Weibo's debut on August 2nd was very popular.
Following this, Weibo had a few more stops in the US, and it was also very popular.
Li Dong did not participate in the entire event, but he would show up at times to communicate with investors.
After the US roadshow ended, it was August 10th, and Weibo's results were out.
In the US, Weibo's subscriptions had reached 58 billion USD!
Following this, Weibo still had a few more stops, including Asia and Europe.
The outside world guessed that Weibo's subscriptions might exceed 100 billion USD or even more.
After all, Asia and Europe might not be as strong as the US, but these two continents have countless countries and investors, and the US cannot compare.
Also, as the concept of VR and Virtual Reality was perfected by some investors and Weibo, everyone knows that Weibo's future is clear.
An internet company with a clear future, even if it cannot achieve this goal in a short time, everyone knows that this company is much less risky.
Next, Tencent will raise more funds.
100 billion USD is only the bottom line.
… …
When the outside world was watching Weibo, they did not forget about Tencent.
Li Dong did not participate in Tencent's roadshows in other places. But Weibo's popularity also increased Tencent's popularity, and vice versa.
Both companies got listed at the same time, and there are pros and cons.
But now, there is a good sign.
When one company is popular, the other company will be more popular.
When both companies are popular, the side effect will be greater.
On August 10th, after Weibo's roadshow in the US, Tencent's international placement had frozen 350 billion USD.
The public offering had frozen 800 billion HKD!
On the 10th, Tencent and the underwriting group also announced the end of the subscription period.
Such a large amount of frozen funds was enough, and it is meaningless to bring in more funds. In the end, it will lower everyone's chances of winning the lottery, and more investors will be disappointed.
This time, Tencent raised 6.3 billion USD, and the frozen funds reached 450 billion USD!
This time, Tencent made history.
The international placement had frozen 350 billion USD, and it surpassed the world record of 300 billion USD set by ICBC in 2006.
The frozen funds in the Hong Kong stock market exceeded the record of 450 billion HKD set by Ali in 2007.
A total of 450 billion US dollars was frozen, which once again set a world record for frozen IPO funds.
If Weibo was included, 58 billion US dollars had entered the market at that moment. With more than 500 billion US dollars raised, the entire Far away Technology and Far away Holdings had been placed in the spotlight by everyone.
So far away, if a company like this were to have its businesses split up and listed, it would be really bad.
On August 10th, Tencent updated its prospectus again. It did not increase the upper limit of the offering range, which made many investors excited.
Tencent actually did not increase the offering price despite the amount of frozen funds. Other than praising Li Dong for being righteous, the investors really had nothing else to say.
If it were any other company, they would at least increase the limit by a few HKD under such favorable circumstances.
…
With 450 billion USD of frozen capital, Li Dong no longer had to worry about Tencent.
On August 10th, when the American roadshow ended, Li Dong flew back to China.
He would not participate in the next few roadshows.
It was one thing to be tired, but another reason was that Tencent was going to resume trading.
Compared to Weibo, Tencent resumed trading earlier, on August 18th.
On the other hand, Weibo started its IPO earlier, on August 25th, delayed by a week.
August 18th, Li Dong's birthday, the third anniversary of the establishment of Faraway Group.
This day was very memorable. At this time, Li Dong would not be able to justify not returning to the country.
Of course, Li Dong was very glad that August 18th this year was not a Saturday or Sunday. Otherwise, the stock market would be closed, and Tencent would not be able to resume trading.
…
On the evening of August 10th, Li Dong's private plane took off and began to fly to China.
When he landed at Pingchuan Airport, the sky was dark. It was already the early hours of the 12th.
At this time, Li Dong, who got off the plane, could not help but exclaim, "I lost a day in my life!"
The 11th was gone, just like that.
Because of the time difference, although the flight time was less than 15 hours, the 11th had already passed in Hua Xia.
Bai Su, who got off the plane, was a little funny and said, "But you also passed the 1st twice."
"It's different. I won't go abroad next time, especially to Europe and the United States. If I go there, my life will be shortened by a day. It's not worth it. "
Bai Su was speechless. Aren't you the same in China? The time is still so long. It's just that you are not used to the time difference.
Li Dong sighed, looked at the time and said, "It's already early in the morning. Everyone else, go back and rest early. You all have two days off tomorrow, and you have to go to Hong Kong on the 17th. I have to come back at noon to prepare for the anniversary celebration in the evening. This August will probably be the month I have the most flying time. "
At this time, Li Dong could only be glad that he bought a plane.
Otherwise, he would be exhausted to death running back and forth.
It was a good thing that the Tencent resumed trading on the 18th, but for Li Dong, it was also the most difficult time.
In the morning, he went to Hong Kong to prepare for the resumption of trading, and in the afternoon, he had to go back to Pingchuan to prepare for the third anniversary celebration.
Even a young man like him couldn't stand it. Some of those old men were even busier than him. Li Dong had to admire these old men. They really worked hard for money.
…
When he returned to the East Garden, it was already past two o 'clock in the morning.
After making arrangements for Tan Yong and the others, Li Dong washed downstairs and prepared to spend the night in the bedroom downstairs.
As soon as he finished washing up and walked out of the bathroom, Shen Qian was sitting in the hall. Seeing him come out, she said with a smile, "Have some porridge. It's been cooking for a few hours."
"Why haven't you slept yet?"
Li Dong said with a slight reproach. Looking at Shen Qian, whose belly was getting bigger and bigger, he then said softly, "Don't wait for me next time. I'm very busy these days, day and night. I'm fine. I slept on the plane. You're already eight months old now. You should sleep early. "
"I couldn't sleep. I knew you were coming back, so I couldn't sleep." Shen Qian said with a smile, then said with a face full of admiration, "The video of your speech in America now has hundreds of millions of views in China.
Even my dad called to say that you're very amazing!
The Hua Xia Dream you mentioned, the World Dream, Dad hit the mark for many people.
Of course, it's not limited to the Internet, but the entire country!
On the government's side, it was likely that they would expand the scope of this dream.
When that time comes, you'll be a great hero, the initiator.
Moreover, you've influenced America, Europe, and even the whole world with this concept.
Hubby, you're really amazing! "
Shen Qian was like a little girl, full of admiration.
At this time, she was really full of admiration and pride.
For a businessman to do what Li Dong did, to be able to say some concepts and terms that were used by the entire government, and even as future national policies and slogans, it was simply unbelievable.
Li Dong did it!
This was not something that money could replace. Once the government really extended Li Dong's concept, then Li Dong's reputation in the country would reach a height that no other businessman could reach.
Li Dong, on the other hand, revealed a slightly strange expression. This was a little interesting. In fact, these concepts were not proposed by him.
It was just that he had heard a lot of it in his previous life, so he just said it casually. He did not expect that it would be taken seriously now.
In that case …
Li Dong did not think deeply about it, and there was no need to think about it.
Once this time it was extended to the point of national policy, then he would indeed be invincible in the country.
But even if not, there was not much difference.
The current Li Dong could be said to be golden.
Unless he did something that angered the heavens and people, or really broke the law and was caught breaking the law, he could ignore many things in the country.
Not too concerned about this, Li Dong looked at Shen Qian and said with a smile, "I say, can you not show such an expression? I will be proud! Once this woman is pregnant, her brain is not very good. You worship me so much now, but if I fail one day, won't you despair? "
"That won't happen!"
Shen Qian said happily, "Even if there will be a day when you fail, you were once …"
"Don't!"
Li Dong hurriedly interrupted, "Don't say it. I know that I was once a king, still am, and will still be a king in the future. In short, don't say this to me, it makes me uncomfortable. "
Shen Qian said with a look of amusement, "I didn't want to say this. Forget it, drink some porridge and rest early. Tomorrow … No, when the sun rises, don't go to the company. Rest for the day. You are not made of iron. Even an iron man can't stand being so tired every day. "
As Li Dong drank the porridge, he said with a smile, "Actually, I'm still fine. Compared to others, I'm a lot more relaxed. These few days, Weibo, Tencent, and Far Away Technology are really busy. Especially Liu Hong, he has to look after Tencent while running over to Weibo. But I think he's happier than me. He's not tired at all. Do you think unmarried people are more energetic? "
Shen Qian rolled her eyes at him and said with a smile, "Of course he's happy. Far Away Technology's two subsidiaries are doing very well after they get listed. How can he not be happy?
According to the current price range, Tencent is stable at 300 billion HKD, close to 40 billion USD market value.
Weibo, I heard that you are going to raise it to 45 USD, and the market value will reach 18 billion USD.
After the two subsidiaries get listed, the market value will be at least 60 billion USD.
400 billion RMB. Tell me, who wouldn't be proud to be in charge of such a company?
Also, there's e-commerce and Far Away Finance that haven't been listed. This is not a small number … "
When Shen Qian said this, Li Dong said, "Indeed, to be in charge of such a company, one should be proud. But … forget it. Let's wait. After I'm done with these, some of Far Away Technology's subsidiaries still need to be separated and directly controlled by the headquarters. "
Li Dong didn't want some of Far Away's senior management to have too much power.
Far Away Technology was currently expanding at a frightening speed. 400 billion RMB market value was nothing. This value would increase by several folds sooner or later.
At that time, to be in charge of a trillion-dollar company, one's ambition would grow along with it.
Class was the foundation of business management.
Li Dong didn't want a situation where a subsidiary company could go against the headquarters, and he wouldn't give them this chance. That would not be competition, but it would create a rift within the team. It wasn't worth it.
Li Dong said casually, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and said to Shen Qian, "Go and rest. It's already so late. Staying up late is not good for your health."
"Let's go together. Don't tell me you're still busy?"
Li Dong said helplessly, "I want to, but you know I have a bad habit when I sleep at night. I like to turn over and kick people. I can let it go in the past, but do I dare to do it now? If I kick you, I'll regret it to death. "
He was speaking the truth, but Shen Qian said angrily, "So, you don't feel bad when you kick me in the past?"
Li Dong was dumbfounded. How could this woman change her attitude so quickly?
After comforting her for a while, he sent Shen Qian upstairs. Li Dong laughed and went downstairs to find a bedroom to sleep.
…
On the 12th and 13th, Li Dong didn't go to the company.
After resting at home for two days, on the 14th, Li Dong felt refreshed and went straight to Far Away Building.
In these two days, the outside world was still discussing Far Away.
Weibo's European roadshow shone again.
In two days, Weibo and the underwriters split up and held four roadshows in Europe.
In these two days, they raised more than 30 billion USD.
At this time, Weibo's subscription capital had reached 90 billion USD, not far from 100 billion USD.
In the Asian market, even before the underwriters arrived, there were already countless organizations raising a lot of funds to participate in the subscription.
In the end, it might not reach 200 billion USD, but the outside world felt that 150 billion USD was stable.
After all, the European side was not done yet.
With 150 billion USD subscription capital, even if Far Away's offering price was as high as 45 USD and 80 million shares were issued, the total amount raised was only 3.6 billion USD.
It was extremely rare to see such a large-scale IPO with more than 40 times the subscription capital.
Now, the outside world was not speculating about this. They were all guessing how much the company would increase when it was listed.
First, NASDAQ and Hong Kong did not have a daily limit. Even if there was, there would be no limit on the day of listing.
So, it was hard for the outside world to guess how much the company would increase.
Like Baidu?
More than 300%?
Or will it be like Ali, which increased by close to 200% on the first day of listing?
If Far Away's Weibo and Tencent's share prices increased by 200%, it would be terrifying.
200% was not a doubling of the company's market value. It was two companies worth 60 billion USD, and their market value would reach 180 billion USD on the first day of listing.
If converted to RMB, it would be more than a trillion RMB group.
This increase was not impossible. But if such a market value appeared, it would be terrifying. Faraway Group's Far Away Technology Group and its two subsidiaries' market value was almost the same as Wal-Mart.
It would be the world's fourth largest company, surpassing Microsoft. Is this possible?
Li Dong knew the outside world's guesses, but he could not be bothered to say anything.
This was impossible, and Feng Yu had never thought about it.
Tencent and Weibo's prices were not low. How can there be such a huge increase in their share prices?
Li Dong was satisfied with 20%, and Li Dong was not surprised by 10%.
Ali's share prices in 2007 were overvalued, and Baidu was weak. The underwriters forced them to lower their share prices, and Baidu had to lower their share prices.
Furthermore, Baidu's share prices were also overvalued in the past few years.
In Li Dong's opinion, this kind of false prosperity did not have much meaning.
Feng Yu was not after the market value of the first company. Which entrepreneur in the outside world would care about the market value of a company?
Of course, Li Dong wouldn't mind if he could become the company with the highest market value in the world. No one would despise that.
These thoughts flashed across Feng Yu's mind, and Li Dong's car had arrived at Far Away's building.
At this time, a group of executives from Far Away's building had gathered in front of Far Away's building.
These people were all out to welcome Li Dong.
Li Dong had made a name for himself in Hong Kong and the United States, and everyone in the distance was overjoyed. If it weren't for the fact that he had suppressed them, they would have gone to the East Garden to celebrate for him on the day he came back.
