Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Vol 2 Chapter 1517: Microsoft goes public

This negotiation made Steve Ballmer happy, but also a little frustrated. As the vice president of Microsoft, he is known as the most negotiating talent in the company; the other party has not spoken for so long in the previous negotiation. I didn't expect Bao Zixuan to come here; in less than an hour, it was even better than I expected. Is he really not suitable for business negotiation, or because of the huge gap in strength; at this time, he is still a little confused.

Perhaps seeing that Steve Ballmer was a little frustrated, Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Steve, the Valkyrie group is like this, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard. In fact, it all takes a process. When I started a business, it was the same. No less angry. But it's definitely not going to happen in the future because you're going to be a billionaire and you're only going to get richer."

"It should be a happy time to let girls all over the United States see a different Microsoft executive."

Hearing this, Steve Ballmer didn't say anything.

After returning to the hotel, several people cheered when they heard that the stock price had doubled directly. As for Paul Allen, who went shopping with beautiful women, everyone has no opinion on this. People don't care about things, not to mention finding a girlfriend is not easy. As a friend, you must support it.

The next morning, Bill Gates, Paul Allen, Steve Ballmer and Charles Simeone rarely put on formal suits. Although they want to be different, they are not allowed to be willful on today's occasion.

As for Bao Zixuan, it still did not appear. At this time, he was in the Nasdaq VIP reception room, looking at the high-spirited four people. Next to him are Goldman Sachs President Bruce Bowers and Morgan Stanley head William Morgan. The bigger the boss, the less likely he will go out to grab the limelight at this time; because for them, making money may be more important than anything else.

Bruce-Bowles said with a smile: "Mr. Bao, I heard that Microsoft has just been established, and you have participated in the investment. Your vision is really admirable."

In fact, there are no secrets at all. As an underwriter, you must know everything about the company; if you don't even know the situation of the shareholders, you don't dare to take any next action.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Actually, I am only optimistic about the computer field, not only Microsoft and Apple, but I have also invested in a lot of computer-related companies. There are only some successes and some failures. But for us, failure is not the same. It's not unacceptable."

"The initial investment of venture capital is not large. As long as one company goes public; even if the other 99 companies fail, they can still make money. Both of them are Wall Street tycoons, so you won't deliberately lie to me here!"

In fact, everyone understands the truth, but there are not many people who can really do it. They are different from Bao Zixuan, they must have a dazzling performance for the board of directors to see.

A lot of venture capital investment, although the return rate is amazing, but the time can take a long time. As a professional manager, the board cannot give you too long. Therefore, when investing, you must be cautious, or you can see returns in the short term. Only then can they stay in position longer.

This is why they use all their resources to become the underwriters for the listing of enterprises. Because this is the fastest way to make money, and relatively less risky. A company is ready to go public; it shows that there is no big problem in all aspects of its situation.

After the listing, the handling fee for selling the stock and other profits can be very considerable. Therefore, Wall Street capital bosses prefer to do this kind of work.

Of course, there are futures, foreign exchange, stocks and other investments that can see returns.

William - Morgan: "Mr. Bao is more free, and he can invest in anything he wants. We can't compare to you. Even if we see a good project, we don't dare to start easily."

Regarding the problems of Wall Street companies, Bao Zixuan is somewhat himself; but those have nothing to do with him, and he can't change it.

At this time, the time to market has arrived. The four began to ring the bell, which was a tradition, announcing the official listing of the company.

Microsoft stock is still very popular in the market, and the institution that bought it at the beginning was overjoyed when I saw that it reached $20/share at the opening. In other words, they did nothing and already made double the profit. Although I don't know what's going on, it's always good to be able to make money.

In order to prevent accidents, Bao's richest man still called the staff of Blackstone Fund to stay in the United States, always paying attention to Microsoft's stock price. If there is volatility, buy a portion. He must not be in the cold, he can't afford to lose that person.

Fortunately, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley did not disappoint. They took out funds to raise the stock price, at least to give Bao Zixuan an explanation. After all, it's a matter of face, and they can't afford to lose that person.

Seeing the stock price rising all the way, Bill Gates and several people are very excited, and their ten-year efforts have finally been recognized; I guess only I know this feeling.

Within an hour, the stock price had reached $30. Seeing this, Bao Zixuan was very satisfied. So he smiled and said, "I don't know if Goldman Sachs is interested in continuing to cooperate."

Hearing that Goldman Sachs was mentioned, and nothing about Morgan Stanley; it upset William Morgan next to him.

JP-Morgan first founded the famous investment bank JP Morgan. The Great Depression broke out in the 1930s. The U.S. government believed that the super bank was the cause of the Great Depression, so a bill was introduced to prohibit commercial banks from engaging in investment banking business at the same time.

In this context, Morgan Bank was divided into three parts, JP Morgan became a pure commercial bank, Morgan Stanley became an investment bank; there was another Morgan responsible for overseas business, which was acquired by German Bank in 1990.

Simply put, Morgan Stanley and Morgan are all "J.P. Morgan". Although it was split, the largest shareholder is the Morgan family. It's just that Morgan Stanley has always been a collateral management, which can be regarded as a check and balance. Thinking of the complicated relationship between Bao Zixuan and the Morgan family, William Morgan immediately understood what it meant. It's not wanting to work with yourself, or to exclude Morgan Stanley.

Of course, Bruce Powers knows the **** plot between this kid and the Morgan family. Now is not the time to talk about loyalty; if he can connect with the Black Cloud Group, he will not suffer. Bao Zixuan's strength is on the one hand, and its business reputation is impeccable.

It is said that the Morgan family is in conflict with others, and Goldman Sachs cannot be blamed for eating alone. If it was before, there might be some scruples; but now they are doing their own business, and of course they can cooperate if they have the opportunity. In addition, the partners were dissatisfied with the Morgan family, and did Goldman Sachs give up? There seems to be no such reason in the world.

Bruce Bowers said with a smile: "Mr. Bao wants to find someone to cooperate with, and I believe no one will refuse. I don't know what business I have, and I want to take care of Goldman Sachs."

Although it is uncomfortable, I still want to hear what business the two of them are talking about. Bao Zixuan was able to say in front of him that he wanted to cooperate with Goldman Sachs. Then it is definitely more than just stimulating him and the Morgan family behind it. Maybe it will be a trap, but I can't care about that much at the moment.

Even if it's shameless, keep listening.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "As one of the most well-known investment banks on Wall Street, Goldman Sachs thinks that it will be an underwriter for a stock every time, so how long will it make money? Earn all your retirement pensions for the rest of your life."

The business that Bao Zixuan wants to cooperate with ~www.readwn.com~ will definitely not be small. And being able to earn all of the retirement pension for the rest of your life is enough to show the richness of the profits.

Bruce-Bowles said with a smile: "Mr. Bao, you've made me a little confused; what kind of business can earn a pension for the rest of my life. Although I'm not like you, I still have a big family to support."

The meaning is obvious, his appetite is not small, at least bigger than expected.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Your Excellency Fucaira must be clear about what it has to do with me, let alone say more."

"I want to build a stock exchange in Fucaira; the target is well-known companies from all countries in the Middle East, which can be listed in the past. It is still an undeveloped virgin land, so there are unlimited business opportunities."

"To tell the truth, I am more proficient than Your Excellency in industrial manufacturing and aerodynamics. But when it comes to securities trading, Mr. Powers is the expert."

"If you have an idea, Goldman Sachs can participate in the construction of the Fucaira Stock Exchange. In fact, I don't value Goldman Sachs' financial strength, after all, I am not short of money. It is mainly your professionalism, as well as Goldman Sachs' contacts and channels, That's the most inspiring place."
