Chapter 122 It feels like watching a god [Please subscribe! ]
We just had a brief chat on the street and we got to know each other.
Wang Chengguang took out his phone, checked the time, and said with a smile, "It's almost noon, how about we have lunch together?"
"We'll discuss stock market investment when the time comes. I'll definitely go to Hong Kong Island in September, and I'll take Xiaowei with me then."
Wu Jiang coughed and said, "Okay, I'll treat you. When you get to Hong Kong Island, I'm more familiar with that place."
After that, he started talking to Roni in Cantonese again. After a quick exchange, Shao Anna and Guan Youbo, still for Roni's sake, maintained etiquette and politeness and talked about which restaurant to go to.
As they were talking, Wu Xiaowei suddenly whispered, "I was planning to buy a watch for Brother Guang, and I've already chosen it. Wait, I'll go back and buy it, and I'll buy one for you too."
Wait for Wu Xiaowei to run back to the street store.
Wu Jiang, "..."
Wu Jianggang glanced at Wang Chengguang with a hint of resentment, and Wang Chengguang smiled and said, "She helped me pick out all these clothes, shoes, belts, etc."
"I see that we are about the same height, how about I give you half randomly?"
Wu Jiang hurriedly shook his head, "No, I can buy it myself."
Then he asked curiously, "Aren't you busy? You actually have time to go shopping with a woman?"
Before Wang Chengguang could answer, Shao Anna laughed and said, "What's wrong with accompanying a woman shopping? Don't you have the ability to do this as a man? Or are you impatient?"
As she spoke, she also re-examined Wu Jiang.
Although this man is not bad looking, he is lame...
Wu Jiang shook his head. "No, I think he must be busy with work and burdened by official duties. He shouldn't have such leisure time to hang out with my sister. He is wearing all these things, and you can tell at a glance that he has been shopping for quite a while."
"For a laid-back person like me, of course I have plenty of time."
Shao Anna was curious, and looked at Wang Chengguang again seriously, then stretched out her hand and said with a smile, "Mr. Wang, I haven't asked you for advice yet, I wonder where you are?"
Wang Chengguang smiled and shook hands. "I'm with Spark Media and Spark Weibo. Have you heard of them?"
Shao Anna was shocked. "Xinghuo Media? This is the newest, fastest and most rapidly rising Internet super platform since 08. Even the development trend of Twitter in North America is lagging behind Xinghuo."
"I never thought that Mr. Wang, so young, could join such a vigorous unicorn company."
As a super investor and a large global investment bank, their group's main business is to receive customers' money and wealth and help them manage their finances by trading stocks, foreign exchange, bonds, futures, etc.
Instead of an investment group like SoftBank, it invests in unlisted start-up companies.
But Shao Anna certainly knew the horror of the spark!
This is what countless peers, peers of similar nature, have praised it as... No, it is the separate Xinghuo Weibo that is benchmarked against Twitter in North America, and its development is super efficient. Giving Xinghuo Weibo a market value of US$10 billion after its IPO is already an underestimation.
When Wang Chengguang made his estimate, he only compared the original Zhalang Weibo’s market value of 2014 billion dollars in 40 with its stock price, but he routinely overlooked that when Zhalang Weibo went public, it did not have the foundation of Happy Farm and Plants vs. Zombies in the game center! !
Shao Anna was shocked, and Guan Youbo was also shocked.
Wu Jiang explained sullenly, "This guy is the founder of Xinghuo. The last time I went to their company, Xinghuo Weibo hadn't been launched for public testing yet."
"Within three months, countless wealthy people and big capitalists rushed to give him money to spend..."
As he was talking, he saw Shao Anna and Guan Youbo looking at Wang Chengguang in shock again, and even looking at him in shock. Wu Jiang shrugged and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"It's his business if he has money, but I still feel that my sister is at a disadvantage for following him like this. Is that not okay?"
Shao Anna and Guan Youbo looked at each other.
Until Wu Xiaowei ran out of the store, holding two watches, "Brother Guang, brother, one is Shanghai brand, and the other is Seagull brand, you can choose."
She said that they would let two people choose, but when she ran over, she had already handed the two watches to Wang Chengguang. Wang Chengguang took the Seagull with a smile and said, "I'll take this one."
Wu Xiaowei hurriedly handed the Shanghai-branded watch to Wu Jiang, "See if you like it. If not, I'll change it."
Wu Jiang was about to explode with anger, but he forced a smile, "I like it, I like it very much. This is the first gift you gave me after we've grown up and we've been separated for so many years, so of course I like it."
Wu Xiaowei's eyes were almost narrowed into slits due to her laughter. "Have we decided where to eat?"
A group of people looked at Wang Chengguang, especially Shao Anna and Guan Youbo.
It would be fine if they didn't know, but now? ? The two felt like they were looking at a god. They all knew that Xinghuo Media was registered in November 2007 and Xinghuo Weibo was launched on April 11, 08.
Today is only July 08, 7. In just eight months, a unicorn company has emerged so outrageously. Many capital and venture capital institutions in Europe, America and South Korea are waving hundreds of millions of US dollars in cash, wanting to raise funds to join Spark.
It's ridiculous, how did this come about?!
Because the main business is to speculate in this and that, stocks, foreign exchange, futures, bonds, etc., not to inject capital into corporate development.
Shao Anna has a great influence and a wide circle of friends, but she is still not like Big Penguin, Alibaba, and Softbank, who even know that Wang Chengguang likes to cook, run marathons, swim, etc.
Even many investors are joining forces to cover up the truth, not wanting Wang Chengguang's one-year entrepreneurial resume to be published on Baidu Encyclopedia.
It was announced that the leader's personal charisma was too high and too great. They invested tens of billions of RMB and finally got 40% to 50% of the shares. Wang Chengguang turned around and abandoned Xinghuo Weibo, ran to start a new platform, and attracted tens of millions of users with his personal charisma.
With this guy's ability to hype things up, he might surpass Xinghuo in a few months.
Wouldn't the billions of dollars invested by venture capital be wasted? !
As the others watched, Wang Chengguang smiled and said, "Go to the China World Hotel? I often treat guests there..."
A group of people nodded repeatedly. As for Luo Ni, she didn't understand Mandarin, but that didn't stop her from nodding frequently because she thought Wang Chengguang was so handsome.
Wang Chengguang laughed again, "It's such a short distance, why bother calling a driver to pick us up? Take a taxi?"
Shao Anna hurriedly winked at Guan Youbo, and when Guan Youbo and Wu Jiang went to take a taxi, Shao Anna smiled... She was originally a decisive and super strong woman, but at this moment her smile was a bit simple and sweet, which was difficult for her.
"Mr. Wang, what investment stocks did you mention earlier?"
Wang Chengguang nodded and explained, "I am also optimistic about the future development of some companies and would like to invest in them. I have only raised HK$10 billion so far."
"But if necessary, we can prepare more, and we'll see how the situation develops."
Xinghuo Weibo's mortgage of 20% would be 10 billion. If the situation is good, it is not impossible for him to get more. That was more than half a month ago. Now if we talk about it again, maybe 20% can lend 15 billion.
Shao Anna was ecstatic and took a long breath. "This business is a super big business. Mr. Wang, if you have a funding gap, I know a lot of bankers in Hong Kong Island."
"If you need anything, just tell me. I won't tell you the extra cost. Within HK$30 billion, I can arrange even a meal." The starting valuation of Xinghuo Weibo is US$10 billion, and many of the people there are bankers and tycoons who want to line up and get a share of the spoils.
To be honest, looking at the overall timeline, the current financial crisis in North America has already begun and is still developing. Many people know about it, not just one or two.
Four months ago in March, the US stock market continued to fall. Bear Stearns, one of the world's top 4 companies founded in 1923, was acquired. Then in July, the Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department announced the takeover of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac...
The next month, the two housing markets also began to plummet, and the entire market was not optimistic.
However, before the bankruptcy declaration of Lehman Brothers on September 915, the Great Peak had not yet arrived.
The market is now in a state of panic. Can the Americans hold up the economy? Can they handle it? Countless people are speculating and wavering.
In this market situation, as a new super entrepreneur, Wang Chengguang needs to raise HK$10 billion to start. Should he invest or acquire the company?
Super big business!
Such things will also attract a lot of Hong Kong capital, and tycoons who don’t know whether their money will be lost in foreign exchange and finance will want to invest in Spark.
It was the first time that Pony Ma from Big Penguin went to Xinghuo. He said that in addition to European and American capital, there were also many people from Hong Kong and Macau who were keeping an eye on Xinghuo’s Weibo.
Wang Chengguang laughed, "We'll see when the time comes. We can talk slowly after dinner."
As I said, if a big storm really hits, the Hang Seng Index of Hong Kong stocks will plummet to a point where even the mother will not recognize it, and countless stock investors will be left with broken homes and blood.
If he gets rich by shorting the Hang Seng Index, he can make a huge fortune, starting from 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, and can make tens of billions or more.
However, the countless Hong Kong stock investors who have been cheated and have lost all their money will hate him as a rich man if they are taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives.
Those capitals that want to invest in Xinghuo will definitely lead all Hong Kong shareholders to hate him, so that they can put pressure on him and make him give up part of Xinghuo’s shares.
Even if he uses that to make tens of billions, it would not be as useful as just sniping Big Penguin and Alibaba and joining them to become a major shareholder.
Outsiders may not know, but how could he not know the significance of WeChat Pay and Zhifubao?
How could he not know the terrifying influence of these two trillion-dollar giants in the 10s, which cannot be compared to the tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars you earned during this financial crisis?
What he wants to wait and see is whether there is a chance to deal with SoftBank, a major shareholder of Alibaba and Yahoo...
Currently, Taobao and Zhifubao are not listed in Hong Kong, but Softbank and Yahoo together have more than half of the say.
In the future, if Jack Ma steals things and secretly uses his power as CEO to transfer Zhifubao to other companies under his personal name, it would be a real trick. Because Softbank and Yahoo hold great power, the country will not allow Zhifubao to develop like that.
Then, Wang Chengguang smiled and said, "Boss Shao, I think Manager Guan has good qualifications. Do you want him to become an Internet celebrity in other fields besides being a financial genius? Do you know anything about Internet celebrities?"
Shao Anna was confused. What did it mean? You know, she was the one who always liked to ask her subordinates, including Guan Youbo, "Do you understand what I mean?"
Now she was being asked back?
But super customers are God. Shao Anna smiled and nodded, "I understand. Whether it's Ms. Gu Jingjing, Wang Manni, or Shen Bing, these are the most popular in the mainland and are regarded as the best mate selection criteria for hundreds of millions of Chinese young men."
"Their commercial value and potential are also huge."
Wang Chengguang nodded, "I think the influence and market coverage of Xinghuo Weibo in Hong Kong and Macau is still too small at this stage. We need to promote a few Hong Kong and Macau celebrities so that Xinghuo can sweep the market."
Shao Anna, "..."
Before she could say anything, she tried to hail a taxi but failed. Guan Youbo, who had been keeping an eye on the place, came back quickly and said, "I want to be an internet celebrity."
"Mr. Wang, I am also a loyal user of Xinghuo Weibo..."
Shao Anna exploded, and looked at Guan Youbo fiercely, but Guan Youbo pretended not to see her and smiled brightly, "Boss Wang, although I can earn millions a year, I also studied abroad in a famous North American university."
"But compared to business leaders like you, I am just a nobody. I am honored that you are willing to support me."
Shao Anna calmed down again. The pretty boy she raised... No, was the black boy trying to run away? Or was he rebelling? They were all in their 30s, could they stop being so childish?
If we say that Wu Jiang and Luo Ni's relationship is very strange.
Guan Youbo also feels that he is in a super weird relationship. He has a loving girlfriend, Tingting, who is a nurse and has never let him down in her life.
However, he was suppressed in all aspects by his super financial talent and female boss, and the woman had to take the top position every time.
He studied finance for a few years and was recruited by a headhunter to work as a financial manager at Jiahui Global Investment Group. However, any decision or strategy he made was always rejected. He could only listen to Shao Anna, which is why he is where he is today...
Many people may complain that he is just putting down his chopsticks and cursing, because Shao Anna is young, beautiful, has a good figure, and is so rich.
Who doesn't want to eat this gigolo? Why doesn't it smell good? Moreover, Shao Anna knew that he had a girlfriend, so she could let him go back and meet his girlfriend occasionally, and urged him to break up with his girlfriend, but she didn't force him too much.
But Guan Youbo still wants to say that he was the top scorer in the Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination at the age of 17, majored in psychology in undergraduate studies, and obtained a doctorate in economics from a prestigious university in North America.
Not to come back and let a woman control his life.
If you want to smoke a cigarette outside, you have to ask for permission before you can pick it up.
Not to mention that he taught himself to shoot and continued to win the actual shooting championship in the gun club.
Having always been in a small circle in the fields of stocks, foreign exchange, bonds and futures, he could not see any chance of breaking free from Shao Anna's control.
During this trip to the mainland, I met Wang Chengguang, a god-like entrepreneur.
If you don't seize this opportunity, it will be a waste.
Wang Chengguang nodded. "It would be great if you are willing to join Xinghuo. We can discuss it in detail during dinner."
Judging from Hei Guan's looks at his peak, which was much better than Lu Tao, Hua Zi and others, it could be that the middle-aged version of him couldn't suppress the middle-aged version of Zhang Biao...
He continued to rise as a top student, and his annual salary of several million Hong Kong dollars in 08 was not a small amount.
It is true that by just some random hype, one can become a big internet celebrity in Hong Kong and attract Hong Kong users to the Xinghuo Weibo.
The next moment he asked curiously, "Many Internet users in your area also use MSN, Twitter, and Facebook, right?"
Guan Youbo nodded, "This is the market situation."
Wang Chengguang smiled and said, "I think Plants vs. Zombies and Happy Farm can also attract a lot of users there."
Shao Anna glanced at Guan Youbo and said with a smile, "I have heard of these two games, but I have never played them."
