(.) Looking at a document in front of him, Zhou Liwen hesitated a little, and frowned deeply. It's not that the content of the document disgusts him, in fact, this thing is not a bad thing for Zhou Liwen, on the contrary, it is a good thing. But the key is that there is something wrong with this time, if it was two years earlier or two years later, Zhou Liwen would happily accept it, instead of being entangled like now.

Judging from the content, it is a listing document, and the object of the listing is the network technology company built by Zhou Liwen, that is, Alipay, Taobao, Ahri and other platforms, plus various network platform institutions derived from its exhibition to the present.

Since Zhou Liwen first built Alipay and Taobao through the channel of Huhai Bank, he has been waiting for this opportunity. In his previous life, Zhou Liwen was very aware of the huge interests of Ahri's listing, and even created a rich Chinese overnight. And now, Zhou Liwen directly or indirectly controls Alipay, including Taobao, Ahri and other platforms have more shares than Yahoo in the previous life, and under his promotion, the exhibition is far faster and better than in history, and now the entire network group has been faintly the world's first position, according to market value estimates, has reached an astonishing amount.

Even in the international market, the network group is far more smooth and powerful than it was in history. Of course, this is also inseparable from Zhou Liwen's use of smartphone application software bundle functions. In addition, Alipay obtained a banking license a few years ago, and cooperated with banking institutions in various countries, especially Zhou Liwen's own banking institutions, to quickly promote online payment.

It stands to reason that the listing of the network group is a good thing for Zhou Liwen, according to the current level and strength of Zhou Liwen, coupled with the development momentum of his network company, he will inevitably get a generous return after listing. But in reality, Zhou Liwen is a little hesitant about this, there are two main reasons, the first is because the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis has not yet passed, coupled with the impact of the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers and the Ponzi scheme on Wall Street, the entire securities market is still in a depression, and this is not the best time to go public.

And the second point is that Zhou Liwen has selfish intentions, and from the bottom of his heart, he does not want to list the entire network group. Due to the emergence of Zhou Liwen, history has long been deviated, as mentioned earlier, now Alipay alone has become a huge banking institution. Although Alipay and Taobao are currently affiliated with the same network group, including Ahri, if the three are bundled and listed, such as the listing of Ahri in the original history, it will be a loss for Zhou Liwen.

For these two reasons, Zhou Liwen was a little undecided, it had been several days since this thing was in his hands, but he never made up his mind.

"Smoke less, the bird's nest sent by my little sister, I cooked some, you drink a bowl, don't be too tired." Just when Zhou Liwen locked himself in the study, smoking a cigarette and thinking about the problem, the door was gently knocked open, and when he looked up, he saw his wife Lin Yaxuan walking in with a bowl of bird's nest. Seeing the smoke in the study, she gently placed the bowl on the table, turned around and pushed open the window next to it.

Zhou Liwen smiled, snuffed out the cigar that still had half of it, picked up the bird's nest and drank a few sips with a spoon.

"How's it taste?"

"Of course my wife's cooking is delicious," Zhou Liwen smiled and gave a thumbs up to Lin Yaxuan.

"Just your mouth is sweet, drink it quickly, it's not enough to have it in the pot." Lin Yaxuan smiled a little happily, sat down beside him, watched Zhou Liwen finish the bird's nest in one gulp, and then reached out to pick up the bowl.

"No, one bowl is enough." Zhou Liwen waved his hand, put the bowl aside, took Lin Yaxuan's hand and said, "The children are all asleep?" It's so late and I want you to help me make supper, thank you. ”

"I'm asleep, and so are you, and you haven't rested at any time, if you hadn't just gotten up at night and saw the light on in the study...... Lin Yaxuan felt the warmth in his hand, and lightly squeezed Zhou Liwen's hand and blamed: "We have enough money, and the family's business is big enough, even if you retire now, the children will not be able to spend it for a few lifetimes, why do you have to make yourself so hard?" ”

"I don't want to, but if the mall doesn't advance, it will retreat, and I'm only in my early thirties, so I'm going to retire early, so I can work harder now, and I can leave more things for future generations in the future, right?" Zhou Liwen said with a smile, in fact, he also knew that Lin Yaxuan was blaming him for putting too much energy into work and neglecting his family. Zhou Liwen is also a little helpless about this, from the beginning, Zhou Liwen still thought that he could handle both work and family well, but as the business has become bigger and bigger over the years, and there are more and more industries under his name, his focus on work will inevitably be a little cheaper. Although Zhou Liwen tries very hard to spend as much time as possible with his wife and children, he will still be disrupted by some sudden events from time to time. If it weren't for Lin Yaxuan's understanding and understanding of himself and silently helping him take care of his family and children, Zhou Liwen really didn't know how to deal with these things.

"I know, I don't blame you, but I always want you to spend more time with me and the children, as you used to, instead of seeing you shut yourself in your study or office." Lin Yaxuan gently rested her head on Zhou Liwen's shoulder, leaning on her husband's broad and warm shoulders.

"Yes, I promise you, after I have arranged all the work in hand, I will not interfere in the company's affairs in the future, and then I will have time to take you and the children around the world and enjoy the life of the family together. By the way, or how many more children can we have? Don't you think there are fewer children in the family? ”

"You treat me as a sow, you have to have a few more, I want to be beautiful" Lin Yaxuan clenched her fist and hit next Zhou Liwen's chest, but there was a smile on the corner of her mouth. She knew that her husband's promise would not lie to her, because since they were together, Zhou Liwen had always kept any promise to her.

Under the quiet light, Zhou Liwen and Lin Yaxuan relied on each other as if they were in love, and time seemed to return to the previous time at this moment. It took a long time for them to return to reality from this warmth, Lin Yaxuan raised his hand and pushed the length of his forehead to the side, and sat up slightly straight.

"Still looking at things on the market?"

Zhou Liwen nodded: "Fuguo and Goldman Sachs are urging me, this information has been in my hands for several days, and I have to give them an answer in a few days, so I have been thinking about this matter." ”

"Actually, I think that if you don't want to go public, you can do it, listing is not the only way, don't look at so many domestic companies looking forward to listing, but some old companies in Europe and the United States are not listed and do not show well?"

Lin Yaxuan is not a housewife who doesn't understand anything, she still holds Zhou Liwen's foundation, and she also shakes the equity of several of Zhou Liwen's properties. As far as the network group that is currently considering going public, Lin Yaxuan is also one of the major shareholders. And she is right, there are advantages to going public, and there are advantages of not being listed. If Zhou Liwen is struggling with whether to go public, he will simply not be listed for the time being, not to mention that the network group has been doing well now, and continuing to develop like this will not affect its future.

However, Zhou Liwen shook his head with a smile, and he sighed lightly: "It's not such a simple problem, for you and me, we can do this, but for the whole, if we don't share the interests evenly, maybe there will be some trouble in the future." ”

"You mean Fortune Fargo and Goldman Sachs?" Lin Yaxuan frowned and asked.

"It's not just them, it's SoftBank and others."

"I know about SoftBank, but ...... others?" Lin Yaxuan was a little puzzled.

Zhou Liwen explained: "The others are the founders of the network group, including Liu Ting, Ma Qingyang, some group veterans, and even those ordinary employees. If it goes public, it will be a very good opportunity for them, at least in terms of financial benefits. And if they refuse to go public, once the news spreads, giving them the morale of these people is a strong hit...

Hit. This world is a material society, and even the most loyal subordinates need material incentives, and the best of this material is money. ”

Hearing this, Lin Yaxuan immediately understood. To use the simplest analogy, it is that the boss and the part-time worker have completely different origins. As a boss, in the case of chasing profits, it is necessary to make the enterprise bigger and stronger. And as a part-time worker, the key is the return you get after what you pay. If Zhou Liwen refuses to go public, it will be extremely unfair to Liu Ting and others, you must know that once the network group is successfully listed, according to the calculation of the option ratio within the group, they will be able to stand in the ranks of billionaires overnight, such a big temptation, I am afraid no one can refuse.

What's more, the listing of Baidu in the past few years is still vivid. Due to the success of the listing, Baidu has created billions, tens of millions, and millions of billionaires overnight. Even the aunt who cleans at Baidu and the front desk of the reception work have been richly rewarded, and these things are still talked about.

Therefore, it is impossible to refuse to go public, although it is not the best opportunity now, but if Zhou Liwen refuses in this case, it will not only form a rift with Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs, but also cause turmoil within the group when the news reaches the Internet group. This is the result that Zhou Liwen absolutely does not want to see, and it is also what he is embarrassed about.

"What I'm thinking about now is how to go public, or whether to go public in whole or in part." Zhou Liwen stretched out his finger and dotted on the document, and then pointed to his head.

"You mean to separate Alipay from online shopping platforms and go public? Or is it only one of them? Lin Yaxuan immediately understood what Zhou Liwen meant, and thought for a while: "This is also a solution to the problem, in fact, I think that Alipay, as a substantial online banking institution, does not need to be bundled with the Internet group to go public, which is not appropriate." ”

"Hehe, that's exactly what I thought." Zhou Liwen was very happy that Lin Yaxuan agreed with his own views and replied in agreement.

(On the last day of the holiday, ask for tickets and recommendations!)
