Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion

Chapter 391 NVIDIA Shares

After seeing off Ms. Anna, Link jumped from the deck into the sea and swam around.

Sasaki Nozomi looked at the deck for a while, let out a soft cry, and jumped down.

Her swimming skills are good, her legs are slender, and she swims beautifully. However, her physical strength is limited, and she loses strength after swimming for a while. Link takes her to the bottom of the sea, hoping to learn the action ML from the short movie.

After trying it a few times, the experience was not good, so I returned to the yacht.

 After living at sea for a few days, most of the worries in my mind were evaporated by the sun, and I regained some energy.

 In late March, he took a flight back to New York.

Hikari still lives in Miami. In early March, a magnitude 9 earthquake occurred in the Northeast Pacific region of Japan, causing radioactive materials from the two Fukushima nuclear power plants to leak to the outside, causing panic among the Japanese people.

At this stage, the crisis has not been resolved, and the surrounding areas are seriously polluted. It is safer for Xijiang to live here.

As soon as Link returned to New York, he received good news from Ms. Cathy Wood. State Street Capital, Nvidia's fourth largest shareholder, agreed to transfer 3.72% of its shares for a price of US$550 million.

State Street Capital also proposed a transaction method to exchange the Twitter shares in his hands.

The current market value of Twitter is less than 5 billion US dollars, about one-third of NVIDIA, so he needs to exchange about 12.7% of Twitter shares.

 After the third round of financing, Link only has 14.5% of Twitter shares left.

If he agrees to the transaction, his Twitter stock will drop to less than 3%.

Link asked Cathy to continue negotiating with them.

The market value of Nvidia is currently higher than that of Twitter, but Twitter is developing much faster than Nvidia. Its market value just exceeded one billion at the beginning of last year, and it exceeded two billion in August. It has successfully completed three rounds of financing at the beginning of the year, exceeding four billion. It is expected to be by the end of the year. Reached 10 billion US dollars.

　　Twitter plans to go public next year. Will this company become the next Facebook and a 100-billion-dollar company?

 Many investment banks on Wall Street gave a positive answer.

Professional media such as the Wall Street Journal also expressed great affirmation of the development of Twitter, believing that Twitter is playing a great role in the social field. Link has more than 80 million fans on the Twitter platform, and is currently one of the major Celebrities with the most followers on social platforms.

 It also shows that Twitter has great potential.

This has also aroused the enthusiasm of investors. Since the beginning of Twitter's third round of financing, many consortiums and investors have wanted to buy Twitter stocks, causing Twitter's market value to continue to rise.

 The shares held by the second largest shareholder, Link, have also become a prize in the eyes of the consortium.

 According to the current situation, it is inappropriate to exchange NVIDIA shares at normal market prices.

 After several rounds of negotiations, State Street Capital offered 11.3% of Twitter shares in exchange, which was their bottom line.

 After thinking about it, Link chose to trade and exchanged 9.3% of Twitter shares and 80 million in cash and securities for 3.72% of Nvidia shares held by State Street Capital.

 Although Twitter’s market value once exceeded 200 billion US dollars after its listing, it has made unfavorable progress in promotion and advertising profits. It has gradually fallen into a disadvantage in competition with Facebook, Instagram, Weibo and other platforms, and has suffered deficits of hundreds of millions of dollars year-round.

 This has also led to a significant decrease in Twitter users and a sharp decline in market value.

 Musk’s investment of US$44 billion to fully acquire Twitter by 2022 is also related to Twitter’s poor management.

NVIDIA's market value will successfully exceed one trillion in 2023, becoming the fifth American Internet technology giant company to enter the 'trillion club' after Apple, Microsoft, Google, and Amazon. Its market value will exceed two trillion in 2024, with great potential. Bigger than Twitter.

 After the transaction is completed, Link holds a total of 5.3% of Nvidia shares.

 1.6% of the shares were purchased by Ms. Cathy and her investment team from the stock market and other shareholders, spending more than 200 million in cash reserves.

 After acquiring 5.3% of Nvidia shares, Link became the sixth largest shareholder of Nvidia.

The first is Pioneer Asset Management, which holds approximately 13.31% of the shares, the second is Barrett Investments with approximately 12.1%, the third is Fidelity Management and Research with 8.6%, and the fourth is Nvidia founder Jason Huang with 8.2% , fifth is State Street Capital 5.8%.

Link did not hold Nvidia shares in his personal name at the time of the transaction. He used the name of Golden Shell Investment Management Company.

This company was established in early December last year and manages the stocks of all American companies under Link, including 16.2% of Tesla shares, 5.3% of Nvidia shares, 5.2% of Twitter shares, and 0.004% of Amazon shares, with a total market value of approximately 19 billion dollars.

Link serves as the chairman of Jinbeike Investment Company and holds 98% of the shares.

 Ms. Cathy Wood holds 1%, and other management of the company holds approximately 1%.

 The company's main businesses include financial and taxation consulting, investment consulting, financial and taxation agency, asset custody, industrial investment, investment information consulting, etc. It also accepts investment from other customers, with an entry level of US$10 million.

“I have 30 million in my account, how about letting Golden Shell Capital take care of it?”

 At the dining table, Ivaca asked, holding a strawberry on her cross. “Investment is risky, and you need to be prepared to lose money before exiting the market.”

Link said while eating bread.

“It doesn’t matter. With Link Music here, I don’t have to worry about running out of money. The Wall Street Journal praised you for your extremely keen vision and insight in investment. I believe in you.”

Evaka said.

Link smiled lightly.

　Some time ago, the exchange of shares between Golden Shell Investment Company and State Street Capital attracted the attention of many people on Wall Street.

Although a transaction of nearly one billion US dollars is not a lot on Wall Street, because it involves a celebrity like him, it has become hot news.

 Also because Twitter has good development prospects, it is a popular stock.

NVIDIA has been listed since 1999, and its market value once exceeded 20 billion in 2003. In 2005, due to the failure of market decision-making, it fell to 15 billion US dollars. By the financial crisis in 2008, it fell below 10 billion US dollars. It has recovered slightly in the past two years. However, it failed to enter the field of mobile phones last year, and its market value fell again. Its current market value is less than 15 billion US dollars, making it an unpopular stock.

 Substituting a popular item for an unpopular one is obviously an inappropriate operation.

At the time of the transaction, most media believed that it was a wrong decision for Jin Beike to exchange a company stock with unlimited potential for an unpopular stock. They said that Link would definitely regret it after Twitter went public, and would also regret this transaction. He suffered a big loss and became a Waterloo in his life.

However, there are a few media outlets that support his decision.

For example, the Wall Street Journal reported that the U.S. stock market has experienced two financial crises caused by the virtual economy in ten years, resulting in high risks and uncertainties in the virtual economy.

 Link's shift of investment from the Internet field to the physical chip manufacturer Nvidia is a good way to avoid risks.

 He does not explain external comments, good or bad.

After owning a large amount of Tesla and a large amount of NVIDIA shares, he felt a lot more at ease. Now he just needs to hold on to these two stocks and not operate randomly. In ten years, his net worth will be at least tens of billions.

With a net worth of tens of billions, he is considered to be at the top of the pyramid in the United States. The only thing left is to live a stable life, marry a capable and virtuous wife, and give birth to a bunch of heirs, and his life will be complete.

Link looked across at the cold and dignified Miss Ivaca with blond hair on her arm, and suddenly felt that marrying her was also a good choice.

"Any questions?"

Ivaca touched the corner of her lower lip with her fingers to see if there was any jam on her face.

 “If we get married, will you change your name to Evaca Baker?”

Link said with a smile.

Ivaca looked at him in surprise and said expressionlessly: "Yes, provided you propose to me first."

 “How many children are you willing to have after marriage?”

Link continued to ask.

 “How many do you want?”

 “How about ten?”

 “Ten?!”

Ivaca frowned and said calmly: "As long as you don't find it annoying, I have no problem."

Link smiled lightly and continued eating breakfast.

“What exactly do you want to say?”

Ivaca asked, staring at him.

 “Can we have children first and then get married?”

“Absolutely impossible, don’t even think about it.”

Ivaca said coldly.

Link nodded and decided not to take the risk and suffered a loss of blood from Taylor.

Meet the equally strong and independent Ivaca, and if you do this again, you will probably be the one who suffers in the end.
