No wonder.

Why was it that when she used her prostitute skills on Bai Ye before, it was completely useless and even had a counterproductive effect.

It turned out that she thought Bai Ye was only on the first layer and she was on the third layer, but in fact Bai Ye was in the atmosphere.

Could it be that he has been hiding his incompetence all these years through his dissolute life?

Now when Ikana looked at Bai Ye, she couldn't help but feel a little bit of fear. She was a little afraid that if she stayed with Bai Ye for too long, would she be sold out by Bai Ye and have to help him count money?

The center of the reception.

Amanda's mother, Anne Hearst, was chatting and laughing with a group of old men. There was no other way. Among billionaires, most of them were old men, and there were few women. If you want to do business in the American circle, you must deal with these bald and fat men.

David Solomon, co-head of Goldman Sachs' investment banking department, looked at Bai Ye who was chatting happily with Ikana and said with a smile:

"Does the young master of the Osborne family know that perfect girl?"

Ikana is quite famous in the New York circle. She is a good girl with excellent grades. Compared with most playboys, she is a breath of fresh air.

"That's normal. After all, this young master is well-known." Stanley O'Neill, CEO of Merrill Lynch, said with a smile, "I remember Anne's daughter Amanda once had contact with that young master."

Anne Hearst smiled and said, "It's just a rumor. At best, they are just friends with whom we have a decent relationship. I remember that Barron's granddaughter has a good relationship with him."

She didn't like Bai Ye Osborne, she really didn't like him. His reputation was terrible. He dared to play with all kinds of dirty and smelly women. How could he have the qualifications to be with her own chaste Amanda?

The Osborn family is very powerful, but we, the Hearst family, are not just sitting there to eat and do nothing.

It might be better to find a son-in-law who is completely under control.

For this reason, she has persuaded Amanda many times, but that damn girl, who knows what kind of love potion she was fed, must be with that playboy. No matter how many young and handsome men she introduced to her, Amanda ignored them all.

Anne Hearst was almost hurt by this.

What else does that guy have besides a nice face? He is just a bunch of rubbish, all good stuff but rotten inside.

Now, she feels that just looking at Bai Ye is like dirtying her eyes, and she doesn’t want to associate Bai Ye with Amanda.

Barron Hilton was stunned. He didn't expect the topic to be suddenly thrown to him. He glanced at Anne Hearst, and after a moment, he sighed:

"My granddaughter... Oh, forget it. Norman Osborn is a conservative man. Paris will never be able to enter the door of the Osborn family."

The Hilton family has a net worth of around $30 billion, which is far less than that of Osborne. They are not a good match, and Paris's reputation has long been ruined, so it is simply impossible.

Made.

Is this old woman, Anne Hearst, using my granddaughter as a shield?

I'm a little dissatisfied, but what can I do?

Hearst is a media tycoon. He is here today and has asked Anne Hearst for cooperation.

"It seems like you all are a little disgusted with that young master?" Doug Lyon, senior global managing partner of Sequoia Capital, said with a smile, "But that little guy has been making quite a stir recently. He founded a game company and has produced two hit games that are very popular among young people. Sequoia Capital's valuation of his game company has reached 2.8 million US dollars, making it a company with unicorn potential."

$2.8 million may seem insignificant after getting used to the way Rockford’s $3500 billion market value is calculated, but in fact it is a lot, already one-tenth of the Hilton family’s entire assets.

Companies with unicorn potential receive even greater praise.

Why are startups valued at more than $10 billion in private and public markets called “unicorns”?

Because unicorn is a creature in mythology, it is rare and noble, and it is just the right word to describe a company that smells of money.

Among the guests present here, there are many who do not have a net worth of 2.8 million US dollars!

"Unicorn?" Barron Hilton said in surprise, "I don't pay much attention to the gaming industry that young people like to play, so I didn't know that young people are now thriving and popular?"

Richard Fuld, CEO of Lehman Brothers, nicknamed "The Bulldog of Wall Street," laughed and said, "So we old people are increasingly unable to understand young people. They have been muddle-headed and foolish for most of their lives, but suddenly they wake up one day and immediately achieve results that shock us."

David Solomon, co-head of Goldman Sachs' investment banking department, raised his glass and said:

"Everyone, take your time chatting. I'll go over and take a look. Goldman Sachs and Miss Ikana are discussing an investment agreement for the B round of investment in Ikana Jewelry, which she founded."

"shit!"

Doug Lyon, senior global managing partner of Sequoia Capital, cursed inwardly:

"Are you going for Ikana? You're just after little Osborne's body, you're a slut!"

"Everyone, I'm sorry to bother you for a moment." Doug Lyon said quickly, "Sequoia Capital is also very interested in Ikana's personal brand."

A quasi-unicorn company is worth a fight between Sequoia Capital and Goldman Sachs.

"It seems like the two families are going to quarrel. It's going to be a good show. I'll go and see it too."

Merrill Lynch CEO Stanley O'Neal also left with a smile.

In the blink of an eye.

All the old men who had been surrounding Anne Hearst seemed to have left.

"Annie, how about we go over and take a look?"

Barron Hilton tried to ask.

Anne Hearst unconsciously clenched her wine glass, smiled faintly at Barron Hilton, and said:

"They are all people in the venture capital field. They can fight for investment shares in quasi-unicorns. The Hearst family has no venture capital business. Why should I get involved in such things?"

Since Anne Hearst was not going, Barron Hilton had to stay. But it was also a good opportunity since everyone had left and he could talk to Anne Hearst about cooperation.

While chatting with Barron Hilton, Anne Hearst couldn't help but glance in the direction of Bai Ye. She was surrounded by people, like the moon surrounded by stars. The more she looked at it, the angrier she became. This should have been all her glory.

"Hey, dear Ikana and little Osborn, it's been a while, how are you?"

David Solomon greeted the three people who were chatting with a standard smile.

The two gave a simple response.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, David Solomon didn't even look at Ikana again. Instead, he focused on Bai Ye and smiled slightly:

"Little Osborne, the Roxxon Group has collapsed recently. Your Galaxy Capital should have made a lot of money as well, right?"

Doug Lyon, who was following David Solomon, was stunned. He thought that David Solomon came for Bai Ye’s quasi-unicorn Tianmei Studio, but he didn’t expect to suddenly hear about Galaxy Capital. What is this?

It's no wonder that Sequoia Capital only focuses on the venture capital field, while Goldman Sachs' scale and the fields it involves are not comparable to Sequoia Capital's.

Bai Ye narrowed his eyes and looked at David Solomon.

Goldman Sachs's sense of smell is unexpectedly sharp. How could it detect the existence of Galaxy Capital so quickly?

But it doesn’t matter. Bai Ye didn’t plan to keep it secret for long anyway. After a period of development, it’s about time for Galaxy Capital to step onto the stage.

In the future, Galaxy Capital will only make bigger and bigger moves. If you are a small animal, you can hide anywhere, but if you are an elephant, it will be difficult to find a place to hide yourself.

"It's just a small fight, following the giants and taking a bite of the soup. How can it be compared with Goldman Sachs?" Bai Ye smiled and said, "Mr. Solomon, my investment consultant told me that Goldman Sachs made at least $15 billion from the Roxxon incident. This is an astronomical figure!"

"It can't be a small-scale deal, right?" David Solomon joked, "Your Galaxy Capital has already started acquiring banks, spending hundreds of millions of dollars at a time. It seems that Galaxy Capital has sufficient cash flow."

Bai Ye suddenly realized.

It seems that Jordan's big move to acquire a bank was noticed by giants like Goldman Sachs, so the existence of Galaxy Capital could no longer be concealed.

I guess many Wall Street giants have become interested in Galaxy Capital these days, right?

If it weren't for the Osborn halo on Bai Ye, who knows, some overt or covert means would have been used to bring it about.

"Really? I don't pay much attention to the company's affairs. They are all handled by the people below."

Bai Ye yelled haha.

I don't know why David Solomon came to tell him these things. Could it be that Goldman Sachs got evidence that Galaxy Capital was shorting Roxxon in advance and wanted to use this to threaten him?

Ha ha.

Bai Ye saw that David Solomon had a black forehead and estimated that he would suffer a bloody disaster today.

I, Bai Ye, may not be good at solving problems, but I am very good at solving problems for people who raise problems!

I, the ancestors, can do whatever I want!

"It seems that the Osborne family does have a lot of money, hundreds of millions of dollars, which can be used at will by their subordinates." David Solomon joked, "So, is there any opportunity for Goldman Sachs and Galaxy Capital to cooperate? It would take too much time and energy for Galaxy Capital to acquire banks on its own. Why not hand it over to Goldman Sachs? Goldman Sachs is professional in acquisitions."

Sequoia Capital has set its sights on Tianmei Studios, how much money can it make? If Goldman Sachs helps Galaxy Capital acquire a bank, this would be a very profitable deal.

suddenly see the light.

It turns out that he wanted to take over the acquisition of Galaxy Capital. He was not here to threaten him. After all, Bai Ye is a kind-hearted person, so it is better not to kill anyone if possible.

Bai Ye chuckled and said:

"I need to discuss this matter with my investment advisors. If there is an opportunity for cooperation, I will definitely consider Goldman Sachs."

Chapter 66: Truth is only within the range of the cannon, and dignity is only at the edge of the sword

Above

"Then it's a deal. If you have the chance, you must consider Goldman Sachs, Master Osborne."

David Solomon smiled, raised his glass, and drank it all.

"must!"

Bai Ye also took a sip of red wine.

In fact, handing the acquisition over to Goldman Sachs is not a big deal, as it can save Galaxy Capital a lot of time.

As for what would happen if Goldman Sachs really took this opportunity to discover Galaxy Capital’s tricks…

Let me put it this way, Bai Ye is not afraid of Goldman Sachs finding out, and he is not even afraid of Goldman Sachs telling Roxon about this and letting Roxon find out, because if anyone dares to find out, Bai Ye will let them be shot eight times in the back and commit suicide.

If one comes, I will kill one. If two come, I will kill a pair.

He just didn't believe that he couldn't stop the evil trend of "spreading rumors that Galaxy Capital was related to the Roxxon factory explosion."

The ultimate solution to the problem is to destroy the enemy physically.

In other words, truth is only within the range of cannons, and dignity is only on the edge of swords. Coincidentally, Bai Ye's truth (fist) and reason (head) are very big.

As long as no one can raise any doubts, Galaxy Capital is just shorting Roxxon in a normal transaction.

Well, among these financial giants on Wall Street, there is no so-called good person at all. If they are lined up and shot, there may be some innocent people, but if they are shot every other one, there will definitely be some who slip through the net.

Of course, this is a last resort.

——In fact, things may change dramatically. Even if Goldman Sachs finds something, between Galaxy Capital, a big client that can make huge profits, and Roxon, with whom it has a bad relationship, who will Goldman Sachs choose to help? In the eyes of Wall Street giants, as long as the benefits are enough, they can sell the rope to hang themselves to the enemy!

In fact, the giants on Wall Street are having much more fun than Bai Ye, and Bai Ye is also in the stage of learning from them.

——Legend has it that an investor named Andrew on Wall Street made a huge profit of $800 million in the stock market with an initial cost of $3.6, but later there was no trace of this person.

Unplugging the Internet cable has always been Wall Street's ultimate means, and this classic will never go out of style.

Saying that people in Wall Street are not breaking the law is like a priest saying that he doesn't like little boys, a little boy saying that he doesn't like Japan, and Japan saying that it doesn't like Hebei cauliflower.

……

The person who came after David Solomon was Doug Lyon from Sequoia Capital.

I mentioned the issue of investing in Tianmei Studio to Bai Ye, but he politely declined. Even if Tianmei Studio wants to accept investment, it should at least be after "League of Legends" is developed and launched on the market. It's still a long time before that!

Afterwards, a group of bigwigs gathered around Bai Ye and chatted for a while. Those who were well-informed chatted with Bai Ye about the affairs of Galaxy Capital, while those who were not well-informed chatted with Bai Ye about the affairs of Mei Studio.

"Who is that person?"

In a corner of the banquet, a wealthy Middle Eastern man wearing a white headscarf looked curiously at Bai Ye, who was surrounded by a group of Wall Street executives like a moon surrounded by stars, and asked his friend beside him:

"Isn't this the Hearst family's banquet? Why are all those big shots rushing towards that very young-looking boy?"

"Don't you know yet? He is a well-known seven-star whore in the upper class circle of New York. If you stay in New York for a while, you will definitely know." The rich man with a white headscarf took off his white headscarf and said, "The reason for this is that I think it is probably because he founded a game company and created a very profitable game called "Minecraft"..."

"Minecraft?" The rich man with the white turban asked in surprise, "Is it made by his game company? I'm playing it too! However, this game is very popular, but it's only worth two or three hundred million dollars. It's not enough to make those Wall Street investment bank executives surround him like sharks smelling blood, right?"

"Then I don't know. Maybe it's because he is the eldest son of the Osborne family? That's not right. I've seen him at banquets before, and he wasn't as popular as he is now."

"I think there must be some reasons behind it that we don't know about."

The confusion of the white-turbaned tycoons was also the confusion of many people at the banquet.

"David Solomon, Doug Lyon, Richard Fuld, Stanley O'Neill...these are giants who stomp their feet, and American finance will be shocked." Amanda was confused: "What is White Night?" Time to get mixed up in this high-end bureau?"

"We agreed to be trash together." Edward Johnson Jr. was confused: "How come you secretly became a giant?"

——Rich second-generations are not always elites. There are always some who are useless. In the circle of rich second-generations in New York, Bai Ye used to be a useless person, and Edward Johnson Jr. still is one now.

"Bai Ye, have you made it?"

When surrounded by Wall Street tycoons, Ikana trembled and dared not speak at all. After they left, Ikana looked at Bai Ye and said in disbelief.
