Chapter 2221 A transaction equivalent to the estate of the fifth richest man in the world
After DreamSnow went on sale, the negotiations on the transfer of AppStore shares finally came to fruition after a week of arduous negotiations.
The negotiators of Apple and Samsung couldn't help but drag their feet. Now Dreamsnow has skyrocketed as everyone expected, selling out 40 million units in 8 minutes. How domineering is this?
Xiao Qi agreed to transfer the app store to Apple and Samsung, but now the share transfer agreement has not been signed, and it still depends on the negotiation conditions.
If the offer was too low, Xiao Qi would definitely not do it.
The offer was too high, and the two companies were unhappy.
But in fact, the price in the app store cannot be lowered.
When it came to the transfer of Dreamstars shares, because Citibank was waiting for Dreamstars shares to save its life, it gave a valuation of US$300 billion that exceeded the market valuation. In fact, at that time, the reasonable market price of Dreamstars should be around US$250 billion.
But because Citibank abruptly raised the price, those companies and individuals that later bought Dreamstars shares had to pay according to the valuation of US$300 billion, which gave Xiao Qi an advantage.
Of course, Xiao Qi is taking advantage at the moment, but from a long-term perspective, these people are definitely worth the money to read novels on their mobile phones.
You know, according to the previous example of Dreampad, Dreampad only sold 20% of its shares once and never sold them again. The subsequent sales continued to be hot, but those shareholders made a lot of money.
Therefore, it is very likely that Dreamstars’ shares will only be sold once, and you will not be able to buy them again if you want to buy them in the future. Based on Dreamstars’ profitability, a valuation of US$300 billion is not an exaggeration.
The profitability of appstore and its influence on the entire smart electronics industry cannot be compared with Dreampad and Dreamstars. Especially in terms of influence, the two combined cannot compare.
In January of this year, the three major rating companies ranked the current smart electronics industry. The first one was the app store. In response, Morgan Stanley valued the app store at as high as 400 billion U.S. dollars, saying
It is the "overlord and core of the smart electronics industry". It also holds the same opinion as Goldman Sachs, which also gave a high valuation of US$330 billion.
Fairy Company's negotiators, of course, calculated based on the highest US$400 billion, but Samsung and Apple's negotiators were naturally unwilling to do this.
For this reason, Apple and Samsung have once again formed an alliance and often discuss together in private how to suppress the lion's mouth in the fairy company.
But no matter how much they delay, it will naturally have no effect in the face of strong strength and facts.
As soon as the sales results of Dreamsnow came out, the three companies reached a preliminary agreement that afternoon.
With a valuation of US$380 billion, Fairy Company transferred 7% of the app store shares to Apple and 5% of the app store shares to Samsung. Since then, Apple has become the second largest shareholder of the app store, owning 12% of the shares. Samsung owns 10% of the app store shares.
, becoming the third largest shareholder.
Fairy Company still owns 78% of the absolute controlling stake in the app store. Of course, this is just the surface. In fact, it is controlled by two offshore companies, Mingxiang Holdings and Qicai Investment, each of which owns 39% of the app store shares.
Although Qicai Investment and Mingxiang Holdings are Xiao Qi's private companies, and Xiao Qi owns 100% of the equity, such dispersion also has the cover of an international offshore financial company. There are benefits in many aspects - but in the world financial
In the circle, there are almost no people who don’t know about Qicai Investment and Mingxiang Holdings.
It is a certainty that the two major companies, Apple and Samsung, will acquire shares in the app store. Everyone already knew about it last week.
Knowing the app store's ultra-high valuation of US$380 billion, what everyone is most concerned about now is the high price Samsung and Apple will pay.
After all, Apple’s shares in the app store are worth US$26.6 billion, and Samsung’s shares are worth US$19 billion!
However, the two major companies are very mature companies. If necessary, their boards of directors are not inclined to give Xiao Qi cash, but want to pay with shares or something, which is also to a certain extent to deepen the relationship with Xiao Qi.
Fairy Company Partnership.
Xiao Qi didn't quite agree with this.
First of all, Apple's stock is certainly good. The market value of Apple's stock is only about 100 billion U.S. dollars now, but it will rise to 500 to 600 billion U.S. dollars in the future!
But he has already obtained 10% of Apple's shares. If it is increased, I am afraid that Gang Leader Qiao will be more wary of Xiao Qi's seizure of power, and the US government is definitely not willing to see Xiao Qi holding too much, even if it is not looking for it now
Trouble, Xiao Qi will definitely be forced to spit it out in the future.
Samsung is in a different situation. Xiao Qi is not optimistic about the future development of Samsung. To be precise, Xiao Qi is not optimistic about Samsung after Lee Kun-hee.
Companies and consortiums in Asia usually belong to the boss. This boss is wise and powerful, and can naturally develop the company prosperously. Once the boss leaves and another person takes over, it is very rare for these consortiums to succeed.
The glory of the past. - For example, if you look at the Hyundai consortium, which used to be more powerful than Samsung, what will it look like now once the old man passes away?
Even though Li Jianxi's son and daughter are both high-level executives at Samsung, Xiao Qi has never seen what they are capable of from his past life to this life.
Li Jianxi is 67 years old, and his health is not very good. It is not certain whether he can be in charge for another 10 years. Therefore, Xiao Qi holds a large number of Samsung shares, which is not safe in terms of value preservation.
Therefore, Xiao Qi only emphasized that he wanted cash, and he was not even willing to include the supply of Samsung parts that he had done business with before in the transaction.
Faced with such a tough attitude, Samsung and Apple could only finally give in.
But these are not too big a problem for them.
Due to the rapid re-emergence of iPod, iPhone and iMac, Apple's cash flow has already exceeded 50 billion US dollars. This is also the most reassuring confidence in the financial crisis.
Samsung is a super conglomerate supported by the whole country of South Korea. If it runs out of money, the money in the bank is their money. It’s only 19 billion US dollars, and Samsung doesn’t have to pay for it itself.
Therefore, Fairy Company reached an agreement on payment methods with Apple and Samsung.
Apple's $26.6 billion will be paid in three months, while Samsung's $19 billion will be paid in half a year.
Okay!
After receiving 45.6 billion US dollars in cash in one breath, Xiao Qi suddenly became the focus of heated discussions around the world and the envy and envy of countless people!
"Among the top ten richest people in the world in 2007, Mr. Xiao Qi is certainly the well-deserved number one, but the Swedish owner of IKEA, who is ranked fifth, has only US$33 billion. This means that Mr. Xiao Qi's current transaction,
He created the fourth richest man in the world, ranking behind the fourth richest man Carlos Dentsu of Mexico. Combined with the previous Google, and the previous Cisco, Yahoo, etc., we have to sigh that the Internet era has really created super rich people.
The best place!”
"Xiao Qi is such a profiteer. Although the app store operates all over the world, because it is registered in a tax-free paradise and coupled with reasonable tax avoidance methods, the final amount he will get from this business will definitely not be less than 40 billion US dollars!
I wonder if this will be a blow to those companies that are honestly registered in the United States... or an inspiration?"
"What I'm concerned about is that the 2008 world's richest list, which will be released soon, will ignore this 40 billion US dollars again? There are also 78% of appstore shares, 80% of dreampad shares, and 70% of Xiao Qi's shares.
%Dreamstars shares... Oh my God, how much does it cost? Add in his huge wealth in China, can this guy surpass Rockefeller 100 years ago and become a real super rich man with a net worth of US$1,000 billion?"
"It only took Xiao Qi less than 5 years to go from an ordinary high school student to the world's richest man, and the undisputed richest man in the world! His achievements are enough to make any entrepreneur in the world.
I feel so ashamed! What kind of talent is it that makes Xiao Qi so amazing?"
"Although we don't want to admit it, I still have to say that unless there is a big change, Xiao Qi's position as the world's richest man may have to stay for decades! At least so far, we have not found any
Any company can pose a threat to Xiao Qi's Fairy Company! I wonder if Mr. Xiao Qi feels the sadness of not having an opponent now?"
"According to our latest information, Microsoft and the Qatar Asset Management Authority have submitted a purchase application to Xiao Qi. Microsoft is willing to apply to purchase 5% of the app store shares at a valuation of 400 billion U.S. dollars! The Qatar Asset Management Authority is even willing to purchase 5% of the shares of the app store at a valuation of 4200 billion U.S. dollars.
Purchase 5% of App Store shares at a valuation of US$100 million! This shows that the development potential of App Store has long been recognized by discerning people around the world! Congratulations Xiao Qi! Your intelligence has brought you the most generous rewards!
