On February 26, 2006, Walker had already rushed to the parent company from the European branch three days ago, and today, as the founder of Bluestar Technology Group, Luo Sheng arrived in New York by special plane with more than half of the core management team and the initial team of the group company.

"This is CNN, welcome back, Bluestar Technology Group (BTC) is fighting for an IPO......"

"Bloomberg News Update, Bluestar Technology Group has begun to attack the IPO......"

"If we look at the valuation of Bluestar Technology Group, this will be the largest IPO in history......"

Luo Sheng and his team have just arrived on the North American continent and have not yet stepped out of the airport terminal, and the major mainstream media news here has begun to report on it, and the large electronic billboards in Times Square in New York have also appeared here today Luo Sheng and his core management team members of Bluestar Technology.

It can be called a young Zhuang school enterprise group.

All eyes are on it.

In late February this year, Luo Sheng and Bluestar Technology Group have continued to dominate the world's headlines, compared with last year's Baidu IPO activities, let everyone see what it means to be a row.

Industry insiders and domestic melon-eating netizens are also strong onlookers, Luo Sheng is definitely the ultimate idol of the contemporary post-80s, and industry practitioners and countless entrepreneurs are envious and emotional.

For Luo Sheng, now is undoubtedly ushering in his highlight moment at the peak of the mall, which is the dream moment of countless entrepreneurs.

……

Bluestar Technology Group has an office in New York.

At this moment, Luo Sheng and his core senior management team are gathered in a small room, some are standing and some are sitting, but everyone is very excited, even if they travel for a long time, they can't see how tired they are.

Luo Sheng sat in one part of the room, he looked quite calm, and said with a calm smile: "The 12-day global roadshow will start on Monday the 27th, which is definitely a super difficult and super torturous journey, starting from the first stop in New York and ending in London. OK, we have less than six hours to rest before the first stop of the roadshow, everyone hurry up and take a good rest, but don't doze off in front of the camera at that time. ”

Chad Hurley said: "Boss, everybody is nervous at this time, but more often than not, at least my cerebral cortex is so excited that I can't sleep. ”

There was a burst of laughter in the room, and Luo Sheng chatted with the core team members for a while, and immediately forced everyone to rest.

Qin Weimu, Erin, Xu Yong, Yu Jun, Li Mingyuan, Feng Yi, Bai Lang, Lu Siming, Su Yali and other team members all went to the hotel that had been arranged to rest.

Another hour passed in a hurry, and there were only more than five hours left before the first stop of the roadshow.

In fact, when everyone got together just now, it was already past two o'clock in the morning on February 27.

……

As soon as the morning dawned, Luo Sheng was woken up by the alarm clock, although he still wanted to sleep a little longer, but he didn't have time to lazy bed him.

There is only more than an hour left before the first stop of the roadshow, Luo Sheng quickly finished washing, he is still not wearing formal clothes, he is still the iconic IT boss style, T-shirt + jeans + sneakers have become his logo.

It's very cold at the moment, so I added a coat, but even though the temperature outside is cold, the enthusiasm in people's hearts is enough to drive out all the cold.

The special car had already been prepared, and Luo Sheng led the company's core team to the first roadshow location after leaving the hotel.

After about half an hour's drive to the destination, Luo Sheng went to the indoor hall of the roadshow and asked a partner from an investment bank next to him, "How many people will come?" ”

"About nine hundred people, maybe more than a thousand."

A few minutes later, everyone entered the venue, and there were still twenty minutes left before the official start of the roadshow.

Qin Weimu said to everyone: "Let me briefly say that the management will arrange the position in the first row, and there will be the LOGO logo of Bluestar Technology Group on it, Brady will come to the stage to give a brief introduction to the roadshow activities, and then he will introduce Mr. Luo." ”

Qin Weimu continued to add: "When the time comes, everyone can applaud and keep smiling, and look at the camera in front of them. ”

Everyone nodded one after another, everyone was the first time, and they had no experience, but fortunately, there were professionals like Qin Weimu among the team members, although she had never presided over the IPO or something, she actually knew the whole process well.

After a few more minutes, a large number of investors began to walk into the roadshow venue.

Luo Sheng met Paul Watson of Goldman Sachs Capital, an old acquaintance, who represented Goldman Sachs at the last shareholder meeting.

This day has been too long awaited, congratulations in advance on the success of the first roadshow." Paul Watson said with a smile, and he came to Luo Sheng and shook his hand politely.

"Yes, it's too long to wait, Bluestar Technology won't let investors' money go down the drain." Luo Sheng said with a smile.

"That's how it should be, haha, then I'll sit on the side first."

"Please."

Strange investors appeared one after another, and the final confirmed result was that there were 1,059 people who came, and more than 90% of them were European and American investors, large and small.

Finally, the first roadshow in New York officially began.

On the side podium, a bald white middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes and glasses spoke: "Good morning, I am Brady, head of the global capital markets department at Morgan Stanley, and I am very honored to be able to open the first roadshow of Bluestar Technology Group's IPO. Citibank, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, JP & Chase, Morgan Stanley and other brokerage investment banks attended, and there is no doubt that Bluestar Technology Group is the most exciting company we have encountered in our careers......"

Brady briefly introduced the event, and finally made a grand speech again: "Next, I would like to invite Mr. Luo Sheng, the founder, chairman and CEO of Bluestar Technology Group. ”

As the words fell, the audience gave warm applause.

Luo Sheng, who was sitting in the first row under the logo of Bluestar Technology Group, got up with a smile, and immediately turned around to greet the more than 1,000 investors in the audience, and then he walked to the podium.

At the same time, Brady saw Luo Sheng coming, and the two sides shook hands politely and completed the handover of the podium.

The eyes of the audience focused on Luo Sheng alone, and the applause ended, but there were still some small exchanges and discussions, and many investors were talking to each other.

They were still shocked by Luo Sheng's youth.

An investor sitting next to Paul Watson suddenly whispered to him: "Mr. Paul, once Bluestar Technology Group successfully IPO, Mr. Luo Sheng will become the youngest CEO of a [Fortune 1000] company, I think most investors should be like me, and the focus will be on whether Mr. Luo Sheng is mature?" Is it really possible to take charge of a huge IT giant? ”

Not everyone knows Luo Sheng and Bluestar Technology Group very well, especially for the many large, medium and small investors present who want to participate in the subscription.

"This is probably a common topic about him and Bluestar Technology Group, usually the advantages of a young head are considered to be creative, understanding the latest technology, with these qualities, the head of Bluestar Technology Group is beyond doubt." Paul Watson said lightly: "It seems that young people generally lack the care of decision-making and the experience of dealing with difficult situations. ”

The investor agreed.

But Paul Watson suddenly changed his words: "Is this really the case? Not really, there are always exceptions. ”

The investor said curiously, "Oh? ”

Paul Watson sighed in his heart that he already knew some of the contents, but he signed a confidentiality agreement, so he couldn't disclose them to the outside world, and if this skeptical investor knew about the three major matters voted on at the original shareholders' meeting, he wouldn't have thought so.

"Silicon Valley's preference for young people helps explain the recent underreporting in the venture capital industry, and we looked at more than 500 technology and engineering companies with annual sales of more than $1 million and more than five employees, and concluded that the average age of successful business founders is 39, and the number of founders over 50 is twice as old as those under 25, and the data shows that experience is more important than young," the investor said. Age provides a clear advantage, as for Bluestar Technology and Mr. Luo Sheng......"

He didn't go on, because the founders, who were under the age of 20, had almost no data to refer to.

Paul Watson actually wanted to agree with his point of view, but the facts of experience and the current performance level of Bluestar Technology made him have to change this idea, at least in Luo Sheng, he can't use common sense to look at it, he smiled:

"There is always a survivorship bias, and Mr. Luo Sheng has proven that at least with him, age does not matter. What matters is technology, passion, intense curiosity, and ...... Super high IQ level. ”

Speaking of which, Paul Watson also ended the whispered private chat with the other party, and turned to look at the young man standing on the podium who made Wall Street boil.

Because Luo Sheng has already taken over the podium from Brady.
