Heidi's big eyes flashed and looked at Li Yifan. Li Yifan was a little soft-hearted. He knew that Heidi wanted to spend more time with him.
But he feels that he is really busy now. It is not possible to complete these projects in a day or two, especially involving four factories from north to south, not to mention that there are many complex relationships in it.
Now he doesn't want to expose too much to the Chinese people, especially in front of many unnecessary people, it is best to make a fortune or make a fortune in silence.
When inspecting such joint ventures, it is best to have pure foreigners like Heidi come forward. According to the habits of those people in China who are most afraid of foreigners, if Heidi comes forward directly, it can reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble.
"Forget it, I'm still not going, I have some other things to deal with."
A look of regret flashed in Heidi's eyes, and Li Yifan felt quite guilty. He added some force to his arms, hugging Heidi tighter.
"It doesn't matter. As long as we are busy with this period of time, we still have time, and even have a lot of time. We are together. At the end of the year, I will try to take some time to go to Europe. It's not interesting to stay in China like this."
"real?"
Heidi was very happy when she heard Li Yifan say this. After all, she has been alone for so many years. Although she has become accustomed to loneliness, she still finds it difficult for her to accept that Li Yifan, who has been separated for a long time.
"Of course, don't worry, I said I will do it. I will definitely go to Europe to accompany you at the end of the year."
"Darling. You're so nice."
"Haha. Let's not talk about this for now. When you have completed your inspection in China, I think you will go to the United States to help me acquire some equity in a company."
"Well, what company are you talking about?"
"It's an Internet company. It's just a little famous now. I'm very optimistic about their future development. If you have sufficient funds, you might as well try to buy some."
"Oh? After hearing what you said, I'm even more interested. What company are you talking about?"
"It's Google, which has been very popular recently."
"Google? That Internet company that works on search engines?"
"Well, it's them."
Li Yifan smiled and said to Heidi that after he was reborn, he had never considered it. He came to make money by relying on Google, a big stock market weapon. It was not that he didn't want to, but that was because at that time, first, he did not have capital channels overseas, and secondly, because he didn't have that much capital.
But now it’s different. First, with Heidi’s trustworthy capital channel, second, it’s because he has sufficient funds. The more than 2 billion US dollars earned by the sas epidemic now have nowhere to spend it, so it’s better to invest in Google’s stocks and make a few somersaults.
Moreover, there were many worth investing in the Internet industry in the United States in later generations, but now is not a good time.
For example, a few years later, when the company raised funds and went public, it caused a sensation on Facebook, which was similar to Google. However, the concept of Facebook has not yet been born yet, and the founder of the company has not even attended college.
Although I also know Facebook's philosophy and can completely put aside the founder of Facebook and do it by myself, there is a big problem that the reason why Facebook can develop rapidly in later generations is closely related to the development of Internet technology at that time.
At that time, it was a wireless Internet, and it was a rapid development under the leadership of Apple's mobile phones and tablets. Software like Facebook belongs to the nature of instant communication, but it is closely related to the development and construction of such wireless networks.
Nowadays, countries around the world have not even finalized the specifications of wireless networks. When you come to a website like Facebook, you can only say that you have a lot of money.
In the United States, if you don’t lose your money, you will be lucky. Moreover, there will be some time when the website has developed, so Li Yifan is not in a hurry.
These are all powerful tools for later generations. You don’t have to rush to develop them all too early. Just let it go and wait for them to sprout after the rain.
Once the founder of this website has tinkered with this website, he will definitely need financing, and that is the best time to start his own efforts.
What's more, as early as the beginning of this website, there were not many people who were optimistic about Facebook. The father of the social network once thought about selling the website because of the shortage of funds, so he didn't have to worry at all.
That happened after 2006, and now I should put more experience on Google. You should know that this website was once called a stock killer that defied the sky.
The original stock listed on USD 85 rose to nearly 300 USD per share by the end of that year, and two years later, it rose to 700 USD per share. At its highest, it even broke through the stock price of thousands of USD per share.
If I don’t make a big profit on this stock, I would be so sorry for myself. I used to have no channels and no funds, so I never thought about thinking about this company. But now I have both. If I don’t want to make some money from this company, I would be too stupid.
Li Yifan was still lying on the bed smoking, and at this time Heidi had already gotten up from his arms and went out, took the laptop, turned on the computer, and checked it on the bed.
After Li Yifan finished smoking cigarettes, Heidi almost finished checking the information. She pushed the computer to the side, then lay down in Li Yifan's arms and said.
"Dear, I just checked it. This Google company is not listed yet? How do we acquire their stock?"
Li Yifan was stunned, and then hurriedly explained to Heidi.
This Google company was founded in 1998 in the last century. At the beginning of its establishment, it had less than ten employees.
In 1999, they received a US$25 million financing from Sequoia Capital, and the number of their employees in the same year was less than fifty.
After entering 2000, relying on the 25 million US dollars of Sequoia Capital, they began to recruit soldiers and continuously increase investment in R&D. In the same year, their number of employees expanded to nearly 150, but the company was still in a loss state.
By 2001, as their search engines became more and more perfect, and more netizens were used, their company also began to make profits for the first time. In the same year, their revenue reached more than 80 million US dollars, and their profits reached nearly 7 million US dollars.
And this year, their staff increased to nearly 250.
By the time it entered 2002, Google laid a solid foundation and laid the foundation for this year's time.
This year they created a revenue miracle. Their revenue performance soared from more than 80 million US dollars last year to 430 million US dollars, and their net profit increased tenfold to 99 million US dollars.
Their employees have also increased to nearly 500.
This is the development history of Google in just five years, and as a healthy development company, their finances have been raised once in the first second year, and they do not need external funds to help.
Moreover, the boss of this company is very generous to their employees. In order to retain talents, they are implementing an equity encouragement system for their employees.
In other words, as long as you join this company, you can obtain a certain amount of equity in the company, but these equity cannot be transferred before and for a period of time after listing.
But this did not prevent Li Yifan from asking Heidi to acquire the company's shares.
"You can start from three aspects. On the one hand, you can try to ask the company whether it needs financing. If they need it, of course we can gain equity in the company openly. Of course, this is a bit difficult, after all, their financial situation is very good now. Second, you can contact their employees and managers who own the company's stocks. Although the stocks they have are not allowed to take out now, we can sign futures contracts with them. For example, if their company's stocks reach a price or cannot reach a price, they must sell the stocks they have to use at a specified execution price. You know, after all, not everyone will be so confident in the company, or some people are in a hurry to use money..."
"You're so optimistic about this company?"
After hearing the methods proposed by Li Yifan, Heidi couldn't help but be curious about where Li Yifan got the courage and was so confident in this company.
"Yes, I am very optimistic about this company. Even in my opinion, the future prospects of this company will not be weaker than Microsoft. As for why, I think it should be my intuition and judgment!"
Li Yifan didn't want to give too much explanation, so he could only give an answer that showed off his wealth. Fortunately, Heidi is not a person who likes to dig into the bottom line, and she is a good executor.
"The third point is to simply come to the door and ask them if they are willing to sell the company. But I think this is difficult, but we can try it."
Li Yifan expressed his third idea. To be honest, he felt that his hope was very slim. You know, Microsoft wanted to take over this company later, but in the end it failed. They didn't even look down on Microsoft, let alone himself?
But is it okay to give it a try?
