Chapter 505 Bundling
"We are the most powerful investment company in Silicon Valley. If you cooperate with us, Himalaya Radio can go public this year!"

"I want to see your general manager. We are Franklin Asset Management!"

When Larson entered the office, he saw a large group of people gathered at the door of Himalaya Radio's office, all clamoring to see the general manager, founder, etc. of Himalaya Radio.

These are investors from Silicon Valley, Wall Street, and various states in America who have heard the news. Given the current performance of Himalaya Radio, it is naturally "attracting bees and butterflies."

With over 3 million registered users, over 1 million daily website hits, and over 3.2 million monthly platform revenue, Himalaya Radio's performance is already attractive enough, even surpassing the performance of Netscape and Yahoo, which have already gone public or are about to go public, when they were first launched.

Anyone can see that Himalaya Radio has become a hot commodity, so naturally someone will come and get a piece of the pie.

Although these investment companies are mixed, some are truly powerful while others just want to take advantage of the opportunity to acquire Himalaya Radio’s equity and cash out at a high price after the listing, it can also be seen how popular Himalaya Radio is now!
Larson entered the office under the guidance of the security guard. He saw that the Himalaya Silicon Valley office, which he had not visited for more than a month, had completely changed.

The number of office workers in the office was more than double the number Larson had seen before. The entire office was busy and the phone was ringing one after another without stopping.

But Larson was not annoyed by these ringing sounds. Instead, he felt that they were wonderful, just like the sound of dollars...

"plum!"

Larson went straight to Li Dongling's office and saw Li Dongling was on the phone.

After Li Dongling hung up the phone, Larson walked up to him and asked him with a burning gaze, "Is Himalaya Radio a success?"

Li Dongling laughed after listening to Larson's words and poured him a cup of coffee. Larson made an indelible contribution during this period. The fact that Himalaya Radio could recruit so many podcast creators and become so popular was inseparable from Larson's hype.

"That's the theory, but there's still some work to do before it can go public!"

But after hearing this, Larson still had a look of joy on his face. Once Feiyan Technology is successfully listed, Larson's net worth will also skyrocket.

Li Dongling agreed to give Larson 0.2 of Feiyan Technology's shares, and also let him join Feiyan Technology as the legal manager, and hand over Himalaya and Feiyan Technology's North American legal affairs to Larson's law firm. This means that huge amounts of dollars will flow into Larson's pocket. How can he not be excited!

"What's next for financing Himalaya Radio?" Larson sat down and took a sip of coffee.

Li Dongling nodded, then shook his head, "We need to raise funds, but not for Himalaya Radio, but for Feiyan Technology!

The company that will be listed on NASDAQ this time is Hanxi Feiyan Technology Company! "

"It's all the same..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Larson suddenly reacted and took a breath. He suddenly understood why Li Dongling emphasized this sentence.

If the company only raises funds for Himalaya Radio, the valuation would at most be a few hundred million dollars. After all, the market is like this. It is not yet the time in a few years, during the Internet craze, when an Internet company will be valued at tens of billions of dollars.

Companies like Netscape and the soon-to-be-listed Yahoo also went public with valuations of several hundred million dollars.

However, once Feiyan Technology, the parent company of Himalaya Radio, goes public as a whole, its valuation will definitely not be just a few hundred million dollars.

After all, Himalaya Radio can only be regarded as the "sideline" of Feiyan Technology. Although the popularity of this sideline is now greater than that of the main business and the parent company, Li Dongling wants to list Himalaya Radio together with Feiyan Technology...

In addition to its side business, Feiyan Technology also has a main business of making mini radios, and it is a main business with an annual revenue of US$7.96 million and a net profit of US$1.764 million!

In other words, if Feiyan Technology is listed as a whole, it is unknown whether the sideline business of Himalaya Radio will make money, but by using the name of Himalaya Radio, Feiyan Technology will become the most profitable Internet company in the global Internet industry. By then, will there be any fear that the stock price will not rise? !

"shit!"

"This idea is so damn genius!"

Larson exclaimed in amazement several times. He already fully understood Li Dongling's idea of ​​operating Himalaya Radio and Feiyan Technology. After understanding it, Larson couldn't help but marvel at the ingenuity of this plan.

The radio business has long been unpopular, but no matter whether it is a mini radio or an emergency radio, they are all yesterday's news and are not favored by Wall Street, but it does not prevent it from making money. The mini radio can last for another ten years! The radio business is not profitable, but after launching Himalaya Radio, Feiyan Technology has become an Internet concept stock. It was listed as an Internet company, and it has the revenue of mini radios. Feiyan Technology has both face and substance. As long as Wall Street institutions cooperate in speculation, it is difficult for the stock price not to soar!
Next, Larson will need to deal with legal issues. Li Dongling naturally does not need to hide anything from him. Moreover, the bundled listing approach will require negotiations with Sequoia Capital and Wall Street institutions soon, and it cannot be hidden from those shrewd people.

"Have you found anyone who is willing to endorse Feiyan Technology?" Li Dongling asked Larson.

If Feiyan Technology and Dongling Hi-Tech want to gain a foothold in America and reap profits on the Nasdaq, they must have the endorsement of powerful figures. Otherwise, they will be like meat on the chopping board, and no one knows when they will be cut off.

There is a person who endorses Dongling Hi-Tech. We don’t expect him to be able to preserve the entire Dongling Hi-Tech, but at least there is someone who can tip off the company. Otherwise, if he is blind and something goes wrong, we won’t know who is targeting us.

“With the current popularity of Himalaya Radio, it is not difficult to find a state legislator or even a congressman on Capitol Hill to endorse it!”

Larson laughed, then restrained his expression, "But it's not so easy to find a suitable person to endorse Feiyan Technology!"

"This is Johnny Reed, the Donkey Party's congressman in New York City!"

Larson took out a piece of information and pushed it to Li Dongling. Li Dongling looked through the information. Reed was 43 years old this year, which was the prime of his life. He was also a member of the young faction within the Donkey Party.

America's Silicon Valley technology and Internet, Hollywood entertainment, Wall Street and other industries are all part of the Democratic Party's base. New York itself is a hardcore Democratic Party stronghold, and so is California. These two states are known as the Democratic Party's money bags and vote bases.

The supporters and endorsers behind Silicon Valley technology and Internet companies are basically Donald Trump figures. Larson naturally chose a Donald Trump figure as the endorser of Feiyan Technology.

After looking at the information for a few times, Li Dongling put it aside. To be honest, he couldn't tell anything from the information alone. Johnny Reed was born into a middle-class family in South Carolina. His father was the manager of a textile factory and his mother was a figure in the Federal Post Office.

After graduating from college, he studied law in New York and later worked as a lawyer. He had a high winning rate in lawsuits, but was also criticized by outsiders for only taking cases that he was sure of winning.

The most famous lawsuit Reed fought was about a drainage company whose equipment malfunctioned a few years ago, causing a girl to be seriously injured. After Reed represented the case, he refused to settle and eventually asked the company to compensate the girl's family $2500 million. This made Reed famous overnight and became a representative of justice!
As a result, Reed successfully entered the American federal career. Lawyers, doctors, and teachers in America are the easiest professions to change their identities, and Reed is no exception.

"I've dealt with Reed a little bit, and this guy has a perfect image in the media, a perfect career, a perfect family, but..."

Larson said mysteriously to Li Dongling, "But there is no cat that doesn't steal fish in the world. I heard rumors that Reed has a secret lover who even gave birth to an illegitimate daughter for him!"

"Larson!"

Li Dongling knocked on the table to remind Larson who was going off the track. Although the gossip was indeed interesting, it was not what Li Dongling cared about. "How is Reed's career? Can he serve as a consultant for Feiyan Technology and endorse Feiyan Technology?"

Larson saw that Li Dongling was not interested in these gossips and showed a regretful expression. "He is highly valued by the Donkey Party. He also has a very good relationship with the next candidate nominated by the Donkey Party to compete for the position of President. Rumor has it that he has a good chance of becoming a senator from New York State in the future!"

"The endorsement should be no problem, but Reed is very concerned about his image in the outside world. I'm afraid that before he accepts the consultant position of Feiyan Technology, he needs you to meet him in person!"

Li Dongling looked at Reed's information, pondered for a moment, and then nodded, "I will meet him in New York after I finish my work here!"

……

"Mr. Li, there are many Silicon Valley venture capital firms, Internet companies, and Wall Street institutions that want to invest in Himalaya Radio!"

Zhou Hualiang came to Li Dongling's office and handed a list to Li Dongling. Now all the staff in the Silicon Valley office are full of enthusiasm. Once Himalaya Radio goes public, they will definitely get part of the equity rewards, and their net worth will skyrocket.

The list that Zhou Hualiang handed over to Li Dongling was a list of companies that wanted to invest in Himalaya Radio. The names marked among them were the companies selected as the strongest and most promising to invest in Himalaya Radio.

Li Dongling reviewed the list, which included many well-known investment companies. However, after looking at it, Li Dongling only circled three companies on the list.

Zhou Hualiang saw that the three companies were Netscape, Yahoo, and Sequoia Capital!
“Which institution on Wall Street is most sincere to Himalaya Radio?”

Hearing Li Dongling's words, Zhou Hualiang said without hesitation, "Citibank!"
