The official trading time is scheduled for tomorrow morning.
Set aside a whole night to prepare the contract. Considering that the buyer is very strong and there should be no unexpected changes, Su Yehao is relatively reassured.
On the contrary, the venture capital firm in Silicon Valley, owned by the Abu Dhabi sovereign fund, seems to be worried about the long nights and fears that other buyers with higher bids will emerge from the sky.
then.
The other party rushed to the evening, arranged for someone to contact Su Yehao, asked him to go to the law firm to sign a memorandum of agreement, and offered to pay the deposit first.
After a premium of 12%, the total transaction amount is more than 2.748 billion US dollars, rigorous to two decimal places, the agreed deposit is 30% of the total amount, and the liquidated damages are stipulated to be double the deposit.
When Su Yehao arrived to sign the contract, he wanted to generously give them some change.
However, considering that most of these foreigners were not very good at math and did not care about the hundreds of thousands of dollars in expenses, they were not asked to prepare new documents.
The signature seal given by my grandpa came in handy. After signing, I stamped it and made it in quadruplicate.
The cracks naturally produced during seal engraving have their own anti-counterfeiting effect, making them more reliable than signatures.
Keep one copy for yourself, take one copy from the other party, and keep two copies in the hands of the lawyers of both parties. The memorandum has the signature and seal of the notary.
At this point, the transaction is basically stable.
Su Yehao really wanted to sell, and the other person really wanted to buy. After signing, they shook hands with each other and laughed very happily.
The only pity.
I probably didn't see any white-robed local tycoons, only a few professional managers.
According to Su Yehao's guess, it is estimated that a transaction of this scale is not enough, and he is almost becoming the richest man in Asia, which rarely makes him feel envious.
The main reason is that I envy the royal family for having easy money and being born into the destiny circle.
Find a place to dig a hole, and every time the "kowtow machine" nods, it is an income. In some oil fields in the Middle East, the daily output is as high as thousands of tons, and even two thousand tons are quite common.
Even a money printing machine is far inferior to an oil pump. This is real black gold.
Even if it is just a memorandum, the process is still carried out carefully, so that both parties can feel at ease.
People from the PricewaterhouseCoopers consulting company then handed the bill directly to Su Yehao's assistant. Linda Yun was still on vacation and would not come back until tomorrow.
When I discovered that the bill given by PricewaterhouseCoopers stated that the commission amount was as high as more than 2.7 million U.S. dollars, equivalent to one thousandth of the total transaction price, and it was specifically marked that this was a discounted price, stipulating that after the transaction was completed,
Pay in full within one month.
Su Yehao was almost angry to death.
Until he got into the car, he complained to Vice President Lin Youfeng:
"I seriously doubt that PricewaterhouseCoopers probably just made a few phone calls for me this time. The total call charges were only one or two dollars. How could they have the nerve to charge me more than two million yuan in commission? If I had known better, I would have bypassed this gang.
Guy, you let the news out by yourself, it’s so shameless..."
Vice President Lin Youfeng is wearing a suit and tie, and his leather shoes are so bright that they can reflect light.
Just looking at his temperament, he looks more like a boss than Su Yehao, with the maturity and stability of a middle-aged man.
With a smile on his face, he said to Su Yehao:
"Forget it, when are you going to ask them for help? When do you need to pay? Our ancestors said that a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise. Being able to close the deal so quickly, they can be considered to have played a role in helping to find customers. Maybe the stock price will drop sharply at the opening of the market next Monday.
The loss is much higher than this commission. Today Yahoo has risen by 1.38%, which is equivalent to more than 30 million US dollars. Now it is none of your business if it falls again."
"That's right. These consulting companies specialize in making money from enterprises. Although each one is more pitiful than the other, they are really useful."
Su Yehao complained a few words casually, but actually he didn't take it seriously. PwC is not only responsible for finding clients, but it is also responsible for verifying the identities of both parties and supervising transactions. If any problems arise afterwards, they can go to the people who charge intermediary fees to pursue them.
responsibility.
Change the topic.
Vice President Lin Youfeng smiled and said: "Based on the current situation, it is barely a small high for Yahoo's stock price. I don't know how long this bull market will last. Do you plan to withdraw the money you invested in other companies?"
Su Yehao took out two cigars from the armrest of the seat and said:
"It should be able to continue to rise for some time. There are no signs of ending this bull market in the market. The Federal Reserve is raising interest rates and the number of Internet users is skyrocketing. The key is that there is too much hot money in the Nasdaq market. I am prepared to wait and see for two more years.
Months. I hold too many shares in Yahoo, and it will be difficult to run away when hitting high points. I am no longer worried about other financial projects."
He was afraid that Lin Youfeng would ask some technical and professional questions and it would be embarrassing if he couldn't answer them, so he sighed and asked:
"More than 500 million U.S. dollars in cash were transferred to me as soon as you asked. It was just used to return the bank to release the deposit. One night should be enough. It seems to be Sunday in the port city, so the bank people are working overtime. What do you think the UAE has?
Money? You don’t even need to set aside time to raise funds. You will be ready to send me the balance after signing the contract tomorrow, which makes me very busy. I will have to contact several banks for loans later.”
"Anyway, you hold shares in the Yaomoji Group. It won't be too much trouble to discuss changing the pledge with the bank and signing a few documents. I don't know how much money they have, but there are at least hundreds of billions of barrels of oil buried underground in the UAE. Recently,
The price of crude oil is sluggish, at more than ten dollars per barrel, and the cost of extraction should not exceed one dollar, which adds up to more than one trillion. When oil prices pick up, it will probably cost more."
After Lin Youfeng finished speaking, he asked the driver to open the sunroof and found that the bulletproof glass was about six centimeters thick.
The name of this series "Phantom" was something he had never heard of before.
After asking, I learned that a few years ago, a Southeast Asian royal family spent money on customization, which allowed Rolls-Royce to resurrect the name of the Phantom series from a pile of old antiques, and produced more than a dozen extended version of the bulletproof Phantom.
Prices range from US$1.4 million to US$1.8 million, and customers are either rich or expensive.
Su Yehao's car is one of them, and he has benefited from the royal family, otherwise he would have to wait a few more years before he can ride in the Phantom...

Send Lin Youfeng to the company and make an appointment to meet directly at the law firm tomorrow morning.
on the way home.
Su Yehao accidentally discovered that there were several raccoons on the roadside, chasing a wild cat around.
Silicon Valley sounds like a high-end place, but today's environment is very much like the urban-rural fringe. In terms of urban landscape... there is almost no one.
but.
You must admire the amazing technology ecosystem in Silicon Valley.
You need technology, you need capital, you need talent, and although Hong Kong City is quite wealthy, the rich don't have the habit of investing in research and development.
In terms of technology and talent in the high-tech industry, it is even more barren, even far inferior to that in the mainland.
Thinking of Mr. Zhang Rujing's reminder again that it would be best to place the first wafer foundry in the port city first, and then find a way to open a branch factory in the mainland when conditions are mature, Su Yehao felt that he should listen to his advice.
Therefore, he was worried about how he should reach out to Hong Kong officials to ask for policy support.
Countries including South Korea, Japan, the United States and other places have created a relaxed development environment for high-tech enterprises, with not only financial subsidies, but also tax and talent training support, which is a blank area in Hong Kong City.
Now even the Cyberport is a land jointly owned by Su Yehao and others, and they will have to pay for the construction later out of their own pockets.
When I think about dealing with higher-ups, I will inevitably have to move around again, and my head will instantly feel as big as a bucket.
Think about it.
He decisively sent a message to scare people. Afraid that Vice President Zheng Yongwen would pretend not to see the news, Su Yehao held back and first asked him how the restructuring work of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange was progressing...
