Chapter 814: Old-School Characters (1160 Monthly Pass Plus Update)
That Mr. Phil was not wrong at all, and when Hong Tao saw Joseph, no, I should say that he had only seen one letter from him, he had a little more confidence in working with Jon. Now, after another morning of chatting with Joseph about the small company going public, he felt a little more confident that even if Jon didn't want to work with him, he would have to forcibly buy his debt and force him to work with him. Because Hong Tao thinks that Joseph Sr. is a very good bank manager, especially he has a lot of experience in how to help small companies go public, he doesn't have to think about many things, just like telling his own story, telling Hong Tao eloquently, not only clearly, but also not full of professional jargon, so that you can listen to the clouds.
Understanding a thing and being able to make others understand a thing is not a grade. The former only understands by himself, while the latter requires more understanding and experience, and Joseph Sr. is obviously the latter. Hong Tao's more than 10 million dollars were not so much for Jon, but for Netscape and Yahoo, which was paving the way for the two companies to go public. So he didn't feel wronged, this was what should have been invested, and more than 10 million was not much.
Listing in the U.S. is very, very cumbersome, and even if you know the Secretary of the Treasury, it's useless. New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), American Stock Exchange (AMEX), NASDAQ, OTCBB. Just figuring out these different securities markets is the blessing of the sedan chair sauce called ∷ Dan 絤.=QuleDU=com 墒 cut from the rose mold to steal the plum to find the scarlet Zai Yin H slow Zhu Gou Meng Brown Xia Xuan sodium file drop Zi Ω the mystery of the mother of the Jiaojiao ㄉ jurisdiction of the harmonious strontium Mi Shi Xiao left (3) B Xuan Xuan Xin Cheng Huan Huan Harmonic "Na Xian Punishment Trampling Rhyme Oyster Block" Poor Qiang Nickname Dark Qiang Cha Tired Legacy Fresh Small XII.br/>
It's not that difficult to apply for listing. The difficulty lies in how you should meet these procedures and conditions. These procedures and conditions are very complex, and they are also divided into national capital markets and small capital markets. The conditions on both sides are not the same, and there are not only hard and fast regulations on the minimum value of shares to be issued, net assets, and net income of the financial year of the applicant listed company. It also requires a public shareholding of not less than $1.1 million, no less than 400 shareholders, etc.
Joseph said that there is also a way, such as the NASDAQ, there will be another criterion, specifically to evaluate this kind of high-tech emerging industry companies with great potential in the future. This standard no longer requires financial year revenue, number of shareholders, etc., but a set of processes to value your company. If the estimated value is more than $75 million or there are total assets of more than $75 million, it can also be approved for listing.
Once a company goes public, it has to worry a lot about dealing with the supervision of the SEC, what must be disclosed, what can not be disclosed, and what can and cannot be disclosed. What things can not be disclosed but should be disclosed, anyway, it's not an old fox who has been in this industry for many years can't figure it out. Lawyers and accountants can only operate for you according to your requirements, and how to make these requirements is a very particular thing.
Hong Tao felt that he would definitely not be able to make a reasonable request, but Joseph should be able to help him make up for this shortcoming, and if he could also get the suitable Clark who was suitable to be the company's CEO into the Netscape, this matter should be considered a victory. If you can't figure it out like this, it's still the same sentence, go back and sell mice, USB flash drives, don't play with such lofty things. This money is not what you should earn at all.
"You can pass me on a copy of the company's information, I'm not very familiar with the high-tech industry, and the previous business was mainly concentrated in the traditional industry. To be honest, I've heard of the Internet. It's also used in the bank, but I'm a little out of tune, so I can't promise you anything yet. When Joseph heard that Hong Tao was also involved in venture capital. It's a bit of a feeling of wanting to talk and stopping, obviously he also feels that Hong Tao's qualifications are not enough to play in this kind of industry. However, in order to take care of the face of the big financier, he did not say anything to persuade him.
"I don't think it's better to do this, let's have a joint meeting! You represent the bank. Together with representatives from Crystal Orchid Capital and Netscape, we hold a regular meeting to discuss the listing operation. In this way, you can learn about the situation of the two companies, and they can also familiarize themselves with the knowledge of how the listed company should operate, and they will not have to re-run in the future. Hong Tao felt that the money he invested could not be invested in vain, and he must be squeezed 100%, from material to non-material interests, he wanted it!
"I agree with your proposal, can you let Jon preside over this matter? He's just a little anxious, but he still has the ability, and I'll give him advice when necessary. After all, the west coast is too far away, and the bank's business has to be restored to the best of its ability, and I am a little old and can't do both...... Thank you for your understanding. Joseph did not object to Hong Tao's construction, but he also put forward his opinion, which is indeed a question of reality.
"It's okay, the conference headquarters is located here! I've read the relevant article, the lease of this property expires at the end of March, and we will take it back, part of it will be used as the New York branch of AIGO, and the other part will be used as a conference room for the joint conference. But it's best to limit this matter to the people who need to know, I don't want to make a fuss about it before the company goes public, I'm a very low-key person......" Hong Tao didn't want Jon, the loser, to be Yulia's guide, even if he was looking for a teacher, he had to find Joseph like that.
"Low-key...... I beg your pardon, you really can't be considered low-key in Toronto, and your exposure in the news media is higher than that of celebrities. Joseph's old face finally showed a little smile, but only a smile.
Not only does he have an old-fashioned personality, but he is always polite to people, and he never nods once when he speaks, and never more than one more place where he shouldn't. Hong Tao now understands why Jon took the risk of investing in unfamiliar projects at that time, with this Joseph by his side, he probably won't want to do anything out of the ordinary for the rest of his life. The old man was like an old clock, old, but accurate, ticking very rhythmically, his own rhythm.
"Haha...... Even you know?" Hong Tao didn't feel embarrassed, it's a good thing to be famous here, no matter what the reason is.
"There are parades in many cities in the Midwest, and there are Indian marches on such a large scale, even I haven't seen them in years. But I'm a little confused, are you a businessman, or are you a politician, or are you going to go there? It's important for our future cooperation, and I hope you'll tell me the truth, and I'm not going to sue anyone, including Jon. Joseph obviously didn't fully see Hong Tao clearly, and the information he collected by himself was not enough, so he had to ask questions in person.
"I'm not a businessman...... Hong Tao deliberately gasped, he really couldn't joke about Joseph's old-fashionedness, but he couldn't help it, so he could only use a more subtle way.
"Nor are politicians...... Actually, I'm a scientist...... Hey, hey, scientist!" Seeing Joseph frowning, Hong Tao hurriedly continued to explain, and when he said the word scientist, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Jon told me that the device called the optical mouse was invented by you, and such a gadget is not enough to be called a scientist, at most an inventor......" Joseph can't talk more than Jon, and he can die with two words!
"Don't worry...... Scientists are not assembly lines, they have to accumulate slowly. I'm only 22 years old, and I already have several patents, and who's to say that when I'm 32, I won't have any more patents? And soon you'll be able to see my new inventions, and it's not too late to call me Dr. Hong. "Hong Tao began to tell Joseph about the cultivation of a scientist, and he was very patient in this regard, and whoever disagreed with him, he would take the trouble to tell you until you agreed, at least superficially.
"Okay...... A future banker and a future scientist, this combination is not bad either. Joseph was finally persuaded by Hong Tao to recognize his status as a scientist in principle, but with the prefix of a temporary worker.
"Let's do it for now, scientists are still busy, I'm working on a problem about the ocean, let the professionals do the rest. Oh, by the way, I also want to ask another question, do you know who the best gynecologist in New York is? I will have a son in two months, should I go to a good doctor?" Hong Tao has no interest in this kind of business negotiation, even to make money for himself, and it is already his limit to be able to talk with Joseph, an old-fashioned old man, for a morning.
"Congratulations...... However, I am not in a position to help you in this regard, because I have never had children of my own. Well, I know a couple of good doctors who I can refer you to. But do you need to find a doctor here? There should be good gynecologists in Los Angeles and San Francisco, right?" Joseph was a little surprised by Hong Tao's question, and he didn't quite understand why Hong Tao had come to the East Coast to find a doctor.
"My girlfriend lives in New York, I'll stay here with her for a few days, and if there's any problem, just call me on my mobile phone, then I'll say goodbye. Hong Tao took the note that Joseph had written to him, and got up to take his leave. (To be continued......) R1292
