Hollywood Starts with Animation

In the face of Wells Fargo's acquisition, Zucker's first reaction was a little stunned.

"Hey, hey, Zhu Ke, solve my loan problem first." Beibei urged.

"Okay, let's settle your business first."

Zu Ke can still distinguish the priorities of things.

With the outbreak of the Internet bubble, the Internet industry in the United States has shown an extremely sluggish state, and many Internet companies have gone bankrupt.

Many Internet companies are in a state of tight capital chain!

All of them want to ease the company's financial situation through bank loans and other means, but now, the major banks in the United States are talking about the discoloration of Internet companies!

In this stock market crash, not only did many companies go bankrupt, but the major banks in the United States were also faced with huge amounts of bad debts, bad debts, and dead debts. Many of the dollars removed from borrowings could never be returned!

Even though the Standard Bank of California, Zucker has all the shares, he can decide anything with one word, but he can't ignore the impact!

Therefore, Beiguangtou's loan of $500 million this time is not to ask Standard Bank of California to pay, but to borrow from Zucker. The three-party contract guarantees that the assets lent by Zucker will be returned in the future to the greatest extent.

Soon...  

A simple loan letter of intent has been drafted.

The legal personnel of Zucker, Standard Bank of California, and Bei Baldtou repeatedly confirmed the legitimacy of the terms.

"Boss, Mr. Bezos, if there is no problem with the letter of intent, we can sign a formal three-party loan contract in a week, and the funds will be transferred soon," said the general manager of the bank.

Hearing this, Bezos breathed a sigh of relief.

He's a pretty ambitious man, and even though he now owns more than 30% of Amazon, he wants more.

"I've had enough of the constraints of those shareholders. I don't take the opportunity to take more shares this time. I'm completely sorry for this opportunity given by God!" Bezos was full of pride.

Even though this crisis has caused Amazon to suffer a serious setback, he is still full of confidence in Amazon's future.

"as long as you are happy,

Don't forget our agreement, I will also have some more shares. "Zuke smiled.

Man, that's Amazon!

Take a look at it, the current share price of Amazon's single stock has fallen below the $10 mark, and soon, it will even fall below $2, almost becoming a "penny stock" that everyone hates.

However, who would have thought that in 2020, Amazon's single share price exceeded $2,000, making it the company with the highest single share price in the world.

"As long as the opportunity is right, I'm sure of the 200-fold return." Zu Ke thought to himself.

There is no doubt that the cooperation between Zhu Ke and Bei Baldtou this time is definitely a win-win situation.

After all, Zhu Ke has no intention of becoming the chairman of Amazon.

......

After leaving Standard Bank of California, Zucker contacted his own think tank immediately.

Ike Mosinski, male, 48 years old, former head of investment department of UBS Poland branch, good at banking, venture capital and fund raising;

Ike Mosinski said: "Boss, Wells Fargo wants to buy your Standard Bank of California, it's a surprise, but it makes sense."

"Oh, what do you say?" asked Zucker.

In the following time, Ike showed his value, and Zucker provided a set of data.

Well, data from Wells Fargo.

Since 1997, Wells Fargo has become one of the fastest-growing banks in the United States, with an annual profit growth rate of 110% to 430%;

Wells Fargo’s savings growth rate is also extremely terrifying, reaching 230% to 280%;

Wells Fargo's market value in 1997 was only $690 million, and in the "American Banking" report just published this year, it ranked 21st on the list of American banks, with an overall market value of $2.27 billion.

"Hey~ The development is strong enough! Um, where is the California Standard Bank ranked?" Zucker couldn't help asking.

Hearing this, Ike said slightly embarrassedly: "Boss, your bank failed to enter the top 100."

Well, after learning the result, Zhu Ke was also a little embarrassed.

Zucker admitted that he has paid little attention to his own Standard Bank of California, except after the acquisition in 1998, when it injected a capital of $400 million.

"Since this is the case, my bank is so bad, why are they still planning to buy it?" Zucker asked.

Can't help but ask!

Now Wells Fargo can no longer be underestimated, but in the future, it will be a giant bank with a market value of $200 billion.

Ike said solemnly: "Boss, with the explosion of the Internet bubble, the entire Internet industry seems to be in the middle of winter, and with the intensification of globalization, the depreciation of the dollar has shown an unstoppable decline. To preserve value, you are bound to choose multiple investments.”

"Gold preservation is the first choice!"

"Buying real estate is also an option. Even in the United States, real estate cannot preserve its value, but at least it will make life better for many people."

"Similarly, as the dollar continues to depreciate, there is no shortage of savvy individual investors who will choose bank lending."

Having said this, Zu Ke suddenly realized.

As time passed, the dollar became more and more worthless.

In this case, many American citizens will of course choose a bank loan. Compared with the interest, they value how much they can take advantage of the bank.

Of course, banks are also happy to let people take advantage, and they can get more returns by running the money.

It's a win-win!

Zucker pouted and said: "Wells Fargo is a chicken thief! It is now expanding its strength by acquiring our bank, which can ensure that they make more money, tsk tsk tsk~"

I can do it too.

At this moment, this concept popped up in Zucker's mind, and he also thought of the subprime mortgage crisis a few years later.

Real estate, banks, and Wall Street investment banks are not the focus of the crisis!

Zucker couldn't help but rejoice, "It seems that in the near future, my California Standard Bank will also usher in a big wave of growth!"

Of course, Zucker didn't want to miss out on this kind of benefit.

"I don't dare to expect that the market value of Standard Bank of California will exceed 200 billion US dollars in the near future, like Wells Fargo, but 10 billion US dollars is no problem."

......

a few days later.

April 10.

With a huge amount of cash in hand, Zucker finally reached the investment project after the Internet bubble.

600 million US dollars into the Mars company, grabbing 6.1% of the shares from the Mars family.

Dove, Snickers, Wrigley...

Mars will be able to own many world-renowned snack brands in the future, and its market value has exceeded 100 billion US dollars. There is no doubt that this investment by Zucker is definitely worth the money.

Even in the future, with the continuous mergers and acquisitions of Mars, Zucker's shares will be diluted, but there is no problem at all with a profit of more than 10 times.

......

April 13.

Zucker invested $100 million to become a shareholder in X.c, taking a 30% stake.

X.c company, it is an online transaction and payment company, similar to Alipay, in today's star-studded Internet payment software, X.c company is in the middle.

"Many people say I'm at a loss!"

"However, I firmly believe that I earned it!"

X.c company has not yet been listed, and it is not a particularly powerful Internet company, but when it comes to its boss, there is something to say!

- Elon Musk!

Elon Musk is the founder and boss of X.c. In the future, he will also become the boss of SpaceX and Tesla Motors.

A super boss with a personal net worth of more than 50 billion US dollars.

"X.c Company is in the middle of today's Internet payment software and is inconspicuous. But I, Zucker, are a traveler!"

In the near future, X.c will merge with Confinity, another payment software company, to become a new payment company;

In 2001, this newly merged payment software company will be officially merged into PayPal, an international trade payment tool;

In 2020, PayPal has become one of the largest payment software companies in the world, and it is also a giant company with a market value of more than 200 billion US dollars.

"PayPal merchant, Alipay in the United States, how can I lose money?" Zhu Ke was very thirsty.

The fifth update of "" was delivered, and the owed chapters were finally filled.
