Chapter 541: The Tree Wants to be Still, but the Wind Won't Stop

"Mr. Li, which companies' investment does the Yahoo Hong Kong project accept?"

Lin Xianhui asked Li Dongling across the phone. There are quite a few Hong Kong tycoons, but they also have camps, for example, several tycoon families that are close to England, and families that cooperate deeply with Japan.

Of course, there are also quite a few Hong Kong families that have close relations with the mainland, but in terms of strength, they are definitely not as good as those few families that were close to England in previous years.

After all, Hong Kong has been managed by the Hong Kong Governor sent by England for these years. Being close to England naturally can get support from the Governor's Office in terms of policies, funds, resources, etc.

For example, a piece of land, the British people tipped off the Hong Kong tycoon families with close relations in advance, and the latter could take down this piece of land at a cabbage price in advance. Then a few months later, news came out that this piece of land was going to be developed, which was almost a profit of ten thousand times.

Of course, being a white glove for the British, the big head must be handed over to the British, but the remaining ones also got fat.

Now there are quite a few people who want to invest in the Yahoo Hong Kong project. Lin Xianhui making this call is also to ask which Hong Kong families and companies to accept. This is actually a kind of standing in line.

Li Dongling thought for a while and said, "Don't cooperate with those Hong Kong tycoon families first. You can first pick a few small and medium-sized companies or family companies that have a good reputation in Hong Kong and are close to the mainland!"

Directly cooperating with Hong Kong tycoons can indeed get a lot of funds, but the effect is far less than establishing a typical example, which has greater influence in Hong Kong.

Just like Ning's Trading Company, it was originally just a small and medium-sized company in Hong Kong. After cooperating with Dongling High-Tech, it has now entered Hong Kong Telecom and become a new generation of tycoons in Hong Kong, which also let Hong Kong know the strength of Dongling High-Tech.

The Yahoo Hong Kong company project, choosing small and medium-sized companies in Hong Kong to cooperate, will have a more immediate effect and greater influence!

After explaining to Lin Xianhui, Li Dongling hung up the phone, boarded the plane, and rushed to the provincial capital of Hanxi.

Originally, Li Dongling didn't plan to stay in the provincial capital of Hanxi for too long and was prepared to rush back to Pingyang directly.

But in the provincial capital, several of Li Dongling's old acquaintances were sent out one after another, including Wu Yaoguo, general manager of Hanxi State Investment, Li Weimin of the Hanxi Industry Department, as well as the provincial capital city government office, provincial capital investment promotion departments, etc., all called Li Dongling one after another, wanting Li Dongling to stay in the provincial capital for a while.

Li Dongling naturally knows what this is for. The provincial capital of Hanxi must also be thinking about the so-called 3 billion US dollar investment project. If there are dates or not, hit a pole first.

The invitations from those units in the provincial capital of Hanxi, and the reasons of people like Wu Yaoguo, Li Dongling cannot give these few thin faces.

Furthermore, Dongxin Semiconductor also wants to report things to Li Dongling. After Li Dongling's plane arrives in the provincial capital of Hanxi, I am afraid he will have to stay for a day or two.

While Li Dongling was flying to the provincial capital of Hanxi, affected by Yahoo's listing, internet companies in Silicon Valley began to multiply. Every day, a large batch of new internet companies emerged, although their average survival time was less than six months.

But this was like raising venomous insects; those that could secure venture capital and survive, as long as they could hold on for a year or so, could basically get listed on the Nasdaq to harvest leeks, after which sports cars, villas, and Hollywood models would all be within reach.

Yahoo's valuation is still growing wildly. Many Huaerjie institutions, including Gao Sheng and Merrill Lynch, are negotiating with Yahoo's major shareholders, wanting to get more Yahoo equity.

There are also many Huaerjie institutions, investment banks, hedge funds, etc., that have begun to grab Yahoo stocks in the stock market. Huaerjie already has the intention of choosing Yahoo to become a representative company of the internet!

When Huaerjie institutions like Gao Sheng enter Yahoo's board of directors and the circulating Yahoo stocks are controlled by Huaerjie institutions, Yahoo will become a "dealer stock" on Huaerjie. Whether the stock price rises or falls will be decided by Huaerjie institutions. To put it bluntly, it is several major institutions on Huaerjie sitting as dealers around Yahoo. At that time, it will be the moment when Yahoo's stock price and market value soar into the sky!

Netscape, Yahoo, Himalaya Radio, ebay, and other internet companies have now become the internet companies with the highest popularity and greatest influence in America.

Several major internet companies are now running horses to enclose land, and Himalaya Radio is no exception, announcing its entry into Canada, Mexico, England, and other places.

Regardless of Zhou Hualiang's other advantages, he executes the things Li Dongling explained without any discount.

Himalaya opened stations in multiple English-speaking regions such as Canada and England in one breath, and began to recruit podcast creators for Himalaya Radio locally.

There were examples in America, such as Qiaoli Jin Si, Toni, Logan, Hainamu, Carlos, and others who had realized the "American Dream" with the help of Himalaya Radio.

After Himalaya Radio entered Canada, Britain, and other regions, it was immediately met with enthusiastic welcomes. After all, who wouldn't want to become famous overnight, move from a slum neighborhood into a big villa, gain millions of fans, and be chased by all kinds of media to reach the pinnacle of life?

In Britain, Joanne Rowling woke up in a house with a rent of six hundred pounds; as she opened her eyes, she saw her three-year-old daughter still in a deep sleep.

After getting up, Joanne Rowling followed her usual routine and went to check the mailbox first. Unsurprisingly, apart from a few dunning notices, there was nothing else. As for the letters from publishers she was longing for, there was still no news at all.

At this time, Joanne Rowling was already somewhat desperate. She had returned to Britain with her daughter after a divorce. In the still relatively conservative Britain, a divorced woman with a daughter would not receive favorable treatment in British society, but would instead be met with cold stares and indifference.

Joanne Rowling could only live on relief payments now. She wanted to find a proper job, but her circumstances simply didn't allow it; if she went out to work, there would be no one to look after her daughter.

Sitting in the cramped room, looking at the manuscript covering the table, even if she were an optimist, Joanne Rowling felt somewhat desperate at this moment.

She had been writing for six years, but no publisher was willing to publish her work. Relying on the books she wrote to support herself and her daughter—even Joanne Rowling herself was losing hope.

Distraught, Joanne Rowling had no heart to write. She picked up a newspaper at random, and after flipping through a few pages, a headline appeared before her eyes.

"Himalaya Internet Radio, which has created countless miracles in America and allowed countless podcasters to realize their American Dream, has officially landed in Britain!"

Joanne Rowling flipped through the newspaper. This report was actually a piece of advertorial, promoting Qiaoli Jin Si and others who had realized their American Dream with the help of Himalaya Radio.

Basically, the whole article was hyping Himalaya Radio, as if joining it would allow one to realize the American Dream and earn a million dollars a year.

Some people would just toss such advertorials aside, while others would see them as a straw to clutch at.

Joanne Rowling belonged to the latter. She saw the report above, and even Carlos, who played with modern poetry, could become famous with the help of Himalaya Radio.

His poetry was published by a publishing house, and he himself was invited to recite poetry at the inauguration ceremony of an American governor. The report said that Carlos's goal now was to recite his poetry at the inauguration ceremony of the American President, which would basically be the pinnacle moment for a modern poet.

If someone like Carlos who played with poetry could become famous, could the book she wrote become famous with the help of Himalaya Radio? Joanne Rowling felt as if she had grabbed a straw to clutch at.

There was no computer in the house she rented, so Joanne Rowling called a friend who had a computer installed at home, and then hurried over with her daughter in her arms.

In the evening, a piece appeared on Himalaya Radio, which had just opened its station in Britain; it was signed JK Rowling, and this book was called "Harry Potter."

According to the rules of Himalaya Internet Radio, the copyright income from poetry and books published on the platform belonged in principle to the creator, but a portion of the income belonged to the platform, including derivative copyrights, such as publishing, adaptations into movies, TV series, games, etc., all of which required giving the platform a cut.

Of course, in return, Himalaya Radio would do its best to help creators sign with publishing houses to publish these books and poems.

……

Not to mention Himalaya Radio, how many grassroots singers, writers, or famous hosts and socialites in Britain, Canada, and other places had opened Himalaya Radio podcasts.

Zhou Hualiang, on the other hand, had rushed to Santa Clara, California; Nvidia's lair was right here.

Regarding Zhou Hualiang's arrival, the three founders of Nvidia—Huang Laoban, Curtis, and Chris—were quite surprised. Nvidia's current helmsman was Huang Yidao, but the Chief Technology Officer was Curtis, and Nvidia's current graphics card research and development was basically led by Curtis.

"I am here on behalf of the Zhixing Foundation. Originally, this trip should have been made by Mr. Li Dongling in person, but there are important matters to handle in the mainland, so I have come instead!"

Zhou Hualiang was quite polite to Nvidia. After all, he would have to slash hard later; before slashing someone, his attitude had to be good—this was the only way to demonstrate his kindness!

However, upon hearing the name Zhixing Foundation, Huang Laoban, Curtis, and the others did not dare to underestimate it. Since Yahoo's IPO, the popularity of the Zhixing Foundation had soared, and it already had a touch of "legendary" color.

And Nvidia had to thank Feiyan Technology and Himalaya Radio. Since Himalaya Radio became a hit, it had driven a wave of hot sales for graphics cards, allowing Nvidia's graphics card sales to surge.

Facing Zhou Hualiang's arrival, and the fact that he had announced the big name of the Zhixing Foundation right away, Huang Laoban, Curtis, and Chris couldn't help but have all sorts of speculations in their hearts.

"So, what is the Zhixing Foundation's purpose in coming to Nvidia this time?" Huang Laoban still asked Zhou Hualiang.
