    Immediately after the production and launch of Dreamsnow, Xiao Qi has naturally been planning to acquire shares of Alibaba Group for more than a year.  <

    However, to be precise now, it should be acquired by Yahoo.

    Speaking of which, American financiers have long been aware of this.

    Because since October, there have been rumors that there is a huge mysterious fund actively negotiating for the acquisition of Yahoo stock.

    By early October, many companies had been sold. Although Yahoo's stock on the market has been falling, the decline has been lower than that of similar stocks.

    After October 25th, even ordinary investors saw that Yahoo¡¯s stock fell lower than Google¡¯s. This is completely unscientific.

    However, the entire market was in a panic and plummeted, and Yahoo had no substantial asset performance to support it. Therefore, under the propaganda of thoughtful people, many retail investors took this as an opportunity to escape from the stock market and concentrated on selling.  yahoo stock.

    At this time, due to the impact of 54% on the 75% standard for privatization and delisting, Tong Wencong no longer cares about the price. As long as the remaining institutional investment shareholders are willing to sell, then whether it is a premium of 30% or 50%, he will  They all paid directly to buy it.

    Even a Wall Street fund company, because it held a huge 4% stake in Yahoo, spent a total of 1.2 billion U.S. dollars, and its valuation almost reached 30 billion U.S. dollars. At this time, Yahoo's market value did not reach 13.2 billion U.S. dollars at all.  Dollars!

    However, all the efforts are worth it.

    One week after the crazy acquisition that started on the 25th, at noon on Monday, October 31st, Tong Wencong formally applied to Nasdaq on behalf of Dake Fund Company: because of the stock capital account in the name of Dake Fund Company.  We have successively purchased 76.2% of Yahoo's shares, so we have officially decided to privatize and delist.

    At the same time, Dake Fund Company also submitted the specific stock repurchase plan for privatization and delisting to the Nasdaq Stock Market, allowing them to review it for the remaining institutions and shareholders to negotiate for full privatization.

    As soon as this news came out, the entire Nasdaq market was shocked.

    Also at the same time.  Because with the lifting of confidentiality clauses, many investment banks and fund companies have also discovered the specific transaction prices.

    Through calculations, journalists with extraordinary abilities revealed directly on the news program that night that this mysterious Dake Fund company actually acquired 76.2% of Yahoo shares and may have spent more than 15 billion U.S. dollars.

    A company with a current market value of only US$13 billion, a company without any good performance support, can actually be acquired for a price close to US$20 billion.  I really don¡¯t know if this company has money and no place to spend it.

    With this money, what¡¯s wrong with buying Google, Amazon, or Microsoft?

    What a fool!

    But Americans are also very pragmatic. Although Dake Fund is a company established in the International Financial District, they all use real money to trade. Apart from the reasonable application of rules, there are no illegal practices.

    On the contrary, their investment in the United States has also increased U.S. taxes.  This has reduced losses for U.S. stock investors and allowed the U.S. stock market to recover to a certain extent.  That is a great thing worth encouraging!

    But what many people didn¡¯t expect was that Tong Wencong operated very quickly.

    Three days later, on Thursday, representatives of small shareholders and Dake Fund Company, headed by Tong Wencong, negotiated a 43% premium acquisition agreement and signed the agreement.

    From this point of view, Dake Fund can make a lot of concessions.  The 43% premium is much higher than the average privatization delisting price of about 30%, and it really satisfies the remaining small and medium-sized shareholders.

    Then, on the night when the agreement was signed and came into effect, the Fox News TV station in the United States broke a piece of bombshell news.

    The company Dake Fund seems very mysterious.  But if the English letters of this fund company are interpreted using the Chinese pinyin, they are the two syllables of "big" and "ke".

    Although there are many ways to pronounce these two pronunciations, if you follow one of the spelling methods, it is the Chinese word "Dake".

    If the two characters "Dake" and "Dake" are spelled together in Chinese, it is the word "Qi".

    Which rich man in China can spend 20 billion US dollars to buy Yahoo?

    Which rich man has the word "Qi" in his name?

    Then there is only Xiao Qi, the richest man in the world!

    Of course, Fox Company is not just relying on fantasy speculation, they also have a lot of collected evidence.

    First of all, the negotiator Tong Wencong who came forward this time has a very close relationship with Xiao Qi. He had also??Xiao Qi had acquired imax and successfully privatized imax. This time, he helped Xiao Qi acquire Yahoo with ease.

    Then, Fox News interviewed Yang Zhiyuan, the former CEO of Yahoo.

    Yang Zhiyuan excitedly told reporters that Xiao Qi was eyeing the excellent assets in the hands of Yahoo. He once offered 10 billion U.S. dollars to buy 40% of the Alibaba Group's shares in Yahoo's hands, but he refused.

    Now that Xiao Qi has finally seized the opportunity and extended his clutches to the entire Yahoo company, no one can really stop him from acquiring Alibaba stock, which has huge future development potential!

    It is worth mentioning that Yang Zhiyuan absolutely disagrees with Xiao Qi¡¯s privatization, but among the remaining stocks, the vast majority of people agree to sell the shares. According to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Law, he does not  Anyone who resists can only sell his Yahoo shares to Xiao Qi at the negotiated price, and will have nothing to do with Yahoo from now on.

    Moreover, in today¡¯s economic environment, few people can afford such a large sum of US$20 billion in cash.  ¡ª¡ªYou read that right. In order to complete the privatization of Yahoo as soon as possible, Xiao Qi gave all of it directly in cash. This is what makes investors big and small the happiest and one of the reasons why they trade readily.

    ¡°It would be fine if Dake Fund is a joint-stock fund, but Fox News also found out that Dake Fund is a private fund. In this way, things seem to be clearer.

    The news announced by Fox News is even more shocking than the acquisition of Yahoo itself.

    And most people believed Fox News¡¯s inference.

    Countless investors and commentators were stunned.

    They couldn¡¯t understand why a smart person like Xiao Qi would acquire such a company with no development potential at all?

    You mean their search engine?

    Google and even China¡¯s whiteness has surpassed Yahoo. Yahoo¡¯s search engine has a global share of less than 10%!

    You said their company¡¯s good assets?

    Please!

    Yahoo¡¯s decline began with random investment. The broken companies and broken technologies they had in their hands were worthless at all.

    As for the Alibaba Group that Yang Zhiyuan himself boasted about, it is just an online shopping platform website in China. It is not large in scale now, with a few million people at best.

    Based on the consumption level of Chinese people, what development potential do you think it has?  Could it be worth $10 billion?  Do not make jokes!

    Even if it beats eBay, it will only rely on its no-charge free policy. Who can be sure how long the free policy will last?

    Anyway, many people made their own comments that night and the next morning, but except for Yang Zhiyuan, who was very envious and jealous, no one felt that the acquisition was worth it.

    Xiao Qi did not disappoint everyone. On the morning of the second day after the agreement was obtained, which was also the evening of China time, he announced through his Weibo account that Dake Fund was his private fund and the person who acquired Yahoo.  It's him!

    "Thank God, I finally bought the shares of Alibaba and Japan's Yahoo! Their value will exceed your imagination! Please remember this sentence, let's see again in five years!"

    Following his sentiments, countless people forwarded and posted their own comments on Weibo.

    "Xiao Qi has money and nowhere to spend it. Does he think this is still the age of Yahoo? Why not buy Google, whose value has also plummeted? You are no longer my idol!"

    "Haha, the world of rich people is really confusing. If you give me 20 billion US dollars, I will definitely be able to spend my whole life on food, drink and fun!"

    "I also think Xiao Qi got carried away this time. He got the money from selling Dreamstars shares. Xiao Qi is like a nouveau riche, buying things everywhere without knowing how to further strengthen his technical strength and develop electronic technology! I really  I¡¯m disappointed in him!¡±

    "You people, don't you think it's funny to speculate, question and criticize the world's richest man with a careless mind? If Xiao Qi was the kind of person who spends money carelessly, would he be where he is today?"

    "Yes, just like Xiao Qi said, let's see again in five years! I think Taobao.com is very good! You foreigners don't know, but we Chinese people like it very much, and it will definitely grow and develop!"

    ""

    Not to mention how many people were talking about it, apart from Xiao Qi admitting that he acquired the privatized Yahoo and saying something on Weibo, there was no other news.

    But there are two people who can¡¯t sit still.

    &nbsp;A middle-aged man in Lin'an dropped his favorite tea cup.

    Another middle-aged man in Japan shook his head and smiled bitterly.

    ¡°Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi, why do you always do things so unexpectedly and make people awe-inspiring?  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
