Rebirth 76: Industrial Internet Empire

Yang Mo nodded cheerfully and said: "Okay! I invested the remaining 180 million US dollars, and the corresponding equity should be 24%, right? But I have two conditions..."

"What conditions?" Li Yanhong asked.

"These 300 million US dollars must be spent within half a year! Also, for every round of financing that Baidu will raise in the future, Zhiyuan Group will automatically obtain the right to lead the investment!" Yang Mo continued.

Li Yanhong nodded: "There is no problem in automatically obtaining the right to lead the investment! Zhiyuan Group is well-known in the industry as an investor and has never had any estrangement with the founder team. It is just that within half a year, it will spend 300 million US dollars. Isn't it a bit Too hasty?"

"Now is the window period for the development of Internet companies. Burn money quickly to gain time, grow as soon as possible, and prepare to meet the challenge of Google in the not too distant future!" Yang Mo said in a deep voice.

"Is Google ready to enter the Chinese market? Mr. Yang, is this news accurate?" Li Yanhong asked in surprise.

Yang Mo nodded and said: "Of course it is accurate. You may not know that Andy Ventures, a subsidiary of Zhiyuan Group, is also one of Google's major shareholders!"

There was a trace of panic on Li Yanhong's face. He knew very well what it would mean for the newly born Baidu once Google entered the Chinese market.

Yang Mo waved his hand and said: "You don't have to worry too much! I will help you buy some time and try to let Google enter the Chinese market a few years later. You have to take advantage of the buffer period in these few years to grow up quickly!"

What Yang Mo said made Li Yanhong so moved that he wanted to kowtow to him. Such investors are really hard to find even with a lantern...

After pondering for a moment, Li Yanhong said as if he had made a lot of determination: "Mr. Yang, I promise you to burn all 300 million US dollars within half a year. The next Series A financing will depend on you. …”

"If you cooperate with Zhiyuan Group, you don't have to worry about money!" Yang Mo said domineeringly.

In fact, Yang Mo is not worried that Baidu, which has just been established, will be defeated by Google. Li Yanhong, like Nanshan Pizza Hut, is an imitation genius. In the next few years, he will throw out one bomb after another and become the first in China. Start a profitable Internet business!

What Yang Mo was thinking about was how to get their controlling stake to stop his barbaric growth without a bottom line...

After signing the equity financing agreement with Baidu, Yang Mo took a flight to San Francisco.

When they returned to their home in Hillsborough, San Francisco, Channing and others were already waiting at home in advance.

"Mr. Yang, is the time ripe now?" Lin Xi asked excitedly.

Yang Mo nodded: "I'll give you one month to quietly establish a short order for the 06-012 Nasdaq futures 100. You don't need to consider the safety of the position, but the funds should be dispersed into the market as much as possible, so as not to cause market panic..."

Li Heping asked with some worry: "Mr. Yang, Nasdaq is in a crazy bull market. It is easy to establish a short order. I think the position should not be too heavy, right? In case something goes wrong and we don't have sufficient reserves, we will Will be very passive..."

Yang Mo waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter! In the past six months, I asked Melo Bank to prepare a large amount of funds for this short-selling plan. After completing the short position in the Nasdaq futures, we reduced our holdings of Cisco, Sun, and Palm in batches. , eBay, Oracle, Yahoo, Amazon, Google stock..."

Li Heping said in surprise: "Isn't this not good? Reducing so many stocks at once will cause investors to resent Zhiyuan Group and Qianhai Asset Management listed companies, and the US Securities Regulatory Commission will also intervene in the investigation!"

Yang Mo pondered for a long time and then said: "I can't care about that much! Qian Ning, during the period of opening a position in the Nasdaq futures, he increased his stake in Vivendi and Ubisoft Entertainment Software to 30%, and after violating the mandatory tender offer rules, he purchased Vivendi. In the name of Ubisoft and Ubisoft Entertainment, we applied to the Securities Regulatory Commission to reduce our 5% stake in Cisco..."

"Peace, you ask Kishida Mie to contact Time Warner, Universal Music, and Bertelsmann on behalf of Qianhai Media Group, and reduce the shares of Sun and Palm in the name of raising acquisition funds..." Yang Mo then ordered.

"Mr. Yang, the market value of these media giants is as high as [-] billion. If we want to acquire them, we may lose our controlling stake in Sun..." Li Heping said worriedly.

Yang Mo waved his hand and said: "Don't worry! As long as our plan to short Nasdaq succeeds and bursts the bubble of Internet companies, all Internet companies will be reduced to cabbage prices in the past two years. No one will be spared. Qianhai Asset Management must take advantage of this opportunity to become the world's largest multinational media group and control the media for my own use!"

"Baicai price? Will Amazon also be reduced to cabbage price?" Qian Ning asked in surprise.

Isn’t the position of chairman of a listed company worth hundreds of billions of dollars still hot?This is going to be reduced to cabbage price, why can't Qian Ning be in a hurry?

"So within two months, we must try our best to get more short orders for Nasdaq futures 06-012 and reduce our holdings of more shares of listed companies without causing market panic! If we want to do this This is not easy, any transaction must withstand the investigation of the US Securities Regulatory Commission..." Yang Mo nodded and said.

New York Stock Exchange.

Investors' enthusiasm for Internet companies has reached a fever pitch.

The Nasdaq index exceeded 4800 points, and the 5000 point mark is close at hand.

The Nasdaq rose from 1996 points in 1100 to the current 4800 points in just four years, creating countless wealth myths.

Various versions of overnight riches stories excite investors.

Apple, Google, Cisco, Sun, Oracle... these great Internet companies almost all came out of basements and garages, and eventually stood out and grew into listed companies with hundreds of billions of dollars...

Stories of holding Internet company stocks skyrocketing dozens or even hundreds of times are circulating everywhere. Why can't such a story happen to me?

Under this accumulation of crazy emotions, the Federal Reserve first smelled the danger. In order to curb economic overheating and rapid growth of inflation, the Federal Reserve announced a second interest rate hike. The benchmark interest rate was adjusted from 4.75% six months ago to 5.25%. , liquidity was further restricted, and the cost for transnational capital to obtain funds began to soar sharply...

However, the series of precautionary measures taken by the Federal Reserve did not quell the enthusiasm of investors. Buying orders were surging on the New York Stock Exchange, and the Chicago Board of Trade was not far behind. The short orders sold by Qianhai Asset Management affiliates were broken into pieces. Soon to be devoured...
