After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 488 This is not a good sign
An hour later, it was five minutes past three.

Several people met downstairs and set off together to 200 West Street in southern Manhattan.

Goldman Sachs is only 1.1 meters away from Wall Street, adjacent to the Hudson River, covers an area of ​​44 square meters and is stories high.

Today is a working day, Wednesday. People are coming and going in the building. Wilson is sitting in the lobby lounge, playing with his lighter.

Suddenly, the assistant's phone rang. Wilson turned around and saw a familiar face, and he immediately smiled.

He quickly stepped forward, opened his arms, and gave Lu Liang a heavy hug: "Lu Liang, I missed you so much."

"Kamon, is this all you can say?" Lu Liang suppressed his discomfort, hugged her, and then quickly let go.

The old white man had a strong body odor, and using perfume to offset the irritation was only one aspect of the problem. He also suspected that this guy was bisexual, and several times the look in his eyes revealed something abnormal.

"Is what I said not standard?" Wilson smiled and couldn't help but pinching Lu Liang's arm again.

"It's just too standard. It reminds me of a comedian in our country."

Lu Liang avoided the question without showing any emotion and changed the subject, introducing Liu Qing and Gao Jinhua: "Who are these two..."

Wilson interrupted with a smile: "Gene, and John, right? I know them all."

"Mr. Wilson, the last time we met was probably at the BRICS summit in South Africa, right?"

Gao Jinhua smiled, finally feeling a little relieved. He was also somewhat famous in the international financial community.

"It's been more than three years in the blink of an eye." Wilson turned his head to look at Liu Qing and said with a smile: "Gene, do you still remember?"

Liu Qing smiled back: "About seven years ago, Lauter and I visited you at JPMorgan Chase."

"We are all good friends. Let's go to the reception room upstairs. David should have finished his meeting."

Wilson turned his attention to Lu Liang again, and asked as he walked: "Are you still not planning to withdraw the Bitcoin funds?"

Through investigations during this period, they also learned that Lu Liang had two teams, one in Tokyo and one in Shanghai.

The funds in Tokyo have been lurking in early on, and the cost price is very low, probably because they want to hold Bitcoin for a long time.

The one in Shanghai is the one responsible for triggering the market this time. It is estimated that they want to make money and run away. It is also the force that they are most worried about.

It's okay to make a little money, but don't crash the market.

Emerging markets cannot withstand any blow.

Lu Liang smiled and said, "The market is so hot. If I withdraw now, I'm afraid even God won't forgive me."

"Do you really want me to leave so badly?"

The smile on his face suddenly became meaningful.

It's like saying, this matter is negotiable.

Wilson smiled and narrowed his eyes, raising his eyebrows: "Aren't we discussing this now?"

Through the bright walls of the elevator, Lu Liang saw Liu Qing's reflection and laughed out loud: "Yes, we are discussing it."

Liu Qing's face suddenly looked a little ugly. Although she didn't know what they were talking about, she had a bad feeling.

Several people came to the reception room on the 43rd floor. An old white man in his fifties came late. He first greeted Liu Qing, then hugged Gao Jinhua and called him teacher.

Finally, he turned his gaze to Lu Liang: "Mr. Lu, nice to meet you. I already know why you are here."

"It is the unanimous goal of all shareholders, including Goldman Sachs, to promote Didi's listing on the New York Stock Exchange and fulfill investment expectations."

David Solomon smiled and set the tone as soon as he opened his mouth. Didi's listing was inevitable and it was also everyone's common goal.

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 success has a lot to do with Gene."

David waved his hand and said with a smile, "Jane worked at Goldman Sachs for a long time before. She is very capable. I believe Mr. Lu will not doubt this."

"Boss Liu, you have always been my goal to learn from."

Lu Liang smiled and did not say anything bad about Liu Qing at this time. He waited for Dawei's response with peace of mind.

"Mr. Lu, your business territory doesn't seem to be closely related to Didi. We can actually sit down and have a good chat."

David wanted to know what Lu Liang's motive was and what Cheng Wei had promised. If it was Liu Qing, she should be able to provide it.

Anyway, it doesn’t matter that Cheng Wei is not here. As long as Lu Liang and Liu Qing can reach a reconciliation, his sacrifice will be worth it.

He looked at Liu Qing and smiled: "Jin En, why don't you express your attitude first and let Mr. Lu see your sincerity."

Liu Qing gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice after a long while: "If this is Goldman Sachs' idea, then I have no objection."

She knew that this might be the best solution, but Lu Liang's presence meant that she lost, but she did not lose everything.

David looked at Lu Liang with a smile. Liu Qing had already expressed her opinion, and now they were just waiting for Lu Liang.

Wilson also smiled and echoed: "Lu, there are only eternal interests, no eternal enemies."

He had looked at Didi's shareholding structure, and as long as Didi took over Cheng Wei's share of the pie, Lu Liang and Liu Qing could 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 working on this project for so long and finally has such a good chance of winning now, why should we co-exist?

As long as Liu Qing is kicked out, Didi will be his shape and he can pinch her however 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. On the other hand, Liu Qing, if she agreed now, would be raising a tiger to harm herself. "Lu Liang, don't act on impulse. Liu Qing has already made a very big concession." Gao Jinhua's face gradually turned cold. This decision was good for everyone. Lu Liang was a little shameless.

Lu Liang sneered, not even bothering to look him in the eye: "Do you have the right to speak here?"

In public, he might respect the title of professor, but in private, who does he count as?

Gao Jinhua was so angry that he saw stars. David waved his hand and interrupted him, smiling: "Mr. Lu, what do you think is 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 its listing review?"

Since Goldman Sachs is on Liu Qing's side, his plan will continue as usual, letting Didi complete the review first, and then kick Liu Qing out.

“That’s really our common goal.”

David narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and waved to his assistant: "George, these days, you will follow Mr. Lu's team and assist Didi in submitting the review materials."

George nodded, walked to Lu Liang, stretched out his hand and said, “Hello, Mr. Lu, if you have any questions, you can ask me.”

Lu Liang bowed slightly and waved to Xu Jiawei: "You two should exchange contact information. Communicate more and strive to complete the review as soon as possible."

Wilson sighed and said with a smile: "Everyone, it's getting late now, why don't we find a place to eat?"

"Kamon, you can arrange it." Lu Liang smiled.

To put it in diplomatic jargon, they exchanged views and talked, but failed to reach an agreement.

But it is still early, and the review will take at least seven working days, during which time they can continue to exchange opinions.

As the red sun sets in the west, a few people come to Wall Street next door, a very famous Italian restaurant.

The few people were divided into two tables, David, Liu Qing and Gao Jinhua were at one table, and Lu Liang and Wilson were at another table.

"Lu Liang, what are your plans next? Or are you going to stay in New York and wait?" Wilson asked.

He implicitly expressed that since Didi failed to reach an agreement with Goldman Sachs, its review journey was doomed to be bumpy.

When Didi’s application was submitted to the Department of Commerce of Dongda University for review, it failed, so they found Lu Liang to assist.

Now I'm afraid the situation will turn against Tiangang.

Lu Liang smiled and said, "Kamen, I'm going to rely on you. Have you come to a conclusion?"

Wilson didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Let's find another time to meet David alone."

After all, Liu Qing is the spokesperson for Goldman Sachs. Once she is kicked out by Lu Liang, it means that the weight of Goldman Sachs will be reduced.

If we can help Goldman Sachs regain its weight, this matter may not be completely unresolved.

"What kind of power?" Lu Liang asked calmly.

If the criterion for weight is the amount of confidential information about the University of Tokyo known, then he would probably have no choice but to use coercion or inducement.

Wilson thought for a long time before he said, "You can think of it as a kind of market influence."

"Just like why I helped you to meet David, it's because you already have the power."

Lu Liang suddenly realized and couldn't help but smile: "You actually value this market so much?"

"Don't you take it seriously?"

Wilson looked disgusted. Lu Liang didn't even know how much money he had invested in this market. He was obviously optimistic about the future development of Bitcoin, but now he was pretending to be confused with him.

“I also value it.”

Lu Liang laughed dryly, feeling a little guilty. He only knew that $20,000 was the ceiling in the short term, but he was still unclear about the long term.

However, Wilson's attitude made him more determined to hold Bitcoin for a long time. After all, he didn't spend a penny from the money in Tokyo, and it all grew by compounding interest.

Even if I lose everything, I won’t feel bad.

If you make money, invest it in the Americans.

At the same time, at another table in the same restaurant, David was also talking to Liu Qing and Gao Jinhua.

"Gene, 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, and she thought of 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 you."

Liu Qing laughed bitterly, and Gao Jinhua couldn't help but ask, "Is there no other way?"

Liu Qing felt that bringing him along would be helpful, and he also felt that he would be of great help, but the result was always contrary to his wishes.

He was like a bronze player who accidentally entered a high-end game, and was scolded by Lu Liang like a grandson, which made him very unhappy.

"Teacher, it's not that I don't respect you, but it's better for you to stay out of this kind of thing in the future."

David smiled, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes. When Dongda first entered the world, they needed literati to help promote it.

But he discovered that Gao Jinhua regarded the dividends of the times as a reflection of his own abilities.

This is not a good phenomenon.
