Chapter 540: The Wind Blows to Southeast Asia

Li Dongling, who was originally still a bit sleepy, instantly woke up listening to these tiger-wolf questions.

Li Dongling naturally knows the mystery of communication studies. When a thing is passed through the mouths of three people, it completely changes its taste.

But he didn't expect it to be so outrageous. What is called him bringing back an investment project of 3 billion US dollars? That is the news released by Microsoft. The four major hardware projects cooperated with Dongling High-Tech have an estimated investment of 3 billion US dollars in the early stage, but the big head is the game console project. Dongling High-Tech cannot get all this money.

But domestic media don't care about this. When they saw overseas media reporting that Microsoft took out 3 billion US dollars in R&D funds, they all began to promote it overwhelmingly, saying that Li Dongling had obtained an investment project of 3 billion US dollars from overseas this time!

At present, investment promotion bureaus in various parts of the country are eager to move. That is 3 billion US dollars! In this era when the country attaches great importance to foreign exchange, if this investment can really land, it will be a super large project even if it is placed in big cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou.

3 billion US dollars, converted into 24 billion yuan, is equivalent to completing the investment promotion indicators of the local investment promotion bureau for three or even five years!

"The project cooperated with Microsoft is still in the negotiation stage. How much US dollars Microsoft is willing to invest in the game console project has nothing to do with Dongling High-Tech!" Li Dongling clarified.

But facing Li Dongling's clarification, this group of media didn't buy it at all. A reporter immediately asked Li Dongling, "Then is the one cooperating with Microsoft Dongling High-Tech?"

Li Dongling couldn't refute this point. And seeing Li Dongling nod, this group of reporters had an expression of "knowing it in their hearts," which made Li Dongling helpless.

For these reporters, since it is a cooperation between Dongling High-Tech and Microsoft, can Dongling High-Tech not get this fund? Isn't it Dongling High-Tech that decides where Microsoft's game console production project settles in the country?

Afterward, a crowd of media and reporters, various questions like a string of firecrackers, attacked Li Dongling and Yao Luoying.

It was really that the various news brought back by Li Dongling's trip to America this time was too shocking.

"Did Feiyan Technology get a financing of 370 million US dollars?"

"Did Feiyan Technology really apply for listing on Nasdaq with a valuation of 1.5 billion US dollars?"

Facing the questions about Feiyan Technology that were constantly raised, Yao Luoying had to say, "Feiyan Technology has indeed completed financing. Currently, the Nasdaq Securities Review Committee has passed Feiyan Technology's listing application!"

"Wow!"

Hearing that Feiyan Technology's Nasdaq listing application had been passed, and as long as they waited until the end of the year, they could become the first company in the country to go public on Nasdaq, the media and reporters present were all in an uproar.

Some reporters heard this news and hurriedly turned around and left, preparing to return to the newspaper or TV station first to grab the news and report it.

And facing other questions like how much money Li Dongling made on Yahoo, and which company Li Dongling thinks will be the next Yahoo, there were even more. Li Dongling couldn't answer them all.

Under the escort of Yang Zhi Gao and several bodyguards, as well as personnel who rushed over to maintain order at the airport, just as Li Dongling was preparing to leave, he heard a voice with a Cantonese accent ask.

"Mr. Li, do you think there will be another Netscape or Yahoo born in the internet in the future?"

"Will Zhixing Foundation invest in other internet companies?"

Li Dongling looked at the reporter who asked the question, but saw that it was a reporter from TVB in Hong Kong. He asked this question, clearly not only curious about Hong Kong media, but also those investors in Hong Kong who were looking forward to getting answers from Li Dongling.

Li Dongling, who was originally prepared to leave, didn't know what he remembered, but suddenly stopped his steps and looked at the TVB reporter.

"The internet trend has just begun. In the future, there will definitely be more and more billionaire tycoons born in this industry.

Not only America, but the mainland, Hong Kong, Korea, Japan, Siam, Vietnam, Singapore, and other places will also give birth to internet trends, and Asian versions of Netscape and Yahoo will appear!"

Li Dongling said, "Not only Zhixing Foundation, in the future, Zhixing Foundation will join hands with Hong Kong's Cyberport company to invest in more internet companies.

The agency rights for the Yahoo Hong Kong brand will be held by Cyberport company to establish the Yahoo Hong Kong company, providing services for internet users in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Siam, Vietnam, and Malaysia!"

After saying this, Li Dongling and Yao Luoying left under the escort of bodyguards, preparing to rest for a while before taking a flight from Guangzhou to the provincial capital of Hanxi to return.

Now that airport in Pingyang is still under construction. If the construction is completed and the flights are increased, Li Dongling won't have to detour to the provincial capital and can return directly to Pingyang.

After Li Dongling left, the media dispersed one after another, preparing to report news related to Li Dongling. And Li Dongling's words made TVB and the Hong Kong media who rushed to Guangzhou feel somewhat imaginative.

Li Dongling definitely didn't say those words casually.

The Yahoo Japan brand was given to SoftBank, but the agency rights for the Yahoo brand in other parts of Asia were still in the hands of Zhixing Foundation.

Li Dongling plans to let Cyberport company operate the Yahoo Hong Kong brand, and then radiate to regions like Korea, Siam, Vietnam, etc. In the future, the chain internet cafe project's expansion to Southeast Asia can also be done by Cyberport.

Taking advantage of the popularity of the internet, Yahoo Hong Kong brand not only needs to be built, but also needs to radiate to regions like Korea, Siam, Vietnam, etc. In the future, the chain internet cafe project's expansion to Southeast Asia can also be done by Cyberport.

Taking advantage of the popularity of the internet, Yahoo Hong Kong company, whether it is split and listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange or listed directly by Cyberport, the market value cannot be low.

More importantly, it can use the Yahoo Hong Kong project to gather those old money in Hong Kong under the Cyberport banner!

Li Dongling plans to let Cyberport company also engage in a Hong Kong version of the Vision Fund. Although Masayoshi Son likes to launch satellites, his ability is absolutely there. Once the Vision Fund was established, it attracted a lot of US dollars from overseas investment institutions, especially the tycoons of the oil countries in the Middle East, who threw hundreds of billions of US dollars into the Vision Fund.

If Cyberport company invests in Yahoo Hong Kong company and other tech companies, it can attract those investors in Hong Kong to put their money into Cyberport, and then Cyberport will invest in the internet, electronics, chip industries, etc., in the mainland. It is better than the dividends of the domestic internet being eaten up by Americans for nothing.

However, these still need to be operated. At the very least, Cyberport company needs to earn enough revenue to attract more investors in Hong Kong to hand over their money to Cyberport for investment.

Of course, once Cyberport is firmly established in Hong Kong, it is also a good thing for Dongling High-Tech. There are countless old money with strength in Hong Kong. Dongling High-Tech has several big money-burning industries, and the two sides can just complement each other!

From the time Li Dongling arrived at Guangzhou Airport, news reports about Li Dongling appeared on many domestic TV stations, newspapers, and magazines.

The wind of the internet also began to blow more vigorously after Li Dongling returned to the country. After all, there is an example of Yahoo right before their eyes. Yahoo founder Jerry Yang is Chinese, and the one who invested in Yahoo is also Chinese, which shows that Chinese can eat this bowl of internet rice.

Not to mention Feiyan Technology, which also carries the title of internet and applied for listing with a valuation as high as 1.5 billion US dollars, it naturally stimulated countless people even more.

A large number of internet companies began to emerge in Zhongguancun. They hung up a sign, and there wasn't even a computer inside, but they dared to say they were a high-tech company, and then took their business cards to find other companies to pull investment. They talked about Yahoo on the left and Nasdaq on the right, clamoring to land on Nasdaq within a year, and like Yahoo gave Zhixing Foundation a 166-fold return...

Although they are uneven, this is the scene after an industry suddenly explodes. Everyone wants to share a piece of the pie. There are those who really do things, of course, there are those who fish in troubled waters, and there are even more pure scammers who fool people.

Not to mention Zhongguancun, even Silicon Valley in America is the same. Now there are many Americans who treat the internet as a scam and don't believe it at all.

Not only the mainland, but also in Hong Kong, there are many companies that have begun to announce their engagement in the internet. However, the most eye-catching one is still the Cyberport company after TVB reported Li Dongling's words.

Many Hong Kong investment companies and old money investors have tried to find Cyberport company, wanting to invest a sum of money in the Yahoo Hong Kong company that doesn't even have a shadow yet, wanting to make a big profit after Yahoo Hong Kong company goes public. This is the temptation of US dollars. What internet or not internet, being able to cut leeks and earn US dollars is the truth!

"Yahoo Hong Kong website, build it up as soon as possible. If there are not enough hands, you can ask the Beijing Tianya company to support a batch of hands!"

Just as Li Dongling was about to board the plane to Xiyuan, the provincial capital of Hanxi, he received a phone call from Lin Xianhui, who was in a hurry.

It was really that after the Hong Kong media reported Li Dongling's words at the airport, the phone of Lin Xianhui, the general manager of Dongling High-Tech Hong Kong company and also the manager of Cyberport company, was directly blown up.

After all, the scene after Yahoo America went public, Hong Kong people can see it. After Yahoo went public, the stock price continued to soar, and now the market value has broken through 1.5 billion US dollars, as if it will never stop rising.

In Japan, SoftBank spent 10 million US dollars to get the Yahoo Japan brand operation rights. If there is no profit to be made, why would SoftBank spend such a big price?

Now it's the turn of Yahoo Hong Kong company. How can it not make Hong Kong investors moved? Not only some investment companies, but even several tycoon families in Hong Kong also called Lin Xianhui to test the investment in the Yahoo Hong Kong project. ===== CHAPTER 541 =====

Now that it was Yahoo Hong Kong's turn, how could it not stir the hearts of Hong Kong investors? It wasn't just investment firms; even members of several major Hong Kong tycoon families were calling Lin Xianhui to probe for investment opportunities in the Yahoo Hong Kong project.
