MTL - Rebirth Turn of the Century-Chapter 702 Soon, very tired.
Chapter 702 is coming soon, very tired.
Time has passed, and it has come to December 2003 in a blink of an eye.
America, California, Silicon Valley Mountain View, between Parkway and Shore Drive, the Amphitheater, sits a company.
This is close to San Francisco, but it's even closer to a massive construction site.
The two founders of the company sat leisurely in the outdoor cafe despite the chill in the air.
Sergey Brin was looking at the construction site that was beginning to take shape. After a long time, he looked back and said to Lapage opposite:
"What a quirky guy, the whole Tesla, we can only see some floral elements from here."
Page shrugged: "Looks like a fish from a distance, and looks like a cloud up close. I can't see the element of flowers."
"That's not a fish, it's a koi." Sergey explained triumphantly, seemingly showing off his erudition.
Page looked at the smug guy and smiled: "If I remember correctly, the main producer of koi is the island country."
"But it first appeared in the records of planting flowers in the Western Jin Dynasty."
"Okay~" Page spread his hands and said helplessly, "We're not here to see the neighbors."
"But we're going to talk about it," said Pelch, a little frustrated. "In IPO negotiations, we have to keep Wall Street secret, but Tesla knows everything; we have to go our own way through the IPO process, especially Sla follows the rhythm of investment banks; we don't disclose any financial data, and Tesla can't wait to dig out every profit...
Page, maybe it's not a good idea to let Tesla go public first. "
Page shook his head and smiled and said, "Perhaps you should turn your attention away from the front page, and read more about the report on the second page. Sergey, the war in Iraq has not stopped. The war that lasted for more than half a year has brought our economy back after three years of sluggishness. The leading role is no longer the Internet companies in 2000, but the traditional top 500!"
"I know, it's the **** oil companies, the **** banks, the **** buildings, and the **** Wal-Mart," Sergey danced with excitement, "But Peppa, not only did I read the second edition, I also saw the More, each financial media did not forget to mention the eastern country at the end of the year-end summary——
Its economic growth rate has maintained an average of more than 8%, accounting for one-third of the global oil demand growth, and also consumes half of the world's cement, one-third of steel, one-quarter of copper and one-fifth of the world's oil. aluminum.
Damn Tesla was born in that country, and the cunning Zhao has come up with a timetable for counterattacking the domestic market! "
Page was silent for a moment and asked, "What else do you know?"
"I also know a piece of news that is more interesting to many investors: the "2003 Global Wealth Report" jointly developed by Merrill Lynch and Capgemini consultants gives an astonishing statistic: more than $1 million in financial assets in flower gardeners The number of HNWIs in China is 236,000. The total assets of these HNWIs have exceeded US$969 billion, which is undoubtedly staggering when compared to their country's GDP of US$1.4 trillion. The members of the rich club have an average asset of more than 4.1 million US dollars, about RMB 34 million!"
“…”
"Page, according to the timetable given by Zhao, Tesla's high price will no longer be a problem for flower growers!"
Page's face finally turned ugly: "I'll tell you what's the good news."
"Morgan Stanley said that underwriters can get a 3.1% handling fee in Tesla's IPO business, and Tesla has to make provisions on securities underwriting remuneration that we will never do!
Page, believe me, those who originally planned to invest in Google will definitely turn to Tesla after they fail to get the stock auction and membership qualifications! "
"No, Sergey!" Page said disapprovingly, "You should pay attention to the gossip about the book profits of those oil companies. As long as the oil price does not drop for one day, Tesla will have the potential to be exhausted even if it goes public one day. The money will eventually go to energy companies!”
"Pop~" At this point, Sergey threw a newspaper in front of him, "What if, I mean if, what if Tesla claims that their 'Soundfield' is starting to make a profit?"
Page looked at the newspaper from the flower garden. The thoughtful secretary had already done the translation. The numbers above did not attract attention, but the remarks of an analyst surprised him:
'At the beginning, no one would have thought that Zhao Song's casual layout would make all CRBT companies ready to enter the Internet have to pass through Shenzhou and Montnets. Now the CRBT business with a total value of 4.8 billion is facing the risk of copyright fee collection. .
It all depends on the government's protection of copyright.
But let's not forget that the flower grower has joined the WTO two years ago, and has revised and formulated relevant laws and regulations on intellectual property rights in accordance with the TRIPS agreement! '"
“…”
Page put down the newspaper without saying a word, and began to recall the relevant data of the top 1200 global companies. He likes to speak with numbers. If he wants to measure whether Tesla's listing will affect Google, then he will use Tesla. Has the market value exceeded the top 200 standard!
…………
Sergey's concern is justified, and Page is not wrong, but he ignores one point - affected by the arrogance and greed of companies like Enron and WorldCom, the United States has revised relevant financial accounting standards, resulting in many energy companies. Earnings have been evaporated, and they have also lost their eligibility for the list.
Top 200?
If Tesla causes Google to make any concessions to Wall Street, and this spills over into Google’s corporate culture…
Romantic, innocent and rambling free Google culture. This working state, in the eyes of some critics, is a typical manifestation of the Internet bubble economy, but it is through this laissez-faire approach that it successfully recruits a group of young technical elites and quickly stimulates their creativity.
If it really affects this, then Zhao Song can live up to the name of a **** stick!
In fact, for these two idealists, instead of sitting here watching various economic data, it is better to go back to the company and see the value of the entertainment data in the background!
Tesla is in a period of media silence, but the stars it creates can appear in many entertainment venues at will.
…
TV station, a talk show scene.
The host looked at the high-spirited Frank and asked:
“How has your life changed from before?”
Jeans, T-shirts, and shaggy hair, the creator of Soundfield fits perfectly with the image of a tech nerd in people's minds, and here's another addition to that image - a billionaire candidate.
"I used to beat my good friend when he sold the company and robbed my girlfriend and stayed there for a long time." Frank smiled indifferently, "Now, after beating him for half an hour, I still Sitting here talking to you like nothing happened."
“Haha~”
The audience burst into laughter. Everyone knows that the Oriental is famous for his love of lawsuits, so Tesla has the most professional team of lawyers in the United States. No one is surprised that Frank can sit here after beating people.
After laughing, the host then asked, "Can you talk about your feelings?"
Although according to the script, he can't ask all questions about Tesla's listing, but he can still do it.
Frank was silent, and after a long time, he spit out a word with difficulty:
"tired!"
He got everything he wanted at Tesla-wealth, achievements, fame and fortune, and freedom to control project funds, but the price he had to bear was that he not only had to complete his studies and R&D projects at the same time, but also under the command of the affairs team, Appearing constantly in various entertainment and fashion scenes.
You ask him how he feels, that is, he is tired, he is so tired!
…
At the same time, New York.
When you get off the plane from the most prosperous JFK airport in the world, you can see 'her' as long as you look up slightly. The building on the skyline stood there quietly.
The mansions in New York's Central Park are often high-profile, because the houses here are bought by the rich from all over the world, and those who hold most of the world's wealth seem to be concentrated here.
Especially the tallest residence in the Western Hemisphere, the world's top mansion next to Central Park - 432ParkAvenue. (Note)
88th floor, study.
Zhao Song put down his pen, pushed his work documents to the corner in disgust, stood up dizzy, and walked out of the room while rubbing his cervical spine.
tired! I'm so tired!
The thing he wants to do the most right now is to end the **** listing immediately, quickly ask the name of the pedicure shop in America, and then let his whole body relax once. Of course, it would be even more perfect if you could find a store that offers big swords.
Passing through the lounge and private tasting room, and stepping over the two 'obstacles' entangled under his feet, Zhao Song came to the huge living room. The luxurious floor-to-ceiling windows allowed him to see the panoramic view of Manhattan, which immediately made him feel good. on a lot.
But remembering the two 'obstacles' at the entrance of the living room, Zhao Song's good mood fell again.
"If the head is sick, it must be cured!"
Zhao Song muttered, picked up two walnuts from the coffee table, walked to the retro cabinet in the corner, and took out his Nokia phone...
"Boom~"
After collecting the walnut meat, he went to the bar and opened the refrigerator. The cans specially customized by Coca-Cola appeared in front of them, and the golden-yellow cans looked particularly tall.
opened it, inserted the straw, and Zhao Song came to the two 'obstacles' with the tray.
'obstacles' are lying down and tangled together.
Xiaoyu and Bai Li pinched each other's hair with one hand and pinched each other's chest with the other. Even if they kept their 69 posture, they could still grin and bear the pain while grinning and scolding, making people have to admire women's toughness!
Put walnut kernels into the mouths of the two girls to replenish their brains, and then put a straw into the mouths of the two girls to replenish the water they lost due to the fight.
Without any persuasion, he let the two women continue to tear each other up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window on his own, looked at the scenery outside the window, and murmured:
"I know everyone is tired and nervous. Please hold on for a few more days. After Tesla goes public, you will be free!"
Note: 432ParkAvenue was built in 2015.
A big chapter today.
