The success of the launch of the Blue Star Network not only made Jim and them happy, but even Kent was quite happy. Now Kent doesn't manage the affairs of the White Lotus very much, and his main job has become Jing Jian's big butler.

"Sir, the number of users is already over 90,000, and according to the growth trend, it may only take a week or two to exceed 100,000. It's just that the server has crashed three times, and it's all in the news, do you need to pay for public relations?" Kent asked with a smile.

Sitting in the office, drinking the long-lost green tea, Jing Jian shook his head with a smile: "No." If you are not afraid of negative news from the media, you are afraid that there will be no news from the media. Kent, try this tea, I finally got my hands on it. ”

Taking a sip of tea, Kent said, "I'm not used to the taste, but I still like black tea." Sir, should we initiate the acquisition of AU next?"

"What are their prices now?" Jing Jian asked.

"Today's close was $1.24, down another 3%. ”

"Almost, focusing on cash acquisitions, let Bluestar go public through backdoor listing, and control the price below $1.5. Jing Jian commanded.

"Understood, sir. ”

"Also, I hope it can be completed within half a month. If you want to stall? The shell of the NASDAQ is not worth much!"

"Yes, sir. Mr. Su and Mr. Hirata have agreed that they will put pressure on the other shareholders of AU. ”

Although the launch of Bluestar was quite successful, the revenue received was considerably small, and all the advertisers were on the sidelines, with the exception of a phone company and White Lotus's $2 million advertising. According to expectations, if you want to break even, you will need to burn money for at least 2 or 3 years.

In addition, there is a considerable shortage of technical talents, and it is not very attractive to recruit them with high salaries, and the company equity is needed. Investing in hardware such as servers is even more troublesome. If you want to expand quickly, simply buying a computer company can get twice the result with half the effort. And that AU company came into Jing Jian's sight.

And the situation of that AU company is also quite bad. There was endless infighting, and there were continuous detours in technology, and several R&D failures. After the listing on the NASDAQ, the stock price has been falling all the way and is now close to the life and death line of $1.

In the U.S. stock market, if the stock price falls below $1, it is basically automatically delisted. Of course, there are exceptions, but such exceptions are rare. It's not like in China at all, ST's stock can be speculated. As a result, the shell resources of U.S.-listed companies are worthless.

And whether it is Yasu Hirata or Su Can's foundation, they have long wanted to get out of this muddy pond. Therefore, as soon as Jing Jian came to the door, the three parties immediately hit it off.

First of all, Yasu Hirata and Su Can teamed up to sell, which made AU's stock even worse. As we got closer to the $1 line, several other shareholders became more and more panicked. And at this time, if an acquisition is proposed, it is easy to get the success of the acquisition. The losses of Yasu Hirata and Su Can will also be allocated to a certain amount of shares in the future reorganization, which can be regarded as some kind of compensation. And the shares they were trapped in before can all be revitalized.

Waiting for the completion of the acquisition, a new round of allotment financing plan will be launched. The money obtained from financing will continue to be used as the burning money of Bluestar.com. That is, you don't need to spend much money yourself, and you can acquire a listed company, and you can also make Bluestar develop rapidly, which is the best of all three. Of course, being rejected is nothing, it is nothing more than letting the AU company die, and the speed of development of Bluestar is slower.

"Kent, it's almost Christmas. Jing Jian sighed with a smile.

"yes! another year. Kent also exclaimed, "What a good year!"

......

To use a very old-fashioned summary, this year has been a successful one!

The first is the income from securities investment. Black Monday at the end of last year seemed to be a fortuitous event, and the world's major stock markets continued to have a big bull market. In New York, Jing Jian's annual income was more than 180 million US dollars, and in Hong Kong, the Guo brothers and sisters earned 240 million Hong Kong dollars for Jing Jian. The most exaggerated is the treasure island, Jing Jian was able to share more than NT$13 billion, equivalent to more than 400 million US dollars, it can only be said that the money in the novice village is simply too easy to make.

The situation of White Lotus is polarized, and the total sales have grown rapidly, reaching more than 930 million for the whole year. However, profits have fallen sharply, reaching just over 10 million. There are several reasons for this, such as the construction of the five major storage centers in North America, the export to the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, and the acquisition of a large amount of international non-circulating currency, such as the Hamburg branch, which now holds more than 80 million East German marks. Also, there is the fact that a large amount of profits are intercepted to factories in China and the Sea of Skulls in Hong Kong.

This year, the profit of Skull Sea also exceeded 460 million Hong Kong dollars, and the mainland factory also made a profit of more than 200 million yuan due to a wave of blowout market in the second half of the year due to the "standard king advertisement".

Seed Media brought surprises, the broadcast of "Infinity" and its surroundings, the profit reached more than 160 million. "Parkour Youth" is also strong, with a profit of more than 100 million yuan, reaching 100 million and 3 million. The tide rises, and the profit of seed music also exceeds 50 million.

However, Jing Jian's investment is also not small. The construction of factories in the mainland alone and the assembly line of imported equipment are equivalent to more than 200 million US dollars. The Portsmouth club's investment has also reached $350 million. As for other bits and pieces of investment, such as GGAB GMO, etc., they add up to more than 20 million. The seed cinema line is also the majority, with a total investment of more than $300 million. The profit brought by the theater chain is only more than 14 million, which is almost negligible.

And Jeton's wells and Golden Island plans, as well as Liu Kai's Dahe Industry and Jinfu's gambling boats, some are still under construction, and some of the profits are getting smaller and smaller, so I won't count them in detail here.

The others, such as the Iceberg Network, the Blue Star Network, etc., can only be said to have a great impact, but in fact they are burning money, and on the bright side, what they are pursuing is the future!

And now, the flow of funds in Jing Jian's hands is still more than 600 million US dollars. Similarly, foreign loans exceeded $300 million. If you add in his stake in Microsoft, his assets have firmly exceeded a billion dollars. In fact, he was already one of the wealthiest people of this era.

However, Jing Jian still did not make the Forbes list that year, because there were almost no listed companies in his hands, and it was difficult to count his assets. Especially this year is a year of laying the foundation, basically in the layout, the investment seems very large and miscellaneous, and it is even more dazzling to outsiders. However, Jing Jian knew in his heart that it would not take long for his harvest period.
