Chapter 416 Liu Yifei's Growth
It's early morning.
Xu Kun rushed to Huayi's headquarters and first went to Director Feng's office on the fifth floor to make an appointment. Then he went to the top floor to find Wang Zhongjun to talk about Huayi's listing.
Naturally, such a thing cannot be accomplished overnight. In fact, Huayi started preparing for the IPO as early as 04, but encountered the incident of Wang Jinghua leading his group to defect, and almost collapsed.
It was not until this year when the situation had roughly recovered that the company began to push forward its listing plan again.
According to Mr. Da Wang, Huayi will definitely be listed as early as the second half of next year, or at the latest by the end of 09. As for the listing location, it is most likely to be in the mainland, with a small probability of Hong Kong Island. As for the New York Stock Exchange, there is basically no hope.
"It's a pity that we are still too slow. If we had started half a year earlier, we might have been able to go public by the end of this year and catch up with this bull market." Wang Zhongjun's face was full of regret: "If we could catch up with this wave of nationwide stock speculation, our Huayi's issue price would definitely not be bad."
It may be a bit of an exaggeration to say that everyone was speculating in stocks in 2007, but the enthusiasm for speculation among the people was indeed unprecedentedly high, even unprecedented and unparalleled.
It was only at the beginning of the year that it broke through the 3000-point mark for the first time in history, and by May it was heading towards 5 points.
On May 5, the authorities made adjustments overnight, creating the famous "cock crowing in the middle of the night" incident, which led to a sharp drop in the stock market in June.
But by early July, the Shanghai Composite Index quickly regrouped and stood above 7 points, and just yesterday, it successfully broke through the 4000 point mark.
People are now discussing whether the index can break through 6000 points by the end of the month and whether it can reach 10000 points by the end of the year.
These days, there are all kinds of news about people getting rich by speculating in the stock market, and the most dramatic one is that an old man with no children in Beijing gritted his teeth and mortgaged his house to invest in the stock market in order to earn money for his retirement.
As a result, millions of funds were nearly doubled in just over a month - and then the old man died of a heart attack due to excessive excitement.
However, according to Xu Kun's memory from later generations, the domestic stock market seemed to have no improvement, so he did not think that this bull market could last long, and he had no intention of wasting money.
After listening to Wang Zhongjun talk about the stock market for a long time and confirming what Lao Jia had entrusted him with, Xu Kun came out of the office on the top floor and returned to his office on the fourth floor.
Seeing Xu Kun coming in person, the assistant guarding outside brought two newly issued documents and a CD directly to Xu Kun's desk.
Although he seldom comes to the company, there is always someone on duty outside.
Some internally distributed documents will also be delivered to Huang Bin in a timely manner, and then Huang Bin will report to him according to the priority.
It's obvious that the document was issued internally by Hua Yinian.
As for that DVD...
The exquisite packaging box is printed with nine long legs in Chinese, English and Korean, but they are not translated but mixed directly.
However, because he recognized several familiar faces, Xu Kun immediately guessed that this should be a DVD record.
"Who sent this?"
Xu Kun held the CD and asked, "Tian Shang Zhi Xi?"
"No, it was mailed directly from Korea."
Since he had nothing to do anyway, after his assistant left, Xu Kun opened the package and put the CD into the CD-ROM drive. In 07, CD-ROM drives were still standard equipment for most computers, and they were gradually phased out around 10.
There was only one video file in the CD. When I opened it, the first thing I saw was Lee Soo Man sitting on a high stool.
He first greeted Xu Kun in broken Chinese, and then expressed the hope that Director Xu could make some suggestions on the debut song of the company's new group and continue to contribute to the promotion of cultural exchanges between China and South Korea.
What the hell?
Do you really think of yourself as a guide?
Xu Kun was speechless and too lazy to listen to Lee Soo Man's nonsense, so he fast-forwarded to the later content of the MV.
The opening method of nine girls standing in a straight line, then spreading out in pairs, and finally revealing the lead singer of the group, was quite interesting.
However, Xu Kun felt that the following songs and dances were just so-so. After all, he couldn't understand Korean, so the quality of the performance mainly depended on whether the melody caught his ears.
Moreover, the nine people were all wearing the same clothes. They were so homogeneous that it was impossible to tell who was who. Xu Kun was trying to figure out which two people he had slept with when he heard a knock on the door.
Then the assistant pushed the door open and poked his head in, "Director Xu, Miss Liu Yifei wants to see you. She said it was agreed beforehand—her mother, Ms. Liu, is here too."
"Oh~"
Xu Kun recalled that it seemed that Shu Chang did say that Liu Yifei would come to thank him in person, and they were on the same floor, so it was not surprising that they knew he had come to the company.
So he paused the MV and ordered, "Then let them in."
The assistant who stayed behind immediately opened the door wide and gestured for the outsiders to come in.
Liu Xiaoli was still hesitating, but when she saw her daughter walking in, she hurriedly followed her step by step - although it was not obvious at ordinary times, Xixi seemed to have her own ideas recently and no longer followed her footsteps in everything.
Of course, this is not surprising, because even Liu Xiaoli herself has undergone significant changes recently.
Faced with all kinds of true and false reports a few days ago, Liu Xiaoli naturally wanted to use the old method and find a familiar newspaper to refute them.
After trying a lot, she found that she had no familiar media friends at all. The reason those people were so respectful to her was entirely because of Chen Jinfei.
Now that the big tree Chen Jinfei has fallen, the so-called media friends who were clinging to him will naturally scatter like monkeys when the tree falls.
It would have been considered good if she refused to help, but a deputy editor even took advantage of her misfortune and tricked her into making some outrageous remarks, which he then published in the newspaper without including the details.
Because the "apology form" that day was not recognized by Huayi, Liu Xiaoli's request for Huayi to retaliate seemed to fall on deaf ears and received no response.
After all this trouble, Liu Xiaoli finally realized that everything that surrounded her before was just an illusion supported by Chen Jinfei. Once Chen Jinfei was gone, this dream-like bubble immediately burst.
Although she has not yet fully accepted this reality, she is no longer as arrogant as before, and even regrets causing such a big fuss at the signing ceremony.
This was also the important reason why Liu Xiaoli did not object when Liu Yifei took the initiative to propose to come over to express her gratitude after hearing that Xu Kun had come to the company.
However, after entering the door, Liu Xiaoli regretted it.
Because she saw the DVD cover on Xu Kun's desk, a group of women wearing revealing clothes showing off their thighs, and a mess of foreign words...
Considering Xu Kun's reputation, Liu Xiaoli instinctively thought of something inappropriate for children, and then showed contempt and disgust on her face.
Liu Yifei didn't notice her mother's change. She smiled and said after entering the room, "Director Xu, did I disturb you?"
"No."
Xu Kun pointed at the sofa opposite and motioned for the mother and daughter to sit down and talk: "I'm waiting for Director Feng to come to the company. I'm bored and just flipping through the documents issued by the company."
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaoli glanced at the DVD cover on the table and curled her lips in disdain.
Liu Yifei had no intention of sitting down. She bowed and said, "Director Xu, I came here mainly to thank you for speaking up for Mr. Wang earlier."
"You're welcome."
Xu Kun waved his hand and said, "I am also considering the company's long-term interests, so I advised Mr. Wang not to listen to Cai Yinong's instigation. Of course, Mr. Wang didn't mean to do that, otherwise I wouldn't be able to persuade him."
"No matter what, you have helped me and my mother. It is reasonable for us to express our gratitude." Liu Yifei said, bowing again and said, "Since you want to see Director Feng, we will not waste your time."
Having said that, he and Liu Xiaoli, who was completely out of shape, left the office.
Not to mention, this girl is obviously much more sensible than before, at least much better than the "Crocodile Third" back then. It seems that young people still need some hardships to grow.
