Goldman Sachs is the most profitable and powerful investment bank in the United States. It used to be a small bank run by a coachman, but under the operation of generations of partners, it once became the world's top investment bank. Even the U.S. government offered Goldman Sachs as a guest of honor. Many Presidents served as U.S. Treasury ministers, calling on the world.
Since the interim, Goldman Sachs has been quick and accurate in investment, with few failures. It seems that it is always the lucky one who can win the big prize. However, it has missed one of the most lucrative big orders - Alibaba IPO. Alibaba has also become the biggest failure of Goldman Sachs Group in global investment. No one
in October 1999, under the docking of a Chinese American executive of Goldman Sachs, Goldman Sachs invested $5 million in Alibaba for the first time Yuan. It is this precious $5 million that helped mababa survive the most difficult time in the early stage of his business and made Ali famous. This is the story of sun Zhengyi of Softbank.
Goldman Sachs eventually took 50% of Alibaba for $5 million!
followed the disillusionment of the global Internet bubble, and Goldman began to suspect the Internet.
In 2004, Goldman began selling part of its Alibaba stake for $22 million, seven times the purchase price. But by contrast, investors who bought shares from Goldman Sachs ended up the biggest winners.
As it turns out, Alibaba has become the biggest failure of Goldman Sachs Group's investment.
As the world's smartest and most powerful investment bank, Goldman Sachs took a long look, got up early to catch a late show, and achieved the Alibaba myth, but couldn't see the future of Alibaba. It's also a great sarcasm to sell at a low price in the initial stage of Alibaba, and finally get a consolation Award for missing the first prize.
Since Andy knows this history, he will not miss this opportunity, but he is not sure whether Goldman Sachs has Ali's shares in it. He can only try to make a sudden inquiry. Both Mr. and Mr. Buffett are a little confused. After decades of silence, Mr. and Mr. Buffett look at Mr. Buffett and say: "well, there is one, but it is suspected of plagiarizing eBay. We More than 30% of the shares have been sold before and after, and now there are still 10% left in hand
"The name of the company is Ali, isn't it? I want to buy those shares. I don't know what your offer is? " Andy, with a charming smile on his face, turned the club in his hand, kindly handed it to the caddie, and calmly said to Pierre.
If we can take this share now, Li Xiaoying, who is sent to the country of rabbit, will have enough foothold and starting point to work in the country of rabbit. Of course, we can take this opportunity to get more shares of Ali.
"Wow, Andy, are you even interested in e-commerce in rabbit country? You should know that it's just a rabbit country Internet company that copied Amazon. At the beginning, a Chinese American executive presided over the investment, and most of the shares were sold by us at seven times the price. You need to know that Ali is developing well now, but the price is not cheap. " Pierre's eyes flashed and he smiled. He put the golf ball on the ball holder and stood up. If he had a deep look at Andy, he said.
Little assistant Torre, standing by, saw the harmless sunshine smile on the boss'...
"I am optimistic about the future economic development of the country of rabbit, so I will establish an investment bank in the country of rabbit. The newly established company must have a foothold to open up the situation. Ali is a good starting point. I want the remaining shares of $10 million. I don't think Goldman Sachs will refuse this business."
Andy is not worried that Goldman Sachs will refuse, and he is also not worried that they will start from the ground. After all, Ali's popularity in the United States is not good, and he has always been despised in the name of the fake Amazon.
Buffett looked at Andy's indifferent expression thoughtfully. He didn't know about it. Because he didn't know about it, he would never touch it. However, what's the difference between a company that can be valued by the magic boy in front of him.
Pilder curled his mouth, stood, posed, and swung.
"Pa"
"the price is good. I will go back and discuss with you. I think the first cooperation between us will be a happy success!" Pilde doesn't care about a fake e-commerce business far away from other countries. He cares about building friendship with Andy, who has a strong background, holds a huge amount of cash and is like a genius.
"Of course, my people will contact you as soon as possible. The company of rabbit country has been established, and the personnel are preparing. I think Ali's shares are a good gift. At least we have a foothold in rabbit country, which is still a powerful transnational investment bank like you. The whole world is unimpeded."
Andy just smiled, not excited because he could buy Ali's shares. He now thinks more and more of a real billionaire. Wealth has gradually become an indispensable part of his life. He is a person who uses wealth, not a tool dominated by wealth bewilderment.
"Ha ha, Andy heard that you are going to have a big move next? I wonder if Goldman Sachs can help you? " Seeing that the initial contact with Andy has been fruitful, pilder asked, taking advantage of the hot iron.Andy shakes his head and laughs, shrugs and shows his hand to Warren Buffett, who looks at himself with the same smile. "It seems that there is really no secret on Wall Street. The so-called secret is just the time sequence that different people need to know."
Warren Buffett leaned on the club, squatted down to put the ball, slowly stood up and laughed: "I've said that Wall Street is paying attention to you. Besides, everyone is curious that the first company you choose to buy is Marvel Entertainment. It seems that Hollywood's report that you want to be the king of publishing rights is not a wild guess."
Andy looks at Pierre with a wry smile. "You're not all so idle. Why don't you stare at me?"
"Hahaha, who made you so surprised? In one year, it has created nearly 6 billion assets. I don't think anyone will ignore you. You've been successful and seemingly useless. Through research and speculation, everyone thinks that you're in the layout. Andy, we Goldman Sachs are willing to be your friends and work for you in your future acquisitions. Any company under your company is IPO listed, and we Goldman Sachs hope to become Your preferred IPO underwriter! "
Peard said to Andy with serious expression, which also made him understand what Goldman Sachs is after. I have to say that Goldman's appetite is not generally big. There will be many IPO companies in its layout. What peard wants to do is to establish a good relationship with Andy now, so as to earn a large amount of commission in the future.
"Pierre, you didn't tell me. You asked me to introduce Andy to you for this purpose!"
Warren Buffett's eyes some sharp look at Pierre, his face is no longer before the indifferent genial smile, hand on the club, tone a little clear. He doesn't want to offend Andy because of Pierre. After all, Andy is too young. The main thing is that he and Andy have established a good friendship.
"Ha ha, Mr. Buffett, don't be angry. I don't have any purpose. Just say it casually. If it bothers you, I apologize..."
Andy smiled. He had no interest in whether they were acting for himself or not, but it didn't matter. He said to them with a smile, "why not? If it's really needed again. "
It was already noon after a golf game. The three had a happy lunch in the restaurant of the golf course. In the afternoon, Andy gave the purchase of Ali shares to Li Xiaoying, the future CEO of rabbit state investment company.
Andy is very satisfied with Li Xiaoying's work in this period of time. Her small team has almost run in. It's also time for Li Xiaoying to take them to the rabbit country. A large number of enterprises that will come to the United States to be listed, such as Ali and penguin, are still in development. It's conceivable that the Ke of capital is pursued. Sun Zhengyi of Softbank relies on Ali Yi alone The listing of his family has made him into the top 10 of Forbes rich list. Andy has to say that the explosive economic growth of rabbit country in the future is a big cake that no one can imagine. Come in early and benefit early!
