My Age of Investment

"Daerun, listen to my advice, you really can't get married like this!"

Blankfein sounded a little excited, "If we have to end it, we have to give up Facebook and let Christina leave the company.

In this way, you and Kristina are just two ordinary shareholders and can no longer interfere with Facebook's operational management and top decisions.

But I think investors don't want to see such a scene.

The three founders, you, Xiaoquan, and Kristina, all resigned before the company went public, which greatly damaged the confidence of investors. "

Xia Jingxing reacted indifferently and asked, "What else?"

Blankfein's lips curled up slightly, and he knew that Xia Jingxing was a smart man.

What he said just now was just a way for him to test Xia Jingxing.

"Option two, you give up your status as the largest shareholder."

Blankfein sighed, "I know this is hard to accept. Facebook is a company you founded, and you played an irreplaceable role in its growth.

But, it’s so important, you know what I mean.

You can keep that part of Vision Capital's holdings because it's not your fund alone.

But the combined shares of your other holding platforms should not look too eye-catching. "

Xia Jingxing said calmly: "You mean, let me sell some of my shares?"

“Yes, sell it to Christina and let her replace you as the largest shareholder.

Or launch two more S funds and inject part of Facebook equity into the funds.

There is also a plan to set up a trust fund for your son and put part of the Facebook shares into this trust fund.

The above three options can be done individually or combined together.

In short, you can't show that you still have a strong influence on Facebook. "

Xia Jingxing silently thought about the three plans proposed by Blankfein, all of which were very feasible.

"Do you think if I do this, it will eliminate the impact of Christina and I's childbirth incident?"

"It cannot be said that it has been completely eliminated, at least it can eliminate a large part of it, because both of them are Americans born in the United States, and you are a Chinese and are unwilling to naturalize in the United States."

Xia Jingxing said, "Okay, I understand. I will consider your suggestion carefully."

"Daerun, you have to think more about it in the future. Even if no one attacks you this time, someone will use this to criticize you in the future.

If you choose to take a step back and withdraw a large amount of cash, you can still use the money to invest in other projects with higher returns.

Facebook's current valuation is already very high, and there is not much room for appreciation if it continues to be held.

And with this opportunity, you can completely solve Facebook’s historical problems, and no one can use this matter to attack you and Facebook anymore.

Facebook is the Facebook of the United States, and this can be unanimously recognized.

After Facebook goes public, if you think it still has investment value, you can buy it through the secondary market, and no one can stop you. "

Xia Jingxing already had a very clear plan in mind and said with a smile, "I understand. Thank you, Mr. Blankfein."

"Who told us to be friends? These suggestions of mine are all for your sake."

Xia Jingxing smiled silently, and after chatting with Blankfein for a few more words, he hung up the phone.

Then, he called Mack Jinchen's phone number.

The other party's reaction was similar to Blankfein's, and he also gave Xia Jingxing three options: top, middle, and bottom.

After making the phone call between the two of them, Xia Jingxing started a video call with Kristina.

He recounted all the conversations he had with David Rockefeller, Liu Hai, Blankfein, and Mack to Kristina.

After listening, Kristina was completely confused, and her head was buzzing.

Seeing Kristina's dazed look on the screen, Xia Jingxing asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

Kristina waved her hands quickly, took a long breath, and said, "I'm fine, my mind is just a little messed up. Please leave me alone."

Xia Jingxing closed his mouth and looked at Kristina on the other side of the screen silently, his eyes full of worry.

He was actually fine, but this incident undoubtedly put more pressure on Kristina.

Pregnancy before marriage, giving birth to children in China... these things are destined to be reviled and even threatened by white supremacists.

At the same time, she has to deal with the government, shareholders and other major forces to satisfy everyone and not affect Facebook's listing promotion work.

Kristina suddenly raised her head and said, "I want to know, what do you think?"

Xia Jingxing did not answer the question directly, but stated with a faint look: "Vision Capital currently holds 19.77% of Facebook's shares, 8.88% of which belongs to me personally, and other shareholding platforms I control add up to a total of 26.29%. .

After equity penetration, I hold a total of 35.17% of Facebook equity.

You hold 12.58% of the shares, which is a bit too small.

But the two of us together own nearly half of the shares, which seems very imaginative. "

Kristina frowned, "Is there any problem with this? Your shareholding ratio may drop to less than 30% after being diluted by the IPO.

This shareholding ratio is not high. U.S. capital already holds more than two-thirds of the shares. Doesn’t this dispel some people’s concerns and hostility? "

Xia Jingxing smiled. For ordinary American companies, the foreign shareholding ratio of 30% is not high.

But for large multinational technology companies in the United States, it is rare to see foreign investors holding 30% of the shares, or even 10%.

Of course, this is related to the size of the company. It is impossible for foreign investors to spend so much money to invest heavily in a company.

In U.S. technology stocks, generally the largest shareholders, even the largest institutional shareholders, are giant mutual funds such as BlackRock Investments, Vanguard Group, and Fidelity Investments.

"Most of the shares held by Vision Capital belong to high-ranking officials, so there shouldn't be much resistance, and there will be some selling after the listing, and there may only be fifteen or six points left in the end.

And your shareholding ratio is too small. It may be less than 10% after dilution after listing.

I want to transfer 10% of the shares to you, and you will become the largest shareholder of the company. "

Christina shook her head quickly, "I can't take it. You have already transferred 10% of your shares to me before."

If Kristina didn't know what the 10% of shares that Xia Jingxing transferred to her meant before, then she knew now that it meant giving away an astronomical amount of wealth.

The 10% Facebook shares transferred four years ago for about US$1 billion are now worth at least US$6 billion.

If she receives another 10% of Facebook shares, these shares may be worth US$10 billion or US$20 billion in the future...

Kristina's refusal was expected by Xia Jingxing. He shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not like I won't give you money, you have to take on another loan."

“In a few years, you only need to pay one or two equity points to repay the loan.”

Kristina has not yet repaid the equity mortgage loan from a few years ago, but as long as she wants to repay it, she will only need to pay two points of equity for the US$1 billion loan including principal and interest.

If equity dilution is not considered, the equity transfer four years ago was equivalent to a net gain of eight points of Facebook equity.

"Just take it, so that everyone can feel reassured. At least the biggest beneficiary of Facebook's listing is an American, not a Chinese."

Kristina thought for a long time and said, "Otherwise, you transfer the equity to Enoch."

Xia Jingxing smiled and said, "If he says so, I will separately transfer 5% of the equity to him to set up a trust fund."

Hearing this, Christina was both relieved and amused. A two-year-old child who didn't even know money was already worth billions of dollars.

In Chinese terms, reincarnation is a technical job.

Xia Jingxing counted on his fingers: "After transferring these 15% shares, in addition to the holding platform of Vision Capital, I also hold 11.29% of the shares.

It’s not too eye-catching anymore, but it’s inevitable that others will include Vision Capital, which holds more than 30% of the shares.

Therefore, I plan to break up all the 11.29% equity and inject it into external funds such as Rockefeller Family Office, Gao Ling Capital, Snow Lake Capital, Global Investment, Tiger Asia, etc., so that it will no longer be reflected in my name.

I no longer retain any Facebook shares in my name. "

Kristina asked: "Isn't this three hundred taels of silver that is not available here?"

"Do you still understand this idiom?"

Christina didn't say anything, she just rolled her eyes.

"No, everyone will think that I transferred the Facebook equity to my son, and Vision Capital, isn't it also recognized by everyone as a company that I control?"

Xia Jingxing smiled and spread his hands, "This way I will be empty-handed and no longer directly hold any shares in Facebook.

Facebook is going to be listed anyway, so I can just focus on the secondary market from now on. "

Facebook's development path in the primary market is indeed coming to an end. Xia Jingxing feels that as long as the price is right, there is no harm in selling some equity.

Calculated based on the market value reaching 100 billion US dollars after listing, and the valuation reaching trillions of US dollars in ten years, it is a ten-fold stock in ten years. It is not a rare investment target, and there are countless projects with a higher return rate than it.

As for being unable to let go of his feelings for the company he founded, he can only leave it to his son and Kristina to inherit.

Kristina thought silently, and it took a long time before she said, "This won't cause a lot of loss to your interests, right?"

Xia Jingxing smiled. After such operation, most of the meat was rotten in the pot.

If you really want to care about it, Rockefeller and Gao Ling Capital may be able to earn some management fees and shares of equity appreciation income.

But the money can only be called drizzle, and he also completed the goal of diversifying investment silently, which is not without gain.

"Compared to a slight loss of profits, I actually care more about you and my son. I'm afraid that you will be hurt."

Xia Jingxing looked at Kristina with loving eyes. He felt that this test was not that easy.

The main reason is that Kristina gave birth to a son for herself, and at the same time her relationship with him is still disconnected. This is a big loss in the eyes of the senior management. It would be unkind to help launch a few color revolutions without working hard.
