After Li Mu and his entourage arrived in Hong Kong, more than a hundred executives of Makino Technology and Taobao took a chartered flight from Beijing to Hong Kong the next day, which was November 30th.
In addition to the executives of Makino Technology and Taobao, Chen Wan also arranged the work at hand and took a plane from Xiangdu to Hong Kong alone.
Du Wei and her parents also took a plane to Hong Kong on the 30th, ready to participate in the bell ringing ceremony.
The IPO of Makino Technology was a milestone event for Li Mu. Although she was very busy with work, she still did not want to miss this opportunity to witness history.
In addition, she also hoped that when Li Mu reached another peak in his life, she could stand by his side silently and watch him be crowned as the new king.
Because Makino Technology's IPO was the world's largest IPO with the highest market value, the world's attention was focused on Hong Kong, the Oriental Pearl.
On December 1st, Li Mu set off from his hotel and went to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
Along the way, many reporters and citizens welcomed him.
This was the highlight of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange since its establishment. The 450-billion-dollar Internet unicorn would be listed here, and it would become the company with the highest market value in the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and even the world.
The media paid great attention to this IPO, and many were even guessing how much the stock price of Makino Technology would skyrocket on the first day of listing.
However, Li Mu no longer paid attention to the stock price.
Because no matter how high the stock price was, in the next year or two, there would be no more than 10% of the shares in the stock market. This was because the other shareholders' shares were locked, and they were not allowed to cash out or pledge.
In other words, the 10% of shares would become tradable shares and be given to the shareholders for their own entertainment. The rise and fall of the stock price had little to do with Makino Technology itself and the shareholders of Makino Technology.
Only when they could gradually reduce their shares, the stock price would actually affect the amount of cash they could cash out.
Otherwise, even if the stock price doubled today, it would be useless. The people who benefited were the funds and clients who subscribed in advance. Makino Technology had already received 45 billion USD, so the impact was not great.
However, there was one indicator that would be affected by today's stock price.
That was Li Mu's personal value.
He now held almost 70% of Makino Technology's shares, and Makino Technology's market value was 450 billion USD. He had already received more than 300 billion USD from Makino Technology, making him the richest man in the world.
If his personal holdings in other companies, as well as his personal assets and cash, the total market value could steadily exceed 500 billion USD.
Before this, Bill Gates, who ranked first on the list, was worth 40 billion USD.
That was to say, Li Mu alone was worth ten times more than Bill Gates, which was more than the combined assets of the second to the twentieth richest people on the list.
If the stock price of Muye Technology rose by 50% today, then Li Mu's net worth in Muye Technology would directly rise from 320 billion dollars to 480 billion dollars. In that case, his net worth would increase by another 160 billion dollars, which would be enough to surpass the combined wealth of all the people from the second to the thirtieth on the list.
While, Li Mu had Mu had arrived at the Chamber of the Stock Exchange.
The person in charge of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and several executives were already waiting outside.
Li Mu got out of the car and greeted them. They immediately invited Li Mu and his entourage into the VIP lounge, waiting for the bell ringing ceremony to begin at 9 o 'clock.
According to the pre-arranged procedure, the person in charge of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange would first open the ceremony, and then Li Mu would go on stage to give a short speech. At 9: 30, the bronze bell would be rung.
Sitting in the VIP lounge, Papa Lee and Li Ma rubbed their hands nervously. For them, today was simply a dream. So, both of them felt like they were in a dream and couldn't come back to their senses.
Although many friends had come today, Li Mu still accompanied his parents. Seeing that his parents were a little nervous, he comforted them with a smile, "Dad, Mom, just stand beside me later. Don't be too nervous."
Papa Lee wiped his sweat and said, "I feel very nervous just thinking about it. How can a company be worth hundreds of billions of dollars? That's trillions of yuan … It's scary …"
Li Mu smiled and said, "The market value is just a figure deduced from the stock price. It doesn't mean that your son really has so much money. In fact, the total market value of the shares in the market is only 45 billion."
Li Ma couldn't help saying, "That's already a lot. It's scary …"
Li Mu smiled and said, "Mom, that's the way to start a business. You either die quickly or you succeed quickly. It's even more so when you become big. Big companies either climb to the top or fall to hell. I was just lucky to be the one who climbed to the top."
Li Ma nodded gently and said jokingly, "It's really the blessing of the gods that my son can achieve what he has today. I don't know how good the Fengshui of your family's ancestral grave is. It's practically emitting green smoke …"
Papa Lee smiled and said, "You don't say. Ever since my son succeeded in his business, countless people have gone to visit the ancestral grave of the Li family. They just want to study the Fengshui of the Li family's ancestral grave …"
The family of three chatted for a while, and his parents' originally nervous mood suddenly eased a lot. At this time, the door of the lounge opened, and two old acquaintances walked in side by side.
Li Mu didn't expect that it would be Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang.
Since Mei Yanfang's early-stage cancer surgery was successful, she and Zhang Guorong had basically retired from the entertainment circle. In order to avoid the chaotic and cruel Hong Kong entertainment circle, they settled in the United States for a long time. Occasionally, they would visit the mainland, but they almost never came back to Hong Kong.
Zhang Guorong had always been very disappointed in Hong Kong's entertainment circle, especially in the past few years. He had been attacked and humiliated by all kinds of unscrupulous media in Hong Kong, so he had already wanted to avoid this place.
Mei Yanfang had the same opinion as him. After being diagnosed with cancer, her mentality had also changed a lot. She didn't have the motivation to work hard like before. In addition, her original family had always been annoying her, so she was happy to live a stable and ordinary life in the faraway United States.
Li Mu really didn't expect that the two of them would actually appear here. He hurriedly went forward and asked, "Brother, Lady Mei, why are you two here?"
Zhang Guorong smiled and said, "We heard that your company was going to be listed, so we were waiting for you to ring the bell in the United States. In the end, you came to ring the bell for Google, so we didn't go to support you. We were waiting for your company to ring the bell in the United States, but we didn't expect you to be listed in Hong Kong, so Lady Mei and I rushed over."
Mei Yanfang also said with a smile, "I saw the news, so I went to find Leslie. Both of us felt that since your company was ringing the bell, we had to come no matter what, so we quickly bought plane tickets to come back!"
