The demolition of the east wall and the replacement of the west wall is an emergency measure taken for the purpose of temporary emergency response, which treats the symptoms rather than the root cause.

For a businessman, when he starts to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall, it is often time to go bankrupt.

Although Wen Ming claims to be a capitalist, he is also a businessman in the final analysis, and his behavior of withdrawing all Tesla's revenue is not much different from tearing down the east wall. Just like the well-known businessman Huang He, the reason why he was able to run away with his sister-in-law after owing 350 million was because he took away all the revenue of Jiangnan Leather Factory.

The 350 million arrears are the cost, in addition to manufacturing leather bags that have not been sold out for many years, they have also manufactured a lot of leather bags that have been sold. And the income created by those leather bags that have been sold is the revenue of the enterprise.

Wen Ming left Tesla with $2 billion, but instead of running away, he went to the Facebook headquarters not far from Tesla.

Of course, strictly speaking, Wen Ming did not take away a penny of cash, and all the money was transferred around the books.

"You say, if I came directly with $5 billion in cash, would the people at Morgan Stanley just give up competing with me?"

Because of the investment behavior of increasing capital and investing in Facebook, the benefits are too huge, so Wen Ming left Jurassic Island without hesitation. Even though, at this time, many studies on Jurassic Island have entered a critical stage.

With an investment of $5 billion, plus the Facebook shares obtained from the previous sale of ins, Wen Ming will be able to gain $73 billion after 7 years. It is not uncommon for an ROI of more than 14 times, and there is even a return on investment of 100 times, but if the investment amount and return amount reach the level of 5 billion US dollars and 73 billion US dollars respectively, it can really be recorded in investment history.

It only costs 2 yuan to buy a pair of burlap gloves, and then you can earn 200 yuan by going to the construction site to move bricks for a day, and the return on investment in one day has reached 100 times. But with 20,000 yuan, how many people can turn these 20,000 yuan into 2 million in a day?

And the person who took $5 billion and turned it into $73 billion in seven years can be said to have never appeared in this world. Because in 2010, there were nearly 200 world-class billionaires in the world with $5 billion, but Bill Gates, the world's richest man, was worth only $53 billion.

Seven years ago, in 2003, the tenth place on the list of the world's richest people was worth more than $16.5 billion, but seven years later, he did not make himself worth $73 billion.

The most important thing is that Wen Ming's investment behavior this time is completely an individual investment behavior, not a consortium investment behavior.

Therefore, Wen Ming is willing to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall, of course, the main reason is that he has the ability to ensure that even if the west wall is demolished by him, he will be able to recreate a new west wall in a short time.

"I don't think you're going to be able to come up with $5 billion in cash."

Mark Zuckerberg is in a good mood, because two days ago, Wen Ming told him that he would show up in front of him with $5 billion. And today, two days later, although he did not see $5 billion, he believed that Wen Ming, who had come to him, definitely had more than $5 billion on his books.

"$5 billion is not a small amount, even if you use a heavy truck to load, one car is far from enough."

was in a good mood, so Mark Zuckerberg joked with Wen Ming and said: "According to my mental calculations, the weight of 100 million US dollars should be about 1.15 tons, and 5 billion US dollars is 57.5 tons, as far as I know, there is no heavy truck that can carry 57.5 tons." ”

Wen Ming was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Doesn't it mean that you Americans, including people from many Western countries, have poor computing skills?" Why are you able to calculate so fast? ”

Mark Zuckerberg asked with a surprised face, "Why is there such a statement?" I was admitted to Harvard University anyway, how could I not even solve such a simple mathematical calculation problem? ”

Wen Ming smiled and did not continue the topic, because no one would trade with $5 billion in cash, but said, "Are the people at Morgan Stanley still making internal decisions?" ”

Mark Zuckerberg nodded and said, "A financial company like Morgan Stanley, they don't actually have much money themselves, and almost all of their money is their customers. Therefore, any investment they need to conduct a thorough analysis and investigation, and 5 billion US dollars is definitely not a small amount, after all, a heavy truck car can't be pulled, so they need at least three days to get results. ”

Morgan Stanley is commonly known as 'Big Mo' in the financial world, and a big word can reflect the strength of Morgan Stanley. Morgan Stanley is consistently ranked in the top 100 on Fortune magazine's Fortune 500 list, with more than 1,200 offices in 37 countries and more than 50,000 employees worldwide.

Stocks, bonds, foreign exchange, banks, real estate, etc., are all investment targets of Morgan Stanley. The amount of money at Morgan Stanley's disposal has made it recognized by the financial community as one of the three major investment banks on Wall Street.

But precisely because of this, Morgan Stanley cannot be a word.

Wen Ming laughed and said, "So, can we complete this capital increase within three days?" ”

Mark Zuckerberg nodded and said, "I have informed the shareholders of the company that they will attend the shareholders' meeting tomorrow morning, and I don't think there is any reason for them to refuse your capital increase." But why didn't you tell me two days ago to come today? If you had given me two days' notice, we would have started the shareholders' meeting now. Do you not believe that Tesla will be able to sell $2.09 billion in the past two days? ”

Wen Ming laughed and said, "Yes, even I didn't expect that I would be able to sell 20,000 Model-S in two days." I'm also ready to plan that if Tesla can't help me raise that much money, I'll put another investment on hold and transfer the money to you. ”

Compared with investing in Facebook, investing in Nokia is actually very profitable, and even because of Wenming's mastery of technology and understanding of the future development trend of Android phones, he can earn more money than investing in Facebook.

But investing in Nokia can wait, and the opportunity to invest in Facebook, if you miss this time, you won't have it.

Mark Zuckerberg's mood suddenly became very high, although he didn't know what Wen Ming's other investment was, but Wen Ming's attitude was that he had already pressed the treasure on him.

In other words, Wen Ming values him very much, and to be valued by Wen Ming now, he suddenly has a sense of honor.

"Mr. Wen Ming, please believe me, I will not let you down. Your investment in Facebook will definitely yield more than 3 times the return. ”

Wen Ming laughed, it seems that even Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, is not very confident about the future of Facebook. Facebook's valuation is now $40 billion, and a triple return is $120 billion.

In fact, when other people hear Mark Zuckerberg's words, including Bill Gates, they will think that Mark Zuckerberg is confident. Because for a company that has been established for less than 10 years, it is inconceivable that it can reach a market value of $120 billion after listing.

Ke Wenming is no one else, he knows the future. And, with his involvement, Facebook's future will only be brighter.

Wen Ming smiled: "You can remove the word sir, I said, I hope the two of us can become friends in life." ”

Mark Zuckerberg laughed, and was about to reply when his assistant knocked on the door and walked in, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Wen Ming noticed the change in Mark Zuckerberg's face, and had a bad premonition in his heart.

Sure enough, after his assistant left, Mark Zuckerberg said with a bitter face: "One shareholder said that people from Goldman Sachs also want to join in this financing negotiation and asked me to suspend your deal." ”

"Goldman Sachs?"

Wen Ming was stunned for a moment, this definitely increases the difficulty of investing in Facebook, because Goldman Sachs is also one of the three major investment banks on Wall Street. Coupled with Morgan Stanley's words, the competitors Wen Ming will face this time have become two of the three major investment banks on Wall Street.

Therefore, Wen Ming frowned and said: "You own the highest Facebook stake among all shareholders, and you are the CEO of Facebook, so why can't you dictate some?" ”
