All along, the US consortiums have been eyeing Feng Yu's businesses. Many of Feng Yu's businesses are not controlled by the US consortiums. In fact, the US consortiums only have shares in many of these businesses.
But there is a very important rule. You can control these businesses, but you must have shares in them. Feng Yu also agreed to this condition. With the help of the US financial groups, his company will be able to develop faster and better. Feng Yu will not suffer any losses.
But there is another rule. You must allow the US consortiums to invest in your businesses and give them some help.
Simply put, it is an exchange of benefits. If not, Feng Yu might not be able to build a company that can defeat Feng Yu, but he can still cause trouble for Feng Yu and reduce his profits.
The world's largest consortium is Japan, and the second largest is United Arab Emirates. The US and Europe cannot compete with Feng Yu.
However, in terms of close ties, Europe and the United States were better. Their interests were intertwined. Compared to others who can climb to the top of the pyramid and be on equal footing with them, the US and Europe are more concerned about not falling down and staying at the top forever.
Feng Yu's businesses, AMD, Nvidia, and Kingston, not only have shares from the US consortiums, but they also have investments from the Abu Dhabi consortium. In fact, Intel also has investments from the Abu Dhabi consortium.
Wind and Rain Holdings only owns 40% of AMD's shares. This is because they have more listed shares, but they own 51% of the voting rights. AMD is already the world's second largest CPU manufacturer. Even if Feng Yu wants more voting rights, AMD will not agree. Also, Feng Yu does not have any veto rights in this company.
Kingston, Wind and Rain Holdings also does not have absolute shares, but they have veto rights. Wind and Rain Holdings can stop any decisions that are detrimental to Wind and Rain Holdings.
Nvidia was the same as Google. Wind and Rain owned close to 70% of the voting rights. Absolute control was just giving the founder more power. This was also a personal promise from Feng Yu. If the other party did not do anything overboard, Feng Yu would not ruin his own reputation.
Now, it was obvious that the other party wanted Feng Yu to give up his absolute controlling stake. This was not impossible, as long as the other party offered suitable benefits.
Feng Yu would not agree to give up his authority for no reason. He could ask Nvidia to issue more shares, but the shares would not dilute his voting rights. However, Nvidia might not agree.
If it was just to automate the port and let the high-speed railway have an experimental section, the benefits would be too little. Feng Yu would not agree to it. Moreover, Feng Yu was here to invest. Why would he sell his shares?
Reed saw Feng Yu's attitude and explained. "Feng, think about this. What we need is to stimulate employment and economic development. But you are not willing to give in to us and still want to make many of our workers lose their jobs."
"That's right. You are talking about expanding Amazon's logistics business and increasing the number of couriers. But without this port, you all are not going to increase the number of couriers? "
You all can't use this investment as a favor to ask us to give in to you.
Furthermore, I am only asking you to give us the chance to enter the management level of those companies. I am not asking all of you to enter the management level. Why are you reacting so strongly?
Are we not going to give you the chance to enter our management level? How many times have we invited you? We hope you can become one of the directors of Wells Fargo or US Bank. If you are willing, you can even be the CEO. Can other consortiums give you such good conditions?
But they do not understand Feng Yu. In other people's eyes, the CEO has a lot of power. The CEO is in charge of the company's administration. But a CEO is only an employee. Will Feng Yu work for the Americans?
They are not worthy!
Feng Yu leaned back on the sofa. "I said Amazon will not do their own logistics business in the future. Even if they do not do their own logistics business, it will lower our profits."
"I can choose not to invest in the ports. How high do you think the profits will be? Can it be compared to my investments in other industries? Can it be compared to the IT industry? "
"You all are saying you all will give in on the ports, and I will give you some of my IT profits. Don't you think this is a joke?"
"Do you think your California consortium can stop my companies from developing in the US? Or do you think the Obama administration dares to target my companies? If I remember correctly, the Obama administration had invited me to the US to invest and gave me an important promise. My companies will not be targeted. "
Why did Feng Yu let AMD, Nvidia, and Kingston set up factories and R&D centers in Hua Xia? If anything happens, Feng Yu can start from scratch and stop the companies in the US from operating.
At the same time, this is a threat to the US. If the US government dares to target Feng Yu, Feng Yu will let the companies there go bankrupt. At most, they will sue Feng Yu, and many people will lose their jobs in the US.
"How about this? I will give you a promise. Facebook will be listed in two years, and I will give you all the rights to subscribe to the shares. You all do not doubt Facebook's profitability, right? "
Amazon, Google, etc. also need money to expand, but they are not issuing shares. Instead, they are taking loans and operating in debt. If they cannot get loans from other banks, they can get loans from Min Sheng Bank.
Not only Feng Yu, but the rest of the shareholders also felt these companies will be profitable in the future, and it is not worth it to issue shares now as it will lower their dividends in the future. If these companies run into difficulties, they can issue shares anytime, and they can buy all the shares they have subscribed to.
The US was afraid of Google. It was a company that had a huge influence on the internet, or rather, a company that could influence the entire internet world in the US, and it was actually a foreign company.
If emerging media such as Facebook and Twitter are all controlled by foreign investors, it will be unimaginable for the US consortiums. This will greatly harm their interests.
"Feng, Twitter must also be included." Reid's eyes lit up. If these two companies could allow him to invest in them, then he would have made a big contribution this time, and he would be able to get a lot of benefits.
"Sure, but Utubo, Rotten Tomatoes, etc. will be separated." The US will not be afraid of these companies, and there is no need to give them too much profits.
Most importantly, Feng Yu will have connections with one of the US consortiums, and he can participate in the distribution of the US's wealth.
Maybe he can do this again …
