Chapter 929
"It's better at home," Feng Yiping rested his head on Huang Jingping's lap on the reclining chair in the backyard, and asked her to clean his ears.
Amanda was sitting on a big cushion next to her, still wearing a one-piece overalls, playing with clay with great interest.
Feng Yiping's work on restoring the exterior design of Tesla's two cars is progressing slowly, but his daughter is completely in love with this work, and creates with enthusiasm every day.
But the creations at her age are naturally only understood by children of her age. Although what she pinches are some things around her, her parents can't tell what they are at all.
For example, she once held up a yellow irregular triangle and said it was the sun, and a green polyhedron and said it was a tree—at last the color was right.
"Dad, Dad," Amanda cried happily, holding up a combination of a cuboid on the top and a ball on the bottom, and said, "This is you I pinched."
Look like I'm so good, hurry up and praise me.
"Oh, it's really like, look, my mother is jealous, hurry up and pinch a mother,"
Huang Jingping slapped Feng Yiping lightly on the head angrily, "Amanda, wipe off the dirt on your face,"
"Face, which side?" Amanda was nervous.
Huang Jingping compared the bottom of her mouth. She quickly lowered her head and wiped her chin vigorously on the towel around her body. Most of the towel was still white. "It's clean."
She likes to be clean. In addition, she really doesn't like sludge getting into her mouth.
Children are the same, they want to taste everything, although Huang Jingping and Feng Yiping have repeatedly emphasized that they will be poisoned, have stomach pains, etc., once she couldn't help but secretly tasted the smell of sludge, and then, her father Mom finally doesn't have to worry about the problem!
She cried a lot, because the taste of that thing was very bad-it is estimated that the sludge manufacturer has also considered this issue comprehensively.
"Mom, just wait, I'll squeeze it for you now," Amanda was full of enthusiasm with her father's encouragement.
"I'm sure, no matter how much my mother hurts Amanda, if she sees me pinched by her, she will definitely spank her ass," Feng said in a low voice.
"Then you still let her pinch me?"
"I was thinking, she pinched my head too big, so you, could it be that it's pinched too big here?" Feng Yiping narrowly compared his chest, "I think it's very possible."
The little guy at this meeting can't clearly describe what he can see according to the adult's eyes, but just follow the feeling, so the situation Feng Yiping said is very likely to happen.
"You think your daughter won't grow up like you," Huang Jingping gave him a disdainful look.
Feng Yiping didn't speak, and watched his daughter lower her head to create, her hand was rubbing back and forth on Huang Jingping's smooth thigh. At first, Huang Jingping didn't care, but seeing him getting more and more upward, she patted his ass dumbfounded. With one hand, he shook his earpick in a demonstration, "You want to be deaf!"
He also muttered in a low voice, "Isn't that enough last night?"
"How can you think like this?" Feng Yiping said very righteously, "Last night was last night, today is today, you ate last night, don't you want to eat today?"
"You're just a rogue, plus a rogue, can anything compare to eating?"
"When you're negotiating with clients, don't you just talk nonsense like that?"
"How can it be? In the minds of customers, I have always been the right name," this is not his bragging, the words he and his business partners said are naturally very correct.
"Let's get down to business, Carol is with me. In the past two days, we have met many real estate agents and visited many places, but there is no suitable place,"
Huang Jingping is very dedicated to opening a very unique and high-end Chinese restaurant.
As soon as Feng Yiping arrived in the United States, she withdrew from NEXTDOOR's financial department, but still had an office there, after all, she was also one of the major shareholders.
Feng Yiping will still be away from the United States for a long time in the future, and she also hopes to have suitable things to do. Chinese restaurants are a very reliable choice.
"Don't worry, look at more places, there will always be suitable ones, even if it's a bit off, the place must be big enough, and you can take advantage of this time to conduct some training, such as on restaurant management,"
"Don't learn the essence, always have a general understanding, and then explore by yourself,"
"Okay," Huang Jingping agreed very readily. She has always been a child who loves to learn.
After talking about the business, listening to Huang Jingping's whispers in the ear, and Amanda's laughter from time to time, listening to the gentle sound of the waves in the distance, feeling the breeze blowing over the top of the mountain, at some point, Feng Yiping entered the Dreamland.
In those days at Coin Star, he seemed to have everything under control, but in fact the pressure was quite high.
To be honest, he had never heard of a small company like Coin Star before, and he didn't know how it would develop in the future. The benefits of acquiring Coin Star are still very large.
But to be honest, he can't be like Yahoo or Amazon now, because he has money in his hands, so he can make big mergers and acquisitions, even if he fails, it doesn't matter.
With a big business of nearly half a billion dollars, he didn't want to fail, and he couldn't fail.
So a few days ago, he has been acting resolutely and giving people the impression that he has a well-thought-out plan, but he is actually quite disturbed in his heart. The plan is very good, but it is not impossible for such a thing to happen—fortunately, everything is going smoothly. .
In addition, in the meeting with Bezos the day before yesterday, he seemed to be able to cope with it. In fact, he was self-aware. How could it be easy for such an old fox and such a veteran capitalist to let him follow his baton? thing?
Although the results of the talks were unexpectedly good, for him, the nearly three-hour talks were no less than running a marathon with an amateur athlete and a professional track and field athlete. It was definitely a super-loaded job.
"At that time, I also want to find some people from China to help me, okay?" Huang Jingping was looking forward to her arrangement for the restaurant, but she didn't get a response. Looking at it again, Feng Yiping was snoring softly.
This is really tiring!
She carefully moved Feng Yiping's head to the pillow, "Amanda,"
"what,"
Huang Jingping pointed to Feng Yiping, who was sleeping soundly, and made a "shh" gesture. The little guy was very sensible, and immediately gestured with his hand on his mouth, which meant that the zipper was closed, and he would never make a noise to disturb his father.
…………
"Dad, Dad," Amanda gently pushed Feng Yiping, who was soundly asleep, "It's time to eat."
After several pushes, Feng Yiping opened his eyes. He was a little confused about the situation for a while, but when he saw Amanda and the sun in the sky, he realized that it was evening. "Have you eaten, baby!"
"The meal is ready, Dad, are you tired?"
"Dad is very tired, but as long as he sees Amanda, he is not tired at all, hehe, let's go eat!"
Huang Jingping smiled and stood under the porch, "Merback will call you in the afternoon,"
"Old Mo? Isn't he also on vacation, is it urgent?"
"He said it was nothing urgent, just good news," he said.
"Good news, you have to listen to it,"
"Old Mo, what's the good news?" Feng Yiping asked loudly while wiping his face with a wet towel while turning his phone on speakerphone.
"I'm sorry Feng, I interrupted your rest, you go and check the stock price,"
"Stock price?" Feng Yiping stopped, "Did it go up?"
"Hehe, you'll know it when you see it,"
"Are there any reports on this in the past two days?"
"Yes, not only local ones in Seattle, but also the Wall Street Journal has reported it,"
"Then I'll hang up first,"
Feng Yiping wiped his face dry indiscriminately, ran to the study, turned on the computer, entered the Nasdaq page, and entered the code of CSTR. After a look, the increase of the day exceeded 11.7, and the current stock price has reached 17.6!
Although there is still a gap from his purchase price of 19.2, that is his price after a 40.1% premium. Today's 17.6 is a cumulative increase of nearly 30% compared to the average stock price of 13.62 in the 40 days before the purchase!
This is definitely the market's recognition of this merger, that is, the recognition of Feng Yiping.
Feng Yiping, who was in a good mood, then checked the stock prices of Yijia and Auto.com. As he expected, the stock prices of these two companies also rebounded, one for Xiaozhang by 3.8%, and the other for 5.1%.
Added up, Feng Yiping's book wealth has increased by more than 250 million US dollars today!
Ha ha!
He didn't rush to read the Wall Street reports, and opened his mailbox. Sure enough, those guys who were quite critical a while ago sent them emails one by one.
Sequoia's Michael Moretz said, "My friend, look forward to more good news from you, Sequoia and myself, support all your actions!"
That's not what you said a while ago!
As for friends, Feng Yiping is now so likely to believe that these people in venture capital are friends with him? Whoever returns to him is his friend.
Without thinking about it, he wrote a few words as a routine, and then copied and pasted them. Within a few minutes, he completed the reply to these investment bank guys. Although he knew their essence, these relationships still need to be maintained.
Searching the Internet, there are quite a lot of reports related to Coin Star, all featuring him and Coin Star, introducing the coin-for-card plan and current achievements.
Like the reports on the same event on domestic websites, the news about Coinstar on these American websites is similar, and many of them are reposting the report from the "Wall Street Journal".
"Although the market was generally skeptical about the acquisition hosted by Yiping Feng before, and although we have not seen the benefits that Coin Star can bring to NEXTDOOR, we have to admit that just after the successful acquisition In just a few days, Coin Star has changed a lot,”
“‘We’re like newborns, thriving every day,’ says a senior Coin Star employee,”
"His words are not exaggerating. Although the business of Coin Star has not directly increased in the past two days, and even the number of people who exchange coins has declined, I know that they, like me, are waiting for Coin Star to be able to After the 8.9% handling fee, go to exchange, "
"Among the friends around me, many friends who were originally dissatisfied with the high service fees of Coinstar and never used the service of Coinstar also said that they would be happy to exchange their coins at home for Starbucks consumer cards or Amazon shopping coupons. ,"
"According to the reliable information we have received, more and more merchants are willing to participate in the Coin Star coin-for-card program, many of which are Amazon, Starbucks, Sears, Blockbuster, 7-11, CVS and everyone else. Companies that are closely related to daily life, and this list is still expanding, "
"Although neither party has officially admitted it, after the talks between Feng Yiping and Bezos, it is said that Coinstar got a very good discount. The previous 8.9% handling fee was because it had to be shared with the cooperative shopping malls. In the end, Coinstar If you get it, it will not exceed 5%, but according to relevant sources, Bezos agreed to give them a discount of more than 5%.”
"With a benchmark like Amazon, I believe that Coin Star will get a lot of discounts in the next negotiations,"
"So we have to say that although this merger and acquisition does not seem to have much connection with NEXTDOOR's main business, we have to admit that Yiping Feng is already a success in terms of running a company whose growth has stagnated. Yes, his deeds are worthy of the title of the World Youth Entrepreneurial Idol!"
"According to relevant sources, at the first dinner with Coin Star employees, Feng said that the company should take the initiative to get involved in other fields, and he has other well-prepared plans. We will pay close attention to his next move and look forward to it. He can bring us more surprises!"
"Did the stock price go up?" Huang Jingping didn't know when she came behind him.
"It's gone up," Feng Yiping put his arms around her and kissed her firmly, "It will definitely go up in the future,"
He believes that as long as this trip to Chicago goes well, the stocks of the three companies under his name will definitely rise sharply again.
…………
But what he didn't expect was that the market's reaction was so enthusiastic. Affected by the Wall Street Journal's report, the next day, the stock price of Coin Star rose sharply again. It stopped trading in the afternoon and rose by more than 8% throughout the day. !
As a result, the stock prices of Yijia and Auto.com also rose slightly.
Some people are happy, and naturally some people are not happy.
Compared with his growth in the past two days, the increase in wealth on the books of those two complacent guys in Hong Kong in the past few days is just like a joke.
Some people in Silicon Valley were also unhappy. After seeing the news, Hastings slapped the table again. How can this guy go so smoothly every time?
