Vol 3 Chapter 247: Listed

Chapter 247 Listing

For Feng Zhenchang and the others, New York is the correct way to open the United States. "This is the United States!" Walking on the streets of Manhattan, looking at the buildings they are also familiar with, New York, finally let them understand the reality of the United States, and The United States in their minds overlapped.

But for the members of the Yijia listing team, New York is a less enthusiastic city, and many investors have come, but reporters, the least of the three roadshows.

The most common one is the one in San Francisco. Feng Yiping is also considered a Silicon Valley celebrity. But today, his reputation in New York is still average. People who have read his book know his name, but compare his name with There are not many of his people facing each other.

And for the financial capital of New York, the listing of a company of Yijia's size is really not a big wave.

Fortunately, Yijia itself is still very attractive to these investors. There is no need to worry about the scene encountered by telecommunications before. After the San Francisco roadshow, it has been oversubscribed by 3.9 times and successfully listed on the market. There are no problems.

But this is not to say that the New York roadshow is not important. This time it is still important. The enthusiasm of investors is directly related to the IPO performance.

The price range on the prospectus is 17 to 22 US dollars. If investors are generally enthusiastic, the issue price can only take the lower limit. If the investors are very enthusiastic, the upper limit can be taken.

There is a difference of $5 between the upper limit and the lower limit.

Don’t underestimate the US$5. Yijia’s issuance of 9.8 million American Depositary Receipts is a difference of US$5, which means a difference of US$49 million in fundraising.

For Yijia's total equity of 85.2 million, that means a difference of more than 400 million US dollars in market value.

Any number is worthy of their efforts.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, in the Hilton Hotel on Sixth Avenue, the last road show was completed. It can also be said that the team that successfully completed the preparations for the listing should be the last time to sit together.

"The hard work has finally come to an end." Xu Bin, CEO of Yijia, made a concluding remark, "Then, now there is the last and most important thing left. This is related to how much funds we can eventually raise , That’s our issue price,"

This matter depends mainly on the opinions of the underwriters, who obviously have an answer. Brady of UBS said, “The underwriter’s opinion is that at the highest price in the range, $22 per share is issued.”

Xu Bin hasn't spoken yet, someone is already clapping his hands.

This is easy to calculate, 22 US dollars per share, the total market value of Na Yijia will be 1.874.4 million US dollars, and the management and selected outstanding employees account for nearly 8% of the shares. That is nearly 150 million US dollars!

Converted into RMB, that is more than 1 billion!

Those venture capitalists who succeeded in becoming shareholders at the beginning of this year, such as Sequoia and KPCB, are also very happy, with $22, which is close to double what they had when they first bought shares.

Just as Sequoia's Moritz had expected, investing in Yijia was indeed the shortest time between their investment and listing.

The time is short, and the income is nearly doubled. How are they upset?

Xu Bin hesitated a little too. He converted the shares he held and felt a little dizzy. On the books, he is close to becoming a tens of millions of dollars rich man?

Seeing Feng Yiping and the others waiting to applaud, he quickly said, "Shareholders are applauding, it seems that there will be no problem, then we are sure. The issue price is $22!"

"Oh!" Suddenly, applause and cheers rang immediately.

…………

Although Feng Yiping has always believed that the listing will go smoothly this time, he is grateful and proud to have come so smoothly. At the same time, he is full of expectations for tomorrow.

As a result, he rarely fell asleep again.

This has nothing to do with money.

He could not pretend to be thirteen and say, "Money, for me, it is a number."

This 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.

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 that can be listed here, less than 5,000.

Faced with such a success, Feng Yiping really couldn't calm down.

"Excited, looking forward to?" Huang Jingping asked softly, holding him standing in front of the window.

"Both," Feng Yiping pulled her in front of him and looked at the Central Park not far away. "However, there are also annoying things. From tomorrow on, no matter at home or abroad, more people will pay attention to me."

Just as Deng Chao said in the later movie "Partner", the identity of the founder of an American listed company can win the respect of proud Americans, not to mention that he is still so young!

In China, the most direct impact is that from this year on, he will be on the top of the rich list.

Because the previous public information disclosed the ratio of individual and institutional shareholding, with this public information, the British boy named Hu will definitely not let him go.

"Our company is running upright and has worked so hard. They pay attention to what they like. What's the big deal,"

As a woman behind a real rich man, she naturally paid attention to relevant news. Just in October when they returned to China, Yang Bin, the second and third on the 100 Rich List in 2001, were arrested one after another, but Yang Rong It was early, and he fled in May.

In addition to the original Mou Qizhong, Liu Xiaoqing, etc., the Billionaire List that everyone was envious of now has the nickname of Killing Pig List.

"Yes, there will be this day sooner or later."

It is not realistic to want to keep the wealth under his name. Although he has adjusted the shares in his own name and put more shares under the name of the organization, as the founder, if he personally owns too much shares If it is less, it will make some investors worry, especially many people still come for his reputation.

…………

At 6 o'clock in the morning on December 3, Feng Yiping, who had only slept for less than four hours, received a wake-up call from the front desk. Starting at 6:10, calls came in successively. It seems that I slept restlessly last night. It's him.

"Eat more, it must be very busy this morning," Feng Zhenchang and the others kept putting things on the plate in front of Feng Yiping.

Grandpa and parents. In fact, they don't know much about the significance of going public today, but they at least know that today is very important, and it is remarkable for Feng Yiping to come this far.

A quarter past seven. The group arrived at the Nasdaq building in Times Square, and Feng Yiping's heartbeat was very unpromising along the way.

Different from the classic dignity of the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq Building is very modern, and it cannot be like the New York Stock Exchange. Do large-scale advertisements on its door. On the door-side here, there is a large electronic screen, and there is no place for you to hang inkjet things.

Just took a few photos in front of the door, and the 67-year-old Hardwick Simmons, chairman of the Nasdaq board of directors, took a few staff and personally went to the door to greet Feng Yiping and his party.

This is the second time they have met, Hardwick said with a smile, "Are you ready to stay in the history of the US stock market? The youngest board chairman in history,"

Feng Yiping smiled and pointed his eyes. "I didn't sleep well yesterday,"

"Hehe, trust me, most people do, and I was no exception back then,"

After the security check, the entire team, including several relatives of Feng Yiping, stood in line with more than 30 people. Take pictures in front of a piece of green cloth one by one. This photo will finally be combined with the Nasdaq building and given to the participants as souvenirs.

In the meeting room. One of Hardwick's assistants once again introduced the next process to everyone, "Good luck to us!" she said at last.

Next, everyone will move to the studio, and the ceremony will be held here.

In this studio. One side is full of various cameras. In front of those cameras, there is a wall made up of fast electronic screens. From the equipment, it seems to be even better than the studio hall of CCTV.

And this studio on the first floor is surrounded by a transparent glass curtain wall, and pedestrians passing by can see the situation inside clearly. Feng Yiping, who is surrounded in the middle, looks at the hurrying Americans outside. Citizens, don't have a feeling.

However, the guys outside seemed to have become accustomed to this scene, and few of them glanced at it.

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 exactly, Xu Bin-Feng Zhenchang and Mei Qiuping, unanimously stated that Xu Bin and the others should do it by themselves instead of causing trouble to their son, and they are also worried about doing it themselves. not good.

So, without Xu Bin's knowledge, his right to ring the bell was regained. At this time, with Yijia's team, he pressed the orange button-that is, to ring the bell.

As the bell rang, Feng Yiping's Yijia was finally officially listed on the Nasdaq!

Looking at Xu Bin, who was flushed with excitement above, and those Yijia executives who were very happy and excited, but some could not let go, Feng Yiping's head was empty, dizzy, as if a little downtime, but always enthusiastic. Mechanical applause again.

The head of Nasdaq’s marketing department delivered a welcome speech, followed by Xu Bin. He was so excited that he had to look at the manuscript to finish those few sentences, but Feng Yiping didn’t pay attention to this-he rubbed his hands and took the picture just now. I tried too hard, it was red, and there was a little pain. I kept staring at Yijia's stock price on the screen. The numbers on it refreshed quickly, but from the rolling numbers, they all rose.

Finally, the screen freezes, and next to a rising arrow is the number 32.12.

"Up 46%!" Jin Ling immediately calculated the result and couldn't help but patted Feng Yiping heavily on the shoulder.

The people in the audience either jumped up, or hugged the people around them and shook them vigorously, and patted the other person's back vigorously, "They are, the effect is good?" Feng Zhenchang asked Huang Jingping.

"Very good ~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ rose sharply as soon as the market opened, indicating that the market is very optimistic about Yijia,"

"Feng," Hardwick smiled and waved to Feng Yiping, motioning for them to go to the stage, "Go, together," Feng Yiping helped his grandfather and took his parents to the stage together. At this moment, the people on the stage of the studio The pictures were all displayed on the big screen outside the building at the right time. Feng Yiping's family made their first appearance on the most conspicuous big screen in the center of the world.

At 9:30, the display shows the sign of the successful listing of Yijia Express Hotel. Not only this large screen, but also on the large screen of the Reuters headquarters building opposite, the news and news of Yijia’s listing The picture is very popular.

A reporter from NetEase struggled to squeeze into the center of the crowd and handed the microphone to 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? Rich man, how do you feel? What are your next steps?"

"It's very simple. Let Yijia's market value increase several times as soon as possible. In addition, lead other companies to go public as soon as possible."

Oh, this doesn't seem humble at all.

However, this is really Feng Yiping's truth. (~^~)
