Chapter 1598: World Attention

On July 24, Li Dong began to visit some local giants in Xiangjiang.

When he got married before, many tycoons went to Xiangjiang, including the Ship King family, the Kadoorie family, and the Yangtze River, to attend his wedding.

As for Li Dong, this time he also visited one by one, as a return gift.

Face is given to each other, and if others give face, Li Dong naturally can't feel that he is the richest man in the world, so he must be visited by others, after all, there is an age gap.

Of course, he didn't go to the Yangtze River. The last visit was enough, and he visited twice in person. Especially at this time, it seemed that Li Dong was too weak.

Li Dong personally came to visit, no matter which one, the etiquette is very heavy, and he is very polite.

This is not the same as back then!

In 2007, Li Dong came to Xiangjiang for the first time, which coincided with the listing of Country Garden.

At the beginning, the Yang family held a reception in Xiangjiang. At that time, many children and senior executives of the big family participated.

At that time, Li Dong, although well-known, was still not taken seriously by others.

The core of the reception back then was the second young lady of the Yang family, the richest woman in China back then.

Some tycoon family representatives in Xiangjiang saw that Li Dong's attitude was not too respectful. Afterwards, some people dismissed him, and some made a few words of ridicule.

In fact, most of those tycoon families back then came from Chaoshan and Guangdong provinces.

But now, among Cantonese businessmen and Chaozhou businessmen, does anyone dare to underestimate Li Dong?

The two giants of Cantonese merchants in mainland China, Guomei Lao Huang and Teng Xun Ma Huateng, were all killed by Li Dong.

Even on the Yangtze River side, the talks between the two sides have not been very pleasant recently. Li Dong also said that he would do it right away, and started to mobilize the other party's business in mainland China.

At this time, no one in Xiangjiang dared to underestimate Li Dong, let alone ignore Li Dong.

And the party organized by Zhaofeng Fang's family that night was said to be a private banquet, but it was actually a clean-up for Li Dong.

Moreover, the size of the guests shocked the participants that day. Xiangjiang is more open than the mainland, and there are not so many restrictions on officials. That night, the regional chief executive and his wife attended in person.

In addition to the official representatives, many other old-fashioned families and some older entrepreneurs who own Lords also attended the banquet in person.

At this time, some of the second and third generations present were not even qualified to speak.

The whole banquet centered on Li Dong, and the people who chatted and laughed with Li Dong all night were those old people.

The only second-generation person who went up to meet him was Li Zeju.

Although Li Zeju is the second generation, in fact, he is now almost the actual controller of the Yangtze River. At this time, the second generation present, I am afraid he is the only one who is qualified to talk to Li Dong.

What the two talked about specifically, others do not know.

They only knew that at the end of the banquet, although Li Zeju was keeping calm, there was still some irritation and helplessness in his eyes.

...

Xu Shengzhe, who also attended the banquet, couldn't help asking when the banquet was over and he was in the same car with Li Dong: "What are you talking about with him, I think Li Zeju is very angry."

Li Dong smiled and said: "What can we talk about? About Baijia.

I didn't say anything, just said that Xiangjiang is too small, I plan to give up, expand the coverage of retail business in the mainland, and open up a beauty and health care area in the future. "

"Cough cough cough..."

Xu Shengzhe was choked, and he couldn't laugh or cry: "You really dare to say, is it worth it?"

Li Dong sneered and said: "There is nothing wrong with it, in fact, last time I came to Xiangjiang, I expressed my intention in advance.

It stands to reason that Changjiang really wants to save face. Before we made a merger offer, they should not accept offers from other companies.

I didn't say to lower their prices, do business, and everyone gives each other face. Now I need to use this to expand our layout in the southern region.

As a result, they saw it, and they insisted on shopping around. Isn't this deliberately trying to raise the price?

I bid 2 billion US dollars, which is higher than the initial acquisition of Carrefour. This price is just to win the top 100.

Isn't that enough?

What is the basis for their price hike now?

It was because of our participation that they were willing to increase the price of Huarun. Could it be that we have to increase it to that point in the end?

Without us, Huaren would bid more than 2 billion US dollars?

Now the other party is taking advantage of the opportunity we need to seek great benefits for themselves. In this case, they don't give me face, and I don't need to give them face.

To put it bluntly, I don't have much business in Xiangjiang. I mainly do it in the world. What can he do to me?

On the contrary, they ruined my plan at this time. We will wait and see when the time comes, the mainland business will be an addition! "

Xu Shengzhe frowned and said, "You bastard, you are becoming more and more domineering now, be careful when you suffer disaster in the end, there will be many people who fall into trouble."

"It doesn't matter. Over the years, I have offended many people, and I am not afraid of one or two more."

Li Dong said shaking his head and said: "Don't talk about me, Baijia, let them go.

Tell me, how have you been doing these two days? "

Xu Shengzhe heard the words and stopped talking about the Yangtze River. Li Dong has Li Dong's plans and arrangements, and he is not qualified to instruct Li Dong on how to do it.

When Li Dong asked about himself, Xu Shengzhe said with a smile: "I'll wait for you now, the road show the day after tomorrow, if your market is good, mine won't be too bad.

Longhua allots 2 billion new shares this time, and the total share capital will reach 10 billion shares.

The issuance range is now set at 6-7 Hong Kong dollars.

If it’s good for you, let me see if I can set it to 8 Hong Kong dollars..."

Li Dong shook his head and said: "8 Hong Kong dollars is a bit inflated, you must know that Longfor's total share capital is 5 billion shares, and the issuance range is the same as yours, which is also 6-7 Hong Kong dollars.

No matter how brilliant Longhua's recent achievements are, they are still more than double that of Longhu.

In fact, the price is 6 Hong Kong dollars, which is quite appropriate in my opinion.

For real estate stocks, the difference between the up and down increases will not be too large. Your pricing is a little bit up and down, and the impact on interests is limited.

If you can increase by 20% in one day, then you are amazing.

But Internet stocks are different. Before this thing is listed, no matter how vicious your vision is, it is difficult to see through it.

Once the pricing is low, the funds involved may be as high as tens of billions or even more.

To be on the safe side, 6 Hong Kong dollars is enough.

Of course, I'm just a suggestion, it depends on what you think. "

Xu Shengzhe pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly: "Maybe what you said is right, 6 Hong Kong dollars is indeed much safer.

And this time, I did not place shares myself, and the impact was not great. "

Longhua planned to have a total share capital of 10 billion shares. Li Dong was supposed to have his share capital diluted before, but Xu Shengzhe reached an agreement with him. In the end, Li Dong was able to keep 20% of the shares after the IP, which is a total share capital of 2 billion.

And Xu Shengzhe himself, after the last shareholding restructuring, now holds 55% of Longhua's shares, which is 5.5 billion shares.

Other institutions hold 5% of the shares.

The remaining 2 billion shares will be placed and issued publicly.

In fact, most of these 2 billion shares will not flow into the secondary market. Longhua has now reached an agreement with many institutions to take over.

Personally, Xu Shengzhe did not cash out this time, so the issue price only affects Longhua's financing funds, and actually does not have much impact on his personal wealth.

Once the market value rises, he has the shares in hand, and what is missing is the money for financing.

Moreover, for real estate groups, the growth rate is actually limited and will not be too high.

Seeing that Xu Shengzhe accepted his opinion, Li Dong smiled and said: "Don't be too concerned, as long as it can rise to 7 Hong Kong dollars when it goes public this time, the market value of Longhua will reach 70 billion Hong Kong dollars.

What is this concept?

Country Garden has fallen from more than 100 billion at the beginning to the current market value of 50 billion Hong Kong dollars, but the other party is still the first stock in Hong Kong's mainland real estate stocks.

As for the mainland A-share market, Vanke broke through the 100 billion RMB mark as early as 2007, and at its peak, it approached the 150 billion RMB market value mark.

However, after experiencing the financial crisis in 2008, Vanke has not been relieved until now, and it has reached a market value of 100 billion yuan.

And the real estate company ranked second in the A-share market, Poly Real Estate, now has a market value of 60 billion yuan.

Once the market value of Longhua exceeds 70 billion Hong Kong dollars, in conversion, it will be similar to Poly, or even a little higher, becoming the second largest real estate company in Mainland China Real Estate Group.

Don't try to become a fat man in one go. From being ranked in the top ten a few years ago, you have reached the second place in market value. What is there to be dissatisfied with? "

Xu Shengzhe sighed and said, "It's not that I'm dissatisfied, it's just that...

Forget it, it's boring to compare with you.

I just think, why is it so difficult to be the first.

It’s not the number one in all aspects. It’s hard to be the number one in market value. Country Garden did it in the first place, even if it was only for a short period of time. In fact, what I mean is the same..."

"And then follow through with a plunge, and then wait for investors to despair?"

Li Dong snorted softly, stared at him and said, "You are weaker than I imagined, why are you so eager to prove yourself in front of your father?

By the second, I think your father is satisfied.

If he really achieved the first place, he would not feel relieved.

It is even more disturbing to be the first bird with the gun, and it is also the first in vain.

Being the second child is always easier than the eldest, at least the sky is falling, and there is a tall person supporting it.

In the past few years, in my opinion, you have not seen your growth, but you have become a little confused.

Compared to back then, I feel that you are smarter, but now you are a bit stupid. "

Xu Shengzhe smiled self-deprecatingly, and said casually: "Maybe, to be honest, I felt that the competition was fiercer at first, so I had to calculate.

But since the boss became a vegetative state, the old man retired, and I was in charge of Longhua alone, I really lost a little bit of calculation.

Originally, I wanted to compare with you.

The result is good, you fly too fast, I can't keep up, there is no way, just live like this.

If it wasn't for the old man who couldn't hold on anymore this time, I wasn't ready to make a big fuss. "

Xu Shengzhe said, suddenly said: "However, during this time, I really have some ideas.

After Longhua goes public, I will prepare faster, what do you think? "

Li Dong frowned and said, "Whatever you want, I will sell all of you when the price rises to 10 Hong Kong dollars one day, and I don't care what you do."

"Is it unnecessary?"

Xu Shengzhe was helpless, obviously Li Dong felt that he was fast enough now.

Li Dong doesn't care about him either. Although Longhua has been established for a long time, it is no shorter than other real estate groups.

The Xu family has a lot of contacts in Jiangbei and even in East China.

But as a real estate group, it really still relies heavily on this aspect, and without the background of state-owned assets, it is even more difficult to become the leader in the country than in the distance!

As a retail enterprise, Yuanfang does not have such a big restriction, but the real estate group is different.

Seeing that Xu Shengzhe was disappointed, Li Dong said after a while: "If you really want to do it, introduce state capital."

"You mean..."

Xu Shengzhe said half a sentence, but didn't continue. He understood what Li Dongqian meant.

...

On July 25, Li Dong began to contact some investment institutions.

In Xiangjiang, there are many international investment institutions here, and internationally renowned investors almost have offices here.

Teng Xun resumed trading and plans to raise US$6.5 billion, which is not a small amount.

In 2007, Ali went public and raised about US$1.7 billion, which caused quite a stir.

At that time, Ali had too much aura.

It has created a financing record for Hong Kong stocks, created a record for financing technology stocks in the world, and even exceeded Google's financing amount.

The other party's oversubscription funds also exceeded everyone's expectations. The frozen funds exceeded 450 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the oversubscription reached more than 250 times!

On the day of listing, the closing price reached about three times the issue price, and the price-earnings ratio even reached 300 times!

Such a legend, even after Ali's delisting, disappointed countless investors, it is still difficult to cover up.

Today, Teng Xun's resumption of trading is actually a brand new rebirth.

The scale of financing is as high as 6.5 billion US dollars, which is unprecedented in the Internet field!

In the Internet field, the scale of ip financing is now the largest, and it is still Ali before, with 1.7 billion US dollars.

The second Google is not far behind Ali.

Of course, this happened a few years ago, but in the past two years, due to the financial crisis, few Internet companies went public, and the financing scale was even smaller.

Therefore, Teng Xun's resumption plan of raising 6.5 billion US dollars this time is still to resume trading in Xiangjiang. Not only Xiangjiang investors are paying attention, but the IT field all over the world has cast their attention on it.

Teng Xun's resumption of trading may be the opening of the next Internet spring.

Or, the beginning of winter?

Once Teng Xun's resumption of trading is frustrated, it is likely to affect the entire Internet field, and such a large-scale impact is still very likely.

Therefore, everyone attached great importance to Teng Xun's first road show and the on-site subscription situation.

You know, there is more than one Teng Xun, and there will be Weibo next.

Teng Xun's frustration may implicate Weibo.

For Yuanfang to let the two companies go public at almost the same time this time, many people feel that it is still a bit risky.

However, once the two companies are listed and both get good news, it will be completely different for Yuanfang's reputation and strength.

Risks and opportunities coexist, which is inevitable.

...

There are too many people paying attention to Teng Xun's resumption of trading. On the 25th, when Li Dong was still in contact with investors, IT big names from the mainland, including all over the world, rushed to Xiangjiang again.

The nascent Teng Xun Group has attracted everyone's attention and attention before it goes public.
