You must know that when Chen Ping acquired Baidu's shares, Baidu did not pass the decision to go public at all, and even at that time, it was just the plan in the minds of some shareholders, and it was never disclosed to the public.

But Chen Ping acquired the shares of Baidu at that juncture, and as soon as he acquired it, it was the original shares with a market value of 100 million.

This can only show that although Chen Ping has not received any news, his vision is extremely old-fashioned, and he directly saw the future development direction of Baidu, and acquired the original shares of Baidu so long in advance.

Before Baidu was officially listed, he became one of the shareholders of Baidu.

Just this eyesight and courage alone have already made Li Changhong look at Chen Ping with admiration, and he didn't dare to underestimate him at all.

It is precisely because of this that Li Changhong made this call to Chen Ping.

After a few words of praise to each other, Li Changhong chuckled and said: "Mr. Chen, I don't know if Mr. Chen had time to rush to the United States with us to witness the moment of Baidu's listing when he was listed?"

Hearing Li Changhong's words, Chen Ping was stunned for a moment, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

He really didn't expect that Li Changhong would actually make such an invitation to him.

You must know that although Chen Ping is one of the shareholders of Baidu, in fact, the proportion of the original shares of Baidu held by Chen Ping is not too high, and Chen Ping has not participated in Baidu's shareholders' meeting, so he can only be regarded as an idle shareholder, and there is no way to be regarded as one of the real executives of Baidu.

Baidu's senior management is also very clear that the reason why Chen Ping has so many stocks in his hands is only because Chen Ping bought these stocks some time ago, and the fundamental reason why Chen Ping bought these stocks is actually to take advantage of Baidu's upcoming listing to make a lot of money.

Therefore, Baidu's senior management has never contacted Chen Ping, but now, Li Changhong, chairman of Baidu, actually called Chen Ping in person, inviting Chen Ping to go to the United States to witness the moment when Baidu went public.

Although it was just a simple invitation, Chen Ping also smelled something unusual from it.

After pondering for a while, Chen Ping asked with a soft smile: "Chairman Li, although I can be regarded as one of the shareholders of Baidu, I think you also know that the reason why I acquired the shares of Baidu is just to use the big ship of Baidu to earn a little money for myself, and I don't want to meddle in the senior management affairs of Baidu, so let me go to the ceremony of Baidu's listing, is it a little inappropriate?"

Hearing Chen Ping's question, Li Changhong also smiled slightly, and then said kindly: "Of course not, Mr. Chen is also a young man in the domestic business community, and it is an honor to invite someone like Mr. Chen to participate in the listing ceremony of our Baidu company, which is also an honor for our Baidu company, I hope Mr. Chen will not refuse." ”

Chen Ping smiled lightly, then said a few polite words to Li Changhong, and then agreed to Li Changhong's invitation.

Although Chen Ping has no way of knowing why Li Changhong invited him to participate in the ceremony of Baidu's stock listing, Chen Ping thinks that he holds Baidu's shares in his hands, although the fundamental reason is that he still hopes to make a fortune by taking advantage of the opportunity of Baidu's stock listing, but on the other hand, Chen Ping also hopes to rely on Baidu to create some momentum for himself.

Under the current Chen Ping's name, although there are already several major companies such as Guangyu Technology Company and Changping Supermarket Company, in fact, Chen Ping's development time is still too short, even within the scope of Dongjiang Province, he is not deep-rooted at all.

Especially in terms of personal relationships, there is really a long gap.

But Baidu is completely different, this is one of the giants in the domestic Internet industry, even in the whole of China, it has a high status.

If you can really have a good relationship with Baidu's senior management, it will also be beneficial to your future development, at least there will not be some ghosts, snakes, and gods who will easily come to find trouble for yourself.

Thinking of this, Chen Ping finally agreed to Li Changhong's invitation.

However, after putting down the phone, Chen Ping still felt a little embarrassed in his heart.

Whether it is in his past life or this life, Chen Ping has never stepped out of the country of China, even in his previous life, when he lived close to 40 years old, Chen Ping has never gone abroad, let alone to the United States on the other side of the world.

This is the first time Chen Ping has stepped out of China.

Speaking of which, Chen Ping still had a little embarrassment in his heart, but soon, Chen Ping returned to normal and carefully began to think about Li Changhong's intentions.

However, after thinking about it, Chen Ping had no way to accurately judge Li Changhong's intentions.

But Chen Ping also made some guesses.

In fact, Li Changhong's intentions are not difficult to guess, they are nothing more than those possible reasons, and the most likely reason is because of Chen Ping himself.

Now Chen Ping, is no longer the obscure little high school student a year ago, at this moment, he has Guangyu Technology Company, Changping Supermarket Company, Tianyu Entertainment Company, Yuwei Investment Company, and even a new logistics company is under construction, in addition, Chen Ping and the game star website company jointly set up another company.

It's just that the company, like the logistics company, is also in the early preparation period, and has not yet been formally established, and even the cooperation rules between the two sides are in the process of being discussed.

But even so, there are as many as 6 companies under Chen Ping's name.

With so many companies, none of them can be underestimated.

Even if it is just an empty shell of Yuwei Investment Company, it also holds the original shares of Baidu Company currently worth 100 million, and after Baidu Company's stock is listed, Yuwei Investment Company's assets are likely to exceed 500 million in a very short period of time, and it is not impossible to even reach 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

As for Guangyu Technology Company and Changping Supermarket Company, it is Chen Ping's right and left hand, these two companies are developing very fast, in less than a year, the market value of Guangyu Technology Company in the outside world has steadily exceeded 10000000000000, especially after the launch of the "Journey" game, the current market value of Guangyu Technology Company has been as high as 1.35 billion.

As for Changping Supermarket Company, although it is not yet able to catch up with Guangyu Technology Company, the assets owned by Changping Supermarket Company are visible and tangible, and the total asset valuation has been as high as nearly 700 million.

You must know that Guangyu Technology Co., Ltd. has a total of 22 stores, and there are hundreds of millions of working capital on the books, and such a large supermarket chain company, although it has not completely covered the entire Dongjiang Province, it is definitely not to be underestimated.

After the 16 stores just opened by Changping Supermarket Company are completely stabilized, coupled with the third large-scale expansion, more than 300 convenience stores will open at the same time, and by that time, the market value of Changping Supermarket Company is likely to exceed the 10000000000000000000 mark in a very short period of time.

As for Tianyu Entertainment Company, the initial investment was only 100 million, and now it can be regarded as a company with the least assets under Chen Ping's name.

But even so, all the shares of these 6 companies under Chen Ping's name are combined, and Chen Ping's net worth has steadily exceeded 2 billion.

This is definitely an extremely scary number.

You must know that Chen Ping has only been in one year since his debut, and in just one year, Chen Ping has gone from a poor and white high school student to a billionaire with a net worth of two billion.

You know, it's only 04 years now, although the domestic rich list is not taken seriously many times, and many low-key businessmen will not appear on the rich list, but if you really talk about assets, Chen Ping is now able to rank within the top 500 on the domestic rich list.

Such an asset growth rate also truly proves Chen Ping's own ability.

This is not something that ordinary people can achieve.

Although the outside world doesn't know much about Chen Ping, Li Changhong is the chairman of Baidu, and there is an inexplicable shareholder in his own company, so Li Changhong naturally needs to investigate Chen Ping.

After investigating Chen Ping, Li Changhong's opinion of Chen Ping also changed day by day.

In the past few days, Li Changhong finally couldn't sit still.

In his opinion, Chen Ping, a young guy who is not even twenty years old, is definitely an extremely terrifying character.

At such an age, sitting on two billion assets, and every step of the development has traces to follow, not all by luck, such a person's ability is extremely terrifying, and he can definitely be regarded as a rookie in the shopping mall.

That's why Li Changhong called Chen Ping and invited Chen Ping to participate in the ceremony of Baidu's stock listing.

Of course, Li Changhong, as the chairman of Baidu, can be regarded as a high-ranking person in China, so naturally he will not befriend Chen Ping everywhere, he just wants to get to know this young and promising little guy.

Chen Ping naturally had no way of knowing what Li Changhong was thinking, but he also guessed a few points.

Anyway, for Chen Ping, there will be no conflict between himself and Baidu, even if in the future, his Guangyu Technology company will enter the Internet industry in a big way, but under normal circumstances, there will not be too much conflict with Internet industry giants like Baidu.

It is even very likely that the two sides will have some cooperation in the future, so it is not a good thing to get in touch with Li Changhong now.

On June 20, Chen Ping dealt with the affairs of Guangyu Technology Company and Changping Supermarket Company, assigned all the things set up by the online e-commerce platform, and then packed his luggage and stepped on the plane to the United States alone.

After more than ten hours of flight, when Chen Ping stepped on the ground again, a faint blank color appeared in his eyes.

It was his first time in the United States.

For this country far away on the other side of the ocean, Chen Ping actually has a lot of curiosity in his heart.

In the past, Chen Ping only knew a little about the United States from books, but this is the first time he has set foot on American soil.

But in Chen Ping's view, the United States does not seem to be much different from China, but it is more sparsely populated here.

Even in urban areas, pedestrians on the streets seem to be much sparser than in other countries.

The population density of the United States is much lower than that of China, and this phenomenon has long been expected by Chen Ping, and as for the various conditions in other aspects, it seems that there is not much difference from China.
