My 1999

A black Mercedes-Benz sedan drove slowly along Downing Street.

After walking around St. James's Park, a gorgeous palace came into view.

"Secretary Li, we are here." Huo Yan reminded.

Li Yunfei, who was tall and wearing black-rimmed glasses, nodded.

"I'll have to trouble Mr. Huo to negotiate later."

"Wrap it around me."

Huo Yan said directly.

Although he didn't know what Li Yunfei's purpose was, since the big boss personally called to explain, he didn't dare to neglect it at all.

After the car stopped, Huo Yan got out of the car and met the palace garrison soldiers. After their inspection, the heavy iron door slowly opened.

The Mercedes-Benz slowly drove into Buckingham Palace.

When they came to a stop in front of the palace, the two got out of the car.

A middle-aged man wearing a red bow tie and a crisp black suit came forward.

Huo Yan took a step forward and stretched out his right hand.

"Hello, I am Huo Yan, CEO of Hanhua London Office. On the order of Mr. Xu Liang, I brought a gift to visit the Queen."

After shaking hands with him, the middle-aged man smiled.

"I am Wilhan Sanda, the first-class steward of the royal family. Your Majesty has already known your intention and asked me to receive you. Mr. Xu's gift can be given to me, and I will personally deliver it to Your Majesty."

"I'm sorry, this gift is of great importance and is related to the reputation of the royal family, so Mr. Xu told me that it must be delivered to Her Majesty the Queen personally." Huo Yan said directly.

Wilhan Sanda frowned.

The other party's tone was too loud, and the person standing behind him was Kim Caesar, who had deep cooperation with the royal family and was now making waves in the oil market.

He didn't dare to take it lightly.

After thinking about it for a while.

"Just a moment."

Wilhan Sanda turned around and walked far away, took out his mobile phone and made a call.

After a few brief words, he hung up the phone and came back.

"Your Majesty has agreed to see you. Please come with me."

"Thanks."

The two were led into Buckingham Palace and walked through the gorgeous and grand corridors to the second floor.

"You guys wait here."

Leaving the two of them behind, Wilhan Sanda walked to a door that was entirely milky white but had beautiful lines drawn with gold paint.

After knocking on the door, open the door and go in.

He came out quickly and opened half of the door.

"Please come in, the queen is inside."

After thanking him, Huo Yan took Li Yunfei and walked in.

This is an elegantly furnished reception room that exudes luxury in a low-key manner.

Wearing white home clothes, the old-looking Queen of England sits on a golden chair with crimson cushions.

Huo Yan took a breath and bent down to salute.

"Meet Her Majesty the Queen, who is both beautiful and wise."

Li Yunfei also saluted.

After smiling and nodding, the queen said directly.

"Where's Mr. Xu's gift?"

Li Yunfei took out the key from his trouser pocket, opened the handcuffs that were originally attached to himself and the suitcase, and after unlocking the password on the suitcase, took out a document bag sealed in kraft paper.

This scene of heavy protection made the queen more curious about the contents of the document bag.

The palace guard stepped forward, took the document bag and handed it to the Queen.

After the latter took it and opened it, he took out the documents inside and took a look.

His expression changed instantly.

Bang.

He slapped his palms hard on the table.

Looking at the queen who was breathing rapidly and seemed extremely angry, Huo Yan couldn't help but be curious.

What content actually made the head of a country so angry?

In fact, not only Huo Yan didn't know the content, but Li Yunfei, who sent the document, didn't know the content either. He was only responsible for transporting it.

After a long time, the queen took a deep breath.

Still angry, he looked at the two people below with a cold expression.

"What else did Golden Caesar say?"

Li Yunfei said quickly: "The boss said that he has a deep friendship with the royal family, and the royal family is also the main investor of Hanhua, so after he got the document, he sent it over without stopping.

And he has cleared up all the trouble, and no one will ever know the contents of the file again. "

The queen felt relieved.

"Does he have any other requests?"

"The boss said that he is working hard to help the royal family create wealth. If he can win this time, the royal family's rewards will be very generous."

The queen's eyes flickered.

She instantly understood what Xu Liang meant.

Now the world's powerful people know that Golden Caesar is fighting an oil war with the old Soros.

In the past week, the two sides have invested nearly 200 billion U.S. dollars.

Not to mention earth-shattering, but there were also lightning and thunder, and sparks flying everywhere.

Any off-field factors added may turn the situation around.

Obviously.

Xu Liang hopes that she, or the British royal family, will act as this variable.

Originally she didn't want to end up.

but……

After taking a look at the document in his hand, his blood pressure rose again, and bursts of anger rushed to Tianling.

Take a deep breath.

After calming down his anger temporarily.

"You go back and tell Xu Liang that the friendship between the British royal family and him is solid and profound. As long as he is willing to maintain this friendship, the British royal family will not hesitate to repay him."

"I will convey it to the boss word for word."

The Queen nodded and waved.

Huo Yan and Li Yunfei said their goodbyes without warning.

After the two left, the queen could no longer hold back her anger.

"Find Andrew for me immediately, no, arrest him!"

The palace guards had never seen the queen so angry before, so they turned around and left without delay.

After leaving Buckingham Palace, Huo Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's in the document bag? Why did the queen get so angry?"

Li Yunfei shook his head, "I was only responsible for escorting, and I don't know what's inside."

"It's really curious." Huo Yan sighed.

Li Yunfei glanced at him and didn't say much.

——

After hanging up the phone, Xu Liang breathed a sigh of relief.

The gift has been delivered, and it depends on how the queen returns it.

Two slender white jade arms stretched out from behind to hug his thick waist.

Helen leaned her head on his broad back, and a strong sense of security spread from the bottom of her heart.

"Dear, don't put too much pressure on yourself. My child and I are always your biggest support."

Xu Liang nodded slightly, "Don't worry, I will win this time."

"I believe you."

Xu Liang turned around and hugged Helen in his arms, feeling the silent warmth of the beauty, and his heart was rarely calm.

After a long time.

Helen raised her head, her deep blue eyes looked up at the man in front of her, her eyes were full of admiration, even obsession.

"What are you looking at?"

"Dear, I think I really love you, the kind that is hopeless."

Xu Liang smiled and said, "Didn't you love me before?"

"Love, but more of it is benefit. But now it's different, only love."

Xu Liang smiled and touched her head.

"I believe you."

Pull her to sit aside.

"Has the integration of Netflix started?"

"Yes. We are currently merging the finances of both parties, and there will be some personnel adjustments next. In terms of business, Hastings is leading Netflix's R\u0026D department to develop video programs, which are expected to be officially launched in January or February next year."

"What about Facebook's Series B financing negotiations?"

"It has now reached the second round, and the remaining six include Citigroup, Chase, Goldman Sachs, Sequoia, JP Morgan and Merrill Lynch.

The highest bids are from Goldman Sachs and Citigroup.

They are both willing to give us a valuation of 20 billion US dollars."

Xu Liang nodded.

It is well known that Goldman Sachs likes to invest in the Internet, so it was hit hard during the Nasdaq crisis.

It has fallen from the second among the five major investment banks to the fourth, only slightly better than Bear Stearns, and even worse than Lehman.

It was only in the past two years that the Internet industry not only came out of the trough, but also flourished and became more and more popular, and finally suppressed Lehman and became the third.

But Goldman Sachs' habit of investing in the Internet has not changed.

Citigroup also likes to pursue high-risk and high-return projects. It suffered a heavy blow in the subprime mortgage crisis. If it hadn't been for the Federal Reserve to save it, it would have gone bankrupt eight hundred times.

"Two is still a little less." Xu Liang said.

"In fact, there are institutions that offer higher bids, such as DST from Russia, and the investment fund of the Li family in Hong Kong, especially DST. As long as we give 10% of the equity, they are willing to give Facebook a valuation of 22 billion US dollars." Helen said.

Xu Liang is not unfamiliar with DST. Its full name is 'Digital Sky Technology Investment Group'. The founder Yuri Milner is a Jew from the Bear Country.

DST, founded in 2005, became famous overnight with its investment in Facebook, and soon invested in all the major technology giants in Silicon Valley.

In 2011, Milner moved the company's headquarters from Russia to Hong Kong, and pulled Penguin on board.

With the background and connections of Penguin, DST has developed rapidly in China.

Alibaba, JD.com, Xiaomi, Didi, Toutiao, Meituan Dianping, etc. have all been acquired by it.

Before Xu Liang was reborn, DST relied on its strong capital and investment style of "paying a high price without any decision-making power" to conquer cities around the world.

In the past two decades, DST has invested in two companies with a market value of more than 400 billion US dollars - Facebook and Alibaba, and there are countless companies with valuations or market values ​​of tens of billions of US dollars.

In the art training company "New Dream" founded by Xu Liang in his previous life, DST was also among the financing shareholders, but the share was not large.

"Reject them, Facebook doesn't want money now." Xu Liang said.

Helen nodded.

Facebook's development has entered a bottleneck period. Compared with money, it is more important to have a major shareholder to protect it.

The two chatted for a while, and Helen left.
