Liu Datou is indeed a hero who is destined to be prosperous. After just thinking about it for a few days, he gave his answer.
agree.
Liu Datou agreed to invest in the newly formed company at the cost of brainpower and labor, occupying 15% of the shares, and officially entered the UK.
Xiao Qi had long known that Liu Datou would swallow this bait.
Although Liu Datou had no income before the profits came out, with a capital of 5 billion US dollars, he could own 15% of the shares. Calculating 6 billion Hong Kong dollars, it was almost equal to his family property. Such a huge temptation,
It's strange that Liu Datou can bear it.
If there is no income, there will be no dividends. As the chairman, he will not receive a salary. The shares cannot be traded within 10 years... These harsh conditions are all written in the contract details.
This means that Liu Datou cannot make money for the company, so he will not have any income. He looks very fat, but he cannot eat.
Liu Datou didn't care about it himself, seeing it as Xiao Qi's encouragement to him. There was no such thing as a free lunch in the world, let alone such a large sum of money.
And if the conditions were too loose, he would still be suspicious, fearing that Xiao Qi might have some trap for him to fall into.
As everyone knows, Xiao Qi made such a harsh contract just to reassure him. After all, Liu Datou himself doesn't know that he will be so successful in the British real estate industry that he will defeat his British colleagues and become a real estate agent.
The UK's number one real estate developer.
After Liu Datou was settled, Xiao Qi called Virgin's boss Richard Branson and prepared to discuss cooperation.
He had told Branson before that Branson is a madman who covers almost all industries that can make money. Naturally, he is also interested in real estate, especially when Xiao Qi also joins.
But friends are friends, and business is business.
, shares used for equity participation.
He had already done a lot of favors to Xiao Qi when he purchased shares of Dreampad last time. Now that they are doing business together, even though Xiao Qi relies on him, why isn't he making a fortune along with Xiao Qi?
"I don't know about your negotiations with another partner, but there is no reason to do business without investing capital." Branson said: "Getting something for nothing is not suitable for my way of life, not to mention that I have money now!"
He is indeed rich.
Branson purchased 5% of Dreampad shares in the name of a Virgin subsidiary in which he holds the largest share. Basically, he has a 60% interest.
In other words, based on the calculation that last year’s Dreampad dividend was 30% of the purchase price of US$130 billion, it is estimated that in another year, he will be able to pay off the loan he took to purchase Dreampad shares, thereby truly becoming Dreampad’s profit.
Benefits.
But he also has regrets. This is because he really had no money at the time. The 5% stake in Dreampad worth US$6.5 billion was already his worth, so he used the name of the company and repaid his personal loan to invest in the company.
Buy the dreampad.
Now that Dreampad is so prosperous, the shareholders of that Virgin subsidiary are of course unwilling to give up their shares, even if Branson wants to acquire it.
Let’s ignore this matter.
Now Xiao Qi calls Branson, but he is not in the UK.
"I'm in the Arctic Circle of Canada. Let's talk more about it after I get back." Branson, holding a high-tech satellite phone, said in a loud voice: "The last time Sam caused trouble in the United States, it gave me a lot of feelings.
.I brought Sam here to let him feel the cruelty and ruthlessness of nature. So that he would not cause trouble to me all day long and not know what to do."
Xiao Qi smiled brightly after hearing this.
In his previous life, Branson also took his son to the Canadian Arctic Circle. He also felt that he was just trying to have fun with nothing to do. It was only this year, and I really don’t know how such a coincidence came about.
The person just hung up the phone. Over there, Li Xiaochao came to the door.
"Qi Shao, my father has allocated 6% of K's shares from the Li Family Fund to me." Li Xiaochao said with a smile on his face, "He also allocated another 1 billion US dollars to me to help me expand.
Production, do a good job in both hardware and software aspects."
Xiao Qi was stunned for a while when he heard this.
Is it a good thing that Li Chaoren is so generous to his youngest son?
You can understand it as a good thing, but more often it can be understood as a bad thing - a bad thing for Li Xiaochao.
In his previous life, Xiao Qi knew that Li Chaoren had three parts of his property: the shares of Changshi Group, the Li Family Fund and the cash flow he held.
In 2013, Li Chaoren's method of distributing his property in advance was to give all the shares of Changshi Group and the Li Family Fund to his eldest son Li Dachao. His younger son Li Xiaochao received 20-30 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash from his father, and then there was
Li Chaoren helps to clear up connections and provide behind-the-scenes tips to build relationships.
Outsiders have estimated for Li Chaoren that the combined value of Changshi Group's shares and the Li Family Fund is at least about 30 billion U.S. dollars. If you add in the investments hidden by the family funds, it is not impossible to reach 40 billion U.S. dollars.
In comparison, Li Xiaochao only received less than 5 billion US dollars in property, which is really too little.
Now Li Chaoren has given both shares and cash, making it clear that he still wants to follow the same path as in his previous life.
Even so, Xiao Qi could see that Li Xiaochao was happy from the bottom of his heart, so he couldn't figure it out.
"Second Young Master, don't you think the old man is partial?" Xiao Qi couldn't help but ask.
"My eldest brother has a calm personality and is suitable for inheriting the Li family's property. Of course, I have to leave the bulk to him." Li Xiaochao shrugged, "And I don't like to sit in an office all day long and have meetings to study countermeasures.
Dealing with those shareholders. He can give me so much, and I am already satisfied.
Besides, my father has long said that I still have a share in my eldest brother’s place. My father has already written a will. If my descendants have a bad life in the future, the family fund must give me at least a share every year.
The descendants here spend 1 billion Hong Kong dollars. Thinking about it this way, I think it’s not bad.”
Xiao Qi had never heard of the 1 billion Hong Kong dollars a year that Li Xiaochao mentioned, but considering the fact that Li Chaoren only had two sons, he still had to leave this option for his second son.
But Li Xiaochao’s so-called contentment still has to be based on the success of his career.
Relying on the success of Star Electronics, Li Xiaochao has a net worth of US$7.6 billion, ranking 11th on the Hong Kong rich list.
If Xiao Qi expands the scope of cooperation with him, transfers some of the Dreampad orders, or increases Dreamstars OEM orders, then when the Hong Kong stock market picks up next year, there will be no problem at all for Li Xiaochao to reach the top ten in one fell swoop.
Under such circumstances, when basically all his family property is earned by himself, Li Xiaochao can certainly proudly say that he is satisfied with whatever his father gives him.
While Xiao Qi was feeling emotional, Li Xiaochao asked with a smile: "Qi Shao, have you watched the Hong Kong stock market these past two days?"
"I probably know a little bit." Xiao Qi nodded and said, "The situation should be bad now."
"It's not just bad, it's really bad!" Li Xiaochao laughed, "Hong Kong's leading stocks, HSBC Holdings, Huaguo Petroleum, CNOOC... including my father's Cheung Kong Group, all of them can't stop trading.
It’s falling! I don’t think the U.S. side has collapsed yet, but the Hong Kong stock market is probably about to collapse.”
Xiao Qi smiled brightly: "Second Young Master, your star electronics is still in the Hong Kong stock market, right? Are you on your own?"
"No, mine has also dropped. Since the oil crash, my Star Electronics has dropped by 10% cumulatively, but it is the smallest drop among Hong Kong index stocks." Li Xiaochao said with a smile: "Other companies can.
It's tragic. Without the support of our good performance, when the global economy is in confusion, a drop of more than 20% is easy."
"Your family's stocks have fallen, and you are still so happy?" Xiao Qi shook his head.
"I'm thinking about your instructions, Master Qi." Li Xiaochao said easily: "Although my Mingxing Electronics will fall, my fundamentals are still there. As long as Fairy Company's products continue to sell well, my Mingxing Electronics will soon rise.
It will rise back... However, TVB has been in a bit of trouble recently. As far as I know, the third shareholder Dodge Cox Fund Company and the fourth shareholder Marathon Asset Management Company have suffered a lot of losses in financial investments recently. If anyone is willing to raise the price a little bit,
Acquisition, then it is very possible to get the stocks in their hands."
Li Xiaochao was attentive. Xiao Qi asked him to pay more attention to TVB stocks on the stock market, but he even inquired about those institutional investors, which shows that this person is relatively reliable.
"What about Li Jia and Shao Liuye?" Xiao Qi asked about the second and fifth largest shareholders.
, Lijia still has 2%, plus about 3% each from the third and fourth shareholders.
"They made no movement and did not respond to the people we sent." Li Xiaochao shrugged and said: "Master Liu is a shrewd person, but Mrs. Li can't let go of this feeling... But if we are in the stock market with other people,
If two shareholders acquire enough shares, it will only be a matter of time before they surrender."
"Then let's deal with the other two major shareholders first!" Xiao Qi pondered for a moment: "Temporarily use multiple accounts to acquire, and don't expose your feet."
"Okay, don't worry, I'll do very little!" Li Xiaochao promised, patting his chest, "If it doesn't reach 75%, I'm sure no one will notice!" (To be continued)
