Chapter 191: $3.5 Billion Investment (Plus for "Drifting with the Wind into the Night")
Li Guanghua is now able to use a valuation of 30 billion US dollars to win the 100 million shares that Wang Ye has transferred, and he has definitely earned it.
Not to mention how much profit he can make in the future, at least in the competition with SoftBank International, he has won.
This victory is crucial for Lee as it affects the perception and ability assessment of him at the top of Temasek.
For the same offer, SoftBank International failed to gain the approval of Wang Ye, while Temasek, which he represented by Lee Kong Wah, was recognized by Wang Ye.
What this shows is that it obviously proves that Li Guanghua has outstanding personal ability and is capable of negotiating such major matters.
This is also the first time that he has led a large-scale investment as the plenipotentiary representative of the investment committee, and the result has achieved such brilliant results, a perfect start!
Therefore, for Wang Ye, Li Guanghua is also full of gratitude.
He knew that the reason why Wang Ye didn't embarrass him too much was because his background played a certain role. It seems that this royal industry must have other ambitions in its successors.
But Li Guanghua didn't care at all, in his opinion, it was normal for Wang Ye to be ambitious, and it was normal for him to want to take advantage of the relationship between the "Li family" in Singapore, and even if he used the relationship of the "Li family" in the future, it would be nothing.
As long as Wang Ye releases enough goodwill and is willing to share the benefits, who doesn't want to be used by him.
……
In the end, Temasek paid $3.5 billion to get the 100 million shares of Meigou.com.
The share transfer and signing of the contract were not publicized in a big way.
Generally, after Internet companies get a large amount of financing, they can't wait for the whole world to know that it is because the financing itself is also to build momentum for the enterprise, and it has a certain advertising effect.
But Meigou doesn't need these, not to mention that this is not financing, but just a transfer of Wang Ye's private shares. He only needs to get the consent of several other shareholders at the board of directors of Meigou.com.
When Wang Ye notified several shareholders of the final results, everyone was very happy, because the valuation of Meigou has now increased significantly.
In the last time several shareholders increased their internal capital by 20 billion, the internal valuation of Meigo.com was calculated as 85 billion, RMB. Now it has jumped directly to the price of 30 billion US dollars, which is equivalent to 3 times faster.
This also means that the shares in everyone's hands have appreciated significantly in a short period of time.
On the SoftBank International side, he was very depressed, and Son received a call from Wang Ye personally.
"Mr. Sun, I'm sorry to tell you that I have reached an agreement with Temasek. Wang Ye's tone was full of apologies.
"Why? Wang Dong, could it be that Temasek offered a higher price, and if so, could it give SoftBank another chance to make a quote?"
Son Masayoshi was a little unwilling, he led a team to negotiate twice, and he returned twice, which damaged his reputation as the "godfather of the Internet".
"No, it has nothing to do with the price, in fact, Temasek's quote is the same as SoftBank's. It's just that Temasek can provide me with some other things that SoftBank International can't provide. Wang Ye said calmly.
Sun Zhengyi was dumbfounded, of course he understood what Wang Ye meant. Although SoftBank is well-known in the Internet field, when it comes to the strength and influence behind it, SoftBank is certainly not comparable to Temasek.
What's more, Wang Ye is Chinese, and the influence of the Singapore Li family in the major Chinese families around the world is not comparable to him as a Korean.
Perhaps, Wang Ye has taken a fancy to Temasek's influence in this regard.
"Well, SoftBank is really inferior to Temasek in this regard. Son said helplessly.
"Then, I hope to have the opportunity to work with Mr. Sun in the future. Wang Ye said politely and hung up the phone.
The dust settled on his side, 100 million shares were sold, and 3.5 billion US dollars were credited.
With this huge amount of money, Wang Ye did not let Temasek send it to China, because he did not need such a large amount of money in China for the time being. And once this money is transferred to China, it will be too troublesome to transfer it out for investment.
That's where his Cayman Islands company came in handy, and after a cumbersome process, the $3.5 billion was finally found in the Swiss bank account of the Cayman Islands offshore company.
The use of this money has long been planned by Wang Ye.
……
LISA has just participated in the negotiation and is about to take a two-day break, and it is almost the time of the Chinese New Year, and the company will have a holiday in a few days.
was sitting lazy in his office, surfing the Internet for entertainment and gossip news, when he received a call from Liu Ruomei.
"LISA, PLEASE COME TO THE CHAIRMAN'S OFFICE, WANG DONG IS LOOKING FOR YOU. ”
LISA QUICKLY GOT UP, PICKED UP A NOTEBOOK AND A PEN, AND WENT TO WANG YE'S OFFICE ON THE TOP FLOOR.
When she pushed the door in, Wang Ye was sitting on the sofa, smoking a cigar and waiting for her.
"Chairman, are you looking for me?"
"Come and sit. Wang Ye waved his hand and motioned for her to come over.
AFTER LISA SAT DOWN, WANG YE DID NOT SPEAK IMMEDIATELY, AND CONTINUED TO SMOKE HIS CIGAR, FROWNING SLIGHTLY.
SEEING WANG YE'S EXPRESSION, LISA WAS A LITTLE APPREHENSIVE, AND SHE ASKED CAUTIOUSLY, "WANG DONG, IS THERE ANYTHING EMBARRASSING?"
"Hey......" Wang Ye sighed before he said.
"I wanted to give you a job, but after thinking about it, it wasn't appropriate. ”
"What kind of work, Dong Wang, even if you explain it, I'm fine!" LISA patted her small chest and said loyally.
Now it's the end of the year, and the year-end bonus is about to be issued, and now I have the opportunity to show the attitude of not being afraid of work difficulties in front of the chairman, which is too crucial.
"Oh, is it really okay, is it okay to delay going home for the New Year?" Wang Ye asked curiously.
LISA HESITATED FOR A MOMENT, BUT IMMEDIATELY SAID FIRMLY: "NO PROBLEM! ”
"Haha, you, don't hold on. But this work is not yours, and besides, the Chinese New Year will not be delayed, but you certainly can't stay at home for too long. Wang Ye said with a smile.
THEN, WANG YE TOLD LISA ABOUT THE CONTENT OF HIS WORK.
The raw material of the floating dream, the production of deep-sea seaweed, is a small island in Denmark, called Goddess Island.
This island has long been bought by Frederick, and it has also been transferred to the name of Wang Ye, a Cayman Islands offshore company. In addition, Wang Ye entrusted Frederick to find a design company to plan the development of the island.
The planning drawings have been made for a long time, but because the investment is too large, it has not been implemented.
Now that Wang Ye's transfer of $3.5 billion from Meigou has arrived, the Goddess Island development plan can also be put on the agenda.
IT IS OBVIOUSLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR WANG YE TO PRESIDE OVER THIS WORK BY HERSELF, AND HER TALENTS ARE PULLING AND PULLING, SO LISA IS A LITTLE FREE, AND SHE IS PROFICIENT IN FINANCE AND ENGLISH, SO IT IS ALSO VERY SUITABLE TO BE IN CHARGE OF THIS WORK.
"YOU'RE GOING TO DEVELOP THAT GODDESS ISLAND?!, THAT'S GOING TO COST A LOT OF MONEY!" ASKED LISA, SHOCKED.
She knew that this island was about fifty or sixty nautical miles away from Zealand, with an area of 16 square kilometers, and it would definitely require astronomical funds to develop it.
"Well, the $3.5 billion for this transfer of shares is ready to be filled in. Wang Ye said lightly.
3.5 billion US dollars, that's 30 billion yuan! Even if this goddess island is large enough, 16 square kilometers, it will also invest nearly 2 billion yuan per square kilometer.
It can be said that after the development of this island, every inch of land will be paved with money!
This is a big project, and LISA is also excited, to be able to personally lead a big project with an investment of 30 billion, which is not an opportunity that everyone can encounter.
In comparison, what is the New Year?
"No problem! Leave it to me, it's going to be beautiful. "LISA issued a military order again.
In fact, her work is not too cumbersome, the design and planning have come out, and Frederick in Denmark will help take care of it, and the construction of the project can be outsourced by a powerful construction company.
It can be said that there is not much work in the early stage, and the real cumbersome is in the later stage. After the island was developed by tidying up, the software was collocated and put into operation. That's the real tedious work.
However, as Wang Ye said, things that can be solved with money are not called things.
Is his $3.5 billion a joke, even if it is paved with US dollars, it is enough to cover the entire Goddess Island!
What LISA does is nothing more than to preside over the overall situation, control the progress of various tasks, and choose the right partners.
In the end, the island of Goddess was successfully developed and functioned normally. Then, her job is considered a success.
AFTER RECEIVING THE ORDER, LISA WENT BACK TO PACK HER BAGS AND PREPARED TO LEAVE FOR DENMARK IMMEDIATELY, SHE NEEDED TO DO A SITE VISIT AND MEET WITH THE DANISH ISLAND DESIGN COMPANY BEFORE DECIDING ON HER NEXT MOVE.
Wang Ye did not treat her badly, and directly sent his own private jet to send her to Denmark.
Now that it is the end of the year, various companies are also facing holidays, most of the employees are not interested in working, and the only thing everyone is looking forward to is the year-end bonus!
Because of the merger and acquisition work of Huashang International and THE TOP SHOP, THE FINANCIAL WORK IS MORE CUMBERSOME, SO THE YEAR-END BONUS HAS ALSO BEEN POSTPONED.
It stands to reason that it should be issued in January, but this year, the company has directly changed significantly, so Wang Ye simply notified the companies that the year-end bonus will be issued before the holiday in February.
Now, the financial affairs of each company have also counted the amount of year-end bonuses, and after Wang Ye approves and signs, it can be distributed.
Huashang International now has the largest number of personnel, with two brand divisions, two sales branches, and a Lihua factory. Wang Jingcong is the vice president of finance of Huashang International Company, and after summarizing the year-end bonuses of the following branches, he sent them to Wang Ye.
After a general glance, Wang Ye frowned and asked, "Why is Huashang International's year-end bonus generally lower than that of THE TOP SHOP?"
"This year, Huashang International is losing money financially, and its profitability is obviously not as good as that of THE TOP SHOP, SO IT IS ALSO APPROPRIATE TO HAVE A LOWER YEAR-END BONUS. Wang Jingcong had considered that Wang Ye would have this question before he came, and he had already prepared the answer.
