Chapter 1131 Concerns over Tencent’s Listing
Early the next morning.
Jinling Jiangbei New District, on the land of the Software Valley project.
The colorful flags are fluttering and the banners are stretched out.
As the first pilot project of the Software Valley Plan in the country, the province attaches special importance to it. Even Secretary Dai personally came to support this pilot project.
Because Secretary Dai knew that any one of Liang Yancheng, An Dingguo, and Wu Tao involved in this project was enough for him to be present in person.
What's more, it was a grand event for three people.
Political bigwigs gathered, but colleagues from the business world were not to be outdone.
In addition to Qin Xiaoxiao, the representative of Tianqi Investment, Molly from Quantum Trust, Panis from Morgan AsiaInfo, and Rena Fujiwara from Mitsui Consortium were all present.
The cameras swept across the row, and all of them were well-known figures.
The groundbreaking ceremony was nothing special, everything was arranged. Even Hu Ning's speech was carefully checked and rehearsed repeatedly.
However, within half a day after the ceremony, the news spread all over the Internet.
There are discussions and expectations everywhere about the development of domestic Silicon Valley.
This is a high-tech industry that can make Chinese people feel the changes firsthand. It is also one of the typical industries with the smallest technological gap between it and its foreign counterparts.
The video materials collected by the provincial TV station are not only produced into news broadcasts immediately, but are also directly submitted to CCTV for broadcast as typical economic development news.
Feiyu Investment Bank of China Overseas Investment Bank.
Figo was dazzled by the news and discussions about the Software Valley project that almost filled the screen.
I originally wanted to dig out something useful from these complicated and redundant Internet information, but until my eyes were sore, there was no result.
Firstly, very little of this information is effective; secondly, even with translation software, it is still difficult to understand.
In any case, it is also a software park project, and the limelight has obviously been stolen by Wu Tao.
Only if China Overseas Software Park's software park project is larger in scale and requires more investment can it take advantage of China Overseas International's international urban influence.
Figo was thinking about himself when Howard knocked on the door and came in with a gloomy look.
"What happened?" Figo saw this and knew something was wrong, but still asked patiently.
Howard slapped his palm on the table, "The planning request we just put forward was rejected by the China Overseas Government. They said that the 10 square miles plan was too large. Firstly, it had to be submitted to the central government for approval. Secondly, China Overseas Pudong did not have such a large area. "
Figo was not angry at first, but pondered: "Is there something fishy here? I heard that Chinese people must use money to clear the way to do things. Shouldn't we also do as the Romans do?"
"Is it necessary to do this?" Howard looked reluctant, "After all, this is actually a win-win situation, isn't it?"
"Give it a try," Figo said, twirling the platinum ring on his finger: "The situation can't be worse than it is now, can it?"
Just three days after the groundbreaking of the Jinling Jiangbei Software Valley project, the groundbreaking of the Nanshan Software Valley project in Shenzhen followed.
Wu Tao took Mo Li and several investors back and forth, and finally participated in various procedures and ceremonies.
This is the first time for two generations of Wu Tao to return to the forefront of reform, Shenzhen City.
As the convoy was driving on the wide Shennan Avenue, Wu Tao, Molly and others talked about how this was just a small fishing village in the past. Molly and the others were dumbfounded and couldn't believe it.
After all, this is a modern city built in just about twenty years, and it can definitely be regarded as a city of miracles.
As a result, Molly and Parnis were suddenly full of curiosity and planned to go shopping around after returning to the hotel.
As for Fujiwara Reina, there is a lot of work to be done because of the promotion of the semiconductor industry.
Not to mention Wu Tao, he has received an invitation from Ma Huateng, and Qin Xiaoxiao is responsible for accompanying him.
The dinner venue was set at Jingdu, a long-established hotel in Shenzhen. When I met Mr. Ma, he was dressed formally, wearing glasses, and looked like a well-mannered scholar.
So much so that Wu Tao, who had been brewing for a long time, kept the word "Lao Ma" in his stomach and did not say it out.
After all, people are obviously not old.
"Mr. Wu," Ma Huateng held Wu Tao's hand and said, "I'm really honored that you can honor me. Without the first Internet Conference you convened, Tencent would not be what it is today."
Wu Tao didn't dare to take credit for this. He immediately held the other person's hand and said, "Mr. Ma is too modest. I know that you have been brewing the idea of QQ for a long time."
Ma Huateng couldn't help but be startled. He was just trying to figure it out in his mind. How did he know what he was thinking?
However, before he could ask further questions, he was interrupted by Zhang Zhidong, who was standing next to him: "Mr. Wu, in fact, Tencent QQ has come to this day, and we should be more grateful to you for saving icq from the fire and water, and avoiding being forced by AOL with no way out."
Wu Tao was held by Zhang Zhidong and felt that this matter was even more exaggerated.
This matter was just a incidental matter during the match with Howard, and I didn't pay much attention to it at all.
However, through these two things, Wu Tao also saw that the other party was actively building relationships with him and building friendship.
In this case, if he didn't reach out to hit the smiling man, he simply let it go.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
Ma Huateng changed the topic and talked about the Software Valley project in Nanshan, Shenzhen.
"Mr. Wu, are you particularly optimistic about the future of the domestic Internet industry by investing so much effort in developing the Software Valley project?" Ma Huateng lowered his attitude and said: "After all, we all know that when the Internet bubble collapsed two years ago, the result was Extremely tragic.”
Wu Tao put down his chopsticks, glanced at everyone, nodded and said: "Yes, the development of any industry has its own inherent cycle, and the Internet industry is no exception. However, as a high-tech industry, its industry cycle is longer than that of traditional industries. Much shorter.”
"...And judging from the trend of our Internet conference becoming more and more prosperous, I think the Internet industry in the future will recover in our hands. That's why the Software Valley plan was created."
The half-truth and half-false nature of these words really stunned Ma Huateng and Zhang Zhidong.
Look at what kind of strategy and pattern this is!
Qin Xiaoxiao also took the opportunity to interject: "Mr. Ma, Mr. Zhang, this Nanshan Software Valley project still needs your support. In addition, this year's Internet Conference should also help us promote our Software Valley plan. "
When the two heard this, they immediately agreed.
Immediately afterwards, Ma Huateng picked up a glass of wine and said while toasting: "Mr. Wu, you are an Internet celebrity and an investment expert. I still have a question. I have always had doubts and I want to ask you for advice."
Wu Tao waved his hand, "If you don't want to ask for advice, Mr. Ma, you can just say it."
"You also know that Tencent is currently seeking to go public, but I am always worried about whether I will accidentally fall into a big trap before the Internet industry has fully recovered..."
No wonder he kept hesitating to speak. Ganqing had such concerns.
In fact, it's no wonder. It's a mule or a horse, and it's inevitable to worry about gains and losses when it's about to go on the field.
But before he finished speaking, Wu Tao put down his glass with a smile and said: "Mr. Ma, everything has risks. Why not let Tencent's listing become a loud clarion call for the next wave of Internet boom? I am optimistic about you..."
