Chapter 847 (2/2)

The issue totaled 714 million shares, including the additional 100 million shares expected to be issued by the green shoe mechanism triggered by the first day of listing. The total amount of funds raised will reach $28.6 billion. Excluding 183 million shares cashed out by a group of shareholders, which is equivalent to $6.4 billion, the remaining $22.2 billion will be put into the account of igrit company for enterprise development.

Although igritte's current annual revenue has exceeded US $10 billion, and suddenly more than US $20 billion in cash, it is still inevitable that a group of senior managers tend to be extravagant.

October 7.

On the second day of listing, Simon called all igritte executives in New York to hold an interim meeting to discuss how igritte might change its operation attitude because of this successful IPO.

Simon pointed out the theme at the beginning of the meeting.

's $22 billion 200 million fund will be all the long cash reserves of igret to defend against the risks posed by changes in the industrial situation in the future. It is said that this money will serve as a special fund for I Gerrit to continue to expand business after the dotcom bubble burst.

Any bull market has an end.

Simon believes that the US technology stock market can still last for a long time, but there is no doubt that the new technology bubble is bound to be punctured in the future, leading to a prolonged downturn in the market. At that time, if we can have a large amount of funds, in addition to maintaining the stable operation of our own enterprises, igrit can also take the opportunity to make bottom-up and further realize its expansion in the field of Internet industry.

If we want to achieve this, we should not only spend the 22.2 billion US dollars this time, but also reserve as much as possible.

Therefore, in the next few years, while the market situation is still good, igrit will continue to issue a number of long-term corporate bonds to raise funds, so as to reserve more funds. As for enterprise development, the revenue volume of igrit at the present stage is enough to be self-sufficient, and it must also be self-sufficient.

All in all, after IPO, the expansion of igrit will not strengthen, but will slow down gradually.

At the same time, we started to cut down.

At least prepare for downsizing.

Then, we will dig deep into the three core businesses of search engine, social network and e-commerce, and make these three most potential businesses of Internet industry deeply rooted in Simon's memory. At that time, even if all other businesses abandon or decline, igrit will inevitably become a super giant with a market value of 10 billion.Midtown Manhattan.

In a conference room at the headquarters of westero company in Rockefeller Center, after discussing the tight days after the IPO, Simon finally said to Tim Berners Lee: ”one more thing, you and many other company executives have a lot of wealth after the IPO, but I don't want to see you slack off from now on.

If you think you can start to enjoy life now, no problem, please quit first, and then you can enjoy what you have. You deserve it. However, if you are not willing to continue to work hard, and do not want to give up your present position, I am sorry, once found, I can only ask you to leave.

This is what I'm telling you. Tim, Jeff, Carly and Ellie, I don't need to hear your promises. I'll just see what you do. Remember to pass on my words to everyone else in the company after returning to Los Angeles. Remember, I'm very, very serious. I don't mean to be joking.

Finally, are there any other questions? ”

All of a sudden, the big four, who were knocked face to face by Simon, were slightly awe inspiring and shook their heads.

”In that case, let's break up. We won't be entertained at noon. Well, ally, you stay.”

Tim Berners Lee got up and left the office, leaving only Alice Ferguson, who happened to be sitting next to Simon during the meeting.

Simon waited for a moment. When he saw that the door of the conference room was closed, he turned to the side. Alice said, ”in today's meeting, the person I want to talk about most is you, Ellie. Do you know why?”

The housekeeper also turned slightly and nodded gently.

Among the big four, Tim Berners Lee is a technical talent, not involved in the management of too many enterprises. Jeff Bezos is a very strict and conservative manager. He is sure to be able to better implement Simon's requirements for igritte to live a tight life. Carol Bartz is in charge of igritte's software and service business. At present, he may have contributed a lot of revenue to igritte, but he is not the core of igritte that Simon likes.

Only housekeeper, in the past few years, has expanded Amazon's online mall in a radical style.

From radical to introverted, it is not easy in many cases.

Simon looked at the housekeeper's delicate, cool and perfect face, thought about it for a moment, and asked, ”Ellie, can you draw?”

The housekeeper shook her head. ”No way.”

Simon didn't mind either, and continued: ”in fact, learning to draw is the same as running Amazon now. No matter what kind of painting style you start from, as long as you accumulate enough knowledge on one hand and then learn other painting skills, it's easy to get by the analogy. By the way, computer programming language is the same, which you must be familiar with. ”

Alice nodded. ”I understand, boss. I'll take your plan seriously.”

Simon was surprised: ”really?”

”Well.”

Simon thought that he had to persuade the housekeeper well. Seeing that the housekeeper was so simple, he had some doubts and joked: ”why did he change his persistence so easily?”

Alice's beautiful blue eyes blinked twice: ”because your suggestion is right. What's more, Amazon's early steps of spending money to cultivate the market have been completed. Even if it still needs to do so, it can now give it to other hot money pouring into the field of e-commerce, who will be the main force of subsidies in the next few years. From next year, what I will do is to continuously optimize the warehousing and logistics system, maximize efficiency and reduce costs, so that Amazon online mall can form a sustainable business model. However, boss, Amazon will continue to lose money for a long time in the future, because I will continue to expand Amazon's sales network to an appropriate extent. Therefore, this kind of loss is inevitable, and it is not a technical loss of igrit for expansion and tax avoidance as a whole. ”

Simon listened carefully, and suddenly felt that cold beauty seemed to be fooling herself seriously.

The girl may be able to moderate, no longer like this year's crazy burning $1 billion.

But it doesn't seem to change much in my heart.

I can't change my nature.

The leather chair on his toes came closer to Alice. Simon reached for the housekeeper's delicate chin and appreciated it again. He said, ”who did you learn from? How is it a little bit, eh, black belly?”

The word ”abdominal black” was not translated into English for a long time, so it was directly used in Chinese.

Then there was the housekeeper's slightly confused expression.

Simon didn't explain. He went over and gave the girl a kiss on her lips. It was cool and felt good. So he came closer and planned to persuade a stubborn girl who didn't want to repent in a more primitive way.
