Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

What the two people were looking at were document reports about Google's shares. When Google was first established, Yang Dongxu was very optimistic about the company and used offshore companies to become Google's angel investor.

At the beginning, I didn't take much more, only 21% of the shares were taken. Later, Google's development has been going smoothly, and this share has remained unchanged.

Later, Google, which had just started to improve, caught up with the Internet bubble crisis in 2000. In order to continue Google's operations, Yang Dongxu had to increase investment.

At that time, Google could not find any other capital willing to invest in the Internet, so Yang Dongxu obtained another 28.6% of the shares.

Then Google hitched a ride on Yahu, contracted Yahu's search engine business and promoted itself, and life became easier.

After growing steadily for so many years, Yang Dongxu also continued to transfer his shares to some offshore companies, so that these companies would not hold more than 5% of the shares, so as not to raise their own cards when Google went public, and continued to disperse the shares of Google in his hands.

.

Who would have known that last year, that is, in 2004, Yahu suddenly discovered that the younger brother who worked for him at Google was so great that he didn’t even have that much money to acquire him.

Since it was out of control, it was natural to suppress it, so Yahu cut off cooperation with Google and spent his own money to develop the search business.

Google not only lost a big business, but also ushered in a strong competitor. Therefore, although the company's operations are not as difficult as in 2000, there are still some minor twists and turns.

Yang Dongxu had no choice but to pay again to make these small twists and turns smoother, and then the shares in his hand increased unknowingly. This was a small increase after dragging 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 the shares that are shared with other offshore companies, less than 5% of which do not need to be listed, have reached an astonishing 26%.

These are all money, and Yang Dongxu would definitely be reluctant to give them to others, but if you don't give him US citizenship, the US Department of Commerce will definitely not be happy.

So last year, Google originally wanted to go public to overcome the difficulty of being suppressed by Yahu, but Yang Dongxu used his status as a major shareholder to suppress it and not go public.

And while he contributed some of his own money to continue to increase his shareholding, he also lent interest-free money to Google, plus the funds from Kennedy and Jack Jr. to invest in the company.

Google had no shortage of money, so it began to practice its basic skills hard again without mentioning the matter of going public. It was ready to lay a solid foundation and become a blockbuster.

After more than a year of development, Google, which used to be Yahu's younger brother, is now the world's leader in search engines with the support of sufficient funds.

At this time, Baidu went public, and a guy who was not as good as him became a superstar in the U.S. stock market just by relying on the Chinese market. Google's listing will definitely only make it more powerful, so the company's top shareholders are now starting to get restless again, wanting to take advantage of this opportunity.

Waves rise in the east wind.

This is why Yang Dongxu was obviously thinking about going 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.

"How about I change my nationality?" Chen Xin said.

Yang Dongxu looked at her, stretched out his hand and rubbed her head, "It's not to that point, but it's still a way. At least having an American identity can save a lot of trouble.

But after you change your nationality, it will be easier to handle the investment shares of some companies in the United States. However, the investment in Xuri Technology that you managed before, and the shares related to Xuri Technology now become troublesome.

The United States is a super tax country. Drug dealers will not be arrested for drug trafficking because there is insufficient evidence, but they will definitely be imprisoned for tax evasion.

After you change to American citizenship, Americans must have a share of your income and equity in other countries in the world in terms of taxes, and I don’t want to give them money.”

Chen Xin rubbed the side of her face against Yang Dongxu's big hand, and she knew that this matter could not be solved perfectly by changing her nationality. After all, she had shouldered the burden of the United States, and she would leave a mess for Yang Dongxu in China.

The main reason is that Yang Dongxu still can't find a suitable person to take charge of the work that Chen Xin left after changing his nationality.

After lunch, Chen Xin and I took a cozy nap on the bed. After getting up at around two o'clock in the afternoon to tidy up, Yang Dongxu and Yang Dongxu went to the conference room of the presidential suite.

At this time, all the people I need to meet when I come to the United States to deal with Google matters have already arrived in the office.

Harry Page has slightly gray hair, and when he smiles, he reminds people of Huang Bo's American uncle just by looking at his mouth.

Shelf-Brin's aura of decadence filled his whole body, much like a homebody who often stayed up late, looking like he wanted to sleep but never woke up all day long.

These two people are the founders of Google, and they are currently the absolute second and third shareholders of Google. Harry still holds 12.7% of Google’s shares, and Shelver still has 14.1%.

Although the combined shares of the two people only account for a little more than a quarter of Google's company shares, they have a great say in the development of the company.

Because although Yang Dongxu held shares several times, he basically wanted shares and did not take away the management rights of the company from these two people. On the contrary, he would basically stand by the two people in many matters.

After all, without him in the previous life, the two founders had made Google so great. Naturally, he, an outsider, didn't have to point fingers and make trouble for Google. He could just sleep at home with the shares and count the money. It would be so easy.

In addition to the two, there are also Little Jack and Abel in the conference room. Little Jack now holds 4.5% of the shares of Bones. Able holds 5.6% of the shares on behalf of the Kennedy family. He entered the market a little earlier than Little Jack.

So I have a little more skeleton shares in my hand.

The remaining shares are in the hands of some other investors, but most of these shares only have dividend rights and no voting rights, so it doesn't matter whether they have such a meeting or not.

"I know everyone is very busy, so I won't talk nonsense." Yang Dongxu walked to the main seat and sat down, "I invited a few of you here today to discuss the issue of Google's listing.

At present, the listing of Baidu, a Chinese enterprise, has caused a great stir, so it is imperative that Google go public.

However, Harry and Shelver were very interested in oil pipelines before that, and decided to acquire the company to supplement Google's missing board width.

What we need to discuss today is whether to acquire the oil pipeline before Google goes public or after it goes public. Google currently has sufficient funds in its corporate account, so there is no problem even if it does not go public to finance the acquisition of the oil pipeline.

However, if news of the acquisition of oil pipelines is released after the listing, and if the acquisition is successful in the end, it will not be difficult to raise Google's stock to more than a hundred degrees.

But there is a premise here. Oil pipelines are developing very fast. Now it will take about two months for us to start preparations for listing.

If we acquire oil pipelines after listing, it will take about a month even if all negotiations go smoothly. So if we acquire oil pipelines after three months, we may have to pay hundreds of millions of dollars more."

That’s right!

Just by paying hundreds of millions of dollars more in three months, the oil pipeline has developed at such an exaggerated speed after the big guys intervened, and it has been riding on a rocket propeller.

"Over here..." Harry looked at Yang Dongxu a little worried, and so did Shelver.

To be honest, regardless of his 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. He will give money to people and give money to people.

The reason why Google has developed so well in the past two years has a lot to do with the fact that many of the company's middle-level backbones were poached by Yang Dongxu.

Otherwise, with just Harry and Shelver, who want to expand the company's market while also doing internal team building, Google will never be able to develop as well as it does now.

At the same time, Yang Dongxu never made any comments in the company, and even when he had disagreements with the two of them, he never used his status as a major shareholder to force him.

They used sufficient reasons and evidence to convince two people. Such investors are hard to find all over the world. But it is a pity that capital has no national borders, but capitalists do.

"Before the listing, I will reduce my nominal shareholding to less than 5% and will not participate in the listing. The US Department of Commerce will no longer be an obstacle. At the same time, Little Jack and Abel are not simple capital. Little Jack is from a California consortium.

, Abel helps the Kennedy family with their business, you can feel at ease with the two of them," Yang Dongxu said.

Harry and Shelver looked at the new shareholders who had joined the company in the past two years with some surprise. At first, they thought these two were not a mysterious consortium.

I really never thought that behind these two people, one is a financial group and the other is one of the four major political groups in the United States.

The two of them were a little worried before. If Google wants to become stronger and does not bring in some American consortiums, it is very likely that after it reaches a certain height, it will encounter a ceiling consortium blockade.

Now this worry has completely disappeared. The shareholders of his company are not only financial groups, but also political families. Looking at the entire United States, Google, with its background, is definitely a capable entity, so the two of them were surprised and couldn't hide their surprise.

"Baidu's stock has been falling in the past two days. Although it has been very strong and hovered around $195, the market enthusiasm is gradually dissipating.

So my suggestion is to do both at the same time. While we are preparing for the listing, we are negotiating with the oil pipeline side. If the listing is successful here, we will directly announce the news, and then let the stock price soar." Harry said a little excitedly.

"This is indeed a good solution. The next question is, how much do we have to bid to get the other party to sell the rapidly expanding oil pipeline to Google." Yang Dongxu said.

"This..." Harry and Shelver both looked dull for a moment.

In the past few months, YouTube has been on the road to success as if it had taken a swelling agent. It gives people a domineering feeling that I want to dominate the world and I have no shortage of money. This is indeed very bluffing.

Anyway, regardless of other people, if they are the holders of the oil pipeline, they will definitely not sell the oil pipeline at this time, unless it is a high price that they cannot refuse.

So the question is, if the oil pipeline is acquired at an absolutely high price, will Google make more money by supplementing this business, or will it lose money? After all, the acquisition must consider cost-effectiveness.
