My Age of Investment

Seeing that Xia Jingxing didn't take what he and Sohu had done in the past to heart at all and seemed very generous, Charles stopped trying too much and started to get straight to the point and talk about Sogou.

"Sogou's market share and status don't seem to be enough to compete with Qianxun, right? Does it make sense for you to buy it?" Charles looked at Xia Jingxing with a puzzled expression.

"Qianxun has started to get involved in the online video industry, can I still remain indifferent?"

Xia Jingxing's answer made Charles feel unsatisfied and felt that the other party was hiding something.

When it comes to online videos, Sohu also has Sohu Video.

Charles soon felt something was wrong. Did the other party not take his Sohu video seriously? Just regard the kiwi video as the enemy.

Thinking of this, Charles felt a little aggrieved, but he didn't want to get angry, so he had to skip this topic.

"Darren, Wang Xiaochuan told me everything. I struggled for a long time before I decided to contact you."

Looking at Charles with a serious face, Xia Jingxing nodded slightly, "I know Sogou is your heartthrob, and I hope to build it into the third listed company of the Sohu family.

I have no other choice, so I found you. I hope you can bear the pain and give up my love to help us. "

This was what Charles was waiting for. He smiled and waved his hand, "It's not that outrageous. Why do you have to bear the pain and give up? In my opinion, Sogou is definitely more valuable in your hands than in mine."

When he heard the word "value", Xia Jingxing knew that he couldn't be kind today, because Charles had already sharpened his knife and was ready to kill him severely.

"So, you agree to sell all the shares?" Xia Jingxing turned against Charles.

Charles was no longer a novice in the business world, so he started talking very seasonedly, "I can't make the decision, there is a board of directors above.

At the beginning of this century, those people almost kicked me out of the company, saying that I did not do my job well and failed to create profits for the company, causing the stock price to slump. "

Xia Jingxing chuckled, "Then let them be satisfied. How about a premium of 10?"

Charles said nothing, picked up the teapot on the table, first poured a cup of tea for Xia Jingxing, and then poured another cup for himself.

Xia Jingxing cursed in his heart, but still smiled on his face and continued: "In this way, the premium is 10 per month. The last round of financing was in August, and it has been two months, and the premium is 20."

Charles finally spoke, "Darren, we have been friends for so many years. Let me tell you. When Ahri and Yunfeng Fund invested in Sogou, they considered the resources behind their two institutions."

Xia Jingxing didn't say anything. He picked up the tea on the table and took a silent sip.

Charles added: "Let's just look at the friendship between us. I won't mention any premium. Let's just use Sogou's true valuation."

After saying that, Charles glanced at Xia Jingxing and saw that the other person's expression remained unchanged. He simply reported a figure: "Based on the valuation of US$300 million, you can take all the equity I hold and that held by Sohu."

Xia Jingxing gently put down the teacup, smiled and said, "Okay, that's the price!"

After saying that, Xia Jingxing scolded Charles ten thousand times in his heart. In just two months, Sogou's valuation had doubled. Charles personally invested US$24 million in Sogou and could get back US$48 million. This business has been destroyed by this The old boy did it

However, it is generally in line with his psychological expectations. Spending an extra one to two hundred million US dollars is nothing.

Compared with Charles, who readily sold Sogou 84 shares in one go, Chen Congwu and He Xiaopeng, who were the first to relent, were not so clean and tidy.

After coming out of Club America, Xia Jingxing got in the car and was about to go back to the company to check on WeChat when he suddenly received a call from his mother.

"Hey, Mom, what's wrong?"

"What's wrong! Where are you now? Come to the hospital quickly. My favorite baby is about to give birth.

Didn't I tell you, couldn't you put aside the work at hand?

Hey, I'm talking to you, do you hear me? "

Xia Jingxing held the phone blankly, then burst into ecstasy, "Okay, okay, I'll be at the hospital right away."

"Oh, by the way, her father is also here. Think about how to explain it to her.

Her father was quite polite to me, but I didn’t know what he was thinking. "

Xia Jingxing was stunned for a moment, then said calmly: "Okay, I understand."

After saying that, Xia Jingxing hung up the phone and told Zhang Chenguang to drive quickly, while he sat in the back seat and was alone in a daze.

Soon, the car drove to Union Hospital. Xia Jingxing hurriedly got out of the car, then ran upstairs to the door of the delivery room.

A middle-aged man of medium build and well-groomed hair was pacing at the door, looking very anxious.

Xia Jingxing recognized at a glance that this was Shen Xinyi's father, Shen Ziang, the only person he hated in his previous life.

Seeing this person now, Xia Jingxing felt a little complicated.

Shen Ziang also saw Xia Jingxing running all the way, his hair and clothes a little messy.

He has known about Xia Jingxing for a long time, since his daughter went to Facebook to work part-time.

After that, Shen Xinyi started her own business, and he slowly paid less attention to Xia Jingxing.

The year before last, his daughter returned to work in China, and he was happy for a while.

But when he learned that his daughter was pregnant some time ago, he became very unhappy. He asked his daughter who the child was, but her daughter refused to tell him. In desperation, he came to the capital to investigate in person.

Through Zhang Yuqiong's mouth, Shen Ziang understood everything. When he saw Xia Jingxing, his eyes were a little complicated.

However, he quickly put on a smiling face and walked towards Xia Jingxing, "Are you Xiao Xia?"

Xia Jingxing nodded and asked, "Are you your favorite father?"

Shen Ziang noticed that Xia Jingxing's attitude towards him was a little indifferent. He guessed that Xia Jingxing might have the same prejudice against him as his daughter, so he didn't pay much attention to it. He started talking to Xia Jingxing: "This child hides everything from me, even the fact that he is pregnant with me." She doesn’t even know, but fortunately your mother takes care of her!”

Xia Jingxing smiled and said, "That's right. What I wanted to tell you was that Xinyi stopped me."

Seeing a trace of loneliness flash across Shen Ziang's face, Xia Jingxing felt an unspeakable joy in his heart.

Things between him and Shen Xinyi were very complicated. Although Shen Ziang was out to protect his daughter, he did not harm his own daughter, and at the same time, it also set him on a path of no return in starting a business.

Time has passed and he has let go of many things, but he still doesn't have any good feelings for Shen Ziang.

Shen Ziang also noticed Xia Jingxing's "malice" towards him, and felt even more unhappy.

However, as a father, he still wanted to lose face and talk to Xia Jingxing.

"Xiaoxia, when do you plan to marry your beloved?"

Shen Ziang looked straight at Xia Jingxing. Due to the development of the media, it was no secret in China that Xia Jingxing had a mixed-race son. It was also no news that he had an affair with Yin Fanka, the daughter of a New York real estate tycoon.

Xia Jingxing seemed to have guessed that Shen Ziang would ask this question, and said calmly: "This matter is a bit complicated, and I can't explain it clearly in a sentence or two.

Not only organizational approval is required, but the U.S. response also needs to be considered. "

Shen Ziang was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that Xia Jingxing was trying to push the envelope, but when he thought of Xia Jingxing's identity and status, he was speechless because he didn't know exactly what kind of mission Xia Jingxing had. If you can't find out, this may be a state secret.

Because of Xia Jingxing’s emergence, China’s development situation in many technology industries and related industrial chains such as smartphones, new energy vehicles, semiconductors, and panels has been very good in recent years. It is difficult to say that it has not been authorized by the highest level. After all, these industries are very important to the current situation. It is very important to China and can be called a technological revolution in a new era.

Shen Ziang held it in for a long time and finally said: "To do big things, you still need to get married and start a career."

Xia Jingxing didn't say anything, he just wanted to make this old guy angry.

While the two were chatting awkwardly, they heard the crisp sound of a baby crying from inside the room. Then the door opened, and a fully armed doctor leaned out and announced the good news to the two with a smile.

As soon as they heard that the child was born, the two people rushed to open the door and squeeze in.

In the end, Xia Jingxing gave in and let Shen Ziang go first while he followed behind him.

The two people hurriedly entered the room and found that the nurse was cutting the umbilical cord of a wet meat ball.

On the other side, Zhang Yuqiong held Shen Xinyi's hand tightly and chatted with her in a low voice. Basically, Zhang Yuqiong was talking and Shen Xinyi was listening, because the latter looked very weak, as if he had been fished out of the water. , hair was all wet with sweat, lips turned white.

Seeing Xia Jingxing, Shen Xinyi smiled at him and said weakly: "I'm fine. Go and see the little tiger. I haven't even seen what he looks like."

Xia Jingxing smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll see him again after he's cleaned up. He's very dirty now."

With that said, Xia Jing walked over and gently grabbed Shen Xinyi's hand, then took the hot towel handed over by the nurse and carefully wiped the sweat on her forehead.

The two of them only had eyes for each other, leaving Zhang Yuqiong and Shen Ziang aside.

Zhang Yuqiong was fine. Seeing the two of them loving each other so much, she felt relieved a lot.

Shen Ziang was a little embarrassed because his daughter didn't even say hello to him.
