Counterattack starts with controlling probability

Chen Qiming smiled at Chen Kai, his eyes full of doting. "When did you start worrying about these things? I see your current abilities. Li Hao is willing to fight alongside you because of your independent judgment."

Seeing this, Li Hao quickly added, "Actually, Chen Kai's official position is that of an expert hired by Noah and New Star Investment to provide us with 'guidance.' Nominally, he doesn't belong to any company, and there's no question of who he works for."

After hearing what Li Hao said, Chen Kai calmed down a little.

Li Hao turned to Chen Kai and said, "Look, the reason you came to Noah and Rising Star is mainly because you want to exchange trading skills with me frequently, right? Now your trading skills are unparalleled in the world, and you don't rely on family resources at all. You have established yourself in the industry entirely through your own ability."

After hearing Li Hao's explanation, Chen Kai's uneasiness immediately dissipated.

He knew that Li Hao was not simply "selling favors" but truly valued his trading and technical abilities, which gave him more confidence.

"Okay, in that case, I will trust your judgment." Chen Kai finally relented.

Li Hao smiled and nodded: "I will, Chen Kai. The most important thing is that we can go further together."

Chen Qiming looked at the two of them with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

He stated, "In that case, let's work together to promote this matter. In the future, the cooperation between Huanyu, Noah, and Nova will surely create more miracles."

……

At this point, Noah Technology welcomed a major strategic investor - Universal International Trade Group.

This incident was a major shock to both the company itself and the entire industry.

Li Hao did not miss this opportunity and immediately began to use this big news for media publicity and promotion.

He understood that being able to attract a strategic investor like Universal with international background and resources meant that the company's position in the market and future potential were highly recognized by the industry.

This is undoubtedly a historic opportunity for the company's development.

Driven by a series of previous events, Liu Xia has gradually mastered the essentials of promotion work and accumulated a lot of experience.

This time, she personally led the extensive coverage through Feiyue Media's channels, which not only had a wide impact in industry media, but also gained considerable exposure on other mainstream media platforms.

It can be said that Liu Xia's promotion ability has been greatly improved. She can effectively integrate resources and grasp the pulse of the market.

Through this report, Li Hao not only demonstrated Noah Technology's technological leadership, but also cleverly leveraged the investment background of the Universal Group to further deepen the market's trust in Noah and Nova.

With the joining of Huanyu, many investors and media have expressed their expectations for Noah's future development. All this is the result of the joint efforts of Li Hao and Liu Xia.

As the news spread, the company's public image was significantly improved and attention within the industry increased significantly.

Li Hao couldn't help but sigh in his heart that his team was becoming stronger and stronger, and all his efforts had finally paid off.

However, as the company entered a new stage of development, Li Hao knew that the next bigger challenge would be going public.

At present, Noah Technology has met the basic conditions for listing. With the continuous growth of the team, continuous innovation of technology, and injection of capital, the path to listing has gradually become clear.

However, whether the IPO can be successful and how to choose a cooperating investment bank have become key issues that Li Hao needs to consider.

"The listing has entered a critical stage. The next step is to select which investment bank to cooperate with." Li Hao took a deep breath and recalled the details of the preliminary preparations.

"Investment banking?" Xu Lei frowned. "This involves financing, underwriting, and branding."

Feng Zhiyuan nodded. "That's right. You have to be careful about this. If you choose the right one, the listing process will go much smoother. Otherwise, you may face a lot of unnecessary trouble."

Li Hao was well aware of this, and he said to Xu Lei and Feng Zhiyuan, "You're right. This issue requires careful consideration. I'm wondering if anyone can give me some better advice on this matter."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Hao immediately thought of a person - Wang Qiang, his senior and the founder of a venture capital fund.

As a senior investor, Wang Qiang has extremely rich experience and extensive connections in the industry, especially in investment, financing and corporate listing. He is definitely a very reliable consultant.

Thinking of this, Li Hao immediately contacted Wang Qiang and agreed to meet at a cafe.

"Li Hao, do you have something important to tell me?" Wang Qiang sat down with a smile, his eyes full of expectations for Li Hao.

"Senior, I have something I need to ask you." Li Hao went straight to the point. "Noah Technology is preparing to go public, and I'm considering which investment bank to partner with. You have extensive experience in this area. Could you give me some guidance?"

Wang Qiang nodded, his smile revealing a hint of appreciation. "You've made considerable progress, starting to consider these important matters. Going public involves a lot of intricacies. If you're really considering this, choosing the right investment bank is crucial. Let me explain it to you."

Wang Qiang began to explain in detail the criteria and key factors for selecting investment banks.

"...First, the qualifications and experience of the investment bank are the most basic requirements. You should choose banks that have successful IPO experience, especially those with experience in the Science and Technology Innovation Board..."

"...Secondly, consider the investment bank's influence and resources, especially its reputation in the capital market. If it has a strong brand, that will undoubtedly increase your company's exposure and attract more investors..."

Wang Qiang continued, "...the professional capabilities of an investment bank's underwriting business are also crucial. They can help you with the company's valuation and roadshow, ensuring a smooth listing. Financing capabilities and reputation are also crucial, as they are directly related to the scale of post-IPO financing and market response..."

"Another point is that the Science and Technology Innovation Board has its own characteristics, and investment banks need to have a certain understanding of it and be able to help you deal with these specific requirements."

Wang Qiang's tone became more and more serious.

"…pay special attention to fees and commitments. Fees directly impact the company's costs, while the investment bank's commitment reflects its commitment to the project…"

Wang Qiang paused and added, "Of course, you also have to think about the difference between international investment banks and domestic securities firms. Domestic securities firms may know you better and tend to feel close to you, while international investment banks can provide a broader international perspective and resources to help you expand into the international market."

Li Hao listened with great interest. Although he had some knowledge in this area before, Wang Qiang's explanation gave him a clearer understanding of the choice of investment banks.

He knew that choosing a cooperative investment bank was not just a simple decision, but a strategic choice that affected the company's future development.

"Thank you, senior. Your analysis is very helpful!" Li Hao said gratefully.

Wang Qiang smiled and said, "You need to digest this information carefully. But with your ability, I believe you will choose the most suitable partner."

Although Wang Qiang’s explanation was helpful, there are still many details that require in-depth understanding.

After returning to the company, he decided to spend some time studying the relevant knowledge in depth.

Just at this time, Liu Xia found him.

"Li Hao, I heard from Mr. Xu and the others that Noah is planning to go public?" Liu Xia sat down at Li Hao's desk, her tone tinged with excitement. "Actually, my dad has been following this as well."

Li Hao nodded, his eyes slightly thoughtful. "Yes, we are planning to enter the Science and Technology Innovation Board. Although the basic conditions have been met, there are still many challenges for us."

Liu Xia smiled and added, "Feiyue Media is also preparing for the GEM. My dad said that the mass entrepreneurship and innovation market has gradually adapted to the registration system in recent years. I thought, if we can promote Noah's IPO together with Feiyue Media, maybe we can find a joint sponsor and leverage each other's strengths. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"

Li Hao's eyes lit up, and he was obviously interested in Liu Xia's proposal.

He thought for a moment and said, "This is indeed a good idea. If we can jointly find a sponsor, it will save some costs and increase the exposure of both parties. It will benefit both parties."

Liu Xia continued, "That's exactly what I mean! Why don't we discuss this in detail someday?"

Li Hao nodded. "Okay! Today is the best day. If Mr. Liu isn't busy right now, why don't we go find him and get his opinion?"

Liu Xia contacted Liu Fei and immediately confirmed the time and meeting place.

So, Li Hao and Liu Xia came to Liu Fei's house again.

This time they not only brought information about the development progress of New Star Investment, but also had more specific listing plans.

Based on Wang Qiang’s previous explanation, Li Hao, Liu Xia and Liu Fei began to discuss the options of investment banks.

Liu Fei sat on the sofa, frowning slightly. "The Science and Technology Innovation Board and the ChiNext are indeed good opportunities. I have always felt that Noah's technical strength is strong enough to gain a firm foothold."

He paused, a thoughtful look in his eyes, and said, "However, I have an option that may interest you."

Li Hao and Liu Xia both looked sideways at Liu Fei, waiting for him to continue.

Liu Fei spoke slowly, "I know a local specialty securities company called Xiajin Securities. Their main business is sponsoring listed companies that are actively involved in mass entrepreneurship and innovation. More importantly, I have some acquaintances with the leaders at their headquarters."

Li Hao was slightly stunned. "Xiajin Securities? I remember that this company isn't very large overall, but it has sponsored a good number of companies going public. If you have any connections, perhaps they can provide some unexpected conveniences?"
