Reborn Wealth America

The Coca-Cola Company's current market value is about US$200 billion.

As a leading company in the world's beverage companies.This multinational group is a famous century-old enterprise.It can be said that the history of Coca-Cola is the history of the current world empire of the United States.

World War II that year.

Coca-Cola is even an indispensable munition for the US military.Ammunition and food can be lacking, but Coca-Cola cannot.At the time, a newspaper stated that among the war supplies sent by the United States of America to Europe, 13 out of every 100 ships carried Coca-Cola.

It's a bit exaggerated.

But it can be seen from this that this century-old beverage company has an influence in the United States.

Some people may say, isn’t there still Pepsi to drink?I prefer to drink Pepsi. What is Coca-Cola?!

Ha ha……

It's hard to say in the world.

In the United States... Just like KFC being beaten by McDonald's, Pepsi is also the one that was beaten by Coca-Cola.

Such a company.

Buffett is one of Coca-Cola's largest shareholders.He has held shares in this company since the last century.No one knows how much he holds.But some people speculate that this respected Mr. Jia Cheng is likely to hold more than 20% of Coca-Cola's stock.

And it is very likely that they are all preferred stocks.

Buffett puts too much emphasis on sound investment.Almost for a period of time, I bought Coca-Cola stocks with a little money, and bought Coca-Cola stocks with a little money.

It is this kind of thinking.

He is now one of Coca-Cola's largest shareholders.

Now Buffett is willing to buy 2% of Coca-Cola's stock.In exchange for 10% of Bluestar's future stock.

This is for him.

It may be a sacrifice.

For Abel, this is Buffett's estimate of the future market value of his Blue Star, which has reached about 40 billion US dollars.After all, 2% of Coca-Cola’s stock is worth more than $4 billion.

just……

He still feels too little.

Bluestar must be no better than the world's largest beverage group in the future.But its potential will not lose much to Coca-Cola.The incomparability of the present does not mean that the future is not comparable.

The market value is around US$200 billion.

This is also Abel's estimation of Blue Star's future potential.

The production capacity of Bluestar One is currently not sufficient.But the new factory is still under construction.It is estimated that the monthly output can be increased to about 50 units before January 2019.

At that time, the annual income will reach 60 billion US dollars.Its profit margin is even more amazing.

This is incomparable to Coca-Cola.

therefore.

Even if I am tempted by the Coca-Cola stock.Abel still shook his head.

2% stock.

Even Coca-Cola.This amount is really too small.Not to mention that it is impossible to achieve absolute holdings.But this figure looks too bleak.

"10%! Of which 4% will be exchanged for Bluestar Future's stocks, and the remaining 6%, I am willing to buy with cash!"

He said to Buffett.

Buffett smiled directly.

If it is really calculated according to the 4% Coca-Cola stock exchange for Blue Star Future shares.Then Abel's future valuation of Bluestar will reach 80 billion US dollars.

Not that such a company is not worth the price.Only at this initial stage, if you quote such a price, even interested buyers will retreat.

Abel requested 10% of Coca-Cola's stock.

It is even more impossible for Buffett.

For this kind of stocks of stable industrial companies that have great influence in the world.Buffett is more important than anyone else, even if it is exchanged for shares of Internet companies that are worth more than Coca-Cola's stock, he will not want to.

"Ha ha……"

He smiled calmly.

"If this is the case. I will no longer be the largest shareholder of Coca-Cola... It is impossible! If you want Coca-Cola stock, if only 10%. With this money, you can buy it directly from the market. So many stocks."

"Well... more than 20 billion U.S. dollars!"

Buffett refused.

Abel said: "The stocks on the market are all common stocks. Now even a stockholder knows that if you want to buy stocks, it is best to buy preferred stocks!"

Preferred stocks are generally stocks with voting rights.Have enough preferred shares, even if the overall share is relatively small in the company's shares.Both can control and own a company through preferred stock rights and voting.

Just like Redstone's control of CBS and Viacom.

"2.5%... what do you think of a valuation of 50 billion US dollars? They are all preferred stocks, what you want!"

Buffett made another offer.

2.5% words.Bluestar's future valuation at Buffett's place is now around US$50 billion.

For a family founded for several years.However, it was only a few months before the product was released, and the product has not even passed market verification.

Valuation of 50 billion US dollars.

Definitely already very rich.Even the original female version of Steve Jobs’s company has trumpeted so much awesomeness and attracted so many awesome support.

The valuation has not exceeded that much.

In fact, Abel does not value Bluestar's future valuation.Anyway, in the short term, it is impossible for this company to go public.By the time this company went public, it was estimated that my strength at that time would not need the one or two hundred billion dollars.

because of this.

He was only willing to take out this company's stock in exchange for the support of Fidelity and Sequoia Capital and KPCB.

Make allies for yourself.

Buffett is now willing to take out real money in exchange for the valuable Coca-Cola preferred stock, and he agrees in his heart.

Being able to introduce Buffett among the partners of the company is of inestimable help to Bluestar's future development.

Many aspects of yourself.

There is also very good help.

The only tangled thing now is the price.Buffett’s bid did not meet Abel’s expectations, and Abel’s price exceeded Buffett’s psychological price.

Merchant...

Bargaining is a must.

"3% preferred stock! Plus 2% common stock! 2% common stock, I can use cash to buy!"

Abel bargained.

Buffett smiled.

Suddenly reached out: "Deal!"

Abel was taken aback for a moment.

"3% of Coca-Cola's preferred stocks will be exchanged for Bluestar's future 10% of preferred stocks! In addition, I can introduce a friend and sell you 2% of Coca-Cola's common stocks directly! Just at the current market price. Today's market value of Coca-Cola It's about 208.136 billion U.S. dollars!"

"The price of 2% common stock is about 4.16 billion US dollars!"

"young people……"

"It's a happy decision!"

Buffett said so straightforwardly, Abel was a little dazed.

Shouldn't we continue to bargain?

His psychological price, in fact, 2.5% of preferred stock, plus a portion of common stock is enough.

It is not a surprise to be able to get 3% of preferred shares now.But unexpected joy is always qualified.

The 3% preferred stock is already a significant minority shareholder in a large group such as Coca-Cola with extremely dispersed equity.

It is estimated that if he is willing to sell.

These 3% preferred stocks can even be sold for more than $6 billion.On the Huaxia side, someone must be willing to invest more than US$8 billion to buy stocks, which is about US$6 billion.

The reason is only because this is Coca-Cola's preferred stock.

Of course.

Even if he wants to sell.

You can sell it, but it must be sold to a local American company or merchant.Either it was sold to some guys from Qingmei in Europe.

In addition to these two sides.

Even if he wants to sell, the federal government and the Coca-Cola board of directors cannot let him sell.

It's like amd's market value is only tens of billions of dollars, and only billions of dollars at the cheapest time.

However, China, which is in short supply for CPU chip companies, is not even interested in asking.Because if it is from Huaxia, or an example related to Huaxia.Even if the price is increased ten times, the transaction is impossible to pass.

As for the guys in Europe and America.

The price is not so beautiful anymore, at most it is calculated according to market value.Just like Buffett now.

"Are you so optimistic about the future of Blue Star?"

Faced with Buffett's bid.Abel asked in a deep voice.

Buffett's steady investment is notoriously unprofitable.Even if it is an investment, it is necessary to ensure that there is a 100% possibility of profit before it is willing to make a move.

Now I am willing to use a valuation of about 60 billion US dollars to win 10% of the shares of Bluestar in the future.This means that the stock god is really optimistic about the future of Blue Star.

This doesn't...

The valuation of 30 billion US dollars from Fidelity, Sequoia Capital and KPCB has doubled the price.

"Of course! I am very interested in all sound investments! Although Bluestar is a high-tech industry in the future. But it is related to environmental protection and mining, which means it is one of the foundations of industry!"

"I am optimistic about it! So I am willing to invest in it! It's that simple!"

Buffett said of course.

Abel was silent.

Finally stood up, stretched out his hand and shook Buffett.

"Deal!"

"Hahahaha!"

Buffett laughed happily, picked up the water glass on the table, and gestured to Abel:

"A drink to our cooperation! Please forgive me for not being able to drink with you young people because of my health. But my heart is the same! Please! Oh, and this young and beautiful lady!"

Emma Watson stood up flattered.Buffett actually made a toast to her, and Emma thought she could blow for days.

Abel raised the water glass in his hand.

I touched Buffett and said with a smile, "Happy cooperation! Warren, you are my idol!"

"Haha!"

"Young man. You are now the idol of most Americans! No, you should be the idol of wealth in the world!"

Buffett also said with a smile.

Next, the dinner party went smoothly.When it was about to end, Abel suddenly made a request.

"Dear Warren, can you do me a favor?"

"Huh?"

…………

…………

new York.

In New York in November, the weather has begun to cool.

But humans have high technology.

In front of technology.

Even if the climate changes drastically, it still cannot affect human activities.

So the room is warm like spring.But in an office, even in such a warm climate, the two middle-aged people sitting on the sofa still kept sweating.

In the heads of the two Gein, a square-faced old man with solemn expression was sitting.

"My father, what happened?" One of the middle-aged men broke the silence and asked cautiously.

The middle-aged man named Ciri Wexner, is an executive of the famous clothing company lb, next to his younger brother, Delin Wexner, the president of Victoria's Secret.

The two brothers also have a better-known identity, that is, the square-faced old man sitting on the top, the son of Les Wexner.

Les Wexner, who is in her 80s, has been in the business world for more than 50 years.He finally became a billionaire, even if he is still on the list of the richest people in the world.

He has about 6.2 billion US dollars in assets.

Although this asset has shrunk as the company's shares have shrunk, his fortune has shrunk, and it has now fallen to more than 4 billion US dollars.

He is the founder, president and chairman of LB Clothing Group, the parent company of Victoria's Secret.

Since his two sons have grown up, they have never seen his father have such a serious expression that is almost hideous.

According to the secretary, his father has always had this expression since he answered a call yesterday.Who on earth is calling that call?What are you talking about?

Just as the two brothers were in trouble, Les Wexner finally spoke, but his voice was very deep and terrible: "I received a call from an old friend yesterday, and he said that someone wanted to hostile LB. !"

Rice's youngest son Delin frowned: "Hostile bidding for lb! Who is this? Which investment institution is it?"

Les Wexner lowered his eyebrows and couldn't help stroking a bead in his hand: "A young but terrible guy. Before we found out, he had more than 18% of the shares!"

"hiss……"

The two brothers exclaimed.Although they are not good in business, but after so many years, they know more or less what this number represents.

Over 18% of the shares.

My home is really a bit dangerous.

Because my family’s shares in the company are only about 38%.The other party will almost have half of his own stock this time, if it exceeds his own home.That lb does not belong to the Wexner family.

"What should I do? Father." Rice's eldest son asked softly.

"I have encountered difficulties in other industries now. I can't get assistance from other industries, I can only find white knights!"

Les said decadently.

He was about to continue to say something, suddenly...

Ringing!

The phone rang.

Les Wexner frowned and answered.

Less than a minute.

His old worried face blossomed instantly, becoming very happy.

"Okay! No problem! Thanks! Thank you very much!"

After putting down the phone.Les Wexner swept away the decadence.

He stood up and said to the two sons: "Get ready! We will fight back that guy fiercely this time!"
