Chapter 516
"This is impossible!"
Hearing this lion's big opening price, Mo Mo Lizi couldn't help but shout. In the past, Sequoia Investment mostly played one-book-ten-thousand-profit investments, investing a few million dollars, and then after sending the invested company to listing, began to cash out and cut leeks in a big way.
Previously, Sequoia Investment had never invested over 100 million dollars at one time. Just now, Mo Mo Lizi shouted an investment of 90 million dollars, valuing Feiyan Technology at 900 million dollars. To be honest, it was already an unprecedented thing.
But who knew, Li Dongling didn't talk about martial arts here and directly shouted a valuation of 1.5 billion dollars for Feiyan Technology!
If according to the law when Netscape was listed, the stock price doubled two to three times on the day of listing, then the market value of Feiyan Technology on the day of listing would soar to 3 billion or even more than 4 billion dollars, which is almost on par with Netscape's current market value, right?!
Thinking of this, Mo Mo Lizi and Dixon suddenly felt that, it seems... it is not unacceptable. The greater the risk, the higher the return. If the market value really reaches 3 or 4 billion dollars, the money they invested will also double several times.
However, Mo Mo Lizi was unwilling to admit it, "Li, a valuation of 1.5 billion dollars is really too high. No one will take over the shares publicly issued by Feiyan Technology!"
"As long as Himalayan Radio and Feiyan Technology show enough value, I believe there will be investors who accept its pricing, and it is not just Huaerjie. A group of investors in Asia, the mainland, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, and other places will all scramble to buy its shares!"
Li Dongling reminded Mo Mo Lizi and others. Now, if you ask who is the most famous Internet stock in Asia, it is definitely Himalayan Radio!
As long as the performance of Himalayan Radio and Feiyan Technology is made more beautiful, Asia will definitely have a large number of investors to take over!
The Internet market in Asia is not good yet, but this does not mean that investors in Asia have no money, especially in Hong Kong, Tokyo, Singapore, Siam, and other places, there are still a large number of investors. As long as they feel that there is profit to be made, are they afraid that they won't scramble to buy Feiyan Technology's shares like crazy?
Dixon heard the overtones and looked at Li Dongling, "Then, does Feiyan Technology's management have the confidence to increase Feiyan Technology's revenue?!"
Yao Luoying, as the head of Feiyan Technology, looked at Li Dongling, saw him nodding, and then opened her mouth, "Feiyan Technology has some new projects, including self-developed projects and projects jointly cooperated with the parent company Dongling High-Tech, etc. It is expected that the performance may have a certain improvement in the future..."
"Projects the same as Himalayan Radio?" Jim Clark on the side couldn't help but ask.
A Himalayan Internet Radio project stirred up the Internet in America, opening up a new track. Now a bunch of Internet radio companies have emerged in Silicon Valley, basically copying homework following Himalayan Radio. They know that they can't compete with Himalayan Radio, but so what? It's enough to take the opportunity to rake in a sum of money.
If Feiyan Technology brings out another project like Himalayan Radio, even Netscape, which considers itself the leader of the Internet in America, would feel great pressure.
For Jim Clark's words, Yao Luoying smiled and didn't speak. This made Jim, Yang Zhiyuan, Kugel, Mo Mo Lizi, and others feel a bit uncertain.
They felt that Feiyan Technology was bluffing, but... what if it was true? If there really was a project comparable to Himalayan Radio, if they missed it, they would really regret it until their thighs broke.
"Feiyan Technology's hardware business is currently developing automotive-grade radios, speakers, and other equipment. In addition, it is cooperating with Dongling High-Tech headquarters on several projects. There is no need to worry about revenue. Feiyan Technology cannot guarantee how much it will grow, but it can guarantee that before listing, revenue will never fall!
In addition, on the Internet, there is indeed a plan for a new project, but not now. This needs to be kept secret, but it can be guaranteed that a new Internet project will be launched within two to three years, which will make Himalayan's business undergo a qualitative change!"
Li Dongling also drew a pie. Feiyan Technology's revenue naturally doesn't need to worry about anything. Even if the mini radio business slides, automotive radios and automotive audio equipment are unknown, but Dongling High-Tech handed over part of the electronic dictionary, repeater business, and even the OEM business of Xiaolingtong to Feiyan Technology.
It's enough for Feiyan Technology to eat until it's full. The performance report is simply not to be too bright. Even if the performance increases three to five times in a single quarter, it's not impossible. Anyway, it's left hand to right hand...
As for Himalaya launching a paid genuine music platform like iTunes and Spotify, it has to wait for the right time, wait until several major record groups are beaten to the ground by pirated music platforms, and then Himalayan Radio and the MP3 under Dongling High-Tech can appear as saviors and clean up the mess of the American record industry!
"Citibank is willing to invest, however, we also have a requirement..."
While Mo Mo Lizi was still struggling, Dixon had already opened his mouth, "Citibank is willing to acquire 10% of Feiyan Technology's equity at a price of 150 million dollars, but we require that in the future, if Dongling High-Tech's next new project needs financing, Citibank has the priority investment right!"
What Citibank values is not just a Feiyan Technology, but Dongling High-Tech!
Himalayan Radio and Feiyan Technology are golden eggs, but Dongling High-Tech is the one that will lay golden eggs. Citibank wants to invest in Dongling High-Tech. This heavy investment in Feiyan Technology is also to establish a relationship with Dongling High-Tech.
Li Dongling looked at Dixon for a few times and laughed, "There will be opportunities!"
Hearing that Dixon actually agreed to such an outrageous high-price financing for Feiyan Technology, Mo Mo Lizi felt helpless, but at this time, another "straw" was pressed down.
"Netscape is also willing to acquire 5% of Feiyan Technology's equity, but it needs to be completed in the form of stock!"
Jim Clark also opened his mouth at this time. According to Feiyan Technology's current valuation of 1.5 billion dollars, acquiring this 5% equity costs 75 million.
It's not cheap, but with the current popularity of Himalayan Radio, as long as you get its equity, Netscape's stock price can definitely be pulled up by a large wave, and it will definitely not lose money.
Furthermore, Netscape doesn't have much cash, but it is a listed company and can issue new shares. This is also the routine that many companies dare to play snake swallowing elephant. If you want to acquire which company, just issue new shares. Anyway, leeks pay for it.
And the bigger the play, the more shares issued, the more leeks are willing to pay for it. How did America's WorldCom become a giant company? It is by constantly issuing new shares and then taking one competitor after another into its pocket. In a few years, it acquired dozens or hundreds of telecom companies, and its market value exceeded 200 billion dollars. Leeks scrambled to pay for each issue of shares, and even complained that the shares issued by WorldCom were too few.
Well, in the previous life, LeTV also played like this, and after issuing new shares, the stock price rose continuously. However, after LeTV issued new shares, Boss Jia put the money into his own pocket, which led to a direct collapse...
"Deal!"
Li Dongling nodded at Jim Clark. Netscape is still the browser boss now, and its stock is still hard currency, equivalent to dollars. After getting it, it can basically be cashed out into dollars.
But it's only this year or two. Later, when Microsoft started playing hooligan, Netscape's browser was beaten back step by step, and the stock was not worth money. Feiyan Technology got Netscape's stock, and it must be cashed out in this year or two.
Now, Yahoo, Citibank, and Netscape have all reached an agreement with Feiyan Technology, leaving only Sequoia Investment. The eyes of Li Dongling, Yao Luoying, Larson, Lu Kui, and others all looked at Mo Mo Lizi.
Taking a deep breath, Mo Mo Lizi couldn't help complaining, "Damn it, this is the largest investment Sequoia Investment has made in the Internet industry so far. If it fails, I will be driven out of the position of Sequoia Investment partner!"
After scolding a few more times, Mo Mo Lizi finally made up his mind, "You won, Li, I hope this is not a decision to regret!"
"You will definitely not regret it, Mr. Mo Mo Lizi!"
Li Dongling responded with a smile, and then fierce applause rang out in the conference room. The staff of the Himalayan office outside the conference room couldn't help but show joy on their faces. They knew clearly what this round of applause meant, and they were one step closer to the million-dollar net worth!
Larson and the legal staff began to formulate the contract. Sequoia Investment and Citibank took out such a large sum of money. In order not to lose money, let alone Feiyan Technology, even if it is a piece of shit, they have to bite their teeth and send it to NASDAQ. Otherwise, they will lose money to their grandmother's house.
"Feiyan Technology must complete listing this year!"
Li Dongling said this mainly to Mo Mo Lizi and Dixon. The two of them, one representing the Silicon Valley venture capital industry and the other representing Huaerjie, if they can't send Feiyan Technology to listing after working together, it would be a bit unreasonable.
"Public relations and lobbying, Sequoia Investment will handle it, NASDAQ Securities Commission..."
Mo Mo Lizi said, looking at Dixon's direction. Dixon heard the words and also directly took it over, "NASDAQ Securities Review Committee, Citibank will handle it!"
"Before Feiyan Technology is listed, it must be ensured that the performance will not have accidents. Himalayan Radio's Internet business, users, clicks, visits, revenue, etc., must also be improved!"
Mo Mo Lizi explained to Feiyan Technology's side. How to operate a company listing, Sequoia Investment is simply too familiar. In these years, there are no two hundred companies operated by Sequoia Investment to list, and there are nearly seventy or eighty. This experience is too sufficient.
……
"According to Yahoo website news, the technology company from Asia, Himalayan Radio's parent company Feiyan Technology, completed financing of 375 million dollars, setting the largest financing record in global Internet history!"
In the past, it was traditional media that reported the news first, but this time, it was Yahoo that reported it first, and after it was reprinted and reported by California Television, the news began to spread wildly in America.
