Chapter 293 Going to America
You must know that when Chen Ping acquired Baidu's shares, Baidu's internal decision to go public was not passed at all, and even at that time, it was only the intention of some shareholders, and it was never disclosed.
But Chen Ping bought the shares of Baidu at that juncture, and once the acquisition, it was the original shares with a market value of 100 million.
This can only show that although Chen Ping has not received any news, his vision is extremely old, and he can directly see the future development direction of Baidu Company, and acquired the original shares of Baidu Company so long in advance.
Before Baidu's official listing, he became one of Baidu's shareholders.
Just this vision and courage alone made Li Changhong look at Chen Ping with admiration, and he didn't dare to underestimate him at all.
It is precisely because of this that Li Changhong made this call to Chen Ping.
After complimenting each other for a few words, Li Changhong said with a chuckle: "Mr. Chen, I wonder if Mr. Chen has time to rush to the United States with us when Baidu is listed, and witness the moment of Baidu's listing in person?"
Hearing Li Changhong's words, Chen Ping was stunned for a moment, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
He really did not expect that Li Changhong would actually make such an invitation to him.
You must know that although Chen Ping is one of Baidu's shareholders, in fact, the proportion of Baidu's original shares held by Chen Ping is not too high, and Chen Ping has not participated in Baidu's shareholders. The general meeting can only be regarded as idle shareholders, and there is no way to be regarded as one of the real top executives of Baidu.
The executives of Baidu are also very clear that the reason why Chen Ping holds so many stocks is only because Chen Ping bought these stocks some time ago, and the fundamental reason why Chen Ping bought these stocks is actually still. I just want to make some money by taking advantage of Baidu's upcoming listing.
Therefore, the top management of Baidu has never contacted Chen Ping, but now, Li Changhong, chairman of Baidu, has personally called Chen Ping and invited Chen Ping to go to the United States to witness the moment when Baidu is listed.
Although it was just a simple invitation, Chen Ping also smelled something unusual from it.
After pondering for a while, Chen Ping asked with a soft smile: "Chairman Li, although I can be regarded as one of Baidu's shareholders, you must also know that the reason why I bought Baidu's stock is just that I just wanted to use the big ship of Baidu to earn a little money for myself. I didn't want to interfere in Baidu's top management affairs. Isn't it inappropriate for me to attend the ceremony of Baidu's listing? "
Hearing Chen Ping's question, Li Changhong also smiled slightly, and then said warmly: "Of course not, President Chen is also a young hero in the domestic business circle, and I am fortunate to invite people like President Chen to participate in our Baidu company's stock listing. The ceremony is also an honor for our Baidu company, and I hope President Chen will not refuse."
Chen Ping smiled lightly, and then had a few polite words with Li Changhong, and then agreed to Li Changhong's invitation.
Although Chen Ping had no way of knowing why Li Changhong invited him to participate in the ceremony of Baidu's stock listing, but when Chen Ping wanted to come, he held Baidu's stock in his hand, although the fundamental reason was that he still hoped to take advantage of this opportunity for Baidu's stock listing to make a profit. On the other hand, Chen Ping also hopes to rely on Baidu to create some momentum for himself.
Although there are several major companies such as Coslight Technology Co., Ltd. and Changping Supermarket Co., Ltd. under the name of Chen Ping,
However, in fact, Chen Ping's development time is still too short, even within the Dongjiang Province, he is not at all deeply rooted.
Especially in terms of personal connections, there is a huge gap.
But Baidu is quite different. This is one of the giant companies in the domestic Internet industry, and even in the whole of China, it has a high status.
If you can really build a good relationship with the top management of Baidu, it will also be beneficial to your future development. At least some ghosts and snakes will not come to trouble you easily.
Thinking of this, Chen Ping finally agreed to Li Changhong's invitation.
However, after putting down the phone, Chen Ping still had a bit of sigh in his heart.
No matter in past or present life, Chen Ping has never stepped out of China. Even in his past life, when he was close to 40 years old, Chen Ping never went abroad, let alone to the United States on the other side of the world.
This is the first time Chen Ping has stepped out of China.
Speaking of which, Chen Ping still had some sighs in his heart, but soon, Chen Ping returned to normal, and carefully began to think about Li Changhong's intentions.
However, after thinking about it, Chen Ping could not accurately judge Li Changhong's intentions.
But Chen Ping also made some guesses.
In fact, Li Changhong's intentions are not difficult to guess. It is nothing more than the possible reasons. The most likely reason is Chen Ping himself.
The current Chen Ping is no longer the little-known high school student he was a year ago. At this moment, he holds Guangyu Technology Co., Ltd., Changping Supermarket Co., Ltd., Tianyu Entertainment Co., Ltd., Yuwei Investment Co., Ltd., and even a brand new company The logistics company of the company is preparing for construction. In addition, Chen Ping and the game star website company jointly organized another company.
It's just that the company, like the logistics company, is in the early stage of preparation, and has not been formally established yet, and even the details of the cooperation between the two parties are in the process of negotiation.
But even so, there are already as many as 6 companies under Chen Ping's name.
With so many companies, no one can be underestimated.
Even if it is just an empty shell of Yuwei Investment Company, it also holds the original shares of Baidu Company currently worth 100 million. After Baidu Company's stock is listed, the assets of Yuwei Investment Company are likely to be destroyed in a very short period of time. It is not impossible to break through 500 million, or even reach 1 billion.
As for Coslight Technology Co., Ltd. and Changping Supermarket Co., Ltd., they are Chen Ping’s right-hand man. These two companies have developed extremely fast. In less than a year, Coslight Technology Co., Ltd.’s market value in the outside world has steadily exceeded 10%. 100 million, especially after the launch of the "Journey" game, the current market value of Coslight Technology has reached 1.35 billion.
As for Changping Supermarket Company, although it still can't catch up with Coslight Technology Company, the assets owned by Changping Supermarket Company can be seen and touched, and the total asset valuation has reached as high as nearly 700 million.
You must know that Coslight Technology Co., Ltd. has a total of 22 stores, and there are several hundred million in liquidity on the book. Although such a large supermarket chain company has not completely covered the entire Dongjiang Province, it must not be underestimated. watched.
After the sixteen stores that Changping Supermarket has just opened are completely stabilized, and the third large-scale expansion is added, more than 300 convenience stores will open at the same time. It broke the 1 billion mark in a very short period of time.
As for Tianyu Entertainment, the initial investment was only 100 million yuan, and now it can be regarded as the company with the least assets under Chen Ping's name.
But even so, all the shares of the 6 companies under Chen Ping's name are added up, and Chen Ping's net worth has steadily exceeded 2 billion.
This is definitely an extremely scary number.
You know, it has only been a year since Chen Ping made his debut. In just one year, Chen Ping has gone from a poor high school student to a billionaire with a net worth of 2 billion.
You must know that it is only 2004. Although the domestic rich list is often not taken seriously, many low-key businessmen will not appear on the rich list, but if you really talk about assets, the current Chen Ping personally, It has been able to rank within the top 500 on the domestic rich list.
Such an asset growth rate really proves Chen Ping's own ability.
This is not something that ordinary people can achieve.
Although the outside world doesn't know much about Chen Ping, Li Changhong is the chairman of Baidu. There is an inexplicable shareholder in his own company. Li Changhong naturally needs to investigate Chen Ping. starter
After investigating Chen Ping, Li Changhong's views on Chen Ping also changed day by day.
In the past few days, Li Changhong finally couldn't sit still.
In his opinion, Chen Ping, a young guy who is not even twenty years old, is definitely an extremely terrifying figure.
At such an age, he has assets of 2 billion yuan, and every step of the development has been traced. It is not entirely based on luck. Such a person's ability is extremely terrifying, and he can definitely be regarded as a rookie in the market. If the kind of people can get along well, it's better to have good friendships, and it's better not to offend if they can.
That's why Li Changhong called Chen Ping and invited Chen Ping to attend the ceremony of Baidu's stock listing.
Of course, as the chairman of Baidu, Li Changhong is considered to be a high-ranking person in China. Naturally, he will not curry favor with Chen Ping. He just wants to get to know this young and promising little guy. New 81 Chinese website updates the fastest mobile terminal: https:/
Chen Ping naturally had no way to know what Li Changhong was thinking, but he also guessed a bit.
Anyway, for Chen Ping, there will be no conflict between himself and Baidu. Even if his Coslight Technology Co., Ltd. will enter the Internet industry in the future, under normal circumstances, it will not have too much trouble with Internet industry giants such as Baidu. big conflict.
Even the two sides are likely to have some cooperation in the future, so now, it is a good thing to have contact with Li Changhong.
On June 20, Chen Ping dealt with the matters on both sides of Coslight Technology Company and Changping Supermarket Company, and distributed all the things established by the online e-commerce platform, and then packed up his luggage and set foot on the flight alone. Airplane to America.
After more than ten hours of flight, when Chen Ping stepped on the ground again, there was a faint dazed look in his eyes.
This is his first time in the United States.
Chen Ping actually had a lot of curiosity about this country far across the ocean.
In the past, what Chen Ping knew about the United States was only from books, but this time, it was the first time he set foot on the soil of the United States.
But in Chen Ping's view, the United States doesn't seem to be much different from China, but it seems to be more crowded and sparsely populated.
Even in the urban area, the pedestrians on the street seem to be much sparser than in China.
The population density of the United States is much lower than that of China, and Chen Ping expected such a phenomenon as early as possible. As for other conditions, it seems that there is not much difference between China and China.
