Chapter 492: The Purpose of Ali Shares and Goldman Sachs

Goldman Sachs is the most profitable and powerful investment bank in the United States. It was originally just a small money bank set up by a coachman, but under the operation of generations of partners, it has become the world's top investment bank, and even the U.S. government has been a guest of Goldman Sachs, and many presidents have served as U.S. Treasury secretaries, calling for wind and rain in the world.

For the time being, Goldman Sachs has invested quickly and accurately, almost without missing a move, and it seems that it is always the lucky one who can win the big lottery, but it has missed a big order with the most oil and water - Ali IPO, Ali has also become the biggest failure in Goldman Sachs Group's global investment, not one of them

In October 1999, under the help of a Chinese executive of Goldman Sachs, Goldman Sachs invested $5 million in Alibaba in the first round. It was this precious $5 million that helped Ma Baba survive the most difficult period in the early days of the business, and also made Ali famous from then on, which led to the story of SoftBank Son Masayoshi.

Goldman Sachs finally acquired a 50% stake in Alibaba for $5 million!

Then the disillusionment of the global Internet bubble led to Goldman Sachs becoming suspicious of the Internet.

In 2004, Goldman Sachs began selling some of its shares in Alibaba for $22 million, equivalent to seven times the purchase price. But in contrast, those investors who bought shares from Goldman Sachs ended up being the biggest winners.

Alibaba has proved to be the biggest failure of Goldman Sachs' investment.

As the world's most shrewd and awesome investment bank, Goldman Sachs looked away, got up early in the morning to catch a late set, and achieved the myth of Ali, but he couldn't see Ali's future, peddling at a low price in the initial stage of Ali, and finally missing the jackpot to receive a consolation prize, which is also a great irony.

Since Andy knows this history, he naturally won't miss this opportunity, but he can't be sure whether Goldman Sachs still has Ali's shares in his hands, so he can only try to ask abruptly, both Pierd and Buffett are a little confused.13 The scene was silent for dozens of seconds, Pierd looked at Buffett and said: "Well, there is one, but it is suspected of plagiarizing Yibei, we have sold more than 30% of the shares before and after, and now there are still 10% left in our hands... ”

"The name of the company is Ali, right? I want to buy those shares, I don't know what your offer is?" Andy said calmly to Pierde with a sunny smile on his face, turning the club in his hand, kindly handing it to the caddy.

If you can win this part of the shares now, then Li Xiaoying, who was sent to the Rabbit Country, will have enough foothold and entry points to work in the Rabbit Country, and of course, you can also take this opportunity to get a little more shares of Ali.

"Wow, Andy, you are also interested in the e-commerce of the rabbit country? You must know that it is just a copy of Amazon's rabbit country Internet company, when one of our Chinese executives presided over this investment, most of the shares were sold by us at 7 times the price, you must know that now Ali is developing well, the price is not cheap. With a smile in his eyes and a smile on his lips, Pierd put the golf ball on the holder, stood up, and looked at Andy meaningfully.

The little assistant Torrey standing on the side saw the harmless sunny smile on the boss's face, and couldn't help but mourn in silence for the bald head who was still smirking opposite, what an idiot, every time the big demon king showed this sunny smile, most of it was to lower the other party's defense, and it was a matter of time before he was pitted...

"I am optimistic about the economic development of the rabbit country in the future, so I will establish an investment bank in the rabbit country, the newly established company must always have a foothold to open the situation, Ali is a good entry point, 10 million US dollars I want the remaining part of the shares, I think you Goldman Sachs will not refuse this business, right?"

Andy is not worried that Goldman Sachs will refuse, nor is he worried that they will sit on the ground and raise the price, after all, Ali's popularity in the United States is really not good, and he has been despised for being a copycat Amazon.

Buffett looked thoughtfully at the indifferent expression on Andy's face, he didn't know IT, because he didn't understand, he would never touch it, but a company that can be valued by the wonder boy in front of him should be different.

Pierde pouted, stood up, took a good position, and swung hard.

"Smack"

"The price is good, I'll go back and discuss with everyone, I think our first cooperation will be a happy success!" Pierde doesn't care about a copycat e-commerce company in a foreign country, he cares about building a friendship with Andy, a genius with a strong background and a huge amount of cash.

"Of course, my people will contact you as soon as possible, the company in the rabbit country has been established, the personnel are in preparation, I think Ali's shares are a good gift, at least we have a foothold in the rabbit country, or you are a big multinational investment bank, the world is unimpeded." ”

Andy just smiled faintly, not excited that he could buy Ali's shares, his current mentality is more and more like a real billionaire, wealth has slowly become an indispensable part of his life, he is a person who uses wealth, not a tool that is dominated by the confusion of wealth.

"Hehe, Andy heard that you are going to make a big move next, I wonder if we at Goldman Sachs can help you?" Pierde asked while the iron was hot, seeing that the initial contact with Andy had been fruitful.

Andy shook his head and smiled, shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands to Warren Buffett, who was also smiling and looking at him, and said: "It seems that there are really no secrets on Wall Street, and the so-called secrets are just a matter of time and order that people at different levels need to know." ”

Warren Buffett held the club in his hand, squatted down to swing the ball, slowly stood up and smiled: "I said a long time ago, Wall Street is paying attention to you, besides, everyone is also curious that the first company you choose to buy will be Marvel Entertainment, it seems that Hollywood's report that you want to be the king of copyright is not random speculation." ”

Andy looked at Pierde with a wry smile helplessly, "You guys aren't really that idle, are you, why are you staring at me?"

"Hahaha, who made you appear so unexpected and amazing? It took a year to create almost 6 billion assets, I don't think anyone will ignore you, you have been successful, some seemingly useless things, everyone also thinks that you are laying out through research and speculation, Andy, we Goldman Sachs are willing to be your friend, in your future acquisitions to serve you, any of your companies IPO listing, we Goldman Sachs hope to become your preferred IPO underwriter!"

Peird said to Andy with a serious expression, and also let Andy understand what Goldman Sachs likes about himself, I have to say that Goldman Sachs' appetite is not ordinary, and there will be many companies in his layout that will be IPO listed, and what Peird wants to do is to establish a good relationship with Andy now, so as to exchange for a large amount of commissions in the future.

"Pierde, you didn't tell me that you had this purpose in asking me to introduce Andy to you!"

Warren Buffett's eyes looked at Pierd a little sharply, and his face did not have the indifferent smile he had before, he held the club in his hand, and said in a somewhat clear tone. He didn't want to offend Andy because of Pierde, after all, Andy was too young, and the main thing was that he and Andy had already established a good friendship.

"Hehe, Mr. Buffett, don't be angry, I don't have any purpose, I just said casually, I apologize if I have caused you trouble... ”

Andy smiled, not interested at all in whether the two were acting for himself, but it was nothing, so he smiled and said to the two, "Why not? ”

It was already noon after a round of golf, and the three of them had a pleasant lunch in the restaurant of the golf course, and in the afternoon Andy handed over the purchase of Ali shares to Li Xiaoying, the future CEO of Rabbit Country Investment Company.

For Li Xiaoying's work for this period of time, Andy is very satisfied, her small team has almost run-in, and it is time for Li Xiaoying to take them to the rabbit country, whether it is Ali, or penguins, and a large number of companies that will come to the United States to be listed are still in development, for the KE of funds is conceivable, SoftBank's Son Masayoshi alone relied on the listing of Ali's family to let him rush into the top ten of the Forbes rich list, Andy has to say that the future of the explosive economic growth of the rabbit country is a big cake that no one can imagine, early entry, early benefit!
