Chapter 590 Earnings Announcement
"Simon, AIA's listing has been approved, as long as we submit some additional information to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, now AIG wants us to provide a financial guarantee immediately. Hu Guniu said anxiously on the phone
"Aren't they going to raise prices?" Zhou Shi thought that there would be no accident, and in a while, his funds would be able to arrive in his account, although there was no problem at this time, but he would lose some of the initiative.
"Yes, they decided, I heard that people from Goldman Sachs and Da Mo also advised AIG not to have too high expectations!"
Zhou Shi is not surprised by this news, as a state-owned enterprise, AIG's listing will naturally have a lot of preferential treatment, especially when Goldman Sachs is not very clean, it will definitely make more concessions to AIG's listing underwriting, just like they are responsible for the listing of General Motors, more "honor" than money. For AIA IPOs that can only succeed and cannot fail in this way, if the underwriting does not go well, they will be very passive. Of course, historically, this IPO went well, but when it doesn't happen, no one can guarantee it. In other words, Goldman Sachs and Da Mo are basically the two companies that want everything to go well.
"That's good, it's always not very reassuring to put it off until the last minute. "Zhou Shi
"But the problem of funding, if we find a little bit on our side, it will be less than a billion dollars, and there is still a difference of more than a billion dollars. "Hu Guniu, Galaxy Capital 5 billion US dollars, its own funds 2 billion US dollars, the transfer of Datang Telecom and SMIC 1 billion US dollars, Hu Guniu and Yuan Tianfa found a billion US dollars, it is only more than 1 billion US dollars.
"It's okay, Galaxy Capital can squeeze out $1.5 billion, and all the assets of our fund engaged in iron ore speculation can be mortgaged, and the asset size is expected to exceed 10 billion soft sister coins, and you can also mortgage $1.5 billion, those investors basically agreed, you can sign a power of attorney at any time, and lend us money temporarily, if necessary, you can contact us immediately. Zhou Shi did not stop, continued: "Guoke will release its semi-annual report soon, and the third quarter financial report will be released in October, and the listing plan will be officially announced, and now Guoke's cash is close to 10 billion US dollars, and it can lend us at least 2 billion US dollars." ”
"This, so much?" Hu Guniu said in disbelief, with an increase of five billion US dollars all of a sudden, is it possible to acquire AIA as a whole? Hu Guniu suddenly fell into a fantasy, and Zhou Shicai would not agree to such a bad idea, which is like asking Buffett why he did not buy Berkshire Hathaway and why Li Ka-shing did not buy Changjiang Industrial as a whole, it is really unnecessary.
Zhou Shi didn't speak, secretly smug in his heart, the $1.5 billion of Galaxy Capital is AMD's debt, which is another project and belongs to the White Tiger Fund. In addition to the transfer of shares in Friends.com, the $5 billion they allocated in advance also included the funds of the Vermilion Bird Fund and the Xuanwu Fund. This time, AIG slipped the slippers in advance, I am afraid that in addition to the bad market conditions, there is also a knowing that Zhou Shi will definitely be able to raise enough funds, after all, large-scale capital mobilization must not be hidden, Da Mo and Goldman Sachs The two companies know the news, and then persuade AIG not to do useless struggles, even if it is a direct acquisition in the market, Sixiang Fund is still possible to buy more than 35% of the shares. But it's true, if necessary, he can really buy it directly, AIG will definitely not at this time, and he doesn't have the strength to struggle and resist.
"I'll go to Xiangjiang in two days......" Zhou Shi was not in the mood to stay here at this time, the matter had been largely dealt with, and it was time to make a final attack.
The next day, Friends finally got those small shareholders, basically agreed to the mainland listing plan, dismantled the agreement control model, and Lei Jun announced the financial report for the first half of the year. There are not many bright spots in the financial report of Friends.com, except for advertising and game revenue, there is nothing else, and the overall revenue is not as good as Penguin, which is about 400 million US dollars. However, the scale of her assets is very huge, first of all, the shares of the American F&F company, which are worth more than $5 billion; the Asia-Pacific Friends Network (Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, etc.) is 55 percent, the Middle East and Africa Friends Network is 50 percent, and the Central Asia and Russia Friends Network is 50 percent.
Friends Network, which has never announced the specific operation of the company, suddenly announced the financial report for the first half of 2010, which attracted great attention in the financial field. Jack Ma and Robin Lee both called Lei Jun and Zhou Shi one after another to ask about their intentions.
"How much shock is waiting for you......" Zhou Shi
Then, the day after Lei Jun announced the news, Feng Xing of Guoke announced the sales of mobile phones and Guoke Pad in the first half of the year, and once again blinded many pairs of eyes. Guoke mobile phones sold 12.8 million units, Guoke pad sold 4.3 million units, and the overall operating income exceeded 7.2 billion US dollars, about 50 billion yuan.
Once again, the financial circles have lost their voices, and it is unbelievable that there are still such awesome enterprises in China!
"Shell Miracle", the name was worn on the Shell Company for the first time. Lei Jun and Feng Xing's very tacit release of financial reports makes this matter even more reverie.
Why? Why? Why? There are constant interviews with the two of them, hoping to know the specific situation. There are also people who don't care about this and focus on the development of these two companies. Of course, there is still a lot of speculation about whether the two companies are going to merge.
"Hat?" Lei Jun was surprised by the reporter's brainstorm, "Without this plan, we have no merger plan." Lei Jun categorically denied it.
"No, we don't have such a plan, and we haven't had any communication with our friends about that. Feng Xing also decisively refuted the rumors.
"Then why did you release the financial reports for the first half of the year almost at the same time?" The reporter obviously didn't believe the words of Lei Jun and Feng Xing.
For a while, the news of the merger of Guoke and Friends Network was boiling, although many financial experts refuted it, but the media seemed to have found excitement and kept digging deeper into the possibilities. For example, they have common shareholders Time Holdings, Sixiang Fund and Galaxy Capital, and it seems that there is no problem in saying that these two companies are one family.
As the chairman of Time Holdings, Lei Jun assumed most of the firepower, and Hu Groupniu of Sixiang Fund was also tracked by various media in Xiangjiang.
Zhou Shi got off the plane and saw the newspaper handed over, and he was also impressed by this brain hole, MD, this ability to talk nonsense with his eyes open has his demeanor.
