"Tsk tsk... It's rare for Mr. Lu to be reduced to a green leaf to accompany the red flowers. Doesn't that feel very uncomfortable?"
Liu Qing shook the glass of champagne and walked slowly over with a smile in her eyes. She still had the tall European and American man from last time on her arm. His name seemed to be Ross, and he was the president of Goldman Sachs China.
Bailong Motors was able to achieve a valuation of 100 billion, and the other party was indispensable, but he just didn't have the chance, otherwise Lu Beifeng would have wanted to send him a banner to show his gratitude.
"Aunt Liu, why are you everywhere?"
When Lu Beifeng heard the noise, he turned to look at her, with a joking look on his face and said, "You must be following me, right? If someone knew about this, they would think that my sexual interest has changed recently."
"What do you call me? Auntie!"
The corners of Liu Qing's eyes twitched, and she couldn't hear Lu Beifeng's strong tone, but the emphasis was on the word 'sex'.
When I graduated from college and joined Goldman Sachs in investing, I have been dealing with older people for these years, and there are almost no peers of my own age.
So she still feels that she is very young, but one day she will be called aunt?
Still such a big man.
It's hard to accept it.
Lu Beifeng smiled and joked: "This is not the most basic courtesy. Is there something wrong with it?"
Liu Qing was born in her 70s and was almost seventeen years older than him. At her age, she could be a mother to any of her classmates who studied abroad and gave her a little help.
It's really not certain. Hidden marriages in wealthy circles and the raising of a lot of illegitimate children will only be more exciting and more bloody than the feuds between wealthy families in movies and TV series.
"Liu Qing does not deserve Mr. Lu's courtesy."
Liu Qing forced her smile, and she almost squeezed out these words through gritted teeth.
Araus coughed slightly to remind the other party not to forget the purpose of their trip.
Liu Qing nodded slightly, took a few sips of champagne, calmed down the anger in her heart, and did not forget the purpose of her trip: "Mr. Lu, your Dixing Investment is also interested in Ant Financial's Series C financing?"
Lu Beifeng glanced at her with a bright smile, but it gave people a very fake feeling: "23 billion US dollars in financing, a carnival feast for domestic and foreign financial institutions, who is not interested?
By the way, how much do you, Goldman Sachs, plan to buy?”
Liu Qing sneered and said: "Everyone knows that Mr. Lu has great connections and his domestic reputation is unmatched. Now that things have happened, why bother pretending to be confused..."
These words made Lu Beifeng really confused. He frowned and said, "Mr. Liu has something to say, but it's okay to say it. Do you think I am someone who can pretend to be confused? Or, do you deserve to let me pretend to be confused?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry for being so direct in my words, but I mean the same thing even if my words are rough and unreasonable."
Anger flashed in Liu Qing's eyes, and Alaus on the side gently pressed her shoulder, warning her not to act impulsively and to let him meet Lu Beifeng.
With a friendly smile on his face, Araus spoke in broken Chinese: "Mr. Lu, Miss Liu Qing didn't mean that. How about we waste a little bit of your precious time and go talk to the side?"
Last time he suffered the disadvantage of not being able to understand Chinese.
So this time I wore a headset, and on the other end was a professional bilingual translator, translating in real time. I ensured that I would not be trusted by Lu Beifeng without knowing anything like last time.
Lu Beifeng was surprised and couldn't help but clapped his hands and praised: "Mr. Ah, you are good at learning Chinese, and your attitude is very good. If you want to do business with Chinese people, you must first know Chinese so as not to suffer big losses."
"Mr. Lu, you're welcome."
Alaus smiled politely and waved to invite Lu Beifeng to come aside to discuss important matters.
Lu Beifeng passed by Liu Qing and said calmly: "Aunt Liu, learn more in the future. No wonder someone else can be your boss. If you had one-tenth of the other person's efforts, you wouldn't be in the situation you are in today."
Liu Qing suddenly opened her eyes wide, and for a moment, her lungs were about to explode. Before she joined Didi, she had been the president of Goldman Sachs China.
At that time, Lu Beifeng didn't know which black factory he was working in to make a living.
A carrot and a pit,
Since she left her position as president of Goldman Sachs, her original position has been taken by Araoz.
It turned out that she was the president of Didi, a multi-billion dollar company that was about to go public, and the most powerful person in the company.
However, all her years of hard work were in vain because of Lu Beifeng.
He can only work as a handyman for his former subordinates, silently waiting for the opportunity to rise again.
If she could complete this mission, she might be able to regain the attention of the headquarters. Liu Qing hurriedly followed Lu Beifeng and Alaos, determined that no matter what Lu Beifeng said, it would not affect her mood.
The three of them walked to a small corner where no one was paying attention. There were people chatting and chatting everywhere at the financing reception. It was not easy to find a relatively quiet place.
Lu Beifeng heard from Alaos that this time Ant Financial took out 10% of its shares for financing, involving an amount of up to US$23 billion.
Although the amount of financing is so huge and unprecedented, it has to be said that those financial institutions at home and abroad are really rich.
US$23 billion is still in short supply.
Ant Financial has launched Series C financing and will begin preparations for an IPO next step.
When a company goes public, it is easy to achieve 30 or 40 percentage points. Now entering the market is equivalent to a guaranteed profit.
Goldman Sachs originally invested in Ant Financial’s Series C round of financing, accounting for 2%, or US$4.6 billion.
But a few days ago, Hao Duandui was suddenly informed that the 2% shares they were supposed to have were only left with 0.5%.
Alaus and Liu Qing finally found out after inquiring through many channels.
The 1.5% shares deducted from their hands were specially prepared by Jack for Lu Beifeng.
This is the tacit consent of many investors.
After all, he is a dead Taoist friend, but he is a poor Taoist who is not dead.
Lu Beifeng's reputation in the financial market is well known, and his joining is the icing on the cake.
If there is more publicity, perhaps Ant Financial's share price will exceed US$300 billion on the day of listing.
Goldman Sachs also remembered that they had a grudge before, so Liu Qing had reason to believe that Lu Beifeng was behind it.
When Lu Beifeng learned the whole story, his expression was as usual, and he was already cursing in his heart.
3.45 billion US dollars, nearly 22.4 billion soft sister coins.
Lao Ma really thinks highly of him.
If Ant Financial fails to go public, more than 20 billion yuan will not be wasted. But the lock-up period of half a year is equivalent to doing nothing for more than half a year and even losing interest.
Lu Beifeng slowly raised Erlang's legs, with an expression on his face that seemed to be a smile but not a smile: "So? Mr. Araus."
Alaos pondered for a moment and said: "Mr. Lu, we at Goldman Sachs are willing to pay a 10% premium to acquire your share of Ant Financial's financing today, no matter how much it is."
"Tsk, tsk, making 334 million US dollars in one flip seems to be quite a lot. Mr. Araus, please let me think about it first."
Lu Beifeng was speaking, but his eyes were subconsciously looking at Liu Qing, as if he was hinting at the other person.
He had planned to come here to make soy sauce from the beginning, and he had already thought about it before he came, and he would almost leave when the time came.
I just didn't expect that someone would buy Ant Financial's shares at a 10% premium. It was really an unexpected surprise.
It's just that Araus is not familiar with him, and Lu Beifeng likes to get familiar with him, and he prefers to cheat Liu Qing again.
The whole family is loyal and worthy of this special treatment.
His eyes have been sent out, and he doesn't know if the other party can accept it.
