Rebirth of wealth and freedom starts from the World Cup

On November 11, although the winter streets of New York were freezing cold, there was a jubilant and bustling atmosphere in front of the Nasdaq Stock Exchange.

This day not only marks the official listing of TikTok on the Nasdaq, marking an important milestone in its development history, but also marks the 20th birthday of the young TikTok president Zhao Zixuan.

The world's attention is focused here, witnessing this young and dynamic company entering a new stage of development.

Looking back on TikTok’s growth, it has undoubtedly been a journey full of challenges and miracles.

Two years ago, when the overseas version of Douyin TikTok was first launched, it quickly set off a short video craze around the world with the vision of "inspiring creativity and bringing joy".

From a simple app at the beginning to one of the most popular social media platforms in the world today, every step of TikTok is full of legends and fun.

However, the journey has not been smooth sailing.

TikTok has also encountered doubts and challenges around the world, but as Zhao Zixuan often says: "On the road to innovation, we are never afraid of challenges."

He led the team and responded to all doubts with practical actions, proving the value and potential of TikTok.

Zhao Zixuan's growth story is an inspirational legend in itself. As a young leader of TikTok, he has keen business insight and outstanding leadership.

Under his leadership, TikTok has not only achieved great success in the US market, but also established a huge user base around the world. From Indonesia and Thailand in Southeast Asia, to the UK and France in Europe, to Brazil and Mexico in America, TikTok's footprint is all over the world.

Along the way, Zhao Zixuan and his team experienced countless hardships and challenges.

They cooperated with Shopify, an independent website building platform, and opened a new chapter of commercialization;
They teamed up with Walmart to bring users an unprecedented live streaming shopping experience;
They launched TikTok Shop, providing a new sales channel for global merchants. Every step embodies the hard work and wisdom of the team, and also witnesses the transformation of TikTok from immaturity to maturity.

As the listing bell rang, Zhao Zixuan stood in the center of the stage with an excited and proud smile on his face.

This moment is not only a glorious moment in his personal career, but also the result of the joint efforts and hard work of all TikTok employees.

However, amid the celebrations, questions also arise about why TikTok was able to go public in just two years and whether it received special help.

Facing the reporter's questions, Zhao Zixuan showed his maturity and confidence.

He first clarified the rumors that there was a transfer of interests between TikTok's listing and the Ivanka family: "TikTok's listing is based on our own strength and market performance, not the intervention of any external forces. We always believe that on the road to innovation, strength is the most powerful proof."

As to why TikTok was able to go public in a short period of time, Zhao Zixuan gave the following explanation:

“TikTok’s rapid rise and successful listing are first of all due to our consistent vision of ‘inspiring creation and bringing joy’. This vision has not only attracted hundreds of millions of users around the world, but also inspired the enthusiasm of countless content creators and merchants.”

"At the same time, our team has keen market insight and efficient execution capabilities, which enable us to quickly capture market trends and launch products and services that meet user needs. In addition, we have established close cooperative relationships with many partners to jointly promote the prosperity of the TikTok ecosystem."

When asked about rumors of his participation in the presidential campaign, Zhao Zixuan smiled and shook his head: "These are all nonsense. As an entrepreneur, my responsibility is to focus on the development and innovation of the company and create value for users and partners. Politics and business are two different fields, and I have never been involved in political activities."

Later, Zhao Zixuan turned the topic back to TikTok's future prospects: "After the listing, TikTok will continue to uphold its original intention and strive to bring users a richer, more diverse and interesting short video experience. We will continue to explore new business models and market opportunities to provide more and better services to global merchants and content creators."

After a pause, he continued: "Of course, we will also actively respond to various challenges and changes, maintain our innovative spirit and keen market insight, and let TikTok continue to shine in the global market."

Under the spotlight of the Nasdaq Stock Exchange, Zhao Zixuan's speech was like a breath of fresh air, painting a hopeful blueprint for the future of TikTok.

With the successful conclusion of the listing ceremony, Zhao Zixuan's confidence and determination won unanimous recognition from the audience and the media.

His speech was widely publicized by domestic and foreign news media and became the focus of public opinion for a while. Some experts even boldly speculated that with the rapid development of TikTok and Zhao Zixuan's outstanding leadership, he is expected to become the youngest richest man in the world in the future.

This speculation is not groundless.

As one of the most popular social media platforms in the world, TikTok's commercial value and market potential are immeasurable. As the leader of this young company, Zhao Zixuan's strategic vision and execution will undoubtedly inject strong impetus into TikTok's future development.

However, for Zhao Zixuan personally, these honors and speculations may just be a small episode in his long career.

He is more concerned about how to lead the Heguang Technology Group to move forward, create more value for users, and bring more positive energy to society.

After all, in his view, true success is not the accumulation of personal wealth, but the ability to influence and change the world.

It is worth mentioning that during this bell ringing ceremony, not only TikTok’s investment institutions and financing shareholders came, but also some bigwigs from various industries were present, making the popularity of this feast soar to a peak.

For example, Charles, Musk, Lao Ma Ge, Ma Cailin, Shan Jianwei, Li Chaoren, Li Zekai, Principal Wang...

Each of these names represents the pinnacle and legend in the business field. Their arrival not only adds infinite brilliance to TikTok's listing ceremony, but also highlights TikTok's extensive influence and huge potential around the world.

The presence of these industry leaders is not only a recognition of TikTok’s past achievements, but also an expectation and support for its future development.

They had in-depth exchanges with Zhao Zixuan and the TikTok team, jointly discussing industry trends, business models and future innovation directions, injecting new inspiration and motivation into TikTok's future development.

During this feast, Zhao Zixuan's interaction with these business giants became the focus of media attention.

The dialogue and collision between them not only demonstrated Zhao Zixuan's outstanding talent and keen insight as a young leader, but also allowed people to see TikTok's unique position and unlimited possibilities in the global business landscape.

"Zixuan, you really impressed me."

Li Chaoren patted Zhao Zixuan on the shoulder with a smile, his eyes full of praise, "TikTok's growth rate is even faster than I thought. If it continues to develop like this, if your Heguang Technology wants to go public, it will probably be a matter of two years."

Zhao Zixuan responded modestly: "Mr. Li, thank you for your praise. Every step of TikTok's growth is inseparable from the joint efforts of the team and your support. As for the listing of Heguang Technology, I have not yet decided. At present, it is more important to ensure the company's steady development and continuous innovation. I will make decisions in a timely manner based on market conditions and the company's own development needs."

After hearing this, Li Chaoren smiled even more broadly and nodded repeatedly to show his agreement.

He felt that Zhao Zixuan not only had an excellent business mind, but also had a rare quality of humility and foresight. In such an era full of challenges and opportunities, it is particularly important for a young entrepreneur to keep a clear mind and a steady pace. "Zixuan, your answer really comforts me. If the children of our Li family can achieve half of your achievements, I can retire with peace of mind."

Li Chaoren said earnestly: "In this fast-paced business world, there are not many young people who can remain calm and focus on the steady development of the company like you. Zixuan, I will always pay attention to your development in the future and look forward to you creating more brilliant achievements."

Zhao Zixuan expressed his gratitude with a smile. With Li Chaoren's full support, the future development path of Heguang Technology Group will surely be smoother.

During the conversation between the two parties, Li Zekai was standing behind Li Chaoren, his eyes fixed on the TikTok goddess CEO Mao Yourong who followed Zhao Zixuan closely.

"Zixuan has always been excellent, and I have never made a mistake in my judgment."

Li Zekai changed the subject and said meaningfully, "I just have a question. TikTok has been successfully listed today. Zixuan, when are you going to get engaged to Yan Ning? If you ask me, it's better to do it today than to choose a day. Why don't you just set the date for the wedding today!"

Li Yanning's pretty face turned red when she heard this. She lowered her head and dared not look directly at Zhao Zixuan, but she had a vague sense of anticipation in her heart.

"Uncle Li, you are always so direct."

Zhao Zixuan smiled and shook his head, his eyes full of tenderness. "I am still young now. As for Yan Ning and I, we have been developing at our own pace. TikTok's listing is an important milestone in my career, but it is not a measure of my personal progress."

As he spoke, he and Li Yanning looked at each other and continued, "To be honest, I cherish every moment with Yanning and look forward to creating more beautiful memories with her. As for the specific time of the engagement, I think we will announce it to everyone in the best way at the appropriate time."

As he spoke, Zhao Zixuan gently pulled Li Yanning's hand, and their eyes met in the air. There was no need for words, everything was self-evident.

Li Yanning felt Zhao Zixuan's tenderness, and the anticipation in her heart became stronger. She nodded gently, with a happy smile on her face.

The guests around were also deeply moved by this scene and cast their blessings over.

However, at this moment, two uninvited guests suddenly visited, interrupting this beautiful and harmonious scene.

"Zhao Zixuan, are you really planning to get engaged to Li Yanning? Where will my daughter be put if you do this?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Zhao Zixuan and the people around him all turned their heads to look at the person who had made the sound.

——They are a pair of sisters with similar eyes and eyebrows!
The moment Mrs. He, who looked very much like her elder sister, stepped into the crowd, she attracted everyone's attention. She was about 40 years old, but she was well maintained, her skin was as delicate as porcelain, and there was almost no trace of time.

Her facial features were delicate and deep, especially her eyes, which seemed to be able to see into people's hearts, shining with wisdom and majesty. Her long black hair was carefully styled into an elegant bun, with a few strands of hair gently falling in front of her forehead, adding a touch of gentleness to her.

Her temperament was even more outstanding, and her every move revealed a kind of nobility and calmness. Although she looked angry at the moment, her innate elegance and upbringing made her appear graceful even in anger.

She was wearing a well-tailored dark-colored long dress, the hem of which swayed gently with her steps, adding a touch of elegance and grace.

Mrs. He's daughter, He Jieyu, has a different style of beauty.

He Jieyu is in her youth, her skin is as delicate as a newly blooming petal, and her eyes are clear and bright, as if they can reflect all the beauty in the world.

Her facial features inherited her mother's exquisiteness, but with a touch of softness and sweetness. When she smiled, the arc of the corners of her mouth was just right, making people feel warm.

He Jieyu's temperament is gentle and sweet. She stood quietly by the side without too many words or actions, but she has an attractive power. She was wearing a simple yet stylish white dress. The skirt was light and flowing, swaying gently with her steps, like a blooming lily, pure and elegant.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still, because He Jieyu's every move revealed a gentle, sweet and beautiful temperament, which made people involuntarily want to get closer and explore her inner world.

As Mrs. He's sharp questioning words echoed in the air, the tranquility in the banquet hall was instantly torn apart, and a subtle atmosphere of tension quietly spread.

The guests' eyes were like searchlights, focused on the mother and daughter who suddenly appeared, their faces filled with surprise, curiosity and speculation.

"What's going on? Two women fighting for a husband?"

In the crowd, Ma Cailin quietly walked up to Mao Yourong and asked in a low voice.

However, Mao Yourong did not answer her question, but looked thoughtfully at He Jieyu, who was dressed in a formal dress.

"Isn't this too exciting? Zhao Zixuan actually has such a beautiful woman?"

A middle-aged man shook his head in disbelief, his eyes moving back and forth between Zhao Zixuan, Li Yanning, Mrs. He, and He Jieyu, as if trying to find the answer from their expressions.

"What's so strange about this? Who wouldn't want to be with a young, promising, handsome man like Zhao Zixuan?" Another lady pouted disapprovingly, with a hint of joking in her words. Although her voice was teasing, it also expressed the true thoughts of many people.

"So the question is, who are this pair of sisters? What is their relationship with Zhao Zixuan?" A curious voice came from the edge of the crowd, instantly igniting the curiosity of more people.

The guests began to whisper and talk, some guessing the identities and backgrounds of the sisters, while others tried to interpret more information from their subtle interactions.

"Look at that elegant lady, she should be the mother, right? What about the daughter? Could she be Zhao Zixuan's ex-lover?"

"Not necessarily. Maybe it's just a misunderstanding. After all, there must be a reason for suddenly attacking someone in such a situation."

"Right, right, right. Let's not make blind guesses, lest we wrongly accuse a good person. But having said that, this plot is even more exciting than a TV show!"

The guests were talking one after another, and the whole hall seemed to have turned into a large gossip scene.

In this sudden storm, Zhao Zixuan, Li Yanning, Mrs. He and He Jieyu became the focus of everyone's attention.

Every subtle movement and every eye contact between them was infinitely magnified and became a topic of conversation for everyone after dinner. (End of this chapter)
