Chapter 314 Can This Small Room of Mine Hold All the Space?
The spring breeze blows through the curtains, and the moonlight shines on the boudoir.
As the saying goes, a long separation is better than a newlywed. After a lot of tossing, the sweaty Guo Hanyue lay in Li Xiaofan's arms, gently caressing his handsome cheek, and said with distress: "You seem to be thinner when you come back from the United States this time." Yes, it’s hard to travel on business, isn’t it?”
"It's okay. I just go to the United States once in a while. The jet lag is hard to get over, so I can't sleep well at night. By the time you get used to the jet lag, you'll have to come back again. But it doesn't matter, it's just a few days here and there..."
"Well, then I'll spare you tonight and let's go to bed early."
Li Xiaofan said with a bad smile: "Haha, but I don't want to be unable to spare you tonight!"
"I hate it, come on!"
…
After another round of troubles, Li Xiaofan hugged Guo Hanyue and said: "Recently, I see that the business of our Yifan Optical Glasses Store is very good, and the profit is also very good. I am considering adding a few more people to you, so as to prepare for the future. Open a second optical shop in the Los Angeles area to reserve manpower. In addition, it will allow you and Mengchen to have more rest time every week. I suggest that you two sign up to learn English together in your spare time. If your English is not good in Singapore, it will be difficult... "
Liu Mengchen said disapprovingly: "Now Mengchen and I's spoken English is enough to deal with regular customers in the optical shop, why do we need to learn so much?"
"Then you two are too short-sighted! Come on, let me tell you some good news first. The Yahoo company we invested in has been valued at US$300 million, and a Japanese-backed investment company has invested US$100 million. Now. Longmeng and Longyue Investment Company, which you and Mengchen hold on behalf of each other, each hold % of Yahoo's shares. I expect that in April next year. Yahoo can be listed on Nasdaq in the United States. Although the Longyue Investment Company you hold on behalf of the company will be diluted to about 0.6% of Yahoo's shares, the market value of Yahoo after listing will exceed US$1 billion. , which means that the value of Longyue Investment Company you hold on behalf of others will exceed 6 million US dollars!”
In the previous life, after SoftBank Group invested a new US$100 million in Yahoo in March 1996, Yahoo was allowed to log into the Nasdaq market on March 7, 1996. Then, Yahoo issued 10% of its total equity at a price of US$13 per share and publicly sold 2.6 million Yahoo shares, raising a total of US$33.8 million. Yahoo's IPO valuation was US$100 million.
At that time, Yahoo's two major competitors, Lycos and Excite, had already gone public first, but Yahoo's listing was still enthusiastically welcomed by Wall Street investors.
On April 12, 1996, Yahoo stock was officially listed on the Nasdaq market. The opening price on the first day was US$43, with a maximum price of US$43. On the last day, it closed at US$33, with the market value exceeding US$850 million. More than a month later, Yahoo's stock price exceeded US$50, and its market value also exceeded US$1.5 billion...
In this life, Li Xiaofan estimates that Yahoo, which started to seize the market in 1995 with its financial report and a large investment from SoftBank in advance, will be listed on Nasdaq in April next year. It will definitely be more popular than in the previous life. It is entirely possible that the market value on the first day of listing will be Breaking through 1 billion US dollars!
After hearing this, Guo Hanyue was shocked: "Wow, my God, 6 million US dollars, how many RMB do I have to calculate?"
"Here, let me help you do the math. The current exchange rate between the US dollar and the RMB is around 8.3, so 6 million US dollars is equivalent to 50 million RMB..."
"50 million yuan, did I hear correctly?" Guo Hanyue was so shocked that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear.
"You heard me right. The Singapore Longyue Investment Company you hold on my behalf in April next year will be worth at least 50 million yuan. Together with the Longmeng Investment held by Mengchen on my behalf, the two investment companies you two hold on my behalf will be worth more than 100 million yuan." 100 million yuan!”
"Oh my god, no way, 100 million yuan! Let me do the math. If one piece is 100 yuan, how many pieces will it cost for 100 million yuan?"
Li Xiaofan was amused and said with a smile: "Idiot, 100 yuan a piece, 1 million yuan is 10,000 yuan, 100 million yuan is 1 million..."
"I'm dizzy, can I fit 1 million in this small room?"
"Absolutely. If it's new currency, it would be about the size of a refrigerator and a half."
In his previous life, Li Xiaofan watched a video in which a rich man stored 100 million yuan in cash in a glass cabinet, which was similar in size to a long refrigerator and wider than a refrigerator.
Li Xiaofan smiled and said: "Yueyue, if you exchange 100 million yuan into cash worth 10,000 Singapore dollars, about 1,800 will be enough. You can carry it in a briefcase and run away!"
"Haha, this is still convenient! But, Afan, this is all your money, what does it have to do with me and Mengchen? We are just holding it for you..."
"Why doesn't it matter! When Yahoo goes public next year, I estimate that you and Mengchen will become celebrities in Singapore, a slightly famous investment upstart! I told you last time that I will easily help you apply for EP by then. Employment pass, and then help you apply for PR permanent resident status. The plan is to open a new Yifan optical store in Bedok early next year, and let you and Mengchen manage one each, and give you equity incentives. Of course, let the Longmeng and Longyue Investment companies you hold on behalf of you come to Yahoo. After the stocks are cashed out, I will reward you and give you both a little surprise..."
Guo Hanyue hugged Li Xiaofan's neck and said, "How surprising is that?"
"I won't tell you now..."
"Afan, it looks like you will have a lot of money soon and become a millionaire. Will you have a lot of women around you in the future? Will you not want me in the future?" Guo Hanyue said in Li Xiaofan's arms.
"Yes! I want it now!"
"Hate it!"
...
The day after returning to Singapore, Li Xiaofan received an email from Nvidia founder Huang Renxun in Singapore. Huang Renxun told Li Xiaofan in the email that he and several partners had discussed internally and they valued the current post-investment valuation of Nvidia at $10 million. If Li Xiaofan is willing, he can invest $1 million or $2 million to obtain 10% or 20% of the equity...
On the third day after receiving Huang Renxun's email, Li Xiaofan received another email from OmniVision Technologies CEO Hong Youying. Hong Youying told Li Xiaofan in an email that they had asked a California accounting firm to do a simple assessment of Weihao Technology's CIS project. After discussing with Stanley Chiu, an angel investor in Taiwan, they were willing to release 15% of Weihao Technology's shares to Li Xiaofan if Li Xiaofan was willing to invest another $2 million in Weihao Technology.
If Li Xiaofan accepted this condition, Stanley Chiu, an angel investor in Taiwan, would hold 25% of Weihao Technology's shares, and the remaining 60% would be held by Hong Youying and four co-founders including Chen Datong.
Li Xiaofan knew that although Weihao Technology had developed a sample of CIS sensors under the leadership of Dr. Chen Datong, a technical master, it was just a sample and was still a long way from real marketization. Weihao Technology's real success did not shock the industry until it launched the world's first single-chip color CMOS image sensor product in 1997, which began large-scale commercialization.
Therefore, the current Weihao Technology team and the angel investors from Taiwan actually have no idea how far their current CIS sensor project can go...
After receiving the emails from Huang Renxun and Hong Youying, Li Xiaofan first gave them a courtesy reply, saying that the email had been received and he would discuss with his team before giving them a reply.
In the evening, after replying to Hong Youying's email, Li Xiaofan looked at the opening price of Netscape's stock today on his computer.
In the past few days, the price of Netscape's stock has been hovering around US$98, and the market value of his 10,000 shares of Netscape's stock is about US$2.45 million.
The best news from Yahoo's Jerry Yang in Silicon Valley today is that Yahoo Mail plans to be launched on December 1, providing free email services to users worldwide.
