Chapter 775: Jeff's Choice
The place where Feng Yu lives is not as luxurious as Jeff imagined. * w.suimeng.lāMany rich people prefer more prosperous big cities, and then buy a manor on the outskirts of the city.
Although Seattle's climate is very livable and the environment is very good, there are no rich people who often live here except Bill Gates, who is more famous.
It is said that Mr. Feng is a shareholder of Microsoft. If Mr. Feng owns more than 10% of Microsoft's shares as rumored, then his net worth is at least billions of dollars. Think about Bill Gates, who didn't build it for more than five years. It is known as the number one smart manor in the United States. Mr. Feng lives in this kind of house, which can be regarded as very low-key.
"Mr. Feng, hello."
Jeff looked around, why didn't he see the hostess? Mr. Feng is so young, how come there is no woman in the family? Why did he only see a cook in her forties?
"Sit down, the food will be ready soon, can you use chopsticks?"
Jeff had a bit of embarrassment on his face: "I can try."
Feng Yu turned his head and shouted towards the kitchen: "Sister Zhao, prepare an extra set of western tableware."
"Thank you." Jeff bowed in thanks.
The meal was ready, Feng Yu sat at the main seat, Jeff sat on the left, and Ralph and Wilson sat on the right.
Sister Zhao's dishes basically didn't have soup, so she skillfully shared them with everyone, and then went outside to help her husband take care of the flower garden. When Mr. Feng was talking, she knew she shouldn't be listening.
The US is used to the meal sharing system, and Feng Yu respects other people's habits, but he really wants to say that it's okay to eat soup with a spoon, and eat vegetables with a spoon, that's what children do in China.
Putting a small piece of potato into his mouth with a spoon, Jeff enjoyed it: "Mr. Feng, Chinese food is really as wonderful as it is said in the legend. Putting potatoes and beef together is so delicious."
"It's good if you like it. If you have time in the future, you can come here often. Sister Zhao knows many different dishes." Feng Yu said with a smile. Satisfying the other party when entertaining guests is really a good mood.
"Definitely. Mr. Feng, I have something to tell you. The company's shareholders and directors seem to have different opinions on your shareholding." Jeff said shyly. He had boasted for three days before That's it.
"Really? What did they say?" Feng Yu asked with a smile.
"they said,
I want you to invest 25 million US dollars, and then give you 35% of the shares. "Several shareholders still support Jeff, so the power of the company will still be in his hands.
Before Feng Yu could speak, Ralph retorted: "Mr. Jeff, I remember that your company's registered capital is 30 million U.S. dollars, right? The boss invested 25 million U.S. dollars, so the company's total share capital should be 50 million U.S. dollars." Fifteen million dollars, the boss should be able to get 45.45% of the equity, 35%, how did you calculate it?"
Feng Yu smiled and said nothing. He also wanted to hear Jeff's explanation. This company has never been profitable, so how could it appreciate so much?
Or... Jeff doesn't want him to be a major shareholder either?
Jeff put down his fork and spoon, and explained: "Mr. Feng, Mr. Ralph, of course I know that this is an obvious premium capital injection. But although I am a major shareholder in the company, I am not a controlling major shareholder. They made I can't refute my decision."
Although Jeff is a major shareholder in Amazon, it only occupies one-third of the total share capital. This is already the most money he can spend. He also has other assets such as stocks and real estate, worth only five million US dollars. Right or left, he really doesn't have that much money.
What Ralph wanted to say, Feng Yu waved his hand to stop him: "Premium capital injection is also possible, but such a high premium is a bit unreasonable. You also said that your company's profitability is actually not high. Two Fifteen million dollars, I want 40% of the shares. You go back and tell those shareholders, if you agree, then sign the contract, and the funds will arrive on the same day. If you don’t agree, let them continue to find other Investors, maybe there are more generous investors than me."
Ralph stopped talking. The boss's intention to buy shares in Amazon was so obvious, of course he wouldn't try to persuade him. In the future, the shares of Amazon may also be handed over to him to take care of it. Who told the boss to only hire him as a secretary, and the boss doesn't like to do it himself.
Jeff was overjoyed: "Don't worry, Mr. Feng. If I can't get those shareholders to agree to this condition, I'm embarrassed to talk to Mr. Feng about investment again."
Feng Yu swallowed what was in his mouth, and asked curiously: "Is your relationship with those shareholders not very good?"
"The reason why they invested in my company at the beginning was because they thought that I was an Internet company and would definitely make money after I went public. But I am different from those Internet technology companies. Amazon is just a website that sells books. Of course, this is also an attempt, as Mr. Feng said, an online shopping mall. If selling books can make a profit, then other commodities should also be able to find a profitable model.”
"Can I understand me, if there is a chance, those shareholders will sell their Amazon shares?" Feng Yu asked.
Jeff was stunned for a moment: "Mr. Feng still wants to buy their shares?" Oops, in this way, wouldn't Mr. Feng's shares exceed 50%?
"Why not? This company is your dream, but I also like it very much. And those shareholders just want to make money in the name of Internet companies. In other words, they don't deserve to own Amazon stock. You tell me, Those directors in the company, who ever thought of selling their shares, I asked Ralph to talk to them, buy all the shares, and let those people go to hell."
What a great opportunity to become a major shareholder of Amazon and tie Jeff, Amazon's most important decision-maker, to his chariot. How could Feng Yu let this opportunity pass before him? In this way, Jeff still can't see that Feng Yu's purpose of cannibalizing Amazon's shares is to serve multiple purposes.
Jeff remained silent. Due to Feng Yu's investment, his shares in Amazon will be diluted. Now if Feng Yu buys the shares from other shareholders, won't Feng Yu become the controlling shareholder of Amazon?
Wouldn't this company become Feng Yu's final say in the future?
Feng Yu saw Jeff's worry, and said with a smile: "The legal representative of the company is still you. I will not interfere in the company's business decisions. You find someone to form the board of directors, and Ralph will be the supervisor. In the future, if the company The IPO goes public, and the executives can also award some stock.”
Jeff was seen through by Feng Yu, and smiled embarrassingly: "Since Mr. Feng said so, if I still object, I will be a little ignorant of current affairs. I will ensure that Amazon's business is getting better and better, and let Mr. Feng's investment , see the return."
Feng Yu raised his glass: "Then, I wish us success!"
Ralph, who will soon become Amazon's supervisor, raised his glass excitedly and said loudly: "I wish Amazon success!"
