Rebirth 76: Industrial Internet Empire

The negotiation with Ellison made Yang Mo see what it means to be stubborn.

Zhiyuan Group can provide equity financing, but the equity it holds does not have voting rights.

But now that the matter has come to this, Yang Mo can only give Oracle a blood transfusion first, investing US$8000 million to get 10% of the equity, a premium of nearly 25%.

Otherwise, Ellison is amazing!The second largest shareholder and the third largest shareholder who are both co-founders do not have as many shares combined as him. Yang Mo tried his best but still failed to get the controlling stake of Oracle...

However, this major change in equity also allowed Ellison to see the benefits and hidden risks of cooperation with investors. After the board of directors announced the shareholder changes, Qianhai Asset Management and Andy Venture Capital also announced the repurchase of Oracle's outstanding shares. , Oracle stock bottomed out and rebounded, finally stopping the decline!

The hidden risk is that once Andy Venture Capital and Qianhai Asset Management reach a certain tacit understanding and launch a tender offer, Ellison's position as chairman will be unstable...

Andy Bettlesheim has already perfectly experienced the joy of waving a checkbook in his hand. Not long after the establishment of Andy Venture Capital, Zhiyuan Group already injected capital for the third time. In order to retain his 10% equity, he had to make continuous investment Two follow-up investments.

The 10.5% stake held by Vinod Scola, another co-founder of Sun, was also acquired by Andy Bertolsheim at a high price of US$8500.

Although the acquisition of Bill Joy's equity failed, as a technology executive of Sun, Bill Joy is McNeely's strongest supporter. Once the 12% equity held by him is sold to Andy Venture Capital, Sun may face fierce competition. Equity battles.

Even so, the 24.5% equity held by Andy Venture Capital also made Andy the largest shareholder of Sun. However, this is reasonable. Andy Bertelsheim is the main founder of Sun. people.

Even Andy Bettlesheim himself did not expect that in just half a month, a series of blockbuster equity acquisitions would make Andy Venture Capital the hottest capital company in Silicon Valley.

There is an endless stream of start-up companies that go to Andy Venture Capital to try their luck every day. Yang Mo walked in for a long time before Andy Bettlesheim looked up from the pile of entrepreneurial planning books on his desk...

"Andy, do you have to personally review each of these business plans?" Yang Mo asked with a smile.

Andy Bettlesheim nodded: "I like this work! Some wild ideas, although difficult to be commercialized, are very forward-looking. Some planning projects require huge funds, but almost nothing can be done in a short time." No reward in sight…”

"Andy, your top priority is to set up an angel investment team to conduct a preliminary screening of these plans, otherwise the workload will be too heavy and you will miss those dusty pearls!" Yang Mo suggested seriously.

"Mr. Yang, Andy Venture Capital has spent 4 million US dollars in a very short period of time. We have been burning money. When will we see benefits?" Andy Bertolsheim asked worriedly .

Yang Mo chuckled and said: "When you spend another 40 billion US dollars, Andy Ventures will really become the largest investment company in Silicon Valley. Andy, you will also become a big boss in the Internet capital circle. Everyone will give you three Divide thin noodles…”

"Are you kidding? Spend another 40 billion? How can I have so much money to invest?" Andy Bettlesheim asked with his eyes widened.

"As long as Andy Venture Capital has enough profitability, a lot of people will line up to give you money. When the market value of Cisco, Oracle, and Sun exceeds 50 billion, those big family consortiums will come to beg you..." Yang Mo said confidently.

"50 billion? How is that possible?" Andy Bertolsheim asked with an incredulous look on his face.

"Everything is possible. The Internet is a place where myths are written. Andy, you don't have to worry. The losses within the embankment will be made up for by the embankment. As long as Andy Venture Capital can obtain enough equity in Cisco, Oracle, and Sun, even if it rises to 500 billion, You're not at a loss either!" Yang Mo said with a smile.

"Mr. Yang, there is currently no suitable opportunity to sell the non-tradable shares of Cisco, Oracle, and Sun. Should we do something about the tradable shares?" Andy Bertolsheim showed an eager look on his face.

"There is no suitable opportunity because your bid has not yet met the seller's psychological expectations. Then increase the price until he is moved..." Yang Moyun said calmly.

"What's the premium? For example, the 21% stake in Cisco held by Sequoia Capital." Andy Bertolsheim asked excitedly. He didn't even think about it. If Cisco's stock is so valuable, he himself will lose money. How much.

"Within 100% of the premium, you can make your own decisions. You can negotiate not only for Cisco and Oracle, but also for the equity of Microsoft, Intel, AOL, IBM, Dell, and Netscape. Don't worry about the funds. I will let Merlo Bank give it to you." Andy Venture Capital will grant you a certain amount of credit and will have the opportunity to introduce you to a powerful capital company for equity financing..." Yang Mo said.

Silicon Valley technology tycoon, well-connected, daring to think and do, possessing strategic vision, and liking the venture capital industry... Every characteristic of Andy Bettlesheim fits perfectly. It is Yang Mo who has been working hard throughout the entire plan. Looking for the white gloves.

Yang Mo knows better than anyone else that Uncle Sam will not easily let the controlling rights of these important Internet companies fall into the hands of an Oriental. They will have countless means for anti-monopoly investigations, security reviews, unfair competition, insider trading, etc. Used to deal with Zhiyuan Group...

"Mr. Yang, take a look at the entrepreneurial plan I selected. It's a bit interesting. I've talked to him personally, and his resume is even more interesting..." After talking about the overall plan of Andy Venture Capital, Andy Bertols said Mu took out a folder from the drawer and handed it over.

"Palm Computing development plan?" Yang Mo's eyes instantly revealed a strange look.

Andy Bettlesheim nodded and said: "The planner Jeff Hawkins is the patent holder of the PalmPrint handwriting recognition system. He graduated from Cornell University in 1979 and worked at Intel for seven years. He entered the University of California, Berkeley, and studied for a PhD in biophysics. After biophysics research reached a technical bottleneck, he once again crossed the border to study computer technology. It took him a year to develop a palmprint handwriting recognition system. His entrepreneurial plan was based on handwriting. Based on the identification system, a computer that can be held in your hand is developed!”

"It's interesting, Andy, please contact Jeff Hawkins and see if he is available now. I want to meet him!" Yang Mo asked calmly.
