Chapter 2046 Share Dilution(1/2)
Author: Wilderness Elegy
Today is an informal meeting, and the business frameworks in several directions are almost discussed.
Tomorrow, both parties will send out professional teams to discuss specific cooperation.
At 4:30 in the afternoon, Zhou Buqi and his team left Google, feeling that they had gained a lot today. In particular, Google was going to ax a product called Knol. Larry Page felt it was a pity and planned to transfer it to MSI International.
Although Boss Zhou is very likely to act as a takeover again, it is not bad to have a chance to take over.
Tesla is also a project that Musk took over from others, and then thrived and carried forward under his operation. Taking over is not terrible, it just depends on whether you have the ability to take over the projects that others gave up, and then transform and optimize them.
and operated well.
Zhou Buqi has been a receiver several times in the country, with good results.
Now, it’s time to move to the international market and take over overseas deals.
After leaving Google, he felt that he still had time, so Zhou Buqi decided to meet Sun Zhengyi at the last minute. This guy had urged him several times and wanted to meet, saying that he wanted to talk about the listing of MSI Global.
Procrastinating was not an option, so Zhou Buqi walked over. SoftBank's office in Silicon Valley was also on Sand Hill Road next to Stanford University, right next to Senior Sister Zhen Yu's small studio.
After going there, both parties spoke concisely and to the point.
Son Zhengyi said that he felt the excitement of the mobile Internet era, and he wanted to make a big investment. However, the book funds were a bit tight, and he needed to get the money back first.
Zhou Buqi was slightly startled, "Through Ziweixing Global?"
Son Zhengyi said: "Yes, during the IPO, I want to release some stocks."
When a company goes public through an IPO, it has to sell a large amount of shares into the secondary market.
Where do these sold shares come from?
Generally there are two types, one is to increase issuance and the other is to dilute.
The vast majority of IPO listings are basically the first type.
Son Zhengyi wants to choose the second option.
That is, the company issues part of the additional shares, and SoftBank sells part of it to complete the sales task to the secondary market.
According to Zhou Buqi's established plan, Ziweixing Global wants to put 20% of its shares into the secondary market. The 20% of shares sold through additional issuance will become abundant cash flow on the company's books after the money is returned.
.
What Son means is that MSI Global will only issue 10% more shares, and SoftBank will take out the remaining 10% of MSI Global shares it holds and sell them into the market.
As a result, 20% of the circulating shares still exist in the secondary market.
However, from a financing perspective, MSI Global can only receive 10% of the sales revenue from its shares, while the other 10% falls into SoftBank's pocket.
SoftBank will reduce its shareholding ratio in MSI Global, obtain cash, and actively invest in the magnificent mobile Internet market.
Zhou Buqi gave him a meaningful look, feeling that the little old man was deliberately betraying his favor.
MSI Global was established through buying and selling. It spent too much money. In order to get this thing done, Zhou Buqi raised more than 20 billion US dollars, most of which came from SoftBank.
This has resulted in SoftBank’s shareholding ratio in MSI Global being extremely high, currently still 62%.
The reason why Zhou Buqi wanted to rush to list MSI Global and raise such a large scale of financing was to issue an additional 20% of the stock... A very secret reason was that he wanted to dilute SoftBank's shareholding ratio.
Reduce SoftBank’s shareholding ratio to less than 50%.
In this way, even if SoftBank is still the largest shareholder of MSI, Zhou Buqi controls the board of directors and management, and has 1 vote for 10 super voting rights, so he can firmly control the company.
Power.
Unexpectedly, Masayoshi Son actually proposed to sell shares in a large amount, diluting his share. I don’t know if he is really short of money, or if he is taking the initiative to withdraw to make himself more comfortable in this cooperation.
If it is the latter, then he really has the demeanor of a big shot, a bit like Du Yuesheng in Shanghai.
Zhou Buqi pretended not to know, and waved his hand angrily, "No problem! No problem! Just do as you say!"
Son Zhengyi sat on the chair, bowed slightly and thanked: "Thank you, thank you."
Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "However, I also have something to ask you for help."
"No problem, just say it!"
"I mentioned to you before, the matter of Japanese maids..."
"Ahem."
Son was caught off guard. He thought it was something important.
Zhou Buqi didn't want to see him outside, and said with a smile: "Those maids in your house are very good, I like them very much."
Son Zhengyi raised his eyebrows, not understanding what he meant, "Shall I forward it to you?"
"No, no," Zhou Buqi waved his hands repeatedly, rejecting the idea, and said something in Chinese, "A gentleman does not take away what others like."
"ah?"
Of course Son Zhengyi didn't understand.
Zhou Buqi said: "I have some maids at home, mainly from Brazil, Paraguay, and Colombia. They don't understand the language and have different habits. When the contract expires next year, I don't want to renew the contract with them.
I’m planning on changing a batch.”
Son has seen this kind of thing too many times.
What he is not used to is just a reason. He must be tired of this group and wants to change to a new group. He has an entrepreneur friend in Japan who has more fun.
That man is over 70 years old this year, and he will definitely not be able to play anymore, but this does not prevent him from enjoying the happiness of "food, sex, and sex" in his later years.
"Food and sex" is Chinese culture, but it is a bit conservative in China.
After being introduced to Japan, it has been carried forward at the application level. The most typical representative is the female body. This kind of girl's human body feast really expresses this sentence vividly, and it is also willing to be arty by many cultural celebrities and people with social status.
things to participate in.
That entrepreneur friend who is over 70 years old often changes maids in his family one after another.
It's not that he likes to play, but that he likes to be arty and eat this kind of human body feast.
When this batch of girls gets tired of eating, they will be replaced by the next batch.
Ultimate enjoyment.
Masayoshi Son is Japanese, and he has seen too many weird, alternative, and fancy ways of playing, especially many old men, who become more perverted as they get older.
In comparison, Comrade Xiao Zhou is pretty good.
Sun Zhengyi did not refuse, "Okay, I will help you arrange it."
Zhou Buqi hesitated for a moment, then coughed and said, "It's best to remain a virgin, less right and wrong."
Son Zhengyi smiled and said, "Okay."
Their country already has virginity worship, and the world-famous human body banquet can only be done by beautiful girls who have used up their bodies. This is "clean" and the food will not get dirty when placed on them.
Zhou Buqi was very satisfied with this cooperation and went home happily.
On the way, he called Lu Qi and asked him to find someone to study Google's Knol and then make a report and submit it tonight.
After returning home, the first thing Zhou Buqi did was to play with the children.
Unexpectedly, I saw Senior Sister Zhen Yu holding Ning Ning in her arms. She didn’t know what she was saying. Her little daughter was giggling and laughing. With the child in her arms, Zhen Yu’s eyes were full of warmth and tenderness.
.
Zhou Buqi observed it very keenly at once.
Well, speaking of which, Senior Sister Zhen Yu is also 30 years old this year.
It’s also the age to have children.
"Senior sister, why are you back? Didn't you say you were going to England?" Zhou Buqi walked over with a smile and held her and her daughter in his arms.
Zhen Yu raised her head to look at him, pursed her lips and said, "I'm not going, just give it a few days. There's no rush for Spotify's new financing. They have plenty of cash in their account. I suggest they wait until next spring before initiating financing."
"Strong woman."
Zhou Buqi leaned over and kissed her on the cheek.
Zhen Yu blinked her eyes, "I heard from Bao Shan that you are going to make a big deal again?"
Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Yes, a baseball team... the Los Angeles Dodgers, seems to have filed for bankruptcy. This is an opportunity to buy at the bottom, and it is a legendary team. Don't give up."
Zhen Yu asked: "Will it cost a lot of money?"
Zhou Buqi nodded, "You can't buy it without it, but it's not a big problem. American professional sports are different from European football."
European football is really dark.
There are too many tricks in it.
Accounts are being kept constantly, and there is almost no situation where the club will pay dividends to shareholders. If the club makes a profit this year, it will be invested in the budget for the next season.
American sports are different.
There is a salary cap limit.
Even if you want to invest, you can't.
