The Rebirth of Wealth

August 25, Tuesday.

NASDAQ Exchange.

On this day, there was no promotional slogan on the LED display in Times Square, only a bright red five-star red flag.

This is Nasdaq, and even an American financial institution, the biggest recognition of Huaxia enterprises!

When the financial crisis swept the world, when local companies in the United States dared not go public, when the American people were panicking, when the younger generation lost confidence in the American dream ...

At this time, Weibo went public!

Li Dong's world dream, Li Dong's personal legend, let the younger generation in the United States reignite confidence!

TitanLee can do it at the age of 24, so can they!

The myth of starting from scratch, the magical Oriental giant, these days has had a huge impact among the young generation in the United States.

Compared to China, the younger generation in the United States adore personal heroism even more.

In the eyes of the younger generation, the division of national boundaries is not so important.

What's important is that Li Dong has done what everyone can't, but everyone expects.

These days, several traditional newspapers and magazines that have great influence in the United States and even the world have published stories about Li Dong.

The New York Times claimed that Li Dong spread "Eastern Magic" to the world.

The Wall Street Journal used the term "influencing the American generation" to praise Li Dong.

Actually, what did Li Dong do in the United States?

He did nothing!

But this era requires a hero and an outsider who will restore the glory of the financial market again.

After experiencing the financial crisis of 2008, at this time, a hundred wastes are yet to be seen.

No matter how good the government says, there are more policies implemented, but the general public does not believe it, does not approve, and has doubts.

It is difficult to eliminate the adverse effects in a short time!

Based on this, whether it is the United States, China, or other countries, it is actually hoped that a civilian hero will come out at this time to restore public confidence in the world economy.

And Li Dong, he is a civilian hero!

The United States hopes that a local hero will come out at this time. Traditional industries have been difficult to achieve. In the past, many people had hoped for Zuckerberg.

In 2009, the figure of the year, in fact, many people hope that Zuckerberg will be selected.

Even, there are still many people who hope that Facebook can go public at this time to stimulate the financial market.

But from the beginning of 2009, Facebook has been losing ground in a competitive situation in competition around the world.

Zuckerberg himself was reluctant to go public at this time for the future of Facebook. Eventually, the hope of shaping local heroes was shattered.

In fact, in the previous life, 10 years ago, Zuckerberg was elected as the figure of the year. In fact, at that time, it was also necessary to restore the economy. Otherwise, Zuckerberg may not be elected.

Today, Zuckerberg is in a competitive position in the global market.

Besides, Li Dong ’s fame has been concealed. Li Dong ’s Weibo listing in the United States is actually conducive to the local government ’s control of social networking sites such as Weibo. Civilian heroes are no exception.

The key is still that the place where Weibo is listed is the United States!

If Li Dong chose to go public in China this time, it would be like Teng Xun. Despite creating a series of miracles, there were not many people talking about it in the United States, but more about discussing Weibo.

At the moment, shaping Li Dong as a civilian hero of the world is actually a restriction for Li Dong in the eyes of many people.

At this time, Li Dong was promoted to the altar, or the old beauty contributed. After that, when the world's richest man from China faced some problems, did he still wish to make some inappropriate comments?

Li Dong's influence is now spread all over the world and is no longer limited to China.

At a critical moment, Li Dong, as a world-renowned entrepreneur, made some remarks and still had a lot of influence.

And all this, as the local newspapers in the United States conduct positive reports and guide, if Li Dong does not want to bear some infamy in the future, it is best to keep his mouth shut on key issues.

...

As for the politicians' thoughts, Li Dong did not guess, and he was too lazy to guess.

Today's Li Dong does not want to participate in these.

Li Dong never feels how much he has the ability to eat, how much he really can influence.

Even if something is promoted in China, Li Dong has spent countless energy, but in fact, these things will appear sooner or later without him.

Therefore, all this is actually the inevitability of historical development.

What Li Dong can do is to push a small step a little bit. He can't affect too many things, and he doesn't want to influence it.

The old and American governments had calculated that he did not care. He only knew that Weibo was going to be listed today, which was enough.

time Square.

Today, overcrowded.

When Li Dong led the team, the media from all over the world swarmed in.

Accepting media interviews before going public has almost become the norm.

The staff around Li Dong whispered a few words and introduced some of the media sources in front of them, many of which are well-known TV media in Europe and America.

According to Liu Hong, listing in the US is best to be interviewed by the local US media.

But Li Dong looked around for a while, but he gestured to the CCTV media with a 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 these CCTV media abroad on the scene are likely to appear in the evening news at night.

Seeing Li Dongxian accept the CCTV interview, although other media reporters have some regrets, they also retired to the side in an orderly manner.

The CCTV news reporter who was given priority in interviewing was extremely excited at the moment. He quickly stepped forward and put on the microphone and asked, "Hello Mr. Li, at this highly anticipated moment, we all know that Weibo is about to go to NASDA Gram is even the largest IPO in the United States this year.

This Weibo IPO has attracted worldwide attention, and some media even think that this is the demarcation point of the global economic recovery. How do you view these views from the outside world? "

Li Dong lightly laughed: "Some exaggeration, or that the market at this moment needs an enterprise to come forward and prove to the world that the economic crisis is over!

However, do you need proof?

In Xiangjiang, Teng Xun resumed trading and proved to the world that the cold winter had passed. "

"Mr. Li, some people say that you are the savior of the world economy, how do you view this statement?"

Li Dong smiled and shook his head: "I have never been a savior, neither a savior of the world economy, nor a savior of anyone.

If you need inspirational objects and a direction in life, then you can target Li Dong.

But to say who I saved, it was just your own thoughts.

At this moment, although I know that these videos may spread to all parts of the world, I still want to say that people, especially young people, do n’t be so tall, and do n’t send hope to anyone. Work hard!

You think I am the savior, but this is not the case. "

Seeing that Li Dong denied this view, the CCTV reporter asked again: "How do you view the future of Weibo, or the future of a distant place?"

"future?"

Li Dong pondered for a moment: "The future is not really certain. Many people like to talk about the future. In fact, I would like to say, seize the present!

Opportunities are often right in front of your own eyes, not the illusory future.

While you are waiting for the future, chances may have slipped away.

Many people like to talk about how to build a company that will last for hundreds or even hundreds of years.

But actually?

In fact, these companies may not be able to sustain three years or five years.

By that time, everything had become a joke.

In the past, I also like to say that a long-term enterprise should be built from afar, and how many years of plans should be made ...

But in the end, I realized that all of this was empty talk.

The development of the enterprise needs to adapt to local conditions, and the development of the society is also changing with each passing day. If you keep to the previous goal, it will only limit you and let you fall into it.

Therefore, seizing the present is the only one!

The future, let alone the future, glory and success will only be now!

Of course, I am talking about myself. What other companies say is their freedom. People always have a little dream. I may be more realistic than these people, but I cannot deny the dreams of others.

Like Ma Yun, I always like to say that today is cruel, tomorrow is even cruel, and the day after tomorrow is beautiful.

He pinned his hopes on the day after tomorrow, and I hope that today is better and tomorrow is better. I like to be greeted with goodness every day, instead of experiencing many times of darkness before ushering in a short light. "

"Cough cough ..."

A cough sounded at the scene. Someone was reminding Li Dong that someone was really choked.

I have gone abroad, and now there are media reporters around the world. Are you still a black horse at this time, am I sorry?

However, Li Dong didn't realize this, opened the dialogue box, and continued: "This can actually be seen from the enterprise itself.

Ali, indeed, has gone through many trials and tribulations, so far no light has been seen.

In 2007, after a short period of glory, I fell into darkness again.

In fact, it's not just Ali. This is actually the norm of many companies, so they all pin their hopes on the future.

And in the distance ... "

Li Dong paused and said with his face: "And the distance, unlike them, the distance is brilliant all the way to now!

Even if we have dark moments, they are too short to be seen.

Perhaps when you blinked, the light replaced the darkness!

For more than five years, the remote battles are invincible and unstoppable. From the remote small county towns, we have step by step to the present, to the world, to the world. This is proof!

I also firmly believe that the distance will be glorious along 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 infect everyone at the scene. His voice fell, and there was a round of warm applause around him.

Yes, the distance is indeed brilliant all the way to now!

Although, the distant place has also experienced bumpy times and crises again and again, but they are all very short-lived, and eventually only greater potential and strength will erupt.

Li Dong proved to the whole world that yesterday in the distance was brilliant, today is even more brilliant, and tomorrow will be the same!

Although, the distance is only a special case, but now, what everyone needs is a special case, instead of pinning hope on the future, why not seize the opportunity of the present?

CCTV's interview soon came to an end.

At this moment, less than half an hour before the official listing, CCTV cannot take up too much time for Li Dong.

Next, Li Dong was interviewed by several world-renowned media organizations.

The interviews were very short, but some of Li Dong's views were widely quoted.

Including Li Dong's views on the recovery of the world economy, the current situation of China's economy, these words have spread around the world with the records of these journalists.

Looking at the extreme young Li Dong, in front of the whole world, he is still so confident and strong, talking openly.

Some young Americans who arrived at the scene shouted in excitement, some shouting "Hero" and some shouting "Titan".

In the United States, the younger generation is deeply influenced by superheroes. In their view, Li Dong is a realistic superhero!

Even if he did not save the world, Li Dong is more in line with the heroic image in their minds.

...

Accompanied by cheers, Li Dong entered the Nasdaq Exchange under the **** of security personnel.

In the exchange's studio, Weibo also had a bell-ringing ceremony here.

This time, there are many members of Weibo's underwriting syndicate.

When Li Dong entered the market, a vice president of Goldman Sachs asked a rare question, "Li, are you really sure to issue it for $ 45?"

For underwriters, the lower the price, the better.

But this time, Weibo was too hot, and even Goldman Sachs felt that it might be more appropriate to mention $ 50.

Business is not one-off.

If this time, Weibo's listing price is low, will Li Dong choose them in the next Yuan Mall and other industries in the distance?

Teng Xun, which is listed on Xiangjiang, has not seen a small increase after listing this time.

In their opinion, Li Dong is not such a generous guy. One loss is enough. Weibo is listed. If the increase is unexpected again, then Li Dong will definitely be dissatisfied.

The next time they go public, I'm afraid they will be fine.

These investment banks at Goldman Sachs can be strong and overbearing for some companies, but for people like Li Dong and companies like Distant, if they want to continue to cooperate, it is natural to benefit from each other and it will help everyone to cooperate for a long time.

The vice president of Goldman Sachs personally raised the issue of pricing, and everyone in Liu Hong's side was excited.

It's so rare!

The underwriter actually took the initiative to raise the price with the company at the last moment, which is probably the only one for China's listed companies in the United States.

You should know that every dollar increase now means that Weibo can raise an additional $ 80 million.

If the price is raised to US $ 50, it means that Weibo can raise an additional US $ 400 million, which is several billion RMB.

When they were excited, Li Dong smiled and said: "45 dollars is very good, the company is listed, it is a feast.

Not only ours, but also the majority of investment institutions and investors.

It's really too high, but it's not good.

While we are profitable, others are also making profits, which is our goal.

Sharing is the theme of this year's distance, and it is also my goal for Li Dong.

Today, I share my happiness with everyone. I think that tomorrow, everyone will bring me more happiness. "

"Pappa ..."

There was a round of applause again, and many people chanted the word "Share".

Is China's Li adhering to the idea of ​​sharing?

Some people who dealt with Li Dong for the first time felt that Li Dong deserved to be able to reach this point at this age. Several entrepreneurs, especially young entrepreneurs, thought of sharing at this time.

But those investment institutions who have dealt with Li Dong many times have face convulsions at the moment.

share it?

Will Li Dong share it?

Li Dong, who is extremely powerful and overbearing, has not dealt with the interests to the extreme when dealing with them in the past.

The price was not raised this time because it was $ 45, which is actually not low.

On the other hand, Li Dong personally, this time he was spotless and did not directly place shares.

In this way, how much the price increase actually reduced Li Dong's personal impact to the extreme.

Otherwise, if Li Dong personally cashes out tens of millions of shares this time, do you think he will not raise the price?

The money for financing is a little less, it is the entire Weibo sharing, all shareholders share and replace it with himself, I am afraid that at this time will not share happiness with others.

Knowing to know, no one pierced at the moment.

...

When the time was close to opening, Li Dong came to power and made a few remarks.

This time, he did not say Weibo. At the end of his speech, he focused on five words in Chinese-hope is far away!

Weibo is just a trivial part of the distance.

The success of Weibo and Teng Xun's success are ultimately only part of the success of the distance.

The real success is from a distance, Li Dong!

Some people on the scene, whether they understand Chinese or not, are chewing the meaning of these words.

Hope in the distance?

Is there any more ambitious plan for Yuanfang Group?

And Li Dong did not explain much. At the last moment of opening, he pressed the electronic bell.

Compared to ringing the bell on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, even though the Nasdaq market is bigger and the place is bigger, Li Dong still feels a little bit less.

...

Regardless of taste, other people will soon ignore these.

On August 25th, the daylight saving time in the United States was entered. At 9:30 local time, the Nasdaq opened.

Weibo rose 15% at the opening, opening at $ 51.75 as the opening price!

Half an hour after listing, Weibo's share price broke through $ 60.

An hour later, Weibo's share price broke the $ 65 mark!

At the peak of the session, Weibo's stock price once exceeded the $ 90 mark, and the peak market value of Weibo reached the $ 36 billion mark!

Just as everyone expected to break through $ 100, investor enthusiasm fell slightly, and finally when the market closed in the afternoon, Weibo's stock price closed at $ 88, a slight decline from its peak.

Even so, such results have satisfied everyone.

On the day of Weibo's first launch, the increase reached 95.5%, and the closing market value reached US $ 35.2 billion. Following Teng Xun's second position in global online stocks, Weibo once again won the fourth position.

At the moment, among the global Internet stocks, Google is the leader with a market value of 150 billion US dollars.

Next came Teng Xun. At this time, Teng Xun closed in Xiangjiang, and the stock price once again floated up to 68 billion US dollars.

The third place is Amazon, with a market value of 38.5 billion US dollars.

The fourth is Weibo, which created a market value of 35.2 billion US dollars.

The two technology stocks of Yuanfang Group won the second and fourth positions in the world, which is enough to shock everyone.

The market value of the two subsidiaries, together, has broken through the hundreds of billions of dollars mark!

The total market value ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ reached 103.2 billion US dollars!

At this moment, it seems that Google is not too far away.

Many people are even thinking, can the listing of Faraway Mall create a market value of 47 billion US dollars?

If it can, it means that Yuanfang Technology, in just a few years, directly surpassed Google and became the overlord of global Internet companies!

At the same time, there are countless people concerned about Li Dong's personal wealth growth.

With 60% of Teng Xun's shares and 30% of Weibo's shares, Teng Xun brought Li Dong a revenue of 40.8 billion US dollars, and Weibo brought Li Dong a revenue of 10.56 billion US dollars.

These two alone created 51.36 billion US dollars of personal wealth for Li Dong!

At this time, the Forbes Global Rich List is updated again.

When seeing the gap between Li Dong, the world's richest man, and the world's second, many people are sympathetic. Living with Li Dong in an era is destined to make many people unknown, even if they are also synonymous with legend.
