Chapter 127: Layout
After the others left, Li Zetian, Yu Jingqiu, and Buffett remained at the Hilton Hotel. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Zetian likes to go straight, so after the three of them sat down, Li Zetian said: "Mr. Buffett, I want to take a stake in Berkshire Hathaway, I don't know if you agree with it? I believe that if I take a stake in Berkshire Hathaway, it will definitely bring huge benefits to Berkshire Hathaway." As you should know, I have three companies under my name, Apple, Microsoft and Sunbird, all of which are leaders in the industry and have very good economic benefits. If the company makes money, it will not be all in the bank, but will take out a part of the money to invest, if I am a shareholder of Berkshire Hathaway, then Berkshire Hathaway must be the first choice!"
When Warren Buffett heard this, he couldn't help but bow his head and ponder, thinking to himself, in addition to what he said, Chronos-Li is also a world-famous wealth myth, if he can take a stake in Berkshire Hathaway, he will be able to make Berkshire Hathaway become the investment and wealth management company of the world's richest people, so that they are willing to hand over their assets to us to manage, so that the company has abundant funds and makes more money (in addition to charging fees, there is also a revenue share)!
Buffett didn't think too long, he immediately made a decision, he smiled and said to Li Zetian: "Chronos, I very much welcome your investment in Berkshire Hathaway, presumably the other shareholders of the company have the same attitude as me! And I believe that the introduction of a strategic investor like Chronos-Li will greatly promote the company's business development!"
"Thank you!"
"Chronos, I don't know how much you're going to hold?"
"At least 20%!"
Buffett frowned slightly, but quickly stretched.
"This matter, I will hold a general meeting of shareholders to discuss this matter after I return to the company, and then notify you!"
"Hmm!" Li Zetian nodded, and then asked, "Mr. Buffett, do you estimate how much money I would need to invest if I wanted to hold 20% of Berkshire Hathaway's shares?"
Buffett shook his head and said, "Forgive me for not being able to answer you for the time being, after discussion at the shareholders' meeting, we can get accurate data!"
"Well, well, come on, drink!"
Li Zetian smiled and picked up his glass......
When she got home in the evening, Yu Jingqiu asked Li Zetian curiously, "Is this Berkshire Hathaway company very powerful, and is it worth your attention?"
Li Zetian leaned his head back on the sofa before replying: "It's not Berkshire Hathaway that is powerful, but Warren Buffett who is powerful! With him, Berkshire Hathaway will definitely develop into a Fortune 500 company! Well, let me tell you this, if you handed over $10,000 to Buffett in 1956, it may become hundreds of millions of dollars in the future!!
When Yu Jingqiu heard this, a pair of beautiful big eyes were full of surprise, and her sexy and charming mouth was also slightly open.
Li Zetian smiled, took her into his arms, and asked: "Why? Don't you believe it? Actually, if you look up the development history of Berkshire Hathaway over the years, you will be full of admiration for Buffett. Berkshire Hathaway, originally a textile mill on the verge of bankruptcy, was carefully managed by Warren Buffett and turned the mill into an investment company. In 1968, Buffett's funds rose to $100.4 million, of which $25 million belonged to Buffett. This year, the stock market triumphed, but Buffett informed his partners that he decided to gradually liquidate almost all the stocks in the company's hands. In June of the following year, the stock market suddenly took a sharp turn and gradually turned into a stock market crash! However, Berkshire Hathaway escaped because of Buffett's shrewd decision!
During 1970~1974, the U.S. stock market was like a deflated ball, without a trace of life, and continued inflation and low growth made the U.S. economy enter a period of "stagflation". At this time, Buffett finally made a move and bought a large number of cheap stocks. In 1972, Warren Buffett set his sights on the newspaper industry again, secretly eating the Boston Globe and the Washington Post on the stock market, and his intervention made the Washington Post a huge profit. If we take a stake in Berkshire Hathaway at this time, we will be able to sit back and enjoy its success!! and I believe that under Buffett's management, Berkshire Hathaway will be more and more profitable in the future!"
"According to you, Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway are really worth our investment!"
"Of course, there is no such store in this village, the opportunity is rare, and after the investment, we don't need to manage it, and we can enjoy huge dividends every year, why not?" Li Zetian said with a smile.
As he spoke, Li Zetian's hands began to be dishonest, and he groped around in Jingqiu's clothes.
"I hate it~~ I'm going to take a shower first!"
"Hehe, let's take a mandarin duck bath together!"
What happened next immediately became indescribable......
The next day, Warren Buffett held a general meeting of shareholders to discuss Li Zetian's shareholding.
"The addition of Chronos Li will help ensure the success of Berkshire Hathaway, as Chronos is a genius who has never been seen before with his business acumen and the creation of three very successful companies at such a young age," he said.
The major shareholders nodded one after another, and there was no objection to Li Zetian's stake in Berkshire Hathaway.
Warren Buffett continued: "However, Chronos Li is asking for at least a 20% stake in Berkshire Hathaway, do you have any opinion on this?"
Someone said: "Actually, this request is not unexpected! It took only two years for Chronos' Li to create the myth of billions of dollars of wealth, and if a legend like him wants to take a stake in a company, he must have enough say in it, and if he has less shares, he will definitely not do it! If his participation can bring huge benefits to the company, I agree with him holding 20% of the shares!!"
I also agree that if he had only created a company and achieved success, it might have been just an accident, but Apple, Microsoft, and Sunbird have all achieved remarkable results, and this is not accidental, but the strength of genius! As far as I know, all the best-selling products of these three companies were designed by him himself, Apple-l, Apple-ll and Walkman, Microsoft's BASIC and Excel, Sunbird's "China Cube", "Pac-Man", " Donkey Kong, Super Arkanoid and Game-Watch. In addition, his investment vision is also admirable, such as investing in Mos Technology, the best-selling Mos6502 microprocessor is the company's product, Mos6502 is also one of the key factors in Apple-ll's success, and investing in the acquisition of Gary Kildare's operating system, which made Microsoft almost monopolize the 8-bit personal computer operating system market. In addition, Sunbird acquired Atari Inc., making Sunbird dominate the video game market in the United States!"
"Yes, Chronos Li is really amazing!"
"Genius is like this, I'm afraid there is no one in the world who can compare. It's no exaggeration to say that Chronos-Li is one of the most dazzling myths and legends of our time, and I can't imagine what a great accomplishment he will have in the future when I think he is only 20 years old!!
"It would be a blessing for such a peerless genius to join Berkshire Hathaway, and I would approve of his stake!"
"I agree too!"
“……”
Seeing that the shareholders were supportive, Buffett concluded: "Okay, since everyone agrees that he holds 20% of the shares, then let's discuss how much money we need him to invest?"
After half an hour of discussion, the final decision was $100 million.
When the meeting ended, Buffett immediately called Li Zetian and informed him of the incident.
This price is a little more expensive, but since it is an active shareholding, the premium is normal. Berkshire Hathaway's future market capitalization will reach more than $200 billion in 2016, and the annual income is very high, and the shareholder dividend alone is a huge income!
"Mr. Buffett, I fully accept this price!" Li Zetian said, "After I raise enough funds, I will immediately sign an agreement with you! This time should not exceed a month!"
"Well, okay. ”
After the call, Li Zetian immediately called Thomas Rockefeller and planned to borrow money from Chase.
"Hello, Mr. Rockefeller, I'm Chronos. ”
"Oh, Chronos, hello, it's rare to call me, what's wrong, have something to ask me?"
"Yes, I'm going to borrow $100 million from Chase Bank in my personal name!"
There was a pause on the other end of the conversation, apparently thinking.
After more than ten seconds, the other party replied: "Okay, I will tell the other directors of Chase Bank, I think Chase Bank will definitely be willing to lend you money! However, 100 million dollars is not a small amount, and it is better to take out the items that need to be valuable as collateral." ”
"I can take a stake in Apple. ”
"Well, that's fine. ”
"Okay, thanks Mr. Rockefeller, then I won't bother you......"
The next morning, Li Zetian went to Chase Bank and successfully got the loan. In the afternoon, he contacted Warren Buffett and signed a shareholding agreement with Berkshire Hathaway.
The day after the agreement was signed, Berkshire Hathaway held a press conference to announce that Berkshire Hathaway would issue additional shares, and Apple founder Chronos Li invested $100 million to become the company's second largest shareholder, holding 20% of the shares, second only to Warren Buffett, who held 38.6%.
As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused a huge sensation!
Berkshire Hathaway has suddenly become a company that has attracted the attention of the whole world!
For a time, Berkshire Hathaway's stock was immediately sought after by investors, and countless wealthy people were also discussing whether to hand over their money to Berkshire Hathaway.
Thomas Rockefeller couldn't help but be surprised, and then he learned that Li Zetian had taken a loan to invest in a company, and what surprised him even more was that in less than a month, the value of Li Zetian's shares in Berkshire Hathaway had risen by 27.3%, that is, he had earned $27.3 million!
"Oh God, is Chronos so good at making money?!" Thomas Rockefeller sighed in a low voice, very emotional, and then, his eyes lit up, and he smiled, "It seems that I will have to deal with him more in the future, and if there is such a chance to make money in the future, the Rockefeller family will also participate in it!"
After saying that, Thomas thought of something, and couldn't help sighing, "Alas, what a brilliant talent, why did he just get married, or introduce Chronos to Julia, the first beauty of the Rockefeller family, he will definitely be attracted by Julia's peerless appearance, yes, absolutely will! No man can resist her temptation!!"
Li Zetian easily invested in Berkshire Hathaway, which is a small layout. Berkshire Hathaway's business scope includes insurance, confectionery, media, diversified operations, non-bank finance, investment, companies of different natures or large conglomerates, which involve many things that Li Zetian does not understand, so his stake in the company is equivalent to Buffett helping him make money in areas he is not familiar with. In terms of high technology, including computers, the Internet, robots, artificial intelligence, etc., Berkshire Hathaway rarely gets involved, but this is an area that Li Zetian is familiar with, and he will naturally set up his own investment company to invest.
Li Zetian has to make a lot of money, so that he can change the world!
He wants to make medical technology advance by leaps and bounds in his lifetime, solve difficult diseases, and prolong human life!
He wants to make space technology advance by leaps and bounds in his lifetime, and realize interstellar migration as soon as possible!
He wants to make breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, energy, biology, materials, and so on in his lifetime!
