Chapter 405: Paying Respects at the Wharf

Every industry has local snakes and mountain-sitting eagles. Of course, you can ignore those people. If you grind for a few years, it is said that Feiyan Technology can also slowly complete its listing.

But if you want Feiyan Technology to complete its listing next year, and not be targeted after listing, not be shorted every three days, and not be rumored with various negative news, then you can't avoid those local snakes on Huaerjie.

Who is supporting Soros and the Muddy Waters Investment Company, which specializes in shorting mainland concept stocks? Even if you don't say it, you can guess it. Besides the major investment banks on Huaerjie, who else could it be!

Counting the domestic companies that have been shorted by Muddy Waters Investment, besides New Oriental, which had the support of Tiger Fund and escaped a disaster, which of the others—Sino-Forest, Orient Paper, Luckin Coffee, Anta Sports, Huishan Dairy, etc. —wasn't tossed until it suffered heavy losses? Several even delisted. Don't talk about "flies don't bite seamless eggs." How clean can those American companies be?

In the end, even as long as rumors spread that which China concept stock company was targeted by Muddy Waters, then regardless of what conclusion Muddy Waters finally gave, this company's stock would have already fallen into a mess.

Just like Muddy Waters targeting New Oriental, within two days, New Oriental's stock price fell by 70%, and 2 billion USD vanished into thin air. This also means that Muddy Waters earned hundreds of millions of USD in two days by shorting!

For short-selling institutions on Huaerjie like Muddy Waters and Citron, Li Li Dongling can't talk about fear or anything, but these people are like toads; they don't bite people but they make people feel disgusted. If they make trouble at a critical moment, it is too annoying.

Li Li Dongling hopes that Feiyan Technology will go to NASDAQ to harvest leeks, not to be harvested as leeks.

Especially since there are quite a few things to do next. Li Li Dongling doesn't want to be disgusted by someone jumping out at a critical moment, so he still has to pay respects at the wharf that should be paid, so that he can have fewer troubles like Muddy Waters!

Feiyan Technology's round of equity rewards was finished, and basically everyone in the conference room received a sum of equity. Even Zhu Zhao Jiang, who had just become a Li Dongling High-Tech executive, received 0.36% of equity.

"If Feiyan Technology can list and reach the level of Netscape, that would be great!"

Zhang Ao said with a smile. He runs domestically and overseas, and compared to others, he is instead more aware of the raging fire in Silicon Valley.

However, everyone in the conference room also knows the news about Netscape. Li Li Dongling regularly has people transport news about overseas tech, internet, and finance to the country. Li Dongling High-Tech's executives are actually aware of what happened on the other side of the ocean.

On the day Netscape listed, its market value exceeded 2.7 billion USD. Afterward, although the stock price fell a portion, now Huaerjie is touting Netscape, and the internet concept is rising. Netscape's momentum is not bad, and it shouldn't be difficult to exceed a market value of 3 billion USD.

And if Feiyan Technology can reach Netscape's level, then even Zhu Zhao Jiang, who holds 0.36% equity, will have his net worth exceed 10 million USD. Converted into RMB, he will become a super-rich man with a net worth of nearly 100 million!

"If it can list, in the short term, Feiyan Technology's market value might not be able to compare with Netscape. Netscape will be the leader in the internet industry for the next few years, and no company can replace it."

"However, if the timeline is lengthened, Feiyan Technology's market value will definitely be able to surpass Netscape!"

Li Li Dongling tapped the table lightly with his finger and said with a smile. As for whether the people in the conference room believe it or not, that is their own business.

Li Li Dongling is also reminding this group of people in the conference room not to rush to cash out their stocks after Feiyan Technology lists and the lock-up period passes, only to regret it after a few years.

In the next few years, the bubble on NASDAQ will be blown bigger and bigger. As long as the story is told well, are you afraid that the stock price won't rise?

As for whether they listen to Li Li Dongling's words, that is their own business. Li Li Dongling has already reminded them anyway.

Feiyan Technology is the most important thing for Li Dongling High-Tech next year, and it is also the thing that needs Li Li Dongling to fly to America to solve personally. It is also the most important thing for this year-end meeting.

Afterward, it was basically discussing the bonuses, prizes, year-end bonuses, and excellent staff awards to be issued to everyone in the company this year.

In previous years, year-end bonuses might have attracted the attention of Ren Ren Yuefeng, Hu Hu Zixian, and others, but this year, compared with the Feiyan equity they received, those year-end bonuses didn't count for much.

"Should we invite stars to come as performance guests for this year's annual meeting?"

Gao Peng, who is in charge of Li Dongling High-Tech's logistics and also manages various daily activities, asked Li Li Dongling when the meeting was about to end.

Times are different now. In the past, Li Dongling High-Tech's annual meeting basically had no rules, and anyone who wanted to howl on stage could do so. But now, Li Dongling High-Tech's annual meeting also needs to be rehearsed in advance and can no longer be a grassroots team like before.

Thinking back to the first year when Li Dongling High-Tech was just established and held its annual meeting, Li Li Dongling, Yao Yao Luoying, and the others all performed on stage themselves. There are still videotapes kept until now. If these tapes are leaked out in ten or more years, it is estimated that they will become classics.

Remembering that at that time, Zhang Ao, Gao Peng, and the others were still shouting that Li Dongling High-Tech's annual meeting should invite stars to join in the fun. At that time, everyone just took it as a joke.

But now, inviting stars to Li Dongling High-Tech's annual meeting to perform is no longer a problem at all. Not to mention domestic stars, even inviting stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan, or even bands from America and England to sing a few songs, is not a difficult task for Li Dongling High-Tech.

Hearing Gao Peng's words, Yao Yao Luoying, Zhang Ao, and the others all showed smiles on their faces, but they also carried a bit of emotion. They clearly know that starting this year, Li Dongling High-Tech's annual meeting will probably be different from before.

"Invite a few stars to come over, mainly stars within Hanxi Province. As for the rest, follow the previous years. Li Dongling High-Tech internal personnel who want to perform at the annual meeting can all sign up. As long as they go on stage, they can get a reward!"

Li Li Dongling said. Li Li Dongling still hopes that Li Dongling High-Tech's annual meeting will be dominated by Li Dongling High-Tech's internal people.

Of course, now going on stage to perform is something many people like, wanting to be an eye-catching bag or experience the addiction of being a star. After a few more years, the situation will be completely different. No one likes to be tired for a year and then have to go on stage to be a cow or horse. More of the younger generation hopes to see stars and celebrities at the annual meeting to attract their attention.

"The year-end bonuses for staff of Li Dongling High-Tech, Feiyan Technology, Dongxin Semiconductor, Dongfang Optoelectronics, Shenzhou Storage, and other companies should be audited as soon as possible and issued together with the wages in the last month of this year!" Li Li Dongling instructed the group of people in the conference room.

After returning to the office, Li Li Dongling also felt a bit exhausted. Today's meeting lasted from morning until now, and the sky outside had gradually darkened.

However, at this moment, Li Li Dongling still couldn't rest. He had his assistant Su Chicheng bring back two portions of meals, and then asked him to invite Wu Wu Xinyi over. In the conference room just now, some words were not easy to ask directly, but Li Li Dongling needed to know the truth about several projects of Dongxin Semiconductor. Having thrown in so much money this year, Li Li Dongling also had to listen to a sound.

When Wu Wu Xinyi came in, Li Li Dongling was eating a simple meal. Seeing him come in, Li Li Dongling pushed a portion of the meal directly in front of him.

Wu Wu Xinyi didn't stand on ceremony and ate directly. Seeing Li Li Dongling's posture just now, Wu Wu Xinyi could clearly see that Li Li Dongling had important matters to ask him. If he didn't fill his stomach now, he might not be able to hold on later.

Seeing Wu Wu Xinyi had eaten seven or eight portions, Li Li Dongling stood up himself, poured him a glass of water, and then asked, "Now, what stage has the lithography machine project reached?"

Wu Wu Xinyi picked up the water glass and took a sip. He didn't have any surprise and knew that Li Li Dongling would ask him this sooner or later.

Long before this, when Li Li Dongling went to Dongxin Semiconductor, the Zhou Shi team had already purchased overseas parts and prepared to imitate a lithography machine in the laboratory. But the gap between a laboratory lithography machine and a lithography machine that can be used on a production line is simply too large. How long it will take for the laboratory to build it and then use it on a production line is really hard to say.

"Now on Dongxin Semiconductor's side, the lithography machine project is led by Chief Engineer Zhou Shi, as well as engineers Zhang Zhang Shiying and Wang Zhou Xia. The team is developing a 450-nanometer lithography machine, and it has already begun to take shape!"

"When can the laboratory's lithography machine be used on the production line?" Li Li Dongling stared into Wu Wu Xinyi's eyes and asked.

"Next year, we can try to conduct trial production!"

Wu Wu Xinyi said with a bitter smile, "In reality, since this year, a large part of the lithography machine R&D team's time has been spent on developing various supporting parts, materials, etc. Many of these parts and materials cannot be purchased overseas, or the ones purchased are unqualified, so we can only rely on self-development, especially for improvements! Especially for laser systems, objective lens systems, workbenches, photomasks, photoresists, lenses..."
