Wall Street Legend

  Chapter 358 Brainstorming

  Ye Dongqing realized the value of Green Mountain Coffee, how could he not focus on the value of technology suppliers, and sent someone to contact him a few months ago, and got the company that provided the K-cup and coffee machine patents.

  Because it is not a listed company, there is no need to disclose equity information to the outside world. Mr. Old Stiller has never known about this.

After hearing about it now, I don’t know whether to be angry or happy. The cost may be reduced, but it also means completely losing the bargaining chip against Ye Dongqing. The only attraction of Green Mountain Coffee is the convenient K-cup technology Without it, Green Mountain Coffee would lose its biggest bright spot in grabbing the market.

  The old man is a smart man, so he wisely didn't say any more, but reasonably hoped that Ye Dongqing could guarantee the interests of other shareholders after delisting.

  If Danshui Investment Group raises too much money, it means that the shares in their hands will shrink accordingly, and the value will remain the same, but the proportion of the total share capital will be diluted. This is the worry.

Even though the current market value of Green Mountain Coffee is only about 150 million U.S. dollars, in Ye Dongqing's opinion, this company may bring him tens of billions of U.S. dollars in profits, and the more shares he holds, the better. However, rapid privatization and delisting can better guarantee his long-term interests, so he felt that there was no need to entangle too much, and while raising the repurchase price, he also gave old Mr. Stiller a verbal guarantee that the valuation would be raised. The value of financing can also protect the interests of their small shareholders.

From the current point of view, it must be a very good proposal, which means that the old man's book wealth has suddenly increased by tens of millions of dollars. Ye Dongqing thinks that it is worth the price, which means it is worth more. The two sides hit it off and will hold a board meeting in the near future As a result of the discussion, the combined shares of the two have reached 72%, so there is probably no problem.

   This kind of money is easy to get, and what makes Ye Dongqing even more troublesome is the hedge fund company.

The money from Danshui Investment Group has already entered the account, and the company's executives headed by Mr. McCord also quickly raised funds and became the first investors of Leo's hedge fund. They took out a total of 13 million US dollars, mainly out of trust in Ye Dongqing's vision, and want to use the usual wages to recoup some income.

The high-end party to raise funds was arranged for the night after tomorrow, and Ye Dongqing would contact more people, at least he thought so before, but he had no idea until now, which made him wonder if he was the one who was playing hedging It's over.

   It is really difficult to learn to make money like ordinary people.

After negotiating to send the old man away, call Mr. McCord and ask him to send someone to follow up, and set up a temporary team to take charge of delisting. Give the hedge fund company the opportunity to make money, but the loss should not be too great. After all, Green Mountain Coffee is not a big company, and the room for maneuvering is limited.

   Feeling that it would be impossible for me to search for projects alone, I simply asked the bodyguards to arrange a helicopter to go to the Puchuan Building to see the newly formed company, assign some tasks to them, and ask those guys to help find them together.

   It can't be said that I have been doing useless work all day long, but it is true that there is not much progress, so that when I returned home dizzy, Ye Dongqing began to doubt her ability more or less.

  I also noticed that I was a little anxious. Opportunities can never be said to exist...

  Leo Hedge Fund.

Because of the preparation for the construction of the Cobra Building, I did not rent a new office space alone. I am currently sharing the office building rented by the Danshui Investment Group. The employees did not expect to work overtime on the first day of work. Ye Dongqing told them when they were about to leave work , Everyone must have a simple project plan today.

  Busy is busy, but if the project submitted by employees is adopted and the investment returns, their commission bonus will be quite generous.

Among this group of employees is a young man named Walter Durant, who graduated from Columbia University. His previous ability was not very outstanding. He has two years of work experience in Merrill Lynch and has just worked in Freshwater Investment Group for four months. , was almost laid off, and then transferred to this newly established hedge fund company.

He attended a party tonight, and didn't realize that he had something to do until he got home. Drunkenly turned on the computer and searched for stocks that had performed well recently. The dollar soared to one hundred dollars for Google, the browser he used was a product of Google, and the target he searched was also Google. Because he was familiar with it, and because he was dozing off, he just printed a few pages and went to bed.

  Ye Dongqing found the passion of starting a business again, and came to the company early the next morning.

He has already contacted Mr. Wu Di from Citibank, trying to get the other party to join in, and is responsible for coordinating with investors. The annual salary of 3.5 million US dollars, plus business commission, the other party agreed to leave Citigroup at the end of the year, tomorrow January Officially joined in, mainly because of the development potential of this new company.

Drinking the specially bought Green Mountain coffee, to be honest, the taste is only slightly better than instant, and it is incomparable with the authentic Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee brewed by a coffee machine worth tens of thousands of dollars, mainly because I am used to it , it is difficult to change the taste in a while.

After finishing the drink, he threw the cup into the trash can. Seeing that it was almost time for people to come, Ye Dongqing walked over, clapped his hands and asked, "Okay, guys, there are more than 60 million US dollars lying in the company's account. Minutes mean lost opportunities to make money, anyone have any good ideas?"

   Brainstorming, changing to an industry that Ye Dongqing is not very familiar with, it is not shameful to ask more people.

An employee who was eager to show himself volunteered and raised his hand and said: "The Fed has started another round of interest rate hikes since June, and the performance of the ruble is very bad. The RMB and the peso are more seriously affected. Only the RMB is likely to rise. International hot money has not flowed into the United States following the interest rate hike. Official data from China shows that international investment has risen again in the first three quarters of this year. Ask for the appreciation of the renminbi, because the goods over there have affected many American factories, and the unemployment rate has further increased..."

Ye Dongqing waved his hand to interrupt him and said: "I have learned about this project, and the best opportunity has been missed. I can give you two million dollars to try to invest, but the rate of return may not satisfy me. Who else has more money?" Any good ideas?"
