Chapter 974: The Day Before the Bell Rang

Although he said this, Zhang Hao was still a little disappointed in his heart, even if he understood that it was much more suitable for Mark to represent the company as a Netscape listing than himself.

It was already afternoon when he arrived at the hotel, Zhang Hao sent the simple luggage into the room, gave the waiter a tip and sent the person away, and when the waiter closed the door and left, Zhang Hao buried himself in the sofa and quietly closed his eyes to recuperate.

These days, Zhang Hao is very tired, and this tiredness is not only physical exhaustion, but also mental.

Netscape has grown so fast, faster than anyone expected, and it has only been a year and a half since the company was first established. In such a short period of time, Netscape has completed all the steps from product to market, from capital introduction to upcoming listing, as the founder of Netscape and the current chairman of Netscape, Zhang Hao has paid energy that ordinary people can't imagine.

But it all paid off, and tomorrow they are going to ring the bell, and with the completion of the bell, Netscape's stock will also be officially listed.

All this seemed to be in a dream, which made Zhang Hao feel a little unrealistic. You must know that when he and Mark and others first established Netscape, they never thought that there would be such an achievement today, they only formed this company out of hobbies and interests, but when the company was established, with the completion of the development of the browser, the follow-up step by step development to the present, has completely exceeded the previous imagination.

Thinking of this, Zhang Hao couldn't help laughing at himself and shook his head, all this is simply incredible. Last year, Zhang Hao was just an ordinary international student, but now he has become the chairman of an IT company that is about to go public.

Even before the listing, because of the injection of capital, although Zhang Hao's shares were much less, in terms of shareholding ratio, the return was much higher than his previous investment.

According to the previous valuation and investment of capital, Zhang Hao's 31.5% stake has a wealth of 15.75 million US dollars, although this finance is only on paper, it can be calculated from the company's valuation but it is real.

Now, because of the listing, the proportion of shares held by Zhang Hao has further declined, and now Zhang Hao still holds 28% of the shares, which is more than half of the 60% shares held by Zhang Hao at the beginning. But the account is not calculated like this, with the imminent listing of Netscape, the value of Zhang Hao's shares will undoubtedly rise again, according to the capital and the company's financial team estimates, for the most conservative reasons, when the listing is completed, Zhang Hao's wealth will be in billions, thus leaping from a student to a billionaire.

With hundreds of millions of assets, and it is still US dollars, Zhang Hao never thought that he would have such an achievement, you must know that his current study abroad career is not over, from this point of view, he is still a student.

Zhang Hao is not a young man who has never seen money, since Zhang Jianguo resigned to engage in logistics, the situation of the Zhang family has changed dramatically.

Later, Zhang Hao's mother, Sun Xia, did clothing trading on Maiyang Road, and now although the trade in Maiyang Road has long been transferred, the Maiyang Road market has also been transferred to Ladu Road a few years ago.

But Sun Xia and Gu Jie's boutique clothing business is now getting bigger and bigger, and when Gu Jie invested in the commercial project in the eighth district, Sun Xia also made a part of the investment as an investor, with the gradual completion of the eighth district and the popularity of the commercial project began to gather, now this part of the investment has also begun to have a good return.

Sun Xia is like this, not to mention his father Zhang Jianguo. Relying on the channels and help of the Song Dynasty, Zhang Jianguo's logistics company is now the largest private (joint venture) logistics enterprise in China, due to the early time to enter this line, Zhang Jianguo's logistics company not only has a fairly complete transportation network, but also set up professional warehousing centers throughout the country, which is beyond the reach of many peers.

Even in the past two years, some foreign-funded logistics companies, such as home delivery and other companies, have entered the country one after another and began to develop logistics business. But compared with Zhang Jianguo's company, these foreign-funded logistics still can't compete with Zhang Jianguo's company.

During the development period of the company, Zhang Hao was able to invest more than 300,000 US dollars in the company, which is a large amount even in the United States, so Zhang Hao is not a young man who has never seen money, and his understanding of money is much stronger than that of ordinary people.

But now it's different, thinking that he is about to have a fortune of hundreds of millions of dollars, Zhang Hao's mood is a little difficult to imagine, after all, this wealth is too big, far beyond his imagination. You must know that although Zhang Jianguo and Sun Xia are already rich people in China, the wealth they have accumulated over the years is not comparable to their success in such a short period of time.

For a while, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Hao's mouth, and he suddenly thought of the scene of Zhang Jianguo and him quarreling on the phone last year.

Although Zhang Hao is not very clear about how to persuade Zhang Jianguo after the Song Dynasty, both sides avoided this matter in the contact between Zhang Hao and his family in the past six months, Zhang Hao did not say anything, and Zhang Jianguo did not ask, as if this had never happened.

But as Zhang Jianguo's son, Zhang Hao is very clear about Zhang Jianguo's temperament and personality, including ideas, in his opinion, Zhang Jianguo still thinks that Zhang Hao invests indiscriminately, and wants to watch Zhang Hao's investment fail, and then he, the old man, will clean up the mess for him, so as to determine that Zhang Jianguo's point of view is right.

It's a pity that now I'm destined to be disappointed. Zhang Hao thought of waiting for the stock to be officially listed after the bell rang tomorrow, and what kind of expression would Zhang Jianguo have when he knew about it, thinking about it, Zhang Hao couldn't help laughing.

I had just laughed a few times when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Zhang Hao stood up and walked quickly to the door to open the door, when he saw the person outside the door, Zhang Hao couldn't help but be stunned, originally he thought it was Mark or Jimmy who knocked on the door, but he didn't expect Song Yuanchao to appear in front of him.

"Brother? What are you doing here? ”

"What? Can I not come for such an important occasion? Song Chaoyuan said with a smile, looking at Zhang Hao in front of him, who was already taller than himself, and then thinking back to when he had just returned to Huhai, Zhang Hao was still a naughty little guy at that time.

After so many years, Zhang Hao has become an adult from a child, and he has made achievements that he can't even imagine, and he can't help but feel emotional.

"Of course, of course ......." Zhang Hao said with a smile, then remembered that he and Song Yuanchao were still standing and talking, and hurriedly beckoned Song Yuanchao into the house.

Entering the house, Song Chaoyuan glanced around, Zhang Hao's room was a good business suite, with a small reception room and a small office, nodding slightly, Song Chaoyuan and Zhang Hao sat down on the sofa.

"Brother, what do you want to drink? There's no tea here, but coffee does, so why don't we drink coffee? ”

"Don't mess with that, get me a bottle of water."

Zhang Hao smiled and nodded, walked to the side, took a bottle of water from the small bar in the room, and handed it to Song Yuanchao, Song Chaoyuan took it and said thank you, unscrewed the water bottle, drank a small sip and put it on the coffee table.

Song Yuanchao came two days earlier than Zhang Hao, and he arrived in the United States last weekend, first going to California to meet with George and others, and then to New York.

Netscape will be listed tomorrow, which is a major event, not only a major event on the Internet, but also an important day in Zhang Hao's life. As Zhang Hao's elder brother, how could Song Chaoyuan give up this opportunity to participate in person? What's more, Song Dynasty also holds part of Netscape's shares, although this proportion of shares is not much.

"Brother, when did you arrive in the United States?"

"It's been a few days, but I've been busy with my own business the other day, aren't you going to ring the bell tomorrow? So I came over to see, by the way, is the bell ready? ”

"Ready, Mark is the CEO of the company, he rings the bell on behalf of the company, and Jimmy and I accompany him." Zhang Haoping said.

Song Chaoyuan frowned slightly, but soon returned to normal. He understood something from Zhang Hao's words, and also understood why Mark rang the bell on behalf of the company instead of Zhang Hao, although he felt a little regretful, but this was also a helpless thing, and such an arrangement was not a bad thing for Netscape.

After all, Zhang Hao's identity is over there, if Zhang Hao rings the bell on behalf of the company, then it will inevitably lead to a lot of trouble, whether it is the American business community or the political community, will not want to see a Chinese as an American company to do such a representative, this is actually the case for any country, in terms of the American explanation, it can be regarded as a kind of "political correctness".

Reaching out and patting Zhang Hao on the shoulder, Song Chaoyuan comforted him in this way. Zhang Hao thought about it, and said with a smile: "It's okay, brother, besides, I don't like to show up, and it is indeed more suitable for me to let Mark go." ”

"It's good that you can think like that, it means that you are mature." Song Chaoyuan praised him.

"By the way, brother, ...... my parents?"

"Don't worry, I didn't tell them about this, but it will be different in a few days, tomorrow after the company is listed, you, as a Chinese, are the chairman of Netscape, I'm afraid that some things will soon spread to China, and they will definitely know when the time comes."

"Hehe, that's just as well." Zhang Hao smiled and nodded.

Song Chaoyuan is right, Netscape's listing is a major event on the Internet, Zhang Hao is the company's chairman and major shareholder, although he did not ring the bell on behalf of the company, but Zhang Hao's status in the company is obvious. And after Netscape is listed, I am afraid that it will not be long before Zhang Hao's name will be known in China, and as a Chinese or a Chinese student studying in the United States, it is strange that the domestic media practice does not publicize it, and then Zhang Hao will become famous.

"Would you like to give them a call first? Let them know about it? Song Yuanchao asked.

Zhang Hao thought about it and shook his head: "Forget it, it's better not to talk about this matter first." ”

"You, still angry with your dad? Or are you going to give him a 'surprise'? ”

"Hehe, that's not it, it's just that I'm too lazy to explain it, and let the facts tell him that the situation is not better?" Zhang Hao winked at Song Yuanchao and said playfully, Song Chaoyuan laughed when he heard it, this kid said that he was not angry, but in fact, he was still not convinced, as he said, he planned to give Zhang Jianguo a surprise, but Song Yuanchao felt that after the domestic media reported it, I am afraid that this surprise would become a "fright" in Zhang Jianguo's eyes, Song Chaoyuan was a little looking forward to it at this time, looking forward to what kind of expression Zhang Jianguo would have when he knew that his son had such an achievement.
