Reborn Millennial Gamer

Chapter 362 I am the protagonist!

Lu Fei followed behind Chen Danian and entered the conference room. As he said, there was already a quarrel, and there was a fight.

Chen Tianqiao's box plan requires a lot of money. A high IPO price is good for financing, but the risk for underwriters is even greater.

For Goldman Sachs, David Solomon came forward.

He directly regarded "16 US dollars" as a fantasy, and even felt that Shanda could not stand firm at 13 US dollars, so he had to take the initiative to reduce the IPO by 10% to 15%, which is about 11 US dollars.

"It's fine if it doesn't rise, why is it still falling!"

Chen Tianqiao felt that his pride had been humiliated, so he refused.

David Solomon said: "Chen, Shanda doesn't take advantage of timing, products and sustainable profits."

Tang Jun shouted "No" at the top of his voice. He retired from Microsoft Huaxia last year and was invited by Chen Tianqiao to arrange for Shanda to go public. Like the founding team, he undoubtedly got incentive options, which involved vital interests, so he naturally argued for it :

"In the direction of China's Internet games, Shanda is undoubtedly the pioneer and leader. We are China's first Internet game listed company. The total profit for this year is expected to exceed 1.5 million US dollars. The cumulative undistributed profit at the end of last year was as high as 2300 million Wanmei Knife..."

"It's useless. Investors vote with money."

David Solomon pointed out that the mainstream game market in Europe and the United States is generally dominated by consoles, and online games are popular in Southeast Asia, but it is only an emerging industry on a global scale, with an uncertain future. Besides, Shanda is the first Chinese online game technology stock, which lacks value reference.

"How about we take a gamble and let the stock market test the outcome?"

Chen Tianqiao held on to the $16 knife and refused to give an inch.

"This is no child's play!"

David Solomon had nothing to say. From the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed Lu Fei, who was fishing and keeping a low profile, as if he saw a rescuer:

"Lu, what do you say?"

"I?"

Lu Fei felt that everyone in the conference room cast their gazes over, and shrugged with a smile.

"Yes, Mr. Lu, tell me, which faction do you support?"

Chen Tianqiao paid more attention to Master Lu than Goldman Sachs, regardless of other factors, he is Shanda's second largest shareholder.

Lu Fei raised his eyebrows, "What is the most important thing for listing?"

"opportunity!"

David Solomon and Tang Jun almost spoke in unison.

"Since technology stocks are generally in the doldrums, if the IPO is to be set at $16, it must have a good timing. Isn't there one right now?"

Lu Fei clapped his hands, "Google is going to go public soon, Shanda can postpone it, wait until Google rekindles capital's interest in technology stocks, and then go public soon, maybe it can hit $20."

The audience was silent for a moment, and David Solomon was the first to react: "This is an excellent timing! I agree!"

"I object!"

Chen Tianqiao said with a distressed face: "Mr. Lu, the timing is indeed good, but the delay is unlikely. The news of Shanda's listing in May has spread throughout the country. Even if the current timing is not going well, it is already ready and has to be announced. "

What a lot!
Lu Fei curled his lips and spread his hands.

Shanda, Goldman Sachs, and the underwriters fell into a confrontation again, and the stalemate lasted for more than two hours. Seeing that no one was willing to make an extra step, they finally broke up.

In the evening, at the grand reception for Wall Street investors, Lu Fei received much attention and was obviously more like the protagonist than the grand team.

Even though they didn't do anything, countless elites and rich people competed to toast first, undoubtedly overshadowing Chen Tianqiao in the spotlight.

Under the name of "Huaxia Buffett", he was bragging and fooling a lot of funds and capital.

In a word, I never ask to be measured by my victories, but my failures, Shanda, buy it, buy it, buy it!

After fulfilling his obligations, he came to the parking lot without saying a word, and took a car with Xu Xin to the hotel where he was staying.

She said, "how is it? Are you in a bad mood?"

Lu Fei said: "Yeah, they made me dizzy from the noise, and the people at the banquet didn't go to Chen Tianqiao, they all came to me."

"America worships the rich, but also worships technology heroes."

Xu Xin said with a smile: "You are a combination of Bill Gates, Jobs and Buffett, so it is naturally more popular."

A group of people came to the hotel where they were staying, and when they looked up, they almost froze. Fuck it, it turned out to be Jianguo Hotel.

Xu Xin said: "Ivanka's kind invitation, and a [-]% discount on the executive suite, it's hard to refuse."

"Ok."

Lu Fei took out a stack of small tickets from his pocket, tipped the doorman and waiter, and then went straight to the reserved room, and saw the door next door was open, and Ivanka, who heard the movement, came out immediately.

"Lu, welcome to my family's hotel, the meeting you attended is over?"

"That's right, ha~"

Lu Fei yawned and chatted, talking here and there, seemingly trivial and irrelevant, but he brought Shanda from time to time.

After a while, he finally apologized and said: "Sau Rui, I went to a meeting today after I got off the plane, but I was exhausted, so I had to sleep quickly to beat the jet lag, so..."

"Sau Rui, Lu, I'm disturbing your rest."

Ivanka asked seemingly casually: "It seems that the grand listing has made you very tired? Are you in big trouble?"

"No, everything is going very well. I am very optimistic about this stock. After the lock-up period ends, I will continue to hold it for one to two years." Lu Fei forcibly interrupted the chat on the pretext of sleeping.

"Good night, Lu, I wish you a good night's sleep."

Ivanka bit her lip and lowered her head, took a look at her well-dressed clothes, and even changed into a V-neck low-cut top, but she couldn't surprise the man, but at this moment, she didn't care about doubting her charm, and immediately went back to the room and locked the door .

She called: "Dad, Shanda is a good investment opportunity, we can try the water."

"Ha~"

Looking at the door that closed with a creak, Lu Fei, who was squinting and sleepy, suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes flashed brightly.

A new day, what the hell is the same cycle.

Meetings, quarrels, receptions, briefings, and other communications were held in an orderly manner. It was only a few days before the listing, and they were still arguing about whether the IPO should be $16 or $11, and they continued to argue.

Everyone's mental state seemed to be——

Tired, hurry up and destroy it!

Didn't play anymore?
Finally, Lu Fei couldn't take it anymore, and slapped the table: "Enough, let's stop here!"

In an instant, both Shanda and Goldman Sachs stared straight at each other, eyes full of expectation.

Lu Fei leaned forward: "Mr. Chen, I have an idea that I can try, but it will overwhelm the host and steal you as the master..."

Chen Tianqiao said: "Mr. Lu, you can tell me whatever ideas you have. As long as you can do it, I don't care."

Lu Fei crossed his hands, "How about not only highlighting you and Shanda, but also focusing on promoting me in the next meeting and communication?"

When David Solomon thought of Lu Fei at the banquet these days, like stars holding the moon, his eyes lit up:
"Lu, how do you want to promote it?"

"There are two pieces, one is me, and the other is the penguin under my name."

Lu Fei smiled and said, "Wall Street investors are not saying that Shanda lacks references, and the future of online games in China is still unknown. I can be a beacon for them. To tell you the truth, Penguin has made great achievements with "Miracle" and "Bubble Hall". , "Audition" 3 games, this year is expected to break the $5 million mark."

"What!?"

The elites of Goldman Sachs looked at each other, swallowing their saliva one by one, with a green light in their eyes.

"Lu, Penguin is listed, please consider our Goldman Sachs!"

David Solomon put Shanda behind him, and couldn't wait to hug Master Lu's thigh.

For the time being, Lu Fei put his finger on the table and turned the imminent IPO pricing meeting into a publicity meeting for him and Penguin in the United States.

Rather than promoting Shanda and bringing penguins along, it would be better to promote Penguins and bring Shanda as a foil.

The protagonist and the supporting role have inexplicably switched positions.

But I don’t care about that much. Before the listing, the propaganda machine was fully fired, with Penguin’s second shareholder MIH Media Group as a matchmaker, coupled with Goldman Sachs and Lu Fei’s good US media resources, the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal , "Vanity Fair"...

All of them are Master Lu, and all of them have penguins, which is tantamount to——

All eyes looked at me, I stopped pretending, I made an announcement, I spoke for Shanda!

"elder brother."

Chen Danian, who just rushed back to New York today, pushed Chen Tianqiao to wake up, "There is a result!"

"what's the result?"

"The underwriters are willing to accept our plan. The issue price will be set at $16. No, they think it can be raised to $20."

"Just because of Mr. Lu?"

"Yes, because of him, there are even rumors on Wall Street that Bill Gates and Buffett are optimistic about Shanda!"

Chen Danian was very excited: "Brother, you are so wise to ask Mr. Lu to invest in Shanda."

"Hehe, hehe~"

Chen Tianqiao forced a smile on her face. Although she achieved her goal, her heart was heavy and complicated. I was the main character, why did I become a supporting role!

Then in the future Shanda, am I still the protagonist...
