Seeing Bill coming, Buffett felt a little strange. 【

"Hello, Uncle Buffett, long time no see. I came to visit you specially today."

Buffett is about 30 years older than "Bill", but this uncle is well-known.

"Haha, Bill, tell me, is there something wrong, do you need my help?"

Buffett has a good relationship with Bill. During Microsoft's previous expansion, Buffett's fund company also helped Microsoft a lot.Of course, Buffett also gets a lot of benefits here.Whether it is personal or business, the two have a very good relationship.

"It seems that nothing can escape your eyes."

Bill sighed, and then said, "I heard that you have 10% of Feto's shares here."

"Yes, Feto's growth - performance - is very good, with huge potential. Although it hasn't exploded yet, within a few years, I believe, it can become the fourth largest instant messaging software in the world. I have a lot of opinions about Feto So, when feto company started to attract a large number of users, I started to pay attention. Until, when feto needed funds, I was the first to find him.”

With the development of the Internet, more and more places are only closely connected with the Internet.

For this reason, this Wall Street stock god, he also set his sights on the Internet.It's a pity that Tang Dynasty Company is really too powerful, whether it is instant messaging, Internet sites, or anti-virus, computer software market, there are Tang Dynasty companies.

Of course, it would be fine if only Tang Dynasty Company had this part of the market.The problem is that these markets are not only developed by Tang Chao Company, but also firmly occupy these markets, making it difficult for outsiders to enter.This also applies to some other technology companies, who have not developed much at all.At most, you can only develop it in your own country.

For example, like Facebook in the United States, it can only be popular in the United States.Although Buffett has invested in Facebook, recently it seems that their development potential is not great, and Buffett no longer wants to continue investing.Until, when a software called feto came out, Buffett keenly felt that this software, in the future, might become a world communication giant such as msn, q, and Tang Dynasty tt.

Therefore, he was the first to cooperate with feto and obtained more than ten percent of the shares.However, with the continuous financing of feto company, his equity has dropped to 10%.However, even if it drops to 10%, his value is already several times higher than before.

Even now, a consortium has publicly announced that if someone sells Feto's stock, he is willing to pay ten times the price to buy it.Sadly, none of them were for sale until then.Naturally, the smart Buffett will not sell.

When it comes to feto, for a while, Buffett is talking non-stop, talking about the future of feto software from time to time.It wasn't until Buffett saw Bill's embarrassment that Buffett realized, "Sorry, I almost forgot, MSN seems to be your Microsoft business."

"Okay, Bill, say, what are you doing here this time?"

Although Bill brought a lot of gifts, is it true that Bill came to visit Buffett for nothing?

"Would you believe me if I said that Microsoft owns 30% of Feto's shares?"

"30% of feto's shares?"

"No, no, it's impossible."

Buffett shook his head, but he didn't want to believe it.You know, no matter how much you pay for Feto's shares now, you really can't buy them.Because, no one knows what feto company will develop into.Moreover, this kind of software that utilizes users in the mobile phone market has opened up the imagination space for many investors.

For them, perhaps, in the future, maybe feto company can use this as a development and produce more market software like this.Although, these investors can't imagine what products feto will develop after it develops feto software.However, this does not lower their expectations for feto.They are just investors, and they only need to invest. In terms of specific products, they are all the business of feto and have nothing to do with them.

"Of course it's impossible now, but we've made plans long before."

Bill laughed.

When they see that their strategy has failed, and they can no longer prevent the number of feto users from going online.Bill knew that it seemed that another generation of instant messaging was about to rise.Moreover, this one is not just a simple instant messaging, he is a real mobile phone.

In addition, this instant messaging software is continuous with the mobile phone.Then, in the future, his recharge channel and his consumption method will be much more convenient.At that time, you don't have to buy a point card, just go to the telecom business hall to recharge your phone bill, then you can spend everything on the Internet.Moreover, when the fee is deducted, it will be deducted directly from your phone.This way of consumption is simply too cool.

For this reason, after Bill analyzed the feto software, an urgent acquisition mentality arose instantly.

There are two aspects to this acquisition. One is that in the face of the competition from Feto, he needs to get rid of the opponent and is about to acquire it.

Second, seeing such a potential company, Bill also wanted to acquire it.

Two reasons determined Bill's actions.

"This is Morgan Stanley's equity transfer letter, this is *** Softbank, and this is Carlyle Investment Group..."

The emergence of feto company has attracted too many people's attention, so many people have entered the investment routine.In order to convince Buffett, Bill took out five or six equity transfer documents at once.Although the equity of each share is very small, the sum of several shares is no more, no less, exactly 30%.

A 30% stake in any company is a huge resource.Even in Microsoft, Bill only holds 30% of the shares, and he is still the major shareholder.It is a pity that the current feto company has not yet been listed.Even if Bill holds 30% of the shares, he still cannot control Feto.

If it can absorb another 10%, then Microsoft can become the major shareholder of feto in a short time.It is even possible to reconvene a shareholder meeting to sweep away the current management.However, this is just talk, to explain the status of the largest shareholder.

"You mean, I need 10% of my shares here to become the major shareholder of feto company."

"Yes, I don't know if Mr. Buffett can give up the 10% of the shares?"

Seeing that Buffett guessed his intentions, Bill explained directly.

"Bill, you know, if it's 10% of other companies, maybe, I can, just..."

For feto company, Buffett really likes it too much, and he is really reluctant to ask him to give up his shares.

"I know Feto will definitely become a super giant in the future. But, you know, if we don't complete this holding, then our msn will be severely hit. Even in the future Internet market, we Microsoft doesn't have much market The right to speak."

Now Microsoft has just used msn to broadcast online games, but it has been challenged by feto.Perhaps, now msn can continue to be unrestrained for a year or two.However, after one or two years, the market for msn will become less and less.For Microsoft, this may be another failure.

"Would you like to see a Microsoft company belonging to the United States be overthrown by the Tang Dynasty company?"

Microsoft, because it monopolizes the global operating system.In many cases, he has become a symbol of the United States.It is precisely because of this symbol that the United States - the government - is so committed to Microsoft.However, no matter how hard the United States - the government - tries to protect it, it is useless.In the near future, Tang Dynasty Corporation will bring its operating system and lead countries around the world to launch their own operating system counterattacks.When the time comes, it will be the end of Microsoft.

"This one……"

Buffett is an American, and to be honest, he also likes Microsoft.Seeing Bill's sad expression, Buffett sighed for a moment.He can feel, as the head of a company, how painful it is for him to face the situation when the company is over.However, Buffett still shook his head, "Bill, you know, I'm just a businessman."

Yes, Buffett is a businessman.Not to mention in this highly liberalized United States, even in China, there are not many who would wrong themselves for the sake of national honor.Moreover, Buffett is a rational person, and he will not affect his investment plan because of personal affairs.

Obviously, Bill's performance did not impress Buffett.

Seeing this, Bill knew that it seemed useless for him to talk about the relationship between the two before.However, before Bill came, he knew Buffett's personality, and he was ready to be rejected.Of course, you may ask, knowing why the rejection came.The answer is because Bill has another plan.This plan can make Buffett have no voice of rejection.

"So, Mr. Buffett, how about we do an equity transaction?"

"What deal?"

"Coca Cola."

Everyone knows that the biggest stock Buffett invests in is Coca-Cola.Moreover, Buffett's biggest profit comes from Coca-Cola. In 1988, Buffett bought Coca-Cola stock for US$593 billion. In 1989, he substantially doubled his holdings, and his total investment increased to US$1024 billion. In 1991, it appreciated to 3743 billion U.S. dollars, a 2-fold increase in 266 years, which surprised even Buffett.

In 1994, it continued to increase its holdings, with a total investment of 13 billion US dollars. Since then, its holdings have remained stable. At the end of 1997, the market value of Buffett’s holdings of Coca-Cola shares rose to US$133 billion, earning 10 times in 10 years, and just one stock earned Buffett US$100 billion. This is Buffett’s most legendary and successful stock investment case.

Until later, Buffett was not just investing in Coca-Cola.After he successfully invested in "Coca-Cola", due to the large number of shares held.To this end, Buffett also served as a director of Coca-Cola.In recent years, many of Coca-Cola's major events have involved Buffett.

It's a pity that when Coca-Cola showed its myth before 2000, after 2000, it couldn't continue its myth.Pepsi, which came from behind, once surpassed Coca-Cola in market value.This also made many people in the market comment that the reason why Coca-Cola is unable to continue its previous glory is related to Buffett's intervention.

If such a voice is just an external voice, Buffett can completely ignore it.However, such a voice came from within Coca-Cola.For this reason, Buffett was a little depressed. He even wanted to increase his stake in Coca-Cola as much as possible and become the largest shareholder of Coca-Cola in order to suppress those voices.

However, although Coca-Cola has not been as brilliant as before, its stock price has been stable in recent years. No matter whether the market falls or rises, its stock price is about 40 US dollars.So, many investors still hold Coca-Cola stock.This also makes it impossible for Buffett to increase his holdings too much, because it is impossible to buy stocks if he increases his holdings too much.

"Coca Cola?"

"I can exchange 10 billion dollars of Coca-Cola's shares with you for 10% of Feto's shares."

$10 billion, 10%.

If it is calculated in this way, then, after Feo, which has not yet been listed, some media have already evaluated Feto.These evaluations are so loud, although feto company has only come out not long ago.But judging from its explosive user growth, within the next two years, feto will definitely become the fourth largest instant messaging software in the world.

Judging from the market value of global communication software, each one is tens of billions of dollars.What is even more frightening is the Tang Dynasty TT. At present, some people have valued the Tang Dynasty TT at 3000 billion US dollars.If this is the case, Tang Dynasty Information may really become the largest company in the world.Of course, this valuation cannot be trusted.However, the fact that the market can estimate this market value also indirectly proves the potential of Feto.

"A billion dollars."

Buffett thought about it.

Buffett started his investment with only US$2 million. In a short period of time, he made a five-fold profit after changing hands.Such a profit may be the fastest investment in the history of global investment.However, Buffett's expectations for feto company, how can it be as simple as 5 times?If Bill only exchanged other stocks, or directly took cash, Buffett really didn't care, but what Bill took was "Coca-Cola" stocks, which had to make Buffett pay attention.

For Coca-Cola stock, Buffett really needs it too much.

As a heavyweight Coca-Cola, each of his shares has his super value.Until now, through acquisitions among retail investors, it is impossible to charge much.Moreover, your acquisition in the secondary market will also arouse the vigilance of others. When the time comes, the major shareholders will grab these bargaining chips together, and you will not get the slightest benefit.

Now there are 10 billion US dollars in chips exchanged by Bill. Although it is not much, with this 10 billion US dollars, Buffett can immediately change his current position in Coca-Cola.He could even kick the gossiping guy out of the board of directors with his share of shares at this time.

"Although 10 billion US dollars is not much, someone in the market has already offered 10 times the price to buy Feto's bargaining chip. However, the current Feto company has not yet been listed."

If it is not listed, it is impossible for him to see the effect so quickly once the investment is made.Moreover, without listing, the company will also be at risk at any time.In case the market is over, then the amount of funds invested in is completely in vain.But now, there is such a good opportunity in front of you, not only can you get back your own cost, but also, in just a few days, you can earn 5 times as much.

This has proven your ability to invest.

Moreover, Buffett needs Coca-Cola's stock too much.

Bill knew that Buffett was already moved.In order to increase his strength, Bill continued to say, "If feto company is not acquired by our Microsoft, do you think it can continue to survive? You know, not to mention the company that competes with feto company, there is our Microsoft .Even if you don't have these two, there is still a Tang Dynasty tt who is watching this market from behind...

I believe that as long as Tang Chao Company is willing to make a move, there is absolutely no market for Feto Company to survive.The reason why Tang Dynasty Company has no performance now is entirely because they believe that after O Company becomes stronger, Tang Dynasty Company will be the first to be wiped out, and it is Feto Company. "

Although Bill is not as good at investment as Buffett, he is really one of the best in business operations.

"Of course, if we buy Feto, then, given the msn market, no matter how hard Tang Chao tries, it won't be able to shake us."

Who knows that msn and q have already cultivated countless loyal users? It can even be said that as long as the earth is not destroyed, then msn and q can always exist.

Bill talked a lot, and Buffett listened all the time.Until the end, Buffett finally stretched out his right hand and shook hands with Bill, "Okay, let's make a deal."

In this way, during the exchange of handshakes between the two giants, the newly established feto company has been transferred to another.It was Microsoft that took over.
