Reborn since 1993

Chapter 506 Secretly assassinating Chen Cang
On the Wall Street side, there are naturally many investment banks that want to invest in Himalaya Radio, but the big promises drawn by those companies are enough to fool other companies, but it doesn’t work for Li Dongling, who is a master at drawing big promises himself.

It is said that Li Dongling had experienced all kinds of pie in the sky in his previous life: Boss Jia who is returning to China next week, Luckin Coffee which is treating everyone in China to a cup of coffee, and a certain shared bicycle company that requires who knows how many hundreds of years of waiting before the deposit is refunded. Which pie in the sky is not tempting?
"The investment department of Citibank is the most active investor in Himalaya Radio. Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs and others are also interested in investing!"

Zhou Hualiang said to Li Dongling that he didn't dare to speak carelessly or add his own subjective opinions on such matters. This round of financing might involve tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars. It was not something he could add to the story. He could only report truthfully.

After hearing this, Li Dongling thought about it for a moment and knew what was going on. Among all the banks and investment banks on Wall Street, the most active one towards the domestic market is basically Citibank.

Citibank was the first American bank to enter China. It now has offices in Hong Kong and Shanghai. There are even rumors that it will establish its headquarters in China.

As for Feiyan Technology and Dongling Hi-Tech, Citi is probably the one that knows the most about them in America, and is naturally the most active Wall Street institution this time.

"This time, Ximalaya Radio and Feiyan Technology invited four companies, including Sequoia Capital, Citigroup, Yahoo, and Netscape, to raise funds!"

Li Dongling said to Zhou Hualiang that although there were four companies, the ones who really wanted to cooperate were Sequoia Capital and Citi.

These two companies, one represents Silicon Valley venture capital, and the other represents Wall Street. With the support from both sides, it is enough for Feiyan Technology to complete its listing by bundling with Himalaya.

This time we will see how many chips we can get!
"According to sources, Himalaya Radio will complete financing in the near future. It is not clear which venture capital company Himalaya Radio will cooperate with.

But there are rumors that the manager of Citibank's investment banking department has gone to Silicon Valley, probably to participate in the investment in Himalaya!"

Himalaya Radio is now the focus of media in China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and other places. After the news came out from the media in America, the news was quickly reprinted and reported by Hong Kong Phoenix TV, TVB, ATV and other TV media.

As soon as the Hong Kong media reported the news, media in Guangdong Province, Yanjing, Shanghai and other places also reprinted it, making the already noisy Internet rumors in the country even more rampant.

As for Gangcheng, which has not yet experienced the ruin of Gangcheng Internet by the Changjiang Li family, it is also very concerned about Himalaya Radio. If Himalaya Radio is successfully listed, Gangcheng is expected to set off a wave of Internet investment.

……

"Mr. Moritz, may I ask if Sequoia Capital is going to invest in Himalaya Radio?"

“How much US dollars is Sequoia Capital prepared to invest in Himalaya Radio?”

Moritz arrived at the office building of Himalaya Radio. After getting off the car, he was surrounded by reporters and media who were waiting downstairs and asked him all kinds of questions.

“Sequoia Capital is certainly willing to invest in Himalaya Radio. Sequoia Capital has always hoped to support potential startups.

HP, Apple, Cisco, Yahoo, etc. are all like this, and now Himalaya Radio is no exception. This is not only to support Himalaya Radio, but also to support more people to realize the American dream! "

Moritz had a smile on his face and praised Himalaya Radio highly, which was completely different from when he first met Li Dongling and claimed that he wanted to inspect Himalaya Radio.

As time goes by, one "lucky one" after another appears on Himalaya Radio. Now Himalaya Radio has shown some signs of fanaticism. From already famous NBA stars, Hollywood stars, and small models to housewives, unknown rappers, and literary young people, all have flocked to Himalaya Radio.

Himalaya Radio has become an opportunity for countless people to realize their American dreams. It seems that becoming famous overnight or getting rich overnight can be achieved through it. It is comparable to the wishing lantern in Arabian mythology.

Up to now, Himalaya Radio no longer needs to hire internet trolls. Some people have spontaneously begun to praise and protect Himalaya Radio, and regard it as a spiritual pillar.

Just like a salesman in a sales company, who hopes to become a gold medal salesman one day and achieve a leap in net worth, status and class, anyone who dares to question Himalaya Radio now, and those who want to make a comeback by relying on Himalaya, will be the first to get angry!
Himalaya Radio is the most special Internet company Moritz has ever seen. If I were to describe it in one word, it would be the Internet version of the gold rush, just like the gold rush in the American West.

Even many people go to the Himalaya Radio website not as users, but purely to see if there is an opportunity to make money.

It is hard to say how long this craze will last, but the heat is really frighteningly high, and it can continue to increase, especially when it is linked to the US dollar.

Just look at how many people were attracted during the Gold Rush era in the American West, and then look at how many people bought lottery tickets every day in order to get rich overnight, and you can imagine how popular Himalaya Radio is today!
When walking into the Himalaya Radio office, Moritz took a deep breath. If you ask him whether he regrets it now, I guess only he knows.

If Moritz had invested in Himalaya Radio on behalf of Sequoia Capital when Li Dongling mentioned the Himalaya project to him, then when he came here today, he would probably be praised to the sky by the media, and it would become another classic case of his discerning eye for pearls! No matter what he thought in his heart, it was useless to regret it now. Moritz knew that the key was not to miss the investment in Himalaya Radio.

When he walked into the conference room, Moritz saw several familiar faces, including Jim Clark from Netscape, Yang Zhiyuan and Kugel from Yahoo.

In the corner of the conference room, Li Dongling seemed to be having a pleasant conversation with someone. When he saw Moritz coming in, Li Dongling nodded to him.

"Li, Citibank's company in Shanghai has long been paying attention to Dongling Hi-Tech and has reported Dongling Hi-Tech to the headquarters many times. It's a pity that there has never been an opportunity for cooperation!"

The person who was talking to Li Dongling was Dickson, the manager of Citibank's investment department. From his words, he seemed to regret that Citibank had not invested in Dongling Hi-Tech earlier.

Whether what Dixon said was true or false, only he himself knew. Citi's company in the inland had indeed paid attention to Dongling Hi-Tech early on, but it was not just Citi that paid attention to Dongling Hi-Tech. Several other Wall Street institutions, investment companies and banks established by old Europe in Hong Kong and Shanghai had also paid attention to Dongling Hi-Tech early on.

If Citigroup had invested in Dongling Hi-Tech at that time, they would have received generous returns by now.

But this is also what makes Dixon uncomfortable. Other inland companies, including the current Chrysanthemum Factory, ZTE, Lenovo, Haier, Changhong, Yinghaiwei and other companies, are all short of money, but Dongling Hi-Tech is an exception.

Except when it was first established, Dongling Hi-Tech had not yet established a firm foothold and needed funds, the products launched by Dongling Hi-Tech afterwards were basically high-profit and best-selling products!

Up to now, Dongling Hi-Tech has become the company with the highest account cash flow among domestic private companies, without a doubt. Even if Citi wants to exchange US dollars for Dongling Hi-Tech’s equity, it has no chance!

Why is Citi so active in investing in Himalaya this time, and much more active than Goldman Sachs, Morgan, and Bear Stearns? Citi has big ambitions. It wants to use the opportunity of investing in Himalaya Radio to establish a relationship with Li Dongling, so that it will have the opportunity to intervene in other projects of Dongling Hi-Tech in the future.

"I hope this time, I can make up for your regret, Dixon!" Li Dongling said to him.

As for Li Dongling's attitude towards Dixon and Citibank, he is willing to cooperate with them and regard them as partners of interest in America. However, it is nonsense to expect people to completely believe his lies and entrust their lives and property to them!
Be it Citigroup or other Wall Street institutions, none of them are easy to deal with. It is more reliable to hope that the sun rises from the west than to expect them to be good people.

Which Wall Street institution is not ruthless? Otherwise, it would not have survived on Wall Street to this day.

But no matter how much of a jerk these Wall Street institutions are, the rules of Nasdaq are decided by Wall Street. If you want to be listed in America and reap the profits, you can't get around these institutions. No matter how bad these jerk are, you have to pick one to be the leader!

The conference room in the Himalaya Silicon Valley office building was now packed with people. Li Dongling looked at the people in the conference room. On his left were Yao Luoying, Zhou Hualiang, Lu Kui and others, and on his right were Jim Clark, Moritz, Yang Zhiyuan, Dixon and others.

Don’t be fooled by the harmonious attitude between the two sides now. But later, if neither side bangs the table, it will be considered as a high level of cultivation!
“I am very happy that you all came to Himalaya Radio. I believe you all know what this is all about!
This time, I invited you all here for only one thing, to raise funds for Feiyan Technology. This year, Feiyan Technology will complete its listing on NASDAQ! "Li Dongling said it very straightforwardly at the beginning. There was no need to hide it at this time.

“Shouldn’t Ximalaya Radio be the one financing Feiyan Technology?”

Jim Clark frowned. He felt that something was wrong. This was not as simple as just saying the wrong thing.

"Himalaya Radio is Feiyan Technology, and Feiyan Technology is Himalaya Radio. The two are indispensable and cannot be separated!" Li Dongling said directly.

Hearing Li Dongling's words, Jim looked a little unhappy. Thoughts flashed quickly through Moritz and Dixon's minds, and their expressions became more serious.

Only Yang Zhiyuan and Kugel's Yahoo remained unchanged. Yahoo came this time just to take advantage of the popularity and draw attention to its listing. It was enough to reach a cooperation with Himalaya Radio in name. Besides, with the presence of Li Dongling, Yahoo didn't care about whether it made a loss or not.

"Li, Feiyan Technology's radio business is not welcomed by the Nasdaq Securities Commission!" Moritz tactfully reminded Li Dongling.

"I know!"

Li Dongling's expression was still warm. "So Himalaya Radio appeared, and Feiyan Technology will be listed as an Internet company!"
