Chapter 711 A billionaire is born!
After a while, Garcia's face slowly returned to calm. He sat on the sofa and looked at everyone: "Okay. Let's talk about the acquisition."
Fang Minghua and Li Li did not participate in the negotiation. He stayed for a while and then left the office.
After going downstairs, Li Li looked back at this somewhat old building and suddenly sighed: "I suddenly sympathized with Mr. Garcia. I saw the look in his eyes just now, from hope to disappointment. ,"
"If, as I said, if your novel is handed over to Mr. Garcia for publication, will it save Ashleypress?" Li Li looked at Fang Minghua again.
"Lili, you are very kind." Fang Minghua's tone was very calm:
"Even if I give him this book of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", or even give him the entire series, it will indeed be able to Saving his company can only save a moment, but it cannot save a lifetime. The Internet era has arrived, and small publishing companies like this are destined to not have a wonderful future."
"Then why do you want to acquire it? "Li Li suddenly discovered a problem.
"Save Mr. Garcia from fire and water." Fang Minghua smiled.
Li Li curled her lips.
She didn't quite believe what Fang Minghua said.
My cousin once told him that Fang Minghua is a good person, but he is definitely not a bad person. He is shrewd in business and will never make a loss-making business.
However, since Fang Minghua didn't want to say anything, she didn't ask further.
Just translate the novel for him.
"Let's go home first. I'm going to see my personal financial advisor, Phillips, in the afternoon." Fang Minghua said with a smile.
"I have classes in the afternoon and can't accompany you." Li Li said.
"You are busy with your business."
"Then I will leave the car for you."
"No, I can take a taxi, but you have to leave your car Brother, leave it to me."
"Okay."
After eating at home at noon, Fang Minghua looked at the time and went out alone.
His date with Francis was at Merrill Lynch.
Merrill Lynch Securities is located on Pinewood Avenue in the northeast of San Francisco. Fang Minghua rushed over, checked the time, entered a coffee shop diagonally across the street from the securities company, sat down at an empty table by the window, and ordered Drink a cup of American coffee slowly.
Half an hour later, the mobile phone rang, and Fang Minghua answered: "Mr. Fang, this is Phillips. I have now arrived at the entrance of the lobby of Merrill Lynch. Where are you?"
Fang Minghua looked through the window and saw a young man wearing a gray trench coat standing at the door with a suitcase on his phone.
"I'm in the coffee shop opposite you, come in."
"OK!"
Soon, Phillips appeared in the coffee shop.
"Hey, Phillips, here." Fang Minghua waved to him.
Although I haven’t seen him for several years, his appearance has not changed much.
Phillips immediately came over with a smile on his face.
He was in a very happy mood at this time.
Yesterday, the old Mrs. Jones finally listened to her own advice and spent all the US$300,000 in her account, which was also her pension, to buy Dell stocks.
The two parties signed an entrustment contract, and Phillips operated her account and waited for opportunities to sell stocks to maximize the client's interests.
For this reason, Phillips can also receive a commission income of 0.1% of the transaction amount after the sell-off.
Now seeing this mysterious Chinese, Phillips felt a little excited and a little grateful.
When I first met this Chinese, he was just an inconspicuous graduate of Elgin Community College. He could not be compared with prestigious college students such as Harvard and Yale. No investors paid attention to him. Even in the end, There are problems with basic survival.
But this Chinese man hired him as his financial consultant, and his annual income of US$5,000 allowed him to get through the most difficult moments.
Moreover, I didn’t do anything. Now, the Chinese found him again, and of course he had to do a good job this time.
They shook hands and Phillips sat across from him.
“What do you want to drink?” Fang Minghua asked.
"Thank you, coffee, no need to add sugar."
"OK!"
Fang Minghua waved, and a waiter immediately came over, said a few words and left.
"It's been a hard journey." Fang Minghua said with a smile.
"It is my honor to serve Mr."
Fang Minghua smiled slightly and said nothing.
"Mr. Fang, although I don't know the changes in your stock holdings in the past few years, if it is still Apple, Microsoft, and Dell."
"It's still those three." Fang Minghua said Cut off his words.
"Then I strongly recommend you sell Apple stock!" Phillips said: "Of these three stocks, it has the worst growth potential."
What Phillips said is indeed correct.
Two days ago, he opened Li Li's computer and logged into the Nasdaq website, only to find that from 1988 to the end of 1995, Apple's stock price only rose from US$58 to US$68. A closer look at Apple's Leadership, it turns out that Steve Jobs hasn’t returned yet!
Holy shit!
Big loss!
However, Apple pays dividends quite generously, paying dividends every quarter.
"Let's do this, you throw away all the Apple stocks I hold." Fang Minghua made a decision.
Let’s buy it back after the millennium.
"OK! Don't worry, I'm very good at short-term operations. I will sell the stocks at the most appropriate time so that you can get the maximum profit!" Smith said, taking out a briefcase from the briefcase he was carrying. documents.
"This is a power of attorney, in duplicate, please sign." Phillips said and took out a pen and handed it to the other party.
Fang Minghua took it and read it carefully. The rights and obligations of both parties were clearly written on it, including the sale period.
Fang Minghua thought for a while and filled in a month. If he sells all his Apple stocks within a month, he will complete the contract agreement.
Of course, there is also the commission you need to pay for this operation: it is charged at 0.1% of the transaction amount.
Finally, both parties sign their names at the back, and the contract is completed.
"Mr. Fang, can I go to the exchange to log in to your account now?" Phillips put his contract into his briefcase and said to Fang Minghua.
"Of course. According to the agreement, this is your right." Fang Minghua picked up the coffee cup and took a slow sip.
After the two finished drinking coffee, they went to the Merrill Lynch Securities Company opposite.
I found a computer and logged in according to the account and password mentioned by Fang Minghua. When Phillips saw the income from the stocks he held, he was stunned.
108952412 US dollars!
One hundred million dollars!
Another billionaire is born!
Phillips suppressed the horror in his heart and looked carefully.
The number of positions held in each stock has increased much more than seven years ago. Looking at the operation records, they are all bought one after another without any selling.
Looking closely at the returns of each stock, Dell is the best, followed by Microsoft, and Apple is the worst.
Dale recommended it to him himself!
Thinking of this, Phillips felt an indescribable pride in his heart.
