Global monopoly of technology

During the luncheon, twelve Wall Street bankers accompany Luo Sheng to play on behalf of their investment banks, and the subsidiaries of the Blue Coast new energy car company also contained 20% of foreign investment.

Eight billion U.S. dollars is of course a huge amount of wealth, about 50 billion yuan, but it is not a huge amount for Luo Sheng. The new energy vehicle company established this time is only a start-up fund of 400. One hundred million U.S. dollars.

However, this group of Wall Street bankers were invited to Luo Sheng today, not just to invest the 8 billion US dollars.

As the luncheon went to the present time, Paul Watson of Goldman Sachs and the Executive Vice President of Morgan Stanley made eye contact.

"Mr. Luo, in fact, we have led 33 institutional investment teams to come this time. We hope to visit the headquarters of the Blue Coast tomorrow..." Paul Watson looked at Luo Sheng and said.

However, before he finished speaking, Luo Sheng rushed to answer: "I know, I know Mr. Watson, but I really don’t need to talk about this question. The Blue Coast company will not have any at present, including the long-term future. The plan to go public."

In the past three years, Luo Sheng has forgotten how many times these old friends on Wall Street have lobbied him about the IPO of the Cote d'Azur, and said when he had a chance to meet.

Several bankers at the meeting looked at each other. After a while, Paul Watson, who had two seats behind Luo Sheng, said with a disappointed look: "God! Mr. Luo, 33 institutions are joint underwriting sponsors of your company. What you rejected for listing on the New York Stock Exchange was a super financial team with a capital of up to 3.75 trillion US dollars."

Zhong Yuanhong who attended the meeting basically didn't say anything this time. He couldn't help but look at Luo Sheng and found that the other party was unmoved by this.

Other bankers are also helpless.

The current Wall Street really loves and hates Luo Sheng. He is always thinking about how to persuade Luo Sheng to list the Cote d'Azur company. Wall Street internal analysts expect that based on the current operating conditions of the Cote d’Azur, the current valuation is given to 450 billion yuan. In dollar figures, long-term valuations are technology companies with trillion-dollar market value potential.

There is no doubt that this is an astronomical figure. If the IPO roadshow is really carried out successfully, I am afraid it will break a new record in IPO history. Don’t be afraid, it will definitely be broken. Even if the $30 billion IPO public offering is completed, Wall Street will not be surprised. .

For Wall Street, the biggest problem is the inability to deal with the decisive figure of Luo Sheng.

With the end of the luncheon, the bankers who attended the meeting also left with gentlemen.

Luo Sheng sent these bankers away.

At the gate, Paul Watson suddenly stopped, turned his head and said to Luo Sheng who was standing in place: "Wall Street will not lobby easily."

Luo Sheng smiled and said: "OK, Paul, Goldman Sachs prepares a sum of money. The Côte d’Azur is about to issue the third round of corporate bonds. This time we are going to borrow $30 billion from Wall Street. I am a hard-core ally of Goldman Sachs. I will borrow as much subscription funds as I have."

Paul Watson couldn't help but stunned, and said humorously: "Wow, next time I will participate in lobbying."

The two sides shook hands again, as the smiling Luo Sheng inside Paul Watson turned back to the building, the smile on his face stopped abruptly, and when he walked into the door with no expression, he cursed in a low voice. : "The insatiable vampires of Wall Street are not satisfied with borrowing your usury every few days..."

There is no right or wrong in the adult world, there are only trade-offs between pros and cons.

...

Returning to the living and residential area of ​​the building, Luo Sheng said: "Xiaona, report the current status of the asset management list on the Riviera, upload it to my private server, and simply tell me how much money I have and what is the debt ratio?"

In a short while, Xiaona's voice echoed from the room and responded: "Master, the detailed list of the Azure Coast assets has been uploaded."

Luo Sheng opened a laptop and stared at the screen, and Xiaona continued: “The company’s current book cash divisions are in Europe, North America, and the mainland, with an amount of 27.7 billion U.S. dollars. The current debt ratio remains at 43.7%. High-quality assets."

Such a debt ratio is considered low for the Côte d’Azur. The company’s warning line for the debt ratio is 65%. The company’s debt-to-asset ratio should be kept within a reasonable range to be considered appropriate. The lower the better. If it is too low, It shows that the company's financing and investment capabilities are very poor, and the development of the company will also be restricted. If the debt ratio is too high, the risk will also increase.

If you say so, the development of the Côte d'Azur should not be very healthy, but in fact it is not the case. The debt ratio was already close to 50%.

However, the earning power of the Côte d’Azur company is becoming more and more horrible year by year. Because it is earning too much, it has hedged a lot of debts. Even if large-scale external debt issuance, the debt ratio is not going to go up...

Luo Sheng closed the laptop and said: "Send an email to Lao Yao in my name to start the drafting of the third round of the issuance of Côte d'Azur's 3A corporate bonds. The interest rate remains unchanged and the bond size is 23 billion US dollars..."

After the order was completed, she stopped dealing with work affairs, and called Qing Xuemei to exercise.

The US$30 billion is about 200 billion yuan of funds, which will basically be spent on the Côte d’Azur laboratory for scientific research expenditures.

It is worth mentioning that the "Côte d'Azur Laboratory" is now hailed as the "Eastern Bell Laboratory" by Western media, and the people who eat melon are also nicknamed it.

This is not a laboratory, but a comprehensive title. Simply put, it is composed of many laboratories or research institutions and spread all over the world, except for the core experimental center of the company’s headquarters, which is currently in Göttingen, Germany. , Sweden, Britain, France, Canada, the United States, Japan and other places have R&D centers.

They are also called "Côte d'Azur Labs" and compete for talents on a global scale.

At present, the number of employees of the Cote d'Azur company has expanded to 110,000, of which more than 50,000 engineers, scientists and researchers work in the Cote d'Azur laboratory.

When Google gave an engineer a price, Luo Sheng’s company fivefolded according to Google’s standards. Even like some overseas scientists, in order to be able to recruit under his command, the scientist did not want to leave the city where he lives, and the Côte d’Azur directly paid him Build a laboratory there.

It's so cruel.

Few people can refuse such sincerity.

There is also a company in China that does the same, and its investment in talent issues does not hurt money at all.

...

In the afternoon, Luo Sheng received a call from the "Innovation Workshop" of Bluestar Technology, put on a set of go-out clothes and took his private yacht out to sea.

The submarine data pod sunk in the East China Sea is to be recovered today.

The submarine data center is a grand strategy that Luo Sheng attaches great importance to. All of his layouts seem to be independent on the surface, but in fact they all have the attributes of deep linkage. New energy vehicles and driverless driving are inseparable from the support of big data and cloud technology.

Otherwise, this piece of technology will be based on it, and another technology will not keep up, and it will not be industrialized and commercialized.

Including Beidou Navigation and other national strategic-level technological developments, all are inextricably linked.
