"Brother, don't you go to Nasdaq to ring the bell?"

"No, you go! In the next few years, many of our companies will go public. Ringing the bell is not that important to me."

Hill couldn't help pursing his lips when he heard his brother's words.

Tens of thousands of Internet companies in Silicon Valley are waiting for the approval of the Nasdaq Securities Management Committee to go public. In the eyes of those companies, this is the most anticipated moment for all founders.

But in his brother's mouth, it became the most boring time.

"Brother, [say hello] if after this listing, our shares may be diluted to less than 10%. Do we really want to cash out after it goes public?"

Tao Xi, who was lying on the recliner, couldn't help but nodded while looking at the sea view not far away that belonged to Manhattan.

[say hello] This product will definitely not escape the fate of being eliminated in the end

Moreover, those communication operators will not allow Tao Xi, who knows the best about the Internet, to continue to operate it. So far, Tao Xi has received nearly 40 resignation reports from executives on [say hello].

12345 Internet Technology is not the highest salary in Silicon Valley, but because of the Internet structure and salary structure here, the company has always had room for improvement that other startups cannot match.

That's it, there are still people who can voluntarily offer to resign.
That means that his group of shareholders can hardly sit still, and they have already started waving the dollar bills in their hands to poach his corner.

The purpose is to drive 12345 away after [say hello] goes public!

In any industry, if someone encounters difficulties, then all the people in this industry can work together, but once they are on the eve of reaping the fruits of victory, this group of people will start their own way of internal fighting !

Rather than doing this, it is better to quit early and let them operate by themselves.

After all, [Say hello] is just a transition, and the patent of voice communication technology is already in his hands, and this kind of software that relies too much on other people's development to obtain traffic will just be eliminated in the future.

"It's okay, it wasn't our thing, and we got what we got in return!"

"Neil Community Hospital will also become an independent Neil Group in the future. If it weren't for these old guys, we might not be able to gain a firm foothold in the medical industry. We have already obtained a lot!"

Tao Xi waved at his younger brother indifferently and closed his eyes.

Seeing his brother's appearance, Hill left the room in some confusion. When he got on the bus downstairs, Li Fuzhen took the initiative to ask, "Is your brother not going?"

Hill lay on the co-pilot and rubbed his cheeks vigorously and replied: "Yes, he just rejected me."

Li Fuzhen was not surprised by Hill's answer.

"Marco came to South Korea to talk about it several times. Every time he said that your brother's big tree is too big now. It seems that the split of Sunshine Media and Sunshine Industry has indeed made many people's nerves sensitive."

Hill nodded approvingly upon hearing this.
Regarding his elder brother, Hill dare not say that he is the one who knows best, but after living together for so many years, no matter how awesome his elder brother is now.

His nature is that little guy who crawled out of the sewer by his own hard work!

He still remembered that during their most difficult years, Tao Xi came back with a cake in his arms. Although he generously let him eat with Marco, Hill clearly remembered that Tao Xi's eyes were very unhappy.

How can a person who is eating cakes care so much about other people grabbing things from him be willing to take the initiative to give up a listed company to others?

But there is no way, the current Sunshine Industrial Group is growing too fast

The big tree attracts the wind, and the "flexible employment" method recently proposed by 12345 Network Technology has really eased the employment pressure in the United States. Now it is not just businessmen who come to Tao Xi, but more politicians!

If the emergence of the North American locksmiths union has made Panama Commercial Bank successfully regard Central America as its back garden, then 12345 Network Technology is a towering tree!
No one knows how much value this company can create in the future and how much pressure it will create.

Fortunately, the Nasdaq Exchange is not too far from Manhattan Island. Before Hill got out of the car, he saw a lot of familiar faces being interviewed by reporters from all directions.

Nasdaq has no clear restrictions on how many people can be on the stage to ring the company's listing bell. The presidents or shareholders of these communication operator giants are so active in order to satisfy their own personal ideas!

For example, incorporating [say hello] into their own communication operator service system or bringing something in it into their own control to increase their market value or draw a big pie for their investors!
first time when hill got off the bus
The surrounding mess of flashing lights and paparazzi voices swallowed Hill in an instant. If the security guard at the gate of Nasdaq hadn't reacted quickly, Li Fuzhen would have been crushed to death.

"My God!"

"Journalists in America are crazy!"

"Do you know how ridiculous the question I just heard is?"

"They actually asked me about the private lives of the two of us!"

Li Fuzhen hid behind Hill with a terrified expression on his face. Hill almost laughed out loud when he heard this sentence. If it wasn't for the seriousness of the occasion here, he might have rolled all over the floor.

"Of course, this is about freedom of speech!" Hill replied with a look of disdain.

Seeing Hill's expression, Li Fuzhen couldn't help shaking his head helplessly, "Tao Xi" is not just the name of a rich man in the United States, but represents a chaebol!

That's right, it's the chaebol. Many people in Korea privately call Tao Xi, Marko, and Hill three members of the "Tao Xi family".

And the Samsung daughter label on Li Fuzhen's body was washed clean. Since the two got married, some Korean media initially called them a match made in heaven!
However, with Tao Xi's retirement and Hill's rise to power, more and more people called her the new generation of women in power in the "Tao Xi family"!

Although Tao Xi has many women, he has never told the outside media which woman is the main palace!
Hill is different, Li Fuzhen, as the woman he is marrying, is Hill's only official palace, and Hill's technical nerd makes her feel at ease.

As a woman in the "Taoxi family" who can be recognized by the media, she has also learned a lot of inside information

The term freedom of speech in the United States is fundamental to the upper class. You can only say what those in power want you to say, if what you say is not what they approve of.

Then you will most likely be out of luck!

"Hey, Fuzhen, I'm going in soon, remember to keep smiling, I don't want some unscrupulous media to say that there is something wrong with our husband and wife relationship again."

Li Fuzhen, who rolled his eyes, took Hill's arm and accompanied him like a lady, and Hill kept saying hello to the shareholders and the media around him as if he wanted to be a winner.

The news on TV is broadcasting every step of [say hello]’s listing, the hostess is wearing a black skirt and is constantly leading the cameraman and some big shots to say hello.

It can be seen from the gaze of the host that her final interview target is the Hill couple not far away.

When Hill finished talking with another man, the ABC host shouted eagerly at Hill: Mr. Hill, Mr. Hill! "

Hill glanced at his wife before nodding politely to the host.
"Hello, is the host of ABC? Nice to meet you!"

"Mr. Hill, you are my senior, do you know? I am also very happy to meet you!"

Li Fuzhen, who was standing beside Hill, showed a slight smile. She had seen this kind of green tea bitch a lot, but she knew that these people had no attraction for Hill!

"Oh? Really, thank you!"

The host saw that Hill was indifferent to her proactive greeting. She also had some numbness, but her good qualities still made her react.

"As the president of [say hello], how do you feel at this time today?"

"Your brother is very popular with girls, Mr. Tao Xi!"

Tausi took the glass of red wine that Nidalee Calvin offered to pour for him and said politely: "Thank you!"

When Nidalee heard Taoxi's words, she took a sip of the red wine in the glass before teasing: "I remember you should be very interested in beautiful women? Don't you just say something to a beautiful woman like me?" Thank you?"

Tao Xi took a look at Nidalee Calvin, who was wearing heavy makeup but still looking good beside her, and couldn't help but slander in her heart, saying that it really fits your name very well!
"If your father is not Joseph Calvin, if you are not here to represent Motorola this time, I will definitely give you the highest respect!"

"But this time you are here to discuss business with me, I don't think I need to cause me too much trouble at all!"

Tao Xi put the red wine glass that he drank in one gulp on the table before throwing the "equity transfer contract" that he had prepared a long time ago on the table.

"This is [say hello] the contract for the transfer of 3% of the legal person shares. With him, you can have one vote against it."

The first time Nidalee Calvin saw the contract, her breath became short of breath. If it wasn't for her good tutoring to keep her restrained, she might have held the contract tightly in her hands.

"I'm here to cooperate with Bell Labs, and I hope to get this contract."

Tao Xi poured himself a glass of red wine and pointed to the live broadcast of a group of Nasdaq people speaking on the stage on the screen, and replied: "The highest price wins, don't talk too much nonsense, you can Don't say too many boring things, I just want money, or shares that can make my heart move, only these things are the beginning of your negotiation with me."

Nidalee Calvin glanced at the spokesperson of Bell Labs who was giving a speech and couldn't help asking: "Do you mean to wait until the company's market value is determined after the company's listing?"

"Of course!"

“I’m bullish on [say hello]’s current value at this stage.”

Nidalee Calvin thought seriously after hearing Tao Xi's words, after all, people in Tao Xi's position would not have a word of nonsense in their mouths.

The arrival of Motorola this time

In fact, Tao Xi had long thought of a buyer. Although one of his in-laws was the Samsung Group, after one or two years of running-in and communication in the Mainland, the Samsung Group has always had a good control over their core business of mobile phones.

Even Li Fuzhen couldn't do it, so Tao Xi planned to try to get part of the authorization or patent authorization through Motorola!
After all, he already has a mobile phone chip factory. The reason why MGM can become the leader of Hollywood's "technical" light and shadow technology is because of the AMD he bought at the beginning!

Now that he has the chip, if he can get some technical authorization from Motorola, then his long-cherished mobile phone business can be launched!
"What do you want?"

"Patents! Motorola's technology sharing as well."

Before Tausi finished speaking, Nidalee Calvin interrupted: "Impossible, absolutely impossible, mobile phones are our core business!"

"Don't rush to refuse, I don't need any money for the [say hello] in my hand, you can try to communicate with the person behind you, after all, this is just a negotiation, if you don't want to, I have another customer who wants it later Come."

It can be said that Tao Xi's forced palace did not save Nidalee Calvin any face, although she is also the daughter of Motorola.

The departure of Nidalee Calvin did not affect the listing of [say hello] on Tausi watching TV.

Nidalee Calvin was only his first guest, and it was impossible to put an egg in the basket. The next person was more interested in Tausi.

If Motorola doesn't work, he still has a budget option.

When Hill on TV slammed a hammer on the gong, Nidalee Calvin finally walked in, but her face seemed a little ugly.

"Mr. Tausi, Motorola needs a stake in your next cell phone company."

"impossible!"

"If you give me such an answer after going out for half an hour, then you can leave. You know, the value of say hello is not only what you see!"

Tausi no longer wanted to talk to Nidalee Calvin, but waved to the camera behind him, and soon a gray-haired old man appeared respectfully standing behind Nidalee Calvin. She said, "Miss Calvin, you can leave now."

Nidalee Calvin, who was standing there, turned her head and left when she saw Nasdaq announce on TV that the stock of [say hello] rushed into a skyrocketing sequence from the first moment of opening.

A trace of excitement appeared on the faces of all the shareholders at the scene!

Nidalee Calvin thought of the group of shareholders of communication operators who must have raised their hands in favor of Tao Xi's plan to get involved in the mobile phone industry, because he is a person who is good at making wealth!
