Chapter 721 Listing Plan
Money is indeed good in this business-rich place, and with the last caterer's van taking the trash out of the trash cans, everything in the house is the same as it was yesterday.
After the excitement, the little guy was sleeping again. Huang Jingping screened today's photos on the computer, "These effects are good, I want to show them to my parents when I return home,"
"What do you mean? That is to say, even though we gave birth to a child without telling you, we are still qualified parents, and we have not failed in what we should do for our children?" Feng Yiping said with a smile.
"Yes, we are qualified parents,"
"Don't think too much, don't worry, when they see such a cute little guy, they will lose all their anger, and look at a daughter-in-law like you and a son-in-law like me, it's hard to find even with a lantern. Opinion?"
"Hee hee, you're really thick-skinned," Huang Jingping joked to Feng Yiping, "I want to make a phone call to both parties."
What she is doing now is the same as when Feng Yiping called her family on the night her daughter was born. She wanted to make a report in advance, so that she could tell her family, look, we always remembered you at that time, although we dared not Ming said, but the phone has been called.
"Come on, just don't say you missed it now,"
If he accidentally said something wrong, it would either be the parents who flew over, or let the two guys who made mistakes fly back with the fruits of their mistakes.
He also wanted to make a call, first to Gao Zhiyi, "Yiping, it's summer vacation, when are you coming back?"
"There are still some things here, and it will take a while, it's like this," Feng Yiping explained to Gao Zhiyi what he thought of in the morning, "Leave this task to Magic Workshop, it is still a group competition, let them Come up with a plan as soon as possible,"
"How did you think of this?" Gao Zhiyi was a little surprised, "However, what you said is really good. When I accompanied Li Jia to the hospital for a check-up these past few months, I went to the pediatrics department and often saw Many parents take their children's temperature and pay a deposit to use a public mercury thermometer, which is really troublesome and unhygienic. If we can design the finished product according to your wishes, at least those families with children will definitely buy it."
"Li Jia is pregnant? Congratulations! When is the due date?"
"The 16th of next month," Gao Zhiyi's joy could be heard on the phone, "How long do you want for this design?"
"For three months, tell them that you can go to the market to buy related products for reference, but the finished product must not have patent disputes,"
This thing is actually not a particularly high-tech thing. The reason why it has not been widely promoted now is mainly because of the price. Now it is several thousand yuan, how many families are willing to buy it?
SARS is a once-in-a-lifetime promotion opportunity, and it will also be a win-win opportunity.
After hanging up the phone, Feng Yiping was a little worried again. Li Jia was going to have a baby next month, so it would be difficult to keep Gao Zhiyi and the others in the capital next year. Wouldn't he be too busy?
However, I really don’t have time to worry about this right now. The rest of today’s schedule is full, and now it’s time to go to the company’s conference call. He will go to Sequoia tomorrow. Today he will listen to Automobile Network and Yijia Express Hotel about the progress of the listing work. The latest report on the situation.
Except that even Feng Yiping could tell that Cui Yunling was a little preoccupied when reporting, everything else was fine.
However, those who don't know may think that Cui Yunling has been working too much and under too much pressure these days, and only Feng Yiping and a few of them know what's going on.
This person is going farther and farther on the road of not being dead.
…………
Although Sand Hill Road is right next to the Stanford campus, Feng Yiping only set foot on this road today during his one-year Stanford career. Different from the frenzy of Wall Street and the luxury of Palm Beach, this road is so simple and low-key that it makes people feel uncomfortable. People doubt, is this the Wall Street of the West?
In front of an inconspicuous small building belonging to Sequoia Corporation, Michael Moretz waited uncharacteristically at the door. It stands to reason that venture capitalists like them with a lot of money in their hands have always sat in their comfortable offices and listened to Those entrepreneurial teams that need investment sell, sell, and even beg to him.
However, in the face of Feng Yiping, who is not short of money and has a very promising project, it is worth making an exception for someone who lacks experience in listing and operating in the United States.
Originally investing in small projects such as Jiasheng Automobile Network and Yijia Express Hotel did not require a high-level executive like him to personally ask, but since Feng Yiping successfully invested in Google and he had a deep understanding of the prospects of NEXTDOOR, Moretz simply put this Both tasks were taken into his own hands.
Feng Yiping came to the front of the building lightly, a little serious, along the way, he has been thinking about a problem very seriously, should he also have a foot in this way? After all, those successful high-tech companies that will appear in Silicon Valley in the future are all well-known, and there is no such thing as investment in vain.
However, regardless of his current personal pockets, on this road, there are very few people who are richer than him, even if there are, but his personal wealth is compared with any company on this road. Not worth mentioning, unless he also finds some partners.
Partnering, let’s forget it, it’s amazing, those few very good projects, just like Google, will be launched by ourselves at that time.
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting," Feng Yiping apologized to Moretz, and then went straight to the topic on the way to the office, "Is there any work related to Wall Street that requires me to come forward?"
Feng Yiping didn't have much dealings with the SEC, but in order to go public, acquaintances on Wall Street visited a lot. On the one hand, it was to enhance the relationship and remove obstacles. On the other hand, it was also inspecting the underwriters for the listing.
"Everything is going well at present, but we all think that it is not the right time for the listing of the car network. It's not that it can't be listed, but it's listed now. The funds that can be raised may not be ideal,"
"Well, on the whole, I also think that the car network may be later, for example, it will be more ideal to go public next year, but Yijia, I demand that it must be successfully listed this year,"
He thinks this way because of the adverse effects of what will happen next year, SARS.
The spread of SARS has had a fatal impact on many industries, such as the hotel industry. At that time, most hotels were empty. Five-star hotels, as long as you dare to live, you can live within 200 yuan.
After SARS in 2003, there was bird flu again in 2004. Its impact on the hotel industry is also negative. If Yijia cannot be listed this year, it is best to wait until the next year. At that time, other domestic express hotels will also If it seeks to go public, Yijia will lose its first-mover advantage.
When a company of the same nature appears for the first time, everyone may be attracted to it, but if two or three companies appear one after another, investors may wonder whether the returns will be unsatisfactory if the market competition is so fierce.
Therefore, Yijia's listing work must be paid close attention.
However, as Feng Yiping often said, things always have two sides. SARS had a very negative impact on hotels, catering and many other industries.
However, because everyone stayed at home as much as possible during the months of high incidence, the number of visits to various websites increased significantly, and the volume of text messages sent also increased significantly. However, the impact is positive, which in turn drives the recovery of the domestic Internet industry.
Just like 9/11 boosted the sales of private jets, SARS also boosted the sales of cars. Those with the financial strength would think that it is not safe to take a bus or a taxi, and it is better to buy a car by themselves. Therefore, Automobile.com It's not bad to think about going public.
"No problem, we have analyzed various data, from its establishment to the current financial report, and the expected future, Yijia is a very high-quality company, we can successfully operate and list it this year, and we believe it It will soon be included in the Nasdaq China Index.”
It doesn't really matter, Feng Yiping hopes to raise more funds, and when there are not many competitors, he can firmly consolidate the foundation of Yijia as the first brother of the express hotel.
"Then I thank you first!" Feng Yiping smiled and raised the coffee cup to him.
"We should thank you. If all goes well, this may be the shortest time between investment and listing."
Moretz, one of the four kings of Sand Hill Road, said that although the amount of investment this time is not large, the rate of return on capital is estimated to set a record. Such a result is in line with his status.
