Chapter 861
"Hey!"
Li Linfei interrupted her with a heated smile and said smugly, "I've already taken care of this one you're talking about, so you don't have to work on it."
"Already taken care of?" The iceberg girl's surprised voice swung up.
"Well, I also didn't expect this guy Hades to have 93% of Ferrari's shares in his hands, he and I basically discussed it, $27 billion to buy all the shares in his hands, you here can send someone to negotiate the handover with him tomorrow." Li Linfei said.
However, worried to because Hades then the second and third conditions Li Linfei did not agree to, is considered to take advantage of the fire, afraid of him, Li Linfei added: "Remember, 27 billion dollars is the maximum price, can not loose."
"Ferrari's shares actually have that much in his hands, so this is a good thing, 27 billion? OK, I got it." Li Bingling laughed, she initially thought that Li Linfei had gotten nothing on this trip Ran was not what she had guessed, this man's skills, still not bad.
With US$27 billion to take shares that could be worth at least US$300, Li Linfei had definitely made a profit in this regard.
Just as Li Linfei was talking to Li, the information Hades wanted on Future Technology was already available, not from the butler of course, but from a friend of his.
In Hades' luxurious manor, he was pacing in his study. Suddenly, Hades' mobile phone rang. He took it out and froze before sliding open the answer button in a hurry.
"Hey man, what are you doing calling me when you have time?"
The man on the other end harrumphed, "It's your fortieth birthday, I haven't forgotten, but I'm sorry I've had too much company business in the last few years to leave the States, so I had to call to wish you well."
"Eh, as long as your thoughts are there, that's all that matters, thank you very much for the call."
The two exchanged pleasantries for a few minutes before Hades' eyes flashed and enquired, "By the way Manil, there's something I'd like to ask you."
Oh, what is it?" Yes, the person who called Hades was none other than Anil, Mann.
More than ten years ago when Mann came to France on business and ran into some trouble, it was Candace who stepped in to help him out, and since then, the two had always had a good relationship. There was no deep interest in the relationship, just some mundane encounters, and in the business world, it was a bond that kept the two friends together for a long time.
It's like a gentleman's friendship, clear and shallow, not involving disputes over interests, such ordinary friends, will never become enemies.
"What do you know about Future Technology and Li Linfei?" Hades asked.
Mann was an American, so he must know a lot about Future Technology, right? Not to mention, he was asking the right person when he asked Mann.
"Future Technology and Li Linfei? All I can say to you is that Future Tech is great, and this guy Li Linfei is even better." Speaking of Li Linfei, Ma En was both excited and a little emotional.
Since Best Buy was acquired, he had become the new president of Best Buy, and with the large amount of money invested by Future Technology, Best Buy was now getting bigger and bigger, squeezing into the top ten in the North American e-commerce industry, and I believed it would not be long before it became the number one e-commerce company in North America.
"How so?" Hades asked.
Mann said, "Future Technology's sales in North America, has reached a peak point, a while ago there was a rumour of a sales data leak, you know, right?"
Hades nodded, "I know this, but I haven't paid attention to the market dynamics over in North America for a long time, I heard from the people below that Future Technology's products are selling very well, and Li Linfei is also very rich."
"Haha, you're right, Li Linfei is indeed very rich, a month ago, Future Technology's sales figures leaked, do you know how much money it was?"
"I think it was over forty billion?"
"That's right, at that time Super Dimensional Technology's sales in North America for a month, reached forty seven billion dollars, if we maintain it, this year's top 500 companies in the world, ranked number one is Future Technology."
"Well, I have an impression of this matter, but are you sure it's really Future Technology Group's monthly sales?"
At first, because of this, Future Technology was world famous. Candace he had seen the news at the time, but at the time he was facing the first wave of repression from the Reulic family and he hadn't paid much attention to it.
"You didn't think it was fake? Hey, there's no statement from FutureTech, it's the equivalent of them tacitly acknowledging that this data is real."
Mann whispered, "And, to tell you something horrible, my connections in the tax department tell me that since the holographic floating phone came to market, Future Tech's tax revenue for the past few months has added up to over five billion dollars every month, and at the most feared time, it was close to seven billion!"
"You can carefully imagine how frighteningly profitable this is behind the scenes!"
Although Future Technology is a multinational company, now that China and the US are fighting ......, there are higher tax rates in the US, and as far as he knows, Future Technology's income tax rate is supposed to be 40% or even higher.
This news, is Ma En a few days ago from a friend of the tax bureau mouth to learn, at that time after knowing, he himself was shocked a big cry Future Technology is too too unbelievable, such a high tax rate, and such a high income, really .......
"My God!" On Hades' side, his body couldn't help but shake and freeze for two seconds before exclaiming.
"Jesus! Maan, man you're not kidding, how is that possible?"
Hades, horrified, exclaimed, "At least five billion dollars in taxes, are you sure it's not a quarterly tax, but a monthly tax? No way, no way, according to your calculations, Future Tech's net profit, every month, is over twenty billion dollars? You're bullshitting, absolutely impossible!"
Chapter 862
Hades was incredulous and immediately vetoed Mann's words.
He knew that the turnover of all the industries under him, in a year, was just over thirty billion dollars.
Profits, if anything, had never broken ten billion dollars, but mostly a few billion dollars, which was remarkable in the world.
And now that Mann had told him that Future Technology was already just shy of beating him by a year or two a month, Hades' first reaction, was that it couldn't be.
To say that Future Tech's monthly revenue was over $40 billion would have left Hades in awe at best, but to have a monthly profit of at least $20 billion was something that didn't sit well with him.
Revenue and profit, actually in a 2:1 ratio, which is absolutely legendary in the technology industry nowadays, as most companies have a revenue to profit ratio of more than 5:1, such as Wal-Mart, which are in retail, and even to the point of 30:1.
"Hey man, I'm not lying, these are internal figures, otherwise you think those guys on Wall Street are secretly eyeing Future Tech? It's because this company makes money." Mann said.
"My God, it's unbelievable, with a monthly flow of at least twenty billion dollars a month, and sometimes even breaking thirty billion, I feel like ...... talking to you is like talking about a big joke."
Hades was silent, after the shock he had just experienced, he had begun to calm down and think about the problem.
He recalled at this moment Li Linfei's confidence and calmness at that time, it was as if it was an innate nature, frightening and surprisingly calm.
Moreover, when it came to the shares in Ferrari, the deal that amounted to US$27 billion, Li Linfei's blandness and carelessness did not seem to be faked at all.
Although the two sides had not yet drawn up a contract, Hades was confident that the guy would definitely keep his promise to honour the deal with him.
Mann said, "But man, why are you asking Li Linfei all this, I remember he seems to be in France now, do you have interests with him?"
"Sort of, a little." Hades said ambiguously, not revealing the actual situation to Mann.
The latter didn't ask too many questions, but merely reminded, "There really is an interest involved, wow, I envy you so much, as an old friend, I have to warn you, if you can get involved with Future Tech, then you must seize the opportunity and never let go, just like Fried and I did, and contribute all your shares."
"That's a bit crazy of you, isn't it?" Hades said with a smile, but was actually testing Mann's mind.
"Crazy? Indeed, I guess, if you can remain calm after knowing that Future Tech makes at least twenty billion dollars a month in North America, it only means that you are too dreamless."
Twenty billion dollars a month!
Once again, Mann's words struck Hades' heart like a heavy hammer, causing him to breathe a little harder.
After a few moments of silence, Hades said, "Alright mate, that's all for today, thank you for your blessings and advice, I have some things to attend to here, so I'll hang up now."
"Okay!" Five minutes after ending the call with Mann, there was a knock on the door of Hades' study.
"Knock knock, sir, the information you asked for is here." The butler pushed the door in.
Hades' gaze froze as he stood up and took a few steps to the butler, reaching out and snatching a few freshly printed documents from his hand.
Seeing this, the butler hurriedly said, "Sir, these are all the information I had the company's people gather on the fly, and they contain information about Future Technology's development path, as well as their sales figures and some Wall Street analysts' comments."
"You've read them beforehand?" Hades sat in his office chair with the file, not looking up.
"Having read it, it's not good to comment, but I think you can take the proposal Li Linfei said earlier seriously."
Hades' pupils shrank slightly, the butler was one of his most trusted people in the world, and his insights and suggestions were often valued by Hades.
Shortly afterwards, Hades' eyes converged and he began to look at the first page of the document.
Ten minutes later.
"Future Technology Group, with its home base in Xiangzhong City, Jiangnan Province, China, has been established just over a year ago."
"Six months ago, in the United States began the sales of Super Star electronic watches, in September this year, began the sales of super generation mobile phones, mobile phone sales that month, Future Technology's revenue in North America, reached nearly fifty billion dollars, the same period reached Apple's revenue twice."
"And Li Linfei also leapt to become the third Forbes rich list after the exposure of sales figures ......"
As he read this, Hades frowned.
The butler interjected from the side, "Sir, according to Wall Street analysts' prediction two months ago, Li Linfei, by now, should be the richest man in the world."
"The richest man in the world?" Hades' gaze flickered as he looked at the last page of the document.
On this page was the commentary of a Wall Street analyst, and this is what the analyst had to say about Future Technology.
"Many in the world are now marvelling at the rise of Future Technologies, some think the company is just a sparkling firework with limited heat, while others think the company will open up a new technological era, surpassing the old guard and leading the way."
"But as a statistician and analyst, I also briefly use big data to objectively comment on what I think about the future of technology."
"Mr. Fried, President of Future Tech North America, was once the president of the world famous General Motors, he is a world class tycoon and when many thought he would take GM to glory, he surprised everyone by choosing an unknown technology company, that is Super Dimensional Technology most of the year ago."
"A fifty-up share for a five per cent stake in Future Technology North America seemed extremely foolish to everyone at the time, but the facts tell us that Fried's 'foolishness' at the time has become something that countless capitalists are now rushing to get their hands on. "
