Chapter 518: Trial
Forced buying and selling is never an easy act, and it is even more difficult for a non-listed company like E-song, and Chen Zier personally holds more than 40% of the shares, and it is too difficult to force a resolution contrary to Chen Zier's own wishes through the shareholders' meeting, and the cost is too high for Apple.
However, E-song does belong to the R&D center jointly owned by Shengshi, Morgan Stanley, Gore and others, and they share patents and the commercial value brought by patents.
As the founder and actual controller, Chen Zier does have considerable authority within the company, but it cannot be said that others have no influence on E-song at all.
And as long as the influence can be exerted, for Jobs, this is a positive force, and the result is still unknown.
According to normal logic, a small company with scientific and technological innovation has achieved such results in less than three years, and the NASDAQ is like a ghost.
With all these conditions combined, there is an 80% probability that a normal founder will agree to sell the company.
That's hundreds of millions of dollars.
The immediate benefits are huge,
The stakes for the future are too great.
If you don't sell it, why keep it? Wait for the NASDAQ to be buried!
So Jobs put down his 'personal vendetta', took the initiative to find Chen Zier to negotiate, and gave quite generous conditions to dilute the enemy's color, he felt that this thing was done reliably.
But Chen Zier is not a normal person.
So he thought of the other shareholders of E-song, those were normal people.
Most of the investment institutions in the Internet field have lost money, the Internet companies that were previously foolish and unviable have collapsed one after another, and investment institutions like Morgan Stanley have seen the dollar quickly turn into ashes like being thrown into a furnace and have nothing to do.
Now there is a small company that can make their investment profitable, and it is still not a small return......
There is no need to think about how to choose.
Apple is willing to spend a lot of money to buy, then it must be sold!
Jobs became famous very early, and he is also a well-known rich man in Silicon Valley, he can directly make an appointment with Da Mo's executives, such a person, if it is not for Chen Zier himself to be a rich man, it is not easy to meet just by virtue of the identity of the founder of E-song.
So Chen Zier received calls from individual investors and institutional investors on the same day, and they all expressed their hope that E-song and Apple would continue to contact, at least not one size fits all.
This made Chen Zier a little displeased.
At the same time, it also made him more vigilant.
Fortunately, Gore, an individual investor, has diluted his shareholding from the initial 10% to less than 6%, and he does not participate in the company's operations, so he basically has no right to speak, Morgan Stanley owns 30% of the shares, which is the most except for Shengshi, and the remaining employee shareholdings are very scattered, and they basically need to meet certain conditions to really own.
So there are no unspeakable expectations.
It's just that Lao Qiao's head iron is beyond Chen Zier's imagination.
To that end, Morgan sent a special representative to his office to try to make it happen.
The man who came was Field, a very young white boy, very handsome and very confident.
On behalf of E-song's other major shareholder,
It is not uncommon to have disagreements about the direction of the company's development, and there is always a way to resolve it through negotiation, so as not to immediately treat people as enemies if you have a little disagreement.
In fact, the capital and prosperity that Field represents are grasshoppers on the same rope.
"You know why I'm here. "Field is slender, and has a kind of gentleness that is different from that of Eastern men, and is a more typical Western gentleman, who speaks with a faint smile.
"Know, the world is small, and it doesn't take much time for information to travel. He said with an eyebrow.
Field is confident that he can bring about this in many ways, provided that he is facing a normal person, and to be honest, Chen Zier is calm...... It doesn't make him feel good.
"You are the most talented Chinese I have ever met. Field praised Chen Zier, this is sincere, at this age, this kind of wealth can completely surpass the boundary between yellow skin and white skin.
Chen Zier didn't want to make too many detours, he asked, "How much do you plan to support Steve?"
"No," Field said wittily, "we don't support him, we support you." ”
"Support me?" Chen confirmed.
"Of course, if you make money, we will make money, and if you lose money, we will lose money, and this relationship is stronger than the same bed, so how can you come up with the idea that we will support Steve?"
This is the American's way of persuading, Chen Zier is used to it, smashed his mouth, and asked: "In this way, Field, save us both some time, maybe I still have time to invite you to have a drink." Tell me, if I just don't agree to the acquisition, what is Morgan Stanley going to do?"
The white young man paused, and he read the seriousness in Chen Zier's eyes.
Rubbing his nose, he also put away his unorthodox tone, and said: "We are not going to do anything, you founded E-song, you control E-song, it is still a non-listed company, whether it is Steve, or us, if you don't want to, no one can do anything, but, Chen, unless you permanently isolate your capital and return to China to only do your own small business, otherwise, try not to make Morgan feel that he has no influence on you as an investor." ”
Hearing this, Chen Zier frowned slightly. This Jobs really didn't let him worry.
Field has a point, and he shouldn't give investment banks the impression of being stubborn and not listening to advice.
In fact, he himself knows it.
E-song's best bet at this time is to sell.
From the perspective of rationality and no future prophet, the Internet is a bubble, and all technology companies feel a little unreliable, and it is best to sell them and hold the money in your hands.
Capital is timid, the situation of the NASDAQ makes them not believe in the stock price at all, capital is also short-sighted, this thing now seems to be hugely profitable, then do it, as for whether it will lose a lot in ten years, they can't take care of it.
Fidel saw that it was so effective, and continued: "To be honest, when I heard this, I didn't quite understand your choice, Mr. Chen, I thought I heard it wrong. Field raised his arm, not knowing what to do, "Why refuse? Agreeing to his e-song will bring you nearly $90 million in profit." ”
Chen Zier said: "I don't sell naturally I don't sell, I said on Wall Street a few days ago, if you trust me, I will give you a higher rate of return." If you only see short-term benefits, it will be our common regret. ”
Field nodded, "Yes, that's right, Chen, you're amazing, you've turned against the odds and made Morgan see the hope of making a profit, and your entrepreneurial experience will be a wonderful scene up to now, and it will continue...... You know, you wouldn't have had to do something that hard. ”
It is a complete exaggeration to say that it is a lifesaver, such a big investment bank will not look at him so much, but E-song is indeed a relatively bright investment in the Internet field.
Fundamentally, no one wants to stay here for too long.
The one who can run has run,
Those who can walk are gone,
If you can only climb, believe me, there will be countless people who choose to climb out of the NASDAQ and climb out of the Internet......
And now, the capital represented by Fidel sees this opportunity.
So the test was placed on Chen Zier's desk.
