Age of Dreams

"I don't agree with this approach."

Zuckerberg is worthy of a generation of heroes, and in the face of Xiao Qi, he dared to refuse straightforwardly, "40% is too much, and I cannot take so many shares out. During the development period of Faebook, I must ensure that it is in accordance with my This is a matter of principle and I will not compromise.”

For Faebook, Zuckerberg is definitely an indispensable soul. Without him, Faebook will lose a lot of enterprising spirit.

Although Zuckerberg is not without making mistakes, he still takes Faebook all the way to advance, and he is also the most suitable CEO of Faebook.

In the field of social networking, Faebook is the number one, and Zuckerberg is also the number one himself, and he will never give in to anyone.

"Even if you give so many shares, your voting rights are still more than 40%, isn't it enough?" Xiao Qi smiled, "Do you want to be the second me?"

Xiao Qi is famous all over the world for his stinginess and selfishness in shares.

Although DreamPad and DreamSta have gone through the sale of shares, Xiao Qi now has 80% of DreamPad and 75% of DreamSta.

Shareholders have repeatedly proposed to let Xiao Qi sell some more, and other investors also want to ride this wealth train, but Xiao Qi has never agreed.

Including DreamSno and its parts, which have sales of almost US$300 billion a year, many people are also inquiring about when Xiao Qi arranged for DreamPad and DreamStar to sell the shares of DreamSno by 20 to 30%. .

According to the performance of DreamPad and DreamStar, DreamSno will bring investors a return of at least 30% a year, plus the value-added of its own brand, this is a great wealth.

It is a pity that Xiao Qi has never said this, including the vice presidents of several fairy companies. In an interview, he did not say that the company had thoughts in this regard.

As a result, Xiao Qi's "stingy" and "selfish" brands cannot be taken off.

Hearing Xiao Qi teasing himself so much, Zuckerberg also laughed, "I am not as capable as you, but I am insecure, and I don't want my efforts to be ruined by others, so I still choose to believe in myself."

"But you can't sacrifice my wife's interests for this." Xiao Qi shrugged, "If you have a better proposal, I will listen to you. If not, I am afraid that next year's IPO will be delayed for at least a few months. Up."

When Zuckerberg saw Xiao Qi, he knew that today's negotiations will not be easy. Xiao Qi is much tougher than Tang Mingxiang, and he has such a tough confidence.

He also didn't plan to back down by a large margin, but he felt a little helpless in his heart when he heard Xiao Qi's threats like this.

Although he can, as the largest shareholder and decision maker, use his voting rights to forcefully order Tang Mingxiang to take out more shares, but in this way, he will be completely torn with Tang Mingxiang. If she goes directly to the Supreme Court, it will be Mali. With the ability of the Austrian Law Firm, even if the lawsuit can be won by itself, it will take at least three to five years.

If Faebook is delayed for three to five years, then what is the world's number one?

Besides, things like the founders forcing investors have never been supported by the capital and financial circles. Everyone can invest. If the founders are allowed to bully, then what is the king's law?

Faebook will definitely become the target of public criticism, and the future will not be so easy.

Don't forget, Tang Mingxiang is America's first richest woman, and Xiao Qi is behind her back. If you embarrass Faebook wholeheartedly, Zuckerberg has nothing to do.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to fall out with Tang Mingxiang, so he often came to discuss with Tang Mingxiang, hoping that she could easily agree to the request.

Unexpectedly, it was Xiao Qi who came to negotiate today, and his attitude was much tougher than he thought. Zuckerberg knew that the conditions he had previously imagined would probably be impossible.

He needs to come up with more convincing terms, otherwise he will not be able to quickly reach a unified understanding, so as to complete the IPO process earlier.

Originally, when the IPO went public at the end of February, it seemed a bit hasty. However, according to Goldman Sachs' survey, the timing of listing in February next year is definitely the best time of the year. Their vision is no one doubts, so Zuckerberg had to Changed its strategy and prepared to go public at the end of February.

Fortunately, some preparations for asset liquidation, profit analysis, financial statements, etc. began as early as July. The world's top accounting firm was hired. Now if Goldman Sachs is determined to exclusively underwrite the issuance, then two Together, it is a logical success.

"If Mr. Xiao disagrees with this approach, I still have an idea." Zuckerberg quickly made a decision and revealed his back hand, "I will take 10% out, Miss Tang will take 16 % Comes out, but the extra 2% from my side and 3% from Miss Tang’s side can be promised to be sold after three years. In this way, although the nominal 38% is taken out, in fact it is only 33% now. ."

He knew that Tang Mingxiang couldn't just give up his shares, he must also follow up, so he took the initiative to increase it by 2%.

Xiao Qi smiled, "I don't think this is good, you think it will work... Before the IPO, we first sign the agreement, as long as it is your share, then you enjoy 3 times the voting power. 15% and Xiangxiang 10%, which is also a very reasonable figure."

"Three times the voting power?"

A light flashed in Zuckerberg's eyes, and after a long time of pondering, he suddenly laughed, "Now I finally believe that you have no intentions with Faebook."

When speaking, Zuckerberg's face was full of lightness.

In fact, he had considered this issue before, but now that twice the voting power is already very overbearing. If it is three times, he will basically not let others survive. Even if he reduces his holdings to 10% of the shares, he will still own 30. % Of voting rights. At a time when the equity has been completely dispersed, 30% of voting power is absolutely incomparable to anyone.

Even if Tang Mingxiang still holds more than 20% of the shares, there is no way to compete.

Zuckerberg has no pursuit of money. In his past and present life, even if he had a net worth of more than 10 billion US dollars, he still lived in his previously rented apartment for many years, and it seemed that he had not moved out by 2013.

On weekdays, his consumption is simpler. Apart from going out to eat with his wife, he basically has no time to spend money.

Therefore, for Zuckerberg, more money and less money have nothing to do with Zuckerberg, but Faebook's control is something he will never give up.

Since Xiao Qi made such a promise to him, Faebook will still belong to him in the future.

If this is the case, he could consider doing so in accordance with Xiao Qi's share transfer ratio.

"I'll go back and think about your proposal. In addition, what good suggestions do you have?" Zuckerberg looked at Xiao Qi and said, "Ms. Tang will make a lot of money on Faebook in the future, and the more it can increase Faebook's stock price, The better it is to her."

"How to do it, that's your business. Where do I have so many ideas?" Xiao Qi smiled dryly, "I just want to ask, how do you plan to use the cashed out money?"

Faebook’s IPO is valued at US$120 billion, but when Goldman Sachs acquired 3%-5% of the reimbursement shares, the price was not 120 billion, but almost US$80 billion.

It is not one-third of the net profit. In fact, many procedures and processes of IPO listing are very complicated, and their expenses are also very huge. This difference is almost to make up for their operating expenses, and then there is a slight surplus.

The remaining shares will all be put on the stock market.

Don’t think about 30% of it will be sold to the market, but the US stock market has concentrated global financial capital. High-quality stocks such as Faebook will definitely not worry about selling, and they may rise by more than the first day. 15%.

If it weren't for its valuation is already too high, it would be fun to rise by 35%.

In general, if Zuckerberg cashed out 15%, he would get at least US$12 billion in cash. Selling stocks would need to pay 15% of the federal government’s capital gains tax~www.readwn.com~ and there are still some in California. A 10% capital gains tax is almost a 25% loss.

Such a large sum of cash is certainly enough to do a lot of things.

Zuckerberg nodded and said, "I have a strong interest in the cloud service market and the wireless network market. Most of this money may have to be invested in it. By the way, if your DreamDrive has financing plans, don't forget to tell I!"

"it is good!"

Xiao Qi smiled and agreed.

Zuckerberg's idea is not surprising, this guy is a person who wants to use network technology to change people's lives.

Previous life Xiao Qi also heard in 2013 that Zuckerberg intends to allow residents of poor countries to use the free WIFI developed by Faebook, and these wireless signals will be directly transmitted and covered by satellites. This is not a day or two. The achievements made can not be successful with a little money.

Only a rich and ideal person like Zuckerberg would do such a thing! (To be continued.)
