rebirth from small pockets

Chapter 492: This guy Lao Wang should be a good person!

In the end, Chen Li did not reach a bet with Xu Xing.

Chen Li wanted to take a gamble with the other party and take this opportunity to let the other party take a good look at hao123's role in attracting traffic to the portal website.

But it is a pity that although Xu Xing is far less mature than the "investment queen" she later became, she is not stupid.

No matter who wins or loses in Chen Li's bet, the bet itself will definitely cause certain harm to Ding Sanshi's network.

The reason why Wangnan did not renew the subscription with hao123 before was because Wangnan planned to acquire hao123 directly.

Since it is planning to acquire, there is no need for Wangnan to waste time and let Chen Li make more money at this time.

It’s just that NetNan did not expect that the owner of hao123 turned out to be Chen Li.

Yes~ Neither Ding Sanshi, who had met Chen Li several times, nor Xu Xing, who often had meals and tea with Chen Li, never thought that Chen Li was the boss of hao123.

When Song Xiaolan told Chen Li that someone from the south of the Internet was planning to come to see him, Chen Li even had some bad taste in his heart.

The reality was just as Chen ideally imagined. When Ding Sanshi and Xu Xing learned that Chen Li was the boss of hao123, they were shocked.

After the surprise, the two of them were overjoyed at first, and then got a headache.

I'm happy because Chen Li is an acquaintance. According to Chinese people's perception, acquaintances are generally more cooperative than strangers.

As for the headache, it goes without saying that it is naturally because of Chen Li's identity, to be precise, Chen Li's identity as a shareholder of Red Pony Technology and Chen Li's identity as a young multi-millionaire.

Yes~ Although the exact amount of Chen Li’s property is naturally unknown to outsiders.

But just by looking at his status as a shareholder of Red Pony Technology, he has already joined the class of multi-millionaires.

Moreover, Xu Xing also knows the identity of the owner of the fried chicken chain Chen Lili. Although he only sells fried chicken, no matter what he sells~ when the number of chain stores reaches more than one hundred, it is also a huge wealth.

Already.

In short~ Even though Chen Li today is a young boy who has just turned twenty, he is indeed a real multi-millionaire.

Moreover, Chen Li, a multi-millionaire, is different from the kind of rich man worth tens of millions.

Some so-called millionaires only own various properties worth more than ten million.

If you really ask these people to come up with tens of millions of dollars in cash, I'm afraid nine and a half out of ten people won't be able to come up with it.

Not to mention tens of millions~ Even millions or even hundreds of thousands, many people cannot withdraw it from their bank cards anytime and anywhere.

But Chen Li is different. His ideal fried chicken chain is a huge cash cow.

There are more than 100 fried chicken restaurants under his name, and the daily cash flow alone is as high as hundreds of thousands.

These conditions all prove Chen Li's wealth.

The higher Chen Li's wealth, the more difficult it will be for Wangnan to acquire hao123.

So Xu Xing offered Chen Li 10 million as soon as he came up. In the eyes of her and Ding Sanshi, there was no doubt that this offer was very sincere.

Otherwise, given the current scale of hao123, it would be worth a few million. In fact, it is not impossible.

However, it turns out that they thought too much. If they were an ordinary entrepreneur, they might be tempted when faced with a high price of tens of millions.

But when Chen Li heard the offer, he immediately avoided Sister Xu Xingxu, who took the initiative to lead the acquisition.

Later, Xu Xing raised the offer again to 1.5 million U.S. dollars for Wangnan's acquisition of hao123, but Chen Li still didn't answer her question.

In fact, at this price, there was originally a certain amount, but Xu Xing directly chose to give up.

She finally saw it~ hao123 Although to Chen Li, it is not for sale.

But the price that Chen Li wants, or the price that allows Chen Li to choose to sell hao123, is definitely not something that Wangnan Company can afford.

Even in Xu Xing's view, it was impossible for hao123 to be worth the value in Chen Li's "imagination", but she knew very well that whether it was worth it or not, that was Chen Li's business.

As an agent of capital, Xu Xing often deals with wealthy people.

So she understood that unless she could offer a "sky-high price" that was enough to impress Chen Li, it would be impossible to convince Chen Li to sell hao123 based on what she considered a reasonable price.

But that's impossible, because today's Wangnan is not the pig factory it will be twenty years ago.

Not to mention asking a sky-high price~ Even the price of 1.5 million US dollars that she proposed before, part of it was actually planned to be replaced by Wangnan's shares.

Therefore, Xu Xing directly chose to give up and continue bidding. Although this may have some impact on Wangnan's listing, the impact should not be significant.

Yes~ The biggest reason why Xu Xing is so keen to help Wangnan acquire hao123 is that Wangnan is now preparing to go public.

In fact, it’s not just Wangnan, including Wangnan’s competitors. In fact, they are all preparing to go public at this moment.

It sounds a bit nonsense~ In fact, the vast majority of domestic Internet companies at this moment have basically not achieved profitability, and many companies even cannot find a direction to make profits.

However, in the following few years, many domestic Internet companies lined up to list on Nasdaq.

This seems to be an incredible thing for Chen Li, who did not understand finance in his previous life.

And what Chen Li couldn't understand the most was why almost all domestic Internet companies chose to list in the United States.

In particular, how could these companies be listed in the United States even though they were still losing money? This puzzled Chen Li very much.

Later, a friend of his who often speculated in stocks explained it to him for a long time, and finally Chen Li roughly understood the difference.

It turns out that the policies in the United States are different from those in China. They do not use an approval system like the one in China, but a registration system.

To put it bluntly, if you want to be listed in China, the company itself must have considerable strength. Companies like the Internet that lose money most of the time in the early stage are simply impossible to be listed on the domestic A-share market.

Of course, there are some other qualifications and review standards, but this one directly locks out the vast majority of Internet companies.

But it's different in the United States, where a registration system is implemented.

The so-called registration system requires that when issuers plan to issue securities, they must use the prospectus as the core, complete and accurately submit all the information disclosed in accordance with the law to the securities regulatory agency and apply for registration.

Then the regulatory agencies will strictly review the authenticity, comprehensiveness and accuracy of the prospectus, independent accounting firm audit report, opinion management letter and other application documents according to their responsibilities.

Hmm~ It seems a bit written to say this. To put it simply and straightforwardly~ there are three most important conditions for listing on the US stock market.

Financial report!

data!

future!

As long as a company can meet any of these three conditions, it is possible for this company to be listed on the U.S. stock market.

Even if the company itself is losing money, as long as investors are optimistic about the future of the company, the company can still be listed.

Those large Internet companies in the previous life, such as Pinxixi, Jingbei Mall and other e-commerce companies, as well as later companies such as Tesla and a number of domestic electric vehicle companies, actually relied on "future prospects" to finally achieve success in the US stock market.

Listed.

It was at that time when he listened to a friend's explanation that Chen Li understood the gap and why some companies had become listed companies despite not selling much of their products.

This seemed very fantasy to Chen Li at the time, but in the eyes of many people it was very real.

After all, Chen Li in his previous life was just an ordinary person. He didn't even trade in stocks, so naturally he didn't understand what the capital market was.

Whether it is Jiulang~, Sohu, or Wangnan, which Chen Li is most familiar with, these current star companies among domestic Internet companies have begun to quietly prepare for listing.

And these companies, without exception, are targeting the U.S. stock market.

However, this is understandable. After all, these companies basically have foreign investment backgrounds, and the companies themselves also belong to the VIE structure.

Coupled with the fact that the entry standards for the domestic stock market are there, these companies can only seek help from the external capital market if they want to raise funds.

This is the main reason why most Internet companies are listed abroad.

To put it bluntly, according to domestic laws and standards, these companies simply do not have the conditions to be listed in the country.

Of course, although it is easier to list on the US stock market than in China, it does not mean that any company can be listed on the US stock market.

If you want to win the favor of enough investors in the United States, the company itself must also have certain advantages.

Earlier I mentioned the three major elements for US stock listings, financial reports~data~future!

Needless to say, financial reports, the financial status of the company itself is the foundation for the healthy operation of a company.

Generally speaking, this condition is actually the easiest, because companies that want to go public will naturally do very well in the area of ​​financial reporting.

As for data and the future, we need to give a good answer.

The more investors you hand over and make an appointment with, the more investors you will attract, and the more people will be willing to pay.

Therefore, the reason why Wangnan wants to acquire hao123 is actually to try to paint a more beautiful picture for its future listing.

It's just that Chen Li doesn't want to.

Speaking of which, it has been less than a year since he founded the hao123 website, but hao123 has become a very important part of the domestic Internet industry.

It can even be said that those who get good123 get traffic, get data, and get results!

Therefore, Xu Xing would rather give up than agree to bet with Chen Li.

Because if Chen Li really removes Wangnan from hao123 for a month, the harm to Wangnan will naturally be very obvious.

Xu Xing would never be fooled by such a thankless bet!

However, Xu Xing is indeed a well-rounded person. Even if the conversation with Chen Li breaks down, the two of them will not break up on bad terms.

In fact, the very next day, Chen Li took Liu Qingqing to a dinner organized by Xu Xing.

It's just that this time, Chen Li's identity is just a supporting role.

This time at the dinner, the protagonist was not Chen Li, nor Ma Xiaoyun, nor even the host Xu Xing, but

Wang Juntao, the founder of 8848 e-commerce website, and Ma Xiaoteng, who is preparing to get involved in this industry.

The reason why Xu Xing met Wang Juntao was because she wanted to invest in the other party's 8848 before. However, she made the move a step too late. When she learned the news, 8848 had already completed capital financing, and the capital behind Xu Xing was...

Didn't drink it.

However, Sister Xu is not an ordinary person. Although she did not drink the soup, Sister Xu still got to know Wang Juntao.

No other~ Although e-commerce has just started in China, the industry itself has been confirmed in the Internet industry abroad.

After all, both eBay and Amazon are there, so there is no doubt about the future of the e-commerce industry.

Just like Xu Xing was very eager to invest in Red Pony Technology, because Internet security itself has proven its future prospects.

But like the instant messaging software that Xiao Ma worked on before, that's another matter.

America Online previously spent hundreds of millions of dollars to acquire ICQ. Although its data has been growing, its profitability is too weak.

Yes~ Regarding instant messaging software, even in the United States, where the computer and Internet are relatively developed, its prospects have not yet been completely proven.

This is probably why Xiao Ma wanted to find venture capital before, but no one was willing to pay for it!

Many people think that the first person to eat a crab deserves praise and praise, but what if the crab itself is poisonous?

People only saw the first person who ate the crab, because all the people who ate other poisonous things died.

Since it's dead, naturally no one cares, and naturally no one sees it.

But e-commerce is different. Xu Xing missed the opportunity to invest in 8848, but she doesn't plan to miss it anymore.

It just so happened that Xiao Ma was planning to get involved in this industry, so Xu Xing naturally had some interest.

Tsk~ I have to say that investors like Sister Xu have absolutely no business sense.

This eldest sister obviously just chatted a few words with Brother Xiao Ma while eating barbecue. At that time, her main focus was on Chen Li's hao123.

But even so, this eldest sister did not ignore Brother Ma.

After determining that the acquisition of hao123 was hopeless, the eldest sister directly invited Wang Juntao from 8848, and then along the way, she gave the idea to Brother Ma, who had not made a decision yet.

To be honest, this made Chen Li feel a little ironic.

Don't get me wrong, the irony he feels is not directed at others, but at Wang Juntao from 8848.

What should I say about this guy? Chen Li can only say that this guy is really a good person.

Obviously he was working on an e-commerce website, and Brother Xiao Ma was a competitor who was about to get involved in the e-commerce industry, but even so, this guy still directly told Brother Xiao Ma some of his experience in setting up an e-commerce website.

This is real experience, definitely not a lie. Others may have a vague understanding of it, but as a reborn person, Chen Li knows very well that Mr. Wang is really not lying.

He may be hiding a little secret, but what he says is definitely not a lie.

This made Chen Li speechless!

So I can only say that this guy Lao Wang is really a good person!
