Chapter 146: Listing On Hong Kong Island, Undercurrents Surging
"Mr. Li, please speak."
"I can help ease the relationship between Longwei and relevant departments. Longwei's business will no longer be hindered. I can even help solve the clowns of foreign investors, but what price can Boss Ren pay?"
When Boss Ren heard this, he was more surprised than happy. Outsiders always said that Li Xun had a very deep background, but now it seems that what he said was true.
He had just solved the financial dilemma, and now that Li Xun could help him solve another problem, what else could he ask for~.
"I will add another 5% of the shares, but I have to wait until the GSM project is put into use.
"Okay, then I'll wait for the good news from Boss Ren."
That night, Li Xun sent Yi Zhengxue to fly to Longwei's headquarters with a group of people.
I thought this transaction would go very smoothly.
As a result, Yi Zhengxue gave Li Xun bad news.
"The investment talks collapsed!"
Li Xun was stunned for a while. One of them was investing with sincerity, while the other was just asking for money to tide over the difficulties. How could this be possible?
"What's going on?" Li Xun's tone became a little heavier unconsciously.
"Boss, the other party is completely a liar who raises money illegally!"
It turned out that Yi Zhengxue was arranged to sign an equity contract, but when he arrived, he discovered that Longwei had given virtual shares, which were only allocated to employees.
Isn’t this bullshit? Spending 300 million US dollars to buy back a bunch of useless virtual stocks, you can only enjoy dividends, and trading is restricted.
As a qualified capitalist, Yi Zhengxue felt for the first time that his boss had been cheated.
"Boss, you should ask David how much money is made by liars in the capital circle under the guise of scientific research and innovation every year. Don't blame me for making trouble. From the perspective of the person in charge of this deal, I think we should fight for Longteng. Due benefits.”
The weird Long Wei opened the eyes of Korea's top financial experts, and Boss Ren, who was obsessed with virtual stocks, taught Yi Zhengxue a lesson.
I almost understand the inside story.
From the boss's point of view, Yi Zhengxue is a qualified agent. Any normal investment manager would not agree to this transaction.
After thinking for a while, Li Guan said:
"Okay, Zhengxue, I respect your opinion very much, but I have to invest in this investment. We must have an agent in the communications industry in Longguo."
"But..." Yi Zhengxue wanted to say something else.
Li Xun interrupted:
"Let's put aside Longteng and help me personally invest 300 million US dollars in Longteng. Virtual shares will be virtual shares. The annual dividends will be a lot of money."
Seeing that Li Xun insisted on investing in Longwei, Yi Zhengxue didn't say much and said with a smile: "I believe in the boss's investment vision. If I can buy shares, I would also like to invest some.
Having fought so many victorious battles with Li Xun, Yi Zhengxue blindly believed in Li Xun, but this belief was based on principles.
If you lose personally, you lose.
It's not okay to bet on Longteng's reputation.
Boss Ren thought that this investment had gone bad again, and he was still struggling with whether to take a step back, but if he took a step back, how to explain it to his employees would be a big problem.
At this moment, he got the good news from Yi Zhengxue that Li Xun was willing to make personal investment.
I can’t help but admire Li Xun’s courage.
Longwei’s virtual shares were priced at 3.6 yuan each, and Li Xun bought more than 600 million shares. In Longwei’s heyday, the dividend was 2.5 RMB per share, and the annual dividend would reach 1.5 billion!
The time has come to the middle of the month.
Harbor City Exchange.
Today, several Internet tycoons from the Longteng family gathered to show up.
For the Sohu website that will be launched today.
The financial media in Hong Kong City are no strangers to these people. Because of their Longteng affiliation, these influential figures often appear in Hong Kong City news.
In particular, Wall Street's constantly renovated valuations of several companies have shocked many people's jaws.
The inability to directly participate in several Internet companies is something that many capitals and institutions are worried about.
Today they finally had the opportunity to buy Sohu's shares, which attracted many foreign businessmen to wait outside the exchange early.
It can be said that Sohu's stock has become popular even before it went public.
It even attracted the big shot on Wall Street, the stock god Buffett!
The reporters all hated that they had run out of film, thinking that they had been impatient before and that the heavyweights were still behind.
Sure enough, an extra-long Hummer H3 parked in front of the exchange.
This 11-meter-long beautiful car immediately attracted the attention of all the media present!
Even Buffett, who was surrounded by bodyguards, couldn't help but take a second look.
Li Xun, who was in the car, asked Mitsui Izumi to help arrange his suit. Li Xun was not used to wearing such a formal suit.
It cost him $1 million to redecorate the interior of this extra-long Hummer. The comfort of the car was put aside, but when it comes to being stylish, it really has no rivals.
As soon as he got out of the car, reporters took photos frantically.
Two rows of bodyguards kept reporters at bay.
"Li Sheng, may I ask what your expectations are for Sohu's post-IPO valuation?"
Li Xun stopped and said:
"I am very optimistic about the momentum of Hong Kong stocks. Sohu's listing market value is at least HK$8 billion!"
This is really not Li Xun’s bragging.
Sohu, which was originally listed on Nakedas, had an issue price of US$16 and a market value of US$490 million.
Today, with his funding, Sohu is developing more radically than in history, and there is no reason why it should be less than US$490 million.
Everyone couldn't help but take a breath. According to Li Xun's valuation, Sohu will become one of the top ten private companies in the mainland.
Several internet founders in the distance were whispering.
"The boss has nothing to say when he brags about it. Chaoyang, I think he will be the richest man in the mainland from now on!" Qiu Bojun joked about Chaoyang, but he was thinking about how great Jinshan would be when it went public.
When they were deciding who should go public first, Li Xun made the decision to give Sohu, which had the lowest market valuation, priority.
This is called asking for directions. If Sohu does not perform well, he will wait and see for a few more years before making arrangements.
"Haha, the boss is really optimistic about Sohu. I wonder how much market value Penguin will have after it goes public in a few months." Xiao Ma was glad at this time. Fortunately, he got on Longteng's pirate ship, otherwise Penguin wanted to go public. , I still don’t know how long or how long it will take.
Penguin, who has now made a lot of money in the game, has become the most promising among several companies. Fortunately, he shamelessly won the agent of "Legend".
Legend completely detonated the game circle of Dragon Kingdom and became the most profitable game in Dragon Kingdom in 2000.
He is no longer in a hurry to go public now. The company has stable cash flow and mailboxes are being launched one after another. Apart from continuing to develop games, there is almost nothing to spend money on.
"Everyone, the boss is here, hurry up and make some room."
Li Xun was in a good mood today. He showed a rare happy smile and stood in the middle of the six people to take photos.
He whispered to Chaoyang:
"I won't ring the bell with you later. You should ring the bell with your entrepreneurial partners."
"Boss, this isn't appropriate. Sohu wouldn't have reached the front desk without you..."
"Haha, Chaoyang, don't forget, you and your business partners are the protagonists today. If I steal your limelight, you will hate me forever!"
The listeners also laughed.
Chaoyang no longer hesitated, and was led by the staff to the place where the bell was ringing with a large group of Sohu executives.
The reporters swarmed up again and took quick pictures of them.
Chaoyang and the vice president picked up the gavel wrapped in red cloth and knocked on the gong.
The sound was pleasant, and the exchange began its first inquiry.
Taking advantage of this time, reporters from all over the world began exclusive interviews with Chaoyang and his team.
…Please give me flowers…
Soon someone reported on Li Xun:
"The first inquiry was HK$180~190!"
Li Xun nodded with satisfaction. This was a good start, and it would continue to rise until the market opened.
Chaoyang seemed a little uneasy. He didn't know whether he was dissatisfied with the inquiry or whether it didn't meet his expectations.
Time became torturous, the price kept changing, and finally stopped at 195 Hong Kong dollars!
The stock market officially opens.
Several people at the exchange were staring at the numbers on the screen.
It's shocking to see that every dollar increase means Li Xun's wealth has increased by tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.
In the morning, Sohu's stock price was soaring.
Li Xun couldn't help but open a Cohiba Tutor cigar that he had owned for two years, exhaling smoke while enjoying the happiness brought about by his rising net worth.
The staff wanted to come up and tell her that smoking was not allowed here several times, but saw Ji Xun's style and resisted the urge.
It's just that I can't smoke, but I can't say that I can't smoke cigars. It seems that it's okay if I just ignore it.
Until the market closed, Chaoyang breathed a sigh of relief and fell on his chair.
"At HK$315 per share, we have created a miracle!"
Someone shouted excitedly.
.......0
The reason why this Sohu executive is so excited is because he is a veteran employee of Sohu and only owns 0.42% of the shares, but now he has suddenly become a multi-millionaire.
Others were also extremely excited, and many were even crying in their arms.
Looking at this scene, Li Xun suddenly felt uninterested, and his net worth had only increased by billions.
Thinking about the cash circulating in the account, he suddenly lost his enthusiasm and just added a small series of numbers.
His free and easy performance made Xiao Ma lose his mind for a while. When will he be as calm and calm as the boss?
"Congratulations, Chaoyang, you are now a rich man with a net worth of billions!"
Chaoyang is a lot more free and easy. Finally, he was not slapped in the face. Otherwise, I don’t know what the media would say.
Is the Internet, which claims to have a net worth of 200 million, a parallel import?
When I was interviewed by Forbes, I was really a little excited, and I quoted $200 million.
Sohu's performance after its listing now proves that he indeed far exceeds this net worth.
This is just the beginning.
Sohu's listing has been a hit for several consecutive days. Sohu's market value has soared from 9.4 billion that day to 13.5 billion Hong Kong dollars.
Hong Kong reporters exclaimed a miracle.
The reason why Sohu is so popular is also related to the continued rise of Hong Kong stocks after the short-selling crisis in 1998.
The general market continues to rise, and Sohu itself is sought after by the market, so the stock price naturally continues to rise.
After half a month, Li Xun thought Sohu's stock price would stabilize, but it still kept rising.
Such an abnormal situation aroused Li Xun's vigilance.
Sure enough, in the next two days, foreign investors triggered the "listing" mechanism one after another. Sohu was informed by the stock exchange that two institutions had purchased more than 5% of the stock!
Holding a sign is a regulation of the stock market. When an institution or individual purchases a stock through the secondary market and reaches 5% of the stock, it must hold a sign.
Make your identity public and let everyone know about it.
It is a good thing for a stock to be raised. Being raised means that someone is interested in this stock and is ready to hold a large amount of shares!
But Li Xun felt that something was wrong. He thought of Vanke's equity dispute and hoped that he was overthinking it.
Just in case, he called David and asked him to check the details of these two institutions.
Because the two institutions' placards completely stimulated investors, Sohu's market value finally exceeded the 15 billion mark.
"Boss, there is so much money in Sohu's accounts now, how do you think we should use it?"
Speaking of this, Li Xun had an idea, which might change Sohu's original destiny. .
