Wall Street Legend

The accountant that Edward Johnson Jr. sent to check the accounts had a dark face when he went out, and he already had a premonition that a storm was coming.

Holding various copies of the transaction procedures, stuffed them into the purse and hurried away. I thought that under the guidance of a group of super traders, Edward Johnson earned more than 700,000 US dollars in two weeks.

What the hell is the profit rate of 87.32%? !

If experience told him that this figure was correct, he would have thought that the guy who bet against his boss had cheated and directly transferred the money into this new company as profit.

I made a phone call to inquire about the recent increase in crude oil, and found that it was in line with the data on the financial statements. Only then did I realize that there really is such a guy who dared to bet on crude oil futures with twelve times the leverage, and he succeeded in betting and made such a large sum of money!

On the way back, I seriously thought about the lady’s suggestion just now, and felt that it would be better to persuade little Edward to give up directly, otherwise this kind of winter swimming in the winter and shouting "I am a pig!" will ruin his reputation in this life, so there is no need to joke about the glory of the rest of his life...

wall street.

Miss Laura was making supper, and the time was sixteen hours ahead of Hong Kong, where it was just getting dark.

Suddenly heard the sound of something breaking, and asked loudly: "Grace! Are you okay?"

"It's ringing! My machine is vibrating!" replied the girl.

Laura froze for a moment, turned off the natural gas in a hurry, wiped her hands and ran out of the kitchen, excitedly said: "I'll call the hospital for you, maybe your operation has been arranged! Put on your shoes, we'll be leaving later!"

***************

Compared with New York, where there is light snowfall, the temperature in Xiangjiang is so hot that it needs to turn on the air conditioner.

Ye Dongqing didn't know what was going on on Wall Street, and before the call reached him, he finished his breakfast slowly, and told Boni Ma that he also had an Internet company, and when the business was similar to Tencent, he finally got the other party's interest.

Before, Mr. Ma was on guard, because he understood what Ye Dongqing wanted to do. After several rounds of financing, he no longer had many shares. If someone planned to drive his founder out of the company, Bonnie Ma would be very passive. Thinking about it like this is normal. For the founders of the company, how many shares and who owns them are always matters of life and death.

"Different from ICQ, I want to start from another aspect. The developers are in the final test and it is estimated that it will be launched in the near future."

Ye Dongqing avoided the important, wiped his mouth and continued: "So compared to Wall Streeters, we are more like colleagues. I am very optimistic about this industry. This is the reason why I came to find you and hope to invest in Tencent.

If I'm not mistaken, the shares held by the MIH Group have already caused you trouble, right? They will soon get the controlling stake, and then you, the founder, will become a person who can’t speak. You should choose to find a strong helper who is willing to give up any decision-making power within 20 or 30 years and hand over the power to your third-party investors, such as me. "

He checked the information and read the information of the road show. Bonnie Ma's wealth is concentrated in this company.

In fact, Ye Dongqing's capital is also not much, but the other party doesn't know, as long as he can get 10% or 15% of the shares smoothly, it will be enough to satisfy his appetite. It's not that I don't want to have more, but unfortunately the funds are limited, and FaceBook will burn a lot of money in the future, so there is no need to put all the chips on this company.

The problem mentioned by Ye Dongqing has long been a headache for Mr. Ma. MIH Group already holds more than 40% of the shares. Even after the listing and financing, it will still hold more than 30% of the shares.

The more critical issue is that even though they already hold so many shares, MIH Group still continues to acquire other shares. Strictly speaking, this company has become a company of MIH Group, and only a small part belongs to him. If they didn't feel that they needed someone to take care of them, they might have kicked him out.

Mr. Ma put down his chopsticks and asked with a serious expression: "You have also said that MIH Group will not sell you shares, and you can't let me sell them to you. This is even worse."

"The founder team owns it, and IDG also has 7.2% of the shares. MIH Group rejected me, but let me talk to the people at its headquarters. It's not like there is no chance at all. If it doesn't work, they can also dilute their shares with financing. Does MIH Group have priority financing?" Ye Dongqing asked, successfully bringing the topic to a track that is beneficial to him.

"Well, that's why I haven't dared to raise funds recently. Only listing is the most suitable, and no one from the founding team will sell it, at least until after listing.

Except for me, they have already sold some of them, and now I have enough money to spend, and I will not reduce my holdings at all. Recently, MIH Group is willing to buy at a market value of 180 million US dollars, and I have not agreed..."

The shares of Bonnie Ma will be diluted by the listing of additional shares, but the shares of MIH Group will also be diluted, so that the possibility of being controlled by MIH Group will be much smaller.

If you want to understand the current Tencent, you must first understand its financing process two days ago.

At the beginning, the shares were in the hands of the five founders headed by Pony. In the early days of the business, IDG and Yingke Digital, the company owned by Superman, invested a total of US$2.2 million in Tencent, each obtaining 20% ​​of the shares.

In June last year, Yingke Digital sold its 20% stake in Tencent to MIH Group at a price of US$12.6 million, and then MIH Group also acquired 12.8% of the shares from IDG.

Just this year, in June 2002, some of the main founders of Tencent sold 100% of their shares to MIH, so currently only Bonnie Ma and the founding team, IDG and MIH Group hold the shares of this company, and those of IDG are enough to determine who this company belongs to.

IDG is the abbreviation of "International Data Group of the United States". This company is headquartered in Boston, and there are several Chinese people behind it. During the road show, Ye Dongqing saw the representative of this company. The reason why Bonnie Ma is interested in Ye Dongqing at this moment is mainly because he said that he would give up management rights. The current CEO of IDG does not intend to do that, and has repeatedly intervened in decision-making at shareholder meetings.

The company's shareholding structure is very complicated, especially when it comes to power struggles. One of the reasons why Ye Dongqing didn't want Facebook to raise capital prematurely was because he was afraid of trouble. He wanted the company to develop according to his own ideas.

The other party has made it very clear, Ye Dongqing nodded and said: "I will contact IDG and MIH Group first, and you can help me ask your people, I am willing to buy their shares according to the market value of 200 million US dollars, no matter how much I want, and the management rights will be transferred to you..."
