Chapter 474: Purpose of Alibaba Shares and Goldman Sachs

Goldman Sachs is the most profitable and powerful investment bank in the United States. Turns out it was just a small money hawk run by a wagon driver, but under the operation of a generation of partners, it used to be one of the world's top investments, and even the US government was very pleased with Goldman Sachs. Several presidents served as US finance ministers, calling for rain in the world.

Since then, Goldman Sachs investment has been fast and accurate, with few failures. It seems to always be the lucky one who wins the lottery, but it misses one of the biggest orders for oil and water - Alibaba IPO, Alibaba has also become one of the biggest losers in Goldman Sachs Group's global investments, none of them.

In October 1999, Goldman Sachs invested $5 million in its first round under the docking of a senior Chinese executive from Goldman Sachs. It was this precious $5 million that helped Ma Baba survive the most difficult period of early entrepreneurship and made Ali famous from then on, which led to the story of Soft Silver Sun Justice.

Goldman Sachs eventually took 50% of Alibaba's shares for $5 million!

The disillusionment of the global Internet bubble ensued, and Goldman Sachs became suspicious of the Internet.

In 2004, Goldman Sachs began selling the Alibaba fraction of its shares at $22 million, equivalent to seven times the purchase price. But in contrast, investors who bought shares from Goldman Sachs eventually became the biggest winners.

Alibaba proved to be the biggest loser in Goldman Sachs Group investments.

As the world's smartest and most awesome investment, Goldman Sachs looked away, got up early in the morning and rushed into the evening, accomplished Ali mythology, but couldn't see Ali selling at a lower price in the early stages of Ali, and eventually missed the head award to receive a consolation award. It was also a huge dig.

Andy, knowing this history, naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity, but he couldn't be sure if Goldman Sachs still had Ali's shares, and he had to try to make a sudden inquiry. Pierre and Buffett both had a little bit of a 13, and the scene was silent for a few dozen seconds, and Pierre looked at Buffett and said, “Well, there's one, but it's suspected of plagiarizing Ibe, and we sold more than 30 percent of the shares back and forth, and now we have 10 percent left. ”

“The name of the company is Ali, right? I want to buy those shares. I don't know what your offer is.” Andy smiled with the sunshine on his face, turning down the club in his hand and handing the club to the toddler in a friendly manner, he said to Pierre.

If this share can be taken now, then Li Xiaoying, who was sent to the rabbit country, will have enough ground and entry points to work in the rabbit country and, of course, could use this as an opportunity to get more shares in Ali.

“Wow, Andy, you're interested in the rabbit country's e-commerce too? You know, it was just a copy of Amazon's Rabbit State Internet company, and one of our Chinese executives hosted the investment, and most of our shares were sold at seven times the price. You know, Alibaba is doing well now, and the price is not cheap.” Pierre's eyes sparkled with colour, his mouth smiled, he put the golf ball on the ball holder, stood up, and if there was a deep look at Andy, he said.

Tory, the assistant who stood aside, saw the harmless sunny smile on the boss's face. He couldn't help but mourn for the other side. He was such an idiot. The Great Demon King showed this sunny smile every time, mostly in order to lower the other side's guard, it was sooner or later to be pitted...

“I look forward to the future economic development of the rabbit country, so I will set up an investment bank in the rabbit country. The newly established company always has to have a foothold to open the situation. Ali is a good entry point, $100 million. I want some of the remaining shares. I don't think you Goldman Sachs will refuse this business? ”

Andy is not worried about Goldman Sachs rejection, nor is he worried that they will start the price on their seats. After all, Ali's visibility in the United States is not working, and he is despised for holding his Amazon hat against the hill.

If Buffett looked at Andy's pale face thoughtfully, he didn't know IT because he didn't, so he would never touch it, but what difference should there be in a company that could be valued by this amazing kid in front of him?

Pierre leaves his mouth open, stands up, poses, swings hard.

“Pfft."

“Good price, I'll go back and discuss it with you, I think our first cooperation will be a pleasant success!” Pierre doesn't care about an exotic cottage e-commerce, he cares about building friendships with a strong background, holding huge amounts of cash, and a genius Andy.

“Of course, my people will contact you as soon as possible, the company in Rabbit Country has been set up and the people are preparing, I think Ali's shares are a good gift, at least we have a place in Rabbit Country, or you are a big transnational investment, the world is unobstructed. ”

Andy just smiled slightly and wasn't thrilled to be able to buy Ali's shares. His current mentality was increasingly thinking of a real billionaire, whose wealth slowly became an essential part of his life, a man who used wealth rather than a tool that was bewitched and dominated by it.

“Oh, Andy, I hear you're about to make a big move? I wonder if we at Goldman Sachs can help you.” Pierre saw and Andy's initial contacts had been productive, asking while the iron was pounding.

Andy shook his head smiling and shrugged his hands at Warren Buffett, who smiled at him with the same smile on his face, and said, "It seems that there are really no secrets on Wall Street. The so-called secrets are just a matter of time and sequence that different layers of people need to know. ”

Warren Buffett held onto the club, squatted down and set the ball, and slowly stood up and laughed: “I told you Wall Street was watching you, and you were also curious that the first company you chose to acquire would actually be Marvel Entertainment, and it seems that Hollywood said you wanted to be the King of Copyrights story instead of speculating. ”

Andy looked at Pierre with a helpless smile, "You're not all that idle, are you? Why are you staring at me? ”

“Ha ha ha, who made you appear so unexpected and stunning? With almost 6 billion assets created in a year, I don't think anyone will ignore you, you've been successful, seemingly useless things, and you've been researching and speculating that you're layout, Andy, that we at Goldman Sachs are willing to be your friend to help you with your future acquisitions, and that any IPO listed for your company, we at Goldman Sachs want to be your preferred IPO underwriter! ”

Pierre's expression said to Andy seriously and made Andy understand what Goldman Sachs really sees in him. It has to be said that Goldman Sachs' appetite is not ordinary and that his layout will have many companies listed for IPO, and what Pierre wants to do is build a good relationship with Andy now in exchange for a lot of commissions in the future.

“Pierre, you didn't tell me that you wanted me to introduce you to Andy for this purpose! ”

Warren Buffett's eyes looked sharply at Pilder, and there was no previous slight smile on his face, holding the club in his hand, and his tone was a little clear. He didn't want to offend Andy because of Pierre. After all, Andy was too young, and most importantly, he and Andy had established a good friendship.

“Oh, Mr. Buffett, don't be angry, I don't have any purpose, just to say that if it bothers you, I apologize... ”

Andy laughed, not interested at all in seeing if they were acting, but it was nothing, so he laughed and said to them, "Why not? If you really need it again. ”

It was noon when a golf ball was played and the three of them had a delightful lunch at a restaurant on the golf course. In the afternoon, Andy handed over the purchase of Alibaba shares to Li Xiaoying, future CEO of Rabbit Country Investment.

Andy is very satisfied with Li Xiaoying's work over this period, her small team is almost there, it is also time for Li Xiaoying to take them to the rabbit country, whether Ali, penguins and other large number of companies that will come to the United States to be listed are still in development, the KE demand for funds is imaginable, Soft Bank's Sun Jingyi let him rush into the top ten of the Forbes billionaire list by the Ali family alone, Andy has to say, future rabbit country explosion economic growth no one can imagine big cake, early entry, early benefit!
