The richest man went on a blind date, and his 19-year-old daughter wanted to support me

"I don't understand. What's the point of buying it?"

Chu Hang said: "There is no place to put it in my house."

"You can collect it. Maybe it will appreciate in value in the future, so it can be considered an investment. Art investment is very popular now. Don't you Orientals like it? In fact, several large exchanges have records of auctions by Oriental tycoons. The transaction amounts have shocked the world."

That was done by others and has nothing to do with me.

Chu Hang complained in his heart, Taiwanese, Hong Kong people, and Japanese people, there is nothing he can do about it, everyone has made money in recent years, and with money in hand, they have more hobbies.

Then antique paintings became popular.

Chu Hang didn't go to auctions specifically, and he bid for other purposes. He didn't have any special hobbies for collecting, but he could consider it.

As his wealth grows faster and faster, he can have some hobbies. But if he wants to buy oil paintings, they should be works by masters. He is asked to pay for a painting that looks like shit. Isn't that crazy?

Shirley talked to a foreigner for a while, and when the man left, Shirley said, "President Sargeras wants to see you, and he's waiting for you to come over. You haven't come over to say hello, which makes them a little dissatisfied!"

Chu Hang glanced over there, turned around and left, and Xie Qingyi hurriedly followed him. The two of them didn't even look at the group of people over there whose faces had turned dark.

Shirley asked quickly, "What's wrong?"

Chu Hang said: "I am not interested in talking to people who don't know their place. Let's go back to the hotel. The people from Goldman Sachs will treat me to dinner tonight."

"Huh? You don't plan to talk to Guofu Group?"

Chu Hang laughed and said, "You think I came to the exhibition because I asked them for something, but just now I remembered that they also asked me for something. In that case, I will wait for them to come to me!"

"Ok?"

Chu Hang smiled and said, "Don't ask me because I won't tell you. You are from Citibank. I will let you know when you decide to work for me."

Chu Hang just figured it out. The other party's purpose was the same as his. He wanted to see the other party, but the other party also wanted to see him.

Because Alibaba is going to be listed in North America and will be going on an IPO roadshow, Guofu Group also has business in this area.

The listing of a representative Internet company in the East has a huge impact, and it contains opportunities for people to get rich overnight. As a shareholder of Alibaba, Chu Hang appeared on Wall Street at this time.

All local financial institutions know that it must be related to Alibaba's listing, and everyone wants to get a piece of the pie.

But they didn't have the chance. Goldman Sachs entered the market too early and regarded Alibaba's IPO business as a piece of cake.

Other companies can only eat some scraps, but who doesn't want to eat meat? Thinking clearly, Chu Hang looked down on Guofu Group.

ill!

After Shirley got in the car, she figured it out. "Chu, are you here to be in charge of the negotiations for Alibaba's listing? Goldman Sachs? Does Citibank have a chance? Chu..."

"What is your valuation of Alibaba?" Chu Hang asked with a smile.

Shirley thought for a moment: "Chu, is this a secret?

"Aren't we friends? Maybe I will consider letting you, Citi, get involved?" Chu Hang said with a smile.

He couldn't just talk to Goldman Sachs on his own, he needed to bring in a competitor to make Goldman Sachs feel nervous.

Without competitors, Goldman Sachs has a huge advantage.

The original reservation was with Guofu Group, but Chu Hang was disgusted by the other party's attitude. They want to make money for you and beg you for help. Are you sick?

Citigroup is also good, a long-established financial group with complex backstage relationships that can lead directly to the White House. The industry of the former first family of North America should not be underestimated.

This is a good partner.

Shirley smiled bitterly and said, "I'll only say this once, our valuation is eight billion dollars."

"It's higher than Goldman Sachs. I think we can talk about it." Chu Hang said!

Goldman Sachs' valuation of Alibaba is only US$5 billion, which suppresses its value.

Then they could buy up stocks at a low price and sell them at a higher price. Goldman Sachs also took over the roadshow IPO business. Chu Hang felt that he had made too much money.

This partnership company is so shady.

Shirley laughed and said, "Chu, we are very interested in this business and are optimistic about Alibaba, but we have been rejected when we contacted them before. The founder Ma only seems to trust Goldman Sachs."

Chu Hang knew the reason, because Alibaba was initially invested in by Goldman Sachs, and Mr. Ma naturally trusted the company with which he had already cooperated.

But Goldman Sachs is famous for its dark side.”

"What about your commissions?"

"We will give you the most favorable treatment. Can we be responsible for the issuance? Citi has good cooperative relations with many institutions and investors. It is no worse than Goldman Sachs. We can attract investment from all over the world!"

"It seems you already have a plan!"

Shirley said: "Of course. Alibaba's IPO is a key project that Wall Street is paying attention to this year."

After figuring out the whole story, Shirley immediately understood Chu Hang's confidence. With the old hen that lays golden eggs in his hand, he really didn't need to bother with Guofu Group.

While waiting for the car to stop, they had already arrived at the restaurant. There were two foreigners standing at the door. When they saw Chu Hang, they hurried over. But when they saw Shirley beside Chu Hang, they were both stunned.

Stone and Anderson are both from Goldman Sachs. Chu Hang introduced Shirley's identity.

The two of them looked at each other.

The two had planned to confront Chu Hang in the evening and had already made a lot of contingency plans. The news from Far East was that Mr. Ma had changed his mind about Goldman Sachs's IPO. There were not many surprises in the whole project. The person in charge of Far East conveyed the news that the government on the other side seemed to intend to review Alibaba's IPO plan.

Rumor has it that the higher-ups don't want Alibaba to be listed in North America, and the Shanghai Stock Exchange is trying to get in touch with Mr. Ma.

This is to grab the meat from your plate.

Shirley and Xie Qingyi sat on the left and right of Chu Hang. Stone and Anderson said directly while waiting for the food to be served.

"Chu, does Alibaba not want to be listed in North America? We have a contract."

Chu Hang nodded: "We do have a contract, but there are some factors that we haven't considered before, right? As for the force majeure factors, we can't do anything about it. Our government has found that Alibaba's business has a great impact on people's lives, so it's normal to give it more consideration."

"Why is the Shanghai Stock Exchange in contact with Mr. Ma?

"This is normal. Alibaba is an oriental company after all. Listing in its own place will have more advantages, right? Sir? These are still uncertain. As for whether it will be listed in North America or the Shanghai Stock Exchange, it depends on everyone's efforts." Chu Hang was extremely calm.

Just because of this, the foreigners can't sit still anymore. It's not as stable as they imagined!

He was calm as an old dog at the moment, but now was just a stage of mutual communication, and the formal negotiations still had to be held at the other party's Goldman Sachs building. But he could already sense the other party's anxiety.

"I think the sincerity of cooperation is the most important. I feel that Citi's cooperation proposal is more sincere than yours."

Seeing the two people's expressions change, Chu Hang smiled and said, "Don't worry, gentlemen, I haven't decided whether to cooperate with Citibank yet. Everything depends on your sincerity. As for the contract you mentioned, Mr. Ma and I can afford the liquidated damages. Alibaba is not short of money now. It has already made a profit. Do you understand?"
