Legendary American Tycoon

As soon as he saw White getting up, the potbellied man also hurriedly reached out to shake hands with him. This makes White a little flattered. On the one hand, he wonders, is this person afraid that he has admitted the wrong person?

The man smiled calmly and said, "The first time I met, I am Maria's father. It's nice to meet you, White."

While responding, White wondered why Dad Maria was so enthusiastic when he came up. This is a very wrong approach. Dad Maria quickly added: "Your mother's name I have been admired for a long time. , I learned from chatting today that you are the son of Mrs. Engelson!"

White finally understood that there was still this relationship. His mother had said before that she worked in a major newspaper in New York and was said to be the editor-in-chief of one of the greatest newspapers in the United States.

It's no wonder that Maria's father suddenly offered to meet. White understood at once, but was relieved. After shaking hands with him, the two walked to the place where the wine was served, chatting as they walked.

"My little girl often talks about you these days. It seems that your relationship is very good!" said Maria's father. "She has been spoiled and spoiled since she was a child. Maybe some things are not so stable and troublesome. Mr. Gesen should be more accommodating."

This Young Master Engelson really can't bear it. White thought to himself, as expected, there are few levels of relationship between them, and he muttered in his heart, this guy will not want to have a political marriage, right? He was really not blessed, but fortunately, Dad Maria just mentioned it so lightly, and then he didn't mention anything between them.

Maria’s father said: “Lumbra’s recent success is obvious to all. As the editor-in-chief of CA Circle, I certainly pay attention to the platform that turned out to be California. During this time, it can be said that you are watching your LB Ascend step by step. What a young and promising young man!"

White was patted on the shoulder by Maria's father twice, and he quickly said, "Where, I would like to thank your seniors for your care."

Maria’s dad pretended to be silly: "What care! What nonsense, I will treat it fairly, and I will report whichever has the potential! In this regard, I can't help but learn from Mrs. Engelson’s autobiography. She was so good. I have read the editor's autobiography more than ten times..."

White thought to himself, darling, dare to feel that this old Maria is the little brother of White's mother, this is good, there will be no need to go through the relationship between Maria in the future.

Father Maria chose the full glass of champagne in a slip of champagne, and put it to his mouth to enjoy it. After waiting, he turned around and said to White: "I happen to know a few people in the newspaper industry. At this party, after they heard that you are coming, they wanted to see you."

White thought that this was just a night of chatting with the chief editor of CA Circle, but he didn't expect to have this kind of adventure. Listening to this tone, it should be someone from another newspaper, it seems that he is not an ordinary person.

Maria's father greeted the two middle-aged people, but he didn't have a big belly like him. One male and one female, the male is taller and stronger, the female has short, capable and neat blond hair, the upper body is in a black dress, the lower body is wrapped in a gray plaid skirt, and the white face is painted with bright red lipstick.

When White looked at it, he felt that he was a refined and capable person, and he was still a type of character that was not easy to mess with. At this time, I heard the woman stretch out her hand and introduce from me: "Carolyn Stall, CEO of the online department of the Washington Post."

auzw.com When White heard that it turned out to be the Washington Post, he was immediately happy. I guessed that my mother was the editor-in-chief of a certain mother newspaper. No, one of the greatest newspapers of the United States came Up.

Especially Buffett, the investment tycoon behind the Washington Post, makes people excited to think about it. On the other hand, White couldn't help but become curious. Is it possible that today is not about interviews, but about financing cooperation?

Another man who claimed to be the senior manager of the acquisition and investment department of the Washington Post Company also shook hands with White. Together with Maria's father, the four of them walked to a corner of the small and brightly lit lobby.

Caroline Stall took the champagne from Maria’s father, took a deep sip, and said unhurriedly: "I heard about your deeds, White. I'll just be straightforward. Having said that, this time I am representing the top of the Washington Post to talk to you about the cooperation projects between the two companies!"

White thought to himself, it's not good, as expected, the bigger the cake, the more things you want to share. At this time, the more you have to stabilize your position, you must not be blinded by the benefits of these so-called big companies injecting capital and cooperation.

"In the meantime, I have to thank Mr. Maria for dealing with him." White said, turning to clink glasses with Dad Maria.

Maria's dad was really shrewd. At a glance, he saw what White was thinking and knew how to get into the topic the fastest. Maria's dad took advantage of his age to chat with Caroline Stall.

"My little girl is studying at Stanford, and White's LUMBLAR is extremely successful. If you remember correctly, Miss Caroline, you used to be a student at Stanford! In this way, you two should have a lot of topics."

"Yeah, I am also a student at Stanford. That is a really good school." Caroline clinked to White. "Your success reminds me of many things I studied at Stanford."

White said modestly: "Miss Caroline's deeds at Stanford, I also talked a lot about Mr. Maria. It is worth learning."

The business talk before the topic was still needed, and after nine o'clock the next time, the banquet became lively and the voices were noisy and noisy. It was also at this time that Caroline talked about financing cooperation consciously or unconsciously.

White is very clear about this. The Washington Post is different from the former agency of Emery and Bricia. This is a very generous company. Once it comes, it must have long-term cooperation. Regardless of the immediate benefits, the risks will not be small in the future.

Caroline said: "Your Lumblar is so successful that it even defeated the blog, but so far I haven't heard the news that other companies are coming to you. I was sent this time, and I just want to know your program philosophy. , And then discuss it with you again."

White first talked about LUMBLAR. Caroline’s expression slowly became pleasantly surprised. It seemed that Caroline was tempted by LB. White said: “I’ll be honest, like a venture capitalist. There are investments in my own name, but I generally don’t have much contact with venture capital companies. I’ve been in Google for a while and I’ve seen too many examples where companies have to sell companies quickly because of pressure from investment companies. It is not my original intention.

"General venture capital companies will put pressure on you in any form, of course I know." Caroline nodded and smiled. "You want a non-venture investor, right?"

White thought that Caroline would really grasp the point. After guessing the meaning of his words, he couldn't help but get closer, and emphasized: "Yes, who doesn't want such an investor. Otherwise, who can be with Can't make money?"
