Rebirth starts with small money

Chapter 493 Old Wang, this buddy~should be a good guy!

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 the role of hao123 in attracting traffic to the portal.

But it's a pity that although Xu Xing is far from being as mature as the later "investment queen", she is not stupid.

Chen Li's bet, no matter who wins or loses, the bet itself will definitely cause some damage to Ding Sanshi's Wangnan.

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

Since the plan is to buy~, there is no need for Wangnan to rush to make Chen Li more money at this time.

It's just that Wangnan didn't expect the owner of hao123 to be Chen Li.

That's right~ Whether it's Ding Sanshi who has met Chen Li for a few times, or Xu Xing who often eats and drinks with Chen Li, they never thought that Chen Li is the boss of hao123.

When Song Xiaolan told Chen Li that someone from Wangnan planned to visit him, Chen Li even had a little bad taste in his heart.

And the fact is just as Chen Lili expected. When Ding Sanshi and Xu Xing learned that Chen Li was the boss of hao123, they were shocked.

And after the surprise~ the two of them were overjoyed first, and then had a headache.

Hi~ It's because Chen Li is an acquaintance. In the perception of Chinese people, 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 specific property of Chen Li is unknown to outsiders.

But in terms of his status as a shareholder of Red Pony Technology alone, he has already entered the class of multi-millionaires.

Moreover, Xu Xing also knows the identity of the owner of Chen Lixiang's fried chicken chain. Although it only sells fried chicken, no matter what it sells~ When the number of chain stores reaches more than 100, it is also a huge fortune. .

In short~ Even though Chen Li is a boy who just turned 20 years old, he is indeed a real multi-millionaire.

Moreover, Chen Li, a multi-millionaire, is not the same as the kind of multi-millionaire.

Some so-called rich men with net worth of tens of millions~ are just that the various properties they own are worth more than tens of millions.

If these people are really asked to come up with tens of millions of cash, nine and a half out of ten people may not be able to come up with it.

Not to mention tens of millions~ Even millions or even hundreds of thousands, many people can't withdraw them from bank cards anytime, anywhere.

But Chen Li is different~his ideal chain fried chicken~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.

And the higher Chen Li's wealth~ the more difficult it is for Wangnan to acquire hao123.

So Xu Xing offered Chen Li 1000 million yuan as soon as he came up. In the eyes of her and Ding Sanshi, this offer was undoubtedly very sincere.

Otherwise, with hao123's current scale, it's not impossible to report a few million.

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

However, when Chen Li heard the offer, he directly avoided Xu Xing, the eldest sister Xu Xing who had volunteered to lead the acquisition.

Later, Xu Xing raised the price again~ He raised the price of Wangnan's purchase of hao123 to 150 million US dollars, but Chen Li still didn't take her word for it.

In fact, at this price~ there was still a little quota, but Xu Xing directly chose to give up.

She could see it~ hao123 is not something not for sale to Chen Li.

But the price that Chen Lixiang wants~or the price that allows Chen Li to choose to sell hao123, it is definitely not the starting point that Wangnan Company can offer.

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

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

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

But that is impossible, because the current Wangnan~ is not the pig factory 20 years from now.

Not to mention asking a sky-high price~ Even the price of 150 million US dollars she proposed before, in fact, part of it is intended to be replaced by Wangnan's shares.

So ~ Xu Xing directly chose to give up and continue to bid. Although this may have a slight impact on Wangnan's listing, the impact should not be great.

Yes~ The biggest reason why Xu Xing is so keen on helping Wangnan want to acquire hao123 is that Wangnan is already preparing to go public.

In fact, not only Wangnan~including Wangnan's competitors are actually preparing to go public one after another at this moment.

It sounds a bit nonsense~ In fact, the vast majority of Internet companies in China at the moment have basically not achieved profitability, and many companies can't even find a direction to make profits.

However, in the next few years, many Internet companies in China lined up to go public on NASDAQ.

For Chen Li, who didn't understand finance in his previous life, this seemed to be an incredible thing.

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

Especially how these companies are still losing money, but they can finally be listed in the United States, which makes Chen Li very puzzled.

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

It turns out that the policy in the United States is different from that in China. It does not adopt the approval system like the domestic one, but the registration system.

To put it bluntly ~ if you want to go public in China, the company itself must have considerable strength. For companies like the Internet that lose money most of the time in the early stage, it is impossible to go public in the domestic A-share market.

Of course~ there are other qualifications and review standards, but this one directly locks most Internet companies to death.

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

The so-called registration system means that when an issuer plans to issue securities, it must take the prospectus as the core, and submit all the information disclosed according to law to the securities regulatory agency in a complete and accurate manner and apply for registration.

Then, the regulatory agency will strictly review the authenticity, comprehensiveness, and accuracy of the prospectus, audit report of an independent accounting firm, and opinion management letter according to its duties.

Hmm~ This seems a bit written, but to put it simply and bluntly~ There are three most important conditions to be listed on the US stock market
financial report!

data!

future!

As long as a company can meet any of these three conditions, then this company may be listed on the US stock market.

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

Those large Internet companies in the later period of 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, in fact, all relied on "future prospects" to finally achieve success in the US stock market. Listed.

It was also when listening to a friend's explanation that Chen Li understood the gap, and also understood why some companies' products have not sold much, but they have become listed companies in the end.

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

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

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

And these companies ~ without exception are targeting the US stock market.

However, there is nothing wrong with this. After all, these companies basically have foreign investment backgrounds, and the companies themselves also belong to the VIE structure.

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

This is the main reason why the vast majority of Internet companies are listed abroad.

To put it bluntly ~ these companies do not have the conditions to go public in China according to domestic laws and standards.

Of course~Although the difficulty of listing on the US stock market is less than that 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~then the company itself must also have certain advantages.

As mentioned earlier, the three major elements of US stock market listing are financial report~data~future!

Needless to say, the financial report, 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 generally companies that want to go public will naturally do a good job in financial reporting.

As for the data and the future, it is also necessary to submit a good answer sheet.

The handed over transcripts are agreed, the more investors will be attracted, and the more people will be willing to pay.

So ~ the reason why Wangnan wants to acquire hao123 is actually trying to make a better picture for its future listing answer sheet.

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 hao123 get traffic~ get data~ get results!
Therefore, Xu Xing would rather choose to give up than agree to bet against Chen Li.

Because if Chen Li really removed Wang Nan from hao123 for a month, the damage to Wang Nan would be very obvious.

Xu Xing would not be fooled by such a thankless bet!
However, Xu Xing was indeed a well-rounded person, even if the conversation with Chen Li collapsed, the two of them would not break up due to disagreements.

In fact, on the second day, Chen Li took Liu Qingqing to the dinner organized by Xu Xing.

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

In this dinner, the protagonist is not Chen Li, nor Ma Xiaoyun, nor even the host Xu Xing, but
The founder of the 8848 e-commerce website ~ Wang Juntao, and Ma Xiaoteng who is preparing to get involved in this industry.

The reason why Xu Xing met Wang Juntao was because she also wanted to invest in the other party's 8848 before, but she was one step too late. When she heard the news, 8848 had already completed capital financing, and the capital behind Xu Xing... Did not drink.

But~ Sister Xu is not an ordinary person. Although she didn't drink the soup, Sister Xu still got acquainted with Wang Juntao.

Wuhe~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 the prospect of the e-commerce industry is naturally beyond doubt.

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

But the Instant Messenger software that Brother Xiao Ma worked on before... That's another matter.

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

Yes~ In terms of instant messaging software, even in the United States where the computer and Internet are relatively developed, its prospects have not been fully proved.

This is probably why Xiao Ma was looking for venture capital before. No one is willing to pay the bill!

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, that's because the people who ate other poisonous things all died.

Now that it's hung up ~ 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 does not intend to continue to miss it.

It just so happened that Brother Ma planned to get involved in this industry, so Xu Xing naturally became interested.

Tsk~ I have to say that an investor like Ms. Xu has absolutely nothing to say about her business sense.

This eldest sister was obviously just chatting with Brother Xiao Ma while eating barbecue. At that time, her main energy was still on Chen Li's hao123.

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

After confirming that the acquisition of hao123 was hopeless, the eldest sister directly invited Wang Juntao from 8848, and then, by the way, hit the idea on Brother Xiaoma who hadn't made a decision yet.

To be honest~ this makes Chen Li feel a little ironic.

Don't get me wrong~ the sarcasm he feels~ is not aimed at others, but at that 8848 Wang Juntao.

What does this guy say?Chen Li can only say that this buddy is really a good person.

Obviously he is working on an e-commerce website himself, and Xiao Ma is a competitor who is about to set foot in the e-commerce industry, but even so. This buddy still directly told Xiao Ma some of his experience in setting up an e-commerce website.

It's a real experience, it's definitely not a hoax. Others may have a half-knowledge, but Chen Li, who is a reborn person, knows very well that Mr. Wang really isn't lying.

He may be hiding a little bit of selfishness, but what he said is definitely not a lie.

This made Chen Li speechless at the time!

So it can only be said that this buddy should be a good person.
