Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 424 Things about stocks

Although Li Weidong's denial made him feel very disappointed, it was just a disappointment. He was grateful to Li Weidong in addition to being grateful. The best way to be grateful was to work hard.

It may seem like an empty talk, but if you work hard and persist, you can actually bear great fruits. The current situation of the cement factory just illustrates Fang Xuelong's efforts.

Fang Xuelong glanced at Yu Yuan, who was sitting next to him, and smiled politely. This was the sponsor and underwriting agency for their listings on the Shanghai Stock Exchange and Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and they were also brothers.

It does not mean that the sponsor institution will be useless if the company is successfully listed. Moreover, the listing of the company does not mean the end of financing. It opens a door for future financing.

Issuing bonds, convertible bonds, additional issuance, and allotment of shares are all effective ways of refinancing, and these are all inseparable from the intermediary role played by securities companies.

If Qiu Shan Cement wants to grow bigger, it naturally can't just do two public financings. Moreover, the funds they raised in these two times were not very large. They were largely just a stepping stone. There will be many opportunities to use Yu Yuan in the future.

At this time, Yu Yuan and Xu Huabing next to him were chatting quietly, talking about nothing else but going public.

Xu Huabing has long had the idea of ​​going public, but Li Weidong is not keen on this and the company is not short of money, so there is no urgency.

In fact, both the company's founders and investors should have the same goal for listing. In addition to raising a sum of funds, listing can also circulate the stock and increase the net worth.

Although the surge in wealth is fictitious, securities are marketable securities and can be liquidated, which means they are real money.

Even if there are sales restrictions, mortgages can still be made and the purpose of cash can be achieved.

It’s not that Li Weidong doesn’t want to go public, but he thinks it’s not necessary to go public at this time. There is no shortage of money. Listing requires everything to be disclosed and transparent. This is not his style.

A few days ago, Chen Gu proposed to go public, and Li Weidong agreed, which gave those who speculated about Li Weidong something to think about!

Although they do not belong to the same faction, to the outside world, they are still brother companies, and there is an intermediary like Yu Yuan involved in the process. In just a few days, many companies are already planning to go public.

When Yu Yuan works as an intermediary, there will definitely be intermediary fees, and the proportion of sponsorship fees in securities companies' income is not low. If Wanguo Securities wants to develop, it needs more business.

With so many high-quality companies under his name, Li Weidong will definitely have no financial problems and fully meet the requirements of a listed company.

If Li Weidong relents, Yu Yuan will make a lot of money. They are all brother companies. I make money and you go public, a win-win situation!

"Mr. Xu, as long as the chairman has no objections, with the strength of our company, I can guarantee that the company will be listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange within half a year at most!" Yu Yuan assured.

The two of them said that these were of little use. For Bird to be listed, the board of directors must agree and the shareholders' meeting must agree. The largest shareholder is Li Weidong, so as long as Li Weidong agrees, it is enough.

As long as Li Weidong speaks, the board of directors will basically be just a decoration!

"Mr. Zheng, what do you think about this?" Xu Huabing looked at Zheng Sijing. He had no control over whether the chairman agreed or not, but Zheng Sijing had to agree.

Since Bird Company accepted Li Weidong's investment, introduced technology, and ushered in rapid development, it even became one of the largest pager manufacturers in the country in the past few years.

However, just when their sales of pagers had just become the first in the country, the company announced the establishment of a mobile phone division, reduced investment in pagers, and even suspended technology research and development.

The company's development focus has shifted from pagers to mobile phones, but there are great difficulties in terms of technology, product production, and even final sales!

Capital has once again exerted its power, and Jingwei Investment has once again made huge investments. If technology research and development fails, then it will introduce advanced technology and reach technical cooperation with Nokia.

If production fails, just invest in building production lines and acquire upstream and downstream companies. In short, you can't give up halfway. If you could do it in your previous life, there is no reason why you can't do it in this life.

Because of this capital increase, Li Weidong became the absolute majority shareholder in one fell swoop, which also meant that the controller of Bird Company changed hands and ushered in more rapid development.

Before the devastating floods of the year before last year, Bird finally succeeded in making mobile phones smaller and was the most successful company in the country's first-generation digital phones.

After the floods receded, Bird Company became one of the first companies in the country to obtain a mobile phone production license.

The second batch of companies that obtained licenses were a full year later than them. It was during this year that Bird Company took an absolute advantage to occupy the first place in domestic sales.

Even Nokia, which is at its peak globally, has to be convinced in the Chinese mainland market. Although the technology is lagging behind, the cost is much lower and the quality is pretty good. How can it compete?

"Find an opportunity, you mention it to the chairman, and I'll help you!" Zheng Sijing thought for a moment and said to Xu Huabing.

Zheng Sijing also has his own little thoughts. He is also a shareholder of Bird Company. When Li Weidong invested, he invested part of the money. Although it was not too much, it was still a lot for him. He wanted to list it as soon as possible and turn it into securities that could be liquidated at any time.

That's the right thing to do.

As the founding veteran of Bird, Xu Huabing holds more shares than Zheng Sijing. As a shareholder, Xu Huabing is more suitable than Zheng Sijing to raise this issue.

Xu Huabing looked at Zheng Sijing and felt a little nervous. He asked him to look for an opportunity. Where would he go to find it?

"Don't worry, there will be a good opportunity in a while. I have seen the chairman's schedule, and you are among the people I want to meet today!" Zheng Sijing patted Xu Huabing on the shoulder and said.

Xu Huabing was not so nervous at first, but he became even more nervous after listening to Zheng Sijing's words. This was his first time to attend this small meeting. In the past, Bird's turnover had not reached this threshold.

They obtained the production license for mobile phones the year before last, and the company began to work hard to establish sales channels and monetize the products quickly. This year, they finally invited him to participate in the conference.

When he came here for the first time, he inevitably didn't understand the market, and he didn't even know the specific procedures. Now that he heard that Li Weidong wanted to see him, he felt a little pressured.

Looking at the more than 20 people at the venue, even a fool knows how big the company controlled by these people is. This is also his first opportunity to come into contact with this level.

"Then what should I say?" Like Gao Fuxing just now, he also wanted to know how to face Li Weidong.

"Tell me about the company and answer whatever I ask you. Just be truthful and don't be constrained!" Zheng Sijing smiled at Xu Huabing, trying to make him relax.

But this smile not only did not make Xu Huabing relax, but made him even more nervous. There were exam questions for the co-author. If he didn't do well in the exam, would he have to be laid off?

Li Weidong was naturally not as cruel as Xu Huabing thought. When he saw these people, he just wanted to encourage them and get closer to them. As long as there were no issues of principle, how could he change people so easily?

When your business gets bigger, how can it be so easy to change people? If you change a senior executive, there will be a long list, unless the company does not want to use such people, what signal is it sending!

Li Weidong sat in his seat and listened to several people discussing how to safely dispose of his stocks and companies in the United States.

"In fact, according to our analysis, the risk of the Nasdaq is already very high now. Although we don't know where the top is, it shouldn't be far away!" After hearing Zou Yi's words, Xu Yanden glanced at Li Weidong and said.

Xu Yandeng is the person in charge of a fund company. He has a good vision and a strong sense of risk. He has no sense of risk in the stock market. He may make money sometimes, but no matter how much money he makes, he will lose it all.

And in fact, he has raised this issue with Li Weidong many times. This is also the professional ethics that a qualified professional manager should have.

Make reasonable suggestions to the boss within a certain range. It doesn't matter whether the boss accepts it or not. If you feel that you are not being taken seriously, you can submit your resignation.

Xu Yandeng only made suggestions due to his duties. Whether Li Weidong adopts them or not, he will not be able to resign.

Moreover, from the first time he made this suggestion to now, the Nasdaq has more than doubled again. He is a little embarrassed, but he still insists that the risks are getting higher and higher.

Now the boss is finally ready to cash out his high position. Although I don't know if it is related to his suggestion, he finally showed his strength.

Making less money and losing money are two concepts with fundamental differences. It is better to make less money than lose money.

In fact, many people will do the opposite. They sell too early, make less money, and sigh and regret that they did not sell. If they lose money, they keep it in their hearts and will never tell outsiders, otherwise it will appear that their level is low!

"Since 1994, the entire index has risen five or six times. Even a bull market must end, and the end of this bull market will never be gentle. This is a mad bull and will definitely cause an avalanche!"

"If there is no suitable way to sell these stocks in a short period of time, it may have a huge impact and even become the trigger for the Nasdaq collapse!" Xu Yanden said with some alarmism.

Several people in the office used to work in investment banks, and have been dealing with finance since then. Naturally, they are very familiar with the charm of finance. The situation Xu Yanden mentioned is not impossible, and the possibility is relatively high.

"Mr. Xu, this is why I asked you for help. We don't plan to sell it in a short time. The chairman gave us six months!" Zou Yi looked at Xu Yanden and said with a smile.

Xu Yandeng felt a little embarrassed for a moment. There was something in Zou Yi's words, which meant that he should stop showing off. Everyone knows this truth.

The market has only two directions, rising and falling. Now that it has risen so much, the probability of falling will naturally increase.

"Six months?" Xu Yanden glanced at Li Weidong, and when he got a look of confirmation, he felt confident. He also knew why he didn't say six months just now because he had been fooled by Zou Yi.

Since Li Weidong said this, it means that the U.S. stock market will not have major systemic problems within six months. Of course, it also means that it may collapse at any time after six months.

"If it's six months, there's plenty of time. If it's done properly, there shouldn't be any problems." Xu Yanden looked at Zou Yi and said calmly.

Zou Yi couldn't do anything about this look. The financial market was changing rapidly, especially the stock market in the United States, and she didn't know much about it. With other people, not to mention Li Weidong, she didn't feel at ease, otherwise there would be nothing wrong with Xu Yandeng.

Xu Yanden has been working hard in the US stock market for several years. He is considered a senior stock investor. He has a relatively deep understanding of the US stock market and must have met a group of fund managers and has a certain network of relationships.

Acquire funds at a low position, raise prices in a group, build momentum in the media, and cash out at a high position to cut leeks. This process is familiar to everyone!

"That's good. You and Mr. Zou have a good communication about this matter, and I'll leave it to you two to handle it. Of course, it's best to find consortiums like Sequoia, DFJ, Goldman Sachs, IDG, KPCB, SoftBank, and Yahoo shares. Not that there are already many

The consortium is interested, that’s great!” Li Weidong said.

"So far, we have received inquiries from more than a dozen investment institutions!" Jiang Zhili said in response to the situation.

"Well, let's talk carefully. It's okay to discount a part of the price, but you have to prepare both hands!" Li Weidong still hopes in his heart to let these large consortiums take over.

This will have a relatively small impact on small investors. If there is an opportunity to cheat these consortiums, naturally they cannot let it go, especially the stupid SoftBank. If they cheat them more, they will not have so much energy to invest everywhere.

After Li Weidong finished speaking, others naturally had no other opinions, but Li Shihui stood waiting anxiously. The stocks were sold, so there must be a place to save so much money!

It would be great if they could put it into Minsheng Bank's account. This would increase their assets by a lot and make Minsheng Bank rise a few rankings every minute.

Moreover, Minsheng Bank is also in urgent need of opening up the market in the United States. If it has so much funds, it will be extremely beneficial to its development.

Since its establishment, Minsheng Bank has not stopped its pace of expansion. It has grown from scratch in China and has grown from small to large. Currently, it has more than 30 provincial branches, hundreds of sub-branches, and countless branches across the country.

Companies under Li Weidong's name basically open company accounts at Minsheng Bank, and their employees are paid wages. To ensure financial security, all cash payments are prohibited, and all are paid to salary cards through Minsheng Bank.

Minsheng Bank suddenly added countless customers and deposits, becoming a large national commercial bank. Of course, their steps towards internationalization have not stopped.

Not long after their establishment, Chang Tai Bank and Wanli Bank on Hong Kong Island became subsidiaries of Minsheng Bank through equity operations, and completed the name change registration, suddenly becoming the bank with the most overseas branches of domestic commercial banks.

Later, branches or representative offices were established in major economies around the world, but it was difficult to achieve the same speed of development in China.

To quickly expand the scale of a company, mergers and acquisitions are an excellent way!

Acquiring local banks is undoubtedly the best way to quickly integrate into the local area and gain recognition from local people. This is what Li Shihui wants to do, but the biggest obstacle to this is funding.

The bank he acquired was too small and meaningless, and the big one was short of money. Li Shihui was now in a dilemma, taking too big a step and hurting himself!
