Chapter 356: Brainstorming

Ye Dongqing realized the value of Green Mountain Coffee, how could he not focus on the value of technology suppliers, and sent someone to contact him a few months ago to get his hands on the company that provided K cups and coffee machine patents.

Because it is not a listed company, there is no need to disclose equity information to the public, and Mr. Stiller Sr. has never known about it.

After hearing about it at the moment, I don't know whether to be angry or happy, the cost may be reduced, but it also means that the bargaining chips in the fight against Ye Dongqing are completely lost, the only attraction of Green Mountain Coffee at present is the convenient K cup technology, without it, Green Mountain Coffee will not be the biggest bright spot in the market.

The old man was a smart man, and he wisely didn't say more, but reasonably hoped that Ye Dongqing would be able to ensure the interests of other shareholders after the delisting.

If Freshwater Investment Group raises too much money, it means that their shares will shrink accordingly, and the value will still be the same, but the proportion of total equity will be diluted, and this is what worries them.

Don't look at the current market value of Green Mountain Coffee is only about 150 million US dollars, but in Ye Dongqing's view, this company may be able to bring tens of billions of US dollars in profits to itself, and the more shares held, the better, but the rapid privatization and delisting can better ensure his long-term interests, so he felt that there was no need to worry too much, and while raising the repurchase price, he also gave Mr. Stiller a verbal guarantee, telling that he would increase the valuation for financing, and the side could also protect the interests of their small shareholders.

From the current point of view, it must be a very good proposal, which means that the old man's book wealth has increased by tens of millions of dollars at once, Ye Dongqing feels that it is worth this price, it is equivalent to more valuable, the two sides hit it off, and a board meeting will be held in the near future to discuss a result, the total shares of the two have reached seventy-two percent, and most of them will not be a problem.

This kind of money is easy to get by, and what makes Ye Dongqing even more headache is the hedge fund company.

The money from Freshwater Investment Group has been put into the account, and the company executives led by Mr. McCord also quickly raised funds and became the first investors of the Leo hedge fund, and they took out a total of 13 million US dollars, mainly out of believing in Ye Dongqing's vision, and wanted to use the salary they usually earned to roll over some income.

The high-end party to raise funds was arranged for the night after tomorrow, and Ye Dongqing would contact more people, at least he thought so before, but he had no clue until now, which made him wonder if he was the one who played hedging.

Learning to make money like an ordinary person is indeed a bit difficult.

After discussing the old man, he called Mr. McCord and asked him to send someone to follow up, and set up a temporary team to be responsible for the delisting, be sure to keep it secret, in case the news of the delisting leaks out, it is equivalent to giving the hedge fund company the opportunity to make money, but the loss will not be too big, after all, Green Mountain Coffee is not a big company, and the space for operation is limited.

Feeling that it would definitely not be possible to look for a project alone like this, he simply asked the bodyguard to arrange a helicopter to go to Puchuan Building to see the newly formed company, arrange some tasks for them, and let the guys help find it together.

It can't be said that he has been doing useless work all day, but it is true that there has not been much progress, so that when he returned home dizzy, Ye Dongqing Duoduo began to doubt his ability to some extent.

I'm also a little anxious, and it's impossible to say that there is such a thing as an opportunity......

Leo Hedge Fund.

Due to the preparation for the construction of the Cobra Building, there is no separate to rent a new office space, currently with the office building rented by Tamsui Investment Group, the employees did not expect to work overtime on the first day of work, Ye Dongqing told them when he was about to get off work, tomorrow everyone will have a brief project plan.

It's busy, but if the project submitted by the employee is accepted and the investment pays off, their commission bonus can be quite generous.

Among the employees was a young man named Walter Durant, a graduate of Columbia University who had not been very good in the past, had two years of experience at Merrill Lynch, and had worked at Freshwater Investment Group for just four months before being laid off and then transferred to the newly formed hedge fund company.

He went to a party tonight, and it wasn't until he got home that he didn't think that there was something to do, so he drunkenly turned on the computer to search for stocks that had performed well recently, and looked for Google, which had just been listed for two months, and the stock price had risen from $88 to $100.

Ye Dongqing rarely found the passion of entrepreneurship again, and came to the company early the next morning.

He has already contacted Mr. Wu Di of Citibank, trying to get the other party to join, specifically responsible for coordinating with investors, 3.5 million US dollars annual salary, plus business commissions, the other party agreed to leave Citi at the end of the year, and officially join tomorrow in January, mainly because of the development potential of this new company.

Drinking specially bought Green Mountain coffee, to be honest, the taste is only slightly better than instant, and the authentic Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee brewed from a coffee machine worth tens of thousands of dollars is incomparable, mainly because I am used to drinking it, and it is difficult to change the taste for a while.

After drinking it, he threw the cup into the trash, and seeing that the people were almost there, Ye Dongqing walked over, clapped his hands and asked: "Okay guys, there are more than 60 million dollars lying in the company's account now, and every extra minute means that the opportunity to make money is lost, who has any good ideas?"

Brainstorming, change to an industry that Ye Dongqing is not very familiar with, and it is not a shame to ask more people.

An employee who was eager to perform volunteered, raised his hand and said: "Since June, the Federal Reserve has started another round of interest rate hikes, and the performance of the ruble is very bad. Pesos, only the renminbi may rise, international travel capital has not flowed into the United States with the interest rate hike, official data from China shows that international investment rose again in the first three quarters of this year, Washington may ask for the renminbi to appreciate, because the goods there have affected many American factories, and the unemployment rate has further climbed......"

Ye Dongqing waved his hand and interrupted him: "I have learned about this project, the best opportunity has been missed, I can give you two million US dollars to try to invest, but the rate of return is likely not satisfactory to me, who has a better idea?"
