Centennial Family, Rising From Hong Kong Island

Soon, a middle-aged white man walked into Gai Zi's office under the leadership of the secretary.

With a faint smile on his face, he stretched out his hand towards the lid: "Mr. Gates, hello, I'm Hanover."

"Hello, Mr. Hanover."

The two exchanged a cordial greeting first, and then Hannover began to enter the topic.

"Under this big storm, all companies in the United States are having a hard time! Many companies have gone bankrupt, and I heard that Microsoft's situation is not very good." Hannover laughed.

Of course, the cover couldn't admit this, but said: "Our situation at Microsoft is not bad."

Hanover shook his head lightly and smiled, "Mr. Gates, the stock price can't be fooled."

"Believe me, I'm here to help you."

"Before this, I have conducted some investigations on you, and I heard that Microsoft, and Mr. Gates, your personal financial situation is not good."

Gaizi's face remained unchanged, and Hanover continued: "The bank won't give you too much time."

These are the facts, Lid had to admit.

To say that Microsoft's situation is very good is just a means of negotiation.

And the arrival of Hannover is a good thing for Microsoft.

"Mr. Hanover, let's talk about it, what is your purpose for coming to Microsoft?" the lid asked.

"I'm here to solve your practical difficulties!"

"Buy Microsoft stock?"

Hannover nodded as a matter of course.

Gai Zi immediately shook his head firmly: "Impossible, Microsoft is my heart, and I will not sell it."

Hanover smiled.

"There is nothing that cannot be sold, all that matters is the size of its interest."

"If I'm not mistaken, what you discussed just now is how to sell the stocks in your hands to repay the loan and avoid bankruptcy."

"But the embarrassing thing is that no one wants to take your stock."

"Of course, except me!"

After hearing this, Gai and the others were embarrassed. How did this guy know that they were talking about stocks just now.

Is there a traitor?

"What price are you going to buy?" Li Li said softly.

Hannover stretched out two fingers: "Two percentage points higher than the current stock price."

two percent?

Li Li thought he had heard wrong.

Then he became angry instantly. Is this taking advantage of the fire?

"Impossible!"

"Microsoft is a great company. Its value has only been seriously underestimated. After the financial crisis passes, it will rise again."

Too low for the lid to accept.

When he repurchased shares from Fengyun Capital, he spent nearly 200 million for just 8.5%.

If he sells it at this price, he will lose a lot.

Hanover was not angry, but shook his head slightly and said, "Mr. Gates, you are right, Microsoft is an excellent Internet company."

"But in today's market, all Internet stocks have become junk stocks, and no one is willing to buy Internet stocks."

"Microsoft's greatness only exists in the future possibility, but more likely, it will fall on the way to the future.".

Chapter 606: The real winner [ask for flowers! Ask for a monthly pass! 】

"Fuck, shit, bloody vampire!"

"Wall Street is a bunch of sons of bitches."

On this day, after Hannover left, there was a loud roar in Gai Li's office.

The lid that has always been a gentleman, now acts like a deranged gambler.

He did lose miserably!

Just now, he has reached an acquisition agreement with an angel investment company.

Angel Venture Capital will acquire 15% of the shares in the private hands of Gaizi with a capital of 180 million US dollars!

In other words, the current angel venture capital valuation of Microsoft is 1.2 billion US dollars.

It is higher than the stock price in the current market, but it is far lower than the real value of Microsoft, and it cannot be compared with the market value of 2.5 billion before the stock market crash.

Before the stock market crash, Gaizi repurchased 8.5% of the shares from Fengyun Capital at a price of US$200 million.

Now it has to sell 15% for 12.8 billion US dollars.

This time and again, Gaide not only lost 20 million US dollars, but also lost 6.5% of Microsoft's equity.

The assets have shrunk by half, and the control over Microsoft has become weaker.

awful!

And in addition, angel investment also bought 6.8% of the shares from Dave and other founding teams at the same price.

As a result, angel venture capital is mastered 21.8% of Microsoft's shares.

And that's just the beginning!

Also on this day, another major shareholder of Microsoft Corporation, Sequoia Capital headquarters also welcomed a guest.

"Ms. Stephen, hello!"

In the office of Sequoia Capital's investment director, Tollef, sitting across from him was a white woman in her thirties.

She has long, blond, wavy hair and wears business attire. She has a good figure, and she doesn't have the bloated body of most white women in their thirties.

The only shortcoming is probably the slight freckles on her face.

She is the CEO of Stephen Foundation!

Very young, and very unfamiliar to Wall Street! !

It was the first time that the person in charge of the project department of Sequoia Capital had heard the name of this Stephen Fund company.

After Tollef had someone do some research, he found that the company was registered two years ago.

It's just a small investment company, and it hasn't done much in the past two years.

There are thousands of such obscure investment companies in the United States.

Big venture capitalists like Sequoia Capital generally don't look at them directly.

And it must also be noted that this woman named Stephen is only the legal representative and CEO of Stephen Fund.

But the shareholders of the fund are other people, three other small venture capitalists who are also unknown.

Seeing this, Tolev understood.

This Stephen VC is just someone else's glove.

The same is true of the three financial companies. This kind of thing is too normal on Wall Street, with cross-shareholdings to hide the real behind-the-scenes shareholders.

It doesn't make much sense to search further, because some offshore companies will definitely be found.

That would be even more clueless.

Therefore, Tollef doesn't plan to care so much.

Now that the financial crisis has not passed, Sequoia Capital is also terrible, and there are endless things to do every day.

He doesn't have that much thought to care about an ordinary venture capital!

"Mr. Tollef, I am here today. I am going to discuss some cooperation with Sequoia Capital on behalf of Stephen Fund." Stephen said, his voice was somewhat neutral.

"Is there anything I need to help? Sequoia Capital is happy to help." Tollef chuckled.

Stephen nodded slightly: "This stock market crash is terrible, and Sequoia has lost a lot this month."

Tolev interrupted her: "These are normal losses. No one would have expected this stock market crash, right? We at Sequoia are doing our best to save it, and the company's situation will improve soon."

Stephen chuckled: "I understand, but if there is a sum of money to help, Sequoia can live more easily, can't it?"

"what do you want?"

Tollef doesn't intend to go around the corner anymore. The cooperation between the two financial companies rarely involves other than investment transfer and equity trading.

"Personally, I am more optimistic about the Internet industry. Although Internet stocks have become junk stocks in the stock market, who knows that they will not rise again in the future?"

"I want to take a gamble that Sequoia Capital should have a lot of stocks in Internet companies." Stephen said.

"Internet? You actually want to buy Internet stocks." Tollef was a little surprised.

Sequoia Capital is a large Wall Street venture capital institution with strong assets and many clients.

The Internet industry is naturally their investment scope.

"Which company's stock do you want?"

"Microsoft, Oracle, Adobe, Intel, Apple, Qualcomm, Cisco..."

Stephen mentioned the names of a series of companies, all of which are well-known Internet companies.

Before the stock market crash, the stocks of these companies were chased by everyone, and the stock prices rose like rockets.

But after the stock market crash, Internet companies without real asset support have become a pile of stinky shit, and no one is willing to take over.

But now I never thought of a Stephen Fund.

There has never been a shortage of smart people in the world.

"To be honest, I am also very optimistic about the future of the Internet industry. I once thought that Internet technology is another leap forward in the development of human industry."

"Although in this stock market crash, the stocks in the Internet industry fell the worst."

"But I still firmly believe in my point of view." Tollef said confidently, but then shook his head helplessly, and sighed softly:

"Unfortunately, I am the head of the investment department of Sequoia Capital, and I am responsible for my clients."

Sequoia Capital is a large investment company, and its large scale means that it has many internal ideas.

Their most important principle is to be responsible for customers.

Of course, there are many things that cheat customers.

Tollef certainly believes in the broad prospects of the Internet industry, but unfortunately, as a professional investment company, what they want is not the future, but the present.

How to avoid the loss of customers and create greater benefits is what they have to do.

Selling Internet stocks, they may lose a large amount of income in the future, but they can solve many difficulties in the present.

So, it's easy to make a choice.

Tollef nodded slightly and said: "Ms. Stephen, I think we can talk further.".

"Crash~"

"Crash~"

"Crash~"

In the Greater Bay Area of ​​Hong Kong Island, successive gunshots rang out in a private leisure area.

This is a club covering an area of ​​about two hectares, without any sign, closed to outsiders, and a private place.

It is developed by Butterfly Bay Real Estate Company and belongs to Galaxy Group.

It was later converted into a gun club.

The most important thing is that the guns used in this club are not game guns, but live ammunition.
