Chapter 142: Misjudgment (2/4)

IDG Group is headquartered in Boston, and its main leaders are several wealthy Chinese Americans.

Last night, Ye Dongqing told them that he was interested in the 7.2 percent Tencent shares and wanted to ask them to talk in person, so the next morning, a middle-aged man surnamed Li drove to the agreed place, Puchuan Building.

Boni already knows this news, as long as the shares are not acquired by MIH Group, even if Ye Dongqing increases his holdings a little, he feels that it doesn't matter, because he took the initiative to give up the decision-making power of all the shares in his hands, and handed over the power to manage the company to Pony Ma, so in his eyes, Ye Dongqing is on his side and will not have much impact on Tencent.

When it comes to South Africa's MIH Group and IDG Group, it is also a coincidence that this company values Tencent.

In 1999, when AOL's ICQ sued Boni for OICQ infringement, Tencent didn't have much money to deal with at that time, so much so that Boni wanted to sell him for 3 million yuan, and the highest price was only 600,000 yuan.

A friend told him that if he was really bankrupt, he didn't have to worry about how to repay the money, as long as he didn't use Tencent's shares to offset the account, and then Zeng Qing, who had met Ye Dongqing last time, pulled the first investment from IDG, with a market value of $5.5 million, and sold 20% of the shares of PCCW to IDG and Superman respectively, with a total of $2.2 million in financing.

Later, in the Internet bubble collapse crisis, Yahoo's market value shrank from more than $90 billion all the way to more than $8 billion, and Amazon's stock price plummeted from $23 billion to more than $3 billion.

Later, it gradually evolved into the pattern before Ye Dongqing entered the game, and the 7.2% shares in IDG's hands were also a small amount left at that time, in fact, after Ye Dongqing decided to raise 50 million US dollars this time, the shares in their hands have shrunk, according to Mr. Li's idea, Ye Dongqing needs to pay 27 million US dollars to get it.

Tamsui Investment Group recently made a sum of money, this figure he can take out, at ten o'clock in the morning when they were sitting in the office, Ye Dongqing was telling: "I can accept your offer, the only requirement is that I want to extend the payment time to two months later, you know I just took out 50 million US dollars, and now I still have the ability to perform the contract, but I need to give me time to raise this fund, if I can accept it, then I can sign an agreement with you in a few days." ”

Recently, the price of crude oil has risen too crazy, he is already preparing to short, and the reason for the delay of payment on Tencent's side is the same, or plan to use the funds on hand before paying, and then make a hard profit, after missing the crude oil surge period, the next attempt at futures may have to wait until the end of 2003, at the beginning of 2004, Ye Dongqing remembered that he refueled the car at that time, and the oil price has been rising, as if it will never rise.

At the peak, he remembered that it had risen to more than $140 a barrel, but unfortunately the risk was too great, so it was better to invest in these companies safely.

"I'll talk to my boss for two months, and it should be fine, you can pay seven million dollars upfront, and pay us the rest when the funds come over." ”

"That's great, I'll send someone to continue to communicate with you and draw up the transfer agreement. Ye Dongqing said with a smile.

This kind of business that you are willing to negotiate is not troublesome at all, and he doesn't want to make extraneous branches because of a little money, so he doesn't even have the intention of bargaining, in fact, the other party's offer is reasonable.

In the past two years, Internet companies have had a hard time, and Washington has lowered the threshold for mergers and acquisitions, and the transfer of equity between American companies and American companies can reduce a large amount of tax and promote the vitality of the entire industry.

Ms. Vigo was also in his office, knowing that it was time for her to come on the field, and talked about the specific payment and transfer.

Ye Dongqing went out and made a phone call to Boni to inform him that it had been negotiated, and it was necessary to talk to the CEO about the transfer of shares like this.

......

Kanek had been in California for more than half a month, and at this time he called to report to Ye Dongqing.

The first batch of temporary salesmen just finished training a few days ago, all the relatives and friends around them "harvested", the total purchase amount in just three days exceeded 6 million US dollars, worthy of the richest state in the United States, there are more people who have money to buy financial products.

Not only is the business in California going smoothly, but in New York, the base camp of Freshwater Investment Group, these high-return wealth management products are now slowly attracting the attention of some wealthy people, and occasionally there will be large purchase orders with an amount of hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars.

Since the share of warrants mainly comes from Apple, Amazon and Netflix are relatively small, and the premium is too high, so it is still in a state of loss.

Apple's stock price has fallen slightly recently, opening at only $7 and 16 cents today, and the stock market has not had enough recent upward momentum, and even lost a little, all supported by the performance in the futures market, and the flow of funds is completely fine.

Ms. Vigo's gossip is right, the rich and fat little Edward of Johnson's family has indeed been speculating in crude oil futures recently, and the total value of the position in his hand is about 200 million US dollars, and the profit has exceeded ten percent.

This made him start to swell, thinking that crude oil futures were not a big deal, and little Edward's mother of the capital predator who was in charge of Fidelity Investment Group gave some advice on this transaction, and when it came to the channels for getting first-hand news, this guy had too many advantages over Ye Dongqing.

Ye Dongqing was still too careful after all, so that he misjudged the situation, he knew that the price of crude oil would rise before the outbreak of the war, but he didn't know how much it would rise, he thought that four dollars was already a risk, but in early March, the price of crude oil futures jumped to more than $30, and soon broke through the $31 and $32 mark!

Little Edward's own management of funds, a large part of which was invested in the bonds, stock market, he saw such a market, and finally couldn't bear it, violated the agreement to let Ye Dongqing use the funds to continue to increase the position, a conflict broke out between the two, angry little Edward unilaterally decided to tear up the agreement, take out the money and invest it himself, and would rather share half of the total profits as compensation.

Ye Dongqing didn't want him to withdraw, because he wanted to use the money to short, but Little Edward had made up his mind, and it was useless to say anything, maybe because he got inside information, and just like that, their short-lived cooperation quickly collapsed......
