Chapter 2264 Hope of IPO!

March 15th, 7:00 am.

Hong Kong is a busy city, and the pier and vegetable market start to get busy at four or five o'clock in the morning.

At 6 o'clock, there are breakfast shops, newsstands, etc. starting to do business, and adults who don't wake up at 7 o'clock, except for the rich, are lazy.

Normally, 7 o'clock is also the busiest time for breakfast shops.

Usually young people or office workers come to the store to eat a bowl of noodles or eat some steamed buns, steamed buns, fried dough sticks, etc. They come and leave in a hurry, as if they are full of war.

The elderly usually come out to drink morning tea after 8 o'clock. After all, they have nothing to do. Drinking morning tea leisurely is in line with their life rules.

I believe everyone has already known through TV and movies that people in Hong Kong in eastern Guangdong say that they drink morning tea, which means eating breakfast, but their breakfast usually has Tieguanyin, black tea or Pu’er tea in it, so we say Referred to as drinking morning tea.

Hong Kong's morning tea is inherited from the eastern Guangdong region, but it is more particular about the method and taste than the eastern Guangdong. Many old restaurants in the Republic of China came to Hong Kong because they escaped the war, so they brought rich and diverse Food culture, including dozens of famous morning tea shops.

Xiao Qi was sitting in an inconspicuous shop at this moment, drinking morning tea with Zhou Wuyao.

"Come on, Qi Shao, try their shrimp dumplings, chicken feet and hibiscus buns, which have been passed down for 100 years! In addition, the stocking milk tea and toast are also good." Zhou Wuyao greeted Xiao Qi enthusiastically.

The table is now full of delicious things.

Each portion is in a small cage, and the appearance alone is very good-looking, and the scent is mixed with the nostrils, making Xiao Qi, who is used to eating delicious food, all of a sudden whet the appetite.

"Not bad……"

While eating and drinking, Xiao Qi admired the taste, and he ate more than half of it without knowing it.

Compared with Xiao Qi's good appetite, Zhou Wuyao's appetite is average, he stopped his chopsticks after only eating a few baskets, and started drinking black tea.

But looking at the smile on Zhou Wuyao's face, one can tell that he is in a very good mood.

No wonder.

There is news from the capital. Fairy Company is preparing to list a subsidiary in Hong Kong. How can this not make Zhou Wuyao, the executive president of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, who is in the midst of the financial turmoil and battered, happy?

Hong Kong does not have any real economic support.

Another name for Financial Freeport. That is a financial market built entirely on speculation, and Hong Kong's financial market has no way of controlling its own destiny.

It's very simple, for example, Huaguolianshu is listed in Hong Kong, yes, but if Huaguolianshu's business in the mainland is blocked, then it will be in trouble directly-there is no Hong Kong people to intervene from the beginning to the end, so they It can only be accepted passively. There is no way to influence the stock market by yourself.

Americans are different.

The stock market, which fell so painfully in the second half of 2008, basically recovered its vitality in 2011 under their abrupt pull, and then directly came a slow bull market for two or three years - according to Xiao Qi's current speculation , I am afraid that the US stock market will not be bad in 2014.

Then again.

If it is a company listed in Hong Kong, Hong Kong people can always enjoy rich returns and "grow with it", and they will not think there is anything wrong with being out of control.

But the problem is that there will never be a stock that only rises but never falls in this world. There are no companies that have thrived for thousands of years, and there are very few century-old stores.

Li Chaoren's Changjiang Industrial is very good, right?

The stock has been rising, not to mention, and dividends are paid every year. Shareholders are happy to smile.

But many people don't know that when the Hong Kong real estate bubble collapsed in the 1980s, the Cheung Kong Industrial Group. It almost fell apart.

If Li Chaoren hadn't made a lot of profits in loading and unloading goods at the port to subsidize Cheung Kong every year, everyone would not have seen today's Hong Kong Big Mac.

Therefore, Hong Kong people have never encountered such a good stock so far.

But Zhou Wuyao believed that maybe the Fairy Guardian Company that Xiao Qi was planning to list was a legendary stock that started like this.

Since its launch on January 16, Fairy Guardian has grown by leaps and bounds, and the number of users has soared to 300 million within a month.

But Fairy Guardian is only free for one month, and will be charged from the second month onwards. The base price in the United States is 12 US dollars a year, and the 20% discount in Huaguo is 70 US dollars. The most expensive Germany and Singapore are 20 US dollars.

Many people who make software feel that free products are the mainstream. If there is a fee, many customers will definitely leave and switch to another free product of the same category—whether it is Europe, America, Asia, Oceania, Africa, etc. Wait, users are all the same idea of ​​saving.

But starting from February 16, the performance of Fairy Guardian has been surprising.

The number of users who paid fees on the first day directly exceeded 30 million, and then the number of active users dropped to 250 million at the same time, a decrease of 50 million in one breath.

But people can't say anything about this achievement. After all, 30 million paying users are enough to offset the losses of all leaving users.

Don't compare with numbers. Any software that can get 30 million users on the first day of charging is definitely very popular.

On the 17th, another 20 million paid users were added. On the 18th, the number of paid users has exceeded 60 million!

As the users who used the trial version successively expired free of charge, as of March 15th, exactly two months later, paid users have steadily reached the 100 million mark again, and with an average of more than 500 million users per day. million user base has increased.

The current number of smart electronic users, including mobile phone and tablet users, has exceeded 500 million. With the promotion and technology update of major manufacturers, more users are attracted to use smart electronic products.

The research and analysis of Silicon Valley in the United States shows that in 2009, the number of users using smart electronic products can exceed 800 million, in 2010 next year it will exceed 1.5 billion, and in 2011 it will reach 2 billion at the latest!

Under such good market expectations, Fairy Guardian, which has a strong growth momentum, certainly has a broader prospect.

To put it bluntly, in the field of smart electronics, Fairy Guardian is equivalent to the anti-virus software of Kaspersky and other seven or eight companies in the computer field. Moreover, it is unique, and there is no software that competes with it.

However, looking at the scenery of Fairy Guardian, I heard that Kaspersky and other companies have developed anti-virus software for mobile terminals, and I think the future market will be full of competition.

But the preconceived advantage is too powerful. The most conservative UBS Securities estimates that Fairy Guardian should at least occupy more than 50% of the market share, and the future users will at least exceed 1 billion!

Not to mention 1 billion users, but 500 million users, Fairy Guardian's annual revenue can exceed 6 billion US dollars, excluding development and maintenance, etc., the profit can exceed at least 2 billion US dollars!

Therefore, according to the law that the valuation is 8-15 times the expected revenue for one year, Goldman Sachs has now valued Fairy Guardian at 12 billion US dollars, which is already relatively underestimated.

External investment banks and analysis agencies have a lot of evaluations and valuations for the various product sub-sectors of Xiannv Company, but now that people know Xiao Qi's character, they understand that most of these valuations are false. Xiao Qi would never put it on the market at all, he would only firmly control it in his hands, and only share it with some co-rental partners.

Only this Fairy Guardian is different from other products of Fairy Company from the very beginning.

First of all, on the day when Fairy Guardian announced its launch, it moved out of the Fairy Lab at the Fairy Company headquarters by itself, and occupied an 18-story building in Xiapingyuan by itself.

Then some organizations also revealed that Fairy Guardian's financial revenue and expenditure, personnel management, etc. are all operated independently and have no contact with the fairy company headquarters.

Of course, these are not enough to explain how different Fairy Guardians are, but the next item has really lifted the spirits of all investment institutions and the stock market.

That is, the day before Fairy Guardian charges, Xiao Qi announced at the Fairy Company's mid-level and high-level meeting that the shares of Fairy Guardian will be used as a loyalty reward for employees. Shares go down.

In principle, except for the remaining 40% of the shares, Fairy Company will only retain 30% of the shares, and the remaining 30% will be rewarded to the employees of various departments and branches of Fairy Company.

This suddenly caused a violent shock!

Keep 40% unchanged?

What a concept! ?

It is completely the concept of preparing for an IPO listing!

As we all know, if a company wants to go public in an IPO, the underwriter must hold enough shares in order to push the company to the market.

Although the underwriters have to eat some original shares, these rules have existed from the beginning. The more benefits you give, the harder the underwriters will help you push up the IPO price and the company's market value. Escort, let the company make money from the moment it goes public.

For example, when Facebook first went public, if the underwriter Goldman Sachs hadn't tried their best to protect them, they would have broken the stock on the same day-the stock price fell below the issue price, which would be very embarrassing!

So far, no matter whether it is Citibank, Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Credit Suisse, Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan Chase, Ono Securities, Royal Bank of Scotland... and other giants, no one has ever been able to get the IPO of Fairy Company.

Not to mention the behemoth of Fairy Company as a whole, even any of its branches, there is no way to get it.

Now that there is such a possible opportunity suddenly, why not make everyone ecstatic? (to be continued ~^~)
