On August 5, 2005, Baidu was officially listed on the NASDAQ in the United States.

Perhaps a month ago, Baidu's acquisition of a 50% stake in Yoyo Browser was good news that stimulated the stock price. Since the market opened, Baidu's stock has skyrocketed at a rocket-like rate, reaching $130 per share by the time it closes.

Liu Yun, who was far away in Ningjiang, stayed awake all night, and he was always concerned about the situation on the other side of the ocean. A few days ago, Robin Li invited Liu Yun to the United States to witness Baidu's listing, but Liu Yun declined.

He didn't feel the need to go to the United States to join in the fun. Although he has a lot of Baidu stocks, it is only an investment behavior, and he does not have the slightest right to speak about Baidu.

Today, the 300,000 Baidu shares in his hands are worth nearly $40 million, and even if you don't count the company's assets, the value of these stocks is enough to make Liu Yun a veritable billionaire.

At this moment, Li Yanhong and Xu Yong, who are far away in the United States, Baidu's senior executives or shareholders, have gone completely crazy.

At four o'clock in the morning, Baidu closed at $130.02, and within a few hours, Baidu's market capitalization soared to $4.2 billion, which translates to more than 30 billion yuan!

On this day, the big screen in Times Square scrolled 24 hours a day with the words "Welcome to Baidu".

Baidu became the first non-U.S. company in Nasdaq's history to see the biggest price increase on its debut day, rising by more than 350% on the day!

The miracle created by Baidu shocked the entire Wall Street!

Early in the morning of the second day, many domestic media reported the news about Baidu.

Baidu's listing has created eight billionaires, hundreds of multimillionaires, and countless millionaires in one day.

And Liu Yun is also on the list of these eight billionaires.

In addition to Baidu's helmsman, Robin Li, Liu Yun has received the most media attention, even surpassing Baidu's top executives.

Some newspapers have also deliberately analyzed Liu Yun's wealth, in addition to Baidu stocks worth nearly $40 million, there is also a huge cash cow "World of Warcraft", as well as Yoyo Vacation.com, which is valued at more than $100 million, the potential and valuable Yoyo browser and hao123 navigation website, the first game website Yoyo.com, and the extremely popular tea drink YOYO milk tea in coastal provinces, as well as an Internet café chain company.

His wealth has exceeded 1 billion yuan according to the most conservative estimates, and he is fully able to rank among the top 200 richest people in mainland China and the first place in the list of young rich people under the age of 30.

It's an internet miracle, and even on a global scale, there are very few examples of this.

It was also noted that a month before Baidu's listing, Yoyo Network and Baidu reached an agreement: the two companies each hold half of the ownership of Yoyo Browser, and Yoyo Network has the right to operate it.

This news made many people in the industry suddenly realize that the strategic vision of the young boss of Yoyo Network is really unique, and this step is too good, boosting Baidu's stock price, and obtaining a lot of cash and some stocks, and increasing the installed capacity of Yoyo browser through Baidu's drainage.

That's three birds with one stone!

Liu Yun understands that he has become the focus of the outside world at this moment, and various media have reported on him.

He didn't pay too much attention to these, since he chose to expose his identity on the stage of the Supergirl Finals that day, Liu Yun knew that because of his experience and age, he would inevitably become the object of major media reports, as long as these news did not slander and slander him, he could laugh it off.

All of this is just getting started, and he'll try to get to the top of the mountain to see how different the scenery will be.

......

In mid-August, Liu Shihua came to Liu Yun's office in high spirits.

"Boss, the negotiation with NetDragon has come to an end, 20 million yuan to package "Demon Domain" and Tianqing Digital, I think the price is acceptable. As soon as he entered, he gasped and began to report to work.

Liu Yun put down the pen in his hand and asked, "What is the current progress of the opening of "Demon Domain"?"

Liu Shihua replied: "It's about a little more than 60%, and it was originally planned to be officially open beta next summer, but it is almost impossible with the progress over there." ”

Liu Yun said: "Tianqing Digital, how many people will come over?"

Liu Shihua showed a smug expression, smiled, and said: "Most people will come over, especially the core personnel of the R&D team are ready to come." We are well-known on the Internet, we have more abundant funds, and we also have a better platform. Because they don't have enough money in NetDragon, a lot of R&D work has become unsustainable. So they're all very tempted. ”

"What's more, NetDragon has such a large game company, which only has input, no output, and wants to find a good price to sell. He added

Liu Yun nodded and said, "That's good, if that's the case, I can accept the price of 20 million yuan." You talk to the people on NetDragon's side right away and start the handover as soon as possible. ”

Liu Shihua asked with some curiosity: "Boss, are you in such a hurry?"

Liu Yun replied: "Of course. Only after the handover ceremony is completed, can we invest in Tianqing Digital for subsequent game development. My plan is still to launch the game "Demon Domain" before next summer. ”

He is also in a hurry to set up a group company next year, which will set up an independent game subsidiary. If there is only one World of Warcraft at that time, it will be too shabby.

And the company's self-developed "Demon Domain" will be launched one day earlier, and if it can become popular, his wings in front of Blizzard can also be a little harder.

"Yankees, you see, there's not just one World of Warcraft game that I can make money in. ”

After pondering for a few seconds, Liu Yun continued: "After the acquisition of Tianqing Digital, they will no longer exist as subsidiaries, and they will be called Tianqing Studio in the future, and they will be completely integrated into the system of Yoyo Network, of course, they can be given a certain degree of autonomy." ”

Liu Shihua nodded and said, "Boss, I understand, I will also pay attention to this when negotiating." ”

Liu Yun continued: "Tell the people of Tianqing Digital, I give them the greatest autonomy in the development of this "Demon Domain", neither I nor you will dictate the development of the game, this must be made clear. ”

Liu Shihua showed a hint of surprise and asked, "Boss, this ......"

Liu Yun interrupted him and said categorically, "Do what I want." ”

He hadn't played Demon Domain in his previous life, and he was afraid that his interference would cause deviations in the game's design. He gave Tianqing Studio the greatest freedom, and hoped that they could continue to develop the game along the original trajectory.

In this way, the possibility of the fire of "Demon Domain" is still very high, and it can also bring rich returns to Yoyo Network.
