"I figured it out, Dai Wei said sternly that he would never sell the yellow car to you, and then Lao Zhu took the opportunity to persuade him to consider other companies. Now the negotiation is almost over."
Lin just wanted to laugh after hearing this.
There is no need for anyone to teach you how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Dai Wei is not really stupid and he must know how to choose the best option for himself.
In the past, it might have been due to personality issues, so there was a hurdle in my heart that I couldn't pass. Now my hatred for Lin Yi rose to the top of my heart, so I just went along with it and agreed to sell the little yellow car.
Maybe he was still thinking that selling it to each group would cause some trouble for Wanli Travel.
Obviously Dai Wei hasn't discovered that Lin Yi's future career focus is not on traveling thousands of miles, and he doesn't even want to be the CEO.
"No matter what, thank you for this time. Originally we just had the mentality of giving it a try, but we didn't expect that it turned out to be successful."
"Lao Zhu said that your ability to hurt others is 100%. If he hadn't pulled you, you might have started a fight on the spot."
Wang Xing's thanks should be sincere, but what he said next is pure slander.
Lin Yi smiled and said: "I said, this young master must have hated me. This time I offended him severely because of your affairs."
"If Dai Wei gets rich again in the future and comes to me to carry thirty years to the east of the river and thirty years to the west of the river, you have to help me."
Wang Xing comforted him: "Don't worry, there should be no chance."
"With so many rounds of financing for Xiaohuangche, Dai Wei's own shareholding ratio is already very low, not to mention that there is still a large amount of debt."
"Dai Wei shouldn't get much cash out of the consideration for this transaction."
"Besides, you are recognized by the media as the strongest post-90s generation on earth. Dai Wei is not the only young person who covets your position. I believe you can handle it."
Lin Yi was not that easy to fool: "It sounds like you don't intend to admit your fault?"
"Believe it or not, I immediately ran to Dai Wei and said that this time I was just cooperating with you to act in a play at his place. You will see if he can sell you his little yellow car!"
Wang Xing was not panicked after hearing this because he knew Lin Yi was not that boring.
"Dai Wei has been completely eliminated in this industry. Even if he still wants to work on new projects, based on his performance this time, there will be no investors to accompany him."
"As for other places, even if you two really have a day to see each other again, the time limit may be thirty years like you said."
"So Dai Wei has nothing to worry about, but I understand what you mean."
"I owe you a favor this time. Come and get it anytime."
After forcibly extorting a favor from Wang Xing, Lin Yi was in a good mood. He felt that this appearance was not in vain, and it was in line with his worth.
"You were right about one thing just now. Not everyone has the chance to be harmed by me."
"So you'd better pray that you don't offend me in any way in the future. Otherwise, you don't need to be invited by anyone else next time. I'll just send it to you if you arrange your message."
Wang Xing was too lazy to argue and naturally expressed his approval.
Lin Yi finally remembered a reminder: "In the future, no one will ever say that Dai Wei looks like me. Such words are too serious and I feel I am not blessed to bear them."
"As for him himself, when he heard this comment, he probably just thought it was scolding him."
Shortly after their phone call, each group officially announced the acquisition of Xiaohuangche, a bicycle-sharing company. With this in place, the business crisis was finally over.
Dai Wei, the founder of Xiaohuangche, has not been heard from since.
…
Helping Wang Xing act as an extra was just a small episode for Lin Yi.
At the end of April, the new regulations of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange officially came into effect.
At the beginning of May, Wanli Travel basically submitted the first batch of listing applications due to time constraints. After receiving it, it was listed on the exchange website on the same day, triggering a wave of attention.
The essence of listing is to become a "public company", and there are several key points.
The first is ownership and control, i.e. "whose company is this?"
Wanli Travel has not been established for a long time and has a clear history. Due to the relationship between financing and mergers, although there are many shareholders, the ownership structure is clear.
Lin Yi's previous emphasis on different rights for the same shares, that is, the realization of absolute voting rights with a minority shareholding through AB shares, is no longer an obstacle after the new regulations.
The second point is the business and financial status, that is, "what does this company do?"
Lin Yi started preparing for this not from the day when the Kunpeng project team was established, as he casually mentioned, but from the time of the merger with Dudu Express.
There are other important factors, but they have all been left behind.
For example, regarding compliance issues, the participation of so many law firms is definitely not for the purpose of issuing a final legal opinion that "Wanli Travel operates illegally."
Another example is how much money will be raised by listing and how it is planned to be used. It must also be clearly promised.
There are a lot of them, so a prospectus can easily be thousands of pages long and contains a lot of information.
Retail investors like to call themselves leeks in the stock market, and the reason why retail investors are retail investors is because they never read these things, or they don't understand them.
It sounds complicated, but firstly, Wanli Travel’s business is mature and stable, and secondly, this is the first batch of large companies that have attracted much attention after the implementation of the new regulations, and they have already communicated with the exchange in the preparation stage.
Therefore, we encountered no difficulties in the process, and Wanli Travel passed the hearing quickly.
During the sales stage, after Lin set a benchmark of "pre-IPO market value of US$60 billion", he did not spend too much effort on this.
This pricing is only slightly higher than the previous year’s Pre-IPO round valuation by about 10%.
Lin Yi's minimum goal is not to break the stock. If the market conditions are good and there is growth after the opening, this profit margin can be left to the investors who subscribed.
As for the road show, Liu Jianni’s appearance as CEO is enough.
Lin Yi arrived in Hong Kong City in early July.
His trip was to attend the listing ceremony of Wanli Travel, but before his own company, he had to attend someone else's.
It’s Lei Jun from Rice.
Rice submitted its listing application at almost the same time, and the subsequent pace is similar to Wanli Travel.
Lin Yi and Lei Jun have a certain friendship. Because of the exchange over the acquisition of Musically, the other party has now also invested in his Pengcheng Automobile, which is an independent car manufacturing subsidiary.
Out of respect for his seniors, Lin Yi deliberately showed courtesy in the order.
Rice's listing ceremony was scheduled the day before Wanli's trip, making it the first mainland technology company to list on the Hong Kong stock market after the new regulations.
On the day of listing, the rice market opened with great success, creating a prosperous scene.
After the ceremony, Lei Jun also invited Lin Yi to attend the listing dinner organized by them, which was another grand celebration.
"Isn't our listing ceremony scheduled for tomorrow? I have to go back and prepare."
Lin Yi declined the invitation. In fact, he did not want to make any preparations for the listing ceremony. The staff will be responsible for those things. Lin Yi can just do it when he arrives.
