Chapter 488 This is not a good sign
An hour later, it was five minutes past three.
A few people met downstairs and set off together to 200 West Street in southern Manhattan.
The straight-line distance between Goldman Sachs and Wall Street is only 300 meters, adjacent to the Hudson River, covering an area of 11,000 square meters and 44 floors high.
Today is a Wednesday working day. People are coming and going in the building. Wilson is sitting in the lounge area of the lobby, playing with a lighter.
Suddenly, the assistant's phone rang. Wilson turned around and looked back. When he saw a familiar face, he suddenly smiled.
He walked forward quickly, spread his arms, and gave Lu Liang a heavy hug: "Lu Liang, I miss you so much."
"Kamon, you only know this. "A word?" Lu Liang endured the discomfort and quickly let go after hugging her.
The old white man had a bad body odor, so using perfume to protect his eyes was only one aspect. He also suspected that this guy was bisexual, and the look in his eyes several times revealed something abnormal.
"Didn't what I said be standard?" Wilson smiled and couldn't help but pinch Lu Liang's arm again.
"It's just too standard. It reminds me of a comedian in our country."
Lu Liang stayed away without moving, and changed the subject to introduce Liu Qing and Gao Jinhua: "These two are..."
Wilson interrupted with a smile: "Gene, and John, right? , I know them all.”
“Mr. Wilson, the last time we met was at the BRICS Summit in South Africa, right?”
Gao Jinhua smiled, finally feeling a little better. He has a sense of place, and he is somewhat famous in the international financial community.
"It's been more than three years in the blink of an eye." Wilson turned to look at Liu Qing and said with a smile: "Jean, do you still have any impressions?"
Liu Qing smiled back: "About seven years Lauter and I visited you at JPMorgan Chase before.”
“We are all good friends. Let’s go and pick you up upstairs. In the waiting room, David should have finished his meeting."
Wilson turned his attention to Lu Liang again and asked as he walked: "Aren't you planning to withdraw the Bitcoin funds?"
Through the investigation during this period, they also knew that Lu Liang had two teams, one in Tokyo and one in Magic City.
The funds in Tokyo lurked in early in the morning, and the cost price was very low. They probably wanted to hold Bitcoin for a long time.
The one in the Magic City is responsible for detonating the market this time. It probably wants to make a profit and run away. It is also the force they are most worried about.
It’s okay to make a small amount of money, but don’t smash the market.
The emerging market cannot withstand any blow.
Lu Liang smiled and said: "The market is so hot. If I leave now, I'm afraid even God will not forgive me."
"Do you really want me to leave that much?"
The smile on his face suddenly meant something.
As if to say, this matter is easy to discuss.
Wilson squinted his eyes with a smile and raised his eyebrows: "Aren't we discussing now?"
Through the bright wall of the elevator, Lu Liang saw Liu Qing's reflection, Suddenly he laughed: "Yes, we are discussing."
Liu Qing's face suddenly turned ugly. Although she didn't know what riddle they were playing, she had a bad feeling.
Several people came to the reception room on the 43rd floor. An old white man about fifty years old came belatedly. He first said hello to Liu Qing, then hugged Gao Jinhua and called him teacher.
Finally, he turned his attention to Lu Liang: "Mr. Lu, it's nice to meet you. I already know your purpose of coming."
"Promote Didi to log on to the New York Stock Exchange, complete Investment expectations are the unanimous goal of all shareholders, including Goldman Sachs.”
David Solomon set the tone with a smile on his face. The listing of Didi is inevitable and is the unanimous goal of everyone.
Liu Qing's face became more and more ugly, Gao Jinhua frowned and said quickly: "David, it is indeed time for Didi to go public, but the company's current achievements have a lot to do with Gene."
David waved his hand and said with a smile: "Gene used to work at Goldman Sachs for a long time. For a while, she has been very capable, which I believe Mr. Lu will not doubt.”
“Mr. Liu, she has always been my learning target.”
Lu Liangmian. He smiled and did not say anything bad about Liu Qing at this time, and waited peacefully for Dawei's but.
"Mr. Lu, your business landscape does not seem to have much to do with Didi. In fact, we can sit down and have a good chat."
David wanted to know what Lu Liang's motives were and what Cheng Wei had promised. If it was Liu Qing, he should be able to provide it.
Anyway, Cheng Wei's absence is of no importance. As long as Lu Liang and Liu Qing can reach a reconciliation, his sacrifice will be worth it.
He looked at Liu Qing with a smile: "Jean, why don't you make a statement first and let Mr. Lu see your sincerity."
Liu Qing gritted her teeth. After a long time, she said in a deep voice: "If this is Goldman Sachs' idea, then I have no objection."
She knew that this might be the optimal solution, but the fact that Lu Liang was still there meant that she lost, but she didn't. Lose everything.
David looked at Lu Liang with a smile. Liu Qing had already expressed her stance and now she was waiting for Lu Liang.
Wilson also laughed and echoed: "Lu, there are only eternal interests, no eternal enemies."
He has seen Didi's share structure, as long as he swallows up the shares belonging to Cheng Wei That piece of cake can completely allow Lu Liang and Liu Qing to coexist.
Lu Liang laughed dumbly and said slowly: "Mr. Solomon, if Goldman Sachs holds this attitude, there is no need for us to talk."
He has been struggling for so long for this project. After all the hard work, the odds of winning are now so great, so why should we coexist?
As long as Liu Qing is kicked out, Didi will take his shape and be squeezed as much as he wants.
Lu Liang knew very well that he was an outsider and could only control Didi by controlling Cheng Wei. Cheng Wei listened to him very much, but Liu Qing, on the other hand, agreed now, which was to feed a tiger into trouble. "Lu Liang, don't act out of emotion, Liu Qing has already made a very big concession." Gao Jinhua's face turned cold. This decision was good for everyone, and Lu Liang was a little shameless.
Lu Liang sneered, not even bothering to look at him: "Do you have the right to speak here?"
In public, maybe he would respect the title of professor. In private situations, who is he?
Gao Jinhua was so angry that David waved his hand to interrupt him, with a smile on his face: "Mr. Lu, what do you think should be the appropriate arrangement?"
Lu Liang skipped the topic and asked: "Mr. Solomon, as shareholders and directors, isn't our common goal now to help Didi complete the listing review?"
Since Goldman Sachs is on Liu Qing's side, his plan will continue as usual. , let Didi complete the review first, and then kick Liu Qing out.
“This is indeed our common goal.”
David squinted his eyes, pondered for a moment, and waved to his assistant: “George, these days, you will just follow Mr. Lu’s team, Assist Didi in submitting review materials”
George nodded, walked up to Lu Liang, stretched out his hand and said: "Hello, Mr. Lu, if you don't understand anything, you can ask me."
Lu Liang paused slightly and waved to Xu Jiawei: "You guys Let’s keep in touch. , try to complete the review as soon as possible."
Wilson sighed and said with a smile: "Everyone, it's not too early now, why don't we find a place to eat?"
"Ka. Meng, just make arrangements." Lu Liang smiled.
If we go by the lingo of diplomacy, then they exchanged views and talked about it, but they did not reach an agreement.
But it's still early, and the review will take seven working days at the earliest, during which they can continue to exchange opinions.
The red sun was setting in the west, and several people came to a very famous Italian restaurant on Wall Street next door.
A few people were divided into two tables, one for David, Liu Qing and Gao Jinhua, and one for Lu Liang and Wilson.
"Lu Liang, what are your plans next? Are you going to stay in New York and wait?" Wilson asked.
He expressed implicitly that he had not reached an agreement with Goldman Sachs and that Didi’s review journey was destined to not go smoothly.
Didi failed to submit it to the Ministry of Commerce of Dongda University for review, so it found Lu Liang to help.
Now I am afraid that I will turn against Tiangang.
Lu Liang smiled and said: "Carmon, I have to rely on you now. Have you come up with the result of the discussion?"
Wilson couldn't laugh or cry: "Let's find another time and follow him alone. Meet David.”
After all, Liu Qing is the spokesperson of Goldman Sachs. Once she is kicked out by Lu Liang, it means that Goldman Sachs’ weight will be reduced.
If we can help Goldman Sachs regain its weight, this matter is not completely out of the question.
“Which aspect is weighted?” Lu Liang asked with a calm expression.
If the amount of confidential information he possesses about Dongda University is used as a criterion for weight, then he may have no choice but to use coercion and inducement.
Wilson thought for a long time before he said: "You can understand him as a kind of market influence."
"Just like why I helped you make an appointment with David, is Because you already have weight.”
Lu Liang suddenly realized and couldn't help but smile: "You actually attach so much importance to this market?"
"Don't you pay attention to it?"
Wilson looked disgusted, and Lu Liang didn't Knowing how much money has been invested in this market, he is obviously optimistic about the future development of Bitcoin, and now he is still pretending to be confused.
"Also take it seriously."
Lu Liang laughed a few times, feeling a little guilty. He only knew that $20,000 was the top in the short term, but he didn't know the long term.
However, Wilson's attitude made him more determined to hold Bitcoin for a long time. Anyway, he didn't pay a dime for the money in Tokyo and relied on compound interest.
I won’t feel bad even if I lose money.
If I make a profit, I will use it to invest in the United States.
At the same time, at another table in the same restaurant, David was also talking to Liu Qing and Gao Jinhua.
"Jean, I hope you are mentally prepared. Lu Liang has a bargaining chip that I can't refuse." David said calmly.
Liu Qing's heart sank, remembering the conversation between Lu Liang and Su Shimin that day, and asked: "Is it Bitcoin?"
David nodded: "As long as he is willing to pay the price, we will give up on you."
Liu Qing smiled miserably, and Gao Jinhua couldn't help asking: "Is there no other way?"
Liu Qing felt that taking him would be useful, and he also felt that he would be of great use. The results are counterproductive every time.
He was like a bronze player who accidentally entered the high-end game, and was scolded by Lu Liang as his grandson, which made him feel very unhappy.
"Teacher, it's not that I don't respect you, but it's better that you don't get involved in this kind of thing in the future."
David smiled, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes. When Dongda entered the WTO, they needed The literati helped shout.
But he discovered that Gao Jinhua regarded the dividends of the times as a reflection of his own ability.
This is not a good sign.
