On June 18, 1999, Chen Zier signed a loan agreement of RMB 30 million with ICBC on behalf of Pudding Company.

The next day, June 19, Cai Zhaoxi formally signed the first round of investment agreement with Tencent on behalf of Shengshi Investment, in which Shengshi Investment invested US$1.5 million to support Tencent's related business expansion and owned 40% of the company's equity.

The money will be in place within three working days, and then, Cai Zhaoxi returned to Zhonghai from Shenzhen in the afternoon, and he may not have known that he had helped Chen Zier complete a task that was very miniature to the times.

After the agreement was signed, Tencent immediately announced the good news to the outside world, and in less than a week, everyone in the small circle of the domestic Internet basically knew about it.

For a while, many websites were ready to move, and most of them were never heard of by Chen Zier, he actually wanted to see how Daddy Ma reacted in Hangchen, this kind of news, major forums and websites will report and discuss, he must know.

But after waiting for a few days, Chen Zier actually didn't wait for Ma's father's call, he was indeed calm, Ali and Tencent are different, Ali pays attention to trust, a bit like CX, at the beginning of the business, he believed that this company would succeed, maybe this is the reason.

In any case, the Internet Investment Division of Shengshi Investment will organize a forum on the Internet on September 30, and these two people have been confirmed to attend the meeting. The others don't come to pull it down, and he's happy to talk to the three parties anyway.

On June 26th, Qin Ye found someone to officially start the process of buying land on Yintai East Road; on the 27th, Chen Zier went on an interest-free business trip, and the pudding convenience store officially entered Wuxi; on the 29th, Chen Zier returned to Zhonghai and presided over the second round of staff recruitment of Shengshi Hotel with Shi Yangqing at the Pudding headquarters, which refers to the recruitment of relevant administrative and financial personnel.

The whole trip at the end of June is quite intense, as the time comes to July, midsummer is coming, but even with such high temperatures, Chen Zier can not stop, on July 7, he was invited to leave China Overseas and set off for the headquarters of China.com, as one of the largest individual shareholders, he still needs to attend some occasions.

Especially this juncture.

A week later, on July 14, 1999, after several rounds of consultations, investigations, deliberations and negotiations, China.com will go to NASDAQ for listing.

This week will be the week of the roadshow, and the company's preliminary prospectus has been finalized, which is also known as the Red Herring Prospectus, which is not the final prospectus submitted to the SEC, but the prospectus shown to investors during the roadshow.

The difference is that the issue price of the red herring prospectus is a range, such as $18-$21 per share. The final prospectus contains a unique issue price, which is a certain number of US dollars per depositary receipt.

Chen Zier has no memory of this, so theoretically, no one can be sure what the final issue price of China.com will be. All he can remember now is that the company's stock price has soared to more than $300 a share, which is an embarrassing word "terrifying."

The SEC's rule is that shareholders like him are not allowed to sell their shares for 180 days. Half a year, six months, that's how far he's from a billionaire.

Of course, after the company is listed, according to the stock price, his net worth will skyrocket, becoming one of the media reports of 'how many billionaires have been created by the listing of xx companies', which is a bit empty, after all, the money is not in his hands, so in his heart it is not a one-week countdown, but a six-month countdown, but after all, this is the first time his eldest girl has been on the sedan chair, as long as it is listed, his net worth will definitely reach a height that he didn't dare to think about before.

What's more, the time is very short, not the kind that Tencent has to wait for ten or eight years. Six months, really not long, so he was affected.

The U.S. time is one day later than China's, and the news will not be released until July 15. Chen Zier is not good at geography and can't understand the time zone, but he knows it one day later, because an American studied geography one day and suddenly found that the time in China was 12 hours earlier than the time in the United States, but we didn't even remind them that 911 would happen in 12 hours, so she tweeted to Farker us, scolded a few swear words, and let out a bad breath.

Chen Zier didn't go anywhere at home on this day, and in the past few years since his rebirth, this day may not be the most important day, but it is definitely in the top few, but unfortunately there is no live TV broadcast in China at this time, otherwise he will definitely watch it, let alone think about the live webcast, it is difficult to download a song from my mother.

So he can only wait for the news, it is false to say that he is not excited, everyone is an ordinary person, such a crazy wealth creation movement, he can still participate in it, and his heart is very active.

Hey, this thing also needs to be used to, Chen Zier also felt his restlessness, he thought that he was always nervous for the first time, and it seemed that he would have to ring the bell a few more times in the future.

Not... I suddenly found that I had a lot of things to get used to.

Shi Yangqing was as careful as a hair, she found Chen Zier's abnormality in the company, and she also knew the news of the upcoming listing of China.com with a simple inquiry.

After making sure that he was at home, Shi Yangqing went to knock on the door, and rarely saw Chen Zier like this, she thought it was a little interesting.

As soon as the door opened, she found that Chen Zier had a white towel hanging around her neck, her face was covered with sweat, and the air conditioning was not turned on in the room, "What are you......?" What for?"

Chen Zier let her come in and said, "I bought a treadmill, I'll run, exercise more." What's wrong with you? What's the matter?"

Shi Yangqing saw that his shirt was all soaked, and the sweat on his face was not called sweat, it was just water, "How long have you been running?"

Chen Zier wiped his sweat and said, "I didn't look at it specifically, it took about more than forty minutes." You wait a minute, I'll take a shower. ”

Shi Yangqing nodded, and went to turn on the air conditioner by herself without politeness with him, in the summer, she really felt hot without air conditioning.

Chen Zier moved quickly, came back in more than ten minutes, and lay on the sofa after coming back, and it was comfortable to take a hot shower after drenching in exquisite exercise.

Shi Yangqing poured tea from the refrigerator and put it on the coffee table, then sat down and said, "Is there any news?"

Knowing what she was referring to, Chen Zier shook his head and said, "No, I'm still waiting." ”

Shi Yangqing looked at the cup in his hand and asked with a playful smile: "I don't want to do anything, I can't sit still, I can't sleep, that's why you're running, right?

"So to speak...... But it's not accurate enough......"

……

At the same time, Li Zhonghong, a financial person who is on a business trip in Singapore, also paid attention to the listing activities of China.com on the NASDAQ, which was originally just one of the many Internet companies that are now listed to make money, and he has seen a lot of such scenes on Wall Street for many years, nothing special, but because of Chen Zier, he gave more attention, so he also asked his colleagues in the United States to give him news as soon as possible, the content is simple and intuitive, that is, how many dollars a share is the issue price, and how many dollars a share has risen on the first trading day。

So after the dust settled, he received an email from his colleague as soon as possible, and after reading the contents, he immediately called his assistant and "help me book a ticket back to Zhonghai as soon as possible." ”

"Yes. ”

He was supposed to stay for two more days, but a bigger potential customer was waiting for him.

Chen Zier himself is also waiting, he feels that the news is coming soon, how is the stock price of China.com performing in the capital market......
