Li Mujian believes that life is like climbing a mountain. Many people have the potential to climb the top, but the way to climb the top needs many factors, such as time, geography, people and so on.
In the long road to the summit, as long as you step on the empty foot, you may be crushed to pieces. Rao is the most powerful person. As long as the height is enough, he will not be spared. However, some people who are lucky enough to pick up a life are afraid that they will never have the mentality and courage to climb the summit again.
Many people's success is just like galloping to jump over rough rivers from stone to stone, such as Bill Gates, horse drawn rattan, Mark Zuckerberg, and jobs. Although these people all run to the other side of the river, every step of the way is extremely dangerous, and they are doomed.
Among these people, jobs's way to the top was the most bumpy. He failed several times and had to go back to the foot of the mountain to find another way. He finally got a foothold on the iPod and iTunes. Since then, he finally found a way to work together. Then he joined forces and killed four parties.
However, it is not only the iPod that supports apple to become the world's highest market value enterprise, such as Zhu Di, who usurped the throne in the south. The success of the iPod can only support a vassal and a fief, and cannot support a huge empire. If you want to win the world, you must attack South step by step until you win the Jinling City.
In fact, every step before the fall of Jinling is extremely dangerous. If you are a little careless, you will die without a place to be buried. Jobs succeeded in his last life, like Chu Di, miraculously. But in this life, he was not so lucky. Li Mu took the stone of iPod and let the apple led by jobs fall into the turbulent river.
After knowing that jobs had made a complete compromise, Li Mu concluded that jobs was no longer the same jobs in his last life. He was like Zhu Di in another parallel world. As soon as he got out of Yanjing with his army, the main force was wiped out. The failure made him lose his own fiefdom, and more importantly, his original animal nature and confidence.
Li Mu is relieved at last. He has Andy Rubin in his hand, and he is going to put apple into his pocket. At that time, the two parties will be completely independent, so that Andy Rubin can develop Android for the rest of his life on the basis of Linux, which is the current MOS, and Tim Cook and Apple's R & D personnel can develop IOS on the basis of Mac OS.
If all goes well, in 2005 and at the latest in 2006, Muye technology will be able to come up with two sets of real smart phone operating systems. By then, it will not only kill all sides, but also destroy the sky and the earth.
In Li Mu's idea, IOS must adopt a completely closed source mode, only for its own mobile phones and other mobile hardware; as for MOS with Android as the core, it can be authorized to other mobile phone manufacturers by means of payment authorization.
Payment authorization is not a completely open payment authorization. It is not for anyone who wants to buy it, but for anyone who wants to sell it.
By the time you have two mobile operating systems in your hand, all the other competitors in the industry are ants.
Later, on behalf of Li Mu, Lin Qingya started further purchase negotiations with apple.
Lin Qingya, on behalf of Li Mu, made a final offer to Apple: take the price of $4.15 that day as the standard price, 90% of the standard price as the actual transaction price, purchase all shares held by Apple's shareholders. After signing for confirmation, take the price of $4.15 as the standard price, and 150% of the standard price as the purchase price of tradable shares, and propose to NASDAQ compulsory privatization.
50% of the purchase funds paid to Apple shareholders shall be signed and paid, and the remaining 50% shall be paid within three months. The funds paid for the purchase of circulating shares shall be paid immediately when the privatization is initiated.
As for the purchase price of current stocks, Li Mu can actually press down a bit. After all, Apple's stock price is too poor. If the news of his purchase comes out, and then he gives up the purchase because of the high cost of privatization, then Apple's stock price will go through another round of oversold. At that time, the stock price will reach a new low, and it will be difficult to think of it again. So As long as a 20-30% premium is given, it will be accepted by Nasdaq, retail investors and investors, and forced delisting can be achieved.
But for the corporate image of Muye technology, Li Mu decided to set a 150% premium privatization standard, which is to replace apple with Muye technology at his own expense, to compensate retail investors and other investors who have lost a lot.
After all, Muye technology must be listed on the NASDAQ in the future. Li Mu doesn't want to leave the impression of pickpocketing for NASDAQ investors right now. He will spend more money to buy a good reputation and sell a face of NASDAQ at the same time. It will be much more convenient when listing in the future.
Ding Jian made an account for Li Mu.
At present, the market value of apple is about $3 billion, and the proportion of current shares is almost 25%. The market value is $750 million, that is to say, the capital used to purchase current shares is 1.5 times of $750 million, that is, 1.125 billion;
the remaining $2.25 billion, 10% off to Apple shareholders, with a total price of $2.025 billion.That's $3.15 billion.
Leaving a certain amount of cash flow for Muye technology, which can withdraw up to $700 million in cash, which means that Li Mu's capital gap is about $2.5 billion.
Seeing that apple can't wait to be acquired, Ding Jian leads Li Mu and Lin Qingya to meet privately to remind Li Mu that the biggest problem of purchasing apple is not whether Apple answers or not, but whether Muye technology can get so much money.
Two and a half billion dollars in cash, none of the Internet companies in the world can afford so much money.
Everyone's market value is piled up by high running water, high gross profit, story telling and speculation concepts. Most companies have very low net interest rates, and they don't have enough money to spend on their own. They have to raise money everywhere. How could there be 2.5 billion dollars lying on the account.
This reminds Li Mu of a joke.
A woman who doesn't want to rent, the driver stares at her, and she asks herself, "haven't you seen a beautiful woman who doesn't wear clothes?"? The driver said I was just curious, where the hell are you going to pay.
Lin Qingya is also worried.
Li Mu always asked her to move forward, regardless of the money. There must be a way before the car reaches the mountain. The premise is to drive the car to the foot of the mountain first. But she didn't see where the specific road is. She was afraid that she would flash back at the end of the matter.
However, Li Mu did not worry about it.
Li Mu said to Lin Qingya and Ding Jian, "you don't have to worry about money. I have figured out an operation mode."
"What mode?" Both were surprised.
Where to get 2.5 billion dollars without financing or loans?
Now, if Muye technology wants to loan in the bank, the bank will not accept the pledge of net assets. They will definitely demand the pledge of equity, and will keep the valuation of equity low. This means that if Muye technology wants to pledge the loan of 2.5 billion US dollars, it is likely to pledge more than five shares.
It's not a big problem to say that pledge. After going public, there is money to redeem. But Wall Street is not a sheep. It's all a wolf. If we really pledge the shares of Muye technology in these people's hands, they don't know what kind of monsters and moths will come out for the benefit. Such examples are common in the capital market of American imperialism.
Pledge in China? The domestic banks will certainly sell Li Mu a face, but these 2.5 billion US dollars can't be the equivalent of RMB, it has to be a solid foreign exchange, otherwise, it's strange that they would like to give RMB to Apple shareholders to buy their shares.
Ding Jian and Lin Qingya don't know what way Li Mu can get $2.5 billion in foreign exchange, but Li Mu is confident. He calls Chen Ze in front of them.
In Li Mu's view, Chen Ze is not only a meaningful friend, but also one of the shareholders of Muye technology. He has made so much money by car, so he can't be cheaper when he has to help.
When the phone was connected, Chen Ze first asked Li Mu how he was in the United States. Li Mu exchanged greetings with him for a moment. Then he said to him, "old Chen, I have a thought in my mind. I'm not sure if it will work. Please give me your advice."
Chen Ze said with a smile, "is there anything else you can't understand? Let me hear it. "
Li Mu said, "well, I want to start a private fund in CSC club. In the short term, about half a year, the annual income is no less than 8%."
"No less than 8%? It's tall enough. " Chen zeza smacked his lips and felt a trace of unhappiness. He asked him, "how much do you want to get for such a high yield..."
Li Mu laughed and said, "you still know me."
After a meal, Li Mu said, "if you don't have much money, it will be more than 20 billion."
"My day..." "More than 20 billion yuan, such a private placement is too large, and it is difficult to go through normal procedures in a short period of time. The state may not approve it," Chen said
Li Mu said, "let's not worry about this. You need to make an evaluation first and start the whole CSC. Can you raise 20 billion yuan of cash?"
Chen Ze said without hesitation: "in terms of the amount, it must be OK. Now the membership of CSC club in the whole country has exceeded 1000. I can tell you that most of the children of the richest people in China are in our club. I made a rough statistics before. The total amount of wealth behind the whole club members is hundreds of billions. If we use hundreds of billions As leverage, the amount of money they can leverage is even greater. You give them 8% of their annual income, and they don't need to take money by themselves. Just use their relationship, they can easily get funds with an annual interest rate of less than 5%. If you take this money and lend it to you, you can earn half of the interest. Take the money easily to earn money, so don't say 20 billion. If the national policy allows, 200 billion yuan is also available It's not a problem. "
"Well, that's why I give 8% annualized income, as long as I can raise enough funds." Li Mu said, "let me ask you another question. If I take these 20 billion plus yuan and go to the central bank to help exchange 2.5 billion US dollars in foreign exchange for capital operation in the US market, do you think it's reliable?"
After a long time, Chen zeleng asked Li Mu, "brother, you didn't wake up For $2.5 billion in foreign exchange? Do you know what such a large amount of foreign exchange means? If the central bank does not release so much foreign exchange, the state will lose too much. No one dares to take such a risk unless you are a central enterprise and have the endorsement of institutions above ministries and commissions. "Speaking of this, Chen Ze thought of something and added: "by the way, there is almost no possibility of success in raising more than 20 billion cash. Even if it succeeds, it will leave a handle. If someone wants to trouble you in the future, it's easy to make a big deal, let alone take more than 20 billion cash and go to the central bank to exchange 2.5 billion dollars in foreign exchange..."
Li Mu smiled and said, "I'm not going to buy that Apple company in the United States. I don't have enough money."
Li Mu said: "then I'll ask you again. What if I promise to return the 2.5 billion dollars with interest and capital after the IPO of Muye technology, and then invest another 2.5 billion dollars in China? The dollar capital to invest in China, but the first thing to do is to convert it into RMB from the central bank. "
"You mean to borrow 2.5 billion US dollars from the central bank first, and when Makino technology is listed in the United States, you will return the 2.5 billion US dollars, and then make up 2.5 billion US dollars for the central bank..." Chen said
"Yes, and a minimum of $2.5 billion, which is likely to be more." "After the successful IPO of Muye technology, all the money we got from the US stock market is US dollars. Isn't it foreign exchange to invest part of it in China?" said Li Mu
Chen Ze sighed for a long time: "if you had said this, I would not have talked about the legality of private placement with you just now. If you had asked the central bank directly about this, the central bank would be willing to help. The approval process needs to be followed. I believe that with the strength of Makino technology and your personal conduct, there would be no problem. Even if you don't look at these, you can only look at the foreign exchange of 2.5 billion US dollars I will help you, so that you can save the 8% annual interest rate of private placement. "
Li Mu said: "that's not good. I directly asked the central bank to borrow US dollars, which is a blatant violation of the state's foreign exchange regulations. Even if the central bank opened a back door for me and left a handle for others, there will be hidden dangers. It's still a curve to save the country. The annual interest rate of 8% is negligible compared with the cost of getting money from the capital."
Speaking of this, Li Mu said: "the most important thing is that the family background of the members in the CSC club is relatively strong. If this private placement is taken out by one or two hundred or even five or six hundred rich people from all over the world, the interest group behind it is quite large. Even if the people who are interested want to do the chapter, they should also weigh the energy behind it. I spend 8% interest to pull a group of people with me I'll carry it together. "
"I see." Chen Ze said: "I'll go and get angry about this tomorrow. If the central bank nods, the private placement will start in China. I think it's about your promise of 2.5 billion dollars. It's almost the same thing."
”That's good. "Li Musong breath, said:" if OK, as soon as possible to advance, strive for this month to get the money in place, so as to avoid a long dream at night. "
"Don't worry." Chen Ze said with a smile, "it's a good thing to make the best of both worlds and benefit each other. I will promote the implementation as soon as possible."
