My Age of Investment

  Chapter 1584 Not serving anymore

  Things developed as expected by Liu Hai. The sudden incident of the IRS’s grand visit to Building 40 on Wall Street quickly ignited public opinion in the United States, and also pushed the conflict and wrestling behind the incident to a new climax.

The first to stand up to the fire was still an old friend of Vision Capital—the financial mouthpiece of News Corporation, the "Wall Street Journal", and gave the hotly released news a sensational headline "Black Gold Capital Empire in Fraud Scandal, This Time Again If you are targeted by the IRS, you will face more than tens of billions of dollars in tax recovery and fines.”

  Other financial media and even social media also reported related news, but the headlines were far less explicit and ambiguous than the Wall Street Journal, and the words used mostly used conservative words such as "maybe" and "possible".

  However, due to the vicious name of the IRS and the huge amount involved in the tax dispute, the news spread rapidly and spread to the Internet platform.

   As a top technology rich and financial tycoon, Darren Xia still enjoys a high reputation in the United States, but because he is not an American, let alone a white man, he has had mixed reputations in the early years.

Later, because of his illegitimate child and various scandals, fewer and fewer Americans praised and admired him. On the contrary, middle and lower-class white people increasingly hated this American who came from the other side of the ocean to make money for them. Outsiders who sleep with their American chicks.

   Therefore, when the two incidents of SEC fraud allegations and IRS tax evasion allegations broke out together, it completely annoyed white conservatives whose lives have become more and more difficult due to the financial crisis in recent years.

  They gathered on Xia Jingxing’s Facebook and Twitter accounts to abuse, and some people expressed that they would boycott the revival mobile phone, and even proposed to set up a website, calling on all the people whose interests have been damaged in the financial crisis to go to Wall Street to perform street art...

  Xia Jingxing didn't know if this incident would continue to develop and become the trigger for the "Occupy Wall Street" movement, but he still clearly felt a kind of pressure.

  The shipments of ZTE mobile phones and tablets in the US market are falling all the way!

  The law firm that has cooperated for many years suddenly changed its tone and proposed to settle with the SEC!

  The spokesperson of the IRS also said in an interview with reporters: We will severely crack down on tax evasion and will not let any "criminals" go!

  …

  Facing the overwhelming accusations, Xia Jingxing's business empire directly under the United States began to become precarious for a while, only Facebook, YouTube and other industries that had been cut off early were not greatly affected.

Under the huge pressure of public opinion, Xia Jingxing never showed up to accept media interviews, and the last tweet and post on his social account remained in the last month. In the eyes of many middle- and lower-class Americans, this naturally became a guilty conscience. a performance.

  Of course, this scene fell in the eyes of another part of the upper-class nobles, which is a particularly calm performance.

   Hiding in the pleasant town of Greenwich to watch the development of the situation, Xia Jingxing was actually not too lonely, after all, there was Ivanka who played games with him every day.

By the pool in the backyard of the villa, Xia Jingxing was resting on Ivanka's lap, basking lazily in the sun, eating the delicious fruit that Ivanka fed to his mouth, chatting with Gates on the other end of the phone sky.

   "Daeron, it's almost enough! If the matter continues to turmoil, it will never end!"

  Xia Jingxing said with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, in a calm tone: "Bill, teach me, what should I do now?

   First pay hundreds of millions of dollars to reach a settlement with the SEC, and then wait for banks and insurance institutions from France, Germany, Italy and other countries to come to blackmail in groups?

   Give them back all the euros they lost at the poker table?

   Don't forget, all these euros were converted into dollars and went to each of you. "

  "The matter is not as serious as you said. Now you just need to settle the SEC. Listen to my advice and give them a step down. It is good for you, me, and everyone.

   Do you really want to sue the SEC?

  I know that you have settled Blankfein and sealed Fabrice's mouth, but you must not underestimate the power of the SEC. Anyone who tries to provoke this behemoth will not end well. "

   "Can I understand this sentence as a threat?" Xia Jingxing put away the smile on his face, and his tone became cold.

   "You can also understand it as advice from a friend."

  Xia Jingxing smiled slightly, "What benefits did they give you? Is it as much as ten billion dollars?"

  The other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds, and then said: "Daren, I personally have no opinion on the revenue sharing model of Vision Capital, and the performance of your fund in the past few years is fully worthy of this fee.

  But I am alone, I cannot represent everyone..."

   "Bill, I'm tired. In the past few years, I not only have to face the swords and swords in the financial market, but also carefully deal with the intrigues within the fund. What do you think it means for me to persist?"

  Gates let out a treacherous laugh: "Daren, don't say these words, because we are very clear to each other about the speed at which Vision Capital makes money.

   To put it bluntly, I have struggled for half my life, but the result is that I have not earned as much as you have earned in a few years.

  So easy to let go? This trick of yours is too easy to be seen through.

   In addition, let me advise you again, there is no way to go forward bravely in the market, and compromise is always indispensable!

   Compromise earlier means that you can make money happily again earlier. "

   "But the money is hot! It's better to sell my mobile phone honestly."

   "If you don't give them a satisfactory answer, I'm afraid you won't be able to sell the phone honestly."

   "What do you mean? You want to kill me?"

  Xia Jingxing sneered, "Don't forget, Vision Capital also holds a large number of equity interests in Chinese start-up companies, including future giants such as Ari and Hainei Holdings."

   "Daren, no one wants to get to that point, it's a lose-lose outcome."

   "Then you give me a win-win solution!"

   "According to a settlement with the SEC, the IRS charges will then be dropped, and all public opinion against you will be suppressed.

  Whether it is trouble from Europe or from the United States, they promise to do their best to solve it for you. "

   "What are promises? Ass paper?"

  Xia Jingxing had a disdainful expression on his face. If those people had really kept their promises, the SEC fraud charges would not have happened at all, and they might have been quickly snuffed out as soon as they appeared.

   "Daeron, now is not the time to be arrogant, I am sincerely considering for you..."

  Maybe Gates also felt that this was a bit hypocritical, and quickly added another sentence: "Of course I was thinking about myself! For Waterfall Investment, losing Envision Capital is like Microsoft losing its Windows system."

   "Okay, I accept your offer, but I still stick to my decision."

   Facing Xia Jingxing, who would not take hard and soft words, Gates no longer had a good temper, and said angrily, "Do you really want to fight against the entire United States with one person?"

   "Can they represent the whole of America?"

  Xia Jingxing wanted to say this at first, but he swallowed the words, because those people can really represent the United States in a sense, at least they can influence the SEC and IRS.

   "The matter has developed to this point, and some losses are already irreparable."

  Gates interrupted: "But there's no real harm, is there?"

   "I'm almost becoming the number one villain in America, isn't this a kind of harm?"

   "They can make you the most popular person in America if you want."

  Xia Jingxing sneered, "Come on, although the people at the bottom are stupid, they are not so stupid. My original bright and positive image has been completely ruined by the public opinion these days.

   This is a disaster for technology entrepreneurs like us who attach great importance to the creation of personal IP and human design, and the loss is incalculable!

  You tell those people for me that the foundation will return all the money to them next month, and it’s up to them to vote for Buffett or Soros in the future. I won’t serve them anyway. "

   "Daeron, the consequences of not serving may be a bit serious, beyond your imagination."

Hearing Gates' gloomy voice, Xia Jingxing couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore, a beautiful carp sat up straight on Ivanka's lap, and replied in a blunt tone: "Then everyone will fight together." The net of death is broken."

   After finishing speaking, Xia Jingxing rudely hung up the phone without waiting for Gates to reply, and casually threw it aside.

Then, still angry, he squinted at Ivanka, who "witnessed the whole process of him beating Gates", and found that the latter was leaning on his chin with both hands, looking at him with starry eyes, as if he had already been slapped by him. The air's "resentment" has been conquered.

  The evil fire in his chest hadn't completely faded away, and Xia Jingxing, who was still moving down his body rapidly, planned to **** someone off again, so he gave Ivanka a vicious look, "Kneel down!"
