Chapter 3023 A satisfactory result for both parties
"I don't agree with this approach."
Zuckerberg is worthy of being a tycoon of his generation, and he dared to reject Xiao Qi outright, "40% is too much, and it is impossible for me to take out so many shares. In the period when fae wave ok is developing, I must ensure it."
If you follow my way of thinking, you will not take the wrong path. This is a matter of principle and I will not compromise."
For faebook, Zuckerberg is definitely an indispensable soul. Without him, faebook will lose a lot of enterprising spirit.
Although Zuckerberg has not made mistakes, he has generally made great progress with faebook. He is also the most suitable CEO for faebook.
In the field of social networking, faebook is number one, and Zuckerberg considers himself number one and will never give in to anyone.
"Even if you gave me so many shares, your voting rights still exceed 40%. Isn't that enough?" Xiao Qi said with a smile, "Do you want to be the second me?"
Xiao Qi's stinginess and selfishness regarding shares are famous all over the world.
Although Dreampad and Dreamsta have sold their shares, Xiao Qi still owns 80% of Dreampad's shares and 75% of Dreamsta's shares.
Shareholders have repeatedly proposed that Xiao Qi sell some more, and other investors also want to ride on this wealth train, but Xiao Qi has never agreed.
Including Dreamsno and its components, which have annual sales of nearly 300 billion US dollars, many people are also asking when Xiao Qi will arrange to sell 20 to 30% of Dreamsno's shares like Dreampad and Dreamstar.
.
According to the performance of Dreampad and Dreamstar, Dreamsno can bring investors a return of at least 30% in a year. Coupled with the added value of its own brand, this is a huge fortune.
It is a pity that Xiao Qi has never mentioned this matter, including several vice presidents of Fairy Company. In interviews, they did not say that the company had any thoughts in this regard.
Therefore, Xiao Qi's brand of "stinginess" and "selfishness" cannot be removed.
Hearing Xiao Qi making fun of himself, Zuckerberg also laughed, "I'm not as capable as you, but I'm insecure and don't want my hard work to be wasted by others, so I still choose to believe in myself."
"But you can't sacrifice my wife's interests because of this." Xiao Qi shrugged, "If you have a better suggestion, I'm all ears. If not, I'm afraid next year's IPO will be postponed for at least a few months.
Already."
When Zuckerberg saw Xiao Qi, he knew that today's negotiation would not be easy. Xiao Qi was much tougher than Tang Mingxiang, and he had the confidence to be tough.
He had no intention of making any major concessions, but upon hearing such a threat from Xiao Qi, he still felt helpless.
Although he can, as the largest shareholder and decision-maker, use his voting rights to force Tang Mingxiang to give out more shares, but this will completely break up with Tang Mingxiang. If she directly goes to the Supreme Court, Mali will
Given the capabilities of Ao Law Firm, even if I could win this lawsuit, it would take at least three to five years.
If the fae wave is delayed for three to five years, then why do you want to be number one in the world?
Besides, things like founders forcing investors have never received support from the capital and financial circles. Everyone is likely to invest. If the founders are allowed to be bullied, what else is there to do?
Fae wave ok will definitely become the target of public criticism, and life in the future will not be so easy.
Don’t forget, Tang Mingxiang is the richest woman in the United States, and she has Xiao Qi’s support behind her. If he wholeheartedly embarrasses Faebo, Zuckerberg won’t be able to do anything about it.
Therefore, it was impossible for him to fall out with Tang Mingxiang, so he repeatedly came to discuss with Tang Mingxiang, hoping that she would relent and agree to the request.
Unexpectedly, it was Xiao Qi who came to negotiate today, and his attitude was much tougher than expected. Zuckerberg knew that the conditions he had imagined before might not be feasible.
He needs to come up with more convincing conditions, otherwise he will not be able to quickly reach a unified understanding and complete the IPO process as early as possible.
Originally, the IPO listing at the end of February seemed a bit hasty, but according to a survey by Goldman Sachs, the listing time in February next year is definitely the best time of the year. No one doubts their vision, so Zuckerberg had to
Changed its strategy and prepared to go public at the end of February.
Fortunately, some preparations for asset liquidation, profit analysis, financial statements, etc. were started as early as July, and the world's top accounting firms were hired. Now if Goldman Sachs is confirmed to exclusively underwrite the issuance, then the two companies will
With the combined efforts of the two, it will definitely be a natural success.
"If Mr. Xiao doesn't agree with this method, I have another idea." Zuckerberg quickly made a decision and showed his backhand, "I will take 10%, and Ms. Tang will take 16
% comes out, but the extra 2% from my side and the 3% from Ms. Tang’s side can be promised to be sold in three years. In this way, although we take out 38% in name, in fact it is only 33% now.
.”
He knew that he couldn't just let Tang Mingxiang give up his shares, and he would definitely follow suit, so he took the initiative to increase it by 2%.
Xiao Qi smiled and said, "I don't think this is good. Do you think this will work... We will sign an agreement before the IPO. As long as the shares are in your hands, you will enjoy 3 times the voting rights. In this way, you can get
It’s 15% and Xiangxiang is giving 10%, which is also a very reasonable figure.”
“Three times voting power?”
Zuckerberg's eyes flashed, and after pondering for a long time, he suddenly laughed, "Now I finally believe that you have no intention of fae wave."
As he spoke, Zuckerberg's face was filled with relief.
In fact, he has considered this issue before, but now 2 times the voting decision-making power is already very overbearing. If it is 3 times, it will basically not give others a way to survive. Even if he reduces his holdings to 10% of the shares, he will still own 30%.
% of the voting rights. At that time, when the equity was completely dispersed, 30% of the voting decision-making power was absolutely unmatched by anyone.
Even if Tang Mingxiang still retains more than 20% of the shares, there is no way to compete.
Zuckerberg has no pursuit of money. Even though he has a net worth of more than 10 billion US dollars in his past life and this life, he still lives in the apartment he rented for many years. It seems that he has not moved out in 2013.
On weekdays, his consumption is simpler. Except for going out to eat with his wife, he basically has no time to use money.
So it doesn't matter how much money you have or how little money you have, it doesn't matter to Zuckerberg. The only thing he will never give up is the control over faebook.
Since Xiao Qi has made such a promise to him, Fae Bo OK will still belong to him from now on.
In this case, he might consider selling the shares according to the proportion of shares Xiao Qi said.
"I'll go back and consider your proposal. Also, do you have any other good suggestions?" Zuckerberg looked at Xiao Qi and said, "In the future, Miss Tang will earn a lot from fae wave OK. The more fae wave can be improved,
The higher the stock price of ok, the better it is for her."
"How to operate it is your business. Why do I have so many ideas?" Xiao Qi smiled brightly, "I just want to ask, how do you plan to use the cashed out money?"
Fae Wave OK's IPO was listed with a valuation of US$120 billion, but when Goldman Sachs obtained 3%-5% of the reimbursed shares, the price was not US$120 billion, but almost US$80 billion.
It is not a net profit of one-third. In fact, many procedures and processes for IPO listing are very complicated, and their expenses are also very huge. This price difference almost makes up for their operating expenses, leaving a slight surplus.
All remaining shares will be put into the stock market.
Even though about 30% will be thrown into the market, global financial capital is concentrated in the U.S. stock market. High-quality stocks such as FaE Bo OK are definitely easy to sell. They may have a big hit on the first day.
rose more than 15%.
If its valuation wasn't already too high, an increase of 30% to 50% would seem like a joke.
In general, if Zuckerberg cashes out 15%, he will get at least US$12 billion in cash. Selling stocks will require him to pay a 15% capital gains tax to the federal government, and California still has a 10% capital gains tax.
, which is almost 25% loss.
Such a large amount of cash is certainly enough to do a lot of things.
Zuckerberg nodded and said, "I have a strong interest in the cloud service market and wireless network market, and most of this money may be invested in them. By the way, if your dream company plans to raise funds, don't forget
Tell me!"
"good!"
Xiao Qi smiled and agreed.
Zuckerberg's idea is not surprising. This guy is a person who wants to use network technology to change people's lives.
In his previous life, Xiao Qi also heard in 2013 that Zuckerberg was planning to allow residents of poor countries to use the free wifi developed by faebook, and these wireless signals would be directly transmitted and covered through satellites. This is not two or three times a day.
The achievements that God can achieve cannot be achieved with just a little money.
Only a rich and idealistic person like Zuckerberg would do such a thing! (To be continued.)
