Media Tycoon since 1999

Chapter 396

Although it is still in mid-August, the capital city after the beginning of autumn is already quite cool in the evening.

Gao Yang pushed the double-basket stroller and walked with his family along the footpath next to the diversion canal of the Summer Palace outside the community.

After 8 o'clock in the evening, the two little guys were sleepy. Wu Lan, Li Xiuzhen and others took the children home to rest.

Gu Yawen and Gao Yang continued to walk arm in arm. Not far behind, a pair of young men and women followed. They were Xu Xiaodong, Gao Yang's new private driver, and Hu Chunfen, the female driver hired by the family.

These two people also have security tasks, and they are both very skilled special warfare veterans.

Xu Xiaodong pestered Hu Chunfen to talk, a bit like begging for nothing, but Hu Chunfen looked serious and didn't want to talk to him.

Gu Yawen looked back and said with a smile: "It seems that Xu Xiaodong fell in love with Chunfen at first sight, and Chunfen doesn't want to talk to him."

Gao Yang also looked back, and said with a smile: "Xu Xiaodong is 27 years old, and it's normal to want to talk to someone. Xiaodong is different from Zhang Wei. He grew up in a big city. He has a lively personality and a thick skin. Hu Chunfen's hometown is in Lu Province. In the Yimeng mountain area, the personality is relatively simple, and I think Xiaodong may be close to Chunfen."

Gu Yawen said: "Then if they get married, they will have to get married and have children, and then they will have to replace Chunfen."

Gao Yang said: "Although Chunfen is working in our family, why don't we let people get married and have children?"

Gu Yawen smiled and said: "You know that's not what I mean, I mean, if Chunfen gets married and has children, we need to hire another person."

Gao Yang thought about it: "Well, from next year, Xiaodong and Chunfen's work relationship will be linked to the company's security department, and the social security and medical insurance relationship will also be transferred to the company.

Their salary and benefits, in accordance with the company's relevant job standards, this part will be advanced by the company first, and the family will settle with the company at the end of the year.

If Chunfen and the others get married and have children, they can officially transfer to the company to work in the future, and then arrange new personnel to replace them. "

Gu Yawen thought about it: "This arrangement is very good, Chunfen and the others will have no worries. By the way, you will hold an enlarged meeting of the board of directors next year to discuss the transfer of the majority stake of 51 Guardians. I always feel that many people may have opinions. "

Gao Yang said: "It's normal to have opinions, but I've already thought about this matter, it must be arranged like this..."

On the morning of August 8, the President's Office convened the company's senior management to hold an enlarged meeting of the Board of Directors.

Gao Yang announced a series of adjustments such as selling the majority stake in 51 Guardians, stopping the planned browser project, and preparing to invest in a news website, and then explained.

In the conference room, the eyeballs of the floor were indeed shocked.

Jin Yang was the first to comment:

"Mr. Gao, to be honest, I don't think it's appropriate for 51 Group to give up such a good traffic project as 51 Guardian.

According to Mr. Liu's previous suggestion of 51 Guardians, to develop a traffic product similar to 369 Safe Browser, 51 Guardians has worked hard for about three years, and it can actually reach the level of going public on NASDAQ for financing.

Once it can be listed on Nasdaq, this project can have a valuation of at least 30 billion US dollars.

Mr. Gao has always advocated that the companies of the 51 Group should not engage in VIE construction or choose to list on US stocks. To be honest, I don't quite understand it.

Because in doing so, we give up a lot of benefits.

Today is just right, I will use this enlarged meeting of the board of directors to propose it, let's discuss it..."

Jin Yang has always advocated that 51 Group's Internet projects should go to NASDAQ for IPO, and the one that is mature will be listed.

In the past, due to his old classmate relationship with Gao Yang and Gao Yang's absolute prestige in the company, it was not convenient for Jin Yang to speak out publicly.

As soon as Jin Yang opened his mouth, Fang Jian, Zhou Wenbin, Chen Sen, He Guangwen and others felt their hearts thump.

This was the first time that Jin Yang called Gao Yang Mr. Gao in an internal meeting, expressing his inner dissatisfaction with superficial respect.

Faced with Jin Yang's public doubts, Gao Yang just smiled slightly: "I can understand the opinions expressed by President Jin just now. 51 Group is planning to make a major adjustment in the platform project this time. On the surface, it will indeed lose a lot of benefits. , what do you think, let’s talk about it.”

Next, Wu Bo, Sun Chengyi, He Guangwen, Zhou Wenbin, Zhang Xuan, Wu Ruohan, Lu Yanran, He Shan, Chen Sen...

A group of senior executives of the company spoke one after another. Some agreed with Jin Yang's point of view, while others agreed with Gao Yang's arrangement.

After that, Zhang Xiaolong, Fang Siwen, Chen Hua, Zhang Yiming, Zhang Yue, Zhao Yongchun, Zhao Lei...

Gu Yawen didn't speak, but counted silently in her heart. The results showed that about 60% of the people agreed with Jin Yang's opinion.

Gu Yawen sighed inwardly, no surprises, this time the expanded meeting of the board of directors really exploded again.

When the directors and executives spoke, Gao Yang kept smiling and listened carefully.

No one spoke anymore, Gao Yang suddenly asked with a smile: "Jin Yang, of all of us here today, only you have lived abroad. You have studied abroad at Cambridge University in England for a year and a half. During your life in England, did you What does it feel like to be a second-class or even a third-class citizen?"

Jin Yang said in astonishment: "No, I feel fine. Besides, I have not been naturalized in England, so I can't be considered a citizen."

Gao Yang's face suddenly became serious:

"My uncle Wu Fei, an associate professor with a Ph.D. in economics from Columbia University, has been naturalized in the United States for several years. He and my sister-in-law have lived in the United States for more than ten years, and they also gave birth to two children who are already naturalized in the United States.

I asked my elder brother and sister-in-law this question. Europeans and Americans, especially those who are of blood, have always had the concept of white supremacy. In this regard, my elder brother, sister-in-law and family have a deep feeling.

That's right, many companies in China, especially Internet companies, like to go to the US stock market to issue depositary receipts to achieve IPO financing.

During the US stock IPO, I had in-depth exchanges with Mr. Ding of Yiwang and Mr. Li of Baidu.

What everyone does not know is that for domestic companies to go public in the U.S. stock market, Huaxia and the United States have been negotiating an agreement on accounting cross-border law enforcement cooperation. For some Huaxia companies that go public in the U.S. for financing, the audit papers may involve state-level secrets , such as industry data and other information.

Wall Street is indeed the most concentrated capital in the world, and it has also created the largest and most developed capital market in the world, the U.S. stock market.

Today, I want to tell you that the Internet is different from traditional industries. The user traffic of the Internet is behind the user information data. In the future, these data will be one of the core values ​​of the Internet industry.

Companies like Yiwang and Baidu are called Chinese concept stocks in the U.S. stock market. The SEC, the regulator of the U.S. stock market, does not require China concept stock companies to provide relevant audit papers as strictly as their local companies.

As I said just now, shortly after Huaxia joined the WTO, the two countries began to negotiate on accounting and law enforcement cooperation, and they have been negotiating all the time.

51 Group's current platform projects have a total of nearly 5 million registered users. Regardless of the coincidence factor, that is hundreds of millions of people.

In order to facilitate management, we required real-name registration in the background from the beginning. These user information data are a huge wealth for 51 Group and have a very high strategic value.

If we design a VIE structure and promote one project after another to be listed on the US stock market for financing, it is indeed a shortcut, and it will also make everyone here become billionaires overnight.

However, after all, there will be related risks in the future. If we go public on Nasdaq, the SEC will suddenly issue a policy in the future, requiring us to provide domestic audit papers, otherwise we will be delisted.

And if we provide these audit papers, it may damage the national interest, or directly violate the national policy. At that time, what should we do?
Everyone, please think about it..."

Gao Yang was talking about the long-term issue, and it involved a lot of professional accounting knowledge. Those who didn't understand looked at a loss. Zhao Lei and Wu Ruohan, both certified public accountants, fell into deep thought.

Jin Yang said in a daze: "Gao Yang, we know that you see things far-sighted, but it's not so serious, right?"
