Chapter 095: Additional Investment
On Monday, it's the start of another week's work. Masayoshi Kishimoto summoned Asuka Ota and Kiyoshi Kobayashi to the conference room to prepare for a meeting between managers.
Starting today, he intends to maintain this pattern of meeting with the company's executives every Monday morning. This original intention was to emulate the RB chaebol group.
At present, the scale of the company is small, and the number of people is small, and the participation of grass-roots managers will gradually become middle-level managers in the future, until only senior managers participate.
As a woman, Asuka Ota adheres to the traditional customs of RB, and takes the initiative to pour the tea for Masayoshi Kishimoto and Kiyoshi Kobayashi in front of him one by one.
Of course, it's all about the inferior to the superior. When she was a senior manager of the company, she would not take the initiative to pour tea for the male employees below.
Even if there are more important visitors, it will not be her turn to pour the tea herself, but the administrative team Rumiko Kato's business.
"As you all know, on September 4th, Google Inc., located in San Francisco, USA, was officially launched. Kiyoshi Kobayashi and I were going to fly to the United States, and we were talking about additional investment.
In principle, our company still holds 40% of the shares. Even if you pay a little more for the additional investment now, you will be able to recoup the principal and interest in the future.
When neither of us is in the company, Daejeon will have to work hard for you. Masayoshi Kishimoto waited until Asuka Ota was seated, and then spoke first.
While taking minutes of the meeting, Ota's Asuka said seriously: "Although I don't know much about the company's specific investment business, I definitely have the ability to stay at home. President, you can leave it to me with confidence. ”
Kiyoshi Kobayashi has long known that this Google company based in San Francisco, USA, is the president's earliest investment: "Internet companies are the trend of forward development in this era.
There is no problem in investing in this type of company. My question is that we still have to hold a 40% stake in the preferential additional investment right, is it too risky?
Reducing the stake to 10% of Google will first take a wait-and-see look. If it is good, we will invest an additional 20%. Even if it's up to 30%, it's fine. ”
Kishimoto understands that he said this for the good of the company. If it weren't for his own uncertain prophet, holding 40% of the shares directly would be a very big risk.
Moreover, for the time being, hard capital companies are wholly owned by themselves, that is, they are completely privatized. A loss is also a loss of your own money.
As long as he insists on going his own way, there will be absolutely no resistance above. He didn't need to give the board of directors and shareholders the necessary reasonable explanations.
What's more, Internet companies like this are still in the stage of seedling growth, and according to the normal investment logic thinking, they should invest more and more in order to occupy more shares a little bit.
"Today is September 11th. Masayoshi Kishimoto muttered to himself about the date that had nothing to do with the issue. He knew in his heart that Penguin, the Internet company that would become the second largest in China in the future, would be established on November 11, 1998.
This humble Internet company will have a market value of $459.7 billion in 20 years.
Penguin is located in Shenzhen, one of the four first-tier cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. For this reason, I must personally go on a trip to seek cooperation.
Only in this way can you show your greatest sincerity, so as not to be preempted by others. For this reason, he has already set aside 2.2 million US dollars.
Before Kishimoto came here, he studied business administration and studied the business cases of Penguin's success, and he knew the history of its fortune best.
Ma Huateng was originally from a wealthy family, but the university was not too good, and the two key colleges in the province were double non-university universities. However, Shenzhen University is special.
His major was even more special at the time, majoring in computer science in the Department of Electronic Engineering. He was admitted in 1989 with a score of 739 in the college entrance examination, and computers were not called computers, but in the era of computers, and the score charged for this major was arguably the highest major in the country.
Even a secondary school computer related major at that time had a higher admission score than the best national model high school in the city.
This is often a major that is excellent in character and learning, and only smart children are qualified to study. Even in the mid-to-late 90s, many prefecture-level cities still had computer training, that is, teaching copy-paste, typing or something.
Putting it in the afterlife, I think it's particularly ridiculous, it's something that even the mentally retarded can learn without a teacher. However, this was the case in those days, and it is not an exaggeration at all.
Shenzhen University has also produced another Chinese business legend is Shi Yuzhu. He studied mathematics at Zhejiang University as an undergraduate, while he studied software science at Shenzhen University as a master's degree. This is evident from this.
Chinese universities reinstated the gaokao in 1977, the only one in the winter and the lowest overall acceptance rate of less than 5 percent.
In addition to this, a personal political review is required, and the results of the personal college entrance examination are not yet available. Don't think it's unfair, it's in a special era, coming out of the Cultural Revolution and waiting to be rebuilt, and crossing the river by feeling the stones.
If this is compared to recommending college in the past, then for the children of ordinary people, they don't know where to go fairly. There will be several places recommended to go to college, and there will be several places that fall on the heads of children from ordinary families.
Wang Shi, the founder of Vanke, one of China's leading real estate developers, was recommended to go to university in the first place. In his "Road and Dream: 20 Years with Vanke", he wrote that because the boiler burned well, he was recommended by the workers and masters to go to university, that is, he graduated from Lanzhou Jiaotong University (formerly Lanzhou Railway College) majoring in water supply and drainage.
In fact, Wang Shi's father was a leading cadre of the Liuzhou Railway Section, and his old father-in-law was a high-ranking official at the provincial level.
For the generation of post-80s generation before the rebirth of Masayoshi Kishimoto, Wang Shi is like the idol of Ma Yun in the minds of the post-90s.
Wang Shi really introduced the concept of professional managers to China, and truly implemented it in Chinese companies can be managed and operated by professional managers.
At the beginning of Vanke's establishment, he could have firmly held the absolute controlling shares, but he did not do so, which also laid a huge hidden danger for him to be forced out of the palace later.
At that time, Wang Shi's impression to the public, especially business college students, was, who said that people who become chairmen have to be very busy?
As long as he makes strategic decisions, the specific tasks are entrusted to the management team composed of professional managers.
Then, he can go hiking and even advertise. And the entire group of companies is still firmly controlled by it.
