American Fortune Life

Goldman Sachs is the most profitable and powerful investment bank in the United States. 【】It was originally just a small bank run by a coachman, but under the operation of generations of partners, it has developed into the world's top investment bank, and even the US government has treated Goldman Sachs as a guest, and many presidents have served as the US Treasury Secretary. Call the wind and rain in the world.

For a long time, Goldman Sachs has been fast and accurate in its investment, and it seems that it is always the lucky one who can win the big lottery. However, it has missed the most lucrative big order-Alibaba's IPO, and Ali has also become Goldman Sachs' global investment. The biggest failure in the book, no one

In October 1999, under the docking of a Chinese senior executive of Goldman Sachs, Goldman Sachs invested US$5 million in Ali in the first round. It was this precious 5 million US dollars that helped Mababa survive the most difficult period in the early days of its business, and also made Ali famous from then on. This is the story of Masayoshi Son of Softbank.

Goldman Sachs eventually acquired a 50% stake in Alibaba for $5 million!

After the global Internet bubble burst, Goldman Sachs became suspicious of the Internet.

In 2004, Goldman Sachs began to sell some of its shares in Ali for US$22 million, which was equivalent to 7 times the purchase price. But by contrast, those investors who bought shares from Goldman Sachs ended up being the biggest winners.

Facts have proved that Alibaba has become the biggest failure of Goldman Sachs' investment.

As the most shrewd and most powerful investment bank in the world, Goldman Sachs took a wrong look, got up early in the morning and rushed to the evening, and achieved the myth of Ali, but could not see the future of Ali. It sold at low prices in the initial stage of Ali, and finally missed the first prize. A consolation prize is also a great irony.

Since Andy knew this history, he would naturally not miss this opportunity, but he couldn't be sure whether Goldman Sachs still had Ali's shares, so he could only try to ask abruptly, both Peeld and Buffett were a little confused13 , the scene was silent for dozens of seconds, Peeld glanced at Buffett and said: "Well, there is one, but it is suspected of plagiarizing eBay, we sold more than 30% of the shares before and after, and now we still have Ten percent..."

"The name of the company is Ali, right? I want to buy those shares, but what is your offer?" Andy had a sunny and charming smile on his face, turned the cue in his hand, and played the ball kindly Handed the rod to the caddy, and said calmly to Peeld.

If this part of the shares can be acquired now, then Li Xiaoying, who is sent to the Rabbit Country, will have enough foothold and entry point to start working in the Rabbit Country. Of course, it can also be used as an opportunity to get more shares in Ali.

"Wow, Andy, you are also interested in the e-commerce of Rabbit Country? You know, it is just a Rabbit Internet company that copied Amazon. At the beginning, one of our Chinese executives presided over this investment. Some of the shares were sold by us at 7 times the price,

You have to know that Ali is developing well now, but the price is not cheap. "Pierde's eyes flashed brightly, with a smile on his mouth, he put the golf ball on the ball holder, stood up, looked at Andy meaningfully and said.

Tori, the little assistant standing aside, saw the harmless sunny smile on the boss's face, and couldn't help but mourn in silence for the bald man who was still giggling opposite him. What an idiot, every time the big devil shows such a sunny smile, most of them are In order to lower the defense of the opponent, it is a matter of time before one is cheated. . .

"I am optimistic about the future economic development of the Rabbit Country, so I will establish an investment bank in the Rabbit Country. The newly established company must have a foothold to open up the situation. Ali is a good entry point. I want the rest of the 10 million US dollars. Shares, I don’t think you Goldman Sachs will refuse this deal, right?”

Andy was not worried that Goldman Sachs would refuse, nor was he worried that they would sit on the ground and raise the price. After all, Ali's popularity in the United States is really bad, and he has always been despised for being a fake Amazon.

Buffett looked thoughtfully at the indifferent expression on Andy's face. He didn't know much about IT, and because he didn't know it, he would never touch it. However, there should be something about a company that can be valued by the magical boy in front of him. the difference.

Pierre curled his lips, stood up, put on a good posture, and swung vigorously.

"Snapped"

"The price is good. I'll go back and discuss it with everyone. I think our first cooperation will be a happy success!" Peeld didn't care about a copycat e-commerce company far away in a foreign country. With loads of cash in hand, the genius Andy strikes up a friendship.

"Of course, my people will contact you as soon as possible. The company in 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. It's still you This kind of multinational investment bank is powerful, and the whole world is unimpeded."

Andy just smiled lightly, and he wasn't excited about being able to buy Ali's shares. He now thinks more and more of a real billionaire, and wealth has gradually become an indispensable part of his life. Part embellishment, he is a man who uses wealth, not a tool dominated by the delusion of wealth.

"Hehe, Andy heard that you're going to make a big move next? I wonder if Goldman Sachs can help you?" Seeing that the initial contact with Andy has been fruitful, Peel asked eagerly.

Andy shook his head and laughed, shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands and said to Warren Buffett who also looked at him with a smile on his face: "It seems that there are really no secrets in Wall Street. The so-called secrets are just the time that people of different levels need to know." It’s just a question of success.”

Warren Buffett leaned on the cue, squatted down to set the ball, slowly stood up and smiled: "I said a long time ago that Wall Street is paying attention to you. Besides, everyone is also curious about the first company you choose to acquire. It turned out to be Marvel Entertainment, it seems that Hollywood's report that you want to be the king of copyright is not a random guess."

Andy looked at Peeld with a helpless wry smile, "You're all so leisurely, aren't you? Why are you staring at me?"

"Hahaha, who made you appear so unexpected and amazing? You have created almost 6 billion assets in one year. I don't think anyone will ignore you. You have always been successful. Some things that seem useless, everyone I also think through research and speculation that you are planning. Andy, Goldman Sachs is willing to be your friend and serve you in your future acquisitions. Any IPO of your company, we Goldman Sachs hope to be your first choice IPO underwriter!"

Peeld said to Andy with a serious expression, and let Andy understand what Goldman Sachs is looking for in him. I have to say that Goldman Sachs' appetite is not ordinary, and many companies will go public in their layout. And what Peeld wants to do is to establish a good relationship with Andy now, so as to get a large amount of commission in the future.

"Pierre, you didn't tell me that you asked me to introduce Andy to you for this purpose!"

Warren Buffett looked at Pierre sharply, and the calm and warm smile disappeared from his face. He leaned on the cue and said in a clear tone. He didn't want to offend Andy because of Peeld. After all, Andy was too young. The most important thing was that he and Andy had established a good friendship.

"Hehe, Mr. Buffett, don't be angry. I don't have any purpose. I just said it casually. If it troubles you, I apologize..."

Andy smiled. He had no interest in whether the two were acting for himself, but it was nothing. He smiled and said to the two, "Why not? If it's really necessary."

It was already noon after a round of golf, and the three of them had a pleasant lunch in the restaurant on the golf course. In the afternoon, Andy handed over the purchase of Ali shares to Li Xiaoying, the future CEO of Rabbit Country Investment Company.

Andy is very satisfied with Li Xiaoying's work during this period of time. Her small team is almost ready, and it is time for Li Xiaoying to take them to the Rabbit Country. Whether it is Ali, Penguin, etc., a large number of people will come to the United States Listed companies are still in the process of development, and the KE demand for funds is conceivable. Softbank’s Masayoshi Son broke into the top ten of the Forbes rich list simply by relying on the listing of Ali’s family. Andy has to say, The future explosive economic growth of the Rabbit Country is a big cake that no one can imagine, early entry, early benefit! .
