Chapter 204 Nasdaq Listing
"Brother Rolls-Royce, acquisition is definitely a big deal. I think your best choice is what I proposed before."
Super Manager Tiantian continued: "The five million should be used to buy 10% of the shares of our Shark Platform. If the management is not good, the loss will not be lost."
"No need, just buy it directly."
Lin Fan said calmly: "If the Shark Platform fails to operate well after the acquisition and leads to bankruptcy, then the 100 million will be treated as a joke."
"One hundred million is just for fun."
Tiantian opened her mouth in shock, and took out 100 million to play with. This Rolls-Royce guy is too rich!
Sure enough, she didn't understand the world of rich people.
"Okay, Brother Rolls-Royce, if that's the case, then I'll take you to meet with the board of directors to discuss the acquisition," Tiantian said.
"Okay." Lin Fan nodded and followed the superintendent into an office.
There were seven or eight people sitting on the long table, both men and women. These were all shareholders of Shark Live.
What happens next is simple.
Lin Fan found a table to sit down and drank coffee, while Supervisor Tiantian printed out various acquisition contracts.
The contract was printed and handed to Lin Fan in a thick stack.
Lin Fan signed the contracts one by one, pressed his fingerprints, and then transferred 100 million yuan to the shareholder account of Shark Platform.
It took almost an hour to do all this.
"Master Lin, from now on, you are the boss of Shark Platform."
The shareholders all stood up and looked at Lin Fan with great respect:
"Because you are a wholly-owned acquirer, you have the right to decide everything in our company without voting or anything."
Lin Fan nodded. From now on, the Shark Platform is his.
"Master Lin, do you want to see our platform's financial statements for this quarter?"
"In addition, you have just acquired the company and there are many personnel changes that need to be decided by you."
"There is also the company's employee recruitment. There is a recent shortage of some software engineers. You also need to decide on salary and benefits."
...
After a while, the management of the company's financial department, human resources department and other departments came to Lin Fan and asked Lin Fan for instructions on the company's future development.
Lin Fan suddenly felt dizzy. He didn't expect that a small live broadcast platform would have so many things waiting for him to make a decision.
He also thought of his father, Lin Tianxiao, who was in charge of wealth that could influence the global economy. How many things could he do every day?
I guess I'm so busy that I can't even be separated.
Lin Fan immediately called the Shark Platform management and shareholders together for a meeting.
"I have just taken office. The tedious matters within the company, such as financial statement review, personnel recruitment, anchor recruitment, gift sharing, etc., are all business as usual. As long as there are no major issues of principle, everything is fine." Lin Fan said.
Hearing this, those people breathed a sigh of relief.
They are really afraid of having a boss who doesn't know anything, who will dictate things all day long and let laymen take charge of insiders.
They like this hands-off policy very much.
Of course, the boss also has preconditions and there will be no issues of principle.
"Let me talk about the company's future development direction." Lin Fan added: "Our goal is to make Shark Platform the top live broadcast platform in the country within one year and to be listed on Nasdaq at the same time."
"One year, Nasdaq listing!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present was dumbfounded, thinking that they had heard wrongly.
"Young Master Lin, are you kidding me..."
The financial director of the company coughed lightly and felt a little speechless. Mr. Lin didn't understand at all what being listed on Nasdaq meant!
"Yeah, listing on Nasdaq, this... this feels a bit like a dream."
"I understand, I understand, Young Master Lin is young and doesn't understand some things. Don't laugh at Young Master Lin!"
"Yeah, who hasn't had their youth! What a joke!"
"Lin Shaohao is so angry that he is in the sky, I admire him!"
Everyone was whispering.
"What, is it difficult to list on Nasdaq?"
Lin Fan's face was full of curiosity. He remembered correctly. The Lin family has more than a dozen companies listed on Nasdaq.
For two of them, it only took half a year.
So in Lin Fan's opinion, this should be a very simple matter, and he also gave a one-year deadline, which is already very long.
"Ahem, Mr. Lin, this is not only difficult, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky." The financial manager shook his head helplessly. He felt that it was necessary to explain to Mr. Lin how difficult it is to be listed on Nasdaq:
"Master Lin, if you want to be listed on Nasdaq, there are three standards. The lowest of them is that shareholders' equity must reach 15 million US dollars. However, our company's current shareholder equity is not even 5 million. Of these five million, I
It’s about RMB.”
"In addition, the public shareholding value is required to reach US$8 million. But now, our Shark Platform has no public shareholding at all, let alone US$8 million."
"Think about it for yourself. If you want the Shark platform to be listed on Nasdaq within a year, if you want to give it to me, you might as well dream. There is everything in the dream."
At the end of the sentence, the financial director couldn't help laughing.
"Yes, Mr. Lin, there are thousands of Chinese live broadcast platforms, but only two are listed on the market. The competition is fierce. Some time ago, a large live broadcast platform went bankrupt. With the current situation of our Shark Platform, in Nasdaq
The possibility of listing the company is basically zero. Even if it goes public, it will take ten or twenty years."
"But who knows, ten or twenty years from now, will live streaming be as popular as it is now?"
"Mr. Lin, you are young, so you are very motivated. After all, young people, I understand your thoughts. You want to soar into the sky, become the best among people, and attract people's attention." An older manager said:
"However, being able to ring the bell on Nasdaq is a gathering of countless honors, and all of them are high-ranking figures. Shark Platform, among other things, can transform from a third-rate live broadcast platform to a second-rate platform within one year.
There has been great progress.”
"As for the Nasdaq listing, really, Mr. Lin, don't think too much about it."
After hearing these words, Lin Fan's expression did not change at all, and he spoke calmly:
“If Shark Platform wants to become bigger and stronger, it needs a large enough audience, and there are two ways to attract audiences, one is advertising and marketing, and the other is poaching big anchors from other platforms. These big anchors all have their own fan traffic.
"
"As long as you do these two things well, you won't have to worry about not being able to go public within a year?"
"Young Master Lin, you are right. If you can understand this, it seems you have some business acumen." The financial manager smiled and said:
"But you have forgotten one thing. Advertising and marketing cost money. It costs even more money to poach big anchors. If you want to poach those big anchors, those anchors will definitely have to compensate the original platform for liquidated damages, and there will also be a premium. This has to be
