Chapter 347: A Tough Problem
Hearing that these friends still supported his company's listing in the United States, Ding Lei felt a little comforted. He smiled and said that after his company's listing in the United States was successful, everyone would follow up and list together, and become enviable billionaires! ...
The reason why Ding Lei is so persistent in wanting to list NetEase is that the current development model of NetEase is more similar to that of Yahoo in the United States. In addition to the huge user base, there are not many profitable projects. Even now that it has built its own search engine and NetEase portal, the situation has not improved much.
After all, at this stage, it is not as easy as it would be to earn considerable advertising fees through portal websites. The development of the Internet industry and the number of practitioners and corporate companies are not that large.
Compared with Kingsoft Software, which has a deep foundation, and Penguin, which has strong funds and a clear development direction, the situation of NetEase is also embarrassing. This is one of the main reasons why Ding Lei is eager to go public in the hope of obtaining large amounts of financing to develop the company's new business and achieve transformation.
After finishing the remote video communication with the other party, Ding Lei quickly called his subordinates and ordered them to revise the first draft of the plan for listing in the United States as soon as possible, and fax it to Korea Comet Capital after he reviewed it.
The subordinate nodded in agreement, but he did not expect his boss to be so quick. Before, he had only thought about going public, but now it seems that he has made up his mind! However, the company going public is not a bad thing for them! After all, it is very prestigious for employees/middle and senior management cadres of American listed companies to say so! …
After finishing the remote video conference, Ma Huazhu quickly adjusted his mentality and returned to work. During this period, the turnover of games and chain Internet cafes continued to rise steadily, bringing a lot of profits to the company, and also made Ma Huazhu and other senior executives think about opening chain Internet cafes in other prosperous cities.
The main reason is that the Internet cafe's business model and super high profit margin are so consistent with the main business of their Penguin Company. The two complement each other, and the comprehensive benefits achieved are far greater than the effect of "1+1>2"!
In addition, after successfully winning the lawsuit filed by AOL against them for infringement and plagiarism, Ma Huazhuo also ordered his subordinates to follow up on the victory and sue AOL in the Nanshan District Court of Pengcheng for alleged slander, rumor-mongering and extortion. The reason for doing so was not only to gain more support in public opinion but also to clarify the previous rumors in one fell swoop.
More importantly, Ma Huazhuo learned from the news from Korea that the AOL headquarters in the United States is now too busy to take care of itself. The series of negative public opinions that have been exposed, both true and false, are enough to make them drink a pot, and they have no spare energy to do other things. In addition, with a series of evidence in their Penguin company, after the lawsuit, they still have a great chance of winning.

Inside the office of the chairman of Korea Comet Capital.
Zhang Junfeng looked at the pile of information in front of him, feeling quite melancholy. He didn't expect that this New Data Technology Company actually involved people from multiple companies and government departments. From the other party taking on various official telecommunications businesses of the Korean government, to them looking for third parties to seek cooperation.
There are certain tricks in almost all the upstream and downstream industrial chains. Zhang Junfeng, who is used to the unspoken rules in business, quickly saw the clues from the information. Once they make a fuss about New Data Technology Company, it will inevitably affect these people.
If they cannot convince the other party to cooperate, then in the subsequent process of hyping up New Data Technology's stock price, those who have a vested interest in NewData Technology will most likely do something unexpected for the sake of immediate interests, causing their operations to fall short of expectations, and they may even end up "making wedding clothes for others in vain"!
Considering this situation, Zhang Junfeng quickly contacted Leon John and told him the key issues. If they could not reach a consensus on interests with the senior management of New Data Technology Company, the subsequent operations would be difficult to proceed as smoothly as they expected.
After listening to the key points of Zhang Junfeng's analysis, Leon John couldn't help but fall into deep thought. If it was just to convince the top management of New Data Technology Company, it shouldn't be too difficult, but there were too many companies and departments involved behind the other party. If they couldn't convince all of them, there would indeed be a great risk.
"...How about I visit this New Data Technology Company in the name of the head of the Goldman Sachs branch and feel out their opinions and ideas? I think in the face of huge benefits, they should be willing to cooperate."
Leon John thought about it for a while, but he was reluctant to give up such a golden opportunity. He planned to visit first to test the other party's strength. It would be a pity to give up directly for some reason.
Hearing Leon John's persistence, Zhang Junfeng nodded in agreement. In his opinion, this opportunity was indeed good, but the risk behind it was indeed too high. So the income is proportional to the risk, but the greater the risk, the higher the possibility of their investment failure.
He does not want to suffer a big loss at this juncture, which would result in him being unable to mobilize more funds to short the Nasdaq index when the Internet bubble bursts next year.
…
At the Shilla Hotel Golf Course, Zhang Junfeng watched Kim Jong-min, who had just hit a beautiful eagle shot, return to the rest area. Zhang Junfeng smiled and applauded and congratulated him.
"Brother Zhongmin is a good golfer. If you have the chance, you can come over here and practice with him more often! Fuzhen often complains about my poor golf skills!" Zhang Junfeng laughed and made fun of himself, causing the people around him to laugh.
Jin Zhongmin was also familiar with Zhang Junfeng's overtures, and he soon began to compliment him in various ways, "Golf is something you get a feel for the more you play it. Junfeng, you must be too busy with Comet Capital's business to spare the time!"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Zhang Junfeng also laughed when he heard this. It was a very pleasant and fun thing to communicate with such a "human spirit" and enjoy the other party's flattery! ...
"Junfeng, my wife (KBS radio host) recently mentioned that Internet technology companies in the United States have been rising like crazy recently, and she keeps urging me to buy some. You are an expert in investment, is there any profit in buying Internet company stocks in the United States at this time?"
