Rice Technology has been releasing its first rice mobile phone in 2011. After more than three years of development, it will enter its fourth year this year. From the initial rice mobile phone to the later branches of Rice Home, Huaxin Semiconductor Company, and Future Laboratory.
Such rapid development has also brought the development of rice technology to a peak, and the target of mobile phone shipments this year is set at 100 million! This is simply an unimaginable thing for a technology company that has been established for more than three years. Even in world history, few companies have never been able to achieve the development speed of rice technology.
According to the estimates of external financial companies, the current valuation of Rice Technology has exceeded US$30 billion. If the shipments this year can really meet the predetermined target according to the annual plan, it is very likely that Rice Technology will reach a record 45 billion US dollars at the end of the year!
At the same time, Huang Yifei also knew that in fact, Xiaomi in history reached its peak in 2014. At that time, Lei Jun was eager to win the position of the top Chinese mobile phone manufacturer, and even began to develop towards the top three in the world.
As a result, reality gave Lei Jun a fatal blow. Xiaomi mobile phones suffered an almost cliff-like fall since 14 years later. Because as Huawei's Kirin chips began to catch up with Qualcomm and Shanghai Si Semiconductor's innate advantages in mobile phone baseband, Huawei began to develop rapidly this year and officially determined its position as the number one Chinese mobile phone manufacturer.
This world may be unparalleled, and misfortunes never come in singularity. In the next 16 years, not only Huawei rose, but even BBK mobile phone manufacturers such as oppo and vivo, which no one expected, successfully occupied the second and third place in shipments with a large number of offline stores. If the two companies combined, they even surpassed Huawei.
It was this year that Xiaomi mobile phones could not survive by relying solely on cost-effectiveness, and due to various supply chain problems, their production capacity had problems. After learning from the pain, Xiaomi's Pinecone Technology finally launched the Pengpai chip to create its own core components, but in 2017, it was too late.
As a prophet of history, Huang Yifei already knew the future development, so he naturally would not let this happen. This is why he almost invested all his wealth and promoted the research and development of Huaxin Semiconductor in Mi Technology. If it goes well, Mi Technology will launch a mobile phone equipped with Huaxin So chip this year.
At the same time, due to Huang Yifei's excessive expansion and investment, the capital chain of Rice Technology is almost on the verge of collapse. Now is a period of rapid development, and the angel investment of Huang Yifei and Lei Jun is constantly increasing, so it can barely hold on. If Rice Technology goes down in 2015, Huang Yifei can almost foresee what kind of state will appear in Rice Technology, just like a tragic situation that collapses!
In fact, this is not without precedent. In Huang Yifei's later generations, there was such a company. When he was at his peak, he blindly invested huge amounts of funds to develop Internet cars, which resulted in his capital chain breaking and he went to the brink of bankruptcy, and even began to sell his high-quality assets. The name of this company is Los Angeles (homophony).
Another more important point is that although Huang Yifei developed Huaxin Semiconductor and Future Laboratory in advance, he actually gave up a very important expansion, that is, the rice ecosystem chain!
Mobile phones are bound to be a necessity for future life, but this market is ultimately limited and saturated. At the same time, with the development of technology, smart homes will be the future development goal, so Huang Yifei plans to develop industrial ecological chain products such as rice robots, rice sockets, rice controllers, rice rice cookers, etc., and directly occupy the future smart homes. This will also be the strategic development goal of rice technology in the future!
In fact, Huang Yifei had told Lei Jun before that with Lei Jun's knowledge and vision, he naturally saw the future prospects of these things. But the cruel reality is in front of him, and Rice Technology really has no money to develop these things, so since the end of 2012, Huang Yifei has begun to prepare for the preparations before the listing.
It took a full year for Huang Yifei's Rice Technology to finally pass various asset reviews and arrive at the final listing stage. Now Huang Yifei is going to have a final meeting with Lei Jun and discuss this matter with Fatty Zhang.
At the headquarters of Yanjing Rice Technology, Lei Jun was waiting for Huang Yifei in the office early. When Huang Yifei came downstairs, he happened to meet Fatty Zhang who came to the Rice Technology Company.
When the two met downstairs of Dami Technology, there was a hint of strangeness and surprise on their faces. Thinking about it seriously, it was almost two years since the last time they met. However, this sense of strangeness was almost fleeting. Fatty Zhang rushed over and hugged Huang Yifei and said, "Damn, I really didn't expect Yifei, you are so strong now!"
When the two met, Huang Yifei was only 1.8 meters tall and weighed only about 80 kilograms. At that time, Fatty Zhang was only a few centimeters shorter than Huang Yifei, but his weight was dozens of kilograms. This situation led to Huang Yifei not taking off his clothes and standing with Fatty Zhang, he actually looked as strong as Fatty Zhang.
Today we met again in reality. Huang Yifei's weight is already on the same level as Fatty Zhang. Of course, Huang Yifei's muscles are all muscles, and Fatty Zhang is fat. He is more than ten centimeters taller than Fatty Zhang, so Huang Yifei seems much taller than Fatty Zhang. Finally, it is no longer the time when he was not as good as Fatty Zhang back then.
"Why do you feel much heavier, you are so fat? You probably haven't exercised much in the past two years!"
Hearing Huang Yifei's words, Zhang Fan replied with an unhappy expression on his face: "There's no way. I have been helping you run the website in the past two years, and I also helped you optimize the system of rice technology. I even found a group of people to consider writing our own system. How can I exercise?"
Faced with Zhang Fan's words, Huang Yifei just patted Zhang Fan on the shoulder and said nothing more. Although Huang Yifei and Zhang Fan rarely met in the past few years, if we must say that Huang Yifei has the greatest help to him except Kunlun Fighting and Longteng Promotion, then it must be Zhang Fan!
It can be said that Huang Yifei's rapid expansion in the Internet career in recent years is because Zhang Fan stood behind him and helped him handle everything on the Internet! From the initial Kunlun official website operation to the later Whale live broadcast operation. From the creation of Rice Technology Lyui, to the experimental development of the future laboratory system of the entire rice system, all of this is supported by the technology company established by Zhang Fan in Silicon Valley.
But almost no one knows everything about it except the core senior management of Rice Technology. Not only that, Huang Yifei has a high-tech company at the forefront of the times in Silicon Valley, USA. The so-called Future Laboratory is the branch of Rice Technology.
In fact, seriously, even the core executives of Rice Technology, including Lei Jun, only knew that Huang Yifei had IT partners in the United States. They never thought that such a top high-tech company hidden under the iceberg would have been created by Huang Yifei a long time ago.
The reason why Huang Yifei doesn’t want the world to know all this is because he knows that whether it is a ring or a shopping mall, it is best to always maintain a trump card that his opponent doesn’t know. Zhang Fan is Huang Yifei’s biggest trump card!
Sometimes Huang Yifei even feels that he is becoming more and more like the kind of scheming shopping mall tycoon in the movies.
When he arrived at the headquarters of Dami Technology, Lei Jun handed over the listing plan to Huang Yifei. The biggest problem here is the dilution of equity between Huang Yifei, Lei Jun and Zhang Fan, as well as the voting rights of the future board of equity. This is why Huang Yifei must call Zhang Fan over, because Zhang Fan also occupies almost 10% of the shares of Dami Technology.
Although Huang Yifei was operating the shares of Zhang Fan before, and even Zhang Fan himself did not take this 10% of the shares seriously. But Huang Yifei knew that as a brother, you must remember the friendship that you should give to Zhang Fan. You must give to him, and you cannot swallow it yourself.
In fact, the proportion of voting rights of listed companies is generally not necessarily related to the equity share. For example, JD.com, which is very familiar to everyone, although Liu Qiangdong only accounts for more than 10% of the shares with Tencent and other aspects of investment and listing. However, Liu Qiangdong accounts for more than 80% of the voting rights of JD.com's board of directors, which means that Liu Qiangdong still has absolute voting rights and controls the general direction of the company's development.
This is why JD.com, which only accounts for more than 10% of the shares, is still called Milk Tea Dong.
However, there is a very painful problem with Rice Technology, that is, Huang Yifei is not the absolute founder, but at most he is a co-founder. Although Huang Yifei and Lei Jun are very happy now, the two of them even have common goals and ideas in a sense.
But no one can guarantee that this will happen in the future, especially after experiencing the financial crisis of rice technology, there have been some small differences between Huang Yifei and Lei Jun. In fact, the most important point is that Huang Yifei knows that he has such a tacit understanding with Lei Jun now because he knows the development path of rice technology in history. This is Lei Jun’s own idea, so how can he not have a tacit understanding?
But what after 2016? Huang Yifei had no idea what the subsequent history was. At that time, he would no longer understand Lei Jun's future development ideas, so differences would inevitably arise. In order to avoid embarrassing the two of them at that time, it would be better to decide the voting rights now.
Perhaps it was because of the pleasant previous cooperation with Huang Yifei. At the same time, the second spring of his career brought to Lei Jun's career made him feel that Huang Yifei was the best partner he had met in his life. He did not make too many requests on future voting rights. The final agreement was that Huang Yifei and him each accounted for 30%, Zhang Fan accounted for 10%, and the other 30% of the voting rights would be left to a larger capital group that would invest in the future.
Everything was agreed upon. Compared to Huang Yifei, Lei Jun seemed very excited. Because this time the listing of Rice Technology is not in China, but in the New York Stock Exchange in the United States. Or a more popular term is to ring the bell on the Nasdaq!
Huang Yifei knew that on September 19, 2014, the New York Stock Exchange would usher in a very crazy day, that is, the super Internet company in China. Alibaba Group listed on the New York Stock Exchange. That day was a day that made the world crazy. Alibaba Group launched the first day and created a market value of more than 230 billion US dollars, surpassing aebook, and becoming the world's second largest Internet company.
This is the largest iPo (public offering) in history, and it also allows the world to see the power of Chinese super companies. At the same time, the Nasdaq rings the bell, which is also one of the highest honors of world entrepreneurs. The biggest dream of many people in their lives is to let their company go public and ring the bell on Nasdaq, so that they can become the center of finance in this world!
In addition, Rice Technology happens to be itself, Lei Jun and Zhang Fan, three people reminded Huang Yifei of a famous movie called "Chinese Partners", which tells the story of New Oriental English ringing the bell on the Nasdaq. Huang Yifei himself did not expect that one day he would ring the bell on the Nasdaq!
Perhaps his own rice technology will be one step ahead of Jack Ma's Alibaba, making the whole world feel crazy!
Everything has been negotiated, and Rice Technology officially announced the New York Stock Exchange listing plan to the outside world. At the same time, it has officially begun to agree with the New York Stock Exchange to ring the bell and listing time. Lei Jun set this time on January 20, 2014!
This time is only a few days away from the Chinese Lunar New Year. In fact, Huang Yifei really wants to spend a good New Year in China, accompany his parents and Chen Jingyi, and then decide what to go public.
However, the negotiations with the New York Stock Exchange were actually submitted for review a year ago, so this time cannot be changed easily. Huang Yifei could only seize the last few days of rest and quickly return to Xingcheng to reunite with his family.
At the same time, as the Rice Technology announced its listing plan, the entire business community was stunned by this bombshell. According to the current valuation of Rice Technology and the outside world's optimism about Rice Technology, if it is really listed, it is likely to reach a market value of 50 billion US dollars on the first day!
