It is now early November 1999, and there are only four or five months before this round of collapse of the Internet bubble. Yi Ruoshui feels that the listing of Starry Internet and Starry International will definitely not be a problem before the deadline, but the funds raised by these two IPOS alone are not enough to allow Yi Ruoshui to fulfill his dream in the cold winter of the Internet.

However, Starry Internet uses IPO to raise $180 million, which is almost the limit, so Yi Ruoshui set his mind on the convertible bonds issued after listing. Wei Shuanghua immediately asked: "So should we Starry International issue a round of convertible bonds?"

Yi Ruoshui shook his head: "I think it may be too late, and Starry Sky International is a pure search company. There are greater opportunities when winter comes!"

Wei Shuanghua already understood: "Is Starry Internet ready to start a large-scale acquisition when the Internet arrives?"

She has been in the United States for more than half a year. She can be said to be a witness to this Internet bubble. At first, she felt that the power of the Internet was so magical. However, seeing so many Internet companies that have no actual business and have suffered serious losses not only successfully listed and raised tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars, but also have soaring market value. She felt that Yi Ruoshui's words really make sense. This is a complete Internet bubble. Although it is prosperous at the moment, this bubble will sooner or later burst.

When the cold winter comes, it is the era when cash is king. Now other online companies think that listing is the real peak moment. After listing, they make random acquisitions and spend money to burn the US dollars raised by iPo at a crazy speed. This even includes some of the oldest successful companies, such as the famous Lucent and Nortel, and China.com in another time and space.

When the cold winter comes, these big companies that are crazy about acquiring and burning money can only be sold at discounts. Starry Sky International is the most conservative company in Silicon Valley on investment issues. However, this does not mean that Wei Shuanghua does not have the idea of ​​a large-scale acquisition, but she has decided to make the acquisition according to Yi Ruoshui's ideas.

Now acquiring may cost ten times or twenty times a premium. However, when the cold winter comes, countless online companies that squeeze out the bubble are waiting for Wei Shuanghua to buy with cash. Sometimes, they can win a well-known large company in the industry without cash. Now an online company with a market value of billions of dollars may only need tens of millions of dollars or even millions of dollars to win their inheritance.

Yi Ruoshui affirmed Wei Shuanghua's idea: "The valuation of domestic websites is soaring. I think I can no longer afford to invest. It is better to wait until they calm down before talking about investment, and it will be easier to acquire after they go public."

Another domestic three major portals in Time and Space were listed after the collapse of the Internet bubble. As a result, there was no company with a market value of one billion US dollars in China's Internet market. NetEase was almost delisted. Under the oppression of Starry Sky Internet, their market value must be lower, and it is more convenient to acquire it.

Xie Yuhong suddenly asked the old question: "Yi Ruoshui, since that's the case, why do you still want me to talk to Xintianheng about the establishment of Starry Sky Haibei? Xintianheng's psychological expectations are not low! I think you are deliberately doing this chess game with Starry Sky Haibei."

The starry sky in Haibei was talked about by Xie Yuhong to Zhou Jingfan, so she knew the causes and consequences of this matter well.

Although the agreement that Xie Yuhong and Xintianheng finally negotiated not only guaranteed profitability in 2000, there are also a series of quite harsh conditions, and there are even many conditions that are very favorable to Xintianheng. Under normal circumstances, Starry Sky Internet will not bear such a big risk, but these conditions are all agreed by Yi Ruoshui, so Xie Yuhong signed such an unequal agreement with Xintianheng.

But now when Yi Ruoshui talked about the problem of this Internet bubble, Xie Yuhong felt that Xintianheng and Qingpeng Industrial's battle might really be due to Yi Ruoshui's fanning the flames. Yi Ruoshui also said helplessly: "I mostly give them some sweetness and leave some back-up, but I didn't expect that before I took action, Zhou Jingfan fought with Cao Qingpeng and fought so hard. No matter how powerful my back-up is, it will not be useful!"

Xie Yuhong felt that Yi Ruoshui had something to say clearly, but Guo Huijun had already flew over there: "I knew my brother loved me! I like the ending like this, so it would be best to take this opportunity to completely build a new Qingpeng Industry."

Chang Qinzhu also flew over with Guo Huijun. Yi Ruoshui finally broke through the siege of Guo Huijun and Chang Qinzhu, but found that Wei Shuanghua and the others were looking at him with interest. In desperation, he could only give up on himself: "Okay, okay, brother should have loved his sister, Huijun and Xiaozhu, you both listened, Sister Shuanghua and Sister Ziling just now didn't ask us what arrangements we had after we went public. I think when we raise money, Huijun, you and Xiaozhu go to the provincial capital!"

Xiaozhu herself is from the provincial capital. She was very happy when she heard that she could return to the provincial capital, but Guo Huijun was a little reluctant. After all, after she went to the provincial capital, she had fewer opportunities to meet Yi Ruoshui: "Isn't Aunt Jiang in the provincial capital there? Why do you have to go there and Xiaozhu with me specifically!"

Ji Xueyao understood why Yi Ruoshui asked Guo Huijun and Chang Qinzhu to return to the provincial capital: "Huijun, you don't understand how much your brother loves you. Is it left Mr. Jiang alone to take charge of such a big project in the Internet New City? You and Xiaozhu will only be relieved if your brother goes there!"

Century Network New City will be the number one project for Starry Sky Internet. However, before, Jiang Yulian, the chief technology officer, took care of it. Now Guo Huijun understands that Yi Ruoshui handed over this matter to her and Xiaozhu: "Since it is my brother who asked me to go to Tianze with Xiaozhu, then I will go with Xiaozhu!"

When talking about the relationship between Guo Huijun and Tianze, Yi Ruoshui couldn't help but think that Guo Huijun in another time and space bought several houses in Tianze in the future, not only did he even invested in a small property, but every investment was very successful, so he asked Guo Huijun to go to Tianze: "Don't worry, you have a clear idea of ​​this matter with Xiaozhu first. If you really start, you have to wait until our convertible bond is issued. In the past few months, you will learn this management knowledge with Xiaozhu. When you arrive in Tianze, you must be able to keep the situation!"

But he felt that Guo Huijun would definitely be able to hold back the situation. The Century Network City project was handed over to Guo Huijun to deal with, which would definitely make a lot of money that Yi Ruoshui could not count. Moreover, the launch of Century Network City is now the best time.

Although both Starry Sky Internet and Tianze Municipal Government are willing to launch the Internet New City project as soon as possible, the development of things is not as simple as imagined. Starry Sky Internet must at least wait until the first batch of convertible bonds are successfully issued before there is enough cash to start the project. The Tianze Municipal Government also has countless procedures to deal with. They not only have to persuade the Government Council but also beware of possible competitors.

However, Yi Ruoshui is very clear about the development situation of the provincial capital. As long as Guo Huijun and Chang Qinzhu are careful to keep an eye on it, the profits of the Century Network City project will reach an incalculable level. After all, no one would have thought that the provincial capital would develop so rapidly after 2000. It would be difficult for this project to not make a lot of money as long as it is a little careful, let alone that he chose the most popular land in the provincial capital.

And Guo Huijun has already understood: "Brother, don't worry. After returning to China this time, I will go to Tianze with Xiaozhu to study hard and ensure that the project of Century Network City is foolproof."

If someone else is going to run the Century Network City project, Yi Ruoshui may not be relieved, but Guo Huijun and Chang Qinzhu Yi Ruoshui think it is a double insurance: "I'm not that anxious. After we return to China, we will take a vacation first and relax, but..."

Yi Ruoshui couldn't help but look at Wei Shuanghua: "Teacher Wei, I will have to work hard for you recently. The next listing of Starry Sky International will be foolproof!"

Now the listing process of Starry Internet is about to come to an end. Although there are still many subsequent problems to deal with, they are all about holding celebration banquets, how to have a holiday, and preparing for the exercise of rights. However, Starry Sky Century's listing process has just begun, and there are still many details to deal with later. Wei Shuanghua, who has to stay in the United States, has even asked Wei Shuanghua to help deal with the issuance of convertible bonds. In the past few months, Wei Shuanghua has to be busy alone.

But Wei Shuanghua laughed: "It's nothing to work hard during this period. When I go home for the Spring Festival this year, I'm going to have a long holiday for myself. Yi Ruoshui, you have to arrange everything for me. This is the homework arranged by the teacher for you. You can only hand over 100% of the homework!"

Yi Ruoshui was excited when he knew what Wei Shuanghua meant: "Teacher, I promise 101 points for this homework, don't worry!"

Yi Ruoshui knew that this would be a very special assignment, even more important than the listing of Starry Internet on Nasdaq.

Starry Internet's journey on Nasdaq has not been much turbulent. After all, this wave of Internet bubble has come to an end. Although Starry Internet's stock price jumped to $17 at the opening, the highest point was only $29, and at the close, it was only $23, which is completely incomparable to Internet miracles such as Netscape and Yahoo. It has not created many billionaires, so everyone thinks that Starry Internet's listing this time is not perfect.
