Reborn since 1993

Chapter 653 Ignition
At a construction site in Pingyang, a man with dark skin, whose skin was dry from the wind, walked out of the construction site with a tired figure.

Arriving at the store next to the construction site, the man took out two crumpled dollars and placed them on the table, "I want a bottle of loose wine!"

The person in charge of the convenience store who was watching TV stood up lazily, picked up a plastic bottle of mineral water, shook it casually, and scooped water from a large barrel of sorghum wine into the plastic bottle.

"Give!"

A half-full bottle of bulk sorghum liquor appeared in front of the man coming out of the construction site. The man couldn't help but feel angry when he saw that there was only half a bottle of liquor.

In the past, he would buy liquor in full bottles. But when the words came to his lips, he held them back. This small shop was opened by a relative of the foreman of the construction site where he worked. If he offended the foreman, he would have no chance of working at this construction site.

After taking a sip of the spicy wine, the man felt that a lot of his fatigue from the day had dissipated. Working on the construction site, if he didn't numb himself with wine after work every day, he would be so sore all over that he couldn't eat or sleep.

Although he has been working at the construction site for about a month, for a man who was used to sitting in an office, working on a construction site is really a bit too much.

"I never thought that I, Xu Yiqiao, would have this day!"

Xu Yiqiao took another sip of wine and said self-pityingly that if someone from the technical department of the West City Wireless Factory No. 1 was here, they would definitely be shocked to see the man in front of them. He turned out to be Xu Yiqiao, the former head of the technical department of the Wireless Factory No. 1.

After leaving Xicheng Wireless Factory No. 1, Xu Yiqiao traveled all over the country and went to Shenzhen to start his own business. However, not only did he not make any money, he was also cheated many times. After spending all his savings, he returned to Hanxi in disgrace.

During this period, what made Xu Yiqiao happiest was that Xicheng Wireless Factory No. 1 went bankrupt and Liu Jiande went to jail, which allowed him to vent his anger for being kicked out of Xicheng Wireless Factory No. 1.

But after returning to Hanxi, Xu Yiqiao's life was not going well. He could not get into the state-owned factory, and he had been sitting in an office for so many years that his skills had long been abandoned. He was too embarrassed to do physical work, which made his life quite difficult. Recently, he could not make ends meet and had to go to the construction site.

"Zhou Wenyan, Song Yajun, Zhang Ao... they are all ungrateful bastards, and Li Dongling has no regard for our old friendship at all!"

Xu Yiqiao, who was drunk, cursed. He didn't want to think about how he treated the people in the technical department in the past. He only thought that when he went to their door to beg for help, these people in the technical department of Wireless Factory 1 were unwilling to pay attention to him.

In addition to Zhou Wenyan, who also met Xu Yiqiao, as for Zhang Ao, he was directly kicked out by the security.

Now every day after work, Xu Yiqiao would drink some horse urine and then start cursing. After cursing for a few more times, when Xu Yiqiao was about to return to the construction site to build a house, the news on the TV in the convenience store made him pause and slowly turn his head.

“The listing of Feiyan Technology is an important step for Pingyang, Hanxi, and even the domestic technology industry. It is a landmark event for the rise of the Internet in China!
In the future, the Pingyang Municipal Government will increase investment in the Internet industry..."

Xu Yiqiao stared blankly at the Feiyan Technology special program launched by Pingyang TV on TV. His head felt buzzing. The Feiyan brand, which once belonged to Xicheng Wireless Factory No. 170, was listed in America with a market value of billion yuan.

Just thinking about this, Xu Yiqiao felt dizzy. He didn't know whether he had drunk too much or was too stimulated. The market value was so high that he felt it was difficult to count just the fractions of the big transfer.

"This is impossible……"

"It shouldn't be like this!"

Xu Yiqiao staggered away, pouring wine into his mouth. He felt that if he didn't get drunk, he would go crazy with envy and jealousy!

Why? When the Feiyan brand was in the hands of Xicheng Wireless Factory No. 1, it couldn’t survive and was on the verge of bankruptcy.

When it came into the hands of Dongling Hi-Tech, it turned from a crow into a phoenix and went public in America. Xu Yiqiao really couldn't understand it.

"Neuropathy!"

Looking at Xu Yiqiao howling and crying, the people in the convenience store closed the window with curses and prepared to get a Feiyan mini radio, which cost about eighty or ninety yuan.

Although he was in charge of the construction site's canteen, he was just working for a relative of the site's contractor and was only earning a fee for his hard work.

Magazines like Reader's Magazine, Yilin Magazine, and Youth Digest have been advertising Feiyan mini radios for years. It's not that domestic products are inferior to foreign brands. Anyway, these magazines are praising Feiyan mini radios desperately, because Feiyan is their largest advertising magazine sponsor!

……

“From inception to listing, it took 19 months. It’s crazy!”

"My net worth increased by 58 billion RMB in one day, and my monthly salary is only RMB!"

"Have you seen Li Dongling's interview before Nasdaq? He said that semiconductors and the Internet are the world of Chinese people!"

"Stop bragging. The Tianji chips developed by Doxin Semiconductor, which was founded by Li Dongling, are all Intel's inventory from a few years ago. How dare he say that!" Posts about Feiyan Technology completely dominated the Tianya Forum. Yinghaiwei and other major BBS forums were also flooded with posts related to Feiyan Technology and Li Dongling.

These forum users were the first people to come into contact with the Internet. Most of them were just joining in the fun and did not regard the Internet as a career or job.

If Netscape and Yahoo were established overseas, so that these forum users have not been exposed to them and have not had a deep impression of them, then Feiyan Technology is a domestic company. Himalaya also has a website in China, although it is completely different from the overseas version.

The listing of Feiyan Technology has a huge impact on people who use the Internet in China today.

They never thought that one day the website they used to join in the fun and kill time and brag about things would actually be listed on the stock market and be so valuable!

Regardless of whether the comments on Feiyan Technology are positive or negative, the news that Feiyan Technology went public 19 months after its establishment and that Li Dongling's net worth increased by 58 billion in one day has become the hottest topic on the entire Chinese Internet today.

……

"The Internet really seems to be an opportunity. Netscape, Yahoo, Feiyan Technology, and Feiyan Technology all went public within one or two years of their establishment!"

Outside of Tianya, there were also several people discussing Feiyan Technology on the Mazhan BBS.

After Tianya.com appeared, users of BBS forums such as Mazhan and Huiduo.com gradually migrated to Tianya.com. After all, there were many more users there. Although there were good and bad people and the levels of users varied, it was indeed lively.

The major BBS sites have become increasingly deserted, and many have even been closed, but a few sites such as Mazhan are still in operation.

The people at Shangma Station are basically familiar with each other. Here, they don't argue with each other as they do on Tianya.com. Instead, people who are familiar with each other can have deep conversations here.

However, this situation did not last long. This year, Internet chat rooms have appeared on the domestic Internet. Now there are several chat rooms such as Bi Hai Yin Sha. The maximum number of people online at the same time exceeds 4,000, which has far surpassed the BBS sites.

But today, a lot of people who had been lurking in Mazhan have come out, including the founder of Mazhan, who was also the boss of Penguin in his previous life, Lei Jun of Kingsoft, Ding Sanshi, Wang Zhidong and many others.

“Do you want to enter the Internet industry?”

I don't know who said this, but after the station fell silent again, no one spoke anymore. However, only the people sitting in front of the computers knew what was in their minds.

Feiyan Technology went public 19 months after its establishment. For a group of technical people like them, the Himalayas website can be created by hand. If Feiyan Technology can go public, can they also go public by making a website?

It has to be said that this move by Li Dongling really stimulated countless people. It was a huge stimulus to programmers and investment companies, just like igniting the domestic Internet industry!
Wang Zhidong stared at the computer and read this sentence for a long time. Finally, he picked up the phone and called Duan Yongji of Sitong Group. "Mr. Duan, Sitong Lifang wants to do a new project..."

……

A star-rated hotel in Manhattan, New York is brightly lit today as Feiyan Technology will hold its listing celebration banquet here.

Internet companies from Silicon Valley, institutional companies from Wall Street, and many celebrities from New York all gather here.

Even for proud New Yorkers, a company with a market value of $2 billion is enough for these celebrities to make friends with. They regard people from other parts of America as country bumpkins, but when faced with opportunities and people who can bring them huge profits, they still need to make friends with them!
In New York, a den of money, everything is based on one's net worth. If you have money, you will be sought after by everyone and can buy everything you want. Without money, you can hardly move forward. Everyone is chasing after money and will do anything to get it and are willing to pay any price!
"plum!"

"This is my business card. Our company hopes to have more cooperation with Dongling Hi-Tech and is willing to help more industries under Dongling Hi-Tech to be listed in America!"

"Li, our company is interested in the mainland market. Is there any opportunity for cooperation?"

"I'm Lucy, a professional model in New York. Li, are you interested in having dinner together tomorrow?"

Dickson from Citibank stood aside and watched coldly. He saw a group of people surrounding Li Dongling and stuffing business cards into Li Dongling's hands.

Among these people, some want to take advantage of bargains and list Dongling Hi-Tech's industries in the Americas, while others want to enter the mainland market through Dongling Hi-Tech.

There are also models and actresses like Lucy who want to have something happen with Li Dongling. Not to mention joining a wealthy family, as long as they have children, it would be like having a long-term meal ticket for them, and they can get a large sum of alimony every year.

Dixon sneered at those who wanted to pick up bargains. Only after dealing with Dongling Hi-Tech did he understand Li Dongling's style.

Citigroup went to great lengths to establish a relationship with Dongling Hi-Tech, and Goldman Sachs is also working hard to have more cooperation with Dongling Hi-Tech.

These small companies on Wall Street thought they could get benefits from Dongling Hi-Tech just by talking. Dixon just shook his head when he saw this.
