Except for companies such as Meitu Sharing and Fairy Guardian that have officially gone public, the first factor for Xiao Qi to sell shares is not money, but the buyer's influence and social status. [Net(((
For example, Branson, chairman of Virgin Group, chairman of Oracle, Ellison, chairman of Oracle, Qiao Bangzhu, chairman of Apple, and Li Kunxi, chairman of Samsung, are the richest people who have cooperated with Xiao Qi the most. The first three are all famous cannons in the world.
If you offend them, they will jump out and cause trouble. If you offend such people, they will be stuck with dog-skin plaster and cannot take it off.
If anyone offends their interests, they will be scolded all over the world. Although European and American countries are shameless, they still can't stand it if they are scolded too much.
For example, the last time Google targeted Fairy Company, it actually got the support of the United States. But the problem is that Fairy Company has too many related interests, so Branson, Ellison and Qiao Gang leaders all made nonsense, and even the U.S. government scolded them.
, in the end Ellison also paid a fine of more than $0,000, plus 12 hours of community service labor.
But this is not without effect. At least in terms of public opinion pressure, it is detrimental to Google and makes Google very embarrassed.
Including when Su Xiaomei went to the United States later, they were behind her and gave all kinds of support. Otherwise, how could Fairy Company win so easily?
This kind of partner is what Xiao Qi likes.
If it were a richer investor, such as Qatar National Investment Fund, Abu Dhabi Management Fund, etc., the price they offered would be 20% higher than the price Xiao Qi sold it for, and if they were willing to negotiate, it would be okay.
Price is not an issue at all.
But Xiao Qi never agreed to cooperate with them.
Why?
Besides money, what else do they have? How much influence do they have in the world?
If it's just to make money, is Xiao Qi still short of money?
Even if his wealth has shrunk by 90%, Xiao Qi still has assets of over 10,000 million US dollars. This has long been enough for the Xiao family, and there is no need to compromise for money.
Sometimes, selling at a "low price" does not mean suffering a loss. A loss now will still look like a bargain in the future.
Only by having a long-term vision in doing things can we achieve long-term development.
So although Fairy Company has a lot of difficulties now, it is still booming on the whole and has not encountered too many difficulties. Why are you so embarrassed? Several of Fairy Company's best-selling products all over the world also have shares in major European and American companies.
Is it? The app store also has shares in Apple and Samsung. Isn’t it a dominant company? Isn’t it just a Chinese company?
With such successful experience, Xiao Qi has to choose a wider range of partners in a very sensitive company like Uber.
The 20% stake is just the first step. The next time it raises capital to expand its shares, Xiao Qi will dilute the shares of Itochu Corporation and the Steinbrenner family. By the time it goes public, Itochu Corporation will have 8% and Steinbrenner will have 8%.
If the Na family can have 3%, it is considered very good.
As for Xiao Qi himself, he should only retain 25%-% of the shares. Based on the equity of 1.5-2 shares for one share, Xiao Qi can still control the company reliably.
If so many shares are diluted, they will definitely not be given to just one family. Of course, others will definitely be willing to keep it all for themselves, but Xiao Qi cannot give them this opportunity.
For now, in Xiao Qi's ideal idea, this 20% stake should bring at least 5 shareholders to Uber, and it would be best to have 10 shareholders.
But when you think about it, you know it's impossible. If there are 10 shareholders, 20% of the shares will only be divided into 2% on average. How can these people be willing to do so?
People who can participate in a US$6 billion corporate financing project all have capital. Why do they care about how much they spend? They only care about how much they can get!
While he was thinking about it here, Xiao Qi received a call from Xiao Meiji.
"Hey, hubby!" Tang Mingxiang was still so carefree, "I am breastfeeding the baby. This little guy has a smaller appetite than his sister. I think I can breastfeed two at the same time!"
Xiao Qi couldn't help but feel amused, "Okay, you can play the game here. I see Taylor throws little Hansen to you, what should you do!"
"Tch, am I afraid of her? It just so happens that I have another son!" Tang Mingxiang chuckled.
After a pause, she coughed again, "Okay, I'm telling you something serious. Hank, Hank Steinbrenner, you remember, right? You sold me the New York Yankees.
That person.”
"Remember." Xiao Qi said.
"He has been a little flustered these past few days, fearing that you would dilute his uber."
"I told the outside world that I won't dilute the shares this time, just take them from my hands, right?" Xiao Qi said in confusion, "And I asked Li Bot to call him before and asked him if he was interested in cashing out, and he
He said he wouldn't sell it, so I left him alone. Why did he suddenly become worried?"
"Aren't there too many people who want to buy Uber shares?" Tang Mingxiang said: "Some people say that your 20% is definitely not enough, and you will continue to take it out, but you are famous for being stingy, so it will definitely be diluted.
Shares. So someone came to Hank and said, rather than letting Xiao Qi dilute the shares, why not sell it to me now and I will give you a valuation of US$7 billion."
"Then he panicked?" Xiao Qi said with a smile.
"Well, you know, after all, he sold his father's New York Yankees to get shares in Uber and FAE. If he becomes too small a shareholder, he may not be able to survive." Tang Ming
Fragrance path.
"Let him rest assured. This time we will really only sell 20% of the shares." Xiao Qidao, "But you can also tell him that if there is a third round of financing, the shares may be diluted, but at least that
It’s when the market value exceeds 10,000 million US dollars.”
"OK."
Tang Mingxiang agreed, then ouched again, "Xiao Qi, if your son bites me and his sister is a bad brat, my mother will spank you!"
Xiao Qi had nothing to do with this naughty wife. Even though Tang Mingxiang had given birth to two children, she was still so innocent.
Compared to Xiao Qi's slightly shy and reserved personality, the couple complement each other quite a bit.
…
"Oh, okay, okay, thank you, Miss Tang, see you on the next competition day!"
Putting down the phone, Hank Steinbrenner let out a long breath.
Sitting next to him was his wife Lina Steinbrenner. Seeing this, she said happily: "Is there no problem?"
"No, Miss Tang has just confirmed with Mr. Xiao that this time it will definitely not involve the dilution of my shares." Hank smiled and said: "But Mr. Xiao also made it clear that after the valuation exceeds 100 billion US dollars, the entire
Dilute the shares and increase the number and size of shareholders again."
"Ah? We still have to dilute the shares?" Linna said a little disappointed.
"Of course!" Hank likes high-tech and electronic network industries and knows a lot. "It is impossible for a company with a market value of more than 100 billion US dollars to have only a few or dozens of shareholders, except for the largest one or two.
Shareholders, the rest of the shares must be diluted. From what Ms. Tang said, Mr. Xiao may only retain about % of the shares, so it is imperative to dilute the shares of small shareholders accordingly.
But this is definitely not harming the interests of small shareholders, but a situation where everyone is happy. Think about it, I originally exchanged 6% of Uber shares for a valuation of US$25 billion, and a valuation of US$5 billion.
In exchange for 3% of the shares of Fae Book. Now the market value of Fae Book has exceeded more than 100 million US dollars, which is equivalent to a 160% increase in value, while Uber has only reached a profit of 180% in its second financing! Next
If it is diluted again with a valuation of 10,000 million US dollars, there will definitely be a big improvement!
Calculating it this way, we sold the New York Yankees for US$4.5 billion, and the cash of US$1.5 billion has the least value-added effect. The value of the 1.5 billion Uber shares has increased to US$4.2 billion, which alone is almost as good as New York.
The shares of the Yankees are worth so much! And Fae Bo OK’s 3.6 billion US dollars, our family assets will soon exceed 1,000 million!”
At this point, Hank's eyes turned red, "How happy he would be if dad were still here! I also let him see that his son's investment in the new era will never insult him, but will give him a better life."
A credit to the Steinbrenner family!”
In July last year, George Sr. passed away due to illness. Hank's great regret was that he could not let his father see his achievements.
Linna quickly comforted her husband: "Don't be sad. Dad will be very pleased to see your achievements in heaven... Besides, he can't see it, but those short-sighted people can. Look at them.
Now do you dare to laugh at you as a prodigal?"
Hank smiled and nodded, "We will hold a dance in two days to publicize our achievements. We will also let everyone know that our Steinbrenner family will only become more prosperous and will not decline!"
"good!"
Lina agreed.
She immediately remembered something: "Miss Tang, she just gave birth to a baby. According to Chinese rules, I'm afraid it will take some time before she appears in a formal event."
"Then wait a minute! Let's coordinate Miss Tang's time first." Hank said firmly. When Tang Mingxiang gave birth, he and Lina both went to congratulate her, so they naturally knew the situation.
This party cannot be without the presence of the CEO of Ho Segi, the largest shareholder of Fae Bo Ok, and Xiao Qi’s wife! (To be continued.) 8
