Chapter 3: The First Pot of Gold

As June approaches, the World Cup in Mexico is about to begin. This World Cup was originally scheduled to be hosted by Colombia, but because Colombia suffered an economic crisis and could not afford to host the World Cup, it voluntarily gave up, and Mexico became the host. A few months before the start of the World Cup, a devastating earthquake struck Mexico, killing more than 20,000 people, but fortunately the World Cup in Mexico was finally able to take place.

Tang Bao also found the best opportunity to make a fortune!

The spinach industry in Europe and the United States is very developed, and the spinach revenue of each World Cup is tens of billions of dollars. Tang Bao still vaguely remembers the direction of the Mexico World Cup, and has already secretly planned to rely on spinach to dig out the first pot of gold in his life, and playing slot machines is just to raise the capital of spinach.

The process of the game, Tang Bao is not very clear. However, he clearly remembers the quarter-finals, with Argentina as the champion, West Germany as the runner-up, France as the third-place finisher, Belgium as fourth, followed by Brazil, Mexico, Spain and England. The best player is Maradona and the top scorer is England's Lineker.

"Hey, this is going to have to be a hard scrape from the spinach company." Tang Bao said secretly.

This World Cup.

The unanimously optimistic team in the whole public opinion must be produced between France, West Germany and England, and the French team, which just won the European Championship two years ago, is considered the biggest favorite to win the championship with its luxurious and powerful lineup. No one would have thought of the champion South Americans. As for the top scorers, the top scorers are naturally Platini and Maradona in their prime, while Lineker is only in sixth place.

Bets close one hour before the start of the opening game on May 31.

Dozens of spinach companies in Europe and the United States accept bets, and the odds are pretty much the same. Because of confidentiality, Tang Bao plans to spread the money into the handicap of various spinach companies, on the one hand, he can distract his attention when he wins the lottery, and on the other hand, he is afraid that a single spinach company will not be able to afford to lose or repay the debt.

For this.

Tang Bao prepared a few days in advance, and lied to Aunt Qing that she was going to watch the World Cup with her classmates, and she didn't go home recently, and Aunt Qing was also busy, so she agreed with a few words.

First of all.

Tang Bao bought a package of tickets for the top eight list, the champion and runner-up rankings, and the top scorers in tandem for 10,000 dollars in three large spinach companies in the United States, with an astonishing odds of more than 5,800 times. Then Tang Bao secretly went to several betting stations in the United Kingdom to buy a set of tickets, 60,000 US dollars all bets, European and American spinach companies generally believe that the top three were born in France, West Germany and England, so Tang Bao's set of ticket odds is outrageously high, close to 10,000 times.

……

A month flies by in the blink of an eye.

When countless fans were still immersed in the carnival of the World Cup, Tang Bao himself was secretly cool.

Tang Bao invested $20,000 in three spinach companies in the United Kingdom, earned $650 million, and still had $570 million after paying 12% of the tax. Although there were three consecutive jackpots in the UK, causing a lot of exclamations, it was not a sensation. Betting in the U.S., after deducting taxes, only $80 million was paid. I have to say that the taxes in the United States are really ruthless, no wonder many rich people in later generations want to emigrate and evade taxes.

Get this sky-high amount of money and deposit it directly into the account of a Swiss bank.

Tang Bao returned to New York and lived a leisurely student life again. With this sum of money, even if Tang Bao doesn't do anything in his life, it is enough to keep the money in the bank and eat interest for a lifetime, but how can Tang Bao be willing to be a rich man. Keeping money in the bank is the biggest waste, and investment is king.

Microsoft is the target of Tang Bao's investment.

In March 1986, Microsoft had just completed its initial public offering (IPO), and its stock price had soared, and its current market value was more than $1 billion, and no one would have imagined that the company would grow into a supergiant with a market value of more than $600 billion. So Tang Bao should seize this opportunity.

For this.

Tang Bao entrusted Citibank, a well-known investment bank on Wall Street, to acquire shares of Microsoft for him.

"Don, Microsoft stock is very sought-after in the market today, and the price has soared, and a large-scale acquisition may cause the stock price to skyrocket. I suggest that you can buy stocks slowly to save costs; In addition, you can negotiate with other Microsoft shareholders to acquire shares at a premium! Miller smiled and suggested that in the face of a big customer like Tang Bao, Miller, the manager, was also very careful, and showed 12 points of sincerity to provide the best service.

"Yes, yes. The purchase price can be acquired at a premium of 50% according to the average stock price of the previous 30 trading days, as many as you want, and the outstanding shares can also be acquired as much as possible. ”

Now.

Most of Microsoft's shares are in the hands of Bill and Allen, but unfortunately, just after the completion of the IPO financing, I am afraid it will be difficult for Bill to sell the shares.

This is also the reason why Tang Bao entrusted Citi to purchase Microsoft shares, which is of course the reason why he cannot run the New York Stock Exchange every day, but more because at this stage, to acquire a large number of Microsoft shares, not only financial resources, but also may also need network resources.

Sometimes.

Even if you have money, you can't buy something.

"Help me open an account, and the money for the acquisition of Microsoft shares can be deducted from it." Tang Bao said with a smile.

"Okay, okay."

Miller hurriedly responded, leading Tang Bao to the VIP room, for a person who dared to come to the door to entrust them to buy a company's shares, Miller had no doubt about the strength of the other party, in the face of Tang Bao, he tried to maintain a humble and respectful attitude at all times.

Soon.

Miller opened a VIP account for Tang Bao, and Tang Bao transferred $100 million over the phone to Citibank's VIP account.

$100 million arrived.

Miller also saw it, still maintaining a humble smile on his face, but he was shocked in his heart, but he didn't expect Tang Bao to transfer $100 million with a phone call. And he also knew that the money was transferred from a Swiss bank, which meant that the other party had more cash in the Swiss bank's account.

Big customer.

Miller is secretly determined to seize Tang Bao, a big customer!

How to capture the hearts and minds of customers? Naturally, it is service, and only when the customer feels that they can get satisfactory service from you, the other party will finally choose you. Therefore, Citibank must do a good job of entrusting the acquisition of Microsoft shares and not let down the trust of the other party.

After Tang Bao left.

Miller immediately gathered a few profiteering cadres and formed a special team to be responsible for the acquisition of Microsoft shares, although Tang Bao gave a lot of room for a premium, but Citi needed to think about the interests of customers and save the acquisition costs. Then he went to Microsoft to contact Bill in person......
