Age of Dreams

In the dead of night, when the phone rang, Xiao Qi didn't want to move, but the little fairy in his arms was awakened at the same time. Seeing her husband so exhausted and blindfolded, she cleanly placed the tender meat on Xiao Qi's waist. Pinched.

"Oh!"

The trace of sleepiness left by the teenager disappeared completely.

Turning around, the little fairy in the bed still closed her eyes, sleeping in an unusually graceful posture, as if the pinch just now did not come from her hand.

Xiao Qi was naturally reluctant to "retaliate" back. On the small table 3 meters away from the bed, the sound of the mobile phone still kept ringing, and the boy could only get up.

Those who can call at this point in time, and those who can call Xiao Qi's personal mobile phone, are definitely not ordinary people. There should be important things that dare to disturb Xiao Qi in this way.

Each wife’s villa has a different decoration style. The first phase of the Yulu Garden villa selected by Huangfu Cai has a very large bedroom with more than 40 square meters, which is more than enough for a two-bedroom.

Picking up the mobile phone, Xiao Qi saw that the time was 3 o'clock in the morning, and then saw the number on it, and felt a wry smile.

The teenager who walked into the living room to answer the phone couldn't help but said: "Reid, I'm sure you are definitely taking revenge on me!"

It was Hoffman on the phone, and it was eleven o'clock in the morning at his place.

"Haha, do I? No! There is just an urgent matter that needs to be discussed with you!" Hoffman smiled as proud as a fox.

"Let's talk! Don't shake me, or I will find someone to call every day and let you pee at night." Xiao Qi said angrily.

Hoffman ignored Xiao Qi's threats and said straight away: "These are some good news, don't you know the Blackstone Group?"

Xiao Qi pondered, and then nodded, "I know, the king of PE, it went on the market last year!"

PE is short for private equity investment fund.

The Chinese of the Blackstone Group may not be so familiar. We should be more familiar with Green Pine Capital, Bayeux Ventures, Silver Lake, etc., but these venture capital companies are considered younger brothers than Blackstone Group.

The first business they started was done vigorously, and they directly helped to buy Columbia Records for US$2 billion. At that time, it was 1985, and the US dollar was much stronger than it is today.

Black Stone has also joined other consortia to create many classic acquisition cases. For example, in July last year, the Black Stone Group acquired the Hilton Hotel for US$26 billion and became the world’s largest hotel group company; the year before and last year, it acquired the largest office property owner in the United States for US$19 billion-and 39.5 billion. The U.S. dollar purchases the nation's largest commercial property group, making itself a super giant in American commercial and office properties.

Simultaneously. Last year, Blackstone Capital, a subsidiary of the Blackstone Group, also acquired 15% of the shares for 7.125 billion US dollars, which is considered to have dealt with.

The Black Stone Group has a very good reputation in the entire private equity investment fund industry, because they never make hostile acquisitions, but only impress others through their feelings and interests. In order to complete the acquisition, they have never become enemies with the acquired target, but will be close friends.

In this regard, China's private equity investment funds are too far behind, and they often force the acquiree to launch a "poison pill plan" at every turn, which ultimately hurts both sides.

Hoffman often thinks that Xiao Qi is an American because he knows the American way too well. It's just that his skin is yellow.

Therefore, Hoffman was not surprised that Xiao Qi knew the Blackstone Group very well, and said: "They want to invest 12 billion US dollars in cash for acquisition."

"Not for sale." Xiao Qi refused without thinking.

Just kidding, the market value of Zynga in the previous life was as high as $11.5 billion, and now there is Xiao Qi's one step in advance, plus the direct access from the computer side. With more than 500 million overall users in the future, it is only natural that its market value will double again.

Besides, now is the time when the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States has spread to a very pessimistic moment, and all Internet and electronics-related companies have been implicated. It is impossible to sell at a high price now.

"Well, I think so too." Hoffman smiled, "Unless they put out 20 billion dollars, otherwise I would be reluctant to sell my shares."

Because he participated in the entire construction, planning and management, Xiao Qi gave Hoffman 10% of the shares. Although it is reasonable to say that this share of shares is a little more, Xiao Qi knows the truth that he is reluctant to bear children and can't cover wolves. If you want Hoffman to do more for himself, Xiao Qi should be more generous, and sharing profits is the best way to cooperate.

Besides, Hoffman is really worth the price.

Hoffman’s website construction was done by Hoffman. The two dozen game teams I found were also brought in by Hoffman, and Hoffman did the negotiation with and, and even the daily management was done by Hoffman. .

What Xiao Qi paid was only three sums of US$1.2 billion before and after, and then just let Mario Law Firm and Accounting Firm supervise the accounts.

It is equivalent to a teenager who is throwing his hand at the shopkeeper. The 1.2 billion US dollars have been exchanged for the current 10.8 billion US dollars of share acquisition request. Isn't it a profit? If you have to swallow it all by yourself without giving it to your collaborator at all, is that cool?

After a pause, Hoffman said again: "In addition, there are two venture capital companies, Silver Lake Capital and DST. Silver Lake Capital has valued 2 billion U.S. dollars and is willing to purchase wholly-owned. DST likes the air board and lodging we just launched, and is willing to use it. 20% of shares at a price of 1 billion U.S. dollars."

"All the quotations from today?" Xiao Qi asked instead without answering.

"The Blackstone Group's offer was yesterday, Silver Lake Capital's last week, but DST's came today." Hoffman was not embarrassed to postpone telling Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi didn't care either, because he had entrusted all the affairs to Hoffman a long time ago, so he should handle these matters, and he would only talk about it when he thought it was necessary to discuss with Xiao Qi.

For example, some medium-sized investment companies and venture capital funds have found the door at the beginning of several companies, but the low price made Hoffman ignore them, and they didn't even mention it with Xiao Qi.

"What do you mean?" Xiao Qi asked.

"What the team means is that they are unwilling to sell 20% of their shares. If you are willing to sell the shares, they are fine. But I suggest that if you want to sell the shares, then give them some dividends at that time, and the reputation will be better. "Hoffman said: "We have discussed the air boarding company before. I don't recommend selling it. After all, it is very valuable in the long run."

"what……"

Xiao Qi pondered.

Although it is very popular in later generations, it has a very sharp shortcoming, that is, the function is too single, and only the map location sharing function is not enough to keep users staying on it for a long time.

Even if Xiao Qi added functions such as travel appraisal and selection to it, it overlaps somewhat.

This is also the reason why Xiao Qi and Hoffman made "investments can be introduced" when looking at the future of these three companies.

The team has 20% of the original shares, and Xiao Qi now holds 80%. For Xiao Qi, it is okay to sell or keep it. Anyway, there are many good Internet companies in his mind.

"Let's do it." Xiao Qi made a decision, "The air board and lodging are done according to your wishes, and the price is increased to 2.5 billion US dollars. If they want, I will give 80% of the shares in my hand to Silver Lake Capital, otherwise I will not sell it. Up."

"You are so cruel!" Hoffman laughed.

Xiao Qi's investment in this project is only 300 million U.S. dollars, which has soared by more than 7 times in a few months. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a huge profit.

"It also depends on whether they are willing or not." Xiao Qi shrugged and said, "If this year passes, I believe it can be worth more than 3 billion US dollars, and it will be possible to sell to 4 billion US dollars."

"okay!"

Hoffman also agrees with Xiao Qi's view that the development of each day is changing with each passing day, and the expansion is amazingly fast. Silicon Valley is definitely not only the Silver Lake Capital family, but Silver Lake Capital has the highest bid.

Think about the three companies discussed with Xiao Qi at the end of October last year. Now in less than half a year, they can actually sell for a high price of 2.5 billion yuan, just like a dream.

All the whimsical ideas in Xiao Qi's mind are indeed gold mines!

Hung up the phone~www.readwn.com~ Xiao Qi didn't rush back to the room to sleep, but wrote another thought in his mind directly on the notebook.

Just mentioned the Blackstone Group, Xiao Qi suddenly remembered that in December 2006, the Blackstone Group acquired Freescale, the top three semiconductor company in the United States, at a price of $17.6 billion.

Freescale is somewhat similar to Infineon. Infineon was spun off by Siemens’ semiconductor division, while Freescale was spun off by Motorola’s semiconductor division.

For this semiconductor company, which has strong capabilities in automotive semiconductors, communication processors, medical microcontrollers, digital signals and mobile phone radio frequency processors, if there is a chance to incorporate it into the fairy company during the financial crisis, then It is definitely a great supplement!

Xiao Qi never thought that his strength was too strong! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point () to vote recommended votes, monthly tickets, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users please go to read.)
