Chapter 454: Negotiation (2)
"In addition to Warcraft Films, do you think Blizzard Capital can enter the financing link, and Watch Venture Capital can become a public investment company like Berkshire Hathaway?"
Roland repeated Henry Paulson's words, and he thought the bald head was laughing!
"It's not! Is this the result of your research? Roland shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands and said: "If it is the result of careful research, then you should know that whether it is Warcraft Film and Television, Blizzard Capital, or Overwatch Venture Capital, there is actually no shortage of money."
Warcraft Film and Television's stock pledge refinancing strategy has passed the most difficult repayment period.
When "X-Men", "Harry Potter" and "The Lord of the Rings" were successful one after another, the pledge loan that Warcraft Film and Television should repay was already there. In addition, the raised public funds can also be redeemed with corresponding income, if it weren't for the embarrassing stuck here in "House of Cards", would you still have the idea of investing?
And even if they're stuck here, it doesn't matter!
Because I still have the right to quit!
Don't say anything shale oil!
When I came to New York and met Ronald, I had already done what George wanted me to do!
And when I agreed to Ronald's invitation to meet with you, what was the end result?
It's none of my business anymore!
George: They won't blame me for the failure of the matter, because they still need Sony to take the blame for themselves! ”
When Roland put the stakes on the table, the bald head sitting across from him immediately laughed.
He wasn't laughing at Roland's irritability, but he thought that the guy who had a temper temper at the beginning was really good at acting.
What kind of person is Roland?
They all know it.
Because when Roland's own wealth was inflated wildly, all the information about him was placed on the table of major capitals.
His style of life, his attitude, his trading habits, his hobbies......
As long as it is something that can be analyzed, everyone has dismantled it.
And in the face of the shocking fact that Microsoft is tolerant of Microsoft's acquisition of Yahoo and is willing to help one or two, no capital will think that Roland will be provoked by the predatory ideas proposed by either side.
After all, hundreds of billions of companies can be given up, how can the game of tens of billions of assets be emotional?
So, after discovering that Roland had a picky posture, Henry Paulson immediately opened the drawer next to him.
"Do you need a cigarette or a cigar? If it's smoke...... Camel, Lottery, Marlboro, 555 all have ......"
As he spoke, he pulled out the packets of cigarettes that had not been opened, and then pulled open the right drawer with his backhand.
"If it's a cigar, Fuente, Partagas, Upman...... I can also provide ...... these."
“……”
The way of cold treatment made Roland, who was emotionally exploding, hit the cotton in a circle.
After seeing that the bald head didn't fight with himself at all, Roland, who understood that this guy was not in the trap, chose to continue.
But when he spoke again, his previous emotions had been swept away, "As for Blizzard Capital, it's actually simpler."
It is already profitable on a large scale, and it does not need financing at all.
And even if you really need financing......
Do you Goldman Sachs dare to invest?
If calculated according to EA's 30 times P/E ratio, their annual profits of more than 500 million are worth at least 15 billion.
Even if I don't raise the price, I'm willing to sell the shares at this valuation.
But you Goldman Sachs, how many partners have agreed to invest at this valuation?
Ten percent is 1.5 billion! Twenty percent is three billion!
Of course, this is a small amount of money for you, but ......
You're not like me.
I only need to be accountable to myself, and you are accountable to the shareholders.
As a public company, when you invest between $1.5 billion and $3 billion in a private company, what you need to do is not to shell out money, but to find a way to explain to shareholders how much profit the investment will bring you.
If you choose an industry, such as energy, minerals, manufacturing, etc., you may be able to convince shareholders with a statement, but what about the gaming industry...... Periodic development and sales are simply untenable! ”
The clean words made Henry Paulson hear the rejection in Roland's words.
But even so, he didn't show any emotion, but smiled and opened a packet of good luck, picked up one and put it in his mouth.
With a crisp sound, his cheeks also contracted, and when the green smoke rose, he nodded and responded, "Indeed, if you really invest according to the valuation of 15 billion...... Shareholders may kick us out of the company. ”
“……”
The fluttering affirmation made Roland hook the corners of his mouth.
At one point, Roland really hated this bald head.
Because he's negotiating with Roland!
In the past, when Roland cooperated with others, it was an exchange of bayonets.
What do you want? What do I want? Everyone is an open and honest couple, and then weighs the pros and cons, and then you can determine the cooperation.
But now?
Henry Paulson's bald head doesn't eat hard and soft, and wants to fish in troubled waters!
When Roland said that whether Warcraft Film and Television accepts investment or not has nothing to do with shale oil, he directly changed the topic!
What does this mean?
Isn't it just trying to disrupt Roland's mentality and stumble on the shale oil project?
And when Luo Lanming said that Blizzard Capital didn't need financing at all, he even agreed!
What the hell is this?
Don't you want Roland to think that he is helping his relatives or not?
What's next?
As long as Roland's next argument can be directly refuted by him, then he can fight back from the roots!
Because it was he who first admitted Roland's correctness in the small project and occupied the commanding heights of logic!
As long as Roland is caught by him, then his counterattack is the truth!
Although this kind of nesting doll-style logic trap is impossible to change the overall situation of a thing.
Not only that, but this barbarism will also leave an image of nonsense in the hearts of opponents.
But image or interests, which is more important?
If you can snatch more from someone else's hands just by tearing up like a shrew, then ......
Those who don't take advantage of the advantages are stupid!
Therefore, when Roland found out that the old man was tricking himself, he changed his words, clasped his hands in his abdomen, and said with a smile: "But well, the situation of Shouwang Venture Capital and Blizzard Capital is different."
Because the latter is just a simple game company, a lot of profits come from the sale of games.
The former, on the other hand, is a symbol of power. ”
As soon as these words came out, Henry Paulson, who was still squinting and smoking, raised his eyebrows.
With one hand on the table, he blinked, as if he wanted to see the guy in front of him, but more like he smelled everything.
And while he made this move, Roland didn't suspect his thoughts, because he felt that when he finished speaking, this bald head could never continue to pretend to be dead-
"I believe that in addition to Goldman Sachs, there are many guys in this world who are staring at Watchman Ventures.
Because no one can resist the temptation of power.
Watch Venture Capital is different from investment companies like Ronald's McAndrews and Forbes, whether it is the cosmetics industry with a market value of tens of billions, or the gambling industry with the same weight, or the financial industry that dominates the economy, these fields actually have no potential to be tapped, but the emerging Internet technology is full of infinite possibilities.
I don't know if you've read "The Road to the Future" written by William, that is, Bill Gates?
In the book, he has already depicted the grand scene of the Internet technology era.
He thinks that in the future, when people need to use money, they don't need to take out paper money from their wallets as they do now, because computer wallets can help you get everything anytime and anywhere, and now-
We have PayPal for easy payment;
He thinks that in the future, when people need to buy the same item, they don't need to listen to the chatter of the salesperson in the mall as they do now, because the buyer reviews on the Internet can allow people to receive first-hand feedback, and now-
We have Amazon, an online shopping platform;
He feels that in the future, there will be a new model of music sales, users will not have a headache and trouble with the wear and tear of discs and tapes, and the music of the future will be stored on a server for users to download through the Internet, and now-
We already have iTunes and a companion iPod;
He felt that in the future, when people wanted to find a certain piece of human knowledge, an important introduction to historical and contemporary figures, and a detailed account of various events, they would no longer need to look through the Encyclopedia Britannica.
We already have Google, which has hundreds of millions of entries;
Internet technology is actually a very large and complex market, and the convenience that belongs to it can accelerate all industries such as finance, shopping, entertainment, etc., and now, which is the most powerful company in the entire industry?
Is it Microsoft, which has occupied the PC port, has an Internet entrance, and wants to make a smart home?
Is it Amazon, which can already pose a threat to offline stores and wants to become the Walmart on the Internet?
Is it Google, which has monopolized the search market?
Is it Apple trying to break through the entertainment industry?
Or PayPal, the largest financial services middleman on the market today?
In fact......
None of them are.
Because in the field of Internet technology, the most powerful company is Shouwang Venture Capital!
The former companies only control a single market, while the latter is a company that controls the market.
As the second largest shareholder of Amazon, Google, PayPal, and Apple's largest shareholder, just by voting, can make guidance on every decision of these companies, and when these markets are all under the orders of one company, even if they are not profitable now, the number of monopolies alone can make unlimited profits.
Like the bank Morgan in the bank at the beginning of the twentieth century.
Shouwang Ventures, that is the Internet of the Internet.
This huge cake can't be eaten by me alone, so ......
Although it is not short of funds like Warcraft Films and Blizzard Capital, I still welcome hot money to enter.
As for valuation......
Microsoft's goal is one trillion, and these companies add up to five trillion?
According to the shareholding ratio, the value of Shouwang Venture Capital is at least one trillion.
So, how about you give away as much as you can get?
For the sake of friends, I can still give you a discount, 100 billion and 10 percent! 190 billion 20 percent! 280 billion 30 percent! 370 billion 40 percent!
In a word......
The more you buy!
The cheaper! ”
"Ahem, ahem!"
When Roland turned into a TV salesman, seriously depicted the grand blueprint of Internet technology to Henry Paulson, and swore in a solemn tone, pushing the valuation of Overwatch Venture Capital to one trillion, the bald head who was smoking there almost choked to death!
"A trillion?"
Henry Paulson's eyes were full of tears, and he wanted to cry but wanted to laugh with a weirdness that ordinary people could not reach, "No...... Do you know how much GDP was in the United States last year?
Ten point five eight trillion!
When a country's GDP is only 10 trillion, do you think your watchman venture capital can be worth 1 trillion?
This, this, this is simply ......"
It seems that he doesn't know how to evaluate Roland's algorithm, but it is more like a cover after the negotiation trick has been exposed, Henry Paulson waves his hands and tries to organize the language, but after a while, he still calms down.
Directly extinguished the cigarette butt that had not been smoked, and the eyes that looked at Roland were also full of playfulness.
"Okay okay, it's my problem, I shouldn't have interrupted you, I apologize to you......"
Although the old man's tone was a little perfunctory......
Oh no!
He's just perfunctory.
Because he never felt like he was wrong!
But Roland didn't really care, because he also felt that it was natural to use frequent means for his own interests.
When Henry Paulson changed the topic on the issue of Warcraft Film and Television and nodded in agreement on the issue of Blizzard Capital, Roland already understood that these capitals had already made up their minds before they started and wanted to set foot on the Internet Technology Express Watchman Venture Capital that had been shaped by Roland.
Don't you want to?
I'll open a trillion, and you can pay for it if you want to!
Don't say anything it's not worth it!
Because these guys aren't buying a single company!
If it's just Apple, Amazon, Google, PayPal's shares, of course a trillion is whimsical!
But now, it's the monopoly of the whole industry!
The market value of the former is visible, but the latter cannot be valued!
Because no one can be sure whether Amazon can become the Walmart online!
Because no one can guarantee that Google will never be profitable!
Especially when Apple has relied on its monopoly to rekindle its vitality in the field of online music and portable media players, and quickly encroach on Sony's market, Henry Paulson, who is already aiming for a monopoly, cannot deny it!
————
If he said that Roland's $1 trillion valuation is whimsical, then why should they Goldman Sachs think about the offer?
Since you don't believe in this business to make money, why are you coming in?
If he agrees that Roland's $1 trillion valuation fits their calculations perfectly, then ......
Of course, Roland will sell the company very happily!
Even if the Shouwang venture capital is worth a trillion, it will be twenty years later, and now?
I was able to get 900 billion twenty years in advance, and I refused when I was crazy!
And even if Goldman Sachs can't come up with that much money, that's okay!
100 billion sells you 10 percent!
What a good business?
Just ask you to buy it or not?
Well? (→↗↘↗↘)
Of course, the reason why Roland gave a high offer was actually a disguised refusal.
His fundamental aim was to disrupt Henry Paulson's routine while telling the other party that he was not willing to sell.
And it was precisely because of this that after apologizing, the bald head also began to flip through the Chinese documents, and when he rummaged through the five booklets, he handed the selected one to Roland.
"I see what you mean, so you don't have to test this kind of thing."
"Uh-huh." While taking the document with a smile, Roland also shrugged his shoulders and said, "But I think you've already tested my bottom line, so there's no point in continuing or not, right?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Henry Paulson seemed to hear the funniest thing in the world, "The bottom line? No kidding. If your bottom line is not to sell, what's the difference between that and no bottom line? It's all over anyway! ”
“Wow!” The slightly joking remark made Roland giggle, "Are you joking with me?"
After seeing you again, I always thought that you should be a very silent, very serious person. ”
"Silence? Serious? That's for outsiders! Henry Paulson pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and denied, "And we, aren't we our own people?" If it were an outsider, when you offered Shouwang Venture Capital a trillion dollars, I would have said viciously - 'Hey boy! Hope you're smart! ’
'We don't have to buy your shares!' Because we can do it ourselves! ’
Goldman Sachs is one of the five major investment banks on Wall Street, and we have money and resources in our hands, so we can support an Amazon!" A Google! One PayPal! And when that happens, you'll be the one crying! ’”
Before Henry Paulson could finish speaking, Roland forcibly interrupted and continued, "But alas! Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, is David Shaw's man, and he helped design your Goldman Sachs quantitative analysis business.
Google's founders, Sergey Brin and Larry Page, have not escaped the racial monster either, and if you do anything to Google, you're flipping the table that has been balanced for hundreds of years......"
"Yes!" Now that Roland has said what he wants to say, Henry Paulson did not pretend anymore, but spread his hands directly: "Since you know that it is a temptation, why are you so radical just now?" ”
"Hey!" Roland thinks this guy is really black-hearted.
"Someone is trying to rob me of my assets, and everything I'm doing to keep them shouldn't be considered radical, right?"
"Hahaha~"
Henry Paulson did not answer Roland's question.
"Hey, hey, hey~"
And Roland, who was also laughing, looked down at the document.
Yes, the reason why Roland dared to be tough and confront Goldman Sachs was actually because he knew that Goldman Sachs would not do it to himself.
In other words, Goldman Sachs, a financial company whose purpose is to gather Jews, will not take the initiative to use a knife against the people.
Of course, just having the skin of Steven Spielberg's students is not safe, but what is deeper is actually the deep binding of Roland's various industries to the Jewish people......
Who is Amazon for?
Before Jeff Bezos called for wind and rain, his backer was the king of quantitative analysis, the Jew David Shaw!
Who is Google for?
Before Larry Page and Sergey Brin put on Wall Street in order to go public, their backers were still their own people, not to mention, the Stanford professor who endorsed them was also Jewish!
And PayPal does have nothing to do with Jews, but Warren Buffett and Goldman Sachs are wearing a pair of pants!
In addition, there is Microsoft's Bill Gates, when his dad can help him settle Microsoft's legal problems, his mom not only helped his company pull business, but also allowed Goldman Sachs to promote Microsoft's IPO and subsequent bond underwriting.
In front of these networks of broken bones and tendons, Goldman Sachs wants to threaten Roland?
What threats did he take?
In the case that he can cut his own people with a wave of the knife, Roland asks him to cut it, but he doesn't dare to cut it!
And in this case, Roland's self-protection by raising the asking price, in their opinion, is just that the interests are not enough and they don't want to sell.
Therefore, Henry Paulson, who felt that he had nothing to say, directly handed Roland the transaction agreement drawn up by the company's partners, and after Roland opened the contract, the first line of words made him full of black lines-
We can push for shale oil, but we need the position of US Treasury Secretary in the George administration!' ’
