On February 26, 2006, Walker rushed from the European branch to the parent company three days ago. Today, as the founder of Bluestar Technology Group, Luo Sheng, with more than half of the core management team and initial team of the group company Arrived in New York by special plane.

"This is CNN, welcome back, Bluestar Technology Group (BTC) is fighting for the IPO..."

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

"If we look at the valuation of Bluestar Technology Group, this will be the largest IPO in history..."

Luo Sheng led his team just arrived in the North American continent and has not yet left the airport terminal. The major mainstream media news here have begun to report, and the large electronic billboards in Times Square in New York also appeared today. Luo Sheng And the core management team members of Bluestar Technology.

It can be called a group of young and strong enterprises.

Much attention, when so.

In late February of this year, Luo Sheng and Bluestar Technology Group have continued to dominate the world's headlines. Compared with last year's Baidu IPO activity, everyone can see what platooning is.

Industry insiders and domestic netizens who eat melon are also strong onlookers. Luo Sheng is definitely the ultimate idol of the post-80s generation. The industry practitioners and countless entrepreneurs are also envied with emotion.

For Luo Sheng, it is undoubtedly ushering in his peak moment in the shopping mall. This is the moment that countless entrepreneurs dream of.

...

Bluestar Technology Group has an office in New York.

At this moment, Luo Sheng and his core executive team are all gathered in a small room. Some are standing and some are sitting, but everyone is very excited. Even if they are traveling for a long distance, they still can’t see how many. tired.

Luo Sheng sat in one part of the room, he seemed quite calm, and smiled calmly: "The 12-day global roadshow started on Monday, 27th. This is definitely a super difficult and super torturing journey, starting from New York. Start and end at London Station. OK, we still have less than six hours to rest before the first roadshow. Everyone has a good rest, don’t doze off in front of the camera."

Chad Hurley said: "BOSS, everyone is nervous at this time, but more often than not, at least my cerebral cortex is so excited that I can't sleep."

There was a burst of laughter in the room. Luo Sheng chatted with the core team members for a while and immediately forced everyone to rest.

Qin Weimu, Irene, Xu Yong, Yu Jun, Li Mingyuan, Feng Yi, Bai Lang, Lu Siming, Su Yali and other team members all went to the arranged hotel to rest.

The time passed in a hurry and it was another hour, and only more than five hours were left before the first roadshow.

In fact, when everyone got together, it was already more than two o'clock in the morning on February 27th.

...

At dawn, Luo Sheng was woken up by the alarm. Although he wanted to sleep a little longer, he had no time to give him a lazy bed.

Only more than an hour before the first road show, Luo Sheng quickly finished washing, he still did not wear a formal suit, he is still the iconic IT boss style, T-shirt + jeans + sports shoes have become his signature.

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

The special car was already ready, and Luo Sheng led the company's core team to the first stop of the road show when he left the hotel.

After about half an hour's drive to the destination, Luo Sheng went to the indoor lobby of the road show and asked an investment bank partner next to him: "How many people will come?"

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

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

Qin Weimu said to everyone: "Let me quickly and briefly. The management will arrange the position in the first row with the Bluestar Technology Group logo on it. Brady will come on stage and give a brief introduction to the roadshow. Will introduce President Luo."

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

Everyone nodded their heads. It was the first time for everyone. They had no experience. Fortunately, there were professionals like Qin Weimu among the team members. Although she had not presided over the IPO, she actually knew the whole process.

A few minutes later, a large number of investors began to walk into the roadshow venue.

Luo Sheng met Paul Watson of Goldman Sachs Capital, an old acquaintance. He represented Goldman Sachs at the last shareholder meeting.

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

"Yes, waiting too long, Bluestar Technology will not let the investors' money go to waste." Luo Sheng said with a smile.

"It should be so, haha, then I'll take a seat first."

"please."

Unfamiliar investors have appeared one after another. The final confirmation is that 1,059 people have come, more than 90% of them are European and American investors, large and small investors.

Finally, the first roadshow in New York officially began.

On the side of the speech platform, a middle-aged bald white man in a suit and leather shoes and glasses said: “Good morning, I am Brady, the head of Morgan Stanley’s global capital market department. I am very honored to start Bluestar Technology Group. The first roadshow of the IPO. Citibank, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Morgan Stanley and other brokerage investment banks attended the meeting. There is no doubt that Bluestar Technology Group is the most experienced in our career. Exciting company..."

Brady briefly introduced the event, and finally made a grand speech again: "Now I have Mr. Luo Sheng, the founder, chairman and CEO of Bluestar Technology Group."

As the voice fell, the audience gave a warm applause.

Luo Sheng, who was sitting in the first row under the Bluestar Technology Group logo, stood up with a smile, and then turned his head to pay tribute to more than a thousand investors, and then he walked to the podium.

At the same time, Brady saw Luo Sheng walking by, and both parties shook hands courteously, completing the handover of the podium.

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

They are still shocked by Luo Sheng's youth.

An investor sitting next to Paul Watson suddenly whispered to him: "Mr. Paul, once Bluestar Technology Group succeeds in IPO, Mr. Luo Sheng will become the youngest CEO of [Fortune 1000]. I think most investors should be the same as me. The focus of attention will be whether Mr. Luo Sheng is mature? Can he really be in charge of a huge IT giant?"

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

"This is probably a common topic between him and Bluestar Technology Group. Under normal circumstances, the advantage of the young head is considered to be creative, understand the latest technology, and possess these qualities. The head of Bluestar Technology Group There is no doubt." Paul Watson said calmly: "It seems that young people generally lack the meticulous decision-making and the experience in dealing with difficult situations."

The investor agreed.

But Paul Watson suddenly changed his words: "Is this really the case? Not so, there are always exceptions."

The investor curiously said: "Oh?"

Paul Watson sighed in his heart that he already knew some of the content, but he signed a confidentiality agreement, so he could not disclose it to the outside world. If this questionable investor knew about the three major issues of the original shareholders meeting, he would not Think so.

The investor said immediately: “Silicon Valley favors young people, which helps explain the recent under-reporting of the venture capital industry. We have reported to more than 500 companies with annual sales of more than $1 million and more than 5 employees. Engineering companies conducted research and concluded that the average age of founders of successful companies is 39, and the number of companies with founders over 50 is twice that of companies with founders under 25. The data shows experience It is more important than youth, age provides obvious advantages. As for Bluestar Technology and Mr. Luo Sheng..."

He didn't go on, because founders under the age of 20 have almost no data for reference.

Paul Watson actually wanted to agree with his point of view, but the facts and the current performance level of Bluestar Technology made him have to change this idea. At least Luo Sheng can’t treat it with common sense. He laughed:

"There is always a survivor's deviation. Mr. Luo Sheng has proved that at least for him, age is not important. What is important is technology, enthusiasm, strong curiosity and... super high IQ level."

Having said that, Paul Watson also ended the whispering private chat with the other party, and turned to look at the young man standing on the podium who made Wall Street boil.

Because Luo Sheng has already taken the stage from Brady.
