Chapter 752: Take the money from the friend network and put it into your own pocket
[$22.8 billion, the largest financing in history.] 】
[Friends make history.] 】
[Friend.com IP broke out again, and the number of monthly IP visits in North America broke through a new high. 】
There is no need for any hype, and the financing of Friends.com is a record.
Even in 2020, the same is true.
With so much cash flow, Friends.com has launched a large-scale advertising strategy.
It's not a clever strategy, but it's very useful.
As long as the overwhelming advertising continues, any website can do it.
Immediately, you will see.
With the help of stealing vegetables, the original friend network has become popular, not to mention smashing it in a series of advertisements.
It can almost be said that during this period of time, Facebook, a competitor of Friends, can't even bubble.
However, while the large-scale advertising links of friends' networks continue to appear, Chen Yu is also playing the idea of more than 20 billion US dollars.
"Tsk, these guys are really rich. ”
Looking at the funds in the account, Chen Yu sighed secretly.
No wonder so many companies think of American financing, these local tyrants, these capital, these funds are just like numbers.
It's not money at all.
However, looking at the more than 20 billion US dollars, Chen Yu also has a trace of confidence.
He is now connected to Mogen, Goldman Sachs, Microsoft, Berkshire, Blackstone...... and so on, a series of top capital have been involved.
In the future, not to mention walking sideways in the United States, at least, he wants to see who dares to touch him.
Even if someone dares to touch him, Chen Yu has no opinion, and these top capitals also have opinions.
"Mr. Chen, when do you think we will start the listing plan?"
"Go public, why go public?"
"Mr. Chen, isn't our friend network listed?"
Wang Chang took the information and discussed with Chen Yu the listing plan of the future friend network: "Goldman Sachs is very experienced in the listing area, and they believe that our friend network can be listed within one year at the latest, and they can help us package all the links needed for listing." Of course, if we want to go public as soon as possible, within half a year, they can also do it. ”
"Wang Chang, tell them that Friends.com may need to refinance a few times, and there is no plan to go public for the time being. ”
Chen Yu smiled slightly.
His main purpose in raising money in North America is not really to raise money.
The most important thing for him is to bind these top capitals.
The current progress is not bad, and more than 20 billion US dollars have been smashed in, which can be regarded as binding a lot of capital.
But Chen Yu felt that it was not enough.
He wants to raise $100 billion before going public.
Even to 100 billion US dollars, Chen Yu has to consider whether to go public.
As for why it doesn't want to go public.
That is, to completely grasp these giants in their own hands.
As long as Friends.com is not listed, then the shares of these top capitals cannot be sold.
If their shares can't be sold, then they can't cash out the money they previously invested.
If they can't cash out, they still have to be tied to a network of friends.
As long as they can't cash out for a day, they will be extremely concerned about any problems encountered by the friend network.
If it goes public, these capitals will throw away the stocks, where will Chen Yu find so many bodyguards?
"Still want to refinance?"
Wang Chang was extremely surprised: "Mr. Chen, we have enough of more than 20 billion US dollars, and we don't need to refinance." ”
"Who said it was enough, the friend network side is enough, but our domestic side is very short of money. ”
Although the friend network is important, Chen Yu attaches the most importance to the business on the domestic side.
In particular, it has laid out so many asset-heavy businesses, chips, chip foundries, operating systems, mobile phones, electronic foundries, and all kinds of electronic components...... Any one of these would require a myriad of funds.
Although many domestic businesses are also very profitable, such as online games, YY, and various websites...... But no matter how profitable you are, you can't withstand so many businesses.
"By the way, Wang Chang, do you think we can use the funds of the friend network to domestic enterprises?"
Chen Yu asked suddenly.
This frightened Wang Chang: "Mr. Chen, this is not good. The funds financed by Friends only belong to Friends, and you can't take them away without permission. ”
Wang Chang knew that Chen Yu had always been very bold and could do anything.
But this kind of thing must not be touched.
"Then there is no other way? For example, let Friends lend money to Huanyu Technology. ”
"This ...... This is possible in principle. ”
Wang Chang had a headache, but he still said: "But in this way, those capitals will definitely find us trouble." ”
"What trouble can they get us into, they all add up to 40 percent of the shares, and I have 60 percent. Besides, their shares don't have any voting rights. How the funds are used is my business, and they have no right to ask. ”
Although Friends Financing is to sell 40% of the shares, in order to always firmly grasp the control of Friends, Friends used the financing scheme of different rights of the same shares this time. Although there are some capital opinions on this plan, most of the capital is still very optimistic about the friend network.
And most of the capital invests in the friend network not for control, they just want to make money.
Conversely, even if they have control, they know they can't do it well.
Professional things are taught to professional people to do.
Their profession is investment, so naturally they will not get involved in the management of the company.
"That's what I said, but the impact was a little bad. ”
"It's nothing. Friends have financed so much money, and they can't use so much, it's impossible to keep this money in the bank. Major companies have idle fund management plans, such as buying funds, speculating in stocks, etc., and it is also legitimate for us to lend money to Huanyu Technology. Moreover, our Huanyu Technology is not taken for nothing, the interest is still given, don't you say?"
"This ......"
"Okay, that's it, go back and talk to the major capitals. ”
"Okay, okay. ”
Extremely embarrassed, Wang Chang had no choice but to agree.
A few days later, when Wang Chang prepared to lend $5 billion to Huanyu Technology, a group of capitals were directly dumbfounded.
"What the hell is this?"
"Is he financing Friends.com, or is he financing their Huanyu Technology?"
"Can we say no, though?"
They would love to object.
Objection to invalidity.
With their stake ratio and voting restrictions, any opposition from them is useless.
Although Chen Yu's operation is boring, everything is legal.
Besides, it is really impossible for the friend network to deposit so much money in the bank at once.
Everyone knows that depositing in the bank is the least cost-effective, and the more you save, the less valuable it is.
On the contrary, it is still possible to make good use of this money.
Moreover, now that the Friends Network is developing so well, you have nothing to blame for the Friends Network.
In the end, Mogen and Microsoft symbolically objected, and $5 billion was borrowed from the account of Huanyu Technology through various operations. Of course, the interest is still required, and as for the amount of interest, refer to the bank loan interest.
Chen Yu also didn't want to take advantage of the friend's network.
But although it is said that it does not take advantage of the friend's network, the amount of money such as 5 billion US dollars cannot be lent by ordinary banks.
Not to mention 5 billion US dollars, even if it is 5 billion yuan, it is extremely difficult to lend out.
This kind of slapstick operation is 5 billion US dollars, more than 40 billion yuan, which is like grabbing money, which is really cool.
"Wang Chang, you continue to watch on the side of the friend network, I went back to China. ”
The $5 billion has been transferred out, and Chen Yu's pocket bulged in an instant.
This made Chen Yu feel that his life had reached its peak, and the climax was wave after wave.
What I don't like about money, what I hate the most is money and stuff...... It's also something that can be said.
Of course, it's all a joke.
Now is not the time for Chen Yu to pretend to be forced.
When he returned to China this time, he would have to do a few big operations.
