Bellad sat on the bed in the hotel. After returning from the headquarters building of Motto Bank, Bellad has been sitting here. He himself forgot how long he had been sitting. He just stared at the phone on the table over there.

Bellad felt that he must be crazy, otherwise how could he run to Motong Bank with a plan and ask for a loan of $500 million? That's $500 million, and his Amazon valuation is only a few million at most. The difference is as huge as the Empire State Building and the shack.

But I actually came back and waited for the result. Do I really think that those guys in the bank said that they asked me to come back and wait for news were not polite?

Bellad laughed at this and even imagined the guys in the bank laughing at him after he left. They would definitely think that he was an ignorant boy. If anyone could borrow $500 million from the bank with some inexplicable plan, he would be afraid that the bank would have gone bankrupt long ago.

And this is Motto Bank! The industry of the Morgan family, the godfather of Wall Street, has never seen any world before, so I am really embarrassed this time.

After sighing, Bellad wondered again how Zhou Ming would let himself do such an unrealistic thing? Was it Mr. Zhou Ming's prank? But it doesn't look like...

Just as Bellad was confused, the phone in his room suddenly rang. Bellad picked up and answered it. A completely incredible reply came from there: Hello Mr. Bellad, I am the supervisor of Motong Bank. I am lucky to notify you that the loan you applied for in our bank has been approved and you can come to our bank to handle the procedures at any time.

Bellad was stunned at the time. Did he actually pass? When he thought this was impossible and felt that this was a prank that Zhou Ming deliberately made, the bank actually notified him to pass.

Bang!

Bellad slapped himself hard. As the burning pain came, Bellad grinned and laughed loudly, even danced with joy: "Really, this is all true!"

Of course, immediately afterwards, Bellad felt that Zhou Ming was the boss who came from the magical place in the East.

Bellad quickly reported the good news to Zhou Ming.

Compared to Bellad's ecstasy, Zhou Ming's performance was much colder, because this was nothing that Zhou Ming expected, and Morgan had no reason to refuse.

Then Zhou Ming also instructed Bellad to let him go to Motong Bank to sign a contract with him, and Motong will most likely raise some conditions such as controlling equity.

Bellad reassured Zhou Ming that he met a lawyer friend in New York, who would bring it with him when signing the contract. In addition, he also expected that Motong Bank would make an idea of ​​equity, but he said it didn't matter and even thought it was a good thing, because no matter how much Motong Bank asked, once the company went public, a large amount of capital poured in, which could easily dilute Motong's equity. If he wanted to continue to have the right to speak, he could only invest more, and his additional investment was what Bellad wanted to see more.

This answer really reassuring Zhou Ming. It seems that Bellad has considered all these things.

However, Zhou Ming also understood that if Morgan really wanted to play tricks, it would be useless no matter how well prepared it was. Zhou Ming even believed that Morgan did not need to be scheming on this issue, so Zhou Ming did not ask much when he learned that Bellad had considered it.

After hanging up the phone and reporting the matter to Zhou Ming, Bellad then went to the headquarters of Motto Bank. A supervisor connected with him for business. As expected, everything was the same as Zhou Ming thought. The supervisor came up and explained to Bellad that Motto Bank could release this loan, but the premise was to have some of Amazon's equity. He explained that the bank needs to ensure Amazon's financial situation.

This requirement is reasonable and is within the scope of Bellad's plan, so Bellad agreed very happily, but it was the only way to have a certain difference in the specific share of the equity.

Motong Bank requires 51% of the shares, but Billard cannot agree anyway, because this is equivalent to handing over the company to the bank. Moreover, even if there is no need to talk about equity control, he knows that as long as Amazon goes public, the company's market value will skyrocket by billions and buy half of the $500 million? No matter how short-sighted Billard is, he will never agree.

Similarly, Motong Bank will not agree to the proposal of only 10% of the shares that Billard proposed. This proportion is too small. If there is any problem with the company, the bank will not be able to stop it as soon as possible. Too little equity will make the bank unable to control the risks and the loan will not be issued.

Bellad and Motto Bank each had their own opinions. They negotiated the exact amount of shares alone for a whole day, and in the end, they achieved a 24.9% result in the evening.

This amount is undoubtedly very interesting, because according to Amazon's current equity system, this share is stuck in Motto Bank and cannot interfere with Amazon's operations at all. However, at the same time, the shares held by Motto Bank occupy a very important position in Amazon.

After signing the agreement, Motong Bank gave the money to Amazon very happily, but it was not cleared at one time, but was given in stages.

In fact, Bellad disagreed at first because the package of plans written by Bellad to fight for this loan is Amazon's long-term plan, which may take ten years or even longer. Therefore, if it is given in stages and the money will be obtained in ten years, what is the meaning of this loan?

Of course, the reason for Motong Bank is also very legitimate, and it is still uneasy about the use of funds. After all, it is 500 million US dollars. If Billard launders money through certain channels, puts the money into his own pocket, and then runs away, Motong Bank will lose a lot. Although this is a situation that no one wants to see, it is also a result that Motong Bank cannot ignore.

Therefore, there was another round of negotiations between Bellad and Motong Bank, and finally determined the loan method and time, and finally wrote it into the agreement.

Although he was exhausted by the long negotiations, after the agreement was signed, Bellad was excited to report the situation to Zhou Ming.

Then, as Zhou Ming had expected in advance, when Amazon obtained a loan from Motong Bank, Bellad received a call from the exchange the next day, saying that Amazon had passed the review and could be listed at any time.

This efficiency makes Zhou Ming sigh: It is still the old giants like Morgan who have deeper roots in the United States.

Bellad called to invite Zhou Ming to ring the bell for Amazon. This is the rule for listing new stocks on the exchange. The legal person of a newly listed company will invite some friends to ring the bell. On the one hand, it is to hope to achieve great success in the future, and on the other hand, it is to show the company's connections.

Of course Zhou Ming understands this, but Zhou Ming adheres to the fact that he is not in Taiwan

Before the previous Principle went, he called Piero to see if he wanted to go.

Piero also had the same idea as Zhou Ming, but he recommended the president of Motto Bank and the chairman of Columbus TV. It would be enough to have them stand up to Amazon.

Zhou Ming told Bellad the news. Bellad was very happy and thanked Zhou Ming for his help.

This is also the best result, because if Zhou Ming or Piero is really invited, except for the wealthy families, most investors may not know each other, so this expression will be wasted. On the contrary, it is not as good as the bosses of Motong Bank and Columbus TV.

After helping Amazon determine the guest ringing the bell, Zhou Ming will not ask more questions because Zhou Ming has other things on his own.

In fact, Zhou Ming hurried back from New York this time. Apart from Amazon, the rest is more about the stock market.

When Zhou Ming went to Columbus TV to plan American idols, the stock market did not stagnate. On the contrary, the competition was very fierce every day, especially in the Internet industry that could not prepare for valuation. The rise and fall of various stocks every day were as exciting as roller coasters.

Zhou Ming often paid attention to the stock market when he was in New York, but at that time he was alone and had no professional analysis team. Moreover, his focus at that time was on American Idol programs, so he didn't invest much energy. Now when he returned to San Francisco, he naturally had to figure out what happened in the stock market as soon as possible so that he could plan for the next step of planning.

Caitlin did not disappoint Zhou Ming. She has been paying attention to the situation of the stock market and has analyzed the situation of the stock market for a whole month. Now that Zhou Ming proposed, she gave Zhou Ming a month's analysis report and explained it to Zhou Ming herself.

But although Caitlin has a lot of analysis reports, it can be summarized in two words: chaos.

Caitlin told Zhou Ming: "The stock market this month has been a chaos, with funds from all parties entering the market one after another, but today they are long and short. Although there are traces to the careful analysis of the actions of these forces, in general, the whole situation is still relatively chaotic because everyone has no clear goal, and they are just competing with each other in the battlefield of the stock market."

Zhou Ming nodded. This situation was as expected by him. Even if it weren't for this situation, he wouldn't be able to sit still in New York.

"However, such a chaotic situation has caused the gradual decline of the Internet industry," Caitlin said.

This result is not difficult to understand. Due to the chaotic situation of the Internet industry, if it rises today and falls tomorrow, in order to stabilize, capital will either choose to join forces or avoid war. Compared with the complexity of the first type, the second type is the first choice for most capitals.

As most capital gradually withdraws from the Internet industry, the overall decline of the Internet industry will be normal.

Zhou Ming made a quick decision: "This is a good opportunity for us to buy at the bottom."

Caitlin also took out another document and told Zhou Ming that these companies were selected by her and were more suitable for investment.

Zhou Ming looked at Caitlin in surprise, but unexpectedly she had already prepared.

Caitlin smiled shyly: "Because according to the popularity accumulated by American idols for Amazon, Amazon's listing will definitely bring about a new round of Internet craze. If we buy in advance, we can make a big profit."

Zhou Ming waved his hand: "Then buy these!"
