Chapter 656 Pig Killing Plate
The next day, Li Dongling was awakened by the sound of a piano in the rented villa in New York.
After opening his eyes, Li Dongling felt a slight pain in his head. The dinner last night did not last very late.
After all, Li Dongling and the others are not Wall Street investment banks or the Internet upstarts in Silicon Valley. Every party lasts all night, and they also invite strippers, social butterflies, etc. The party is quite big in the middle of the night.
When Li Dongling left the banquet yesterday, many models and New York socialites at the banquet had eyes full of resentment.
After getting up and drinking a glass of water, he felt sober. Li Dongling walked downstairs. The rented villa also had a piano room, etc., and all facilities were available whether it was used or not.
In the piano room, a burst of light melody came from inside. Li Dongling was not proficient in piano, but after all, he also formed a band at Hanxi Jiaotong University. Li Dongling could still hear some basic songs. Now What Yao Luoying played was the classic "Für Elise".
Li Dongling saw Yao Luoying wearing one of his coats, sitting in front of the piano and playing. Through the large coat, the curves inside were looming.
Seeing the look on Yao Luoying's face, she looked quite relaxed. Li Dongling hadn't seen Yao Luoying's look like this for a long time. Apparently Feiyan Technology had completed its listing, and she felt relieved.
Listening to this piece of music, Li Dongling couldn't help but think of his days at Hanxi Jiaotong University. At that time, he also formed a band and worked as a guitarist. But now, Li Dongling has not touched that guitar for a long time.
"Pa bang bang"
After finishing playing her first hand, Yao Luoying saw Li Dongling standing at the door of the piano room applauding, and stood up with a smile and walked towards Li Dongling.
"We haven't talked for a long time, and now we're a little bit raw!"
"The music played by the boss with a market value of 2.1 billion is definitely the most beautiful music in the world!"
Li Dongling said with a smile, "For example, Sohu boss Zhang and Wandawang sang at the annual meeting, and Ali and Penguin boss Ma danced. Who dares to say that they can't sing or dance well."
When you can see billionaires performing on stage, what kind of bicycles do you need that can’t sing better than those stars?
Hearing Li Dongling's words, Yao Luoying chuckled. Inadvertently, the coat of Li Dongling on her body revealed her graceful figure. Following Li Dongling's gaze, Yao Luoying blushed and glanced at Li Dongling angrily.
Li Dongling pulled Yao Luoying over, picked her up by the waist and walked upstairs while Yao Luoying screamed.
……
We haven't yet entered the craze period of the Internet, but it has begun to take shape. Internet companies such as Amazon, Cognizant, Inkomi, EXCite, and 3Com are lining up to be listed on Nasdaq. A carnival is beginning. .
However, this has not yet reached its peak. In a year or two, when the Internet is at its peak, not only Nasdaq, but also Hong Kong City, Tokyo Stock Exchange, etc., as long as the company name has a com, it will be listed.
As long as you draw a pie for any stock related to the Internet, the stock price will rise sharply at that time. As long as you buy Internet stocks, it is really like "picking up money."
Of course, according to the law of conservation of energy, the money picked up in a daze will also be lost in a daze, and the loss will be even more...
After Feiyan Technology went public, the stock price continued to rise the next day. Before the major shareholders like Dongling Hi-Tech, Netscape, Yahoo, Sequoia Investments, Citigroup, etc., did not cash out, the number of Feiyan Technology stocks circulating in the market was just that The more, the more or less it will rise!
Li Dongling is now listing Feiyan Technology to take advantage of the situation in advance. More and more Internet companies will be listed in the future.
But often only the earliest ones can be remembered. The earlier they go on the market, the higher their popularity will be. When the wind blows, the higher they will fly!
In the afternoon, Li Dongling appeared on the golf course in the villa area. He and Yao Luoying were on the golf course, waving the club boredly.
Now, of course, Li Dongling has received many invitations from people from all walks of life in New York, including invitations from various companies, cocktail parties, parties, etc., but Li Dongling has declined all those invitations.
Right now, Li Dongling has more important things to do. In the future, Li Dongling will come to America less and less, but he has no interest in wrangling at those parties!
In the afternoon, Li Dongling finally arrived, Ed Fleiss, who had come from Seattle after a long journey.
"Congratulations, Li, and Ms. Yao, Feiyan Technology is listed on the market!
However, I hope that if I come here this time, there is good news to tell me! ”
As soon as he sat down, Ed Fleiss said directly that he is now the person in charge of the hardware project with Donglin Hi-Tech from Microsoft.
After all, the hardware cooperation project between Microsoft and Donglin Hi-Tech was signed by Ed Fleiss, a confidant of Bill Gates, for Microsoft. Naturally, he needs to be in charge of the hardware project. Bill Gates has always been at Microsoft. It is a business that everyone dreams of doing internally.
Previously, Li Dongling proposed to cooperate with Microsoft in the hardware business in exchange for Microsoft systems supporting Dongxin Semiconductor's chips.
The main reason why the deal was concluded was that Bill Gates was more concerned about Microsoft's hardware business. Therefore, even if he stabbed a die-hard ally, he would do it.
"Of course!" Li Dongling made an invitation gesture to Ed Fleiss, and Ed Fleiss came to the lounge of the stadium.
When Ed Fleiss entered, Zhang Bing and several engineers were already waiting there. When he saw Ed Fleiss coming in, Zhang Bing immediately started to manipulate him.
Ed Fleiss' eyes were fixed on the machine that looked very similar to a VCD.
"This is a digital video recorder we developed for stargazing. It has functions such as pausing, fast forwarding, rewinding, and skipping the previous advertisement. It is equipped with an 8GB hard drive..."
When turning on the TV and digital video recorder, Zhang Bing introduced it to Ed Fleiss, but Ed Fleiss's eyes were more on the stargazing digital video recorder.
Microsoft has made a lot of hardware over the years, but most of them are "little things", such as expansion cards, mice, keyboards, etc. However, Microsoft has suffered setbacks in the hardware field and has been jointly targeted by various computer manufacturers.
Originally, according to Microsoft's development in the hardware field in its previous life, Microsoft was able to shine when it came to the mouse.
But when it came to the Silver Sable mouse owned by Tanglin Hi-Tech, Microsoft's newly developed mouse business was beaten hard. Now Microsoft's mouse business is basically in a state of death.
If the stargazing digital video recorder in front of us can be made, it may become the first product that Microsoft has truly invested in in the hardware field!
Even though it was not made by Microsoft itself, Microsoft invested money and still owns 40% of the equity of Stargazing Digital Video Recorder. Rounding it all off, this should be considered a Microsoft hardware product...
Li Dongling could see the way Ed Fleiss looked at the stargazing digital video recorder, but he didn't say much.
After recording a program, Ed Fleiss couldn't help but asked Zhang Bing to play the recorded content on a stargazing digital video recorder.
When he saw that the stargazing digital video recorder basically played back the content of the previous program in its original proportions without much loss of picture quality, Ed Fleiss couldn't help but look happy on his face.
"I think Mr. Bill Gates will definitely like this gift from Donglin Hi-Tech. The Microsoft system department will complete the Microsoft system transplantation of Donglin Semiconductor's MIPS architecture chips as soon as possible!"
Hearing what Ed Fleiss said, Li Dongling had a smile on his face, but he couldn't help but secretly cursed Microsoft's old Yin Coin.
The co-author Microsoft is obviously on guard against Donglin Hi-tech, trying to avoid the rabbit and the hawk. If Tanglin Hi-tech doesn't show the prototype to Microsoft, Microsoft may really be able to delay the system transplantation!
"How much does this machine cost?" Ed Fleiss asked Zhang Bing.
Zhang Bing glanced at Li Dongling, and then in a serious manner, he complained to Ed Fleiss according to the original agreement.
"For this product, our innovation laboratory in Dongling High-tech Technology Department invested a lot of manpower, funds, and resources to develop the stargazing digital video recorder.
We have specially developed chips, motherboards, memory modules, etc. for this machine, and the hard drives are also purchased from the best brands.
The current cost of producing a stargazing digital video recorder is... around $280! "Zhang Bing gritted his teeth and said the price.
Zhang Bing originally felt that the price quoted was a sky-high price, but after hearing the price, he saw that Ed Fleiss only frowned but did not refute.
The production cost of a machine of US$280 is definitely high in China, but the price quoted in America is actually not too high. After all, there are so many Smith Commissioners in America, and Smith Commissioners cannot make less. no.
"Donngling Hi-Tech recommends that the retail price of the stargazing digital video recorder be US$320. The most important thing now is to put the stargazing digital video recorder on the market, increase its sales, and let users accept it. Profitability is something that needs to be considered in the future! ”
Li Dongling acted as if he was thinking about Microsoft, as if Dongling Hi-Tech was not making any money by producing stargazing digital video recorders.
Tanglin High-tech produces this thing entirely to complete the cooperation with Microsoft and do charity. One machine earns 79 US dollars. Compared with Smith, can this be called a profit? !
"What is the estimated sales volume of stargazing digital video recorders after they are put on the market?" Ed Fleiss asked the most critical question.
Li Dongling looked "difficult", "We are not sure yet. The positioning of stargazing digital video recorders is mainly for middle-class and above families in America, Canada, old Europe and other places.
They are very pursuing the taste of life, but they don't have enough time. They need this kind of product to record the programs they want to watch and watch them when they have time! ”
"In the future, the annual sales volume of stargazing digital video recorders may be in the hundreds of thousands or more than one million units. No one is sure."
Ed Fleiss thought for a while. If the annual sales of stargazing digital video recorders could reach one million units, it would be completely acceptable to Microsoft.
But just when Ed Fleiss was about to speak, Li Dongling's words made Ed Fleiss' pupils dilate a little.
"As the first hardware product to cooperate with Microsoft, in order to express sincerity, if there is demand, Tanglin Hi-Tech is willing to transfer this product to Microsoft in the future!"
If you want to lock up a person or a company, you must give enough sweetness in the early stage. Even if you kill a pig, you have to give some sweetness to the leeks...
