894: Selling apples
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The follow-up reports of the media have contributed to the trouble.
Anything that touches Li Donglai really has the potential to make headlines. The continuous commercial investment is even more full of Li Donglai's tycoon spirit.
Clippers and Las Vegas casinos are both high-end and high-end investments. And the products he endorses are all international brands. Now even the Xiaomi company invested by Donglai Brother has also been stained with the light of the gods, and has become the most hotly discussed domestic mobile phone brand in China in a short period of time.
The attention to the heat will Huawei, Lenovo, Coolpad, Meizu, ZTE and other domestic mobile phone brands are all left behind, and even the news that Apple has just released a new 5S cannot withstand the domestic attention to Xiaomi.
Li Donglai entered the mobile phone market just after Jobs' death, what did he want to do?
This time, not only domestic attention, but even Apple's new CEO had to pay attention. China is one of Apple's important sales destinations, and the rise of a strong national brand is definitely not in Apple's interests. What's more, Li Donglai is also one of Apple's shareholders, holding millions of Apple shares.
However, Li Donglai's successive shots also aroused many people's doubts.
The Phantom has just announced its listing, and Li Donglai has also promised to maintain at least $3 billion in Phantom's assets and will not withdraw money. Coupled with the billion dollars to be invested in Las Vegas, and now it will cost another 500 million to acquire Xiaomi, let's ask, does Li Donglai have so much money?
The reporter's curiosity has infinite power, and Li Donglai was soon exposed. It was only then that people knew. It turned out that when he invested in Las Vegas Chinatown, he had already borrowed nearly $300 million from various banks. The purchase of a Las Vegas hotel only cost 500 million US dollars, and half of the 1 billion claimed to the outside world is used for later construction and renovation and casino operating capital, and Nevada has regulations that 100 million US dollars must be deposited in the casino every day.
However, the additional 500 million funds will not be used in a hurry.
This empty glove white wolf's method is somewhat familiar to the American people. Seeing the story of Las Vegas's "Chinatown" settling down, it is like seeing the legend of not spending a penny on the Clippers team in the first place.
Now people can be regarded as seeing the means of Donglai brother to grab money.
Although it cost $200 million this time, it turned out to be a billion-dollar business.
But even if you put aside the 500 million US dollars, all the value of Donglai Ge, on the premise of not drawing money from the Phantom, does he have so much money to buy millet, could it be another loan? However, when I asked the Chinese bank, which has the ability to lend hundreds of millions of dollars to Donglaige, there was no news of Donglaige's loan.
At this moment, some shareholders who paid attention to Apple's stock suddenly noticed that Apple's stock under the name of "Li Donglai", a major shareholder of Apple, was reducing its holdings.
This news immediately attracted the attention of many shareholders who followed the trend, is it time to sell Apple stocks?
However, at this time, the good news of Apple's stock made the vast majority of shareholders who followed Li Donglai's investment hesitate.
Since the launch of the 5S, Apple's stock price has been booming. From $363 to $640 in a few months, and then after a slight decline, the trend is growing again. Everyone didn't expect Apple to explode so mightily after Jobs' death, and the highest rate has risen to nearly $680.
This boom has also directly helped Apple surpass Mobil Oil, with total assets of more than $400 billion, becoming the world's most valuable company.
Nowadays, 5S sales are booming, and news about the next generation of Apple products also happens from time to time. Apple's popularity is skyrocketing, and even the president of the United States is a fan of Apple.
Wall Street experts generally predict that this craze will continue and Apple will rise.
But at this time, Li Donglai is selling Apple shares and transferring funds to China? What exactly is he going to do? Is he crazy, or is he in dire need of money?
Perhaps the latter is more responsible.
However, in view of the fact that Li Donglai had never missed a case before, the "Wall Street Journal" still opened a special column dedicated to analyzing the intention of Li Donglai's move.
"Is Apple's stock price more than the actual product value?" "Have you reached the top now?" "Could this be the beginning of Apple's big price cuts?" "Or did Li Donglai really want to withdraw his capital back to China, so he sold Apple shares in a big way?"
A comment and report made the shareholders panic, but there are not many people who really dare to retreat bravely in the face of interests.
Apple was also very nervous, and threw out several news in a row, "iPad-Air is about to be released, 5C is about to be released", etc., and the successive good news finally suppressed the turmoil in Apple stock caused by Li Donglai's large sell-off of stocks. And the release of this large-scale news also has the meaning of responding to Li Donglai's stock selling, which naturally caused a large number of reports.
There is too much news and too much miscellaneous, which affects the judgment of shareholders.
"Apple is now the number one in the world, this price is really too terrifying, will it rise again? Li Donglai made money from Apple, but it was a long-term investment that took several years, how could small retail investors be different? ”
Maybe it was just a hesitation that turned the stock market upside down.
Li Donglai's investment of up to $1 billion in stocks has finally sold off when the historic high price of $684 has been broken.
Recall that at the beginning, 320~370 bought 500 million US dollars in stocks, and 400~420 prices again bought 500 million US dollars. After several changes in the middle, they all bought low and sold high. So far, the average price of 684 has been sold, and the net profit before and after has nearly doubled.
In other words, it took him more than a year to complete the accumulation of one billion dollars again.
This kind of lucrative business, even if it takes a lot of time, will be done by anyone. I don't know how many celebrities were dumbfounded.
"Donnie, what do you think about Li Donglai selling Apple stock and increasing his assets by another billion dollars?"
"Billion, are you sure?" Donnie's eyes widened, "WO, the next time we meet, we must eat him for a month, the most expensive kind." ”
"Pete, I heard that B plans to work with the Phantom to make a new film together. Can you tell us about your plan? Li Donglai won again in business investment, have you ever thought about working with him in other fields, such as business investment? ”
Pete shrugged, "I can only tell you that the next movie will be very exciting, I will be the starring role, and Lee Dong-lai is the chief producer." This is the first cooperation between the two companies, and we both attach great importance to it, and the investment will not be less. As for other fields, ha, there are really few Hollywood who can do what he does, maybe I will learn from him next time. ”
The news that Li Donglai made a billion dollars on Apple has come out several times, which has also indirectly attracted the attention of countless previously unaware shareholders to Apple stocks.
"Apple is so hot now, maybe I can make a fortune too."
Under this kind of intensive reporting, Apple's stock rose instead of falling, soaring from an eye-popping $680 to a peak of $704 at the opening of the next day.
The media suddenly began to shift the limelight, and some sarcastic texts appeared. He said that Li Donglai "really wanted to transfer capital back to China", "he made a move too early", "the timing of this sell-off was very unwise", "it really violated his nickname of Wall Street's gold spotter", and so on.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and relying on the power of public opinion, it was never possible to hide the fact that the stock price was higher than the value of the product.
As soon as the frenzy of Apple's new product launches cooled down, the AAPL stock price immediately began to fall sharply.
"Ah, it's falling!"
"It's okay, maybe it will go up tomorrow."
But tomorrow, the stock fell sharply again. These Apple shareholders finally began to panic, and if they wanted to make a move, they had already been trapped, so they could only inquire about the situation everywhere. "What the hell is going on, why did it fall without warning?"
No one gave an answer, and it was only then that people remembered Li Donglai's decisive action again and couldn't help but be amazed.
Of course, that's all for later.
Li Donglai also got a good return after selling Apple stock.
Now he has a lot of money in his hands, and he doesn't need to go around asking for bank loans if he wants to do anything.
The most valuable thing is that all this money is cash!
With this huge amount of money in the palm of his hand, Li Donglai finally didn't have to be harsh, and he was a little more generous.
The establishment of the Meimei cinema line has also further accelerated the pace, and the development of star-rated cinemas in first-tier cities across the country has been accelerated.
As for Xiaomi, he also asked about the shares of 9 in the hands of the remaining idle shareholders. Some shareholders with foreign capital sold their shares to him at a high price to earn back investment profits.
After Li Donglai completed the acquisition, the shares in his hands have accumulated to 90 shares, and the remaining 10 are in the hands of the company's senior management. He didn't make another move, and bought all the other stocks. Not only will it not be acquired, but it will reduce the proportion of shares held in its hands at the right time and reward the indispensable meritorious heroes of the company.
Rao is now, Xiaomi employees also feel the benefits of the company's new boss.
Because their salaries have risen, when they go out on a blind date, the other party asks what kind of work they do. As soon as he said that he was working at Xiaomi Technology, he would immediately get this answer: "Oh, it's the company that Donglai Ge acquired?!" "Have you seen Li Donglai?" "It's so cool, wouldn't it be light to see big stars coming in and out in the future!"
This kind of question and answer has no real meaning, but it can go a long way in satisfying the vanity of employees.
……
After completing the complete acquisition of Xiaomi, Li Donglai will not be relaxed, but will do more things next.
Celebrities make investments, and in the eyes of domestic people, they have always been at the soy sauce level. Or simply accompanied by news such as "loss", "bankruptcy", "crazy work to pay off debts" and so on.
Li Donglai's investment can't get rid of this impression, but fortunately, his investment in the Clippers is quite successful. In less than a year, the Clippers have become the most valuable team in the NBA. This investment earned him a lot of points.
The investment in Qihoo directly established his nickname of "Wall Street's golden hand". Although it is an exaggeration, it can be regarded as getting rid of this inherent prejudiced view.
Now Las Vegas has not yet opened, and although the impact is invincible, it is impossible to talk about whether it will be a profit or a loss in the end. However, Xiaomi is more worthy of attention. (To be continued)
