"Mr. Lei, if you want to buy more shares in Microsoft, it is not without opportunities. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Norman Ellitt said with a smile that customers have needs, and they will only be paid more after completing their tasks.
Lei Juewen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked, "What do you say?" ā
Norman Alleyt said: "Mr. Gates, they are not going to sell their shares, but that doesn't mean that others are not willing to sell their shares, as long as the starting price is offered, I believe that some people will be willing to sell their shares." ā
Hearing this, Lei Juewen immediately said: "This will trouble Mr. Norman, as long as Mr. Norman can help me get more shares of Microsoft, the remuneration I give will definitely not disappoint Mr. Norman." Like Microsoft, I also need more shares in relational software and Apple, and I will pay more if Mr. Norman can get me more shares. ā
"It's our job and we're going to do our best."
Norman Alleyt made a guarantee, and then said: "But Mr. Ray, you have to be fully prepared with cash, these three companies want cash, and the market value of Microsoft and Apple is not low, and the acquisition will only be much higher than the market value, and it will not work without sufficient funds." ā
"You can rest assured that I came to the United States this time and brought a total of 80 million US dollars, as long as the value of the shares acquired by the three companies does not exceed this amount."
Lei Juewen revealed with a smile that this time he came to the United States, but he borrowed money from HSBC with the shares of Cheung Kong Industrial, because of the relationship of 400 million Hong Kong dollars required for a short loan of 80 million US dollars, he agreed with Shen Congee that if he did not use the money this time and returned it, he would have to sell the shares of Cheung Kong to the other party within three years, and it would be sold at the market value at that time. If all the $80 million is spent, he can sell his shares or not, as long as he remembers to owe him a favor.
In fact, if all the 80 million US dollars are used, Lei Juewen even doesn't want to sell his shares, because the amount of bank loans that need to be repaid every month is too high, and he can't last long.
It is indeed a pity that the shares of Cheung Kong are sold, because in the future, Cheung Kong will only increase in value, but if it is compared with Microsoft, Oracle, and Apple, it is nothing at all. Not to mention more, in terms of the shares that can be acquired now, as long as he has shares in hand, he Lei Juewen's other industries will be bankrupt, and he can still live a prosperous life, and he will still be a billionaire in the future, and it will be in dollars. Therefore, this transaction is only profitable, not losing.
Norman Elliott knew what he was saying, "Mr. Ray, in that case, you have decided to acquire the shares of these three companies that you are willing to sell at the same time?" ā
"Of course!" Lei Juewen nodded with a smile, he has no reason not to acquire, maybe in the eyes of others, he is a big wrongdoer, but after these three companies develop, he will only become the envy of others, and no one will think that he is wronged.
Norman Ellitt laughed even more when he heard this, and only if the customer was willing to initiate the acquisition, they could only get paid more, otherwise they would not make much money just by investigating something.
Lei Juewen said: "I want to acquire the shares that can be obtained now, how long will it take?" ā
Norman Ellitt said: "If you don't have a problem with the demands of the three companies, you can always go and deal with them, and if you give us the business you acquire, we can guarantee you that we will definitely be able to keep the price down and you will save a lot of dollars." ā
"No need, let's complete the deal right away!"
Lei Juewen waved his hand and refused, he didn't want to have an accident because of a little money, in that case, he would pick up the sesame seeds and lose the watermelon.
Seeing Lei Juewen say this, although Norman Alleyt felt that his employer was not a business material, and it was too wasteful to spend money, the money was not his, so he didn't persuade much, and directly nodded and agreed.
When the two left the coffee house, Norman Elliott booked a plane ticket, and the two headed to Silicon Valley. Oracle and Apple are both in Silicon Valley, and there are two companies here, so naturally they came here first.
In the afternoon, when he came to Silicon Valley, when he just left the airport, Lei Juewen met Larry Ellison and Robert Miller, who came to greet them in person after learning that shareholders who were willing to pay a lot of money to buy their shares came to Silicon Valley. As for why Apple didn't come, it was Lei Juewen who didn't let Norman Alley inform him that Oracle had more shares, so he was naturally more concerned.
The three met under the introduction of Norman Ellitt and then went straight to the company.
The location of Oracle is not large, and it is a rented office building, with only one floor rented, and there are not many employees, adding up to less than 30.
Larry Ellison and Robert Miller were going to talk to the young-looking tycoon about the merits of their company and the future so that he wouldn't be too ruthless, but before they could say it, Norman Ellitt said that the young tycoon agreed to their request and was willing to buy a 20% stake for $4 million and not be involved in the day-to-day operations of the company.
When the two heard Norman Ellitt's words, they thought it was a joke, and when Lei Juewen gave a positive answer, the two were overjoyed, and without thinking about it, they asked people to prepare the contract, and then asked the lawyer to come, and the two parties completed the transaction under the witness of the lawyer.
Larry Ellison and Robert Miller are pleased with the deal, and with the $4 million, they can bring the software that the company is currently working on into a high-speed and faster way to achieve profitability. Lei Juewen is also very satisfied with this transaction, when Oracle soars into the sky in the future, he can become one of the super-rich people with this 20% of the shares, this is the original shares, as long as he has been holding it and not selling, he is super-rich.
Both parties were very satisfied with the transaction, and the atmosphere of conversation between them was naturally very good, Larry Ellison and Robert Miller warmly invited Lei Juewen to visit the company, and Lei Juewen did not refuse, and visited the company at the invitation of the two, and listened to the two talk about the company's most important research and development projects.
Of course, these two people didn't say the core content of the R&D project, they just said some prospects, Lei Juewen didn't mind, he didn't interfere in Oracle's operation anyway, as long as he waited to collect money in the future, everyone took what they needed.
Although Larry Ellison and Robert Miller were retained several times, Lei Juewen still said goodbye and left, because he still needed to go to Apple in the afternoon, and it would only be good for him to reach a deal with Jobs as soon as possible, after all, Apple was preparing to go public, and no one dared to guarantee that Jobs would suddenly reverse track and not sell his shares.
