contact the airline right now!"

"The flight is scheduled for tomorrow night first, and arrives early the day after tomorrow," and then said to Zhang Dongshuo, "You can contact Consul Wang at the San Francisco Consulate General!"

Li Weidong paused and continued: "Let's set off for San Francisco in a while, see if he has time, and say I'll visit him!"

After Fu Xiaomin heard it, she nodded to show that she knew it. Jiang Zhili and Zou Yi also understood that Li Weidong wanted to stay in San Francisco for a day. They had to arrange his tour itinerary, and it was also important for the boss to have a good time.

As for the visit to Consul Wang, it is estimated that it is a normal etiquette entertainment. Although there is nothing to trouble him, but Tang Zhenhua asked Li Weidong to find him if there is something to do, he will definitely notify him in advance, and he should visit if there is anything.

"Chairman, you have to meet with Yahoo's management at two o'clock in the afternoon!" Zhang Dongshuo reminded.

"Oh, I almost forgot about this!" Li Weidong patted his forehead and said angrily, he didn't come here for business, but this was on the agenda.

"Do you want to cancel?" Zhang Dongshuo suggested. In theory, Li Weidong is no longer a shareholder of Yahoo, and the date of the equity transfer contract is today.

"How about that, leave after seeing them later, you go to the hotel to pack your luggage first!" Li Weidong glared at Zhang Dongshuo, this is a bad idea.

Even if Li Weidong is not very optimistic about Yahoo, Yahoo is still a top star with a market value of [-] billion, and is favored by capital. It would be rude to break an appointment casually.

Moreover, he went to San Francisco for tourism, to see the scenery, and to relax after work. If he let others dove because of this, I am afraid that his employees will look down on him.

"Okay, I'll go to the hotel to pack my luggage!" Zhang Dongshuo felt that he might be a little too excited today, and he had already made several mistakes, so it's better to talk less, he didn't want to lose this job with a lot of money, few things, and close to home.

Li Weidong didn't go back to the hotel at noon, and stared for a while on the sofa in the office.

At around 01:30, Li Weidong woke up and waited for the management of Yahoo to come over. At the same time, he was thinking about what to say about breaking up!
Goodbye Jianghu, passers-by from now on?

Or more lyrical, holding hands and looking at teary eyes, choking speechlessly?
Li Weidong shuddered suddenly, it was so fucking disgusting!
At this time, the door of the office rang, and Li Weidong glanced at his watch. At 10:[-], it should be someone from Yahoo. He was very polite and knew that he would arrive [-] minutes earlier!
Seeing Zhang Dongshuo push the door in, Li Weidong said directly: "Let them in!"

Zhang Dongshuo was a little dazed and understood what the boss meant, and the boss misunderstood him, so he said with a smile, "Chairman, they haven't arrived yet!"

"Is something wrong?"

"Oh, I've contacted the consulate. Chief Wang went to the state capital to attend an important event. He just left at noon today, and he won't be back until the day after tomorrow at the earliest. In addition, the luggage has been packed and put in the car!"

"Forget it, prepare a gift to show us!" Li Weidong said after thinking about it.

It's fine if you think about it, and they don't have a direct friendship. This friendship comes from Tang Zhenhua. As long as Tang Zhenhua doesn't look ugly, a gift is enough to express it.

Ten minutes after two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Dongshuo knocked on the door again and came in. He said rather resentfully: "Chairman, Yang Zhiyuan from Yahoo and some executives are here. Let them come in, or wait a while?"

In Zhang Dongshuo's memory, others were waiting for Li Weidong most of the time. It seemed that no one had made Li Weidong wait for 10 minutes for a long time except to pick up Li Qian's brother and sister from school.

In fact, in their dealings in the business field, punctuality is a very important quality at their level, and being 10 minutes late is definitely considered a faux pas.

That is to say, Li Weidong has a better temper. The chairman of such a big company, time is so precious, and the schedule is calculated by the minute. If it is on someone else, it is estimated that there is no chance to meet.

An online car-hailing car waits for you for 5 minutes, and if the person does not arrive, you can cancel without responsibility, let alone such a big chairman.

Li Weidong glanced at his watch, and it was 10 minutes later than the agreed time. Just now he thought that he was sensible, but he arrived 10 minutes earlier, and now the polarity reversed immediately.

However, Li Weidong is a self-cultivated person. Even if he is angry, he will not express it out of his mouth. He still politely said: "What are you waiting for? Please come in!"
