The issuance of additional shares requires the consent of shareholders, which means that the listed company refinances, and the shareholders or investment institutions often have the right of priority financing to ensure that their shares are not diluted, and the price is generally calculated according to an average price some time ago.

When the company has money, it can invest again and create more income, which has a bit of an impact on ordinary shareholders, both good and bad, but overall it is a good thing, especially for Amazon, which is fighting eBay, which has been losing money year after year and now needs money to continue to grow.

Ye Dongqing has no intention of voting against it, and is just thinking about how to ensure that his shares will not be diluted with the additional shares, and if possible, he also wants to go one step further and continue to increase his holdings of Amazon shares through Freshwater Investment Group.

Counted, Amazon's market value of more than 5 billion US dollars this year, and it is about to exceed 6 billion, if you want to win the company's shares, the price is not small, or it is more cost-effective to invest in Alibaba over there, the current market size is small, but the market value is also low, backed by such a large market, plus with the help of Ye Dongqing, maybe he can create some surprises and achieve higher achievements than he remembers.

The guests from Calkawila have already invested, and now the funds have been transferred to an official account for sealing, and there is a high probability that they will be confiscated or returned to Iraq for construction.

This has little impact on Tamsui Investment Group, because Ye Dongqing has already found a home, including Bernard Sr. and others, have agreed to pull money to buy wealth management products, and the amount is likely to be more than two billion US dollars, which means that Tamsui Investment Group will have an extra amount of money, which can be used as an investment.

With shares in Facebook, Skype and other companies as guarantees, the Securities and Exchange Commission only requires one-tenth of the total amount to be invested in low-risk areas, so it has a lot of money at the moment.

There are more than $3 billion in the account, and then there are several large investments that have just been negotiated in the account, including the more than $3 billion in the crude oil futures market, which is enough to buy Amazon in its entirety.

If Mr. Jeff Bezos could nod his head and tell him that he could do so, then Ye Dongqing would definitely not hesitate to take out a billion dollars, but recently Amazon has been very popular, and the entire NASDAQ Internet sector is relatively hot, he can see the opportunity, and other investors and investment institutions can also see it, after a relatively stable 2003, the market is restless again.

"You know, the price of the new stock is going to be lower than it is now, and no one wants to give up the opportunity to increase their holdings if they have the opportunity, except for me, a poor bastard. ”

Mr. Bezos's tone was a little self-deprecating, Amazon has been losing money, naturally it is impossible to pay dividends, more than 97% of his wealth is paper wealth, except for the salary he gets as a CEO, there is no other large income, he is considered a "poor billionaire".

Ye Dongqing was slightly surprised: "Don't you have the money to buy new shares? Why don't you use the current share pledge loan?"

"Loans? But how do I repay the money, do I rely on the income from the management of the company? I expect that it may take five years for Amazon to make a profit, and the money from the profits will also be used for the development of the company, and I am worried that I will not be able to repay the debt when it is due, and the guys at the bank will definitely take the shares from me, so it is better to be stable, after all, I have worked on Wall Street, and I know what the people think, money is paramount. ”

Okay, Ye Dongqing also lay down, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with liking money and pursuing success, so he focused on other aspects and asked: "Then have you promised to give up buying new shares?" If it is possible, I am willing to buy your part of the new stock quota, I will lend you money for free to take down the shares, agree on a price and delivery period, and transfer the shares directly to me after expiration.

You can make some money while I can increase my stake in Amazon, and use the new shares as collateral without any connection to your current assets. ”

At the beginning, Jeff Bezos came to New York to break through, and with his personal ability to mix a little bit of fame on Wall Street, tired of the life of the financial circle, this is the idea of starting his own business, and went to Seattle a few years ago to found Amazon, he must have a mind, and he is much smarter than ordinary people.

He could understand what Ye Dongqing meant, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Interest-free loans, options trading, are you serious?" Just like the stocks you had with warrants at that time?"

"That's right, it's great, isn't it, the price can be calculated according to today's stock price, and then we can negotiate it later, maybe you can make tens of millions of dollars from it, it's better than nothing at all." Ye Dongqing sniffed out a business opportunity and tried to lure Mr. Bezos to agree to his proposal.

As he said, this is indeed a win-win deal, but Mr. Bezos actually still has some thoughts about the new stock, and he is still considering whether to take out a mortgage recently, and told Ye Dongqing at this moment: "Give me some time to think about it, and I will give you an answer in the near future."

In fact, there is one more thing that came to see you today, I want to enter the Huaxia market, just like eBay is doing, I heard that you are also trying to enter the online mall market through a Huaxia Internet company, which will create a conflict of interest between us, I have to get the answer from you face to face, I am worried that this will affect our relationship, if you can give me some advice, it would be great, there is not even an expert in the company who understands the development of the Huaxia online mall. ”

Nodding matter-of-factly, Ye Dongqing opened his mouth and said, "Fortunately, you told me in advance, otherwise when you were beaten by me in the Huaxia market and couldn't hold your head up, I would have to think about how to appease you."

Don't waste money and time on the Huaxia side, I've already completed the layout there, or it won't be long before eBay will abandon the Huaxia market with its tail between its legs, even if Amazon is there, I just invested in an online business company that is very suitable for the local environment. ”

"No kidding, I know your company hasn't even started operating yet, it's just starting to develop programs. Mr. Bezos thought that Ye Dongqing was pretending to scare himself and wanted Amazon to give up the market there, in his opinion, Amazon can succeed in countries such as the United States and Europe, and it will be no exception to go to China, and he is very confident in the direct sales model.

"It's not that company, I don't know if you've heard of Alibaba's Taobao? It's a model of selling goods through the platform and selling directly to users, which is similar to eBay, but it's not exactly the same, I just completed a full $500 million strategic financing for this Internet company, so I still recommend that you don't compete with me, otherwise you will definitely try to fail for the first time......"
