Chapter 144: A Treasure Falling from the Sky
Lao Zhao wanted to laugh every time he saw Gianna's serious appearance. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The thinking mode of the East and the West is different, and the boss is indeed more easy-going, so that this foreign girl sometimes does not look like a subordinate, but like a chattering old mother, constantly babbling in her ear, clothes should be washed, quilts should be dried, and clothes should be collected when it rains......
Of course, most of the time, washing clothes, drying quilts, and collecting clothes are the most trivial things in daily life, but they have to be done, otherwise the little things that life will not go on are all done by Gianna herself, but once she encounters something that she can't solve, her ears can't be cleaned.
Han Xin attacked the city and plundered the village, Xiao He's rear housekeeper, with such a big housekeeper by his side, the benefits are obvious, he saves himself a lot of heart, the company runs in an orderly manner, the disadvantages are also obvious, the young beauty pageant lady is like her own mother, and she is not good at criticizing her, who makes the family work hard for the company.
"You're also a puppy!" Zhao Zejun took the document from Zhou Na's hand and scolded her with a smile.
"Of course, Miss Gianna is my direct superior." Zhou Na said confidently.
"Mr. Zhao, I'm not kidding." Gianna said with a serious face: "I have done batch experiments with international students, and Zeyue's online novels are also very popular with foreign young people. If you can expand into overseas markets, subscription revenue will increase significantly, and that's just subscription revenue. The Chinese government vigorously advocates the export of culture, and if Zeyue's online novels can be widely disseminated overseas, the economic, political, and cultural impact will be immeasurable, and even the next step can be planned to go public. ”
"Hmm." Zhao Zejun nodded, the top few pages of the document are the proposals for the overseas version of Zeyue Chinese Network, including market forecasts, cost inputs, operation plans, etc., simply flipped through and put aside.
"These are Zelianke's projects, right?" Shook off a large stack of files.
"Of course." Seeing Zhao Zejun's indifferent look, Gianna stared at Zhao Zejun with a pair of big eyes, like a female ghost, staring directly at Zhao Zejun, and said: "Zelianke, Happy Farm is better, anyway, you just use it as a money-making tool, but blog China is your real core business, and the growth rate has slowed down significantly during this time." On the contrary, our biggest opponent, the growth rate of Sina Blog has increased significantly, and we are in a very dangerous situation, Mr. Zhao, please take it seriously! Personally, I believe that the prospect of blogging is much more than a business center. ”
"It's all because you don't have enough money to invest?" Zhao Zejun asked.
Gianna shrugged with a 'what do you say?' expression.
Zhao Zejun nodded, silently flipping through the proposal given by Gianna.
This time he watched carefully, and the office was quiet, except for the rustling of paper.
Zhou Na silently took out a can of tea and a box of coffee, made a cup of tea for Zhao Zejun and put it on the table, and helped Gianna make a cup of black coffee.
"Thank you." Gianna nodded.
After reading it for half an hour, the time on the wall pointed to 11:30 o'clock, and Zhao Zejun roughly finished reading the plan.
"About Blogger China, there are a total of 7 large and small projects that need to be promoted, if ......" Zhao Zejun looked at Gianna and said seriously: "If there is no problem in terms of funds, these seven projects are launched, can you ensure that Blogger China's leading position is unbreakable?" ”
"Of course!" Gianna said without hesitation: "Blogger China is almost half a century ahead of all competitors, all we need is to continue to consolidate our advantages to ensure the leading position, but the problem is that you have taken most of the funds ......"
"Okay, I see." Zhao Zejun waved his hand and interrupted Gianna's complaint: "Starting tomorrow, Zeyue's overseas version of the project will be officially launched, and the seven projects you proposed by Zelianke will also be launched as planned." Don't worry, I know what you're going to say, the question of money, right? The two companies' financial support for Zeye Plaza will be reduced by 70%, that is, no reserve funds will be left. ”
"Huh?" Gianna thought she had misheard, "What did you say?" ”
The support funds of the two Internet companies to Zeye mainly include two parts, one is direct investment, and the other is reserved funds. As the name suggests, the former was taken out and spent, and although the latter was swiped out of the accounts of the two companies, the money was not spent, but placed on the accounts of Zeye.
With a bank loan and two Internet companies making profits in the early stage, Zhao Zejun had enough money on hand for construction, and the reason why he had to keep reserves was to prevent the breakdown of funds due to accidents and to prepare for the follow-up second phase of investment.
Gianna came to ask for money, but she didn't expect to get much at all, in line with the plan of how much she could want, a few months ago, she wore out her mouth, and Zhao Zejun didn't let go, she didn't pull out a dime, who knew that the other party was so happy this time, not only promised to give money, but also allocated a large amount.
Zhao Zejun's next sentence surprised her even more, "In addition, all the reserves left in the accounts of Zeye Company in the past few months will be returned to the two network companies. ”
Gianna was dumbfounded, stunned for more than ten seconds, and then came back to her senses: "Mr. Zhao, I still have to remind you that for a project as big as Zeye Plaza, if there is no sufficient reserved funds, in case of an accident, it will be a financial disaster, and the two companies will not be able to save it in a short period of time." ”
Zhao Zejun smiled: "Oh? Just now I said that I deducted money from the Internet company, and now I agree to give you money, are you worried about Zeye Plaza again? ”
Zhou Na is also very strange, Gianna is obviously here to ask for money, but her cousin gives her money, but she feels bad?
"Zeye Plaza is one of your important layouts, and I certainly don't want to see it in crisis." Gianna said: "I just hope that you can do a good job of balancing the funds of several companies. ”
"Gianna, you're right." Zhao Zejun nodded and said, "Why do I have a weekly financial meeting, that is, to figure out the financial situation and try to balance it." But in fact, only I knew before that this balance could not exist, if I carried out the construction of the Zeye Plaza project in a year or two, maybe I could achieve a balance of funds, but now it is impossible. So, in the first few months, I could only use my money where it was most urgent, to use a Chinese proverb, "good steel is used on the cutting edge". ”
"So now and later, Zeye's project is not urgent?" Gianna asked.
"Of course it's urgent, and it's more urgent, but I don't need two internet companies to draw blood." Zhao Zejun smiled mysteriously: "I found a treasure, this treasure is enough to serve as a reserve to deal with all emergencies, if I want, I can use a small part at will, and I can almost support the early investment of the second phase of construction." ”
Gianna stared at Zhao Zejun with a blank expression, Zhou Na couldn't help but ask: "Brother, what kind of trick are you doing, where did you get the treasure?" ”
"Gianna, you're American, right?" Zhao Zejun asked a seemingly unrelated topic.
"Of course."
"It seems that you should care more about your motherland." Zhao Zejun turned on the computer, an Internet company of Zelianke's size has internal channels to access foreign Internet, he opened a pure English web page, and turned the computer screen to Gianna and Zhou Na.
On the screen, a group of foreigners hugged several Chinese, and the person in the middle was not tall, polite, and his face was full of smiles that belonged to truly successful people.
"The time is just in time." Zhao Zejun looked at the wall clock on the wall, 11:35.
And the United States on the screen at this time is daytime.
Baidu was officially listed on NASDAQ at 11 p.m. on August 5, 2005 at 11 p.m. Chinese mainland time.
“MyGod! I remember, you're in Baidu, you own 1.2% of the shares! In exchange for stickers! Gianna suddenly realized, raised her head suddenly, and said in surprise: "The treasure you are talking about is Baidu stock!" ”
Zhou Na's English is average, but she is a college student, and she can still understand the basic words and Arabic numerals, staring at a few lines of text jumping on the screen, chanting: "The issue price is $27, and the opening price is ...... $66...... Market capitalization of $1.9 billion ......"
As she spoke, she raised her head sharply and stared at Zhao Zejun: "Brother, you earned more than 20 million US dollars, almost 200 million?" ”
After speaking, without waiting for Zhao Zejun to answer, Zhou Na suddenly reacted, pointed to the screen and shouted excitedly: "No, no, no, look, it's still rising, it's rising so fast......"
Zhao Zejun waved his hand lightly, "Don't call, go and order three suppers, we will guard here and wait until it closes." ”
The night passed, and the next day at dawn, the NASDAQ closed.
Baidu's stock was issued at $32, opened at $81, and closed at $158.01, an increase of more than 300 percent, and its market value has reached $5.1 billion. At the same time, Baidu's CEO Li Zong has a 22.9% stake, making it worth more than $1.1 billion.
Zhao Zejun, a natural person shareholder, holds 1.2% of the shares, equivalent to a market price of about 60 million US dollars, or nearly 500 million yuan according to the exchange rate.
According to the law of the stock market, high-quality companies such as Baidu, on the first day of listing, have skyrocketed, and will become the first choice of stock market investors for a long time in the future, as long as Baidu itself does not have major problems, the stock will continue to rise steadily.
Gianna finally understood what Zhao Zejun's 'treasure' meant.
Overnight, the young boss used an investment that was almost forgotten by many people more than a year ago to earn himself nearly 500 million yuan.
With this money, of course, there is no longer a need for blood transfusions from the two Internet companies, and the Zeye Plaza project also has sufficient confidence, even if Zhao Zejun no longer uses any financial means and uses the money in the stock market to smash it, it can also be smashed out of the highest-grade urban complex in the history of Jianwu City.
In fact, money can make money, and with this money, you can raise a large amount of money through various financial means, even without using it at all.
Gianna's eyes were red, looking at the computer screen as if she were ghostly, watching Lao Zhao conjure up hundreds of millions, even though it had been a whole night, she still felt a little unreal.
"Dear Miss Gianna, don't be in a daze, open a bottle of wine and celebrate." Zhao Zejun yawned and laughed.
