Dai Wensen originally wanted to mediate, but he didn't expect that Li Mu would not leave any room for him as soon as he came up.
He said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Li, please calm down. To be honest, the market rules are like this. The family forces behind Wall Street have too much hot money with nowhere to go. They also control a large number of funds and banks. They can It is said that half of the money in the United States is in their hands. When they see any industry with room for operation, they will naturally rush in to make a fortune, not only the Internet, real estate, petroleum, communications, aviation, aerospace, and even foreign countries. Currency, as long as there is an opportunity, they will take the opportunity to make a fortune."
Li Mu hummed and said, "I know the ways of Wall Street. They eat other industries and I can't control them, but not the Internet."
After that, Li Mu added: "I may not have the ability to confront them head-on, but I still have the ability to tell the truth and make investors more vigilant."
"Oops..." Dai Wensen said hurriedly: "Mr. Li, why are you so stalemate with them? Makino Technology will be listed on Nasdaq in the future. Maintaining a friendly and peaceful relationship with them will also be of great benefit to you in the future. .”
Li Mu sneered and said: "It doesn't matter. If the capitalists on Wall Street look too ugly, then I will go public on the Hong Kong stock market. And if I go public on the Hong Kong stock market, I will never come to the United States again, let alone have any cooperation with these local tyrants and evil gentry on Wall Street." , it doesn’t matter even if we all become enemies in the future.”
With that, Li Mu added: "Davinson, our previous intention to cooperate was based on the listing of Makino Technology in the United States. If I decide to give up listing in the United States, our intention to cooperate will be invalidated, and I may not be able to do so by then." Choose HSBC as the lead underwriter of Makino Technology’s IPO. I can even tell you that I will not choose any underwriter with ties to Wall Street. I, Li Mu, will do what I say!”
As soon as Li Mu said this, Devinson suddenly panicked.
At this stage, it is not which exchange chooses Makino Technology, but Makino Technology chooses the exchange.
Makino Technology is like a real-life God of Wealth, and everyone wants to invite it to their home.
With Makino Technology's current performance, it can be listed anywhere, and Hong Kong may not be worse than Nasdaq.
Makino Technology has always been in the profit-making stage and has high market recognition. If it can raise tens of billions of dollars in its IPO in the United States, it can raise hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars in its listing in Hong Kong. This means the same thing to Makino Technology.
Where a company goes public, there are two main considerations.
First, who lets me go;
Second, who has better conditions
For example, why do many Chinese Internet companies want to be listed on the US or Hong Kong stocks
This is the question in the first article, because there are clear requirements for domestic A-shares. A prerequisite for listed companies is that they must be registered for more than three years and make profits for three consecutive years.
Most Internet companies play with creativity and fail on concepts, so they continue to burn money and lose money from the first day of starting a business. For example, JD.com has been losing money for many years. This situation does not meet the conditions for domestic listing;
In contrast, the threshold for listing on U.S. and Hong Kong stocks is relatively low and is more suitable for Internet companies.
As for the second clause, it is the true measure if the first clause is met.
Alibaba originally wanted to be listed in Hong Kong, but Hong Kong does not allow different rights for the same shares, and Alibaba wants to implement a partnership system, that is, the power of partners on the board of directors is not affected by the number of shares held.
But Hong Kong did not agree to Alibaba's request at that time, so Alibaba turned to the US stock market and set a financing record of US$21.8 billion.
If Hong Kong had agreed to Ali's request at that time, Ali would have been listed on the Hong Kong stock market, and naturally there would be no problems with Nasdaq.
For Li Mu, it doesn’t matter whether the same shares have the same rights, the same shares have different rights, or the partnership system, because he himself is the absolute majority shareholder, with a shareholding ratio of more than 70% and 100% of the voting rights, even if it is listed and released8 A share of 10 points or 10 points, as well as voting rights of 8 points or 10 points, will not have any impact on one's control.
Therefore, Li Mu said that it was completely possible for him to not cooperate with Wall Street capitalists and move to Hong Kong.
Firstly, he does not need Wall Street capitalists to make him rich, and secondly, he does not need Wall Street capitalists to lend him money, so why should he take them seriously
In other words, those who really need Li Mu are the capitalists on Wall Street.
If Li Mu is listed on the U.S. stock market, assuming that the market value agreed with the lead underwriter is US$400 billion, and Li Mu decides to use 8% of the shares as tradable shares, then before the official listing, he will distribute it to the entire Wall Street through Devinson, which is A $32 billion deal.
For a company with excellent performance and excellent prospects like Makino Technology, the US$32 billion in shares issued during the IPO stage is simply a money-making machine.
Whoever gets this batch of stocks will get rich, and there will be no problem if the price rises to 64 billion on the first day of listing.
If it performs better, like Google, the shares sold to them by Makino Technology for US$32 billion may rise to US$100 billion on the first day of listing.
The profits behind this are enough to drive Wall Street crazy.
If this benefit is lost from Nasdaq to Hong Kong, it will be enough for Wall Street bosses to regret it.
Hong Kong missed Alibaba back then and regretted it for N years. However, Alibaba's size is simply not the same as Makino Technology.
Therefore, if Makino Technology leaves Nasdaq and is listed in Hong Kong, Wall Street will definitely suffer a serious setback.
Moreover, if Li Mu decides to list in Hong Kong, he will immediately invest in the securities industry in Hong Kong, and at the same time set up an investment fund settled in Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong, use the Hong Kong dollar structure to invest in Internet companies around the world, and then use his own gravity to invest in All companies were listed on Hong Kong stocks.
If this is done, Nasdaq may lose a large number of Internet companies.
If Li Mu does his best, Wall Street will miss out on the super dividends of the Internet.
When Dai Wensen heard that Li Mu had the idea to go public on the Hong Kong stock market and even change the lead underwriter, he was immediately panicked.
During the recent period, his life has been extremely comfortable. In the entire Jewish business circle, his status and voice are getting higher and higher. This is because he has reached a preliminary agreement with Li Mu, and Li Mu's large IPO orders will be handled through him. Distribute it to countless investors who are waiting eagerly.
If Li Mu suddenly pulled away and said goodbye to him at this time, he would be thrown down as much as he was praised.
So he hurriedly said: "Mr. Li, please don't be too angry. As you said, those people on Wall Street are just a bunch of local tyrants and evil gentry. They are used to being arrogant and domineering. They are greedy for money and want to make any money." You must not be acquainted with them."
Almost instantly, Devinson betrayed his compatriots in the face of profit.
Li Mu snorted and said, "Please help me tell the local tyrants and evil gentry on Wall Street that the progress of Makino Technology's IPO will be taken back a notch. It is no longer about when to go public, but to go back and start thinking about where to go public." question."
Devinson's voice was almost pleading: "Mr. Li, why do you need to be like this group of people... The cooperation between us is still very pleasant!"
Li Mu didn't buy it at all and said: "Davinson, if you can call me, it proves that our previous cooperation was not pleasant. At least it is starting to be unpleasant now. You have your desire for benefits, and I also have the pursuit of my principles." !”
After that, Li Mu hung up the phone and said to Li Ziwei: "Inform the crew to apply for the route back to Yanjing and takeoff permission now. The sooner the better!"
Li Ziwei nodded and immediately called the crew chief.
After explaining these things, Li Ziwei asked Li Mu tentatively: "Mr. Li, if you offend the entire Wall Street, will there be any bad effects in the future?"
"Bad influence?" Li Mu sneered: "They are capitalists through and through. In front of them, interests are above all else. Those who can bring them profits can even ride on their necks and cause dysentery, but they cannot be given to them." It’s useless to kneel down and beg them for bringing profits.”
With that said, Li Mu added: "Don't think that Wall Street is too awesome. Only people who are short of money think Wall Street is awesome. No one who is really rich can look up to them."
After a pause, Li Mu continued: "I have long seen through the so-called "big guys", "family", and "Old Money" on Wall Street. They all look awesome, counting three to five generations. There are famous rich people in the United States, but now, they really don’t have that much power.”
"Take Devinson as an example. He is the top of the old money family. Taking into account all the assets of the entire family, the company has a company worth tens of billions of dollars. The cash at its disposal may not even be a billion dollars."
“The remaining ones are either stocks, shares, bulk assets, or real estate. Many of them are still locked shares. For example, they may have 30% of the shares of a listed company, but in principle, these 30% of the shares cannot be held. Transactions can only be done through pledging."
"Furthermore, for such a huge family, just like the Ford family, three or five generations have not had any family planning. Now, hundreds of thousands of children in the direct line and collateral families are waiting for food. If they really use money to cause trouble, how much can they use? ?”
"So, even one of them is not enough in front of me."
When Li Ziwei heard this, she couldn't help but laugh out loud and said: "So that's it. I've always heard that this family and that family have hundreds of years of history, and they behave like hermits."
Li Mu chuckled: "They are the only ones who are still hermits? Look at how much Soros is regarded as a myth among the people. Do you know how much money he has?"
"Not sure." Li Ziwei shook her head.
Li Mu said disdainfully: "On this year's Forbes list, his personal assets are only US$7 billion."
"So few?" Li Ziwei was obviously surprised.
Li Mu said with a smile: "The leader of the so-called giant crocodile only has assets of 7 billion US dollars. What the hell are you talking about?"
