Chapter 2221 Is Equivalent to the Transaction of the Fifth Richest Man in the World
After Dream Snow went on sale, the negotiations on the transfer of APP STORE shares, after a week of arduous negotiations, finally came to fruition.
The negotiators from Apple and Samsung couldn’t help but procrastinate, and now Dream Snow has soared as everyone expected, and 40 million units were sold out in 8 minutes. How domineering and awe-inspiring is this?
Xiao Qi agreed to transfer APP STORE to Apple and Samsung, but the share transfer agreement has not been signed yet, and it depends on the negotiation conditions.
If the offer is too low, Xiao Qi will definitely not do it.
If the price is too high, the two companies are not happy.
But in fact, the price of APP STORE can never be lowered.
At the beginning of the share transfer of Dream Stars, because Citibank was waiting for the shares of Dream Stars to save lives, it gave a valuation of 300 billion US dollars that exceeded the market valuation. In fact, at that time, the reasonable market price of Dream Stars should be 250 billion Dollars up and down.
But because Citibank abruptly raised the price, those companies and individuals who bought shares in Dream Stars later had to pay according to the valuation of 300 billion U.S. dollars, which made Xiao Qi take advantage.
Of course, Xiao Qi is currently taking advantage, but judging from the long-term effect, these people are definitely worth their money.
You know, according to the previous example of Dream Pad, Dream Pad only sold 20% of its shares once, and never sold them again. Since then, the sales of Dream Pad and Dream Pad2 have continued to boom, but those shareholders have made a lot of money.
Therefore, the shares of Dream Stars may only be sold once, and you will not be able to buy them later. According to the profitability of Dream Stars, the valuation of 300 billion US dollars is not an exaggeration.
The profitability of APP STORE and its influence on the entire smart electronics industry are not comparable to Dream Pad and Dream Stars. Especially in terms of influence, the two combined cannot compare.
In January of this year. The three major rating companies rank and rate the current smart electronics industry. The first is APP STORE. In response, Morgan Stanley's valuation of APP STORE is as high as 400 billion U.S. dollars, calling it a "smart electronics industry". The overlord and core of the industry”, Goldman Sachs also holds the same opinion as it, and Goldman Sachs also gave a high valuation of 330 billion US dollars.
Fairy Company's negotiators, of course, calculated according to the highest 400 billion US dollars. But Samsung and Apple negotiators are naturally reluctant to do so.
For this reason, Apple and Samsung once again formed an alliance, often discussing together in private, how to suppress the lion of Fairy Company.
But no matter how much they procrastinate, they will naturally have no effect in the face of strong strength and facts.
Now that the sales results of Dream Snow came out, the three companies reached a preliminary agreement that afternoon.
At a valuation of US$380 billion, Fairy Company transferred 7% of APP STORE shares to Apple and 5% to Samsung. Apple has since become the second largest shareholder of APP STORE. With 12% of the shares, Samsung owns 10% of APP STORE shares, becoming the third largest shareholder.
Fairy Company still owns 78% of the absolute controlling stake in APP STORE. Of course, this is only on the surface. In fact, Mingxiang Holdings and Qicai Investment are the two offshore companies that hold the shares. They each own 39% of APP STORE shares.
Although both Qicai Investment and Mingxiang Holdings are Xiao Qi’s private companies, and Xiao Qi owns 100% of the shares, they are dispersed in this way, and they are covered by international offshore financial companies. In the circle, there are almost no people who don't know Qicai Investment and Mingxiang Holdings.
It is already a certainty that the two major companies, Apple and Samsung, will get the shares of APP STORE, and everyone already knew it last week.
Knowing the super high valuation of 380 billion U.S. dollars in APP STORE, what everyone is most concerned about now is. What a dear price Samsung and Apple are going to pay.
After all, Apple’s APP STORE shares are worth 26.6 billion U.S. dollars, and Samsung’s shares are also worth 19 billion U.S. dollars!
but. The two companies are very mature companies. If necessary, their board of directors are not inclined to give Xiao Qi cash, but want to use shares to pay. It is also to a certain extent, Shen Shen and Fairy Company cooperation relationship.
Xiao Qi didn't quite agree with this.
First of all, Apple's stock is of course good. Now it only has a market value of about 100 billion US dollars, but it will rise to 500 to 600 billion US dollars in the future!
But he has already obtained 10% of Apple shares. If it increases again, I am afraid that the boss of Qiao will be more prepared to prevent Xiao Qi from seizing power, and the U.S. government is definitely not willing to see Xiao Qi holding too much. Trouble, Xiao Qi will definitely be forced to spit it out in the future.
Samsung is another situation. Xiao Qi is not optimistic about the future development of Samsung. To be precise, Xiao Qi is not optimistic about the Samsung after Li Kunxi.
Companies and consortiums in Asia usually belong to the boss. The boss is wise and powerful, and he can naturally develop the company prosperously. Once the boss leaves and is replaced by another person, it is rare for these consortiums to have The glory days of yesteryear. ——For example, if you look at the modern conglomerate that was stronger than Samsung in the past, once the old man passed away, what will it look like now?
Don't look at Li Jianxi's sons and daughters who are all high-level executives in Samsung, but Xiao Qi has never seen what they are capable of from his previous life to this life.
Li Jianxi is already 67 years old, and his health is not very good. It is uncertain whether he can be in charge for another 10 years. Therefore, Xiao Qi holds a large number of Samsung shares. In terms of value preservation, it is not safe.
Therefore, Xiao Qi only emphasized that he wanted cash, and he didn't even want to count the supply of Samsung parts that he had done business with before in the transaction.
Faced with such a tough attitude, Samsung and Apple can only give in in the end.
But these are not too big a problem for them.
Due to the rapid re-emergence of IPOD, IPHONE and IMAC, Apple's cash flow has already exceeded 50 billion US dollars. This is also the most reassuring confidence in the financial crisis.
Samsung is a super conglomerate supported by the whole of South Korea. If there is no money, the money in the bank is their money. It is only 19 billion US dollars, and Samsung does not need to pay for it.
Therefore, Fairy Company reached an agreement on payment methods with Apple and Samsung.
Apple's US$26.6 billion will be paid in three months, and Samsung's US$19 billion will be paid in half a year.
Well!
Obtaining 45.6 billion US dollars in cash in one breath, Xiao Qi suddenly became the focus of heated discussions all over the world, and the object of envy and hatred of countless people!
"Among the top ten richest people in the world in 2007, Mr. Xiao Qi is of course the most well-deserved number one, but the owner of IKEA in Sweden, who ranks fifth, has 'only' 33 billion US dollars, which means that a deal of Mr. Xiao Qi now, He has created the fourth richest man in the world, after the fourth richest Mexican Dentsu tycoon Carlos. Combined with the previous GOOGLE, and the previous Cisco, YAHOO, etc., we have to sigh that the Internet age really created the super rich The best place!"
"Xiao Qi is really a profiteer. Although APP STORE is operated all over the world, because it is registered in a tax-free paradise, coupled with reasonable tax avoidance methods, he will never get less than 40 billion US dollars from this business in the end. ! I think this will be a blow to those honestly registered companies in the United States... or an inspiration?"
"What I'm concerned about is that the 2008 World Rich List, which will be released soon, shouldn't the 40 billion US dollars be ignored again? Xiao Qi also holds 78% of APP STORE shares and 80% of Dream Pad shares. , 70% shares of Dream Stars... My God, how much should I calculate! Adding his monstrous wealth in China, can this guy surpass Rockefeller 100 years ago and become a real 1 trillion US dollars super rich?"
"It took Xiao Qi less than 5 years from an ordinary high school student to become the richest man in the world, and the undisputed richest man in the world! His achievements are enough to make any entrepreneur in the world Ashamed of myself! What kind of talent is it that makes Xiao Qi so amazing?"
"Although we don't want to admit it, I still want to say that unless there is a big change, Xiao Qi's position as the world's richest man will probably last for decades! At least so far, we haven't found any Any company can pose a threat to Xiao Qi's Fairy Company! The sadness of not having an opponent, I wonder if Mr. Xiao Qi feels it now?"
"According to our latest information, Microsoft and the Qatar Assets Authority have already submitted a purchase application to Xiao Qi. Microsoft is willing to apply for the purchase of 5% of APP STORE shares at a valuation of 400 billion US dollars! The Qatar Assets Authority is even more willing to Purchase 5% of APP STORE shares at a valuation of 420 billion US dollars! This shows the development potential of APP STORE, which has long been recognized by discerning people all over the world! Congratulations Xiao Qi! Your ingenuity has brought you the most lucrative s return!"
