Chapter 520: Three Minutes to Solve Trouble
Chen's final refusal made Steve a little disappointed that he couldn't hide.
To be honest, he didn't understand the reason very well, he knew that the most important thing for this Chinese might not be money, and he also wanted to develop extraordinary products, so he wanted to use the latter to attract him, but he still failed.
Chen Zier finally said: "E-song is my company, I don't want to sell it, so I won't sell it." ”
"When Field approached me, I did think it was a bit tricky, but when I think about it, all they wanted was immediate gain, so I just gave it to them. ”
He said that he was confident, indifferent and calm, which made Jobs feel bad.
He's not a loser, he just likes spods, he likes small and beautiful E-songs, but he's not afraid,
In this case, it will only be a head-to-head competition, although Apple is one step behind in the mp3 music player project, but E-song is still in its infancy.
What puzzled Jobs was how Chen Zier was going to 'give them immediate benefits'.
"Chen, I have to remind you that you have to consider the feelings of investors. ”
"I didn't have to listen to them in the fundamental direction of choice. Chen Zier immediately said firmly, and then smiled, "Of course, I have a better way." ”
After saying that, he took his leave.
Leaving Steve with a look of doubt and unwillingness, he clutched the cup on the stone table tightly, wanting to pick it up and have a drink, but in the end it slammed it on the table again!
Chen Zier called Li Zhonghong, and asked his assistant to book a flight to New York, and took Field with him, and he was going to Morgan's investment banking department to make a small deal.
Morgan Stanley's head office is divided into nine divisions, and its own business is very diverse, so it is divided into equity research department, investment management department and other departments.
It's headquartered in the World Trade Center, and it's a huge 1.2 million square feet of office space, and it's home to some of the brightest financial geniuses, well...... Unfortunately, in September 2001, they lost the place, and perhaps some of their great staff, who knows.
Chinese understanding of financial derivatives is not very clear, itself we do not play these things, in fact, if you want to say comparison, the domestic financial derivatives category is not even 5% here, of course, whether it is good or bad still needs to be tested by history, these geniuses are indeed very smart, can make a thousand strange routines, but everything changes, in the end you still do not have a physical product out.
On the other hand, finance is the heart of the economy, and if the heart can't beat others, it is actually risky for us.
These are not tabled, for the people here, as long as they can make money, in addition to his life and balls, he can even give it to his mother, of course, Chen Zier doesn't need these.
On the plane that came, Li Zhonghong sorted out some Internet companies and Morgan contacts for him, Chen Zier took a closer look, before the NASDAQ stock market crash, they did make a lot of money, including Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, and many other investment banks, as underwriters, in the past year, they have operated hundreds of IPOs.
Li Zhonghong actually didn't know Chen Zier's plans, but he didn't look like he was going to fight a big war at all, but he was very relaxed, and he used some desserts during the flight.
He had a great conversation with Field, who told him a lot about Wall Street...... As well as beauties.
And after landing, he put away his thoughts, and took Li Zhonghong to meet Minister William, who is not as young and humorous as Field, with glasses on his nose, and always locks you with very sharp eyes.
Chen Zier sat opposite, crossing Erlang's legs, he was full of confidence in today's meeting, and it was rumored that Ma Yun's father had only seen Sun Zhengyi for six minutes.
He felt that his meeting would only last three minutes.
Three minutes to solve all the troubles.
"Dear Chen, I hope I can hear good news from your mouth, Field said you want to see me, so is there something he can't tell me about?" William was still a big bald head, with a forehead tattoo, and Chen Zier really doubted that his glasses were useful.
"Of course it's good news, William, I'm sure it will be more pleasant than our previous meeting, Fidel has done a good job, I should have listened to his advice, it was a scientific choice. "It's just that it's hard for me to imagine that I'm going to join Apple and work with the same temper as Steve Jobs." ”
William's brows furrowed, "Chen, the current environment is not good, you are still young, you have a lot of time to start from scratch, and I believe that with your talent, you can create an even more amazing company." ”
"Don't worry, William, how about we make a deal. ”
"Oh?" the old man bewildered.
Chen Zier touched his chin and said: "Morgan holds a lot of outstanding shares in Internet companies, I think this is the work of the investment banking department, and I have always known that Morgan Stanley's investment bankers provide the best solutions for customers' financing needs. ”
"Here's what the deal is, William. Chen Zier said word by word: "He contains two aspects, first, if you lack confidence in the Internet, I can buy back part of your E-song shares at a premium, and you can also discuss with investors who bought E-song shares through Morgan, and I will buy them if you are willing to sell." ”
"The second part is that I won't agree to Apple's takeover offer, which I know will cost Morgan some benefits in the near future, but I'm willing to compensate for it in other ways. ”
William looked at Chen Zier with a little surprise.
In his opinion, this solution is a bit crazy, the first one is understandable, as for the second......
"So, how do you want to make amends?"
Chen Zier said: "It's okay, I looked at the footprints of the investment banking department, you hold shares of many companies, and they are now falling to the price of cabbage on the NASDAQ, and what is even more frightening is that they have been falling, and no one wants to take over, and I ...... Willing. ”
William immediately understood, "Are you crazy?
Chen Zier said calmly: "You only understand the stock market, and I understand the Internet." ”
For William, this is an acceptable way, although it is not like E-song was acquired to make money directly, but the thinking of people engaged in the economy is somewhat different from that of normal people, in short, although there is no income, but reducing losses is also gains.
"Shall I say yes then?" asked William.
Chen Zier shrugged his shoulders, "Then I won't sell E-song either, it's best for us to respect each other." ”
Of course, he will not take all of them, because his strength is not enough, he can't catch them, but at this time, the market value of many Internet companies has fallen by seventy-seven eighty-eight, and Morgan's holdings are all small and have no holdings, so Chen Zier spent $30 million to reduce considerable losses for William.
William was also a little hesitant, and he asked, "Do you think the stock will not fall again?"
Chen Zier shook his head, "No, the NASDAQ will continue to fall in the next six months." ”
"In my opinion, your decision is a bit crazy. ”
Behind the madness, his understanding was that Chen Zier didn't dare to reject Morgan easily, so he chose to lose some in exchange for giving each other a step.
He could only understand it from that point of view.
As for Chen Zier, of course, he will not only choose those Internet companies that come back to life later, otherwise it will be too exaggerated to look at it after many years, but in fact, as long as he catches a few, even if some stocks are really scrapped in the end, his total income is earned by relying on these few. For example, Amazon's stock price has increased hundreds of times.
These are the inside things that only he, a reborn person, knows!
