Age of Dreams

Vol 2 Chapter 1853: Buy at a premium

  Thinking about the past, Xiao Qi met David's expectant eyes: "What do you want to say to me? The film industry?"

   David was taken aback, and subconsciously asked: "How do you know?"

"The last year you invested in "Air Combat Heroes", how much money did you invest? How much did you lose?" Xiao Qi asked in return, "You have lost so much and still can't stop you from continuing to invest. In this way, would you still use the second one? Does the project invite me to board the thief ship?"

"Thief ship? Haha, interesting!" David laughed, "Don't be so nervous! I didn't understand it before, but I now have a lot of experience. We work together and we will definitely build in the movie circle. What about our forces?"

"Investment is not such a simple matter. After you have a specific plan, come to me." Xiao Qi smiled faintly, "I only invest in the things that have the most investment value. You don't need to look for what is invested in a movie. I am."

   David spread out his hands and nodded regretfully.

   He approached Xiao Qi to invest in movies with Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi opened his mouth and refused. What else could he say?

   David was never expected. In just a few months, he would face a huge debt that caused a major turning point in his life, and Xiao Qi was waiting at that time.

   To be honest, Xiao Qi didn't have much interest in making movies, but if he could take advantage of this opportunity to grab some shares of Paramount, it would be a very good gift for Taylor.

   Anyway, behind Paramount is Viacom Group. Viacom has many chain theaters in its hands. It belongs to those who are both referees and athletes. It is impossible to fail.

  Since he couldn't agree with Xiao Qi, David could only get up and leave.

   When facing Xiao Qi, he felt like facing his father.

   He felt that Xiao Qi didn't look like a 20-year-old young man at all, but rather a cunning man like his father.

   I really don’t know how Xiao Qi got it. It seems that people are better than people, so angry!

   Not mentioning David's departure, after Xiao Qi finished breakfast and strolled around in the yard, Ellison walked over happily.

"Okay! I have persuaded several major shareholders. Everyone agrees with your opinion, and 50% is achieved!" Ellison said with emotion: "You really have taken a big advantage! If it weren't for now Under the pressure of the huge financial crisis, our major shareholders are not so easy to speak."

"They are not good at talking, should I be good at talking?" Xiao Qi sneered: "Like this kind of person, it's best not to get used to them! Give a slap when you should slap! It's not Larry you that this time Personally, I have no interest in paying attention to them! I love cooperation but don't cooperate, and I don't need people to rush up to ask for cooperation."

"Hey, that's you!" Ellison, who has always been known for his character, sighed at this time: "In the United States, the power of capital is the most powerful! Don't look at me now as the founder and chairman of the board. , But if one day I am useless, I will definitely be driven out by the company I founded like Stephen!"

   "So I refuse to invest in predators and refuse to go public." Xiao Qi agreed, "I just want to do things by myself and be more comfortable, and no one will interfere with me!"

   "That's why I envy you!" Ellison smiled, "By the way, are you interested in buying some Oracle stock?"

   "Do you have any conspiracies?" Xiao Qi looked at him vigilantly, "Isn't it because you want to use me as your Oracle's signboard again, showing that you have always been strong and worthy of investment?"

   Ellison reacted so quickly to Xiao Qi and was very surprised: "You are too smart! Has anyone done the same thing?"

   "No." Xiao Qi shook his head, "But for no reason, I have nothing to do with Oracle. Do you ask me to buy stocks and use my influence for unknown reasons? Are you kindly asking me to make money?"

   "In fact, our stocks are quite profitable, and the dividends are extremely high. You will never lose money if you buy it." Ellison said cheekily.

"How do I feel that you are just talking about yourself?" Xiao Qi responded: "Last year you used 1.93 Oracle shares to exchange my DreamPad 1.58 shares. Who of us has more dividends? It's more than that, your annual How much is the salary and equity incentives? The shares have increased a lot this year, right? If I buy the shares of Oracle, I can enjoy 80% of your rights under the same shares, I will buy it! Buy as much as you want!"

   Ellison smiled, not daring to answer.

   At that time, he bought the shares of DreamPad. It was purely optimistic about DreamPad. The facts also proved his vision.

When the two exchanged shares, the value was equivalent to US$2.06 billion, but one year later, Oracle’s stock price is still hovering between 20-25 and there is almost no change, while DreamPad’s valuation is from US$130 billion. The value skyrocketed to around 250 billion, almost doubled. In this aspect alone, Ellison made 2 billion US dollars, while Xiao Qi’s Oracle investment was only parity.

There is also the aspect of dividends. In April last year, the shares held were exchanged. In the seven months to the end of the year, Oracle's dividend to Xiao Qi was only 16 million U.S. dollars, almost less than 1, and DreamPad even removed the high taxes and fees. , Development and research costs, advertising and office operating expenses, the actual profit has reached 30 of the purchase price, that is, Ellison's 1.58 shares, and received dividends of up to 612 million US dollars, which is more than 30 times that of Xiao Qi!

But don’t look at Oracle’s low dividends to shareholders, but Ellison’s dividends and equity incentives are much more than ordinary shareholders. Last year he achieved 2.1 Oracle shares in rewards and equity incentives alone, directly ranking No. 1 in Silicon Valley. One.

   So Xiao Qicai said that he wanted the same rights as him.

Ellison has indeed done a little bit selfishly in this matter. With his strong influence in the company, he passed this reward mechanism, allowing his own shares to increase every year, enjoying the rapid growth of Oracle. Generous income.

In comparison, Xiao Qi is much more kind. On DreamPad, he did not set up equity incentives for himself at all, and did not have a high salary, that is, 5 million US dollars per month. At most, he received 50 million US dollars last year. In the end, all of his year-end bonuses were donated to Mingxiang Elementary School and Mingxiang Middle School for the maintenance of school equipment and the treatment and welfare of teachers. In terms of China's charitable donation environment, Xiao Qi can be said to be nothing.

   Xiao Qi didn't tell anyone about the donation, only his own family knew about it.

  In all fairness, Ellison is a good friend. When Xiao Qi was repeatedly questioned and embarrassed, he jumped out and yelled at those opponents, which was considered a loyal person.

   But when it comes to doing business, Xiao Qi has to be more cautious.

It’s not that Xiao Qi doesn’t like Oracle’s stocks. In fact, in terms of stability and long-term development, Oracle has unusual value. It is definitely more insured than bank stocks and can be compared with giants like IBM and General Electric. It is achievable to stand for at least 100 years.

   Such high-quality stocks, bought and given to children, are also a good asset supplement.

   The diversification of investment is also reflected in these aspects.

   However, it is Ellison who wants Xiao Qi now. Xiao Qi will definitely not buy Oracle stock for no reason. Oracle must give enough benefits to buy it.

Because it is also mixed with Xiao Qi’s own personal brand, it is not an exaggeration to say that with the shareholder name Xiao Qi, Oracle’s value growth is possible by 5-20, and this intangible value must be reflected. In the transaction!

"Larry, actually don't need to think so complicated." Seeing Ellison's embarrassment, Xiao Qi suggested to him "kindly": "Remember the last time we exchanged shares? You can still do this now. !"

   "Are you still willing to exchange DreamPad shares for Oracle shares?" Ellison lifted his spirits, "How much can I change?"

   The growth of DreamPad is definitely better than that of Oracle. After all, Oracle has entered a very large range, and it is impossible to double the growth every year, and DreamPad will continue to grow explosively for a few years without any pressure at all.

The shareholders of Oracle Corp. have already regretted their intestines because they rejected Ellison’s share exchange proposal ~www.readwn.com~. If there is another opportunity, they will definitely not let it go-even DreamPad valuation It has now doubled!

"Don't be happy." Xiao Qi shook his hand, "Now JPMorgan Chase has estimated that DreamPad is 230 billion U.S. dollars, Deutsche Bank has estimated that it is 250 billion U.S. dollars, and Citibank has estimated that DreamPad is 260 billion U.S. dollars. I ask for the highest estimate. Calculated based on the estimated price, and if you exchange shares with Oracle, you need a premium of 30."

   "Are you too greedy, right?" Ellison stared at him, and anyone who was a little bit timid would be frightened by him: "260 billion US dollars will have a premium of 30, I calculate... 338 billion US dollars! You might as well grab the money!"

   "This is my condition. If you want to change it, you can change it. Otherwise, ask me to take out the money alone. I don't have the spare money." Xiao Qi shrugged, "Let them discuss it.

   "That's the only way..." Ellison nodded heavily, and then changed a smile: "If I bought it, you wouldn't be so cruel, would you?"

   "You don't need a premium to buy, we are friends." Xiao Qi also replied smoothly.

   Ellison nodded slightly again, his smile brightened.

Of course he knows why Xiao Qi wants a premium of 30. People don’t worry about buyers at all, and they don’t want to sell at all. If they have to buy, then a premium is normal. You can’t buy if you want, you have to follow the price you said Let's do the calculations? Where is the world looking for such a good thing?

   And if I can buy it at a reasonable price, of course Xiao Qi has given face, enough for friends! R1152
