Chapter 111: Meeting Soros
The next day, Microsoft Vice President Jochim Camampin came to the Hilton with his secretary.
In the presidential suite, Li Feiteng and Ying Tiancheng read the contract together.
The $100 million dividend on the contract can be paid to Li Feiteng today, and the $80 million in shares is at $76, a total of 1,052,000 shares will be given to Li Feiteng.
This is actually a technology buyout contract, signing this contract, Li Feiteng has no relationship with Microsoft at all, and he will no longer have to provide new technical support to the Longteng system in the future, and Microsoft will continue to use the name of the Windows system in the future.
At the beginning, the Longteng system developed by Li Feiteng was actually a more advanced version than the Windows system, and Bill didn't understand that the country in the East could actually develop a more powerful PC system than Microsoft, and he was a little panicked, so he tied up Li Feiteng in the form of dividends to prevent Microsoft from having a strong opponent.
Now Microsoft has risen, and has completed the mastery of the core technology of the Windows system, although Li Feiteng also has some technology, but all his technology has been patented by Microsoft, belongs to Microsoft.
To put it simply, this process is that Li Feiteng took advantage of Microsoft's ambition to monopolize the PC and got a hush money from Microsoft, in fact, he didn't create a new system at all, but he was immersed in the computer field for decades in his previous life, and naturally he had a lot of open source code for Windows systems in his hands.
Li Feiteng knows very well that even if he has the ability to develop a domestic Windows system, he does not have a relevant patent, which is equivalent to provoking Microsoft to sue him for infringement.
As for the development of non-Windows systems, it is completely useless, because Windows systems have become mainstream.
Just kidding, spending a billion dollars to find tens of thousands of programmers to work together, at most half a year can completely master the source code of the Windows system, but it is useless to master it, other people's patents will always be someone else's, and mastering it is also to make money for others, it is better to study others.
However, in the future, Li Feiteng will not let Microsoft continue to dominate, he has many ways to defeat Microsoft, but this requires his lifelong hard work to complete the cause.
After the hush money contract was signed, Jochem Camuping went to Citibank with Li Feiteng and Ying Tiancheng, transferred $100 million to Ying Tiancheng's account, and the stock was temporarily placed in his name.
Of course, Li Feiteng and Ying Tiancheng also signed an agency agreement in advance, otherwise in the face of so much money, Ying Tiancheng would donate money and flee like Wang Lei in his previous life, and Li Feiteng would have no choice but to cry to death.
With the agreement, Ying Tiancheng dared to escape with the money, and Li Feiteng dared to send all his Yanjing's family members to prison and let the Interpol arrest him for the rest of his life.
One million and fifty-two thousand shares, Li Feiteng calculated, and when the stock rose to $120 in 2000, this would be worth a total of $126 million, and he would definitely sell it out and let Microsoft plummet.
At the door of the bank, Li Feiteng walked out with a smile, and he smiled at Ying Tiancheng: "A total of $226 million was pit Microsoft." ”
"Hehe!" Ying Tiancheng's head couldn't turn anymore, after he saw Bill yesterday, he felt that Li Feiteng was already a god-like figure, and he was no longer a god he could understand.
Ying Tiancheng now does not dare to doubt whether Li Feiteng can become the richest man in Asia, and he does not doubt whether he can become a billionaire.
In short, what Li Feiteng says now is full of famous sayings and aphorisms here in Ying Tiancheng, and they are all things that he must seriously ponder and comprehend.
Time is the most precious for the reborn, Li Feiteng was not proud of a little achievement, he hurriedly got into the Mercedes-Benz car, and went to Wall Street's quantum fund with Ying Tiancheng.
The predecessor of the Quantum Fund was the Double Eagle Fund, which was founded in 1969 by Soros and Rogers, with an initial capital of only $4 million.
In 1973, it was renamed the Soros Fund, and the capital had accumulated to $12 million, and in 1979, Soros changed the company's name to Quantum Corporation.
Li Feiteng is very aware of the history of the Quantum Fund, but the most important thing about the Quantum Fund is that its investors are all non-American foreign investors.
This means that the U.S. government cannot regulate the Quantum Fund, which is a hedge fund that is open to all investors around the world.
To put it simply, except for the Americans, whoever has money can join the Quantum Fund and let Soros make money for him!
……
Wall Street, the headquarters of the Quantum Fund, a high-rise building with dozens of floors, and there are many securities companies belonging to the Quantum Fund under the building.
On the eighteenth floor, in a spacious office, Soros and a dozen directors were in a meeting, and the secretary called to say that two Chinese had brought $100 million to join the Quantum Fund and had taken them upstairs.
"Hahaha, okay, take the two VIPs upstairs. Soros happily hung up the phone, and he explained to more than a dozen directors: "Gentlemen, we have new members, and they have brought $100 million in funds, they are Orientals!"
More than a dozen directors applauded happily, the Quantum Fund welcomes any non-American investor, and the capital of $100 million is also very high, and the current Quantum Fund only has $5 billion in funds.
"Alright, I'll go talk to the guest. Soros clapped his hands and walked out of the large office, where he also had a reception room dedicated to meeting and talking.
Here in the reception room, Li Feiteng and Ying Tiancheng just sat down, wearing a black suit, the white-haired Soros strode in, he warmly stretched out his hand and shook hands with Ying Tiancheng and smiled: "Welcome to Wall Street!"
Ying Tiancheng hurriedly stood up in fear, and he said in English: "Sir, this is my boss, and I am just a secretary." ”
"Oh, oh my God, such a young billionaire. Soros was taken aback, and he hurriedly shook hands with Li Feiteng with an apologetic face.
Li Feiteng smiled and nodded: "Mr. Soros, time is precious, let's get straight to the point, I wonder if your fund welcomes us to join?"
"Oh yes, I'll pour you a cup of coffee first, do you need it?" Soros nodded with a smile as he walked over to the coffee machine to make a coffee.
Ying Tiancheng hurriedly went up, and he helped Li Feiteng make a cup of coffee.
Soros drank coffee and walked to the opposite side and sat down, he looked at Li Feiteng and smiled: "Both of them are non-American citizens, right?"
"Of course!" Li Feiteng took a sip of coffee, the taste was very bitter and not good, he quickly put it down.
"Yes, we have two ways to hold funds in escrow, one is short-term stock investment, and the other is long-term investment, either way, we only guarantee a 5% return. Soros laughed.
Li Feiteng's eyebrows furrowed when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "I'm not satisfied with these two custody methods, I don't know if the quantum fund can help me short all the 100 million won?"
Soros's eyes widened, and he stared at Li Feiteng with some horror, this young man actually guessed the next step of the Quantum Fund at once, yes, they are already attacking Xiangjiang, and the matter of sniping South Korea has been decided after the meeting just now.
Soros rubbed his eyes, and he smiled: "We can help you short the Korean won, but we don't guarantee that your funds will not be lost, which means that you are at great risk, you may lose all your money, or you may make a lot of money." ”
"I know very well, I don't know how much your fund will withdraw if you are short $100 million?" Li Feiteng knows very well that Soros will make money next, and he only cares about how much the quantum fund will take.
"Well, that's the case, how much leverage do you want to short?" Soros asked with squinted eyes.
"Can you do it with $5 billion?" asked Li Feiteng tentatively, he remembered that in his previous life, the Korean won fell by 10%, the Korean stock market fell by 20%, and he shorted $6 billion, and Li Feiteng could earn 300 million or 400 million US dollars back.
"$10 billion is fine. Soros took a deep breath, he smiled, reached out to pick up the phone, called the secretary, and asked the secretary to bring the contract.
10 billion US dollars, although Li Feiteng was a little moved, but he knew very well that Soros would not help him leverage so much at all, otherwise he would make all the money alone, and what would Soros's quantum fund earn.
$5 billion is still barely acceptable to Soros, and his plan is to short $15 billion in South Korea.
The secretary took the contract, and Soros handed the contract to the two and said: "If you want to short $5 billion, we will charge a handling fee of 2% of the 100 million funds, and if the profit is greater than the principal, we will charge a handling fee of 2% of the principal." ”
Li Feiteng nodded, this is within the range he can afford, which means that no matter how much money he makes, he will only charge a total of $4 million in handling fees.
Of course, if he loses money, Li Feiteng will bear it himself, and he will have to pay $2 million in handling fees to the Quantum Fund.
One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, Soros himself is not sure that he will succeed in sniping South Korea, and having collaborators to join can also increase his confidence.
It took more than three hours for the $100 million to be invested in the Quantum Fund.
Before saying goodbye, Li Feiteng held Soros's hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Soros, there is a sentence I have to remind you that the West is a free market, but Xiangjiang has returned, if you think that there is still a free market, you will not be witty!"
Li Feiteng's words shocked Soros, he suddenly realized something, and hurriedly checked the various numbers that reacted from the Xiangjiang trading market, Soros finally saw the clue, and he also decisively stopped shorting the futures in Xiangjiang, and then began to snipe the Korean won.
At the same time, Soros was also very angry and made some remarks in the media and newspapers, expressing doubts about the freedom of the Xiangjiang trading market, ridiculing the Xiangjiang government for doing its own market and secretly manipulating the market, which is not a free and fair market!
Li Feiteng has not yet returned to China, and after he saw the report on the news, he raised his middle finger at Soros, saying in his heart that this guy is really a thorough capitalist, and he really deserves to be the most profitable Jew in the world!
