On July 24th, Li Dong began to visit some local tycoons in Hong Kong.
When he got married, many tycoons in Hong Kong, including the shipping king family, the Jiadori family, and people from the Yangtze River, attended his wedding.
And this time, Li Dong also visited them one by one, which could be regarded as a return gift.
Respect should be given to each other. Li Dong naturally couldn't think that he was the richest man in the world, so he must be visited by others. After all, there was an age gap.
Of course, he didn't go to the Yangtze River. Last time was enough. If he visited in person twice in a row, especially at this time, it would seem that Li Dong was too weak.
Li Dong visited in person. No matter which family it was, the etiquette was very important and they were very polite.
This was not the same as in the past!
In 2007, when Li Dong came to Hong Kong for the first time, it happened that the Country Garden went public.
At that time, the Yang family held a reception in Hong Kong, and at that time, there were also many children and executives from big families.
At that time, although Li Dong was a little famous, he was still not taken seriously.
The core of that reception was the second daughter of the Yang family, the richest woman in Hua Xia.
Seeing that Li Dong's attitude was not very respectful, some of the representatives of some tycoons in Hong Kong disdained him afterward, and some mocked him a few times.
In fact, most of those tycoons at that time were from Chaoshan and Guangdong provinces.
However, now, did any of the Cantonese businessmen and Chaoshan businessmen dare to look down on Li Dong?
The two tycoons of the Cantonese businessmen in the mainland of Hua Xia, Gome Old Huang and Tencent Ma Huateng, were both defeated by Li Dong.
Even on the Yangtze River side, Li Dong also started to target the other party's business in China. Both parties did not have a good relationship recently.
At this time, no one in Hong Kong dared to look down on Li Dong, let alone ignore Li Dong.
That night, Zhaofeng Fang's family organized a party. Although it was called a private party, it was actually a welcoming party for Li Dong.
Moreover, the number of guests also shocked the participants that day. Hong Kong was more open than the mainland, and there were fewer restrictions on officials. That night, the regional chief and his wife attended the event in person.
In addition to the official representatives, some other old families and some older entrepreneurs with lordship also attended the banquet.
At this time, some of the second and third generation present didn't even have the right to speak.
The entire banquet was centered around Li Dong. For the entire night, only the older generation chatted and laughed with Li Dong.
Li Zeju was the only person from the second generation who went up to interact with him.
Although Li Zeju was a second-generation heir, in fact, he was now the actual controller of the Yangtze River. At this time, among the second-generation heirs present, he was probably the only one qualified to talk to Li Dong.
No one knew what the two of them talked about.
They only knew that when the banquet ended, although Li Zeju remained calm, his eyes still revealed some anger and helplessness.
…
Hsu Shengzhe, who also attended the banquet, couldn't help but ask when the banquet was over and Li Dong was in the same car, "What did you talk about with him? I think Li Zeju is very angry."
Li Dong smiled and said, "What can I talk about? About Baijia. I didn't say anything. I just said that Hong Kong is too small and I plan to give up. I want to expand the coverage of the mainland retail business and open a special area for beauty and health care in the future. "
"Ahem, ahem, ahem …"
Hsu Shengzhe choked and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "You really dare to say that? Is it necessary?"
Li Dong sneered and said, "It's not necessary. In fact, when I came to Hong Kong last time, I made my intention clear in advance.
Logically speaking, if Changjiang really wanted to give me face, they should not have accepted the offer of other companies when we made the acquisition offer.
I didn't say that I would lower their price. In business, everyone should respect each other. Now I need to use this opportunity to expand our layout in the southern area.
"As a result, they saw through it and insisted on comparing goods with other companies. Aren't they deliberately raising the price?
"I offered 2 billion US dollars, which is higher than the acquisition of Carrefour. Isn't this price enough to buy Baijia?
"What's the basis of their raising the price now?
"It's because of our participation that Huarun Group is willing to raise the price. Do we have to raise the price to that extent?
"Without us, would Huarun Group have offered more than 2 billion US dollars?
"Now they are taking advantage of the opportunity we need to make a big profit for themselves. Since they don't give me face, I don't need to give them face.
"To put it bluntly, I don't have many businesses in Hong Kong. I mainly do IT in the world. What can they do to me?
"On the contrary, they ruined my plan at this time. Let's wait and see. Their business in the mainland is just a bonus!"
Hsu Shengzhe frowned and said, "You are becoming more and more overbearing now. Be careful that many people will hit you when you are down."
"It doesn't matter. I have offended many people over the years. I'm not afraid of one or two more."
Li Dong shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about me. Let Baijia do as they please. Tell me about you. How are you doing these two days? "
Upon hearing that, Xu Shengzhe stopped talking about the Yangtze River. Li Dong had his own plans and arrangements, and he was not qualified to guide Li Dong on how to do it.
When Li Dong asked about himself, Hsu Shengzhe smiled and said, "I'm waiting for you now. The roadshow will be held the day after tomorrow. If your market is good, my market will not be too bad. Longhua will issue 2 billion new shares this time, and the total share capital will reach 10 billion. The issue range is now set at 6 to 7 HKD. If your side is good, I will see if I can set it at 8 HKD … "
Li Dong shook his head and said, "8 HKD is a little too high. You know, Longhu has a total share capital of 5 billion shares, and the issue range is the same as yours, which is 6 to 7 HKD.
Longhua's recent achievements are dazzling, but they are only twice as good as Longhu.
Actually, setting the price of 6 HKD is quite suitable for me.
Real estate shares will not have a big difference in price, and the difference in price will not affect your profits.
If you can increase the price by 20% on the same day, you will be considered a success.
But internet shares are different. Before they are listed, no matter how good you are, you will not be able to see through them.
Once the price is set too low, the funds involved may reach tens of billions or more.
To be safe, 6 HKD should be enough.
Of course, this is only my suggestion. You still have to decide for yourself. "
Xu Shengzhe pondered for a moment before nodding his head. "Maybe you're right. 6 HKD is more reliable. Also, this time, I did not place my own shares, and it will not affect me much. "
Longhua had a total of 10 billion shares, and Li Dong's shares will be diluted. But in the end, Hsu Shengzhe reached an agreement with Li Dong to keep 20% shares after the IPO, which is 2 billion shares.
As for Xu Shengzhe himself, after the last share restructuring, he now held 55% of Longhua's shares, which was 5.5 billion shares.
Other institutions will hold 5% of the shares.
The remaining 2 billion shares will be placed and issued to the public.
Actually, most of these 2 billion shares will not be sold to the secondary market. Longhua had reached an agreement with many institutions to take over the shares.
As for Xu Shengzhe's personal side, he did not sell his shares this time. Hence, the issue price would only affect Long Hua's financing. It would not affect his personal wealth much.
Once the market value rises, he will still have his shares, and the only thing he will lose is his funds.
Also, there is a limit to the increase of a real estate group's share price.
Seeing Hsu Shengzhe had accepted his suggestion, Li Dong laughed. "Don't be too optimistic. If the share price can rise to 7 HKD during the IPO, Longhua's market value will reach 70 billion HKD.
What is this?
Green Osmanthus Garden's market value had dropped from 100 billion HKD to 50 billion HKD now. But it is still the top domestic property company in Hong Kong.
In China's A-share market, Vanke's market value had exceeded 100 billion HKD in 2007, and at its peak, it was close to 150 billion HKD.
But after the 2008 financial crisis, Vanke had not recovered, and its market value had only reached 100 billion HKD.
Poly Real Estate, which is ranked second in the A-share market, is only worth 60 billion HKD now.
Once Longhua's market value exceeds 70 billion HKD, it will be about the same as Poly Real Estate, or even slightly higher. Longhua will become Hua Xia's real estate group, and it will be the second property company in China.
Don't try to make it big in one go. You can go from being ranked outside the top 10 a few years ago to the second in terms of market value. What's there to be dissatisfied about? "
Hsu Shengzhe sighed. "It's not that I'm dissatisfied. I just feel … Forget it. It's boring to compete with you. I just feel that it's so difficult to be the first. If you are not the first in all aspects, it's hard to be the first in terms of market value. Green Osmanthus Garden had achieved it in the past, even if it was only for a short period of time. Actually, what I mean is the same … "
"Then, the market value plummeted, and you will wait for the investors to despair?"
Li Dong snorted and stared at Dong Xuebing. "You are weaker than I thought. Why are you so eager to prove yourself to your father?
I think your father will be satisfied if you are the second.
If you are the first, he will not be at ease.
The shot will hit the bird that pokes its head out, and you are still the first. This makes people uneasy.
Being the second will always be easier than being the first. At least when the sky falls, there will be someone taller to support it.
In the past few years, I think you have not grown, and you are a little muddle-headed.
Compared to the past, I feel that you are smarter. But now, you are a little silly. "
Hsu Shengzhe laughed at himself and said casually. "Maybe. To be honest, I felt that the competition was more intense in the past, and I had to scheme. But ever since Boss became a vegetable, the old man retired, and I am the sole owner of Longhua, I am less scheming. I had wanted to compete with you at first. But in the end, you are too fast, and I can't keep up with you. I have no choice but to live on like this. If it weren't for the fact that the old man couldn't hold on any longer, I wouldn't have made such a big fuss. "
As Xu Shengzhe spoke, he suddenly said, "However, during this period of time, I really have some ideas. After Longhua is listed, I will speed up. What do you think? "
Li Dong frowned. "Up to you. When your shares rise to 10 HKD, I will dump them all. I don't care what you are going to do."
"I don't think there is a need for that."
Hsu Shengzhe felt helpless. Li Dong felt that his speed was fast enough.
Li Dong ignored him. Although Longhua had been established for a long time, it is not any shorter than other real estate companies.
The Xu family has a lot of connections in Jiangbei and even in East China.
But as a real estate conglomerate, they still placed a lot of emphasis on this aspect. Without the backing of the state, it would be even more difficult to become a big boss in the country than in Distance!
Far away is a retail company, and there are not many restrictions. But real estate companies are different.
Seeing Hsu Shengzhe's disappointment, Li Dong said after a while, "If you really want to do it, bring in the state."
"You mean …"
Hsu Shengzhe said half a sentence and did not continue. He understood Li Dong's hidden meaning.
…
On July 25th, Li Dong began to contact some investment institutions.
In Hong Kong, there are many international investment institutions, and almost all of the well-known international investors have offices in Hong Kong.
Tencent resumed trading and planned to raise 6.5 billion USD, which is not a small amount.
In 2007, Ali went public and raised about 1.7 billion USD, which caused a big sensation.
At that time, Ali had too many achievements.
It set a record for Hong Kong stock market and the world's technology stock market. It even exceeded Google's funding.
And Ali's oversubscribed funds exceeded everyone's expectations. The frozen funds exceeded 450 billion HKD, and the oversubscribed was more than 250 times!
On the day of the listing, the closing price was about three times the IPO price, and the price-to-earnings ratio was 300 times!
Such a legend, even after Alibaba's delisting, had disappointed countless investors, it was still difficult to cover up.
Now, Tencent is resuming trading. In fact, it is a brand new life.
The scale of the financing is as high as 6.5 billion USD, which is unprecedented in the Internet industry!
In the Internet industry, Ali is still the largest IPO, with 1.7 billion USD.
Google is second, and it is not far from Ali.
Of course, this was a few years ago. But in the past two years, because of the financial crisis, there are not many Internet companies listed, and the scale of the financing is very small.
Therefore, Tencent's plan to resume trading with 6.5 billion USD is in Xiangjiang. Not only the investors in Xiangjiang are paying attention, but the IT industry all over the world is paying attention.
Tencent's resumption may be the beginning of the next Internet spring.
Or the beginning of winter?
Once Tencent's resumption is thwarted, it is likely to affect the entire Internet industry. This kind of large-scale impact is very likely.
Therefore, everyone is paying attention to Tencent's first roadshow and the situation of the live subscription.
It is not just Tencent. There will also be Weibo.
Tencent's setback may affect Weibo.
So far, many people feel that it is a bit risky to let two companies go public at almost the same time this time.
However, once the two companies go public and get good news, So far's reputation and strength will increase completely.
Risk and opportunity coexisted. This was unavoidable.
…
There are too many people paying attention to Tencent's resumption. On the 25th, when Li Dong is still contacting investors, the IT industry in China and the world once again rushed to Xiangjiang.
The new Tencent Group has not yet gone public, but it has attracted everyone's attention.
