My Age of Investment

  Chapter 979 Changes in the Internet pattern (Bunny Bear Leader 410)

Hongkong.

  Central, Connaught Place.

  A darkened Maybach 57S slowly stopped. As soon as Abel in a suit and leather shoes got out of the co-pilot, he rushed to the back seat to pull the door.

  Xia Jingxing walked out of the back seat of the car without rushing, stood beside the car, and looked up at the crowded and noisy Kang Le Plaza in front of him. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised. It was quite lively today!

   Liu Xiaoduo first straightened the folds in Xia Jingxing's suit, and then squatted on the ground to straighten Xia Jingxing's trousers.

  After a while, she got up and said, "Okay, boss, you are the most beautiful boy in Central today!"

  Xia Jingxing turned his head and gave Liu Xiaoduo a glance. The latter had long hair and a decent professional outfit, finally a bit of an urban beauty.

   "Let's go, pretty girl!"

  Xia Jing pedestrian walked away, Liu Xiaoduo reacted, and hurriedly chased after him, with a happy smile on his face.

   Zhang Chenguang and Abel opened the way in front, Xia Jingxing and Liu Xiaoduo walked behind, and the four of them walked towards the gate of the blocked trading floor.

  At this time, the door was full of reporters, and the camera's flash flickered continuously.

  A male reporter blocked the way and was directly "invited" by Zhang Chenguang and Abel.

When    was pushed aside, the reporter was a little unhappy, but when he saw Xia Jingxing behind, he pounced on him as if he had discovered a new world.

   Zhang Chenguang reacted quickly, took a step to the side, and directly knocked the reporter back with his shoulder.

  The reporter retreated several steps, feeling as if he had been hit by a high-speed car, and his chest was stuffy.

   "Mr. Xia, are you here to attend the listing ceremony of Ari?"

  Looking at the reporter who came up while rubbing his chest while still taking a mouthful of Hong Kong, Xia Jingxing was moved by the professionalism of the other party, so he stopped and started talking with the other party.

   "Mr. Xia, I heard that Envision Capital holds 23% of Ari's shares. The listing of Ari's B2B business will bring you more than $5 billion in book returns?"

  Xia Jingxing laughed, "How can there be so many, unless Ahri's stock price doubles today."

   "Then what do you think Ari's opening price will be today?"

   "27 Hong Kong dollars."

   "Mr. Xia, you are so optimistic."

  ...

  Some other reporters around recognized Xia Jingxing and saw that he was willing to be interviewed, and immediately rushed over.

   "Is this the one?"

   "The crazy line, I don't even know Mr. Xia."

  ...

  A group of reporters spoke Cantonese and left cursingly.

  Seeing that the reporters who were still around him just lost more than half of them inexplicably, Ma Yun was dumbfounded.

  He stood on tiptoe and looked in the direction where the reporter ran, but it was full of human walls and could not see anything.

  Xia Jingxing looked at the reporters who had come in from all directions, and no longer had the leisure to chat. He said "I'm sorry" to the reporters. Then, under the **** of Zhang Chenguang and Abel, he successfully made a **** road.

  The big flower that fell behind was miserable, and one of the high heels ran away.

  Xia Jingxing looked at her pitifully, asked her to wait where she was, and arranged for Abel to go back and help her find shoes.

  Xia Jingxing took Zhang Chenguang and continued walking forward, and saw Ma Yun, who was standing on his feet and looking around.

  Lao Ma is wearing a high-end suit today, combing a hair brother with the same big back, and waxing on his head. It is shiny and stylish.

   "Lao Ma, congratulations! I have been undertaking business for eight years and I have succeeded in one effort!"

  Looking at Xia Jingxing, who was smiling, and the group of reporters following him, the smile on Ma Yun's face froze.

  He knew that this guy would definitely steal his limelight.

  I knew I would not invite him to ring the bell.

  Although Ma Yun felt a bit complaining, he still greeted Xia Jingxing with a smile.

  "Dalun, we are happy with each other, and thank Envision Capital for its company and support over the past two years."

  Xia Jingxing shook hands with Ma Yun, exchanged a few words, and then shook hands with the eighteen arhats behind him, including Cai Congxin, Sun Tongyu, and Pang Lei.

  Including Ma Yun, all the eighteen arhats became Buddhas on the spot today, and all of them laughed and became Maitreya Buddhas.

  It can be seen that everyone is happy in their hearts.

  The pie that Jack Ma once painted for them can finally be eaten.

  Xia Jingxing and Jack Ma stood at the entrance of the trading floor for a few minutes, waiting for Sun Zhengyi, who arrived slowly, and eight other cornerstone investors.

  The eight cornerstone investors are Wharf Chairman Wu Guangzheng, Kerry Holdings Chairman Guo Henian, Sun Hung Kai Properties second-generation director Guo Bingxiang, Futukang Guo Taimin, Yang Zhiyuan, and representatives of Cisco, ICBC (Asia), and AIG.

  After a few simple greetings, everyone gathered around Ma Yun and walked towards the trading floor.

  Seeing so many big guys around him, like a star-shaped moon, made Ma Yun find a lot of feeling, and the good mood of being destroyed by Xia Jingxing recovered a little bit.

  Everyone came to the lounge and sat down, waiting for the launch of the listing ceremony.

  Xia Jingxing just put on the corsage, and when he looked up, he saw Guo Taimin suddenly standing in front of him.

  Guo Taimin smiled and said, “Mr. Xia, the bell ringing ceremony is over later, can you give me a face and have a potluck together?”

  Xia Jingxing’s misconduct: “Mr. Guo, I’m a little sorry, next time I invite you, I have something to do, and I rush back to the mainland in a hurry.”

   was rejected, Guo Taimin was not angry, smiled and said "OK" and walked away.

  Xia Jingxing knows what Guo Taimin wants to do, but Fuxing Mobile will not cancel the cooperation with BYD casually.

Over the years, Futukang has been doing everything possible to suppress BYD. The latter spun off its mobile phone OEM business and prepared to go public some time ago. It submitted the prospectus for the first time, and then Futukang sued BYD in the Hong Kong court to sabotage BYD’s business. Listing plan.

  The grievances between the two companies began in 2002, when BYD entered the foundry industry. Because of inexperience, it hired hundreds of Futukang employees.

  Here, things are not too serious.

  Until later, Futukang discovered that there were employees in the company secretly sending system files to the group of employees who had moved to BYD.

  Guo Taimin suddenly realized that the secret of BYD's OEM business from zero to five billion in revenue in just four years is here!

  Dare to buy my rich wool! Then the price must be paid.

  Liang Zi of the two companies ended up, and later evolved from a commercial litigation case to a criminal case, and the former executives of BYD's OEM business were sentenced for this.

  Xia Jingxing is not interested in participating in the battle between the two companies, he is just for the supply chain security to check and balance.

  Of course, from the bottom of his heart, he still prefers BYD a little bit more, after all, he is his own.

  After a while, Ari CFO Wuwei came to the lounge to inform everyone that it was time to play.

  Ma Yun took the lead in leading the crowd to the trading floor and boarded the bell ring covered with red carpet.

Without taking the manuscript, Jack Ma began to make an unwritten speech: "Today, for Alibaba, it is just the beginning, and the road ahead is still very long, because our idea from the first day of business is to help the whole society and the whole world. Of SMEs have contributed..."

  Lao Ma was very fluent in speech and full of voice. As soon as the audience was over, there was thunderous applause and flashes of light.

  Next, Jack Ma took the lead in raising the champagne, and Xia Jingxing followed everyone in raising the champagne and making a toast.

  At ten o’clock, Ari’s B2B business was officially listed with the stock code “1688.HK”.

  The opening price was HK$30, an increase of 122% from the issue price of HK$13.5.

   Raised 11.6 billion Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to 1.5 billion U.S. dollars, setting the largest scale of financing for Chinese Internet companies.

  Calculated at the opening price, the market value exceeds 151.6 billion Hong Kong dollars.

  Looking at the floating green numbers on the big screen behind him, Jack Ma smiled with satisfaction. For this day, he had waited for eight years and suffered countless sufferings and grievances.

  Even if time goes back and asks him to choose again, he will not regret creating Ari!

  At this moment, Jack Ma, with a magnificent glory and glory, although the body on the stage is small, but in the eyes of others, it is very tall, a great entrepreneurial hero!

  Ma Yungan enjoyed all kinds of admiration and envy from the audience.

  He suddenly remembered something, and turned his head to look at Xia Jingxing, who was standing next to him, who had a faint smile on his face, and he was extremely calm.

  This makes Jack Ma a little unhappy. As the company's second largest shareholder, shouldn't you be ecstatic?

   Must be jealous of yourself! It must be so!

  At the moment, the market value of the B2B business is about to catch up with Facebook. If you add Taobao, Alipay, Yahoo China and Ari Software, the valuation of 50 billion US dollars is not an issue.

  The pride of Xia Jingxing's past has been severely left behind by herself at this moment.

  The title of the first person on the Internet in China already belongs to him.

  Thinking of this, Ma Yun felt a little more balanced, and then he began to sympathize with Xia Jingxing. The Facebook listing is far away, and I don’t know when to wait.

  He guessed that Dai Lun must have mixed feelings at this moment, but still has to make a calm look, the purpose is not to let himself see through his weak heart.

   Immediately afterwards, Ari’s corporate promotional film began to be shown on the big screen, and Ma Yun also began to accept interviews with reporters.

  Xia Jingxing was also unsurprisingly surrounded by countless reporters. The previous reporter who asked Xia Jingxing at the door was also among them.

  He eagerly leaned in front of Xia Jingxing, handed out the microphone and said: "Mr. Xia, you are really a stock god! Ari's opening price today is 30 Hong Kong dollars, which is very close to the 27 Hong Kong dollars you predicted an hour ago."

  Xia Jingxing smiled slightly, "What does this mean? It shows that shareholders friends are more optimistic about the development of Ari than Envision Capital, the second largest shareholder."

  The reporters laughed, thinking that these remarks are suspected of advertising.

"Mr. Xia, can you talk about the story of your investment in Ari? According to the opening price, the market value of Ari is about 20 billion U.S. dollars. After the issuance of new shares is diluted, Envision Capital still holds 21.95% of Ari's equity. This is what you hold. The value of part of the equity has reached more than 4 billion U.S. dollars. I heard that you invested less than 700 million U.S. dollars in Ari two years ago. You made six times in two years. Are you satisfied with this?"

  Xia Jingxing smiled. He hasn't had time to calculate how much money he has made. The reporter is more anxious than him and has already done the calculation for him.

  "Jack Ma and I met at the Pebble Beach Golf Course in the United States..."

  The reporters all calmed down and listened patiently to Xia Jingxing’s story about his investment in Ari.

   "You have just met a stranger for half an hour, would you dare to invest nearly $700 million in him?"

  A reporter asked, and the eyes of other reporters were full of suspicion. There must be a degree of bragging! Who will believe this?

  Xia Jingxing’s smile was very calm, but she cried out a fluke in her heart. Fortunately, she didn’t say “the stalk of investment in 5 minutes”, otherwise this group of reporters might explode on the spot.

   "Yes, although I only talked with Jack Ma for half an hour, I had been following Ari for more than three years.

  Anyone who understands the history of the development of Facebook should know that we have sold T-shirts on campus for a while, and those T-shirts suppliers were found through the Ari B2B website, which is the website listed today.

  That batch of T-shirts made great contributions to Facebook’s campus market development work, and the quality of the clothes is very good. When I returned to Stanford to give a lecture more than two months ago, I saw students wearing..."

  Hearing such a legendary story, the reporters' eyes shined brightly.

  Now they believed it, and the other party dared to decide to invest in Ahri for half an hour. There were multiple reasons.

   "Mr. Xia, can you tell me what is your personal share of the 700 million U.S. dollars invested by Ari?"

  The other reporters all craned their necks and were very interested in this topic.

  If all the 700 million US dollars belonged to Xia Jingxing’s personal investment, it would be terrifying.

   Including Ari’s unlisted assets, this $700 million investment is now worth nearly 100 billion yuan, which can directly catch up with Xia Jingxing’s current worth.

  Xia Jingxing coughed, "This question..."

  The reporter held his breath.

   "It's not very convenient to disclose!"

  The reporters suddenly booed.

Xia Jingxing smiled and said, “Because of the LP privacy issue, I’m sorry, but I can’t disclose too much! But I can tell you that CIC and several S funds have purchased the fund shares of Liqiu No. 2, which is equivalent to indirect holding of Ari. ."

Xia Jingxing didn't want to attract everyone's imagination, so he threw CIC and S Fund out as a shield.

  In fact, Liqiu No. 2’s personal share is not much anymore.

   first sold 35% of the fund shares of the blue blood aristocrats in the United States at a price of 3 billion US dollars, and then sold 15% of the fund shares to China Investment for 1.5 billion US dollars. Only 50% of his personal fund shares were left.

  Liqiu No. 2’s asset portfolio contains 20% of Ari’s equity, and only 19.09% remains after the listing dilution, half of which belonged to him.

  In addition, Liqiu No. 1 asset portfolio still has 3% of Ari's equity, and 2.86% remains after the dilution of the listing.

  The two funds are added together, and his personal holdings of Ari’s equity total 12.4%.

  If you can wait until Ari grows into an Internet behemoth with a market value of 500 billion US dollars, then his share of this part is also worth more than 60 billion US dollars, and it is very hidden among the powerful LPs in the United States and China.

After making a few more jokes with reporters, Xia Jingxing ended the interview.

  After Jack Ma’s interview was over, everyone went to the Shangri-La Hotel, where a celebration banquet was held, and Guo Henian was treated by the boss.

  As a cornerstone investor, Kerry Holdings bought HK$232.8 million in stocks at a price of HK$13.5, and made several hundred million on the day of listing.

  Mr. Guo was very happy, and generously said that there is no need to pay for the whole consumption.

  Looking at Mr. Guo, who was happily drinking and chatting with Ma Yun, Xia Jingxing didn’t know if the old man could laugh so brilliantly in two years, because the lock-up period for the stocks of these cornerstone investors was two years.

  The door has been welded to death, and it will take two years for the car to jump.

  Guo Taimin walked to Xia Jingxing with a wine glass, "Mr. Xia, I toast you a glass."

   Seeing the people, Xia Jingxing was a little embarrassed. She didn’t seem to have said the words of rushing back to the mainland, right?

  He clinked glasses with Guo Taimin, raised his head and drank the wine.

  Xia Jingxing thought the other party would say something, but left without saying anything.

  Sun Zhengyi and Yang Zhiyuan accompanied Ma Yun to toast at a table, and soon it was Xia Jingxing’s turn.

  "Dalun, I have been looking for you for a long time, why did you hide in the corner? You are also a major shareholder of the company anyway, walk around, toast with us, today is a happy day, everyone open up and drink."

  Ma Yunzui's face flushed, and he kept Xia Jingxing's shoulders and kept pulling the latter out.

  Yang Zhiyuan and Sun Zhengyi didn't feel much, they smiled and watched from the side.

  Xia Jingxing is a little more sensitive. He found that Ma Yun's attitude towards him seemed to have undergone a subtle change.

  Ma Yun used to be polite to himself, as if he still looked up at himself, but now his attitude has become very casual.

  Xia Jingxing couldn't hold back Ma Yun, and didn't want to make trouble because of this, so he got up and followed him for a toast, and then everyone sat on a table and continued to drink.

   "Daren, Facebook hasn't submitted the prospectus yet?"

  Hearing Ma Yun's words, Sun Zhengyi and Yang Zhiyuan both turned their eyes to Xia Jingxing.

"Not yet!"

  Ma Yunyu said earnestly: “Then you have to hurry up. A-shares have performed very abnormally recently. There is still some hot money on the market in Hong Kong and U.S. stocks, but it will be gone when it is too late.”

  Xia Jingxing smiled slightly, "Lao Ma, are you starting to pay attention to international finance now?"

  Ma Yun smiled and said confidently: “It’s definitely not comparable to your professionals. I just studied the financial market recently and got something.”

  Xia Jingxing laughed, "You are humble. According to the current development trend of Ari, you will soon be among the top five Internet companies in the world. At that time, financial forums and international conferences will inevitably invite you to be a guest."

  Ma Yun is very satisfied with Xia Jingxing’s remarks, because from today on, he is the lever of China’s Internet. When attending international conferences, he represents the whole of China.

  After the third wine tour, Xia Jingxing got up and left. Ma Yun "reluctantly" delivered Xia Jingxing to the door. He wanted to invite Xia Jingxing back to the mainland to participate in the second celebration banquet held in Lin'an, but Xia Jingxing declined.

  This more or less makes Ma Yun feel sorry, and one less chance to earn face.

  However, the future is long in Japan, isn't the domestic network still mixing in the country? In the future, Mr. Xia will be invited to West Lake to discuss swords.

  Xia Jingxing came to the IFC Phase II building full of alcohol and asked Liu Xiaoduo to make him a cup of tea. Then he stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked at the beautiful scenery of Victoria Harbour.

  After a while, Abel walked into the office and reported to him about his work.

  "Dalun, CIC and the U.S. LP of the S Fund have all sent us congratulatory messages to congratulate Ari on his successful listing."

  Xia Jingxing turned around and nodded to show that she knew.

  Ari’s success can still be used slightly, such as taking the opportunity to raise some funds.

  "Abel, what do you think we raised in the United States to invest in China... well, how about a PE fund that includes China and the international market?"

Abel has been responsible for fundraising since he was transferred back to New York. He knows the market situation well and replied: "Our investment in Ari can actually be regarded as a long-term investment. With this performance, we have raised billions of dollars. It’s not too difficult."

"real?"

  Abel nodded seriously.

   "Then, leave it to you, raise a PE fund of at least 5 billion U.S. dollars, we want to make a big deal!"

  Abel has been in charge of PE funds for a period of time, and he understands the company’s development. The three main product lines are hedge funds, followed by VC venture capital funds, and PE equity investment funds the worst.

  However, with the listing of Ari, it has brought back a round of PE funds. Only Ari's B2B business has brought more than 3 billion US dollars in book profits, and has been working hard to kill VC funds for several years.

  "Is it only a long-term investment?" Abel asked.

   "Including holding investment and even the secondary market, do it all!"

  Hearing the boss's murderous words, Abel had a hunch that he was really going to do a big job.

   "Okay, then I will return to New York tomorrow to share the joy of Ari's success with the American people."

  Xia Jingxing nodded and reminded: "Raise the fundraising action."

  Abel rattled in his heart, "Daren, you are worried..."

   Seeing the boss nodded slightly, Abel understood everything. He couldn't help but admire the boss a bit. He was really an old capitalist, and he didn't let any opportunity to swindle money.

  This is where I’m not as good as my boss, and I’m still too kind.

  At night, Xia Jingxing took a look at Ari’s closing price, which had already reached 39.5 Hong Kong dollars per share, with a market value of 199.6 billion Hong Kong dollars and a price-earnings ratio of 320 times.

  Hong Kong’s local stock trading forum, Xia Jingxing also went shopping, saying that the horses from the mainland are always big pipes, and the stock code is also auspicious, 1688, all the way...

  Participate in new investors, and they can earn 13,000 Hong Kong dollars in one lot. Hong Kong people don’t believe in Mr. Lai anymore, they believe in Mr. Ma.

  There is another interesting thing. During the daytime, Ari’s stock trading is too active, which causes network congestion in some banks in Hong Kong, which is very rare.

  At the same time, Ari announced in the evening that he would exercise the green shoe mechanism, that is, over-allotment rights, and issue an additional 114 million additional shares, raising the amount of funds raised to 13.13 billion Hong Kong dollars.

  Ari’s total share capital has also increased to 5.05 billion shares.

  Xia Jingxing had to admire Lao Ma, and he really made him understand finance. The sickle was sharp and fast.

  Xia Jingxing also visited the news and online communities and forums of major domestic portals, which is more lively than Hong Kong.

   "Shock! China was born as a world-class Internet giant for the first time! Alibaba landed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and advanced into the world's top five Internet giants, redefining the height of China's Internet!

   Attached is a real-time ranking list of global Internet giants market value, Google is 200 billion US dollars, eBay is 50 billion US dollars, Yahoo is 40 billion US dollars, Amazon is 30 billion US dollars, and Ari is 25 billion US dollars. "

  Under this post, a thread soon asked: "Where is my big Facebook? It was valued at 25 billion U.S. dollars last year!"

  "Attention, Facebook is a valuation, and Ari is a real market value and tradable shares."

   "Zong Xia holds nearly 22% of Ari's shares. How many points does Jack Ma hold? It's just a worker."

  ...

  Xia Jingxing was having fun. Netizens were arguing about Ahri's ranking on the Internet in the world.

  However, someone soon moved to Yahoo Japan, which has a market value of 30 billion U.S. dollars. Ari can only regretfully rank sixth in the world and second in Asia.

  However, Jack Ma has basically achieved the honor of being the first person on the Internet in China, and has been recognized by most netizens.

  In addition, there are still many people discussing e-commerce entrepreneurship, planning to join this entrepreneurial track... Well, open a Taobao store.

  Xia Jingxing thinks that opening a Taobao store at this time, the choice is quite good, can enjoy the bonus period for several years.

  It is foreseeable that Taobao and even Ari will usher in a new round of business growth.

  In short, the Internet business branch of e-commerce was completely ignited by Jack Ma and became a mainstream Internet business alongside SP, online games, and advertising.

  At the same time, the city of Lin'an has also been brought on fire by Ari and has become China's fourth Internet city. Many netizens are considering whether to start a business in Lin'an and cultivate China's largest Internet company. It will never be worse.

  Ari’s listing this time has attracted the attention of the whole society and is of far-reaching significance.

  There are also good people on a list.

  Ari takes the lead and forms the No. 1 camp in China's Internet with Penguin and Baidu. The market value threshold of tens of billions of dollars has a certain weight in the world;

  Focus, Giant, Ctrip, Sina, Netease, Shanda and other six companies constitute the second camp of China's Internet, with a market value of between 3 billion and 6 billion US dollars;

   More than a dozen Internet companies, such as Sohu and Hainei.com, constitute the third echelon of the industry, with a market value or valuation ranging from several hundred million US dollars to more than two billion US dollars.

  After reading this list, Xia Jingxing’s self-esteem was a bit too much for him. He actually ranked Hainei.com to the third echelon, and ranked behind Sohu.

  Charles spends time and drinks all day, and I work hard every day, but the result is not as good as him?

   murmured in his heart for a while, and Xia Jingxing also began to reflect.

  The list is not necessarily accurate, but so many netizens leave messages expressing support and recognition, which shows that it is still in line with most people’s rankings.

  At the same time, it also shows that the reputation of the domestic holding group is still weak, and the brand is not well-received.

  Want to catch up!

  Xia Jingxing felt a sense of urgency in her heart.
