372. in the first place

"Is there a few people who have been talking to me about this lately?"

Wang Teng smiled a little embarrassedly, and then scratched his head.

At the beginning of last year, after his 40 thieves website began to make a profit, he originally planned to pay dividends to the company's major shareholders, but under Li Yifan's persuasion, he changed his mind again, and only took out a small part to distribute dividends to the company's shareholders, and then continued to invest the remaining money in the development and growth of the website.

And soon achieved results, with the advertising laying bigger and bigger, the fame of the forty thieves website in the country is also getting louder and louder, more and more domestic small and medium-sized enterprises, found the door, have begun to open their own online stores on the website.

The company also began to make rapid profits because of the expansion of its business, and in the process of the company's rapid development and growth, he Wang Teng also became the hottest figure in the economic circles of Hangzhou.

Don't underestimate the provincial capital city of Hangzhou, although this city is only a provincial capital, and there is still a gap between the scale and the most developed capital in the country, Puhai, and Yangcheng.

But this is the nest of famous Zhejiang businessmen all over the country, and these Zhejiang businessmen are all rich characters, and don't look at these people entrenched here, but their relationship can be said to be all over the country, and even through the center.

The city is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and there are many hidden rich people who are unknown.

Wang Teng's forty thieves website is now developing very well, coupled with the eye-catching NASDAQ stock market in the United States, so someone started Wang Teng's idea.

Since March and April last year, Wang Teng has received invitations to various banquets. And it's not okay not to go. Because the origins of the people who initiated these banquets are not small. There is no choice but to participate head-on.

And at these banquets, Wang Teng is really strong to a lot of real big people, some of these people are the leaders of the Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce, some are big figures in the political circles, and some are the sons and daughters of the famous big people who are famous all over the country, as well as many bank representatives.

It was these people who kept lobbying in his ear that made Wang Teng's mind move and have the idea of listing the forty thieves.

And about the listing of the Forty Thieves. There are also constant disputes within the company, when Wang Teng founded the company, he borrowed a lot of money and did this deal.

Later, the business became bigger, and it got better and better, even if Wang Teng wanted to return the money to these people, these people didn't do it, and they all wanted to exchange the money for the company's dry shares.

In this case, of course, Wang Teng can't force it, so after several financings. He established himself as the largest shareholder of the company, and Li Yifan's shares were also diluted a lot. However, it didn't have much of an impact, but the shares of other company shareholders are just a numbers game.

Although the shares of those shareholders have shrunk a lot, if they are all combined, they can reach about 10% of the company's shares.

If it was one or two shareholders who came to lobby him, Wang Teng might not mind, but when these people gathered together, he couldn't be careless.

So when these people collectively expressed their willingness to list the company like Wang Teng, Wang Teng, who was still a little hesitant, was completely shaken.

Now that Li Yifan asked him like this, he was really a little embarrassed, because he wasn't sure whose lobbying made him think, and in his own heart, he actually hoped to be able to list the company.

Seeing Wang Teng's expression, Li Yifan already had a general understanding, so he continued.

"Brother Wang, although our Forty Thieves Company is developing well now, if we want to go public, I don't think it's time yet."

Wang Teng knew that Li Yifan had always been very thoughtful, and his view of things was also very accurate, so he immediately cheered up and began to listen to Li Yifan's thoughts.

"Brother Wang, although our Forty Great Thieves Company is not able to develop now, compared to other companies, especially our opponents, we are actually very vulnerable. Not to mention our most direct opponent, E-BAY, Amazon and Yahoo are more powerful than him, the scale of these two companies, which is not bigger than E-BAY? We're developing so well now, can't they see it? I think it's not just the two of them who are interested in us. If we don't go public, they can't do anything with us, they can only start direct business competition with us, but we are based in China, even if they want to get in, it is not so easy, we have the advantage of rule protection. But if we go public, people will throw out three or five billion US dollars, which can make us have an earthquake, and then our energy will be involved in the financial market, and how can we have the energy to seriously develop our website. So I think that although our current 40 thieves are doing well and developing well, compared with international giants, our gap is still far away, and now is not a good time to go public. ”

Li Yifan's point of view is like a basin of cold water, which instantly sobered up Wang Teng, who was still a little hot-headed just now.

"And the second point, our forty thieves website has just shown his potential, and it is far from reaching his extreme, at this time if it is listed, it is indeed possible to circle some money, but for the future of the company, I think it is very cost-effective, no one knows what scale our forty thieves website will develop into in the future, if this time to give up the equity in his hand as soon as possible, I think it is likely to be seriously underestimated by the market, and we must prevent those who have a heart to do something to us, So in order not to underestimate our company, I don't think it's a good time to go public. Are we 40 thieves really short of money, and we really need to make money from the stock market to provide us with development momentum? If that's the case, I can directly inject capital into the company, and we don't need to go public at this time to raise funds, because our capital chain has not yet been tense to that point. ”

Li Yifan's words made Wang Teng nod frequently, in fact, the main reason why he had been hesitating about whether the forty thieves would go public or not was that the forty thieves had just been on the track, and he couldn't even tell what kind of scale they could develop to in the future, so if the forty thieves were listed now, they would definitely be suppressed by those banks and oligarchs, and then the price would be lowered.

In this way, if the company develops in the future, although their most original major shareholders will also benefit from the rise in stock prices at that time, but now they have suffered a big loss, because their original shares are too cheap to buy, and they have been picked up cheaply by others.

When the company's stock price rises, they don't dare to sell their shares too much to cash out, after all, they also need to maintain their ownership of shares within the company, that is, the right to speak, so it is indeed a bit early to go public now.

Regarding Li Yifan's point of view, he did not object to it at all, and even agreed with it.

"Also, Brother Wang, I don't know if you have paid attention to it, the recent smuggling in the economic circles, haven't you noticed that many economists and all kinds of financial journals are talking about the NASDAQ? Many people are saying that this stock market has deviated from its original development track, and now there are too many bubbles in this story, and there is a possibility of bursting at any time. The NASDAQ stock market, for all shijie's Internet companies, is a weather vane of guiding significance, if something happens to this stock market, then all shijie's Internet companies will catch a cold. After all, we do not have the confidence of the United States, we have just developed, we are still very fragile, and our ability to resist risks is still very low. So if something happens to the NASDAQ, we're going to be implicated. The most critical point is that I think what those experts said is not wrong, now the NASDAQ market is too hot, and many people are like crazy to invest money in this market, which has led to a very serious bubble in this market, and according to my opinion, this crisis may break out at any time, so of course I don't want to rush to list the company at this time, otherwise once something happens in the United States, we will definitely be unlucky. ”

Li Yifan's words made Wang Teng frown, in fact, as an employee of an Internet company, he is very sensitive to the situation in the United States, especially in places like NASDAQ.

In the past two years, not only in China, but also in the United States, because of the NASDAQ boom, various Internet companies of all sizes have sprung up in the American market.

A lot of small companies are booming with a concept, and then after building the company, they hype up the concept, and then they will sell the company to those big Internet companies, and it is in this situation that the NASDAQ is on fire.

In fact, Wang Teng certainly hopes that it is best for Nasdaq to survive like this, after all, as a website owner, the better the market, the greater his income.

But as a business operator, he also faintly felt that there was something wrong in this online market, and a large amount of capital poured in, which made this market full of vitality and at the same time, it was also full of copper smell.

The development purpose of many companies has changed its taste, everyone wants to make a lot of money, and there are many new concepts in the past two years, but not many have really developed...... (To be continued.) )
