King of Capital

Chapter 65 Declaration of Victory
Thanks to top-notch medical treatment, Xie Jingxing was barely able to race in a wheelchair after lying in bed for three days. The doctor suggested that it would be best for him to rest for a while, but the reality did not allow that.

The 45 million yuan of funds that were originally scheduled for personal investment in mid-July in China are lying in the bank account and I feel like I am losing money every day. Overseas, the -day legal compliance review of the WhatsApp acquisition case has entered a critical stage and the results may come out at any time in the next few days.

"These are all settled matters. What are your plans for the future?" Yu Tong asked while pushing a wheelchair in the small outdoor garden of the hospital.

Xie Jing Xing looked pale and lazily breathed in the fresh air and said, "A lot, too many to count."

"Then tell me one by one. I want to hear it." Yu Tong was very proactive in fighting for the "right to know."

Zhou Fenglan hasn't come to the hospital since they had dinner together. These days, she has been pushing a wheelchair to receive visitors who come to pay their respects, and now she has to ask for some wages.

Xie Jingxing thought for a moment and said frankly, "First of all, it's Didi. Cheng Wei is a little anxious because he is being chased from all sides. After returning to China to settle personal investment, he has to have a fight with Mr. Ma first."

"It sounds like you and Brother Xiao Ma are holding a grudge against each other." Yu Tong joked with schadenfreude.

Xie Jingxing explained helplessly: "I don't deny that there are personal emotions, but it is indeed a strategic competition."

In order to attract Amazon on board, Tencent launched its mobile payment function a month in advance. Ordinary people cannot guess the connection between the two, but how could Jack Ma not guess it?

Mobile payment + cross-border e-commerce, to some extent, Pony Ma reaped a huge unexpected surprise in the WhatsApp acquisition. Both of these moves were aimed at Alibaba's core business.

Therefore, Jack Ma's suppression of Didi came earlier and more fiercely than in the original timeline. While supporting Kuaidi to launch the attack, he also brokered its merger with Bumblebee. He drained all of Didi's funds on the operational level, and exerted efforts at both home and abroad on the financial level, not allowing anyone to invest in Didi.

Jack Ma is determined to strangle Tencent’s mobile payment ambitions, and he has already secured a share of this field!
Cheng Wei looked around and ran around looking for investors, but got only one result - Didi had taken Tencent's money and its development was in jeopardy because of Kuaidi, so why would investors go through the trouble of offending Alibaba?

"Strategic competition, then we are competitors." Yu Tong joked with a smile.

Her family has deep roots in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and is more or less a part of the interest group behind Alibaba. The operation that forced Jack Ma to return to China in a hurry two days ago instead of continuing to disgust Tencent in New York can only be done once.

Next time, don’t say that Ali doesn’t give you face, her family will have opinions about it.

Xie Jingxing was not very happy: "Am I really a gigolo?"

"Zhou Fenglan said that you joined the game on purpose." Yu Tong said frankly.

Xie Jing Xing was stunned for a moment and subconsciously wanted to look back at her. The wound was slightly painful when he pulled it. He took a deep breath and said, "Maybe."

When the news of WhatsApp's acquisition was first exposed, no one was able to find out who did it. This was obviously a time bomb. He wanted to come to New York to meet with the public relations team and might have encountered an unexpected situation. He tried to take the opportunity to lure out his opponents at one time.

But he didn't have a brain as smart as a demon, and he really couldn't guess that his opponent was trying to kill him. The two bullets that Bang Bang received were the best proof of that.

At the same time, Yan Wenhua also got the "Facebook commercial espionage card" in this way. He asked the M&A team to rent a cruise ship to go out to sea and sign a contract, and the reason for digging out commercial spies was all for the purpose of maintaining confidentiality and finding out how many competitors there were, both openly and secretly.

However, Zhou Fenglan and Yu Tong took over and forced the Wushuang to play. By mistake, they turned defense into offense. There was no explanation at all. They just swept through the opponents without caring about them...

From the perspective of this pair of "good girlfriends", Xie Jingxing deliberately took risks to take advantage of their feelings. If he does this again when he returns to China to compete with Alibaba next time, neither of them will come forward.

As the ultimate beneficiary, Xie Jingxing was unable to give an explanation to Yu Tong's question. Apart from a "maybe", anything else he said seemed like an excuse.

"It's reasonable for Yan Wenhua to pity me. Women are more rational than each other. Life is unbearable like this." He sighed with a sour feeling in his heart.

Yu Tong couldn't help but chuckle, stopped his wheelchair and massaged his shoulders: "But irrational women can only become your collection, right?"

"...You know, I have lacked maternal love since I was a child. I like smart and rational girls the most."

Xie Jingxing frowned, feeling something was wrong, and said anything with a flattering face: "Brainless collections are just a hobby, you are my final destination... Hey... Hey, don't go..."

Yu Tong turned on the brakes of his wheelchair, looked up, folded his hands and walked forward, leaving only the back of his head exposed.

The bodyguards and insurance company representatives who followed the two men remembered that they were sweating profusely, especially the latter. They were more active than Zhou Fenglan and Yu Tong in finding out which bastard sent the gunman.

Xie Jingxing's customized personal accident insurance policy is worth several times his weight in gold. This money can organize 5,000 AK scouts in the Middle East and shoot the killer 10,000 times.

"Come, come here by yourself." Yu Tong walked twenty steps, stopped, turned around and hooked his finger.

Xie Jingxing sighed. This is how rehabilitation training works.

Fortunately, he was not addicted to games and animation when he was a child. He had dabbled in various sports such as horse riding, archery, diving and parachuting. His physical fitness was pretty good. He could grit his teeth and barely stand up from the wheelchair, moving his trembling steps, slowly and firmly towards Yu Tong.

Xie Jingxing's steps became slower and slower, his breathing became deeper and deeper, but he never stopped.

Yu Tong looked at him silently, with a smile on her lips. In the world she lived in, there was a very absurd fact - lust was an advantage. Lust proved that one was healthy and had no bad habits. Lust proved that one had normal sexual orientation and normal thinking. Lust could also prove that one had weaknesses...

In short, Xie Jingxing, who was destined to have no chance with Zhou Fenglan, was her best candidate for husband.

From now on, she will be the one planting the tree. Thank you, my good friend.

Yu Tong said this to herself in her heart, and the smile on her pretty face became brighter and brighter as she said, "In your will from now on, not a single penny of my things can be missing!"

"Actually, I have no objection to the three of us living together in this family."

"You're so beautiful, can you serve me with your current status?"

"Don't help me, I can still walk back!" Xie Jingxing said in a sonorous and powerful voice.

At the age of 22, when he eats at 12 o'clock and gets hungry at 12:30, he has the capital to be greedy for all the people and things he wants. …………

With Yu Tong carefully guiding the rehabilitation training, a few days passed in a flash.

The merger and acquisition case also came to an end on Thursday, August 8st.

Xie Jingxing changed out of his hospital gown and put on a full set of black suit with a lapel and three-joint Oxford shoes, and a platinum diamond crown brooch on his chest. Looking in the mirror, he fastened the cross cufflinks of the Knights Templar's Eastern Expedition on his sleeves, which symbolized courage and conquest, and raised his chin slightly and asked, "Do I look handsome?"

"Handsome, come and sit in the wheelchair." Zhou Fenglan said perfunctorily without any emotion.

Xie Jing Xing shrugged: "Actually, I can walk by myself."

"Can you walk to Washington?" Zhou Fenglan raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Xie Jingxing was speechless and sat silently in the wheelchair. The Forsan-WhatsApp merger case passed the review of the American Overseas Countries Committee and was officially completed. A supplementary agreement had to be signed today.

Pony Ma, Bezos, Koum and Goetz came to New York in person to take care of him, but he insisted on signing the contract at the public relations company in Washington.

Zhou Fenglan and Xie Jingxing haven't officially broken up yet, so she didn't want Yu Tong to replace her in an occasion like today. She had to take leave to push the wheelchair and blame the little brat for being pretentious and making a fuss about signing a supplementary agreement.

Pushing the wheelchair out of the ward, the corridor was filled with representatives from all parties who had been waiting for a long time. They were all dressed in suits and looked very energetic. The scene was inexplicably quiet.

Xie Jing Xing pulled the corner of his mouth and nodded slightly: "I really want to congratulate you all for winning, but I didn't prepare a speech. I don't know what I will say to the reporters after signing the supplementary agreement, so please allow me to save this sentence for later."

"As you wish, sir." The signing representative from Microsoft bowed flatteringly towards the crown brooch on his chest.

There were friendly laughter and applause from the crowd. Zhou Fenglan suppressed the upward smile and pushed his wheelchair ahead.

Everyone followed him out of the hospital. The calm and restrained black convoy drove towards Washington like a long dragon. Reporters on both sides of the driveway kept pressing the shutter of their cameras to record the conclusion of the largest merger and acquisition case in the history of China and the Internet industry.

K Street in Washington, like Sand Hill Street in Silicon Valley, brings together the essence of the entire industry.

This street connects Capitol Hill and the White House. Countless political lobbyists walk from one end to the other to open up the most powerful "Road to Champions" in the United States. There are red lights, yellow lights, and green lights on this street. The most common one is the yellow light and the long and agonizing wait.

But today, the black car fleet had a smooth journey with green lights all the way.

"Welcome."

The chairman of Akin Gump Strauss, one of the largest lobbying firms in the United States, is a very kind-looking middle-aged white woman who stood at the door of the office to greet us enthusiastically.

Xie Jingxing shook hands with her: "In fact, we should have met a long time ago."

“Maybe we should meet more often in the future,” Kim Coopersmith said with a smile.

"of course."

Xie Jingxing looked at Xiao Ma Ge and Bezos standing beside her: "This is why I chose this place for the press conference and the supplementary signing ceremony. We will be frequent visitors to this street in the future."

I will walk into America again and again from here, he secretly completed the second half of the sentence in his heart.

"You're very welcome." Kim Coopersmith leaned over and hugged him.

Xie Jingxing, who was about to stand up and walk into the office, sat back in his wheelchair awkwardly. Bezos' eyebrows twitched and he was having a hard time holding back his laughter.

This guy is exactly the same as the image described by Bill Gates, proud, showy and a person who cares about face. He actually wore a dark black suit in such an occasion. He is really something.

"Then let's sign the supplementary agreement. Grapefruit Capital (USA) will obtain 4% + 3%, totaling 7% of the shares, Tencent will get 51%, Microsoft and Apple will each get 13.5%, and Amazon will get 15%." Bezos thought to himself and took the initiative to propose getting down to business.

He had other things to do, and he took time out today just to talk to Pony Ma in person. It was said that Tencent was going to have a fierce fight with Alibaba in the Chinese market, which was of great experimental significance to Amazon.

The supplementary agreement was finalized long ago, with Jan Koum as chairman, Xie Jingxing and Bezos personally serving as directors, and the three Tencent companies all headed by second-in-command figures such as Martin Lau.

The merger was ultimately paid for in the form of equity + a small amount of cash. Tencent paid nearly $10 billion, almost one-tenth of its market value, which was a huge loss.

However, it has also become the biggest beneficiary. According to the conventional M&A method, Pony Ma would not be able to come up with 23.5 billion US dollars to break WhatsApp's legs.

"Oh no, it's $265 billion now. We won."

After the signing ceremony, Xie Jingxing declared victory in front of the reporters and left in a wheelchair.

It looks a bit funny but no one can laugh. This 22-year-old yellow-skinned man led the creation of the bloodiest tragedy in the US Internet industry this year.

Facebook, which has been deeply affected by the negative impact of "PRISM", has seen its market value fall by 23% from late last month to today's intraday trading, with $ billion evaporating out of thin air; in contrast, the share prices of Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, and Tencent have all risen to varying degrees.

That's why he said the deal was $265 billion.

The Wall Street Journal, the most authoritative and serious financial newspaper in the United States, made this guy the front-page headline today, using a very exaggerated word to describe him - Fancy, imaginative, expensive, luxurious, and pretentious.

This deal goes beyond the public's perception of foreign capital. Even the last time Sony invaded Hollywood and put a kimono on the Statue of Liberty, the deal was not as strong as this.
