Rebirth of the Burning Era

Vol 2 Chapter 455: Double standard?

? After returning to the hotel, McKinsey and her husband immediately got on the phone.

Before coming this time, the couple discussed it privately, assuming that everything in China and this investor make them very satisfied, and on the premise that they are willing to accept his investment, no matter how much money the other party gives, the equity paid cannot exceed 10%. .

That is to say, when McKinsey and Liang Yifei talked about later, they actually gave the highest share they could.

No matter how hysterical Liang Yifei said, no matter how much McKinsey admired Liang Yifei, and how consistent Liang Yifei and Jeff Bezos had the idea of ​​the Internet, in the final analysis, Liang Yifei is not a world-renowned investment bank, whether it is experience, reputation, money and other factors. The help Amazon can bring to Amazon in the short term is far less than that of the world's major investment banks.

Jeff McKinsey himself is a Wall Street executive. He is not only an Internet entrepreneur. He has a completely different background from those of science and engineering men. He is very familiar with a series of financial processes such as financing, listing and publicity. If so, under normal circumstances, most American entrepreneurs will probably choose a local or global investment bank with background and strength like Yahoo's Yang Zhiyuan, rather than an individual Chinese entrepreneur.

However, although the upper limit of equity that the couple negotiated before was 10%, it did not break through. However, McKinsey finally made certain concessions in terms of price. Their previous expectation was also US$5 million, but it had to be paid in one lump sum. , and Liang Yifei can only pay half of it first, and then half of it will be invested within a year.

This method is very rare. Internet companies such as Amazon are developing very fast. Maybe after half a year, the second round of financing will show a tenfold increase in valuation. At that time, this money can only buy one-tenth of what it is now. shares.

On the other end of the phone, Jeff McKinsey said without hesitation after listening to his wife: "Money is not really a problem, dear, you have to think about it this way, even if he gives us five million at a time, don't we have a month or two? Just spent it all? Of course not, it is nothing more than a loss of some bank interest. Of course, these interest is not a small amount of money, but in general, it does not affect the overall situation. "

After speaking, he smiled and said, "I am very interested in this person. Listening to your tone, I have a good impression of him?"

"Strictly speaking, I was shocked by him today. The whole conversation and my thoughts seemed to be guided by him all the time. Looking back now, my decision today may have been a little hasty."

McKinsey said with some annoyance: "This Mr. Liang is completely different from the Chinese entrepreneur we imagined. Not only does he speak fluent English, let's put it this way, if you change the situation, tell me that he is from Wall Street. I would believe it without hesitation at the top, or the leader of a certain U.S. listed company. Even I think he has the temperament of a White House official and a university professor.”

"Dear, then I must say, you have either met the devil or God." On the other end of the phone, Jeff Beth laughed and said, "Tell me about this Chinese in detail."

McKinsey spent almost two hours on the long-distance phone call to tell her husband in detail the entire process of meeting Liang Yifei from start to finish, without missing any details, and added a lot of his own analysis and opinions.

After she finished speaking, there was silence for more than ten seconds on the other end of the phone, and then there was some noise.

"Dear?" Ms. McKinsey, in front of Jeff Bezos, was more like Mrs. Bezos. She was negotiating with the other party today. She felt that she was in a hurry and worried about her husband's blame, and said carefully; "Actually...about the company The financing decision only makes sense if you agree, I am just one of your special envoys..."

"Oh no no dear, let's keep our promises and don't change ourselves for reasons that aren't fatal. I'm getting ready for breakfast, **** it, you're not home, I've burnt the bread."

Bezuos laughed very childishly, and then said, "Your decision represents me. In addition, I think your decision is not hasty, but also very clever."

"Huh?" McKinsey was slightly taken aback, isn't this coaxing himself?

Usually family life can be coaxed, but in the company's general policy, the company's development should be the priority.

"My dear, let's not consider the future prospects of the eastern market. We are completely familiar with the western world, but we don't know much about the eastern world. Don't you think it is a very interesting thing to contact and understand the eastern world? For interesting I think it is completely cost-effective to make some investments, or to transfer interests appropriately. To understand an interesting world, you must find an interesting person as a guide, otherwise the process of understanding may be quite boring. "

On the other end of the phone, Jeff Bezos seemed to take a sip of some liquid, sucked a bit, and then continued: "As for business, there are several places worth seeing in the East, Japan's economy and politics are already mature, and opportunities are limited. Their so-called four little dragons have limited territory and population, and limited potential. Only China, everything is in the process of re-establishing order. Sooner or later, we will find a collaborator. Why can't this collaborator be him? At least Like me, he wants to explore the universe, and to put it aside, listening to you, I really have a desire to build a spaceship right away."

"Okay Jeff, put away your childishness for the time being." McKinsey rubbed his eyebrows with a headache and said, "Then give us 24 hours to think about each other. After 24 hours, if we all think about it seriously and keep calm. Come down, if we still agree with this plan, we will discuss the specific details with Mr. Liang, and then sign the agreement?"

"Okay dear..." Jeff Bezos' voice was also a little helpless.

Sun Dawei is very accurate in seeing people. The Bezos couple and Mrs. Bezos are indeed a ballast. When Mr. Bezos is more excited and aggressive, he will always be with him again and again before he makes a major decision. Think calmly.

Mr. Bezos is passionate, Mrs. Bezos is calm and composed, Mr. Bezos is creative, and Mrs. Bezos is down-to-earth.

But so far, they don't seem to have changed any important decisions.

After hanging up the phone, McKinsey yawned and leaned on the sofa a little tired.

"Aunt, this Mr. Liang is really unexpected." In the outer room of the suite, the female translator walked in wearing a silk pajamas and sat across from McKinsey, carelessly cutting off her astonishingly long thighs. The lady's style is tilted on the coffee table.

McKinsey glanced at her legs and said, "Grace, you're rude today."

"Me?" the translator, McKinsey's niece, Grace asked with wide eyes.

"You're a well-educated professional secretary, and when you were an intern on Wall Street, I thought you were polite to everyone, and even if you didn't like it, you kept your manners, but today, what's wrong with you? You shouldn't be enthusiastic about a The people who received us were so obviously unfriendly."

"Hey, I'm sitting behind you, how do you know I'm not friendly to him?" Grace asked curiously.

"Don't you think your aunt is really a comedian?!" McKinsey said angrily: "If you hadn't been unkind to him, how could he have looked back at you with those eyes several times?! Now, you're not just sitting right behind me, you can also see you out of the corner of my eye, understand?"

Coincidentally, in addition to Sun Dawei and Liang Yifei, many American friends also joked in private that Mrs. Bezos and Mrs. Bezos looked like comedians, which made Mrs. Bezos a little unhappy.

It's not that she looks down on comedians, but she doesn't think she looks alike to her husband.

Just like a rabbit, it is always unpleasant to be mistaken by others who say it is like a cat.

Anyone who knows it knows that this is a sensitive point for Mrs. Bass, but Mr. Bass is rather proud of it.

"I admit that I may have misunderstood him at first, but what he said at first was really contemptuous." Grace pouted.

"The problem is not here." McKinsey said: "Back then on Wall Street, where the most shameless, filthy, despicable and shady people gathered in the whole United States, and even the world, was even filthier than the White House, but there, you did not You didn't show any disgust towards anyone, you controlled your emotions very well, and you can clearly separate your personal feelings from your work. But what kind of mental state did you perform today?"

Grace was stunned for a moment, showing a confused look, and muttered, "Huh? It seems so."

"Perhaps your previous cognition affected you. Before you came, didn't you complain to me that a Chinese entrepreneur is worth observing?"

McKinsey said lightly: "You show disgust towards him~www.readwn.com~ Maybe it's not mainly because of his words, but subconsciously, he is not a Wall Street executive or the CEO of a US listed company, just a China's local boss, so you are using the identity of the other party to make moral judgments, which must be said to be misplaced."

"I...I..." Grace was told, her face was a little unhappy, but after a long time of me, I finally got discouraged and said, "Maybe you are right, I made some mistakes."

"I don't know what most Chinese entrepreneurs look like, but I suggest you stop underestimating this person. The only reason he makes you feel inferior to those Wall Street executives is probably because he was born in China. However, in China, there must be There will be more and more outstanding people like this.”

After McKinsey finished speaking, Grace seemed to understand something, and then suddenly felt that something was not right. She raised her head and asked suspiciously, "Aunt, why are you telling me this?!"
