Feng Yu didn't know what it was like on the other side of the country, and he didn't want to know. He really has no interest in this business.
But Feng Yu is not interested, which does not mean that others are not interested.
"Feng, I heard that an American congressman came to see you, and was searched carefully by your people?" Kirilenko asked excitedly.
"That's right, just give him a small lesson." Feng Yu raised his eyebrows.
Kirilenko laughed loudly: "Yes, such a person should be taught a lesson! Think that a small congressman is very powerful? Maybe we can't let his family decline all of a sudden, but let his family It's easy to change a spokesperson, a family doesn't have just one heir."
"Okay, let's not talk about him anymore. He is a clown and is not interesting. Amazon is about to go public. Have we talked to you about targeted financing?" Feng Yucha changed the subject.
"We've talked about it. No matter what the price, I'll buy it. You don't need to tell me this time, I know that Amazon's stock price will definitely rise."
Feng Yu was a little curious. Kirilenko didn't seem to know much about finance. Why was he so sure this time
"Why are you so sure and don't think about it? If it doesn't rise so much, you might as well earn more by investing in gold. Aren't you going to suffer a big loss?" Feng Yu asked deliberately.
"Hahaha, Feng, you underestimate me too much. I don't know anything else, but my team told me that Amazon has the most users and started making profits two years ago. At that time, eBay was still losing money. Besides, since you are the major shareholder of this company, will the stock price fall? Can’t we raise the stock price? The most important thing is that I believe in you. If you recommend it to me, I will definitely not lose money."
Feng Yu laughed: "Yes, Amazon now needs funds to continue to expand, and it needs the name of a listed company to expand its influence. A company worth billions of dollars may not attract much attention, but if Amazon's market value exceeds Hundreds of billions of dollars, then the turnover will definitely increase a lot."
The larger the company, the more it can attract users, because people instinctively think that large companies are more stable. It's like having two houses with the same size, location, and price, but one is developed by a large company and the other is developed by a small company. Although the quality is claimed to be the same, most people will still choose the property developed by the large company.
The bigger the name, the more attractive it is. The more customers there are, the bigger the name is. These are complementary to each other.
Now that Amazon is in a period of rapid expansion, it does need funds to expand. Going public is the simplest and best choice. Anyway, the voting rights are still in Feng Yu's hands, and he still has the final say in the company. After a period of time after the listing, Feng Yu can still cash out some of the non-voting stocks and make money.
Just like when Soft Bank invested 100 million in Yahu, they exchanged one-third of the shares and cashed out 2%, which is 400 million U.S. dollars, and the rest is all profits.
The same goes for Feng Yu. When the time comes to cash out part of the non-voting shares, he will be able to recover all of his original investment.
The most important thing is that Feng Yu sees that the downturn in the US stock market has almost arrived, and some large investment companies have begun to hunt for the bottom of the stock market. At this time, Amazon is listed, and the stock price will definitely continue to rise based on this shareholder trend.
At that time, Feng Yu will not lose money whether he cashes out to make a profit or continues to hold it.
And after Amazon goes public, it can be guaranteed that even if Microsoft's stock price rebounds, Feng Yu's net worth will still be strong enough to overwhelm Bill Gates. Perhaps Bill Gates will be the second in line for a thousand years in the future!
And there is another advantage, that is, after Amazon's listing, the stock price soared, and several Chinese Internet companies will be able to raise more funds when they are listed in Hong Kong early next year.
If a listed company that has been delisted is listed again, investors may not necessarily be enthusiastic about it, but if investors think that Internet technology stocks will flourish again, that will be different.
Moreover, it is safer to choose Xiangjiang. Whoever intends to manipulate the stock prices of these companies, Feng Yu can respond as quickly as possible, making it difficult for the other party to go around.
"Okay, Brother Ji, I have to admit that your analysis makes sense. I think next year, your ranking will be improved by a few places."
With eBay's stock, Kirilenko's assets can rise sharply again, not to mention that with the rise in gold prices, the market value of Polar Bear Mining Group is also rising, and the gold futures invested by Kirilenko will definitely The assets of those ranked ahead of him will grow faster.
"Feng, do you think there is any hope that my assets will surpass Bill Gates in the future?"
"Brother Ji, believe me, your assets will definitely surpass his!"
eBay's stock alone can make Kirilenko's assets rise a lot. What's more, by 2008, if the US financial market can be severely disturbed, Kirilenko's assets will be able to increase by that time. Overtaking Bill Gates and becoming the second largest person in the world.
Well, he can only be ranked second in the world. He can never surpass Feng Yu.
Kirilenko grinned: "Hahaha, when the richest man in the United States will be stepped on by a Chinese and a Russian, it will be really happy to think about it! By the way, Feng, I know you have investments in China This bank is called Minsheng, right? Can I become a shareholder?"
Feng Yu shook his head in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, Brother Ji, I'm afraid this bank is really not good. It was established by some of our Chinese businessmen. I am only one of the founders, but we can cooperate."
"It doesn't matter, then I will invest in other banks. I just think it will be safer to invest in the bank you invest in." Kirilenko shrugged. Anyway, he also investigated and found that Minsheng Bank was not very profitable at this time. , completely inferior to those state-owned banks in China, and even less comparable to the big banks in the world.
In the evening, the two of them had dinner together, but they didn't know what the topic started, and they talked about Sandys again.
"Sandys actually wants to do arms business with me, but I have no interest in this at all. What do you think he thinks, that he would ask me to do this business? I can't even finish the easy and profitable business. Go ahead. Doing that dangerous business?" Feng Yu sneered.
Kirilenko was stunned: "Feng, what business did you say Sandy wanted from you? Arms?!"
"Yes, he said that he had a very good relationship with the Colt family and wanted to buy some bullets and other consumables. I didn't bother to verify whether it was true."
"You don't want to do this business? The profit must be very high?"
"How much higher is high energy? After Amazon goes public, you know that financial profits will be higher."
"Feng, are you really not interested in this business at all?" Kirilenko asked again.
"No, what's wrong?"
"Feng, you don't do this business, but I want to do it!" Kirilenko said seriously.
Feng Yu hasn't seen Kirilenko so serious for a long time, but in Feng Yu's opinion, the profits from this business are really average, and it's not worth taking such a big risk.
"Brother Ji, think about it, this profit seems to be very high, but if you think about it, compared with financial investment, it is much worse."
"Feng, I have some reasons that I have to do. I want to contact Sandys tomorrow."
Is it because of their family? Feng Yu didn't know the specific reason, but he didn't ask any more questions.
"Then you go for it, but I suggest you find an agent and don't let yourself get in too deep."
