My Age of Investment

  Chapter 324 Iron shoulders bear morality

   "Darren, can you give me a week? I need to make a comprehensive assessment."

  Milner looked solemn, which did not surprise Xia Jingxing too much.

  On the contrary, the other party only needs a week to investigate and think, which surprised him.

  It can also be seen from this that this is a ruthless character. Once you seize the opportunity, you will not delay, lest the opportunity slip away.

   "Okay, then we will talk again in a week."

  Xia Jingxing smiled and sent away Milner and the latter’s assistant, returned to the office, and began to read the company report.

  Lori knocked on the door and walked into his office, handing a bag of papers.

   "What is this?"

  Xia Jingxing asked while unpacking the document bag.

   "Just look at it."

  Luo Li found a seat in the office and sat down.

  Xia Jingxing opened the file bag and took a look. Inside was a pile of materials, and the cover page read "Bebo Net Investigation Report" and other big characters.

  Bebo.com, Xia Jingxing has some impressions. It is the largest social networking site in the United Kingdom. It once overwhelmed the foreign Juyou.com. It has more clicks than Amazon and BBC, becoming one of Facebook’s strong overseas expansion rivals.

  The expansion of Facebook outside the United States has not been smooth sailing, with many challenges.

  Xia Jingxing looked through the information on Bebo.com, and believed that this was only the first challenger, followed by a second and a third...

   Putting the information aside, Xia Jingxing asked, "Did you collect this?"

  Luo Li 151 replied: “It’s the little dog who has monitored the situation in the UK. Let me collect it for you.”

  Xia Jingxing was very pleased, the little dog is getting more and more in shape, and he is doing very well in the post of chief information officer.

  After that, Xia Jingxing and Luo Li held a meeting with the employees of the European branch, and arranged to explain them, especially instructing to pay attention to Bebo.com.

  After completing these tasks, he and Luo Li returned to San Francisco together.

  …………

  …………

  A week passed quickly, Milner returned a call to Xia Jingxing, agreed to Facebook’s tens of billions of dollars in valuation terms, and said that DST can invest up to 200 million dollars.

  So, Xia Jingxing convened all Facebook shareholders and opened a board of directors.

  "...That’s how it is. Russians are willing to accept our tens of billions of dollars in valuation, and they don’t need to issue new shares. They can accept the transfer of old shares."

  Xia Jingxing told all the directors of Milner’s terms, and looked at them.

  "The Russians really agreed? Or is it a valuation of 10 billion U.S. dollars?"

  Brayer’s expression is very wonderful. He is the one who handles this matter. He also found several friends before contacting DST.

  In his view, Russia is simply a desert of Internet investment.

  Unexpectedly, there are actually Russians who are willing to pay for it, and the price is 200 million U.S. dollars, and the valuation is still a peculiar 10 billion U.S. dollars.

  This world is crazy!

  From the bottom of my heart, Breyer does not approve that Facebook can be valued at 10 billion U.S. dollars.

  But the Russians are willing to agree to this valuation, which means that Facebook is worth this price.

  "Really 10 billion U.S. dollars? Did they mention any conditions? For example, a gambling agreement or a repurchase agreement?"

  Old man John didn’t believe it. Some time ago, the market quotes on Facebook were only 5 billion U.S. dollars. This doubled in a blink of an eye. It’s too magical.

   "Nothing is mentioned, as long as they can become shareholders of Facebook, they will be content."

  Xia Jingxing shrugged, "The request is that simple."

   "Really stupid, so much money!"

   Andrew exclaimed, and the fat on his face trembled with a smile.

  10 billion US dollars, he personally owns 4.5% of Facebook, that is 450 million US dollars.

  At that time, a total of US$250,000 was invested. How many times did this investment increase?

  The numbers have not been good since he was a child, but he quickly calculated it mentally, 1800 times!

  Originally, he only wanted to invest in Facebook to make some pension money. He felt that he might have embarked on the road of no return as a legendary investor.

  "Because you all hold preferred stocks, you should first choose this opportunity to sell for cash."

  Xia Jingxing looked at several shareholders and said lightly.

  Brayer, Old John, Andrew and others did not speak, but bowed their heads in thought.

  10 billion U.S. dollars is very tempting. Selling a small part of the equity can not only recover all the investment costs, but also make a lot of money.

  If you continue to hold, you may earn more.

  Brayer, who originally disliked the filthy money of the Russians, instantly felt that it was not filthy.

  Green and fragrant dollars are right in front of you, who can resist the temptation.

  It is not that he is not firm, but that the Russians really give too much.

  The reaction of several shareholders was completely beyond Xia Jingxing’s expectations.

  If DST is accepted as a shareholder in the form of issuing new shares, Breyer and others will definitely resist.

  From another perspective, let Breyer and other shareholders profit from it, the situation is different.

  "Who is the investor behind this investment institution called DST?"

  Old man John was the first to regain his consciousness and began to inquire about the foundation of DST.

  Breyer also realized the strong relationship inside, and said: "Yes, this must be paid attention to. If their money is unknown, there may be some trouble."

  Xia Jingxing nodded, “This is natural. DST’s shareholders are more complicated. In addition to the country’s steel tycoon Alisher Usmanov, there are also former business leaders of Goldman Sachs and New Century Holdings in the Moscow region.

  The investor is relatively single, and the main capital comes from Alisher. "

  Everyone is a little unfamiliar with this person. At present, the other party is not the richest man in Russia, so Xia Jingxing introduced this person again.

  Alisher is a native of Uzbekistan. He was born in 1953. He is a high-ranking cadre's son. After graduating from university, he joined the league and worked in the Union. He was detained for six years because of unjust, false and wrongful cases. He was only released from prison at the age of 33...

After being released from prison, he accumulated the first pot of gold by opening a plastic bag processing plant, and later became the general manager of Maoxiong Natural Gas Company, responsible for collecting debts for Gazprom.

  At that time, the alliance had disintegrated, and many Russian companies were in trouble and could only use capital to repay their debts.

  Using the convenience of work, Alisher acquired some steel mills and mines, and eventually became the co-holder of the Russian mining giant "Metal Investment"...

  Because of system reasons, it is very similar to the development path of some people who get rich first in China.

  When everyone heard this, they immediately understood. Isn’t this an oligarch?

  "He has a good relationship with the bear authorities?" Andrew asked.

   "Well, I am a very good friend with the emperor, and belong to a patriotic businessman."

  Xia Jingxing thought it was a bit magical.

  This Alisher has also done things like “buying cultural relics lost overseas and returning to Russia” and “supporting the Olympic team of his country”.

   also said, "As long as Russia needs it, I am ready to dedicate all I have to Russia, because I am a citizen of it, and I am proud of it."

  Hearing the name of the Great Polar Bear, all the shareholders scratched their heads.

  Old man John frowned and said, “Darren, I think it’s too sensitive, or change to another investment institution.”

   "If you change another house, you won't be able to buy old stocks of Facebook at a valuation of tens of billions of dollars."

   Breyer took the stubbornly and continued, "What age is it, everyone can't go to Russia with tinted glasses."

  The concepts of global village and economic globalization are popular now, regardless of which country’s capital it is.

  Moreover, DST does not need preferred stocks or voting rights. It only holds two stakes, which is nothing.

  The general leader has said that he welcomes capital and talents from all over the world to invest and find employment in the United States.

  Don’t be so narrow-minded. If you are worried about any infamy, just let the Axel family take care of it. "

  Brayer holds his head high, chests up, and looks like he is willing to go out for everyone, quite a moral demeanor with iron shoulders!
