When Xia Yu came out of San Francisco International Airport, he saw Peter Lynch and others outside the airport.

"Boss, welcome back!"

Peter Lynch said with a smile on his face.

"Peter, I've worked hard for you during my absence!"

Xia Yu looked kind, and his eyes were full of appreciation when he looked at Peter Lynch.

"It's not hard, it's our job duty!"

Peter Lynch smiled and said modestly.

During this time, Peter Lynch did not disappoint Xia Yu, and some of the work he arranged was done very well, although he was not in the United States, he would call Peter Lynch from time to time to learn about the company's recent situation remotely.

After a few brief greetings, everyone got into the car, and the car drove in the same direction.

After simply going home and putting down his things, Xia Yu came to the company non-stop to learn about the company's achievements and operations in detail.

On the phone before, Peter Lynch certainly told him some things, but how could he explain them clearly?

The company's achievements during this period of time are not something that can be read in a while, especially Xia Yu asked Peter Lynch not to forget to list the experience to him.

Before you know it, the day flies.

It wasn't until he took a shower at home and lay in bed at night that Xia Yu read all the materials and had a very clear outline of the company's situation.

The passage of this period of time, to sum up, is actually just two words - acquisition!

Although Xia Yu was not in the company, Peter Lynch executed Xia Yu's spending plan well, and exchanged the green dollars for company stocks.

One of the biggest results has been the acquisition of Abbott.

When Xia Yu got the Rothschild family in London, the obstruction to the acquisition of Abbott's shares disappeared without a trace, and the rest was naturally smooth sailing.

In the end, Polaris Capital acquired a wholly-owned private subsidiary of Abbott for $3.23 billion.

Then there are the retail companies, which acquired 35 percent of the shares of Dayton Hudson Company, 17.5 percent of the shares of Wal-Mart, becoming the largest shareholder outside the Walton family, and the wholly owned acquisition of Price Club stores, which cost a total of $270 million.

Xia Yu also learned that Peter Lynch carried out his instructions, and after acquiring the Price Club, he was reorganized into Costco Retail, which established a Costco hypermarket department in addition to the Price Club.

As for the general manager of Costco Retail, it is Jim Zinganel, and the deputy general manager is Jeff Blotman.

The founder of the original Price Club took the money and left.

In addition to the retail industry, Peter Lynch followed Xia Yu's instructions to invest in the high-tech sector, spending a total of $43.2 million and investing in more than 50 companies.

Two of the most eye-catching are Silicon Valley-based companies.

A relational software company may sound unfamiliar, but its founder became a household name in later generations: Ellison.

Therefore, this company is the predecessor of Oracle, and it definitely has a bright future.

Polaris Capital joined the second round of funding as the lead investor and took a 10% stake in the relational software company.

The other company is EMC Company, which was just established last year, and the investment of Polaris Capital is an angel round of investment, and Peter Lynch is quite optimistic about the founding team and model of this company, and directly invested 40% of the equity with one million US dollars.

The company grew to become the world's sixth-largest software company, and was eventually acquired by Dell in 2015 for $67 billion.

It doesn't matter if you catch two super big fish at once, even if dozens of other companies fail to invest, the future returns of these two companies alone are enough.

Of course, it would be great if the investment of other companies could make money, Xia Yu also found that among the dozens of companies invested, some of them were well-known companies in later generations.

Overall, it was a smart move to hire Peter Lynch to take care of Polaris.

It's just that Xia Yu is still not satisfied, he thinks that the shareholding in relational software companies is too small, only 10%!

It's just that if you don't find it, now that you have found it, if you are still indifferent, you will definitely be thundered.

In the future, Oracle's market value once exceeded $200 billion, which means that if relational software companies stop raising funds now, even if they hold one percent of the equity now, they will be worth $2 billion in the future!

Of course, it is unrealistic to want relational software companies not to raise funds in the future, and at least there is a financing process for going public.

But in any case, taking an extra 1% of the equity now is a huge victory, how much is it better to pick up than that?

Fortunately, Xia Yu has seen strong winds and waves, and he has long been able to be calm in the face of huge wealth, and he still had a good night's sleep.

The next morning, Xia Yu came to Polaris Capital and called Peter Lynch to his office.

Seeing Peter Lynch quietly waiting for him to give orders, Xia Yu did not hesitate, and directly opened the information he saw at night and pushed it in front of Peter Lynch, and said to him: "Peter, I have seen the company's investment results, your vision is very good, and you have found a lot of potential stocks that I am also optimistic about." ”

"The equity of this EMC company is listed as a non-sale, if you continue to raise funds in the future, we will go all out to follow the investment to ensure that the equity is not diluted, and the more equity you can get, the better, but the premise is that we must not interfere with the company's operations indiscriminately, and we only make financial investments. ”

"There is also this relational software company, 10% of the equity is too little, counting on the next financing is too long, and you can't get much equity, you go and arrange someone to buy the equity of other shareholders, as much as possible to acquire more equity, I will draw a line for you, at least increase the shareholding ratio to more than 30%!"

Peter Lynch nodded to indicate that he had listened, looked at the two companies circled on the materials with a serious expression, and said solemnly: "Boss, I remember, I'll arrange it later." ”

......

After spending two days in San Francisco, Xia Yu took care of all the things of Polaris Capital, boarded the plane to the West Coast, and added the time of the transfer, and arrived in Seattle a day later, and came to Seattle Computer Products.

Since Xia Yu set the tone for developing an operating system, the entire company has tilted its resources to this project.

When Xia Yu was in charge before, the development speed was fast and there were few bugs, but he had no choice but to leave halfway, which led to a lot of development speed.

Fortunately, the entire framework has already been set, and it is relatively easy to perfect.

Therefore, when Xia Yu came to the company again and learned about the SCP-DOS system, he thought that the product was bright enough, and it was time to take it to IBM!

After packing up a little, Xia Yu took Thyssen Patterson and several subordinates, with samples of the developed system, to Boccareton.
