The Age of Rebirth

Chapter 422 Clearance Sale

"Sit down and drink tea!" Li Weidong ignored the three people's confused eyes and didn't explain, just let them sit down.

Jiang Zhili and Fu Xiaomin were a little uneasy. When they were still in the United States, they had guessed in their hearts that there would be something important for Li Weidong to let them both come back.

Of course, quitting Yahoo should also be counted. After all, this project will involve tens of billions of dollars in transactions, and it is also the company with the largest shareholding scale in the United States so far!
Now that Li Weidong has made the decision to withdraw, the remaining thing is to execute, but with Li Weidong's character as a shopkeeper, he will not ask about specific matters.

Even if they asked, the premise was that they would report, and with Li Weidong's tone at the time, it seemed that it would not be because of this matter.

Hearing Li Weidong's order, Jiang Zhili respectfully moved to the edge of the sofa, straightened his back, held his breath, and tightly contracted his still protruding belly.

Jiang Zhili swears in his heart that he must lose weight when he returns home. Even if he can't develop a few abdominal muscles, he must at least lose the fat on his stomach, otherwise it will be too tiring to sit like this.

But Jiang Zhili also sighed in his heart, how could he be so respectful at ordinary times, even if he was listening to lectures in school, he probably wasn't so respectful.

After all, attending classes is just to do well in the exam. As long as you study well and do well in the exam, the teacher will naturally like it, but now you are facing the boss, and the situation is completely different.

His fate is determined by Li Weidong. Not only must he work hard and have outstanding performance, but he must also have a good attitude towards leadership.

After all, it doesn't take much for a leader to replace a subordinate, as long as he doesn't like it, unless he is the only one who belongs to the job.

But in this day and age, whose job is irreplaceable, if it is true, it means that it is not the employee who will be fired, but the boss who will be replaced.

Naturally, Jiang Zhili would not be so arrogant that he would not be able to play without him. All he got now was Li Weidong choosing him, not him choosing Li Weidong.

There is no chance of double selection at all, and he even always believes that there has always been an illusion that he may be replaced at any time, and there are too many people in his place.

Although Fu Xiaomin next to him is his helper, she is actually his strongest competitor. Once he appears to dissatisfy Li Weidong, she will be the first substitute.

After Jiang Zhili sat upright, he looked up at Li Weidong, with a smile in his nervous eyes, which seemed to be a real smile from the heart, after all, psychologically speaking, eyes can't be fake.

Fu Xiaomin was also sitting respectfully, but her posture was much more elegant than Jiang Zhili's. Her upper body was upright and her legs were stretched to the right, showing her exquisite figure appropriately.

Usually strong, shrewd and capable, the queen who is the only one in the American venture capital world, seems a bit weak at this time.

Since Fu Xiaomin went to the branch company, except for a few work reports a year, she rarely returned to China. Even if she returned to Hong Kong Island to report work, it was difficult to have the opportunity to come to the mainland.

After careful calculation, it has been two years since Fu Xiaomin saw Li Weidong last time, and even if they met, it was only a few words of pleasantries, and rarely involved in work matters, after all, they were not in the same rank.

According to the work flow, Fu Xiaomin's reporting target is Jiang Zhili. If there are important matters, he can report to Zou Yi. If there is no urgent matter, he cannot report to Li Weidong.

But Li Weidong has an exception!
Li Weidong has a regular job. Every month, he reads the investment briefings of Anma Capital and Jingwei to understand the progress and major events of the company and the invested projects.

No one would be surprised by this. This behavior only shows that Li Weidong attaches great importance to the company. Of course, it also means a warning. After all, these two companies have so much money.

However, there is another unknown job for Li Weidong to do this, which is to take a look at which companies these two investment companies plan or investigate to invest in recently.

Sometimes you will come across a name you are familiar with in your previous life, no matter what the company does, as long as Li Weidong has heard of it in his previous life, it must be good.

Especially for some companies far away in the United States, being able to cross the ocean and enter Li Weidong's memory already shows that this company will definitely have a place in the future.

Of course, it may also be due to some vicious event, but the probability is not too high.

Therefore, as long as it is a company named by Li Weidong, both Zou Yi and Zheng Sijing will pay special attention to prepare for Li Weidong's inquiries from time to time.

As for the company far away in the United States, Zou Yi was beyond his reach, so he had to let Jiang Zhili and Fu Xiaomin pay attention, and they could contact Li Weidong directly if they had something to do, so as to avoid deviations in information transmission.

Although Fu Xiaomin sat on the seat respectfully, her eyes were not as tense as Jiang Zhili's, but she looked at the layout of Li Weidong's office out of the corner of her eyes.

It has changed a lot from the last time I came, at least the area has become a lot smaller. It turns out that there is no such a huge screen in the middle and a huge Chinese painting on it.

Fu Xiaomin didn't know this painting, and it didn't have a signature, but it looked very majestic, and it was hanging in Li Weidong's office, so it definitely couldn't be ordinary.

Of course, as Fu Xiaomin thought, there are many people, everyone who comes to Li Weidong's office will praise it, but only a few people, Li Weidong and Zhang Dongshuo, know how much this painting is worth.

Zhang Dongshuo wanted to laugh every time he heard how good the painting was and how profound the artistic conception was, but the guests who could come to Li Weidong's office were more distinguished, so he had no choice but to hold back.

But we can’t tell the truth. It can’t be said that Li Weidong thought the screen was too ugly, so he spent hundreds of dollars to buy a plagiarized picture of "So Many Beautiful Mountains and Rivers" in the cultural market.

The other layouts in the office are also a bit simpler, and some redundant things are gone, which is much simpler than Li Weidong's office on Hong Kong Island.

Fu Xiaomin looked around, shaking her head in her heart, this doesn't look like an office used by a wealthy billionaire, it's not as big as her office.

No wonder the company should see skyscrapers. The boss's office environment is so difficult, which shows the conditions of the employees.

After looking around, Fu Xiaomin fixed her eyes on the wall behind Li Weidong's desk, where the big characters "With a Clear Conscience" were still hanging, which seemed to describe the company's confidence.

Although the person who wrote this word passed away a few years ago, the words are getting thicker and thicker. If it was in ancient times, it would be almost a gold medal for avoiding death.

Finally, Fu Xiaomin focused her attention on Li Weidong who was holding a teacup.

If you don't know, I really think this is an ordinary person, with ordinary looks, ordinary height, and in short, average appearance.

As for talent, it depends on the standard of measurement. If it is measured by money, Li Weidong probably has a peerless talent.

Li Weidong drank the tea in the tea bowl and looked up at the three people sitting there. Jiang Zhili was reserved, and his eyes kept turning in front of Li Weidong so that he could catch Li Weidong's changes at any time.

Fu Xiaomin looked a little more lively. Although her eyes were looking at this place all the time, her eyeballs were gurgling, probably in the concealment she thought she was doing.

Zou Yi relaxed a lot, and casually sat next to Fu Xiaomin on the mahogany chair. Two women who were also luxuriously dressed and had an elegant temperament sat here, making the room a little softer.

Li Weidong put down his teacup, picked up an envelope on his desk, and said softly, "I plan to liquidate all Internet companies invested in the United States within six months, except for these companies!"

Li Weidong spoke in the softest voice about a major event involving hundreds of billions of dollars!
After the three of them listened, the only reaction was to straighten their bodies, subconsciously wanting to get closer to Li Weidong to hear more clearly.

Li Weidong cleared his throat and continued: "I originally wanted to call you guys, but it's better to tell you in person, so I'll take the trouble to make a trip!"

The two of them were still immersed in shock, so they didn't care about Li Weidong's kind words!

"Chairman, all investments in the United States must be cleared!" Fu Xiaomin asked in surprise.

"Not all of them, except for these companies. Of course, some of the stocks of these companies will be sold in the next few months, and the shares will be kept for future increase!" Li Weidong pointed to the file bag on the table .

"Chairman, do you mean that the US stock market will crash soon?" Jiang Zhili continued to ask.

"Who knows, but I have a hunch that any cat or dog can be listed, and as long as it is listed, it will skyrocket. I really think that the money is blown by the wind!"

"When the bubbles rise, there will always be a day when they burst. Those who don't wear clothes will be embarrassed!" Li Weidong said quietly.

Zou Yi didn't speak, but picked up the sealed envelope on the table, on which was printed "Top Secret" in big red letters like an official document.

Seeing Li Weidong nodding, Zou Yi picked up the scissors on the table and carefully cut off the seal, which contained a letterhead with the company's letterhead.

The English names of several companies are simply written on the letter paper, which is Li Weidong's handwriting. Except for its momentum and strength, it is also commonly known as the iron hook and silver strokes, without the slightest sense of beauty.

After reading it, Zou Yi was puzzled and frowned. He didn't understand why these companies were an exception. There was no Yahoo name in it. Except for a few recognized companies, the rest were unknown.

Sitting next to Zou Yi, Fu Xiaomin also saw these companies, all of which Li Weidong focused on. In particular, one company had no hope of making a profit from its establishment to its listing.

Jiang Zhili was sitting opposite, too far away to see the list on the paper. He was anxious, but he couldn't show it too much.

Zou Yi handed the list to Fu Xiaomin, Fu Xiaomin memorized it, then handed it to Jiang Zhili, Jiang Zhili memorized it silently, and then handed it to Li Weidong.

Since this piece of letter paper is classified as top secret, it can only be seen in the eyes and kept in the heart, and cannot be taken out.

"Chairman, although the stock market is booming now, if there is a large amount of liquidation in the secondary market, it will definitely attract the attention of some regulatory authorities!" Jiang Zhili pondered for a while before expressing his concerns.

"Also, if it is within six months to transfer these funds to China, even to Hong Kong Island, without a legitimate reason, the difficulty is not so great!" Fu Xiaomin also said.

Li Weidong has decided to clear the warehouse, so it is no longer a question that can be discussed. How to properly solve these problems is what they should consider now.

Moreover, Li Weidong has proved with many practical actions that there will be no problems with the decisions he made, and Jiang Zhili and Fu Xiaomin are not qualified to put forward other different opinions.

When they cleared Netscape, they hesitated and questioned, but the facts now prove that these hesitation and doubts have no intentional value.

In the six months since Netscape went public, the stock price has soared sixfold from the first-day issue price. Many people even think that Netscape will be called the second Microsoft.

But at this moment, Li Weidong asked them to sell their Netscape stocks. Although Jiang Zhili and Fu Xiaomin felt it was a pity, Li Weidong was the boss, and they had to carry out this order.

And at this time, after several rounds of investment and lead investment, Li Weidong has invested more than 1000 million U.S. dollars, and has already achieved a return of nearly 200 times, which is already a miracle.

However, although it was implemented, during that period of time, they agreed that Li Weidong might lose an opportunity to become a world-class rich man on par with Bill.

At the time when Netscape was being hyped wildly, the stock was sold very smoothly. Almost all the stocks were sold to institutions and some investment companies in the form of block transactions.

There is almost no impact on the secondary market, but I don't know why, since Li Weidong sold the stock, except for the initial period of growth, it peaked.

Although there were downs and ups later, it never reached the previous high point, and later it was inevitable to be acquired. The market share gradually declined, and the decline has already begun.

Moreover, the sale of Netscape's stock gave them a lot of money at once, and only then did they have the capital that has dominated the venture capital industry in the United States for so many years.

Because of these capitals, the two English letters "PF" are well-known on Wall Street, and have become the cradle of capital that countless entrepreneurs are chasing after.

So no matter from which point of view, Li Weidong's decision to sell Netscape was correct.

But now it is different from the original one. First of all, the amount is very different. If calculated according to the current valuation, the scale of the capital assets of 蚍书 capital has exceeded 600 billion U.S. dollars.

"This is a question that needs to be considered with your professional knowledge. If I understand this, what do you guys do?" Li Weidong said confidently,

"Besides, the money doesn't have to be transferred to the country. You can also invest in some real economies in the United States or other countries. In short, it's fine to not engage in the Internet for a few years!"

Now once a company is associated with words such as black technology and the Internet, its valuation will be skyrocketed, and it is embarrassing to say that the price-earnings ratio is less than [-].

Based on this valuation, even on the day the company closes down, it won't be able to make so much profit back. Where is the future to see?

Although now is not the time to invest in the Internet, other real economies are still doing well, and it is not easy and unrealistic to get all the money back!

Even if it is so difficult to escape the supervision of relevant departments, these departments of others are still quite powerful, and it is difficult to escape their eyes with so much money.

This is not the future, one or two billion is a small target, and a merger of tens of billions seems like a simple meal.

But even so, Li Weidong still believes that there is no problem that money can't solve!

"Six months is not long or short. We can use many methods, but we need the help of Mr. Xu from Orient Fund and Mr. Li from Minsheng Bank!" Zou Yi pondered for a while and said.

"There is no problem with this. If you need anything, you can go to them directly!" Li Weidong agreed, this is his own money, and the convenience that can be provided will naturally be provided.
