Chapter 60
As time enters April, the Internet craze that started at the beginning of the year has become more and more obvious. Google's current market value has jumped to 26.7 billion, and Yahoo has reached a height of more than 30 billion, almost 40 billion, but as a
Kaos, who is in control, is very aware that Google has not made any big moves recently.
Even since Google's listing, it has only continued to delve into the market on a small scale. At the same time, it has only made some adjustments to the company's internal framework. For example, it established a wholly-owned subsidiary Google earth, whose Chinese name is Google Earth, to make more in-depth and professional productions more detailed.
Perfect satellite map.
Google Music, Google Music, a wholly-owned music subsidiary, is used to provide more perfect technical support for Google's music search, along with some of its own music production.
In addition, there are more than ten subsidiaries of various kinds, all focusing on Google online search to provide more professional services and technologies.
In the past, when so many research directions were placed in one company, it was easy for resources to be skewed, resulting in some functional modules being very powerful, but other functional modules becoming shortcomings.
Now that a wholly-owned subsidiary has been established and the business is completely divided, the awareness of competition among each other will be stronger, and the power of the project managers will be greater, and they can acquire some desired technologies on their own.
The head office only needs to supervise them and evaluate their business performance regularly.
The work of Kaos and Carson has become much easier, which also allows Kaos to focus on Kaos Jones Investment Company.
"Boss, it's almost time. Shall we go to the investment company now?"
While Kaos was going through the backstage to check on the company's specific research and development status of various projects, Lin Zhiling walked in with a sexy catwalk and whispered a reminder.
"Oh. It's already time. Okay, I'll leave right away."
After exclaiming to Lin Zhiling how time passed so quickly, Kaos turned off the computer, stood up, took the coat handed over by Lin Zhiling and put it on, and then they took the elevator down to the basement together.
The bodyguards and driver had been waiting here for a long time. After getting into the car with Kaos, they immediately headed towards Wall Street in the city center.
The Kaos Jones Charitable Foundation is generally a charity, and the more work it has to do is to spend money, so all the work of making money is left to the Kaos Jones Investment Company under Kaos's name.
The foundation hands over its own funds to investment companies for appreciation and preservation. Essentially, the money belongs to the charitable foundation, and the investment companies only draw some profits from it, which makes the taxes on it pitifully small or even non-existent.
Investment companies are the tentacles used by Kaos for external investment. For example, Qiandu and Ctrip invested in shares, and Kaos Jones Investment Company established several wholly-owned subsidiaries such as Blue Ocean Future in Hong Kong. Later,
It is these wholly-owned subsidiaries that invest in or even merge with the mainland projects that Kaos is optimistic about.
With this set of procedures, you can not only hide your existence, but also get the lowest taxes because of the charitable foundation. After the company goes public, you can then donate the stock to the charitable foundation step by step.
This kind of operation has the meaning of being left-handed and right-handed, but the effect is very successful, and it has flexible investment capabilities and reduces future tax problems.
The two companies rely on each other and support each other, and the results are very remarkable. Under the leadership and guidance of Kaos, the previous US$400 million in charity foundation has tripled to US$1.2 billion. Now Kaos can completely Donate Amazon and Google shares to charitable foundations.
It's just that Kaos is still very young now. As long as the stocks are not sold now, these stocks need to be supported by 5% every year, and the future appreciation is also calculated. It is very not worth it, so there is no such urgency to transfer them all. Inside the foundation.
Instead, it only transferred 15 million shares of Google stock to prepare for some tax deductions in advance when selling the stock early next year.
................................................................. ..
The entire investment company is a small securities trading hall, with two hundred people sitting in front of computers, constantly placing orders to buy individual stocks or closing positions quickly according to the orders of their team leaders. This scene makes the company very crowded. It's noisy.
At the same time, a rush of adrenaline is secreted, and the smell of sweat is the main theme here. It is completely different from what people imagine that white-collar workers on Wall Street should look like.
Of course, it was impossible for Kaos to be in such an environment. Instead, after entering the company, he quickly went upstairs and sat in his own office. Although it was not as tall as the office at Google, it still had some style. , all furniture is made of leather and solid wood, giving it a solemn atmosphere.
"Well, it's doing very well. If necessary, we can continue to invest more in the future."
Looking at the share agreement between Qiandu and Ctrip brought back from China, Kaos nodded with satisfaction. The 40% of Qiandu shares and the 20% of Ctrip shares only cost Kaos a total of US$3.7 million. .As long as this number of shares is maintained in the future, he will always have a place on the list of the world's richest people.
Among them, Qiandu is really short of money, while Ctrip is in a better situation. Shen Beipeng and several of his partners still have some cash in hand, which is why they are unwilling to deal with more shares at low prices. reason.
If you really want to get more shares in the future, you still need subsequent rounds of investment. That's when Kaos, the financial backer, will show off his power.
"As long as the chairman is satisfied, we have found the iFlytek company you mentioned. However, the company only started to establish the company at the end of last year and only launched the software oicq last month, so he is a little hesitant about our financing. I'm afraid he wants to take a look. Market effect, waiting for price."
Yan Jiadong reported the situation to Kaos very carefully. This was the result of the two months that he and Zhao Mingliang had been busy running around in China. It was also the first task given by the big boss in front of him. , naturally very attentive and careful.
"Well, don't worry, just keep watching. As long as the other party wants to develop, it will definitely need investment."
When he heard that iFlytek's investment intention was not discussed immediately, Kaos didn't care. He was just like Kaos towards Google. When he started to have a certain degree of confidence and when he was not so short of money, he naturally wanted to invest in the product. Sell at a good price, especially if you want to see more of the company's later growth and development.
However, the future of Kaos is destined to be something that Xiaoma will never encounter. The other party launched OICQ this year, but early next year will be a dark period for the Internet. By that time, Yahoo and Google will suffer heavy losses. It was suspected that they were almost going to...
Bankruptcy, let alone a new player like the other party.
After giving Yan Jiadong a few words again, he asked the other party to leave his office, while Kaos looked at the financial report data of the investment company and rated each investment group, which will also determine their future management.
