Galaxy Network is developing rapidly now, and there are many R&D projects, many of which are medium and long-term strategic projects, with large investment and no short-term returns. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 At present, the company's employees have exceeded 10,000 people, which must have reached a large scale, and it is time to go public and raise funds.

As a network equipment manufacturer, only when the company is listed, the company is transparent and subject to supervision, will it make partners and consumers more trusted, and will also reassure the US government, after all, the boss behind this company is a Chinese.

Li Zetian chatted with Tian Shuai and Zhang Yan for a long time, and finally talked about the company's listing again.

The company's good financial report is highly sought after by Wall Street investors, and the announcement of the NSFNET network by the National Science Foundation (NSF) makes it a good time for Galaxy to go public.

"Tian Shuai, the company needs to find a lead underwriter for listing...... Chase Bank of the Rockefeller consortium, Bank of America of the California consortium, HSBC of Europe, and then there are ......" Li Zetian thought for a while and said, "Finally, I will leave a lead underwriter, and I plan to buy a bank and let it take over." ”

Lead underwriter refers to a securities business institution that exclusively underwrites or leads the organization of underwriting syndicates in the issuance of stocks. The lead underwriter is the most important intermediary engaged by a stock issuer. It is both the lead underwriter of the equity offering, the financial advisor of the issuer, and often the recommender of the issuer's listing. When an enterprise decides to issue shares, there are often several, dozens, or even dozens of securities operating institutions to compete for the lead underwriter, and the competition is very fierce.

The Rockefeller consortium and the California consortium are now considered allies of Li Zetian, and this is naturally done to win them over and give them a little sweetness. At the same time, let others know the benefits of forming an alliance with Li Zetian.

There are so many companies under Li Zetian's name, and there will be more companies in the future, if all of them are split and listed, it is not blown, and there is no problem in ringing the bell on the NASDAQ for a year.

If Galaxy Network Company wants to go public, it will definitely be very successful, and as the lead underwriter, it will definitely make a lot of money and gain fame and fortune.

"Okay, Mr. Li, I see. Tian Shuai nodded in response.

"Okay, then that's all for today!" Li Zetian said, got up from his seat, and said goodbye to them.

……

On the way back home, Li Zetian turned his head to look at Dongfang Yuqin and asked, "Have you investigated all the information of Wells Fargo?"

"Mr. Li, don't worry, the information is very detailed, the acquisition team is ready to go, if you want to buy Wells Fargo now, they can act immediately!"

Li Zetian nodded and said lightly: "Since this is the case, then immediately initiate an acquisition with Wells Fargo!"

"Yes!" Dongfang Yuqin responded, then took out a brick mobile phone from her bag, dialed a phone number, and explained a few words to the person on the other end of the phone.

Li Zetian closed his eyes slightly, leaned his head back, and leaned on the back of the car seat.

In fact, he knows much more about Wells Fargo than Dongfang Yuqin and others. This bank was the most valuable bank in its previous life, and since its creation in 1852, it has never lost money, and in the end it has become the strongest, which is simply jaw-dropping. In the 15 years from 1983 to 1998, the earnings were 3.99 times that of the broader market stock indexes in the same period, 1.5 times that of Intel Corp., 3 times that of General Electric, and 4.5 times that of Coca-Cola. During this period, the financial industry was far less prosperous than high-tech stocks, automobiles and electrical appliances, so the performance of Wells Fargo in the United States was amazing!

At this time, Wells Fargo is in the early stages of its rise, and the size of the bank is not very large, with a market value of less than $1 billion, and there will not be much resistance to acquiring such a company as Li Zetian. If he were to buy big banks such as Citibank and Morgan Bank, even if Li Zetian had enough funds, he would probably be difficult to succeed in the acquisition as a Chinese.

In addition, Li Zetian's acquisition of Wells Fargo can also reduce the vigilance of major consortia.

Therefore, acquiring a bank with excellent potential and then growing it is the most appropriate approach.

The next day, the news that Galaxy Network was preparing to go public came out, causing a sensation in the industry, and the attention of the media was also attracted by the matter.

At this time, the acquisition team sent by Li Zetian had quietly contacted the shareholders of Wells Fargo Bank to secretly negotiate the acquisition, so as not to be secretly disrupted by some ill-intentioned people.

……

Time passed day by day, on January 20th, Nintendo held a product launch conference, and Li Zetian specially watched the conference at home through satellite TV.

Sure enough, Nintendo released a home game console, the name has not changed, it is still the same as in the previous life, called Famicom (FC)!

Before Li Zetian could speak, Yu Jingqiu couldn't help but say in surprise: "This game console released by Nintendo is so similar to the Flamingo-1 game console, I dare to say that Nintendo must have copied the Flamingo-1 game console!"

Li Zetian smiled and said: "It's not once or twice that Nintendo has done plagiarism, when the Atari game console dominated the world, Nintendo also copied a lot of game works. However, since this machine was developed several years later than the Flamingo-1 console, the performance of the console is much better than that of the Flamingo-1. ”

At the press conference, Nintendo President Yamauchi Pu looked full of spirit and confidence.

"The FC console is the best console out there! Yes, it's even more powerful than the Flamingo-1 console! Game developers can create even better games on the FC platform. If a third-party game developer wants to sell game software, choosing the FC platform is definitely your best choice!"

Li Zetian couldn't help but shake his head and smile, Nintendo openly dug up a corner at the press conference.

Dongfang Yuqin said in a low voice at this time: "Mr. Li, do you want to give a warning to third-party game developers that they are not allowed to develop games for Nintendo?"

"Based on the principle of fair, just and open competition......"

Li Zetian paused and said with a smile, "You go and ask the Flamingo Company to warn these third-party game development companies!"

Yu Jingqiu smiled and said, "I really thought you had changed your personality and didn't suppress Nintendo." ”

"Hehe, how is this possible!"

Li Zetian smiled and continued to watch the live TV, Nintendo also released 6 built-in games this time, which feels pretty good. However, Japan's top game design talent is either recruited by Flamingo or at a third-party game development company. In this life, due to the plagiarism of Nintendo's best-selling Game-Watch product Li Zetian, Nintendo's stunted development and capital and talent reserves are far inferior to those in the previous life, so there can no longer be classics like "Super Mario".

The FC's gaming performance is certainly stronger than that of the Flamingo-1, but it is not much better. There are so many fun games on the Flamingo-1 console platform, FC is simply impossible to beat Flamingo-1, Flamingo eats meat, and Nintendo drinks some soup at most.

However, this soup may not last long.

Whether it's FC, or the Flamingo-1 console, it's all an 8-bit console in the final analysis.

The Flamingo company, on the other hand, has been developing the second-generation Flamingo console for a long time, preparing to use a 16-bit Intel 8086 processor and use CD discs as the game storage medium......

The release of such a revolutionary and high-performance console is sure to blow the minds of all gamers and game developers. There is no doubt that FC will be far behind by the second-generation Flamingo console. When the time comes, Nintendo will definitely regret spending a lot of money on the development of FC consoles.

Yu Jingqiu saw Li Zetian's relaxed face, and couldn't help asking, "Aren't you worried that Nintendo will steal the market share of the Flamingo Company?"

"Nintendo is not qualified enough, and the opponent of Flamingo has someone else!" Li Zetian said lightly.

Yu Jingqiu and Dongfang Yuqin couldn't help but feel puzzled when they heard Li Zetian say this.

"Which company are you referring to by someone else?" Yu Jingqiu couldn't help but ask curiously.

Li Zetian slowly spit out two words: "Sony!"

After a pause, he went on to explain: "Sony is very strong, and if it wants to enter the home console industry, it will be a fierce rival to Flamingo!"

……

……

The Nintendo of this life was crippled by Li Zetian, so Li Zetian didn't take it seriously. On the second day of Nintendo's product launch, Li Zetian finally completed the wholly-owned acquisition of Wells Fargo, with a total purchase price of $1.25 billion!

On the day the acquisition was completed, the news spread, and people couldn't help but be shocked! At the same time, it also made many people wonder: Why did Li Zetian buy a small and medium-sized bank?

Anyway, Wells Fargo became famous all at once!

Out of trust in Mr. Li, many people subsequently became Wells Fargo users.

In order to show his attention to Wells Fargo and appease the bank's employees, Li Zetian made a special trip to the headquarters of Wells Fargo in New York. Here, he met with the middle and senior management of the company, and announced that he would not take the initiative to interfere in the development of the bank, and that the original management team would still be responsible for the management of the company, and that Wells Fargo's corporate culture and management would remain the same! In addition, he also said that he would take out $2 billion from the umbrella company and deposit it into Wells Fargo.

In fact, this is equivalent to giving Wells Fargo an additional $2 billion in development funds, which can grow rapidly!

Li Zetian brought good news not only that, he also decided to cooperate with Wells Fargo Bank of his name, the company's book funds will be transferred to Wells Fargo Bank one after another, and he will also encourage employees to apply for Wells Fargo credit cards in order to pay salaries!

Li Zetian's series of decisions made Wells Fargo jubilant!

"Let's work together to make Wells Fargo the largest bank on the planet!!! Mr. Li shouted.
