Chapter 175: Buy or Not to Buy
The relationship with Miss Lily is getting better, and we both have things to do, and we don't plan to stay together all day.
Su Mu was busy preparing for a new company, and the World Communications Network Alliance had been established, and he was planning a new company for himself.
After thinking about it before registering, she finally adopted Lily's suggestion and named it "Firefly", and even helped her think of the name of the future parent company, jokingly calling it "Zoo Group".
The resources in the hypertext link protocol are increasing, and he plans to re-establish a company to develop several programs specifically for it, such as online news sites, such as chat programs, in addition, Su Mu also thought that since he can't make money with CNC browsers, why not redevelop a browser and use HTTP for data search?
There is no provision that this cannot be done, since according to the stipulated agreement, others can use CNC resources to start a business, then Su Mu can also, the starting point is the same, but the idea is more advanced than others.
The most important thing is the server, the client can get involved in anyone, in fact, someone has developed a simple client program based on the hypertext link protocol, Su Mu just heard someone talk about this this morning, and was inspired by it.
In recent years, the number of programmers has skyrocketed, and there are junior ones everywhere, but senior programmers are mainly concentrated in major companies, Su Mu asked headhunters to help, and it is expected that the number of software engineers will increase to about two hundred, and the recruitment will be expanded again depending on the situation.
In addition, he felt that the company lacked a capable CEO and was hesitating whether he should go to it himself, and Yale University did not have much to do with his studies, so he had plenty of time......
Having recently been on the East Coast of the United States, on December 8, Sumu met Mr. Senna again in his office, on Wall Street in Lower Manhattan.
The last time I came to Wall Street, I saw that everyone thought that they might be rich, but now they are quite calm, Su Mu is also rich, and he is richer than most people on Wall Street, and he can stand by the window and look down on the pedestrians below.
There is no Golden Calf on Wall Street today, and an artist is ambitiously busy making it and secretly putting it on Wall Street to make a name for himself.
After Senna sent off the business manager of Goldman Sachs, he returned to his office and asked Su Mu: "The situation has told you, what do you think? A total of 3 million shares, accounting for a quarter of the total share capital, are priced at $28 per share, and it is expected to raise about $84 million."
They feel that the value of the supermarket is about $350 million, mainly because this year's performance has not improved much compared with last year, and sales in the first three quarters have only increased by 11 percent, which is not outstanding, and the advantage is that there are still more than $20 million in book funds, and they are worried that it will not attract enough investors, and they think that it is more appropriate to set the price at $28 per share. ”
Since he is going to be listed, Su Mu's stake in Qugou Supermarket will inevitably decline, and he is likely to lose his controlling stake, and he is no longer too concerned about the retail business, and more concerned about the passionate IT industry, so he doesn't think it's a big deal.
"It's good, after the listing, I will reduce my holdings of 100,000 to 200,000 shares every month, and only keep a maximum of 3.5 million shares, will you object?"
After Su Mu finished speaking, Mr. Senna told him: "I don't care, I believe they don't care, the liquid shares increase, the market value may be higher, and when the time comes, the board meeting will be held, and it will be no problem." ”
"It's great, I've been spending so much money lately, it's just saddening me. ”
Su Mu sat on the sofa, picked up a magazine and flipped through it, and continued: "Qugou Supermarket has very little dividends, and I can only get some money from Penguin every quarter, and I have to invest in my Internet company, and the tax bureau also takes money from my pocket, and when I go public and sell some shares, it should get better." ”
"Every time I hear you say that you don't have any money, I want to bang my head against the wall, and that's just because you don't want to sell your shares, and if you had agreed to Walmart's acquisition, we'd have had enough money now, not to mention that you still have a stake in Microsoft, which has been going crazy lately. ”
Mr. Senna pointed to the west, "The floor of the NASDAQ market is about to be trampled to pieces, people can't buy Microsoft shares, only scattered shares are circulating, and your 2.1 million shares are worth more than 100 million!
Microsoft's development is not fast, its profits are not even as good as Oracle's, and its market value is also a cut worse.
Su Mu shook his head and replied: "Even if I don't sell 200 million, if you have money, it's best to buy Microsoft shares as soon as possible, its development has just begun, I am ready to expand Penguin's computer production, the IT industry outbreak period is in the last one or two years, lasting a few years, or even more than ten years." ”
Knowing that Su Mu had recently developed a powerful technique, Mr. Senna hesitated for a moment and said, "I believe in your vision, and I will try to invest in stocks next, I didn't like stocks before, and people often jumped from the roof of this street because of it."
It's hard to imagine that your wealth has increased by three to four hundred million dollars compared to when I met you last month, and with that patent mentioned by the media, it should have increased by hundreds of millions, right?"
Su Mu thought of the British professor with a hypertext patent at this moment, which is the only uncertain factor that can restrict the development of the network alliance, and he has not contacted the other party for more than half a month, and has become a fishbone stuck in his throat, shook his head and said:
"There may or may not be, and I'm not sure how much money I'll make until I actually put it in my pocket, but I'm definitely a little richer than the last time we met. ”
"Then you should try to buy the Empire State Building, Prudential Insurance Company just agreed to close the deal for $40.7 million this morning, I really tried my best, mortgage it with Microsoft shares, those banks will rush to arrange loans for you, and you don't have to worry about the money at all. ”
Mr. Senna placed a thick stack of documents related to the Empire State Building in Su Mu's hand, and Su Mu asked him in a puzzled tone, "It's not that you don't want to reduce the price, how did you do it?"
"I told the businessman that Prudential was looking for someone to put on a show and try to sell it to him at a high price, and then he got angry and didn't want to continue the talk, so we were the only ones left who wanted to buy. ”
“...... Admire!
There are still more than $3 million in debt, and more than 50 floors have been rented out, so how can there be apartments for rent?"
Su Mu frowned when he looked at the information: "It's terrible, it looks great on the outside, but it's so messy inside, and there are barber salons and cheap hotels? Are you kidding me?"
"I thought you knew this, otherwise how could no one compete with us, Prudential ran it very poorly, it could be rented almost for money, before selling it, it had been stripped of its working capital, and there was only one building left for you, and the good news is that you can collect rent in the future, and there is no shortage of customers. ”
"You should have told me this earlier, I'm already thinking about rebuilding a new building, clean, with the kind of ...... of a high-end mall."
