If Tencent chooses to list on the NASDAQ, as long as it operates properly, it is likely to make several times as much money as the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in the short term. Because Chinese online stocks have soared so fast after the dot-com winter has passed, U.S. investors have inexplicably huge confidence in Chinese websites.

Historically, from January to October 2003, the stock prices of NetEase, Sohu, and Sina increased by 3,500 yuan as a whole, of which NetEase's stock price was nearly $60 at its peak, followed by Sohu's stock price, which once reached $45, and Sina's stock price also exceeded $40.

Of course, this inflated stock price caused some investors to be wary, so it began to fall back in November, and by the end of the year it had fallen back to more than $30.

And this time and space, because Song Weiyang threw out the E20 concept in advance, the NASDAQ became even more popular. In addition, he is also a shareholder of Sohu and NetEase, so the stock prices of the two companies have been speculated higher, and of course they have fallen more ruthlessly, and they are generally slightly better than the original time and space.

Therefore, when Hu Shuli interviewed Song Weiyang, she said that Song Weiyang's net worth was as high as 30 billion yuan in the stocks of those listed companies alone! Just looking at the market value of NetEase, it exceeded $2 billion at its peak in October, which has already surpassed Wall Street's valuation of Google. It's a pity that the stocks that haven't been cashed out are all paper, and NetEase's market value fell by $500 million in the next two months - a large number of investment institutions cashed out, causing NetEase's stock price to plummet, and Sohu and Sina were in a similar situation.

After New Year's Day, the stock prices of NetEase, Sohu, and Sina rose again, and investment institutions seemed to think that the leeks were almost cut, and they ran out to raise the stock price and plan to speculate again. In the following 2004, NetEase's stock price hovered between $30 and $60, and Sohu's stock price was between $25 and $40.

In this case, it may be because China is too far away, and American investors are not clear about the specific situation, and they are particularly vulnerable to various off-market information.

And one of the reasons why Xiao Ma chose to be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is that he doesn't want to be repeatedly tossed by the Yankees. Theoretically, the closer a company's listing location is to the home market, the closer the response to the company's market capitalization will be. Listing in Hong Kong City will certainly not make so much money, but there will be fewer cases of stock price ups and downs, which is a good thing for Tencent, which is pursuing long-term development.

In addition, Tencent's business model cannot find a benchmark in the United States, and similar products Q, Yahoo Messenger, and SN are not independent companies in the United States, and there is no stable profit model for the time being. This is difficult to get the approval of the Yankees, because they generally believe that only the Internet model that has matured in the United States is worth investing in, and they only listen to stories made up by Americans and are not willing to pay for a Chinese story.

There is also the conscience of Brother Xiaoma, he wants to fulfill the promise he once made.

Brother Xiao Ma promised options to Tencent's early core employees and wanted to complete the purchase before the PO was listed. To put it bluntly, it is a bit similar to before Xifeng's listing, Song Weiyang sold original shares to the majority of employees, but Tencent's behavior of cashing out options was more direct and generous.

In the United States, this is a violation of the rules of the capital market and the interests of investors, but it is generally recognized in Hong Kong City.

"Forbes magazine wants to give you an interview," Shen Si reminded, "Forbes has contacted Taurus Capital several times before this, hoping to obtain some detailed data from Taurus Capital so that they can compile the list of global billionaires." ”

"No!" Song Weiyang didn't bother to pay attention.

Shen Si also said: "Forbes also sent a table, which is a statistical table of your personal assets, hoping to get your confirmation, of course, you can also choose to refuse." ”

Song Weiyang suddenly became a little interested: "Show me." ”

Shen Si immediately handed over the handheld computer, and Song Weiyang briefly browsed it and found that Forbes's estimation of his shareholding in Taurus Capital was less than 5. At first glance, I was a little surprised, but I was soon relieved, because several shareholders of Taurus Capital are listed companies, and many things can be deduced from the statements of these listed companies.

In the blink of an eye, the "2003 Global Billionaire List" compiled by Forbes was finally released, and the "Global Chinese Rich List" and "Asian Rich List" were also announced.

Song Weiyang, nationality (China), age (28 years old), assets ($6.5 billion), source (diversified investment). Ranked 52nd in the world, 4th in Asia, and 3rd in the world. This is Song Weiyang's basic message.

Due to the decline in the stock prices of NetEase and Sohu, Song Weiyang's personal assets are 500 million US dollars less than last year.

But the overall ranking is rising, especially the Asia's richest list. The two Saudi princes, who ranked first and fourth last year, have somehow lost their assets and have fallen out of the top five of Asia's richest list. Now the richest man in Asia is Li Chaoren, the second richest man is the Japanese Ben George family, and the third richest man is the Kwok family in Hong Kong City, and Song Weiyang soared directly to the fourth place. As for Masayoshi Son, who once became the richest man in the world for more than 10 days, he is now almost unable to keep even the top 20 on the list of Asia's richest people.

The first sensation is the port city, where the media stares at the Forbes rich list every year, and there are only a few familiar names that come and go.

Now due to the shrinkage of the collective assets of the wealthy people in Hong Kong City, except for Li Chaoren and the Guo family, everyone else has been left behind by Song Weiyang. What about the god of stocks? What about the guide of the Internet industry? The first label on Song Weiyang's forehead is always mainland China. But this mainland boy soared into the sky, with a net worth of 200 million US dollars more than Li Zhaoji, and almost entered the top 50 of the world's richest list!

In fact, with the difference in wealth from 48th to 55th on the list of the world's richest people not exceeding $100 million, Song Weiyang only needs tens of millions more to enter the top 50 - since the 2001 Internet winter, the world's richest people have been plummeting in assets, so much so that $6.5 billion is eligible to be in the top 50 of the rich list.

So Song Weiyang has a new nickname, which was given to him by the media in Hong Kong City - Buffett in the mainland and Li Chaoren in the mainland.

Although Song Weiyang's current assets are only a little more than half of Li Chaoren's, everyone thinks that he can already be compared with Li Chaoren. The main reason is that Song Weiyang is too young, he is not yet 30 years old this year, and he has unlimited development prospects in the future, and some people even speculate that when he is 30 years old, his personal assets can catch up with Li Chaoren.

The Hong Kong media began to report on Song Weiyang again, and many even turned over the previous articles and published them again. However, this time, the "Golden Bull Business School" unexpectedly became the focus of the report, and was compared in detail with Li Chaoren's "Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business" by the Hong Kong media, so Xifeng's stock price began to rise day after day.

Many stock commentators stood up and poured cold water, saying that Xifeng's stock price is a little ridiculously high, and advised investors to be aware of the risks.

Although the mainland media is not as crazy as the Hong Kong media, it is even more exaggerated, because Song Weiyang is the only person in the mainland who has made it to the top 100 of the world's richest list. Even "News Network" reported solemnly: "Recently, the Forbes Global Billionaires List announced that Mr. Song Weiyang, a famous entrepreneur in China, ranked 52nd on the list with personal assets of $6.5 billion......"

Then Hurun came to the door: "Boss, congratulations!"

"What are you going to do?" said Song Weiyang with a smile.

Hurun said: "You know what? Now some people call you 'China Buffett.'" ”

"Yes. Song Weiyang said.

"Then why don't you follow Buffett's example and hold a 'Song Weiyang Charity Dinner' every year?" Hurun said excitedly, "I can take full responsibility for this, you just need to come out to eat and chat, and it won't take up more of your time." ”

Song Weiyang said: "Warren Buffett's charity dinner is not just as simple as eating a meal, it is equivalent to a large-scale charity show, and more people are participating every year. ”

Hurun said: "We don't need to be so public, we can do it a little more restrained. ”

"I'll think about it," Mr. Song said, "and I'll give you an accurate answer when I get back from the United States." ”

"No problem!" Hurun said happily.

Google is not preparing to go public, Song Weiyang is going to the United States for a meeting in person. Of course, he could also send someone to participate, but he happened to go abroad to relax, and by the way, he went to invest in a newly established company.

Song Weiyang has always kept people paying attention to the dynamics of Harvard University, and Faebook was finally launched half a month ago, and now more than half of Harvard's students have become registered users.
