Chapter 1152 The Opportunity Has Come!

Yin Jun hates the kind of job where business elites fly around.

This was the case in his previous life. Although the salary given to him by the rich second generation was not high, the advantage was that it was very stable. There was no danger of the rich second generation becoming poor in ten or eight years, so Yin Jun was very used to sitting in the office, working with the old people every day. Days accompanied by video data.

He is also very used to going to a fixed place to eat and exercise in a fixed place every day...

Yin Jun is still not used to the occasional trip out for a walk - the distance he thinks of is just the counties and towns around Wuhan that are less than a few dozen kilometers away.

When I came to Xiangjiang 42 years ago, the young man was originally very happy to be a creative otaku, but he didn't expect that he would be pushed to where he is now step by step. Many times he felt like he couldn't help himself.

He couldn't stop anymore. With the lives and fate of tens of thousands of people on his shoulders, Yin Jun couldn't stop. He could only move forward until they were given a greater guarantee.

So, now Yin Jun got on a plane to the United States without much plan.

This time the destination is Seattle.

The targets were two co-founders of Microsoft Corporation.

It would be wrong to say that Yin Jun has no plan. Yin Jun has simulated the Microsoft company dozens of times and is fully prepared for this meeting that will come sooner or later.

But one moment Yin Jun was still in love with Hong Gu, and the next day he had to leave the beauty's warm bed before dawn and rush to the United States. This was really a bit of a hassle.

But he had to come.

Colauti made 13 calls to Yin Jun in three days. The matter had reached a very critical moment. If he, the direct buyer, did not come forward, it would definitely be impossible.

Because Yin Jun wanted Microsoft shares, Colauti sent a team to maintain close contact with the small company. He himself also visited Bill Gates and Paul Allen from time to time.

Yes.

Compared to Goldman Sachs, Microsoft is a very small company, a very inconspicuous software company.

Even Bill Gates' mother is a financier, but compared to Colauti, a senior partner of Goldman Sachs, she is a bit lower.

Not many people in this world can stop what Goldman Sachs wants to do.

Even Paul Allen and Bill Gates have no plans to sell their Microsoft shares, at least not yet, but after more than a year of contact, everyone is already very familiar with him, and they are also very familiar with Yin Jun. I feel a little admired and surprised by Yin Jun's achievements in the past few years.

Don't doubt it.

Although they are not in the same industry, Yin Jun started from scratch and now has a net worth of tens of millions. It is completely the most standard American dream.

Bill Gates and Paul Allen, who are both self-made, naturally admire Yin Jun and feel that he is a role model for them and others.

The two of them were also very proud of the idea that Yin Jun had taken a fancy to Microsoft, a small company among thousands of companies, and actively wanted to invest in it to obtain shares.

It is said that this talented young man has amazing vision, so his Microsoft must have great development prospects in the future.

Microsoft's current scale is actually still very small. Their biggest business is still producing software for companies such as IBM to earn income.

Last year's turnover in 1981 was just over 20 million US dollars.

Of course, you say it's small, but it's still a lot. Their net profit reached more than 1 million US dollars. Adding in the profits of the previous two years, Bill Gates and Paul Allen have become out-and-out millionaires. .

Precisely because their little life was very comfortable, the two of them were doing software services for other companies on the one hand, and developing their own software operating systems on the other. Everything was in order, without any chaos, and there was no need to raise money for development. idea.

Even Colauti raised the purchase price of 30% to US$6 million!

This values ​​Microsoft at US$20 million!

In fact, the valuation given to Microsoft by other institutions is only about 10 million to 15 million US dollars.

The price was almost doubled, but Paul Allen and Bill Gates still had no intention of letting go, which made Colauti helpless.

It is impossible for him to force Microsoft to submit by contacting IBM and canceling Microsoft's contract.

IBM is not a small company that can be easily manipulated. This company known as Big Blue has a lot of technology and energy in the security interests of the United States, and its foundation is very stable. Even Goldman Sachs is not willing to provoke them.

It just so happens that Bill Gates' mother has a good cooperation with IBM and has served as a director in IBM. Therefore, at present, it is impossible for IBM to part ways with Microsoft.

Moreover, Yin Jun wouldn't let him use unconventional means. Since his employer asked so, and all the funds were provided by the employer, he could only wait slowly for the opportunity.

People who come from Goldman Sachs can move like a dragon, but they can also be very calm when waiting for opportunities.

As a result, after waiting for so long, he finally got the opportunity recently.

Members of Colauti's team discovered that Paul Allen frequently appeared in a hospital at the beginning of this year.

This group of people did not follow any rules. On the one hand, they reported it to Colauti, and on the other hand, they bribed the hospital staff and obtained Paul Allen's diagnosis and treatment information.

Yin Jun also knew about this, so he knew that Paul Allen was indeed suffering from a very serious illness just like in his previous life. If it continued like this, he would be in danger of dying at any time.

It is obvious which one is more important, life or money.

Therefore, after several examinations and treatments, Paul Allen knew that his illness must be treated with all his strength to have any hope of survival. Paul Allen immediately decided to leave Microsoft and save his life first.

But he can't leave so simply. First of all, how should he hand over power, how should he discuss future development plans with Bill Gates, and how should he protect his best interests if there is financing or something.

Then, Paul Allen also needs a lot of money to treat his illness, and this money is definitely not enough in the hundreds of thousands, but at least millions, or even more, not including the cost of nursing and recovery.

Under this situation, Paul Allen had no other way to raise so much money except selling his most valuable thing - his shares in Microsoft.

As for who to sell to?

At present, it seems that Yin Jun, who has been in contact for more than a year, is of course the most suitable.

If nothing else, Yin Jun was the most sincere and offered the highest price. They quoted the price based on the valuation of US$20 million.

Bill Gates also knew about Paul Allen's illness. After the two discussed it, he couldn't take the shares in Paul Allen's hands, so he could only agree with Paul Allen to sell the shares.

But how much to sell, how to sell it, and how the company will deal with the addition of a shareholder in the future are all very serious issues.

That's why Colauti called Yin Jun continuously and asked Yin Jun to come over quickly.

This business, which involves hundreds of millions of dollars, is actually very small, but it is still a business that Colauti has been eyeing for so long, and of course he cares about it very much.

When Yin Jun arrived in Seattle, it was already the afternoon of the second day.

After falling asleep in the hotel for three hours, Yin Jun got up. After washing up, he went to a dinner party with Bill Gates and Paul Allen in high spirits.

Colauti, who is very familiar with them, will also be present as a middleman and client, which can be regarded as a buffer for negotiations.

Colauti was waiting for Yin Jun in the car. When he saw him getting in the car, Colauti ordered to drive and said with a smile: "After working hard for so long, I finally have a result. But when I think about it, this is you The last commission I recently received, I suddenly felt a little reluctant to complete it.”

"There will be more business in the future, so you don't have to worry about every moment." Yin Jun also smiled, "Besides, these few businesses are enough for you to move up to the next level at Goldman Sachs, right?"

Disney and United Artists Film Company, which Yin Jun negotiated before, were packaged to Goldman Sachs, costing about 3 billion U.S. dollars in one go. Such a large deal has been relatively rare in the past two years.

Although the Japanese have become rich in recent years, they have not yet made great strides in purchasing overseas companies, especially American companies.

So now, a US$3 billion merger and acquisition is enough to make Colauti famous at Goldman Sachs.

Yin Jun said it quite politely. He did not say that Colauti's entire team made at least more than 100 million US dollars in these mergers and acquisitions!

This is all from Colauti's team and has nothing to do with Goldman Sachs. This shows how profitable it is to promote this kind of transaction.

In 1982, one business made a profit of 100 million. What else was there to be dissatisfied about?

Colauti also smiled, "It's a bit confusing, but I think it would be better if there is any good business."

"It can't be said that there isn't..." Yin Jun said thoughtfully, "What do you think of ABC TV News Network?"

Colauti perked up, "Master Jun, are you going to take action on it? Is it a holding or a sole proprietorship?"

"Sole proprietorship." Yin Jun said calmly.

I knew it!

Colauti's eyes shone with light.

ABC Television News Network, also known as the American Broadcasting Corporation, is one of the largest television news networks in the United States, with an overall market value of more than 2.5 billion US dollars.

If Yin Jun wants to acquire ABC, he must acquire it at a premium, and if it is wholly owned, plus delisting, etc., he must prepare at least US$3.5 billion!

Good guy!

This is really a big business!

Another big business comparable to Disney and United Artists Film Company!

If he can succeed in this business, the old men at Goldman Sachs will definitely not be able to stop him from moving forward in the company's sequence.

At that time, you can occupy a better position, mobilize more resources, and do more things! You can earn more wealth! !
