Chapter 776: 4000 million euros not received, but 1 million dollars spent

Little John's bicycle was stolen in front of Xiangyang's home.

If he hadn't met Xiangyang's neighbor several times, he would have been caught as a burglar.
What a mess this is!
According to Bi Shaffer's tip, Liu Xixi covered her forehead with her hands when she saw the photo of little John with a sad face.

How dare he sneak into the house while she was away?
Similarly, Xiangyang didn't give her much peace of mind.

As expected, the photos of Xiangyang, Abramovich and Usmanov meeting at the airport made headlines in major media outlets related to the Premier League and football that evening.

Since The Sun took the lead, how could a sensational newspaper like The Daily Mail miss it?

It was so made up that even Stan Kroenke in Denver called to inquire about it.

Help Usmanov buy Arsenal?
Stop it.

Ever since he had a long chat with Xiangyang after dinner, and his partner at DST, Yuri Milner, came over.

His mind has long been away from Arsenal.

He even wanted to get some business for himself.

After hearing about the game "Minion Rush", he immediately said that his company Zynga could help incubate it into a social network game.

FarmVille, also known as the globally popular happy farm, is the flagship product of this gaming company today.

This company's strategy is similar to Tencent's, both of them make money by selling virtual items.

And the profit from the transfer was quite a lot, with an estimated value of $90 billion and a net profit of $4 million. With this profit model, it was finally sold to the parent company of "Grand Theft Auto" for a high price of $127 billion.

This is also why Usmanov wants to own more shares in Facebook.

drainage.

Xiangyang knew nothing about this company.

But there is obviously something to talk about with the "Minions Rush" project.

Because since the project was launched, the bidding has not yet started.

Actually, yes.
Xiangyang has not yet estimated how much this project will sell for.

The original plan was to cooperate with EA or France's Gameloft, but with the addition of a competitor, wouldn't the price go up?

This is good for HYS.

Usmanov was also aware of this, or rather, he mentioned this deliberately to allow Xiangyang to profit from it.

Because the three of them reached a consensus, that is, to use DST as a chess player to invest in some Internet companies in China.

Abu rubbed his hands, indicating that he could join in as well.

Usmanov and Yuri Milner welcomed his joining because despite holding 2% of Facebook's shares, the size of the DST fund was still very small.

The total is just over $13 billion.

Moreover, a lot of this money has been spent over the past two years.

If you want to expand your capital pool, attracting more people is the simplest and most effective way, but it is also often the most difficult.

But according to Yuri Milner's observation, Abramovich is completely focused on football, and the only reason he is throwing some money in is because he has too much money and has nowhere to spend it, so he is doing some asset management.

Xiangyang is a very good partner.

"You don't necessarily need a seat on the board of directors to exert influence." Xiang Yang's words hit the nail on the head for Yuri Milner.

"Hands-off" and "friendly to the founder" were the key points that enabled him to join Facebook, which was summarized by Xiang Yang in one sentence.

However, if you look closely at Xiangyang’s investments, whether it is in Uber, INS, or Whatsapp which is often mentioned nowadays, if you don’t understand it, it’s almost as if you can’t even see his existence.

However, for these companies, Xiangyang not only made early investments but also laid the foundation for rich returns in the future.

And has been promoting their development through its own influence.

But what impressed him most were not these Silicon Valley companies.

Rather, it is HYS and CFT, which are headquartered in Paris.

Because the apps of these two companies are the perfect combination of social media and e-commerce, which has the greatest potential.

“You actually know JD.com and Alibaba?!”

Xiangyang was a little surprised to hear his very familiar name from a big Russian foreigner.

"Xiang, I not only know them, I also know the Mi company." Yuri Milner smiled at Xiang Yang. His investigation of China was no joke.

"Haha, this company has great potential." Xiangyang couldn't help laughing when mentioning Xiaomi and Lei Jun.

He is very familiar with Lei Jun and can introduce them to each other.

Really, he doesn't lie.

At least on the Internet, he said he knew Lei Jun, and Lei Jun would definitely not deny it.

I just don't know what will happen to Huawei at that time.
Oh, now I am my wife's rival, right?

When Xiang Yang heard Yuri Milner say that he was considering investing in Xiaomi, he suddenly realized something.

But there was no time to worry about this. The first thing he had to solve was the $100 million.

He doesn't want a house worth 4000 million euros.

However, he cares a lot about making money in partnership with others, but compared with these wealthy people, he really cannot come up with $100 million in cash.

It's several million euros, and I still have to write a report and ask my wife for permission.

One hundred million US dollars.
Thinking about it, Xiangyang felt worried.

This money must be obtained by pledging his stocks.

At the moment, the stocks he holds are only worth two if mortgaged.

One is the H51 shares that I just acquired.

Another one is Uber, which just received a financing agreement. Although INS, Whatsapp, and DJ have valuations, they have maintained stable development because they have not received subsequent financing.

I want to mortgage it, but the price cannot be raised.

Or, should I mortgage my wife?
Thinking about Liu Xixi's pay, Xiangyang clicked his tongue and wondered how many movies and TV series would she have to make to earn $100 million.

No wonder they were making a fuss when they saw the euro fluctuate a little.

Well.
One hundred million dollars, how should I tell Liu Xixi?

Xiangyang, who was not worried about how to make money, thought about it and decided to talk to Liu Qianqian first. After all, the stocks he had were good targets.

Whether it is a bank, an investment bank or other institution, as long as he is willing to release it, it will be scrambled for.

"Honey, isn't $1 million a bit too much?" After the call was connected, Liu Qianqian, who was in the crew, covered the phone with her small hand, fearing that others would hear it.

As she said, $1 million is too much.

If someone spreads this.
"Is that fencer trying to deceive you?" Liu Qianqian was also very wary of Usmanov, the president of the International Fencing Federation.

"No, I'm not a fool, how could I be cheated?" Xiangyang smiled. If anyone said that Liu Qianqian was not a money-grubber, he would definitely have a good argument with that person.

But the explanation still needs to be given, at least to make Liu Qianqian sign the document with peace of mind.

"Abramovich invested $3 million, and Prokhorov, who plays basketball, invested $5000 million. I thought about it and felt that $1 million would not be a big pressure for me. Of course, I will listen to you on the money issue."

"That's almost equivalent to" Liu Qianqian frowned.

She knew Abu.

I haven't heard of basketball.

However, if it is US$1 million, it is almost equivalent to the dividends that Xiangyang can get from H5 in 7-51 years.

From this point of view, my husband is quite amazing~
In a few seconds, Liu Qianqian took a deep breath and said firmly: "I will listen to you about the investment."

"What if I lose?" Xiangyang asked in a low voice.

"If you lose, I'll support you. Although I may not be paid as much as Gong Li, acting in a TV series will not make you poorer than Little John."

When talking about little John and thinking of the photo, Liu Qianqian smiled.

This photo would be perfect if she wore a pair of silver bracelets.

"Forget about him."

Xiangyang was speechless about what happened to his friend.

"Honey, should we move to another house? Isn't our current one a bit unsafe?" Liu Qianqian suddenly realized something.

To be honest, losing a bicycle at the airport is understandable.

Even the bicycle parked outside my house was lost.
The public security is so terrible that I can only say it is terrible.

Moreover, the fact that little John climbed over the wall to enter the house also served as a reminder to Liu Xixi.

She had never realized before that the security loopholes in this villa were so big! Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened when her family lived there.

It was relatively safe when Zhao Xin lived alone and looked after the house.

"Okay, let's change it." Xiangyang nodded. He had already spent $1 million. Could he be short of a few million euros?

If it doesn't work, go to Principal An's apartment first.

There are plenty of rooms and food.

"Then let's go look at houses when I get back." Hearing Xiangyang agree so readily, Liu Qianqian pursed her lips and said, "I'll pay the difference. Let's make a deal first~"

"Okay, I know. I won't compete with you."

Xiangyang shook his head helplessly. What did he say?
Liu Qianqian is now obsessed with buying a house.

"Don't forget to ask someone to install the power grid." Liu Qianqian reminded him again. She didn't want her house to be robbed when she was not at home.

"Don't worry." Xiang Yang replied decisively.

What a silly girl.

Even if you install an electric fence, little John can still get in through a dog hole.

Don't ask him how he knew.

Even if asked, he wouldn't admit it. He just watched Little John pass by.

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to stay at your house after I finish my work today so that I can go clothes shopping with mom tomorrow."

"it is good."

Xiangyang felt more at ease knowing that she accompanied her mother to the premiere.

Well, even if Liu Qianqian is not with him, he has nothing to worry about with a mother-in-law like Liu Xiaoli around.

After his wife agreed, Xiangyang hung up the phone and looked at Bi Shafer.

"You can talk to your mother. If she is interested, we can invest together."

When Xiangyang is really generous to his assistant, the word "generous" is not enough to describe him.

"Me too?" Bi Shaffer pointed at herself in surprise.

"of course."

Xiangyang nodded, which was also a way of giving him some insurance.

If something happens and I get involved, and Anna Wintour and her daughter are also involved, at least I won't be too passive.

"Boss, have you decided which shares to mortgage?"

"This..." Xiangyang sucked his teeth and sighed:
“This is not just about money.”
