Age of Dreams

Except for companies such as Meitu Sharing and Fairy Guardian that have officially gone public, Xiao Qi’s first factor in selling shares is not money, but the buyer’s influence and social status.

For example, the richest man who has cooperated with Xiao Qi the most—Branson, chairman of Virgin Group, Ellison, chairman of Oracle, Qiao Gangzhu, chairman of Apple, and Lee Kun-hee, chairman of Samsung. The first three are famous cannons all over the world Well, if you don't mess with them, they will jump out and make trouble. If people like this mess with them, they'll be stuck with dog skin plaster, and they won't even be able to take it off.

If anyone offends their interests, it will make them point and scold all over the world. Although European and American countries are shameless, if they are scolded too much, they still can't hold on.

For example, the last time GOOGLE targeted Fairy Company, it actually got the support of the United States, but the problem is that there are too many related interests in Fairy Company, so Branson, Ellison, and Qiao Gangzhu all talked nonsense, even the US government. , In the end, Ellison also paid a fine of more than 30,000 US dollars, plus 12 hours of community service labor.

But this is not without effect, at least in terms of the pressure of public opinion, it is not good for GOOGLE, which makes GOOGLE very embarrassed.

Including when Su Xiaomei went to the United States later, they also had their backing and gave them all kinds of support. Otherwise, how could Fairy Company win so easily?

This kind of partner is what Xiao Qi likes.

If it were a richer big dog—such as Qatar National Investment Fund, Abu Dhabi Management Fund, etc., the price they offered was 20% higher than Xiao Qi’s selling price, and if they were willing to negotiate, they would pay back Well, the price is not an issue at all.

But Xiao Qi never once agreed to cooperate with them.

Why?

What else do they have besides being rich? How influential is it in the world?

If it is only for making money, is Xiao Qi still short of money?

Even if the wealth shrinks by 90%, Xiao Qi still has assets of more than 100 billion US dollars, which is already enough for the Xiao family, and there is no need to compromise for money.

Sometimes, selling at a "low price" does not mean a loss. The current loss will still be regarded as a bargain in the future.

To be a person and do things, we must have a long-term vision in order to have long-term development.

So now Fairy Company has a lot of difficulties, but it is still developing vigorously on the whole, and has not encountered too many embarrassments-what are you embarrassing about? Do the several world-best-selling products in Fairy Company also have shares in major European and American companies? APPSTORE also has shares of Apple and Samsung, so it is not a company that is only dominated by Chinese people!

With such a successful experience, Xiao Qi has to choose more partners in Uber, a very sensitive company.

20% of the shares is just the first step. Xiao Qi will dilute the shares of Itochu Corporation and the Steinbrenner family in the next refinancing and share expansion. By the time of listing, Itochu Corporation will have 8%. If the Na family can have 3%, it is considered very good.

As for Xiao Qi himself, he should only retain 25%-30% of the shares. Calculated according to the equity of 1.5-2 shares for 1 share, Xiao Qi can still control the company steadily.

Diluting out so many shares will certainly not only be given to the family. Of course, others are definitely willing to take it all by themselves, but it is impossible for Xiao Qi to give them this opportunity.

For now, in Xiao Qi's ideal idea, the 20% stake this time should bring at least 5 shareholders to Uber, and it is naturally best to have 10 shareholders.

But when you think about it, you know it's impossible. If there are 10 shareholders, 20% of the shares will only be divided into 2% on average. How can these people be willing?

Those who can participate in the 60 billion US dollars in corporate financing projects all have capital, so who cares how much they spend? They only care about how much they can get!

While pondering here, Xiao Qi received a call from Xiao Meiji.

"Hey, hubby!" Tang Mingxiang was still so carefree, "I'm breastfeeding a baby, this little guy has a smaller appetite than his sister, I think I can breastfeed two at the same time!"

Xiao Qi couldn't help laughing, "Okay, you can just sit here, I see Taylor throwing Hansen to you, what should you do!"

"Tch, am I afraid of her? It just so happens that I have another son!" Tang Mingxiang chuckled.

After a pause, she coughed again, "Okay, I'm here to tell you something serious. Hank, Hank Steinbrenner, do you remember? Selling the New York Yankees to me that person."

"Remember." Xiao Qi nodded.

"He's a little flustered these days, I'm afraid you'll dilute his Uber."

"I said to the public that this time I will not dilute the shares, but just take it from me?" Xiao Qi asked in wonder, "Before that, I asked Li Bote to call him and asked him if he was interested in cashing out. He said he wouldn’t sell it, so I left him alone. Why are you suddenly worried?”

"Isn't there too many people who want to buy Uber shares?" Tang Mingxiang said: "Some people say that your 20% is definitely not enough, and you will continue to give it out, but you are notoriously stingy, so it will definitely be diluted. Shares. So someone ran to Hanke and said, instead of letting Xiao Qi dilute the shares, you might as well sell it to me now, and I will offer you a valuation of 70 billion U.S. dollars.”

"Then he panicked?" Xiao Qi laughed.

"Well, you also know that after all, he sold his father's New York Yankees to get shares in Uber and Facebook. If he becomes too small a shareholder, he may not be able to make it through." Tang Mingxiang said.

"Reassure him, this time we really only sell 20% of the shares." Xiao Qi said, "But you can also tell him that if there is a third round of financing, the shares may be diluted, but at least It is when the market value exceeds 100 billion U.S. dollars."

"OK."

Tang Mingxiang agreed, and then groaned again, "Xiao Qi, your son bit me~~as bad as his sister~~ Brat, mom spanked your ass!"

Xiao Qi had nothing to do with this naughty wife, although Tang Mingxiang had already given birth to two children, but she was still so innocent.

Compared with Xiao Qi's slightly shy and introverted personality, the couple complement each other quite well.

...

"Oh, yes, yes, thank you, Miss Tang, see you next game day!"

Putting down the phone, Hank Steinbrenner let out a long breath.

Sitting next to him was his wife Lena Steinbrenner, who was also happy to see this and said, "No problem?"

"No, just now Ms. Tang confirmed with Mr. Xiao, and this time it will definitely not involve the dilution of my shares." Hanke said with a smile: "But Mr. Xiao also made it clear that when the valuation exceeds 100 billion U.S. dollars, the whole Dilution of shares, increasing the number and size of shareholders again."

"Huh? Still want to dilute the shares?" Linna said with some disappointment.

"Of course!" Hank likes high-tech and electronic network industries, and knows a lot, "It is impossible for a company with a market value of more than 100 billion US dollars to have only a few or dozens of shareholders, except for the largest one or two. Shareholders, the rest of the shares will be diluted. From Ms. Tang's point of view, Mr. Xiao may only retain about 30% of the shares, and it is imperative to dilute the shares of the minority shareholders accordingly.

But this is definitely not harming the interests of minority shareholders, but a situation where everyone is happy. If you think about it, I bought 6% of Uber shares at a valuation of 25 billion US dollars, and 3% of Facebook shares at a valuation of 50 billion US dollars. Now Facebook's market value has exceeded 130 billion US dollars, which is equivalent to a 160% increase in value, while Uber is only the second financing, and it has already reached 180% profit! Next time it will be diluted with a valuation of 100 billion US dollars, there will definitely be a big increase!

Calculated in this way, we sold the New York Yankees for 4.5 billion US dollars, and the 1.5 billion cash is the least value-added effect. The 1.5 billion Uber stake has been valued at $4.2 billion, and this one alone is almost worth as much as the New York Yankees stake! And Facebook's 3.6 billion US dollars, our family assets will soon exceed 10 billion! "

Speaking of this, Hank's eyes turned red, "If Dad is still here, how happy he would be! I also let him see that his son's investment in the new era will definitely not humiliate him, but give Glory to the Steinbrenner family!"

In July last year, George Sr. passed away due to illness. It was Hank's great regret not to let his father see his achievements.

Linna quickly comforted her husband: "Don't be sad, Dad will be very pleased to see your achievements in heaven... Besides, he can't see it, but those short-sighted people can see it. Look at them Do you still dare to laugh at you as a prodigal son!"

Hank nodded with a smile, "We'll hold a ball in two days to publicize our achievements. Let everyone know that our Steinbrenner family will only become more and more prosperous and will not decline!"

"it is good!"

Lina agreed.

She immediately thought of something: "Miss Tang, she just gave birth to a baby. According to the rules of Hua people, she may have to wait for a while before appearing in a formal occasion."

"Then wait a minute! Go and coordinate Miss Tang's time first." Hanke said firmly. When Tang Mingxiang gave birth, both he and Linna went to congratulate her, so they naturally knew the situation.

The president of Chosegirl, the largest shareholder of Facebook, and Xiao Qi's wife are indispensable to this ball! (~^~)
