Chapter 089: Globalization and the Internet
New week, woken up in the morning by the ringing of the phone.
Breaking free of Hong Aya, who was entwined with him like an octopus behind him, Su Hang picked up the microphone, and Tao Nuanyu's voice was on the other side.
The sister-in-law said good morning perfunctorily and went straight to the point.
There's quite a lot going on.
Let's talk about Yahoo first, next Monday local time, more than ten hours later, that is, here today, the No. 1 portal in the United States will start a week-long IPO roadshow.
However, the focus of today's topic is Yahoo's competitor, Excite, the same portal, whose IPO roadshow has ended in the past week, and the reverse is not bad.
According to more detailed information collected by Tao Nuanci, the portal, which mainly distributes news content, has preliminarily confirmed that it will issue 2 million shares at an IPO price of $8 and raise a total of $16 million.
And...... The official IPO date is also confirmed, April 4.
Apparently competing with Yahoo.
Yahoo's current IPO offering price is estimated to be between $10 and $15, depending on the upcoming roadshow subscription data.
The Excite, which is ahead of the curve, can be said to be good and bad.
The advantage is that it can help Yahoo test the capital market's reaction to this kind of new technology companies in advance, and the disadvantages are...... Taking the lead, in case of bad market feedback, it will undoubtedly have a rather negative impact on Yahoo.
Now, judging from the subscription data of the Excite Roadshow, which ranks second in its category, more than twice the number of new shares issued, at least, Yahoo, which ranks first, will definitely not have an IPO, but no one can predict what will happen before the IPO day.
Then came the second thing associated with Yahoo's IPO.
Su and Hangzhou's "Gale", Tao Nuanyu and Yahoo have been in contact with a number of North American newspapers and magazines, read the translated manuscripts, and learned about the deeds of a certain young writer, especially the first chapter of "Gale", which directly caused a business magazine in China to set a world record for sales that month, and they have all given positive feedback, even if some newspapers that do not have serialization conventions, they have stated that they can make an exception.
After all, after confirming that the sales volume of 15 million is not a joke, it is impossible for the market-oriented Western media to remain indifferent.
As a result, it has now become a 'seller's market' where you can take the initiative to choose which parties to work with.
Tao Nuanyu and Yahoo have the same attitude towards this, of course, the greater the influence, the better.
After deliberation, Time magazine was decided.
That's right.
It's the one that often puts all kinds of celebrities on the cover.
After all, Su Hang is not a real hairy boy, just a little cover, and he can understand the gold content of "Time", but in the end, he is not so excited about being a human in two lives.
After a little confirmation, I will ask about the follow-up.
Tao Nuanyu obviously thought that Su Hang didn't know about "Time", and deliberately explained a few more words, who had landed on the cover of this magazine and so on, and then continued.
It turned out that "Time" noticed Suzhou and Hangzhou in the turmoil a year ago, and this time it can be regarded as a further step.
Of course, the key to the cooperation between the two sides is the sales of "Shanghai", and "Times" confirmed it in detail through various relationships, so I dare to believe that the sales of "Shanghai" in a single month are real.
Go deeper.
A sixteen-year-old boy, of course, is now seventeen years old, but after all, he is only a minor teenager, and in less than a year, he has done so many things, especially one of them, starting from scratch and becoming one of the billionaires in China.
This is obviously something to watch very much about.
Therefore, before the serialization of "Gale", "Time" asked for an interview with Su and Hangzhou first.
The face-to-face kind.
Of course, it is not that after Su and Hangzhou go to North America, "Time" also has a resident reporter in China, who will rush to Heyuan to have an interview with Su and Hangzhou.
Interviews and the like, Su Hang has no opinion, but after Tao Nuanyu finished speaking, he mentioned a little bit about last year's turmoil...... Don't talk about it, everything else is fine.
The family is ugly, or it is better not to publicize it.
Tao Nuanyu was obviously a little embarrassed.
Both of them also know that the Western media just like to talk about this the most.
However, after a little tug-of-war, Tao Nuanyu still agreed and said that he would communicate with the reporter of "Time".
After compromising, Tao Nuanyu talked about the part of the compromise between Suzhou and Hangzhou.
Or the content of "Gale".
Since it is going to be published overseas, it is necessary to have more global content.
Su Hang's attitude is still the same.
That's it for the first chapter, however, you can add some later, and at the same time remind Tao Nuanyu not to get too much hope, because ...... Not necessarily a good word.
Su Hang could feel that he was gradually a little crazy over there, but he was still patient, bargained, and finally got one, that is, about the Internet, it must be mentioned, and it is clear that this is an 'outlet'.
Yahoo previously agreed to sell shares to Mercury Capital, and invited Suzhou and Hangzhou to give the IPO platform at that time, to a large extent, because of this.
I was sure that I would write it, but of course Su Hang had no opinion.
Then came the third thing.
Regarding Zhong Qiying's side, a certain 'studying' doctor is obviously not familiar with things like overseas registered companies, and after several communications, he still contacted Tao Nuanyu, and the eldest sister-in-law said on the phone that the matter has been basically done.
Or registered in the Cayman Islands.
The name was picked by Zhong Qiying, Suzhou and Hangzhou also dared, requiring a high-end, sounding very scientific and technological kind, and finally determined to be spiral technology (Spiral Technology), spiral, not only the deepest genetic spiral of life, according to Zhong Qiying, many material molecules, are also helical structure.
On the phone, Tao Nuanyu first criticized Su Hang very gentlemanly for paying attention to such a thing as sildenafil, and then wanted to buy shares.
Tao Nuanyu obviously also saw the huge market potential of sildenafil.
However, just after saying bad things, you want benefits, is there still heavenly reason?
Of course no.
The two quarreled a few words, Tao Nuanyu could only give up, and discussed some trivial things such as asking Su Hang to apply for a passport and visa as soon as possible, and unconsciously chatted for more than half an hour, and finally hung up.
As soon as Su Hang put down the microphone, a confused voice came from behind him: "It's so annoying." ”
As he spoke, he wrapped himself up again.
Su Hang glanced at the alarm clock at the bedside, it was almost six o'clock, and he still had to go to morning self-study, and he had just talked about it, and before leaving, he planned to log in to the Exact website.
Coaxed away the woman behind him, Su Hang got out of bed and dressed, and came to the attic.
As soon as you come up, you can see that the lights are on in the innermost room.
Yesterday, a group of girls were here, and after dinner, Zhongli Jasmine took most of the women to the ninth building of Fugui Garden to settle down, and Tao Nuanci was also called home again, but there were still some left.
In addition to Xin Wen and Xia Lan next door, on the attic side, it was Yao Lan and Yao Ran last night.
Su Hang turned on the light, turned on the computer, and just sat down at the computer desk outside, when a greeting came from his ears: "Are you up?" ”
Turning his head, he looked at a petite girl, and said deliberately, "Are you a sister, or a sister?" ”
The girl stiffened her face: "What do you say?" ”
"Oh......" Su Hang pretended to be stunned, deliberately stood up, and greeted him seriously: "Good morning, Teacher Yao." ”
Yao Lan simply ignored a certain guy.
Last night...... Because there was no door in the attic, I didn't know if it was worry or something else, so I fell asleep very late.
I have to go to school in the morning, so I still have to get up early.
I was thinking about whether to resign like my sister, but I didn't want to do nothing, and I didn't want to be raised by him...... What does that look like?
So, now...... Or his teacher.
These thoughts flashed chaotically, and Yao Lan motioned towards the staircase: "I'll go down and make breakfast, well, what do you want to eat?" ”
"A casual, nine mature."
Yao Lan blinked and reacted.
It's a ...... Joke.
He tugged at the corners of his mouth.
Ignoring him, he walked to the stairs on his own.
However, when I came downstairs, I couldn't see anyone, and I had some gains and losses...... Will he be too boring to catch her jokes?
Waiting for the English teacher to go downstairs, the computer in front of Su Hang also finished booting, and as soon as he entered the Cite page, there was another fragrant breeze.
Sister again.
Holding his hands in his arms casually, as he spoke, Su Hang looked at the website in front of him.
The typical homepage of the Internet 1.0 era, all kinds of rough, however, what makes Suzhou and Hangzhou more pleasing to the eye is that it is not like Yahoo, with two 'four cakes' hanging on both sides of the LOGO.
On the other hand, Su Hang also judged almost at a glance why Yahoo was the first, and the website in front of him could only rank second.
Because Yahoo's content, relatively speaking, is already very rich.
Excite in front of me mainly provides news and information, and can provide a lot less services than Yahoo.
Of course, Yahoo can only be described as rough in the eyes of Suzhou and Hangzhou.
Click to browse for a while, then open Yahoo, and compare, Su Hang also found a point.
There is no registration mechanism for both websites for the time being.
Registration, this is a great tool to increase user stickiness!
Since no one else has reacted, maybe, next, you can do it yourself.
By the way, and the mailbox.
E-mail isn't a rarity anymore, but, again, neither Yahoo nor Extreme is thinking of providing users with things that would seem commonplace to Internet surfers in the decade or two.
All are advantages.
It's all money.
Thinking so, Su Hang found a pen and paper and wrote it down.
Registration Mechanism.
Email.
And......
Many, much more.
However, in order to avoid revealing the heavenly secrets, it is still in my mind for the time being.
After finishing writing, he put the notebook in a drawer on the side, and Su Hang turned to his arms, and found Yao Ran squinting his eyes and looking drowsy, and asked with a smile: "Didn't sleep well last night?" ”
Yao Ran leaned behind him: "Wait for you, I didn't wait." ”
"What are you waiting for me to do?"
"Do that."
“……”
Yao Ran tried to turn around and face the young man, but he looked weak: "You take me back, I want to make up for a while." ”
"Skipping breakfast?"
"Don't eat," Yao Ran said: "Hong Aya said that she was going to Shangdu to purchase fabrics today, and I will go too, and when I get there, I will eat well." ”
Su Hang picked up the girl with the princess's hug, walked to the inside, and said, "Bring more money and buy a few more beautiful clothes." ”
Yao Ran hung his arm around the young man's neck, and said deliberately when he heard this: "Do you think my current clothes are not good-looking?" ”
"It's not that I'm not optimistic," Su Hang smiled: "It looks like it's quite in the way." ”
Yao Ran snorted like a girl yesterday, but said, "Here, there's a cabinet......
As he spoke, he had reached the couch in the middle of the room.
Su Hang put the girl up, Yao Ran raised his hand and pointed to the corner: "...... What's inside? ”
"A tape of doing that."
Yao Ran blinked his eyes and said quickly, "Open...... I'll take a look. ”
"Wait for me to leave," Su Hang said with a smile: "Let Sister Hong Aya open it for you, she has the key." ”
Yao Ran got back into the quilt, but when he heard the words, he said, "I also want the key." ”
"Then let her match you one."
The boy was satisfied with his answer, took his hand, squinted her eyes, and soon fell asleep.
Su Hang sat aside and waited for a moment, then withdrew his hand and got up and went downstairs.
After eating, Tao Nuanci and Cao Wanwan came on time, added a Yao Ran, and the group rushed to the school.
Today's morning self-study in Class 3 is English, but Su Hang has to be distracted.
There are so many things.
first sorted out the matter of getting up early and talking to Tao Nuanyu on the phone, and then turned to the explanation that Zheng Shuming came specially on Saturday.
An article about the 'tuyere'.
I also remembered that I don't know how long it will take to have an impact on the TV industry.
Set aside for now.
Or ponder the 'tuyere'.
Zheng Shuming came here on purpose, and Su Hang couldn't even refuse, obviously, it was very important.
It's definitely not okay to write without heart.
Now the question is, what exactly should I write?
Actually, one has been determined in advance, the Internet.
As for the rest......
Such as VCD, such a 'tuyere', Su Hang thinks, it is inevitable that it is a little stingy and not enough pattern.
At least on par with the internet.
So, all morning, Su Hang quickly wrote down various words in a draft book.
During this time, the English teacher also made a serious round.
Everyone else is reading, just someone, keep looking down...... How does this work?
Suzhou and Hangzhou are not used to it.
Stretched out his hand and slapped it with five cents, and beat it away.
Then move on.
It wasn't until the end of the morning self-study that Su Hang suddenly reacted after rebrowsing a few pages full of vocabulary.
All of this, even the Internet, has a larger context – globalization.
This is also the key to China's rise for many years to come.
For this country, this is undoubtedly the biggest 'outlet'.
Others, all walks of life, machinery, chemicals, food, pharmaceuticals, electronics, retail, etc., are just pigs flying up under this huge 'tuyere'.
So, again, a theme was identified.
The bell rings for the end of class.
The English teacher, who had been slapped five cents, hurriedly left with a red face, and the other students also got up and moved.
Su Hang did not move, but picked up his pen and wrote a title that was then circulated and remembered by many people: "Globalization and the Internet".
