Rebirth: My dad is a coal boss

Acquisition Plan Determined

“What are you thinking about? I’m telling you, don’t mess around in the company. I won’t spare you if I find out.” Lin Hao was speechless. Why does this guy think about this every day?

“I’m just asking.” Allen coughed, a little embarrassed.

The two walked into the conference room together. In addition to Robert, there were also people from the company involved in the acquisition. People from Citigroup were not present.

Lin Hao sat directly on the main seat, and Allen followed and sat next to Lin Hao’s assistant. Naturally, he didn’t feel uncomfortable at all.

“Boss, who is this?” Robert sat down when he saw Allen being so careless. Today’s meeting was very confidential.

“Just think of him as my assistant, let’s get started.”

After hearing what Lin Hao said, Robert stopped paying attention to Allen and started talking about the acquisition plan.

“Boss, after this period of discussion and improvement, the final plan to acquire Google has been finalized. Citi will be responsible for the overall acquisition of Google. We are fully involved in the process. We will invest US$1 billion and Citi will provide a loan of US$2 billion. About 80% of the shares will be acquired, 1 billion of which will be an unsecured loan of 2 billion, and the other 1 billion, once the acquisition is successful, will have to mortgage 30% of Google shares to them, while the remaining 20% of the shares will be left to the founder team. ”

Listening to Robert’s words, Allen didn’t take it seriously at first, but the more he listened, the more shocked he became. In the end, he couldn’t believe what he heard. Lin Hao was going to acquire Google, or this kind of multi-billion acquisition. When did Hao become so rich?

He did know about Google, a search engine company that seemed to have just been established a few years ago and was developing very fast. He didn’t expect that the valuation was already so high. According to Robert’s words, the valuation was 3.75 billion.

Compared to Allen’s shock, Lin Hao was thinking that the valuation of 3.75 billion should be the normal valuation of the market. Yahoo had previously quoted US$3 billion, and Google itself did not agree with the US$5 billion reported. The two companies have fallen out. Google has been developing so fast by being tied to Yahoo. After the falling out, the valuation has dropped, and 3.75 billion is considered more reasonable.

“Will Google accept this valuation?” Lin Hao looked at Ropat and asked.

“Boss, this is the result of careful research by Citi. We do not require a full acquisition and have reserved 20% of the shares for the founding team. Moreover, now that Yahoo wants to build its own search engine, it has lost Yahoo users. The market generally does not like Google. We are so optimistic. The valuation of 3.75 billion is the highest. Not only did we not lower the price, we also raised it a lot. It was only about 3.5 billion US dollars before. And this is just our quotation. An acquisition will change at any time, and the price will change. There will also be changes due to various factors, and we have made various responses to this.”

Lin Hao nodded and motioned for Robert to continue, “Citigroup has been in contact with Yahoo. They intend to sell their Google shares. Yahoo Now that they have to build their own search engine, there is no use keeping Google’s shares in their hands. As long as the price is right, they are willing to sell it.”

Historically, Yahoo also sold its shares in Google within two years after falling out with Google, making little profit. Not much, but compared to the price behind Google, it can be said to be a loss.

I have the impression that when Yahoo made multiple choice questions, it was basically all wrong. First it was Google, then Facebook, and many others. Only Alibaba made the right choice. These decision-making mistakes also led to Yahoo’s final bankruptcy and acquisition.

Robert introduced the acquisition plan in detail. Lin Hao raised questions from time to time and answered them one by one. Allen was in a state of confusion and was shocked by the astronomical price figure at the beginning.

What can we do wrong with so much money? Facebook will take off immediately. It will cost billions to acquire Google, which is ridiculous. At this time, ordinary people don’t know much about Google. It is famous in Silicon Valley and the Internet, because now Google The major search engine technology providers do not have their own Internet portals and rely heavily on third parties, such as Yahoo. Now Google is embedded in Yahoo. Everyone knows about Yahoo, but few people know about Google.

The meeting lasted a whole day, and Allen kept sleepwalking. Lin Hao watched the acquisition plan and kept discussing it with Ropat and the people in the acquisition team.

“Then let’s implement this plan, notify Citigroup, and formally sign the contract tomorrow.” Finally, Lin Hao finalized the acquisition plan.

As Lin Hao’s words fell, the meeting that lasted for most of the day came to an end. Allen even dozed off. After recovering from the shock, he also wanted to have a good listen, but it was too late. Many, and many of what Robert said were professional terms that he couldn’t understand, so he simply gave up later.

It was finally over. He had a lot of questions to ask Lin Hao. The employees in the conference room left one after another, leaving only Lin Hao, Robert and Allen.

“How is the acquisition of shares of Apple and Amazon going?” Although he wants to acquire Google, he has not stopped acquiring shares of Apple and Amazon. Lin Hao did not participate in the acquisition of Google for the US$1 billion he invested in the company. , but for the development of the company.

“Because I am not in a hurry, and I am afraid that I will buy too much at once, which will cause the stock prices of the two companies to rise, so the total funds purchased now are less than 20 million US dollars.”

Hearing Robert’s words, Lin Hao nodded. This was originally Even if it is a long-term mission, Lin Hao has no intention of making money from the stocks of these two companies now. It will take several years for these two companies to take off.

It is said that we are still 5 years away from the classic conference in 2007 when Steve Jobs released the first-generation iPhone. I don’t know if the iPhone is currently being developed.

“Just take your time and take your time, but don’t stop.” Lin Hao only knew that the stocks of Apple and Amazon would be very high in the future, but when did they start to rise crazily? The specific time is not clear. Apple also knew that it was probably that time. After the press conference, Amazon really didn’t know anything about it, so it had no choice but to fly first. It would definitely rise anyway.

“Then I understand, boss. I’ll go out and get busy first.”

As soon as Robert left, Allen couldn’t help it anymore, “Lin, when did you become so rich and why didn’t you tell me?”

“You didn’t ask either. .” Lin Hao replied calmly.

“Well, we are brothers.”

“There is a saying in China that brothers settle accounts.”

“Okay, okay, mainly because this is so shocking, this is billions of dollars, so I’ll tell you It’s from a big family in China.”
