Our Rise Era

Chapter 288: The Second Listed Company

Chapter 288 The first listed company...

July 2014.

For the entire Chinese Internet.

This is the most exciting month. Alibaba.com went public in the United States, creating an unprecedented large IPO.

Countless people witnessed this miracle.

Countless people's eyes gradually turned red.

And Sun Hongsheng is one of them.

At this moment!

He has realized that he is going to become rich!
..............................

2008 years.

[Dou Ni Video] I have experienced the most desperate year.

The surging financial crisis led to a capital winter, and brought Douni Video to the brink of collapse overnight...

Investors’ cold reception led to the resignation of nearly 1000 people…

The company's operating funds were limited, and coupled with repeated attacks from its competitor [Douni Video], it eventually found itself struggling on the edge of a cliff.

This year……

It was also the most painful year for Sun Hongsheng.

He broke up and got back together with his girlfriend, and finally got married in a flash, but the days after the flash marriage were not as painful as he thought...

That year...

This is also the most exciting year for Sun Hongsheng!
That year, he met Zhang Yang, who was just starting to gain momentum, and acquired 30% of the shares of [Xiaomi Mall], now the second largest e-commerce platform in China, through stock swaps.

Although Fatty Yuan later repurchased 15% of the shares, and a series of subsequent share dilutions, he still had 10% of the shares in his hands...

……

From 2008 to 2014, six years passed in a flash.

The 4G era has arrived, and the fierce battle for Internet video has also begun.

As a long-established video platform, Aiku Video has remained resilient in the past six years, acquiring a number of film, television and animation copyrights, impacting the market...

And [Dou Ni Video] is not far behind, with the rise of Zhang Yang...

With the huge increase in traffic from the cooperation between [Xun Teng Technology] and [Xun Teng Mall], [Douni Video] also received a portion of the traffic injection from [Xun Teng Technology]!

In the past six years, the number of registered users of [Douni Video] has reached 6 million, and the daily playback traffic has exceeded 3.2 million. Compared with [Aiku Video]'s 9 million, it has already occupied an overwhelming advantage.

According to the data, among users who have used online videos in the past six months, 63% of them have used Douni Video, ranking first among Chinese videos...

……

Each piece of data seems to indicate one thing.

That is……

Competition in the 4G era!
[Bean Paste Video] has stood out!
However, in October, the clear and loud bell that Jack Ma rang at the New York Stock Exchange kept Sun Hongsheng awake all night and made him so excited that he was going crazy!
He realized that the time to go public had come!
He has been preparing for this day for more than a year!
....................................

“How is the download volume of video apps?”

"Mr. Zhang, thanks to your influence and the amazing popularity of [Wheat A2], the download volume of our [Bean Paste Video] APP has exceeded 5000 million!"

The sun shines on Sun Hongsheng's face.

Sun Hongsheng took a deep breath and stared silently at the sales volume of [Wheat A2] on the table.

These days, he keeps an eye on the sales of [Wheat A2] every day...

In just 15 days, the sales of [Wheat A2] in China exceeded 3000 million units, breaking the sales record of any new product of any brand.

Although the number of deliveries is not large, only more than 200 million units, but for every delivery, one [Douni Video] APP is downloaded. For Sun Hongsheng, this is a hardware boost that completely beats [Aiku Video]!

"Oh!"

"Mr. Zhang, to be honest, I have been preparing for the IPO this year. I have also participated in several roadshows, and the feedback from various investors has been very good..." Sun Hongsheng looked at Zhang Yang who was still calm. He finally stared at Zhang Yang with fiery eyes: "【Aiku Video】 is also preparing for the IPO and is preparing to raise money in Europe and the United States. Especially in October, he talked with many institutions and investors... If they get ahead of us in the IPO in Europe and the United States, then 【Aiku Video】 will get huge traffic, and we..."

Facing Sun Hongsheng's excitement, Zhang Yang acted very calmly. He did not respond, but looked at Sun Hongsheng with a smile, and changed the subject slightly: "Mr. Sun, how is your divorce with your wife going?"

Sun Hongsheng's excited expression dimmed a little: "It's being processed. She's in a cold war with me, but she refuses to divorce me..."

"Does your wife have shares in [Douni Video]?" Zhang Yang narrowed his eyes and stared at Sun Hongsheng.

Sun Hongsheng paused for a moment when asked this question, and shook his head after a moment: "In 08, I listened to your advice and signed a prenuptial agreement about [Dou Ni Video] before marriage. [Dou Ni Video] is prenuptial property... It will not affect the listing. However, it is precisely because of this prenuptial agreement that she wants to divorce me..."

Zhang Yang nodded after listening to it: "Did you bring the agreement?"

"Bring it."

Sun Hongsheng silently handed an agreement to Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang took a quick look at it and handed it to the lawyer for review.

"Mr. Zhang, you now hold 30% of the shares of [Douni Video]. [Xun Teng Technology] took 09% of our [Douni Video] shares in 25. I now hold 25% of the shares. Several founders who started the business with me hold 20%. On the surface, I am the legal representative of [Douni Video], but secretly, you are the major shareholder of [Douni Video]..." Sun Hongsheng took a deep breath: "Mr. Zhang, we have invested a lot of money in [Douni Video] over the years. You should know that if [Douni Video] can go public, the returns we can get will be beyond imagination..."

Sun Hongsheng stared at Zhang Yang closely.

The listing of [Ali Langlang]…

This has led to global capital developing a strong interest in China's Internet companies.

On the surface, the biggest protagonist is Jack Ma.

But in fact……

Capital's interest in the company behind Zhang Yang is even stronger than that of [Ali Langlang]...

He has e-commerce, food delivery, video, taxi-hailing apps, and a technology company...

Every single one!
They are all standing at the forefront of the future!

In fact...

[Douni Video] During this period, we also received many calls from investors.

They are very interested in [Bean Mud Video]...

However, Sun Hongsheng knew very well that these investors came to him only after they encountered setbacks with Zhang Yang.

There is a huge gold mine right in front of him, and he can earn billions or even tens of billions of dollars just by nodding his head, but Zhang Yang has a very strange attitude.

There was no outright rejection, but he didn't immediately accept the olive branch, just said he needed to consider it...

This attitude made Sun Hongsheng a little anxious.

Finally came to find Zhang Yang.

If it is listed ahead of time by Aiku Video, then this huge wave of traffic will be gone!

"What do you want me to do?" Zhang Yang slowly made tea for Sun Hongsheng, his voice still calm.

"Mr. Zhang, I just hope you can nod your head... I've asked Mr. Ma about [Xun Teng Technology], and he has no objection. Now, I'm just waiting for you..." Sun Hongsheng took a sip of the tea, not caring whether it was hot or not, and said impatiently. At this moment...

Zhang Yang is the major shareholder.

Moreover, it seems that he has absolute say in the entire circle.

If Zhang Yang didn't nod, even if he pulled out all his hair, it would still be useless.

Zhang Yang did not respond.

He took a sip of tea and looked out the window.

Time passes little by little...

Sun Hongsheng gradually felt uneasy, but he didn't dare to disturb Zhang Yang at this time.

About ten minutes later...

Zhang Yang laughed.

"Mr. Sun..."

"You say……"

"I can't reply to you now, please wait a little longer!"

"Mr. Zhang, if Aiku Video is better than us..."

"Wait!"

"..."

After hearing that Zhang Yang's smile had disappeared, Sun Hongsheng lowered his head and said, "Okay, Mr. Zhang, I'll wait for you..."

"Go!"

Sun Hongsheng nodded and left Zhang Yang's office silently.

After Sun Hongsheng left the office...

Zhang Yang took out his cell phone and made a call.

"Check [Dou Ni Video], I want detailed information! The more detailed the better, especially the equity structure, especially check Mr. Sun's marital status..."

..............................

10 month 20 day.

Under the watchful eyes of the public, the sales volume of [Xiaomi A2] exceeded 3500 million units, setting an unprecedented record, and the number of deliveries also exceeded 500 million units...

With the crazy sales of [Wheat A2]...

New Internet apps such as [Dou Ni Video], [Extreme Takeaway] and [WeChat] have also seen a huge explosion in installations...

Even Android phones restrict these software.

But it still didn't affect the popularity.

……

"Well, I will continue to guard China..."

"rest assured!"

"I know. I know that Mr. Zhang's company is very high-quality..."

"..."

Capital from across the ocean...

He stared at the series of industries headed by Zhang Yang with envy.

After Jason from JP Morgan received the call from the American, he felt a little frustrated.

Although he is a business staff member of JP Morgan, he is not a core staff member.

However, his coming to China also represents the attitude of JP Morgan!

What is JP Morgan?
It is one of the top ten investment banks in the world and the most watched and sought-after capital in the entire American capital market!

Even people like Jack Ma extended their hands and welcomed them warmly.

However, Zhang Yang encountered a setback.

This young man from China seemed to be very wary of the "capital" market. Although he remained polite, his attitude towards them was limited to politeness...

Neither refuse nor agree!
Even Jason feels weird sometimes!
Doesn't this guy like money?
……

in the hotel.

Jason stared silently at each of Zhang Yang's businesses.

He was a little bitter.

The capital of Jack Ma's Alibaba is very complex, with a lot of foreign capital. In a sense, Jack Ma does not even have absolute control over the company.

But, Zhang Yang...

Jason closed his eyes.

This person is so clean!
Incredibly clean!

And those collaborators centered around Zhang Yang...

They seem to be legal persons, but they have no say.

"I'm not interested in money, I just enjoy the entrepreneurial process!"

Jason stared at the video of Zhang Yang's early entrepreneurial journey.

Very pretentious!
That’s bullshit too!

Especially the way he pushes up his glasses, it makes me want to slap him hard.

When I heard this, I suddenly felt a little bit unconfident.

Does this guy really not like money?
madman?

still is……
