Chapter eight hundred and sixty seventh listing continued
Recently, Guo Tailai has been bored and sells Google stocks whenever he sees everyone. Although Google has not been listed yet, it can't help but feel idle! However, his sales are a bit too much.
Google was originally a star in the capital market. She didn't want to go public with a large amount of cash before. She was forced to go public because of the wolf on Wall Street.
I was reluctant to do so. At first, I set the issuance guide price at a high price, but later I was interviewed by various "touching and kind" tycoons on Wall Street, and finally it was reduced to $110.
This is already twenty-five yuan higher than Google's release price in the future dream.
This is just the initial issuance guide price. Before listing, brokers will have another round of online auctions. With Google's current performance and prosperity that is better than in the future dream, it is inevitable that the price will be higher, but it depends on how much it has improved.
It can be said that this time Google IPO launch will definitely create a large number of wealthy people.
How many investors and brokers can’t find a way to invest while waving their money? Guo Tailai doesn’t need to recommend Google is also a hot topic that capital is sought after.
Just now, even the two founders of Google, Brin and Page, found some time to come and thank Guo Tailai before going public.
Because Guo Tailai has a very unique investment method, except for some companies that have been listed, such as Apple, Amazon and Microsoft, those that have not been listed basically have terms that are not diluted before listing.
Although this clause is domineering, it is very incompatible with the current mainstream investment. It is too gambled. It is not the kind of angel rounds, a round, a round, a round, a round, a batch, which can reduce risks. However, it is fatal to the founder of the company.
Guo Tailai is willing to give investments far exceeding the A-round financing, and only takes a very low proportion of the undiluted shares. This part is basically five percent, which can give these startups a great convenience.
First, we have obtained a large amount of development funds. Secondly, the founder does not have to pay a larger proportion of shares and can take charge of the company more stably. After the company grows, it will not be a marriage for others and work for itself. Of course, it is an effort to take the initiative to be a bull and a horse.
Therefore, the founder of the company who invested in this way is very grateful to Guo Tailai and his personal relationship is also very good.
However, most of the founders during the entrepreneurial period are quite busy and don’t walk much, and they are incomparable to successful guys like Bill Paul.
Brin and Page came here to thank Guo Tailai.
Because Guo Tailai, their shares are much more than in their future dreams, and the two of them have combined more than 35%. Now they are about to go public. Even with the lowest estimate, the total value of the shares they hold is more than 10 billion US dollars, which is more than Guo Tailai. Isn’t this worth coming here in person and thanking them solemnly?
"In fact, I should be thanked!"
Facing the thanks from both of them, Guo Tailai did not take any credit: "It is your wisdom and hard work that has brought me a huge wealth to the investor. I just put in a little investment and time, but I have such a big return. This is all your credit.
Personally, thank you very much!”
The two founders were deeply touched by Guo Tai's words.
Who among the hungry wolf tycoons on Wall Street has ever said such words of thanks?
Which one wants to get a return of 100 million US dollars if you invest just one dollar? Which one will see the hard work of a startup company?
Have those guys done anything else, besides forcing them to sign a series of unequal investment treaties and urging them to go public so that they can cash out?
Long live understanding! Who can understand the hard work of starting a business?
Who really thanks them from the bottom of their hearts?
At this time, Brin and Page could clearly distinguish them.
Obviously, it is not the hungry wolves on Wall Street, but the best investors in the world in front of you.
There is no doubt that Guo Tailai is the best investor in the world.
Is there any investor who makes entrepreneurs happier than him?
I don’t want much shares, but I give enough money. What’s particularly comfortable is that he almost never makes any moves on the company’s development direction, giving entrepreneurs full freedom.
In Guo Tailai's own words, professional matters are left to professionals, and he invests in entrepreneurs because they are professional in certain matters.
In other words, not only do they recognize their future development, but also their professional abilities. Are they unhappy when they get along with such investors?
Instead of letting Wall Street investment banks and brokerages hold shares, why not choose to let Mr. T hold it?
What's more, Guo Tailai recently said to many people that he is optimistic about Google, and even expressed that Google's stock price can reach a super height of one thousand dollars.
A stock price of one thousand dollars means that Google's market value will reach hundreds of billions in the future, which shows that Guo Tailai is not optimistic about Google's future.
Because of Guo Tailai's recommendation, a group of heavyweight investors such as Buffett and Rockefeller also expressed great interest, so that in the eyes of securities companies, this stock was unexpectedly popular.
"Maybe we should celebrate in advance!"
Guo Tailai's proposal was unanimously agreed by the two founders.
At the suggestion of his life assistant Freya, Guo Tailai opened a bottle of champagne that he had been in 1998.
Founded in 1843, Cook Champagne has always been known for brewing high-quality champagne and is known as "Rolls-Royce in Champagne".
Currently, Cook Champagne belongs to LVMH Group and is also one of a batch of fine wines provided by Mr. Gu Lian to Guo Tailai.
It's perfect for celebrating this moment.
Ding! The sound of clinking champagne glasses and the cheerful laughter of the three people seemed to kick off the skyrocketing wealth. What happened next made many people stunned.
The stock price of Google, a world-renowned search engine company, rose sharply on the day of listing in Nasdaq, with an increase of 31%.
At the close of the day, Google shares rose from $110 to $144.13, soaring by $34.13.
Affected by Google's listing, the stock prices of the other two major search engine companies Yahoo and Askjeeves fell at the same time.
In just one day, Google's market value exceeded 40 billion US dollars. The two founders of Brin and Page each held more than 7 billion US dollars in stocks and less than 100 million US dollars in cash, while Guo Tailai also earned tens of millions of US dollars in cash and more than 4 billion US dollars in stocks.
Overnight, Brin and Page entered the top 100 of Forbes' rich list, and Guo Tailai was of course at the back and was not qualified to enter the top 100.
Meanwhile, Google has more than 1,200 employees that will become millionaires.
Google's popularity seems to be inevitable, and there may be a better increase tomorrow. Everyone is looking forward to seeing Google perform better.
Amid the crazy cheers of Google shareholders, an unconfirmed news surprised everyone who had not known it before.
Mr. T, a world-renowned billionaire, is actually a shareholder of Google and is also a major shareholder with 10% of the shares.
Chapter completed!
