My 1999

Xu Liang took two hurried steps forward.

Offer your hands.

"Secretary Jiang, welcome, welcome."

In front of everyone, Jiang Weiguo didn't want to get too close.

A simple handshake.

"Mr. Xu, your Hongmeng company has launched a big star in the domestic technology and Internet circles this time. It has raised more than 10 billion US dollars at one time. It is unique in the world. It is amazing."

"You are overly complimentary. Hongmeng's current achievements are mainly due to the safe and stable environment provided by the country and the preferential policies given to us by the city government."

Looking at the humble young man in front of him, Jiang Weiguo felt satisfied.

Although this son-in-law's private life is a bit messy, his business talents are definitely among the best in the country, and even in the world.

Especially when the report on Hongmeng’s Series B financing came out, not only was he shocked, but the elders were also a little unbelievable.

This alone raised more than 10 billion dollars, still in US dollars.

It is almost the same as the total amount of investment in the country.

This time also allowed Hongmeng to truly enter the field of vision of the elders.

"Welcome to attend our Hongmeng Series B financing signing ceremony."

"Haha, Mr. Xu is really a hero in his youth. Secretary Jiang is so lucky."

Jiang Weiguo smiled. Although the identity of Xu Liang's Jiang family's son-in-law has not been officially recognized, it is not a secret.

After everyone introduced each other.

Xu Liang welcomed the two big guys into the signing hall.

In addition to official people, there are also major institutions involved in this financing, representatives of Hongmeng's main partners, company executives, employee representatives, etc.

After arranging Jiang Weiguo and others to sit down, Xu Liang also took the opportunity to sit in the first row below.

Seeing that it was almost time, Lu Hui walked up with the painting tube.

"Hello everyone, I am Lu Hui, the administrative director of the President's Office of Hongmeng Company. On behalf of Mr. Xu and all employees of Hongmeng Company, I welcome guests from all walks of life to attend the Hongmeng Company's Series B financing signing ceremony. Welcome to you."

Wow….

Loud applause broke out.

After the applause died down.

“Our Hongmeng company was established on March 20, 2000, and has been in development for nearly four years.

In just four years, Hongmeng has transformed from a small gaming company into a company that focuses on Internet search and pan-entertainment, supplemented by e-commerce, portals, Internet cafes and other businesses, with nearly 20,000 employees. , a world-class technology company with annual revenue of nearly 50 billion Chinese dollars. "

While talking, a carefully edited promotional video by Hongmeng Company appeared on the rear projection screen.

"Today, Hongmeng Company occupies 49% of the world's Internet search market share; it has surpassed Nintendo to become the world's number one game company, and its games such as "Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne" and "Legend" are popular around the world.

Yihaodian became the largest e-commerce website in the country.

Hongmeng Internet Cafe has become the largest Internet cafe chain in Southeast Asia and so on.

In four years, Hongmeng, under the leadership of Mr. Xu and the command of Mr. Xie, created an amazing miracle.

The result of this miracle is that Hongmeng has become the world's largest Internet company with a valuation of US$53.5 billion. "

Along with the exclamations from the audience, thunderous applause broke out.

It will take a long time to rest.

"Now, we invite Mr. Xu Liang, the founder of Hongmeng Company, to take the stage."

The moment Xu Liang stood up, all the eyes of the audience were focused on him.

With rich experience, he walked onto the podium calmly.

Taking the painting tube from Lu Hui's hand, she looked at the curious and scrutinizing faces in the audience and the cameras lined up in the distance, with a confident smile on her face.

“I don’t need to elaborate on Hongmeng’s success. I came here to describe Hongmeng’s future.”

After a pause.

“After the results of this financing came out, many people asked me, how could Hongmeng get a valuation of US$53.5 billion, and how many bubbles are there?

I want to say that Hongmeng’s valuation is not watery at all.

Why?

Because our Series B financing has gathered the world's top investment institutions and financial institutions, including Merrill Lynch, Citigroup, and HSBC.

They used the smartest minds in the world to visit Hongmeng for half a month, read our financial information and development reports dozens of times, and then gave Hongmeng’s current valuation.

I, Xu Liang, am not a god, and I cannot persuade so many top institutions to invest in a company with no future.

In fact, I think Hongmeng’s valuation is still on the low side, but it just barely meets my psychological expectations.

In my mind, Hongmeng’s valuation should not be US$53.5 billion, but US$60 billion or even US$70 billion.

Because Hongmeng is growing at a rate of more than ten times every year, our net revenue and net profit far exceed those of Yahoo and Amazon.

I can tell you that within five years at most, Hongmeng’s market value will exceed US$100 billion and become the world’s largest Internet company.

Everyone who invests in Hongmeng will receive generous returns!

Please wait and see. "

Seeing the suspicious eyes in the audience, Xu Liang didn't explain much.

He can be sure that after the signing ceremony is over, his words will set off a new wave in the global business community.

After all, these days, only a few top companies, including Walmart, Exxon Mobil, and Microsoft, have a market value of more than 100 billion U.S. dollars.

Internet companies, namely Yahoo, have achieved this achievement before, but this was before the Nasdaq crisis.

Although Hongmeng is developing well, its market value exceeding 100 billion seems too far away.

"Okay, all investment institutions are invited to come to the stage to sign contracts."

Following Xu Liang's words, representatives from Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, JPMorgan DA, and other institutions came to the stage.

The main body of Hongmeng’s Series B financing is not Hongmeng Technology Company, but Hongmeng Science and Technology Alliance Company.

This alliance company registered in Xiangjiang is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hongmeng Corporation. Bing, Yihaodian, Sina and other businesses, as well as Hongmeng International Company, are all within this company.

The share structure after the financing is completed is that Hongmeng Corporation holds 80% of the shares, of which 15% is the option pool.

Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan and Citigroup each account for 4%, SoftBank accounts for 2%, and HSBC, Deutsche, Waterfall Investments, Li Jiacheng Foundation, Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, and Merrill Lynch each account for 1%.

After equity penetration.

Hongmeng Corporation, or Xu Liang's shareholding in Hongmeng International Company has become 51.5%, and it still firmly holds the controlling stake.

If the option pool is included, the control will be even greater.

Except for the obvious conditions.

As the main investors in Series B financing, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan and Citigroup will help Hongmeng acquire MGM and underwrite Hongmeng's US$5 billion, five-year corporate bonds with an interest rate of 5.2%.

The reason SoftBank got 2% was because it helped Hongmeng acquire Bandai.

All benefits are conditional.

Lu Hui and the people from the President's Office took out the contracts prepared in advance and distributed them to representatives of ten organizations.

In fact, signing a contract is just a formality, and the real contract has been signed long ago.

The rest of the interview session was left to Xie Wen.

After the interview, there was a luncheon arranged.

Jiang Weiguo also stayed to participate.

In order to facilitate communication, a buffet format is used.

"Your career is getting bigger and bigger now. If I hadn't been two steps ahead, I might not have been able to get to you." Jiang Weiguo said with a smile.

He had been wanting to chat with Xu Liang just now, but he was surrounded by representatives from top banks and financial institutions such as Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, and HSBC.

At the same time, it also made him understand the status of his prospective son-in-law in the international business and financial circles.

"You flatter me too much. If you could speak English, I'm afraid they would have crowded around you long ago, and the crowd would be swamped."

"Okay, stop being modest. You, Boss Xu, have already shouted out that Hongmeng's market value will exceed 100 billion US dollars in five years, and you are still hiding it?"

Xu Liang smiled and said: "It's just a small goal."

"Small goal? One hundred billion US dollars or a small goal?! How much is big in your mind?"

Trillions of dollars, of course.

Twenty years later, the top Internet companies will basically exceed one trillion yuan.

Xu Liang is confident that he can bring Hongmeng to this level.

However, this is still too far away and unrealistic.

"You are still young, so it is better to be down-to-earth." Jiang Weiguo taught earnestly.

In his opinion, Xu Liang has gone too smoothly in the past few years. In just a few years, he has completed a journey that others would never complete in a lifetime. Although he has made amazing achievements and received huge praise.

But after the fire cooks the oil and the flowers bloom, it is often the beginning of decline.

So the more times like this, the more we should be cautious and work hard.

Xu Liang nodded with a smile and did not argue with Jiang Weiguo.

The principles are all correct, but I have traveled through time.

Hongmeng's most difficult initial stage has passed. Now that the foundation has been laid, coupled with the abundant funds from financing, as long as it continues to develop step by step, Hongmeng will become the world's top Internet company in the PC stage.

During the mobile phase, he is also actively preparing.

As long as the Hongmeng mobile operating system comes out, it can follow the path of Google and rely on its free strategy to conquer the global smartphone market.

Therefore, as long as he doesn't make any mistakes, it is absolutely certain that Hongmeng's market value will exceed 100 billion US dollars.

If it exceeds one trillion, he still needs to work hard.

Seeing someone else coming over with a wine glass, Jiang Weiguo didn't talk much.

"If you are free in the evening, come to my house. I will ask your aunt to make dumplings, and we will have a good chat."

"Um."
