[027] Miraculous investment company 3.
“Oh no. i like you.”
Hamburgers don’t matter. Wouldn’t it mean that we would meet casually just enough to go well with a light lunch?
It feels like Dell computers are getting farther and farther away.
I lay down in a comfortable hotel bedroom, but I couldn’t fall asleep easily.
I was trying to figure out how to turn rejection into acceptance, and I barely fell asleep until dawn.
When I entered the Wendy’s store on Round Rock Street at 1:00 p.m., I saw a long line.
Since Texas State University is nearby, the store was full of college students.
“shit. They all look the same, so how do you find them?”
It was a store imbued with a southern atmosphere. The men all wore jeans and checked shirts, and they didn’t look much different, so it was hard to find Michael Dell.
The middle-aged Asian man looking around seemed to stand out more.
“Hey Mr. Oh?
I am Mr. I turned toward the sound of Oh.
A young man with a straw in his cola glass.
It was 24-year-old Michael Dell.
At the age of 27, he is the youngest among the world’s 500 richest people. At the age of 34, he recorded an official fortune of $21.4 billion, and the young figure of the giant, who will occupy the place of the 5th richest person in the United States, was no different from any other college student.
Of course, he is still standing in the ranks of millionaires.
“Mr. Dell?
Yes.
He held out a paper bag full of hamburgers and winked.
Where do you want me to follow you?
He took the lead out of the store and walked to a nearby park.
He sat down on a bench and smiled.
“Is this better? It’s too noisy in there.”
“okay. It’s good.”
“Is that kid…?”
“Ah Mr. Dell. Should I say you’re a fan?”
“yes? Pan? haha.”
Michael burst into laughter and held out his hand to Oh Se-hyun.
“Just call me Mike.”
“I see. I am James.”
Michael Dell shook my hand lightly and looked me in the eye and winked.
“Now tell me your business. I have to go back to work in 15 minutes.”
15 minutes is all it takes.
Oh Se-hyun’s words sped up.
“We, Miracle Investment, would like to invest in your company. The amount and terms of the investment are…”
Dell’s hand holding the hamburger went up.
“No investment required. The funds are sufficient.”
There was a slight annoyance in his eyes.
Thirty million dollars in sufficient company funding. It is a story that has already spread widely in the industry.
If you didn’t know this, it means that you don’t have the basics of an investor, so now Dell’s eyes clearly looked down on Oh Se-hyun.
If it is an investment, if you welcome it with open arms unconditionally, you are a sewage and an amateur.
Investment brings a water-drip effect to the founder’s equity.
My stake may decrease or become a debt.
It is the right attitude of a manager to receive just the amount of investment he needs.
“Of course I know. But if the investment conditions are unconventional, wouldn’t there be room for reconsideration?”
“James. My company is not IBM, with its greedy executives. I only needed funds to expand my company and I have a perfect plan. The money will be made by making a profit. I don’t do stupid things like making money by increasing stocks.”
I even wrote the words greed and stupidity.
Also, receiving investment was a perfect way to refuse because it was only proof that he was greedy and stupid.
I expected it to be difficult, but I didn’t know that I would reject it with a single knife without even asking for conditions!
Oh Se-hyun couldn’t hide his embarrassed expression.
I, who had only been listening quietly, began to get nervous.
Oh Se-hyun may think that he misses out on a good investment destination, but I am different.
It is to put the second button on the grand plan.
The first button wasn’t too difficult, knowing that a new city would be built in Bundang. All I did was fawning over a wealthy grandfather.
But now it’s different.
I have an accurate treasure map in my head, but the captain of the ship that will lead me to the treasure island refuses to let me on board.
Knowing the future is useless now. I just have to break through with my own strength. You have to convince the captain, Michael Dell.
I had already made up my mind and opened my mouth.
“Mike. Oh Can I call You Mike?
Sure Buddy.
Michael Dell smiled with a wink in his eyes, but Oh Se-hyun was different.
I had never thought that fluent English would come out of my mouth, so my eyes looked like they would pop out.
“Your past is who you are today, and your future is who you are now.”
“what? Are your dreams too big? My childhood was a little different from normal.”
“Of course it is a little different. No, it is very different.”
“How different?”
“Your 12-year-old had only 2,000 dollars from selling stamps, but now, as a 12-year-old, I have 15 million dollars from selling land.”
Now Michael Dell’s eyes were about to pop out.
The two people’s expressions are the same, but the reason is different.
Oh Se-hyun because of my English, Michael Dell because of my money.
“I don’t know where you spent the two thousand dollars. But I have already decided where to spend my fifteen million dollars. I will use it to become the majority shareholder of Dell Computer.”
I finished talking, but there is no response.
For a while, only the sound of the park lingered around.
“Do Joon-ah. You…”
“Uncle. later. We have to talk about something more important now.”
Michael Dell looked at the two of us alternately and opened his mouth to Oh Se-hyun.
“James. Your son?
No. My… boss maybe…….
As if it was difficult to understand Oh Se-hyeon’s answer, he stared at me intently and finally burst into laughter.
“OK. Fifteen million dollar boy.
Mentioned my money without asking my name.
“Let’s just ask two questions.”
“yes.”
“Where did you hear about the story of how I made money selling stamps?”
Alas, it’s disastrous. Has this person’s childhood story not come out yet? Can not help it. I have no choice but to go over the durumungsul.
“It is an investment of fifteen million dollars. Shall we move without your investigation? Our company is not that lax.”
“Did you even hire a detective? great? Okay then the rest of the questions.”
He smiles in full bloom, but this smile is not benevolent. Just curious.
“How can I become the majority shareholder when I say I will not receive investment? I still have more than half of the voting rights for the composition of our company’s board of directors. My will is absolute.”
“Wouldn’t it be listed next year?”
The smile disappeared from Michael Dell’s face.
I haven’t told anyone yet I just thought. I was planning to tell the company’s management and investors early next year, and I planned to be prepared. A young Asian kid who read his thoughts accurately!
“why? You think so?”
“The fruit is ripe, so we have to pick it. When it’s the most coveted.”
“So, if our company goes public…”
“We will indiscriminately sweep the stocks on the market. Fifteen million dollars would make you a major shareholder in an instant, wouldn’t it? Oh, I must say one more thing. We could have about $10 million more ready within this year. I still have my land of great value left.”
twenty-five million dollars.
It is only a matter of time before my words become reality. Michael Dell’s face hardened at the realization of this fact. Seeing this, Oh Se-hyeon hurriedly opened his mouth.
“As a major shareholder, I will be a member of the board of directors and will be deeply involved in management. It is a natural request.”
He intervened at just the right time.
I couldn’t have been surprised forever. He is also a person who knows very well that when he gains momentum, he must attack together.
Surprise and curiosity are already shaken off faces. Again, it was the expression of an outstanding businessman.
“What can I do? Whether you buy or invest through the stock market… With that much money, you will become a major shareholder anyway. If you have enough qualifications as a major shareholder, you should definitely join the management team.”
Michael Dell, who had regained his composure before he knew it, took a bite of the hamburger without saying anything.
“This was over 15 minutes because of a very rich friend. I can’t even eat properly.”
Dell got up from a park bench and brushed his butt.
“Rich friend, when we meet again, will we be the majority shareholder? We’ll see if it’s next year or not.”
Oh Se-hyun’s expression darkened. It is to think that negotiations have crossed the water.
But my card is still there. I think it’s a card that the captain will allow me to board, but I don’t know the outcome yet. Hidden is something you need to know.
“I could give you all my voting rights as a shareholder in Mike, but would you just go?”
The hand that had been brushing his butt stopped.
The reason for the refusal to invest was clear. It has sufficient funds and has firm control over management. It is a management right not to be missed.
Aren’t the shareholders who are already targeting their young selves slowly revealing their claws?
It is inevitable that a large number of stock acquirers will appear after listing. If the company goes public after considering the defense of management rights, that problem will also be solved.
The most fearful thing is the solidarity of the major shareholders except for himself. If the opposing forces join forces to make 51%, the founder loses management rights.
But a kid who’s willing to pour in twenty-five million dollars hand over his voting rights? This is an opportunity to build an iron wall in management rights.
Del, who looked at me for a moment, said to Oh Se-hyeon. show a smile
“James. What’s your boss’s name?”
“Ah…….”
I replied instead of Oh Se-hyun, who was taken aback by the sudden question.
“Howard My name is Howard Jean.
“Okay Howard. You just had my coffee break. Shall we go to the cafe? It’s a place where sweet cakes kill.”
“When it comes to cafes, the taste of the coffee is more important. How about coffee?”
“Definitely kill me. By the way. You are not like me.”
“yes?”
“I liked cake much more than coffee when I was your age. haha.”
Michael Dell led the way with a laugh.
“Do-joon.”
“yes.”
Oh Se-hyun, who was following Del, called me in a low voice.
“You startled me so much… you have to explain all of this?”
“Now?”
“Not now because he hasn’t accepted our offer yet. later.”
“It’s hard to explain anyway. Just think of it as having a genius business sense.”
“A genius……”
Oh Se-hyeon, who had muttered quietly, looked down at me again and said.
“When did you think of the name Howard? You said you were taking English tutoring, so did you make it then?”
“no. A long time ago.”
I was a little surprised at how the name Howard came out.
This is because in the previous life, it was a name like a dream or fantasy.
American businessman, aviator, engineer, and film producer.
Howard Robard Hughes Jr.
The most American rich man.
A person who has done or tried everything he wanted to do in his entire life.
A golden spoon with a rich father and a mother of British aristocratic blood.
He is the person I dreamed of the most.
Iron Man Tony Stark and his father, Howard Stark, are also based on Howard Hughes.
For progressive and liberal Americans, this seemed like the most ideal life for a billionaire.
In my previous life, I thought of this person as a dream, but now I am no different from this person.
I will be the Howard Hughes of the 21st century. Under the name of ‘Howard Zinn’.
