Chapter 514
On Huaerjie, there were naturally many investment banks that wanted to invest in Himalayan Radio, but the pies drawn by those companies were enough to fool other companies, but for Li Li Dongling, who was a master-level pie-drawer himself, it didn't work.
Speaking of which, what kind of pie had Li Li Dongling not experienced in his previous life? Boss Jia who returned to the country next week, Luckin Coffee that invited everyone in the country to drink a cup of coffee, and a certain shared bicycle that didn't know how many hundreds of years it would take to refund the deposit—which pie drawn wasn't fragrant?
"Citigroup's investment department is the most active investment institution for Himalayan Radio, and Merrill Lynch, Gao Sheng, etc., also have an interest in investing!"
Zhou Zhou Hualiang said to Li Li Dongling. In such matters, he didn't dare to talk nonsense or add his own subjective opinions. This financing might involve tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of US dollars. Where could he add feet to a snake? He only dared to report truthfully.
After hearing this, Li Li Dongling thought for a moment and knew what was going on. Among the Huaerjie banks and investment banking institutions, which one was the most active in the country now? Basically, it was Citigroup.
Citigroup was the earliest American bank to enter the country. Now it has set up offices in Hong Kong and Shanghai, and it is even rumored that it will establish a headquarters in the country.
For Feiyan Technology and Li Dongling High-Tech, Citigroup is estimated to be the one that understands them best in America, and this time it is naturally the most active Huaerjie institution.
"This financing for Himalayan Radio and Feiyan Technology, just invite these four companies: Sequoia Investment, Citigroup, Yahoo, and Netscape!"
Li Li Dongling said to Zhou Zhou Hualiang. It was four companies, but the ones he really wanted to cooperate with were Sequoia Investment and Citigroup.
These two, one representing Silicon Valley venture capital and one representing Huaerjie, were enough to complete the listing of Feiyan Technology bundled with Himalaya with the support of these two sides.
This time it was to see how many chips he could rake in!
"According to sources, Himalayan Radio will complete financing in the near future. It is not yet clear which venture capital company Himalayan Radio will cooperate with.
But there are rumors that the manager of the investment banking department of Citigroup has already gone to Silicon Valley, and it is very likely that he is participating in the investment of Himalaya!"
Now Himalayan Radio is the focus of media in the country, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, and other places. After the news was reported by media in America, this news was soon reprinted and reported by Hong Kong Phoenix Television, TVB, ATV, and other television media.
As soon as the Hong Kong media reported it, media in Guangdong, Beijing, Shanghai, etc., also reprinted it one after another, making the originally noisy Internet rumors in the country even more rampant.
As for Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Internet, which hadn't experienced being played bad by the Li family of the Yangtze River, was also very concerned about Himalayan Radio. If Himalayan Radio was successfully listed, Hong Kong would also be able to set off an Internet investment boom.
……
"Mr. Mo Mo Lizi, may I ask if Sequoia Investment is going to invest in Himalayan Radio?"
"How many US dollars is Sequoia Investment prepared to invest in Himalayan Radio?"
Mo Mo Lizi came downstairs to the Himalayan Radio office building. After getting off the car, he was surrounded by reporters and media waiting downstairs, throwing various questions at him.
"Sequoia Investment, of course, has the intention to invest in Himalayan Radio. Sequoia Investment has always hoped to support potential startups.
HP, Apple, Cisco, Yahoo, etc., are all like this, and now Himalayan Radio is no exception. This is not only supporting Himalayan Radio, but also supporting more people to complete the American Dream!"
Mo Mo Lizi's face was full of smiles, blowing up Himalayan Radio, not at all like when he met Li Li Dongling, he still claimed to investigate Himalayan Radio.
With the passage of time, one after another "lucky ones" appeared on Himalayan Radio. Now Himalayan Radio already had signs of fanaticism. From NBA stars, Hollywood stars, and small models who were already famous, to housewives, unknown rappers, and literary youths, they all flocked to Himalayan Radio.
Himalayan Radio had become an opportunity for countless people to realize the American Dream. Overnight fame and overnight wealth seemed to be realized by relying on it, which was simply comparable to the wish lamp in Arabian mythology.
By now, there was no need for Himalayan Radio to find water armies. Some people spontaneously began to blow up and maintain Himalayan Radio, treating it as a spiritual pillar.
Just like the sales staff of a sales company, hoping that one day they would become gold-medal sales staff and realize the leap in net worth, status, and class. Now whoever dared to question Himalayan Radio, those who wanted to rely on Himalaya to turn their lives around would be anxious first!
Himalayan Radio was the most special Internet company Mo Mo Lizi had ever seen. If he had to use one word to describe it, it was the Internet version of the Gold Rush, just like the vigorous Western Gold Rush in America back then.
Even many people ran to the Himalayan Radio website, not to be users at all, but purely to see if there was an opportunity to get rich.
How long this fanaticism could last was hard to say, but the heat was really scary, and it could constantly increase the heat, especially after it was linked to US dollars.
Look at how many people were attracted in the American Western Gold Rush era, and then look at how many people tirelessly bought lottery tickets every day to get rich overnight, and you can think of the current heat of Himalayan Radio!
When walking into the Himalayan Radio office, Mo Mo Lizi took a deep breath. If you ask him if he regrets it now, it is estimated that only he knows.
If Li Li Dongling mentioned the Himalayan project to him back then, and Mo Mo Lizi, on behalf of Sequoia Investment, invested in Himalayan Radio, then when he came here today, he would have been blown to the sky by the media, becoming another classic case of his discerning eyes!
No matter what he thought in his heart, at this time, regret was useless. Mo Mo Lizi knew that the key was not to miss the investment in Himalayan Radio.
When walking into the conference room, Mo Mo Lizi saw several acquaintances. Jim Clark of Netscape, Yang Gao Zhiyuan, Kugel, and others of Yahoo were all present.
In the corner of the conference room, Li Li Dongling was talking happily with someone. Seeing Mo Mo Lizi coming in, Li Li Dongling nodded to him.
"Li, Citigroup's company in Shanghai, mainland, paid attention to Li Dongling High-Tech very early, and reported to the headquarters many times about Li Dongling High-Tech, but it's a pity that there has been no opportunity to cooperate!"
The person talking to Li Li Dongling was Dickson, the manager of Citigroup's investment department. Between the lines, he seemed to regret that Citigroup failed to invest in Li Dongling High-Tech early.
Whether Dickson's words were true or false, only he knew. Citigroup's company in the mainland did pay attention to Li Dongling High-Tech very early, but it was not just Citigroup that paid attention to Li Dongling High-Tech. Other Huaerjie institutions, investment companies and banks established by old Europe in Hong Kong and Shanghai also paid attention to Li Dongling High-Tech very early.
If they had invested in Li Dongling High-Tech at that time, it is estimated that by now, they would have already received rich returns.
But this was also where Dickson felt uncomfortable. Other mainland companies, including the current Chrysanthemum Factory, ZTE, NetEase, Haier, Changhong, Yinghaiwei, etc., were all short of money, except for Li Dongling High-Tech, which was an exception.
Except for when it was just established, Li Dongling High-Tech was not stable and needed funds, but subsequently, the products launched by Li Dongling High-Tech were basically high-profit and best-selling products!
By now, Li Dongling High-Tech was already the company with the highest cash flow in the country's private companies, none of them. Citigroup wanted to exchange US dollars for Li Dongling High-Tech's equity, but didn't have the opportunity!
Why was Citigroup so active in the face of Himalaya's investment this time, performing far more actively than Gao Sheng, Morgan, Bear Stearns, etc.? It was because Citigroup had a big plan, wanting to take the opportunity of investing in Himalayan Radio to pull a relationship with Li Li Dongling, so that in the future, they would have the opportunity to intervene in Li Dongling High-Tech's other projects.
"I hope this time, I can make up for your regret, Dickson!" Li Li Dongling said to him.
As for Li Li Dongling's attitude towards Dickson and Citigroup, that is, they can cooperate, they can be treated as an interest alliance object in America, but counting on completely believing his ghost words and entrusting one's life to the other party, that would be nonsense!
Whether it's Citigroup or other Huaerjie institutions, which one is easy to deal with? Counting on them to be kind-hearted people is not as reliable as counting on the sun rising from the west.
Which Huaerjie institution is not a master who eats people without spitting out bones? Otherwise, it wouldn't be able to survive on Huaerjie until today.
But no matter how bastard these Huaerjie institutions are, the rules of NASDAQ are decided by Huaerjie. If you want to list in America and cut leeks, you can't bypass these institutions. No matter how these bastards are, you have to pick one to be the mountain head!
Inside the conference room of the Himalayan Silicon Valley office building, it was full. Li Li Dongling looked at the crowd in the conference room. On the left were Yao Yao Luoying, Zhou Zhou Hualiang, Lu Kui, etc., and on the right were Jim Clark, Mo Mo Lizi, Yang Gao Zhiyuan, Dickson, etc.
Don't look at the harmonious attitude of the two sides now, but later, if the two sides don't slap the table, it's considered that their cultivation is quite high!
"I am very happy that everyone can come to Himalayan Radio. I think everyone knows why you are here this time!
I invited everyone here this time for only one thing: financing for Feiyan Technology. This year, Feiyan Technology must complete its listing on NASDAQ!" Li Li Dongling said very straightforwardly in his opening remarks. At this time, there was no need to hide anything.
"Financing for Feiyan Technology, shouldn't it be Himalayan Radio?"
Jim Clark frowned. He felt that things seemed a bit wrong. This was not as simple as saying the wrong thing.
"Himalayan Radio is Feiyan Technology, and Feiyan Technology is Himalayan Radio. The two are indispensable and cannot be separated!" Li Li Dongling said directly, showing the dagger.
Hearing Li Li Dongling's words, Jim's expression was a bit unhappy. Thoughts flashed through the minds of Mo Mo Lizi and Dickson, and their expressions couldn't help but become a bit solemn.
Only Yang Gao Zhiyuan and Kugel's Yahoo side remained unchanged. Yahoo came this time to rub off on the heat and pull heat for Yahoo's listing. It was enough to reach a cooperation with Himalayan Radio in name. Furthermore, with Li Li Dongling's existence, Yahoo didn't care about whether it lost money or not.
"Li, Feiyan Technology's radio business is not welcomed by the NASDAQ Securities Commission!" Mo Mo Lizi tactfully reminded Li Li Dongling.
"I know!"
Li Li Dongling's expression was still warm. "So Himalayan Radio appeared. Feiyan Technology will complete its listing as an Internet company!"
