Chapter 161 Big Pumpkin Cart
I have to say that the middle-aged woman is indeed a little short-sighted, but there are many smart people in this world who have long-term vision.
New York, a skyscraper, luxurious office floor. This is the headquarters of Pumpkin Company.
Henry and the others moved, and this place was given by some mysterious person.
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"
There was a knock on the president's office. In an instant, the secretary walked in.
"Sir, someone wants to see you! From Japan!"
What? Japan?!
Henry, who was busy with work, looked up at his secretary in confusion.
"Son Son, Chairman and Executive President of SoftBank Venture Capital!"
Hearing this, Henry suddenly stood up with a look of surprise on his face.
It was him! The richest man in Japan was once known as the emperor of the electronics era. He had a long-term vision and a vicious investment style. If he didn't take action, he would just squander money.
More than 10 years ago, Alibaba in China was still in the early stages of his business. He only talked with Jack Ma for 6 minutes and invested 35 million US dollars.
This person’s choice in the venture capital field has amazed the world.
"Come on your behalf!" Henry shouted.
A moment later, under the enthusiasm of the secretary, an old Asian man walked into the office.
"Mr. Sun, please sit down!"
"Thanks!"
After some politeness, the two sat down on the sofa in the office. At this time, the secretary brought coffee and then closed the door and left.
"Mr. Sun, what's the matter with you?"
Masayoshi Son smiled and said, "I want to invest in Pumpkin Company for $5 million!"
What? 5 million?
Henry was frightened, of course not because of this number, but because of the meaning behind this sentence.
"Mr. Sun, you should know that the subscription amount of each equity of our Pumpkin Company must not exceed 1,000 yuan. If you want to invest 5 million, you will need at least 5,000 people, and they are real people."
"Mr. Sun, do you have so many people?"
After the sound came to an end, Masayoshi Son laughed heartily. After a moment, the laughter stopped and he spoke with a solemn expression:
"SoftBank Group has many companies around the world. Today, its headquarters issued a notice to all its employees: each person must donate $1,000 to Pumpkin Company."
"Of course, the expenses are reimbursed by our SoftBank Group."
Henry was shocked when he heard this arrangement.
Damn, it’s amazing to have a lot of people, and a simple order will be 5,000 people.
At this time, Masayoshi Son said again: "I came here today to go to the President's ward, and I hope that we will not stash our group's funds at that time."
Henry nodded and replied solemnly: "Don't worry, Mr. Sun, as long as he does not violate the Fed's orders and does not violate the warnings of the Watermelon Alliance, there will be no problem with any funds."
Hearing Henry's assurance, Masayoshi Son breathed a sigh of relief, then stood up and extended his friendly right hand to the other party.
"Thank you, Mr. President!"
"You're welcome, Mr. Sun!" Henry also reached out and held the other party, "But Mr. Sun, I have a doubt to ask."
"Please say it!"
"I am frank, the establishment of the Pumpkin Company is just that the little prodigy wants to raise money to build a pumpkin cart for his sister Alice, and it is not really about to open a company. Why are you SoftBank..."
Henry didn't continue to say the following words, but Masayoshi Son understood.
He pondered for a few seconds before speaking: "I know this pumpkin company is not profitable. After all, for your US government, they are reluctant to let prodigy develop towards toy manufacturers."
Henry nodded and listened to the following.
"This time, SoftBank is not coming for the profits of Pumpkin Company, but is optimistic about the future of the little prodigy. When he becomes an adult, he will definitely shine."
I see.
SoftBank is not investing in companies, but investing in child prodigy!
"Thank you Mr. Sun for your answer."
"You're welcome! Goodbye, Mr. President!"
"goodbye!"
...
Not only commercial companies are doing this, but intelligence departments in various countries are also using the same methods.
They didn't want to make money, they really didn't want to.
All countries just want to leave a friendly impression in the heart of the genius prodigy through this incident. After all, all the list of equity holders will be announced on the official website this time.
If you want to build a pumpkin cart, we have helped you, so don’t “roll watermelons” all over the world in the future. In addition, when you grow up, you will have any good inventions and things, remember to think of us.
We are your good friends too!
In short, all countries have the same meaning, and the people have the same meaning.
White House.
When they learned about the development of the incident, the President and the senior officials were both amused and crying.
Damn, he actually bypassed the Federal Reserve's order and the warning of the Watermelon Alliance.
"Forget it, forget it, let's find another way to deal with the rail gun. If you continue to stalemate with the little guy, maybe he will get angry again." President Obama chuckled.
Everyone nodded.
"By the way, how much has he raised now?"
Hearing this, the assistant quickly stood up and replied: "More than 98 million!"
What?
Everyone's eyes widened, and their eyes were almost falling out.
Damn, how soon will it take to reach 100 million?
"3 days!"
Everyone was speechless, and a burst of depression arose in their hearts.
What are you depressed? Of course, it is depressing that countries are still thinking about the genius prodigy who win over them.
These are the best!
"Call the Pumpkin CEO and ask him to stop raising funds, and the rest will be sent from the White House. So the little guy will blame us for not helping us in the future."
"Yes, Mr. President!"
After the assistant received the order, he immediately left the conference room and went to make arrangements.
After he left, President Obama turned to Hughes and asked:
"Huareus, what are your Watermelon Alliance planning?"
Hughes looked depressed at this moment. What else can he do now? You can't freeze the Pumpkin Company account, that little guy is not making a fuss.
Forget it, he wants to make it!
Completely build it early and return to the main business early.
At this moment, the assistant suddenly ran back and said loudly:
"Gentlemen, I just got the news: the little guy gave half of his 50% stake to Miss Alice."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned and then burst into laughter.
That naughty little guy really plans to build a pumpkin cart to sell, right?
Selling toys or cars?
At this moment, the big guys had no idea what the pumpkin cart Ike was going to build represented.
It's not a toy, nor a car!
But the star rating...
At this time, Hughes said with an embarrassed look: "Set some technicians to help him, otherwise I really suspect that the things he made will fall apart."
As soon as these words came out, the audience burst into laughter again.
President Obama was almost laughing and hurting his stomach. While laughing, he ordered his assistant:
"You can stay here for two days, and come back after the arrangement is made."
The assistant also laughed and replied:
"Yes, Mr. President!"
After saying that, the assistant left immediately. He will fly to MIT to help the little guy coordinate the staff and purchase materials.
Sitting on the plane, the presidential assistant suddenly thought of a question:
What size pumpkin cart does that little guy want to build?
Could it be that big a truck?
Could it be that the house is that big?
It won't be...(To be continued.)
