484 NASDAQ Rings!
Rice Technology has experienced more than three years of development since the release of the first rice mobile phone in 11 years, and will enter its fourth year this year. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info from the very beginning of the rice mobile phone, to the later rice home, Huaxin Semiconductor Company, and the future laboratory and other branches.
Such rapid development has also brought the development of rice science and technology to a peak, and the target of this year's mobile phone shipments is set at 100 million! This is an unimaginable thing for a technology company that has only been established for more than three years, even in the history of the world, there have never been few companies that have been able to reach the development speed of rice technology.
According to the estimates of external financial companies, the current valuation of rice technology companies has exceeded 30 billion US dollars, if it can really reach the predetermined target of this year's shipments according to the annual schedule, then it is very likely that at the end of the year, the valuation of rice technology companies will reach a record 45 billion US dollars!
At the same time, Huang Yifei also knows that in fact, in history, Xiaomi Company also reached its peak in 14 years, when Lei Jun was full of pride and was ready to win the first position of China's mobile phone manufacturers, and even began to develop towards the top three positions in the world.
As a result, reality gave Lei Jun what can be said to be a fatal blow, and Xiaomi mobile phones have suffered an almost cliff-like fall since 14 years. Because as Huawei's Kirin chip began to catch up with Qualcomm and Haisi Semiconductor's innate advantage in the mobile phone baseband, Huawei began to develop rapidly this year and officially determined its position as the first mobile phone manufacturer in China.
This world may be a blessing and a curse. In the next 16 years, not only the rise of Huawei, but even the backgammon mobile phone manufacturers such as OPPO and VIVO, which everyone did not expect, have successfully occupied the second and third places in shipments with a large number of offline stores, and if the two are combined, they have even surpassed Huawei.
It was also in this year that Xiaomi mobile phones saw the reality that they couldn't get along with the cost performance alone, and because of various supply chain problems, their production capacity was in trouble. After learning from the pain, Xiaomi's Songuo Technology finally launched the surging chip to create its own core components, but in 17 years, it has been too late.
As a prophet of history, Huang Yifei already knew the future development, so he naturally wouldn't let this happen. This is why he has invested almost all his net worth to promote the research and development of Rice Technology Huaxin Semiconductor. If all goes well, Rice Technology will launch a mobile phone equipped with Huaxin SOC chip this year.
At the same time, because of Huang Yifei's excessive expansion and investment, the capital chain of Rice Technology is almost on the verge of collapse. Now is a period of rapid development, coupled with the continuous financing of Huang Yifei and Lei Jun's angel investment, so they can barely survive. If rice technology goes downhill in 15 years, Huang Yifei can almost foresee what kind of state will appear in rice technology, just like the tragic situation of the collapse of the building!
In fact, this is not without precedent, there is another such company in Huang Yifei's later life, when he was in his prime, blindly invested a huge amount of money to develop Internet cars, which led to the rupture of his own capital chain, and since then he has been on the verge of bankruptcy, and even began to sell his high-quality assets, the name of this company is called Leshi (homonym).
There is a more important point that although Huang Yifei developed Huaxin Semiconductor and Future Lab in advance, he actually gave up a very important expansion, that is, the rice ecological chain!
Mobile phones are bound to be a necessity for future life, but this market is limited after all, and it is also saturated. At the same time, with the development of science and technology, smart home will be the future development goal, so Huang Yifei plans to develop industrial ecological chain products such as rice robots, rice sockets, rice controllers, rice cookers, etc., to directly occupy the future of smart home, which will also be the strategic development goal of rice technology in the future!
In fact, Huang Yifei had told Lei Jun about these things before, and with Lei Jun's knowledge and vision, he naturally saw the prospects of these things in the future. It's just a cruel reality in front of us, that is, Rice Technology really doesn't have the money to develop these things, so since the end of 12 years, Huang Yifei has begun to prepare for pre-listing preparations.
It took a full year for Huang Yifei's rice technology to finally pass various asset reviews and come to the stage of final listing. Now Huang Yifei is going to have a final meeting with Lei Jun, and to discuss this matter with Zhang Fatzi.
At the Yanjing Rice Technology Headquarters, Lei Jun was waiting for Huang Yifei in the office early. When Huang Yifei came downstairs, he happened to meet Zhang Fatzi who rushed to Rice Technology Company.
When the two of them met downstairs at Rice Technology, there was a look of strangeness and surprise on their faces, thinking about it, it had been almost two years since the two of them last met. It's just that this strangeness is almost fleeting, Zhang Fatzi rushed over and hugged Huang Yifei and said, ", I really didn't expect you to be so strong now!"
When the two of them met, Huang Yifei was only more than 1.8 meters tall, and his weight was only about 80 kilograms. At that time, Zhang Fatzi was only a few centimeters shorter than Huang Yifei, but his weight was dozens of kilograms. This situation caused Huang Yifei to stand with Zhang Fatzi without taking off his clothes, but he didn't look as strong as Zhang Fatzi.
Seeing each other again in reality today, Huang Yifei's weight is already on the same level as Zhang Fatzi. Of course, Huang Yifei is all muscles, and Zhang Fatzi is fat. And he is more than ten centimeters taller than Zhang Fatzi, so Huang Yifei looks much taller than Zhang Fatzi, and it is finally no longer the time when he was not as good as Zhang Fatzi's body shape back then.
"Why do you feel a lot heavier, you dead fat, I guess I haven't exercised much in the past two years!"
Hearing Huang Yifei's words, Zhang Fan replied with a displeased expression on his face: "No way, I've been helping you operate the website for the past two years, and I have to help you optimize the system of Rice Technology, and even found a group of people to consider writing our own system, how can I have time to exercise!"
Faced with Zhang Fan's words, Huang Yifei just patted Zhang Fan's shoulder and didn't say anything more. In the past few years, although Huang Yifei and Zhang Fan have rarely met, if you must say who Huang Yifei has helped him the most in addition to Kunlun fighting and Longteng promotion, then it must be Zhang Fan!
It can be said that Huang Yifei's rapid expansion in the Internet business in the past few years is because Zhang Fan stands behind him and helps him do everything on the Internet! From the very beginning of the Kunlun official website operation to the later whale live broadcast operation. From the establishment of Rice Technology FLYUI to the experimental research and development of new systems in the Future Lab of the entire Rice System, all of this is supported by the technology company established by Zhang Fan in Silicon Valley.
But almost no one knows anything about it, except for the core executives of Rice Technology. Not only that, in fact, Huang Yifei is in Silicon Valley in the United States, and there is a high-tech company that stands at the forefront of the times. The so-called Future Lab is a branch of this company affiliated with Rice Technology.
In fact, seriously speaking, even the core executives of Rice Technology, including Lei Jun, only knew that Huang Yifei had IT partners in the United States, and they never thought that such a top high-tech company hidden under the iceberg would be created by Huang Yifei a long time ago.
The reason why Huang Yifei doesn't want the world to know all this is because he knows that whether it is in the ring or in the mall, it is best to always maintain a hole card that the opponent does not know, and Zhang Fan is Huang Yifei's biggest hole card!
Even sometimes Huang Yifei himself feels that he is becoming more and more like the scheming shopping mall predator in the movie.
Coming to the headquarters of Rice Technology, Lei Jun handed over the listing plan to Huang Yifei, in fact, the biggest problem is the equity dilution of Huang Yifei, Lei Jun and Zhang Fan, as well as the proportion of voting rights of the future equity board of directors. This is why Huang Yifei must call Zhang Fan over, because Zhang Fan also occupies almost 10% of the shares of Rice Technology.
Although Zhang Fan's shares were all operated by Huang Yifei before, even Zhang Fan himself did not take the 10% shares as a thing. But Huang Yifei knows that as a brother, you must remember the friendship at the beginning, and what should be given to Zhang Fan must be given, not swallowed by yourself.
In fact, the proportion of voting rights of listed companies is generally not necessarily related to the proportion of shares. For example, JD.com, which everyone is very familiar with, although with the investment and listing of Tencent and other aspects, Liu Qiangdong's shares are only more than ten percent. However, Liu Qiangdong accounts for more than 80% of the voting rights of the board of directors of JD.com, which means that Liu Qiangdong still has absolute voting rights and controls the general direction of the company's development.
This is why Jingdong, which only accounts for more than a dozen percent of the shares, is still called Milk Tea East.
However, there is a very painful problem in Rice Technology, that is, Huang Yifei is not the absolute founder, at most he is a co-founder. Although the cooperation between Huang Yifei and Lei Jun is very pleasant now, and even in a sense, the two have the same goals and concepts.
But no one dares to guarantee that it will be like this in the future, especially after experiencing the financial crisis of rice technology, which also caused some small differences between Huang Yifei and Lei Jun. In fact, the most important point is that Huang Yifei knows that he has such a tacit understanding with Lei Jun now, because he knows the development of rice technology in history, which itself is Lei Jun's own idea, how can he not have a tacit understanding?
But what about after 2016? Huang Yifei doesn't know what the history behind him is, and then he will no longer be able to understand Lei Jun's later development ideas, so disagreements will inevitably arise. In order to avoid embarrassment for the two of them at that time, it is better to decide the voting rights now.
Perhaps because the previous cooperation with Huang Yifei was very pleasant, and at the same time, the career of Rice Technology brought Lei Jun the second spring of his career, which made him feel that Huang Yifei was the best partner he had met in his life. He did not make too many demands on the voting rights in the future, and the final agreed result was that Huang Yifei and he each accounted for 30 percent, Zhang Fan held 10 percent, and the other 30 percent of the voting rights would be reserved for the larger capital group that would invest in the future.
Everything was agreed, and compared to Huang Yifei, Lei Jun seemed very excited. Because this time, the listing of Rice Technology is not in China, but on the New York Stock Exchange in the United States. Or to use a more colloquial term, it's to ring the bell on the NASDAQ!
Huang Yifei knows that on September 19, 14, the New York Stock Exchange will usher in a very crazy day, that is, China's super Internet company, Alibaba Group listed on the New York Stock Exchange, that day is a day that makes the world crazy, Alibaba Group created a market value of more than 230 billion US dollars on the first day of listing, and also surpassed Facebook and became the world's second largest Internet company.
This is the largest IPO (public offering) in history, and it also shows the world the power of China's mega-enterprises. At the same time, the NASDAQ bell is also one of the highest honors of the world's entrepreneurs, and many people's biggest dream in their lives is to make their company public, ring the bell on the NASDAQ, and make themselves the center of this world's finance!
Coupled with the fact that Rice Technology happens to be himself, Lei Jun and Zhang Fan, Huang Yifei thought of a famous movie called "Chinese Partner", which tells the story of New Oriental English ringing the bell on NASDAQ. Huang Yifei himself didn't expect that one day he would ring the bell on the NASDAQ!
Maybe his own rice technology will be one step ahead of Jack Ma's Alibaba, making the whole world feel crazy!
Everything has been negotiated, and Rice Technology has officially announced its listing plan on the New York Stock Exchange. At the same time, the other side also officially began to agree with the New York Stock Exchange on the time of ringing the bell for listing, and Lei Jun set this time on January 20, 2014!
This time is only a few days before the Chinese New Year, in fact, Huang Yifei really wants to spend the New Year in China, accompany his parents and Chen Jingyi, and then decide what to go public.
However, the negotiation with the New York Stock Exchange was actually submitted for review a year ago, so this kind of time is not easy to change, Huang Yifei can only seize the last few days of rest and quickly return to Star City to reunite with his family.
At the same time, as soon as Rice Technology announced its listing plan, the entire business community was stunned by this bombshell. According to the current valuation of Rice Technology and the outside world's optimism about Rice Technology, if it is really listed, it is likely to reach a market value of 50 billion US dollars on the first day!
This market value may have a considerable gap with Apple, Google and other giants, but in technology companies, it has broken through to the top 25 in the world, and even surpassed the famous Yahoo company, which is a miracle for a technology company that has been established for less than four years, how not to make the world crazy?
