The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 392

"Does Mr. Huang want to use these servers to invest in our Google?" Larry Page looked at Huang He warily.

Unlike other founders in the United States who don’t pay much attention to equity and often only have a few percentage points left after creating a company, Larry Page is a guy who values ​​his equity very much.

Until now, the two founders of Google, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, still own 60% of Google's shares. He said that it is very rare for the two founders to still own such a large amount of shares.

Take Yang Zhiyuan as an example. After the company went through two rounds of financing, his shares in Yahoo were only 10% left, and after the listing, it dropped to only 6%.

The same is true for Jobs. In the hands of Jobs now, he doesn't even have any shares in Apple.

So when Larry Page heard Huang He's words, not only did he not have any surprises, but he became a little vigilant.

"Mr. Page misunderstood me!" Huang He smiled and said, "I don't mean to use the server to exchange shares, but you can pay half of the server fee first, and the remaining half will be paid after a year. , so that you can have a one-year buffer time."

"That's it!" Larry Page nodded, and he could accept this condition.

"However, is it really enough to only have a batch of servers?" Huang He glanced at Larry Page, and then said, "Actually, Google still needs a lot of money, otherwise it will be difficult for you to survive after leaving Yahoo! day."

"Sure enough, Huang He is still interested in his own shares!" Larry Page sighed, but what Huang He said was that if Google didn't have more funds, it would be difficult to continue to support it.

"Mr. Huang, if you insist on investing, I can also agree, but it must be calculated at a price of 1 million US dollars per 5000% of the shares, and I will raise up to 20% of the shares for you!" Larry Page said .

In fact, before coming to Huang He, Larry Page had already tried his best to find funds, but the only way to obtain funds was to sell the shares of Google held by Larry Page and Sergey Brin.

In fact, many investors have expressed interest in this, but Larry Page insisted on selling shares at a price of US$50 billion, that is, the price of every 1% of shares is as high as US$5. After all, Larry Page quoted Yahoo at this price.

But investors shook their heads, saying Google wasn't worth the price at all.

More importantly, Larry Page wants this investment in order to leave Yahoo for independent development, but in the eyes of investors, leaving Yahoo is a dead end, and Google will collapse, so the money cannot be invested .

So Larry Page couldn't find any investment, mainly because he asked too much for the price.

"No, no, no!" Huang He shook his head, "Mr. Page misunderstood me. Although I appreciate Google, our Jiangnan Group doesn't have so much money to invest in Google. We still have billions of dollars in debt. But I can introduce an investment company, they have a large amount of funds in their hands, which can be used to invest in your company!"

"Oh!" Larry Page's eyes lit up. Compared with investments like Huang He, Larry Page naturally prefers funds from professional investment companies, which means that even if the other party has a large number of shares , and will not interfere with their own operations of the company.

It’s just that Larry Page has already found many investment companies, but almost everyone thinks that the price of 50 billion is too expensive, so no investment company is willing to invest in himself.

Is the company introduced by Huang He really willing to invest in himself?

Larry Page was skeptical, but still agreed to Huang He's request, so on the afternoon of the next day, in a high-end restaurant, Larry Page met little Swift.

"Little Mr. Swift, it turned out to be you!" Larry Page looked at the other party in surprise, "Didn't you refuse to invest in our Google company?"

Larry Page actually approached Swift Jr. just two months ago, but it was a pity that Swift Jr. rejected him at that time, so there is no further information.

So when he saw little Swift appearing again, Larry Page couldn't help asking in doubt.

"Sorry, I rejected Mr. Page at that time, mainly because I didn't know much about this industry. But today I talked with Mr. Huang He on the phone for two hours, and he strongly recommended your company to me, saying your The company will become one of the leading companies in the Internet industry in the future, and I will not regret investing in Google now."

"So here I am!" laughed little Swift.

"You really believe in Mr. Huang He?" Larry Page asked in surprise.

Well, although the relationship between the Western Mustang Company and the Yellow Crane is not as secretive as America First, it is basically possible to find out the relationship between the Western Mustang and the Yellow Crane as long as a detailed investigation is carried out.

But at this time, Larry Page had never thought of going to the trouble of investigating the Western Mustang Company, so he naturally didn't know the relationship between the Western Mustang Company and Huang He. It came at the suggestion of Huang He.

"Actually, it was Mr. Huang He who suggested me to only invest in Apple, so I believed in his advice!" Little Swift laughed.

In fact, the reason why Swift Jr. rejected Larry Page at the beginning was to follow Huang He's action plan of only investing in Apple. Now that Huang He has put forward a new request, he naturally unswervingly implemented it.

"That's it!" Larry Page looked at Huang He gratefully, and then said, "Then Mr. Huang He must have told you about me, what do you think?"

"Of course I don't have any opinions!" Little Swift said with a slight smile, "Since Mr. Huang He has approved the price, then we can invest 5% of Google's shares at US$000 million per share. !"

"Phew!" Hearing this sentence, Larry Page heaved a long sigh of relief, so that all the company's problems will be solved, and he can finally be completely relieved. How did I get here? I live in nightmares and anxiety all the time.

"However, I have a small condition!" Suddenly, little Swift said.

"What conditions?" Larry Page's heart tightened again. This guy won't ask for any excessive conditions!
"It's very simple. First of all, since Google already has my $10 billion in funds, it is a bit inappropriate to delay payment. These servers should be paid in full!" said Swift Jr.

"Naturally!" Larry Page nodded vigorously. He already has a fund of 10 billion US dollars, and the full payment is just a trivial matter.

"Also, I think that buying such a small amount of servers is not enough for the development of Google, so I personally think that Google can buy servers worth 3 million US dollars at one time!" said Swift Jr.

"3 million dollars!" Larry Page was dumbfounded, and then hurriedly said, "This is not suitable, we need at most 1 million dollars of servers now, and Jiangnan Group's servers are so cheap, enough for us to use for several years in the future That's right, we really don't need to purchase so many servers!"

"I know! I won't let you suffer!" Little Swift smiled, then patted Larry Page on the shoulder and said, "Well, I will pay 12 billion US dollars to buy this 20% of the shares. Isn’t there $2 million?”

"..." Larry Page was stupid again, and there is such an operation?
But this kid is a smart guy. Seeing the half-smile smiles on the faces of Huang He and Little Swift at the same time, Larry Page immediately understood the wishful thinking of these two people.

To put it bluntly, these two people are planning to cooperate to embezzle the investors' funds in the hands of the Western Mustang Company.

But now the Western Mustang Company has a huge amount of US$80 billion in funds, but in fact these funds are basically investors.

Oh no, now that $22 billion has doubled to a whopping $80 billion as Apple stock soared to $160 a share.

However, the 160 billion US dollars of funds still belonged to the investors, and the Western Broncos could at most earn a few hundred million US dollars in transaction costs.

You must know that the actual purchase funds invested by investors are only about 20 billion in total. After less than a year of operation, Little Swift has turned the 20 billion funds into 160 billion, which has doubled 8 times in one breath. , Achieved a mythical achievement in the industry.

And will Swift, who is an actual investor, be very happy?
No, the loss of Swift Jr. is estimated to be very depressing, because he turned 20 billion US dollars into 160 billion US dollars, but in the end the company can only earn a few hundred million US dollars in transaction fees at most.

What's more deadly is that this is the money earned by the company, not by Swift Jr. Even if Swift Jr. can pay dividends according to the dividend agreement, the remuneration is probably only tens of millions of dollars.

Tens of millions of dollars is undoubtedly a huge amount of money for an ordinary person, but for someone like Swift Jr. who holds a huge amount of 160 billion dollars in his hands, it becomes more and more uncomfortable.

Ever since, little Swift will inevitably find a way to make money from it, and the best, most concealed method, and at the same time, almost no legal loopholes can be found, which is the method in front of him.

Swift Jr. paid more than the agreed 5% price of $000 million to buy Google shares, but all the extra dollars were used to buy servers, so the extra money was actually transferred to In the hands of the yellow crane.

Looking at the relationship between Huang He and Little Swift, it is estimated that most of the extra money from this order fell into Little Swift's private account through various concealed means, and Little Swift completed a turnover. Xingyi can at least earn hundreds of millions of dollars in dividends from this extra transaction, and Huang He can also earn an intermediate fee.

At the same time, because it is a legal purchase of shares, and an unlisted company like Google has no specific market price to refer to, it all depends on how the two parties negotiate, so the price of 6% shares of 000 million US dollars does not have any People can say that there is a problem here.

As for the purchase of servers, there is no problem, because they are purchased according to the public price of Jiangnan Group, and the price is the same in the market, so naturally there can be no tricks in it.

And even if this plan is discovered in the future, there will be no problem.

One is that there is no evidence of this plan, and it is impossible to legally sanction them.

As for the public and company bosses, they won't care if they know about it.

After all, it made a profit of 140 billion, so what if little Swift took [-] million from it, can you really use this as an excuse to drive the other party away?
Want to chase away a financial genius who can make you $140 billion a year?
Everyone is not a fool, so everyone will pretend not to know about it. This is a perfect plan without any sequelae.
