Chapter 257: The Winter of the Internet
Chapter 257 The Winter of the Internet
"Brother, do you have any basis for your judgment?"
Hu Yang knew that Chen Jialin would ask this question, so he explained patiently: "Look, the Asian financial crisis has been raging for more than a year, and Hong Kong's economy has actually been dragged down to a great extent. Then came the burst of the global Internet bubble.
, does it take time to revive the economy? Therefore, I judge that the bottom rebound of the Hong Kong property market will not be in 2002, but in 2003."
Chen Jialin felt that the basis for Populus euphratica was not very sufficient, but to be able to tell the origin of Zi Wu Yin Mao was not just talking nonsense.
In the end, Chen Jialin decided to trust Hu Yang's judgment and planned to wait and see for another year or two.
"Brother Hu, what's going on with your assistant? He seems to be a little special to you."
Today's trip to the sea was purely a private party. Of course Hu Yang did not bring Lin Yan. However, Chen Jialin had seen Lin Yan more than once and always felt that there might be something going on between Hu Yang and her.
"You guys are still such a bitch."
Hu Yang laughed and didn't even bother to explain to Chen Jialin that Mr. Chen is a type of person who is more laissez-faire in his private life, and he really can't compare with him in this regard.
"Hehe, Assistant Lin is pretty good, and she's not your employee. Don't worry about people saying you're a rabbit eating grass from the edge of the nest."
Lin Yan is Hu Yang's personal assistant, but she is also officially in the company. Chen Jialin's plan is simply unreasonable.
Besides, if Hu Yang really means that, he won't care about these things. People can't indulge themselves too much, but they can't turn themselves into ascetics, right?
"You! You called so many beauties to come out to play today, and you have the strength to attack them. Don't keep grinding your teeth with me here."
"Look, look, you can't make a joke, right? Otherwise, you have a guilty conscience. Haha, no more, no more, let's talk about something serious. I asked the finance department to make an estimate before.
Shi Technology’s revenue is about 5.4 billion yuan, and its net profit is 1.6 billion yuan.
From the establishment of Nishite Technology to the present, including the profits converted into equity capital, our total net profit has exceeded 5 billion."
Chen Jialin had previously thought about paying dividends, so he asked the finance department to make a prediction in advance. This data was not very accurate, but it would not be too biased.
Calculated based on this value, the company's equity capital is 2.6 billion yuan. By the end of this year, the accumulated net profit alone will be equivalent to making two Nushi Technology.
Hu Yang nodded with a smile, grabbed a pack of cigarettes on the table and threw it to Chen Jialin. He still had a pack in his hand, and then they both lit one.
"Mr. Chen, at this stage, revenue and net profit will grow very fast. I estimate that the compound growth rate of various indicators of the company will be more than 30%. Just wait, revenue and net profit will both exceed 100
The day may come one day or another.”
The "double over 100" mentioned by Hu Yang means that both revenue and net profit exceed 10 billion yuan. This goal may sound a bit high, but he believes that it may be achieved within a few years.
"Yes, I have always been very confident in our Nushi Technology. I said, we are not here to hold a board meeting today, are we? That's all the business is about. Let's eat and drink first, and then we will all have a good time.
..."
The yacht Hu Yang can accommodate twenty people without being too crowded at all.
The cabin not only has a living room, dining room, kitchen, and bedrooms. The 63-meter yacht already belongs to the category of medium and large yachts, and all facilities are complete.
Of course, Hu Yang also knew that the gap between this yacht and the superyachts of the previous life would be huge. He remembered that there was a yacht owned by a Russian rich man at that time, worth 1.2 billion U.S. dollars. The yacht not only had its own swimming pool, but also had a parking system.
Ping and helicopter.
Hu Yang does not pursue these things. He bought this yacht not only for leisure but also as a social platform when appropriate.
"Let's go in and eat. Mr. Chen, you can take it easy while you drink. Don't get yourself drunk. You're still having fun when you're drunk."
As Hu Yang said, he got up and entered the cabin. Today there will be a sumptuous seafood dinner at noon, including Boston lobster, caviar, Australian abalone, tuna, etc.
Of course, there is also French red wine that makes people drunk.
Food, wine, beautiful scenery, beauties...all these enhance the atmosphere on the yacht.
At noon the next day, the yacht returned to Xiangjiang Pier.
Hu Yang and Chen Jialin’s short vacation has come to an end.
Back in the deep sea, Hu Yang unexpectedly received a call from Xiao Ma.
"Mr. Hu, the company's application for listing has been submitted. It's hard to say whether it will be successful or not. The success or failure is probably between 50 and 50. Now there is such a thing. An investment institution came to me and they said
South African banks are very interested in the development of our company and want to buy some shares from shareholders."
The news brought by Xiaoma is not surprising. In the previous life, Li Kaize and idgg were the first investors to invest in Shenzhen Soar. Later, South African banks also stepped in and not only acquired some of the shares of Xiaoma's partners, but also acquired the shares held by idgg.
Most of the shares.
Hu Yang didn't know if others didn't regret it later, but he knew that if he transferred his shares in "Penguin Empire", he would definitely regret it in the future.
"Mr. Ma, I have great confidence in you and Shenhai Tengfei. I will not sell my equity to anyone. Well, let me tell you more, I will not sell it for any money."
Hu Yang neatly refused the acquisition of shares, and Xiao Ma immediately changed the topic, chatted about some of the company's newly developed products, and then hung up.
Just kidding, how can you sell 20% of the shares of "Penguin Empire" now? Don't even think about it. However, looking at this call from Xiaoma, Hu Yang realized that Deep Sea Tengfei's funds may be tight again.
"Mr. Xu, has there been any progress regarding Shenzhen Tengfei's listing on the Stock Exchange? If possible, try to speed up the process."
Hu Yang thought for a while and then called Xu Younian. He estimated that Xiaoma was not planning to increase capital and expand shares for the time being, so it would be best to go public directly in one step.
Xu Younian was a little confused when he received the call. Shouldn't he first go all out to support the listing of "Xintong International"? He knew that his boss had invested huge sums of money in Xintong International, so during this period, he
Seventy percent of the energy at work is devoted to this.
However, Xintong International's affairs are relatively complicated. Judging only from the information that has been reported so far, its road to listing will inevitably have twists and turns.
If we really want to compare, it may be relatively easy to turn around and fully support the listing of "Deep Sea Takeoff" now.
"Okay, Mr. Hu, I know what to do next."
Xu Younian was not a newbie in the workplace. He knew that his boss had his reasons for such an arrangement, so he immediately agreed with a clear attitude.
Hu Yang put down the phone and nodded secretly. Xu Younian may be slightly inferior to Mu Shaoqing in terms of ability, but he is the most reliable to use. To a certain extent, maintaining success and pioneering are equally important.
Soon, another good news came from Deep Sea Takeoff: Penguin’s registered users unstoppably exceeded the 10 million mark.
This is certainly good news, but what is embarrassing is that the company's profitability still has not substantially improved.
Therefore, although Shenhai Tengfei's "Penguin" product has begun to attract widespread attention from the domestic public, it has reached the threshold of listing on the Stock Exchange, but has been unable to cross it.
This stage is a kind of suffering for Xiao Ma, and for Populus euphratica, it is a helplessness that cannot be exerted.
Deepsea Tengfei lacks cash flow, and Hu Yang is willing to increase investment. The problem is that Li Kaize does not agree. Deepsea Tengfei's original shareholders also have doubts, and Hu Yang does not want to give an inexplicably high valuation now.
Behind the crazy growth in the number of registered users is the exponential increase in server hosting costs. In Xiao Ma's words, he is now so anxious that he is talking a lot.
"It's difficult! I also thought about continuing to raise funds from Mr. Hu, but there are many conditions that restrict my ideas. I don't know what Mr. Li thinks. He firmly disagrees with increasing capital and shares."
The only person who could help Xiao Ma was Populus euphratica. This time, the two of them did not go to the food stalls on the street. Populus euphratica treated the guests, and the group came to a Brazilian barbecue restaurant.
This shop's business has always been booming, but there are no private rooms, so Hu Yang simply booked the entire second floor.
This was not because he meant to show off, but because he wanted to have a quiet and quiet conversation with this arrogant young man.
Hu Yang and Xiao Ma sat at a table near the window. Han Wen and others sat at another table a little further away to eat and drink. Lin Yan came over from time to time to serve the boss.
"Mr. Ma, the current overall environment is not good. The Internet's cold winter is not just talk. No one has any confidence in investing money again. If I am the only one participating in the capital increase and share expansion, I will not be able to do it if the valuation is too high. The valuation
If it's lower, doesn't it mean that everyone's rights and interests will be diluted? So, don't blame Mr. Li. As the saying goes, there are always more solutions than difficulties. If you think more, you will find a solution."
Hu Yang has been keeping a close eye on the financial situation of Shenhai Tengfei. If there are signs of collapse, he will take action. But he has not reached that point yet, and he does not want to act rashly. After all, this is not his business alone, and many people are involved.
The interests of the few.
For example, Li Kaize of Yingdong Telecom, or those partners of Xiaoma.
"I hope so. Come on, Mr. Hu, let me toast you." Xiao Ma and Hu Yang touched each other, drank down the wine in their glasses, and then continued: "When we first started our business, everyone was very energetic.
As time goes by, especially when the company gets its first investment, some people's ideas will change. Now, there is a shareholder who wants to sell his shares. He has already told you what I told you last time.
I have contacted several institutions. However, the other party thought that the shares in his hands were too small, so they have not agreed."
After saying that, Xiao Ma looked at Populus euphratica.
There are some words that don’t need to be said clearly. Hu Yang also knew what he meant, so he smiled and said: "How much does he offer? If it is not outrageous, you can transfer it to me."
