When I returned to the hotel, I couldn't fall asleep, but when I opened my eyes, it was almost noon, and Cai Zhiliang immediately got up and took a shower.

Perhaps because he heard the sound of water flowing, or perhaps because he thought it was already noon, Wei Min knocked on the door.

After Cai Zhiliang opened the door, Wei Min asked for instructions: "Mr. Cai, should you go downstairs to eat at noon, or should you ask the waiter to bring it up?"

Cai Zhiliang felt that he needed to take a lunch break later, so he said: "Wait for me and go downstairs to eat."

Cai Zhiliang changed his clothes and went downstairs with Wei Min.

"Mr. Cai, Qi Heng from the North American Investment Department came here early in the morning and has been waiting for you for half the morning." Before entering the elevator, Wei Min reported Qi Heng's itinerary.

"Ask him to have dinner with us." Cai Zhiliang nodded. It seemed that lunch break was difficult.

When Cai Zhiliang arrived at the restaurant, Qi Heng, Wu Kai and others had already eaten. Cai Zhiliang, who had not eaten well last night, naturally chewed his food carefully before going to a business conference room with Qi Heng.

"This is the investment of the past six months." Qi Heng took out a document from his handbag and handed it to Cai Zhiliang, recording in detail the companies he invested in and the profits.

Cai Zhiliang glanced at it, and there were still some companies that he remembered, such as Oracle, which ranked high on the list, and its stock price rose from US$45 to US$75.

"This Oracle company will continue to acquire from the market." After Cai Zhiliang finished speaking, he pointed at the rows of English letters, which did not look like a high-end technology company, and asked: "What are these?"

Qi Heng then introduced Cai Zhiliang one by one, but they were all companies related to Coca-Cola. As Coca-Cola's stock price continued to rise, they also benefited from some light.

"There is also Berkshire Hathaway. Since last year, it has purchased a large number of Coca-Cola shares from the market. The stock price has risen from more than 3,300 US dollars to 6,200 US dollars. It is estimated that it will double by the end of the year."

After listening to Qi Heng's introduction, Cai Zhiliang lost interest in understanding and put the document aside.

"Your energy should still be focused on Oracle, Microsoft, IBM, etc., which are either in the Internet field or have something to do with semiconductors. They are the high-tech companies I told you about last year. We have invested too much money in Coca-Cola.

." Cai Zhiliang said: "If you take a long-term view, you can consider venture capital, or the kind of technology companies that are related to semiconductors and the Internet. It doesn't matter if you lose money. As long as one company succeeds, it will be enough for us to make a fortune.

"

The Coca-Cola Company invested too much, and perhaps it should gradually withdraw its investment. Cai Zhiliang suddenly felt that he needed to go to New York to settle the matter.

"Don't worry, I will adjust the investment direction as soon as possible." Qi Heng said quickly.

"Sit..." After saying this, Cai Zhiliang thought of Cisco again and asked: "Is Cisco going to be listed soon?"

"It is already being prepared and is expected to be listed early next year." Qi Heng hurriedly reported the information obtained from his investigation to change Cai Zhiliang's impression of him, saying: "As far as I know, the founders of Cisco, Leonard Posak and his wife,

I had a disagreement with the board of directors and wanted to sell the stocks in my hands. I tentatively asked, and they asked for a very high price, 70 million US dollars."

"How much Cisco stock do the couple still have?"

Qi Hengdao: "According to my research, they currently hold about 35% of the stock. Cisco's current valuation is about US$100 million."

Based on a valuation of US$100 million, the shares held by Leonard Posak and his wife are only worth US$35 million. However, this is a valuation, which is much higher than the actual value of the company. Now, Leonard

?The Posaks’ asking price is higher, doubling the valuation of investment institutions.

"If you buy it, talk to the couple about it. It would be best if you can reduce it by a small amount. If they insist, $70 million is fine." Cai Zhiliang said, although the value has increased by 20% compared to when Sequoia Capital originally invested.

times.

After seeing that Cai Zhiliang didn't seem to be joking, Qi Heng said: "I will contact the couple."

"As soon as possible, don't delay." Cai Zhiliang warned, "Notify Citibank to find a suitable buyer for the 2,000 shares of Berkshire Hathaway we hold. The sooner the better.

Thinking about the rising trend of Berkshire Hathaway's stock, it shouldn't be difficult to use it as funds to acquire Cisco stock."

Qi Heng advised: "Mr. Cai, Berkshire Hathaway has seen an obvious rise, and it is not cost-effective to rashly acquire Cisco, which has an uncertain future. Moreover, the value of these 2,000 shares of Berkshire Hathaway stock is

Just over $10 million."

The value of this stock is only one-tenth of the value of the Cisco shares held by Leonard Bosak and his wife.

"Payment in installments, this is the first payment."

Such a large sum of money must naturally be paid in installments, which can greatly alleviate financial pressure.

Cai Zhiliang, however, had no time to argue with Qi Heng and asked: "The North American investment company and offshore funds that I asked you to register before are ready?"

"We are ready. Golden Deer Investment Company is officially cross-controlled by four offshore companies and funds, but it is an investment company solely owned by you." Qi Heng briefly introduced the composition of the investment company and said: "Do you want to entrust the company?"

Transfer stocks in Citibank to Deer Investments?”

"It's not urgent." This was 1 billion U.S. dollars. Cai Zhiliang had not yet decided whether to hand over such a huge amount of money to Qi Heng, and said: "Let's go to New York together in a few days, but before that, you

Let’s contact the founder and his wife of Cisco first, I want to know the result as soon as possible.”

Qi Heng said: "The couple are in San Francisco, I will go there in the afternoon."

"Okay, let's get to work."

Since there was nothing else to do, Cai Zhiliang issued an eviction order so that he could go back for a lunch break as soon as possible.

"Mr. Cai, Chen Yong from Donglai Trading Company's North American office would like to come over and ask for your instructions to report on his work. Do you want to meet him?" Wei Min came over and asked.

"No, just let them ask Grid for instructions directly. There is no need to come to me." Cai Zhiliang had to worry about everything, and Cai Zhiliang was so exhausted that he refused directly.

Wei Min said: "Chen Yong said that he had already asked Greed for instructions and just came here to see you?"

"Have you asked for permission?" Since you have told Greed, why do you come to see him? Besides, when I met Greed at the beginning of the month, I didn't hear him say anything important, so I asked casually: "Where is Chen Yong now?"

Because of its large Chinese population, San Francisco has always been the first stop for Chinese coming to the United States, and the office of Donglai Trading Company is also located there.

"He is in Los Angeles and should arrive soon."

"Then let him come over and ask what's going on." Cai Zhiliang glanced at Qi Heng who was about to leave and asked, "Do you know Chen Yong?"

"I know that many of Donglai's business clients in San Francisco were introduced to him by me." Qi Heng owns a bank. Although it is inconspicuous, it still has a large number of Chinese clients.

The Chinese, as a group, rely on hard work to make a fortune quickly no matter where they go.

"Do you know what he's been doing lately?"

Naturally, what Cai Zhiliang asked was not an ordinary matter. Qi Heng couldn't think of anything special for a while, and said: "It has been four years since Donglai Trading Company established an office in San Francisco, but it has been unable to open up the North American situation. This is

When Donglai Trading Company changed its manager, Gray

The reason for the airborne landing in Germany. Now compared with Europe, it is said that the sales in Europe in the first half of the year have exceeded 50 million U.S. dollars. Although the sales in North America have increased a lot compared with previous years, they are still less than 5 million U.S. dollars. Chen Yong should this time

It’s for this reason.”

"What's the use of coming to me for this kind of thing?" If Chen Yong came to him because of this matter, Cai Zhiliang wouldn't mind changing his position on the spot.

Soon Cai Zhiliang met Chen Yong, a middle-aged man who was not tall and already had signs of baldness.

"Mr. Cai..."

"Sit down." Cai Zhiliang pointed to the chair next to him.

"Thank you, Mr. Cai." Chen Yong sat down and said, "I have already reported this matter to President Hill. He said that you are in Los Angeles and asked me to come over and ask for your instructions."

President Hill is Greed, his full name is Greed Hill, but most people call him Mr. Ge. When President Hill said this, it was the first time he heard it, so he was a little stunned.

Seeing that Cai Zhiliang was speechless, Chen Yong said: "As early as the 1960s and 1970s, the textile industry in North America was completely destroyed by the impact of the Japanese textile industry. It has long since become non-existent. Today, North American retailers, fashion brands, or

Imported from Europe, or imported from East Asia. Taikoo

Trading has been deeply involved in the North American market since the 1950s, and has good relations with major retailers and chain shopping malls. Coupled with the quota system, it has basically monopolized the textile trade between North America and Hong Kong, so that even the Donglai Trading Company

The selling price is lower, but it has been unable to open up the situation."

"Let's get to the point..." Chen Yong said for a long time. He was not just talking nonsense.

Chen Yongdao: "I think that if we can acquire Taikoo Trading, we will be able to solve the problem once and for all."

"As long as your President Hill can convince Swire Group, I have no objection." Cai Zhiliang asked: "The acquisition of Swire Trading is not something that happens overnight. Is there any other way?"

"Don't worry, President Hill was originally working in Taikoo Trading. In the past two years, it has been much worse than before." Chen Yong said: "We are not afraid of price wars. Even if we transfer from Nanyang, Thailand and other countries, it will still be cheaper than Taikoo Trading.

.Mr. Cai, in today’s business society, no one will have trouble with profits. It’s just that the funds may be a bit too much.”

"Let's go and do it." Cai Zhiliang nodded. How could he let go in such a big market in North America?

"Thank you, Mr. Cai." Chen Yong stood up with a look of surprise on his face.
