Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 703
These two sentences are "capital has no temperature, but capitalists have" and "profit for the cultivator and benefit for the eater".

The latter points out the corporate culture of Goodfarmer Group, and Lao Mei is particularly obsessed with this set.

He Ping asked the group to find a professor from Beijing University of Foreign Studies to translate this Chinese slogan into English. There is only one standard—faithfulness, expressiveness, and elegance, so that foreigners will be full of compulsion when they hear it.

The corporate creed that cost hundreds of yuan to translate today did not disappoint He Ping, and made the foreigners present have a good impression of Goodfarmer Group.

But what impresses foreigners even more is his previous sentence - capital does not have temperature, but capitalists do.

Where is America?Capitalist paradise.

Where is Wall Street?The lair of capitalists, the people here are capitalists who harvest capitalists.

In the hearts of ordinary American people, Wall Street represents money, but also represents greed without a bottom line.

He Ping's sentence "Capital has no temperature, but capitalists have it" is like poking the G-spot of the foreigners present, making them collectively climax. They need such a sense of identity too much.

This sentence made them immediately regard He Ping as one of their own.

My family must support me!
Rodin Elton looked enviously at He Ping on the stage, "He is really a born speaker!"

When Lin Tingtao heard what he said, he didn't say anything on the face, but he retorted in his heart, still an orator?The boss is born to be a big fool, and these old beauties have never seen the world, and they were fooled by the boss after a few words, and they even stood up and applauded. As for it?

Personality charm is very mysterious, and most of it is achieved through talking. He Ping is not good at anything else. When it comes to bragging, he is an expert.

It's not that foreigners have never seen bragging, mainly because they have never seen bragging so fresh and refined, with the same hatred, and dare to be their own.

The success of the first roadshow at Sheraton gave a good start to the listing roadshow of Goodfarmer Group. In the next half month, He Ping led the senior management team of Goodfarmer Group and First Boston and other listing counseling institutions. , Surrounding the land of America at a rate of one city every two or three days.

During the interval between the roadshows, he had to accept interviews with major TV stations, newspapers, magazines and other media in the United States. The 2000 million paid to First Boston was not in vain.

The Public Relations Department of Goodfarmer also specifically contacted Time Magazine, which had interviewed He Ping. When He Ping was interviewed by Time Weekly, He Ping once told reporters that he would lead Goodfarmer Group to go public in the United States.

As soon as the news of Goodfarmer Group's listing in the US reached the editorial office of Time Magazine, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Who would have thought that the big talk of a small private business owner from a socialist country in the Far East that I interviewed back then would actually come true!
Jay Matthews couldn't have imagined that in an underdeveloped country, especially a country dominated by the state-owned economy, what kind of ability and perseverance would be required to lead a private company to go public in America!
The task of interviewing fell on him without hesitation, and this can be regarded as a return visit to the interviewees of the year.

He Ping was a little surprised to see Jay Matthews. He didn't expect to see an old acquaintance in America.

For the interview with Time Magazine, He Ping set aside two hours to be interviewed by Jay Matthews.

"He, I didn't expect that you really fulfilled the promise you made back then!"

"Of course the promise must be fulfilled, otherwise what's the point?"

"That's right! Congratulations on such an amazing achievement."

"Thank you! I didn't expect to see old friends in America."

……

The interview was conducted in a cordial and friendly atmosphere. Jay Matthews learned about the development of Goodfarmer Group in recent years. Jay was a little surprised when he heard that the group's current annual revenue has exceeded US$6 million.

"He, you guys are developing so fast, I even feel that my train of thought can't keep up."

He Ping said with a smile: "Jay, you really should visit China every year. Believe me, it will change your perception every time and let you know a brand new China."

"He, I was moved by what you said. It seems that I really want to go to China more in the future."

"Then, on behalf of all the staff of Good Farm Group, I welcome you, an old friend."

The interview with "Time Magazine" ended soon, and Jay Matthews said to He Ping, "It's a pity that this time is too hasty. I will definitely give you another exclusive interview when I have a chance in the future."

"I'm so happy. If there is a suitable opportunity in the future, we will definitely meet again."

After the interview, He Ping started the road show again.

With the advancement of the road show, the news of Goodfarmer Group's IPO continued to appear on the pages of major news media in America, which aroused a lot of attention.

In the early 90s, the big brother of Tsarist Russia was getting old. As the second brother of the socialist camp, China has maintained friendly exchanges with America in recent years. a strong interest.

Enterprises from this socialist country want to go public in America?People who hear the news will subconsciously pay attention to it.

The road show was successful, the news fermented, and everything was developing in a good direction.

The amount of funds raised by Goodfarmer Group is unique among agricultural and animal husbandry companies that have IPO'd on the New York Stock Exchange. There has been no agricultural and animal husbandry stocks listed here for nearly a year, which also released the enthusiasm of some investors who are optimistic about agricultural and animal husbandry companies.

Through the road show, major institutional investors and fund managers have given positive feedback, and Goodfarmer Group's stock subscription has gradually shown a hot trend.

All the executives participating in the road show and all the staff of the underwriter First Boston were stimulated by such scenes every day, as if they were beaten with chicken blood. Even Professor Guo Wenxing, an old man in his 60s, rushed to the road show every day, Promote Good Farm Group to institutional and individual investors in very substandard English.

The last stop of the roadshow was San Francisco, and the roadshow across the entire America ushered in the last one today.

The day after tomorrow, that is, September 9, Goodfarmer Group will be officially listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

In the question-and-answer session at the end of the roadshow, He Ping said emotionally when answering investors’ questions: “Thank you to all American investors for their recognition of Goodfarmer Group and our management team. The shares of the Agricultural Group have received more than 5 times the subscription."

There was a reason why He Ping was so excited, because the IPO price range was set at US$20-24 based on discussions and negotiations between Good Farmer and First Boston based on various factors.If the subscription ratio of the roadshow is less than 5 times, the issue price will be US$20, which is the lower limit of the inquiry price.

More than 5 times the subscription, that is, the lower limit of the offer price range of the cumulative bidding and inquiry has been broken.

Goodfarmer Group’s IPO plans to issue 15% of the total share capital and 1800 million shares. The response is good now. First Boston even proposed to increase the IPO price to around US$26. After all, the higher the stock price, the higher their The higher the achievement.

After some weighing, He Ping finally agreed to this proposal.

No one would hate money for it. The roadshow only announced a price range, but did not finalize the stock price. The result of over five times the subscription proved that the market is optimistic about Goodfarmer Group.

The adjustment of the IPO stock price to US$26 means that Goodfarmer Group will release more than 2110 million shares to the market, raising funds at a sky-high price of more than US$5.5 million.

If God doesn't take it, you will be blamed instead. There are not many opportunities to get the old beauty's wool so happily.

While the roadshow of Goodfarmer Group in America was in full swing, domestic news about Goodfarmer Group's listing in the United States also became hot.

The reason was that a press release of a reporter from New H Agency interviewing He Ping during the road show was sent back to China, and was published on the front page by New H Agency.

Chinese companies go public in the US!

Chinese enterprises, America, and listing, these three words have a wonderful chemical reaction when put together.

The 90s was the climax stage of foreign worship in China. Not only in the hearts of ordinary people, but also in the hearts of some senior government officials and intellectuals, American farts are delicious.

The listing of Chinese enterprises in America is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for all Chinese people, and instantly ignited the patriotism and pride of all citizens.

A reporter with good deeds dug out the interview draft of "Time Magazine" that had reported on He Ping.

This report also reminded the public of the memories of Goodfarmer Group going public in the United States a few years ago. They are not bragging, they really did it.

While countless people cheered for Good Farm Group, they also had to praise: Good Farm is awesome!He Ping is awesome!
If you say you go to the U.S. for listing, you go to the U.S. for listing, and the man spit and nails it.

The exciting news that Goodfarmer Group went public in the United States became a hot topic nationwide after just a few days of fermentation.

"The First Share of a Socialist Country Is Listed in the United States, China's Economic Reform Goes to Deep Water"

"Goodfarmer Group's IPO in the US, Private Enterprises Usher in Spring"

"The birth of the first listed company in the United States, what kind of enlightenment does it bring to the Chinese business community?" "

……

The numerous reports occupied the front pages of major media across the country in a short period of time, and the national pride in the hearts of Chinese people was thoroughly stimulated.

The products of Goodfarmer Group in the market have become the favorites of ordinary people when they shop. Countless people rush to buy them, and there are even news reports of stampedes caused by panic buying in many areas.

The group's listing was on the news, the company's products were sought after, and the inside of Goodfarmer Group was full of joy, just like Chinese New Year, and they worked overtime happily.

Since then, everyone has become an employee of a listed company. Although most people don't know the benefits of this title, it is a fact that Good Farmer treats its employees well. Even if the group's listing does not benefit everyone, they are happy with it.

But the people in Hantun are even more happy. The news of Goodfarmer Group's roadshow in America will always be delayed by a day or two before being sent back to China.

Many people in the village work in the group, and by the way, I gave the villagers some popular science about the role of listing, roadshows, and stock prices.

In the past few months, Goodfarmer Group has gone all out to go public in the United States, and has given employees knowledge of this aspect.

On the last night of the roadshow, the news from America had just returned to China, and it was morning in China.

The accountant was desperately pawing at the beads of the abacus, and it was almost as if there were sparks out of it.

After finally finishing the calculation, he started to be stupefied, making the people watching beside him anxious.

"You've been doing the math for a long time, and you don't want to fart when you're done. Do you still want to work as an accountant?" The old captain cursed violently.

Uncle Accountant was scolded and looked around blankly, "What did you just say?"

The old captain was so angry that he wanted to curse, but was stopped by Han Zhaogui, "Uncle accountant, how much is this thing, are you telling me the number?"

Only then did the accountant remember that he was calculating the market value and stock price of Goodfarmer Group, as well as the stock value in the hands of ordinary people in Hantun.

He looked down at the abacus and swallowed.

"According to the news sent back by He Ping and the others, each share is 26 dollars, the group's total share capital has expanded to 1.41 million shares after the IPO, and the group's market value is 36.6 billion dollars..."

Before the accountant could finish speaking, the onlookers erupted in amazement.

"Good guy, $36 billion, where's the old money?"

"How much is the US dollar against RMB? Who knows? I remember several dollars?"

"It's more than four yuan. I saw it at the bank. It's 36 billion U.S. dollars, so it's more than 100 billion yuan, my God!"

Everyone was shocked and exclaimed by the astronomical figures created by the group's listing.

Or the old captain has the style of a general, "What are you arguing about? What are you arguing about? Let the accountant continue to talk, there will be more later."

"Yes, yes, uncle accountant, you continue."

Uncle Accountant had no choice but to continue: "This time, Goodfarmer Group plans to issue more than 2100 million shares. According to the stock price of 26 dollars, we can raise more than 5 million dollars, which is equivalent to [-]% of our group's total revenue last year."

"Ninety percent? That's not too much? I sold so many stocks." Someone around said.

"Silly hat! This is free money. Have you forgotten what the people in the group said? Our group has a lot of revenue in a year, but if it is calculated as profit, I am afraid it will not be able to earn so much money in three to five years. Besides, those foreigners will buy it even if they buy it. Even if we own our shares, we can’t be the owners of the company, at most we can give them some dividends a year. The old money is enough to give them dividends just by putting it in the bank for interest.”

"Look at how promising you are, still earning interest? Our group is going to do big things. When you go public in the United States, you go to the chicken coop to pick up eggs?"

"Everyone is noisy!" Uncle Accountant was interrupted again and again, and a little upset, he yelled loudly to make everyone quiet.

"I will continue. According to this calculation, our villagers have a total of 5610 million shares, with a total value of 17.16 billion US dollars. On average, the 134 household heads who hold shares are 1280 million US dollars per household, which is equivalent to about 6000 million yuan. Yuan."

The accountant was afraid of being interrupted again, so he said a series of numbers in one breath.

After he finished speaking, he looked at the crowd, and within a few seconds, the No. 30 people in the village showed a strangely quiet scene.

"Six... six... 6000 million?" Han Yuanchao repeated the number tremblingly.

After he spoke, everyone looked at each other and at the accountant as if they had regained their senses.

The accountant nodded heavily.

This night, the people of Hantun were sleepless all night!
