Reborn Millennial Gamer

Chapter 459 Hong Kong Stock Exchange's Regret (4k)

NYSE, trading floor.

Ivanka was wearing a pure blue top and a printed blue skirt. She walked gracefully, walking on catwalks all the way, and the sound of pedaling high heels gradually attracted the wolves of Wall Street.

All the lustful hearts are floating, and the eyes can't help but wander.

From the corner of her eye, she found a Sequoia Capital partner who had a personal relationship with Dong Wang among the noisy crowd. He was facing an interview with the media, and he was full of praise:
"Penguin's IPO is a milestone event. It strongly shatters the theory of the collapse in 05. People's interest in investing in China will increase accordingly. The entire global Internet structure is being rearranged!"

After walking a dozen more steps, I found another vice president of Carlyle Capital who was an uncle. He said bluntly that if you compare Penguin with other Internet companies in China, Penguin is already an Internet company that can only make money.

"..."

The words of praise are beyond words.

While Ivanka was shocked, she had mixed feelings. Looking back on the past two weeks, Master Lu and the penguin had become popular all over the world.

From the first road show in New York being over-allocated, to the over-allotment of stocks by institutional investors, to the repeated increase of the stock issue price and the company's overall valuation...

The whole Wall Street, even the United States is crazy!
"Den."

Stopping for a while, I saw Lu Fei accepting an interview in my sight, chattering, and I could vaguely hear the words in Chinese, but I didn't know what it meant.

"Many years ago, the founders of our company were eager to establish a company that was founded by Chinese people, but belonged to the whole world and this era."

Lu Fei faced the camera with high spirits: "Seven years have passed, and Penguin has become a household name in China. Now, we are ready for the whole world to know us."

"Thank you, thank you Mr. Lu for accepting our interview."

The predecessor of CGTN, the reporter of Yangma English International Channel showed a faint smile and sent auspicious words on behalf of the official.

"land!"

Ivanka leaned over, seeing every stitch.

"Hey, Ivanka."

Lu Fei's eyes lit up, she was like an iced soda in the hot summer, making the impetuous and stuffy atmosphere a little cooler.

"Congratulations, Lu." Ivanka smiled, "All the news is about to praise you to the sky."

Lu Fei grinned and said, "No more scolding 'false prosperity of the Internet bubble', right?"

"Anyway, I didn't see it." Ivanka knew in her heart that Penguin was in a crisis of public opinion during the quiet period of the listing, and her eyes flashed, and she changed the subject: "This is my father's wedding invitation."

"No~"

Lu Fei rubbed his chin and didn't pick it up immediately.

Ivanka's hand holding the invitation froze: "He asked me to give it to you personally. He is very grateful to you for giving me this job and allowing me to realize my dream in the film and television industry." As she spoke, she flicked her blond hair and showed a bright smirk : "You will participate, right?"

"Ok."

Lu Fei saw it through, nodded and accepted it, then turned around and walked straight to the "war room". Today, he must sit in the center and stick to it until the closing time.

Ivanka successfully sneaked into the "war room" by reporting the film project. At this moment, a group of mid-level and senior executives with stock options gathered in front of each computer, as if they were looking for money. Cheering for the trend, but also nervous about the $1 decline.

"No, no, no!!"

Lu Huateng kept mumbling to the computer screen.

"How about it?"

When Lu Fei heard the wailing, his heart skipped a beat.

Now Penguin not only represents the interests of one family, but is related to the future of Chinese Internet companies going overseas and listed. The higher the popularity of Penguin, the more it shows the potential and value of Chinese concept stocks.

Like Penguin, it just eats without reference. Compared with performance, strategic planning, and assets, it is not inferior to American companies such as Google and Amazon, but it is abruptly short.

At this moment, Penguin is rushing forward, breaking through the ceiling of the concept stocks in the Internet in the eyes of US stocks and American capital!

"Mr. Lu, the impact of 150 failed."

Zeng Liqing sighed, and stared at the K-line of the stock, a zigzag curve began to bow down after rising.

"It's still early, and there are plenty of opportunities."

Lu Fei patted the shoulders of the two of them, soothing them with a wide voice.

Ivanka next to her opened her mouth, and the red color of the blood version came into her eyes. The figure of "US $148.84" made people short of breath, and a thought popped into her head suddenly——

How much is this man worth now!
"Come on, let's talk over there."

Lu Fei pushed open the balcony door and strolled out.

Ivanka said: "The final editing of "Saw 2" has been completed, and it will be released on the eve of Halloween. Saito from New Line, let me ask you, are you free to attend the premiere?"

Lu Fei put his hands on the railing and shook his head slightly.

"Understood, I just said that you have other plans that day."

Ivanka opened the bag and took out the list folded into tofu cubes. On it was an investment platter exclusively provided by New Line. It was densely packed with the names of scripts that had not yet started filming, and it was written between the lines——

Play money!

"Butterfly Effect 2", "Reaper 3"...

Lu Fei glanced at the ten lines, and he was not interested in the slightest. Most of them were thrillers and supernatural films. There was no good project that was still deep in his memory. There was no doubt that they were all money-losing products.

"I don't like any of them?" Ivanka raised her eyebrows, "There are a few that I think are worth voting for in terms of commercial investment, just the ones that were ticked..."

"Pen."

"Give you."

"Go and fight to buy the film and television adaptation rights of these novels." Lu Fei scribbled on the paper, and circled one of them after writing, "Especially this one, shoot it first."

Ivanka was startled and blinked: "Twilight, what is this?"

"You haven't seen it?"

"No."

"I thought there were almost no women in America who hadn't read it." Lu Fei smacked his lips, saying that "Tiny Times" in America was a bit difficult to say, and he probably couldn't continue after he said it perfunctorily, so he changed his words and asked her to buy a book to read.

"Is it available in the Kindle Store?"

Ivanka got an affirmative answer, and immediately took out the Kindle 1 from her bag, smiled and said, "Can I borrow the wifi here to watch it for a while?"

"can."

Lu Fei squinted his eyes, wanting to see what tricks she was trying to play, so he agreed with her to stay in the busy war room.

Ivanka doesn't act like a monster, she looks like she has nothing to do with herself, she hangs up high, she really looks like she is flipping through "Twilight", but all her thoughts are on Master Lu and Penguin stocks.

Stayed until the afternoon close, the moment Zeng Liqing rang the closing bell, although the stock price was in the middle because many investment banks obviously left after making profits, investors rushed to fill their positions first, and continued to go higher after the opening of the first day's high level, and it was fixed at - —

$149.4!

"It's a pity, what a pity! I couldn't keep the $150 mark."

Lu Huateng sighed regretfully, showing regret.

"Ah~"

The faces of Zeng Liqing and others were more or less mournful.

Lu Fei saw it in his eyes, and said speechlessly: "Look at you, I didn't know that I thought Penguin had lost the battle to go public! Although there was no 200% increase, I just asked the people at the NYSE, and 192% is the exchange rate. The biggest increase this year, that is to say, we broke the record and made history, so we should celebrate!"

"Boss Lu is right, it's time to celebrate."

Zeng Liqing brought out the champagne and cigars that he had brought back after lunch, and distributed them to everyone with a smile.

"1, 2!"

"boom!"

"Bang! Bang!"

The cork flew out, and the rich smell of champagne wafted into the air. It wasn't like spraying Wu drink all over the place, but drinking it gently, and the amber wine was poured into each cup.

"I still remember that some garbage investment banks on Wall Street and Yahoo's garbage news took advantage of our quiet period to pour dirty water on them a while ago, and everyone was anxious."

Lu Fei raised his glass, "How are you doing now?"

"It's useless!"

"It's all fart!"

"What the hell, if it wasn't for the Yahoo news, it would definitely be higher!"

"That's right, I'll settle the score with Yahoo when I get back!"

"..."

In an instant, the crowd became furious, and their hatred for Yahoo rose to unknown levels, blocking people's way of making money, like killing their parents.

"Dry!"

Lu Fei raised his neck, drank it all in one gulp, and then added a second cup, "I still remember that a few months ago, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange mobilized people and sent wave after wave of lobbyists to persuade us to go public in Hong Kong, but they refused to do so. Agree with 'same shares with different rights', I don't know if you will regret seeing today's penguin?"

"regret!!"

The sound of echoes came and went, and the waves of people shook the sky.

"nnd, let HKEx regret it! Cheers!"

Lu Fei was very satisfied, and slapped his hands and said loudly: "I said, I will buy tonight's order. Before that, Sequoia prepared the best party on Wall Street for us! After fighting for so long, we should have a good time." Enjoy, enjoy, today is ours!"

"Oh oh oh oh oh!"

Amidst the cheers, Ivanka was standing on the periphery of the crowd, and she heard Wang Dawei whispering about the current net worth of the partners.

According to this closing price, Penguin's total market capitalization is about 146.87 billion US dollars, Lu Huateng's shares are worth 11 billion US dollars, Zeng Liqing's net worth is more than 7 million US dollars, and Lu Fei Lu Fei's 58.5% of his shares were acquired after this round of listing. Diluted to 52.065%, rounded to the equivalent of—

76.5 million dollars!

"Oh my God!!"

Ivanka covered her mouth with her hands and almost yelled. She could have expected that Lu Fei would surpass her father, but she didn't expect to surpass so much!
Her gaze became complicated and ambiguous, and the person standing in front of her was probably one of the top 20 richest people in the world.

Reminiscing about his age, for a moment, his eyes sparkled with spring, and he licked his lips with his tongue.

Skin color doesn't seem to be a problem anymore!
………………

As the sun goes down, the Yahoo building.

"Withdraw all negative news related to penguins."

After Yang Zhiyuan finished his explanation, he said with a gloomy face, "Jack Deer, your plan has failed, and the analysis of those investment banks has absolutely no influence on Penguin's stock."

"Who would have thought that Bill Gates and Buffett would buy? Shareholders followed suit, completely out of plan."

Lu Yun felt very uncomfortable, "But at least it didn't make Penguin's stock price break through $150."

Yang Zhiyuan's expression softened slightly, "Okay, what are you going to do next?"

Lu Yundao: "Ari wants to enter the search engine field."

Yang Zhiyuan was surprised: "You also want to be a search engine?"

"No, I can't make another search engine by myself. We can afford the money, but we can't afford the time and energy, so we choose to join an excellent brand."

Lu Yun pretended to be tough, and obviously Ari couldn't find a new round of investment, so he wouldn't last until the end of the year.

Yang Zhiyuan asked curiously, "Join?"

"That's right! The reason why Feigou.com can maintain its advantage in traffic is Sogou. If Taoduoduo joins Google, it must be a win-win situation. If you join Baidu, you can also win a win-win situation. Whichever company I join, whichever one I join, has a chance of a win-win situation." .”

Lu Yun said sincerely, "But I want to join Yahoo."

Yang Zhiyuan was very interested: "Why?"

"Just like Yahoo needs Ahri, Ahri also needs Yahoo." Lu Yun smiled and said, "Google is the most skilled, but it is too powerful. It is not the same as Ahri. Baidu has done a good job of localization. It is very strong, but what Ahri needs is globalization, and Yahoo is trying to achieve both globalization and technology.”

"indeed."

Yang Zhiyuan thought carefully, after all, this matter is related to Yahoo's strategic choice in China.

"Yang, I told you about the blueprint for our cooperation a week ago, do you still remember?" Lu Yun nodded when he saw him, "If he hadn't interfered with it, our cooperation might be able to see results now. There is still a chance to catch up, if you are interested, we can cooperate as soon as possible.”

"I think so too."

Yang Zhiyuan re-stated the conditions he raised to Lu Fei. The US$10 billion is still US$10, but the use is quite different. Among them, US$3.6 million is dedicated to Softbank.

Oh my god, there is a windfall!
When Lu Yun heard 10 billion dollars, he looked like a hungry man who had been hungry for three months. His eyes glowed green, and he tried to restrain himself and stay rational: "Okay, I'll go back and think about it."

"Isn't it too embarrassing to be listed before 08?"

Yang Zhiyuan asked tentatively.

"No, not at all."

Lu Yun didn't want to miss out on this financing opportunity, so he bit the bullet and said: "We have also discussed internally and set a small goal, striving for the 5th anniversary of Taoduoduo's establishment and listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange first."

.........

The Hong Kong Stock Exchange is very lively at this time.

"Open a US stock account!"

"What is Penguin's stock symbol?"

"Don't buy it, the U.S. stock market is closed!"

"Fuck the street, what's the market now, I haven't bought a share yet, it's a stock that Warren Buffett and the richest man Bill Gates will buy, if you don't buy it, you won't be able to buy it."

"..."

The citizens of Xiangjiang, who watched Penguin "go up and up" in the US stock market but couldn't buy it, were full of resentment. Why did good Huaxia companies go to the United States if they weren't listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

"Don't blame the Hong Kong Stock Exchange group for rushing to the street!"

"As long as you agree to the so-called 'partnership system', you don't give privileges, so what? This is a stock that Bill Gates and Buffett are optimistic about."

"I really don't know how the brains of those people grow."

All kinds of criticism spread in the retail hall, and every word and every word was full of complaints and sarcasm. The staff of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange were dull and at a loss in embarrassment.

As for the high-level executives, after the news of Penguin's listing came back one after another, they exploded the pot and shattered the pot in an instant.

The market value of Penguin is equivalent to the sum of the market value of the five major Internet companies NetArt, Sohu, Xinlang, Shanda, and Baidu. Anyone who can be listed in Xiangjiang is undoubtedly the king of new stocks in Hong Kong stocks, and no one can beat it!
In the conference room at this time, a group of local executives from Xiangjiang were silent and smoking cigarettes. They accounted for 7% of Penguin's failure to be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

"boom!"

Zhou Wenyao paced back and forth, finally getting angry, he slammed his fist on the table, and said angrily: "Just now, just now, the Financial Secretary, the Director of the Financial Management Bureau and other leaders all called me. , They all asked me, why is Penguin not listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange?

You tell me, how should I answer, what should I answer! "

"Ahem, how do you say that sentence, the wind can enter, the rain can enter, the king cannot enter, the rules are the rules, and any stock that wants to be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange must abide by the rules."

"Xiangjiang's regulation is that there is no dual shareholding!"

"..."

So far, the Xiangjiang local faction can't bow their heads and admit their mistakes. One after another, they are stubborn, making all kinds of excuses, and even think that it's okay to miss the penguin, since there is only one penguin anyway.

"Is Penguin an ordinary listed company!!"

Chen Xiaowen has always supported privileges for Penguin, and sneered, "We personally gave the stock that could have been the number one stock in Hong Kong to the New York Stock Exchange, and the position of Hong Kong Stock Exchange in the heart of Huaxia Internet Bus has plummeted!
In the future, more and more Huaxia Internet companies will learn from Baidu and Penguin to go public in the United States, and will not come to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, because we have always rejected companies with different rights in the same share! "

The opposition said: "You can't say that, this is the supervision of the Hong Kong capital market..."

"Is the regulation of Hong Kong's capital market left behind by the rapidly changing world, or should we make changes for the future and innovate quickly?"

Chen Xiaowen raised his hand high: "I propose to take the penguin as a warning, speed up the reform, break the listing restriction of 'same share with different rights', and not allow the next penguin to walk away from our Hong Kong Stock Exchange."

"what?!"

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar.

Just because of the penguins, the rules of the Xiangjiang capital market must be changed?What kind of penguin is this? It's too domineering!
"It's not just a company that is strong, it's people who are strong!"

Zhou Wenyao frantically patted the table a few times, and said with a straight face: "Boss Lu still has a lot of good eggs that haven't been put into the listing basket, Sogou, Feigou, Logic, Fuxin..."

"..."

For a while, there was no sound, and each technology company blocked their stubborn mouths. Some of the executives present even shed tears at the corners of their mouths, and Gulu swallowed.

Master Lu, why haven't you hung up the street lights yet?
