Chapter 1628 He is confusing
Mr. Zhou Ming, I don’t know who is going to sell Amazon’s shares, but I can tell you very responsibly that I have absolutely no plans to sell shares on Amazon!
And if I guess correctly, what Mr. Zhou Ming wants must be shares with decision-making power. It is difficult for simple dividend stocks to attract the interest of investors like you.
However, such shares are extremely rare outside and it is difficult for outsiders to identify. Therefore, if Mr. Zhou Ming, you really want to invest in Amazon, I think I can go to San Francisco to interview you about related matters. Before this, please do not contact other unrelated personnel.
Amazon's chairman Bellad directly asked Zhou Ming for an interview on the phone. Of course, Zhou Ming agreed readily. This was exactly what he wanted. It would be better if Bellad took the initiative to come to San Francisco instead of going to Seattle by himself.
That is Amazon's shares. The world's e-commerce giant with a market value of over one trillion US dollars in the future. According to Amazon's current stock price, its investment can grow thousands of times in twenty years, which is quite exaggerated.
However, in the face of this Internet bubble, Zhou Ming’s goal is not only Amazon.
After receiving Billard's reply, Zhou Ming quickly called Jobs, Allen and others respectively. After the phone was connected, he opened his mouth and said directly: "I can acquire your shares."
If Bellad could monitor Zhou Ming's phone call at this time, he would definitely be so angry that he cursed, because Zhou Ming was clearly the same routine of calling himself, and he was going to acquire his own shares. Then he was surprised that there was no such thing. Zhou Ming said that it might be a mistake, which forced him to doubt whether someone inside him was planning to sell the shares and jump off the ship.
The plan is very old-fashioned, but the result is very useful, because under the impact of the Internet bubble, it is very difficult for all Internet companies to live, and it is normal for someone to cash out and leave the scene.
As corporate leaders, they definitely do not allow such private trading of shares, because if they are tolerated such a situation, it is easy to make their company maliciously acquire. Then instead of waiting for such a thing to happen, it is better to lead the investment first and take the share trading rights in their own hands; more importantly, they can also take the opportunity to win over Zhou Ming, the major shareholder after the equity changes.
Of course, in addition to this, accepting Zhou Ming's investment can also bring new cash flow to the company, which is very necessary for all companies facing the impact of the Internet bubble.
So, whether it was Jobs or Allen, they all agreed to go to San Francisco to have an interview with Zhou Ming, just like Bellad.
Amazon, Aipai and Gaoxun are all super companies in the American Internet industry in later generations. Zhou Ming still remembers that the year before he was reborn, Aipai's market value had exceeded 2 trillion US dollars. You should know that in China in this era, the DGP of the whole year of the country had just exceeded 1 trillion US dollars. This shows that these Internet companies are really rich and can be compared to the country.
Amazon is also a super company with a total of over one trillion yuan. As for Gaoxun, its market value may not be outstanding, but its chip design and manufacturing technology, monopolizing 3G4G communications, and competing with Xia Wei for 5G technology have made him a unique existence all over the world.
Of course, Zhou Ming remembers that there is another Feige, for this just now
Zhou Ming, the founded Internet company, had already made a plan before the Internet bubble. He invested in the beginning of his business and acquired a large number of original shares. He had long relied on these shares to become Feige's invisible boss.
Jobs, Bellad and Allen went to the Wells Square in San Francisco. Here, Zhou Ming did not make any special arrangements, and he would meet whoever came first.
The first person to come to San Francisco was naturally the closest Jobs. When Jobs saw Zhou Ming, he didn't talk nonsense and told Zhou Ming directly that he could make the decision to replace the shares of some individual shareholders of the board of directors who were unwilling to continue to hold shares of Aipai shares. If Zhou Ming had enough cash flow, he could hold up to 9.26% of the shares.
With less than ten percentage points in this era, this is obviously a bit less than the idea of controlling the company. But Zhou Ming can also understand that after all, Jobs was kicked out of Aipai by shareholders. Therefore, when he returned to Aipai again, the most thing he did was to diversify the equity as much as possible.
It seems that it is really the limit for him to be able to give him 9.26% of his shares.
Of course, even Jobs, Zhou Ming needed to inspect and study the shares he promised. Since Jobs came here, he was prepared, so he carried relevant materials with him.
Zhou Ming asked the Tang family professionals to appraise and signed a contract with Jobs on the spot after confirming it was correct.
After Jobs, he was Amazon's Bellad, and the process was basically the same as Jobs. However, compared with Jobs, who had been backspinned by major shareholders, Bellad was obviously much more sincere than Jobs. He promised to give Zhou Ming a shareholding ratio of nearly 20%, which is more than twice that of Jobs.
As for Allen who came the latest, in fact, Allen was a little confused about whether to come to San Francisco or not.
After all, as a communications technology company, he was least affected by this Internet stock market crash, and Gaoxun also has 3G communication technology standards, and is a high-quality company that any investor likes to watch.
But Allen finally decided to come. His reason was different from that of Jobs Bellad, and he was even more for himself.
Since Gaoxun was also hit to a certain extent in this Internet bubble, it directly led to Allen's ability being questioned by the board of directors, and some people were even preparing to cause trouble behind the scenes and seize power from Allen. Therefore, Allen needs to bring a major shareholder to stand on his side, and Zhou Ming is undoubtedly the best choice.
Zhou Ming, who learned the whole story, said that he didn't care, because the purpose of his investment was to buy at the bottom and make a profit, as long as Allen's shares were fine.
So Zhou Ming acquired shares of Aipai, Amazon and Gaoxun for less than one billion US dollars.
Of course, these three most well-known Internet companies have emerged. Zhou Ming has also contacted dozens of Internet technology companies such as Oracle and Autodesk. After all, their company development software, CAD software, etc. are all needed in China.
In addition to these useful Internet companies, Zhou Ming also joined hands with Tang Jingsheng to acquire hundreds of companies.
...
Zhou Ming is acquiring Internet companies with such a big fanfare, and it is impossible for the American wealthy families to be unaware of it. On the contrary, they have known it for a long time. Even when Jobs, Bellad and Allen went to San Francisco one after another, Piero
People like Freeman also organized research institutions to conduct investigations. If the situation is OK, they don't mind being crossed.
However, when the Internet bubble had just collapsed and the whole of the United States was in a moment of very distrust of the Internet industry. Therefore, the reports issued by the investigative agency to Piero and Freeman were naturally quite conservative. They believed that the current Internet industry was not worthy of competitive investment. In contrast, Zhou Ming's acquisition of traditional industries was more threatening.
In particular, these research institutions issued financial reports to Piero and Freeman from dozens of Internet companies, including Super.com, pointing out that most of these Internet companies are scammers and do not have investment value.
Perhaps companies like Gaoxun and Oracle have certain value, but even such companies are difficult to find among the hundreds of companies acquired by Zhou Ming, and they do not think it is necessary to find them hard.
Not only did they hire investigation agencies, but for the sake of security, Piero and Freeman and other wealthy families also held a conference call to discuss Zhou Ming's acquisition with such a big fanfare to see if there were any other conspiracy.
But the final result was that they did not find it, and they only believed that the biggest possibility was to cover up the traditional industries of Harvey, which was to confuse the public.
"After all, if we only acquire shares in companies like Harvey, it will easily arouse our vigilance and lead to their conspiracy going bankrupt. But now they have added a large number of Internet companies, the situation will be different, and it will easily mislead us."
"But it is easy to understand from the perspective of Zhou Ming's investment structure. Including Zhou Ming and several other Chinese foreign exchange pitchers, they have spent tens of billions of dollars in the acquisition of shares of companies such as Harvey. This is not a small amount. After all, the foreign exchange reserves of their country are only 100 billion."
"On the contrary, looking at the Internet companies, although Zhou Ming has invested a lot and is worth a billion dollars, if Amazon and Aipai are deducted from two relatively strong market capitalization companies, the remaining hundreds of Internet companies may not have a combined $100 million. If we look at the batch investment, Zhou Ming's total investment in Internet companies in the first phase will not exceed $1.5 million."
"What can such a little money do? I'm afraid there is not even a fraction of investment in Harvey, so Zhou Ming's focus is absolutely impossible on Internet companies!"
This is McGison's statement on the conference call, and his statement was also endorsed by most people, including Piero and Freeman.
There is no doubt that McGison has selfish intentions to say this. As a core wealthy family of the Texas consortium, McGison certainly needs to protect the security of his own industry and core technologies. Now Zhou Ming is coming directly at Harvey, how can he not make him nervous?
Although oil, aerospace materials and instrumentation are the core industries of the Texas consortium, even if Harvey makes Zhou Ming's acquisition, he will not cause much loss, but if possible, he is still willing to mess up the matter.
Because McGison helped, when Zhou Ming learned the news, he increased his efforts in Texas' industrial investment.
McGison and other Texas wealthy families all believed that Zhou Ming was retaliated after being exposed by them, but in fact, Zhou Ming did this just to thank them for their help.
