Rebirth of the Wild Age

If Tencent chooses to list on the Nasdaq, as long as it operates properly, it is likely to be several times the amount of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in the short term. Because after the Internet winter has passed, Chinese Internet stocks have soared too fast, and American investors have inexplicably huge confidence in Chinese websites.

Historically, from January to October 2003, the stock prices of NetEase, Sohu, and Sina have increased by 3,500 in total! When NetEase's stock price was the highest, it was nearly $60; Sohu's stock price was second, reaching $45 at one time; and Sina's stock price also exceeded $40.

Of course, this kind of inflated stock price caused some investors to be wary, so it began to fall back in November, and it had fallen back to more than 30 US dollars by the end of the year.

In this time and space, due to Song Weiyang's advance of the e20 concept, Nasdaq has become even more popular. In addition, he is also a shareholder of Sohu and NetEase, so the share prices of the two companies have been speculated higher, and of course they have fallen more severely, and overall are slightly better than the original space-time.

Therefore, Hu Shuli said when interviewing Song Weiyang that Song Weiyang's net worth was as high as 30 billion yuan in the stocks of those listed companies alone! Just look at the market value of the NetEase family. At its peak in October, it exceeded $2 billion, which has exceeded Wall Street's valuation of Google. It is a pity that the stocks that were not cashed out were all paper. In the next two months, NetEase's market value dropped by 500 million US dollars-a large number of investment institutions cashed out, causing the stock price of NetEase to plummet, and the situation of Sohu and Sina was similar.

After New Year's Day, the stock prices of Netease, Sohu, and Sina rose again, and investment institutions seemed to think that the leek cut was almost the same, and they came out to raise the stock price and plan to speculate again. In the following 2004, NetEase's stock price always hovered between 30 and 60 US dollars, and Sohu's stock price was between 25 and 40 US dollars. The volatility of its stock price made countless people speechless.

This situation may be because China is too far away, and American stockholders can’t figure out the specific situation, and they are particularly vulnerable to all kinds of off-market information.

One of the reasons why Xiao Ma chose to be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange was that he did not want to be tossed by the Yankees. In theory, for a company based on serving users, the closer the listing location is to the local market, the closer the response of the company's market value to reality. It is certainly not that much money to be listed in Hong Kong City, but there will be fewer stock price fluctuations, which is a good thing for Tencent, which is pursuing long-term development.

In addition, Tencent's business model cannot find a benchmark in the United States. Similar products q, Yahoo Messenger, and sn are not independent American companies, and there is no stable profit model for the time being. This is difficult to get the recognition of Yankees, because they generally believe that only the mature Internet model in the United States is worth investing in. They only listen to stories made up by Americans and are unwilling to pay for a Chinese story.

There is also the conscience of Xiao Ma, he wants to fulfill his promise.

Xiao Ma promised options to Tencent's early core employees and wanted to complete the purchase before po went public. To put it bluntly, it is a bit similar to Song Weiyang selling original shares to the majority of employees before Xifeng went public, but Tencent's behavior in realizing options was more direct and generous.

In the United States, this is a breach of capital market rules and violates the interests of investors, but it is generally recognized in Hong Kong City.

"Forbes magazine hopes to give you an exclusive interview," Shen Si reminded, "Before this, Forbes has contacted Taurus Capital many times, hoping to obtain some detailed data of Taurus Capital to facilitate their statistics on the global billionaire list."

"No!" Song Weiyang was too lazy to bother.

Shen Si said: "Forbes also sent a form, which is a statistical table of your personal assets, hoping to get your confirmation. Of course, you can also choose to refuse."

Song Weiyang suddenly became interested: "Let me see."

Shen Si immediately handed over the handheld computer, and Song Weiyang browsed it briefly and found that Forbes' calculation of his shareholding ratio in Taurus Capital had an error of less than 5. At first glance, it was a bit surprised, but I quickly let it go, because several of Taurus Capital’s shareholders are listed companies, and many things can be reversed from the statements of these listed companies.

In the blink of an eye, the Spring Festival, the "2003 Global Billionaires List" calculated by "Forbes" was finally released, and the "Global Chinese Rich List" and "Asian Rich List" were also announced.

"Song Weiyang, nationality (China), age (28 years old), assets (6.5 billion US dollars), source (diversified investment). Ranked 52nd in the world, 4th in Asia, and 3rd in global Chinese."—— This is Song Weiyang's basic message.

Due to the decline in the stock prices of Netease and Sohu, Song Weiyang's personal assets statistics have fallen by a full US$500 million from last year.

But the overall rankings are rising, especially the Asian rich list. The two Saudi princes ranked first and fourth last year, somehow their assets have plummeted, and they have fallen out of the top five richest people in Asia. Now the top richest man in Asia is Li Chaoren, the second richest man is the Nippen Joji family, and the third richest man is the Kwok family of Gangcheng, and Song Weiyang directly soars to fourth place. As for Sun Zhengyi, who has been the world's richest man for more than 10 days, now even the top 20 richest people in Asia are almost unable to keep.

The first thing that caused a sensation was the Hong Kong city. The media stared at the Forbes rich list every year, and there were only a few familiar names coming and going.

Now that the collective assets of the rich in Hong Kong have shrunk, all the people except Li Chaoren and the Guo family have been left behind by Song Weiyang. What about the stock god? What about the guide of the Internet industry? The first label affixed to Song Weiyang's forehead is always Mainland Chinese. But this mainland boy soared into the sky, 200 million US dollars more than Li Zhaoji's net worth, and almost reached the top 50 of the world's richest people!

In fact, the global rich list has gone from 48th to 55th, and the wealth gap is no more than 100 million U.S. dollars. Song Weiyang only needs tens of millions more to be in the top 50. Since the Internet winter in 2001, the world's richest people have The assets plummeted to the point that $6.5 billion was eligible to be in the top 50 of the rich list.

So Song Weiyang has a new nickname, all given to him by the Hong Kong media-Mainland China Buffett, Mainland China Superman Li.

Although Song Weiyang's current assets are only a little more than half of Li Chaoren's, everyone thinks that he can already be compared with Li Chaoren. The main reason is that Song Weiyang is too young. He is less than 30 years old this year and has unlimited development prospects in the future. There are even speculations that when he is 30 years old, his personal assets can catch up with Li Chaoren.

The Hong Kong media began to report on Song Weiyang again, and many of them even turned up the previous articles and published them again. However, the "Taurus Business School" accidentally became the focus of the report. The Hong Kong media took it out and compared it with Li Chaoren's "Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business" in detail~www.readwn.com~ So Xifeng's stock price began to rise again.

Many stock commentators stepped up to pour cold water, saying that Xifeng's stock price is a bit ridiculously high, and advise investors to pay attention to risks.

Although the mainland media is not as crazy as the Hong Kong media, they have touted it even more, because Song Weiyang is the only person in the mainland to make the top 100 richest people in the world. Even "News Network" reported solemnly: "Recently, the Forbes Global Billionaires List announced that Mr. Song Weiyang, a well-known entrepreneur in my country, ranked 52nd on the list with personal assets of 6.5 billion US dollars..."

Then Hu Run came to the door: "Boss, congratulations!"

"What are you going to do?" Song Weiyang smiled.

Hu Run said: "Did you know? Now some people call you "Chinese Buffett"."

"I know." Song Weiyang said.

"Then why don't you imitate Buffett and host a'Song Weiyang Charity Dinner' every year?" Hu Run was quite excited. "I can take full responsibility for this. You only need to come out to eat and chat, and it won't take you more. time."

Song Weiyang said: "The Buffett Charity Dinner is more than just eating a meal. It is equivalent to a large-scale charity show, with more people attending each year."

Hu Run said: "We don't need to be so public, we can do a little bit of restraint."

"I will think about it," Song Weiyang said, "I will give you an accurate answer when I return from the United States."

"No problem!" Hu Run said happily.

Isn't Google preparing to go public, Song Weiyang will go to the United States for a meeting in person. Of course, he could send someone to participate, but he happened to go abroad to relax and invest in a newly established company by the way.

Song Weiyang has been paying attention to the developments of Harvard University. Faebook was finally launched half a month ago. Now more than half of Harvard's students have become registered users.
