The sky outside the window gradually turned from pitch black to dark gray. Dawn has arrived, and the sunlight will completely drive away the darkness.
Zach lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling with his eyes open. He stayed up all night.
Yesterday, he met a Mr. Chen from Fidelity Investment Company in Hong Kong. He was a Chinese, to be precise, a Chinese, and he had the same surname as his Chinese girlfriend. This also made Zach think about this Mr. Chen. A touch more intimacy.
After that, they talked about investment matters. Hong Kong Fidelity Investment Company expressed its willingness to invest US$1.5 million in FB and requested 35% of FB shares. After hearing this request, Zach immediately refused. I want 35% of FB shares for a mere $1.5 million. What a joke!
Zach almost left in a hurry, but then another condition offered by the other party made Zach excited. Fidelity Investment expressed its willingness to accept Class A shares, which meant that they could give up voting rights on the board of directors! Give up on future decisions!
The voting rights of Class A shares are only one-tenth of those of Class B shares. Even if it is 35% of Class A shares, the final voting rights are only 3.5%. At the same time, the emergence of Class A shares will also reduce the voting rights of Class B shares. increase, so Zach can still fully control everything in FB with his own holding.
But this is not over. Mr. Chen from Fidelity Investment once again said that he can sign an equity proxy voting agreement with Zach. This means that for the shares controlled by Fidelity Investment in the future, the final voting rights will also be fully entrusted to Zach. gram.
According to this plan, although his equity in FB will be greatly diluted, his voting rights in the future board of directors will not be reduced, but will be increased.
1.5 million US dollars is equivalent to the salary of the President of the United States for one term. With this 1.5 million US dollars, he not only hired good lawyers to fight the lawsuit, but also purchased several sets of servers, hired several employees, and expanded FB's business across the United States! At that time, FB will no longer be just a social network for college students to communicate, but will be used across the United States.
The control of FB is Zack's weakness. The conditions of Fidelity Investment hit this weakness of Zack by introducing funds. FB is able to survive and develop, but Zack still controls FB. This is very important to Zack at present. This is the best result. Even if Zack feels that 35% of the shares is indeed a bit much, he still has difficulty resisting the temptation of the US$1.5 million.
The two voices of agreeing and not agreeing were constantly fighting in Zach's mind, as if they were angels and demons. All night long, Zach tried to make a decision.
Until dawn, Zach finally sat up. He had decided to agree to Fidelity Investment's request. For Zach, although the shareholding ratio had been reduced, control of FB was still in his hands.
At this time, Zach suddenly felt much more relaxed. He came to the computer and started browsing the latest news.
""Olympic 100-meter top three teams gather in Japan", Zach subconsciously clicked on this news headline, which introduced the Yokohama Track and Field All-Star Game. There is also a voting survey at the end. The item is who do you think will win the 100-meter championship in the Yokohama All-Star Games.
Zach gave Gatlin a vote without hesitation. In the voting results that were subsequently displayed, Gatlin and Green both received more than 40% of the votes, while Zhang Guan's vote rate was less than 100%. Ten out of ten.
"It seems that everyone, like me, is not optimistic about this Olympic champion!" Zach leaned back in his chair: "Asians have never achieved world-class achievements in sprint events. This Chinese is probably just a flash in the pan! "
…
Japan, Tokyo.
In the office of the Undersecretary for Foreign Affairs, the Undersecretary is receiving Keikazu Kobayashi, the head coach of the Japanese track and field team.
"Your Excellency, Deputy Minister, this track and field all-star event is a good opportunity for our Japanese athletes to communicate with world-class athletes. Although our track and field level in Japan is currently the top in Asia, it is lower than that of European, American and even African countries. There is a big difference. After all, there is still a physical gap between yellow and black people. So even if we play at home in our home country, it will still be difficult for our Japanese team to win the championship. Please forgive me, Vice Minister!" Keikazu Kobayashi said He bowed his head and apologized humbly.
"What was the physical gap between yellow and black people before? I don't think so." The vice-governor smiled slightly and then said: "Didn't the Chinese Zhang Guan break the world record in the men's 100-meter dash?"
"This..." When Zhang Guan broke the world record, Kobayashi Keikazu was also there. The abnormal speed Zhang Guan showed at that time really left Kobayashi Keikazu unable to explain.
Kobayashi Keikazu thought for a few seconds and began to say: "The Chinese have made great progress in sprinting in recent years. I guess they may have acquired some advanced training methods."
"Advanced training methods? I don't think so." The deputy commander continued: "Coach Xiaolin, let me introduce someone to you first."
The deputy director picked up the phone, dialed the secretary's number, and said, "Professor, please come in!"
A minute later, there was a knock on the door, and then the secretary walked in with a man about fifty years old. The deputy director introduced: "This is Professor Kondo Kamezo. Professor, this is the coach Keikazu Kobayashi I mentioned before."
"Hello, Coach Xiaolin! It's our first time meeting you. Please take care of me."
"Hello! It's our first time meeting you. Please take care of me."
After the two people said hello, they sat down, and the deputy director continued: "Professor Kondo was once a professor at Waseda University School of Medicine, and later established an independent laboratory, mainly conducting research on biomedical testing."
Although Kobayashi Keikazu didn't know the deputy commander's intention, he still politely showed respect to Kondo Kamezo.
At this time, the deputy chief continued: "When Zhang Guan broke the world record at the Olympics, Coach Xiaolin happened to be there. I would like to ask Coach Xiaolin, is the time of 9.77 seconds Zhang Guan's limit?"
Kobayashi Keikazu thought for a while and said: "Definitely not. Before the finish line, Zhang Guan looked back at other athletes and did not make any move to cross the line. I think this behavior must have cost about 0.02 seconds. time, according to my analysis, Zhang Guan’s real speed should be 9.75 seconds.”
"Then Coach Xiaolin, based on your professional judgment as a coach, can the current physical fitness of yellow people achieve such a fast speed?" the deputy commander then asked.
"If Zhang Guan had not appeared, I would definitely say that it is impossible for yellow people to reach this speed with their current physical fitness." Kobayashi Keikazu continued: "But Zhang Guan told me with facts, my previous thoughts were Incorrect."
"No, maybe your idea was right all along. We specially sent people to investigate Zhang Guan. In May last year, he was a high school student who had never received professional sprint training. After two months of professional training, he became a high school student. He broke China's national record and then broke the Asian record two months later. The above may prove that Zhang Guan is a genius. But after breaking the Asian record last year, it only took him less than a year to complete it. The score improved from 9.99 seconds to 9.77 seconds, an increase of 0.22 seconds. Once an athlete runs within ten seconds, it is very difficult to improve by 0.01 seconds. I think Coach Xiaolin must know this, so I suspect Zhang Guan is likely to use I have developed some special methods to improve my performance." A gloomy smile appeared on the deputy director's face, and he continued: "For example, doping!"
The deputy captain motioned for both of them to come closer, pointed to his monitor and said: "I specially found the video of Zhang Guan in the semifinals and finals of the Olympic Games. Coach Xiaolin, this is Zhang Guan's pace when he came off the field after the semifinals. Can you What do you see?"
"He must have consumed a lot of energy. He must have felt that the muscles in his calf were sore. Every step he took was heavy and his legs felt a little empty. This is a normal body reaction after high-speed and strenuous exercise." Kobayashi Keikazu He spoke.
"Yes! But only two hours have passed! He looked very energetic in the finals, look!" The deputy commander found the video of the finals and the way Zhang Guan walked after the finals, and then said: "After the more intense competition, After the final, his physical condition was much better than after the semi-final. Coach Xiaolin, do you think this is common sense?"
"Well, the final was more intense and more intense than the semi-final. Zhang Guan's physical condition after the game seemed to be relatively normal. This is indeed contrary to common sense." Coach Xiaolin said.
"Yes, this is not consistent with common sense at all. So after analysis, we are almost certain that Zhang Guan must have used doping!" the deputy director said excitedly.
"But in the post-match test, no problems were found. Everything is normal." Kobayashi Keikazu said.
"This is because the technology of the Olympic testing agency is not good. I think the Chinese must have used a newly developed special stimulant that can avoid Olympic testing, so they were able to win so many gold medals in the Athens Olympics." Deputy Minister Standing up, he continued: "We want to expose the truth and let the whole world know that the rise of Chinese sports is because they used despicable means and doping! It is for this reason that I found Kondo Professor Kamezo.”
"Professor Kondo Kamezo's laboratory is definitely the best in the world in terms of technology and is definitely better than the Europeans. As long as Zhang Guan comes to our country to participate in the competition, he must conduct a urine test. With Kondo's laboratory's most advanced technology in the world, Our technology will definitely be able to detect the doping he used! At that time, we will let the whole world know that our Yamato nation is the best nation in Asia!"
The deputy director said this, paused for a moment, soothed his emotions, and then said: "I have arranged for TBS reporters to warm up the topic of doping during pre-match interviews. I believe Zhang Guan will definitely express his opposition to doping. Yes, when we come out with the test results, the whole world will think that Zhang Guan is a villain who is different from what he appears to be, and his sports career may end early!"
Kobayashi Keikazu took a deep breath. At this time, he finally understood why he would do everything possible to invite Zhang Guan to participate in this competition, and even paid a large appearance fee for it.
But if we can really get evidence of doping by the Chinese, then everything will be worth it!
