Chapter 958: A New Pattern
In addition to buying real estate around the world, Hong Tao has also selected several companies as follow-up investment targets, starting with Microsoft, Intel, AOL, Cisco and Dell, whose glory will continue, and the investment has a lot of room for profit, at least not to shrink his assets. The second is Motorola, Nokia, and Sony, three companies that grew rapidly in the 90s, and Hong Tao can be sure that they are profitable. Finally, there is an internet e-book company called Amazon.
Amazon is the later generation of e-commerce giant Amazon, this company is not very clear in Hong Tao's memory, he only knows that the company's founder is called Jeff Bezos (Jeff Bezos), as for what year and month it was established, what year and month it was listed, there is no place to look up, in Hong Tao's plan originally belonged to the category of abandonment.
But this piece of fat was actually delivered to the door by itself, just when Hong Tao had just fled Argentina, he suddenly received a call from Yulia, saying that there was a small company called Cadabra that wanted Crystal Orchid Capital to inject capital into it and expand the company's business scope, from operating online books to e-commerce, and the founder of this company was named Jeff Bezos.
At that time, Hong Tao was not sure whether this Bezos was the Bezos of the Amazon in his previous life, and he couldn't be sure, he didn't know what the Bezos looked like in his previous life, and he didn't know what other characteristics he had. However, in terms of the name Bezos and the two characteristics of running an online bookstore, Hong Tao feels that it is worth $4 million, because his request for capital injection into Crystal Orchid Capital is only 4 million.
Until the sailboat arrived in New York. He saw Bezos's copywriting and development plan for the new company. When he saw that familiar word, he was immediately sure. This Bezos is the Bezos of the previous life, and at this time it has been injected by Crystal Orchid Capital. The original online bookstore called Cadabra has become Amazon, and Crystal Orchid Capital has a 28% stake in the newly formed company.
"As long as this company needs to be capitalized, we must be the first, and preferably the only one! If the shareholders of this company want to sell their shares, we will eat them all. If he wants to go public, we will fully cooperate, but don't rush him, don't interfere with him, we just provide everything when he needs it. This was Hong Tao's instruction to Ah Shan at that time, because he really couldn't remember the development trajectory of Amazon in his previous life, so he couldn't manipulate Amazon like Netscape and Yahoo. For fear that it will affect its normal development because of his excessive intervention, this time he will use another way to make money, which is stocking!
Ah Shan has 100% carried out Hong Tao's order, and has invested more than 60 million US dollars in Amazon since July 95, and has also obtained 60% of the company's shares. However, not all of these shares are held by Crystal Orchid Capital, they are scattered in the hands of 4 companies, Aigo, F&A and Tianwen, each of which is about 15%, just not to be the largest shareholder.
After Han Yan's investment company was officially established. There will also be a share swap with these four companies, so that each company will hold fewer shares, let alone participate in management, and even the board of directors will send only one representative to participate. With ears and no mouth, he will raise his hand in agreement with whatever he says! For Hong Tao, this is an idle move. Put it there and let it develop slowly, and make better money. It doesn't matter if you lose it.
As a Chinese, I made so much money abroad. No matter how Hong Tao has an opinion on the domestic investment environment, he still has to take care of the face-saving matter, and he can't let foreigners say anything cool. As for how to invest and what industry to invest in, Hong Tao has not yet thought about it, he has to drag on in Hong Kong for half a month and then return to China, because how to invest, how much to invest, and it depends on the results of Yahoo's listing.
In Hong Tao's plan, there is obviously a loophole, and that is Tan Jing's problem. Yulia, Han Yan, Han Xue, and the three of them, together with Ah Shan, Lada, Tang Weidong and Ouyang Qing, are in charge of almost all of Hong Tao's investment shares.
Of course not, Hong Tao gave her a more important role, fully responsible for another large part of her own industry, industry! Hong Tao did not start by investment, his first pot of gold after going abroad was earned by Aigo's mouse. Moreover, Hong Tao still holds the patents and products of USB flash drive, I disk and webcam in his hand, as long as the USB bus standard motherboard is listed, his three long-hidden killers can also be put into production.
Although it is more troublesome for Hong Tao to do business than to play venture capital, and the profit space is small, there is no reasonable industry standing in front, and it seems that the operation of capital alone is not complete. Besides, Aigo's brand benefits have come out, and it has its own complete network of suppliers, distributors, and authorized manufacturers, and it would be a waste not to use it.
Hong Tao handed over the industrial part, including the real room, to Tan Jing. In the days to come, Tan Jing and Wang Yonghong will be in charge of everything for Aigo, and he intends to develop this small mouse company into a large multinational company with offices and even branches in every major country on all continents. If you need to build your own factory, you can build it yourself, and if you need to build a joint venture with the local government, you can build a joint venture, through guò In this way, Hong Tao wants to spread his influence to the world, and if he wants to travel around the world in the future, he doesn't have to say hello in advance to see other people's faces wherever he goes. At that time, you only need to say hello to Tan Jing and ask her to arrange for the local company employees to receive her, and you can't say that you can walk sideways everywhere, at least in terms of safety and comfort.
Moreover, Hong Tao has a more far-reaching plan, he wants to install his own people all over the world! Yes, that's right, it's his own people! That is, Gao Jianhui received from the health care product factory those people who have been screened several times and have a certain degree of loyalty to him. They have received their favors, both personally and familously, and they have continued to do so until now, and most of them and their families have recognized themselves sufficiently. Hong Tao plans to disperse them to offices and branches around the world to become special employees, in the name of employees, but without having to work, just get acquainted with local people, make local friends and officials. Once you need them, working with a local lawyer should be much more effective than finding a guide or something temporarily.
Hong Tao has been paying attention to them in the past few years, and through Guò Roman's channel, it has been sent to dozens of people in Canada in batches, and they are currently working in Heizi's construction company. The rest of the people have always been led by Gao Jianhui in China, and his classmate is also a character, no wonder he has always regarded Xiao Wu as an idol, he is really a bit like Xiao Wu's style, ruthless, and does not drag his feet. Hong Tao asked him to go to the industry of mixing property companies, and he really chose the right person.
The property company has now developed into a large company of more than 300 people, and there are basically shops and office buildings of this company on every commercial street in the capital, most of which are purchased by sole proprietorship, and a small number of them are joint ventures with others, with an annual income of more than 100 million. Although there is not much net profit yet, this company no longer needs Han Xue's constant blood transfusion. From the end of 94, Gao Jianhui extended his tentacles to Shanghai and Guangzhou, began to set up branches in these two cities to purchase real estate, and used the kinship of his subordinates in these two cities to gradually gain a firm foothold.
On the one hand, he hides himself very deeply, rarely showing up directly, but through a few of his more trusted subordinates to make one-line contacts. On the other hand, he is also extremely vicious and vicious, and he is best at dealing with business competition in unconventional ways. Those under his command who have been through prison life will also provide him with enough advice on how to torment people and how to hide themselves. This is no longer a wolf with a flock of sheep, but a tiger cub with a pack of experienced hungry wolves. His only drawback is that he has too little social experience, but with Hong Tao and Xiao Wu, two big backers, he still has enough time to further improve himself.
As time went on, fewer and fewer people stayed in Hong Kong with Mr. Hong, and by early April, the specialty suites on the top floor were mostly empty. Hong Tao and Han Xue live in one set, Singer and Nicole live in another, and the Hilton sisters live in one set, Hong Tao simply let the entourage of Han Xue who originally lived downstairs and his own private lawyer team also move to the top floor, anyway, he didn't plan to return the redundant big suite, it is better for everyone to live on the first floor, and it is convenient to say something.
The Hilton sisters and Nicole's appearance these days is very good, surprisingly good! Not only did they not make any trouble for Hong Tao in the hotel, but they also did not go out to help Hong Tao spend money in the mall all day, let alone run to those nightclubs. Every day, the three of them honestly follow Singh to be Hong Tao's secretary, serve everyone tea, pour water and deliver food to everyone when Hong Tao is in a meeting, identify and report when someone plans to enter the top floor, and accompany Hong Tao to the gym, squash court, and swimming pool to relax when he is free.
Whether it's a more regular style, even the dress tends to be plain, everyone wears a very orthodox skirt, paints light makeup, and rarely swears. If Hong Tao hadn't allowed the three of them to wear high heels, they would have looked like senior white-collar workers in the office. (To be continued......)
