Chapter 383: Multiple investments reached
, The fastest update to Hollywood’s latest chapters starting from animation!
Facing the acquisition of Wells Fargo Bank, Zhu Ke's first reaction was a little confused.
"Hey hey, Zhu Ke, solve my loan problem first." Bei Bald head urged from the side.
"Ok, solve your problem first."
Zhuke can still tell the priorities of things.
With the outbreak of the Internet bubble, the Internet industry across the United States has shown an extremely sluggish state, and there are not a few Internet companies that have gone bankrupt.
Many Internet companies are in a state of tight capital chain!
They all want to use bank loans and other means to ease the company's financial situation, but now, the major banks in the United States are talking about Internet companies' discoloration!
In this stock market crash, not only did many companies fail, but the major banks in the United States were also facing huge amounts of bad debts, bad debts, and dead debts. Many of the dollars that were removed from borrowings would never come back!
Even if Standard Bank of California, Zhu Ke owns 100% equity, he can decide anything in one word, but he must consider the impact!
Therefore, this time Bei Baldou borrowed 500 million US dollars, not for the California Standard Bank to pay, but to borrow from Zhuke, a tripartite contract, to the greatest extent guarantee that Zhuke's assets can be returned in the future.
Not long after...
A simple letter of intent for lending has already been drafted.
The legal staff of Zhu Ke, California Standard Bank, and Bei Shaotou repeatedly confirmed the legality of the clauses.
"Boss, Mr. Bezos, if there are no problems with the letter of intent, we can sign a formal three-party loan contract in one week, and the funds will be transferred quickly," said the bank's general manager.
Hearing this, Bezos was greatly relieved.
He is a very ambitious man, even if he now owns more than 30% of Amazon shares, he still wants more.
"I have had enough of the constraints of those shareholders. I don't take the opportunity to take more shares this time. I am totally sorry for this opportunity given by God!" Bezos was full of pride.
Even though this time the crisis has caused Amazon to suffer a serious setback, he is still full of confidence in Amazon's future.
"It's fine if you are happy, don't forget our agreement, I also want to own more shares." Zhu Ke smiled.
Man, that's Amazon!
Take a look, the current Amazon stock price has fallen below the $10 mark, and soon after, it has even fallen below $2, almost becoming a "fairy stock" that everyone hates.
However, who would have thought that in 2020, Amazon's single share price would exceed $2,000 and become the world's highest single share company.
"As long as the opportunity is right, I can take the 200 times the return." Zhu Ke said inwardly.
There is no doubt that the cooperation between Zhu Ke and Bei Bald this time is definitely a win-win situation.
After all, Zhu Ke had no intention of becoming the chairman of Amazon.
.......
After leaving California's Standard Bank, Zhu Ke immediately contacted his think tank.
Ike Mosinski, male, 48 years old, former head of the investment department of the Polish branch of Swiss Bank, specializing in banking, venture capital, and fundraising;
Ike Mosinski said: "Boss, Wells Fargo wants to buy your California Standard Bank. This is both unexpected and reasonable."
"Oh, how do you say?" Zhu Ke asked.
In the following time, Ike demonstrated his value, and Wei Zhuke provided a set of data.
Well, Wells Fargo's data.
Since 1997, Wells Fargo has become one of the fastest-growing banks in the U.S., with an annual profit increase of 110% to 430%;
Wells Fargo’s savings growth rate is also extremely shocking, reaching 230%~280%;
Wells Fargo’s market value in 1997 was only US$690 million. In the “Banking of America” report published this year, it ranked 21st on the Bank of America rankings, with an overall market value of US$2.27 billion.
"Hey~ The development is strong enough! Well, where is my California Standard Bank ranking?" Zhu Ke couldn't help asking.
Upon hearing this, Ike said in a slightly embarrassing manner: "Boss, your bank failed to enter the top 100."
Well, after learning the result, Zhuke was also a little embarrassed.
Zhuke admitted that, with the exception of his acquisition of California's Standard Bank in 1998, after injecting 400 million US dollars in capital, he has rarely paid attention to it.
"If this is the case, my bank is so bad, then why are they planning to buy?" Zhu Ke asked.
Can't help but ask!
Wells Fargo now cannot be underestimated, but in the future, it will be a giant bank with a market value of up to 200 billion U.S. dollars.
Ike solemnly said: "Boss, with the detonation of the Internet bubble, the entire Internet industry seems to be in a mid-winter moment, and with the intensification of globalization, the depreciation of the US dollar has shown an unstoppable decline. To preserve value, you will inevitably choose multiple investments."
"Gold value preservation is the first choice!"
"Purchasing real estate is also an option. Even in the United States, real estate cannot maintain its value. At least it will make many people's lives better."
"Similarly, with the continued depreciation of the U.S. dollar, there are no shortage of savvy individual investors who will choose bank lending."
Speaking of this, Zhu Ke suddenly realized.
As time passed, the U.S. dollar became less valuable.
That being the case, many American citizens would of course choose bank loans. Compared with the interest, they value how much cheaper they can take from the bank.
Of course, the banks are also willing to let the people take advantage. They can get more returns by running the money.
This is a win-win!
Zhu Ke curled his lips and said: "Wells Fargo is enough for chicken thieves! It is now acquiring our bank to expand its strength and ensure that they can make more money.
I can do it too.
At this moment, Zhu Ke had this concept in his mind, and he also thought of the subprime mortgage crisis a few years later.
Real estate, banks, and Wall Street investment banks are not the focus of the crisis!
Zhu Ke couldn't help but feel happy. "It seems that in the near future, my California Standard Bank will also be able to usher in a big wave of growth!"
Zhuke naturally doesn't want to miss this benefit.
"I dare not expect the market value of California Standard Bank to exceed US$200 billion like Wells Fargo Bank in the near future, but tens of billions of US dollars are always okay." Zhu Ke was mad.
.......
A few days later.
April 10.
Zhu Ke, who holds a large amount of cash, finally reached the investment project he made after the Internet bubble.
A 600 million U.S. dollar stake in Mars, grabbed 6.1% of the shares from the Mars family.
Dove, Snickers, Wrigley...
In the future, Mars will have a number of world-renowned snack brands, and their market value has exceeded 100 billion US dollars. There is no doubt that Zhu Ke's investment is definitely worth the money.
Even in the future, with the continuous mergers and acquisitions of Mars, Zhuke's shares will be diluted, but there is no problem at all with a profit of more than 10 times.
.......
April 13th.
Zhu Ke invested 100 million US dollars to become a shareholder of X.c Company, occupying 30% of the shares.
X.c company, it is an online transaction and payment company, similar to Alipay, X.c company is in the midstream position in today's numerous Internet payment software.
"Many people say I lost!"
"But, I firmly believe that I made it!"
X.c has not yet been listed, and it is not a particularly awesome Internet company, but when it comes to its boss, there are some!
——Elon Musk!
Elon Musk is the founder and boss of X.c. ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ In the future, he will become the boss of American Space Exploration Technology Corporation and Tesla Motors.
A super boss with a personal worth of more than $50 billion.
"X.c company is in the middle of today's Internet payment software, and it is inconspicuous. But I, Zhuke, is a traverser!"
In the near future, X.c will merge with another payment software company, Confinity, to become a new payment company;
In 2001, this newly merged payment software company will formally merge into the international trade payment tool-PayPal;
In 2020, PayPal has become one of the world's largest payment software companies, and it is also a giant company with a market value of more than $200 billion.
"PayPal merchants, Alipay in the U.S., how could I lose money?" Zhu Ke was very thief.
The fifth update of "" was sent, and the owed chapters were finally filled.
