When the news came that China had successfully bid for the Olympics, the entire bar burst into cheers.
As the bar manager, Jiang Zhongnan directly announced that all consumers in the bar would be free of charge. This wealthy and generous manner made the customers cheer. Several resident singers standing in the center of the bar stage also sang with tears in their eyes.
I started playing "I Love You, China" by Qin Hai.
"I love you China, beloved mother
I cry for you and I am proud of you..."
Along with the accompaniment of the band, the whole audience burst into a chorus. When Li Qing appeared on the TV screen waving the Chinese flag, at this moment, everyone present could not help but burst into tears.
"I'm telling you,"
Jiang Zhongnan, who was lying on the bar, was drunk. He drunkenly picked up a few strange customers next to him, pointed at the picture on the TV, and said with a smile: "This kid was discovered by my brothers. Have you ever heard of that?"
Is there a song? 'I heard you say, the sun rises and sets', haha, it was spread from our bar..."
The person next to him quickly echoed: "I know, I know, Brother Nan, you are drunk, who doesn't know that there is a Li Qing, a Bao Yunyun, and, by the way, Cai Li in our Blue Moon Bar..."
"I'm so happy!"
Jiang Zhongnan laughed loudly, and then suddenly burst into tears, "Time flies so fast! It's almost 2002 in the blink of an eye. China's bid for the Olympics was successful, Qingzi became famous internationally, and Yunyun's new album has started
I have tried dance music, Leng Ling has joined Hanhai, and Cai Li and Wang Zhong, these two guys, I am not used to not seeing them on TV every day. Every day, major variety shows are running one after another, haha
, they all have a promising future, I’m happy!”
The entire bar was immersed in the joy of winning the Olympic bid. Jiang Zhongnan's voice was only heard by a few people nearby. One of them smiled and asked: "Boss, our bar has discovered so many stars. Do you have any secrets?"
"What's the secret? Luck, it's all luck!"
Jiang Zhongnan wiped his tears, looked a little lonely, picked up a glass of beer and swallowed it.
Seeing the bartender crying while drinking, the bartender couldn't help but feel distressed, and quickly advised him: "Boss, stop drinking."
"Today our country has successfully bid for the Olympic Games. On such a happy day, we should drink more!"
Jiang Zhongnan breathed out a breath of alcohol, changed his voice, and sighed: "Well, it's actually nothing. I just haven't gotten together with Qingzi and the others in the past few years. To be honest, I really miss them..."
The customers next to me laughed out loud when they heard this.
Whether it's Li Qing, Bao Yunyun, Cai Li or the others, they are now all top-tier stars in the domestic entertainment industry. Each of them has an astonishing net worth. How can I have time to return to this small bar and get together with you, the small owner of the bar?
?
What are you thinking about?
After a while, Jiang Zhongnan was very drunk and was helped into the inner compartment by the waiter to rest. When the waiter came back, someone said with a smile: "This boss Jiang likes to talk about those things back then, no matter what."
Is it Li Qing and the others who have been the resident singers here? It’s just an employment relationship. They really regard themselves as individuals. Li Qing has made a fortune. Do you have anything to do with him? They just want to climb up the ladder.
Li Qing’s reputation is in business, if I were Li Qing, I would have sued him long ago!”
"What did you say?"
When the bartender at the bar heard this, he glared at the other person: "Do you know what the relationship between our boss and Li Qing is? That's Tie Ci'er! Do you understand?"
"That's right, Blue Moon can now open hundreds of branches across the country. Do you think our boss needs to have a relationship with Li Qingpan? Do you know how many connections our boss has in the entertainment industry? When the band Windmill became popular, our boss was in the entertainment industry
Stand firm, does Ma Xuzhen know? You must not know that Bao Yunyun’s manager was also the manager of the Windmill Band back then. When our boss and Ma Xuzhen were running rampant in the entertainment industry, Li Qing and the others were probably just
Go to elementary school!" a waiter said unconvinced.
Seeing that the commotion was getting louder and louder, the customer smiled and said, "Hey, that's what happened! It seems that Li Qing was famous because of Boss Jiang!"
"Xiaolan is right. Even now, many people in the entertainment industry have a close relationship with our boss."
The bartender who has been working at the Blue Moon Bar wiped the glass with a hand towel and said with a smile: "Also, the fact that the Blue Moon Bar can open a national chain is indeed due to Li Qing. After all, Li Qing has
shares!"
It was the first time for many people to hear about this, and they couldn't help but open their eyes wide. After a long time, they said in surprise: "No wonder Blue Moon is developing so fast."
Nowadays, the news that Phantom Technology is about to go public has gradually spread through media reports.
And if Phantom Technology is successfully listed, rumors that Li Qing's personal income will reach tens of billions will also spread.
In the eyes of many people, Li Qing is no longer just a simple entertainment star, but more like a business tycoon who has been in the mall for many years and has the highest net worth in the country.
Although he has made every effort, Li Qing is only 22 years old.
…
With the successful bid for the Olympics, the entire capital city began to undergo tremendous changes. Various policies and facilities were arranged based on the Beijing Olympics seven years later, and all development was centered around the Beijing Olympics.
The slogan "New Beijing, New Olympics" also began to spread more and more loudly.
The success of the Olympic bid will not only promote great progress in my country's sports industry, but will also become two engines for China's economic development in the future, promote the further development of my country's economy, and promote the progress of science and technology, culture, and environmental protection.
In the next seven years, great changes will take place in Beijing every day. People will continue to work hard and make progress in order to show their most perfect side to the world in 2008.
The huge changes in the capital also herald huge changes in China as a whole.
China's rise is unstoppable, and the countdown to Li Qing's rise has officially begun.
Half a year has passed since the application for listing. In late September, with the help of two major underwriters, Goldman Sachs Group and UBS Investment, Phantom Technology finally passed the review of the New York Stock Exchange and obtained the listing license.
This indicates that Phantom Technology can go to the New York Stock Exchange for listing and trading anytime and anywhere.
But before that, if you want investors to know more about Phantom Technology, if you want to attract investors' attention, pay attention to and buy Phantom Technology's stocks, and prevent Phantom Technology's stock market from falling into a dog as soon as it opens, as the person in charge of the company,
Li Qing and other corporate executives must conduct roadshows in various countries and regions around the world to introduce the present and future of Phantom Technology to the public.
As for how to establish the reputation of Phantom Technology, Hanhai Group, Goldman Sachs, and UBS have already started various actions half a year ago. Of course, Hanhai Group is mainly making efforts in this regard.
For example, in the past six months, major media in the United States have been exaggerating the Chinese market, as well as Chinese Internet culture and the achievements of the online game "Legend of Blood" in China. This online game alone has made a game company annual revenue
Tens of millions of dollars, which surprises foreigners. The most important thing is that among these tens of millions of dollars, even if business technology and operating funds are excluded, about 70% is net income.
But if there is only one game to make money, investors will naturally be able to see the hidden dangers in it. But it is obvious that Phantom Technology has more than just one game, "Legend of Blood", "Kart Racing", "
The successful operation of games such as "Counter-Strike" has also allowed Phantom Technology to successfully enter China's largest game production and operation company.
In addition, the parent company of Phantom Technology also surprised many news readers.
The famous novelist, singer, and actor Leesin actually has such a powerful entertainment group under his name, especially with so many companies, so many industries, various record companies, film and television companies, various new media, and various new technologies.
Pharmaceutical companies, real estate companies, and foreigners were dumbfounded when they saw this.
The most important thing is that Leesin is only 22 years old!
A shining "superstar", people are paying more and more attention to leesin's information.
Under this situation, the news that Phantom Technology is about to go public has gradually reached the ears of investors. When people think about this new stock, they can't help but think of the novelist, singer, actor, and grand piano player.
Home, entrepreneur looks like.
After the news of the listing qualification reached Li Qing's ears, he, who was filming "Titanic" in Mexico, once again left the crew and began to prepare for the listing.
Scott was very angry about this, but Li Qing was the film's largest investor and script creator, but he couldn't get angry easily, so in addition to complaining to his colleagues that Li Qing was "too busy", he just swallowed it alive
With this sigh, I reluctantly stopped shooting in Beijing and started preparing for other shooting work.
Emma and other leading actors in the drama have the greatest understanding for Li Qing's departure. Although they are filming, the newspaper news every day has not fallen behind at all, and various news channels are also in line with the outside world. Naturally, they know that Li Qing left.
significance.
After all, it is a new company that is about to go public, and it has a market value of one billion US dollars. No matter who it is, if they think about it, they will probably make such a choice.
After Li Qing left Mexico, he rushed to Hong Kong as soon as possible. He, Zhou Shu, Jia Cunrui and others will receive pre-IPO knowledge training from Goldman Sachs Group in Hong Kong, because Zhou Shu, Jia Cunrui and others are all the first
Once you come into contact with a listing, you naturally need to do more understanding and learning.
A week later, after returning from the training, after the final preparatory work before listing, Phantom Technology officially submitted an IP (initial public offering) prospectus to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SE), intending to raise US$300 million.
And this news quickly spread to all parts of the world.
This is the first Chinese Internet technology company to be listed in the United States, and has attracted attention both inside and outside the industry.
In China, relevant media have spared no effort to elaborate on the above-mentioned path of Phantom Technology in the United States.
Judging from the current momentum and the potential of Phantom Technology, Wall Street analysts, including Wall Street analysts, believe that the amount of US$200 million raised by Phantom Technology is only a nominal figure and will continue to rise after pricing. According to predictions,
Phantom Technology will raise approximately US$800 million.
If this figure is realized, the overall market value of Phantom Technology will easily exceed 20 billion yuan.
According to senior U.S. securities trading personnel, in the market, a country's number one brand is equivalent to a category. Phantom Technology now has advantages in domestic online game production and operation that other game companies have been unable to match for some time. This
This will further enhance the value of Phantom Technology.
According to the prospectus, Phantom's stock trading code is hui, its registered place is the British Cayman Islands, and its financing amount is US$300 million.
As for why the place of registration should be placed in the Cayman Islands, the first reason is to facilitate reasonable tax avoidance. Unlike in China, the local government of the Cayman Islands does not impose any taxes on this type of company and only charges annual management fees.
Of course, this move by Phantom Technology exploited a legal loophole. At present, domestic laws are not perfect, which means that only simple registration in Cayman can be used to reasonably avoid taxes. However, in later generations, with the expansion of the market, overseas listed companies have become more and more popular.
More and more, many conditions are gradually attached to people who want to avoid taxes reasonably.
For example, only by conducting cross-border trade and conducting tax planning by setting up companies in different countries and regions can you have the space and qualifications to legally avoid taxes. If you register just for tax avoidance, you will be severely punished by the tax authorities in future generations.
Second, it is to facilitate listing in the United States or overseas financing.
Because the huge capital transfers of Cayman Islands companies are not restricted, it is convenient for companies to carry out capital operations. If a company needs to introduce foreign investment or go public overseas, it can register an offshore company in the Cayman Islands, acquire 00% of the equity of the domestic company, and then transfer it to the Cayman Islands.
Cayman companies submit listings in Hong Kong or the United States to complete overseas financing of domestic companies.
Of course, the reason why it is not listed in the country is that in addition to the immature domestic market, domestic capital does not pay attention to the Internet. This is also the reason why many network technology companies in later generations, including Phantom, have sought overseas capital support to list.
Third, the information is highly confidential. This is an effect that is currently not experienced in China. Basically, companies listed on domestic A-shares, the roster of directors, the identity of shareholders, the income of the company, and the proportion of equity
All this information will be leaked to a greater or lesser extent.
Especially in the era of the Internet explosion in later generations, it is basically a fantasy to keep personal information absolutely confidential. In later generations, there are a large number of information traders who specialize in this and make a lot of money by selling and sharing information.
As a leader in domestic online games, Phantom also introduced in detail the current market status and future prospects of China's online games in its nearly 4,000-word prospectus, and described the company's future diversification in each of the company's businesses.
And the packaging looks like "Chinese Disney".
These are words that foreigners are very happy to see.
The entire prospectus is hundreds of pages long, including a company description, a description of all business conditions, a description of profits and losses, market development, etc.
Although key data such as IP prices have not yet been finalized, judging from the market reaction, people are obviously not very interested in Phantom Technology. The first reason is that compared to US investors, the amount of financing raised by Phantom is relatively small.
The second is that the reputation and reputation of Illusion abroad have not really been established yet.
At this time, Li Qing and other business leaders and managers need to appear.
