Chapter 152 The counterattack of the three major portals
The United States has extremely strict control over foreign investment in the financial field, especially capital from countries in the socialist camp, and the post-Cold War mentality is not uncommon in the United States.
At least one point, Xiling is pure private capital, so that those who want to use national capital will cause national security to speak, and at the beginning of the year, the Thunderstorm Fund's financial empire plan was launched.
Participated in a 15% stake in Shenzhen Exhibition Bank, acquired Hong Kong Huashi Insurance, and acquired Silver Arrow, a well-known investment bank on Wall Street.
But this qiē was all operated by Yi Mingyao, who had already flown directly from London to New York a day earlier.
On Wall Street, Wang Bing is still a newcomer.
But Yu Jun is not, Blizzard, Bx America's cooperation with Goldman Sachs and IdgVc has made Wall Street know a little about him, and in the mouths of the bosses and senior managers of those funds and banks, he is called "mysterious China Yu".
Harbor 2oo landed smoothly at a small airport on the east side of New York, where he switched to a helicopter and flew directly to the top floor of Manhattan's 68-story Teplano Tower, where Ellison and his buddy Donald Brown. Teprang was waiting.
This civil helicopter, worth 8oo yuan and capable of sitting 6 people at the same time, is also an asset under Yu Jun's name.
The whizzing helicopter propeller stopped, and the tall and stout Donald, Ellison, and Yi Mingyao stood on the top floor waiting for Yu Jun. Donald, who has a net worth of billions of dollars, is extremely famous in New York, but he can't compare with Yu Jun and Ellison at all.
He is just an introducer on Wall Street, and Yu Jun is also interested in him, not because he has a daughter who can be compared to a supermodel, Ivanka? Teplan, but he is the president of Miss America, Miss Universe, Miss Young America and other large-scale beauty pageants, and he and nBc are about to set off a frenzy of new zuò.
If you want to build an all-media empire, you may have some opportunities to cooperate with this American real estate tycoon.
Ellison wouldn't introduce someone Yu Jun wasn't interested in.
"Hello!" Donald smiled and held Yu Jun's hand, his thick palm was very strong, as if he was looking at a junior.
Yu Jun didn't mind shaking it, and said to Ellison with a greeting: "Look, I know that a brown bear can look quite similar to a human." ”
Ellison was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and Donald couldn't help but laugh and shake his head. URL
"Can you go down? It's freezing on this rooftop. Yu Jun pulled the placket, and a gust of wind blowing on the roof of the 68-story building can make people's noses freeze red.
Sitting in Donald's office in the Teprang Building, I had long heard that this guy was very vulgar, but I didn't expect that there were some rich-to-rich-style decorations everywhere, and the floors were paved with gold, and they were all shining like a royal palace.
successively introduced Wang Bing and Chu Haowei to Donald, and when Xie Qing was introduced, Donald looked at him who was capable and strong, nodded slightly, as if to say that such a bodyguard is qualified.
"Silver Arrow does not have securities underwriting qualifications, but has a venture capital license, and does not want Goldman Sachs and IdgVc to make all this money, and the underwriting can be handed over to them, but it is required to have more than three institutional investors in the early stage, but it can be completed internally." Yu Jun tried a few rounds, and Ellison signaled that Donald could be trusted before he spoke.
Silver Arrow, Thunderstorm, and External Deepening can basically be completed internally, and the employee stock ownership plan has already been launched, and the employees of the four companies are generally willing to convert the original equity in Xiling into the equity of the four companies, and after all the qiē is completed, they can submit a listing application to the NASDAQ Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange.
Thunder Online has acquired Phoenix Satellite TV and TVB, which are listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, in other words, it already has two capital platforms, but it does not need to create another platform, and only needs to choose to inject assets in websites and online games into one of the platforms at the right time.
What's more, after the acquisition of Sina, NetEase, and Sohu is completed in the future, the assets will also be transferred to the name of Thunder Online, which is equivalent to owning the five major asset platforms, and there is really no need to go public.
The other three Xiling companies, plus the six selected companies invested by the Thunder Fund, will all choose to list in the United States or Hong Kong.
"If Goldman Sachs and IdgVc had been able to reduce their underwriting fees and give higher initial pricing, I would probably have chosen all nine companies to list on the Nasdaq and New York." Yu Jun smiled.
Small profits but quick turnover, the total underwriting expenses added up are not small.
He doesn't want to be the wronged boss of PetroChina and Sinopec, just the underwriting fees, over the years, Goldman Sachs and other investment banks have taken billions of dollars, but they are all the hard-earned money of the people of the whole country.
"Why don't you talk to the CEO of Goldman Sachs in person tomorrow?" Ellison laughed.
Henry? Paulson? Yu Jun laughed, this future US Treasury Secretary, but a big old fox, just with nine small companies with a combined financing amount of less than 1ooo billion yuan, he will be interested.
Is Paulson so idle?
Yu Jun pouted noncommittally and heard the door open, Ivanka in a black dress walked in, this girl has a golden thin waist and is quite tall, and she is wearing five-inch high heels, her face plate looks very good, and there are a few small freckles on her nose, fortunately, there are no spots elsewhere, the skin is smooth or not, it is difficult to judge when you don't touch it, the chest is not small, it may be squeezed, but at least the D cup is up, and a piece of snow-white * skin is exposed in front of the placket.
"Oh, Ivanka, we're down to business." Donald stood up and reached out to push his daughter out of the room.
Ivanka looked suspiciously at the several East Asian-faced men sitting inside, and wondered, when did her father have business with Asians?
"No, Donald, you can let Ivanka stay, she's studying at Georgetown University now, right?" Yu Jun stood up with a smile and raised the wine glass in his hand to signal.
Ellison held a wine glass to block the smile in his eyes, but saw through the wine glass that Wang Bing and Chu Haowei were also laughing.
"I'm afraid that's not right, right?" Donald frowned, he had a headache when he heard these things, can Ivanka listen? What if you want her to say it?
"It's okay." Yu Jun smiled and said, "Miss Teplano can be my side." ”
Now the veteran **** Donald finally knows what Yu Jun has in mind, but in fact, Yu Jun doesn't think much about it in his heart, this Ivanka? Miss Teplan, with Kirsten? Dunst is like, the object of his previous life, but if he really wants to talk about evil thoughts, he doesn't have any evil thoughts.
However, none of the people present thought so.
Ivanka gracefully walked up to Yu Jun and sat down, the well-fitting evening dress made her chest a little tight, and it looked bigger.
"Well, if you want to talk to Paulson, it's naturally very good," Yu Jun put down his glass and said, "If Goldman Sachs can't help it, Merrill Lynch and Da Mo are okay, and these nine companies must be listed within the year." Of course ......"
At this time, Wang Bing's mobile phone rang, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.
"Yes, yes, well, clear." After Wang Bing lowered the phone, he frowned and said, "A bad news, Sina threw out a poison pill plan." ”
Yu Jun's brows also furrowed, when Shanda acquired Sina, the famous poison pill plan made Shanda give up the acquisition, and he knew it well.
"How many Sina shares do we have now?"
What started as a simple meeting turned into an urgent consultation on the takeover scenario.
Ellison and Donald, who have organized many acquisitions, want to see how Yu Jun responds, and even Ivanka's eyes are wide open, she will be a business school in the future, and she will not let go of the opportunity to learn.
"Now we have a 33 percent stake in Sina, and if we want to implement the poison pill plan, we will have to support a lot of money to get a controlling stake, and maybe even never get it." Yi Mingyao frowned, "Sina will issue a large number of subscription warrants to shareholders with purchase rights of less than 1o%, and they will receive new shares of the allotment plan at the price of O.oo1." ”
This is tantamount to giving shares to minority shareholders for free, and thinning the Sina shares in Xiling's hands.
Wang Bing's phone rang again.
"The shareholders' meetings of Sohu and NetEase have temporarily approved a plan prepared before the listing, and their founder shareholders will have the right to veto in the resolutions of the shareholders' meeting and the board of directors." Wang Bing's face sank unusually suddenly.
The acquisition of the three major portals to give Xiling an absolute right to speak on the Internet was a policy put forward at last year's year-end summary meeting, but it was still not well considered, and I didn't expect these websites to fight back so violently.
It was less than 24 hours since Thunder Online filed its equity report with the Nasdaq exchange.
"The poison pill program is generally used in the United States to raise the purchase price, and as far as I see the website called Sina, I am afraid that it is not just as simple as wanting to increase the purchase price." Ellison said.
"Hello?"
This time, it was Yu Jun who received a call from Wei Jing.
"Sina, NetEase, and Sohu are slogans of Internet freedom, and they voted on the page against being acquired by Thunder Online."
Yu Jun scolded in his heart, these ***, when they were asked to cooperate by the propaganda department, they didn't see what freedom they mentioned, they would all be flattering goods for glory.
"I remember, Paris showed me a picture of the two of you together."
Ivanka, who had been silent for a long time, said suddenly, her eyes still rolling slyly.
"Dear Miss Teplan, I don't want to explain the innocent relationship between me and Paris, and now my head is full of numbers and tangled things." Yu Jun smiled bitterly.
"Oh, maybe I can help you think about it?" Ivanka said with a sweet smile.
The whole room was stunned, and there was nothing anyone could do to deal with the counterattack of these three websites.
