Chapter 1430: We have a big guy behind us
The two of them read the document report on Google's shares, and Yang Dongxu was very optimistic about this company when Google was first established, and used the offshore company to be Google's angel investor.
At first, I didn't take more than 21% of the shares, but then Google's development has been relatively smooth, and this stake has remained unchanged.
Later, Google, which had just improved, caught up with the Internet bubble crisis in 2000, and in order to keep Google running, Yang Dongxu had to increase investment.
At that time, Google could not find other capital willing to invest in the Internet, so Yang Dongxu obtained another 28.6% stake.
Then Google hitched a ride on Yahu, contracted Yahu's search engine business, and at the same time promoted itself.
has grown steadily for so many years, and Yang Dongxu has also continued to transfer his shares to some offshore companies, so that these companies do not hold more than 5% of the shares, so as not to raise their own cards when Google goes public, and constantly disperse the shares of Google in his hands.
Who knew that last year, that is, in 2004, Yahu suddenly found that Google, the little brother who worked for him, was very good, and he didn't have so much money to buy him.
Since it can't be controlled, it will naturally be suppressed, so Yahu broke off the cooperation with Google and spent money to do the search by herself.
Google has not only lost a big business, but also ushered in a strong competitor, so although the company's operation is not as difficult as in 2000, there are some small twists and turns.
Yang Dongxu had to pay again to make these small twists and turns too stable, and then the shares in his hand unconsciously increased a little, which was a small increase after pulling Kennedy and Little Jack in to share the pressure.
But now he still holds 33% of Google's shares and is the absolute majority shareholder, and those who share less than 5% of the shares in the hands of other offshore companies without listing have reached a staggering 26%.
These are all money, Yang Dongxu will definitely be reluctant to give it to others, but if he is not a US nationality, the Ministry of Commerce of the United States will definitely not be happy.
So last year, Google originally wanted to go public to survive the difficulty of being suppressed by Yahu, but Yang Dongxu was suppressed as a major shareholder and did not go public.
And while he contributed some money to continue to increase his holdings, he lent Google a sum of money interest-free, plus the funds from Kennedy and Little Jack.
Google is not short of money in its hands, so it began to practice the basic skills again without mentioning the matter of going public, and is ready to lay a solid foundation to make a blockbuster.
After more than a year of development, Google, which used to be Yahu's younger brother, is now the world leader of search engines with the support of sufficient funds.
At this time, Baidu was listed, and a guy who was not as good as himself became a superstar of the U.S. stock market just by relying on the Chinese market. Google's IPO will definitely only get worse, so the company's top shareholders are now starting to be restless again, wanting to take advantage of this wave of east wind.
This is also the reason why Yang Dongxu was obviously thinking about whether to go back to his hometown to see his son, after all, he hadn't seen him for nearly a month, but he had to fly to the United States first.
"Why don't I change my nationality. Chen Xin said.
Yang Dongxu looked at her, reached out and rubbed her head, "It's not to that point, but it's also a way, at least having a Mi country identity can save a lot of trouble."
But after you change your nationality, it is convenient to deal with the investment shares of some companies in the United States, but the investment in Sunrise Technology that you managed before, and now the shares related to Sunrise Technology have become troublesome.
The United States is a super tax country, and drug dealers will not be arrested for drug trafficking, because the evidence is insufficient, but they will definitely go to jail for tax evasion.
After you change to a Mi nationality, you must have a share of Mi Guoyan's income and equity in other countries in the world, and I don't want to give them money. ”
Chen Xin rubbed his side face on Yang Dongxu's big hand, and knew that this matter could not be perfectly solved by changing her nationality, after all, she took on the burden of the United States, and the domestic side would leave a mess for Yang Dongxu, mainly because Yang Dongxu could not find a suitable person to take charge of the work left by Chen Xin after changing his nationality.
After lunch, he and Chen Xin took a warm nap in bed, got up at about two o'clock in the afternoon to clean up, and Yang Dongxu and the two went to the conference room of the presidential suite.
At this time, the people who came to the United States to deal with Google things have all come to the office at this time.
Harry Pegg, a grandmother with gray hair dyed a little now, and when he smiles, it is easy to think of Uncle Mi Guo of Huang Bo just by looking at his mouth.
Sherf Breen's decadent aura pervades his body, much like an otaku who often stays up late, looking like he wants to sleep all day but never wakes up.
These two people are the founders of Google, and they are also the absolute second and third shareholders of Google, Harry still has 12.7% of Google's shares, and Sherver has 14.1%.
Although the combined shares of the two people only account for a little more than a quarter of Google's shares, they have a great say in the company's development.
Because although Yang Dongxu has held shares several times, he basically wants shares, and he has not taken away the management rights of these two people to the company, but he will basically stand on the side of the two people in many things.
After all, without him in the previous life, the two founders made Google so good, and he, a layman, naturally didn't have to point fingers at Google to make a mess, as long as he slept at home with shares and counted the money.
In addition to the two, there are also little Jack and Abel in the conference room, little Jack now has 4.5% of the bone shares, and Abel represents the Kennedy family with 5.6% of the shares, he entered the market a little earlier than little Jack, so he has a little more bone shares in his hand.
The rest of the shares are in the hands of some other investors, but most of these shares only have the right to dividends and no voting rights, so they are the same with or without such a meeting.
"I won't talk nonsense knowing that everyone is busy. Yang Dongxu walked to the main seat and sat down, "I invited a few people over today to discuss the issue of Google's listing."
At present, the listing of Huaxia enterprise Baidu has caused a great sensation, so it is imperative for Google to go public.
However, before that, Harry and Sherver were very interested in YouTube and decided to buy the company to make up for Google's missing board width.
What we need to discuss today is whether the acquisition of YouTube should be placed before or after Google's listing. At present, Google has sufficient funds in its account, so there is no problem even if it does not go public to raise funds to acquire YouTube.
However, if the news of the acquisition of YouTube is released after the listing, and the acquisition is successful, it is not difficult to pull Google's stock higher than Baidu.
But there is a premise here, the development of YouTube is very fast, and now it will take about two months for us to start preparing for the listing.
If you go public and then acquire YouTube, it will take about one month to negotiate everything smoothly. Therefore, if you buy oil in three months, you may need to pay hundreds of millions of dollars more. ”
That's right!
is to pay hundreds of millions of dollars more than three months, and the speed of YouTube's development after the intervention of the big guy is so exaggerated, and it has been sitting on the rocket thruster and soaring.
"...... you here" Harry looked at Yang Dongxu a little worriedly, and so did Sherver.
Seriously, regardless of nationality, Yang Dongxu is really a good collaborator, no matter what problems the company encounters, he will come forward to solve them as soon as possible, ask for money, ask for money, and ask people to give people.
Google has developed so well in the past two years, which has a lot to do with the fact that many middle-level backbones of the company were poached by Yang Dongxu.
Otherwise, with Harry and Sherf, on the one hand, to expand the company's market, and on the other hand, to engage in internal company team building, Google will definitely not be able to develop as well as it is now.
At the same time, Yang Dongxu never pointed fingers in the company, and even when he had a disagreement with the two of them, he never used his identity as a major shareholder to force him.
It is all about convincing two people with sufficient reasons and evidence, and such investors are difficult to find all over the world. But it's a pity that capital has no borders, but capitalists do.
"Before the listing, I will reduce my nominal shareholding to less than 5% and will not participate in the holding of cards, and the Ministry of Commerce will no longer be an obstacle. At the same time, Little Jack and Able are not simple capitals. Little Jack is from a California consortium, and Abel helps the Kennedy family run their business, and the two of them help you feel at ease. Yang Dongxu said.
Harry and Sherver looked at the new shareholders who had joined the company in the past two years with some surprise, and at first they only thought that these two were not called mysterious consortiums.
I really didn't think that behind these two people one is a consortium, and the other is one of the four major politicians in the United States.
The two of them were still a little worried that if Google wants to become stronger, if it doesn't introduce some Mi consortiums, it is very likely that after rising to a certain height, it will encounter a blockade by the ceiling consortium.
Now that concern has completely disappeared, the shareholders of his company are not only conglomerates, but also political families. Looking at the background of the entire United States, Google is definitely a top and one can play existence, so the surprise of the two is that they can't hide it.
"In the past two days, Baidu's stock has been falling, although it has been very strong hovering around $195, but the heat of the market is gradually dissipating.
So my suggestion is to do both at the same time, and we will negotiate with YouTube while preparing for the listing. The successful listing here will directly announce the news, and then let the stock price soar. Harry said a little excitedly.
"That's a good solution, but the question is how much do we have to bid to sell the rapidly expanding YouTube pipeline to Google. Yang Dongxu said.
"This ......," said Harry and Sherver, both with a momentary dullness on their faces.
In the past few months, YouTube has been like eating an expansion agent, giving people a sense of domineering that I want to dominate the world and not be bad for money, which is indeed very bluffing.
Anyway, no matter what other people, if they were the owners of the tubing, they would definitely not sell the tubing at this time, unless it was a high price that could not be refused.
So the question is, if it is an absolutely high price to win YouTube, the supplement of this business will make more money for Google, or will it lose money, after all, the acquisition must consider the cost performance.
