Reborn: Billionaire in College

Chapter 243 is on the market! Listed!
I am now in my senior year and have very few classes, most of which are professional electives and public electives.

The school usually makes this arrangement to allow students to have enough time to complete their graduation thesis or arrange their own internship.

Wang Lei did not plan to take the postgraduate entrance examination, nor did he look for internship opportunities. He comforted himself by taking advantage of the last six months to have some fun, as he would not be able to have fun after graduation.

Zhao Shaoyang and Wang Lei left the dormitory as usual and went straight to the Internet cafe. On the way, their restless hearts could not calm down.

Wang Lei is different from others. He doesn't like playing games and goes online just to follow the latest novels.

He likes to read several popular novels recently, including "Douluo Dalu", "Fighting in the Sky", "Xian Ni", etc.

Zhao Shaoyang used to go online mainly to play World of Warcraft. Recently, World of Warcraft changed its agent, and 9City was backstabbed by NetEase. The server will not be reopened until September 19.

However, even if the server was launched, Zhao Shaoyang had no interest in continuing to play, because he had already secretly given his heart to DNF.

Zhao Shaoyang used to look down on Wang Lei, thinking that this guy was dirty and unsociable.

However, since Chen Pingjiang stopped living in the dormitory, Dormitory 603 has lost its cohesion.

The youngest one, He Siyu, just reads books every day and plans to take the postgraduate entrance examination.

Dong Tinghui and Guo Dewen, one went to an internship, and the other was happily in love.

Out of boredom, Zhao Shaoyang started hanging out with Wang Lei, just to have someone to surf the Internet with.

After arriving at the Internet cafe, Wang Lei read novels as usual.

As soon as Zhao Shaoyang turned on his computer, he saw a pop-up window appear on the desktop.

"League of Legends is waiting for you to join the battle! Beta activation codes are being distributed for a limited time."

Just when Zhao Shaoyang was about to move the mouse to the upper right corner to cross out the pop-up window, he noticed that the game introduction said that this game was operated by Renren.

Zhao Shaoyang smiled: "Since it's my brother Chen's game, I have to support it no matter what."

Not long after entering the game, Zhao Shaoyang began to immerse himself in it.

The personal experience of MOBA games and MMO games is very different.

The fun of MMO games, such as World of Warcraft, lies in exploring the unknown world, constantly completing dungeons and quests, and as the game characters continue to grow, players can also gain a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.

But the fun of MOBA games lies in the endless joy of fighting with others.

Zhao Shaoyang, who had played DOTA before, obviously had a good foundation and was able to get the hang of it quickly.

"Stop reading novels and let's play games together. This is the game that Brother Chen's company just released. If two people team up together, they will get bonus experience and gold coins."

In addition to the two of them, almost half of the other computers in this Internet cafe are also playing "League of Legends". If it weren't for the better internal test numbers, this number would have increased.

The remaining half are playing DNF, and only a very small number of people are playing CF and other games.

Backed by Renren's powerful publicity and marketing channels and the experience of successfully operating DNF, "League of Legends" has already attracted the public's attention during the preheating stage.

Of the 100,000 beta test accounts prepared in advance, except for a small portion that was released before the beta test began, the vast majority of the remaining accounts were cleared on the day of the beta test.

"This is beyond my expectation, guys. League of Legends is actually loved by so many female players?"

"Not surprising, the line 'Captain Teemo, on standby' just killed me."

"Is there a female player upstairs? Damn, I'm going to give it a try."

"You have nowhere to try it out because the activation codes have already been distributed, unless Renren.com sends out a second batch."

"League of Legends has better graphics than DOTA, and is more friendly to novices. No need to deny, which greatly reduces the difficulty of laning. The unified shortcut key settings do not require you to remember the key positions for each hero you play like in DOTA. More importantly, heroes like Carl, Tinker, and Geomancer in DOTA cannot be played well without practicing for a few months, but League of Legends is different."

"Brother, I highly recommend Blademaster. This hero is awesome. You can quickly accumulate gold in the jungle. When you reach level 6, you can use your ultimate to harvest enemies frequently. When others attack you, you can recover health. After recovering health, you can use Q to kill two enemies at once."

"You only met someone who doesn't know how to play. If you meet someone who knows how to play, you will be killed with one control. It's more fun to play as a magic mid laner. If you play well, you can really kill instantly."

"We strongly request Renren to release the second batch of activation codes. We want to play!"

"+1"

Tian Hongrui seems indifferent to the success of "League of Legends". With the example of DNF in the past, "League of Legends" is nothing.

If DNF, a 2D fighting game, can be popular, how can League of Legends not be popular?

After all, to some extent, MOBA games are a blank market.

DOTA is slowly going downhill and no one is updating it anymore. All the developers were poached by Riot Games.

"Another 50,000 activation codes will be issued, and all major gaming website partners and friendly companies will keep some."

After making the arrangements, Tian Hongrui went to the airport to meet up with the main force under the arrangement of his secretary.

The day for Renren Group to go public has arrived!
In the VIP lounge, as soon as Tian Hongrui sat down, Wen Yan and other executives came over to congratulate him. "Old Tian, ​​it's you who has to succeed in making every game you make."

Tian Hongrui smiled and said, "It has nothing to do with me. Anyone else can do it well. It's mainly because Director Chen has a good plan. Operations are a piece of cake."

Renren is about to go public, and everyone is relaxed but also a little excited.

In a few days, everyone here will be a billionaire.

…………

What’s different from the last time we went to New York is that this time the team is larger and has more people.

There were about fifty people in total.

A small number of them are many senior executives of Renren Group, some are the accompanying business team, some are mysterious guests invited by Renren to ring the bell, and some are reporters.

Yes, that's right!
Renren's listing was a big event. As the first domestic company to be listed on the U.S. stock market after the financial crisis and also the domestic Internet social networking leader, Renren and Chen Pingjiang attracted a lot of attention.

Even CCTV-2, the financial channel of China Central Television, sent reporters to broadcast the bell-ringing ceremony live.

The closer to the bell ringing, the greater the market attention.

Unlike other IPOs, which are usually only followed by relevant industries and financial news, Renren's IPO also attracted the attention of the general public.

"It feels like time flies. A few years have passed in a flash. I didn't expect it to be on the market now."

"Is there any big shot who can tell me how much Chen Pingjiang's net worth will be after the IPO?"

"According to the information disclosed so far, based on the initial share price, Chen Pingjiang's net worth has exceeded 500 billion. If the stock price rises sharply on the first day of listing, this figure will increase further."

"Fuck, doesn't that mean he'll be ranked No. 1 on the Hurun list?"

"Yes, and it is far ahead of the second place, but if we take the global ranking into account, it is outside the top 20."

"Is it really that high? Did Chen Pingjiang retain so many shares of Renren?"

"It's written in the prospectus that Renren only raised two rounds of financing, and he holds 50% of the shares."

"It's scary. You're so young and you have so much money that you can't spend it all."

Major financial news outlets reported the story like crazy.

"How popular is Renren overseas? It is reported that Renren has already received full subscription of 30 billion US dollars in just two days of road show. The first road show in New York is said to have attracted investors, and the queue was almost turns long, and the elevator had to wait for minutes."

"A Wall Street fund manager said that he had been investing in New York for more than a decade and had seen many IPO roadshows, but he was still shocked by Renren."

"The Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York was almost dyed blue (the main color of Renren.com) that day. As one of the most luxurious hotels in the world where heads of state often stay, the scene caused by Chen Pingjiang was no less impressive."

"For investors, they generally believe that the minimum offering price of $32 means that Renren still has a lot of room for growth, which is why investors flocked to the roadshow."

On TV, after the host finished introducing the website, he asked the guest next to him: "Mr. Lai, can you explain to us why Renren is so popular?"

Mr. Lai raised his glasses and said, "It depends on several factors. The first is that SNS social networking sites are very popular around the world. In the United States, there is Facebook, and in China, there is Renren. The two are similar in size and volume, but for some reason, Renren's valuation is much lower than Facebook's. From this perspective, it is a good deal."

"The second reason is that the general view is that Renren went public at least a year earlier than expected. Many people think that if Renren had waited one to two years for its IPO, when the mobile Internet was more mature, its valuation would have at least tripled to five times. I am actually very curious about this."

"The third reason is that after the recent financial crisis, the US stock market also needed a high-quality company to boost capital confidence, and Renren was the most suitable candidate."

"The last reason is that Renren founder Chen Pingjiang has brought greater imagination and confidence to investors."

"To sum up, this explains why Renren's IPO was so popular."

At the University of Finance and Economics, Ning Yongde, Kuang Minghong and others sat in front of the TV with smiles on their faces, guarding the buds for more than three years, waiting for them to bloom.

In the cafeteria of the University of Finance and Economics, it was breakfast time. Countless students had no appetite and stared at the host on TV.

In Zhongshan Villa, Chen Guangming, Xu Fangjuan and Yan Yan's family of three were communicating with each other with smiles on their faces, and live broadcast images were constantly coming from the TV.

Ge Mengshi smiled and sent a message to Chen Pingjiang: I hope everything goes well.

Not long after, Chen Pingjiang replied: "Wait until I come back."

Escaping from the hustle and bustle around him, Chen Pingjiang hid in the toilet to catch his breath. His mobile phone was filled with various congratulatory messages.

Cong Nini's text message reads: Dad, people say you are going to be the richest man, can you support me when the time comes? [Expectation]

Zhang Xinyue also posted a message: I feel like the distance between us is getting farther and farther, congratulations.

After Chen Pingjiang replied to a few messages, he didn't even have time to read the rest. He adjusted his tie, walked out of the bathroom with a charming smile on his face.

At the very least, this morning on Nasdaq belongs to Renren and Chen Pingjiang's stage.
