Chapter 188: NASDAQ Listing
"I read the information that Yimin Netfinance has been established for less than two years.
In just 21 months, a NASDAQ-listed company was created.
My God, this is truly an amazing miracle.
I really want to go to China, a magical land. ”
I don't know if Goldman Sachs has given Anna any benefits, the sycophants are simply earth-shattering.
"That's very welcome!
When Miss Anna arrives in China, she must go to the capital Zhongguancun to see, which is China's "Silicon Valley", and entrepreneurship is in full swing. ”
Zhang Yida did not forget to dig wells, and gave a wave of advertisements to "Zhongguancun".
Anna flipped through the transcript of the interview and moved on to the next question, asking:
"Mr. Zhang Yida, the Jingcheng University where you are currently studying is said to be the top university in China.
Only 140 people are admitted each year in your home province of Sichuan and Shu, and the contenders are 560,000......
A one-to-four thousand acceptance rate!
Was it your family that provided you with an elitist education from an early age?"
"No, I went to public school from kindergarten to high school.
My family is not rich, just an ordinary family. Neither of my parents went to college and opened a small processing factory......"
Entrepreneurs must adhere to the character of "ordinary family", and Zhang Yida is no exception.
The rich second generation starts a business and succeeds, and no one will sing praises.
Failed, sorry, everyone doesn't mind stepping on two feet.
Mr. Zhang Yida also has a bike-sharing company called Huimin Bicycle, which has settled in more than 100 cities in China and put 1.7 million bicycles in the city for people to ride. ”
Anna first introduced the Huimin bicycle, and then asked:
"Huimin Bicycle has now entered Singapore, will it enter the United States in the future?"
"Of course, we're already planning this.
My goal is to make most countries in the world fall in love with this green way of traveling, reducing carbon emissions and air pollution......"
Zhang Yida said righteously, instantly turning into an environmental protection fighter.
In addition to being an environmental fighter, Mr. Zhang Yida is also an animal activist.
He has a pet e-commerce company called Peter.com, which provides online shopping for pet goods, pet medical care, custody, pet socialization...... and many other services.
Every year, Pete will donate a part of its materials to animal protection organizations and stray animal shelter organizations......"
The two talked about Pete.com, and Zhang Yida continued:
In addition to what Miss Anna mentioned above, Petra.com has also established pet love organizations in various cities in China and recruited a large number of volunteers.
The concept that Petech has always promoted is: respect for every life and treat animals well.
Despite the difficult road ahead, Petra.com will continue to uphold this philosophy and call on more people to join us......"
Petra is definitely one of the most caring animal protection organizations in China, and it is common to see caring volunteers wearing vests printed with the "Pete Logo" to feed stray cats and dogs.
Then this touching scene was uploaded to major websites by the people who "happened to pass by", and then the dog food and cat food sold better and better......
"Keen on public welfare, loans for poverty alleviation. This is also a label of Mr. Zhang Yida.
Mr. Zhang Yida's Huinong Loan Company has granted hundreds of millions of dollars in low-interest start-up loans to poor families in remote mountainous areas of China.
The loan targets are farmers, herders and handicraft workers.
After they get the loans, they use them to buy the means of production, expand their operations, and get rid of poverty.
This model of microfinance can be traced back to the Grameen Bank of Bangladesh, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Professor Yunus of Bangladesh.
At present, the loan has benefited 50,000 households......"
"This kind of entrepreneurial loan helps to motivate a person.
The poor are sometimes not only economically poor, but also spiritual.
Through this kind of entrepreneurial loan, it can help a person regain a sense of accomplishment and regain confidence in life. ”
Zhang Yida talked eloquently to Anna and began to explain the mystery of this model to her.
"I feel that this model is even better than the "handout" model in our country.
Spiritual poverty, this sentence is so philosophical. ”
Zhang Yida didn't answer, just smiled, the relief model, it is inconvenient for him, a foreigner, to make comments.
Talking nonsense, the black buddies and some white homeless people don't tear him up.
"Well, that's the end of today's interview.
Best wishes to Mr. Zhang and a successful IPO journey. ”
This is the end of the show, Zhang Yida politely declined Anna's request to "have dinner together" and turned out of New York TV.
Anna looked at his departing back with resentment, and said in her heart: What a perfect oriental man!
After the interview program was broadcast, Zhang Yida's popularity in the United States has greatly increased, and many Americans know that China has produced such a 20-year-old entrepreneurial hero.
At the same time, Zhang Yida has also gained a large number of fans, mainly from the three major groups of "environmental protection people", "public welfare people" and "animal protection people".
If you add a black skin that does not exclude the same sex, it will simply fill the "political correctness" skills.
......
The second stop of the Yimin Network Gold Roadshow was Boston, and with the fundraising results of the New York station and interviews and reports from major media, the roadshow was very successful.
After listening to Zhang Yida's business introduction on the stage, representatives of dozens of investment institutions expressed their investment intentions, and finally counted that they intended to subscribe for nearly 200 million US dollars.
Then Atlanta, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Houston, Chicago, Los Angeles and more than a dozen other big cities went to the roadshow, and the total received nearly $2 billion in subscriptions.
Then Zhang Yida led the roadshow team to Hong Kong, London, Singapore and other places, and received more than $2 billion in intended subscriptions.
After nearly 2 weeks of roadshows, the roadshow has finally come to an end.
In the last inventory, the intended subscription amount of Yimin Wangjin Group reached 4.75 billion US dollars, and the oversubscription multiple was nearly 6 times.
In view of the good subscription situation, Goldman Sachs and other brokerages exercised the over-allotment right and set the IPO issue size at 34.5 million ADSs.
The original issue price of $22.5/ADS~$25/ADS was also set at a higher value, and the final issue price was set at $25.
......
9:30 a.m. ET on July 20.
Standing in front of the bell platform printed with the "Nasdaq" logo, Zhang Yida pressed the electronic button, and the colored paper flew on the scene, and the applause and cheers continued.
Fan Hongyang, Ding Siyao, Shen Beipeng, and Chang Changqing, who were standing next to Zhang Yida, were also full of happy smiles and shared this glorious moment together.
Yimin Net Gold (YM. NASDAQ), which opened up 21.2% to close at $30.3, gave it a market capitalization of $7.105 billion. ”
Yimin Net Gold (YM. NASDAQ) was listed on NASDAQ at an issue price of US$25 per ADS, raising US$862.5 million, becoming the first overseas share of a Chinese Internet finance company. ”
The information about the successful listing of Yimin Netgold was quickly sent back to China by domestic reporters who were squatting on the NASDAQ exchange.
One report after another came out quickly:
"Yimin Network Jincheng Internet Finance First Share"
21 Months, $7.105 Billion, A Time to Witness a Miracle
"20-year-old Zhang Yida is the youngest CEO of a listed company on NASDAQ in 44 years"
"Zhang Yida, born after 95, holds 47.51% of the shares of Yimin Netgold, and his worth has risen by another 3.38 billion US dollars"
Zhang Yida's post ringing the bell was also hung on the Weiminghu BBS of Beijing University: "Congratulations to Zhang Yida, an outstanding alumnus of our school, on the successful listing of NASDAQ"
"I rubbed it, and before I graduated from college, the company went public. A passing student commented.
"I thought that when you entered university, everyone was on the same starting line, but you ended up standing at the end of the line. ”
"What the hell is this Yimin Wangjin? Isn't it Ruixiang? It has changed its name? Isn't it valued at 10 billion US dollars? How can it be listed for only 7 billion?
Is it broken?"
"Reply upstairs, Yimin Wangjin and Ruixiang are two independent companies, but there is a common shareholder named Zhang Yida. ”
"Let me take stock of Zhang Yida's business empire: Ruixiang $10 billion, Yimin Internet Gold $7.1 billion, Huimin Bicycle $1.8 billion......"
"Stop it, can't I take it? ”
......
"Yida! I want to die now!"
Zhang Yida took out his mobile phone and saw such a WeChat, accompanied by an emoji that vomited blood.
Zhang Yida smiled, before Xu Xiaoming went public, he jumped out at a valuation of $2 billion, cleared all his shares, and was pouring bitter water with him at this time.
Zhang Yida typed and replied:
"Teacher Xu, it's okay. This stock price is just rising high now, what will be the situation in a year and a half, and I don't know what the situation is?
There are good projects in the back, and you must be the first to think of your old man. ”
Zhang Yida put away his mobile phone and began to be interviewed by reporters.
"Mr. Zhang, can you tell us about your current mood?"
A reporter asked.
"The mood is still very happy, this is my first listed company, and I have put a lot of effort into my entrepreneurial journey......"
Zhang Yida began to blow water with reporters and shared the hardships of starting a business.
Fan Hongyang and Ding Siyao, as co-founders, were also surrounded by reporters and began to interview them.
"May I ask Mr. Fan, how did Mr. Zhang impress you to start a business with him at the beginning?
As far as I know, you gave up Ahri's middle-level position and took a salary cut to enter the start-up stage of Yimin Wangjin. ”
"Yes, that's the thing. At that time, I chatted with Mr. Zhang for an afternoon, and he explained to me the entrepreneurial ideas of Yimin Wangjin......
Then I was impressed, returned to Lin'an, packed my luggage and came to the capital. ”
When Fan Hongyang talked about this, the smile on his face never stopped.
Xindao: This is probably the most correct choice I have made in more than 30 years!
Some reporters also asked Ding Siyao:
"Mr. Ding, it is said that you joined Yimin Netgold shortly after graduating from university and became one of the co-founders.
What kind of opportunity made you join Yimin Netgold?"
I was working as an intern at a loan company, and I happened to meet Mr. Zhang to take out a loan.
I treated him to a meal. Not long after, he invited me to go north to the capital to start a business......"
Ding Siyao glanced at Zhang Yida and said in her heart: Sometimes choice is more important than hard work. With the right person, his fate has been changed.
If I hadn't met Zhang Yida, maybe I would still be in the loan company in Rongcheng!
If you are lucky, you can get a salary of 20,000 or 30,000 yuan a month, and then climb up to the supervisor and manager step by step......
"Mr. Shen, your investment vision is still as good as ever.
When you first invested in Yimin Net Finance, what did you value about them?"
A reporter asked Shen Beipeng a question.
"Investment...... I am firmly optimistic about Zhang Yida, and I have made heavy bets on every one of his entrepreneurial projects.
If you want me to sum up his person, the most outstanding advantage is his forward-looking strategic vision......"
Shen Beipeng said with a smile that he has invested in so many projects with Zhang Yida, and Yimin Netgold is only the first IPO, and I believe that the second and third will not be long after.
