Chapter 821 New Investment Direction

"Boss, there are a lot of bad remarks about you in the company now, are you going to do something?" Ralph's face was bitter, and Feng Yu's status was shaken, which also had a great influence on him.

"Do I need to do anything? No matter how much I say, what can I do? I still have the final say on the Huaxia market, and I am still a shareholder and director of Microsoft." Feng Yu said lightly.

He wanted to do something, but what was the use? Give those who spread rumors a warning, or even expel them? If there are only one or two, then as a director, he can definitely do it, and Bill Gates will give him this face. But now many media are saying that, and almost everyone of those engineers is talking about this matter, can Feng Yu be fired?

After all, Feng Yu's power in Microsoft is still too small. Microsoft is Bill Gates' Microsoft, and only Bill Gates can speak clearly.

"Boss, did you really buy the Empire State Building?" Ralph asked curiously.

"I bought it in partnership with others, and I'm just the major shareholder." Feng Yu said relaxedly. When he was not in the United States, Ralph sent him emails to report his work every day, and Feng Yu was very satisfied with everything.

"Boss, can I have a chance to work in the Empire State Building one day?" Ralph looked forward.

"I've reserved an office for you. I'll send you the drawings for renovation later. If you're not satisfied, you can ask them to change it." Feng Yu patted Ralph on the shoulder and said.

Ralph was overjoyed: "Thank you boss, I will also work in the Empire State Building one day!"

Ralph's father had also been a good businessman and had rented an office in the Empire State Building. It's a pity that at the end of the 1980s, he committed suicide after his investment failed. This is Ralph's eternal pain.

Ralph swore that in his life, he would sit in his office in the Empire State Building again. He never thought that this dream would come true so soon!

"How is Amazon's recent development? How many shareholders have agreed to sell us shares?" Feng Yu asked while leaning on his chair while reading Microsoft's internal documents.

"Jeff sold his house and other securities, pooled a large sum of money, and increased his shareholding in Amazon to 21%. Not for sale. There are also two small shareholders who rejected it outright, they were the first to invest in Jeff, maybe Jeff told them something.”

"Yeah." Feng Yu nodded, "How much premium do those people ask for?"

It is certain to ask for a premium. After all, when he bought the shares, it was already a premium. But even if the premium is 100%, it won’t cost much. The important thing is Amazon’s shares and experience in the business model of this online mall.

"They seem to be united, and they all demand a 30% premium. I think we can break through each other, and we can negotiate a deal with a 15% premium at most, but I don't think it's possible to buy at a fair price." Lal The husband was a little embarrassed, he thought it was because he didn't do a good job.

"Let you form a small team by yourself. How are you doing?" The other big bosses are all secretaries or assistants. Feng Yu only hired Ralph. It is obvious that Ralph does not have enough energy to take care of such things. Multi-faceted.

"I found two good friends from the beginning, and invited two helpers from other companies, and now there are four people."

Feng Yu told Ralph, let Ralph form a team, and the salary will be paid by Feng Yu, how could Ralph refuse? Although it seems that more people will share his credit, it is less prone to mistakes and more efficient.

If he insists that one person can do everything, then if something goes wrong, it will be entirely his own responsibility, and there will be nothing at that time.

"Your workload will become larger and larger. If the number of teams is not enough, you will continue to recruit. You can talk to other shareholders of Amazon. The premium is no problem, but as you said, keep it below 15%. You can share 30% of the money that comes down.”

Ralph's eyes lit up,

The boss is really kind, that's a big bonus.

"Don't worry, boss, I will try my best to get the lowest price, and I will never let you down." Ralph patted his chest to express his loyalty.

"Is it stated in the documents of Microsoft's board of directors that directors cannot use Microsoft's stock as a mortgage?" Feng Yu asked.

"Microsoft does not have such regulations. Even if normal companies have them, they are limited to voting stocks. Boss, most of them are non-voting stocks."

Ralph was a little curious, why did the boss want a loan? Is there not enough money to buy Amazon?

But it doesn't matter. According to Microsoft's expectation this year, the stock will appreciate by at least 60%. Maybe in two years, the boss will be a super rich man worth tens of billions of dollars!

If the boss can invest in something and make a lot of money, according to the boss's usual style, he will definitely be given a lot of bonuses.

Feng Yu can't do without a loan, he doesn't have much working capital at all now. Not only did he donate a large amount of money this year, but he also bought the Empire State Building. He also wants to buy a villa in New York later. He also needs cash.

Besides, he won't lose money when he gets the loan. Investing in some popular stocks will definitely earn more than the interest. Using bank money to make money is the most correct way to invest.

In particular, Feng Yu knows that the U.S. stock market has been a slow bull market for the past few years, and most stocks will rise all the way. If you can catch some magical stocks, you may double your investment and earn back in less than a month!

Although Feng Yu didn't pay attention to those magical stocks in his previous life, Feng Yu saw a newspaper two days ago, which interviewed a Chinese network engineer. His name was Yang Zhiyuan, and the network company he founded with others was called Asia Tiger!

At the beginning of this month, Yahoo just went public, and Feng Yu felt a little regretful. How could he not have thought about investing in this most powerful Internet company before the Internet financial bubble?

If you think about it some time earlier and invest a sum of money, you will definitely make a lot of money. It would be even better if you can become a member of the board of directors.

But it’s not too late to know now. The stock price of Yahoo is less than 40 US dollars at this time. At present, Yahoo is still in a state of loss. Although it is sought after by people because it is an Internet technology stock, it did not have the time when Netscape went public. It was so hot, and the stock price didn't rise that fiercely.

Even if he can't join the board of directors, he can make a lot of money by buying as much as possible of the tradable shares of Yahoo. Waiting for the stock price of Yahoo to rise, it happened to be the beginning of 1997.

At that time, Feng Yu could still use this stock to borrow money, raise a large sum of money, and wait in Xiangjiang for those financial speculators who tried to take advantage!

"Hi, Miles, I'm Feng, and I want to mortgage part of Microsoft's stock loan." Feng Yu called the vice president of Citibank. When the Sixth Sense company stock was issued before, the cooperation between the two parties was quite satisfactory.
