Chapter 1684 Inauguration Ceremony (2)

Hearing Li Mu say that he wants to sell Weibo and Twitter, Bill Gates thinks he is kidding himself.

Weibo and twitter are in full swing now, making all Internet and IT companies envious. Who would be willing to sell it?

So he said to Li Mu unhappily: "Mr. Li, you are too good at joking, selling hens like Weibo and Twitter that lays golden eggs can't be your style!"

Seeing that Bill Gates didn't believe in himself, Li Mu said seriously, "Mr. Gates, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. Look at the business under my hands. Which one is not the hen that lays the golden egg?"

Bill Gates' expression was a little ugly.

He felt that Li Mu was here to show off.

Or rather, to show off and provoke.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Li Mu said again, "Mr. Gates, although what I said was a bit strong, but that's what happened, are you right?"

Bill Gates laughed and said, "Yes, yes, Mr. Li has super high-quality projects in his hands, and each of them is a hen that lays golden eggs."

Having said that, Bill Gates thought about it himself, Li Mu didn't seem to be bragging.

What business do you say he doesn't make money from? I made a few small games of farming and fighting zombies, and as a result, they became popular all over the world and made a lot of money. Even my wife was carrying money on her back to buy props.

Not to mention the rest of the large-scale business, yy can make money just by relying on value-added services. With its nourishment, other branch businesses are not only large in scale, but also have money to make.

At this time, Li Mu said again: "To be honest, Mr. Gates, if the chickens in the family are reluctant to kill, then you lay too many eggs and no meat to eat, right? Take me for example, you must see my worth. It's not low, but I don't have much money in my hand."

After speaking, Li Mu sighed and said, "I'm different from you. For example, we are both worth 50 billion US dollars, and your actual assets account for at least half of it. What about me? I'm all about valuation, all of which are company shares. You don’t have much cash in your hands! Unlike you, Microsoft has been listed for so many years, and you keep reducing and cashing out, all of which have been exchanged for money.”

Bill Gates smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Li is modest. Your actual worth is at least several times that of mine."

"It's boring." Li Mu waved his hand and said, "It's useless how much I am worth, I want to hold several billion dollars in cash in my hand, so that I can buy things, buy things, buy things, buy the sky, buy the land and buy the air, but I have ? No.

"

Bill Gates said: "You can slowly reduce the shares in your hand after Makino Technology goes public, and cash out a little bit."

"That's too slow." Li Mu said, "In order to stabilize the stock price, Nasdaq will not let me reduce my holdings on a large scale. I can only do it little by little."

Bill Gates added: "Then you can trade equity privately, such as when the market value is 100 billion US dollars. You can sell 10% of the shares to big capital for 7 billion or 8 billion US dollars."

Li Mu said: "Then I will lose 2-30%?"

Bill Gates said lightly: "If you want to cash out quickly, this is the price of fast cash out. It's quite reasonable. If you can find capital that is particularly optimistic about you, the price can still be raised for a part."

Li Mu waved his hand: "It's boring, I don't like being taken advantage of by others."

After speaking, Li Mu said again: "So back to what I said just now, I have so many chickens that I ordered at home, but I don't have any chicken to eat. Why don't I choose one and slaughter it for meat."

Bill Gates asked in surprise: "Do you want to sell Weibo and Twitter now?"

"Wait a minute." Li Mu said: "I think we will sell Weibo and Twitter in the second half of next year, but if the price is right, you can make an advance." Yes, after the listing, the financial disclosure is very restrictive. If you directly sell Weibo and Twitter for some money, you may be restricted, and you will distribute profits to the shareholders at that time. "

Li Mu said, "Why is your head so solid?"

Saying that, he gestured and said, "Look, before I go public, I will take out Weibo and Twitter and set up a separate company. At that time, the share structure of Weibo and Twitter will completely replicate the current share structure of Muye Technology. , completely separated from the direct relationship with Muye Technology."

Bill Gates said in surprise: "Do you want to spin off Weibo and Twitter from Muye Technology first, and then let Muye Technology go public?"

Li Mu nodded: "Yes, in this way, I sold Weibo and Twitter and directly divided the money into my own pocket, no one can control me, and Nasdaq has no right to interfere with how I deal with another one that is not listed. s project."

There was a glint in Bill Gates' eyes, and he said, "This is a suitable operation, but do your shareholders agree?"

Li Mu said with a smile: "My company is absolutely controlled by me, and other shareholders have also agreed to act in concert with me. The company's grand strategy is entirely up to me."

The fire of Bill Gates' desire to socialize was once again ignited by Li Mu's few words.

He thinks that Weibo and Twitter are a very good platform. If you can make such a platform, you can say that it is a great achievement in social networking. If you can win this platform, and then use this platform to incubate some other products and projects, you will have it. May come up with an ecology.

So, it's worth it...

So Bill Gates asked Li Mu: "Mr. Li, what is the intended sale price of Weibo and Twitter, can you tell me easily?"

Li Mu said with a smile, "I'm not sure about this either. Let's mainly look at the situation next year. When it sells, we will add a certain percentage of the premium to the market valuation. After all, you know that this platform is still very good."

Bill Gates nodded, already yearning in his heart, he said to Li Mu: "Mr. Li, if you are ready to take action, you can contact me. I like the product of Weibo and Twitter very much."

Li Mu laughed and said cheerfully, "Yes, we can communicate more when the time comes."

Bill Gates feels that if Li Mu really wants to sell Weibo and Twitter next year, he must find a way to take it down, and then take the opportunity to develop Microsoft's social network. Moreover, with Weibo and Twitter, news platforms can also be hatched.

Bill Gates believes that by that time, Li Mu will regret selling Weibo and Twitter.

Li Mu was also thinking in his heart that he would sell Weibo and Twitter to Microsoft at a good price. As soon as the money came in, he would immediately go to Facebook and kill Weibo and Twitter.

He believes that by that time, Bill Gates will regret his bowels.

...

The lights at the scene suddenly dimmed, and all the lights were aimed at the stage and the red carpet leading to the stage. Then, the exciting background music sounded, and the inauguration ceremony was about to begin.

Li Mu and Bill Gates, two people with different ideas, also focused their attention on the inauguration because they ended the chat.

A man's voice said excitedly: "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming to this grand and solemn ceremony, and now, let us welcome the 38th Governor of California, United States of America, Arnold Schwarzenegger grid!"

There was huge applause from the scene, and then the spotlight turned to the end of the red carpet, Arnold Schwarzenegger wearing a suit, smiling, strode to the stage.

Following him were his wife and the California senator.

When they stepped onto the stage, the lights of the audience turned on instantly, making the whole scene as bright as day.

According to American tradition, at the very beginning, it was the inaugural prayer, and the person in charge of the prayer was said to be a bishop of California.

After the tedious and long prayers ended, it officially entered the stage of taking the oath of office.

The high-spirited Schwarzenegger read the oath aloud while pressing the Bible.

Later, the bishop officially announced: "Mr. Schwarzenegger, congratulations on becoming the 38th governor of California, I hope California can have a more long-term development under your rule!"

Schwarzenegger was also very excited. After nodding, he walked to the podium and started his inaugural speech.

Schwarzenegger said excitedly: "At this time, my hands and feet were shaking with excitement. I never thought that a boy born in Austria could one day become the governor of California."

"Here, I want to thank America, the American people, my parents, my wife, and my friends."

"In particular, I would like to thank Mr. Li Mu Li, who came from Huaxia thousands of miles away. He may be the most outstanding entrepreneur in the world. After learning that I would be the governor of California, he immediately decided to promote the deep cooperation between California and Huaxia. I believe that it will not take long for both parties to achieve real mutual benefit and win-win cooperation.”

"Of course, I am most grateful to the people of California. Because of your trust, I can stand here and become the 38th governor of California. At the moment when I take the oath of office, I want to say to the people of California: I officially Give up my governor's salary, that is to say, from the moment I take office, I will not receive any form of remuneration from the California government. At the same time, I also hope that everyone can believe that I will do my best to make California better, I will do my best to make California more prosperous and richer! I will use my practical actions to make me worthy of the votes of each of you!"

The applause broke out from the audience, and the thunder lasted for a long time.

Schwarzenegger stood in front of the podium and accepted the applause from the audience with a smile on his face.

At this moment, he felt that the whole person was like a spring breeze.

Before this moment, he always thought that this moment would feel very good, but he didn't expect it to be so good.

The whole of Hollywood is cheering for him, and the whole of Silicon Valley is the same. Even Li Mu, who is worth hundreds of billions of dollars, came to the scene to celebrate for himself. At this moment, he is not only the most dazzling person in this hall, but also the most dazzling in California. character!

Schwarzenegger is high-spirited and can't wait to realize his political ambitions immediately and use his talents to run California to the best of his ability.

At this time, he was somewhat depressed.

Depressed because he is not a native American born.

This also means that he will never be able to run for president of the United States...
