Chapter 1545: Then I'll laugh at it
Schwarzenegger quickly saw Makino as his most important media partner in his campaign and after his election.
The unique advantages of Internet media have been vividly reflected in the products of YY, YY.com, and Titter, which together build a set of three-in-one publicity solutions, with a very high coverage and effective delivery rate of information, especially in countries with a highly developed Internet like the United States, where the effect is better.
By seizing Makino Technology, Schwarzenegger will no longer need to worry about media resources in the next eight years.
The excited Schwarzenegger took the initiative to stretch out his hand to Lin Qingya and said solemnly: "Miss Lin, I wish us a happy cooperation in the next eight years!"
Lin Qingya nodded and smiled, reached out and shook Schwarzenegger gently, and then compared her palm to Lu Xue beside her, and said to Schwarzenegger and Thomas: "We always hope that the two of us can achieve seamless connection of information, so if you have no opinion, we hope that Lu Xue can become a member of your campaign team, from now until the end of the campaign, she will be by your side as a campaign team worker, so that any needs you have for Makino Technology can be directly transmitted through Lu Xue." β
Schwarzenegger nodded without hesitation, stretched out his hand to Lu Xue again, and said seriously: "Miss Lu, welcome to join my campaign team!"
Lu Xue shook hands with Schwarzenegger and smiled generously: "It's my honor." β
Schwarzenegger immediately said to Thomas beside him: "Thomas, you are responsible for helping Miss Lu arrange a suitable address in Sacramento, and you must implement it as soon as possible." β
Thomas hurriedly nodded in agreement, but Lin Qingya said: "Mr. Schwarzenegger, you and your team don't have to worry about Lu Xue's accommodation and travel problems, we have made comprehensive arrangements for her, you only need to inform her of the location of work." β
Schwarzenegger sighed in his heart, Makino Technology seems to be really sincere, and everything has been considered, so that Lu Xue will be able to actually participate in his own election immediately.
After being polite, Lin Qingya made some suggestions to Schwarzenegger and Thomas, saying: " Mr. Schwarzenegger, after Lu Xue joins your campaign team, you need to inform Lu Xue of the campaign itinerary in advance, and Lu Xue will communicate with the staff of Makino Technology in advance to prepare for your publicity in advance.
The pre-event notice is where you are going to participate in what activities, we will publish it on the website in advance, do basic exposure, this basic exposure, we will not mix any opinions, just a simple report on the matter, so there is no need for your campaign team to provide a press release, we will compile and publish it in the form of a newsletter;
After the event, this link is more important, not only to report the event itself, but also to integrate your political stance and views, this kind of report will have a more obvious tendency, so we need your campaign team to provide a well-compiled press release, in addition, we will also need some photos and video materials of the event site, which also needs your campaign team to provide us after selection. β
Thomas nodded and said, "Of course, there is no problem with these, and we will work together with Miss Lu to strive for a seamless connection." β
Lin Qingya said: "In addition, Mr. Schwarzenegger's titter should maintain a relatively frequent publication frequency, but the content of the publication must be negotiated by the campaign team, and each titter must carefully analyze whether there are major opinion loopholes, or whether there is racial discrimination, Gender discrimination and other views, even the slightest possibility, should be completely eliminated, and we will continue to attract traffic to Mr. Schwarzenegger's titter to increase Mr. Schwarzenegger's influence on the Internet. β
Both Schwarzenegger himself and Thomas are very satisfied with Lin Qingya's arrangement, in their eyes, this is the best partner, because the best partner does not need you to tell him what needs to be done, but he can think of what is best for you and cooperation.
A partner who can think proactively is easy to say, but the chances of encountering it in reality are too small to be met but not sought.
After the two sides reached the intention of in-depth cooperation, the follow-up cooperation process was soon booked, Lu Xue today and tomorrow in Silicon Valley to do a good job handover, and ready to leave for Sacramento, early the day after tomorrow, Makino Technology's car will send her to the hotel where Sacramento stays, if fast, she can go to Schwarzenegger's campaign base camp the morning after tomorrow, and officially start work.
However, when Lu Xue was working in the Schwarzenegger campaign, she would avoid appearing in public as much as possible, and would participate as a behind-the-scenes worker as a whole.
The two sides communicated smoothly and had a pleasant exchange, and when parting, Schwarzenegger said very sincerely: "Miss Lin, please thank Mr. Li Mu on my behalf and tell him that if he comes to the United States, I will definitely come to visit." β
Lin Qingya readily agreed, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, please rest assured, I will tell us Mr. Li." β
Later, Schwarzenegger said to Lu Xue: "Miss Lu, I'm waiting for you in Sacramento." β
Lu Xue nodded and said with a smile: "See you in Sacramento, Mr. Schwarzenegger." β
βokγ See you in Sacramento!"
β¦β¦
Li Mu felt more and more that it was not a wise thing to accept the invitation of the Goldberg family, the main reason was that he originally wanted to experience the circle and life of the world's top class, but when he came, he found that their lifestyle was not suitable for him at all.
Take the goldberg family's manor as an example, it is indeed very large and magnificent, and the ancient buildings of the same scale and the same time history can be rated as a five-star scenic spot in China, but Li Mu does not feel that living in this kind of place is a kind of enjoyment.
In his opinion, living here feels no different from living in the Forbidden City, the grandeur is enough, the luxury is enough, and the history is enough, but it still makes people feel awkward, and always feels that this environment is not suitable for modern life.
Moreover, those local tyrants who live in Goldberg Manor are indeed not people of the same world as Li Mu, and it is even difficult for everyone to find common topics and hobbies, so that although there are always people who invite Li Mu to dinner or parties, Li Mu basically pushes them all away.
These old-money and Middle Eastern royals have a very significant thing in common, that is, they are unwilling to let go of anything that can make money, even if they don't know anything about the industry, as long as they hear that they can make money, they will still rush in, and no one can match the strong utilitarianism.
Even if it was just a chance meeting, these people would still gather around Li Mu and ask for suggestions on investing in the Internet, and even some members of the Middle Eastern royal family directly proposed to invest in Muye Technology, but such people were directly rejected by Li Mu.
If these people want to invest in Makino Technology, the only window is the securities market, after the future of Makino Technology listing, they can invest in a part of the shares of Makino Technology for investment, after all, the issued shares after the listing are free trading, Li Mu can not interfere, but in addition to this window, Li Mu will not give these people any other way.
Li Mu originally wanted to leave early like Bill Gates, but he still had Manchester City Club in mind and hoped to leave the UK after taking ownership of the club.
To his gratification, on the second day after Lin Qingya finished working with Schwarzenegger, Davidson Gober invited Li Mu to his study for tea, and as soon as Li Mu arrived in his study, he told Li Mu with a smile: "Mr. Li, I have good news for you, Manchester City Club has been won by the Goldberg family!"
"Oh?" Li Mu raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "How was the contract signed?"
"All shareholders transferred all their shares to the Goldberg family, and then all the contracts of the club's management, staff, coaching staff and team members were transferred to us, and we promised everyone that there would be no reduction in their salary packages, and we also added a clause to the acquisition contract that the original club members could not change by more than 10 percent," Davidson said Therefore, in order to facilitate the transaction, the original shareholders promised to give a part of the funds to reward these club members, so as to keep them in the club, so that the club just changed owners, but the actual operation will not be affected in any way. β
Li Mu immediately nodded and said, "You are still thoughtful, by the way, how much did the acquisition cost? On the basis of this amount, I will add 10% of the labor fee." β
Davidson waved his hand and gave Li Mu a cup of black tea, and said, "Mr. Li, the club's cost is not much, whether it is for you or for me, it is only a small amount, so you don't have to take it to heart." β
As he spoke, Davidson added: " In fact, I asked Steve Johnson to invite Mr. Li to come to the UK, the main wish is to be able to carry out in-depth cooperation with you, I know that Makino Technology is about to IPO, and I also know that Makino Technology may create a record of Internet company IPO, we very much hope to be able to complete this record-breaking feat with Makino Technology, so I am willing to give you Manchester City Club in a private capacity, the only hope is that you can agree, let HSBC Holdings to be the lead underwriter of Makino Technology's IPOγ β
The corners of Li Mu's mouth rose slightly, and he said with a smile: "Davidson, a club will cost at least seventy or eighty million pounds, or even higher, do you think it's worth it if you pay so much, just to get a lead underwriter qualification for the IPO of Makino Technology?"
"It's worth it!" Davidson said with great certainty: "I firmly believe that the market value of Makino Technology at the time of IPO must be more than 200 billion US dollars, if the strong performance of Titter can be sustained, this market value will continue to rise, and if Google and Baidu perform better after the listing of NASDAQ, the market value of Makino Technology as a shareholder will further rise, in short, I am full of confidence in the future of Makino Technology, and I am also full of confidence in the ability and resources of HSBC Holdings." β
Speaking of this, Davidson continued to explain: "Mr. Li, you see, if the market value of Makino Technology's IPO is calculated at more than 200 billion US dollars, then it is planned to take out 10% of the shares for issuance, and the scale is also more than 20 billion US dollars. Four tens of billions of dollars, these people can also eat it!"
Davidson's words made Li Mu's heart move, these veteran tyrants do have a lot of cash, more than hundreds of millions of dollars, less at least tens of millions of dollars, the most important thing in the IPO stage is that the underwriter can sell the stock at a good price in advance, if the price is low, the boss company will suffer, if the price is high, the underwriter can not sell, even if it is a company that is extremely optimistic about the market, it does not mean that the stock price at the time of the IPO can be set to a sky-high price, because everything has a balance point, miss the balance point, the whole situation will be out of balance to a certain extent, only to find that balance point, the best choice for the companyγ
Li Mu is not familiar with the relationship with overseas banks, this is mainly because of the development of Makino Technology so far, has never borrowed money overseas, let alone financed in overseas banks, the only thing he has taken is Sequoia's money, and Sequoia and HSBC Holdings have a very close relationship, so, in essence, because of Sequoia's capital relationship focusing on high-tech venture capital, HSBC Holdings' valuation of Makino Technology should be the one with the highest recognition.
Moreover, Davidson's intention to cooperate is indeed very strong, and the sincerity is also very sufficient, as long as he can find that balance point with himself, and unswervingly promote the entire IPO in accordance with that balance point, then he is not excluded from in-depth cooperation with them, and the role of lead underwriter can be completely handed over to them.
What's more, the strength of HSBC Holdings is sufficient, and the Goldberg family has also expanded their potential customer base to a large extent through this salon, which means that these people who come to the salon party may become high-end customers of HSBC Holdings in the future, and they are likely to buy a large number of shares of Makino Technology from HSBC Holdings in the IPO stage.
What is the stock price trend of Makino Technology after listing, basically depends on the enthusiasm of these high-end customers in the IPO stage of Makino Technology stocks, if they snap up all the issued shares of Makino Technology in the IPO stage, then after the official listing, the share price of Makino Technology will inevitably usher in a big explosion.
On the contrary, if the stock is not optimistic at the IPO stage and the underwriter is under too much pressure, then the rally after listing will naturally not be too optimistic, and may even fall below the issue price.
Thinking of this, Li Mu smiled and said: "Davidson, since you are so sure, then Manchester City Club, I will laugh at it." β
