On March 18, the Wall Street Journal reported the news that Flying6music, the world's largest paid music download website, was about to go public. The F6 Music website provides high-quality genuine music, mobile phone ringtones and other music products to users around the world. The number of registered paying users reached 130 million.

Its partners include film companies, Internet sites, record labels, MP3 and MP4 manufacturers, and mobile phone manufacturers.

The long list of cooperative enterprises makes investors' eyes shine. MGM, Disney, Yahoo, AOL, Time Online, Warner Records, Universal Music, Sony BMG, EMI, Aihui, Rolling Stone, MIPO, B&O, Apple, Nokia, Jinghua, Motorola, Samsung, and many more.

This is an Internet enterprise company that spans music production, user handheld devices, and Internet sales. Provide users with fast music and ringtone downloads. The main active users are mobile phones and MP3 users.

Thanks to the current good sales and profitability of MP3, the financial statements of F6 Music Website for three consecutive years are very bright. Previously, Fortune magazine had valued the F6 music website at $5 billion.

After the news was revealed, Morgan Stanley announced that it would value the F6 music website at $8 billion. According to market sources, Morgan Stanley has a 20% stake in the F6 music website. In 2003, the transaction was funded at $480 million. Two years later, the deal has more than tripled.

However, in the context of the rapid recovery of the Internet industry, F6 can basically be sure that it will be sought after by the capital market, and the over-issuance can be predicted.

The Associated Press, in its comments the next day, argued that there was a lot of moisture in this assessment. As the windfall profits of MP3 manufacturers gradually disappear. The earnings prospects of F6 Music in a few years are not promising. It's too reliant on hardware bundling.

This is a powerful weapon against the development of online music sales by future music manufacturers, but it is also a strict shackle for future development.

But then. Bear Stearns, one of the top five investment banks on Wall Street, announced that it will participate in the underwriting of shares of the F6 music website. The voice of the market has changed again. The capital markets in the United States are keen to discuss the myth of wealth created by an up-and-coming music website.

Liu Yiping, the young CEO of F6 Music Network, began to appear in the public eye.

Palm beach. 78 Seabreeze Boulevard.

"Jessica, what the hell is going on?" In the bright living room on the second floor of the villa, Bruce Fulling put down the newspaper in his hand and asked his daughter who woke up with a hangover. A cup of coffee wafts through the rich aroma on a beautiful mahogany coffee table.

Jessica Fulming just returned to Palm Beach, Florida from Chicago yesterday and has signed her divorce from Jonathan Wood.

The light pink pajamas couldn't cover the slender white long legs, Jessica Fulin rubbed her sleepy eyes and sat on the wide and comfortable off-white leather sofa, "Dad, what's going on?" ”

Old Fu Linming glanced at his disheveled daughter and knew that she was in a bad mood. He handed the newspaper in his hand to his daughter, waited patiently for her to read it, and said, "It's strange that the F6 music website is suddenly favored by Wall Street. I consulted with Daniel Warren. This website is the website of Lu's company. How did Lu become Andy's friend? ”

Jessica Fulin said blankly: "I don't know either. Maybe Andy has an idea to focus on the Asian market. ”

She didn't know that Andy Morgan watched Lu Jing persuade her the whole time. Plus the cooperation proposed by Lu Jing. The combination of these two factors makes Andy Morgan regard Lu Jing as a friend worth dating.

Bruce Fulming was quite dissatisfied with his daughter's answer, and said, "Jessica, I have no objection to you dating Andy Morgan, but..."

Jessica Fulling suddenly sat up straight in anger and interrupted her father angrily. "Dad, Andy is 19 years older than me. Andy and I are just good friends. Jonathan can be unfaithful to marriage, I won't. ”

"Okay, I didn't say it." Bruce Fulling shrugged. He was a little apprehensive about Andy Morgan and drank his coffee, "How much do you know about Na Lu?" ”

The F6 music website was valued at $8 billion by Morgan Stanley. The 40% stake held by Ruifeng is worth $3.2 billion. According to Daniel, Ruifeng is a Lujing enterprise. Apparently. Lu Jing's assets far surpass him.

Coupled with Andy Morgan's importance to Lu Jing. Thinking of the wine tasting on March 11, he showed Lu Jing his face, and he was a little worried now. I hope to figure out the reality of Lu Jing.

Of course, Lu Jingyuan is in Asia, and he does not need to worry about it now, he is worried about whether Lu Jing's entry into the United States with the support of Andy Morgan will cause him any trouble in the future.

"What Lu's information?" Jessica Fulin stood up impatiently, "Dad, don't bother me about your business. I don't understand. I can only sue you, Lu, for being a very special person. With that, he walked out of the living room in his slippers.

She was immersed in a lost marriage, and calling her father to say such a thing made her feel very uncomfortable.

Bruce Fulming looked at his daughter who walked out of the living room in displeasure and dialed a number in Hong Kong. After the merger and acquisition of the Flinming Group, the Flinming family invested in the re-establishment of an asset management company in Hong Kong, Flinming Investment Company.

Lu Jing was very busy after returning to Hong Kong. met with Dong Kuncheng, Mo Xinlan and others to discuss the affairs of Hehua. development opportunities for Hehua Shipping; the cooperation between Jinghua Communication and PLU Telecom in the Japanese market; Confirmation of a plan against the Warren consortium.

While busy with these things, I took the time to get together with the celebrities for a few days. On the evening of March 20, he returned from Sir Ho's salon and asked Xu Xue to sit at a bar on the streets of Lan Kwai Fong. He hadn't seen Xu Xue in a few days.

At the end of March, Hong Kong still had the air of early summer. The bars on the streets are bustling. The neon lights flicker, creating a glowing atmosphere in the night. Lu Jing sat on a rattan chair and slowly sipped his coffee.

"Drip." A white luxury Mercedes stopped on the side of the road and honked its horn, attracting a burst of astonished glances.

Immediately afterwards, a snowy and delicate girl got out of the car. Slightly curly hair at the ends. The loose black T-shirt was emblazoned with a few large words: "Don't mess with me". Very arrogant. A beautiful face, a thin and slender figure, with an indescribable charm.

This kind of flamboyant style of young children. Let the lewd middle-aged uncles see their eyes bright.

Immediately, the driver's door opened. A tall beauty came down, wearing sunglasses to see her face clearly. Pure white T-shirt, plain and simple. Jeans and high heels make long legs long and straight. The slender and plump figure is extremely moving. Expectations for her appearance are multiplied.

Someone whistled. There is no shortage of people here in Lan Kwai Fong who dare to flirt with beautiful women who drive luxury cars.

Ye Jingyu pursed her lips and muttered, "A man's virtue." ”

"Let's go. Lu Jing was there. Xu Xue closed the car door funny, walked through the lounge with Ye Jingyu, sat in front of Lu Jing, took off her sunglasses with a smile, and her charming eyes were filled with unconcealable lovesickness, "Wait a while, right?" ”

"It didn't take long." Lu Jing said with a smile. Looking at Ye Jingyu, she couldn't help laughing. Or the first time I saw her flying and jumping personality, "Jingyu, why are you wearing such a T-shirt?" ”

Ye Jingyu bit her red lip, it seemed that the effect was not bad, Mingxiu's eyes looked at Lu Jing, and explained softly: "Warn those people." ”

Lu Jing shook his head with a smile and asked the waiter to come over and serve wine.

Drinking and talking at the same time, time flies. Ye Jingyu got up and went to the bathroom. Lu Jing held Xu Xue's white and tender hand, got up and kissed her charming red lips. "Xu Xue, don't you think I've been thinking about me these days?"

"What do you say?" Xu Xue asked with a smile, looking at Lu Jing with charming eyes, her face could be reflected in her pupils. Seeing Lu Jingju condescendingly, admiring the plump white breasts lined by the milky white corset in her T-shirt. whispered, "Jingyu is picking out a birthday gift for you with me." When you call. She's there for me..."

Lu Jing stroked Xu Xue's face and said with a smile: "At this time, can we find a place to drive-can't be shaken." ”

"you. You will. I don't want to. Xu Xue glared at Lu Jing shyly, and her delicate head leaned on Lu Jing's palm. Feel the warmth of his palms.

At this moment, the phone rang suddenly. Lu Jing sat down and answered the phone. Inside is a nice woman's voice. Wait for Lu Jing to hang up the phone. Xu Xue asked softly, "Whose phone is it?" ”

Nie asked. She was going to come to see me in Hong Kong on Thursday and asked if I was there then. Lu Jingshu laughed and sued Xu Xue. Wednesday is his birthday.

"Xu Xue, does our agreement on Wednesday still count?" Lu Jing asked with a smile.

"It counts. Can you make time to spend with me? Xu Xue asked charmingly. Lu Jing is a joke. She was happy to accompany Lu Jing on the night of his birthday. But Lu Jing definitely couldn't spare time.

After a while, Ye Jingyu returned. The three of them continued to chat casually and drink. It was nearly 12 o'clock in the evening, Lu Jing received a call from Tang Yue, "Lu Jing, get ready." ”

"Let's get started." Lu Jing calmly gave an order.

Ye Jingyu leaned on the table drunkenly, like a lazy kitten, and asked leisurely with a wine hiccups, "Lu Jing, what's the matter?" God mysterious. ”

Ye Jingyu's wine is very good, but the amount of wine is not good. Lu Jing picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and said with a smile: "The Warren consortium is very hostile to us, and I can't do anything about him in the United States." But in Hong Kong, they can't help it. ”

Xu Xue's alcohol consumption is much better than Ye Jingyu's, and she is still sober, "Standard Chartered Bank?" "The shadow of the Warren consortium looms behind Standard Chartered Bank. The plan identified by Hehua to crack down on the Warren consortium is to target Standard Chartered Bank.

Lu Jing nodded lightly, he had been waiting for Tang Yue's news tonight, put down his wine glass, "Let's go, I'll send you back." ”

As he spoke, he helped Xu Xue and Ye Jingyu into the car and sent the two of them back to Xu Xue's apartment in Tianfu Huafu.
