Rebirth: I Want to Surf

Chapter 683

Hong Kong, night.

Lao Zhou lives in his own private house, standing in front of the window, looking up into the distance, the gorgeous night view of Victoria Harbor does not have any color in his heart, but only a wave of fear.

To what extent are you afraid?

He even made a disguise when boarding the plane, for fear of being recognized, and he felt a little relieved when he landed in Hong Kong.

"grass!"

It took him a whole glass of whiskey to get over it, and he cursed hard.

In the so-called 3Q war, there is no righteous side or evil side. It is essentially a gangster fighting each other, but Lao Zhou has portrayed himself as a lone brave man.

In business wars, there are back and forth, and there are wins and losses.

I couldn't play 360 on QQ, so I obediently admitted it, but I didn't expect the other party to report the crime—just like two children dating a fight and one suing the teacher.

Yes, he thought he was about to win.

At this time the phone rang again, it was still Qi Xiangdong.

"How are you, Zhou?"

"I landed safely, how about you?"

"I took a few people and hid in Huairou. I'm working here for the time being. I'm preparing to replace the mobile phones and numbers of the key employees so as not to be bugged."

"No, you let them connect to the United States with a VPN, and then use the data to make calls through Skype, which is safer."

"Ok, I know!"

"What's going on with the penguin?"

"not yet."

"That's it first, then contact."

Is this a business war?

This is a spy war!

Lao Zhou shook his head, poured another glass of wine, and continued to stand in front of the window, all kinds of thoughts flashing through his mind. He has gone all the way, hated Baidu, hated Ali, hated all paid antivirus software, and even sent relatives and friends to sacrifice to heaven.

There is a man named Liu Ren who has served as a senior executive of newspapers such as "China Computer News" and "Computer News", and is a media authority in the Internet circle.

At that time, playing 3721 offended a lot of people, so Liu Ren helped to fight with each other, and the two were as close as brothers. Lao Zhou loves audio very much and gave him a set of very expensive equipment.

Later, 3721 sold himself to Yahoo, Liu Ren was very dissatisfied, and the two were not as close as before.

Lao Zhou set up 360 to do free antivirus, and offended a bunch of paid software companies. At that time, Liu Ren planned several articles to hack 360.

After Lao Zhou learned about it, he deliberately sent someone to contact Liu Ren, saying that he would spend money to delete the manuscript and pay in cash.

This is normal in the media world, Liu Ren didn't think much about it, but at the moment he finished receiving the money, the police who had ambushed rushed in... Finally, he was sentenced to three years for extortion.

Of course, this is a rumor in the market, and everyone has their own opinions, but it is true that this person was convicted of blackmailing 360.

"..."

Lao Zhou drank wine and recalled the past, he didn't feel that he was a villain at all, he just kept double standards, he was fine with others, but Penguin was fine with him.

After drinking another glass of wine, the night was already deep.

He didn't want to sleep, he wanted to browse the Internet, and when he was shopping, he fixed his eyes and stared at a few news items:

"Yao Yuan, chairman of Maiwo Network, has arrived in New York, and the bell will ring soon!"

"The road show was hot, and the IPO subscription exceeded expectations!"

""Angry Birds" and "Fruit Ninja" boost Maiwo Network, and North American investors are optimistic about it!"

"Experts predict that Maiwo Network may set a new record for listing of domestic Internet companies!"

"..."

Lao Zhou watched and sighed inexplicably, knowing that a new giant had officially risen.

……………………

The joys and sorrows of Internet companies are not the same, I just think they are noisy!

——Yao Shuren Yuan

New York, hotel.

Yinyin just took a shower.

With wet hair that still smelled like shampoo, she stood slippery in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. Under the colorful lights of the Big Apple City, she sometimes overlapped and sometimes separated from the figure behind her.

The beautiful, slender and powerful muscle lines changed various postures, as if they contained some kind of dance-like rhythm, until both of them let out a long breath and sat down on the expensive hand-woven pure wool carpet.

"call!"

Yinyin picked up the glass of water, gulped it dry, and was covered in sweat.

Under normal circumstances, he is the dominant position, but when this man is particularly excited or something important happens, he will secretly pretend to be invincible.

Sex is a way women use to comfort men.

It's not dirty, or what values ​​are involved, but a normal state of mind. For example, when a boyfriend celebrates his birthday, the woman will cooperate more than usual.

It's the same reason to rack your brains with boys to coax women.

For such a big event as going public, she would naturally come here, and Yao Yuan also needed her very much. With her around, he would be at peace.

"Do you drink water?"

"Drink, I'm dying of thirst."

Yin Yin poured another glass of water, Yao Yuan Gudu Gudu did the same, took it easy, and said with a smile: "I also made an arrangement at the company, and we will ring the bell with us, and these grandchildren prepared a big drum, which is really noisy. "

"Why is it called ringing the bell? Is it really ringing the bell?"

"IPOs in China will ring the big bell like in ancient times. If foreigners don't have one, they just press a button. It will be like a studio. There will be a host and rehearsal, so we don't have to worry about it."

"I heard it will be broadcast in Times Square?"

"Yes, there is a building in Nasdaq, and there is a big screen outside the building, playing live."

Yinyin's Grapefruit Street is also aiming to be listed, so I want to know more about it.

Yao Yuan has been busy recently, the two of them get together less and stay away more often, and they haven't been intimate for a long time, hugging her to talk about the process, as well as the previous roadshows.

The underwriters arranged ten days of intensive roadshows, and he participated in seven of them.

Some are in the form of speeches, set up a hall, and the following are all investors, and they speak on the stage. Some are in the form of interviews, where everyone sits at a table and asks questions face to face.

The underwriter has its own regular customers, and it will recommend Maiwo Network to those funds, companies, and rich people, and these high-level customers only accept the underwriter's recommendation.

Therefore, an IPO must find several strong underwriters, so as to cover the most investors.

It's easy to communicate with these people, they don't care how much market share you have in China, they only listen to what they think is valuable.

Yao Yuan's strategy worked, and he proposed three concepts:

The Chinese version of facebook, 200 million users!

The most powerful social game developer, the famous farm game is made by us!

The most powerful mobile game developer, the total downloads of birds, ninjas, crocodiles, etc. are 300 million!

"Oh!"

This is a common reaction of foreigners, they can understand and think it is very valuable.

"Well, when I went public, how did you introduce Grapefruit Street? Grapefruit Street doesn't seem to have any conceptual features!"

Yinyin became distressed, and she had no doubt that she could not be listed.

"Yuzi Street is small in size, and it only cost two to three billion US dollars when it went public. At that time, we wanted to practice our skills. Now it has a good momentum. Let's continue to do it for a long time and develop slowly in the future."

Yao Yuan kissed her and checked that it was already 12 o'clock.

"I brought a dozen people this time, Yu Jiajia, Wu Jun, Han Tao, Yao Xiaobo, Xu Meng, Gu Jiaming, even Liu Weiwei and Wensha were called back by me.

They were all the first to follow me, even if they each have their own positions, I want everyone to witness together. "

Looking at the night scene of the Big Apple City outside, he was also looking back on the past, just like Zhou Hongyi at this moment, but their moods were completely different.

"I started my business in the utility room back then. Nine years later, who would have thought of today?"

Thinking of everyone's appearance, Yao Yuan couldn't help laughing: "Everyone is virtuous, just pretend to be calm for me, let me see who can sleep tonight!"

(no more...)
