Although no agreement has been reached with jobs and Jacobs, they have at least started. This is a good phenomenon. They are very satisfied with their communication with the two "booth".
In Li Feng's opinion, the main thing is that they have what they both need. If they really want to cooperate, it can be regarded as their own needs and requirements, which is beneficial to both sides. They can't help but be indifferent. How the final outcome will develop depends on their own means in the process.
"Eric, do you think we can take a stake in Qualcomm?" Li Feng asked Eric Schmidt with a smile.
"Boss, both Qualcomm and apple, are actually facing the same problem, that is, the voice of the founder team. If the company develops well, everything will be covered up. However, as soon as the company has problems, the founders and management will first take the blame.
I think neither jobs nor Jacobs and his son want such a problem. If we can become a major shareholder or even a controlling shareholder and give 100% support and promise not to take them out of the pot, I think our chances are great.
I have to say that although the shares are dispersed, dispersion also has the advantages of dispersion. It can be said that it is easier to take shares, but it is more difficult to hold shares. " Eric Schmidt replied with a smile.
"Yes, after today, Eric, you find a professional who is proficient in the communication industry, and then contact the management of Qualcomm. Tianya investment has nearly 10% of its shares. I think it's time to send a shareholder representative." Li Feng replied with a smile.
"OK, I think it's feasible. I'll arrange it."
……
"Well, that's it. The task tonight is very heavy. By the way, did Fink of BlackRock come?"
"It's coming. It's like Bill and Eugene are with them."
"OK, then go and have a look."
"Over there, boss, this way!"
“…”
"Boss, Hello, you're here!"
"Hello, Mr. Li!"
"This is Larry Fink of BlackRock. Hello, I'm St. John Lee. Nice to meet you!" Bill wilbey and Xu Youyu, who greeted Li Feng, nodded and then greeted a tall, glasses wearing, balding and slightly curly haired middle-aged man.
"Hello, Mr. Li. It's my honor to receive your invitation from Feixun and Google. Nice to meet you!" Larry Fink also responded to Li Feng with a smile.
Today's Fink has begun to emerge on Wall Street, but after all, he is not at the helm of BlackRock, who controls $5 trillion of assets in future generations, but he has a look of a future bull.
"Yes, that's the best. I've always had expectations for Wall Street. I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future." Li Feng replied with a smile.
"Mr. Li, both bill and Eugene are top financial talents. If they hadn't done too well in Tianya investment, I would like to dig them into BlackRock.
Of course, Mr. Li's investment vision does not need any proof. Just look at Mr. Li's career. I think Wall Street should welcome a top business all rounder. " Larry Fink responded with a smile.
"Maybe..."
……
After some greetings, Li Feng was more and more satisfied with his communication with the helmsman of BlackRock. From their investment philosophy to the future global economic development to the development of their companies, all kinds of topics come at random, which makes Li Feng, who claims to be the "most visionary", admire and feel at ease. No wonder people later developed BlackRock into such a scale and talent!
"Larry, I'm very optimistic about BlackRock. Do you mind if BlackRock has one more shareholder? I'm very interested."
If you want to take shares because of the memory of your previous life, you are sincere at this time.
"John, do you take shares in the name of an individual or a company?"
At this time, their names became casual, and Larry finkerton responded with a smile.
"I heard that the major shareholder of BlackRock is PNC Financial Group, right?"
When Li Feng suddenly changed the topic and asked, Larry Fink was embarrassed. Obviously, no one knows the situation of BlackRock better than his founder.
PNC financial group's shares are too many, that is, the majority of shareholders are still giving face. The truth is that PNC has the final say. The company is close to the 8 tier company, and it is more like PNC financial group's subsidiary.
To say that the PNC group today still trusts itself, but everything in Wall Street has the final say in interests. If there is any problem with BlackRock, there is no doubt that his founder and CEO are the first to be out. It is impossible to say that Larry Fink has no such worries.
Larry of later generations also tried his best to reduce PNC's shares. First, he diluted some shares of PNC Financial Group through stock issuance and IPO listing, but PNC held too many shares. PNC still held 70% of BlackRock's shares until 2006. Obviously, although PNC was diluted, it didn't want to let BlackRock go.
……
Finally, Larry Fink came up with a clever idea, that is, to merge with the Securities Investment Management Department of Merrill Lynch, one of the giants of Wall Street. The assets of the new company created by this large-scale merger will be close to $trillion.
The Wall Street merger made Larry Fink do his best. On the one hand, it diluted the shares of PNC Financial Group from 70% to 35%. Similarly, although Merrill Lynch invested 60% of its assets in the new company, it only occupied 49.8% of its shares, which solved the biggest hidden danger that BlackRock is a 'subsidiary' of PNC Financial Group.
"John, now BlackRock manages more than $100 billion in assets and is also preparing to issue stocks, bonds and mutual funds this year. I can say hello to you in advance."
Larry Fink really agrees at this time. If Li Feng and Tianya investment and even century bank behind him come in, there is no doubt that they can dilute the shares of PNC Financial Group and facilitate their control of BlackRock.
"Oh, Larry, it seems that you are going to let BlackRock IPO?" Li Feng replied with a smile.
"I can't hide it from you. Since we are going to issue stocks and bonds in the name of BlackRock this year, IPO is naturally put on the agenda. Maybe we still have the possibility of further cooperation at that time, isn't it?"
"Haha... Don't worry. As long as it is beneficial to both sides, I naturally agree with both hands. Bill's wish to return to Wall Street may be realized one step ahead of time." Li Feng joked with a smile.
"Boss, it's not easy for Wall Street to get ahead. I'm still very lucky. If it hadn't been for Tianya investment, where would it be now, wouldn't it?" Bill wilbey was flattering without trace.
"Ha ha..."
……
It can be said that Li Feng's goals are very targeted. The problems of apple, Qualcomm and BlackRock are faced with a very common problem in Meidi, that is, the founders of the company do not have enough share voice, and Li Feng's random entry can be said to give them the opportunity to regain the voice of the company.
