Chapter 2485: Prepare to Be Timid

Receiving such an ultimatum is another one of a kind for Lawrence Fink and Edward Johnson.

Moreover, they took the initiative to come to him, apologized to him repeatedly under the gaze of such a group of rude Silicon Valley people with ulterior motives, and were given an ultimatum so casually.

Such an experience made Fink and Johnson, who have been pampered for so many years, feel that it was not real at all, but very fantasy.

However, some people can't wait to make a footnote for this, "Then do it, right in Silicon Valley, register a company now," Brin said impatiently.

"We all believe in your vision and ability in investment. We believe that as long as you are willing to do it, the property of so many companies and individuals in Silicon Valley will never be handed over to other companies to manage,"

His words are not exaggerated at all. As long as the wind is spread, Feng Yiping's new company will definitely not lack customers, and there will definitely be many people who ask him to take them with them.

After all, his good vision and ability in investment are also obvious to all.

Let's not talk about Google. Think about Skype, think about Navteq, which was approved by regulators of various countries and officially acquired by Nokia this month... not to mention the fund he established not long ago.

Judging from these, Feng Yiping's boast that he can definitely win the Nobel Prize in Economics is not just a boast or empty talk. He really has the ability to get high returns without much risk.

Page also has some intention of rubbing his hands, "Do it! We have long thought about the opportunity to change this industry,"

Fink and Johnson believe that this should also be true. Just think about how many businesses Silicon Valley is currently involved in that were originally unrelated to them.

Moreover, in the financial field, they have already had successful practices. PayPal is the best example.

"We can therefore develop many new technologies in this area to make it more efficient and less costly,"

"I think we can develop in two directions. One direction is to charge the lowest possible fees; the other direction is to charge high fees to some exclusive customers,"

Brin immediately understood what he meant, "Okay, I think everyone may rush to invest in the high-fee one,"

Fink and the others naturally understood why, because it would be a high-return, low-risk project.

"I think as long as we develop some technology and invest a lot, we can completely do unmanned trading..."

"Do you think that the cloud platform and new supercomputer project we are developing are very suitable for this direction..."

The two people who were very dedicated to watching the show just now seemed to no longer care about them. They only cared about Feng Yiping's new proposal, and it seemed that they were ready to start working on it.

Fink and Johnson estimated that if they sat here for a while longer, a large group of people might come over to accept their instructions. They were afraid that by the time of dinner, when their ultimatum expired, the general framework would have been set up...

They immediately stood up, said nothing, and hurried out with cold faces. They really didn't want to stay in this place for a second.

But even so, they still received a lot of undisguised strange looks along the way. Some of them looked at them as if they were looking at a few monkeys who failed in juggling - these rude guys.

"Hey, guys, guys," Feng Yiping knocked on the table, and the two people who had been drawing and discussing on napkins finally stopped, looked at him, and asked in unison, "Why, you don't agree with this structure?"

"Not at all," Feng Yiping collected the napkins in their hands, "It's just that I'm not very interested in just using money to make money,"

"This fund is enough for me, I really don't have the interest to manage their assets for too many people,"

"Oh, yes, you do have too many things to do,"

"You still prefer to start a business," the two concluded somewhat insincerely.

"It's just that we can still take this as a direction in the future," Page said seriously, "Look at what kind of assholes the heads of these two well-known asset management companies are. If there is a chance to change this industry, why don't we do it?"

"Okay, okay, I will seriously consider it when I have time," Feng Yiping said perfunctorily.

In fact, he will definitely not consider it.

Just like Page and others said, he has enough things to do at the moment, and he really doesn't have the energy to open another stall.

Besides, is it necessary to let more people share those rare investment opportunities for some commissions?

Frankly speaking, he really doesn't care about those commissions.

The reason why he said that was just to put pressure on Fink and Johnson.

…………

Outside Mantingfang, Fink looked up and asked, "Together?" when he got in the car.

Abigail, who was about to close the door for her father, looked at her father's face and immediately said, "I will contact you later."

Fink didn't say anything else and hurriedly got in the car and left.

The group parted ways at the intersection not far from Mantingfang.

They need time to digest everything they encountered today, and more importantly, they need to evaluate the possible consequences from both positive and negative aspects.

How can such a thing be done in front of the main opponent?

But when they arrived at their respective hotels, the specific work was all done by their two assistants, Abigail and Robert.

Lawrence Fink and Edward Johnson, both sat in front of the window in contemplation or daze.

And even the direction they were looking at was the same.

…………

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Abigail personally welcomed Lawrence Fink and Robert in front of a cafe. At this time, Johnson, the only customer in the store, stood up from the table in the corner, "Hi Lawrence,"

He still had a smile on his face. When shaking hands, he looked at Lawrence's expression, which was a kind of relief mixed with helplessness, "So, you have also reached a conclusion?"

Fink sat down. Isn't this nonsense? Otherwise, we should meet at the airport now.

"There is no need to argue with him for a while," he said.

Johnson agreed deeply, "Yes, at this time, we really can't have other troubles,"

"After this period," he said.

"Yes, after this period," Fink also said.

Both of them looked like they were temporarily avoiding the limelight and letting Feng Yiping be proud for a while.

In fact, of course, this is not the case.

They cannot bear the consequences of Feng Yiping's strong opposition and special targeting in the Chinese market.

Because the result of that is likely to be that they will be completely marginalized in the world's second largest market.

They also cannot accept the consequence that Feng Yiping will join forces with Silicon Valley to compete with them in the United States and other markets.

Because the result of that is likely to be that their performance in the world's largest market will shrink across the board.

They can look down on Silicon Valley in various ways.

But in any case, when Feng Yiping and the two Google guys join forces, when Feng Yiping may also join forces with other people - it can be seen from this Android conference that he is very good at doing such things.

Then, even if it is a threat or intimidation, that threat and intimidation have a very large deterrent effect in reality.

Because they can't predict at all what extent they will achieve if they really do it.

But based on some precedents of their cross-border success, it should never be underestimated.

"So, about which companies..."

"I just want to discuss this with you," Fink said, "which companies' shares can we transfer to him, how much to transfer, we'd better reach a consensus now,"

At this point, both of them were a little discouraged.

In the current environment, when even companies like Google are experiencing a correction in their stock prices, and global stock markets are falling except for China, such a transfer is a loss-making deal anyway.

For the stocks of many companies they hold, it is more suitable to buy at this time, rather than sell.

The two picked up the coffee at the same time, silently signaled to each other, and drank it in big gulps.

Compared with the bitterness in their hearts at this time, the bitterness in the coffee is really not worth mentioning at all.

In the deserted coffee shop, it seems that there are faint sighs everywhere...

ps: tirelessly asking for votes.
