Chapter 318 Listing
"Brother, don't you go to Nasdaq to ring the bell?"
"No, you can go! In the next few years, many companies will go public. Ringing the bell is not that important to me."
Hill couldn't help but pursed his lips when he heard his brother's words.
Tens of thousands of Internet companies throughout Silicon Valley are waiting for approval from the Nasdaq Securities Management Committee to go public. In the eyes of those companies, this is the moment that all founders are most looking forward to.
But in his brother's words, it became the least interesting time.
"Brother, [say hello] if after this listing, our shares may be diluted to less than 10%. Do we really want to cash out after it goes public?"
Tao Xi, who was lying on the lounge chair, couldn't help but nodded while looking at the sea view not far away that could only be seen in Manhattan.
【say hello】This product will definitely not escape the fate of being eliminated in the end.
And those communication operators will not allow Tao Xi, the person who knows the most about the Internet, to continue to operate it. So far, Tao Xi has received nearly 40 resignation reports from senior executives in [say hello].
12345 Network Technology does not have the highest salary package in Silicon Valley, but because of the Internet structure and salary structure here, the company has always had room for improvement that other startups cannot match.
That's why there are still people who can take the initiative to resign.
That means that his group of shareholders can hardly sit still, and they have begun to wave their dollar bills to poach him.
The purpose is to force 12345 away after [say hello] is listed!
In any industry, if someone encounters difficulties, then everyone in the industry can work together, but if it is on the eve of harvesting the fruits of victory, this group of people will start their own internal fighting.
!
Rather than doing this, it would be better to quit early and let them run their own operations.
After all, [Say hello] is just a transition, and the patent for voice communication technology is already in his hands, and this kind of software that relies too much on the development of others to gain traffic will just be eliminated in the future.
"It's okay, it wasn't ours in the first place, and we got our reward!"
"Neal Community Hospital will also become an independent Neal Group in the future. If it weren't for these old guys, we might not be able to gain a foothold in the medical industry. We have already gained a lot!"
Tao Xi waved to his brother with an indifferent expression and closed his eyes.
Seeing his brother's appearance, Hill left the room with some confusion. When he got into the car downstairs, Li Fuzhen took the initiative and asked: "Isn't your brother going?"
Hill lay on the passenger seat, rubbed his cheek vigorously and replied, "Yes, he just rejected me."
Li Fuzhen was not surprised by Hill's answer.
"Marco came to Korea and spoke several times. He always said that Brother You's big tree is too big now. It seems that the split between Sunshine Media and Sunshine Industries has indeed made many people's nerves sensitive."
Hill nodded in approval after hearing this.
Hill can't say he knows his brother best, but after all, they have lived together for so many years, no matter how awesome his brother is now.
His true nature is that of a little person who crawled out of the sewers through his own hard work!
He still remembered that during their most difficult years, Tao Xi came back with a cake. Although he generously allowed himself and Marco to eat it together, Hill clearly remembered that Tao Xi's eyes were very unhappy.
How can a person who cares very much about others grabbing things from him while eating the cake be willing to take the initiative to give up a listed company to others?
But there is no way, the current Sunshine Industrial Group is growing too fast
A big tree attracts wind, and the "flexible employment" method recently proposed by 12345 Network Technology has really alleviated the employment pressure in the United States. Now it is not just businessmen who come to Tao Xi, but more politicians!
If the emergence of the North American Locksmiths Union has allowed Panamanian Commercial Bank to successfully treat Central America as its back garden, then 12345 Network Technology is a towering tree!
No one knows how much value this company will create in the future and how much pressure it will experience.
Fortunately, the distance between the Nasdaq Exchange and Manhattan Island is not too far. Before Hill got off the car, he saw a lot of familiar faces being interviewed by reporters from all directions.
Nasdaq has no clear restrictions on how many people can be on stage to ring the company's listing bell. The presidents or shareholders of these communication operator giants are so active in attending just to satisfy their own personal ideas!
For example, incorporating [say hello] into their own communication operator service system or incorporating something in it into their own control to increase their market value or draw a big pie for their investors!
The first time Hill got off the bus
The messy flashing lights and the paparazzi's voices around him instantly swallowed up Hill. If it weren't for the quick response of the security guard at the entrance of Nasdaq, Li Fuzhen would have been squeezed to death.
"Oh my God!"
“Journalists in America are just crazy!”
"Do you have any idea how ridiculous the question I just heard is?"
"They actually asked me about our private lives!"
Li Fuzhen hid behind Hill with a frightened look on his face. Hill almost laughed out loud when he heard these words. If it weren't for the seriousness of the occasion, he might even roll on the ground.
"Of course, we are talking about freedom of speech here!" Hill replied with a look of disdain.
Seeing Hill's expression, Li Fuzhen couldn't help but shook his head helplessly. "Taoxi" in the United States is now not just the name of a rich man, but represents a plutocrat!
Yes, they are chaebols. Many people in South Korea privately call Tosi, Marco, and Hill members of the "Tosi Family."
As for Li Fuzhen, her label as a Samsung daughter has been completely washed away. Since the two got married, several Korean media initially called them a match made in heaven!
But with Tao Xi's retirement and Hill's rise to power, more and more people are calling her the new generation of female leaders of the "Tao Xi family"!
Although Tao Xi has many women, he has never told the outside media which woman is the real one!
Hill was different. Li Fuzhen, as the woman his matchmaker was marrying, was Hill's only real wife, and Hill, a technical geek, made her particularly at ease.
As a woman in the "Taosi Family" who can now be recognized by the media, she has also learned a lot of inside information.
The term freedom of speech in the United States is basically used by the upper class in the United States. You can only say what those in power want you to say, if the content of what you say is not approved by them.
Then you are likely to be unlucky!
"Hey, Fuzhen, we are about to go in. Remember to keep smiling. I don't want some unscrupulous media to say that there is another problem in our relationship as a couple."
Li Fuzhen, who rolled his eyes, took Hill's arm and accompanied him very ladylikely, while Hill kept greeting the surrounding shareholders and media as if he wanted to be a successful person.
The news on TV was broadcasting every step of the launch of "Say Hello". The female host, wearing a black short skirt, kept leading the cameraman and some big shots to say hello.
It can be seen from the host's eyes that her ultimate interview target is the Hill couple not far away.
When Hill and the other man ended their conversation, the ABC host shouted to Hill eagerly: Mr. Hill, Mr. Hill!"
Hill glanced at his wife and nodded politely to the host.
"Hello, are you the host of ABC? Nice to meet you!"
"Mr. Hill, you are my senior, do you know? I am also very happy to meet you!"
Li Fuzhen, who was standing next to Hill, had a smile on her face. She had seen many green tea bitches like this, but she knew that these people had no attraction for Hill!
"Oh? Really, thank you!"
The host saw that Hill was indifferent to his proactive greeting. She also felt a little numb, but her good qualities still made her react.
"As the president of [say hello], how do you feel at this time today?"
"Your brother is very popular with girls, Mr. Tao Xi!"
Tao Xi took the glass of red wine that Nidalee Calvin poured for him and said politely: "Thank you!"
When Nidalee heard Tao Xi's words, she took a sip of the red wine in her glass and then joked: "I remember, aren't you supposed to be very interested in beautiful women? Don't you just say this to a beautiful woman like me?
Thank you?"
Tao Xi glanced at Nidalee Calvin, who was wearing heavy makeup but still looking elegant next to him, and couldn't help but remarked in his heart that it really fits your name!
"If your father was not Joseph Calvin, if you were not here on behalf of Motoraro this time, I would definitely give you the highest respect!"
"But this time you are here to discuss business with me. I don't think there is any need to cause me too much trouble!"
Tao Xi placed the finished red wine glass on the table before throwing the "equity transfer contract" he had prepared on the table.
"This is [say hello] a transfer contract for 3% of the legal person shares. With it, you can have a right to object."
Nidalee Calvin's breathing became much faster the first time she saw the contract. If her good tutor hadn't kept her restrained, she might have held the contract tightly in her hands.
"I am here to cooperate with Bell Labs. I hope to get this contract."
Tao Xi poured himself a glass of red wine and pointed to the Nasdaq broadcast on the screen where a group of people were standing on the stage speaking. He replied: "The one with the highest price will get it. Don't talk too much nonsense. You can also
Don't say too many boring things, I only want money, or shares that can make my heart beat. Only these things can start your negotiation with me."
Nidalee Galvin glanced at the Bell Labs spokesperson who was giving a speech and couldn't help but ask: "Do you mean to wait until the market value of the company is determined before we discuss it?"
"certainly!"
“I am very optimistic about the value of [say hello] at this stage.”
Nidalee Calvin thought seriously after hearing Tao Xi's words. After all, a person of Tao Xi's status would not say nonsense.
Motorola’s arrival this time
In fact, it was a buyer that Tao Xi had long thought about. Although one of his relatives was in the Samsung Group, after the past two years of running in and communicating with the mainland, the Samsung Group has always controlled their core mobile phone business very well.
Even Li Fuzhen couldn't do it, so Tao Xi planned to try to get some authorization or patent authorization through Motorola!
After all, he already owns a mobile phone chip factory. The reason why MGM became Hollywood's "tech" light and shadow technology leader is because of its acquisition of AMD!
Now that he has the chip, if he can get some technical authorization from Motorola, then the mobile phone business he has been dreaming about can be launched!
