Chapter 318： Fundraising and Listing

However, at present, except for exceptional talents, William or Erica have directly determined that they can naturalize the Republic of Atlanta, and most people cannot directly complete the naturalization step.

They need to first obtain a work visa, which allows them to stay in the Republic of Atlanta for one year. After one year, if they want to become naturalized, according to the score, qualified people can obtain the citizenship of the Republic of Atlanta.

This is also because there are no nationals in the Republic of Atlanta, so the naturalization requirements have been relaxed. If the construction here is similar, then the concept of permanent residence will be added, and the work visa will also be divided into several levels. The length of stay in Atlanta will vary, from three months to two years.

It is necessary to obtain permanent residency, that is, the green card of the Republic of Atlanta, and then be naturalized according to the score after three to five years.

At present, the various systems of the Republic of Atlanta have not been fully established, so the advantages of the Atlanta nationality cannot be seen. After the development and establishment of various systems, it is estimated that the competition for naturalization will be very large.

At present, there are not many people who have officially joined the nationality of the Republic of Atlanta, including Chen William, mainly some people who took over the government including Erica and Alicia, and the Southern Crusade including Roger. Some high-rise.

Because the Southern Crusade is a mercenary military organization belonging to the Republic of Atlanta, it is not necessary for all members to become the nationality of the Republic of Atlanta.

In addition to TC Engineering and Construction Company, TC Asset Management Company is also preparing to enter Atlanta. They plan to build a building on Atlanta Island first. This building will not be too high and will be divided into two parts: hotel and office building.

During this period of time, there were a lot of guests who went to Atlanta, mainly for the bidding of various projects, but the conditions in Atlanta are so poor that the most basic accommodation cannot be solved, and apart from accommodation, personal hygiene is very important. It is also a problem, so now on the docks of Atlanta Island, the most frequently seen every day are the mobile prefabricated houses and mobile toilets shipped with the ship.

Many people from neighboring countries were also hired to clean up the excrement from the mobile prefab house, and then bury it in the paved soil, which can be regarded as increasing the fertility of the soil.

Therefore, if these basic conditions are not well established, it will not be easy for Atlanta to enter the fast lane of development. It has to wait for the stage of rapid construction and development there, at least until almost a year later. Most of the current infrastructure can be It's time for results.

Before this, Chen William still had to think more about how to make money. These infrastructure constructions were too expensive, mainly because he had his own plans. In order not to repeat the construction in the future, many projects hoped to be completed in one step.

Facilities like the sea-crossing bridge, Love International Airport, and nuclear power plants, not to mention Atlanta at this time, are far beyond the capacity of Palu before, so these projects are tendered for At that time, there was no lack of doubtful voices, thinking that Atlanta was too optimistic about its own development, and it was completely useless to kill chickens.

After confirming these things in the magic capital, and accompanying Ivanta for a few days, William Chen went to Yanjing.

At present, Li Ying, CEO of Future Investment Company, is in Yanjing. She has several things to deal with during this time.

The first is the refinancing of Xiaomi Corporation. At the time of the initial investment, William Chen’s Huaxia Future Capital, with an investment of US$10 million and a post-investment valuation of US$40 million, got Lei Jun, who was not yet called Xiaomi, to start a business. 25% stake in the mobile phone project.

More than half a year later, due to the birth of this world, the arrival of mobile social APP was announced earlier, and Chen William also established Huaguo with Ali Company in Huaguo, and promoted it in Greater China; APP, Therefore, Lei Jun's Xiaomi company did not rush into this field, but watched and fought with the penguin WeChat later.

The earliest mobile social APP in China, Michao, did not appear in this world. After the establishment of Xiaomi, Lei Jun's main focus was on the localization of the Android system, the MIUI system, and the development of smart phones. Manufactured up.

So far, the development of MIUI has made very good progress, and the smartphone has a relatively satisfactory solution, and is ready to start looking for suppliers for final mass production.

So at this time, Lei Jun decided to start financing again to raise funds for mass production of smart phones, so that Xiaomi mobile phones will come out next year.

Because Chen William specially added anti-dilution clauses in the previous seed round financing, so in this financing of Xiaomi, Huaxia Future Capital of the future investment company can follow the investment to ensure that the 25% of the shares he holds will not be be diluted.

However, Li Ying's main purpose this time is because through the observation and research during this period of time, her views on Xiaomi have changed. From the initial disapproval, to now she is more aware of it, so this time she will not only be satisfied with To keep the shares from being diluted, he took the initiative to come to Yanjing, hoping to have a good talk with Lei Jun and strive for a higher share in this financing.

The second thing is that Youku is going to the US stock market for an IPO.

At present, the top two players in the online video field of Huaguo are Youku and Tudou. In the past, after choosing, William Chen invested in Youku. Huaxia Future Capital invested 100 million US dollars and obtained 20% of Youku.

After that, thanks to the resources of the Meta Group behind Huaxia Future Capital in Hollywood and the Huaxia film and television industry, Youku has developed more smoothly and has already surpassed Tudou.

Now, after the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis, US stocks have shown signs of recovery from the second half of the year, especially after September. In particular, the Chinese concept stocks, including NetArt, Zhalang and other stocks, have a very good upward momentum, so the founder of Youku has the idea of ​​​​going to the United States for an IPO.

The reason why you want to conduct an IPO at this time is that, in addition to financing, the more important thing is that Youku hopes to win the title of the world's first online video platform listed on the US stock market, which can make Youku's global influence reach Dingfeng.

After all, at this time, YouTube, the world's most famous online video platform, has no plans to go public after it was acquired by Google at a sky-high price.

If it's just for financing, even if you don't go public on the US stock market, with the strength of the investors behind Youku, you can continue to support its capital needs, especially Huaxia Future Capital, which is behind William Chen, and hundreds of millions of dollars are not at all. will be looked at by him.

But in addition to Youku, their competitor Tudou is also preparing to hit the US stock market IPO, and if all goes well, it should be listed earlier than Youku.

In this regard, Youku is also very anxious. Since William Chen is a major shareholder of Youku, this time Youku's US stock IPO, the underwriters are Goldman Sachs and Citi. UU Kanshu So Youku also contacted With Li Ying, I hope she can help herself and speed up the listing.

Chen William knew that there was no need to worry about Youku, because Wang Wei, the founder of Tudou.com, divorced his host wife at the end of 2007. At that time, after several rounds of financing for Tudou.com, Wang Wei's shares were not too many. Therefore, he was worried that his ex-wife would share the shares, so he directly used cash to divide the property with her.

I know that the valuations of such Internet companies are all at one time or another. From 2007 to the present, after several rounds of financing by Tudou, the valuation has changed. Therefore, when preparing to go public now, if The other party knows the current valuation of Tudou, so it will definitely not give up, just like in a previous life, Wang Wei's ex-wife sued him to the court, and then the shares of the main company listed on Tudou were frozen by the court due to disputes, so the near-listed company Tudou can only miss the opportunity to go public.

In the end, Youku will overtake on a curve and win the title of the first video stock listed on the US stock market, thus developing rapidly. After Wang Wei borrowed 7 million to reconcile with his ex-wife, and went public again after half a year, the situation in the US stock market was completely different at that time. come bigger.

Therefore, even if the world has changed and Wang Wei's ex-wife did not take the initiative to confront him in court, she can still stand up after a "reminder", after all, it is for the benefit.
