Chapter 622 That guy was born a gambler (seeking a monthly ticket)(1/2)
"Come, cheers, congratulations to our little Trelle for becoming a billionaire!"
Old Gates held the wine glass, touched his wife gently, and then raised his glass to his son together to signal that it was the most satisfying masterpiece in their lives.
As for the nickname of Trey, it is the nickname given to his grandson by Old Gates' mother.
"Little Bill, congratulations, you are about to become an idol of the whole nation!" The sister also picked up the wine glass excitedly, and she was also happy for this younger brother.
Billionaire, this is a noun that can make people crazy, and now it has fallen on his younger brother.
Although Gates is 31 years old this year, he is not married yet, so he often returns home, especially in such a happy moment, and he also hopes to share it with his family.
His calm cheeks were also flushed, and his hands holding the wine glass were trembling slightly: "Thank you, thank you, but success is important, but learning from failure is even more valuable."
"Oh, little Trey, now you should enjoy the joy of success like other young people."
"Child, this is the advice my mother gave you. Don't be calm at all times. Learn to enjoy life. You are over thirty years old, so you should consider your partner..."
My mother started to talk about it again that urging marriage is also global.
Just as the phone rang, Bill hurriedly ran to answer the phone, and a very soothing female voice came from inside: "Mr. Gates, I am Margarita, congratulations on becoming a billionaire!"
Margarita, in Latin, contains the meaning of pearl.
The figure of an elegant oriental woman immediately appeared in Gates' mind, and his face immediately became entangled.
The other party bought Microsoft's stocks last year, and Microsoft's stocks are very healthy. Apart from the R&D team, there are not many outstanding shares on the market.
But the other party acquired more than 5% of the stocks from the company's senior management at a relatively high price, becoming Microsoft's third largest shareholder, the kind that can participate in the board of directors.
This is also called Bill's feeling particularly contradictory: the other party is optimistic about the development of the company, which is a good thing.
But Microsoft is Bill's all efforts, and he feels like his own cake has been stolen by others.
So his mood is very complicated at the moment.
And his mother blinked at Old Gates: "It seems like it was a lady's phone call. Our little Bill is not in love, right?"
Old Gates could only shrugged helplessly. It seemed that all mothers in the world were the same.
Beside the phone, Bill quickly calmed down: "Ms. Margarita, have fun together."
Qian Yuzhen on the other side began to talk about the topic after a few polite words: "Mr. Gates, I want to transfer the restricted shares in my hand. Do you have any intention of repurchase?"
Bill's heart trembled for a moment when he heard it. He now holds forty-five percent of Microsoft's shares. If he acquires more than five percent of the shares in the other party's hands, his holdings will exceed fifty percent.
Absolutely holding, this is quite tempting for him.
Unfortunately, he couldn't do that. Although he was a new billionaire, he didn't have that much cash in his hands.
After a while of confusion, Bill could only decline. He was a little confused: after being stimulated by becoming a billionaire, Microsoft's stocks must rise, so why should the other party take action at this time?
After putting down the phone, Qian Yuzhen spread her hands at Liu Qingshan, and actually called Gates, but she just walked through the motions politely and knew that he would definitely not be able to afford it.
The next thing is the key point. Qian Yuzhen called out a few more phone calls, including executives of Goldman Sachs Investment Company and several well-known Wall Street investors.
The news soon summed up Liu Qingshan: Goldman Sachs has the intention to acquire it, but the price is only 50 US dollars per share.
This is clearly a robbery. When Microsoft closed last week, the price had exceeded 60 US dollars, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that it would also usher in a wave of increases.
In fact, Wall Street analysts gave a prediction: Microsoft's stock has a more reasonable valuation of about one hundred dollars.
"It's really a group of vampires."
Liu Qingshan laughed after hearing this. These speculators on Wall Street are indeed even more cruel than wolves.
The other companies had similar prices, and the most conscientious one gave them $60 per share.
You know, Liu Qingshan and the others now hold nearly 400,000 Microsoft shares.
After calling, Qian Yuzhen couldn't help but feel a little angry and muttered: "A group of greedy guys, see how I slaughter them in the future!"
"Sister Yuzhen, don't be so murderous. Killing is illegal."
Liu Qingshan couldn't help but quip when he looked at Qian Yuzhen. He was quite open-minded, and capital's nature is to pursue profits.
When Qian Yuzhen heard Liu Qingshan’s joke, she quickly calmed down. She worked as an investment banker and always kept her mind calm. She was still a little short of time now.
And at this moment, she put it in her bag on the table and suddenly rang out a ringtone.
Qian Yuzhen took out a heavy mobile phone from it, commonly known as Big Brother, and started answering.
Liu Qingshan looked at Qian Yuzhen with a beautiful appearance and was holding a large mobile phone. The scene looked awkward, and it felt like a beautiful woman was holding a brick to photograph people.
After Qian Yuzhen answered the phone, her face looked a little excited:
"Aoyama, Jim Rogers called him. He is an independent investor and is very interested in Microsoft's stock. He is also in Los Angeles. If we are interested, we can meet and talk."
"Rogers? OK, let's ask him for a while." Liu Qingshan also blinked. He could not have thought that he would sit with a well-known Wall Street investor so soon.
Qian Yuzhen thought Liu Qingshan didn't know Rogers, so she introduced:
"This Mr. Rogers has a very accurate investment vision. He has had several classic investment cases, and it is often not a good thing to be targeted by him."
Liu Qingshan nodded: "I will be careful."
Of course he knew that Mr. Rogers was as famous as the Asian economic crisis maker and the great philanthropist.
They first jointly founded the famous quantum fund, but later Rogers chose to go solo with more than 10 million US dollars and became an independent investor.
In more than ten years, my net worth has long exceeded one billion.
With his unique investment vision, he not only foresaw the bursting of the island country's bubble economy, but also shorted it.
Even this year's major US stock market crash, he also gained huge returns by taking short positions.
This is also a man who has cheated, so Liu Qingshan certainly will not despise him at all.
Qian Yuzhen called back another phone call, and the two sides agreed to a cafe. After lunch, Liu Qingshan went to the appointment with Qian Yuzhen.
Grace also had to be a driver, but Liu Qingshan asked, the cafe was not far away, and the afternoon sun was just right outside, so he chose to walk.
In the quiet cafe, Liu Qingshan met this long-famous Mr. Rogers.
The other party looked in his forties, his forehead was a little bald, and his forehead looked particularly big, as if it was full of wisdom.
Rogers had a faint smile on his face and shook hands with the two people in a friendly manner. At least from the outside, he was a trustworthy person.
"I'm glad to shake hands with Ms. Margarita, who is known as the beauty of the Oriental Hand."
Rogers first said hello to Qian Yuzhen, and then his deep eyes fell on Liu Qingshan, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes:
"Oh, Mr. Mountain, is it you?"
He could not have imagined that the real person behind Longteng Investment was actually a famous musician recently. It seemed that these two industries had a bit of a span.
Although Rogers also likes to listen to music to soothe and keep calm, listening to music and creating music are two different things.
"Mr. Rogers, I'm glad to see you."
Liu Qingshan also smiled and nodded.
Rogers hugged him enthusiastically: "Mr. Mount, the song you played is very touching, so after listening to it, I immediately donated one million US dollars to improve the lives of the Aboriginal people."
"Oh, you have caused me to lose a million, so Mr. Mountain, you can ask for today's coffee."
I have to say that Rogers is a very charming person and can easily make people feel good about it.
After seating, they ordered a cup of coffee, and Rogers got to the point:
"Mr. Mounting, Ms. Margarita, it doesn't seem like a good choice to sell Microsoft's stock at this time?"
He was not in a hurry to discuss business, but instead stood from the other party's perspective to help him think.
Compared with those Wall Street Wolves who are red-eyed, he has such a demeanor. No wonder he can stand out among the many investors, and it is indeed unique.
"We need a sum of cash." Qian Yuzhen didn't go around in circles. She didn't think she could hide anything from such an old fox.
Rogers nodded: "Oh, that must be a big deal."
After saying that, he put his hands on his chest, and his two thumbs were around him.
Anyone who is familiar with him knows that Rogers's move shows that he is thinking.
About a minute later, Rogers put down his hands and looked at Liu Qingshan calmly: "Mr. Mountain, are you not optimistic about the current stock market?"
In recent years, the US stock market has been in a bull market. Just like cooking oil in the fire, Rogers can understand the upcoming stock market crash from the madness. This calmness and wisdom are really rare.
Liu Qingshan also looked at Rogers quietly, and he was also thinking about the meaning of Rogers' words: whether it is literal or has a deeper meaning.
I am not optimistic about the stock market, so I am ready to sell stocks.
But did Mr. Rogers, in front of him, guessed that Longteng Investment was preparing to free up funds and also shorted the US stock market?
Liu Qingshan felt that the latter was more likely, after all, the other party also foresaw a major stock market crash that was about to happen.
So he smiled and said, "I just think that Microsoft's stock will have a round of crazy rise in the near future, so I want to eat some meat."
He had made up his mind: no matter what, his intentions must not be exposed.
Rogers blinked: "Oh, then Mr. Mountain, I'm going to buy your Microsoft stocks, including those restricted shares at a price of eighty dollars per share."
This price is already higher than the weekend closing price of 20 US dollars, and among the buyers Qian Yuzhen contacted, the bid is also the highest.
Even Qian Yuzhen was a little moved and looked at Liu Qingshan.
