Chapter Eighty-Eight: Return to the United States
After arranging RB's affairs, Lee took another flight to San Francisco Airport.
On May 21, Li Guangyu came to Tianyu Investment Company in Santa Clara City to learn about Yuan Tianfan's investigation of several companies in the past few days.
"Mr. Li, I have sent someone to learn some about Intel and Apple, and as for Microsoft's side in Seattle, there is no useful information back for the time being. Yuan Tianfan said to Li Guangyu.
"Tianfan, tell me about the situation of Intel and Apple. Li Guangyu is very interested in these two companies, and I also want to know if he has the opportunity to become a shareholder, as for the holding, don't think about it, the major investment banks on Wall Street will never let Li Guangyu control these giant companies, and the US government will not agree.
There will be many opportunities in the future, such as Cisco, Google, etc., even if Li Guangyu can start to control in the future, for the development of the company, he must give some shares to the investment banks on Wall Street, so that the company can develop better, otherwise these companies may be ruined in Li Guangyu.
Yuan Tianfan said: "Li Sheng, I suggest that Intel should not invest for the time being. ”
Li Guangyu didn't know why Yuan Tianfan suggested this, and asked: "Tell me about the composition of Intel's shareholders." ”
"Since Intel went public in 1971, one-third of the company's shares have been in the hands of founders Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore, 30% of the shares are in the hands of Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs, and some small shareholders have held a part, less than 20% of the shares are outstanding in the market, and not many people have sold them. Yuan Tianfan replied.
"Then why did you suggest I don't invest in Intel for the time being?" asked Lee.
"Mr. Li, the key is that the current market value of Intel is relatively high compared to our funds, and not many people are willing to transfer, and it is not cost-effective for us to buy at a high price, and we can't enter the board of directors of Intel. Yuan Tianfan replied.
Li Guangyu doesn't have too many memories of Intel, anyway, it was very powerful later. However, in the information investigated by Yuan Tianfan, there are relatively few transactions in the Intel stock trading market, and Intel is now facing the challenge of RB companies, so Yuan Tianfan does not recommend Li Guangyu to buy Intel's shares at a high price.
Li Guangyu did not immediately express his position after listening to Yuan Tianfan's words, but asked about the relevant situation of Apple.
"Mr. Li, Apple's current market value is at most 50 million, if you think Apple has a future, I suggest that our first investment focus is on Apple. At the moment, Apple is looking at financing, and I think we can get on board. Yuan Tianfan said.
Of course, Li Guangyu is interested in Apple, but after the new century, Apple's market value has reached the first, and Microsoft and Google have been left behind by him, and the past 20 years should be regarded as a long-term investment.
Li Guangyu thought for a while and said: "Tianfan, don't pay attention to Intel for the time being, the company's personnel will focus on following up with Apple, pay attention to when Apple will start to talk about financing, and be sure to let our company join in." ”
"Li Sheng, I'll arrange it. Yuan Tianfan replied.
Li Guangyu also knew that Jobs was not easy to get along with, and many times he was less like a businessman and more like an artist. Especially now that Jobs has not been kicked out of Apple, it is even more difficult to get along.
Li Guangyu has already thought about it, if he enters the board of directors of Apple, he can send someone to the past to name himself, and he will not participate in the disputes within Apple, as long as Apple develops like in its previous life.
After talking to Yuan Tianfan about some other things, Li Guangyu left the company and went to the villa he bought accompanied by Du Yonghong and others to take a look at the decoration on the spot.
After Li Guangyu left Li Weiming here to be responsible for the renovation of the villa, Li Weiming came here every morning to stare at the decoration company he contacted, and he did not return to the rented house until the employees of the decoration company left.
Li Weiming knew that Li Guangyu would return to the United States, but he didn't expect Li Guangyu to come here so soon.
After seeing Li Guangyu arrive, Li Weiming immediately greeted him and said, "Li Shenghao is good!"
Li Guangyu saw that Li Weiming's clothes were stained with some decoration materials, and said: "Weiming, you don't have to keep an eye on it all the time, just check it every day." ”
"Li Sheng, I don't have anything to do for a day, besides, this will be your permanent residence in the United States in the future, I don't keep an eye on them to decorate, and I don't feel at ease. Li Weiming said.
When Li Guangyu saw him say this, he no longer persuaded him. Li Guangyu is still very relieved about the bodyguards around him, and at the same time, Li Guangyu is also considering seeing if he can take their family from the mainland, so that they can work more at ease.
"Wei Ming, when will the renovation of this villa be completed as planned?" asked Li Guangyu.
"Li Sheng, I'm afraid it will take two months, this American is too lazy, he only works eight hours a day, he doesn't do anything more, and he has a holiday on Sunday, which seriously delays time, and if the people of our company come to decorate it in less than a month, it can be completed. Li Weiming complained.
Li Guangyu can't do anything about this, the American labor union is very powerful, and the labor in the United States is relatively high, people go to work normally like this, and you can't say anything about the decoration company.
"It's okay, two months is two months, and I don't plan to live here this year anyway. Li Guangyu said.
Li Weiming saw that Li Guangyu had no opinion on this, so he stopped talking about it. smiled and said to Li Guangyu: "Li Sheng, don't worry, if you come here again next year, you will definitely be able to live here with peace of mind, and you don't have to go to the hotel again." ”
Li Guangyu also doesn't like to live in hotels, no matter how luxurious and convenient the hotel is, Li Guangyu still feels more comfortable living in his own home.
"Wei Ming, I won't go in to see it, I'll leave it to you here, and you pay more attention to safety here. Li Guangyu said to him.
"Li Sheng, don't worry, I will take care of this, I think safety with my skills is not a problem. Li Weiming said.
Li Guangyu is thinking about some problems, the United States can legally own guns, and it is necessary for him to recruit some bodyguards in the United States, so that they can own guns, so that safety in the United States can also be improved.
At the same time, Lee also plans to order several bulletproof cars from Ford for use in the United States, and Lee is not at ease with the hotel car now. After all, the hotel's car can't be bulletproof, and if someone on the road goes crazy and shoots at Li Guangyu's car one day, Li Guangyu will be really sad.
Li Guangyu said to Li Weiming: "You have contacted the safety and security department of the sports industry group in the past few days, and asked them to recruit eight retired American soldiers, preferably from the special forces, as my future security work in the United States." ”
"Okay Li Sheng, I'll contact that side as soon as possible. Li Weiming replied.
Li Guangyu returned to the hotel after explaining to Li Weiming.
