My Age of Investment

While everyone was talking about it, Xiao Quan stood up bravely and said: "In the last round of lifting the ban, I also had a small number of stocks lifted, but I didn't sell any shares. The second round of stock lifting is coming soon. I still won’t sell the stocks I hold.

Because I think the stock price of more than ten dollars corresponding to a market capitalization of US$50 billion is too low and not worth selling. "

"Yes, how can you sell it for more than ten dollars? At least it has to break through the historical high stock price of more than fifty dollars." Andrew agreed from the side.

After the two of them finished speaking, they found that the scene was a little cold because no one echoed them.

Breyer sneered in his heart. He had already seen that this was a trick carefully arranged by Xia Jingxing in an attempt to persuade them, the early investors who had a large number of unblocked stocks, not to cash out because Xia Jingxing and Kristina had the highest shareholding ratio and ran away. If they can't move so fast, they can only stay behind.

Other shareholders also maliciously speculated on Xia Jingxing's true thoughts.

Because everyone present knew that Andrew and Xiao Quan had always followed Xia Jingxing's lead. It was too normal for the two of them to support Xia Jingxing, and they lacked enough persuasion.

Xia Jingxing seemed to be able to guess what the shareholders were thinking, and then said: "It's not that I'm being alarmist, but the amount of the second round of stock lifting is really too large, with more than one billion shares, which is more than the amount of the previous round of lifting. Out nearly ten times.

Vision Capital has also released a large number of stocks. If you choose to run with everyone, the stock price will definitely be smashed. By then, none of you here will be able to run. "

Peggy Dulani, a representative sent by the Rockefeller family, David Rockefeller’s eldest daughter and already scheduled to be the fourth generation head of the family, said: “The current stock price of Facebook is indeed not ideal, and the Rockefeller Family Office will also have Some stocks are unblocked, but we will not sell the stocks.

Because we are long-term investors, we will never do those short-sighted behaviors. "

Xia Jingxing nodded to Peggy Dulani and accepted the other party's overture.

Peggy Durani had a smile on her face, but she was actually cursing in her heart.

She didn't know what kind of ecstasy was poured into her father's mind by Xia Jingxing, so he spent a large proportion of the family's assets to establish a joint family office with Xia Jingxing.

Calculated, the cost of the Rockefeller family’s investment in Facebook is nearly US$40 per share. Now Facebook’s stock price fluctuates around US$30. In fact, this investment has already lost money. How can they dare to sell the shares easily at this time? Therefore, we can only choose to continue to wait and see, which is equivalent to supporting Xia Jingxing.

With the Rockefeller family, a very important shareholder, taking the lead in expressing their stance, other shareholders also expressed their stance, with different choices. Some followed Breyer's example and euphemistically expressed that they wanted to sell some shares to recover the investment cost; others felt that it was the right time to sell. I'm immature, so I'll wait and see.

In the end, shareholders divided into two camps.

Vision Capital, Rockefeller Family Office, Yinnock Trust Fund, SoftBank, Jerry Yang, Xiaogu, Andrew, David Ferro, Andrew and other people and institutions, plus Gao Ling Capital, Snow Lake Capital and other Maji funds have chosen to stand with Xia Jingxing Together.

Kristina and the management can also be seen as advancing and retreating together with Xia Jingxing.

Axel, President John, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and DST were vague in their remarks. They seemed to have made up their mind to cash out no matter how low the stock price was.

Xia Jingxing was not too surprised by their choice.

Those who are on his side are not management shareholders, but individual shareholders and institutional shareholders who are very close to him, and they cannot leave him.

The group of shareholders who choose to cash out are basically institutional investors, who always put profits first, so it is not surprising at all to make such a choice.

What really surprised Xia Jingxing was that Principal John, his angel investor, was now leaving him.

"Darren, I have come across several good projects recently, but I don't have enough funds to invest in them, so I can only sell some stocks."

Principal John is a little embarrassed. After all, making the choice to sell stocks means that he does not believe that the Facebook team can take the company to new heights, and such a choice will also cause certain troubles for Facebook.

Xia Jingxing was very considerate and did not say anything weird. Instead, he jokingly asked Principal John if he had enough money. If not, he could call Vision Capital to invest together.

After a small episode, the meeting gradually came to an end.

Xia Jingxing did not try to dissuade the shareholders who were determined to cash out, but gave a friendly reminder: "If you want to cash out, it's best to make a plan instead of selling stocks in a rush."

"Darren, thank you for the reminder. Goldman Sachs has plenty of experience in this area."

The representative of Goldman Sachs looked at Xia Jingxing with a smile. He knew that the other party had a close relationship with their big boss, Blankfein, but the decision to sell Facebook shares was precisely made by Blankfein, the CEO.

Therefore, friendship is friendship and business is business. The two cannot be confused.

After a while, the meeting ended and the shareholders left one after another. Only a few people, including Xiao Quan, Andrew, and Abel, were still sitting at the table.

"This Principal John clearly doesn't believe us. Why is he short of money to invest in new projects?"

As soon as the people left, the puppy couldn't help but start to complain. He never expected that Principal John, who had a kind face and had helped them a lot in the past, could be so ignorant.

Although he also knew that he should not criticize other people's free choices, he still couldn't accept it emotionally.

“You can’t accept that Principal John doesn’t believe that Facebook can pull up its stock price again and create a record high, right?

To extend it a bit further, you just can’t bear to see others not being optimistic about Facebook, right? "

Xia Jingxing looked at Xiaoquan with a half-smile, and understood all of the other person's thoughts.

Under the scrutiny of Xia Jingxing's eyes, Xiaoquan chuckled, then nodded and admitted, "Yes, I just can't accept others saying Facebook is bad.

They will definitely regret the choice they made today in the future! "

Andrew smiled faintly, "I finally understand. They are planning to make a profit. Even if Facebook's current stock price is not high, compared to their investment cost, it is still a huge profit. With Don’t bet on Facebook’s future.”

"How can you use the adjective 'gambling'?" Xiao Quan retorted.

Andrew smiled and said: "Why can't we use the adjective gambling? Facebook is now vigorously transforming to the mobile terminal, and has successively launched multiple mobile applications such as Facebook, Twitter, Spotify, and Messenger.

This move not only invested a lot of manpower and material resources, but also gave rise to a new problem?

Can Facebook continue its dominance on the PC side on the mobile side? If not, it will not be the next Google, but the next Yahoo! "

Xiaoquan argued: "I think the transformation is going quite smoothly. The number of mobile users has accounted for more than 10% of Facebook's more than one billion users."

"What about Messenger? There seems to be an app called Messenger that is more popular than it. Darren should know it very well." After saying that, Andrew glanced at Xia Jingxing meaningfully.

Xia Jingxing waved his hand and said, "We won't discuss this anymore. Facebook has its own plan and pace of transformation, and everything is progressing in an orderly manner."

After saying that, Xia Jingxing turned to look at Abel and said calmly: "Tell me about your discovery."

“Daxia Capital’s business intelligence department and our Vision Capital’s market department simultaneously detected that multiple short sellers were eyeing Facebook at the same time!”
