Chapter 1 After Dinner

Su's father left with the second mistress.

The Pengcheng Sihai International Cultural Tourism City project was busy, and the Mide Group, which had just been financed, was also busy. Since shifting the company's business focus to the north, Su's father had been frequently traveling back and forth, but his energy was much better than before.

Of course.

It might also be because the third and fourth mistresses had successively left, allowing this little old man to catch his breath and cultivate his mind.

With a sufficient foundation, business matters weren't too busy. If he wanted to slack off, he could always pass the work to others, with the boss responsible for keeping an eye on things.

Before leaving.

Su's father said that he would transfer 300 million RMB from the Mide Group to Su Yehao first, operating it under the guise of wealth management investment. This sneaky move was unexpected by Su Yehao.

It was equivalent to a temporary loan, and the interest that should be paid would still have to be given, so it wouldn't be considered taking advantage of the Mide Group. It would also have to be repaid in a timely manner later.

As long as the interest exceeded the bank deposit interest, the shareholders wouldn't be able to find fault. Anyway, it had already been agreed to establish an investment department, and the only variable was increasing the amount from 200 million RMB to 300 million RMB.

With the further deepening of the Mide Group's restructuring and reform, Su's father's say increased, and it wasn't difficult to operate.

He took Yin Liuli, who had left work early, to her apartment to rest.

During this time, Su Yehao asked her, "How do you feel? Is the big rock weighing on your heart gone? I told you my dad is quite easy to deal with, as long as you don't mess around. Now, he generally won't control me."

Yin Liuli nodded, satisfied, and said, "Very good. I thought your dad, as a big boss, would be very serious. I didn't expect him to have such a good temper. You talked to him like that, and he didn't even beat you."

"..."

Su Yehao rolled his eyes at her, and said with a smile:

"It's definitely different at home than outside. Others are still very afraid of my dad. Anyway, just live your life steadily. If we have children in the future, then let my parents, second mistress, and others give the child red envelopes, and write their name as a beneficiary of the family charitable trust fund. There shouldn't be any problem. Spreading the branches and leaves has always been the top priority troubling my parents and grandfather."

"...Let's wait a little longer. If we have children, the changes in life will definitely be very big. I don't feel ready yet."

Yin Liuli changed the subject and asked him, "How long will you stay in Casino? Are you going to the United States to work on a big deal? I heard you mention it to your dad just now. I've also tried using iCQ, but it's really not as good as the tAt chat software. The features aren't as rich as your product."

"Yeah, but it developed early, and it has a lot of users. I'm going back to the United States tomorrow. The negotiations need to be personally monitored. If I can acquire it, I'll be able to control the world's largest social communication market. Then, don't even mention giving you handbags and clothes. Even buying those luxury goods manufacturers won't be a problem. It's just a splash of water."

Su Yehao was particularly relaxed at the moment. Adding everything up, he could scrape together more than 400 million US dollars.

In other words, even if the initial negotiations with iCQ's shareholders don't go smoothly, facing competition from America Online, he has the confidence to leave over 100 million US dollars for price increases based on the 330 million US dollar offer, giving him a chance to snatch food from America Online's tiger's mouth.

Looking at it from another perspective, once the acquisition is really completed, the suppression that iCQ is currently facing from America Online will shift to Su Yehao.

He wouldn't dare to say he was completely ready, but since he wanted to grow bigger and stronger, he always had to try to break through difficulties...

He first took a bath after getting home.

After changing to a large apartment and replacing the wooden bed, there was less creaking.

In the middle of the night, after Yin Liuli fell asleep, Su Yehao, whose jet lag hadn't been adjusted, called to book a private jet and sent three text messages to Little Nizi in a row, asking her if she wanted to go shopping in Silicon Valley together. If she wanted to go, she should come to Casino early tomorrow and meet directly at the airport.

He fell asleep at four in the morning and was woken up by Little Nizi's call at eight o'clock. She was already waiting at the airport in Casino.

Sleepy-eyed, Su Yehao hurriedly washed up, ate breakfast, and went out to the airport without much chatting with Yin Liuli.

Casino is a small place, and it's only a few minutes' drive from the apartment to the airport.

On the way.

Su Yehao first checked to make sure that he didn't have any perfume or kiss marks on him. In addition, he called John Zhou and asked him to contact the maids in the new house and ask them to carefully check the house and put away all the things about Nong Qingying.

It was obvious that he was a habitual offender, and finally, he deleted all call records and text messages.

This time, accompanied by Nangong Tian, he happily boarded the plane to the United States. It was still the private business jet from the previous two days, and it was still the familiar crew.

When the flight attendant saw that Su Yehao had changed the person next to him, she had a faint smile on her lips. She had long been accustomed to this. In her job, what kind of guests hadn't she seen? This was already considered normal. As for the abnormal ones... let's just say that every seat in the cabin had been contaminated. Some people just liked to go to heaven to find excitement, and they didn't hesitate to spend a lot of money to rent a business jet.

Every long flight is a torture.

Compared with ordinary airliners, the Gulfstream business jet is already considered comfortable, with less turbulence, less noise, and more spacious activity space.

They stopped again in Alaska, and after resting, went straight to San Francisco. Not getting enough sleep at night also had its advantages. Su Yehao slept for a full six hours in the air this time.

When they arrived at the mansion in Atherton, Silicon Valley, even the always active Little Nizi was listless and too lazy to check out the house that Hao-ge had just bought. After a cursory glance, she felt that she liked it.

It was Monday local time, and he wouldn't meet with iCQ's shareholders until tomorrow.

After a short rest, he first completed all the house registration and handover procedures. In addition, he also met with Adrian of McKinsey at home to talk in advance.

According to the information Adrian had gathered, iCQ's shareholders had already held a meeting with the employees, but more of the management supported being acquired by America Online. They felt that their income would be guaranteed and their benefits would be better.

Comparing tvt with America Online, it does seem ordinary and not very popular.

Whether to sell or not mainly depends on the attitude of the shareholders. After all, Su Yehao's offer is 10 million US dollars higher than America Online's, so the shareholders are more supportive of selling the company to Su Yehao.

Considering the potential employee turnover and other issues after taking over, Su Yehao put forward the plan to find a way to list iCQ in advance, because to be listed on Nasdaq, the number of shareholders must meet the standard of three hundred people, which means that he can justifiably launch a stock option plan.

After the conversation, Adrian was immediately relieved. For iCQ's current employees, getting company shares is undoubtedly a great weapon that can win their support.

Once the shareholders and employees reach an agreement, the subsequent acquisition plan will be smoother, which will facilitate the realization of the idea of merging the two companies.

That night.

Su Yehao first took Little Nizi for a walk around Stanford University.

They were still young, and walking on campus was not out of place at all. As a representative of the second-rate university's counterattack, Stanford's campus is very large and quite beautiful.

After a long journey, they were really tired. After a simple meal, they went home to rest early.

At more than four o'clock in the morning local time, Su Yehao woke up again and sat in front of the computer to check the emails sent by Adrian and continue to prepare for the negotiations.

Suddenly remembering his multi-account, he opened the account to check it.

He didn't know until he looked at it, and he was shocked.

Cisco Systems released its first-quarter financial report this year and predicted that second-quarter profits would increase further. The stock price soared by 17.3% in a single day, and the option value increased by more than 40 million US dollars in a single day. A private business jet was already in hand, and the extra money could buy three mansions under his feet...
