Chapter 1903 Help Me Buy some Apple Shares

On the private Gulfstream plane flying to Seattle, in addition to Yin Jun and his party, there was also Colauti.

This time Yin Jun went to Microsoft headquarters in Seattle to discuss office software and stock allocation with Bill Gates.

Colauti took Yin Jun's plane to discuss IPO underwriting with Microsoft.

In the previous life, the investment bank that negotiated the IPO listing with Microsoft was Goldman Sachs, but it was not Colauti who did the actual operation.

Thinking about Colauti's previous life, he probably didn't work hard in this area because he didn't meet Yin Jun.

After all, Goldman Sachs' tentacles cover every corner and industry of the world. There is a lot of business to do, and there is not much competition.

But Goldman Sachs is not all in peace either.

There are often overt and covert struggles among the senior partners of Goldman Sachs, and many of them are competed by rivals from the same company.

It’s not like there are no Goldman Sachs partners, or even senior partners, who jump off the building every year.

The benefits and rewards these investment banks provide to company executives are very generous, but once the backlash occurs, it will be fatal, really fatal.

Foreigners don't have the old saying that ants live in vain. If they fail, they will just end it. There are too many times.

Colauti in this life is obviously very lucky.

Since starting to cooperate with Yin Jun, his position at Goldman Sachs has become stronger day by day, and his power and wealth have also increased.

Even the listing of Microsoft, the largest IPO in history, fell into his hands - who said his partner Yin Jun was the largest shareholder with 50% of Microsoft shares? Who can be more effective than him?

Of course, Yin Jun has brought him so many benefits, Colauti must also work hard to plan for Yin Jun's interests, so that the cooperative relationship between the two will last long.

After all, Yin Jun was not the only investment bank friend of his. Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers had also done many acquisitions for Yin Jun.

If Colauti still wanted to dominate the Kirin Group alone before, now facing the Kirin Group with assets of more than 50 billion US dollars, he no longer has such unrealistic ideas.

He just wanted to have the fattest piece of meat, and that was enough.

"The talks at 7-11 are almost complete. The board of directors of Southern Company feels that our bid of 400 million has met their expectations. And the management of 7-11 has seen your expansion and consolidation plan, as well as your plans for I'm very reassured by their arrangement." Colauti told Yin Jun, "All negotiations should be completed by April at the latest. Including all expenses, including our commission, the total expenditure is estimated to be 500 million."

"It's really profitable to be an investment bank." Yin Jun said with a smile, "If Goldman Sachs goes public, I might consider buying some shares of Goldman Sachs."

"If you are willing, I will definitely pay attention to it for you when the time comes." Colauti responded eagerly.

Goldman Sachs is not a listed company yet. It is a joint-stock company, but it is different from ordinary joint-stock companies. The system of partners and senior partners makes the company's equity very complicated and difficult to figure out.

In a simple sentence, it is like a complex of 1,000 people each with a $10 million project, in order to have a big skin and unite to deal with difficulties.

If these people take away all their capital projects, Goldman Sachs will become an empty shell.

This is also the main reason why Goldman Sachs did not go public in 1999 until 140 years after its founding - it took four or five years just to sort out the assets, as well as the partners' withdrawal of capital and retention.

But even if Goldman Sachs were to go public, Yin Jun would not buy its original shares, even if he could buy these stocks that rose as soon as they were listed.

The reason is too simple.

Goldman Sachs has a very bad reputation.

Although he can't see it now, after 2008, he was a stinker on the street and he has never been able to turn around.

Even though Yin Jun could leave before 2008, in that Internet era, people can go back to the past.

If they were to find out that Yin Jun had actually been a shareholder of Goldman Sachs for a while, and that he had a share of all the dirty money Goldman Sachs made, would they still have to scold him to death?

Especially those European and American media, I am afraid that they will direct people's most important attention and directly transfer the disaster to Yin Jun.

With Yin Jun’s talent and future memories, what kind of money can’t be earned?

Not to mention billions of dollars in profits, even tens of billions or hundreds of billions of dollars are already within easy reach for Yin Jun.

Not to mention the Microsoft and search engines in our hands, the three companies of 1999, 1999 and 2018. Together, these three companies are worth 1 trillion U.S. dollars.

Therefore, the young man is just talking about it now and has no intention of buying shares.

If the American company 7-11 can acquire it for a total price of US$500 million, it can already secure 60% of the shares of 7-11.

The future market value of 7-11 is definitely worth US$350 billion.

In addition to the US$630 million spent to acquire most of 7-Eleven's assets a few years ago, plus the money invested in Hong Kong and Thailand, Yin Jun can obtain US$210 billion in shares at an overall price of no more than US$5 billion. No matter how you calculate it, it's a huge profit.

The most important thing is that Yin Jun has also cultivated a group of talents for convenience store purchasing and operation.

In the future, if we merge them with people from supermarkets, we can directly create an enhanced version of JD.com in China.

Isn’t the future JD.com the online version of 7-11?

After passing through his thoughts, Yin Jun pondered for a moment, "By the way, when you go back, remember to help me buy Apple shares in the market."

"Apple?"

Colauti was stunned and asked again.

"Yes, this is the company founded by Gang Leader Qiao." Yin Jun said.

"But Gang Leader Qiao has already made Apple a mess, and he will soon be dismissed as CEO." Colauti said, "Apple will be finished soon, they are not as good as your Kirin Computer It’s valuable! Do you know the valuation that Morgan Stanley gave Kirin Computer last year? 3 billion US dollars! It’s higher than Microsoft!”

Microsoft's valuation is approximately US$1.5 billion, which is indeed not high.

Its real outbreak will only come after WIN95, when it will dominate almost all window systems.

But Kirin Computer is different. In the second year after its establishment, its overall sales exceeded 2 million units and its sales exceeded 6 billion US dollars.

And with the current development speed of computers, it is possible for sales to double this year. The capacity of the entire market has been estimated to be around 100 million units.

Therefore, the development potential of Kirin Computer is very promising, and it is reasonable to give a valuation of US$3 billion.

If it were to go public, it would have to rise to at least over US$5 billion.

It is really unimaginable that Yin Jun already has the best cornucopia in his hands, but he wants to buy a big ship that is about to sink.

Ye Linqinwa, who had been listening silently, also showed a curious expression.

She is not doubting Yin Jun. This Czech flower has become Yin Jun's little fan girl and admires Yin Jun very much, so she thinks that Yin Jun must have his own deep meaning.

"Apple actually has a lot of good things. Their operating system and graphical interface processing are all very good things." Yin Jun said, "Not to mention the thousands of patents they own. Apple's Computers may not be sold, but these patents are good things."

"So, you are going to buy Apple, peel off these patents, and then sell the stocks in your hands?" Colauti said smartly.

"We've been together for so long, am I the kind of person who can do things right?" Yin Jun shook his head, "I said this to say that I am very optimistic about Apple's rebirth, so I hope that at this time, I can succeed at Apple. When the market price is the lowest, buy more stocks and wait until 20 or 30 years later. It will definitely be a great wealth!"

Yes.

In human history, Apple is the first company with a market value of over 1 trillion US dollars. Do you think Apple is awesome?

The current share price of Apple is less than 3 US dollars. After Qiao Gangzhu and Apple have a falling out, it will fall to 2 US dollars.

What does Apple’s stock price of $2 per share mean compared to Apple’s peak price of $665 per share and its peak price of $208 after being divided into 10 shares?

A full 1,000 times increase!

Wouldn't Yin Jun be a fool if he missed this opportunity?

As long as he holds these shares, Yin Jun will not be moved even if Apple continues to plummet and rise again.

At most, when the market value is 1 trillion US dollars, we can sell part of it to cash out and use it elsewhere.

Hearing Yin Jun's plan and remembering the wonder of every investment made by Yin Jun, Colauti nodded slightly.

"Well, I will help you buy it after I go back." Colauti said, "I suggest that after Gang Leader Qiao is dismissed from his position, it will be cheaper to buy Apple stock."

"Everything is left to you." Yin Jun agreed. Goldman Sachs is one of the most professional companies when it comes to acquiring stocks and companies and is trustworthy.

"How many shares are appropriate?" Colauti asked again.

"About 20%." Yin Jun said, "Don't be too much, otherwise they will cause some shock."

"20% is not a lot!" Colauti laughed, "Now Apple has been able to fight back for a while, and there are geniuses who have never failed to invest in Apple. Isn't this a huge gimmick? It seems I can’t let them take advantage.”

The same is true for companies in the United States that acquire shares. When a certain amount is reached, they must be announced to the public.

But Wall Street elites like Colauti had many ways to make Yin Jun achieve his goal before announcing it to the public.

You can even hide it until it is useful.

This is the difference between ordinary people buying stocks to make money and relying on God's will, and wealthy people who can manipulate stocks at will to make money.
