Chapter 492 The purpose of Ali shares and Goldman Sachs
Goldman Sachs is very awesome, the most profitable and powerful investment bank in the United States. It turned out to be just a small money house established by a coachman, but with the operation of generations of partners, it has become the world's top investment bank. Even the US government has treated Goldman Sachs as guests of honor. Many presidents have served as US Treasury Secretary, calling the wind and rain in the world.
Since the moment, Goldman Sachs has invested quickly, with almost no mistakes. It seems that it is always the lucky one who can win the big lottery. However, it missed the big order with the most oil and water, and Alibaba has also become the biggest failure in Goldman Sachs Group's global investment, no one.
In October 1999, with the connection between a Chinese executive at Goldman Sachs, Goldman Sachs invested $5 million in Alibaba in the first round. It was this precious $5 million that helped Mababa survive the most difficult time in the early stage of its business and made Alibaba famous since then, which led to the story of SoftBank Masayoshi Son.
Goldman Sachs finally acquired a 50% stake in Alibaba for US$5 million!
After the disillusionment of the global Internet bubble, Goldman Sachs began to become suspicious of the Internet.
In 2004, Goldman Sachs began selling some of its shares in Alibaba for $22 million, which was equivalent to seven times the purchase price. But in comparison, investors who bought shares from Goldman Sachs eventually became the biggest winners.
Reality has proved that Alibaba has become the biggest failure of Goldman Sachs Group's investment.
As the smartest and most awesome investment bank in the world, Goldman Sachs took a look and got up early to go to the evening market, which made Alibaba myths come true, but it could not see Alibaba's future. It was sold at a low price at the beginning of Alibaba, and finally missed the first prize and received a consolation prize. It was also a great sarcasm.
Since Andy knew this history, he naturally would not miss this opportunity. However, he could not confirm whether Goldman Sachs had shares in Alibaba, so he could only try to ask abruptly. Both Pild and Buffett were a little confused. 13. After tens of seconds of silence at Buffett, Pild looked at Buffett and said: "Well, there is one, but it is suspected of plagiarizing Yibei. We sold more than 30% of the shares, and now there are still ten% left in our hands..."
"The company's name is Ali, right? I want to buy those shares. I wonder what your offer is?" Andy's face was filled with a charming sunshine and charming smile. He turned the club in his hand, and handed the club to the caddie kindly, and said to Pild calmly.
If you can acquire this part of the shares now, then Li Xiaoying, who was sent to Rabbit Kingdom, will have enough place to settle down and entry points to start working in Rabbit Kingdom. Of course, you can also take this as an opportunity to get more Alibaba shares.
"Wow, Andy, are you actually interested in e-commerce in Rabbit Country? You should know that it is just a copy of Amazon's Rabbit Country Internet company. When one of our Chinese executives hosted the investment, most of the shares were sold by us at 7 times the price. You should know that Alibaba is developing well now, but the price is not cheap." Pilder's eyes flashed with a smile, and he put the golf ball on the ball holder, stood up, and looked at Andy with a deep meaning.
The little assistant Tori, who was standing aside, saw the harmless sunny smile on the boss's face, and couldn't help but observe a silence for the bald man who was still smirking from the other side. He is such an idiot. Every time the big devil shows such a sunny smile, most of the time it is to reduce the other party's defense. It is a matter of time to be cheated...
"I am optimistic about the economic development of Rabbit Kingdom in the future, so I will establish an investment bank in Rabbit Kingdom. Newly established companies must have a place to open up the situation. Alibaba is a good entry point. I want the remaining shares of $10 million. I think you Goldman Sachs won't refuse this business, right?"
Andy is not worried that Goldman Sachs will refuse, nor is she worried that they will raise prices. After all, Alibaba's popularity in the United States is really bad, and she has been despised as a counterfeit Amazon.
Buffett looked at Andy's calm expression thoughtfully. He didn't know about it, and because he didn't understand it, he would never touch it. However, there should be something different about a company that can be valued by the magical boy in front of him.
Pild curled his lips, stood up, posed, and swung hard.
"Bang"
"The price is good. I'll go back and discuss it with everyone. I think our first cooperation will be a pleasant success!" Pilder didn't care about a copycat e-commerce company far away in a foreign country. He cared about establishing friendship with Andy, who had a strong background, huge amount of cash in his hand, and a genius.
"Of course, my people will contact you as soon as possible. The company of Rabbit Kingdom has been established and the personnel are preparing. I think Alibaba's shares are a good gift. At least we have a foothold in Rabbit Kingdom, or are you a big multinational investment bank, and the whole world is unimpeded."
Andy just smiled faintly, and was not excited because he could buy Alibaba shares. His mentality is increasingly thinking of a real billionaire. Wealth has gradually become an indispensable part of his life. He is a person who uses wealth, not a tool that is dominated by wealth.
"Haha, Andy heard that you will have a big move next? I wonder if we Goldman Sachs can help you?" Pilder saw that the initial contact with Andy had been effective, and asked while the iron was hot.
Andy shook his head and laughed, shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands to Warren Buffett, who also looked at him with a smile, and said: "It seems that there is really no secret on Wall Street. The so-called secret is just a matter of time and order that people of different levels need to know."
Warren Buffett leaned on the club, squatted down and put the ball in his hand, slowly stood up and smiled: "I have said a long time ago that Wall Street is paying attention to you. Besides, everyone is also curious that the first company you chose to acquire would be Marvel Entertainment. It seems that Hollywood's report that you want to be the king of copyright is not a random guess."
Andy looked at Pild with a helpless smile, "You guys are really so leisurely, why should you stare at me?"
"Hahaha, who made you so surprised and amazing? I have created almost 6 billion assets in one year. I think no one will ignore you. You have been successful all the time. Some things that seem useless are also believed to be your layout through research and speculation. Andy, our Goldman Sachs is willing to be your friend and serve you in your future acquisitions. Any company you owned by IPO will be listed, and we Goldman Sachs hope to become your preferred IPO underwriter!"
Pilder said to Andy seriously, and also made Andy understand what Goldman Sachs liked. It has to be said that Goldman Sachs has an extraordinary appetite. Many companies will list their own layout. What Pilder wants to do is to establish a good relationship with Andy now, so as to get a large commission in the future.
"Pilde, you didn't tell me that you asked me to introduce Andy to you with this purpose!"
Warren Buffett looked at Pild with a sharp look, his face no longer had the warm smile he had before. He leaned on his cue and said in a clear tone. He didn't want to offend Andy because of Pild, after all, Andy is too young. The most important thing is that he and Andy have established a good friendship.
"Haha, Mr. Buffett is not angry. I have no purpose. I just said casually. If it causes trouble to you, I apologize..."
Andy smiled, not interested in whether the two were acting for him to show, but that was nothing, so she smiled and said to them, "Why not? If it really needs it again."
It was already noon after a golf game. The three of them had a pleasant lunch in the restaurant on the golf course. In the afternoon, Andy handed over the purchase of Alibaba shares to the future eO Li Xiaoying of Tuguo Investment Company.
