Family Centennial, Rising from Hong Kong Island

"Damn, why did such a damn thing happen, why did it happen to me." Gai Zi roared angrily in his heart.

In the office, the atmosphere was oppressive, and everyone's faces were full of depression.

At this moment, there was a knock on the office door.

Cover's beautiful female secretary came in.

"Sudden death, there is a gentleman who claims to be the head of an angel investment company and wants to see you."

The angry and suppressed lid didn't even think about it, and subconsciously said: "No, let him go."

In his heart, he subconsciously regarded this person as one of those dunning debtors from the bank.

He's driving himself crazy these days.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he reacted instantly: "Wait, you said he is from an investment company?"

The secretary carefully looked at the gloomy expression on the cover, and nodded lightly: "Yes, an investment company named 'Angel', the CEO, Mr. Han Weinuo, said that he wanted to discuss with you something important."

Angel investment company?

"I've never heard of it!"

Gaizi thought for a while, but he never thought that there was an investment company in the United States with this name.

Maybe a fledgling small investment firm.

"Could it be that they are here to invest in our company?" Dave asked suspiciously.

"Let's see each other!"

These days, all investment companies and investors are avoiding them, Microsoft, and Microsoft seems to be a pile of stinky shit.

It may be a good thing that an investment company finally came to the door.

Gai Li nodded slightly, and said to the secretary, "Mr. Hanover, please come up."

……

Soon, a middle-aged white man walked into Gai Zi's office under the leadership of the secretary.

With a faint smile on his face, he stretched out his hand towards the lid: "Mr. Gates, hello, I'm Hanover."

"Hello, Mr. Hanover."

The two exchanged a cordial greeting first, and then Hannover began to enter the topic.

"Under this big storm, all companies in the United States are having a hard time! Many companies have gone bankrupt, and I heard that Microsoft's situation is not very good." Hannover laughed.

Of course, the cover couldn't admit this, but said: "Our situation at Microsoft is not bad."

Hanover shook his head lightly and smiled, "Mr. Gates, the stock price can't be fooled."

"Believe me, I'm here to help you."

"Before this, I have conducted some investigations on you, and I heard that Microsoft, and Mr. Gates, your personal financial situation is not good."

Gaizi's face remained unchanged, and Hanover continued: "The bank won't give you too much time."

These are the facts, Lid had to admit.

To say that Microsoft's situation is very good is just a means of negotiation.

And the arrival of Hannover is a good thing for Microsoft.

"Mr. Hanover, let's talk about it, what is your purpose for coming to Microsoft?" the lid asked.

"I'm here to solve your practical difficulties!"

"Buy Microsoft stock?"

Hannover nodded as a matter of course.

Gai Zi immediately shook his head firmly: "Impossible, Microsoft is my heart, and I will not sell it."

Hanover smiled.

"There is nothing that cannot be sold, all that matters is the size of its interest."

"If I'm not mistaken, what you discussed just now is how to sell the stocks in your hands to repay the loan and avoid bankruptcy."

"But the embarrassing thing is that no one wants to take your stock."

"Of course, except me!"

After hearing this, Gai and the others were embarrassed. How did this guy know that they were talking about stocks just now.

Is there a traitor?

"What price are you going to buy?" Li Li said softly.

Hannover stretched out two fingers: "Two percentage points higher than the current stock price."

Two percent?

Li Li thought he had heard wrong.

Then he became angry instantly. Is this taking advantage of the fire?

"Impossible!"

"Microsoft is a great company. Its value has only been seriously underestimated. After the financial crisis passes, it will rise again."

Too low for the lid to accept.

When he repurchased shares from Fengyun Capital, he spent nearly 8.5 million for just [-]%.

If he sells it at this price, he will lose a lot.

Hanover was not angry, but shook his head slightly and said, "Mr. Gates, you are right, Microsoft is an excellent Internet company."

"But in today's market, all Internet stocks have become junk stocks, and no one is willing to buy Internet stocks."

"Microsoft's greatness only exists in the future possibility, but more likely, it will fall on the way to the future.".

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Fuck, shit, bloody vampire!"

"Wall Street is a bunch of sons of bitches."

On this day, after Hannover left, there was a loud roar in Gai Li's office.

The lid that has always been a gentleman, now acts like a deranged gambler.

He did lose miserably!

Just now, he has reached an acquisition agreement with an angel investment company.

Angel Venture Capital will acquire 1.8% of the shares in the private hands of Gaizi with a capital of 15 million US dollars!

In other words, the current angel venture capital valuation of Microsoft is 12 billion US dollars.

It is higher than the stock price in the current market, but it is far lower than the real value of Microsoft, and it cannot be compared with the market value of 25 billion before the stock market crash.

Before the stock market crash, Gaizi repurchased 2% of the shares from Fengyun Capital at a price of US$8.5 million.

Now it has to sell 128% for 15 billion US dollars.

This time and again, Gaide not only lost 6.5 million US dollars, but also lost [-]% of Microsoft's equity.

The assets have shrunk by half, and the control over Microsoft has become weaker.

awful!

And in addition, angel investment also bought 6.8% of the shares from Dave and other founding teams at the same price.

As a result, angel venture capital is mastered 21.8% of Microsoft's shares.

And that's just the beginning!

Also on this day, another major shareholder of Microsoft Corporation, Sequoia Capital headquarters also welcomed a guest.

"Ms. Stephen, hello!"

In the office of Sequoia Capital's investment director, Tollef, sitting across from him was a white woman in her thirties.

She has long, blond, wavy hair and wears business attire. She has a good figure, and she doesn't have the bloated body of most white women in their thirties.

The only shortcoming is probably the slight freckles on her face.

She is the CEO of Stephen Foundation!

Very young, and very unfamiliar to Wall Street! !

It was the first time that the person in charge of the project department of Sequoia Capital had heard the name of this Stephen Fund company.

After Tollef had someone do some research, he found that the company was registered two years ago.

It's just a small investment company, and it hasn't done much in the past two years.

There are thousands of such obscure investment companies in the United States.

Big venture capitalists like Sequoia Capital generally don't look at them directly.

And it must also be noted that this woman named Stephen is only the legal representative and CEO of Stephen Fund.

But the shareholders of the fund are other people, three other small venture capitalists who are also unknown.

Seeing this, Tolev understood.

This Stephen VC is just someone else's glove.

The same is true of the three financial companies. This kind of thing is too normal on Wall Street, with cross-shareholdings to hide the real behind-the-scenes shareholders.

It doesn't make much sense to search further, because some offshore companies will definitely be found.

That would be even more clueless.

Therefore, Tollef doesn't plan to care so much.

Now that the financial crisis has not passed, Sequoia Capital is also terrible, and there are endless things to do every day.

He doesn't have that much thought to care about an ordinary venture capital!

"Mr. Tollef, I am here today. I am going to discuss some cooperation with Sequoia Capital on behalf of Stephen Fund." Stephen said, his voice was somewhat neutral.
