Just as the US presidential election is in full swing, Baidu, the domestic side has been hesitating about which navigation website to acquire.

In fact, Baidu had already acquired hao123 in August in his previous life, but in this life, Baidu has been hesitating because of the sudden rise of 265.

From August to November.

The longer the time goes on, the more beneficial it is for the 265 navigation website. By the end of October, the 265 navigation website suddenly entered the top 100 of the Alexa global Chinese search list;

Before April, hoa123, which accounts for most of the domestic navigation websites, regressed to more than 110 places.

The problem now is that 265 traffic is indeed greater than hao123, but hao123, as a pioneer of domestic navigation websites, has also been deeply rooted in people's hearts, and Baidu faces a dilemma.

Baidu's road to listing is imminent and can no longer be delayed.

Before the announcement of the US presidential election, Baidu sent personnel to negotiate the acquisition.

Because the internal tendency to acquire hao123 is quite loud, the Baidu staff first went to Nanyue.

The specific process is unclear, but Baidu's relevant personnel left Nanyue on the morning of the 3rd.

At 7 pm on the 3rd, Guan Qiu, who was in New York, USA, received a call from Liu Jiping, vice president of Baidu.

The negotiation process was very simple. After a few greetings on the phone, Liu Jiping explained his purpose and reported a cash + stock acquisition method. Guan Qiu did not hesitate to say anything he would not sell, and reported a number again based on the psychological price.

Liu Jiping could not accept it, or the price exceeded his psychological expectations, so he said he would consider it again.

Just as Liu Jiping was about to hang up the phone, Guan Qiu suddenly reported a number again, increasing the proportion of white-degree original shares while significantly reducing cash.

Liu Jiping then called Li Yanhong for instructions.

After the two discussed, Li Yanhong called Guan Qiu in person.

The negotiation process was simple and fast, with less than 3 minutes in advance and reached an agreement.

Both Li Yanhong and Guan Qiu were very satisfied with the results.

...

At 6 a.m. on the 3rd, local time in the United States, Guan Qiu was so happy that he almost didn't turn around in bed.

Here he just made a big profit in the international crude oil market. He has no shortage of cash at all. What he lacks is projects with investment potential. Baidu's cash flow is probably a bit tight, just like the most, everyone is happy!

Anyway, I couldn't sleep anymore, so I got up and went to the window, opened the curtains and looked out.

At the same height, the same scenery, and the same mood, you see two completely different pictures.

In Manhattan, Times Square, Empire State Building, Wall Street and those skyscrapers, he seems no longer so far away, and he even has a kind of looking down.

"So it's so good to have money!"

Standing in front of the window and enjoying the scenery outside for a while, Guan Qiu grinned and began to dress and wash.

Since I came to the United States, I have not looked at the city well because I have devoted all my energy to the crude oil and futures markets. I even went to bed without having time to celebrate after the end last night.

After washing and tidying up, go to the opposite room to knock on the door.

It took a minute before the door opened.

Park Ruo wiped the toothpaste foam from the corner of her mouth with a towel and said, "Wait a minute." Then she turned around and entered the bathroom.

Guan Qiu went to the room and looked around.

In addition to various financial books, Park Ruo's room was full of futures stock K-line charts and analysis tables drawn everywhere on the bedside table. On the contrary, women's clothes, bags and cosmetics were basically invisible to her.

He often suspects that Park Ruo must have been a man in his previous life, and he was also a career-oriented workaholic, but he accidentally reincarnated in this life.

After walking around the room, he didn't see any close-fitting clothes like Little Nene or Bra. Then he sat down on the bed and helped organize the messy information.

The sound of "slap" came from the bathroom. It was to slap the face after hydrating, so that the skin could absorb it better.

Park Ruo asked, "Did you call from the school?"

"I sent me a text message yesterday and asked me to go over and sign up as soon as possible." Guan Qiu said while finding that the corner of a piece of a4 paper was clipped into the drawer, so he pulled the drawer.

Park Ruo said: "Then when are you going back?"

The business visa period for the two is three months, and there is still half a month before the expiration.

"Uh... tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Guan Qiu looked at the things in the drawer, and his eyes almost popped out. He could not have thought that Park Ruo would use such things.

"Where are you?" As he said that, Guan Qiu immediately closed the drawer. If Park Ruo knew about it, he would be afraid that he would not be beaten to death.

Park Ruo came out and said as she walked, "I'll wait a few more days, and there is still some finishing work to be processed. In addition, have you figured out how to use the funds?"

Guan Qiu was guilty and said dryly, "That... no, do you have any good suggestions?"

Park Ruo walked over and said, "I suggest setting up an investment company, so that it is more flexible, from the perspective of investment and capital operation."

Guan Qiu, who was a little absent-minded, heard Park Ruo's words and thought about it and found it very reasonable.

There are so many potential companies around the world in the past life, such as Facebook, which just went online in February this year, and Twitter will not be officially listed until July 2006. In addition, Apple's stock is only more than $50 per share, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.

There are many such companies.

However, soon the US real estate and bank stocks will plummet, and then it will be another feast of wealth.

Thinking of this, Guan Qiu was a little dazed for a moment.

...

...

A celebration was held in a high-end hotel on Fifth Avenue.

Previously, the boss Guan Qiu had only the right to suggest but not the right to operate. All matters were decided by the main trader Park Ruo, so everyone also ignored the boss Guan Qiu.

Now I have met again.

Li Haoxuan, 34 years old, studied at the School of Economics and Management of Tsinghua University, and later went to the University of Pennsylvania to further his studies and graduated with a doctorate.

Xiong Jiawei, 32 years old, graduated from a Ph.D. in finance at Columbia University. He has worked in world-renowned investment banks such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley;

Lu Fei, 30 years old, is a PhD graduate from the Ivy League University and has held important positions in many investment banks in China;

Yang Xin, 29 years old, graduated from Harvard Business School, a financial genius;

Ye Tong, 27 years old, is a Ph.D. in Economics at Fudan University;

Zhuang Lin, 27 years old, graduated from the Shanghai Stock Exchange Master of Finance and Economics;

After the official introduction, Guan Qiu's expression was like this: ┌(.Д.)┐

Sure enough, no one who can be recognized by a top-notch female president like Park Ruo is an ordinary person.

Guan Qiu picked up the wine glass and said, "Thank you very much for your hard work over the past period of time, and also toast to us for the phased victory results we have achieved!"

“Wow, cheers”

"Hahaha……"

Then everyone started to feast on.

In capitalist countries, as long as they have money, there is nothing they can’t eat.

With Guan Qiu's expenses, the hotel has found the best ingredients for them, such as matsutake truffles, special New York bar steak, foie gras caviar, bluefin tuna, chocolate cake with French Tahitian vanilla sauce.

Champagne is sprinkled freely;

Top red wine can be opened casually;

Eat whatever you want, drink whatever you want, no limit.

Eat nearly 200,000 US dollars in one meal.

But no one feels sorry.

Guan Qiu won’t feel distressed;

Park Ruo won't feel distressed;

Li Haoxuan and the others would not feel even more distressed;

What is the only $200,000? The long orders still hang in the futures market now have more than a little profit per hour.

In fact, at 3 pm Eastern Time on November 3, after US President Bushi and his wife Laura delivered a speech at the Reagan Center in Washington, D.C., the international crude oil price immediately rose again.

Money is like tap water, and it can't be blocked and flows into your pocket.

After dinner, I will naturally reward you according to my merits.

However, before that, Park Ruo said the meaning of Guan Qiu's proposal to set up an investment company, and then asked everyone if they would like to join?

Li Haoxuan first agreed.

Then Xiong Jiawei, Lu Fei and others nodded in agreement.

Taking advantage of the excitement of drinking, everyone began to discuss the investment company.

After hearing from Park Ruo that this time the crude oil futures speculation was made by Guan Qiu, and after many times of great work, everyone unanimously chose him as the strategic general consultant of the investment company, responsible for the company's future strategic investment matters.

Of course, he is still the boss.

Park Ruo is naturally the CEO.

Li Haoxuan and Xiong Jiawei are senior vice presidents;
