August 25th, Tuesday.
NASDAQ Exchange.
On this day, there was no slogan on the LED display screen of times square, only a bright red five-star red flag.
This is the biggest recognition of Chinese enterprises by Nasdaq and even American financial institutions!
At a time when the financial crisis is sweeping the world, when local enterprises in the United States are afraid to go public, when the American people are in panic, when the younger generation loses confidence in the American dream
At this time, microblog is on the market!
Li Dong's world dream and Li Dong's personal legend have renewed the confidence of the younger generation in the United States!
Titan Lee can do it at 24, and so can they!
The myth of starting from scratch, the magical Oriental giant, has had a tremendous impact on the young generation of the United States these days.
Compared with China, in fact, the younger generation in the United States worship personal heroism more.
In the eyes of the younger generation, national boundaries are not so important.
What's important is that Li Dong has done what people can't but expect.
These days, several traditional newspapers and magazines with great influence in the United States and even in the world have published stories about Li Dong.
According to the New York Times, Li Dong has applied "Oriental magic" to the world.
The Wall Street Journal, on the other hand, praised Li Dong as "influencing a generation of Americans.".
In fact, what did Li Dong do in America?
He didn't do anything!
But in this era, we need a hero and an outsider to restore the glory of the financial market.
Experienced the financial crisis in 2008, at this time, everything is waiting for prosperity.
No matter how good the government says and how many policies it implements, the general public does not believe it, does not accept it, and has doubts.
It is very difficult to eliminate the adverse effects in a short time!
Based on this, both the United States, China and other countries hope to come out with a civilian hero at this time, so that the public can restore confidence in the world economy.
And Li Dong, he is a civilian hero!
The United States would like to have a local hero at this time. It is difficult for traditional industries to do so. In fact, many people have put their hope on Zuckerberg.
In 2009, the person of the year of the times, in fact, many people hope that Zuckerberg can be selected.
Even, there are still many people who want Facebook to go public at this time to stimulate financial markets.
But since the beginning of 2009, Facebook has been losing ground in the competition around the world.
Zuckerberg himself is not willing to go public at this time for the future of Facebook. Finally, his hope of creating a local hero is dashed.
In fact, in his previous life, 10 years ago, Zuckerberg was elected the man of the year. In fact, at that time, it was also necessary to restore the economy. Otherwise, Zuckerberg would not be elected.
Today, Zuckerberg in the global market, competition is in the opposite direction.
Li Dong's Micro blog listing in the United States is actually conducive to the local government's control over such social networking sites as microblogs. Some politicians of the old US government, after a while, think that it is not impossible to mold Li Dong into a civilian hero.
The key is that Weibo is listed in the United States!
If Li Dong chooses to go public in China this time, just like Teng Xun, although he has created a series of miracles, there are not too many people talking about it in the United States, but more about microblogging.
At the moment, shaping Li Dong as a global civilian hero is actually a restriction on Li Dong.
At this time, Li Dong was promoted to the altar, or did the United States contribute. After that, when the richest man from China met some problems, did he mean to make some inappropriate remarks?
Li Dong's influence is now all over the world, no longer limited to China.
At the critical moment, Li Dong, as a world-famous entrepreneur, made some remarks, which still had great influence.
And all this, with the positive reporting and guidance of local newspapers in the United States, if Li Dong doesn't want to bear some names, he'd better keep his mouth shut on key issues.
……
Li Dong did not speculate on the minds of politicians, nor did he bother to speculate.
Today's Li Dong doesn't want to participate in these activities.
Li Dong never felt that he could really affect what he could eat.
Li Dong has expended countless efforts to promote some things in China, but in fact, these things will appear sooner or later, even without his promotion.
Therefore, all these are the inevitability of historical development.
What Li Dong can do is just push it a little bit. He can't influence too many things, and he doesn't want to influence it.
He doesn't care about the calculation of the old US government. He only knows that microblog will be listed today, which is enough.Times Square.
Today, it's overcrowded.
When Li Dong led the team to arrive, media from all over the world flocked in.
It is almost a rule to accept media interviews before listing.
Li Dong's staff explained a few words in a low voice and introduced the origin of some media in front of him, many of which are well-known television media in Europe and America.
According to Liu Hong, it is better to accept an interview with local media in the United States before listing in the United States.
However, Li Dong looked around, but he motioned to the CCTV media with the five-star red flag on the microphone.
The CCTV media here and the CCTV media that Li Dong followed up are not systematic.
Moreover, the video recording of the follow-up will not be broadcast in time, and the interviews conducted by CCTV foreign media on the spot are likely to appear on the evening news at night.
Seeing that Li Dongxian was interviewed by CCTV, other media reporters, although somewhat regretful, also backed away from the side very regularly.
The CCTV news reporter, who was given the priority to interview, was also extremely excited at the moment. He quickly stepped forward, handed over the microphone and asked, "Hello, Mr. Li. At this moment of great attention, we all know that microblog is about to launch Nasdaq, even the largest IPO plan in the United States this year.
This micro blog IPO has attracted the attention of the whole world. Some media even think that this is the dividing point of global economic recovery. How do you view these views from the outside world? "
Li Dong said with a chuckle: "it's a bit exaggerated, or at the moment, the market needs an enterprise to stand up and prove to the world that the economic crisis has passed!
However, does it need proof?
In Xiangjiang, Teng Xun resumed trading, proving to the world that the cold winter has passed. "
"Mr. Li, some people say that you are the Savior of the world economy. What do you think of this statement?"
Li Dong shook his head with a smile and said, "I am never the Savior of the world economy, nor the Savior of anyone else.
If you need inspirational objects and a life direction, you can take Li Dong as your goal.
But who's going to save you.
At this moment, although I know that these videos may be spread all over the world, I still want to say that people, especially young people, should not aim too high, and do not hope with anyone. People can only rely on themselves to struggle and strive!
You think I'm the Savior, but it's not. "
Seeing that Li Dong denied this view, CCTV reporter asked again, "then how do you view the future of micro blog, or the future in the distance?"
"The future?"
Li Dong pondered for a moment and said, "the future is not certain. Many people like to talk about how the future will be. In fact, I would like to say, seize the present!
Opportunities, often in their own eyes, rather than the illusory future.
When you are waiting for the future, opportunities may have slipped away.
Many people like to talk about how the future will be, and how to build a century or even hundreds of years of enterprise.
But actually?
In fact, these enterprises may not survive for three years or five years.
By that time, everything became a joke.
In the past, I also like to say that we should build a century old enterprise in the distance, and make plans for many years
But at the end of the day, I found that all this was just empty talk.
The development of enterprises needs to adapt measures to local conditions, and the development of society is also changing with each passing day. If you always adhere to the previous goals, it will only limit you and let you fall into it.
So, seize the present is the only one!
The future, the future again, glory and success, will only be now!
Of course, I'm talking about myself. What other enterprises say is their freedom. People should always have some dreams. I may be more realistic than these people, but I can't deny the dreams of others.
Like Ma Yun, always like to say, today is cruel, tomorrow is more cruel, the day after tomorrow is beautiful.
He pinned his hope on the day after tomorrow, but I hope that today will be better and tomorrow will be better. I like to be able to welcome the beauty every day, instead of experiencing the darkness for many times to usher in the short-term light. "
"Cough, cough..."
There was a burst of cough at the scene. Someone was reminding Li Dong that someone was really choked.
All of them have been abroad. Now there are media reporters from all over the world. Are you still a black horse at this time?
However, Li Dong didn't have this self-consciousness. He opened the conversation box and continued: "this point can be seen from the enterprise itself.
Ali, it is true that he has gone through many tribulations and has not yet seen the light.
In 2007, after a brief resplendence for a period of time, it fell into darkness again.
In fact, it's not just Ali. It's actually the norm of many enterprises, so they all place their hope in the future.And far away... "
Li Dong stopped, full of self-confidence: "and the distance, different from them, the distance is brilliant all the way to now!
Even when we have dark moments, they are too short to be seen.
Maybe in the blink of an eye, the light will replace the dark again!
Over the past five years, we have been invincible from afar. From the remote small county town, step by step to the present, to the world, to the world, this is the proof!
I also firmly believe that the distance will be brilliant all the way.
Today is beautiful, tomorrow is better, and the day after tomorrow, it will only get better and better! "
Li Dong's confident remarks infected everyone at the scene. His voice fell down and there were bursts of warm applause around him.
Yes, the distance is really brilliant all the way to now!
Although, we have experienced many frustrations and crises from afar, they are all very short-lived, and will only burst out with greater potential and strength in the end.
Li Dong proved to the whole world that yesterday in the distance is brilliant, today is more brilliant, and tomorrow will only be so!
Although far away is only a special case, now, what we need is a special case. Instead of pinning our hopes on the future, why not seize the opportunity of the present?
CCTV's interview soon came to an end.
At the moment, only half an hour from the official listing time, CCTV can not occupy Li Dong too much time.
Next, Li Dong was interviewed by several world-famous media organizations.
The interviews were short, but some of Li Dong's views were widely circulated and quoted.
Li Dong's views on the recovery of the world economy, the current situation of China's economy, and these discourses have been spread all over the world with the records of these media reporters.
Looking at the young to the extreme, Li Dong is still so confident and powerful in front of the whole world.
Some young American people who came to the scene were excited and kept shouting. Some called "hero" and others called "Titan".
In the United States, the young generation is deeply influenced by superheroes. In their view, Li Dong is a real superhero!
Even if he did not save the world, Li Dong was more in line with their hero image.
……
Accompanied by cheers, Li Dong, escorted by security personnel, entered the NASDAQ Exchange.
In the studio of the exchange, Weibo also has a bell ringing ceremony here.
This time, there are many members of the microblog underwriting group.
When Li Dong entered the market, a vice president of Goldman Sachs asked, "Li, are you sure you want to issue it at $45?"
For underwriters, the lower the price, the better.
But this time, Weibo is so popular that even Goldman Sachs thinks it is more appropriate to mention $50.
Business is not one-off.
If this time, the price of microblog listing is low, will Li Dong still choose them for the next remote mall and other industries?
Teng Xun of Xiangjiang listing, this time after listing, the rise is not low.
In their opinion, Li Dong is not such a generous guy. A loss is enough. If the micro blog goes public again, Li Dong will be dissatisfied if the increase is unexpected again.
I'm afraid they will have nothing to do with them next time.
The investment banks like Goldman Sachs can be strong and domineering to some enterprises, but to people like Li Dong and enterprises from afar, if they want to cooperate all the time, naturally they will make profits from each other, which is more conducive to long-term cooperation.
The vice president of Goldman Sachs personally raised the issue of pricing, and Liu Hong around Li Dong was full of excitement.
How rare!
At the last minute, the Underwriters took the initiative to raise the price with the enterprise, which may be the only one for the Chinese enterprises going to the United States to list on the stock market.
You know, every $1 price increase now means that Weibo can raise more than $80 million.
If the price is raised to $50, it means that microblogging can raise 400 million dollars more, which is several billion yuan.
When they were excited, Li Dong said with a smile: "45 dollars is very good. The listing of enterprises is a feast.
Not only ours, but also the majority of investment institutions and investors.
It's not good to pull it too high.
Our goal is to make profits while others follow suit.
Sharing is the theme of this year from afar, and also my goal of Li Dong.
Today, I share my happiness with you. I think that tomorrow, you will bring me greater happiness
"Pa pa pa pa..."
There was another round of applause, and many people chanted the word "share".
Is Li of China adhering to the concept of sharing?
Some people who deal with Li Dong for the first time feel that Li Dong deserves to be able to reach this level at this age. Several entrepreneurs, especially young entrepreneurs, want to share at this time.But those investment institutions that have dealt with Li Dong many times, the faces of those present at the moment all have some convulsions.
Share?
Will Li Dong share it?
Li Dong, who is extremely powerful and domineering to the extreme, has not dug his interests to the extreme when dealing with them in the past.
There was no increase in the price this time because it was $45, which was not low.
On the other hand, Li Dong, as a person, did not give up any shares this time.
In this way, the increase in price actually reduced Li Dong's personal influence to the extreme.
Otherwise, if Li Dong cashes in tens of millions of shares this time, do you think he will raise the price?
The financing money is a little less. The whole microblog is sharing, and all shareholders are sharing. If he changes into himself, I'm afraid he will not share happiness with others at this time.
I know, but no one is poking it right now.
……
When the time was close to the opening, Li Dong took the stage and made a few remarks.
This time, he did not say micro blog, but at the end of his speech, he used Chinese to say five words - hope is far away!
Micro blog is just a tiny part of the distance.
The success of micro blog and Teng Xun are only part of the success in the distance.
The real success is far away, Li Dong!
Some people on the scene, whether they understand Chinese or not, are chewing on the meaning of these words.
Hope is far away?
Far away group, is there any more grand plan?
And Li Dong did not explain, in the last moment of opening, pressed the electronic bell.
Compared with ringing the bell on the Hong Kong stock exchange, even if the market of NASDAQ is bigger and the place is bigger, Li Dong still feels a little less flavor.
……
Whether it's tasted or not, other people soon forget about it.
On August 25, the U.S. summer time entered, and Nasdaq opened at 9:30 local time.
Microblog opened up 15%, with $51.75 as the opening price!
Half an hour after listing, the stock price of microblog exceeded $60.
An hour later, Weibo shares broke the $65 mark!
At the peak of the day, the share price of microblog broke through the $90 mark, and the peak market value of microblog reached $36 billion!
Just when everyone expected to break through $100, investors' enthusiasm fell slightly. Finally, at the end of the afternoon, the microblog stock price closed at $88, slightly down from its peak.
Even so, such a result has satisfied everyone.
On the first day of its launch, Weibo rose 95.5% and its closing market value reached $35.2 billion. Following Teng Xun's taking the second place in global network stocks, Weibo again won the fourth place.
At the moment, Google is leading the global network stocks, with a market value of $150 billion.
Next came Teng Xun. At this time, Teng Xun closed in Xiangjiang, and its share price rose again, reaching 68 billion US dollars.
Third in the list is Amazon, with a market value of $38.5 billion.
Fourth, microblogging has created a market value of US $35.2 billion.
Two science and technology stocks of Yuanyuan group won the second and fourth place in the world respectively, which was enough to shock everyone.
The market value of the two subsidiaries, together, has broken through the $100 billion mark!
The total market value reached 103.2 billion US dollars!
At this moment, it seems that Google is not too far away.
A lot of people even wonder, can distant mall be listed, can it create a market value of $47 billion?
If it can, it means that remote technology, in just a few years, has directly surpassed Google and become the global Internet business overlord!
At the same time, there are countless people concerned about Li Dong's personal wealth growth.
Teng Xun has 60% shares and 30% shares of Weibo. Teng Xun has brought about 40.8 billion US dollars of income to Li Dong, and micro blog has brought 10.56 billion US dollars to Li Dong.
These two alone have created 51.36 billion US dollars of personal wealth for Li Dong!
At this time, the Forbes Global rich list was updated again.
When we see the gap between Li Dong, the richest man in the world, and the second richest man in the world, many people feel sorry. Living with Li Dong in the same era, many people are doomed to be nameless, even if they are also Synonyms of legend.
