At the Nasdaq Trading Center, Li Jin met Franklin and Paulson again.
The two reacted very differently to his arrival.
Franklin's eyes were full of curiosity and appreciation, while Paulson had a straight face without much expression.
"Chairman Paulson, it looks like I won our bet."
Li Jin didn't bother to deal with Paulson's bad temper and said directly.
Paulson nodded and said: "Yes, New Wolf's stock price closed at $122. You did win."
"So our agreement?" Li Jin asked.
"I will naturally fulfill my promise. I will convene a board meeting tomorrow to fully recommend Li Songci as president of the Asia-Pacific region, and all internal investigations against her within the investment bank will be cancelled," Paulson said simply.
Li Jin was very satisfied.
But Li Songci next to him had a look of astonishment.
She knew about the bet between Li Jin and Paulson on New Wolf's stock price, but she didn't know that Li Jin also put forward conditions for her to take the position.
President of the Asia Pacific Region, a position that he had worked hard for several years but could not get, and this man just quietly solved it for himself!?
Looking at Li Jin beside him, Li Songci suddenly felt a strong impulse.
Rush up, knock this man down, and eat him!
As soon as this impulse appeared, it was extremely strong and almost uncontrollable.
As a result, Li Songci's cheeks were slightly red, and his eyes were sparkling, as if they could drip water.
But at this moment, Li Jin did not notice the changes in Li Song's lyrics.
"Li, I have to admit, I underestimated you before." Paulson said suddenly.
Li Jin smiled slightly and said calmly: "Chairman Paulson has his own opinions, and I also have my own persistence. No one in this world, including you and me, can say that their choice is definitely right. We
All we can do is minimize the number of wrong choices and increase the number of right choices.”
Paulson finally showed a smile on his face and said: "Li, the more I come into contact with you, the more I appreciate you. To be honest, many times I don't feel that you are a person in his early twenties. Your sophistication and
Being mature and steady makes me always feel like I am communicating with my peers.”
"This is my honor." Li Jin said neither humble nor overbearing.
Paulson smiled slightly and continued: "To be honest, I have an idea. If possible, I hope to invest in your company."
Li Jin raised his eyebrows slightly, but chuckled: "New Wolf has been listed on Nasdaq, and Chairman Paulson's investment is always welcome."
When Paulson saw Li Jin deliberately pretending to be stupid, he couldn't help but secretly cursed the cunning fox.
So he simply opened the door and said: "What I mean is that I hope to invest in other companies under your name."
"You know, Gaosheng is the largest and most professional investment bank in the investment industry. We are eager to cooperate with every company with potential, and I can also give you a guarantee that no matter how much investment or shareholding, Gaosheng will never interfere with your company.
Business decisions."
Paulson's suggestion made Li Jin sigh inwardly.
Sure enough, what he worried about happened.
As his abilities become more prominent and his companies become more mature and powerful, he will attract more and more capital.
To be honest, getting investment from Gaosheng is definitely what more than 90% of startups in the world dream of.
After all, once you accept this investment, you will not only be able to obtain an extremely abundant amount of cash in a short period of time, but more importantly, you will be able to quickly enhance the company's competitiveness by leveraging your high-sheng relationship network.
For example, if Gao Sheng is now a shareholder of New Wolf, then under Gao Sheng's operation, New Wolf can easily enter the US market and compete for market share in the portal and gaming industries.
But Li Jin doesn't need this.
With the memory of the next 19 years, he is not worried about not being able to open up the market, because he knows better than anyone else in the world where the future of the world lies.
"Sorry, Li Songci has proposed similar ideas to me before, but my answer now is the same as before, I do not intend to accept any form of investment."
Li Jin refused directly, which made Paulson look unhappy.
He felt that Li Jin was not giving him any face at all, which made him unable to stand up.
"Don't think about it anymore?" Paulson asked reluctantly.
Li Jin shook his head firmly and said: "Perhaps Gao Sheng and I will cooperate in the future, but it will definitely not be now, and it will definitely not be an investment in a company under my name."
The atmosphere in the office suddenly fell into silence.
Franklin watched silently with a smile, like a wise old fox.
Li Songci didn't say anything, but looked at Li Jin with twinkling eyes, feeling that he was too manly.
Just different from ordinary men.
What should I do? The urge to pounce on him and eat him is getting stronger, and I can't help it anymore.
Paulson quietly looked at Li Jin in front of him. He was extremely young, with black hair, yellow skin, and black eyes. All these made Paulson feel that Li Jin was so different from the people around him.
It seems that no one will reject him so forcefully now... at least, they will leave some room and face, but Li Jin does not.
He seemed to be using the most resolute attitude to show his determination and would never allow anyone to get involved in his company.
Now Paulson seems to be facing a choice, either to be friends with Li Jin or to be enemies.
Given Paulson's status and temperament, choosing the latter seems to be a no-brainer.
After all, no matter how good Li Jin is, he is still too weak and young in front of Gao Sheng.
Li Jin also knew this very well.
But he is fearless.
The bottom line is the ownership and absolute control of the property under his own name. If he can't keep this, he will be in trouble for the rest of his life.
The more you are in the face of power, the less you can compromise.
Because if you take one step back the first time, power will force you to take two steps back the second time. In the end, it will eat you dry and wipe you clean, leaving no bones or dregs left behind.
I don’t know how much time passed before Paulson suddenly laughed.
He took the initiative to reach out to Li Jin and said: "Capital is free, and so is individual will. Although it is a pity, I respect your choice and defend your right to freedom. I hope we will still have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."
With Paulson's smile and words, the atmosphere in the entire office relaxed.
The smile on Franklin's lips became more obvious.
He knew that the little fox from the East had won again. He forced his old friend to compromise for the first time in many years.
Li Jin also smiled and stretched out his hand to shake Paulson's hand, "I think there will be a chance."
