Chapter 513
"We are the most powerful investment company in Silicon Valley. As long as you cooperate with us, Himalayan Radio can be listed this year!"
"I want to see your General Manager. We are Franklin Asset Management!"
When Larsen entered the office, he saw a large group of people gathered at the door of the Himalayan Radio office, all shouting to see the General Manager, founder, etc., of Himalayan Radio.
These were investors who came from Silicon Valley, Huaerjie, and various states in America upon hearing the news. With Himalayan Radio's current performance, it was naturally "attracting bees and butterflies."
Registered users broke through 3 million, daily website clicks broke through 1 million, and platform revenue broke through 3.2 million in a single month. Himalayan Radio's performance was already attractive enough, even exceeding the performance of Netscape and Yahoo, which were already listed or about to be listed, when they first went online.
Anyone could see that Himalayan Radio had become a sweet pastry, and naturally, someone would run over to get a share.
Although these investment companies that came were mixed, some were truly powerful, and some wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to get Himalayan Radio's equity and cash out at a high price after listing, but it could also be seen how popular Himalayan Radio was now!
Larsen was led by the security guard into the office. He saw that the Himalayan Silicon Valley office, which he hadn't been to for more than a month, had completely changed.
The number of office staff was more than double what Larsen had seen before. The whole office was busy, and telephone bells rang one after another, never stopping.
But for these bells, Larsen was not annoyed at all, but felt wonderful, just like the sound of US dollars...
"Li!"
Larsen went straight to Li Li Dongling's office and saw Li Li Dongling was on the phone.
After Li Li Dongling hung up the phone, Larsen went straight up and asked Li Li Dongling with burning eyes, "Has Himalayan Radio succeeded?"
Li Li Dongling laughed when he heard Larsen's words and poured him a cup of coffee. During this period, Larsen had made great contributions. Himalayan Radio's ability to recruit so many podcast creators and have such great heat was inseparable from Larsen's credit for hype.
"Theoretically so, but there are still some things to do before listing!"
But hearing this, Larsen's face was still full of joy. Once Feiyan Technology was successfully listed, Larsen's net worth would also skyrocket.
Li Li Dongling promised to give Larsen 0.2% of Feiyan Technology's equity, and also let him enter Feiyan Technology to serve as the manager of the Legal Department, handing over the North American legal affairs of Himalaya and Feiyan Technology to Larsen's law firm. This meant that a large amount of US dollars would pour into Larsen's pocket. How could he not be excited!
"Next, financing for Himalayan Radio?" Larsen sat down and took a sip of coffee.
Li Li Dongling nodded and shook his head again. "It is financing, but not for Himalayan Radio, but for Feiyan Technology!
The one to be listed on NASDAQ this time is Hanxi Feiyan Technology Company!"
"It's all the same..."
Just after saying this, Larsen suddenly reacted, and then took a cold breath. He suddenly understood why Li Li Dongling wanted to emphasize this sentence.
If it was only financing for Himalayan Radio, the valuation would be at most a few hundred million US dollars. After all, the market was like this. It hadn't reached the Internet frenzy period a few years later, where an Internet company's valuation was billions of US dollars.
Like Netscape and Yahoo, which were about to be listed, they were also listed with a valuation of several hundred million US dollars.
But the parent company of Himalayan Radio, Feiyan Technology, once listed as a whole, the valuation would definitely not be just a few hundred million US dollars.
After all, Himalayan Radio could only be considered Feiyan Technology's "side business," although the fame of this side business was now greater than the main business and the parent company. Li Li Dongling was going to bundle Himalayan Radio with Feiyan Technology for listing...
In addition to the side business, Feiyan Technology also had the main business of making mini radios, and it was a main business with an annual revenue of 796 million US dollars and a net profit of 176.4 million US dollars!
That is to say, if Feiyan Technology was listed as a whole, then whether the side business Himalayan Radio made money or not, I don't know, but in the name of Himalayan Radio, Feiyan Technology would become the most profitable Internet company in the global Internet industry. By then, would he still be afraid that the stock price wouldn't rise?!
"Shit!"
"This idea is simply too genius!"
Larsen exclaimed several times. He had completely understood Li Li Dongling's idea of manipulating Himalayan Radio and Feiyan Technology. After understanding it, Larsen couldn't help but marvel at the subtlety of this game.
The radio business had long been unpopular, but regardless of whether it was mini radios or emergency radios, they were already yesterday's flowers and were not favored by Huaerjie. But it didn't prevent it from making money! Mini radios could support another ten years, which was no problem!
The radio business didn't make money, but after launching Himalayan Radio, Feiyan Technology caught the identity of an Internet concept stock. Listing as an Internet company, and having the revenue of mini radios, Feiyan Technology had both face and substance. As long as there were Huaerjie institutions cooperating with the hype, it would be difficult for the stock price not to fly!
Next, Larsen still needed to deal with legal issues. Li Li Dongling naturally didn't need to hide anything from him, and this path of bundled listing would soon be negotiated with Sequoia Investment and Huaerjie institutions, and it couldn't be hidden from those human spirits.
"On your side, have you found anyone willing to endorse Feiyan Technology?" Li Li Dongling asked Larsen.
Feiyan Technology and Li Dongling High-Tech wanted to gain a foothold in America and be able to cut leeks on NASDAQ, they must have powerful figures to endorse them. Otherwise, they would be meat on the chopping block, and they wouldn't know when they would be cut by someone.
Having a figure to endorse Li Dongling High-Tech didn't mean he could protect the entire Li Dongling High-Tech, but at least there was someone who could report the news. Otherwise, if they were blind, if something happened, they wouldn't know who was targeting them.
"With the current fame of Himalayan Radio, it is not difficult to find a state congressman, or even a Capitol Hill congressman, to endorse it!"
Larsen smiled, then restrained his expression. "But it's not so easy to find someone suitable to endorse Feiyan Technology!"
"This is Johannes Reed, a Democratic congressman in New York City!"
Larsen took out a document and pushed it to Li Li Dongling. Li Li Dongling flipped through the document. This year, Reed was forty-three years old, just at the prime of his life. Within the Democratic Party, he also belonged to the young and strong faction.
America's Silicon Valley technology and Internet, Hollywood entertainment, Huaerjie, and other industries all belonged to the Democratic Party's basic market. New York itself was a staunch Democratic vote bank, and California was also the same. These two states were known as the Democratic Party's money bag and vote bank.
The supporters and endorsing figures behind Silicon Valley technology and Internet companies were basically Democratic figures. Larsen naturally chose Democratic figures to endorse Feiyan Technology.
After looking at the document for a few times, Li Li Dongling put the document aside. To be honest, looking at the document, he couldn't see anything. Johannes Reed was born in a middle-class family in South Carolina. His father was a textile factory manager, and his mother was a figure in the federal post office.
After graduating from university, he studied law in New York and later served as a lawyer. His winning rate in lawsuits was very high, but he was also complained about by the outside world that he only fought lawsuits he was sure of.
The most famous lawsuit Reed fought was a few years ago when a drainage company's equipment failed, causing a girl to be seriously injured. After Reed took over the lawsuit, he refused to settle, and finally made the company compensate the girl's family 25 million US dollars, making Reed famous in one battle and becoming a representative of upholding justice!
As a result, Reed also successfully entered the federal officialdom of America. Lawyers, doctors, and teachers in America were the easiest professions to change identities, and Reed was no exception.
"I have had some dealings with Reed. This guy's image in the media is perfect, his career is perfect, and his family is perfect, but..."
Larsen said mysteriously to Li Li Dongling, "But there is no cat in the world that doesn't steal fish. I heard rumors that Reed has a secret lover and even gave birth to an illegitimate daughter for him!"
"Larsen!"
Li Li Dongling tapped the table to remind Larsen, who was running further and further away. Although these gossips were indeed exciting, what Li Li Dongling cared about was not these. "How is Reed's official career? Can he serve as a consultant for Feiyan Technology and endorse Feiyan Technology?"
Larsen saw that Li Li Dongling was not interested in these gossips and showed a regretful expression. "He is highly valued within the Democratic Party, and his relationship with the next President pushed by the Democratic Party is also very good. There are rumors that he has great hope of becoming a senator from New York State in the future!"
"Endorsement should be no problem, but Reed cares very much about his image in the outside world. I'm afraid that before he accepts Feiyan Technology's consultant, you need to meet him in person!"
Li Li Dongling looked at Reed's document, pondered for a moment, and then nodded. "After finishing the things here, I will meet him in New York!"
……
"General Manager Li, now there are quite a few Silicon Valley venture capital, Internet companies, and Huaerjie institutions that all want to invest in Himalayan Radio!"
Zhou Zhou Hualiang came to Li Li Dongling's office and handed a list to Li Li Dongling. Now the staff of the entire Silicon Valley office were full of energy. Once Himalayan Radio was listed, they would definitely be able to get a portion of equity rewards, and their net worth would skyrocket.
The list Zhou Zhou Hualiang handed to Li Li Dongling was a list of companies that wanted to invest in Himalayan Radio. The names marked on it were the few companies selected that were the most powerful and had the most hope of investing in Himalayan Radio.
Li Li Dongling reviewed the list. There were many famous investment companies on it, but after Li Li Dongling looked at it, he only circled the names of three companies on the list.
Zhou Zhou Hualiang saw that the three companies were Netscape, Yahoo, and Sequoia Investment!
"On Huaerjie, which institution is the most sincere about Himalayan Radio?"
Hearing Li Li Dongling's words, Zhou Zhou Hualiang said without hesitation, "Citigroup!"
