Chapter 1182: The World-Renowned Gorilla

The financing reception is over, and the next step is the bargaining stage.

Of course, for capital institutions, this is a bargaining stage, but for Yuanfang Weibo, money is really not the most important thing.

Li Dong tossed about for a while before, saying that it was all for money, that must not be accurate.

In fact, before these institutions came, the distant side had a rough goal.

For the second round of financing, the purpose of Weibo is to open up the international market, as long as the money is enough for the second round of expansion, Li Dong is not prepared to cash out dividends at this time.

Since in order to open up the international market, some small institutions are naturally not considered in the distance.

On the 30th, Li Dong personally selected a few of the agencies that offered quotations.

The old and beautiful Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are both on the list, and Sequoia and idg have priority and are also on the list.

Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, and Salomon Smith Barney are also included in the list.

As for the state-owned assets, Li Dong thought twice and decided to include the Bank of China. If there is no state-owned assets in the second round of financing, it is easy to be attacked.

So far, these eight institutions have become the main investment institutions of the second round of financing.

In addition, Li Dong hesitated for a long time, and finally included Nomura Securities in the ranks.

In order to open up the Japanese market in the future, Li Dong had to make a choice. Now that he rejects Japanese investment, it may be more difficult for Yuanfang to enter Japan because of the urgency of the islanders.

9 institutions, with a total financing amount of up to 600 million US dollars.

Added 50 million shares of share capital, accounting for 1923% of the total shares.

After the financing, the valuation of Weibo reached a new high, breaking through 3 billion US dollars, reaching a total valuation of 31.2 billion US dollars!

As for Li Dong personally, excluding option shares, the total share capital is 260 million shares, and Li Dong owns 160 million shares.

Individuals account for 6154% of the shares. Based on the current valuation, these shares are worth a total of 19.2 billion US dollars.

At this time, the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar is a little over 68, which is about 13 billion when converted into RMB.

...

On November 1st, major institutions and Weibo formally signed an agreement, and the two parties jointly held a press conference.

As soon as the news came out, it shocked both at home and abroad!

Weibo, which has been online for a little over a year, has a valuation of more than 3 billion US dollars!

And Li Dong, on the personal side, raked in 13 billion yuan in the Weibo project.

As for how much Li Dong invested, the outside world speculates that it is around 500 million, even if it is higher, it will not exceed 1 billion.

In other words, it took Li Dong more than a year to earn more than 12 billion yuan just on the Weibo project!

This is still a period of financial crisis, and the wealth of other rich people is shrinking, but Li Dong's wealth is growing in an astonishing way.

It is speculated that Li Dong's personal wealth may have reached 100 billion yuan.

When the Hurun List was released, Weibo did not account for too much of it, and Li Dong's wealth was seriously underestimated.

People like Hurun are not capital institutions after all, and some of the valuations given by them are not very accurate.

No one expected that after the second round of financing, Weibo would exceed US$3 billion. You must know that half a year ago, Weibo’s valuation was less than US$1.5 billion.

In more than half a year, the growth rate has nearly doubled, which is unimaginable!

Since Weibo is worth so much money, what about Yuanfang Mall?

what about pp?

What about Wanka?

There are other industries, how much should they be worth?

PP and Wanka, as well as other industries of Yuanfang Science and Technology, add up, not too much, and it is more than enough to top a Weibo.

Even if it is 3 billion US dollars, that is incredible.

However, Yuanfang Technology has almost no debts, because the money is moved from other industries, and the debts are also included in other industries.

Weibo Li Dong owns nearly 2 billion U.S. dollars in personal shares, plus other things in Yuanfang Technology, the total value is about 5 billion U.S. dollars.

As for supermarkets and shopping malls, they also made statistics when they exchanged shares with Longhua.

The total assets are about 60 billion or more, and the net assets are close to 40 billion yuan.

Longhua's share exchange is not counted, and the value is offset. Sun Tao's shareholding ratio is very low, about 1 billion yuan.

And Li Dong's personal shareholding capital is as high as 39 billion yuan again, plus the previous 5 billion US dollars, this is more than 73 billion yuan.

In addition to these, there are many industries in the distance.

Yuanfang Logistics, Dongyu Real Estate, and Yuanfang Airlines, among the three, Yuanfang Airlines has zero debt, but just allocated 2 billion yuan, not counting any value-added, that is 2 billion yuan.

Yuanfang Logistics and Dongyu Real Estate, no matter how high their debts are, they still have more than 30 billion yuan.

After careful calculation, Li Dong's personal wealth has reached more than 100 billion!

And how long has it been since the release of the Hurun List?

The Hurun studio did underestimate Li Dong before, and the 78 billion given was not at all credible.

The China Forbes Rich List was originally planned to be released on October 30. In view of this, the release time was hastily changed.

Just when the outside world was talking about it, on November 1st, the Forbes China Rich List was released.

Li Dong once again topped the list, and the double list is recognized as the first!

In the past, the Forbes and Hurun lists often reversed. Many of the richest people on the Hurun list sometimes failed to make the top ten on the Forbes list.

This time, the two sides finally unified their opinions.

Li Dong is the veritable No. 1, and Forbes made timely changes.

When the list was released, Li Dong personally

The net worth of a person is 108 billion, which is 30 billion higher than the Hurun list a month ago!

In the past, the Forbes China List liked to greatly shrink the wealth of the richest people on the Hurun List.

But this time, Li Dong became an exception, and his net worth skyrocketed a lot.

On the contrary, Lao Huang, whose net worth was as high as 40 billion before, has dropped a bit in this statistics, and his ranking has dropped to the third place. His net worth is only more than 18 billion, which is a big difference.

Ranked second is Liu Yongxin, the feed king previously ranked in the Hurun List, with a net worth of over 20 billion.

Someone did the math. From Li Dong down, the second place to the eighth place is equivalent to the total wealth of Li Dong.

Many people can hardly imagine that Li Dong, who just entered the top ten last year, will make such a leap this year.

It is not enough to be ranked first, the personal wealth is equivalent to the sum of the wealth of 7 of the top ten!

108 billion RMB, converted into US dollars, is about 16 billion US dollars.

According to the Forbes Global Rich List released in March 2008, Li Dongneng ranks around 40.

Previously the richest man in China, Lao Li of Xiangjiang, who was also the richest man in Asia, ranked 11th in the world at that time, with a personal wealth of 26.5 billion US dollars.

Li Dong, it seems that he is not too far away.

With the growth rate of this guy's wealth, is it possible that he is going to challenge Lao Li's status next year, or simply go black to the end and challenge the status of the world's top ten richest people?

With the release of the list, Li Dong also became Forbes' youngest self-made rich man.

In fact, as early as March, Li Dong was.

At that time, although he was not as famous as he is now, and he was not listed as the richest man in China, he was also on the list with a net worth of 5 billion US dollars.

But at that time, it was not Li Dong who paid the most attention, but Zuckerberg, the founder of faebook.

Because at that time Li Dong's fame was only limited to domestic, while Zuckerberg was already famous at home and abroad, the 23-year-old Li Dong did not receive much attention, but the 24-year-old Zuckerberg with a net worth of 2 billion US dollars He has gained more attention than Li Dong.

Of course, that was before.

In the later period, with Li Dong’s acquisition of all the businesses of Carrefour Huaxia, Weibo’s first round of financing, the launch of the international version of Weibo, and this second round of financing, his reputation surpassed that of Zuckerberg.

For Chinese entrepreneurs, if they want to become famous internationally, Internet giants have more advantages.

Otherwise, no matter how much wealth there is, foreigners generally don't care too much about it.

Li Dong is most famous at the moment, not his supermarket, Wanka, or anything else, but Weibo, a social networking site.

Zuckerberg, who is also a social networking site, is often compared with Li Dong at this time.

The two are very similar, both are young people, one is 23 and the other is 24.

Both are self-made billionaires!

Both are internationally famous for their social networking sites!

Of course, there is one more thing, these two young and outrageous rich men are both bachelors.

Although there were rumors that both of them had girlfriends, having a girlfriend and getting married were not the same concept. Two unmarried young rich men instantly became the two biggest diamond kings in the world.

Relatively speaking, Li Dong is more famous at the moment. After all, his personal wealth is already 8 times that of Zuckerberg.

In terms of influence, after the international version of Weibo was launched, Li Dong was no less famous than anyone else.

Moreover, Li Dong still has a large number of industries in China. There is no doubt that Li Dong at this moment is the richest, most beautiful, and most accomplished young man in the world.

...

The release of the Forbes rich list, coupled with the successful financing of Weibo.

Let Li Dong become famous again, and he is still famous at home and abroad.

Among them, there is the role of wealth and the promotion of major investment banks.

Many major international investment banks have participated this time. They need Li Dong to make a name for himself. It is useless to limit him to China. What they want is to make a name for the world.

Zuckerberg has been reported and promoted again and again, is it really because his achievements are so great that no one can surpass them?

That's not true, and it is also inseparable from the operation of capital institutions.

After all, capital institutions have financed your company, so naturally they hope that your company will be recognized by the whole world, and it is only recognized in one place, how can it be possible to maximize the benefits.

Only when the whole world knows you, can it be operated better.

Celebrities need hype and publicity, entrepreneurs also need it, and companies also need it.

It is the consensus of all capital institutions to publicize Li Dong's packaging, and Li Dong himself has also acquiesced.

Greater fame, especially in the world, is of great help to some of his subsequent operations.

In many cases, fame can be eaten as food.

In the past, Li Dong went to Europe and America, how many people knew him?

How many people in the local government will care about him?

But now, if Li Dong goes again, those are definitely two completely different concepts. The world's most outstanding young entrepreneur, just by this name, can fool a large group of people.

...

Just entering November, almost all the media in China reported on Li Dong.

Some foreign media also frequently appear Li Dong's name.

Of course, Li Dong is Chinese, and the translation ability of foreigners is also worrying. Titan Lee is Li Dong's name in foreign language reports.

When Li Dong saw such a title in some foreign language reports, he didn't realize it for a long time. Is this really him?

return

It was Bai Su who explained with a smile: "Titan is the English word for Titan, of course, it can also be translated as giant.

Wasn’t your nickname circulated on the Internet before? Foreigners probably saw this and translated it. After all, it’s more affectionate to call you this way.

Giant Li, probably was their idea. "

Li Dong's face was full of black lines, and he said angrily: "Master Tai Tan!"

As soon as he thought of this word, he couldn't help but think of the gorilla. Anyway, in his mind, there was not much difference between the titan and the gorilla.

Maybe I have to pat my chest muscles and shout a few words, the more I think about it, the more goosebumps I get.

Li Dong is convinced now. They say that Chinese people are very powerful in nicknames, and the ability of affectionate foreigners to be nicknamed is not weak.

You are good, Li Dong does not translate, insists on making a titan lee, deliberately disgusting people.

Bai Su suppressed his smile, and quickly comforted him: "Mr. Li, giants represent the world's recognition of you. Titans are a group of people in mythology..."

"Come on, don't deliberately disturb me, it's useless to say less."

Li Dong interrupted her, and turned off the computer casually, so as not to trouble himself.

After getting up and stretching his muscles, Li Dong said: "The next stage is the rapid development period of Weibo. In terms of Weibo, I finally don't have to worry about it, and I don't need to ask me for money anymore.

How is the site selection for the aviation airport going?

China Resources has broken through the barriers with supermarkets. How far has it progressed? "

Bai Su hurriedly said: "It's almost time to choose the location of the airport. Mr. Lan and Mr. Qin discussed it and decided on three alternative locations.

First, a piece of land in the suburbs of Jiangcheng, Hubei Province is more suitable for building an airport.

Second, Bianliang in Henan Province is also more suitable, close to the mouth of the Yellow River and the Grand Canal, and the water transportation is relatively developed.

Third, there is an abandoned military airport near Minghu Lake in Jiangbei, which is more suitable for the current far-flung aviation.

On the Minghu side, the land transport is well developed, and the water transport has been a treaty port since ancient times. The Yangtze River shipping is more developed than other water systems.

We are mainly building a cargo airport, and our headquarters is in Pingchuan, and Yuanfang Logistics Park is also here. It is much more convenient to transport by the Yangtze River system. "

Li Dong glanced at her, frowned and said, "Don't be biased, I will consider these things.

What about Huarun? "

What Bai Su said just now was obviously biased towards Minghu, and Li Dong didn't know if it was her own idea or someone's instigation.

However, as a secretary, Bai Su's responsibility is to report some work without emotion, unless Li Dong asks her to analyze, otherwise, such directional words should not come out of Bai Su's mouth.

Bai Su's heart tightened, and she quickly reported the cooperation between China Resources and Yuanfang.

But he smiled bitterly in his heart. He knew that Li Dong was not so easy to talk, and he was hotheaded, so why did he have to say more.

Don't look at Li Dong's usual care and politeness towards his classmates. He is not satisfied with what he really wants to do, and it's not empty words to kick him far.

If I knew it earlier, I shouldn't have promised others.

ps: Thank you Lijad, the chief executive, for the reward. I wish you a smooth inspection tomorrow and good health...
