Chapter 12 Seize the Future
…
The breakfast on the farm was simple bread with milk. Guo Shouyun finished it in less than half an hour.
“Bruce, I spoke to old York. He was here at 9:30 this morning.”
“Got it, Uncle Blair!”
“Jingle Bell…!”
Just then, his cell phone rang.
Looking at the caller ID, Guo Shouyun was in high spirits, wiped his hands quickly, and pressed the answer button.
“Bruce, good morning!”
“Good morning, Senior Peppa!”
“I have discussed the investment with the rest of the board.”
“Really! Is it time for Senior Peppa to tell me the good news?”
“Hehe, at two o’clock this afternoon, I’ll be waiting for you in the office, remember to bring a lawyer!”
“no problem!”
After hanging up the phone, Guo Shouyun couldn’t hold back his excitement any longer, and clenched his fist and waved it forcefully in the air a few times. As long as everything goes well this afternoon, he will get a 40% stake in this Internet search giant. Even if he will reduce his holdings later when it goes public, fifteen years later, it will still be a super mega-equity worth more than $300 billion. wealth.
300 billion US dollars, enough for dozens of lifetimes!
“Bruce, did you take the wrong medicine?”
Matta Lincoln, stunned by his bizarre actions, couldn’t help but complain.
Not having time to pay attention to the surprised expressions of the Lincoln family, he grabbed the coat on the table, and Guo Shouyun ran out non-stop. Although it was five or six hours before two o’clock in the afternoon, he could no longer control his urgency.
“Catherine, from now on, you are the CEO of Guo’s Business Group. I entrust you with the full responsibility for the negotiation of the acquisition of York Farm this morning. You can control the specific purchase price, but I only ask that the time for the payment of funds will be released. After two months, we are willing to pay no more than $300,000 in royalties for this!”
When he was about to run out of the house, Guo Shouyun remembered what he had promised this morning, and hurriedly turned around and explained.
“Okay, I got it!”
Seeing her nodding in agreement, Guo Shouyun happily ran out of the house.
“Uncle Blair, Aunt Mary, I’ll see you later when I have time!”
More and more distant voices entered the room through the open door.
“Bruce what happened?”
The Lincoln couple, who had just recovered, looked at Guo Shouyun’s retreating back and couldn’t help but ask.
“It seems that this guy is going to negotiate a big deal!”
Matta Lincoln rubbed his chin, and after speaking with great interest, he turned his eyes to Catherine on the side.
“Bruce gave you the management of the farm?”
“Um!”
Catherine, who was elegantly eating breakfast, nodded.
“Together with the fresh food store?”
“That’s right!”
“Tsk tsk, this guy Bruce is really bold.”
“What, do you think I can’t manage the business of the farm and fresh store?”
Looking at his sister’s cold eyes and recalling the unpleasant experience in his childhood, Mata quickly shook his head and sneered: “How could it be, I was just about to say that apart from being bold, Bruce’s decision was really wise.”
“Count you acquainted!”
Seeing that Katherine’s attention was shifted back to the dinner plate, Matta Lincoln, who felt that he had survived the disaster, was secretly relieved.
…
“A lawyer Davis?”
On the way back to Mountain View, Guo Shouyun dialed the mobile phone of George Davis, a top commercial lawyer from Baker & McKenzie International Law Firm, whom he was familiar with.
“Mr. Guo, is that you?”
“It’s me! I wonder if you have time around two o’clock this afternoon?”
“Two o’clock this afternoon?”
“Yes!”
“I’ll check the schedule first!”
“OK!”
Moments later, an affirmative answer came over the phone.
“Have time!”
“Very good, lawyer Davis, I have a business negotiation at 2 o’clock in the afternoon. I hope you can attend as my lawyer.”
“Okay, where is the location?”
“No. 2500, Xinghai Park, Mountain View, give me a call 5 minutes before you arrive at the destination, and we will go up together after meeting.”
“Got it! It’s 2500 Xinghai Park, Mountain View, at two o’clock this afternoon. Are the time and address correct?”
“That’s right!”
“I remembered. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go and prepare first.”
“Okay, Lawyer Davis, see you in the afternoon!”
“See you in the afternoon!”
After hanging up the phone, Guo Shouyun sighed.
While he was studying economics at Stanford, he also learned the details of business contract formulation, but this negotiation with Google was too important. Guo Shouyun didn’t want to make any mistakes in the most important places. Therefore, an experienced business lawyer is a must.
Quickly returned to the LinkedIn office in Mountain View. Just sitting down and thinking about the negotiations with Google in the afternoon, there was a knock on the office door.
“Come in!”
“Squeak!”
With the slight rubbing sound, her hair is pulled high, the upper body is a Chanel white ladies suit, the lower body is a black dress and flesh-colored stockings, and a pair of ‘Roger Vivia’ black half-high-heeled square-buckle shoes is under her feet. She is over 180 cm tall and has an outstanding demeanor. , the beautiful Wendy Solo pushed the door and walked in.
Seeing her was delightful, Guo Shouyun realized that he was now a secretary too.
“Boss, I will arrange your work schedule for you in the future!”
Guo Shouyun nodded.
“Don’t worry about anything else, you can do two things for me first.”
“Please ask the boss.”
“Rent me a house nearby. It doesn’t need to be too big or too luxurious. As long as the surrounding environment is better and quieter!”
Although Mountain View is not far from Stanford, it is not too close. It takes more than an hour each time he drives back and forth. Guo Shouyun, who needs time to develop now, is obviously not willing to waste more than an hour on the road.
“Understood, do you have anything else? Like decoration style?”
Looking at the serious expression on the face of the beautiful woman in front of her, Guo Shouyun thought about it.
“Modern simplicity is fine, not too complicated!”
Guo Shouyun didn’t know how long he would live in the temporarily rented house. Of course it doesn’t take much thought.
“The second thing, you will investigate the development of the US game industry for me, as well as the detailed information of the major game companies, and then write a detailed report to me.”
Wendy frowned, “How long do I have to prepare this investigation report?”
“One month!”
Hearing this, Wendy breathed a sigh of relief, a month is long enough.
“Just those two things. If you’re okay next time, get out and do it!”
Guo Shouyun waved his hand.
Looking at the man working at the desk, Wendy Solo frowned slightly, then turned around and walked out.
Guo Shouyun has no time to care about other people’s thoughts now. According to the development plan he has set for himself, the next two months will be the first critical period of his career development, and there can be no mistakes in any link. Therefore, after getting a glimpse of Google’s investment, about the writing of “Fifty Shades of Grey” and “Pirates of the Caribbean”, UU read www. uukanshu.com He also began to hurry.
Wendy ordered a takeaway at noon to deal with after lunch. Guo Shouyun saw that it was almost time, so he turned off the computer, picked up the file bag, pushed the door and walked out.
“boss…!”
“You don’t have to follow me, just remember to complete the task I gave you! Call me if you have anything, that’s all!”
When the words fell, Guo Shouyun didn’t give Wendy Solo any chance to refute, and turned around and left the LinkedIn office.
Looking at the back of him leaving in a hurry, Wendy Solo wondered if there was something wrong with her charm? You must know that when she first came, she planned that if this guy wanted to eat her tofu as the boss, he would give him a hard lesson, make him look ugly in front of everyone, and then resign .
“But that’s fine, I don’t have to change jobs all the time!”
Thinking of this, Wendy Solo ignored the ‘admiration’ and ‘longing’ eyes around her and returned to her desk.
…
Guo Shouyun drove downstairs to Google and waited for about five minutes when George Davis appeared in front of him.
“Lawyer Davis!”
“Mr. Guo, am I not late?”
“No, the time is just right!”
“Then let’s go up!”
“Okay! Let’s go!”
After being polite, the two shook hands and walked towards the Google office together. On the way, Guo Shouyun briefly explained the content of the negotiation to George Davis.
George Davis, who personally handled the formation of the Guo family trust, was surprised that Guo Shouyun was able to come up with a huge sum of 80 million US dollars to invest in Google. However, the relationship between professional ethics is not something he should care about, and he will not interfere.
