Chapter 511: Boiling Frogs in Warm Water
As the female head of Feiyan Technology, Yao Luoying led Feiyan Technology to complete the listing, not to mention inland, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore and other places. In America, that is also the ceiling level for female professional managers.
Moreover, Yao Luoying has seen some of Li Dongling’s plans for the future of Feiyan Technology and Himalaya. In the next few years, Feiyan Technology and Himalaya website will definitely continue to transform, which will cost more. You may even have no time to care about anything else.
Everyone has different choices in life, and different choices will lead to different endings.
Yao Luoying is not the type of professional madman. She does not want to waste all her energy and time on this.
In addition, Yao Luoying is self-aware. In the future, Feiyan Technology and Himalayan Radio will expand rapidly. She is currently in charge of Feiyan Technology, which is somewhat inadequate, let alone the Feiyan Technology that continues to expand. There is no way to quit. On the contrary, it is the best choice!
"As you wish, Queen of the Internet!"
Li Dongling smiled and pinched the bridge of Yao Luoying's nose. When Yao Luoying heard this title, she was dumbfounded and gave Li Dongling a blank look.
Queen of the Internet, this is the new title "Barron's" reported for Yao Luoying. Because looking at Silicon Valley, there are no female leaders at all, and Yao Luoying is particularly eye-catching.
This Internet Queen’s crown belonged to Morgan analyst Mary Meeker, Google’s Sheryl Sandberg and others in her previous life, but now it is worn on Yao Luoying’s head, and she is also The media crowned her as the first generation Internet Queen!
After all, Himalaya Radio is now the leader in the Internet industry. Feiyan Technology is listed as an Internet company. With its identity and performance, Yao Luoying wears the crown of Internet Queen, so what can't she do?
Yao Luoying was rinsing in the bathroom of the villa, while Li Dongling took out several Feiyan Technology documents and read them. This time when he came to America, he mainly did three things. The first thing was to serve Feiyan. Technology finds backers and then sends it to market!
This matter is probably completed. As long as Feiyan Technology itself does not undergo major changes, with the support of Sequoia Investment and Citigroup, listing on the Nasdaq is a certainty.
In this financing, Feiyan Technology gave up a total of 28% of its equity to Citi, Sequoia Investments, Netscape, and Yahoo. The remaining equity of Feiyan Technology directly held by Donglin Hi-Tech is 40%. %!
But of this 40% equity, part of the equity must be publicly issued, and another part must be handed over to Cyberport, and then a piece of meat will be given to domestic companies such as Hanxi State Investment. After the final listing, the equity in the hands of Tanglin Hi-Tech Feiyan Technology’s equity is estimated to be around 22%.
It seems that the equity of Feiyan Technology has been dispersed a bit, but after the listing, Donglin Hi-Tech is still the largest shareholder of Feiyan Technology.
In addition, Yao Luoying, Ren Yuefeng and other senior executives of Tanglin Hi-Tech who hold shares in Feiyan Technology, including Cyberport, have also given their voting rights to Tanglin Hi-Tech, without having to Worry about the loss of power.
For the transferred equity, Feiyan Technology is basically equivalent to establishing a set of interest alliances in America. In the future, Sequoia Investments, Citigroup, Yahoo, Netscape, etc. will all stand on Feiyan Technology Here, when someone targets Feiyan Technology, they will definitely wave their flags and shout.
Short-selling institutions like Muddy Waters, who want to short Feiyan Technology, must first consider whether their teeth are in good condition, otherwise, it is very likely that their teeth will fall apart without taking a bite of meat. Got it!
Furthermore, the equity of Feiyan Technology has been dispersed to Tanglin Hi-Tech, Cyberport, and Zhixing Foundation. It is a bit more convenient to cash out, and it does not need to be so eye-catching, so that Tanglin Hi-Tech will not be able to cash out at the beginning. All the leeks ran away. Instead, they used companies such as Cyberport to cash out like Wenshu boiled frogs, so it was not easy to scare away the leeks...
However, Feiyan Technology cannot sit back and relax completely. There are many challengers in terms of hardware and software. Feiyan Technology is now being studied under the microscope by many companies. If it rests on its laurels, Feiyan Technology will be replaced sooner or later.
Next, Feiyan Technology’s hardware business, the mini radio business, must continue to be maintained. The volume of this thing will become smaller and smaller, but its functions will become more and more powerful. Although it is a sunset industry, it will last for more than ten or twenty years. A few years, but there is no problem.
While stabilizing mini radios and multi-functional emergency radios, we must also launch car-grade radios, audio equipment, etc. as soon as possible to enter the huge market of car audio equipment. In the future, the global automotive industry will basically maintain a two-level After thirty years of growth, as long as we can gain a firm foothold in this industry, it will not be a problem to reap dividends for more than ten years.
In terms of hardware, Feiyan Technology’s future plan is to handle the two major businesses of mini radios and car audio equipment. In terms of software, it is Internet radio and future music platforms!
As long as the hardware and software business can be successful, Feiyan Technology will basically take shape, and there will not be much changes in the future. It can reap the dividends of the automobile industry and the Internet music platform. The days of Feiyan Technology will be It's impossible to have such a bad life.
From now on, it shouldn't be a problem to cut leeks in Nasdaq for more than ten years, but to create profits for investors in ten or twenty years!
Putting down the materials in his hands, Li Dongling rubbed his cheeks. After arriving in America, Li Dongling was actually tensed, and he could finally relax a little.
Except for the matter of Feiyan Technology, the other two matters are also in progress, and there are already some clues. After Li Dongling has dealt with these matters, he will participate in Yahoo's listing at the end of the month. At the beginning of next month, it will be Returned to China.
It has been several months since Li Dongling made this trip. There are still a lot of things in the country that are waiting for Li Dongling to deal with, and it is not only the internal affairs of Dongling Hi-Tech, but also the internal affairs of Torch Group and other companies. No matter how small it is, Li Dongling needs to make a decision!
Besides Feiyan Technology, the second thing I did when I came to America was to recruit a leader for the upcoming chip production base of Dongxin Semiconductor.
The third thing is also related to Dongxin Semiconductor. The MIPS architecture chips developed by Dongxin Semiconductor require the support of Microsoft systems. Li Dongling hopes that Microsoft can also establish an alliance with Dongxin Semiconductor's chips!
Only in this way can computers equipped with Dongxin Semiconductor chips avoid being entrenched in the domestic market and enter overseas markets. Only if enough people use computers equipped with Dongxin chips can this chip survive Get down!
In the past life, after the first domestic computer chip Loongson was developed, it was a "backup" for a long time. That is, whenever there are domestic companies and projects that need to use the chip, if not I really have no choice but to choose to use Loongson.
A large part of the reason for this is that the Microsoft system is not compatible with the Dragon chip, which means that various software does not support this chip.
Until the domestic operating system appears, regardless of whether the domestic computer operating system is easy to use or not, at least with this chip, life will be easier. Li Dongling also knows that he really hopes to survive by relying on companies such as Microsoft. With America's habit of backstabbing, he will definitely fall out at some point.
But in the short term, Dongxin Semiconductor needs the support of Microsoft. It can only make plans if it survives first. As long as Dongxin Semiconductor can gain a foothold in the chip and computer industries, it can secretly join forces with Kingsoft to develop research and development. own operating system.
One day Microsoft falls out with Dongxin Semiconductor, then Donglin Hi-Tech will just launch its own operating system and compete with it, but that will probably be more than ten years later.
It’s just that you need to be on guard against others. There is nothing wrong with making early plans, just like Haisi who was raised in a chrysanthemum factory. After a few years, he finally turned around and became the main palace!
Of course, what Li Dongling needs to consider now is how to win over Microsoft's support. Expecting Microsoft to develop an operating system that supports the Dongxin Semiconductor chip version will probably cost a lot of money!
...
On a business plane flying to New York, Li Dongling, Yao Luoying, Zhou Hualiang, Larson and others were all in the cabin.
This business aircraft was chartered by Zhou Hualiang. Several flight attendants on the crew were walking through the cabin like butterflies. For the customers who rented the aircraft this time, several flight attendants wanted to give their own Show your charm.
Users who can charter flights are generally worth a lot. Especially this time, the crew heard that there are big financiers among the customers.
For several flight attendants who are tall and attractive in appearance, they naturally do not want to miss the opportunity to meet the big benefactor.
The cabin crew of America Airlines is completely different from other airlines around the world. Many aunts work there, and there are even flight attendants who have been on the crew for thirty or forty years.
Sometimes on American Airlines, I see middle-aged aunts and uncles on staff. They may not be retired, but newly recruited flight attendants and stewardesses. Many of them are police officers. Police, firefighters, nurses and even teachers are recruited into airlines after retirement or unemployment.
As for why this is so, it is of course for the sake of cheapness. America is a country of airplanes, with a high proportion of air travel. Moreover, most Americans fly in economy class, not all Everyone can fly first class.
For America Airlines, what they want to do is to desperately reduce costs, especially for flights that are mainly economy class. The profit they make is actually the passenger flow, the more people are crammed into the cabin. The better, and the lower the cabin crew are paid, the better.
So, is it more expensive to hire a retired or unemployed middle-aged employee, or is it more expensive to hire a young flight attendant in her twenties with outstanding looks and a tall figure? Which of the two has a more stable job? There is no doubt that it is. He is the first person who is willing to work as a cowboy for an airline for the sake of his family and children...
And many young and beautiful flight attendants choose to come to the crew of business aircraft. These business aircraft are mainly large customers and are worth a lot of money. They are also willing to pay for the services of these young flight attendants. After all, people who spend a lot of money on mobile phones are probably No one wants to see an aunty stewardess serving them.
For young flight attendants on business jets, it is of course the best if they can get to know a big financial sponsor, become boyfriend and girlfriend, or even join a wealthy family. Even if they don’t marry into a wealthy family, they can have a date, and then I'm willing to pay a large breakup fee.
Larsson, who was pretending to read a magazine, saw a stewardess wearing an airline uniform that was shorter than the average stewardess walking past him again. He couldn't help but say, " Damn it, sooner or later, I will definitely buy a private jet and let these chicks join the crew. Become a stewardess!"
"Li, do you need me to operate your private plane?"
Larson put down the magazine in his hand and talked to Zhou Hualiang in a low voice. Li Dongling asked what he was talking about, and gave Li Dongling a look that any man would understand.
Li Dongling is planning to book a private jet this time, so that future travel will be more convenient. Not only Li Dongling, but also the executives of Dongling Hi-Tech will also need to use it when they need to travel urgently sometimes.
Hearing Larson's words, Li Dongling glanced at Yao Luoying on the side. He naturally knew what Larson was planning. It was nothing more than "kung fu" on the stewardess of the private jet crew. " Yao Luoying didn't seem to pay attention here, but Li Dongling saw that Yao Luoying's ears were obviously perked up.
Purchasing a private jet is expensive, but what is even more expensive is the storage costs, repairs, maintenance, insurance premiums, fuel, crew salaries, etc. after buying it. These logistics costs are equivalent to buying a private jet in a few years. A new plane.
But you still have to pay for it. If you don’t hire a whole set of professional crew members to serve this private jet, why don’t you fly it yourself? When comparing your hobby with someone else’s job, the bet is still yours. Little life!
In addition, repair and maintenance must be checked every time you travel. These steps must not be missing, otherwise you will be joking with your own life.
After spending such a large amount of money, if we don't hire a few "qualified" flight attendants to serve on private jets, the money will be wasted.
"Li, if you need it, I can take care of it. The founders and presidents of big companies in America all name their cars under the company's name!" Larson said out of "good intentions" ", said to Li Dongling.
Feiyan Technology has just received a huge amount of financing. Although, according to the agreement, this money is to be used for Feiyan Technology Company, and the major shareholders cannot take the money away and squander it.
However, if you really want to use tricks to take away this huge sum of money, there are many tricks. For example, Feiyan Technology will buy private jets, villas, etc., and then sell them to Li Dongling at the original price.
After this, it became a showy operation. After Li Dongling bought the private jet, he rented it to Feiyan Technology. All subsequent expenses were borne by Feiyan Technology, and Li Dongling had the right to use it. These private jets, villas, yachts and the like.
In the previous life, so many Internet company founders in Silicon Valley began to spend their money crazily after receiving large investments from venture capital firms. Logically speaking, those investments had usage requirements, but they were still cashed out by various tricks.
Larson's words actually hinted to Li Dongling that if Li Dongling needs it, he can take the hundreds of millions obtained by Feiyan Technology in an upright, reasonable and legal manner as permitted by the laws of the American Federation. Invest US dollars to help Li Dongling cash out.
Li Dongling smiled and shook his head, and said to Larson, "There is an old saying in the mainland, small impatience leads to big plans, greed for small profits and loss of big fortunes, Feiyan Technology is now going to be listed on the market. Heavy! ”
