MTL - Investment Life-Chapter 149
Just half a month ago, Chen Yuanming's long-awaited investment finally yielded fruitful results. On August 9, Netscape went public on the NASDAQ.
Unlike the previous investment bank's expectations, Netscape's stock price did not stay at a flat price of $ 10 this time, but opened at a high of $ 28, once climbed to $ 71 per share, and finally closed at $ 58, with 5 million shares being sold. It was sold out, and the daily increase reached more than 100%.
This groundbreaking record made the entire Wall Street uproar. You have to know that the Internet was a pioneering time, and no one can think of a way to make money with it. Even if Chen Yuanming, the prophet, his websites such as iail and Yahoo are still in the debt stage of pure expenditure, and the profit has been in a long time. Are delusional. Therefore, let alone Wall Street, which is profitable, even the Silicon Valley Shashan Road, which is well-known for its wisdom, has not paid much attention to Internet companies.
However, Netscape, a simple browser software company, has become popular in such a way, making the Internet instantly enter the public's sight, and making Chen Yuanming set off on his journey to the United States again.
As a result of participating in Netscape's second round of financing, Yuanyang also achieved more than 8 times of profit in this listing. But Chen Yuanming's plan is far from this. On the day of Netscape's listing, Yuanyang uncharacteristically acquired a large number of Netscape stocks and converted some of its preferred shares into ordinary shares. In just a few days, it suddenly became the third largest shareholder of Netscape.
You know it's not easy to **** these from Wall Street. Thanks to these bloodthirsty creatures who are still watching the newly-born Internet with cold eyes, their tusks have not been revealed. When Yahoo comes on the scene like a supernova, clicks, traffic, and concepts become hot on Shashan Road.
It was precisely this time difference that Chen Yuanming wanted to fight. After operating this series of acquisitions, he held several rounds of negotiations with the two founders of Netscape, and finally successfully merged the hotmail that was just born into Netscape, and In the login interface of icq, the association of scape browser has been expanded.
Today, hotmail is just a baby just born, both in terms of technical strength and the number of users is so small that it can be ignored, but the meaning of the concept of free email in later generations is unknown. Netscape's scape browser is precisely the browser with the highest share in the United States today. This item alone has brought countless new users to hotmail.
icq is just the opposite. After 2 years of long-term investment, its research and development capabilities and users have reached a new level. Due to a completely free use model, its registered users have now exceeded 3 million, and active users have also Reached a million people. Just a connection brings infinite possibilities to scape.
However, these two companies are basically controlled by Chen Yuanming alone. They have little reputation in Silicon Valley and Wall Street. This reorganization can be described as impassioned and has played an efficiency that unimaginable to ordinary people. After laying a new foundation for Netscape in one fell swoop and having the possibility of hardening the Microsoft empire in the future, Chen Yuanming immediately turned his sights and set his sights on the reshuffle of the DVD industry.
More than half a year after the DVD standard was born, the Hollywood giants finally sat down and began to divide up the cakes on their plate. The weapon they used was still the old word: area code.
The anti-theft mode provided by Feiyan is just for the group of Jews who accepted and quickly waved as weapons. However, the process of this negotiation is still scary. In front of the giant film industry groups in the United States, Europe, and Japan, the film industry in any other country is small. Even if Feiyan has occupied enough markets in China, it still cannot be The existence of alternative film companies, in terms of cultural communication, China, which has just opened its doors, has almost no place in the Western world.
However, it is a little different from the previous life. This time in the area code, Feiyan has an ally: News Corporation. China, which was originally kicked to District 6, was saved by a piece of data from the Eagles Nest Alliance. Over the past year, Fox has sold more than 20 movies and 3 TV series vcd in the Chinese market, each of which has earned more than one million. Sales, and at this time China only popularized vcd for only a year and a half.
China has a population of more than 1 billion, and vcd players are increasing sales by more than 5 million units per year. If this market can ensure genuine rights and interests, it will be a huge cake that no company can ignore.
What ideology and international relations are obviously not important to these vampires. In this regard, the US government is rarely on the side of the film industry group. No one uses the color revolution trick more than them, and no one wants to change this red China with ideology more urgently.
In such a complicated situation, China's area code has taken 3 big steps, becoming the red No. 3 area, and Southeast Asia, which originally occupied the location of Area 3, is helplessly reduced to Area 4. And Japan, which did not succeed in the last area code war, also abandoned Taiwan and Hong Kong and went out of Asia and entered Europe into Zone 2. These two areas trapped in the middle of the road can neither rely on Japan nor want to enter. China finally joined the 4 Southeast Asian groups facing pirated offensive and defensive wars.
At the same time, due to Warner's aberrations, Toshiba was forced to abandon the new optical disc research and development plan, and Sony was also in the predicament of long-term attack, and moved to the research field of further expanding DVD capacity. At this point, the DVD standard was officially established in the international field. It has become one of the few international standards that China has participated in.
Although the DVD listing in China is still far away, Feiyan Group has ushered in a grand celebration party that inspires joy. From the beginning in 1993 to the final decision in 1995, how many shocking vortexes and traps have gone through in the middle, now this step has finally come to fruition, how can it not make people happy. In the next stage, the DVD industry will enter a more complicated state-to-state game, which is not something that Feiyan Group can control.
After dealing with these two major issues, Chen Yuanming originally planned to stay in the United States for a while and focus on the transfer of the optical disc production line to China, but a sudden message interrupted his arrangement. Tang Hao, the head of Yuanyang Fund in Beijing, brought it back. One piece of news, Xiao Junyi's Jun Teng company directly sought Yuan Yang for a round of financing.
Listening to Tang Haoxing's elated description and optimistic about Jun Teng's future, Chen Yuanming's taste was really beyond words. Since his hometown has not yet connected to the mobile phone network, and it is not convenient to make a call at home, he went to work after coming to the United States. After leaving Beijing for a month, this was the first time he heard the news of Xiao Junyi, but he did not. Think of it this way.
After hesitating for a long time, Chen Yuanming finally called the phone. Due to jet lag, China is still daytime, and the other party is connected to the phone in the noise.
"You're finally willing to call." There was a smile in the earpiece, and there was a hint of hoarseness. "Why, have you heard from Xiao Tang?"
With a sigh of faintness, Chen Yuanming asked, "Is there a problem with Junteng's capital chain?"
auzw.com "It's too tight ... you don't know how much money to invest in research and development, the office is open for another period, bank borrowing is almost at the bottom, and local tyrants are needed to help." Serious, but the speaker's tone is exactly the opposite.
"For eight million dollars for 20% of Junteng's shares, don't you think the asking price is too low?" Chen Yuanming did not answer directly, but asked this most critical question.
"Actually, if possible, I would like to use 20% of Junteng, exchange for a stone or 2% of Yuanyang, would you agree?"
Chen Yuanming raised an eyebrow, "That was a loss for me."
"So I've only been able to make up for it, boss Chen, do you want it?"
It might be that somewhere quiet, the noise on the phone suddenly disappeared, leaving only the slightly ridiculous voice. Even if it is half a distance away from the earth, it is not difficult to imagine how the person across the eyes bent those peach blossom eyes and burst into a smile.
Chen Yuanming couldn't help laughing. After a few seconds, he nodded lightly. "Okay, Junteng is a good company. I can accept this kind of investment."
"Isn't it arrogant?" There was an unabashed joy in the voice opposite.
Chen Yuanming's hand holding the phone couldn't help getting closer to his ears, "It depends on the geometry of the income. The risks in venture capital always exist."
"I think it's hard to find the word" failure "in your dictionary." With a chuckle, the other party suddenly changed the subject. "Do you know that this month is my 6th birthday?"
It's been 10 days in the past, and Chen Yuanming can't help but stagnate, "... now I know."
"Then when will you return home?"
The other party's voice was not ill, but it scratched the soft flesh like a feather. Just hesitating a moment, Chen Yuanming sighed.
"It will be as soon as possible."
"wait for your news……"
…………
Just for this call, Chen Yuanming left a lot of issues in the United States and rushed back to the country. It was really a bit of a slapstick to the princes and a thousand dollars to buy a smile. But when I returned to Beijing, I learned that Xiao Junyi had just traveled to a business trip outside the country. After some thought, Chen Yuanming did not stay in Beijing to wait for him after all, but returned to his hometown to inspect his own mine.
Just like any prisoner who is nearing his sentence, Chen Yuanming has taken this step for a long time. Like a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder, he chose to come to the green mountains and green waters and observe the magnificent scenes realized by the blueprints in his hands, which also effectively relieved the anxiety in his heart.
Just after visiting the mine and fully enjoying the green mountains and green waters, on the way back to the county town, a Hummer stopped him with a big grin. The car is his favorite model, as is the young man sitting in the driver's seat. I saw that the man leisurely took off the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose and revealed a big smile.
"I know something from my hometown ... Chen Dong, there is a good farm food not far away. Would you like to enjoy it?"
Chen Yuanming gazed at him for a long while, and finally shook his head with a chuckle and smiled, "How can Xiao always spend money, and it's time for me to do my best to help the landlord ..."
