He originally thought that Xiao Qi's "preferential investment option" was just a polite word, but at the beginning of today's meeting, Lensing made Xiao Qi's request, which surprised him, the representatives, and other shareholders.
After communicating with Xiao Qi over the phone, Masco solicited opinions from other shareholder representatives and immediately agreed to Xiao Qi's request to purchase 10% of the shares.
He, shareholder representatives, reporters, and investors all thought the same thing.
Xiao Qi is so eager to participate in the financing plan. Doesn't this mean that Xiao Qi is very optimistic about Tesla's future?
This is completely conducive to Tesla receiving further attention and financing is booming!
As expected.
Within five hours after the press conference, Masco received no less than 20 calls from well-known venture capital companies, fund companies, and angel investors, and they were all very important in the industry, and there were even more people who were not important.
, Masco could only leave them to his secretary to deal with them.
Several private equity funds and angel investors were the most enthusiastic. After several hours of communication, they immediately came to Masco's office, and a group of people started a very heated discussion.
Finally, late at night, 10% of the shares had been divided among five companies and individuals, and the speed was jaw-dropping.
Such a situation does not exist alone.
The next morning, Musk held another press conference on the spae space transportation company's financing plan, but this time Xiao Qi did not make additional investment, so the originally prepared valuation of US$3.5 billion suddenly dropped to US$3 billion.
, 20% worth of US$600 million worth of shares took two days to sell.
Even so, Masco was smiling from ear to ear.
Now that I have brought in so much capital, I can develop steadily for a few more years, and I am one step closer to realizing my ideals.
I don’t know whether shareholders who will not see any profits will scold Musk or Xiao Qi.
Anyway, Musko doesn't care, as long as he can continue his ideals.
At the same time, because of Xiao Qi's investment and the popularity of the investment community, the three major rating agencies finally raised the ratings of Tesla and SPAE. This further makes people marvel at Xiao Qi's status in the investment community.
Of course, Xiao Qi would not care what they thought.
Of these two investments, one will shine in three years, and the other will achieve some success in five years. They are both long-term investments. There is no need to worry too much.
Originally, Tang Mingxiang also called and asked the child's father if she could also buy some shares. Xiao Qi pondered for a while and asked her not to get involved. It would be better if the few projects he had in hand were enough.
Little Meiji already knew how to use her own advantages to maintain her favor. Listening to her slightly hoarse voice, the babbling voice of Bu'er beside her, and looking at the mother and daughter, they had only been talking about serious matters for 10 minutes.
But when I hung up the video call, 2 hours had passed before I knew it.
I don't know if Tang Mingxiang has enough milk, but Bu'er is obviously better looking than her sister Sophie. She is so chubby and indescribably cute. When she looked at Xiao Qi at almost half a year old, her eyes were wide open.
The appearance is indescribably cute.
Compared with Taylor, who has a girl to do everything, Tang Mingxiang is naturally a little busier, because the sexy girl needs to be taken care of by herself. Even if there is a team of smart and capable professional managers, she still likes to watch the sexy girl.
Sexy girl moves forward.
If you want to say that little Taylor doesn't do anything serious, that's also incorrect.
Several of her previously recorded singles and several Fairy Company product advertisements have been released for more than half a year, but she has not shown up for such a long time. The paparazzi can hardly take pictures of her.
It still leaves fans more or less confused.
Therefore, at Scott's request, little Taylor could only attend several commercial events and hold two or three small fan meetings, which could be considered to appease the fans.
However, fans must not know that little Taylor actually takes her daughter with her. When she attends events or holds fan meetings, Sophie is pushed in the car by Japanese aunties and is secretly protected by bodyguards.
, wandering on the street until mother is about to come back, then return to the large RV nanny car and go home with mother.
I don’t know if Americans are born outgoing, so little Sophie has inherited her mother’s personality. Although she is not yet half a year old, she is full of energy when she goes out and looks around with great interest.
Sometimes when she and Bu'er went out together, she also knew how to climb on her sister's body and babbling to her sister. The two little girls often laughed in a way that adults couldn't understand, which amazed both Taylor and Tang Mingxiang.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Qi thought about it and called Blackstone Group Eo Swartzman again, "Steve, how are you doing lately?"
"I'm very busy, life is hard!" Swartzman said with a wry smile, "I'm not as famous as you. Recently, we have been so busy that we have to divide it into two people. If I had known better, I wouldn't have taken over this mess of Black Rock Group.
Got it!"
With the help of Xiao Qi and others, Blackstone Group annexed Blackstone Group, which was originally the same family as them, and thus became the world's largest asset management company.
But unfortunately, just after the two companies merged, the subprime mortgage crisis broke out. All the assets under their management were suddenly hit hard and suffered heavy losses.
Although more than half a year has passed, the situation can still only be said to be improving, not recovering. It will take at least two or three years for a complete recovery.
Fortunately, Blackstone Group is best known for its prudentness, and they are very cautious about all investments. Blackstone Group has more problems, but if it is sorted out slowly, it will not reach the point of being irreparable.
However, it is inevitable to be in a hurry, as their top management has been working non-stop for the past six months, with no time to rest at all.
Listening to Swartzman complaining incessantly, Xiao Qi just took it as a joke.
If Xiao Qi told them at this time that he was willing to acquire the Black Rock Group, Schwarzman would definitely refuse without even thinking about it. What a joke, how much thought and price did they spend to acquire the Black Rock Group?
He was taken under his command, how could he just hand it over to someone else?
"You are so busy, it seems I have to find someone else." Xiao Qi nodded.
Schwartzman quickly stopped being polite and said, "Wait a minute, what do you want?"
Xiao Qidao: "I have a big business to do, which requires a lot of effort and hardship from you. If you think it is difficult now, forget it."
"It's not troublesome, it's not difficult, there's no problem at all."
Schwarzman immediately changed his mind. What a joke, even Xiao Qi said it was a big business. How could an asset management company like them, which specializes in serving customers, not be tempted?
Xiao Qi said again, "The company I want to control this time is Disney, please think about it clearly."
"Well……"
Swartzman's heart skipped a beat, "Is your magic hand finally going to reach out to Disney? Do you want to buy up all the symbols of America?"
In the hearts of Americans, Disney is not just a company, it has even become a symbol of American culture, rooted in every corner of people's lives, and is forever irreplaceable.
Everyone in the fund industry has heard that the two ladies who are very close to Xiao Qi each own 5% of Disney shares. They have become the second and third largest individuals in Disney through family management of funds.
shareholder.
Many people have speculated that these two ladies must be Xiao Qi's little lovers. Otherwise, how could there be so many rich women who would dare to directly use cash to buy shares of Dickini without blinking an eye? That's not 25 million.
The price is 2.5 billion US dollars!
Schwartzman knew a little bit about the inside story, but he was always very tight-lipped, so naturally he didn't say anything.
Now he couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Xiao Qi, your women already own 10% of Disney shares, isn't it enough? Disney is good, but as a symbol of the United States, it is Disney forever.
I’m afraid that even if you want to own them all, you won’t be able to complete the task!”
"When did I say I wanted to privatize Disneyland?" Xiao Qi listened to his frustration and smiled: "I just want to own 60% of the shares. You can buy me another 50% or so. Why?"
Like this, can it be done?”
"That's it..."
Swartzman thought quickly in his mind.
Although Disney has never been completely controlled by others in the past 50 years, there are only one or two American companies that have been controlled by others. Many large companies in the past were eventually acquired by others.
Although Disney will always be Disney, it is not IBM, Intel, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, or DuPont.
Disney is just an ordinary commercial company. The regulatory authorities in the United States are very open to acquisitions and reorganizations in this area. Compared with Europe, they are more tolerant. This is why large American companies can continue to develop.
, one of the important reasons why private companies in Europe can only slowly shrink.
Xiao Qi is not privatizing Disney, but taking full control of it, which will not trigger too fierce opposition.
The only difficulty is that Disney's stocks are very diversified, and many people are simply not short of money and don't want to sell Disney's stocks.
To complete this business, it will definitely involve a lot of energy, and it will definitely be very difficult for the current Blackstone Group! (To be continued.)
