Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 276 Industrial Layout

In the past two years, Li Weidong has been rampant in the financial market, relying on his foresight to seize several big opportunities and rapidly increase the value of his assets. However, there is a certain amount of water in this pond. The bigger the fish is, the smaller the pond will be.

It won't be easy to get out if this goes on.

For example, the rise of Hong Kong stocks this time, from six to seven thousand points to more than ten thousand points, has surpassed the memory of future generations, indicating that its asset effect has appeared. It can no longer play like this.

So when I met Zou Yi last time in Europe, I mentioned that we should rationalize the company's assets and not invest too much money in the financial market for speculation, but to develop and expand the venture capital industry. Of course, if some large companies

Li Weidong will naturally not let go of the opportunity.

Li Weidong probably has an idea of ​​how much money he has in hand, but it is difficult to say accurately how much money he spends here and part there, and how much money is left in the end.

Not only Li Weidong, but also Zou Yi is the person in charge of Peking Capital, and there is no specific data on the total assets of the company. Now that Li Weidong asked her, she could only give a rough estimate.

Zou Yi said: "According to your request, most of the funds have been withdrawn. In the stock market and stock index futures market, we still have about 4 billion."

"The funds withdrawn were nearly 300 million U.S. dollars for the purchase of Skoda shares. You also used 1.5 billion U.S. dollars for personal use. Two days ago, you gave another 500 million Hong Kong dollars to Wanli Bank. Now there are about 5.5 billion Hong Kong dollars in the company's account.

Around 100 million."

Li Weidong originally thought he was very rich, but after asking Zou Yi to do the calculation, he found that it was not too much. Now it is more than six billion, which is equivalent to about seven or eight billion US dollars. This money cannot support him to buy whatever he wants.

.

Before Li Weidong could speak, Zou Yi continued: "We contacted several shareholders and conducted preliminary negotiations. One of the shareholders holds 20% of Ames' shares, which costs about US$300 million."

"We have analyzed their financial statements. Although these shares are somewhat overvalued, the expectations are reasonable, and their finances have improved last year!"

"As for Nokia, their financial situation is really bad. It's unimaginable that except for their electronics division, which is slightly profitable, the rest of them are basically losing money!"

"When they learned about our intention, they were very enthusiastic. If it weren't for your firm attitude, I would have thought this was a scam company, and their entire company was on the verge of bankruptcy!"

Zou Yi glanced at Li Weidong, and then said cautiously: "And I personally think that if they don't make strategic adjustments, even if they invest all our money, it won't help!"

Li Weidong glanced at Zou Yi. Although her idea was correct, it still did not prove that this was the case. Later generations have proven that Nokia will still be prosperous for at least fifteen years.

If you invest now, it may not take long to earn back the investment money within a year, or even more. No one can imagine the share of Nokia mobile phones in the global market in the future.

Li Weidong said: "How was your discussion?"

Zou Yi looked at Li Weidong's resolute face and knew that this matter could not be changed. He also adjusted his mentality and said: "Nokia's industry is relatively complex. If we invest indiscriminately, we will probably get nothing in the basket, so we suggest that they

Establish a specialized electronic information department, and we, as one of their financing providers, will provide them with financing!"

Li Weidong is not optimistic about this method, and no one will agree to it. Even if you want to sell, you have to sell those industries that have nothing to do with the main business. Who will sell those industries with good development prospects?

"You take it for granted, right? I heard that they want to package and sell it and split it into other industries, but I have no idea of ​​using the electronic information department to raise funds!"

Zou Yi stood up, poured himself a cup of tea, and said: "Boss, of course everyone wants such a good thing. Besides, how can we know that we can succeed if we don't want to? Didn't you teach us to have dreams, just in case they come true?"

Woolen cloth!"

By the way, she also refilled Li Weidong's water cup. Just as she was bending down to refill Li Weidong's water, Li Weidong's pupils suddenly enlarged and his eyes wandered, which was so eye-catching as he was looking at her.

Zou Yi wore a black professional suit. The weather in Hong Kong Island was very mild, so he naturally didn’t wear much. When he lay down like this, most of his career line was exposed. Li Weidong is neither a gentleman nor a wretched uncle, so naturally he wanted to see but couldn’t.

Embarrassment written on face.

Zou Yi was also aware of this problem, but he still insisted on pouring water for Li Weidong before turning around, but his face was also red. He didn't know if letting the boss's wife know that this was considered seducing the boss.

However, there is a nearly ten-year age difference, so no one would believe it. Besides, with a boss like this, who wouldn’t want to catch up? It’s just that he is older, so it’s a pity.

Suddenly Zou Yi thought of his sister-in-law's words and blushed again. Fortunately, the distance from the desk to the coffee table was not short. When Zou Yi turned around, his face had become normal.

Li Weidong was already several dozen years old in his heart, so he naturally regarded this little excitement as an episode. However, from Zou Yi's point of view, it seemed that they had really reached an agreement, so he looked at it with a critical eye.

Zou Yi turned around and found Li Weidong looking at her so directly. He thought it was caused by what happened just now. His heart was pounding and he quickly patted his heart.

Li Weidong did not see these details and asked in disbelief: "So you have concluded the negotiation?"

Zou Yi also cleared his throat to make his speech clearer, and said: "Not really, but it's almost the same. Their senior management originally had the idea of ​​divesting other assets and selling them in order to exchange part of the funds to focus on developing the electronic communications business.

!”

"So we hit it off and reached an intention to cooperate. The new company after their split will hold part of the shares of the original company, and we will raise funds. Of course, the premise of the cooperation is as mentioned just now, which is to transfer half of the voting rights to the management

team!"

Li Weidong looked at Zou Yi and was a little speechless. He felt that no one was lucky enough to catch such an opportunity. They were short of money and wanted to split it up, so you rushed here.

Originally, we wanted to sell off those unprofitable industries to help the development of the electronics division. No matter what, we were suspected of selling products, which is good to say and bad to say.

Now that it’s fine, there’s no need for it anymore. We can just split it up. We don’t need any money from the parent company. We will develop it ourselves and make money for you in the future. We can do other money-losing transactions as well.

The future is the age of electronic information. There is definitely nothing wrong with developing this industry. However, as a company that has been established for hundreds of years, there will definitely be various historical problems. Starting a new business is undoubtedly the best way to get out of trouble.

Li Weidong asked: "How long will this take?"

“After handling the Skoda matter, I went to Finland to communicate with the head of their electronics department. The company’s board of directors also supported the matter at that time, but it required approval from the shareholders’ meeting, so we had to wait for the shareholders’ meeting at the end of this month!

"

"If the shareholders' meeting passes, we will receive a financing invitation. After they split it, they will vigorously develop the electronics division, which requires a lot of investment. They plan to use 30% of the shares to raise US$400 million. We originally

The commitment is about 200 million U.S. dollars, which is within your allowable range!"

After Zou Yi finished speaking, she looked at Li Weidong with clear eyes. This was something Li Weidong asked her to do independently. It was also the first time that their Peking Capital entered the investment field, so naturally there was no room for error.

At first, Li Weidong did not expect that this matter could be accomplished. Naturally, he was given a lot of power. The two companies could negotiate for up to 500 million U.S. dollars. Zou Yi directly blocked this standard.

The two companies invested exactly 500 million, which can be regarded as completing Li Weidong's mission.

Li Weidong stood up, walked to the balcony and looked at the busy streets of Yihe Building. Although his office was not the best office on the whole floor, it definitely had the best view.

The seventeenth floor is not high, and the sound of car horns on the street below can be heard clearly. But at this time, Li Weidong had nothing in his ears and eyes, and he was making a decision in his heart.

His existing funds cannot support him to spend however he wants. He still has many things to do, and he has many industries in his mind that require large capital investment.

Li Weidong turned to look at Zou Yi and said, "What do you think of these two companies? Are they suitable for investment?"

Zou Yi was stunned. She saw that Li Weidong did not speak immediately. She had done research on both companies, but most of them were based on financial considerations and Li Weidong's requirements.

She also had some understanding of the development direction of these two companies, but it was only superficial. As for whether it was a suitable investment, of course it was not suitable. How could her old bank be financially reliable? But in front of Li Weidong, she

You can't say that either.

After thinking for a while, Zou Yi said: "Let's talk about Ames first. I don't know much about this industry, but I know that their terminal is a company that produces chips. There are not many users. How can it grow in the future?

It’s hard to say to what extent.”

"This company's financial statements don't look good now, but last year, when we contacted them, they suddenly received a large order from a company in South Korea. Their sales will definitely increase significantly, and they will see that

Hope, so their shareholders have much higher expectations for him, which is why they dare to ask for such a price, so the price is a bit overestimated!"

"The product of Nokia Electronics Division is mobile phones, which are aimed at ordinary people. I remember you once said that within ten years, the old man who herds sheep in your village will be able to use his mobile phone to call you and find you if anything happens.

!”

"If this thing really happens, what a huge market it will be. If everyone has a mobile phone, no matter how cheap it is, it will be a multi-trillion-dollar market!"

After saying that, Zou Yi shook his head. He didn't believe Li Weidong's words on this matter. She had been to China and listened to Li Weidong's words. She looked around and found that she was confused.

It was a little better in the eastern coastal cities. Food and clothing was no longer a problem. They had moved from having enough food to eating well. But when he visited some places in the central and western regions, he found that even having enough food was a problem in some places. How can one be rich?

stand up.

Nowadays, a mobile phone costs 20,000 or 30,000 yuan. Even if the price is further reduced to 2,000 to 3,000 yuan, how can it be used in a place where the per capita income is only a few tens of yuan? A single phone call will cost you one day’s living expenses.

Li Weidong looked at her and shook her head and didn't take it seriously. No one could predict it accurately without having experienced this kind of situation. He smiled and said: "Be confident, this kind of thing will definitely happen. Remember one sentence, Brother Xindong can make a fortune!"

Li Weidong does not worry about whether it is appropriate to invest in them, but whether it is more appropriate to invest in the existing money. Investing in Nokia is undoubtedly easier to obtain returns.

It is naturally inappropriate to invest in a company like Ames if you only consider making money, but it is even more inappropriate if you want to consider other things such as bottlenecks. He does not have the energy yet.

But the pole was thrown out, and there was no reason to come back with an empty hook. Li Weidong walked to his boss chair and sat down, took a sip of tea, looked at Zou Yi, who was still standing, and waved her to sit down.

"You need to communicate with Nokia again. I will give him all the funds he wants to raise, but for the transfer of half of the voting rights, a time limit must be set. You can negotiate this time limit, but it cannot exceed ten years. As for Ames' investment,

The amount is reduced by half, and it’s up to you to negotiate how many shares you can get!”

To use a more fashionable saying, Li Weidong finally lost to reality. Sometimes, whether it is ideals or feelings, it is okay to pick up the slack, but it is difficult to challenge something.

After hearing what Li Weidong said, Zou Yi was stunned and said, "Okay, I'll fly over tomorrow and try my best to get the best interests for the company."

"There's no need to be so anxious. We still need to take good care of our children and our family!" Li Weidong felt a little embarrassed when he heard that Zou Yi was so anxious. Besides, he also has a daughter who has just entered elementary school.

Zou Yi suddenly said with some embarrassment: "I have to apologize to you for talking about this!"

"Apologise, what kind of modesty do you want to show me?" Li Weidong was a little confused, saying that someone else's child wants to apologize to you. There are some problems with this kind of thing.

"My child's aunt has just graduated, has no job, and has nothing to do at home. She lives in my house and can help me take care of the child!" Zou Yi said inspiringly.

Li Weidong understood everything this time. He also remembered the persistent little girl he met on the plane and said, "That little girl whose name is really your sister-in-law!"

Zou Yi saw that Li Weidong had remembered it, and said apologetically: "My name is Zhuo Ying. I'm really sorry that she misunderstood me. When I came back and heard her say it, I knew that I must have misunderstood you. I didn't expect that at the airport."

When I met her, she left without saying hello to me. She is still a child at heart and has no bad intentions!"

Speaking of this matter, she felt helpless. She had a daughter, but she didn't even have this idea. Her sister-in-law, the most unworthy person, knew that Li Weidong was his boss, but instead encouraged her to pursue happiness in life.

The theory was all the same, about being young and beautiful, it was impossible to tell that he was in his thirties, and even though he knew that Li Weidong was married and had children, he still kept falling.

She herself couldn't bear it anymore. If she hadn't seen that her daughter was taking better care of her than herself, Zou Yi would have even kicked her out.

Li Weidong shook his head and said with a smile: "This is nothing to apologize for. It's just a child. Let's not talk about it. I think the headquarters of Wanli Bank is also here?"

"Yes, Chairman, Li Shihui said that they don't have enough manpower, so there is no need to rent other places. Our place is relatively empty. Let's borrow it for a few days, and they will move out in a few days!"
