In the next hour or so, Dai Wensen made dozens of calls to Li Mukuang, but the mobile phone held by Li Ziwei had already been turned off.
Moreover, before leaving the United States, Li Mu was not going to turn on the phone again.
He has two mobile phones. The number of one is only known by real friends and relatives around him, as well as the core backbone of Makino Technology and Taobao Technology. The number of the other mobile phone is given to most collaborators outside who can talk to Li Mu, but the mobile phone number Most of the time, she is led by Li Ziwei.
If you have the number of your first mobile phone, you can always find Li Mu. He always carries this mobile phone with him and it is not turned off 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
However, if you have the number of the second mobile phone, you must first tell Li Ziwei your request, and then Li Ziwei will relay it to Li Mu. If Li Mu is in a good mood, he may answer it, but if he is not, he will definitely not respond.
Dai Wensen thought he had a good relationship with Li Mu, but he only had the number of his second mobile phone.
After playing for a long time, the phone was shut down, and Davinson was in a panic.
Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that trying to mediate with Li Mu on behalf of his colleagues on Wall Street would actually make Li Mu so furious.
He called his colleague on Wall Street who asked him to do something and scolded him. He cursed him with all kinds of curse words for five minutes without letting go.
On the other side of the phone were more than a dozen capital-playing tycoons on Wall Street.
It was they who got together for a meeting and then approached Devinson for help.
I hope that Li Mu can give him face and not block all the brothers from getting rich.
Unexpectedly, Li Mu really didn't give him any face.
Devinson said angrily: "It's because of you greedy vampires! Li Mu no longer plans to go public in the United States!"
"Shit..." More than a dozen people on the other end of the phone cursed in unison.
One person exclaimed: "Davinson, are you kidding me? We've already prepared for a road show, but now we can't go public in the United States? My company has signed with you US$2.5 billion in original shares of Makino Technology. What should I do?"
Davinson scolded angrily: "Jack, I'm afraid you are out of your mind! What I signed with you is a framework agreement. When the triggering conditions for the formation of the agreement were, I got the lead underwriter contract of Makino Technology and pushed Makino Technology to start selling original shares. It’s effective! Now that Li Mu is going back to China to go public, not only is your US$2.5 billion gone, but all of you sitting here who originally had a share are now gone!”
The scene suddenly erupted in wailing.
As close collaborators and compatriots of the same kind and origin, they had long since carved up most of the original Makino Technology shares from Devinson. The remaining part they had taken was really released to ordinary investors in the market. They originally I expected to make a lot of money from this, but I didn’t expect...
Another person couldn't help but ask: "Li Mu can't be stupid enough to go back to China to list, right? They don't meet the necessary conditions for China's A-share market at all. If they want to be listed on the A-share market, they will definitely have to wait another year or two, and the A-share market's With its size, it is difficult to support a giant like Makino Technology. If it is listed in China, its valuation will definitely be lower than expected, and it will be his own loss! There is a lot of money in the US stock market, and he is very optimistic about technology stocks, so he can be given a high enough price. The market value of China A-shares cannot be replaced."
Devinson growled: "Damn it, are you Ronnie, you bastard?"
The man hummed and said awkwardly: "It's me, Devinson. I know you are very angry, but I still advise you to speak more civilly. We are all compatriots and brothers. I advise you not to use bad words."
"I'm civilizing your father's head!" Dai Wensen roared angrily: "I'm afraid your common sense will be eaten by dogs! Do you think China only has A-shares? China's A-shares belong to the mainland! China is the mainland plus Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, okay? Okay? If Li Mu returns to China to list, he can definitely go to China to list in Hong Kong! Do you know what the full name of Hong Kong is?"
"Hong Kong..." Ronnie said awkwardly: "Isn't it Hong Kong..."
Dai Wensen said hysterically: "This is the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China! You bastard! I'm afraid your father has a brain problem and let you, an idiot, manage the family!"
Ronnie was speechless after being scolded. Devinson's family is much larger than his own. Moreover, Devinson and his father are close friends. As his elder, he couldn't refute even if he scolded him. .
Moreover, what he scolded was not unreasonable, so he could only accept it with an open mind.
So he said angrily: "I'm sorry, Mr. Gao Bai, it's my fault..."
Dai Vinson was still angry and said coldly: "If Li Mu takes Makino Technology to Hong Kong for listing, then Taobao Technology will definitely not come to the United States in the future. I am afraid that most of the other Internet companies in China will not choose the US market, and , with Li Mu’s influence on the Internet, it is likely to support Hong Kong stocks and make it the most watched science and technology stock market in the world. By then, Internet companies around the world may be sucked away. You must know that Li Mu is not a herd. The leader is not a shepherd dog, he is the god in the eyes of the sheep!"
"Don't you still have to find an underwriter to list in Hong Kong?" A young man said: "Mr. Davidson, your HSBC Capital is a top securities firm and issuer in Hong Kong. Li Mu will still have to find you when the time comes. At worst, we won't either. Just move to the Hong Kong market to earn this wave of dividends. As for what you said about Internet companies going to Hong Kong to be listed in the future, what does that have to do with us? What we pursue is to make money, not to make the U.S. Internet industry lead the world and earn US dollars and Hong Kong dollars. There is no difference between RMB and RMB."
"Aren't you a fool?" Dai Wensen was furious at these profit-seeking bastards and blurted out: "Now Huaguo Bank's securities business in Hong Kong has done very well. Once a patriot like Li Mu decides to go to Hong Kong, If I go public, I will definitely hand over the underwriting business to Hua Guo Bank. I’m afraid I won’t even be able to have a bowl of porridge!”
Devinson was right. To a certain extent, he had a relatively deep understanding of Li Mu.
The most important thing in Li Mu's life that he did not allow others to desecrate, apart from his close relatives and his motherland and nation, was the Internet industry.
In Li Mu's eyes, the Internet is the greatest invention of mankind in the past century. It is not a product or a technology, but a huge new world.
And he, I dare not say that he is a god who cannot be blasphemed in this new world, but at least he is also the biggest supporter and guardian of this new world.
It’s understandable that Wall Street will make some money following Google’s IPO, and I’m also happy for them to make reasonable money, because when they make money, they will invest some of it in the Internet, forming a cycle.
Many well-known companies in Silicon Valley were financed by Wall Street capital.
However, everything must have a degree.
Even if Wall Street's contribution to the Internet is like the adoptive parents who raised it to adulthood, it must not overdraw the life of the Internet for its own benefit, or even directly harvest the organs of the Internet industry.
Besides, although the older generation of Internet people have indeed benefited a lot from Wall Street, and even Mr. Li of Baidu started a career with Wall Street capital in Silicon Valley, Li Mu himself has never benefited from Wall Street.
Li Mu's career was not achieved by Wall Street, but by the contributions of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of Chinese netizens. Therefore, the big guys on Wall Street are nothing in his eyes.
Moreover, the industrial barriers of Makino Technology and Taobao Technology are extremely strong. This kind of power cannot be defeated by you who are richer than me, let alone you who are not richer than me.
Entrepreneurship is not the stock market, nor is it a gambling game, nor is it a business. It is not that I bet 10,000 and you can beat me with 20,000. It is also not that I bet all my money, but you bet bigger than me, and I can’t follow. You will lose if you start.
Starting a business is like fighting a war. Not only do you have to have money, you also have to have the ability to turn money into soldiers, planes, tanks, cannons and even atomic bombs.
The cost of building an aircraft carrier fleet in the United States may be hundreds of billions of dollars, but it is impossible for a group of Middle Eastern oil tycoons to hold trillions of dollars in cash to defeat them. You can't just throw money at them, right? If you really throw money at it, I'm afraid they will have to shout excitedly to thank Prime Minister Cao for sending the sword.
Makino Technology is like this now. Each product has a strong user base and ecological barriers, and its own strength is extremely powerful in the Internet world. Whoever wants to engage in Makino Technology, it is useless to take money, and you have to spend money to create something better than Makino Technology. Something stronger comes out.
Otherwise, just like the third brother, who spends a lot of money to buy Russian aircraft carriers, submarines and aircraft, but burns, crashes, and smashes them before they can actually fight, how can they go to war with a country like the United States
In Li Mu's eyes, these Wall Street tycoons are no different from a group of oil tycoons in their own industry.
"Then what should we do now?" an older man with a beard said: "Our media has been questioned by the public. With Li Mu's Twitter post, it is no longer possible for us to speculate on the concept of the Internet tomorrow. Now Li Mu is going to be listed in Hong Kong again, so aren’t we overtaken?”
Dai Wensen said: "It's best to ask your media to change their words as soon as possible, and then apologize to the outside world for maliciously hyping the concept of the Internet. See if Li Mu can calm down. Now that Li Mu doesn't answer my call, I can only wait for him to calm down." Contact him again to see if there is any room for recovery."
The bearded old man immediately said: "No problem, we will say hello to the media we control and admit our mistakes piously."
Someone said: "Mr. Weinberg, if this happens, the credibility of our media will take a huge hit!"
The bearded old man asked back: "Do you think you haven't received a huge blow now?"
The man was immediately speechless.
You can't just find a bunch of stupid experts to confront Li Mu. Isn't it true that the spring of the Internet has already arrived? Li Mu's words are out there, no matter how loud they are, no one believes them!
On this issue, Li Mu is also impeccable. He directly stands on the highest point of morality. At this time, any behavior of washing the land will arouse the resentment and disgust of the people.
At this moment, someone suddenly came in with a laptop and said, "Everyone, it's bad, Li Mu posted on Twitter again!"
"what happened?!"
The man pointed the computer screen towards the crowd and said breathlessly: "Li Mu posted a new Twitter message with a photo of himself in a private jet. The text was: 'Getting ready to return to China. It has never been like this before. So disappointed in a country’s capitalists!”
"Fuck..."
