Chapter 1665 Industrial Raw Materials (Part 2)
Chu Fei didn't want to talk to Guo Tailai anymore. A cut gem-quality diamond can be regarded as an industrial raw material, a typical straight man, and he can't even get angry with him.
Forget it, let's enjoy it slowly! Even if there are some irregular golden bumps, the golden ones look good too!
Guo Tailai didn't urge her, so he found a place to sit in the vault, watched Chu Fei touch here and there with a smile, immersed in a very happy atmosphere.
After wandering among the gold piles for a full four hours, Chu Fei felt a little hungry and a little tired, and then went out with Guo Tailai to take the elevator back to the top floor.
During the meal, Chu Fei seemed to have something on her mind, but she didn't say anything during the meal. It was only when there were only two of them that Chu Fei asked Guo Tailai worriedly, "What are you going to do with this gold?"
After all, she is Chuxiong's daughter, and after so many years abroad, she has cultivated some business concepts. The first thing Chu Fei thought of was how to deal with the gold. Putting it in the vault is just a pile of gold, which can be seen or eaten, and it is not as good as industrial raw materials. It does have a certain value-preserving function, but as a future strong woman, it is obviously not advisable to keep so much gold equivalent to cash of the same value in illiquidity. Even if it is a mortgage, it is better than putting it in the warehouse!
"A certain amount is sold every year." Guo Tailai didn't hide anything from Chu Fei, and quickly said: "It takes a few years or more than ten years to dispose of this gold. The cash sold is used for investment and consumption, after all, it will not be A miser only takes it and never lets it go."
"That's okay!" Chu Fei was slightly relieved knowing that Guo Tailai had a plan. Although Guo Tailai said that the higher-ups already knew about this batch of gold, such a large amount was still difficult, and Guo Tailai slowly disposed of it was the right way.
The topic changed to another place. After chatting for a while, Chu Fei suddenly felt very awkward. After being awkward for a while, she asked Guo Tailai, "Fatty, why don't I seem to be particularly interested in gold now?"
"Food is as sweet as honey when you are hungry, but honey is not sweet when you are full." Guo Tailai knew Chu Fei's mood, because Guo Tailai himself had such an experience, so he just said with a smile: "It is rare when there are no good things, but really When you have more diamonds, you don’t feel any more. Do you still have the initial excitement when you look at diamonds?”
"Yes!" Chu Fei replied decisively without hesitation.
"Huh?" Sister Shi's girlfriend actually didn't play the cards according to the routine, shouldn't it be the answer at this time? How can you be interested when you already have so many gem-quality diamonds on hand?
"Maybe it's not enough!" Chu Fei likes to see the expression on the fat man being teased by herself, with a happy smile on her face: "Or, you can also get a few hundred tons, and I'll see and look, and I won't feel much .”
Hundreds of tons of diamonds? Ordinary diamonds are calculated in carats, one carat is 0.2 grams, how much is a few hundred tons? The world's annual diamond production is only a dozen or twenty tons, right? Among them, the gem-level ones are at most one ton. As for the small gift-level ones that Mr. Ambani gave Guo Tailai, I am afraid that the global search is only a hundred and ten kilograms a year. How many tons? I am afraid that all the gem-quality diamonds in the world add up to not have the weight of gold in the vault, right?
"Naughty!" Of course, Guo Tailai also saw Chu Fei's sly smile, and was furious for a moment. He reached out and hugged Chu Fei, threw him on the bed and pushed him down: "You dare to tease me? Accept the punishment!"
The next morning, Guo Tailai got up refreshed and rushed to the studio to make preliminary preparations, preparing to receive the first large lens of the Large Magellan Telescope. The lenses have arrived at the port, and the customs clearance procedures have been completed, just waiting to be transported. However, such a large item requires special means of transportation and road closures for a specific period of time. Of course, the staff of the National Astronomical Observatory are responsible for these tasks, and Guo Tailai only needs to be responsible for receiving and processing.
Even if the large lenses are received, they need to be placed in a constant temperature workshop for at least 48 hours to eliminate the vibration residue during transportation and maintain a constant temperature. This kind of lens with extremely high precision requirements, Guo Tailai will treat it according to the highest standard when processing it.
The preparations are ready, just wait for the transportation from the port of Shanghai in the evening, Guo Tailai will return to the hotel in the afternoon, and Lin Jiayi still has some work reports.
Chu Fei was also there. She heard that Guo Tailai had an accident here, and she put down the promotion and branding of "Shen Xing" to rush back. She could only get together for a day or two, and she was reluctant to part for a moment, even when Guo Tailai was at work.
"Google plans to apply for an IPO early next year." Lin Jiayi reported on the listing of Google: "At present, more than 30 securities firms and investment banks are willing to underwrite."
In my original memory, Google seemed to be listed this year, but because of Guo Tailai's influence, it turned out to be next year. However, one thing has not changed, that is, Google is not short of cash at this stage. It still has at least one billion dollars in its bank account, but the stock is still sought after by people. Wall Street bowed its proud head. In fact, the purpose of Google's IPO is not to raise funds at all, it's just an IPO for IPO's sake.
In this IPO, Google's preliminary plan is to raise about $3 billion in cash. This also does not match Guo Tailai's memory. Although I don't remember the original number, it is definitely different.
"Now the valuation given by several big underwriters is 30 billion U.S. dollars, and there is still more than half a year to go. I believe that by the time of listing, the valuation can reach 40 billion or even higher." Lin Jiayi introduced the situation to Guo Tailai : "The company's top management is asking for our opinion."
"No problem." Guo Tailai smiled: "We are just investing in the company. IPO is beneficial to us, so we can do whatever we want. It doesn't matter if we need to sell shares in proportion, but try to eat some tradable shares after IPO. The more the merrier."
"Okay!" Lin Jiayi agreed without hesitation. Fatty spent 500 million U.S. dollars to buy a total of 10% of Google's shares. Even if it is listed next year, even if it is valued at the worst valuation of 40 billion, it is equivalent to earning eight times. The return on investment in a few years is 100% Eight hundred, is there a higher return on investment than this? No matter where it is placed, it is also a successful investment, right?
"How much did you invest in Google, Fatty?" Chu Fei asked curiously from the side.
"Ten percent!" Guo Tailai replied, turning his head and giving Sister Shi's girlfriend a smile.
"Wouldn't it be worth four billion dollars if I go public?" Chu Fei's eyes widened on the spot.
"Market value!" Lin Jiayi added from the side: "It's quite troublesome to cash out a lot, and it's not as easy to deal with as those gold. After all, gold is still an industrial raw material, right? Boss!"
