Silicon Valley

Chapter 92 Crowdfunding Fund

Sun Zhengyi thought about it and asked, "How much does Prestige Capital plan to invest in SoftBank?"

"$250 million!!!" Henry said, "and this $250 million is mainly used to enter the Japanese telecommunications industry and cannot be used for other purposes!"

Telecommunications is a lucrative industry, and Sun Zhengyi is also very optimistic. Masayoshi Son also agrees with the use of US$250 million in the development of the telecommunications industry. Now the question is, how much equity will Weifeng Capital hold in SoftBank?

The scale of SoftBank Group Corporation is not small!

In 1981, SoftBank was established.

In 1988, the SoftBank Group Corporation expanded its business, started multi-national trade, and established the US SoftBank branch in the United States.

In 1989, SoftBank Group Corporation published the Japanese version of PCHomeMagazine computer magazine in Japan. The following year, SoftBank Technologies was established.

But SoftBank is not making much money right now!

Softbank really rose when it entered the Internet, but now the Internet has been dominated by Henry. Softbank is not strong enough, and it has no chance to intervene. It is already doomed that Softbank cannot achieve the brilliant achievements of its previous life! The purpose of Henry's investment in SoftBank is very simple, which is to let him acquire Japan Telecom and enter the Japanese telecom business field.

In the previous life, Softbank only went public in 1994. At that time, it raised 140 million US dollars, and its market value almost reached more than 700 million!

Now, SoftBank's market value is just over $400 million!

Henry invested 300 million US dollars in it, and naturally he had to get the controlling stake!

So, when Masayoshi Son asked how many SoftBank shares Prestige Capital wanted to take.

Henry said directly: "70%!!!"

"I don't agree with this distribution plan!" Sun Zhengyi immediately shook his head. He established Softbank. As the founder, he would rather the company develop slowly than sell the company's controlling rights to others. Furthermore, SoftBank is developing well, there is no financial difficulty, and it has not fallen to the point where it has to raise funds!

The Japanese, like the Chinese, like to firmly control the controlling rights of the company. Only absolute control can make them feel at ease! However, some large companies in Europe and the United States have relatively scattered shareholdings, and less than 10% of the shares may control the company.

Sun Zhengyi was naturally unwilling to give up the controlling stake in the company, saying: "SoftBank will only give up 30% of its shares at most..."

Henry frowned, thinking to himself, even if he owns SoftBank, it is useless. Softbank is mainly engaged in investment, but in investment, who can beat himself? Since SoftBank does not have any technology patents, it is not interesting to hold it, and it is enough to have enough right to speak. Besides, if you own SoftBank, is SoftBank considered an American company or a Japanese company? At that time, whether the Japanese government could allow SoftBank to get involved in telecommunications was another unknown?

This SoftBank is not SoftBank. Henry has decided to give up his controlling stake in SoftBank, so he said to Sun Zhengyi: "In this case, Weifeng Capital can only invest 100 million US dollars in SoftBank!"

Sun Zhengyi thought for a while, and finally nodded.

However, both parties tacitly did not discuss the issue of distribution of shares, but only reached an investment intention.

At this time, Tokugawa Yifeng smiled and said, "Hehe, come and come, I've been sitting for a long time, and I've been talking for a long time, but I haven't ordered yet!" Immediately called the waiter and ordered a table of hearty dishes.

Eating for an hour.

Tokugawa Yifeng always inquired about Prestige Capital, intentionally or unintentionally. Before Sun Zhengyi mentioned that the return on investment of Prestige Capital was as high as a thousand times, he couldn't help but be moved!

Henry knew what Tokugawa Ichitoyo was thinking!

Nothing more than he wanted to hand over the money to Weifeng Capital Management to help him invest.

In fact, Prestige Capital already has a department that absorbs foreign funds. Henry calls it "Juzhong Fund". Henry has now absorbed nearly 600 million US dollars! Prestige Capital's own funds and Juzhong Fund are managed separately. For companies with extremely high investment value, Prestige Capital can invest by itself. For companies that are not bad and have promising prospects, use crowdfunding.

Under the guidance of Henry Goldfinger, although the return on investment of the crowdfunding fund is not as exaggerated as hundreds or thousands of times, the return rate is more than 70%. You must know that, except in special circumstances, generally speaking, the average rate of return of investment and wealth management companies is between 20% and 30%. The Juzhong Fund under Prestige Capital can have a 70% rate of return, which is already super powerful in the industry!

Of course, since the crowdfunding fund has such a high rate of return, Henry also set a high commission, charging 30% of their income! With this commission fee alone, Prestige Capital can make a lot of money every year!

If the investment is lost, Juzhong Fund is not responsible, but the commission has to be charged, but the fee is less. And customers can check the flow of their funds at any time and withdraw funds at any time!

"Gathering Fund" is the bait of Jiang Taigong's fishing volunteers!

However, the rate of return of more than 70% is touching, and many people still hand over their funds to Juzhong Fund for management!

At the dinner table, Henry revealed a little about the Crowdfunding Fund!

And when Tokugawa Ichitoyo heard it, his eyes lit up!

"Mr. Williams, I have a sum of money that I want to invest in Juzhong Fund, do you think it will work?" Tokugawa Ichiyo stared at Henry and said.

As for someone who wanted to give him money, Henry was open to anyone who came, and said casually, "Of course, as long as it's not black money..."

The latter sentence was meant to be a joke, but Henry saw that after Tokugawa Ichitoyo heard it, his face froze, but he laughed awkwardly.

What the hell, it's really black money, I just said it casually... Henry smiled at Tokugawa Ichitoyo, pretending that nothing happened, but he was thinking in his heart, Is Tokugawa Ichitoyo really a member of the Tokugawa family? And he appeared in the Yamaguchi-gumi's Industrial Cherry Blossom Club. Could it be that he has a connection with the black society?

But for a while, the atmosphere was slightly awkward, and no one spoke at the dinner table.

Tokugawa Yifeng did not continue to talk about the crowdfunding, and after the meal, everyone left the restaurant together!

After leaving the restaurant, Henry deliberately looked around, only to find that there seemed to be a number of bodyguards that Henry did not know... Although they concealed it well, Henry was trained at the Blackwater Base. Find out their identities! Is Tokugawa Trading Co., Ltd. a pretense, the real underworld that Tokugawa Kazutoyo runs?

As soon as he separated from Tokugawa Ichitoyo, Henry saw that on the road not far from Tokugawa Ichitoyo, two vans suddenly drove over, and then a dozen men in black with machetes rushed towards him!

Four bodyguards beside Tokugawa Kazuto who were pretending to be passers-by rushed up at that time.

The two sides immediately fought each other!

The surrounding crowd screamed and fled, Tokugawa Ichitoyo stepped back under the cover of bodyguards

Fortunately, Sun Zhengyi didn't go with Tokugawa Yifeng, otherwise he would be scared to pee!

As for Henry, he is very calm and appreciates a real version of the street blood fight! And his eight bodyguards formed a very tight protection circle to protect Henry!

Tokugawa Ichitoyo's manpower is too small, and he is gradually lost. Seeing that there were so many bodyguards on Henry's side, Tokugawa Yifeng was startled. He didn't have time to think about it. He ran here at once, shouting, "Mr. Williams, save me!"

Henry smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Tokugawa, I'll send someone to save you right away."

Henry asked the bodyguard beside him, "How many people do you need to deal with those people on the opposite side?"

"Boss, I can do it alone!" a bodyguard said.

Henry looked at him and saw that he had a flat head, thick eyebrows, big eyes, a scar on his left face, and a tall and strong stature. Henry vaguely remembered that his name was Garnell, and he was from the US Delta Force!

"Can you do it alone?" Henry hesitated.

"Yes!" Garnell affirmed.

If you can, let's go! ! !

Henry snapped his fingers and ordered Garnell to go!

Tokugawa Yifeng saw that Henry had only sent one bodyguard, and was a little disappointed. However, after a while, he began to be shocked.

I saw that Garnell was agile, like a cheetah rushing over, and when he passed by, a gust of wind blew, and his clothes rattled. When he looked back, Garnell pulled out an extremely sharp saber from his body, and with a flash of light, the man facing him fell to the ground. After that, Garnell was like a tiger entering the flock, killing those people to cry!

Garnell shot decisively, ruthlessly, without a trace of tricks! Anyone who was injured by him basically had no power to fight back. Just after Garnell turned over four people, the other six were timid and surrounded Garnell from a distance, and no one dared to step forward! At this moment, Garnell was about to move when he saw a man in black jumped in front of him, took a few steps back, and hurriedly shouted: "Made, it's too fierce, let's go! !!"

For a time, a dozen or so men in black scattered as birds and beasts, and finally boarded the van and fled.

Tokugawa Kazuto opened his mouth wide, not knowing what to say. He came to Henry and said in surprise, "Your bodyguard is amazing, where did you invite him?"

"Blackwater Company!" Henry said lightly. (Ask for a ticket and a collection!!! The author has built a book group: 424930141, everyone is welcome to join...)
