Chapter 135 Layout
After the others left, Li Zetian, Yu Jingqiu, and Buffett still stayed at the Hilton Hotel.
Li Zetian likes to be straightforward, so after the three of them sat down, Li Zetian said directly: "Mr. Buffett, I want to buy shares in Berkshire Hathaway. Do you agree? I believe that if I buy shares in Berkshire Hathaway Berkshire Hathaway will definitely bring huge benefits to Berkshire Hathaway. I believe you should know that I have three companies under my name, Apple, Microsoft and Sunbird. These three companies are It is a leader in the industry and has very good economic benefits. If the company makes money, it will naturally not put all of it in the bank, but use part of the funds to invest. If I were a shareholder of Berkshire Hathaway, then Berkshire Hathaway must be the first choice!”
When Buffett heard this, he couldn't help but lower his head and think deeply. He thought, in addition to what he said above, Chronos Li is also a world-famous wealth myth. If he can invest in Berkshire Hathaway, he will definitely make Berkshire Hathaway. Hill-Hathaway has become an investment and financial management company favored by the world's richest people, making them willing to hand over their assets to us for management. In this way, the company's funds become stronger and the money it earns increases. More (in addition to handling fees, there is also revenue sharing)!
Buffett did not think for too long and made an immediate decision. He smiled and said to Li Zetian: "Chronos, I very much welcome you to invest in Berkshire Hathaway. I believe other shareholders of the company have the same attitude as me! And I believe that the introduction of strategic investors like Chronos·Li will greatly promote the company’s business development!”
"Thanks!"
"Chronos, I wonder how much stock you plan to hold?"
"At least 20%!"
Buffett frowned slightly, but soon relaxed.
"I will hold a shareholders' meeting to discuss this matter after I return to the company, and then I will inform you!"
"Yes!" Li Zetian nodded and immediately asked, "Mr. Buffett, please estimate, if I want to hold 20% of Berkshire Hathaway's shares, how much capital would I need to invest?"
Buffett shook his head and said: "I'm sorry I can't answer you for the time being. Accurate data can only be obtained after discussion at the shareholders' meeting!"
"Well, okay then! Come on, drink!"
Li Zetian smiled and picked up the wine glass...
After returning home in the evening, Yu Jingqiu asked Li Zetian curiously, "Is this Berkshire Hathaway company very powerful? Is it worthy of your attention?"
Li Zetian leaned his head back on the sofa, and then replied: "It's not that Berkshire Hathaway is great, but Warren Buffett is great! With him here, Berkshire Hathaway will definitely be better." Develop into a Fortune 500 company! Well, let me tell you this, if you gave Buffett $10,000 in 1956, it might become hundreds of millions of dollars in the future!!!"
When Yu Jingqiu heard this, her beautiful big eyes were filled with surprise, and her sexy and charming mouth opened slightly.
Li Zetian smiled, hugged her into his arms, and asked: "What? Don't you believe it? In fact, if you look up the development history of Berkshire Hathaway over the years, you will Full of admiration for Buffett. Berkshire Hathaway was originally a textile factory on the verge of bankruptcy. Under Warren Buffett's careful operation, it changed the textile factory into an investment company. In 1968, the funds under Buffett's control increased to US$104 million, of which US$25 million belonged to Buffett. In this year, the stock market was booming, but Buffett informed his partners that he decided to gradually liquidate almost all the stocks held by the company. In June of the next year, The stock market suddenly took a sharp turn and gradually turned into a stock market crash! However, Berkshire Hathaway escaped because of Buffett's shrewd decision!
From 1970 to 1974, the U.S. stock market was like a deflated rubber ball, lifeless. Continued inflation and low growth pushed the U.S. economy into a period of "stagflation." At this time, Buffett finally took action and bought a large number of cheap stocks. In 1972, Buffett focused on the newspaper industry and secretly eroded the "Boston Globe" and "HSD Post" in the stock market. Due to his intervention, the profits of "HSD Post" increased significantly. If we invest in Berkshire Hathaway at this time, we can enjoy the benefits! ! ! And I believe that under Buffett’s management, Berkshire Hathaway’s profits will be greater and greater in the future! "
"According to what you say, Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway are really worthy of our investment!"
"Of course. There is no store like this in this village. It's a rare opportunity. And after investing, we don't need to manage it. We can enjoy huge dividends every year. Why not?" Li Zetian said with a smile. .
As he spoke, Li Zetian's hands began to be dishonest and he touched Yu Jingqiu's clothes.
"I hate it~~ Go take a shower first!"
"Hey, let's take a bath together!"
What happened next immediately became indescribable...
The next day, Buffett held a shareholders' meeting to discuss Li Zetian's investment.
He said: "The joining of Chronos Li will help ensure the successful development of Berkshire Hathaway, because Chronos has a very good business acumen and has created three very successful companies at a young age. He is a Unprecedented genius!"
Major shareholders nodded one after another and had no objection to Li Zetian's investment in Berkshire Hathaway.
Buffett continued: "However, Chronos Li requires at least 20% of Berkshire Hathaway's shares. Do you have any opinions on this?"
Someone said: "Actually, this request is not surprising! It only took two years for Chronos`Li to create the myth of billions of dollars of wealth. If a legendary figure like him wants to invest in a company, he must have enough say. , if his shares are too small, he will definitely not do it! If his joining can bring huge benefits to the company, I agree with him holding 20% of the shares!!"
"I also agree that if he just founded a company and succeeded, it might be just an accident. But Apple, Microsoft, and Sunbird have all achieved results that have attracted the world's attention. This is not an accident, but the strength of genius. To my knowledge! As far as I know, he personally designed all the best-selling products of these three companies: Apple's Apple-l, Apple-ll and Walkman, Microsoft's BASIC and Excel, and Sunbird's "Chinese Cube" and "Eat". "Bean Man", "Donkey Kong", "Super Arkanoid" and Game-Watch. In addition, his investment vision is also admirable. For example, he invested in Mos Technology Company, and the best-selling Mos6502 microprocessor is The company's product, Mos6502, is also one of the key factors in the success of Apple-ll; another example is the investment and acquisition of Gary Kildare's operating system, which allowed Microsoft to almost monopolize the 8-bit personal computer operating system market. In addition, Sunbird The acquisition of Atari allowed Sunbird to dominate the U.S. video game market!”
"Yes, Chronos Li is indeed amazing!"
"He is such a genius that no one in the world can match him. It is no exaggeration to say that Chronos Li is the most dazzling myth and legend of this era! When I think that he is only 20 years old now, I really can't imagine his future. What a great achievement will be achieved!!!”
"If such a peerless genius can join Berkshire Hathaway, it will definitely be a blessing for the company, and I also approve of his investment!"
"I agree too!"
"..."
Seeing the support from shareholders, Buffett concluded: "Okay, since everyone agrees that he holds 20% of the shares, let's discuss how much capital he needs to invest?"
After half an hour of discussion, US$100 million was finally decided.
When the meeting ended, Buffett immediately called Li Zetian and informed him of the incident.
The price is a little expensive, but since it is an active investment, the premium is normal. Berkshire Hathaway's future market value will reach more than 400 billion US dollars in 2016, and its annual income is very high. The shareholder dividends alone are a huge amount of income!
"Mr. Buffett, I completely accept this price!" Li Zetian said, "After I raise enough funds, I will sign an agreement with you immediately! This should not take more than a month!"
"OK, all right."
After ending the call, Li Zetian immediately called Thomas Rockefeller and planned to borrow money from Chase Bank.
"Hello, Mr. Rockefeller, I'm Chronos."
"Oh, hello, Chronos. It's rare for you to call me. What's the matter? Can you ask me for anything?"
"Yes, I'm going to personally borrow $100 million from Chase!"
The other end of the conversation paused for a moment, obviously thinking.
After coming over for more than ten seconds, the other party replied: "Okay, I will tell the other directors of Chase Bank, I think Chase Bank will definitely be willing to lend you a loan! However, 100 million US dollars is not a small amount, it is best to come up with it Need valuable items as collateral.”
"I can give away some of my Apple shares."
"Well, that's no problem."
"Okay, thank you Mr. Rockefeller, then I won't disturb you..."
The next morning, Li Zetian went to Chase Bank and successfully obtained the loan. In the afternoon, I contacted Buffett and signed a shareholding agreement with Berkshire Hathaway.
The day after the agreement was signed, Berkshire Hathaway held a press conference and announced that Berkshire Hathaway would issue additional shares. Apple founder Chronos Li invested US$100 million to become The company's second largest shareholder, holding 20% of the shares, second only to Buffett, who holds 38.6% of the shares.
As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused a huge sensation!
Berkshire Hathaway suddenly became a company that attracted the attention of the whole world!
For a time, Berkshire Hathaway's stock was immediately sought after by investors, and countless wealthy people were discussing whether to hand over their money to Berkshire Hathaway for financial management.
Thomas Rockefeller couldn't help but be shocked. Only then did he know that Li Zetian had used the loan to invest in a company. What surprised him even more was that a month later, the shares of Berkshire Hathaway in Li Zetian's hands were The value increased by 27.3%, which means a profit of $27.3 million!
"Oh, God, is Chronos so good at making money?!" Thomas Rockefeller sighed in a low voice, feeling very emotional. Then his eyes lit up and he smiled, "It seems that I will have to deal with him more in the future. I will never be like this again." For opportunities to make money, the Rockefeller family must also participate!”
After saying that, Thomas thought about something and couldn't help but sigh, "Oh, what an outstanding talent, why did he get married? Otherwise, Chronos would have been introduced to Julia, the most beautiful woman in the Rockefeller family. He would definitely be attracted by Julia. Attracted by her peerless appearance, yes, absolutely! No man can resist her temptation!!!"
Li Zetian invested in Berkshire Hathaway without any hesitation, which was considered a small plan. Berkshire Hathaway's business scope includes the insurance industry, candy industry, media, diversified operations, non-bank finance, investment, companies of different natures or conglomerates, many of which involve Li Zetian He didn't understand it, so by investing in the company, Buffett was helping him make money in an area he was unfamiliar with. In terms of high technology, including computers, the Internet, robots, artificial intelligence, etc., Berkshire Hathaway rarely gets involved, but this is an area that Li Zetian is familiar with, and he will naturally set up his own investment company to invest.
Li Zetian needs to make a lot of money to change the world!
He wants to make rapid progress in medical technology during his lifetime, solve difficult diseases, and extend human life!
He wants to make aerospace technology advance by leaps and bounds in his lifetime and realize interstellar immigration as soon as possible!
He wants to make breakthrough progress in artificial intelligence, energy, biology, materials, etc. in his lifetime!
