Wall Street Legend

  Chapter 335 Closed door

  Jeff Bezos' tone was a bit weird, and he might have sensed Ye Dongqing's little thoughts.

As the CEO of Amazon, it’s hard to know. Recently, Danshui Investment Group once again purchased Amazon’s stock at a crazy premium. The fifth largest shareholder and the seventh largest shareholder fell one after another. Facing the high premium, he succumbed and sold the stock For Danshui Investment Group, he has not forgotten who the only shareholder of that company is, and it can be seen from the side how much Ye Dongqing is optimistic about his company.

Seeing the almost crazy investment inspired Bezos. Since even an external investor is so optimistic about his company, he feels that he should also take a longer-term view and firmly continue to be optimistic about the company he created. This company, so I don't intend to succumb to this little profit in front of me.

As long as he promises Ye Dongqing, he can probably earn two to three hundred million U.S. dollars. To be honest, it is also a big gamble for Bezos. He uses the current Amazon shares to mortgage the loan. If the stock price falls next and the company encounters any setbacks, then he can It's a big loss.

But at Bezos' age, he has gradually become indifferent to material enjoyment. Apart from his family, the company is everything to him. Therefore, after making a decision, he does not intend to go back on his word and is determined to participate in this financing plan of increasing new shares. middle.

  Meeting investors like Ye Dongqing is both good and bad for a listed company.

  The advantage is that he bought stocks crazily, which directly pushed up Amazon's stock price higher and higher, indicating that major shareholders are firmly optimistic about their company, which has a greater positive impact than the company's own stock repurchase.

On the other hand, due to the continuous increase in holdings, the number of tradable shares on the market has decreased a lot. In addition, several other brokerages have begun to be optimistic about Amazon and invest in the acquisition of stocks. There are fewer tradable shares, which is not conducive to the rise of the stock price. Just like a company with an excessively high stock price, it will split the stock into new shares with a lower price but a larger number. This is a trouble that only successful companies have. Junk stocks have no people pay attention.

As the two shareholders transferred their shares to Danshui Investment Group, the amount of shares held by Danshui Investment Group has now exceeded that of Mr. Jeff Bezos, as high as 31.9%, which cost Ye Dongqing 30% billions of dollars.

There is no way, except for the investment in the early stage, there is a premium in the later stage, and other shareholders agree to sell it to him after spending money on it. Later, people know that he wants it, so they raise the price a little bit more, and naively think that they have made a lot of money. , If there is no accident, you may cry and faint in the future.

   After being rejected by Mr. Bezos, Ye Dongqing has nothing to do.

Although he holds more shares than the other party, the voting rights of the same stock are not the same. Unless he is unwilling to manage, or chooses to sell most of the shares, or has a major mental problem, otherwise, no matter what It is the other party who has the final say. Just like Xiao Zha was in deep trouble at the time and dragged down Facebook, but other shareholders only suggested that he hand over the management rights. After learning the experience of enterprise management, the allocation of decision-making power will be considered from the time of financing.

   replied: "Well, I respect your choice, that's fine."

  Mr. Bezos replied and contacted again, and immediately hung up the phone. Hearing the busy tone from the phone, Ye Dongqing was distressed that he would lose a lot of money again.

The reason why I say it again is because the MIH Group, which had already been shaken, has recently changed its mind temporarily. Seeing that Tencent has made money in portal websites, games, and virtual peripheral businesses, it suddenly told that it does not plan to sell stocks, even if Danshui Investment According to Ye Dongqing's intention, the group is willing to start with a valuation of 1.5 billion US dollars, but they are not willing to sell.

This is probably the trouble of becoming famous. As Ye Dongqing's investment projects became popular, others began to believe in his good luck and foresight. Guys who can manage large companies are often not too stupid, just like holding on tight. Like SoftBank Group, which owns Alibaba shares, MIH Group is also preparing to hold it for a long time, and there are some signs of making money from the current good development trend.

Recently, Ye Dongqing even began to consider whether he should register some shell companies elsewhere. In addition, with the repentance of the MIH Group, he began to consider whether he should be independent from Tencent and engage in a new concept of online business with Pony and others. The company just doesn't want to make money with this bunch of back-and-forth guys.

Of course, missing this opportunity to start a mobile phone does not mean that there will be no opportunities in the future. Judging from Tencent's financial reports in the first and second quarters, the expansion speed has obviously slowed down. In Ye Dongqing's opinion, it may take a while Slowly, digest the resources now occupied, which means that there is still a chance to contact the MIH Group, and wait until these guys think that there is not much potential for improvement.

I was a little depressed, but then I thought that I already owned a lot of potential stocks, and I couldn't monopolize the entire market by myself, so I calmed down and asked someone to show me the financial report, personnel arrangement, ongoing project information, etc. Look, the computer was given to Marci to play games, and he learned about the company's latest trends.

During the period, several project managers were brought in to understand the situation. Regarding the project of the online news website, it was cheated by a group of media companies some time ago. This made Ye Dongqing realize the importance of the right to speak. Compared with spending billions of dollars to It is more affordable to buy a well-known newspaper or create it yourself. I discussed with these people for a full hour and a half, and it was lunch time in the blink of an eye...

  ************

  After communicating with the CEO, Ms. Becky Moore set up several special working groups today according to Ye Dongqing's request.

One group was responsible for drafting new rules and regulations, and the other group immediately recruited a sample of employees to conduct a survey and asked them what dissatisfaction they had with the company. The COO of the company came to the town of Santa Clara in person, went to the city hall and the local The supervisor met with him and asked about the land planning around the company.

   This makes the boss speak up, and the employee breaks his leg.

Thanks to the perfect professional manager system and standardized legal guarantees, Ye Dongqing has more free time and can rest assured that the specific management will be handed over to others. What about the CEO of Facebook? Europe went to open up the market by itself.

  Ever since Skype was sold, Ye Dongqing hadn't met with the management over there, and felt that it seemed a bit too impersonal, so after lunch, he went to the floor where he was staying to give condolences.

When the boss makes money, the employees under him have also received generous bonuses recently, which can be regarded as a good get-together, not to mention that only a small number of people are accepted by Microsoft. Most of them will follow Ye Dongqing in the future. After showing up, of course Will not be treated indifferently, very enthusiastic...
