BXBX NOVEL Chapter 345: Raising Gu and agreement
Compared with the 39 yuan at the time of purchase, even if the selling price of 84 yuan includes short-term operation taxes and fees, it can still make Shouwang Venture Capital a lot of money, but if it is combined with the next If the things you do are put together, the money will be a bit shabby.
After encountering the explosive hammer of long-arm jurisdiction, ATi, which has changed coaches, accepted an acquisition invitation of 3.2 billion. According to the acquisition negotiation of 50% equity, Shouwang Venture Capital, which is unwilling to complete the acquisition through share replacement, needs to pay for this 1.6 billion in cash was paid for the acquisition, so even if Watch Ventures made enough money on Enron stock, there is still a hole of nearly 700 million to fill.
This is a hole of 700 million!
Pile it up there and burn it, it takes a long time to burn it!
The smog produced may not cover the entire San Francisco, but it is more than enough to block a Golden Gate Bridge.
And thinking of the cost of the acquisition, Shouwang Venture Capital felt a little bald.
In addition, what makes Shouwang Venture Capital even more anxious is that their boss is also interested in PayPal, so they also need to prepare a sum of 500 to 1 billion cash to acquire this company that has been established with Elon Musk. A portion of the company that X.com merged with.
That\'s right, at the beginning, Roland really wanted to make PayPal a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shouwang Venture Capital, and to complete this transaction, he needed to pay 100 to 150 million in cash, but after seeing Microsoft and Apple After the big show, Roland changed his mind and decided to acquire part of PayPal\'s equity and then sell it to eBay to gain eBay\'s internal voice.
This is not because Watch Ventures is unable to spend 1.5 billion in cash to acquire PayPal while acquiring ATi, but because Roland wants to learn from Microsoft and create a friendly business in a single market.
That\'s right, it\'s the friendly merchant that Rebs said.
Indeed, after the acquisition of PayPal, Roland can indeed try to follow the relationship of Warren Buffett, set up a line with Visa International Organization and MasterCard International Organization, and directly With the endorsement of the world\'s largest and second largest credit card international organization to carry out dimensionality reduction strikes, before the industry has yet undergone brutal development, it has crushed all opponents with the weapon of \'regulation\', but...
Doing so has no meaning except to be hated by others and get involved in anti-monopoly lawsuits!
Although it is said that only when one company becomes the dominant player in all industries can it enjoy the maximum profit, but once a company becomes the dominant player in a single market, the ensuing targeting will also cause headaches.
Even if all the problems can be easily overcome, the continuous investigations and fines will consume the company\'s external credibility. In this way, it is better to put on two vests from the beginning and let the competition continue.
Just like Microsoft needs Apple, Amazon needs an eBay.
Just as Bill Gates needs a Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos needs an Elon Musk.
Roland may never have the chance to be the boss of Bill Gates again, but he still has the chance to be the boss of Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk. For him, it\'s all a good thing.
As a result, legal issues are avoided.
Secondly, it can truly monopolize a market.
With this benefit, buying a certain amount of shares in PayPal, thereby entering eBay and entering the other party\'s board of directors, became Roland\'s real idea after watching the farce. This is not only to provide Amazon with better growth space, but also to be wary of the news The invasion of the group, after all, when I wiped out all the companies in the entire industry, if the enemy still wants to enter the market, they have to violate the principle of cost-effectiveness and start burning money crazily. Once this step is taken, the stock price will drop. Will teach listed companies how to behave!
Of course, although the penguin\'s Gu raising plan is indeed simple and clear, if it is really operated, the twists and turns will be very troublesome, but it doesn\'t matter, because there is no shortage of working people in this world. After telling David his feelings and experience, he felt that there was no problem, so he asked the CEO of Shouwang Venture Capital to come to pick up the order.
Yes, after the major companies under Roland\'s name were split and reorganized in order to avoid the risk of going public, David, who had limited energy, also began to use tool people. Except for retaining the chairmanship of each company, all other positions were outside the company. trick.
As for the company\'s operational risks after the increase of outsiders?
This kind of thing doesn\'t exist at all.
Because the operating model of the company under Roland’s name is no different from that of Berkshire Hathaway, all of them have a core with octopus tentacles, so the hired employees only need to work hard, and they don’t need to do market analysis at all.
After all, in a powerful market analysis, it is no match for the whispers among capitals.
Just like Disney blamed their opponents for the failure of "Mulan" and Microsoft slammed someone for hacking the American election. …
Then why not draw lots to decide everything!
At any rate, the latter is God\'s will!
...
"So, when you came back suddenly, you asked me to continue buying the company for you?"
David and Roland, wearing hard hats, walked in the mud, and the oncoming mountain wind blew up the fragrance of the earth.
The earthy smell scattered in the air is a bit offensive, but if it is mixed with the grassy fragrance on the side, it feels like Herba Fresca launched by Guerlain in 1999, sweet but not greasy, astringent and not twisted bar.
Don\'t ask how Roland, who doesn\'t like to study this stuff, understands this.
Many things will be understood naturally after having a woman.
"How is that possible!" Roland looked at the construction site in the distance with his hands in his pockets, and replied casually, "Am I that kind of person?"
"I came back this time to attend the premiere of Ashley and Mary\'s new movie, to acquire the company, just incidentally."
"After all, sister is more important than business!"
"Oh! Really?" Roland\'s rhetoric aroused David\'s sarcasm, humming softly, turning his head, glanced at the guy who was already taller than himself, and said, "Sister is more important than business? Why didn\'t I see you back on my birthday?"
"The zoo has already been built, but you haven\'t been there once?"
This reply made Roland embarrassed, but at the same time as he was laughing, his thoughts suddenly changed and he said stiffly: "The zoo is different from the premiere. As long as the zoo is built, we can go there anytime." , and the premiere is less once, after all, this is the penultimate movie of Ashley and Mary..."
"Rare things are more expensive! Rare things are more precious!"
"Chick..."
David rolled his eyes.
Roland\'s fallacies made him laugh.
Obviously I fell in love and couldn\'t extricate myself, so I forgot all the things around me!
This kind of thing is not shameful, why bother to pretend to hide it!
I didn\'t get entangled in such small things, and continued to move forward along the road stepped on by people. During the days when Roland was away, David had already spent more than 30 million yuan to help him get the 150 million yuan on the top of Beverly Hills. Seven acres were taken.
"According to what you mean, we will build a medieval castle on this land that is bigger than Disneyland."
"In order to meet Kate\'s needs, I will go to England to ask a Norman architectural style designer to design it."
"As for the cost, I don\'t know yet, but..."
"Are you sure you want to build a Nordic-style castle in Los Angeles? Don\'t you find this behavior strange?"
When David took out the map to point out the country and selected the area where the castle could be built, he also expressed his doubts, "If you want to build a castle, can\'t you buy land in England and build it? You have to go to Los Angeles." A coastal city built?"
As soon as these words came out, Roland immediately shrugged his shoulders, showing the helplessness that only men can understand, "David, this is not a question of whether I want to build it, but a question of having to build it."
"Oh~" David elongated his voice, showing a knowing smile, "Does Kate want it?"
"Are you impatient?"
"Understood, your aunt is like this sometimes..."
However, just when David raised his hand and patted Roland on the shoulder, trying to show empathy, Roland shook his head and denied, "No, Kate didn\'t say that, but I think I might need this castle."
"Kate wants to stay in the UK, but the climate in the UK is really too unfriendly to me."
After living in Europe for half a year, he returned to Los Angeles. The warmth that greeted him made Roland feel comfortable physically and mentally.
Compared with this seaside city where the room temperature is kept at 68 degrees Fahrenheit all year round, the temperature difference among European countries fluctuates.
Take London as an example. At the end of December last year, the highest daily average temperature was only 44 degrees Fahrenheit, while in Los Angeles, the lowest was 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Such a huge change makes people who like to wear slippers but don’t like Roland\'s sock was a pain in the ass, because in London, jio would definitely freeze if you didn\'t wear socks, but in Los Angeles, you can walk around in slippers as soon as noon arrives.
In this way, what Roland wants to do the most is not to continue to build his own business empire, but to think about how to coax his mother-in-law to stay in Los Angeles better after marriage. .
Just like Tom Hanks immigrated to Greece for his wife but did not give up his American citizenship, Roland can accompany Kate home for a short stay, but... it is best not to winter, because it is really cold.
"So you want to build a Norman castle?"
"Let her live in a familiar environment?"
"There is a routine!"
Roland\'s brain circuit made David give a thumbs up full of praise.
While putting away the drawings, David patted Roland\'s chest, and his admiration for him was endless like a surging river.
"I always say that I don\'t understand romance, but I do it all the time!"
"I\'ve heard about the wedding preparation process before. In this age of technology flooding, the rich man with a net worth of tens of billions actually uses hand-painted methods to satisfy his fiancée\'s wedding dress dream? Yes! Yes!"
"If you add the previous marriage proposal, wow, tell me which woman doesn\'t want to marry you?"
When David held Roland\'s shoulders and told Roland\'s heroic deeds in these years in a \'yin and yang\' manner, Roland suddenly felt a little hot on his face, "No! Isn\'t all of this because of greater interests and A more stable life? People like us don’t need passion, just stability!”
"I know! I know! You don\'t need to be so excited."
David didn\'t believe Roland\'s excuse at all, and said, "I understand everything you said, I just sigh that you can perform such tricks so well!"
Looking at Roland and wanting to say something, David pushed his hands slightly harder, pushing Roland forward, "Okay, let\'s go to another place to have a look, and then we can go home for dinner..."
Does Roland love Kate?
This kind of question has no meaning for David.
At this moment, he is like an old father who has raised his children. He has a happy family while seeing that his family has a good future. That kind of comfort makes people happy physically and mentally, and is extremely satisfying.
"Oh, by the way, I signed a prenuptial agreement with her."
While wandering around, Roland also talked about the safety guarantee he had prepared.
David naturally knew about such a thing. After all, he had drafted the prenuptial agreement with a lawyer according to Roland\'s wishes.
"All the fixed assets in England belong to her, don\'t they?"
"Yes, that\'s what I think."
"What? What is your idea?"
"Because she changed."
"Huh? What else did she want?" Hearing what Roland said, David, who was still smiling, frowned.
The slightly doubtful inquiry fully reflected the doubts in her heart, and at the same time, she shook her head and said, "No, in the newly revised prenuptial agreement, after divorce, she doesn\'t want a penny."
"Then what does she want?"
"If she is the party at fault, then she will leave the house. If she is not the party at fault, she wants the custody and custody of all the children. Without her consent, I cannot see the children."
When David heard the words \'custody\' and \'custody\', Ben\'s progress suddenly paused. A few seconds later, when Roland was about to turn his head to explore, the normal David took three steps Take two steps and catch up.
Holding Roland\'s shoulders, the bearded old man smiled and said, "Okay, I want stability more than you."
"Yeah, I want stability more than I do." Roland raised his eyebrows and nodded in agreement.
Just like Roland didn\'t want to divorce Kate, Kate didn\'t want to divorce Roland either, because everyone knew that divorce compensation was not at all attractive compared to Mrs. Allen\'s status.
But the problem is that no one can guarantee that the accident of divorce or tomorrow will come first. In the case of having to sign a prenuptial agreement, change the stop loss plan for divorce compensation and become a means of continuation of marriage after the accident. That\'s what Kate wants to do most.
If she is the wrong party, then she leaves the house.
This harsh clause made her cut off other thoughts by herself.
If Roland is at fault, the child belongs to her.
This kind of \'pain of losing a child\' will make Roland act carefully.
The shackles of the prenuptial agreement will be like \'RandK\', allowing both parties to carefully maintain this relationship, and in this case, both parties believe that they can reap the happiness that is visible to the naked eye.
As for if it really comes to the step of divorce, Roland can use other means to get the judge to award the child to him?
Kate is not worried about this kind of thing.
Because at that time, there will be many violent machines, who want to trouble Roland, who has a global monopoly in a certain industry...
Among them, the United Kingdom, which has lost face in this business, is naturally included.
Note: ①ATi has always been inexpensive. In reality, when it was acquired in 2006, AMD paid a premium of only 5.4 billion. ②It’s not a day or two that Disney has been blamed. Why did “Mulan” fail? ABC issued a press release, and CNN forwarded it.
