Chapter 82 Equity
The accountant, sent by Edward Johnson Jr. to check the accounts, went out with a black face, and he had a premonition that a storm was coming.
Holding various copies of the trading procedures, stuffed them into his purse and hurriedly left, I thought that Edward Johnson Jr. had made more than $700,000 in two weeks under the guidance of a group of super traders, but compared with the numbers I had just seen, it was so pitiful that I couldn't do it.
What the hell is a profit rate of 87.32 percent?!
If it weren't for the fact that experience had told him that this number was correct, he would have thought that the guy who bet against his boss had cheated and transferred the money directly into the new company as a profit.
I made a phone call to inquire about the recent rise in crude oil, and found that it was consistent with the data on the financial statements, and then I realized that there is really such a guy who dares to use more than 12 times the leverage to bet on crude oil futures, and he has successfully won the bet and made such a large amount of money!
On the way back, I seriously thought about the lady's suggestion just now, and felt that it was better to persuade little Edward to give up directly, otherwise he would go winter swimming in this kind of winter, and shout "I'm a pig!", his reputation would be ruined in this life, and there was no need to joke about the glory of the rest of his life......
Wall Street.
Miss Laura was cooking dinner, and the time on the other side of the river was sixteen hours ahead of New York, where it was just getting dark.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of something breaking, and asked loudly, "Grace, are you okay?"
"It's going to be a ring! my machine is shaking!" replied the girl.
Laura was stunned, hurriedly turned off the gas, wiped her hands and ran out of the kitchen, and said excitedly: "I'll call the hospital for you, maybe your operation has been arranged! Put on your shoes, we'll leave later!"
Compared to New York, where there is light snow, the temperature in Xiangjiang is so hot that you need to turn on the air conditioner.
Ye Dongqing didn't know what was happening on Wall Street, and before the call reached him, he finished his breakfast slowly, and told Pony Ma that he also had an Internet company, which was similar to Tencent's business, and finally made the other party interested.
Mr. Ma was on guard before, because he understood what Ye Dongqing wanted to do, after a few rounds of financing, there were not many shares in his hands, if someone was ready to kick him out of the company, the founder, Pony Ma would be very passive, so it was normal to think about vigilance, for the founder of the company, the number of shares and in whose hands always involved a matter of life and death.
"Unlike ICQ, I would like to start with another aspect, the developers are doing the final testing, which is expected to be launched in the near future. ”
Ye Dongqing avoided the important and light, he wiped his mouth and continued: "So compared to Wall Streeters, we are more like peers, I am very optimistic about this industry, which is why I came to find you and hope to invest in Tencent."
If I'm not mistaken, the shares held by the MIH Group are already bothering you, right? They will soon get a controlling stake, and then you, the founder, will become a talker, and you should choose to find a strong helper, willing to give up any decision-making power in 20 or 30 years, and hand over the power to your third-party investor, such as me. ”
He has checked the information, and he has also seen the information of the roadshow, and Bonny Ma's wealth is concentrated in this company, and he was just an ordinary person before starting his business, and he was sure that the other party had no money to fight with the MIH Group.
In fact, Ye Dongqing's capital is also not much, but the other party does not know that as long as he can successfully get a 10% or 15% share, it is enough to satisfy his appetite. It's not that I don't want to have more, but unfortunately the funds are limited, and FaceBook will burn a lot of money next, so there is no need to put all the chips on this company.
The problem Ye Dongqing said has long become a headache for Mr. Ma, MIH Group already holds more than 40% of the shares, even after the listing and financing, it will still hold more than 30% of the shares.
The more critical problem is that even with so many shares, the MIH Group continues to acquire other shares, strictly speaking, this company has become a MIH Group company, and only a small part belongs to him, if they don't feel that someone needs to help take care of it, maybe they would have kicked him out.
Mr. Ma put down his chopsticks and asked with a serious expression: "You yourself said that MIH Group will not sell you shares, and you can't let me sell them to you, which is even worse." ”
"The founder team has it, and IDG also has 7.2% of the shares, and the MIH Group rejected me, but let me talk to the people at its headquarters, it's not that there is no chance at all, but if you can't do it, you can still raise funds to dilute their shares, and MIH Group has the qualification for priority financing?"
"Well, so I don't dare to raise funds recently, only the listing is the most suitable, and no one on the founding team's side will sell it again, at least until after the listing.
Except for me, they have all sold some of them, and now they have enough money to spend, and I will not reduce my holdings at all, and I have not agreed to the recent MIH Group's willingness to buy at a market value of 180 million US dollars......"
In the case of the listing of additional shares, Pony Ma's shares will be diluted, but the shares of the MIH Group will also be diluted, so that the possibility of being controlled by the MIH Group is much smaller.
If you want to understand the current Tencent, you must first understand its financing process in the first two days.
In the early days of the business, IDG and Superman's company Pacific Century Digital invested a total of $2.2 million in Tencent, each with 20 percent of the shares.
In June last year, Pacific Century Digital sold its 20 percent stake in Tencent to MIH Group for US$12.6 million, and then MIH Group acquired 12.8 percent of the shares from IDG.
Just this year, in June 2002, some of Tencent's main founders sold their 100% shares to MIH, so at present, only Poni Ma and the founding team, IDG and MIH Group hold shares in this company, and IDG is enough to decide who this company belongs to.
IDG is the abbreviation of "American International Data Group", this company is headquartered in Boston, behind which are several Chinese, Ye Dongqing saw the representative of this company at the time of the roadshow, and the reason why Pony Ma is interested in Ye Dongqing at the moment is mainly because he said that he wants to give up the right to manage, and the current CEO of IDG does not intend to do that, and has intervened in decision-making at shareholder meetings many times.
The company's shareholding structure is complicated, especially when it comes to power struggles, and one of the reasons why Ye Dongqing doesn't want FaceBook to raise money too early is that he wants the company to develop according to his own ideas for fear of trouble.
The other party has already made it very clear, Ye Dongqing nodded and said: "I will contact IDG and MIH Group first, and you can also help me ask your people, I am willing to buy their shares according to the market value of 200 million US dollars, no matter how much I want, the management rights will be transferred to you......"
