Chapter 128: Carlos's Advance
Will is just a mouthpiece, not worth George's time wasting on him, and if the deal is successful, then George will be completely labeled a fool in the eyes of most investors.
It is a very uneconomical deal to exchange billions of dollars for the huge wealth that is available to him, but to exchange them for shares that they see as far from seeing the future.
George can imagine how many people will come to their door to sell their so-called toxic assets as a wronged man.
George is happy to see such a situation, and only in this way can he get some high-quality assets in advance when everyone is waiting and watching, after all, when those predators are harvested and re-played, George can only be a spectator on the sidelines, at most pick up some leaks.
Before leaving the café, George turned around and smiled strangely at Mielkes, who had sat down again and stared at him, that made Mielswell a little chilly.
If he can know that in just two years, Amazon can push its market value back to nearly 10 billion, although eBay's stock price has fallen sharply due to the impact of the Internet storm, but after expanding the market in Europe and Asia, the market value of billions is also rolling up, I don't know what kind of expression it will be.
Compared to these two companies, the shares of the Los Angeles Times are the most inconspicuous and have little potential for appreciation.
As the founder of the Citi empire, Sandy Will not take mistakes even if he is wrong, there will be a special scapegoat to replace his decision-making mistakes, and Mielkewell will be the best replacement, at that time George does not need to go down in person, just need to push gently, and Mielswell will fall into the abyss if he does not say that he will never recover.
For those who offend themselves and make themselves feel humiliated, George will not let go gently, and now he is facing the justice that the behemoth of Citi cannot get back, and in the near future their own people will do it for him.
In the following time, George had a brief exchange with Li Jianjun at the Bank of China Building, and after reconfirming the cooperation, he went to the company.
"George, Will just called us to get ready to hand them over, have you really decided to make a deal with them?
The deal is not equal for us, the Nasdaq winds are still raging, Amazon's share price has fallen to a new all-time low, and eBay's Wynnett has announced a buyback to stabilize the plummeting stock price.
This is not a good opportunity and we need to wait. ”
As soon as he entered the company, Carlos followed George to his office, and spoke before George could sit down.
"I'm so sorry, Carlos, forgive me for making the decision without talking to you, it seems to me that this is a very rare opportunity and it could be an opportunity for us to open the doors of Silicon Valley.
Fools are the most popular among the founders, and only fools will not stop their recklessness, but are fools really stupid?
The fool just needs a door, just push open this door, take what we need in our hands, then next, we have to do what we have to do.
In order to get into the game, we had to make some sacrifices, or we would have to stand in the doorway forever. ”
"George, I know you appreciate Seattle [Amazon HQ] and the endless stream of things in Silicon Valley that can make a big difference in our lives.
It's just that I think you've forgotten the most important thing about investing, diversification, you can't put all the benefits into the = Internet, even if they will be successful in the future.
High-tech is not the only way, there are too many examples of failure, no one can guarantee that every company will bring you good profits, you need to look elsewhere, this is what a boss should do, he can't let his employees worry about not receiving the check he wrote to them tomorrow. ”
Carlos's words were merciless, which made George a little embarrassed when he was about to light a cigarette, he didn't think about this aspect of things, but every time he shifted the target, he always subconsciously refocused his scattered gaze and threw it to the place that impressed him the most.
Because he knows exactly what kind of business will bring him benefits and what kind of business will be born there.
It's just that Carlos doesn't know these things, James doesn't know, these supporters around him don't know.
Carlos's words let George know that he had to make a change, that the money printing machine didn't succeed in a day, and that the Rockets' stock price needed to be supported by long-term good news and plans to give investors a glimpse into the future.
Now that he has picked up a few companies that will allow him to reach the top in the future, he needs to plan for the present and the long term.
Eggs can't be put in one basket, this is a truth that everyone understands, but there are a few more that can be done.
"Well, Carlos, I have to admit that you are absolutely right, I can't take you to my path, I want you to see that our future is bright.
When you come back to the U.S., you and James come up with a plan, and we'll discuss it together.
The most important thing is that we need to return to the United States for the most wonderful holiday of our own, and your families are waiting for your return.
Now you have one more important job to do, deposit their remuneration and bonuses into their accounts, take them in the evening to sort them out, and we will fly back together tomorrow. ”
"You were a generous boss, and it was a great blessing to work under you, and I thought so to them, just ,,,,,"
Hearing George's words, a happy smile appeared on Carlos's face, what had they worked so hard for, wouldn't it be the green and lovable Franklin that was about to arrive.
Looking at Carlos who walked out of the office, George re-lit the cigarette in his mouth, facing Carlos's sincere persuasion, George had no reason to be stubborn, at first the money deposited in Credit Suisse was used partly, and then it was filled back in the profits of the Frankfurt and Paris stock markets, and the cash he was holding now was a bit too much.
Money has to flow, and if it doesn't flow, it will only continue to depreciate, and George won't let it happen, he needs to put them into all areas to create profits for him.
At first, the idea was to put all of them into the incubating and near-successful businesses in Silicon Valley, but Carlos's words let George know that he needed to re-plan.
As a boss, he can be stubborn a lot of times, but sometimes he also needs to listen to them, otherwise there will be a rift in the team that shouldn't exist.
