The successful launch of Blue Star Network was not only Jim and the others, but even Kent was very happy. Now Kent no longer manages White Lotus’ affairs, and his main job has become Jing Jian’s butler.

"Sir, the number of users has exceeded 90,000. According to the growth trend, it may only take one or two weeks to exceed 100,000. The server has crashed three times and is on the news. Do you need to pay for public relations?" Kent asked with a smile.

Sitting in the office and drinking the green tea that I hadn't seen for a long time, Jing Jian shook his head with a smile: "No need. Don't be afraid of the negative news of the media, but you're afraid of the lack of news from the media. Kent, I finally got this tea."

After taking a sip of tea, Kent said: "I am not used to this taste. I still like black tea. Sir, should we start the acquisition of AU company next?"

"What are their current prices?" Jing Jian asked.

"Today's closing price was $1.24, down 3%."

"It's almost done, mainly cash acquisitions, let Blue Star Network go public through a backdoor listing, keeping the price below $1.5." Jing Jian ordered.

"I understand, sir."

"Also, I hope it can be completed within half a month. If you want to delay time? Then give up. The Nasdaq's shell is not worth a lot!"

"Okay, Mr. Su and Mr. Hirata have agreed that they will put pressure on other shareholders of AU."

Although Blue Star Network was launched quite successfully, it earned quite a bit of revenue. Except for a phone company and White Lotus, all other advertisers were on the wait-and-see state. As expected, if you want to break even, you will need at least 2 or 3 years of burning money.

In addition, those technical talents are quite lacking, and recruiting them with high salaries is not much attractive. They also need company equity and investment in hardware such as servers is even more troublesome. If you want to expand quickly, you can simply acquire a computer company, which will result twice the result with half the effort. And that AU company has entered Jing Jian's sight.

The situation of that AU company is also quite bad. It has been fighting continuously and has been taking detours in technology. Several R&Ds have ended in failure. After the listing of Nasdaq, the stock price has been falling all the way, and now it is close to the life-and-death line of $1.

In the US securities market, if the stock price is less than USD, it will basically be automatically delisted. Of course, there are exceptions, but it is rare to resurrect this way. It is not like in China, where ST's stocks can be speculated. Therefore, the shell resources of American listed companies are worthless at all.

Whether it is Hirata Yasuka or Su Can’s foundation, they have long wanted to escape from this mud pond. Therefore, as soon as Jing Jian came to the door, the three parties immediately hit it off.

First of all, Hirata Katsu and Su Can jointly sell their shares, making AU's stock worse. As they get closer to the life-and-death line of $1, the other shareholders become more and more panicked. At this time, if they propose an acquisition, it is easy to achieve success. Hirata Katsu and Su Can's losses will also be allocated to certain shares in the future restructuring, which is considered a kind of compensation. The shares they had previously trapped can be revitalized.

Waiting for the completion of the acquisition, a new round of equity increase financing plan was launched. The money obtained from financing will continue to be used as the burning of Blue Star. That is, it does not require much money to be spent by itself, and it can acquire a listed company and also allow Blue Star to develop rapidly, which is the best of all. Of course, it is nothing more than to let AU companies die, while Blue Star Network is developing a little slower.

"Kent, Christmas is coming." Jing Jian sighed with a smile.

"Yes! Another year is another." Kent sighed, "This year is really good!"

...

To use a very old-fashioned summary, this year is a successful year!

First of all, the returns in securities investment. Black Monday at the end of last year seemed to be an accident, and major stock markets around the world continued to have a bull market. In New York, Jing Jian's annual income was more than 180 million US dollars; in Hong Kong, the Guo brothers and sisters earned 240 million Hong Kong dollars for Jing Jian. The most exaggerated thing is Baodao, where Jing Jian can get more than 13 billion NTD, equivalent to more than 400 million US dollars. It can only be said that the money in the novice village is simply easy to make.

The situation of White Lotus is polarized, with total sales growing rapidly, reaching more than 930 million yuan throughout the year. However, profits have dropped sharply, reaching just over 10 million yuan. There are several reasons here, the construction of the five major storage centers in North America; exports to the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe have obtained a large amount of international non-circulating currencies. For example, the hands of the Hamburg branch now have more than 80 million East Demarks. Also, a large amount of profits are intercepted to factories in China and the Skeleton Sea in Hong Kong.

This year, the profit of Skeleton Sea also exceeded 460 million Hong Kong dollars. Mainland factories experienced a blowout in the second half of the year due to "king advertising", and also achieved a profit of more than 200 million yuan.

Seed Media brought surprises, and the broadcast and surrounding areas of "Infinity" made more than 160 million yuan. "Parkour Youth" was also strong, with a profit of more than 100 million yuan, reaching 103 million yuan. The water surged, and Seed Music's profit also exceeded 50 million yuan.

However, Jing Jian's investment is also quite large. The construction of mainland factories alone and the import equipment assembly line are equivalent to more than 200 million US dollars. The total investment of the Portsmouth Club has reached 350 million US dollars. As for other fragmentary investments, such as GGAB genetically modified companies, the total investment is also more than 20 million US dollars. The total investment of the theater chain is also the largest, and the current total investment has exceeded 300 million US dollars. The profit brought by the theater chain is only more than 14 million, which is almost negligible.

Some of Jaton's wells and Golden Island plans, as well as Liu Kai's Dahe Industrial and Jinfu's gambling ships, are still under construction, and some are profiting smaller and smaller, so we will not count them in detail here.

Others, such as Iceberg Network, Blue Star Network, etc., can only be said to have a great impact, but in fact, when it comes to burning money, from a positive perspective, the pursuit of the future is the future!

And now, Jing Jian's capital flow remains above $600 million. Similarly, foreign loans have exceeded $300 million. If he adds his shares in Microsoft, his assets have steadily exceeded $1 billion. In fact, he is already one of the richest people of this era.
