Time flows like flowing water in the bustling city, and every minute and every second, a new story is staged here.

On the Oujiang River in Wencheng, a giant dragon spans both ends of the city, and it is the Xinghai Bridge!

It is invested by Xinghai Group, with a total length of about 1.2 kilometers, divided into two floors, with people under and traffic on the top, with four-lane two-way lanes, that is, one-way dual lanes.

When night falls, the neon lights on the bridge gradually light up, reflecting the sea of stars.

At the beginning of October, the Xinghai Bridge was finally opened to traffic.

Its opening to traffic has brought unprecedented transportation convenience to the people of Wencheng.

Since then, people are no longer constrained by traffic, and people can travel more freely between the city and Oubei to enjoy the convenience of life.

In the past, people usually had to ferry between the city and Oubei, which was very inconvenient.

Nowadays, in addition to large trucks, people and vehicles can pass unimpeded, which is very convenient.

With the opening of the bridge to traffic, the flow of people in Xinghai Square has increased rapidly, and commercial activities have become more and more prosperous, just like the Chinese New Year.

Fang Bai's mother told him that after the bridge was opened to traffic, the daily turnover doubled, and the house in Oubei was easier to sell.

At the beginning of the year, the average price of new houses in Oubei was more than 3,000, and the good floors were 4,000.

Today, the average price has risen by nearly 1,000 yuan, which is more expensive than in the urban area.

A total of 150 villas have been booked, and pre-sales began at the beginning of the year, and the price increase is planned to be increased after New Year's Day.

By this time, Fang Bai's personal wealth had risen to 26.7 billion yuan, which was still far from the upgrade of the middle finger.

When a person gets busy, time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's New Year's Day 1995.

In the past few months, Xinghai Group has developed new products such as small digging XH75C, small digging XH90C, medium digging XH150C, 50-meter pump truck, 200 kilowatt four-cylinder engine, small and medium-sized 90 kilowatt diesel engine, Xinghai Pentium computer, etc., which have sprung up.

The number of employees of Xinghai Network Company has also reached nearly 100 people, and the web layout and overall framework are being designed according to Fang Bai's requirements.

In those years, there was no web software, and I was just doing the basics and collecting information.

For example, Fang Bai plans to make 365 navigation, Internet café assistants, and instant messaging platforms.

Of course, it is clear that this cannot be achieved with current technology and personnel alone.

At this stage, Fang Bai is mainly formulating a strategic plan for the next three or four years, of which the Internet café assistant is the most important project at present.

On the second floor of Hualian Supermarket, there has been a "Hualian Bar", neatly placed twenty or thirty Xinghai Pentium computers, even if the hourly cost of the computer reaches ten yuan, but the attendance rate is still 100 percent, and there are many students queuing up to watch.

"Oh, this classmate, I can't even turn on the phone, or don't waste money, give me the plane."

"It's just that you won't come to learn, you better go to other positions and line up honestly, I'll be on for two hours."

"I'm dizzy, two hours!"

"yes, it's hard to wait for me, haha, if you wait, it's lunch."

The classmate looked at other machines and there were students queuing, and couldn't help but complain to the waiter not far away: "Waiter, when will you increase the equipment, such a big place, only so many computers, not enough points." ”

The café is currently staffed by two waiters and a technician, who have repeatedly answered the shouts and complaints of the students.

"Wait a little longer, we have to wait for the production of Xinghai Group, there are so many stores across the country, we have allocated it here earlier, and it is estimated that there will be a batch of new machines in about two weeks."

"Hey, it's going to take two weeks." Hearing the waiter's answer, the student who asked was worried. These computers are the most advanced computers in China, and it is difficult to buy them at present, and they cannot be found anywhere else.

The school's computer is a 586 gift from Xinghai Group, and it has been more than a year.

The current computer is the sea of stars, and the latest computer that has just been put into operation is much faster than that of the school.

There are 10,000 or 20,000 students in the school, and of course there are many wealthy students, who of course want to enjoy the best computers.

Moreover, in the Internet café, the decoration is exquisite, each seat is a comfortable small sofa, if you are thirsty, go downstairs to the supermarket to buy some drinks, very convenient, of course, the Internet café is also sold, is a little more expensive.

The followers of Hualian Supermarket can't see through the significance of running Internet cafes at all, and they are very profitable. They also ridiculed the fact that the investment in computers was too large, and that the cost of using computers was so expensive that not many people could afford to pay for them, but a small number of people still saw business opportunities.

The hourly cost is as high as 10 yuan, and if there are 10 hours of operation a day, the cost of computer investment will be recovered in more than 100 days!

Even if you only have five hours a day, you can pay for yourself in seven or eight months.

Other investments are not small, and it is expected that all investment costs can be recovered in a maximum of one year.

If you have 50 computers, the daily attendance rate is high and the time is long, the profit is not lower than that of a supermarket.

Of course, they have also calculated the risk, the computer is an electronic product, which will be eliminated soon, and the investment is too large, and it is impossible to buy the Pentium computer of Xinghai Group.

At present, Xinghai Group's computer production workshop is already at full capacity, Fang Bai requires the production of no less than 50,000 computers within half a year, and the amount of production will be quickly put into the Internet café, and there is not much goods flowing into the market.

Up to now, Fang Bai's personal wealth has risen to 30.5 billion yuan, and the assets of Xinghai Group have reached 50 billion yuan.

Xinghai Square in Lujiazui is ready to invest in construction, and Xinghai Square in HP District will be put into use in two or three months.

As for the Xinghai Building, it is planned to solicit design proposals from all over the world after the year, and it is expected to start construction in 1996 and strive to be put into use in 2000.

Xinghai Group currently has a lot of liquidity, and it doesn't need so much money to hoard land, and the development speed can't keep up.

Buying land doesn't mean that you can buy it at will if you have money, if that's the case, Fang Bai wants to hoard thousands of acres of land in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, and the government agrees, then he definitely doesn't agree.

Every city has a land transfer plan every year, and the purchased land must be developed in a timely manner.

Fang Bai knows that the form of real estate in the next few years has not yet reached 2000, and real estate has not yet exploded, so there is no need to rush.

For him at the moment, he has enough personal wealth, and he still focuses on scientific research.

Therefore, Fang Bai temporarily paid off the loan, mainly because the loan interest was too high, and the billions of yuan he borrowed would cost hundreds of millions of yuan a year in interest, which was not a small pressure.

Xinghai Machinery Co., Ltd. currently focuses on the development of Zhongdu XH200C and large digging, 200 kilowatt six-cylinder engine, 250 kilowatt six-cylinder engine.

Last year, Xinghai Machinery Company's revenue reached 9 billion yuan!

Xinghai Technology Co., Ltd. sells about 5 million VCD machines, with a revenue of about 13 billion yuan.

Xinghai Real Estate Company has developed about 600 acres of residential land in Wencheng, with an average price of 3,600 yuan and a sales income of 3.8 billion yuan, which does not include the real estate of Lanhua Yu'an Villa.

The official pre-sale of Lanhua Yu'an did not start until mid-1995, and the deposit was paid before.

Since the start of construction, this villa project has been carried out for more than a year, and the main body of 399 villas has been almost built.

The slow progress of the construction of these villas is mainly due to the structural drawings, which increases the difficulty of construction, which is not like a residential area, which is basically not much different.

The main body of Fang's mansion has been built and renovated, and it is expected to be renovated by the end of the year.

As long as you can move into the villa, you can prepare for your son's wedding.

For her, the whole family's career is booming, she just wants to hold her grandson, and even urge her son, it is not a problem to hold another wedding with her husband.

Xinghai Commercial Co., Ltd., that is, Xinghai Plaza, had a turnover of about 600 million yuan last year, but most of the turnover was merchant revenue, and Xinghai Plaza took a split, even so, the net profit after tax reached 100 million yuan.

After the opening of the Xinghai Bridge, coupled with the increase in prices, the people's income has been increasing, and this year's revenue is estimated to reach one billion yuan.

Xinghai Construction Company's revenue mainly comes from the group's internal projects, with a project cost of about 200 million yuan, and the main costs are labor costs and equipment investment, and the profit is only tens of millions of yuan.

To sum up, Xinghai Group's total revenue in 1994 was about 26.4 billion yuan.

Last year, Shencheng's GDP was 215 billion yuan, the first in the country, and it is conceivable that Xinghai Group's revenue is terrifying, and it has surpassed the national GDP ranking of the top 20 cities.

Of course, during this period, the GDP of the port city reached 1,029.7 billion yuan last year, and it was not until 2010 that Shencheng surpassed it.

Xinghai Group is very powerful in China, but it is really not good in the world.

With more and more product models of machinery companies, monthly revenue continues to increase.

Three months later,

Winter has gone to spring, and the time has come to April 1995.

A light rain drifted in the sky of Shencheng, like a soft music, slowly flowing in the air.

The trees in front of the Xinghai Group office building had sprouted, and Fang Bai sat on the sofa and listened to Qin Shuyu report to him on the financial situation of each company last month.

Especially for technology companies, the monthly revenue has fallen a lot compared with last year, and the ex-factory price of D machine has been adjusted again, which is currently 2,000 yuan, and the terminal price has been adjusted to about 2,500 yuan, and the sales volume has not increased much.

The DVD player has been successfully developed, and Fang Bai plans to launch it again in another year or two.

The focus of tech companies has shifted to computers, software design, and mobile phones, and every day is training and learning.

Years later, when Fang Bai announced that the technology company would no longer develop an extension of the DVD player, all technical employees suddenly felt an employment crisis.

They're not going to be expelled, are they?

However, Fang Bai then announced that they would start a new training and study and would not lay off employees, and the technicians breathed a sigh of relief.

At that time, Fang Bai solemnly said to them: "VCD player and DVD player, before 2000, our group will definitely withdraw from the stage, and will not develop home appliances in the future, what we want to do is to compete with the world's technology giants for the cake of the future, instead of staying in the comfort zone all the time."

I am sure that computers, software, and mobile phones are emerging industries in the next ten years, and we must keep up with the pace of the times and try to learn new knowledge so that we will not be eliminated by the market, and I hope everyone is sober. ”

For technicians, there is passion for developing new products, especially in emerging industries, and of course, there is no small pressure.

After Qin Shuyu finished talking about the financial situation of the domestic subsidiaries, he told Fang Bai about the situation of Xinghai Investment Company.

At present, Qin Shuyu has taken over the financial report of the foreign investment company from Fang Bai and helped him sort it out.

Fang Bai took it and looked at it and understood.

Sure enough, by 1995, the stock prices of the three stocks had risen sharply.

In the same period last year, Xinghai Investment held a total of about $3.35 billion in principal from customers, and owed $200 million in interest.

Microsoft stock, which was bought at an average price of $770 a share, is currently rising very well, reaching $1,400, nearly doubling the increase.

At present, Microsoft's market value is more than $60 billion, and Xinghai Investment Company has invested about $1.5 billion in Microsoft stocks, accounting for a very small proportion, which is still far from 5%.

Intel INTC, which reached $4,000 a share when it was bought (post-weighting calculation), is currently hovering around $7,500, which has also nearly doubled.

Cisco stock, the average price at the time of purchase was about $350, and the current price is about $650.

In the past year, there have indeed been customers who have withdrawn principal and interest, but new investments have been added, with a principal amount of about $3.4 billion and $750 million in interest still owed.

The book value of the three stocks has reached $6.2 billion!

Excluding principal and interest, earnings are expected to reach $2 billion.

It's just that it hasn't been realized, and this wealth has not yet been recognized by Goldfinger.

If realized, Fang Bai's personal wealth has reached 50 billion yuan.

At present, Cisco's market value is about 10 billion US dollars, and Xinghai Investment Company holds a large proportion of shares, reaching 8%, and it has been announced when it accounts for more than 5%.

Financial institutions on Wall Street also don't know why Xinghai Investment Company holds so many shares of Cisco, but judging from the rally of Cisco stock in recent months, it is indeed a big profit.

After reading the report of the investment company, Fang Bai was in a happy mood: "It's pretty good." ”

It wasn't long before Qin Shuyu learned that Fang Bai had such a big investment overseas, which shocked her to the top.

can think of Xinghai Group's revenue of more than 20 billion yuan last year, so it is good to accept the financial report sent by Simmons.

Seeing Fang Bai lying on the sofa with a comfortable appearance, he felt that he had no feelings for the profit on the book, he just smiled lightly, and couldn't help muttering: "Husband, why don't I feel that you are particularly happy, the book profit is two billion dollars." ”

Fang Bai squeezed out a big smile: "Hehe, that's enough." ”

Qin Shuyu was amused by him and laughed, and said, "Well, that's pretty much the same." ”

Fang Bai disagreed: "Wife, as long as the stocks are not realized and the money is not in your pocket, you can't be happy too early." ”

"Well, you do have a point. By the way, husband, will Hualian Supermarket go public next month? ”

"Well, the prospectus has been issued, and the pre-sale shares are ready to be sold, and it is expected to be listed in mid-May." Fang Bai replied.

At present, the number of Hualian supermarket stores has reached 320, the monthly revenue of the supermarket has reached 60 million yuan, the net profit after tax is about 15 million yuan, and the average profit of a single store has decreased slightly, mainly because the number of colleges and universities is small.

As for the Internet café part, since it was put into operation on New Year's Day, there are currently 30,000 computers, and the monthly turnover will reach 80 million yuan, which is more than the supermarket.

Of course, the investment in Internet cafes is also very large.

The money from the A and B rounds of financing, plus the money from the supermarket's profits, was all invested in the Internet café.

The fixed assets of Hualian Supermarket are about one billion yuan.

According to the current situation, the annual profit can reach 700 million yuan this year and more than 1.2 billion yuan next year.

Therefore, the pre-investment valuation of Hualian Supermarket is about 20 billion yuan.

It plans to raise 5 billion yuan and sell about 20% of the shares.

With this 5 billion yuan, the number of Hualian supermarket stores will reach more than 500, the number of computers in the school Internet café will reach 150,000, the number of Internet cafes outside the school will not be less than 1,000, and the number of computers will reach more than 300,000.

From April 25 to 31, the IPO intends to offer about 500 million shares globally, of which 80% is an international offering, 20% is a public offering in Hong Kong, and another 15% is over-allotment rights. Each board lot size is 100 shares, and trading is expected to commence on 8 May.

According to the prospectus, the issue price per share is HK$11, and the admission fee is as high as HK$1,100 based on a lot of 100 shares.

Even with such a high admission fee, it still didn't stop the hot subscription scene.

Yesterday, the Shenzhen reporter of the brokerage company obtained the news from the brokerage that the oversubscription multiple of the stock has reached 50 times, that is, the subscription funds have reached more than 250 billion yuan.

There are three main reasons why Hualian Supermarket has been subscribed:

First, the entire Hong Kong stock market has been ignited recently, attracting a large amount of capital to enter the market.

Second, the relationship between Hualian Supermarket Company and Fang Bai has indeed brought more confidence to investors, and Fang Bai's shrewd business methods have given investors greater confidence and provided strong support for their business development.

What the outside world did not expect was that the revenue of the newly opened Internet café of Hualian Supermarket Company was so good, and the prospects were bright, and the investment cost could be recovered in seven or eight months.

Third, unlike traditional industries such as real estate that were listed before, Hualian Supermarket's supermarket and Internet café industry is widely favored by the market, because Huaguo's demographic dividend and consumption upgrading drive the development of the industry.

"My husband is really amazing, he only invested 300,000 yuan at the beginning, and in just four years, he tossed out a listed company with a valuation of more than 20 billion yuan, and also brought a group of classmates." The corners of Qin Shuyu's mouth were smiling, and his eyes flashed with a look of pride for him.

The 59 students in the class, if the listing is successful, their shares will be diluted to 0.432%, and the valuation will not be less than 100 million yuan.

In other words, Hualian Supermarket was successfully listed, and 59 billionaires were born.

Nowadays, various domestic media are frantically reporting on the grand occasion of the listing of Hualian Supermarket, as well as these dozens of senior students who have not yet graduated.

"Eh, isn't your husband powerful, do you only know now?" The corners of Fang Bai's mouth hooked, and he smiled slyly.

Qin Shuyu glanced at him: "You are sometimes not serious, this is in the chairman's office." ”

Fang Bai looked at his fiancée who was sitting opposite him and poured tea for him with an aggressive gaze, with a smug expression on his face: "Okay, let's not be serious when we go home." ”

"I'll tell you about serious things, ignore you, I'll be busy first." Qin Shuyu smiled cautiously, put down the financial information in his hand, and then twisted his body slightly, leaving the chairman's office, leaving the figure of a floral skirt. (End of chapter)
