Since 1979 I have been in the tide of the times

The night of August [-]th was cloudless and clear.

The first group of fireworks rose into the sky by the Yongding River, and at the same time bloomed in the sky, and a huge footprint appeared in the sky.

Then footprints made of fireworks appeared in the sky one after another, like a giant heading for the Bird's Nest Stadium in the distance.

The last footprint bloomed over the Bird's Nest Stadium, and more than 9 people cheered together.

Song Yu and Ou Xiaoyang sat with their wives and children looking up at the fireworks that gradually disappeared in the sky.

Both of them were very excited and regretted that Wang Weidong was not present at such an exciting scene.

The exciting and magnificent scenes followed one after another, until the cute little girl stood in the center of the gymnasium and sang "Ode to the Motherland".

The pure and childish voice flows in everyone's heart like a clear spring.

Song Yu couldn't help turning his head and said to Ou Xiaoyang: "Xiaoyang, tell me, are we people who have made contributions to the country like our parents?"

"Of course! How much contribution have the two of us and Weidong made to the country over the years? Just now we paid out more than 6000 million!" Ou Xiaoyang replied without hesitation.

2008 was so memorable, there were earthquakes, the Olympics and wars.

And it broke out on the same day as the Olympics.

Five days later, Wang Weidong received a call from Goncharova.

"Verton, do you have time now?" Goncharova asked.

"What's the matter? Could it be that you are going to the battlefield?" Wang Weidong asked back.

"This is not true. The war will end soon. I want to introduce you to a person, a genius, a mathematical genius and a famous entrepreneur in our northern country." Goncharova said.

"But now I really don't want to go to Magadan." Wang Weidong said.

"You don't need to come to Magadan, Mr. Segalovich will come to China to meet you. His company is currently extremely short of working capital, so I will introduce you to him." Goncharova said.

"I don't want to invest in companies I don't know!" Wang Weidong said.

"You can meet with him first, and it's up to you to decide whether to invest in the end." Goncharova said.

Two days later a plane from Moscow landed at Beijing Airport.

A middle-aged man from a big northern country walked over quickly when he saw someone holding a sign of Segalovich written in Russian in the aisle.

"I am Verton, Mr. Segalovich, and I will take you to the hotel right now." Wang Weidong said.

Wang Weidong took Segalovich to a four-star hotel outside the Fifth Ring Road.

"I'm sorry Mr. Segalovich, it's very difficult to stay in a hotel in the city center now." Wang Weidong explained.

"It doesn't matter, Miss Goncharova told me, you are a wise person, and people like us don't care about these things." Saigalovich said.

Looking at Segalovich's long face, Wang Weidong asked, "Miss Goncharova said you are a math genius!"

"In the 70s, I represented my country and won a silver medal in the Olympic mathematics!" Segalovic said proudly.

"Really? As far as I know, many people in our country have won gold medals in these years!" Wang Weidong said bluntly.

You must not lose face in front of foreigners.

"I know this too. I heard that your country has made great progress over the years." Segalovic said.

This is what all Chinese people want to hear.

Wang Weidong was very satisfied, and he said to Segalovich: "Now you can introduce your company first, so that I can have a certain understanding."

"Yandex was established by me and my good friend Woluozhi. It is now the largest search engine in the northern country. Of course, we have also entered into other businesses in addition to search engines in recent years. This time I came to you to raise funds for this matter. We need to do some M&A but there is no money right now," Segalovic said.

"Why don't you find money elsewhere? There are so many tycoons in the big northern countries, and now Western financial institutions are very interested in the Internet. They are now everywhere in China. If Yandex is as promising as you said, they will not let it go Yours!" Wang Weidong said.

"Our angel round investment a few years ago was invested by Americans. It was originally agreed that they would invest 1000 million U.S. dollars this time, but you know that after the war broke out, Western countries wanted to sanction us, and the financial company immediately notified us. The matter has been postponed indefinitely." Segalovic said regretfully.

"We want to acquire an electronic advertising company, which will cost 500 million rubles, and a road traffic monitoring company in a large northern country. I estimate that the purchase price will be more than 700 million rubles. These two acquisitions will cost at least 1000 million US dollars. I hope that Mr. Vertong can invest [-] million US dollars!" Segalovic continued.

"Then what are my benefits?" Wang Weidong asked.

"You will get 5.00% of Yandex's equity. A few years ago when Yandex was still very small, American Gu Ge offered us 1000 million US dollars to acquire us, but we rejected it. Now you can exchange 5.00 million US dollars for [-]% of equity. Less," Segalovich replied.

"I have to think about this matter, and I have to send people to Moscow to investigate. I can't give you an answer soon." Wang Weidong said.

In the evening, Wang Weidong called Goncharova: "Miss Goncharova, you are a rich man in the northern country just with that gold! Why don't you directly invest in Yandex and let me invest?"

"Verton, that gold is not my private property, it belongs to the great northern country and the people of Magadan!" Goncharova replied.

"Miss Goncharova, if you take all the gold for yourself, you will become much cuter in the eyes of some people!" Wang Weidong said.

Naturally, Li Yueshi should be allowed to do this kind of investigation. Of course, some things can be done through the Internet. Yandex is the largest search engine company in the northern country, and it is among the top [-] search engine companies in the world, so there is no problem.

One month later, Li Yueshi, on behalf of Wang Weidong, signed an agreement with Yandex's Segalovich and Vorozh in Moscow to purchase 1000% of Yandex's equity for US$5.00 million.

"Since it is a good company, we should find a way to get this company listed as soon as possible!" Wang Weidong said to Li Yueshi on the phone.

After arriving in the capital, the happiest people were Wang Haifu and Lao Wangtou and old Chen Tou. The two took the tickets bought by Wang Weidong to watch the games in various gymnasiums, and contacted Shi Ke through the phone number Wang Weidong gave.

One is from the Xiangyang Chemical Factory, and the other two are old workers from the factory. The three of them were very emotional when they got together.

"I invite the two of you to eat roast duck. I have traveled abroad several times in the past few years, but I have never visited the capital. Starting tomorrow, the three of us will visit the Badaling Great Wall, Ming Tombs and all the scenic spots in the city. all over again!" Shi Ke said.

Back home, the two old people were very emotional.

"Director Shi is so approachable!" Wang Haifu said.

Wang Weidong wanted to ask whether the more than 3000 old comrades from the Quanxiangyang Chemical Plant should be brought to the capital to let Shi Ke buy roast duck?
But it's better not to say such yin and yang words.

"The weather is so hot now, be careful not to suffer from heat stroke! Shi Ke has a blue medical certificate, but you don't!" Wang Weidong instructed.
