The next morning, Lei Juewen met Norman Ellitt in a coffee house. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Norman Ellitt is a 35-year-old middle-aged uncle, a native of New York, USA, a lawyer, who runs his own law firm.

Lei Juewen looked at Norman Alleyt and said, "Mr. Norman, since you contacted me, there must be good news for me, right?" ”

"There's good news and there's bad news."

Norman Ellitt said: "Mr. Ray, according to your request, we contacted Microsoft, Apple and relational software companies respectively, among which relational software companies are what you call Oracle, although I don't know why you call it Oracle, but its current name is relational software company. If you hadn't given me the name Larry Ellison, we wouldn't have found this company. ”

"So Oracle is now called a relational software company? I'm really sorry, but I've heard people talk about this company, and I've caused you trouble. ”

Lei Juewen smiled embarrassedly, he knew Oracle's achievements in the future, one of the world's top 500, but when the company changed its name to Oracle, he didn't know, but fortunately, Oracle's boss Larry Ellison knew about it, so he didn't miss Oracle.

"Nothing, that's what we're supposed to do."

Norman Ellitt waved his hand and said, "We visited Mr. Ellison and Mr. Robert and conveyed your request to take a stake in their company, and in principle they have agreed to your stake in their company and agree to sell 20% of the original shares, but they only need cash and no shares in other companies. ”

Lei Juewen nodded and asked, "There is no problem with cash transactions, I want to know how much they need me to contribute?" ”

"400 million dollars!" Norman Ellitt named a number.

Four million dollars is not worth mentioning at all in terms of the benefits generated by Oracle in the future, but Lei Juewen just nodded slightly and asked, "Mr. Norman, what do you think of this deal?" ”

Norman Ellitt laughed and said, "If it were me, of course I wouldn't have done it." We estimated that the relational software company, which is currently worth less than $10 million, offered a 20% stake for $4 million, which is a lion's mouth. ”

Lei Juewen smiled when he heard this, he didn't comment on Norman Ellitt's words, he only needed to know the current market value of Oracle, and asked at the moment: "Then I don't know what the situation is with the other two companies?" ”

"The next thing for you could be bad news."

Norman Ellitt said: "As for Apple, we met with President Steve Jobs, and he agreed to your request to buy shares, but in terms of price and specific shares, I am afraid that you will not be able to agree." ”

Lei Juewen asked with interest: "Is he also opening his mouth in the lion?" ”

Norman Ellitt shook his head and said, "If it were just a simple lion opening his mouth, I wouldn't say that." ”

"Tell me about it!" Lei Juewen motioned to Norman Alleyt to say that Apple's future value is needless to say, as long as it does not exceed his bottom line, he is willing to agree. If there is really no way, then he can only wait until Jobs leaves Apple and Apple's stock plummets, and then he can buy stocks.

Norman Elliett said: "After estimation, Apple's current market value should be around $40 million, and Mr. Jobs is willing to sell 10% of the original shares to you, but you need to pay $10 million, and you can't participate in the management of the company, you can only receive your due dividends every year." ”

Speaking of this, Norman Ellitt shook his head and said: "It is true that there are many people who are optimistic about Apple now, but the conditions offered by Mr. Jobs are too unacceptable, and it is somewhat unreasonable to have the corresponding shares but not the corresponding rights." ”

After listening to Norman Ellitt's words, Lei Juewen also felt that Jobs was black enough, 10% was only worth four million US dollars, but he wanted 10 million US dollars, which was not enough, he actually had shares but no rights, it was indeed black, but no matter how black his heart was, he couldn't imagine Apple's achievements in the future, so he would never suffer a loss in this deal.

Lei Juewen did not tell Norman Alleyt whether to make this deal, but said, "What does Microsoft say?" ”

Norman Ellitt didn't ask much and replied: "The situation on Microsoft's side is not very good, Mr. Gates is also willing to sell 10% of the original shares, but like Mr. Jobs, you can only enjoy the corresponding dividends, and you cannot participate in the day-to-day decision-making of the company." ”

Lei Juewen nodded and said: "Actually, I just want to make money, I'm from Hong Kong Island, just let me manage, I don't have the energy, tell me how many dollars he needs." ”

Norman Alleyt said: "Microsoft was originally favored by many people, but due to the company's recent setbacks, investors' attention to it has decreased a lot, but its performance is there after all, so the market value has not changed much, and it is still about 50 million US dollars." And Mr. Gates, you need to buy 10% of the shares for 10 million dollars. ”

Lei Juewen couldn't help but say: "This seems to be less than Apple's request, right?" ”

Norman Ellitt shook his head and said, "Apple is doing well at the moment, and I heard that it is still preparing to go public, but if it gets your capital injection, the listing may be postponed." Microsoft is different, it has just encountered a setback, and now it needs money, what the future will be, even God can not predict, so Mr. Gates's request is actually more difficult than Mr. Jobs. ”

Lei Juewen didn't think there was anything to be embarrassed about, but said thoughtfully: "Mr. Norman, if I want more shares in Microsoft, will Bill Gates choose to sell it?" ”

"Probably not!"

Norman Alley shook his head and said, "If he sells his shares again, it may pose a threat to him and Mr. Paul Allen's control of the company, and the two of them together will have less than 50% of the shares, and there is a possibility that someone else will control the company, which they do not allow." ”

"That's a shame!"

Lei Juewen has no regrets, he is not afraid of Bill Gates's opening of the lion, at most he will lose some now, and it is not that there is no chance to earn it back in the future, the more he loses now, the more he will earn in the future, but unfortunately this opportunity will not be missed, and there will be no such good opportunity in the future.
