Chapter 312: Dangdang is Different
Time flies like an arrow, and before they knew it, the eldest sister had finished her postpartum confinement. However, given the cold weather, Huang Xiaochuan did not let the eldest sister take Xiao Xuanxuan back to Suzhou. He insisted on keeping the mother and daughter here until the eldest sister finished her maternity leave and returned to Suzhou when spring came next year.
After intense negotiations, Goldman Sachs finally agreed to Gaze's valuation of $35 million, investing $7 million for a 20% stake. The shares of the three company founders were diluted, but Hong Kong Changhong Investment made an additional investment to maintain its original 30% stake in order to avoid dilution.
These investments will be used to upgrade Gaze10 and seize market share in internet browsers, growing stronger before other competitors emerge.
With ample funding, Gaze10 will spread rapidly, and the latest advanced version, Gaze11, will be launched soon.
After Gaze signed the investment agreement with Goldman Sachs, Goldman Sachs hosted a celebration reception that evening at the Sheraton Hotel near Stanford.
Zhang Yun made a stunning appearance in a custom-made evening gown, attracting the attention of many men.
Trevor and Darwin, both nominally millionaires, stepped forward to greet her in suits.
Darwin made no attempt to hide his admiration for the beautiful woman before him.
"Wow, my goodness! I much prefer you this way to the negotiating table, beautiful Miss Catherine."
Zhang Yun smiled and took a glass of champagne from the tray handed to her by the waiter: "If you could use this ability to compliment women in a different way for the company's development, it might help you become a successful person sooner."
"My God! Trevor, she's still the same as during the negotiations, it's terrifying!" Darwin feigned shock.
Trevor spread his hands and shrugged helplessly: "Darwin, I think Catherine is right. You should focus your energy on your technique."
Trevor's only complaint about his partner was that this guy, now using his position as the founder of Gaze, was sleeping around like a stallion, leaving most of the company's affairs to Trevor and Zhang.
Zhang Gaolei and Mai Guangde were chatting in another place. Because of Huang Xiaochuan's connection, the two were naturally closer, especially since they were in the United States and surrounded by foreigners.
After exchanging a few polite words with Trevor and Darwin, Zhang Yun walked over to Zhang Gaolei and Mai Guangde, who were chatting.
"What are you two gentlemen talking about? Would you mind if I joined in?"
Zhang Gaolei quickly greeted her, "Teacher Zhang!"
Zhang Yun smiled slightly and corrected her form of address: "In this kind of occasion, please call me Catherine."
Dressed in a formal suit, Zhang Gaolei gave a slight bow: "Yes, Ms. Catherine!"
Now, Zhang Yun is not only Zhang Gaolei's former teacher, but also his current benefactor and investor representative. With these two roles, how could Zhang Gaolei not respect this woman?
Hello, Ms. Catherine!
Mai Guangde clinked his champagne glass against Zhang Yun's glass.
Zhang Yun had already learned from Zhang Gaolei's leaky mouth that Huang Xiaochuan was the actual controller of Hong Kong Changhong Investment, another major shareholder of Gaze Company.
So she said to Mai Guangde, "Your boss didn't even come for such a big event as signing the contract. It seems your boss trusts you a lot, Mr. Mai?"
This was actually Zhang Yun expressing her dissatisfaction. Huang Xiaochuan, this kid, didn't take such a big thing seriously. Could it be that he was too scared to come and sign the contract in person just because I asked him to accompany me to Fifth Avenue once?
Mai Guangde already knew about the relationship between the woman in front of him and his boss, so he treated Zhang Yun with great respect.
"Mr. Huang said he is a family man and that his family is more important than signing the contract. Please forgive me, these are his exact words, I am just relaying them."

Mai Guangde brought up Huang Xiaochuan to deal with the woman in front of him, because it was indeed Huang Xiaochuan who had said those words to Mai Guangde.
Zhang Yun:
Seeing Zhang Yun's utterly speechless expression, Zhang Gaolei turned his face away and barely managed to hold back his laughter.
"I heard you're going back tomorrow. Could you please pass on a message to your boss and tell him not to forget the tuition he owes me?"
Zhang Gaolei and Mai Guangde looked at each other, wondering what the hell this was.
However, Mai Guangde still agreed.
"I will definitely pass on the message to Mr. Huang, please don't worry!"
Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, Huang Xiaochuan's nose was irritated by the sudden change in temperature when he went out, causing him to sneeze several times. He muttered to himself, "Who's thinking about me again?"
The next day, Mai Guangde flew directly back to Shanghai with the relevant documents, while the rest of the team took another flight to Hong Kong.
Ding Yi has been suffering lately. His son, Si Yan, has gotten used to the environment and no longer howls at night, but a new problem has arisen. He is incorrigible and no amount of beatings have helped.
That is, this little guy has such great energy from who knows where, he actually destroys the house. No furniture with legs can escape his chewing. The table legs of the dining table are all chewed up, and he even chews on the wall paint. Moreover, Ding Yi also found that this dog is extremely stubborn and will even argue with its owner!
When Ding Yi scolded it, it actually refused to listen and barked wildly at Ding Yi. The two of them were arguing like they were having a fight, which made Qi Huan laugh so hard. Goodness, she had never seen a dog like this before.
The little guy chewed two or three holes in Ding Yi's mother's leather shoes, which made Ding Yi's mother so angry that she chased after the little guy with a broom all over the house, leaving the housekeeper dumbfounded.
The key is that you can't tie it up. If you do, it will howl loudly for one or two hours straight without stopping.
Ding Yi wasn't stupid. Now he knew why Huang Xiaochuan had given him such a dog. That damn dog was too wicked. Ding Yi was so angry he wanted to grind his teeth to dust. If he wasn't outmatched, he would have fought that kid to the death.
However, if he couldn't use his hands, he could use his words. Ding burst out as soon as he saw Huang Xiaochuan: "You damn rich bastard, why were you so kind as to give me a dog? Turns out you weren't up to any good!"
Huang Xiaochuan glanced at Ding Yi and said, "You'd better speak from your conscience, or I'll sue you for defamation!"
"What kind of lousy dog did you send me? It's so disobedient and even dares to argue with me! Damn it, it's going to tear my house apart!" Ding Yi was almost in tears as he accused Si Yan of all the things he had done in his house.
"Don't blame the toilet for your own crooked penis. You don't know how to raise a dog and you're blaming me. I find your behavior despicable." Huang Xiaochuan righteously refuted Ding Yi.
"I told you why you called this dog a husky. I knew it! Whenever you come up with a new term, I'm going to get tricked by you. Damn it, I've fallen for your tricks again and again."
Chen Zhe listened like a listener to a crosstalk performance, his cheeks aching from laughing. Being with these two was always a joy.
"I don't want this lousy dog anymore, you should take it back right away."
"Really? I think you've forgotten the vow you made when you high-fived me, haven't you?"
"What oath did I make?" Ding Yi pretended to be confused.
"Old Chen, you were there that day, can you help him remember?"
Chen Zhe suppressed a laugh and helped recall: "Old Ding, you said that if you didn't want this dog, you were a bastard."
Huang Xiaochuan teased him, "So, should I take this dog or not?"
"Get lost, get lost, I hate seeing you!" Ding Yi stormed off, but turned back after only a short distance.
It turned out he had forgotten his bag.
