The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 248 Windfall
"What? Are you going to buy this company? Are you crazy? This company owes more than 300 million dollars in foreign debt, are you fools?" When Little Swift learned from Leng Zhiruo that they wanted to buy When the Western Broncos invested in the company, they asked in disbelief.

"Of course!" Huang He nodded without explaining why.

In fact, the reason for this is very simple, because Huang He needs an investment company urgently, but it is difficult to buy an investment company with complete procedures in a short period of time, and at the same time, the financial background is very simple, and one person can buy the entire company's investment company.

Therefore, Huang He is very satisfied with this western wild horse company.

"I can give you 5 US dollars as the cost of purchasing this company. Of course, I will also bear the company's debts, and it has nothing to do with you from now on!" Huang He said. "You can only choose to agree or refuse. If you agree, I will sign a contract with you now. If you don't agree, I will turn around and leave. What do you think?"

"I'll sign!" Little Swift said without hesitation, such a good thing that can earn 5 dollars in vain and avoid the risk of going to jail, Little Swift agreed without thinking.

"You come to the company tomorrow morning, I have something to tell you to do." After all the procedures are completed, although it will take time to take effect, but Huang He is already the actual owner of the company, he said calmly.

"But, I've already sold the company to you, and this company has nothing to do with me anymore, so why should I come here?" Little Swift said puzzled.

"Although you have indeed sold it to me, in terms of legal procedures, these procedures have not been completed, and you are still the president of this company. I will use this company to buy the stock of another company tomorrow, so I must return I need you to come forward!" Huang He smiled and said, "Don't worry, just follow my command from now on, and you can do whatever I tell you to do, and I will give you an extra 2000 US dollars as a reward after it is done!"

"Thank you, Boss!" Little Swift immediately said happily, 2000 US dollars, I can't make so much money in a few years, it's so cool.

As for whether Huang He would lie to him, it was impossible, no one would lie to himself, a poor little man.

Ever since, little Swift happily left, leaving Huang He and Leng Zhiruo still in the office.

Next, Huang He used the company's phone number and name to sign up for Netflix's investment dinner on the second night, while Leng Zhiruo looked around the company curiously.

"Zhiruo, let's go back to the hotel, it's too dark in here!" Huang He urged.

"Wait, brother-in-law, I seem to have found something. This company seems to have some stocks in the back of the cabinet, and they haven't been taken away!" It turns out that Leng Zhiruo opened it when she was looking for customer data and information just now. In that cabinet, a batch of stocks was unexpectedly found.

"They must be the stocks of some companies that have gone bankrupt, otherwise, with the temperament of the former boss, it is impossible for him not to dispose of these stocks before running away!" Huang He said lightly.

"Brother-in-law, you are really right, these stocks seem to be bankrupt companies!" Leng Zhiruo brought these stocks in front of Huang He.

These stocks are some old paper stocks. After all, since 1997, the U.S. stock market has stopped issuing paper stocks, and all of them have been archived electronically, so these stocks should be sold before 97. stocks of various companies.

"Take it back to the hotel and see if there are any fish that slip through the net?" Huang He asked Leng Zhiruo to bring all these stocks to the hotel, then use a laptop to connect to the hotel's network, and then go to various stock exchanges to inquire about these stocks Code, and then found that these are indeed the stocks of companies that have all gone bankrupt and delisted.

Moreover, these companies have basically gone bankrupt and ceased operations. These paper stocks are just a pile of waste paper. No wonder the former boss left these stocks in the cabinet without moving them when he was running away.

Because these stocks can't be sold at all.

"Brother-in-law, what should we do with these stocks?" Leng Zhiruo asked curiously.

"Keep it. Although these stocks can no longer be sold, they are a witness to a period of history and have a certain collection value!" Huang He said boredly while flipping through these stocks.

When he was halfway through, he was surprised to find that the remaining stocks were all stocks of the same company, accounting for more than half of all stocks.

"Zhiruo, can you find out which company this stock belongs to?" Huang He doesn't know the English on it, and neither does Leng Zhiruo, because the name on the stock is the name of the company after all, and these are not English words that can be memorized. Yes, you need to go online to check it out.

"I found it. This is the stock of a game company called Atari. This company declared bankruptcy in 94, and there has been no movement since then!" Leng Zhiruo said.

[PS: Although Atari has gone bankrupt and closed down many times, it was acquired many times in the later period, and it is still alive and strong, but it does not have any sense of existence.Here is another world, so Atari's settings are different from reality, hereby explain. 】

"This is Atari's stock!" Huang He showed a surprised expression, and then began to count the paper stocks in his hand, and found that the number of these stocks was quite a lot, with more than 200 million shares.

"Zhiruo, how many shares has Atari issued in total?" Huang He asked again.

"Brother-in-law, Atari announced its delisting in 92. At the time of delisting, the total number of shares issued was 4 million!" Leng Zhiruo said.

"That means there are a total of 5% of Atari's shares here!" Huang He said in surprise. 5% of Atari's shares were a huge wealth worth tens of millions of dollars back then.
"No, more than 5%!" Leng Zhiruo exclaimed, "These shares were issued in 86. At that time, Atari's total number of shares was 2 million. An additional issue, from 000 million shares to 89 million shares, and these shares were not exchanged for the batch of shares issued in 2, which means that the actual value of these shares is equivalent to 000% of Atari's Equity."

"10%!" Boss Huang was surprised. He never thought that there would be such an unexpected gain in this company, even though the gain was not worth much at all.

When it comes to Atari, many Chinese feel it is very strange, but Atari is actually the overlord of the first-generation game console industry, and its dominance is stronger than that of Nintendo back then.

Nintendo still competes with Sony's PS and Microsoft's XBOX, but in the era of Atari, no competitor in the world could match Atari, and they were the kings who dominated the entire market.

Atari's first game console was released in 1. It was a game that imitated table tennis. Although only 1972 were sold, it was the first arcade machine in history and the ancestor of all arcade machines. .

In 1974, at the age of 19, Jobs joined Atari as a glorified programmer developing video games.

In 1976, Wozniak, another founder of Apple, also joined Atari, and then the two jointly developed the classic brick breaking game.

In 1982, Atari entered its most glorious era, with annual sales exceeding US$13 billion and a total market value exceeding US$20 billion. It overwhelmed Intel and Microsoft and became the most valuable electronics stock in the world.

In 1984, Atari released the video game "Alien et" with the highest IP cost in history. This game is expected to have a total sales volume of over 1 million. It was praised by Atari as the strongest game in history. The sales volume was only 500 million, of which 150 million all chose to return.

So far, Atari has ushered in an unprecedented turning point. It took only one month for the summer vacation to drop from 20 billion US dollars to 1 million US dollars. overlord.

There is nothing to talk about after that. Although Atari is still trying to struggle, it has completely lost people's hearts. It went bankrupt in 94 and became a joke of the times.

But in any case, Atari is the overlord of an era. It used to be a brand with the same status as Apple and Microsoft in the hearts of Americans.

Now up to 10% of Atari's stock is thrown in front of me like a pile of waste paper, and even a certain person who went to Las Vegas to gamble dismissed it, which is really frustrating Feel sad!

However, how could this Western Mustang company have so many shares of Atari?

Huang He was a little curious, and then he asked people to investigate all the remaining materials of the company, only to find out that the Western Mustang Company was established very early, in the early 80s, when Atari was the most beautiful At that time, and this investment company really wanted to invest in some stocks at the beginning, after all, no one would refuse money to make money.

As a result, they bought a part of Atari's stock, which was very small at that time, only about 0.03% of the stock.

But before 84, these stocks gradually increased their positions to 0.12%. Although there are only such a few stocks, their actual value is equivalent to 240 million US dollars.

In the early 80s, $240 million was worth $2 million today.

As a result, Atari suffered a crash, and the stock price plummeted to about 1/20 of its previous value.

At this time, stockholders have two choices, one is to cut off the stocks in time to stop losses, and the other is to buy more stocks to reduce the total stock purchase cost.

For example, you bought 20 shares of stock for 100 yuan a share, and when it fell to 100 yuan a share, you bought another 10 shares, so that the cost per share is equivalent to 5 yuan [-].

In this way, as long as the stock can get back to the high above 10, then you can recover your cost.

At that time, this investment company was holding this kind of thinking. After all, it has fallen to 1/20. If it is sold at this time, it will only lose money.It's better to spend money to buy more stocks. Maybe Atari's stock will rise back in the future?

As a result, the stock price still fell all the way. Although the cost was indeed getting thinner and thinner, the company was losing more and more money. Finally, when Atari announced its bankruptcy, the company had already eaten up 10% of the stock.

At the same time, because the entire company is insolvent, after repaying part of the company's debts, these stocks have no chance of delisting and repurchasing them, and they have completely become a pile of waste paper.

It was precisely because of this loss that the prestige of the former patriarch of the old family was severely hit, which caused a series of chaos within the family. Finally, these stocks miraculously fell into the hands of Huang He.
