Vol 2 Chapter 762 It’s cold in the high places

Chapter seven hundred and sixty-two the heights are too cold

…

“…In contrast, MySpace (Juyou.com), which was joined by Tim George, has only about 50 million registered users, and its influence is limited to a few English-speaking countries such as the United States. Ruby spreads its influence to the world like Ruby. Therefore, even if Tim George leaves with a large number of Ruby’s old employees, it will not shake Ruby’s position on the Internet, especially in the social field. And the real soul of Ruby is Bruce Kwok, as long as he’s there, the future of the ruby ​​doesn’t need any doubts.”

Old Morgan nodded, “It seems that you are very confident in rubies.”

“Of course! … The only thing I regret now is that I didn’t take some more original shares!”

“Harvey, is there no chance now?”

Frederick asked suddenly. Compared with his old-fashioned father, he is still very accepting of the high-tech Internet, and he is optimistic about its future.

“No chance! Both Google and Ruby have already received financing. With their current development, there will not be another round of financing before going public. Moreover, whether it is Bruce Guo, or Blackstone, Carlyle Group Neither want to see their shares diluted again.”

“Isn’t it possible even if we support the ‘Phoenix-Merrill Lynch merger’ as a condition?”

“Frederick, it looks like you’re interested in the Internet?” Harvey asked.

“The development of the Internet in recent years and its impact on the real economy are obvious to all. If I have the opportunity, I would like to give it a try!”

Harvey has long since withdrawn from the competition for the head of the Morgan family, so the relationship between him and Frederick, the eldest brother, is quite harmonious.

After a brief thought, Harvey shook his head.

“Bruce Guo is not someone who will back down easily. Even if we offered ‘support for the merger of Merrill Lynch and Phoenix’, he would not agree. Moreover, I have met many top American consortiums and family representatives these days. .Even without us, the remaining people are enough to help Bruce Guo complete the merger of Phoenix and Merrill, as long as he is willing to take the original shares of the new company!”

“Specifically, who are the invited consortiums?”

Old Morgan was not very interested in the Internet, and this time he came here for the original shares of Phoenix Merrill Lynch.

“In addition to us and the Roosevelt family, the Bush family, the Kennedy family, Goldman Sachs, RBS, The Carlyle, Blackstone, KKR, Morgan Stanley and Bain Capital.”

“So much? Does Bruce Guo plan to hand over the entire Phoenix Merrill?” Frederick asked in surprise.

Harvey shrugged. “Who knows, maybe he just wants to make Phoenix Bank bigger. . . . I can’t guess his plan anyway.”

Soon, the two focused their attention on Old Morgan. Compared with the young ones, their father, who has worked hard for half his life in an intriguing shopping mall, is undoubtedly better able to understand human nature.

“Maybe he’s really just looking for power!”

Old Morgan was also somewhat confused about Guo Shouyun’s plans. It took so much effort to promote the merger of Phoenix and Merrill, and handing over the equity to people was really not the style he showed in the past.

You know, no matter whether it is Ruby or Unocal, including Matrix and Pacific Energy, there is no one that he absolutely controls. The only exception is Google, but Guo Shouyun did not have a controlling stake in Google at the beginning.

“Dong dong…!”

There was a sudden knock on the door.

After getting permission, a young man in a black suit pushed the door and walked in.

“Hello, Mr. Morgan, I’m Paul Tedder from Mr. Guo’s secretariat!” The young man said dignifiedly.

“Hello, does your boss have any news to convey?”

“Yes! The boss asked me to inform you that tomorrow morning at nine o’clock, he will hold a financing negotiation meeting for Phoenix Merrill Lynch in the conference room! Please be there on time, Mr. Morgan.”

“do you have anything else?”

“there is none left!”

After nodding clearly, Old Morgan pondered for a while, “Apart from us, what other representatives will be attending the meeting tomorrow?”

“I’m not very clear about this, I’m only responsible for notifying Mr. Morgan!”

“thanks”

Seeing that his father had finished asking, Frederick took two hundred dollars and sent Paul Tedder away.

“It seems that Bruce Guo is very cautious and doesn’t give us too many opportunities for private communication at all.”

Old Morgan nodded, “It all depends on tomorrow’s meeting!”

…

“Why haven’t you gone home yet?”

Hearing the footsteps behind him, Guo Shouyun looked back and asked.

“Catherine said that she has an emergency meeting at night and will go back later. Nan Nan is also not at home. It doesn’t make sense for me to go back alone, so I came to find you.”

With that said, Liu Zhixing sat down on the seat next to him.

The location where the two of them are now is the highest place among the three courtyards of the Hanshan Bieyuan. Sitting here can not only overlook the entire Hanshan Bieyuan, but also overlook the city of San Francisco in the distance. The scenery is beautiful, but the weather at the end of March is still a little cold. Sitting on the roof, I felt a little shivering from the wind!

Guo Shouyun nodded and said nothing.

“Still worried about tomorrow’s meeting?” Liu Zhixing continued.

“It’s not worth worrying about! The decision has been made in advance, and the rest is just implementation. Moreover, with the help of these people, the merger of Phoenix and Merrill will probably not encounter difficulties again.”

“If that’s the case, why are you sitting here? How good is it to go home early with Wendy and the children?”

“I’ll go back after sitting for a while. However, now I prefer to be quiet here and give myself a relaxing space by the way!”

Liu Zhixing nodded clearly and sighed, “It’s too cold to be at a high place!”

“Whenever this happens, I will doubt whether it’s worth my effort to develop so many large enterprises, and even sacrificing time with my family.” Guo Shouyun said suddenly.

“Nothing is worth it or not. When you started this road, you couldn’t help yourself!”

Guo Shouyun nodded with a wry smile.

“The future of hundreds of thousands of people is on my shoulders, and the funds of hundreds of billions of dollars are in my hands. Even if I want to retreat, there is no way out. But after a long time, I will be tired! But the most tired is , even if you are very tired, you still have to pretend to be strong in front of outsiders, even your own wife!”

“Who can tell the difference between gain and loss. Billionaires suffer from billionaires, the middle class suffers from middle class, ordinary people suffer from different people, no matter which class has its own difficulties. So Buddha Said: All sentient beings are suffering, the only way is to overcome it! Sometimes letting go of attachments will make you feel much better!”

Guo Shouyun nodded slowly, then turned his head and smiled and said, “When did you start studying Buddhism?”

“Before you met me! I watched it for a while at the darkest and lowest point in my life.”

Guo Shouyun understood.

“Bruce, the classics of the sages contain countless wisdom. Sometimes reading more can help you relieve the stress after work burnout!”

“By your kind words, I will read more in the future!”

When the words fell, he stood up, “Okay, after chatting with you, I have almost vented my negative emotions. Let’s go, there will be a ‘war’ waiting for us tomorrow!”

Liu Zhixing nodded and said with a smile, “It’s rare to see that you are also feeling down, so I’m going to watch it for a while. I didn’t expect it to end so soon.”

“You are really a bad friend, you actually see me joking!”

“Who made you the famous Bruce Guo!”

The two laughed and left the roof!

One is divided into two, and the life after returning home is different!

The night was getting darker, and along with the north wind, it was dispersed by the rising sun. Guo Shouyun had breakfast, looked at a few children, said goodbye to Wendy, and returned to the Hanshan Courtyard again.

“Boss, all the materials you want are ready!” Wang Jue said.

Guo Shouyun nodded and looked at the time!

“It’s almost there, let’s go!”

“Yes!”

…

The conference room in the front yard of Hanshan Bieyuan!

Around the large oval conference table, representatives of various consortiums were seated!

“The Morgan family, the Roosevelt family, the Bush family, the Kennedy family, Goldman Sachs, Royal Bank of Scotland, KKR, Morgan Stanley, Bain Capital, Bear Stearns, plus we Blackstone and you Carlyle, tsk tsk, Bruce got one Amazing lineup!”

Blackstone Group CEO Steve Schwarzman laughed.

“More than that, I’m more curious about how Bruce pulled Goldman Sachs and Bear Stearns in? You know they were Schiff and Citi in the first place.”

Carlyle Group CEO David Rubinstein asked after looking over the faces of Goldman Sachs CEO Blank Fein and Bear Stearns President and COO Charles Prince.

“Of course, it is the rich benefits represented by the original shares of the new company after the merger of Phoenix and Merrill! Compared with the profits that are still uncertain after the fight with Bruce~www.readmtl.com~ Of course, it is in front of you. The Phoenix Merrill I saw was even more moving. If it were me, I would make the same choice as them.”

David Rubinstein nodded.

“When the news is released, I’m afraid that Schiff, Citigroup, and ING Group will all look wonderful!”

“Of course! It’s a pity that I didn’t have the chance to see it!” Steve Schwartzman nodded in agreement.

“How much are you Blackstone going to take this time?” David Rubinstein changed the subject.

Glancing at him, “What about you Carlyle, how many original shares of Phoenix Merrill are you going to swallow?”

“The combined market value of Phoenix Merrill is over $120 billion, 1% is 1.2 billion! With Carlyle’s capital, we can’t get much!”

“Our Blackstone is the same! The value of Phoenix Merrill is too high. Besides, I don’t know what conditions Bruce Guo has!”

“I think it must be one of the conditions to help Phoenix Merrill merge smoothly!”

“certainly!”

Just as Steve Schwarzman nodded, the door was pushed open by Guo Shouyun from outside. His arrival instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the room. …
