Chapter 112: Discussing Cooperation and Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Early the next morning, after Kaos personally put Lin Xiaoli and Lin Yifei on the plane, he did not return directly to the mountaintop villa, but came to the Hong Kong Yacht Club.
This is the oldest club in Hong Kong. Compared with the older generation of wealthy people who like the Jockey Club, the second generation who are about to take over the family business are more obsessed with yachts. In their free time, they will meet up with a few friends and bring A large number of beautiful and young models went out to play in the sea.
Superboy had just acquired PCCW and was feeling arrogant. Although the Internet bubble had occurred, the impact had not yet been fully reflected, so naturally he decided to place the meeting place here.
Kaos looked at the large yacht about thirty meters in front of him, sailing off the coast of Hong Kong. As the waves hit, the hull undulated a little, but it was not very obvious, and it was completely within the acceptable range.
"How's it going? This is my new ship, as a gift to myself when PCCW's reorganization was successful."
Superboy introduced with a smile and handed the glass of red wine to Kaos.
“It’s not bad, but it still feels a little small.”
Although Kaos feels interesting, when it comes to liking him, he feels very ordinary.
The size of the yacht determines the size of the facilities and space on it. Compared with this, Kaos prefers super yachts with a length of 130 to 40 meters.
It can completely sail on the sea for a long time, or even travel around the world. It is best to put a helicopter or a small submarine on it, which will be even more perfect.
"Haha, only children have speed and the excitement of flying."
Seeing that Kaos didn't seem to understand his love very well, Superboy explained it again.
"No, I don't have much pursuit of speed. I just like big and long-lasting things."
Kaos put his arms around Superboy, looked at him and shook his head, smiling and saying with regret.
It can be seen from the preferences that a person's character is too fast and adventurous, although he may achieve results in a short period of time.
But in the long run, it is a dangerous thing. If you are not careful, you may hit rock bottom.
Just like now, a PCCW will drag this little superman into the quagmire in the future, and he will almost never stand up again.
"Uh... you really don't look like an American when you make such a joke."
I didn't quite understand what Kaos meant at first, but seeing the evil smile in his eyes, Superboy quickly understood.
Little Superman, who had studied in the United States, looked at Kaos a little strange, as if he couldn't understand why he would make a joke with an oriental flavor.
But he had business to do, so he didn't think much about it. He stretched out his hand to signal Kaos to come to the stern of the boat. After sitting down casually, shaking the red wine glass in his hand, he looked at Kaos again and asked: "Well, there is no one else here. Let’s get straight to the point, what’s the reason for your appointment with me?”
"Haha, for an hour, I want to buy your shares in iFlytek for US$5 million."
Kaos gently rubbed his fingers on the stem of the high wine glass, and stated his conditions with a very relaxed and comfortable expression.
Historically, although the other party sold iFlytek shares for US$12.6 million, that was a year later. Now iFlytek is only a year old and the price is not that exaggerated.
"Sorry, I can't accept this price."
Before meeting Kaos again, he had already understood and roughly guessed his purpose.
The only point of contact between the two is that they jointly hold shares in iFlytek, and he also has plans to sell it. After all, PCCW's stock price has been falling since the Internet bubble, which has created his current financial situation.
of tension.
But this does not mean that he will sell his assets at a low price. He had previously contacted the South African mih group because the price could not be negotiated.
I originally thought that Kaos, a new Internet rich man, could get a better offer, but now it seems that it is not much higher.
This situation made Superboy shake his head directly and rejected Kaos' proposal without any hesitation.
In fact, it was also the hindsight of various online news in later generations that caused Kaos to misunderstand that Superboy did not attach great importance to iFlytek's shares.
But in fact, maybe Superboy really didn't expect that iFlytek would be such a promising company in the future, but he didn't think that he looked down upon it at all.
Only in 2001, PCCW's stock price, which originally had the highest market value of 560 billion, dropped to only 230 billion. Every day when Superboy wakes up, he has to calculate how to repay tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in interest to the bank that month.
Even if he thought that iFlytek would have some future prospects, he still had to cut off his arms to survive. It can only be said that he did not expect that the east wind of the Internet would blow so fast.
But now that the end is not over yet, facing Kaos's price which has increased more than four times, Superboy directly refused without hesitation.
Superboy's firmness made Kaos frown a little. The other party's tone clearly meant that it was not something that could be negotiated by adding one or two million.
But wait, Kaos is worried that other accidents will happen, and he does not want to bet that one year later, when the other party is forced to do so, he will definitely trade his shares in iFlytek.
But the value of iFlytek today is indeed not worth the high price paid by Kaos.
What's more, blindly increasing the acquisition price will only make the other party feel that it is profitable. In the end, this little superman may be even more reluctant to sell iFlytek's shares.
After frowning and thinking for a while, Kaos raised his head, looked at Superboy in front of him and said, "I can increase the purchase price to US$15 million, but there are two small conditions."
"First, I need you to help me use 30 million shares of Google to borrow US$5.4 billion from HSBC."
"Second, this year's Kowloon Station Phase 6 and 7 building land mergers will be put up for public bidding. I hope your family can help me win."
Now Google's stock price has risen to US$257.4, but if you want to get a loan from a bank, it doesn't mean that you can borrow one million if you have stocks worth one million.
After all, stocks have a problem of ups and downs. Banks are not that stupid. They will have venture capital and other institutions to conduct an evaluation and finally give a discounted price. Kaos now has stocks worth about 7.72 billion U.S. dollars, as long as it lends 54
Billions of dollars come.
This means that Kaos can only accept a 30% discount. This Internet company has basically no assets and the annual return rate is not very high. It was still during the Internet bubble period, and Internet companies went bankrupt every day.
