Chapter 175: Re-Entry
When Liu Chuanzhi saw the news, the world was already crazy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe direction of foreign media reports is the monopoly of future technology in China. The domestic media reports are relatively simple, nothing more than a sense of national honor and more hope for the future. Of course, some media were amazed that Li Yue was about to pay all kinds of messy 25% taxes. This is not a small amount, and the profit after deducting production costs needs to pay a full 12.5 billion US dollars in taxes, more than 100 billion yuan. That's more than the GDP of some smaller cities in an entire year.
Looking at the amount of taxes to be paid, Li Yue understands why so many companies have registered addresses in the Cayman Islands, from Country Garden and Shimao Real Estate in the real estate industry, to the sports brand Li Ning Anta, to Alibaba, Baidu, Tencent and other Internet giants, they do this to avoid taxes! Li Yue suddenly regretted putting the company's registered address in the capital. After that, you can save hundreds of billions of dollars in taxes every year!
Just when the tax department in Beijing was interviewed by the Beijing Evening News, Li Yue posted an inquiry-style article on Momo's official website.
"The registered address of the Celestial Empire chip is in the capital, and the production place is in the hometown of Hebei. Will my taxes be handed over to the capital or to my hometown in Hebei? As soon as Li Yue's post came out, netizens were in an uproar! It turns out that taxes can still be paid casually at both ends?
Li Yue's post was not really asking where to pay taxes, but expressed his dissatisfaction in another way. Now Li Yue is ready to package the company group and prepare to change the place of registration.
In the end, Li Yue still paid $12.5 billion in taxes in the capital. A day later, Liu Chuanzhi and all the other bigwigs made an appointment to meet Li Yue again.
"Mr. Li's current tax payment for a company can even be higher than the market value of all of us." Although Ding Lei's words were exaggerated, they also spoke the hearts of everyone.
"In the future, when people need to refinance, at least know where to find money?" Zhang Chaoyang said jokingly. Although this is a joke, all of us here have made their fortunes by relying on venture capital investment. This Li Yue has never sold a penny of shares, and now he actually has assets of tens of billions of dollars, and they are all cash. It's scary to think about!
"Don't make fun of me, let's talk about the company's events! I promised HP, DELL, and IBM that after supplying you with 5 million units, we will start supplying them with a total of 30 million units of hardware. You don't have to worry about the output, after the New Year, the output will increase dramatically. Have you negotiated the investment now? Li Yue asked with concern. This head has just taken a 30% stake, and it was supposed to be promised priority supply. But in turn, it sold for 54 billion dollars. He didn't want everyone to misunderstand, and he had to make the matter of production clear.
"To see if this is possible, you give us the chip you have first. We can do OEM first, and then we can have products on the market immediately after the new company is established. This will save us all a lot of time. Liu Chuanzhi gave a very suitable advice to everyone.
"It's a good idea, the price of the OEM should be calculated however it wants. When the new company is established, it is enough to make up an OEM contract. Wang Zhidong nodded and agreed to this plan.
"Your 30 million sets sold for $54 billion. The 5 million sets, everyone doesn't have that much money! Ma Yun asked realistically.
"Don't worry about this, after all, I also have 30% of the shares, I can deliver the goods first and then collect the money. As long as you don't owe me too long! Li Yue looked at everyone with a smile.
Can we understand that this is crying poverty? I seem to remember that only those who sell computers in Zhongguancun will speak in such a tone. I'm running a small business, these computers are all my net worth, you can owe it on credit first, and you must settle the bill for me next month! Robin Li laughed at Li Yue with his personal experience in Zhongguancun.
"Mr. Li can be so generous, I thank you in advance for replacing wine with tea!" Liu Chuanzhi took the initiative to pick up the teacup and salute Li Yue. Liu Chuanzhi is not surprised at all that Li Yue sold CPUs to others, after all, he is a businessman, and he seized the market before Intel and AMD reacted, which is also what a company CEO should do. It is very rare for Li Yue to provide 5 million sets for everyone first. Although he is said to have 30% of the shares for nothing, the company can't even afford to pay the money without him providing chips. After all, the three companies of DELL have already paid directly!
"Hurry up and decide! I don't have time to mess with you, I'm going to fly to Taipei tomorrow, I have ordered 10 million sets of hardware in Taipei, if you need it, I can transfer low-end motherboards and graphics cards to you, I just want high-end products. As for the foundry fee and the cost of no device, you can negotiate it yourself. Li Yue left a big topic for everyone.
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, but they don't speak. Everybody doesn't have much money in their hands. This batch of motherboards and graphics cards is worth a lot of money, and the new company obviously can't get it. Either go to Taipei to negotiate with them, or have to wait for Lenovo to owe OEM fees on credit. Of the two options, it is clear that the one that owes Lenovo on credit is more in everyone's interests.
Everyone knows that when Li Yue pulls everyone into the gang, it is almost equivalent to giving everyone money for nothing. But we don't have that much copper in our pockets. There is no foundry fee for the production of motherboards, memory, and graphics cards, not to mention the cost of producing chassis, mice, keyboards, and hard disks plus the purchase of monitors. All these fees add up, and even if you pay 20% upfront, it is worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
Li Yue will not help them invest a penny, and owing 5 million sets of hardware on credit is already a super gift. If these Chinese Internet bigwigs can't even handle this little thing, then they should be eliminated immediately.
Liu Chuanzhi is also very conflicted at this time, taking over Li Yue's Taipei order, they can get more CPUs, because if these motherboards are produced. Li Yue was going to sell them, and he couldn't put them in the warehouse to make dust. But if you don't take over this batch of orders, Lenovo can accept a large OEM order. Obviously, for those who have no money, many people want to accept the second plan. Everyone wants Lenovo to do OEM for free.
"Everyone hurriedly found a way to raise funds, and we bought the order in Mr. Li's hand. I would suggest that if each person is less than $50 million, everyone will no longer have to work together. The pie in the sky is for those who are prepared. If you're not ready, go back to your respective companies, and do whatever you want! Wang Zhidong looked at everyone and said sternly. Li Yuebai accounts for 30% of the shares, although everyone didn't say anything, it is estimated that they are a little bit small in their hearts. Li Yuebai has his own shares, and he owes 5 million sets of hardware on credit, which is much better than investing hundreds of millions of dollars. Not to mention anything else, even if you take this hardware and sell it, it will not only make hundreds of millions of dollars in profits. Looking at everyone's empty gloves and white wolf methods, Wang Zhidong directly denied the plan to let Lenovo OEM.
Ma Yun looked at everyone's expressions, thought for a while, looked at Li Yue and said, "Last time, Mr. Li wanted to invest in our Alibaba, I don't know if I am still interested in it." Of course, as Mr. Li expected, there are shares with management rights. Jack Ma has already negotiated with the company's management when he encountered this opportunity. Mr. Ma himself is not interested in investing in hardware, he is not the kind of person who wants to make small profits, and he is convinced that his Alibaba can one day become a mega-sized company. So this time he wants to invest, not really to check the pie in the sky. It's that he is now interested in Li Yue. Jack Ma remembers that last time Li Yue was very interested in his company, and now he has the money and resources, and if he wants to enter his own industry, then the company will soon be marginalized. Ma Yun is not afraid of those foreign online shopping websites, but he has a strong sense of defense against Li Yue. Since you don't want Li Yue to be your opponent, let him be your friend.
"I want to be the biggest shareholder!" Li Yue didn't think about it, looked at Ma Yun and said.
"Yes, we can give you the position of the majority shareholder." This is not just what Jack Ma meant, but the entire management meant. They used to look down on Li Yue, thinking that he didn't understand his own industry. But now, although it is not certain whether he will make any surprising moves in the online shopping industry, it is also a very good choice to have such a large partner.
"How much do you want to finance?" Li Yue asked directly in front of everyone.
"500 million dollars." Ma Yun stretched out his palm and gestured.
"Deal!" In just a few words, Alibaba, represented by Jack Ma, has the capital to invest in new companies. Although Ma Yun lost his position as the largest shareholder, he was not worried that Li Yue would lead the company astray!
Other people watched Li Yue easily become the largest shareholder of a company, and they were also very envious of how good it was to be rich! Although Li Yue became the largest shareholder of Alibaba, he did not become a shareholder with a full controlling stake of more than 51%, and Jack Ma and his team are the de facto controllers of Alibaba.
Baidu's Robin Li is also very envious, and he also wants to invest in new companies, but he has no money on hand now. Li Yue is already a 30% shareholder of the company, and it is nothing to sell a little equity to him. Anyway, Li Yue did not seek control in the company, and the shares with management rights were still in his hands.
"Mr. Li is already a shareholder of Baidu, but is there any interest in holding more now?" When he said this, Robin Li was a little embarrassed.
"Of course, when your company goes public, I will return many times over. This kind of good thing to give money, why don't I hold it? Li Yue understood that Robin Li had no money at this time, and if he wanted to invest in the company, he had to sell stocks.
"Last time, 30% of Mr. Li gave 20 million US dollars, this time... I'll give you another 50% of the shares! Gritting his teeth, Robin Li looked at Li Yue firmly and said.
"30% plus 50%, then Li Yue will be completely controlled?" Wang Zhidong didn't know about Baidu's equity structure, and asked puzzled.
"Ten percent of the shares I hold have ten times the voting rights. Even if I only own 10%, I can still control the company! Robin Li explained to everyone a little embarrassed.
"I see..."Wang Zhidong glanced at Robin Li meaningfully, when this small subsidiary was just founded, it designed such an equity structure, it seems that it is really not an ordinary person!
"I'll give you another 50 million! As a result, I have an 80% stake in the stock. "When Baidu went public in 2005, the issue price of $27 rose to $132 two days later. When the time comes, I will sell it little by little, which is several times the income!
After Li Yue finalized the two investments, he continued to look at everyone and said, "Who else wants to sell equity, sell it quickly!" I'm going to close the stall in a while, little brother! Li Yue said, feeling like a small vegetable vendor.
The rest, Sina, SOHU, and NetEase all have their own channels, and they don't need to sell their shares. However, Wang Zhidong still wants to cross-hold shares with Li Yue. But he estimated that Li Yue did not want to sell his company's equity! I didn't plan to bring it up to embarrass Li Yue!
