Wall Street Legend

  Chapter 293 Competition?

Shareholders’ consent is required for the issuance of additional shares, which means that listed companies refinance. Shareholders or investment institutions often have priority financing rights to ensure that their own shares are not diluted. The price is generally calculated based on an average price some time ago. .

Once the company has money, it can invest again and create more income. It will have some impact on ordinary shareholders, both good and bad, but overall it is a good thing, especially for Amazon, which is fighting eBay. In other words, it has been losing money year after year, and now it needs money to continue its development.

  Ye Dongqing has no intention of voting against it at all. At this moment, he is just thinking about how to ensure that his shares will not be diluted with the increase in shares. If possible, he would like to go further and continue to increase Amazon shares through Danshui Investment Group.

Calculated, the market value of Amazon this year is more than 5 billion US dollars, and it is about to break through 6 billion. If you want to win the shares of this company, the price is not small. It is more cost-effective to invest in Alibaba in Huaxia. The current market size It's small, but the market value is also low. Backed by such a large market, coupled with Ye Dongqing's help, maybe he can create some surprises and achieve higher achievements than he remembered.

  The guests from Calcavela have already invested, and now the funds have been transferred away and put into an official account for sealing. There is a high probability that they will be confiscated, or returned to Iraq for construction.

This has little impact on Danshui Investment Group, because Ye Dongqing has already found a next home, and people including old Bernard and others have agreed to pull money to buy wealth management products, and the amount is likely to be more than two billion U.S. dollars, which means Freshwater Investment Group will have an extra sum of money, which can be used as an investment.

  With the shares of Facebook, Skype and other companies as guarantees, the Securities and Exchange Commission only requires one-tenth of the total amount to be invested in low-risk areas, so they are very well-off at the moment.

There are more than three billion U.S. dollars lying in the account, and then there are several large investments that have just been negotiated recently, including the more than three billion U.S. dollars that are pressed in the crude oil futures market. The entire company was acquired.

If Mr. Jeff Bezos can nod and tell him that he can operate in this way, then Ye Dongqing will definitely spend one billion dollars without hesitation. However, Amazon is very popular recently, and the entire Nasdaq Internet sector is relatively Huo, he can see the opportunity, and other investors and investment institutions can also see it. After a relatively stable year in 2003, the market became restless again.

   "You know, the price of new shares will be lower than it is now. As long as there is an opportunity, no one is willing to give up the opportunity to increase their holdings, except me, a poor man."

Mr. Bezos's tone was somewhat self-deprecating. Amazon has been losing money, so it is naturally impossible to distribute dividends. More than 97% of his wealth is paper wealth. No other big income, count as "poor billionaire".

  Ye Dongqing was slightly surprised: "Don't you have money to buy new shares? Why don't you use the current share pledge loan?"

"Loan? But how do I repay the money? Do I rely on the income from the management company? I predict that it may take five years for Amazon to make a profit, and the money from the profit will also be used for company development. I am worried that I will not be able to repay the debt after maturity. Banks The group of guys will definitely take the shares from me, it’s better to be more stable, after all, I have worked on Wall Street, and I know what those people think, money comes first.”

Well, Ye Dongqing is also lying on the ground, but he doesn't think there is anything wrong with liking money and pursuing success. He focused on other aspects and asked, "Have you promised to give up buying new shares? If there is any Maybe, I am willing to buy your part of the new share quota. I will first lend you free money to take the shares, agree on a price and delivery date, and transfer the shares to me directly after the expiration.

  You can change hands to make some money, and I can increase my shareholding in Amazon, and use the additional new shares as collateral, which has nothing to do with your current assets. "

At the beginning, Jeff Bezos came to New York, and made a little name in Wall Street with his personal ability. After getting tired of life in the financial circle, he thought of starting his own business. He went to Seattle a few years ago to found Amazon. There must be a brain, and it is much smarter than ordinary people.

  He could understand what Ye Dongqing said, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you serious about interest-free loans and option trading? Just like the underlying stocks of your warrants at that time?"

"That's right, it's great, isn't it? The price can be calculated based on today's stock price, and we can discuss it at that time. Maybe you can earn tens of millions of dollars from it, which is better than nothing." Ye Dongqing sniffed out business opportunities , trying to lure Mr. Bezos into agreeing to his proposal.

As he said, this is indeed a win-win deal, but Mr. Bezos actually still has some thoughts about the new shares. He is still considering whether to take a mortgage recently. At this moment, he told Ye Dongqing: "Give me some time to think about it, and I will I will give you an answer in the near future.

There is actually one more thing to see you today. I want to enter the Huaxia market, just like what eBay is doing. I heard that you are also trying to enter the online shopping mall market through a Huaxia Internet company. This will cause a conflict of interest between us , I have to get the answer from you face to face. I am worried that this will affect our relationship. It would be great if you could give me some advice. There is not even an expert in the company who understands the development of Huaxia Online Mall. "

  Nodding seriously, Ye Dongqing said: "Fortunately, you told me in advance, otherwise I would have to think about how to appease you when I beat you up in the Huaxia Market.

Don't waste money and time on Huaxia, I have already completed the preliminary layout there, and it won't be long before eBay will abandon the Huaxia market with its tail between its legs, even if Amazon goes there, I just invested An online business company that is very suitable for the local environment. "

"Don't be kidding, I know that your company hasn't even started operations, just started developing programs." Mr. Bezos thought that Ye Dongqing was trying to scare himself with pretentiousness, and wanted Amazon to give up the market over there. In his opinion Amazon can be successful in countries such as the United States and Europe, and going to China is no exception. It is very confident in the direct sales model.

"It's not that company. I wonder if you've heard of Alibaba's Taobao.com? It's a model in which individuals sell goods through the platform and sell them directly to users. It's similar to eBay, but it's not exactly the same. This Internet company has completed a total of 500 million US dollars in strategic financing, so it is better for you not to compete with me, otherwise you will definitely experience failure for the first time..."
