Zhao Fusheng nodded: "Wait and see, I think Zuckerberg may be more worried about this than us."
Dong Chenxi smiled, she naturally understood what Zhao Fusheng meant.
As Zhao Fusheng said, indeed, Mark Zuckerberg is more worried than them.
"Go and stay with your boyfriend."
Zhao Fusheng waved his hand and asked Dong Chenxi to leave: "By the way, don't infer anything without sufficient intelligence support. Maybe their purpose is something we don't understand."
When I said this, I was naturally persuading Dong Chenxi as a friend and a boss.
There is nothing wrong with her, except that she is too strong.
"understood."
Dong Chenxi waved his hand, expressing that he remembered Zhao Fusheng's words.
In fact, she also knew that Zhao Fusheng was doing it for her own good.
After all, to this day, although my position is very stable because of Zhao Fusheng's support, there are also people who are eyeing it. If something happens, even Zhao Fusheng can't easily protect me.
Watching Dong Chenxi leave, Zhao Fusheng sat on the sofa and remained silent for a long time.
Carl Icahn is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Since he stepped into this industry, Icahn has skillfully used leveraged buyouts, hostile takeovers, proxy fights, board attacks, the use of the media, and inciting minority shareholders. Various capital and non-capital Means, frequent hunting on Wall Street.
Icahn admired Napoleon very much.He really enjoys the feeling of having his opponent collapse or surrender after battle after battle.
Its prey list includes: Yahoo, Time Warner, Viacom, Apple, Motorola, MGM, Texaco, Nabisco, Western Union and many other giants.Wherever he went, there was a "bloody storm".
Moreover, Icahn dislikes Buffett very much, and the two have had disputes more than once.
And their dispute stems from the conflict between the two investment philosophies.
Buffett represents value investing.He always chooses valuable enterprises for long-term investment, and obtains excess returns through enterprise growth and compound interest.He and the management are win-win, so some kind of tacit agreement can always be reached.
Icahn stands for radical speculation.He likes to choose undervalued companies and force companies to change quickly according to his intentions through hostile takeovers and other methods to increase stock prices.He was always on the side of shareholder interests, often in direct conflict with management.
Zhao Fusheng, on the other hand, belongs to the category of value investing.
That's what worries him.
In fact, Buffett's early investment philosophy is very close to that of Icahn.Influenced by his mentor Graham, Buffett advocated investing in "cigarette butt stocks" (undervalued companies) during the client financial management stage and the early days of Berkshire.If the cigarette butt stocks do not rise after buying, you will continue to buy into the board of directors or even a controlling position, which will eventually promote the realization of the company's value and exit with a profit.
However, this investment method requires hard work for these not-so-high-quality companies, and it is difficult to find such cheap stocks later. Therefore, starting in the 70s, Buffett gradually gave up this investment model.
Icahn is like another Buffett in an alternate universe.
He chose to stick to this investment model and take it to the extreme.
This has brought him staggering payoffs.
In the 43 years from 30.00 to 20.00, Icahn's annual return on investment reached [-]%, while Buffett's Berkshire was only [-]%.
what does this mean?
It means that if someone handed over [-] US dollars to Icahn in [-], the amount will exceed one billion US dollars by now.
There is no best way to invest, only the best investors.Even though he has embarked on a completely different investment path, this does not prevent him from becoming a Wall Street legend as famous as Warren Buffett.
But now, such a person expressed his interest in Facebook, how could Zhao Fusheng not pay attention to it.
of course,
Ask yourself, in fact, Zhao Fusheng also appreciates his behavior.
The premise is that Zhao Fusheng is not clear about the market value of Facebook.
After all, according to Icahn's method of operation, he will maximize the interests of shareholders, not for the company or the managers of the company.
But now, Zhao Fusheng knows that after Facebook goes public, its market value will not only exceed 2000 billion US dollars, but may even reach [-] trillion US dollars.
In this case, unless Zhao Fusheng is crazy, it is absolutely impossible for him to stand by Icahn's side.
This is the same as being a puppet army in four or five years or cutting your braids at the beginning of the last century.
It is undoubtedly a very stupid behavior to make a choice when it is the least appropriate to make a choice, and it is a particularly wrong choice.
In this case, Zhao Fusheng couldn't easily choose to stand in line.
Whether it's Zuckerberg or Icahn, it's the same.
Therefore, silently hiding his sharp teeth, sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, is what Zhao Fusheng is most willing to do.
Because no matter which side wins in the end, they need themselves.
Chapter 856 Zhao Fusheng's Calculation
Zhao Fusheng made up his mind to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, so naturally it was impossible to make a random move.
Because whether the Wolf of Wall Street wins or Mark Zuckerberg has the last laugh, he can benefit.
This is undoubtedly very good for Zhao Fusheng.
The strong's shots against the weak are often defined according to different situations.
Some people don't care, some people don't want to cause trouble, and some people are just pure shameless.
But Zhao Fusheng feels that the current situation of Facebook is different from most of them.
In the eyes of outsiders, it may be difficult to understand why I choose to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
After all, you have to know that Mark Zuckerberg has been working with him for many years, and this website has been continuously injecting funds into the future investment from the very beginning.
Zhao Fusheng chose to watch from the sidelines, which was a bit too ruthless.
But Zhao Fusheng knew very well that perhaps doing so by himself was the result Mark Zuckerberg would most like to see.
What is the real Mark Zuckerberg like?
On this point, the movie "The Social Network", which will be released in about a few years, will give a complete answer.
Zuckerberg once declared: For any social network, if it wants to survive and thrive smoothly, it must rely on network effects.Only by continuously expanding the user base can the value brought by the network effect achieve rapid growth.Therefore, if Facebook wants to successfully realize its development vision, it is not enough to develop the best business functions, we must build the best community.Yes, I want to be successful, so sometimes you have to beat someone, but beating someone is not my intention, nor is it my usual practice.
But in fact, according to Zhao Fusheng's understanding, Zuckerberg is a very competitive person.
He is keen on controlling the company. If Zhao Fusheng hadn't insisted on it before, he even planned to let Sean Parker leave, and he would be the chairman and CEO.
Moreover, he also controls approximately 60.00% of the shareholder vote, which relies on preferred stock with ten times the voting power of common stock.
