Chapter 153 [Coming to New York again

On February 26, 2006, Walker had already arrived at his parent company from his European branch three days ago. Today, Luo Sheng, the founder of Blue Star Technology Group, arrived in New York with more than half of the group's core management team and initial team, on a special plane.

"This is cnn, welcome back, Bluestar Technology Group is striving for iPo..."

"The latest news from Bloomberg News, Bluestar Technology Group has begun to attack IPO..."

"If we look at the valuation of Blue Star Technology Group, this will be the largest initial public offering in history..."

Luo Sheng led his team to North America and had just arrived in the North American continent. Before leaving the airport terminal, the major mainstream media news here have begun to report extensively. The large electronic billboard on Times Square in New York also appeared today. Luo Sheng and his core management team members of Blue Star Technology.

It can be called a young and powerful enterprise group.

It's the focus of everyone's attention, so it should be.

In late February this year, Luo Sheng and Bluestar Technology Group have continued to dominate the world's headlines. Compared with last year's White IPO event, everyone has seen what it means to rank.

Industry insiders and domestic melon-eating netizens are also watching strongly. Luo Sheng is definitely the ultimate idol of contemporary post-80s. Industry practitioners and countless entrepreneurs are envious and are full of emotions.

For Luo Sheng, he is undoubtedly ushering in his peak moment in the mall, which is the moment that countless entrepreneurs have always dreamed of.

...

Bluestar Technology Group's New York office.

At this moment, Luo Sheng and his core executive team gathered in a small room, with some standing and some sitting, but everyone was very excited, even if they ran for a long distance, they couldn't tell how much fatigue they were.

Luo Sheng sat in a room. He seemed quite calm and said calmly: "The 12-day global roadshow started on Monday the 27th. This is definitely a super difficult and tormenting journey, starting from the first stop of New York and ending at London. OK, we have less than six hours of rest until the first stop of roadshow. Everyone should have a good rest quickly and don't doze off in front of the camera at that time."

Chad Hurley said: "Boss, everyone is nervous at this time, but more so, at least my cerebral cortex is so excited that I can't fall asleep."

A burst of laughter came from the room. Luo Sheng chatted with the core team members for a while and immediately forced everyone to rest.

Qin Weimu, Ailin, Xu Yong, Yu Jun, Li Mingyuan, Feng Yi, Bai Lang, Lu Siming, Su Yali and other team members all arrived at the hotel that had been arranged to rest.

Time passed by again an hour, and there were only more than five hours left before the first roadshow.

In fact, when we got together just now, it was already past two in the morning on February 27.

...

As soon as the sky was dawn, Luo Sheng was woken up by the alarm. Although he wanted to sleep for a while, he had no time to give him a lazy bed.

It was only more than an hour before the first roadshow. Luo Sheng quickly finished washing up. He was still not wearing formal clothes, but still had the iconic IT boss style. T-shirts + jeans + sneakers have become his logo.

The season is very cold now, so I added a coat, but even though the temperature outside is cold, the enthusiasm in people's hearts is enough to drive away all the cold.

The special car had been prepared long ago. Luo Sheng left the hotel and led the company's core team to the first roadshow location.

After arriving at the destination in about half an hour's drive, Luo Sheng went to the indoor hall of the roadshow and asked a partner of an investment bank next to him: "How many people will come?"

"About nine hundred people, maybe more than one thousand."

A few minutes later, everyone entered the venue, and there were still twenty minutes left before the roadshow officially began.

Qin Weimu told everyone: "I'll briefly talk about it quickly. The management will be arranged in the first row, with the logo of Blue Star Technology Group on it. Brady will go on stage to give a brief introduction to the roadshow event, and then he will introduce Mr. Luo."

Qin Weimu continued to add: "At that time, everyone can applaud and keep smiling and look at the camera in front of them."

Everyone nodded. It was the first time everyone had no experience. Fortunately, there were professionals like Qin Weimu among the team members. Although she had never hosted the ipo, she actually understood the entire process.

A few more minutes passed, and a large number of investors began to enter the roadshow venue.

Luo Sheng met Paul Watson of old acquaintance Goldman Sachs Capital. He represented Goldman Sachs at the last shareholders' meeting.

", I have been waiting for this day for too long. Congratulations to the success of the first roadshow in advance." Paul Watson said with a smile. When he came to Luo Sheng, he shook hands politely with him.

"Yes, after waiting for too long, Blue Star Technology will not let investors' money go away." Luo Sheng said with a smile.

"It should be so, haha, then I'll sit aside first."

"please."

Unfamiliar investors appeared one after another, and the final result was that there were 1,059 people coming, more than 90% of them were European and American investors, large and small investors.

Finally, the first roadshow in New York officially began.

On the side speaking stand, a bald white middle-aged man wearing a suit and formal attire and glasses spoke: "Good morning, I am Brady, the head of the global capital market department of Morgan Stanley. I am very honored to start the first roadshow of Blue Star Technology Group IPO. Citibank, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and other broker investment banks attended the meeting. There is no doubt that Blue Star Technology Group is the most exciting company we have encountered in our career..."

Brady briefly introduced the event and finally spoke solemnly again: "Next, please invite Mr. Luo Sheng, the founder, chairman and CEO of Blue Star Technology Group."

As the words fell, the audience gave warm applause.

Luo Sheng, sitting in the first row under the logo of Blue Star Technology Group, stood up with a smile, and then turned around and greeted more than a thousand investors in the audience. Then he walked to the spokesperson.

At the same time, when Brady saw Luo Sheng coming, he politely shook hands and handed over the speech stage.

The audience focused on Luo Sheng alone, and the applause ended, but there were still some small exchanges and discussions, and many investors were whispering.

They were still shocked by Luo Sheng's youth.

An investor sitting next to Paul Watson suddenly whispered to him: "Mr. Paul, once Blue Star Technology Group succeeds in ipo, Mr. Luo Sheng will become the youngest CEO in the company. I think most investors should be like me. The focus of attention will be whether Mr. Luo Sheng is mature? Can he really take charge of such a huge IT giant?"

Not everyone knows Luo Sheng and Bluestar Technology Group very well, especially the many large, medium and small investors present who hope to participate in the subscription.

"This is probably a topic he talks with Blue Star Technology Group. Usually, the advantage of young leaders is considered to be creative, understand the latest technologies and have these qualities. The head of Blue Star Technology Group is unquestionable." Paul Watson said calmly: "It seems that young people generally lack in terms of meticulous decision-making and experience in dealing with difficult situations."

The investor agreed.

But Paul Watson suddenly changed his mind: "Is this really the case? It's not like this, there are always exceptions."

The investor said curiously: "Oh?"

Paul Watson sighed in his heart. He had already known some of the contents, but he signed a confidentiality agreement, so he could not reveal it to the outside world. If this questionable investor knew about the three major issues of the shareholders' meeting, he would not have thought so after voting.

The investor immediately said: "Silicon Valley favors young people, which helps explain the recent poor reporting of the venture capital industry. We conducted a study of more than 500 technology and engineering companies with annual sales of more than $1 million and employees of more than 5 employees, and concluded that the average age of founders is 39 years old, and the number of founders with founders over 50 years old is twice that of founders under 25 years old. The data shows that experience is more important than younger age, and age provides obvious advantages. As for Bluestar Technology and Mr. Luo Sheng…”

He didn't continue to say it because the founder under the age of 20 had almost no data reference.

Paul Watson actually wants to agree with his point of view, but the facts experienced and Blue Star Technology's current performance level forced him to change this idea. At least Luo Sheng cannot be treated with common sense. He smiled:

"There is always a survivor bias. Mr. Luo Sheng has proved that at least for him, age does not matter. What matters is technology, enthusiasm, strong curiosity and... super high IQ."

Speaking of this, Paul Watson also ended his whispering private chat with the other party, and turned to the young man standing on the stage who made Wall Street excited.

Because Luo Sheng has taken over the speech stage from Brady.
