My Age of Investment

"I'm fine. I can resign from all positions and only retain my shareholder status."

Xia Jingxing smiled, "As a shareholder, it should be fine!

If an opponent attacks Facebook for having a Chinese shareholder, will the White House intervene? "

Gates heard the sarcasm in the other party's words and didn't care. He was also very upset with the authorities, and he could use whatever sarcasm he wanted.

"Just as a shareholder, it must be no problem, this is a normal economic exchange.

If even this has to be controlled, then the United States should simply learn from China's "Late Qing Dynasty" and close the country and play on its own.

Whoever wants to "anti-globalization" will be the first to be spared by Wall Street and consortiums. "

Xia Jingxing nodded, at least he had to live with his face.

If there is a commotion and foreign capital flees because of cleaning up oneself, then the loss outweighs the gain.

The current American leader is not as crazy as the later one.

Strictly speaking, the Facebook company is registered in the United States, it also solves employment in the United States, pays taxes in the United States, and promotes technological progress in the United States...

I made a little money myself, and I didn't say that I would transfer the money away soon.

Domestic BATs are all dominated by foreign capital. The reason why the Rabbit government can tolerate it is that the foundation, taxation, and indirect economic stimulus are all in the country.

On the one hand, it is the background of "exchanging the market for technology", and on the other hand, the rabbit has indeed gained a lot of benefits.

Ali, a company, stimulated the economic growth of a city in Lin'an, and transformed it into a new economic city.

On the other hand, Americans are indeed more arrogant than rabbits, and it doesn't matter if they bear some infamy.

As long as technology, economy, military, etc. are still in the leading position, you will be forced to play if you don't play.

So if you want to do it yourself, you won't have as many worries as Rabbit Country.

Of course, the current plate is not big, Facebook is valued at tens of billions of dollars, and its own share is only billions of dollars.

Moreover, Facebook has not yet been listed, it is just a valuation, and its position in the social networking industry and the video industry cannot be said to be completely consolidated.

It's hard to say how real and attractive these billions of dollars are.

Such a small piece of cake is not worth the bad influence that the Yingjiang government has to bear.

But if it is tens of billions of dollars or hundreds of billions of dollars, and Facebook has already been listed by then, and its position in the industry is completely consolidated, then the huge value will be revealed immediately.

At that time, it really became a big fat sheep! It is worth a shot by Eagle Sauce, because the effort is directly proportional to the gain.

Xia Jingxing was never afraid to speculate on the Yingjiang government with the worst malice.

Because I have seen too much in previous lives, what kind of bullshit contract spirit, the robber gene in my bones cannot be washed away by my ancestors for generations.

It's time to think about retreating!

Seeing Xia Jingxing's silence, Gates thought about it and decided that it would be better to explain everything in one go.

"Daren, because Facebook is an AB share, you need to convert all the B shares with 10 voting rights into A shares with only 1 vote.

In addition, in order to consolidate Christina's right to speak on Facebook, you also need to delegate voting rights to her.

Also, Christina's equity is only 4.86%, which is too little, and it doesn't look like the founder of a company that has only raised three rounds of equity.

Considering that there will be financing in the future, her equity will continue to be diluted. Even if the AB shares are executed, she cannot guarantee her right to speak in the company.

The best way is that you resell 10%-20% of the equity to her! "

After the sentence of transferring equity was uttered, needles were heard in the meeting room!

This is no longer cutting power, but starting to weaken equity.

Andrew coughed, "You don't necessarily have to transfer the equity to ensure the right to speak in the company?

Wouldn't it be nice to change B shares into 1 share with 50 voting rights? "

Andrew originally wanted to speak for Xia Jingxing and protect the latter's rights and interests.

But he didn't want to be ridiculed by Gates, "Mr. Andrew, what about us? The voting rights of our shareholders are probably a decimal point.

Moreover, this kind of equity structure is not conducive to attracting investment in the future.

Because after the investment, you have almost no right to speak. If you are an investment institution, you are willing to invest hundreds of millions of dollars in exchange for voting rights with decimal points? "

"Isn't it good to make money? DST is such an investment idea, and I think it's very good."

Andrew was not afraid of Gates, the richest man, and argued with a smile.

"After all, there are only a few institutions with DST's investment style, and they may be the only one in the world, which is completely opposite to the investment style of the entire Silicon Valley."

Gates continued: "Leaving this aside, Darren currently holds more than 60% of Facebook's shares, even if he does not hold any position in the company, he is still a well-deserved major shareholder.

The outside media reported that he holds more than 40% of the shares, which has already attracted criticism from many Americans.

If you know the true shareholding structure, I am afraid that the public opinion will be even more heated.

These things cannot be hidden forever. Facebook will go public in the future, and relevant information will need to be disclosed.

Therefore, I think it is necessary to make plans early and sort out the ownership structure first.

Dylan is a major shareholder who has no sense of existence. Even if the public is jealous, those officials in the White House will not take any measures against Facebook.

At the same time, it is best not to hold more than 50% of the shares of this major shareholder, or even more than one-third. "

Gates swept around, and said: "You believe me, I will never harm everyone, because everyone is a community of interests.

It might be unfair to Darren to do so.

But as long as the company does not leave any flaws and moves forward in a healthy and steady manner, all these losses can be earned back.

On the contrary, as long as the company is out of business, no matter how much stock you hold, it is just a pile of waste paper. "

Following Gates' gaze, all the shareholders lowered their heads and did not rashly go along with each other.

Gates looked at Xia Jingxing again, and said sincerely: "You just quit Facebook on the surface, but I hope you will continue to serve as a consultant for Facebook and provide suggestions for the development of Facebook.

I asked many Facebook executives, and they all mentioned that you are a creative person.

You will not hold any position at Facebook in the future, but you still hold a large stake in Facebook.

The better Facebook grows, the bigger the stakes for you.

You have an ancient game in China called chess, right? There is a trick in it, called "abandon the car to protect the handsome".

If you step down as CEO and transfer part of the equity, you can protect greater wealth.

Darren, you are a smart young man, you should know how to choose! "

Old John also nodded in support: "Mr. Gates is right, the strongest fortress is breached from within.

Facebook seems to be invincible at present, but your Chinese identity is always a hidden danger, and people with ulterior motives will always hold on to it.

Now the public thinks that you earn too much. Before, some people maliciously spread rumors, saying that you are a spy and that the information of Facebook users is not safe.

In the future, such speech may never disappear.

Darren, you know what I mean, right? "

Xia Jingxing nodded, he understood what the old man meant, it was a metaphor for racial discrimination.

It is estimated that the old man may have guessed that even if he is naturalized, there will be competitors who will continue to hold him.

As a person of yellow race, he could never be accepted by white circles.

Old John said again: "How about this, let Christina be the CEO for a few years first, and when you are fully naturalized, you will return to Facebook and continue to be the CEO.

During the blank period in the middle, you fade out of Facebook, but you are still secretly planning for the company. "

The old man Gates said: "That's fine, as long as you don't let your opponent take advantage of it."

"Let's talk about this first today!"

Old man John made a final decision, looked at Xia Jingxing and Yang Niu again, smiled and said, "You two go home and discuss it yourself!"

The old man Gates was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that since the two are related, wouldn't it be equivalent to swapping the left hand for the right hand, so there is no need to be so entangled?

Then he thought, the two are not yet married, and they are involved in conflicts of interests, so it's really hard to tell what the outcome will be!

Even if they are really married, according to their American habits, they have to be clear about their finances.
