Investment Life

Just half a month ago, a long-awaited investment by Chen Yuanming finally bore fruit. On August 8, Netscape went public on NASDAQ.

Unlike previous investment bank expectations, Netscape’s stock price did not stay at a flat price of $10 this time, but opened at a high of $28, once climbed to $71 per share, and finally closed at $58, and 500 million shares were sold. It was sold out, and the increase reached more than 100% in one day.

This unprecedented record caused an uproar on Wall Street.You must know that the Internet was in the pioneering era, and no one has yet figured out a way to make money with it. Even the foresighted Chen Yuanming, whose icq, il, Yahoo and other websites are in the debt stage of pure expenditure, and the profit is in a long period of time. Time is delusional.Therefore, not to mention Wall Street, which is mercenary for profit, even Sand Hill Road in Silicon Valley, which is famous for its insight, does not pay much attention to Internet companies.

However, Netscape, a simple browser software company, became popular in such a way that the Internet instantly entered the public's attention, and Chen Yuanming embarked on a journey to the United States again.

As a result of participating in the second round of financing of Netscape, Yuanyang also obtained more than 8 times the profit in this listing.But Chen Yuanming's plan is far from that.On the day of Netscape's listing, Yuanyang bought a large number of Netscape stocks uncharacteristically, and converted some of its preferred shares into common shares. In just a few days, Yuanyang became the third largest shareholder of Netscape.

You must know that it is not easy to snatch these from Wall Street, and thanks to these bloodthirsty creatures, they are still watching the nascent Internet with cold eyes and have not yet bared their fangs.When Yahoo appears like a supernova and words like clicks, traffic, and concepts become popular on Shashan Road, it may be difficult to snatch them away.

It was this time gap that Chen Yuanming wanted to fight. After completing this series of acquisitions, he conducted several rounds of negotiations with the two founders of Netscape, and finally succeeded in merging the newly born il into Netscape, and In the login interface of icq, the association of nee browser is expanded.

Now il is just a newborn baby, both in terms of technical strength and the number of users are too small to be ignored, but the meaning of the concept of free mailbox in later generations is known to everyone.Netscape's nee browser is precisely the browser with the highest market share in the United States. This alone has brought countless new users to il.

ICQ is just the opposite. After 2 years of long-term investment, its research and development capabilities and users have reached a new height. Due to the completely free usage mode, its registered users have exceeded 300 million, and its active users have reached millions of people.Just a connection brings infinite possibilities to nee.

However, these two companies are basically controlled by Chen Yuanming alone, and they are not well-known in Silicon Valley and Wall Street. This reorganization can be said to be quiet, and it has played an unimaginable efficiency.After laying a new foundation for Netscape in one fell swoop and having the possibility of forcibly resisting the Microsoft empire in the future, Chen Yuanming immediately turned his attention to the reshuffle of the DVD industry.

Half a year after the birth of the DVD standard, Hollywood giants finally sat down and began to divide the cake on their plates, using the same old word as the old word: region code.

The anti-theft mode provided by Feiyan is tailor-made for this group of Jews. It is only natural for them to accept it and quickly wield it as a weapon.But the process of this negotiation is still frightening. In front of the giant film groups in the United States, Europe, and Japan, the film industry of any other country is insignificant. Even if Feiyan occupies a large enough market in China, it still cannot become Instead of the existence of film companies, in terms of cultural dissemination, China, which has just opened its doors, has almost no place in the Western world.

But it is a little different from the previous life, this time in the area code, Feiyan has an ally: News Corporation.China, which was originally kicked to the 6th district, was saved by a data from the Eagle's Nest Alliance. In the past year, Fox has sold more than 20 movies and 3 TV series VCDs in the Chinese market, each of which has earned more than one million yuan. sales, and at this time the popularity of vcd in China was only a short one and a half years.

China has a population of more than 10 billion, and the sales volume of VCD players is increasing by more than 500 million units per year. If this market can ensure the rights and interests of genuine products, then it will be a huge cake that no company can ignore.

What ideology and international relations are obviously not important to these vampires.On this point, the U.S. government is rarely on the side of the film industry group. No one is more capable of using color revolution tricks than them, and no one is more eager than them to use ideology to change this red China.

In such a complicated situation, China's area code has taken three major steps forward, becoming the red No. 3 area, while Southeast Asia, which originally occupied the position of the 3rd area, has no choice but to be reduced to the 4th area.And Japan, which failed in the last region code war, also abandoned Taiwan and Hong Kong, and entered Region 2 by itself. China, finally joined the dismal 4th region group in Southeast Asia who began to face the attack and defense of piracy.

At the same time, due to Warner's betrayal, Toshiba was forced to abandon the new optical disc research and development plan, and Sony, in the predicament of being unable to overcome for a long time, turned to the research field of further expanding the capacity of DVD. It has become one of the few international standards that China participated in the formulation of.

Although the listing of dvd in China is still far away, Feiyan Group ushered in an inspiring and joyous grand celebration banquet.From the start in 93 to the final decision in 95, how many shocking whirlpools and traps have been experienced in the process, and now this step has finally come to fruition, how can we not be happy.In the next stage, the video disc industry will enter a more complicated game between countries, which is beyond the control of Feiyan and a group.

After dealing with these two major events, Chen Yuanming originally planned to stay in the United States for a while to pay attention to the transfer of CD production lines to China, but a sudden message interrupted his arrangement. Tang Hao, the head of Yuanyang Fund in Beijing, brought back According to the news, the Junteng company under Xiao Junyi wanted to conduct a round of financing, so they approached Yuanyang directly.

Listening to Tang Hao's elated description and his goodness to Jun Teng's future, Chen Yuanming's feeling is really hard to describe in words.Since there is no mobile phone network in his hometown, it is not convenient to make phone calls at home. After coming to the United States, he plunged into work. One month after he left Beijing, this was the first time he heard about Xiao Junyi. Think of it in such a way.

After hesitating for a long time, Chen Yuanming finally dialed the number.Due to the time difference, it was still daytime in China. Amidst the noise, the other party answered the phone.

"You are finally willing to call." The voice in the receiver was laughing, and there was a hint of hoarseness from overuse. "Why, have you heard from Xiao Tang?"

Sighing insignificantly, Chen Yuanming asked back, "Is there a problem with Jun Teng's capital chain?"

"It's so tight...you don't know how much money you need to invest in research and development, and the office building has opened another phase. The bank loan is almost bottoming out, and you just need the help of local tyrants." It sounds serious, but the tone of the speaker is completely opposite .

"Exchanging US$800 million for 20% of Jun Teng's shares, don't you think the asking price is too low?" Chen Yuanming did not answer directly, but asked the most critical question.

"Actually, if possible, I would like to exchange 20% of Junteng's or Yuanyang's 2%. Will you agree?"

Chen Yuanming raised his eyebrows, "That's a loss-making business for me."

"So I can only agree with my body, Boss Chen, are you willing to take it?"

It may be that he walked to some secluded place, the noise on the phone suddenly disappeared, leaving only the slightly teasing voice.Even half a world away, it's not hard to imagine how the person on the opposite side curved his peach blossom eyes and burst into a harmonious smile.

Chen Yuanming couldn't help laughing either.After a few seconds, he nodded slightly. "Okay, Jun Teng is a good company, I can accept this kind of investment."

"Isn't it sweet?" There was an undisguised joy in the voice on the other side.

Chen Yuanming's hand holding the phone couldn't help but move closer to his ear, "That depends on the gold content of the income. Risks in venture capital will always exist."

"I think it's hard to find the word failure in your dictionary." With a chuckle, the other party suddenly changed the subject, "You know that the 6th of this month is my birthday, right?"

It has been about 10 days, Chen Yuanming couldn't help but hesitate, "...now I know."

"Then when are you going back home?"

The other party's voice was unhurried, but it scratched the soft flesh in his heart like a feather.After hesitating for a moment, Chen Yuanming sighed.

"It will be as soon as possible."

"wait for your news……"

……

Just for this phone call, Chen Yuanming left behind many matters in the United States and rushed back to China. Thinking about it carefully, it really felt like a feudal lord and a thousand dollars for a laugh.But when he returned to Beijing, he learned that Xiao Junyi had just left for a business trip.After some consideration, Chen Yuanming did not stay in Beijing to wait for him after all, but returned to his hometown and inspected his own mine.

Just like any prisoner who is about to serve his sentence, Chen Yuanming is also worried about the future after taking this step.Like a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder, he chose to come to this land of green mountains and green waters to observe the magnificent scene of the blueprint in his hands being realized step by step, and this was extremely effective in calming his anxiety.

It's just that after inspecting the mine and fully enjoying the green mountains and green waters, on the way back to the county, a Humvee stopped him carelessly.The car was his favorite model, and so was the young man sitting in the driver's seat.The man leisurely took off the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, showing a big smile.

"Meet an old friend in a foreign land...Chen Dong, there is a good farm food not far ahead, would you like to appreciate it?"

Chen Yuanming stared at him for a while, and finally shook his head with a light smile, "It's time for me to do my best as a landlord..."
