Chapter 1816 Going to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange
After Li Mu and his party arrived in Hong Kong by special plane, more than 100 executives from Muye Technology and Taobao.com took a chartered flight from Yanjing to Hong Kong on the second day, which is today.
In addition to the executives of Muye Technology and Taobao.com, Chen Wan also arranged the work at hand and took a plane from Xiangdu to Hong Kong alone.
Du Wei and her parents also arrived in Hong Kong by plane on the 30th, ready to participate in the bell ringing ceremony.
The listing of Muye Technology is a milestone event for Li Mu since her entrepreneurship. Although she is very busy with her work, she is still reluctant to miss this opportunity to witness history.
In addition, she also hoped that when Li Mu reached another peak in his life, she would silently stand by his side and accompany him, watching his new king's coronation.
Since the IPO of Makino Technology is the largest IPO in the world with the largest fundraising scale and the highest market value, the eyes of the world are focused on Hong Kong, the Oriental Pearl.
On December 1, Li Mu set off from the hotel where he stayed, and a mighty motorcade headed to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
Along the way, many reporters and citizens greeted him.
This is the highlight of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange since its establishment. The $450 billion Internet unicorn will be listed here, and it will become the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and even the world's most valuable company.
The media paid great attention to this IPO, and many media even speculated how much the stock price of Muye Technology could soar on the first day of its listing.
However, Li Mu no longer pays attention to the stock price.
Because no matter how high or low the stock price is, in the next one or two years, the 10% of the tradable shares in the stock market will not have any more shares, because other shareholders' equity will be locked, and neither cash nor pledge is allowed.
In other words, the 10% of the shares become tradable shares, which are left to the shareholders for their own entertainment, rising and falling, which has little to do with Muye Technology itself and shareholders of Muye Technology.
Only when their shares are gradually close to reducing their holdings will the stock price actually affect their cash-out limit.
Otherwise, even if the stock price doubles today, it will be useless. Those who have subscribed for the stock in advance will benefit from the fund and customers. Makino Technology has already received 45 billion US dollars, so it will not have much impact.
However, there is one indicator that will be affected by today's stock price.
That is Li Mu's personal worth.
He now holds almost 70% of the shares of Muye Technology. The market value of Muye Technology is 450 billion. The value he got from Muye Technology alone has exceeded 300 billion US dollars, making him the richest man in the world.
If you add his personal holdings in other companies, as well as his personal assets and cash, the total market value can be more than 500 billion US dollars.
Before that, Bill Gates, the number one richest person, was worth only $40 billion.
In other words, Li Mu alone is worth ten times as much as Bill Gates, more than the entire wealth list from second to 20th combined.
If the stock price of Muye Technology can rise by 50% today, then Li Mu's worth in Muye Technology will rise from US$320 billion to US$480 billion directly. In that case, his worth will increase by another US$160 billion, which can lift the rich list from No. 1. Second place, to the thirtieth place, the combined wealth has gone down.
At 8:30, Li Mu arrived at the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on time.
The head of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and several executives were already waiting outside the gate.
Li Mu got out of the car, and after chatting with a few people, the other party immediately invited Li Mu and his party into the VIP lounge, and waited for the bell ringing ceremony at nine o'clock.
According to the predetermined process, the person in charge of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange will start the speech first, and then Li Mu will come to the stage to give a short speech, and the bronze bell will be sounded on time at 9:30.
Sitting in the VIP lounge, Li's father and Li's mother rubbed their hands nervously. For them, today was simply a dream that they didn't dare to think about, so both of them were in a dream and couldn't recover.
Although many friends came today, Li Mu still stayed by his parents' side. Seeing that his parents were a little nervous, he smiled and said with relief: "Dad, Mom, just stand by my side later, don't be too nervous."
Dad Li wiped his sweat and said, "I feel very nervous just thinking about this. How can a company be worth hundreds of billions of dollars, which is trillions of yuan... It's scary to say it..."
Li Mu said with a smile: "The market value is just a figure derived from the stock price, and it doesn't mean that your son really has so much money. In fact, the total market value of the stocks that are circulated in the market is 45 billion. "
Li Ma couldn't help but say: "This is already a lot, too much to scare people to death..."
Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "Mom, entrepreneurship is like this, you either die fast, or you become fast, and even more so when you grow bigger, big companies either climb to the altar or fall into hell, I'm just lucky and successful. The one who climbed to the altar."
Li Ma nodded lightly and said jokingly: "My son is really blessed by gods to have today, and I don't know how good the feng shui of your old Li family's ancestral tomb is, it's just smoke..."
Dad Li smiled and said, "Don't tell me, since my son succeeded in starting a business, countless people went to see the Li family's ancestral tomb, just to study and study, what is the good feng shui of the Li family's ancestral tomb..."
The family of three chatted for a while, and the parents' nervousness eased a lot. At this time, the door of the lounge opened, and two old acquaintances walked in side by side.
Li Mu didn't expect that it was Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang who came.
Since Mei Yanfang's early cancer surgery was successfully completed, she and Zhang Guorong have basically retired from the entertainment industry, and in order to avoid the chaotic and cruel Hong Kong entertainment industry, the two simply settled in the United States for a long time, occasionally I will also go to the mainland to see it, but Hong Kong has never been back almost once.
Zhang Guorong has always been very disappointed in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, especially in recent years, he has been attacked and humiliated by all kinds of fake news fabricated by unscrupulous media in Hong Kong, so he has some thoughts of avoiding this place. .
Mei Yanfang's views are similar to his. After the cancer was diagnosed, her mentality has also changed a lot. She lost her previous motivation to work hard, and her family of origin has always made her troublesome, so she also I am happy to live a peaceful and peaceful life in the distant United States.
Li Mu really didn't expect the two of them to appear here, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Brother, Aunt Mei, why are you two here?"
Zhang Guorong smiled and said: "We heard that your company was going to be listed before, and we were waiting for you to ring the bell in the United States, but the last time you came to ring the bell for Google, we didn't come to join us, and we wanted to wait for your company to come to the United States. Ringing the bell, I didn't expect you to be listed in Hong Kong again, so Aunt Mei and I hurried over."
Mei Yanfang also smiled and said, "When I saw the news, I went to see Leslie. We both felt that your company rang the bell, and we had to come to support whatever we said, so we quickly bought a plane ticket and came back!"
