[027]A miraculous investment company 3.
“Oh, no. i like you.”
The burger isn’t important. Doesn’t this mean that we will meet you casually, just enough to go well with a light lunch?
It feels like Dell computers are getting further and further away.
I lay down in a comfortable hotel bedroom, but I couldn’t fall asleep easily.
As I was thinking about how to turn rejection into acceptance, I finally fell asleep at dawn.
At 1 p.m., when I entered the Wendy’s store on Round Rock Street, I saw a long line.
Since Texas State University is nearby, the store was filled with college students.
“shit. “They all look similar, so how do you find them?”
It was a store with a unique southern atmosphere. All of the men were wearing jeans and checked pants and didn’t look all that different, so it was impossible to find Michael Dell.
I think the middle-aged Asian man who was looking around everywhere was more noticeable.
“Hey, Mr. Oh?”
I am Mr. I turned towards the sound of Oh.
A young man holding a straw in a cola glass in his mouth.
It was Michael Dell, 24 years old.
At the age of 27, he became one of the youngest in the world’s 500 richest people, and at 34, he recorded an official fortune of $21.4 billion, making him the fifth richest person in the United States. His youthful appearance was no different from any other college student.
Of course, he is still in the ranks of millionaires.
“Mr. Dell?”
“Yes.”
He held out a paper bag containing a hamburger and winked.
Where are you asking me to follow you?
He took the lead and walked out of the store to a nearby park.
He sat down on the bench and smiled.
“It’s better here, right? “It’s too noisy there.”
“okay. It’s good.”
“That kid… ?”
“Oh, Mr. Dell. “Can I say he’s your fan?”
“yes? Pan? haha.”
Michael burst out laughing and extended his hand to Oh Se-hyun.
“Just call me Mike.”
“Of course. “I’m James.”
Michael Dell shook my hand lightly, looked me in the eyes, and frowned.
“Now, tell me your business. “I have to go back to work in 15 minutes.”
It only takes 15 minutes.
Oh Se-hyeon spoke faster.
“We at Miracle Investment would like to invest in your company. The investment amount and conditions are… … .”
Del’s hand holding the hamburger went up.
“There is no need for investment. “We have enough funds.”
There was a slight look of irritation in his eyes.
Sufficient company funds, $30 million. This is a story that has already spread widely in the industry.
If you didn’t know this, it means you don’t have the basics of being an investor, so there was a clear look in Dell’s eyes that looked down on Oh Se-hyun.
If you welcome investment with open arms, you are a poor person and an amateur.
Investment has a trickle-down effect on the founder’s equity.
My stake may decrease or become debt.
The correct attitude of a manager is to receive exactly the necessary amount of investment.
“Of course I know. But if the investment conditions are unconventional, isn’t there room for reconsideration?”
“James. My company is not like IBM, which is full of greedy executives. I just needed funds to expand my company and I have a perfect plan. Money… You will make a profit. “I don’t do stupid things like raise money by increasing stocks.”
He even used the words greed and stupid.
Also, accepting investment would only prove that one was greedy and stupid, so it was the perfect way to reject it.
I expected it would be difficult, but I never thought they would just flat-out refuse without even hearing or putting forward any conditions!
Oh Se-hyun couldn’t hide his embarrassed expression.
I, who was just listening quietly, started to get nervous.
Oh Se-hyun may think it’s just missing out on a good investment, but I think it’s different.
It’s about putting the second button on a grand plan.
The first button wasn’t that difficult since I knew that a new town was being built in Bundang. All I tried was to fawn over my rich grandfather.
But it’s different now.
I have the exact treasure map in my head, but the captain of the ship that will lead me to the treasure island refuses to let me board.
Now, knowing the future is of no use. I have to break through only with my own strength. You must convince a captain named Michael Dell.
I had already made up my mind and opened my mouth.
“Mike. Oh, Can I call You Mike?”
“Sure, Buddy.”
Michael Dell narrowed his eyes and smiled, but Oh Se-hyun was different.
His eyes looked like they were going to pop out because he never thought that fluent English would come out of my mouth.
“Your past is who you are now, and my future is who you are now.”
“what? Is your dream too big? “My childhood was a little different from normal?”
“Of course it’s a little different. No, it’s very different.”
“How is it different?”
“When you were 12 years old, you only had $2,000 from selling stamps, but now, at 12, I have $15 million from selling land.”

Now Michael Dell’s eyes were about to pop out.
The expressions of the two people were the same, but the reasons were different.
Oh Se-hyun for my English, Michael Dell for my money.
“I don’t know what you spent the two thousand dollars on. But I’ve already decided where I’m going to spend my fifteen million dollars. “I will use it to become the majority shareholder of Dell Computer.”
I finished speaking, but there was no response.
For a while, only the sounds of the park lingered around me.
“Do, Dojun. you… .”
“uncle. Later. “We have to talk about more important things now.”
Michael Dell looked at the two of us in turn and then opened his mouth to Oh Se-hyun.
“James. “Your son?”
“No. My… boss, maybe….”
Oh Se-hyun looked at me intently as if he was having trouble understanding his answer, and finally burst out laughing.
“OK. Fifteen million dollar boy.”
He mentioned my money without even asking my name.
“Let’s just ask two questions.”
“yes.”
“Where did you hear about me making money selling stamps?”
Oops, it’s a disaster. Has this person’s childhood story come out yet? Can not help it. I have no choice but to skip through it all.
“It’s a whopping $15 million investment. Should we move without investigating you? “Our company is not that shabby.”
“Did you even hire a detective? Isn’t it great? Okay then, the rest of the questions.”
There is a smile on the face, but this smile is not friendly. It’s just curiosity.
“How can I become a major shareholder if I say I won’t receive investment? I still hold more than half of the voting rights in the composition of our company’s board of directors. “My will is absolute.”
“Wouldn’t it be listed sometime next year?”
The smile disappeared from Michael Dell’s face.
I haven’t told anyone yet. I just thought about it. I planned to speak to the company’s management and investors early next year, and I planned to prepare. The person who read his thoughts accurately was none other than a young Asian kid!
“why? “You think so?”
“The fruit is ripe, so we should pick it. “When I crave it the most.”
“So, if our company goes public… … .”
“We will indiscriminately sweep up stocks that appear on the market. $15 million would make you a majority shareholder in no time, wouldn’t you say? Oh, I guess I should tell you one more thing. We can prepare about $10 million more within this year. “I still have a lot of valuable land left.”
Twenty-five million dollars.
It is only a matter of time before my words become reality. Michael Dell’s face hardened when he realized this. Oh Se-hyeon, who saw this, quickly opened his mouth.
“As a majority shareholder, I will be a member of the board of directors and be deeply involved in management. “This is a natural request.”
I intervened at just the right time.
I couldn’t have just been surprised forever. He is also a man who knows well that when the momentum is gained, he must attack together.
The face has already shaken off the surprise and curiosity. It was again the expression of an outstanding businessman.
“Well, it can’t be helped. Whether buying or investing through the stock market… With that much money, you would become the majority shareholder anyway. “If you are qualified to be a major shareholder, you should naturally join the management team.”
Michael Dell, who had finally regained his composure, spoke casually and took a bite of the hamburger.
“This is over 15 minutes because of my super rich friend. “I can’t even eat properly.”
Del got up from the park bench and patted his butt.
“Rich friend, when we meet again, you will be the majority shareholder, right? “We’ll see if it happens next year or not.”
Oh Se-hyeon’s expression darkened. Negotiations are thought to have passed the water.
But my card still remains. I think it’s a card that will allow the captain to come on board, but I don’t know the outcome yet. Because you only know what’s hidden when you look at it.
“Mike, I could give you all the voting rights as a shareholder, but would you just go?”
The hand that was patting my butt stopped.
The reason for refusing investment was clear. They have sufficient funds and are firmly in control of management. It is a management right that should never be overlooked.
Aren’t shareholders who are already targeting the still-young self showing their claws?
It is inevitable that a large number of stock acquirers will appear after listing. If the company is listed with sufficient consideration for protecting management rights, that problem will also be resolved.
What he fears most is the solidarity of major shareholders other than himself. If the opposing forces join forces to create 51%, only the founder will lose management rights.
But a kid who wants to spend 25 million dollars is giving up voting rights? This is an opportunity to build an iron wall over management authority.
Del looked at me for a moment and then turned to Oh Se-hyun. He even smiles.
“James. “What’s your boss’ name?”
“ah… … .”
Instead of Oh Se-hyeon, who was taken aback by the sudden question, I answered.
“Howard, my name is Howard Jean.”
“Okay, Howard. You just had my coffee break. Shall we go to the cafe? “This is a place where sweet cakes are to die for.”
“In a cafe, the taste of the coffee is more important. “How about coffee?”
“Of course I’ll kill you. But that’s it. “You don’t look like me.”
“yes?”
“I liked cake a lot more than coffee when I was your age. haha.”
Michael Dell took the lead, bursting into laughter.
“Dojun.”
“yes.”
Oh Se-hyeon, who was following Del, called to me quietly.
“You really surprised me… “I guess I have to explain all this, right?”
“Now?”
“Not now because he hasn’t accepted our offer yet. “Later.”
“It’s hard to explain anyway. Just think of yourself as someone born with a genius business sense.”
“He’s a genius… … .”
Oh Se-hyeon, who was muttering quietly, looked down at me again and said.
“By the way, when did you come up with the name Howard? “You said you were doing English tutoring, did you make it then?”
“no. “Long time ago.”
I was a little surprised at how the name Howard popped up.
This is because in my past 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 they wanted to do in their entire life.
A man with a rich father and a mother of British aristocratic descent.
He is the person I dreamed of the most.
Iron Man Tony Stark and his father Howard Stark are also based on Howard Hughes.
This seemed like the ideal life of a billionaire to Americans who were progressive and believed in liberalism.
In my past 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 ‘Howard Zinn’.
