Seeing Bill coming, Fitt was a little strange......

"Hello Uncle Buffett, long time no see. I came to visit you today. ”[. ZhuiXiaoShuo.]

Warren Buffett is about 30 years older than "Bill", but this uncle is called:

"Haha, Bill, tell me, is there something you need my help with?"

Warren Buffett has a good relationship with Bill, and in the previous expansion of Microsoft, Buffett's fund company also helped Microsoft a lot. Of course, Warren Buffett also gets a lot of benefits here. Whether it is a personal relationship or a business affair, the two have a very good relationship:

"None of them, it seems, can escape your eyes."

Bill sighed, then said, "I heard that you have a 10% stake in Fetio here:"

"Yes, Fetio has great growth and great potential. Although it has not yet exploded, I believe that in a few years, it will become the fourth largest instant messaging software in the world. I have a lot to expect from Fetio. So, when Fetio started to attract a lot of users, I started paying attention. Until, when Fetio needed funds, I was the first to find him. ”

With the development of the Internet, more and more places are only closely connected to the Internet.

For this reason, this Wall Street stock god, he he set his sights on the Internet. It's a pity that Tang Dynasty Company is too powerful, whether it is instant messaging, Internet websites, or antivirus, computer software market, there are Tang Dynasty Company figures.

Of course, if only Tang Dynasty Company has this part of the market. The problem is that these markets are not only developed by Tang Dynasty Company, but also firmly occupy these markets, and it is difficult for outsiders to enter them. This also goes down to other tech companies, which don't grow much at all: at most, they can only grow in their own countries.

For example, Facebook in the United States can only be popular in the United States. Although Warren Buffett has invested in Facebook, it seems that their development potential is not great recently, and Buffett no longer wants to continue investing. Until, when a device called fetio. After the software came out, Warren Buffett keenly felt that this software, in the future, he will likely become a world communication giant such as MSN, ICQ, and Tang Dynasty TT.

So he was the first to partner with Fetio to get a dozen percent of the shares. It's just that with the continuous financing of Fetio, his equity in the shares has dropped to 10%. But...... Even if it drops to 10%, his value has increased several times compared to the original.

Even, there is now a consortium that has publicly announced that if someone will sell Fetio's shares he is willing to buy it for ten times the price: unfortunately, before that, none of them were sold. Buffett, who is naturally smart, will not sell.

When it comes to Fetio, for a while, Warren Buffett is endless, talking about the future of Fetio software from time to time. It wasn't until Buffett saw Bill's embarrassment that he woke up, "I'm sorry, I almost forgot, MSN." It seems to be your Microsoft business. ”

"Well, Bill, come on, what are you doing here this time?"

Although Bill brought a lot of gifts, was it true that Bill came to visit Buffett if he had nothing to do?

"Would you believe me if I said that we at Microsoft have a stake in Fetio Wei?"

"30% Fetio shares?"

"No, no, it can't be."

Buffett shook his head, but he didn't want to believe it. You know, now Fetio's shares, no matter how big the price is, you really can't buy them. Because, no one knows what Fetio will become: moreover, this and the use of software for mobile market users has opened up the imagination of many investors.

For them, perhaps, in the future, Fetio may be able to develop this as a development and launch more such market software. Although, some investors can't imagine it...... What will Fetio develop after the Fetio software is developed? However, this does not lower their expectations of Fetio: they are only investors, they only need to invest, and the specific product aspects are all Fetio's business, and they have nothing to do with it.

"Of course, it can't be now, but we've already laid it out before."

Bill laughed.

When they see that their policy is invalid and they are no longer able to stop the number of Fetio users from going online. Bill knew that it seemed that another generation of instant messaging was about to rise. Moreover, this one is not just a simple instant messaging, he is also a real mobile phone.

In addition, this instant messaging software, because it is continuous with the mobile phone. Then, in the future, his recharge channels and his consumption methods will be much more convenient. When the time comes...... You don't even need to buy a card, just go to the telecom business hall to recharge the phone bill, then, you can spend it on the Internet. Moreover, if you deduct the fee, it will be deducted directly from your phone. This way of consumption is simply so cool. To this end, Bill's analysis of the fetio software, a and urgent acquisition psychology, instantaneously generated.

There are two aspects of this acquisition, one is that in the face of competition from Fetio, he needs to get rid of his rivals and is about to acquire:

The first one, seeing such a potential company, Bill also wants to acquire~

Two reasons determine Bill's actions.

"This is Morgan Stanley's equity transfer document, this is Japan's SoftBank, this is the Carlyle Group's ......"

The emergence of FETIO has been watched by too many people, so there are many people who have entered the investment industry. In order to convince Buffett, Bill took out five or six equity transfer documents at once. Although the equity of each share is very small, the sum of several shares is exactly 30%.

A 30% stake in any company is a huge resource. Even for Microsoft, Bill only owns 30% of the shares, and he is still a major shareholder: alas, Fetio now. The company has not yet gone public. Even if Bill owns 30 percent of the shares, he still doesn't control Fetio.

If it can absorb another 10%, then Microsoft can become a major shareholder of Fetio in a flash: it can even reconvene a shareholder meeting to sweep away the current management. However, this is just talking, in order to illustrate the status of the largest shareholder.

"What you mean is that you need 10% of my shares here to become the majority shareholder of FETIO."

"Yes, I don't know Mr. Buffett, can you give up this 10% of the shares?"

Seeing that Buffett guessed his intentions, Bill explained directly.

"Bill, you know, if it was another company, 10% of the shares, maybe, I would still be able to ...... Just ......"

For Fetio, Buffett really likes it too much, and he is really reluctant to ask him to give up his shares.

"I knew Fetio would be a supergiant in the future. But, you know, if we don't complete this holding, then, we at MSN will be hit hard. Even...... In the future Internet market, we at Microsoft will not have much say in the market. ”

Now Microsoft is just taking advantage of MSN. Promote online games, but suffer from the challenge of FETIO. Maybe...... Now MSN can continue to be chic for a year or two, but after a year or two, the market for MSN will be less and less. This is likely, probably, the beginning of another failure for Microsoft.

"Would you like to see a Microsoft company belonging to the United States be brought down by the Tang Dynasty Company?"

Microsoft Corporation, because of its monopoly on the world's operating system. Many times, he has become a symbol of the United States: and it is precisely because of this symbol that the U.S. government has tried so hard to protect Microsoft: but it is useless for the U.S. government to protect it. In the unlikely future, Tang Dynasty Company will take his operating system and lead countries around the world to launch a counteroffensive with their own operating systems. When the time comes, it will be the end of Microsoft.

"This ......"

Warren Buffett is an American, and to be honest, he also likes Microsoft. Seeing that Bill's expression was a little dashing, Buffett also sighed for a while. He could feel how painful it was for him to be the head of a company when he faced the end of the company. It's just that Buffett still shook his head, "Bill, you know, I'm just a businessman. ”

Yes, Warren Buffett is a man with a nose. Not to mention in this highly liberal United States...... Even in Zhonglu Kingdom, there are not many who will wronged himself for any national honor. Moreover, Buffett is a rational person, and he will not affect his investment plan because of personal feelings.

Obviously, Beal's performance didn't impress Buffett.

Seeing this, Bill knew that it seemed that it would be useless for him to talk about the relationship between the two before. However, before Bill came, he knew Buffett's personality and was ready to be rejected. Of course, you may ask, know why the rejection came. The answer is because Bill has a plan.

This is a small plan, which can make Buffett not have the slightest voice of refusal.

"So, Mr. Buffett, why don't we do an equity deal like this?"

"What deal?"

"Coca-Cola."

As everyone knows, Warren Buffett's biggest investment in one stock is Coca-Cola. Moreover, Buffett's biggest profit also comes from Coca-Cola. In 1988, Warren Buffett bought $593 million in Coca-Cola stock, and in 1989 he nearly doubled his holdings, increasing his total investment to $1.024 billion. In 1991, it appreciated to $3.743 billion, an increase of 2.66 times in two years, and even Warren Buffett was surprised.

In 1994, it continued to increase its holdings to a total investment of 1.3 billion US dollars......, and the total investment reached 1.3 billion US dollars, "and since then, the shareholding has been stable and unchanged. ”

At the end of 1997, Buffett's Coca-Cola stock market value rose to $13.3 billion...... "10 years to earn 10 times, just one stock for Buffett to earn $10 billion, this is Buffett's most legendary and successful stock investment case." ,

Until later, Buffett was more than just investing in Coca-Cola. After he successfully invested in "Coca-Cola", he held a large number of shares. To this end, Buffett also serves as a director of Coca-Cola. In recent years, many major events of Coca-Cola have Buffett's figure:

It is a pity that when Coca-Cola showed the myth before 2000, after 2000, he could not continue the myth. Pepsi, which came later, once surpassed Coca-Cola in market value over Coca-Cola: this also made many people in the market comment that the reason why Coca-Cola is difficult to continue its previous glory is related to Buffett's interference.

Such a voice, if it is just an external voice, Buffy will not care at all~ However, such a voice, which one is he from Coca-Cola...... For this reason, Buffett was a little depressed, and he even wanted to increase his stake in Coca-Cola as much as possible and become the largest shareholder of Coca-Cola, so as to suppress those voices.

It's just that Coca-Cola has developed to the present, although it does not have the glory of the past, but the stock price has been very stable in recent years, no matter whether the market falls or rises, his stock price is about $40. As a result, many investors still hold Coca-Cola stock. This also makes Buffett unable to increase his holdings too much, because he can't buy stocks at all if he increases his holdings too much.

"Coca-Cola?"

"I can come up with a $1 billion Coca-Cola stake in exchange with you for a 10% stake in FETTIO:"

$1 billion, 10%

If this is calculated, then Fetio, which has not yet been listed, has been rated by "Bill" as a high valuation of 10 billion market capitalization. In fact, Bill's valuation is not high, it is quite average. After the launch of Fetio, there have been media valuations of Fetio. These ratings are noisy, although Fetio has only recently been launched. But judging by his explosive user growth, FETIO can definitely become the world's fourth-largest instant messaging software in the next two years.

In terms of the global messaging software market capitalization, each

That's tens of billions of dollars. What's even more terrifying is the Tang Dynasty TT, at present, some people have valued the Tang Dynasty TT at 300 billion US dollars. If this is the case, Tang Dynasty Information may really become the largest company in the world. Although, this one valuation cannot be trusted. However, the market can estimate this market capitalization, which also indirectly proves the potential of FETIO:

"$1 billion."

Warren Buffett thinks.

At the beginning, Buffett invested only $200 million, and in a short period of time, he made 5 times as much as he changed hands. This kind of profit may be the fastest investment in the history of global investment. However, Buffett's expectations for Fetio are as simple as 5 times? If Bill only takes other stocks in exchange, or directly takes cash, Buffett really doesn't care anymore, but Bill takes "Coca-Cola" stock, which has to make Buffett pay attention.

For Coca-Cola stock, Buffett really needs it too much.

As a heavyweight Coca-Cola, every share of his stock has its super value: until now, through retail acquisitions, it has not been possible to collect much. Moreover, if you acquire in the secondary market, it will also arouse the vigilance of others, and when the major shareholders grab these chips together, they will not get any benefits.

Now there is $1 billion in chips that Bill has exchanged, although it is not much, but there is this $1 billion...... "Buffett can immediately change his current position at Coca-Cola." Even, he can use the stock share at this time to kick the gossip guy out of the board of directors.

"$1 billion is not much, and there are already people in the market who have offered to buy Fetio at a price that is twice as high as before. However, the current fetio company, he has not yet gone public. ”

If it is not listed, then, it is impossible for him to see the effect so quickly when he invests. Moreover, without listing, the company will also be at risk at any time. In case the market is finished, then the investment in this amount of money will be completely lost. But now, with such a great opportunity in front of you, not only will you be able to recoup your costs, but also, in just a few days, you will be able to make three times as much.

This has proven your ability to invest.

Moreover, Buffett needs Coca-Cola stock too much.

Bill knows that now Buffett, he is already moved. To add to his strength, Bill continued, "If Fetio isn't acquired by Microsoft, do you think he'll be able to survive forever?" You know, not to mention the competition with fetio company, MSN, and we Microsoft. Even if there are no of these two, there is a Tang Dynasty TT that is directly betting on this market behind the scenes", I believe that as long as the Tang Dynasty company is willing to sell, fetio company will definitely not have a survival market. The reason why Tang Dynasty has no performance is entirely because they believe that the emergence of fetio can hit our MSN and ICQ. Once the fetio company is strong, the first Tang Dynasty company to be destroyed is the fetio company. ”

Although Bill is not as strong as Warren Buffett's investment, he is really one of the best figures in business operations.

"Of course, if we buy Fetio, then, with MSN's market, even if Tang Dynasty Company works hard, it will not be able to shake us by half a point."

Who said that MSN and ICQ have already cultivated countless loyal users, and it can even be said that as long as the earth is not destroyed, then MSN and ICQ, he can always exist.

Bill said a lot, and Buffett listened to it all the time. It wasn't until the end that Buffett finally stretched out his right hand and shook it with Bill, "Okay, we're going to be friends." ”

In this way, among the handshakes between the two giants, the newly established fetio company has changed hands. It was Microsoft that took over.
