Hong Kong's new giants

Lu Bingwen was shocked. He knew that his boss had a better vision than those investment managers. Jingwei Capital had been established for so many years and had invested in nearly 50 companies in the United States. The rest of the investment was worth nearly 3 million U.S. dollars. Barely pay back, next year may be able to make a lot of money, but not more than five times.

On the contrary, the investment hand-picked by the boss, just one Yahoo, has already multiplied hundreds of times.

"No problem, don't worry, the boss, after all, Goole has not yet risen, I will definitely get 10% of the investment!"

Lin Zuhui said worriedly: "Get it done as soon as possible, the price doesn't matter, and the relationship should be better! Let me tell you, Netscape, Yahoo, and Google are the products of the three eras. Yahoo will eventually lose to Google, and search engines will definitely lose Will beat the portal."

Lu Bingwen was surprised immediately, but he believed the boss's words, because the boss had already invested in Netscape and Yahoo.

"Okay, I see, finish it as soon as possible, and report to you at any time!"

Lin Zuhui nodded. In fact, he is not sure whether the second round of Google is 10% of the million dollars or 2500% of the 10 million dollars.

In short, he remembered that Google only had about two rounds of financing, and then there was no shortage of money!

Fortunately, they just moved into the garage at this time, and it was unreasonable to reject a venture capital company with little influence.

……

When Sharp, the founder of Four Seasons Hotel, convened the board of directors and announced that Barings Bank offered 48 US dollars per share (0.41 million shares) to privatize Four Seasons Hotel, it immediately exploded on the board of directors.

Of course, this price is quite attractive. After all, it is only 36.8 US dollars per share, which is a full premium of 30%.

"This price is quite attractive. We all know that hotel companies have always been undervalued by the market, and their stock prices have been low for a long time; therefore, since Barings Bank intends to acquire them, it is indeed a good target!" A director said first.

"I admit that Barings Bank is a good target, but don't forget, there are super rich people behind Barings Bank, so the price can naturally be higher. Do you think so?" A director said in a good mood.

"Haha, it makes sense!" Suddenly, many directors began to agree.

Sharp is also very happy that the Four Seasons Hotel was acquired by Barings Bank at this time, because when Harold, the vice president of Barings Bank, talked with him, he made it clear that he would continue to support himself in managing the Four Seasons Hotel and retain 5% of the shares.

Of course Sharp wants to cash out, isn't it nice for him to retire with more than 6 million US dollars; besides, the impact of the previous bankruptcy has always been in his heart, so he is not opposed to selling shares at all.

Of course, he can't show it yet, because Four Seasons Hotel still has two super rich shareholders.

Also present at the board of directors at this time was Waleed, as well as Bill Gates' personal financial representative.

"Prince Waleed, what's your opinion?"

Waleed is a little bit embarrassed, he has a good relationship with Lin Zuhui, but he is reluctant to part with the investment of Four Seasons Hotel, and he knows that Bill Gates also likes Four Seasons Hotel.But now, he could see that Sharp was already moved.

"If everyone agrees to privatization, I have no opinion! But I will choose to keep my shares."

A kind of shareholder looked at Waleed, because this person said so, so he also wanted to get involved in the privatization of the Four Seasons Hotel!

When Sharp saw the change in the situation, he was immediately happy, because it was within his expectation.His idea is very simple. It is best for Bill Gates, Lin Zuhui, and Walid to privatize the Four Seasons Hotel individually or in a group, so that the price can be higher.Moreover, his right to operate is still there.

……

Microsoft.

When Bill Gates heard that Barings Bank was privatizing the Four Seasons Hotel, he immediately changed his expression.

He likes the Four Seasons Hotel, because it is the place where he and Linda got married, which is very memorable; moreover, he also likes the style and environment of the Four Seasons Hotel. It can be said that if the Four Seasons Hotel is going to be privatized, he hopes to be himself.

"What do other shareholders say?" Bill Gates asked about his private finances Chuck.

"Everyone is very keen to take advantage of the situation, that is, to agree to privatization. The same is true for Mr. Sharp, after all, Barings may have reached some agreements with him, such as retaining his management rights and part of the equity."

Bill Gates immediately said: "Can I immediately take out the funds and participate in the privatization of the Four Seasons Hotel?"

Chuck said: "Of course it's not a problem, but you have to sell Microsoft's stock, or mortgage the stock. Given that Microsoft's stock is still rising wildly, it's not worth selling now, so you can give priority to loans. I believe many banks are very keen to become the richest man. You loan, sir."

Bill Gates breathed a sigh of relief as he listened to jokes about private finances.I have a net worth of 500 billion US dollars, why not fight for something I like?

……

New York, The Langham Hotel.

Lin Zuhui and Waleed met at their hotel.

The two met when they invested in Citibank and have maintained a good friendship since then.Both he and Waleed often come to the United States to seek opportunities, so they get together occasionally.

"Lin, I've been left behind by you a lot in terms of investment!" Walid said with a smile.

Lin Zuhui said modestly: "You are also very good. I have invested a lot of money, but the returns are not good!"

"Apple? Then you don't have to worry about it. With the return of Mr. Jobs, Apple has achieved very good results. Your paper profits are not cheap, right?"

"Haha, Mr. Jobs is indeed the best CEO of Apple."

At this moment, Waleed was a little envious. He actually wanted to invest in Apple, but Lin Zuhui took him one step ahead. Of course, he didn't particularly value Apple, because he had better choices.

The two chatted for a while, and Walid said, "Lin, your Barings wants to privatize the Four Seasons Hotel?"

Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "Indeed! I know that you are an important shareholder of the Four Seasons Hotel. Although I haven't communicated with you in advance, I always think that you are welcome to join us."

Walid said: "You may not know that there is another person who has a soft spot for the Four Seasons Hotel, and that is your opponent Bill Gates."

Lin Zuhui quickly waved his hand and said modestly: "How can I be compared with the world's richest man and technology giant."

Walid said with a smile: "People on Wall Street say this. In fact, your wealth is underestimated by magazines. After all, Bill Gates does not have so many unlisted companies. Moreover, you are also a technology giant. You invested in Yahoo, Amazon, and the ICQ you created, are tech companies."

"That's far from Microsoft. Microsoft's market capitalization should still have a big increase in this wave (currently 2350 billion U.S. dollars). I won't be surprised that Bill Gates will be worth 800 billion U.S. dollars next year."

"Indeed, Bill Gates' wealth has grown too fast! Therefore, you may encounter a strong opponent when you acquire the Four Seasons Hotel this time."

There was no surprise on Lin Zuhui's face, but he asked generously: "So you, plan to join forces with that friend!"

He knew that Waleed and Bill Gates were also friends, and he was also friends with Buffett, so he asked this question.

Walid said with a smile: "I hope to convince you two to cooperate, but if it is not possible, I will only keep my own shares and join whichever side you win."

Lin Zuhui was silent. He didn’t dare to take a peek at the world’s richest man. Bill Gates holds 27% of Microsoft’s shares, and Microsoft’s market value will exceed 2500 billion this year. There is absolutely no problem; Give in easily.

However, because Lin Zuhui invested a lot of shares in Bill Gates' rival companies, and refused Microsoft's acquisition of IQC, and the friendship between the two was originally a casual acquaintance, so they were really unfamiliar.

"Then let's see what happens next!" Lin Zuhui said with a smile.

"Okay, I hope everyone can handle this matter well!"

Next, the two chatted.Naturally, Lin Zuhui wanted to show off the Boeing 747 private jet he was about to deliver. Waleed was also very interested in this, and he had a bigger idea of ​​a private jet in his mind.

In fact, Waleed also has a superyacht, which is bigger than the two in Lin Zuhui's family. He used to play on it, and he has always been thinking about the 100-meter super modern yacht.

Therefore, he has asked the family office to go to Germany to investigate to see if it is possible to build a luxurious super yacht, which can carry a hundred people and take off a helicopter.

……

Apple.

Lin Zuhui came to Jobs' office and made a suggestion to him.

"Jobs, what do you think of the MP3 product?"

Jobs thought for a while and said: "Compared with MP3, I am of course more concerned about Apple's computer business. Lin, do you think this product has a good prospect? I remember that MP3 was invented by Xiangjiang Xiaomi Technology. You are the owner of this company. Big shareholder!"

Lin Zuhui said with a smile: "That's right! As for MP3, I suggest that you should pay attention to it. Think about it, how many Sony Walkmans have been sold? Now that we have entered the Internet age, a product that is smaller and more convenient than the Walkman, Apple Why doesn't the company take it seriously?"

Jobs got serious. In his opinion, Lin Zuhui definitely understood technology, otherwise he would not have invested in so many American technology companies.

Next, the two seriously discussed!

Lin Zuhui even described the appearance design, specific functions and effects of Apple's IPOD in his previous life!

"If it weren't for the popularization of computers in Asia and the busy Internet speed, I think Xiaomi Technology can develop such a good product! Such a product is a boon for people who like music. The important thing is that Apple can also connect Software evolves together."

Jobs nodded and said, "Okay, your suggestion is very good, I will definitely discuss it at the meeting!"

Lin Zuhui said with satisfaction: "OK"

Now he is the major shareholder of Apple, and he can make money for as many Apple phones as the Chinese people buy in the future.

Chapter 642 [Sky Castle]

The news that Lin Zuhui and Bill Gates competed for the 'Four Seasons Hotel' was quickly spread by the American media. One of them was the richest man in the world, and the other is the richest man in the world. Naturally, they are full of topicality.

Of course, the specifics are the competition between Barings Bank and Waterfall Investment. One is Lin Zuhui’s wholly-owned investment bank, and the other is the investment fund of the family office established by Bill Gates at the beginning of Microsoft’s listing.

In this competition, price is the most important thing. After all, both parties have promised to retain the management rights of Sharp, and shareholders only care about more money.

As for the cooperation between the four mentioned by Walid, Lin Zuhui and Bill Gates seem to have no real willingness to cooperate. After all, the relationship between the two is average and they are both rich.

Of course, Lin Zuhui felt that if it was too expensive, he would not insist on it. After all, the money did not come from the wind.

……

new York.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Lin Zuhui took Yin Waka to the international airport, and went under his Boeing 747 private jet through the VIP channel. The crew members were already lining up to welcome him.

He had just mentioned the plane, and it happened that Yin Waka was so fond of Lin Zuhui that he deliberately lied in exchange for a two-day "travel with classmates" vacation, and this trip came about.

Looking at the huge private jet, Yin Waka was also very surprised. Although she came from the family of a 'real estate tycoon', the Boeing 747 as a private jet still subverted her imagination; therefore, she was very excited at this time.

"This private jet is too huge!" Yin Waka sighed to Lin Zuhui sideways.

"Really?" Lin Zuhui said with a pun, but quickly added: "It is 70 meters long and has a wingspan of 65 meters. It was all disassembled and customized from scratch to suit my specific requirements to create the feel of a private flight."

Immediately, Yin Waka's curiosity soared, and he couldn't wait to get ready to board the plane, and said, "Really? Then welcome me to board the plane?"

"Of course, you are the first passenger other than me on this private jet."

Yin Waka smiled, and suddenly she was full of girlishness!

After the relationship between the two went further, the relationship naturally heated up in a straight line.Although Lin Zuhui is almost 34 years old, he still looks young and energetic, so there is no sense of disobedience when the two are together.

To be honest, Lin Zuhui knew that the relationship between the two would break up sooner or later. There were various reasons for this. The most fundamental thing was that both of them would be rational in the future.

However, Lin Zuhui has decided to coax Yin Waka well, even if it is the kind that can be friends after breaking up.

In this way, even if the Tangrad family was bought by him, because Tangrad and his wife Mela were also the 'matchmakers' he did last time.

In the future, if Tang Lade wants to turn his face, the people around him will blow the wind, which will be very beneficial to Lin Zuhui.

"Miss Yin Waka, please!" Lin Zuhui made a gentlemanly invitation.

As soon as you walk into the interior of the aircraft, you will be greeted with dignity and luxury. You must know that the aircraft itself is worth 1.5 million, but the modification cost is 8000 million U.S. dollars, with a total value of 2.3 million U.S. dollars.To put it bluntly, this is currently the most luxurious private jet in the world.

"This is the first floor space, mainly including the passenger cabin, meeting room, large restaurant, and leisure room. Of course, the lower floor is mainly used for entertaining friends or accompanying subordinates. The second floor space is my private space !"

"This is the spiral staircase, Yinwaka, please follow me!"

When they reached the second floor, Yin Waka knew how much Lin Zuhui was a person who could enjoy himself. Although her father would also enjoy it, the previous super yachts and private jets were all sold.What's more, the previous private jets were far inferior to this one.

There is only one master bedroom on the second floor, but it is very large; the rest of the space includes a study room, entertainment room, dining room, living room, etc., and even a gym.

"Big villain, why is there such a big bed?" Yin Waka said with suspicious eyes.

Men are always flirtatious, including Baba himself, so Yin Waka also knows that Lin Zuhui is that kind of person.

However, she is now "brainless", so she will naturally be desperate.

Lin Zuhui said as a matter of course: "People always pursue a comfortable environment, and I am no exception. Then Miss Yin Waka, do you think it is why?"

"I don't know, anyway, you are a philandering rich man, I have made a big mistake!"

Seeing that Yin Waka was already a little confused, Lin Zuhui immediately tried his best to soften the girl's heart again.

"Baby, don't worry, I will always support your decision!"

"Okay, I won't suffer any more, just wait until the day you get dumped by me!"

After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled!

Next, Lin Zuhui brought Yin Waka downstairs and had breakfast together!

The whole process is more enjoyable than a luxurious five-star hotel.These flight attendants are all old employees of Lin Zuhui, and they are also trustworthy.

This trip starts from New York, goes to Los Angeles, California for vacation, and starts back to New York tomorrow.

In fact, almost the entire journey was on Lin Zuhui's private jet, after all, it would take more than 13 hours to go back and forth.

But it doesn't matter, even if you spend a week in this plane, you won't feel bored, let alone the matching of men and women.

After breakfast, the two returned to the second floor again.

The two sat on the sofa, snuggling together.

"Honey, there is a magic in your eyes, which always attracts people!" Yin Waka suddenly turned around and said closer.

Lin Zuhui was also slightly taken aback, because he had heard many women say this. At first he thought it was because of wealth and appearance, but later he found out that it was not all.

Probably, his eyes will generate electricity!

God really arranged for the traversers properly, not only arranged the ability value, but also arranged the charisma value.
