Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 70 Choose to be slaughtered
Two days later.

Wade Thomas of Goldman Sachs contacted Lin Baicheng, saying that Microsoft was willing to give up 500% of the shares at a valuation of 30 million US dollars, but Lin Baicheng could only get 20% of the voting rights, and at the same time, 50 US dollars of funds were not injected into the company , but distributed equally to two shareholders, Bill Gates and Paul Allen.

If Lin Baicheng is unwilling, then Bill Gates and Paul Allen of Microsoft are only willing to accept a valuation of 300 million US dollars to give up 20% of the shares. At the same time, all the money will be counted as normal investment shares, and the funds belong to the company .

Obviously, Microsoft's two shareholders value the company's controlling stake more.Although after giving up 30% of the equity, the controlling stake is still in the hands of the two of them, but the company will definitely introduce capital in the future, and the shares in their hands will be diluted, so they have to think about the future.

Of course, they're also tempted by higher valuations, and obviously want to get some cash.

Faced with this situation, Lin Baicheng must have agreed to obtain a 500% stake in Microsoft at a valuation of US$30 million, but he did not agree to distribute US$50 in cash to the two founders, and was only willing to give them US$20 , and the remaining $130 million was injected into the company.Lin Baicheng doesn't care about the number of voting rights, because no matter what, he can't control Microsoft.

With the development of computers, if Microsoft develops according to the original historical track, the importance of Microsoft will become more and more important. As a foreigner, how could Lin Baicheng obtain the controlling stake in Microsoft? The US officials will definitely not agree.

The price of forcibly obtaining a controlling stake in Microsoft will only be that Microsoft will be suppressed either explicitly or implicitly, and its development will not be as good as before its rebirth, and then another company similar to Microsoft will develop.

However, the controlling stake can be ignored, but Lin Baicheng cannot allow the two founders to cash out too much cash, which is not good for him.The ghost knows whether they will have entrepreneurial enthusiasm after getting so much cash. $10 is not too much, and Lin Baicheng can barely accept it.

In the end, Bill Gates and Paul Allen still accepted Lin Baicheng's valuation of 500 million US dollars to invest in the company, and they each cashed out 10 US dollars, which can only make their lives a little bit better.

After going to Microsoft Corporation again, Lin Baicheng signed the contract and officially became the major shareholder of Microsoft Corporation.

Similarly, Lin Baicheng just said that he is optimistic about the development of Microsoft, and chatted with Bill Gates and Paul Allen, without saying much else.Anyway, he will not interfere with the company's operation and development, he will only send financial personnel to settle in, so as to prevent Microsoft's development from changing due to his intervention.

After obtaining the shares of Microsoft and Apple, the purchase of gold futures has also been completed, and Lin Baicheng's trip to the United States has been completed.

It happened that Huo Yaohua from Standard Chartered Bank contacted Lin Baicheng yesterday, saying that Li's voice was willing to sell Li's TV station, but the price needed to be discussed, so he decided to go back to Xiangjiang.

However, the discovery of the office software market made Lin Baicheng decide to develop office software, so he asked Eric Davis to recruit some software R&D talents, and specially registered a company to build the company's shelf. Over a period of time, the office software will be developed.

Back to Xiangjiang again.

Lin Baicheng was a little emotional. He had flown a lot abroad. After making a lot of money, he would definitely buy a private jet. This would not only save time waiting for the plane, but also allow him to have a good rest on the plane without having to spend so much money. tired.

It was still the Peninsula Hotel, Lin Baicheng asked Huo Yaohua to have afternoon tea together.

The two first chatted about the weather, current affairs news and other topics before getting down to business.

Huo Yaohua first said: "Lin Sheng, we helped you contact Li's voice in the UK, because we want to buy the other party's shares, so we can't hide your identity, they know that it is Lin Sheng that you want to buy this TV station .”

"It's okay, I'm mentally prepared."

Lin Baicheng was not surprised when he heard the words. It was normal for the other party to want to know who would buy it, but when Li asked, it was impossible for Standard Chartered not to answer, otherwise, would he still want to buy the other party's shares?

Huo Yaohua sighed and said: "Lin Sheng, Li's voice is willing to sell the TV station to you, but after the other party knew that you are from Xiangjiang, it was a lion who opened his mouth and offered a very high price."

"Huo Sheng, tell me what the valuation of Li's TV station should be, and how much Li's Huosheng will sell the shares to me."

Lin Baicheng couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he heard the words. He was mentally prepared to buy at a premium, but if the price was too high, he could only give up temporarily.Either buy another wireless TV station, or he can only wait a few years after the Australian consortium takes over, and then buy from the Australian consortium.

The reason why Jiayi TV Station was ignored was that when Jiashi was established, the Hong Kong government stipulated that Jiashi must be used for TV teaching during the hours from 2:6 p.m. to 9:11 p.m. and from 30:[-] p.m. to [-]:[-] p.m. , can only do educational programs.

Educational programs are usually not popular, and people prefer to watch TV dramas and variety shows, which is the root cause of Jiashi's bankruptcy.

If Lin Baicheng acquires Jiashi, he will also face this problem. Although he has some educational programs for later generations in his mind, which may be popular now, but the number of programs is limited, and he will face this problem sooner or later.What's the point of buying a TV station if it takes a year or two to develop it, and then the ratings drop and go bankrupt because of a lack of educational programs.

Therefore, Lin Baicheng's goal at the beginning was only Li's TV station and TVB TV station.It's just that although the largest shareholder of TVB TV is Lijia, Uncle Shao is also a major shareholder of TVB. Shao Yifu wants to switch from the film industry to the TV industry. With the friendship between Shao Yifu and Lijia, the possibility of selling shares to Shao Yifu is higher than selling The possibility of giving it to Lin Baicheng is much higher.

Unless Lin Baicheng can offer a sky-high price that far exceeds the human relationship, if that is the case, he might as well just buy Li's TV station directly. The equity of Li's TV station is more concentrated, which is more beneficial for him to control the TV station.

Huo Yaohua said: "In our assessment by Standard Chartered, the valuation of Li's TV station should be between 1.1 million and 1.2 million Hong Kong dollars, but Li's voice valued Li's TV station at 2 million Hong Kong dollars, and it holds 61% of the shares. The asking price is 1.2 million Hong Kong dollars."

"About 80% premium?"

Lin Baicheng tapped the table lightly with his fingers and pondered.

The price was higher than Lin Baicheng expected, and the other party really wanted to kill him, which made Lin Baicheng very upset.However, the company is in the hands of the other party. If they don't buy it, it will be difficult for TVB to get it. This seriously affects Lin Baicheng's plan to form the Oriental Media Group.

The importance of the media is unquestionable. Owning a media group can not only positively promote one’s own products, but also prevent one’s own products from being slandered without a voice channel.

What's more, the social influence he possesses and the media group will inevitably increase his social status. Many people must consider the influence before offending him, which will help Lin Baicheng's commercial development.

"Huo Sheng, please contact me to see if the price can be lowered a bit. If it doesn't work, you can contact me later."

Although very upset, Lin Baicheng decided to be slaughtered, and the most important thing is to win the TV station.After all, Xiangjiang only has three TV stations in total, among which Jiashi will go bankrupt next year, so the sooner it wins, the better.

"I will try my best."

Huo Yaohua couldn't guarantee that Li's voice would obviously kill Lin Baicheng, but he couldn't guarantee that Standard Chartered would lower the price of Li's voice.

Lin Baicheng didn't force it. It would be best if he could lower the price a little, but if he couldn't, he had to spend more.
