Chapter 237

Chen Daojun does not plan to invest all of this money in the Internet field. According to his plan, in addition to the approximately 100 billion U.S. dollars invested in companies such as Pingguo, Microsoft, and Sun, there is still more than 100 billion U.S. dollars. , Chen Daojun has other plans.

For example, in the Xiangjiang stock market, Soros and Quantum Fund, which once again caused waves, Chen Daojun also intends to participate in it, completely muddy the water, so as to profit from it.It's just that it's hard to say whether it's short or long.

……

Goldman Sachs conference room.

In order to obtain investment from Goldman Sachs Group, Jobs personally led a team to the headquarters of Goldman Sachs this time, hoping to obtain investment from Goldman Sachs Group.However, the CEO of Goldman Sachs who met him this time did not seem to be the person in charge. Instead, he sat next to them like a bystander and looked at them with a smile, and whispered to a young man beside him.

It was George who was in charge of presiding over this meeting, and his deputy was his cheap nephew Leyan. The two of them "worked together" to advance the meeting in an orderly manner.

Jobs, who is demanding of others, can only be patient and ask his subordinates to report step by step on the recent situation of their Pingguo company and a series of "reform" measures after he took office.It's just that this guy is also a slicker, and he didn't mention the embarrassing fact that their Pingguo company has been going from bad to worse in the past few years.

Such level of "bragging" actually made Chen Daojun look at the other party. Being able to brag is also a very good skill these days.So much so that Ma Yun, who later said, "I'm not interested in money," and Jia Yueting, who "suffocated for his dreams," are both leaders in the bragging world. The former relied on his eloquence to earn thousands of dollars in the early days of his business. Thousands of dollars of investment.

The latter relied on the myth of "PPT" to build a car, and invested hundreds of millions of dollars every year. After harvesting leeks for more than ten years, people have always been willing to buy it, which is simply out of line!
……

"According to the current market value of Pingguo Company, the Goldman Sachs Group is willing to invest 9 million US dollars to acquire 45% of the shares of Pingguo Company! If you agree, we can sign the contract today!" After some preliminary discussions After the communication, George followed Chen Daojun's instructions and quickly clarified his requirements.

This made Jobs a little embarrassed. You must know that although he is the CEO now, he can't call the shots and let those shareholders sell the company's shares to Goldman Sachs.

"Mr. George, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for us to implement your proposal. Although the market value of our company has shrunk by more than half compared to previous years..., the company's shares are still in the hands of those on the board of directors. I... can't Decide on this matter." Jobs said with some regret.

Seeing what Jobs said, the faces of Chen Daojun, James, George and others became ugly. Good guy, Jobs can't make the decision, so how did they buy a large amount of shares in Pingguo Company?Don't you give me a chance? !

Seeing this, Le Yan said with a smile, "Mr. Jobs, since this method does not work, we can change our thinking, such as 'directed capital increase'! Our Goldman Sachs Group can become a shareholder of Pingguo Company by acquiring a part of the company's stock. Then Mr. Jobs proposed that in order to meet the company’s capital needs, the company’s shareholders should increase capital. At that time, Pingguo Company will have a lot of funds to continue research and development, expand sales channels, and launch new product advertisements.”

“And we can promise that as long as our Goldman Sachs Group can become the majority shareholder of Pingguo Company, we, the Goldman Sachs Group, will fully support Mr. Jobs’s actions and proposals during his tenure as CEO. I believe we will be a good partner! "Leyan finally threw out the most deadly "killer trump card."

Jobs' eyes lit up. Could such a good thing come from cooperating with Goldman Sachs Group?Not only has the funding problem been solved, but he can also help him deal with the board of directors that he doesn't want to deal with?This deal is worthwhile. He doesn't have to pay anything. He can make a lot of profits just by cooperating with Goldman Sachs Group's actions!

Moreover, the operation described by Le Yan is highly feasible.Relying on the strength of Goldman Sachs Group, buying stocks to become a shareholder of Goldman Sachs Group, and then expanding the shares through targeted capital increase to compete for the right to speak, and kicking out those who have become minority shareholders, the method is very aboveboard. The other party must either bite the bullet and accept the move, or Eventually got kicked off the board.

……

"I have to say that Mr. Leyan's proposal is very tempting! ...I am willing to give it a try!" After thinking for a while, Jobs agreed.After all, he will return to Pingguo Company and become the person in charge of the company again. This is just a helpless move by the guys on the board of directors. If Pingguo Company's situation had not been getting worse and worse, they would not have allowed an independent technology leader like Jobs to do so. The strongman comes back again.These guys had differences with him on their business philosophy. They not only dismissed him but also kicked him out of Pingguo Company. The conflict between the two parties was huge!
……

As the matter was settled, the two parties further discussed the specific details of cooperation.At the same time, George also introduced to Jobs Chen Daojun, a young and somewhat excessive senior figure of Goldman Sachs Group.After all, Chen Daojun still has to come forward to sign the contract later, and it is necessary for both parties to get familiar with each other in advance.

Jobs looked at Chen Daojun, and then at James next to him. He was a little dazed. He originally thought that this matter would be led by James, the CEO of Goldman Sachs Group, but he did not expect that it would be Chen Daojun, a young man who had been watching the show just now. He really lost his sight today, and he didn't even notice who was in charge.

"Mr. Chen is really young and promising. I am still studying in school at your age!" Jobs was also used to seeing people with big storms, so he quickly adjusted his mentality.Since Chen Daojun will be a future partner, it is also necessary to make a good impression with him and establish a good relationship in advance.

"Mr. Jobs, you are welcome! I admire your research and development capabilities. Under your leadership, Pingguo Company has produced many high-tech products." Seeing Jobs being so knowledgeable, Chen Daojun was also happy to praise him.Anyway, business bragging, whoever takes it seriously is stupid!
……

After sending off the Jobs team, Chen Daojun murmured in his heart, "...Jobs, he agreed so soon? Was it too smooth?" He originally thought that today's negotiation might be a bit tortuous, but he didn't expect it to be so smooth.And judging from Jobs' expression, this guy seems to be very enthusiastic about Le Yan's proposal.Wait... Jobs didn't want to kick out the board members who didn't deal with him a long time ago, right?
Chen Daojun thought for a while and quickly understood what Jobs was thinking.After all, anyone who is kicked out of the company they worked so hard to build will complain.Moreover, these troublemakers are incompetent, and they just messed up a well-performing technology company, and then invited the original founder back to deal with this mess. This is simply insulting!
