Chapter 751 Listing
Chapter 247 Listing
For Feng Zhenchang and the others, New York is the right way to open up the United States. "This is the United States!" Walking on the streets of Manhattan, looking at the buildings they are familiar with, New York finally let them compare the reality of the United States with the United States. Their visions of America merged.
However, for the members of Yijia's listing team, New York is a city that is not very enthusiastic. There are still many investors who come, but the reporter is the least one of the three roadshows.
Naturally, the most frequent time was in San Francisco. He Feng Yiping can be regarded as a celebrity in Silicon Valley, but today, his reputation in New York is still average. People who have read his book know his name, but the name and There are not many people who are right with him.
Moreover, for the financial capital of New York, the listing of a company of Yijia's size really does not cause much trouble.
Fortunately, Yijia itself is still very attractive to these investors. There is no need to worry about the scene that China Telecom encountered before. After the roadshow in San Francisco, it has already received 3.9 times oversubscription, and it has been successfully listed. There are any problems.
But this is not to say that the road show in New York is not important, this time it is still very important, the enthusiasm of investors is directly related to the success of the IPO.
The price range on the prospectus is US$17 to US$22. If investors are generally enthusiastic, the issue price can only be taken as the lower limit. If investors are quite enthusiastic, then the upper limit can be taken.
Between the upper and lower limits, there is a difference of $5.
Don’t underestimate the $5. Yijia issued 9.8 million American depositary receipts this time. A difference of $5 means a difference of $49 million in fundraising.
For Yijia's total share capital of 85.2 million, that means a difference of more than 400 million US dollars in market value.
Any number is worth twelve points of their efforts.
At 7:00 p.m., in the Hilton Hotel on Sixth Avenue, the team that completed the last road show, which can also be said to have successfully completed the preparations for the listing, should be sitting together for the last time.
"The hard work has finally come to an end," Xu Bin, CEO of Yijia, made a concluding speech. "Then, the last and most important thing is left now, which is related to how much money we can finally raise. , that is our issue price,"
This matter mainly depends on the opinions of the underwriters. They obviously already have an answer. UBS’s Brady said, “The underwriters’ opinions are that they will be issued at $22 per share at the highest price in the range.”
Before Xu Bin could speak, someone was already applauding.
This is easy to calculate, at $22 a share, the total market value of Yijia will be $1.8744 billion, and the management and selected outstanding employees will account for nearly 8% of the shares, which is nearly $150 million!
Converted into RMB, that is more than 1 billion!
Those venture capitalists who successfully became shareholders at the beginning of this year, such as Sequoia and KPCB, are also very happy, with $22, which is close to double their initial investment.
Just as Sequoia's Moretz expected, investing in Yijia was indeed the shortest time between investment and listing.
The time is short and the income is nearly doubled. How can they be unhappy?
Xu Bin also hesitated for a moment. He converted the shares he held and felt a little dizzy. After this calculation, on the books, he was already close to becoming a billionaire at the level of tens of millions of dollars?
Seeing Feng Yiping and the others waiting to applaud, he quickly said, "Shareholders are all applauding. It seems that there will be no problem. Then we will confirm that the issue price will be 22 US dollars!"
"Oh!" In an instant, applause and cheers rang out immediately.
…………
Although Feng Yiping has always believed that this listing will go smoothly, he is still grateful and proud that he has reached this step so smoothly, and at the same time, he is full of expectations for tomorrow.
So, he couldn't fall asleep once again.
It really has nothing to do with money.
He could have stopped pretending to be thirteen and said, "Money is just a number to me,"
This kind of excitement should be related to success.
He found that after rebirth, his self-confidence became stronger and stronger, and his desire for success became stronger and stronger.
The successful listing on Nasdaq can naturally be said to be a manifestation of success.
We must know that there are so many companies in the world, but less than 5,000 can be listed here.
Faced with such success, Feng Yiping really couldn't calm down.
"Excitement, anticipation?" Huang Jingping asked softly while holding him standing in front of the window.
"All." Feng Yiping pulled her in front of him, looking at the Central Park not far away, "However, there are also troubles. From tomorrow onwards, no matter domestic or foreign, more people will pay attention to me."
Just like what Deng Chao said in the later movie "Partners", the identity of the founder of a listed company in the United States can win the respect of even proud Americans, not to mention that he is still so young!
And in China, the most direct impact is that from this year onwards, he will be on the top 100 rich list involuntarily.
Because the previous public information disclosed the ratio of individual and institutional shareholdings, with this public information, the British boy surnamed Hu will definitely not let him go.
"The company that we have established is dignified, and the achievements made through hard work, they pay attention to it as much as they like, what's the big deal,"
As a woman behind a real rich man, she naturally also paid attention to related news. Just in October when they returned to China, Yang Bin, who ranked second on the 2001 Hundred Rich List, and Yang Rong, who ranked third, were arrested successively. Rong saw the opportunity early and fled abroad in May.
In addition to the original Mou Zhong, Liu Xiaoqing, etc., the Hundred Rich List that everyone was envious of, now has the nickname of Killing Pig List.
"Yes, sooner or later there will be such a day."
It is unrealistic to want to hide the wealth under his name all the time. Although he has adjusted the shares under his personal name and put more shares under the name of the organization, as the founder, if his personal shares are too large On the contrary, it will make some investors worry, especially because many people still come for his reputation.
…………
At 6:00 am on December 3rd, Feng Yiping, who had only slept for less than four hours, received a wake-up call from the front desk. At 6:10, there were calls coming in one after another. It seems that he did not sleep well last night. It's him.
"Eat more, I must be very busy this morning," Feng Zhenchang and the others kept adding things to the plate in front of Feng Yiping.
Grandpa and parents don't really understand the significance of today's listing, but they at least know that today is very important. Feng Yiping has come to this point, which is very remarkable.
At a quarter past seven, a group of people arrived at the Nasdaq building in Times Square. Feng Yiping's hopeless heart beat fast along the way.
Different from the classical solemnity of the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq building is very modern, and this place cannot advertise on its door like the New York Stock Exchange. Here, there is a large electronic screen on the door. I'll give you something to hang the inkjet on.
Just after taking a few photos in front of the door, the 67-year-old Chairman of the Nasdaq Board of Directors, Hardwick Simmons and several staff members went to the door to greet Feng Yiping and his party in person.
This is the second time they met, Hardwick said with a smile, "Are you ready to leave your name in the history of the US stock market? The youngest chairman of the board of directors in history,"
Feng Yiping smiled and pointed to his eyes, "I didn't sleep well yesterday,"
"Hehe, believe me, most people are like this, and I was no exception back then,"
After the security check, the entire team, including several relatives of Feng Yiping, a total of more than 30 people, lined up to take pictures in front of a green cloth. This photo will be combined with the Nasdaq building and given to Those who participated make souvenirs.
In the conference room, one of Hardwick's assistants, once again briefing everyone on the next process, "Wish us luck!" she finally said.
Next, everyone will move to the studio, and the ceremony will be held here.
One side of this studio is full of various cameras. In front of those cameras is a wall made up of fast electronic screens. From the perspective of equipment, it seems to be better than the studio hall of CCTV.
Moreover, this studio hall on the first floor is surrounded by transparent glass curtain walls. Passers-by outside can see the situation inside clearly. Citizens, don't feel bad.
However, those guys outside seemed to be used to this scene, and few of them took a look inside.
These guys, at a glorious moment in my life, can't they be friendly and supportive?
The exciting moment finally arrived. At 9 o'clock, Xu Bin—Feng Zhenchang and Mei Qiuping agreed that Xu Bin and the others should do this kind of thing by themselves, and they should not cause trouble to their son, and they were also worried about doing it by themselves. not good.
So, without Xu Bin's knowledge, he regained his right to ring the bell. At this time, he led Yijia's team and pressed the orange button—that is, to ring the bell.
As the electric bell rang, Feng Yiping's Yijia was finally officially listed on NASDAQ!
Looking at Xu Bin, who was blushing with excitement, and those Yijia executives who were very happy and excited, but couldn't let go, Feng Yiping's head was empty and dizzy, as if he was a little down, but he was always enthusiastic. Another mechanical applause.
The person in charge of the Nasdaq Marketing Department gave a welcome speech, followed by Xu Bin, who was so excited that he had to read the manuscript to finish those few sentences, but Feng Yiping didn't pay attention to these—he rubbed his hands, It was too hard, it was red, and it was still a little painful. I kept staring at the stock price of Yijia on the screen. The numbers on it were refreshed quickly, but judging from the scrolling numbers, they were all rising.
Finally, the screen freezes, next to a rising arrow is the number 32.12.
"Increased by 46%!" Jin Ling immediately calculated the result, and couldn't help but pat Feng Yiping on the shoulder heavily.
The people in the audience either jumped up, or hugged the people around them and shook them vigorously, slapping them hard on the back, "They did this, and the effect was good?" Feng Zhenchang asked Huang Jingping.
"Very good, it rose sharply at the opening, indicating that the market is very optimistic about Yijia,"
"Feng," Hardwick waved to Feng Yiping with a smile, gesturing them to go on stage, "Let's go, together," Feng Yiping helped his grandfather, and walked to the stage with his parents. The pictures were all displayed on the big screen outside the building in good time. It was the first time that Feng Yiping's family appeared on the most conspicuous big screen in the center of the world.
At 9:30, the screen displayed the sign of the successful listing of Yijia Express Hotel. Not only this big screen, but also the news of Yijia’s listing today and The picture is very flattering.
A reporter from Netêse squeezed into the center of the crowd with great effort, and handed the microphone in front of Feng Yiping, "Chairman Feng, may I ask you, as the youngest chairman of a listed company in the history of Nasdaq, and the youngest billionaire in China?" How do you feel, rich man? What is your next plan?"
"It's very simple, let Yijia's market value double as soon as possible, and in addition, lead other companies to go public as soon as possible,"
Oh, that doesn't seem like modesty at all.
However, this is really Feng Yiping's sincere words.
