Chapter 1599: Heroes Meeting
Sunday, July 26.
The sky is clear.
Compared with some areas in the mainland, the temperature is as high as 30 or even 40 degrees at this time, but the temperature in Xiangjiang is still more suitable, generally not exceeding 30 degrees.
However, the humidity in Xiangjiang is a bit heavy, and northerners may not be able to get used to it.
...
Teng Xun's promotion meeting, or road show, was scheduled for 12:30 noon.
On Xiangjiang's side, the afternoon is the time to talk about business.
The time is set earlier, and after work is done, it is just time to drink afternoon tea, so 12:30 is rarely held at this time in the mainland, but it is commonplace in Xiangjiang.
Morning.
The Intercontinental Hotel is not too far from the Peninsula Hotel.
Zhang Zidong looked at Ma Huateng and couldn't help but said, "Are you really going to attend?"
Ma Huateng smiled and said: "Why not? I still hold 100 million shares of Teng Xun. This is not a small amount, and it is even considered one of the major shareholders. How can I feel at ease if I don't go and see?"
"But……"
Zhang Zidong hesitated to speak, as a loser, is it appropriate to go at this time?
Ma Huateng smiled again: "Don't worry, I'm not here to make trouble, I just want to see the difference between Teng Xun in his hands and mine."
Zhang Zidong frowned and said, "You think I'm worried about you making trouble?
pny, the reason why I still stay at Teng Xun is not because of my status or anything else, but because I don't want to part with it.
If you think I'm worried about these..."
Ma Huateng waved his hands and said with a smile: "Don't think too much, I actually support you staying in Teng Xun.
In addition, you are actually under more pressure than I am.
I patted my ass, took the money and left. On your side, you not only have to take care of those old people, but also bear the pressure from the far side.
This kind of pressure should have been borne by me, but I really didn't want to work with Li Dong, so I chose to escape.
You can stay, to be honest, beyond my expectations, I can understand everything you have undertaken.
I have no other intentions. This time, I really just want to have a look. I have greeted Li Dong in advance, and he has no objection. If he doesn't want to, I won't come. "
Zhang Zidong sighed softly: "Whether Li Dong is willing or not is not my point, the point is that you can bear this kind of pressure and gaze, then I have no objection."
"I think I can do it." Ma Huateng said with a smile: "There are always setbacks in life, as long as you don't make the same mistakes again and learn from the setbacks, then everything is worth it.
Although Li Dong is young, he has to say that there are still some places worth learning.
I'm learning all of this right now.
This time Tencent resumed trading, to be honest, I feel a little guilty.
The pricing range is as high as 50 Hong Kong dollars, and the financing scale is 50 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is the first time in the world for Internet companies.
Once successful, Teng Xun will definitely attract the attention of the world, and even IT companies all over the world will see the light.
It is very meaningful. As one of the founders of Teng Xun, even though I have left, I still hope to see Teng Xun come to this point and leave an indelible mark in the history of the Internet.
As for the first roadshow, it is of great importance, and it may even affect the subsequent resumption plan. "
Once the first road show is frustrated, the trouble will be big.
No matter how well Teng Xun does in the follow-up, it will be greatly affected.
What's more, the response to the first road show was mediocre, and you want to do better in the future?
Hearing what Ma Huateng said, Zhang Zidong nodded and said, "Actually, I'm just like you, I'm also a little worried.
The financing of 50 billion Hong Kong dollars this time is indeed a bit much.
In fact, according to my idea, it is enough to issue about half of the shares this time. If the follow-up market is good, we can continue to issue additional shares.
But now, Li Dongfei wants to issue 1 billion shares to raise so much money. Although the Hong Kong stock market claims to be connected to the world, the market size of the Hong Kong stock market is here..."
Ma Huateng frowned slightly and said: "The Hong Kong stock market currently has 300 million shares.
It is planned to raise 15 billion Hong Kong dollars, or about 2 billion U.S. dollars, and Hong Kong stocks can still eat it. "
"I hope so."
Zhang Zidong was still a little worried, 2 billion dollars is easy to say, but in fact it is not that simple.
This is the first roadshow and the only roadshow in Xiangjiang.
Today, the on-site subscription amount must reach at least 500 million US dollars, so that everyone can feel a little more at ease.
If it is less than 500 million US dollars, then the follow-up will be in big trouble.
In fact, for the total financing amount of 6.5 billion US dollars, 500 million US dollars is not enough!
For the first roadshow, if you really want to reach 10 times the subscription amount, you must not lower than the subscription amount of 1 billion US dollars on the spot. Otherwise, even if there are continued subscriptions in the follow-up, it will not exceed the spot by too much.
The two said a few words, and Zhang Zidong said again: "Then I have to go back and prepare. Are you coming with me, or..."
Ma Huateng smiled and said: "You go to work first, I have to go with other people.
This time, many people came.
Not to mention the old faces of Huaxia, many IT elites from other countries also came.
Anyway, I am also a shareholder of Teng Xun. Since Li Dong cannot receive him, I will help him receive him. "
"I hope it's not for a joke."
"No, the global financial crisis has not yet passed, and many IT companies have actually lost confidence.
They eagerly hope that a myth will appear in the Internet industry to rekindle their confidence.
In fact, everyone is very contradictory right now. On the one hand, they hope that Yuanfang can set an example. On the other hand, they don’t really want to see Yuanfang continue to grow.
It's not just them, I'm also like this, Li Dong, sometimes, really makes people love and hate. "
Ma Huateng sighed with emotion, shook his head and stopped talking.
And Zhang Zidong, as Teng Xun's incumbent t, did have a lot of work to do in this road show, so he didn't stay here for a long time, and soon left the hotel and went to the peninsula.
...
Ma Huateng is here, Ma Yun is here, and the Internet giants in the mainland, except those who really can't leave, are here today.
In fact, the first roadshow is more worthy of attention than the day of listing.
Whether the market is good or bad, in many cases, it can be seen at the first roadshow.
If it is sought after by investors on the spot and the IPO is looted, then the follow-up will not be too bad.
But the day was deserted, and the possibility of an IPO explosion was very low, and the underwriters would inevitably lower the issue price.
Not only Internet giants, but also some industrial giants have come.
Several real estate giants that are about to go public, Evergrande, Longfor, Longhua...
These people rushed over one after another.
Their company is about to start a promotion meeting. At this time, Teng Xun's setback may affect the entire Hong Kong stock market, so they have to keep an eye on it.
Once things don't go well, delaying the listing is not out of the question.
...
at the same time.
Peninsula Hotel.
In Li Dong's suite, the reception area was full of people at the moment.
Others are busy preparing materials, making phone calls and making phone calls.
Seeing Li Dong standing on the balcony looking at the sea view, Bai Su hurried forward and said, "President Li, the speech..."
"Leave it there first, I'll look at it later."
"Okay, and there's news from the Morgan Stanley just now. There are quite a few people here this time, but they still suggest lowering the price..."
"Don't worry about them, we'll do ours. Well, you can handle these things yourself. Let me be quiet for a while. When I'm done with work, you go first, and I'll go after dinner."
"Well, then I'll make arrangements first."
Bai Su didn't bother him anymore, and got busy with the others after finishing speaking.
Li Dong stood in front of the window, looking at the Victoria Harbor outside, thought for a while and dialed Shen Qian's number.
When the call was connected, Li Dong said with a smile on his face: "My son is not naughty today, is he?"
"..."
Shen Qian was silent for a while, then suddenly snorted: "Now you know how to ask the child when you open your mouth, don't you know how to care about me?"
Li Dong couldn't laugh or cry and said: "I'm still eating dry vinegar."
"Of course I'm jealous, who told you to keep asking."
Shen Qian also laughed, and then said: "Are you nervous?"
As Li Dong's wife, she actually knew Li Dong well, and knew that Li Dong should be a little nervous at this time, even though it was a bit unbelievable.
Li Dong exhaled, and said softly: "A little bit.
In fact, it was not because of Teng Xun's nervousness, but that Teng Xun's resumption of the deal was related to a series of subsequent plans.
Once the resumption of trading fails, all follow-up plans will be disrupted.
The listing of Weibo will inevitably be affected.
The it industry will also suffer heavy losses.
In this way, a chain reaction is produced, and my follow-up layout is not so smooth.
Once a myth is broken, it is no longer a myth.
At that time, where will I get the money to expand. "
"Don't worry, it will be fine!"
Shen Qian said firmly, and then said: "I won't go today, but I asked Bai Su to live broadcast the live broadcast for me, and my children and I will cheer for you at home.
Also, I asked my parents to come too.
Let us cheer for you together, no matter success or failure, with us, all difficulties will not be difficult.
No matter how troublesome it is, it is just a lost opportunity to expand. Maybe your plan will never be implemented, but at least I know that my lover was only one step away from becoming the king of this world! "
"Cough cough cough..."
Li Dong was choked, these words sound familiar.
I was once a king?
What's next?
Anyway, it’s not a good word!
After being told by Shen Qian, he was not so nervous, and he calmed down for a while before he smiled and said: "Well, then let Bai Su's live broadcast camera be set up better, and let our family see today, their son, husband , how powerful my father is!
It's just a group of people who are stupid and have a lot of money. It's so simple to fool them.
It’s a good day to fool around. Before the listing, I adjusted the price to 60 Hong Kong dollars, earning him an extra 10 billion Hong Kong dollars! "
"Well, I will support you even if it is adjusted to 100 Hong Kong dollars!"
Li Dong: "..."
The communication between the couple ended here, and Li Dong directly ignored Shen Qian's 100 Hong Kong dollars.
I really think that other people are stupid and have a lot of money!
These investors are shrewd like monkeys, 60 Hong Kong dollars is a joke, 100 Hong Kong dollars, then wait for the resumption of trading to fail.
...
12 noon sharp.
Peninsula Hotel multifunctional conference hall.
There are still 30 minutes before the Teng Xun promotion meeting will start. At this moment, some investors are arriving one after another.
Teng Xun's existing shareholders have arrived ahead of schedule.
ih, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, CICC, Bank of China, ICBC...
The organization that Teng Xun holds shares in alone has made many entrepreneurs who have followed suit envious.
With the participation of so many well-known international investment banks, if Li Dongxin was not too dark, the price reached 50 Hong Kong dollars, which is a little lower, so there is no need to worry about it.
With these institutions taking the blame, their influence alone is enough to make Teng Xun favored by investors.
In addition to these institutions, well-known investment banks such as Temasek, KKR, Bain, Sequoia, idg... have also come here one after another.
Some local private equity funds in Hong Kong, representatives of tycoons, and investors from all over the world have also arrived one after another.
When Ma Huateng and Ma Yun walked to the door, everyone stopped suddenly. Not far away, there was another entrance, and many foreigners with big noses walked in at this time.
As giants in the IT industry, they don't need to pay attention to others, but they absolutely must pay attention to giants in the same industry.
After seeing the faces of those people clearly, Li Yanhong, who was walking low-key on the side of the crowd, said in a low voice: "egwhitan, eBay's ex-e, isn't she planning to run for governor and enter an official career? Why is she here?"
Compared with others, Li Yanhong is actually more familiar with these people.
On the one hand, he started his business in the United States, and Baidu was listed in the United States, so he is familiar with these people.
Meg Whitman has a great reputation internationally. After taking charge of eBay, she has repeatedly set new highs. He is naturally familiar with it.
He is no stranger, and neither is Ma Yun.
It can even be said that Ma Yun is more familiar with Li Yanhong than Li Yanhong.
After all, the rise of Dibao back then was based on the corpse of eBay, and eBay was no longer called eBay at that time, but eBay eBay.
In 2002, eBay acquired eBay, and in 2005 Dabao defeated the other party. In fact, it was Ma Yun who stopped the expansion of foreign e-commerce companies in China.
The failure of Meg's layout in China can also be said to be caused by Ma Yun.
Although the two have never dealt with each other, it doesn't mean they don't know each other.
Even though Ma Yun was not well-known at this time, and he was even considered an unknown person in the world, but when Ma Yun and the others saw those people on the opposite side, the people on the other side also saw them.
Walking among the crowd, Meg's aura was no weaker than anyone else's. Meg, who had just passed 50, looked extremely capable.
The first thing she saw was Ma Yun here. Although there was a distance between the two sides and they hadn't greeted for a while, Meg still stared at Ma Yun with interested eyes.
Ma Huateng, who seldom joked, joked in a low voice at this time: "Old Ma, a serious and strong woman, seems to be very interested in you, do you want to challenge me?"
The corner of Ma Yun's mouth twitched, too lazy to answer the words, and said in a low voice: "Don't just look at women, have you seen it?
ark from faebk, jakedey from twitter, aazn from aazn... isn't that guy jeffbezs? "
Li Yanhong laughed and said: "No, it's a vice president of Amazon, he looks familiar, but I can't remember the name.
Good guy, they are all opponents!
The two major rivals of Weibo are coming, the two major rivals of Yuanfang Mall are coming, and the world-renowned Internet companies are almost wiped out!
Yang Zhiyuan seems to be here too?
Now the people from Google are missing. Once the people from Google arrive, what kind of promotion meeting will be held? Just hold the World Internet Conference! "
Ma Yun said with a smile: "Say, do you wait to see the joke, or come and see the opponent in advance?"
"Whatever, it's Li Dong's business anyway." Li Yanhong said subconsciously, then suddenly looked at Ma Yun and said, "Are you here for a joke, or what?"
After asking this question, Ma Yun ignored him again, but walked towards the group of people opposite.
Who said this is Li Dong's opponent?
This is also Ma Yun's opponent!
These guys are sure that they will lose?
I defeated Yuanfang Mall by myself, and the competitors I will face next time are these people in front of me. Get to know them in advance, so it will be more convenient in the future.
Ma Yun walked over, and other people also followed and walked to the opposite side. Similarly, the group of people on the opposite side also walked this way.
Ma Yun and his group, except for Li Dong's absence, represent the Huaxia IT field.
They walked in front, but Ding Lei, who was at the end of the crowd, provoked Cao Guowei and said, "Look, everyone is ignoring you. Isn't Sina Weibo good? It's good to go up and learn from it..."
Cao Guowei said angrily: "Go raise your pigs, what trouble is there!"
As soon as these words came out, the people around him burst into laughter...
