Hello 1983

This guy.

Liu Qingshan and Jiang Renyi could only look at each other and shake their heads, but Liu Qingshan was still in a good mood: another deal was done.

Looking at the time, it was almost time to make an appointment with the third person.

This time Jiang Renyi contacted a total of three international students, all of whom were the most outstanding in their respective fields. Of course, Liu Qingshan wanted to gather these three musketeers.

The last one majored in chemistry, and his main focus was on new batteries, which Liu Qingshan valued the most.

Because he knows the future development trend, the battery is too important for mobile phones.

"Why aren't you here yet?" Jiang Renyi looked at his watch, and the agreed time had passed.

He also only contacted the third person by phone, and had never met him in person. It seemed a little unreliable, and he couldn't even keep the time at least.

At this time, the waiter from just now came over, changed the hot coffee for the two of them, and said with a smile:

"It's been a long time waiting for you guys. It's just time for me to leave work. Let me introduce myself. My name is Li Yifan. I'm the one you've invited. power."

Liu Qingshan was stunned for a moment, then stood up: "Welcome fellow, haha, from this point of view, it seems that the stipend can be saved."

Chapter 7 and Seven

Lu Zhi, Lu Changqing, and the last Li Yifan, the three of them don't know now, but they will be called "Three Musketeers of the Blue Bird" in the future and become a model of success.

Now, they just joined Liu Qingshan's team out of their different needs, or because of the pressure of life, or because they were impressed by Liu Qingshan's personality charm.

I have to admit that sometimes life choices are very important.

These three people undoubtedly made the most important and correct choice in their lives.

Liu Qingshan led Jiang Renyi and Li Yifan out of the cafe, leaving the rest to Jiang Renyi to arrange.

Including purchasing the corresponding equipment, and arranging for personnel to return to China, etc., it is estimated that Jiang Renyi will be busy for a while.

As for the reception and resettlement in China, He Wanqing was naturally in charge.

After Liu Qingshan lived in San Francisco for one night, he returned to Los Angeles, while Xiao Li stayed here.

This kid heard that Earth.com will hold a roadshow before going public. As one of the shareholders, Xiao Li, who has always been pushy, will naturally not miss this opportunity.

Their road show team will travel to six or seven major cities within half a month.

This is not bad. Some listed companies have to travel to London and Hong Kong Island, which is even more troublesome.

Xiao Li's driver and bodyguards sent Liu Qingshan back to Los Angeles, so Liu Qingshan will be fine for the time being, and wait for the day when the earth network rings the bell and goes public.

It can't be said that nothing is wrong. These days, the money in Liu Qingshan's hands is flowing out like running water.

For Xiao Zihou's bursary, 500 million US dollars was first allocated.

Then there is Jiang Renyi's purchase of equipment and equipment, which consumed more than 1000 million US dollars at once.

But Liu Qingshan didn't feel distressed, and encouraged Jiang Renyi: Don't save money, buy what you should buy!

He knows best that after this year, with the end of the honeymoon period between the two countries, it is simply impossible to imagine such an unrestricted open purchase.

The "Batumi" set up by those countries is not a decoration, a neck can kill people.

After the purchased equipment and equipment were shipped back to China, several specialized laboratories were set up in Beijing University.

There is nothing else in Beijing University, and it can still be done by freeing up some space.

To match the laboratory, factories are needed, and Liu Qingshan does not intend to cooperate with the current state-owned factories.

The big deal is to build an auxiliary supporting factory by ourselves. Anyway, in China, they still have a lot of idle funds in Longteng.

For others, taking money out of their pockets every day may be a painful thing.

But for Liu Qingshan, he still enjoys this feeling:

Anyway, the money was earned from foreigners, and it would be nice to be able to exchange it for something useful.

Unknowingly, the road show of the Earth Network team ended successfully, and the listing has entered the final sprint stage.

The listing time will be finalized on September [-]st.

The final prospectus has been sent to investors, and after mutual agreement between the company and the investment bank, the final stock price is $[-] per share.

According to the requirements for listing on NASDAQ at that time, the stock price must not be less than five dollars per share. The stock price of Earth Net can only be regarded as barely passing.

On the one hand, it is because the company’s profit is only a few hundred thousand dollars; on the other hand, it is because the industry is generally not optimistic about the model of Earth Network, and they all agree that it is too simple and has no technological content.

Look at the high-tech companies listed on Nasdaq, such as Microsoft, Apple, Intel, etc., which one is not tall.

With a small portal website and a free email address that does not make money, the Earth Network is considered lucky to be able to go public through a backdoor, so the issue price of US$5.5 is considered normal.

The issue price of Microsoft is only 21 US dollars.

The total number of shares set by the Earth Network this time is 500 million shares, of which 300 million shares are tradable, which is considered to have barely reached the minimum threshold of tradable shares set: more than 1500 million US dollars.

The restricted shares held by the company's shareholders account for about 60.00% in aggregate.

The distribution is roughly like this: the company's main creative team together account for 20.00% of the shares, including Xiao Li, Jiang Renyi, Adrian, Hunter and others.

The employees of the company, according to their contribution and ability, each hold a few tenths to a few tenths of a share, which accounts for a total of 5.00%.

The remaining 30.00% V is owned by the company's largest shareholder.

And the largest shareholder, most people thought it was Liu Qingshan.

The time finally arrived on September [-]st, Times Square Building [-] next to Times Square.

The Earth Network team, Jiang Renyi, Adrian, and Xiao Li and other representatives, successfully rang the bell for listing.

Liu Qingshan didn't go up to show off. He is now a well-known public figure in the United States, and he is a big attraction.

This year is fine, but next year, I'm afraid he will be targeted. He doesn't want to affect the development of the Earth Network because of himself.

And Liu Qingshan's low profile was understood by Xiao Li as the humility of an oriental person, and he thanked Liu Qingshan for giving him this opportunity.

The current Xiao Li is sincerely grateful to his friend Liu Qingshan for allowing him to gain both fame and fortune.

This is the side of the United States, there is no selection of the top ten outstanding young people, otherwise, Xiao Li will definitely be on the list.

Even within the family, Xiao Li now has a certain right to speak.

Originally, Xiao Li was a marginal figure in the family, and he was not allowed to intervene in the affairs of the family.

Every family has successors who are focused on training, and there are also second-generation ancestors who eat and wait to die.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Li, the salty fish in the eyes of the elders, turned over by himself with a snap.

In the family, they even wanted to add burdens to Xiao Li and share the family's affairs, but Xiao Li unceremoniously refused: Why did you go early!

Now that Xiao Li's wings are hardened, he wants to prove himself that he can still make a career without relying on his family.

And his biggest reliance now is Liu Qingshan.

After the bell is rung on the trading floor, it means that the stock is ready for trading.

Generally, new stocks may be hyped at the beginning of listing, and the stock price will rise with a high probability.

According to statistics, about 50.00% of the technology stocks listed on Nasdaq will fall back to the stock price at the initial stage of issuance after one year of listing.

About 70.00% of the stocks will fall back to the issue price after two years.

About 80.00% of the stocks will be delisted due to bankruptcy and liquidation of the company after three years of listing.

So it is really not an easy task to survive in the stock market. I don't know what the fate of the Earth Network will be?

On the first day of issuance, the stock of Earth Net was calm. After rising to US$5.8, it began to fall again. The final closing price on the first day was a little over US$[-].

This price is quite disappointing, and basically meets the expectations of those experts: they are all relatively pessimistic about Earth Network.

On the second day, Adrian, the executive vice president of Earth Network, held a huge investment promotion meeting.

Then a new profit model was born: using mailboxes to send advertisements to users.

After Adrian's investment promotion, more than a dozen businesses mainly engaged in computer equipment signed an agreement with Earth Network.

Although the advertising fees they paid were only tens of thousands of dollars, there were a large number of merchants who couldn't stand it. Therefore, the turnover of the China Merchants Fair this time also exceeded one million dollars.

Don't underestimate the 100 million US dollars. When most Internet companies are still at a loss, the wealth created by Earth Net is definitely a huge surprise.

The next day, several influential newspapers reported the news.

This also gives those confused Internet pioneers a way to make money: it turns out that they can still play like this!

It's no wonder that Earth Network launched a free mailbox. At first, everyone thought it was a loss to make money, just to attract people's attention.

Now it seems that, including those experts, they are all wrong. People's Earth Network is not bright in the east and bright in the west.

As a result of this wave of publicity, the number of registered users of Earth Net has soared, directly breaking through 15, and heading towards [-].

The chain reaction brought about by the surge in users is that the Earth Web is paralyzed.

After the emergency expansion, it was running as usual the next day.

In fact, the 100 million that China Merchants brought in was not even enough to buy servers, and the company was still burning money.

But those ordinary stockholders don't think so. In their perception, Internet companies that can make money are good companies.

So in the afternoon of the next day, the stock price of Earth.com went up all the way, broke through ten dollars, and the final closing price stopped at a little over $12, directly doubling.

This situation also makes the company's shareholders rejoice and boost their morale.

This is not over yet. After the market opened on Monday, the stock price of Earth Network reached a new high, reaching [-] US dollars, and the market value of Earth Network also exceeded [-] million yuan.

The small shareholders of Earth Network are eager to move and want to sell their stocks privately.

Although they are all restricted shares, it is still possible to transfer them by private agreement, but the price will be squeezed a little bit.

"Now is just the beginning." Jiang Renyi saw the changes in the employees, and corrected the unhealthy trend in time:

"Our goal within a year is for the stock price to break through $[-]!"

Although the employees didn't refute it, they didn't really believe it in their hearts: Do you really think anyone can become the next Microsoft?

That's right, Microsoft has become the new benchmark, Bill, and everyone in the computer and Internet industry has become the new idol.

In the past few days, Liu Qingshan has also paid attention to the stock price of Earth Network, because it is also related to his income.

When the stock price broke through $[-], Liu Qingshan took out his cellular phone and called Adrian.

After connecting, Adrian's excited voice came over immediately: "Boss, the stock has soared, we succeeded!"

Liu Qingshan didn't show excitement at all: "Adrian, please keep calm, I think the stock price of our Earth Network seems to be rising too fast."

Adrian on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned: "Boss, isn't it good for stocks to soar?"

"I wonder if someone is maliciously buying our Earth Network shares." Liu Qingshan decided to pour cold water on Adrian to help him cool down.

"Oh, hostile takeover, can't it?" Adrian immediately calmed down, and then broke out in a cold sweat: Could it be that he was targeted by the wolves of Wall Street?

Thinking about it, it is really possible. The new profit model created by Earth Network is really a big piece of fat.

Now that there are few users, there is still not much effect to be seen. What if it really develops to millions or even tens of millions of users as the boss said?

At that time, it is hard to imagine what a huge effect an advertisement can create.

And the group of people on Wall Street are the best at playing this trick. Not to mention a small company of the size of the Earth Network, even if it is a large and famous company, they will be swallowed by them in the end.

After completely calming down, Adrian immediately said: "Boss, I will inquire about the relationship with the SEC, and then I will reply to you."

SEC is the abbreviation of Securities Regulatory Commission here.

After Liu Qingshan ended the call, he still felt uneasy and started calling again.

At the same time, at the Wang An Computer headquarters in Boston, Mr. Wang Lie, who succeeded his father as the new president, was listening to his subordinates' reports in his exclusive office.

"What, it's just such a small acquisition, Mr. Henry, I spent money to hire your team, and you all eat shit!"

Mr. Wang Lie is very angry now. It was he who united with some people and secretly bought the shares of Earth Network.

However, in his opinion, the progress is too slow, and only 10,000+ shares have been collected, which is a little more than one percent, so what is there to do?

When the Earth Network announced a new profit model, Wang Lie was tempted: if he got the Earth Network in his hands, then his computer company would have a gorgeous promotional business card.

And it can also sell computers to users. This effect is definitely one plus one is greater than two.

As for whether it was because he was unhappy with Liu Qingshan, Wang Lie would not admit it anyway.

Wouldn't it be nice to bring benefits to the company's development and avenge private revenge?

Henry, the leader of the trader team hired by Wang Lie, is a middle-aged white man. Although he is respectful on the surface, he has long scolded Wang Lie in his heart.
