After Xu Qing came to the café, he saw that Bill Gates was already sitting, a table by the window of the café.

Xu Qing walked over and greeted with a smile, and the two exchanged hypocritical greetings and sat down separately.

The coffee was quickly served by the waiter, and the two took a few sips of coffee, and the business blew each other for a few minutes, and began to get to the point.

Bill Gates put down the coffee cup and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, your time is precious, I won't talk nonsense, I asked you to meet today because I want to invest in Future Group." ”

Xu Qing also put it in the cup and said with a smile: "Isn't Mr. Gates already there, does the extraordinary company under the Future Group have shares, why do you still want to invest in the Future Group?"

Bill Gates looked at Xu Qing s smiling face, and scolded secretly in his heart, pretending to be confused, didn't you Xu Qing know the purpose of wanting shares in the extraordinary company at the beginning.

Speaking of which, Gates is also sad, at the beginning, Gates used Microsoft's shares to exchange shares with Xu Qing for shares of Extraordinary Company.

Originally, he was very confident that he would achieve the purpose of acquiring the shares of Future Group through the shares of Extraordinary Company.

But two years later, not only did he not acquire any shares in the Future Group, not at all, but his share in the extraordinary company is still the same as when the shares were exchanged, and there has been no increase in the slightest.

In the past two years, Gates has used many methods to increase his stake in Extraordinary and acquire a stake in Future Group.

However, all methods failed, and Xu Qing's control of the Future Group exceeded his expectations.

He originally thought that Xu Qing's behavior of not managing the company very well would make Xu Qing's control over the company not very strong.

And Xu Qing is very young, and there are many management elites in the Future Group, so it shouldn't be difficult for those elites to fool Xu Qing.

Everything went beyond his expectations, Gates had completely failed in his purpose at Future Group, and he was about to give up the idea of acquiring shares in Future Group.

But the turning point came, and recently he heard that Xu Qing was inspecting the investors of the Future Group and wanted to release some of the shares to the investors.

As far as he knew, Alan had already talked to Xu Qing about acquiring shares in Future Group.

The current Future Group can be said to be no longer a simple Internet company, with the merger of the original Glory Group into the Future Group, the current Future Group is a big man in the Internet industry and the game industry.

Future Group's valuation is higher, the growth potential is greater, and there are more people who want to invest.

Bill Gates continued to smile: "As a businessman, I understand the value of Future Group, and if there is an opportunity to invest in Future Group, I am very willing to invest. ”

"I don't know what Mr. Gates thinks there is an opportunity to invest in Future Group?" Xu Qing said.

Bill Gates chuckled, what do you mean? Xu Qing was about to reject his investment, he was anxious, and hurriedly said:

"Mr. Xu, I am willing to exchange shares of Microsoft, shares of other companies I have invested in, cash, real estate, etc. for shares of Future Group. ”

Bill Gates is willing to take out even Microsoft's shares, it seems that he is very eager for the Future Group, Xu Qing thought to himself.

Xu Qing took a sip of coffee and said, "How much does Mr. Gates want to invest?"

"The more the merrier. Bill Gates immediately said this, and then smiled awkwardly:

"I'm sure I want as much as possible, but I also know that Future Group's valuation is very high, and my net worth is not half of Future Group's valuation.

So I'm very happy to be able to acquire a 5% stake in Future Group. ”

According to the current valuation of Future Group, 5% of the shares are worth more than $2 billion, and with Bill Gates's net worth of more than $20 billion, it is easy to come up with this money.

But as Xu Qing and Allen said before, any investor who buys the shares of the Future Group must pay several times the valuation of the Future Group to acquire the shares of the Future Group.

What's more, Xu Qing will not give Bill Gates 5% of the shares, Bill Gates and Allen are both individual investors, for individual investors, Xu Qing will not give too many shares to Future Group.

Except for the shares of Xu Qing and relatives and friends, most of the shares of the Future Group are to be exchanged with the big forces.

The fundamental purpose of Xu Qing's exchange of shares in Future Group is not for money, but for the network.

Bill Gates is the second richest man in the world in terms of net worth, but in terms of real strength, there are many forces in the world that are stronger than Bill Gates.

"I can't agree to your conditions, 5% is too much. ”

Xu Qing simply rejected Bill Gates' idea of acquiring a 5% stake in Future Group.

Bill Gates was in a hurry again: "5% of the shares is not much, and it has little impact on the company's decision-making. ”

Bill Gates thought that Xu Qing was worried about him, and acquiring too many shares of Future Group would affect Xu Qing's control over Future Group.

So to put it mildly, it shows that he has no idea about the control of the future group.

Xu Qing waved his hand: "It's not a problem, I won't give too many shares to individual investors." ”

Xu Qing euphemistically said the reason why he couldn't agree, with Bill Gates's cleverness, he should be able to quickly understand the meaning of Xu Qing's words.

Sure enough, after Xu Qing said this, Bill Gates's face was not very good-looking.

I wanted to open my mouth several times, but I didn't say it, and finally reluctantly said: "So how many shares of Future Group is Mr. Xu willing to sell?"

Bill Gates still wants a stake in Future Group very much, although Xu Qing said that he can't agree to a 5% stake, but even a 1% Stake in Future Group is very good.

"1%, and the terms of the acquisition will be well above the current valuation of the 1% stake. Xu Qing said.

"What conditions?" asked Bill Gates.

Xu Qing said slowly: "Originally, according to the current valuation of Future Group, 1% of the shares are worth more than 400 million US dollars, but if you want to acquire 1% of the shares, then you need to come up with 1.5 billion US dollars."

And the $1.5 billion can't be all cash, at least $500 million worth of company shares or patents need to be provided. ”

Bill Gates's eyes widened, this condition can go to heaven, nearly 4 times the premium acquisition.

Usually, when a company is acquired, the purchase price is about 1 or 2 times the company's valuation, and 3 times is relatively small, let alone 4 times.

"The premium is too much, it's just a robbery. Bill Gates said unpleasantly.

Xu Qing smiled slightly: "So that means that Mr. Gates does not agree to this acquisition condition?"

"No, your premium is a bit too much, it's unreasonable. Bill Gates said.

"It's this acquisition condition, if Mr. Gates can't accept it, then forget it, today's coffee is delicious, thank you. After Xu Qing finished speaking, he left directly.

Bill Gates sat on the chair, his face changed gloomily, and it did not stop Xu Qing from leaving.

Xu Qing returned to the room and lay comfortably on the bed.

Negotiating with Bill Gates has always been boring, and whether his behavior of leaving directly just now will make Bill Gates angry, Xu Qing doesn't care at all.
