Rebirth: My dad is a coal boss

Acquiring Google?

In the company, Alice sat opposite Lin Hao, and the two sat opposite each other. This was Alice’s first time coming to Lin Hao’s company. Although it was not very big, it had everything, and the larger venue next door was being renovated.

“Thank you very much, this is good news.” Lin Hao said happily to Alice.

“This is what I should do. If there is nothing else, I will leave first.” Alice said to Lin Hao in unison. The main reason I came here today was to see where Lin Hao’s company is, and to settle the balance at the same time. Now that everything is done, it’s time to leave.

“Then I won’t keep you. There are a lot of things when the company is just established.” Lin Hao got up and sent Alice away. He happened to meet Robert and the two nodded and greeted each other.

“Boss, what do you want from me?” After leaving Alice in the office, Lin Hao and Robert sat down together.

“The company has basically been established now. I have injected US$1 billion into the company. You can decide how to invest 100 million US dollars of this 1 billion US dollars. The rest will help me acquire Apple and Amazon stocks. You can buy as much as you want.” .”

When Robert heard Lin Hao’s words, he couldn’t believe that he had heard it wrong. One billion US dollars was an astronomical sum. In the previous 10 years at Goldman Sachs, he had never managed such a large amount of funds.

“Boss, did you just say 1 billion US dollars?” Ropat asked again uncertainly.

“Yes, it’s 1 billion US dollars, of which 100 million can be decided by yourself, and the rest will be used to acquire shares of Apple and Amazon.”

Hearing Lin Hao’s words again, Robert tried to calm down, and then he felt huge joy , he really didn’t expect that his new boss would be so rich, he had never thought about it before, and he could control one hundred million US dollars, which was already a lot.

He was not surprised that Lin Hao wanted to acquire stocks in Apple and Amazon. During the previous interview, it could be seen that Lin Hao was very optimistic about Apple and the Internet, but Google was missing.

“Boss, weren’t you also very interested in Google before? Why didn’t you acquire their shares?” Robert asked the doubt in his heart.

Um, isn’t this fucking nonsense? Of course there is no money. Those with money would have taken over Google long ago.

“Of course I want to acquire Google, but Google has not yet gone public, the stock is not easy to buy, and the price is too expensive.”

This summer, Yahoo wanted to acquire Google, with an offer of US$3 billion, but Google counter-offered US$5 billion. 5 billion US dollars, Lin Hao’s current total net worth is not that much.

When Robert heard Lin Hao’s words, he understood that he had indeed taken it for granted.

“Boss, as far as I know, after Yahoo and Google failed to reach an agreement on the acquisition this summer, the two parties fell out. Yahoo acquired a new search engine company and planned to run it on its own. Google’s business has been greatly affected. It is estimated that The value has dropped a lot now, and the capital market is generally not very optimistic about them. If you, boss, really want to acquire Google, now is the best time.” ”

But I don’t have that much money. Yahoo’s acquisition costs 5 billion US dollars, even now Even if the valuation drops, it won’t be much worse.” Lin Hao said helplessly. If he was really rich, let alone 5 billion US dollars, he would buy it for 50 billion US dollars. It’s a pity that he has no money and is still too poor.

“Boss, in the capital market, you don’t have to spend your own money to acquire a company. As long as you are willing to pay a sufficient price, many companies will be willing to provide financial guarantees for such a large transaction.”

Hearing Ropat’s words, Lin Hao’s eyes widened. Liang, you have to be a professional. I used to only think about the funds in my hands. The U.S. capital market is very mature. There are various financing plans and financial bridges. Acquisitions like She Tunxiang often happen.

After thinking about it, Lin Hao was a little hesitant. He knew nothing about it, and he didn’t even know that he was being killed. Although he had Robert, he got along well these days, but who knows the real thing?

“How to operate it specifically?” The huge temptation still made Lin Hao couldn’t help but ask. If he failed, he would go home and inherit the family business. It would be good to be a second-generation coal worker.

“You can cooperate with large companies such as Morgan, Goldman Sachs, and Citigroup. There are many ways. The simplest is a loan, followed by financing, or debt financing, installment payment, gambling agreement…”

Robert talked a lot, and Lin Hao listened with great interest. He didn’t expect that it would cost so much to play, and he could win the other company’s company without paying a penny, but the price paid was a bit high.

“Boss, if you really want to make an acquisition, I suggest you to cooperate with these companies and make the acquisition through cash and pledged shares, such as this 1 billion US dollars, plus after the acquisition is successful, you can temporarily pledge Google’s shares to these companies. The company can do the greatest things at the lowest cost.”

At the end of the chat, Ropat gave his own advice, and Lin Hao was really tempted. You must know that after Google went public in 2004, its stock price once soared to 800 billion US dollars.

“In this way, I am a VIP customer of Citibank and can cooperate with them. I will leave this acquisition to them and let them come up with an acquisition plan first and let them provide loan services. In addition to the 1 billion, I also have With 1 billion in funds, we should be able to get a lot of loans. If it’s still not enough, we can mortgage part of Google’s shares to them after the acquisition is successful.” The

account manager of Citibank had called Lin Hao many times before and wanted to Come to visit Lin Hao at home. Lin Hao refused because he was in China, so this time he can just use it.

Lin Hao didn’t even think about a full acquisition. He just needed to become a major shareholder and gain control. Google was so successful in its previous life that it couldn’t do without its founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin.

Without them, Google would not be so successful. The founder of every company is its soul. No one knows what the result will be if another person is in charge of the operation. Therefore, even if the acquisition is successful, Lin Hao still wants to combine the two People stay.

“Boss, don’t worry, I will definitely help you get this done.” Robert was so excited that he didn’t expect such a big project to be implemented right away.

Lin Hao looked at Robert’s excitement. Who told him that Robert was a stable type? Now he seems to be more excited than himself. But since he has chosen him, he will not doubt the people he employs. For such a big acquisition, Lin Hao himself Of course, everyone will participate and keep abreast of the progress of things.
