Chapter 111 Equity Swap, Series B Financing

June 26.

At the exhibition center of UPN TV, Zucker, chairman of Kingshuguang Entertainment Group, and Jeff Bezos, president of Amazon, officially signed an equity swap agreement under the witness of many American media.

Zhuke's ICQ shares have a shareholding ratio from 35% to 20%. This 15% of ICQ shares are replaced with 8% of Amazon's shares.

This equity swap does not involve cash transactions, but the equity value involved is no less than US$40 million.

Zhu Ke also became a shareholder of Amazon listed company in one fell swoop!

The personal shareholding ratio is second only to Bezos, becoming Amazon's second largest individual shareholder;

The shareholding ratio, which is ranked fourth among Amazon's individual shareholders and investment banks, is second only to Citibank and FedEx. It has entered the Amazon board of directors and became a member of the executive shareholder.

After the contract was signed, it was naturally a question from a number of reporters.

"Hello, Mr. Bezos, I am Chris Medoldo, a reporter for the Wall Street Journal. I would like to ask you, for what reasons, I chose to exchange shares of ICQ with Mr. Wald?"

A female journalist in her 30s asked the first question.

The Wall Street Journal is one of the most well-known financial newspapers in the United States. It has a century-old history and is a well-known existence even around the world;

The Wall Street Journal reporter Chris Medoldo, who attended the signing of the agreement, is not an ordinary person. Buffett, Soros, Bill Gates, Larry Ellison and other financial and Internet giants have all been interviewed by her.

"Ahem!"

Jeff Bezos stood on the stage confidently and said, "Reporter Chris, we have met for the second time. I can tell you clearly. Tell all the media reporters present that the reason why Amazon Mall invests in ICQ is naturally optimistic about the development of ICQ."

"At present, ICQ has become the largest instant messaging software in the United States and even North America. Even in Europe, Asia, Australia and other places, the number of users is increasing day by day."

"Since that's the case, why don't I join?"

"As we all know, Amazon Mall is the largest online book trading mall in North America, with a huge number of books. Every day, people from all over the United States buy their favorite books through our Amazon Mall."

"Then why don't we allow people from all over the world to buy books on Amazon?"

After the words came to an end, the audience was immediately excited.

Global strategy!

That’s right, all the media reporters present understood Amazon’s big appetite at this moment, and it was about to become a global Internet giant company!

You should know that in the 1990s, whether in the United States or countries around the world, once a company was named "multinational company", its stock price was naturally highly anticipated and its market value soared.

Now that Bei Baldy's speech is released, his Nasdaq stocks will definitely rise a lot tomorrow.

"Bei Bald, he is such a shrewd guy. No wonder Amazon's single stocks are so expensive in the future." Zhuke's heart moved.

Amazon's single stock value will be the most expensive group of stocks in the world in the future.

The value of a single stock is over $2,000;

Of course, its single stock value is much more expensive than Microsoft and Apple.

First of all, investors are optimistic;

Secondly, it is also that the number of shares it issued is only a few hundred million and a hundred billion.

Unlike Microsoft that has continuously issued additional shares, in 2020, the number of shares issued by Microsoft is enough to be tens of billions of shares, so the value of a single stock will naturally be lower.

"Mr. Wald, I am a reporter from Bloomberg, and I want to ask you a few questions," a reporter asked, "A reporter stood up.

"Of course, it's OK." Zhuke naturally wouldn't refuse.

Answering reporters’ questions, it’s a good time to show off. Did you see Bezos showing off just now? Zucker naturally can’t let Bezos dance alone.

Who can't show off?

What's more, the reporter who is asking questions now comes from Bloomberg, the world's largest financial information company.

.........

At this point, Zhu Ke's share of icq has been reduced to 20%.

It seems that Zhuke is taking advantage of by Bet, but he gets 8% of Amazon stock.

Even though from the perspective of today, the development of ICQ is much stronger than the original time and space, Zucker still believes that Amazon is more awesome in the future. Of course, even if ICQ develops with Facebook, it is not as good as Amazon. After all, it is the only giant company in the world with a market value of more than US$1.3 trillion.

Bezos has stake in icq, making up for the disadvantages in the field of instant messaging and has also gained the opportunity to develop Amazon globally.

Overall, this equity swap is profitable for both Zhuke and Bei Bald.

Win-win!

.........

In just a few days.

Icq's Series B financing has also officially started.

In the need to quickly occupy the global market, IQ needs more financial support and more strong allies to support it, so the B round of financing seems very urgent.

You should know that in just a few months, there has been a lot of capital from countries to create their own instant messaging software with their own characteristics.

Of course Icq can't bear it!

Even if IICQ President Weisger can tolerate it, Zhu Ke will not agree!

Of course, the other shareholders of icq, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, etc. will not agree!

"Jeff, I said you made a lot of money. Look, you just joined the IQ board and faced a Series B financing. Your 15% will definitely appreciate a lot. No, you have to compensate me." Zhuke said to Bei bald head.

Upon hearing this, Bei Bald Head almost scolded Zhu Ke for being shameless on the spot.

"Zuke, don't even think about it. My advantage is not that easy to take." Bei bald head curled his lips.

"Haha, you are so boring, I'll just talk about it." Zhuke turned his head aside.

That's right, in fact, Zhuke plotted against Bei's bald head.

As the director of ICQ, Zhu Ke Natural Way ICQ wants to expand its shares and raise funds, but Bei Bald Head doesn’t know!

Bei Baldy is now facing the fact that he has just joined ICQ and has to watch his shares be diluted.

Of course, from a legal perspective, concealment is illegal!

But Zhu Ke and Zhang Wei have avoided these risks in the contract long ago and have also indicated many of them in the supplementary agreement.

Therefore, Zhuke is not afraid that Bald Be will turn against him at all!

Before the official start of the B round of financing, this meeting was very important. So shareholder representatives from five companies, including Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, Sequoia Capital, News Group, and HP Computer, also attended the meeting.

Conference Topic: Is financing in the near future?

Agree or object?

The final answer is of course most votes in favor!

Representatives from Microsoft, Goldman Sachs and other parties are eager to raise funds a few more times, which can attract more allies and increase their shareholding ratio in the additional investment process.

Isn't it just money!

They really don't lack that thing!
Chapter completed!
