In less than an hour, Xia Jingxing and Blankfein drew up a general framework for cooperation.

Both parties are looking forward to this cooperation, so the talks are very fast.

After negotiating the matter, Xia Jingxing did not linger, got up and shook hands with Blankfein, said a few words of farewell, then left the suite with Gates, and took the elevator to the reception site.

In the elevator car, Gates glanced at Xia Jingxing several times, but couldn't suppress his curiosity after all, and asked, "Daren, why did you ask Goldman Sachs to help you design and sell CDOs?"

Xia Jingxing knew that the quid pro quo he had proposed to Blankfant should arouse Gates' interest.

That's right, he deliberately mentioned it in front of Gates, and the purpose was naturally to arouse the curiosity of the old man Gates.

People often say that curiosity killed the cat, but this time he really didn't want to kill Gates, but was going to send a sum of money to the old man.

"We found a great investment opportunity and we're going to do it big."

Gates frowned, doesn't that mean he didn't say anything? What he wanted to ask was how to make money from CDOs.

Goldman Sachs laid out ring after ring for this investment in Facebook, and it was clear that it was going to make a lot of money. He couldn't believe that the young man beside him didn't see it.

On the other hand, Xia Jingxing proposed such a condition to Goldman Sachs.

Gates feels that this financial product may not be simple.

Because according to his understanding of Daren, this is not a person who is willing to suffer.

This financial product must contain some opportunity that he didn't understand or didn't see.

"Daren, tell me, if the opportunity is good, I will let Waterfall Investment apply for your fund."

Xia Jingxing was waiting for this sentence, and just about to introduce a few words to Gates, the elevator door opened.

"Let's talk about it later."

Gates could only nod his head, and followed Xia Jingxing out of the elevator.

The two returned to the scene of the reception.

The reception has come to an end at this time, and many people have left.

Summer Redstone, Ron Miller, Howard Stringer, Bob Wright, Barry Meyer and other five Hollywood giants have not yet left, they and Luo Li formed a small circle, talking and laughing.

From a long distance away, Lei Shidong smiled and waved to Xia Jingxing, inviting him to come over.

Seeing this scene, Gates patted Xia Jingxing's shoulder affectionately, and said with a smile, "Daren, you are doing well now. Silicon Valley, Hollywood, Wall Street, you are full of friends everywhere."

"Haha, maybe I am more willing to share, so I have many friends."

Gates grinned, he knew best how Xia Jingxing turned enemies into friends with this group of people.

Sometimes he admires the young man in front of him. He sees problems very deeply, and is especially good at leveraging strength to move capital.

The two walked towards Lei Shidong and the others together.

"Daren, Bill, the two of you came just in time. We are discussing the candidate for the CEO of Hulu Video."

When Lei Shidong opened his mouth, Xia Jingxing felt bad, don't be competing for the CEO candidate.

Gates asked: "Has the discussion been completed?"

"The two of you weren't there, so how could you have a good discussion."

An old white man with white beard and hair said in a somewhat teasing tone.

Xia Jingxing followed the voice and glanced over. The person speaking was Ron Miller, who was the CEO and chairman of the board of directors of Disney, and his other identity was the son-in-law of Walt Disney, the founder of the Disney company.

His father-in-law has been dead for 40 to 50 years, and this old man in his seventies is currently ruling the entire entertainment kingdom.

"I don't directly hold the equity of Hulu Video, everyone can discuss it with Luo Li."

Xia Jingxing didn't plan to take this muddy water. As he said, Youtube holds 15% of Hulu Video's shares, and he only holds less than half of Youtube's shares.

Originally, he held a total of 51.64% of the shares of Youtube,

After Gates invested more than $600 million, his stake was diluted to 46.48%.

After penetrating through the equity, he only holds less than 7% of the equity of Hulu Video.

With such a small benefit, he is not a hustle and bustle, so he is too lazy to devote himself to the Hulu video.

"Daren, your attitude is a bit negative. We have never seen you as an outsider."

The speaker was Howard Stringer, the CEO and chairman of Sony, a curly-haired white man in his sixties wearing glasses.

Although Sony is a Japanese company, it does as the Romans do and hired a white CEO.

This old man is indeed very capable. After joining Sony a few years ago, he developed Sony's music and movie business, which was on the verge of decadence, into Sony's current pillar industry.

Because of this, the old man became the first foreign CEO in Sony's history. In addition, the old man also took a Japanese name, ハワード? Stringa.

Xia Jingxing said with a smile: "I know, and I am also very grateful to all gentlemen for their trust in me, but after all, I don't directly hold shares in Hulu Video. If I get involved too much, it will seem a bit inappropriate."

"how come?"

Bob Wright, CEO of NBCUniversal, shook his head violently, "Daren, Hulu Video was proposed by you, and you are also the founder of Youtube. The opinion of several of us is that you should be the CEO of Hulu Video."

Xia Jingxing was a little surprised. He thought that several giants would use their brains for the position of CEO, but he didn't expect that these people would choose him as the CEO of Hulu Video.

Bob Wright smiled, "Daren, you may be surprised, but after we discussed it, we found that no one is more suitable for this position than you.

First of all, no matter which of our seven major shareholders appoints a CEO, it seems unfair.

You do not directly hold shares in Hulu Video, but you are the fairest candidate. "

Xia Jingxing thought for a while, and replied: "NBC Universal's parent company is General Motors. A company as big as General Motors has a lot of talents, and it doesn't directly hold shares in Hulu Video. Maybe choose a CEO from General Motors."

Bob Wright smiled, "Daren, you don't have to refuse, anyway, we think you are the most suitable."

"I still have an investment company to manage, and there are many industries in China, so I don't have enough resources to be the CEO."

At this time Xia Jingxing also realized that these old men were not joking, but serious, so he refused very resolutely.

He guessed in his heart that the reason why these people are not fighting for power and profit now must be because Hulu Video has not yet been born, and its value has not been fully demonstrated, so there is no need to fight.

And he, the tool man in the eyes of these capitalists, is going to let him complete the process of Hulu Video from zero to one.

After Hulu Video develops, it will be time for him to retire honorably.

So what did he get? got nothing.

Moreover, many of his own wholly-owned sons can't take care of him, so how can he take care of such godsons.

This CEO must never do it.

Warner's CEO Barry Meyer saw Xia Jingxing's firm refusal and said with some displeasure: "Daren, Hulu Video is our shared industry, and it is also a cornerstone of our cooperation. If we push each other, how will this website develop?

We don't need you to work for too long, so let's do it for a year first, and after the Hulu video is built, we will find someone to replace you.

Of course, if you want to continue working, we also support it! "

Saying that, Barry Meyer also looked at the others. Except for Gates and Luo Li, the heads of the other four giants nodded.

Xia Jingxing said in his heart, the fox's tail has finally been exposed, and after working for a year to find someone to replace him, this is to use him as a tool man.

He has successful experience and experience in building oil pipelines. Even if he becomes a professional manager, he will definitely be a favorite. It is not surprising that these people chose him and think about it carefully.

"Is there any management option? Isn't it too much to design a 20% option pool?"

Xia Jingxing said while looking at the group of old men around him.

"Daren, the website is not online yet, so it's too early to talk about option incentives."

"Yes, don't worry, let's talk about it after it develops."

...

The old men avoided Xia Jingxing's gaze and muttered.

It's not that they are reluctant to issue options, but that once the option pool is established, the company's fragile balance may be broken.

Xia Jingxing said unhappily: "No matter what, I am also a billionaire worth billions of dollars. He wants to hire me as the CEO, but the salary is not enough. I can't let me give in vain."

The old men didn't speak, their faces were embarrassed.

In the end, they didn't want to change the shareholding structure, but they also wanted to use Xia Jingxing to make this platform a good one.

Not to mention how good it is, if you can reach the level of YouTube, that is blood money.

Gates said with a smile: "Everyone, don't embarrass Darren. With his current status, he is really inferior to the position of Hulu Video CEO, and he doesn't have so much time and energy.

How about this, I called some people from Microsoft to help build the Hulu video earlier, what do you think? "

"Will this be too much trouble?"

"Otherwise, let's recruit teams outside, and our shareholders will not interfere."

"Yes, I also think this is more reasonable."

...

Not surprisingly, Gates' proposal was rejected.

Xia Jingxing watched coldly from the sidelines. He had expected this to happen. The shareholding structure was decided, and Hulu Video would face all kinds of wrangling.

If Hulu Video develops better and better, this kind of intrigue will only increase.

So he basically doesn't have any hope for Hulu Video, just let nature take its course, what kind of development it can develop depends on his own luck.

Several shareholders debated for a while, and finally reached a consensus. Hulu Video recruited all teams from outside, and none of the shareholders were employed.

Xia Jingxing thought about it for a while, and felt that this was good and could avoid many problems, so he asked Luo Li to vote for it.

In addition, Xia Jingxing still did not escape, and the old men insisted on letting him serve as the strategic advisor of Hulu Video, offering advice and suggestions to the company.

He also agreed, because it is still a honeymoon period with several giants, and it is necessary to maintain a stable relationship.
