696 [One Door, Three Fathers and Sons]
On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head.
At just after 7 o'clock in the morning, there was a long queue at the side gate of the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Some are high-level employees of Xianjiu Group, and some are many media reporters who have been invited, chatting and waiting for the staff to open the door.
Seeing that the time was almost up, the major shareholders of Xianjiu Group finally appeared.
To the surprise of the reporters, it was neither Song Weiyang, nor Song Shumin and Song Qizhi who walked to the front, but an old man in his seventies and eighties with a cane.
The old man was dressed in a brand-new tunic and had two pens in his breast pocket, instantly reminiscent of the fashionable outfits of the 80s. Song Shumin and Song Qizhi stood on the left and right of the old man respectively, and the father and son leaned back slightly, reaching out to support his arm, as if they were afraid that the old man would fall.
Song Weiyang stood further behind, and most of the people who walked with him were his father's heroes from the dragon.
It's just that there are only four of these entrepreneurial veterans left. One died of illness a few years ago; one embezzled the company's funds and was persuaded to retire, and even the shares were repurchased and the embezzled part was deducted from them; and the other two could not keep up with the company's development rhythm and retired long ago to receive dividends every year.
The real estate company invested by Xianjiu Group has severed its relationship with the parent company before applying for listing, and the specific equity distribution follows the normal procedure.
Time passed, and everyone finally came to the small hall where the gong ceremony was held.
Song Qizhi and the old man stood in the C position, and Song Qizhi read according to the script: "Hello everyone, guests! At this moment, I am extremely excited about this situation. Twenty-four years ago, my father, Mr. Song Shumin, a young man from Shenghai, led several young people in the village to start a wine-making workshop. After another nine years, the brewery grew and acquired a local state-owned winery. From the workshop to the winery, my father, and his business partners, have been through many ups and downs. I took over the burden from my predecessors, trembling, walking on thin ice, grateful and apprehensive...... The words of gratitude are endless, and the best way to be grateful is to keep working hard. We must strive to do a good job in products, return to the consumers who support us, we must do a good job in the company, and return the majority of employees and investors. In just over 10 minutes, our stock will start trading, which is a new start for Xianjiu Group. Now that I have finished my remarks, I would like to invite our old factory director, Mr. Chen Zhonghua, to speak! Thank you!"
"Bang bang bang!"
There was a burst of applause, and everyone knew that the old man was the former factory director.
Chen Zhonghua was in good spirits today, he didn't read the manuscript, straightened his waist and said: "My name is Chen Zhonghua, when I was the factory director, Xianjiu was not called Xianjiu." The distillery existed before the liberation, but it was a capitalist distillery. I grew up in the old society, and when I was 16 years old, my mother gave me a basket of eggs as a gift and I was apprenticed to a winery. Later, when the People's Republic of China was founded, the workers not only turned over and became masters, but also organized everyone to learn cultural knowledge. I learned to write my own name in the winery, I begged my wife to start a family in the winery, and then I joined the party and became a cadre, the winery is my home, and the winery workers are my relatives!"
The old man was a little verbose, but everyone listened to it with relish.
Especially those financial reporters, I feel that the old man's speech is very fresh, and it is much more interesting than those bosses who shout slogans when they go public.
Chen Zhonghua continued: "At some point, the distillery got sick, and I, the factory manager, was not a good doctor, so the workers in the field followed me. I reached retirement age again, and I was replaced by a bastard factory director, and the factory was completely yellowed. At that time, the city decided to sell the distillery to Xiao Song, but I did not agree, how can there be any reason for a private enterprise to merge with a state-owned enterprise? I, a retired old man, have also done the foolish thing of blocking the gate of the secretary and the mayor. But soon I realized that I was wrong, Xiao Song did a good job in the factory, and the workers were able to receive monthly wages again. Later, something unpleasant happened, thanks to the two little songs, that is, Song Qizhi and Song Weiyang, they could afford it, invited me back to the factory as a consultant, and gave me some shares. I'm very pleased that the distillery has grown to the size it is now. I'm going to go public again today, and even if I die, I can die blindly......"
After all, Chen Zhonghua was too old, and he was still organized when he first started to speak, but gradually began to repeat verbosity.
Song Qizhi glanced at the wall clock on the wall and reminded in a low voice: "Old factory director, the time is almost up." ”
Chen Zhonghua smiled: "What I want to talk about has already been finished, thank you!"
Originally, Song Qizhi wanted Chen Zhonghua to ring the gong, but the old man resolutely disagreed.
I saw Song Shumin, Song Qizhi, and Song Weiyang standing side by side, holding the drumsticks at the same time, and the countdown to the collective shouting sounded at the scene: "10, 9, 8...... 2、1!”
"Boom!"
With a muffled sound, the stock opened.
Everyone looked up at the screen in the small hall and was taken aback, because the opening price was as high as 30 yuan. The issue price of immortal liquor is only 25 yuan, and the price limit is directly opened...... It is also unknown what exactly happened during the collective auction phase.
Song Qizhi was surprised and said inexplicably: "This is too fierce, right?"
"It's normal. Song Weiyang said with a smile.
On the first day of 2006, China's stock market got off to a good start, with both the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets soaring.
Hongdu Airlines, a demon stock that rose by nearly 200% last year, will rise by more than 400% this year, which shows how crazy the stock market was in 2006.
At this time, Song Weiyang's family business was listed, even if you don't look at the specific situation of Xianjiu Group, and only put out the name of Song Weiyang, the richest man in China, everyone is still rushing to invest!
Financial reporters were particularly excited and rushed to interview Song Weiyang.
"Mr. Song, as a stock god recognized by the public, did you guess that your stock would directly open and rise to the limit?" a reporter almost shoved the microphone into Song Weiyang's mouth.
Song Weiyang smiled: "First of all, I am not a god. Secondly, thank you to the investors for their love. ”
The reporter said: "Mr. Song is too modest, you predicted last year that China will usher in a big bull market this year." Now that your prophecy has been fulfilled, what is it not a god?"
Song Weiyang said: "China's stock market has had a good start this year, and it has risen particularly sharply, mainly because of the further opening up to foreign investment. Since the day of opening up foreign capital to enter the market in January, there has been a large influx of foreign capital, which has given a great stimulus to the Chinese stock market, and Xianjiu Group has caught up with the good times. ”
Another reporter asked: "Mr. Song, then you predict, can the immortal wine still rise tomorrow?"
Song Weiyang resisted the urge to roll his eyes: "I am an entrepreneur, not a fortune teller." ”
Song Shumin also surrounded many reporters because he was the father of China's richest man, but he refused all interviews after he was released from prison. Over the years, I don't know how many reporters want to interview Song Shumin, and today I finally got a good opportunity.
These reporters asked a few questions about immortal wine, and then took the subject off the rails.
The reporter asked: "Mr. Song, how did you train your two sons so well, can you reveal the secret of education?"
Song Shumin asked rhetorically: "Are you sure you are a financial reporter, not a gossip reporter?"
Everyone laughed.
The reporter asked again: "As the father of the richest man, you are also an entrepreneur, will you usually have pressure?"
Song Shumin said: "What pressure can there be? Even if he becomes the head of the earth, he is still my son." ”
The reporter continued to ask: "At home, do you discuss business matters with your two sons? For example, do you consult Mr. Song Weiyang on decision-making in the company you manage?"
"Sorry, I don't want to talk about this, I only answer the question about the listing of Xianjiu today. Song Shumin smiled.
can force financial reporters into gossip reporters, which shows how low-key Song Shumin usually is.
Today's real protagonist Song Qizhi has been left out in the cold, and there are only a few reporters around him.
After another 30 minutes, that is, at ten o'clock in the morning, the immortal liquor resumed trading after the daily limit, only to see the stock price continue to jump up.
At about 11:20, the share price of Xianjiu finally jumped to 36 yuan, and the limit was raised again!
This is today's closing price, the first day of the new shares on the first day of A-share listing, there is only one chance to resume trading, and the highest price shall not be higher than 144% of the issue price.
"Bang bang bang!"
Everyone in the small hall stood up collectively and applauded thunderously, celebrating the perfect ending of the immortal wine listing.
Looking at liquor stocks such as Wuliangye, Luzhou Laojiao, and Moutai, they are also red across the board. Moutai's share price has risen to 50 yuan, and it fell below 20 yuan three years ago, and it has only risen but not fallen since then, and it is estimated that it will approach the 60 yuan mark in two months. Luzhou Laojiao is even more terrifying, last year's financial report was issued, and there were several price limits in January.
The next day, the national financial newspapers all published photos of the Song family's father and son beating the gong hand in hand.
There are three fathers and sons, all of whom are rich...... Well, all entrepreneurs!
This situation is more common in the business world, such as the owner of Sanzhu Oral Liquid, and his two sons are also in business. But they are all engaged in the health care products business, while the three fathers and sons of the Song family are different, Song Weiyang is engaged in beverage and food and high-tech, Song Qizhi is engaged in wine companies, and Song Shumin is engaged in real estate.
The father and son each do their own thing, and they mix well in different fields, which is relatively rare.
The main reporting direction of financial publications is also related to the listing of Xianjiu, and soon other media also followed suit, reporting on the three fathers and sons of the Song family from different angles.
Even, a reporter in Xikang Province who once interviewed Song Shumin in depth even published a book this year, called "The Song Dynasty in China's Business Circles". This guy takes Song Shumin's life experience as the main line, and cooperates with the deeds of Song Weiyang and Song Qizhi, and almost writes a celebrity biography, but there are more blind plots that add oil and vinegar.
The book also speculated on the education model of the Song family, saying that Song Shumin has always been very concerned about the growth of children, and has sent two children back to the countryside for winter and summer vacations since he was a child. Even after the Song family distillery became bigger, for a long time, Song Weiyang and Song Qizhi lived in the countryside, and tempered their children's will through the harsh environment of the countryside, which laid a solid foundation for the two brothers to develop in the business field in the future.
It's all, Song Shumin threw his two sons in the countryside because the couple couldn't do business too much, so they could only let their father-in-law and mother-in-law take care of them from generation to generation!
The reporter also interviewed Song Weiyang's elementary school classmates, and recorded many events in his childhood in the book. For example, on one occasion, Song Weiyang went down to the river to bathe with other children, and before he learned to swim, he swam to the middle of the river with a piece of wood. Suddenly fell down, Song Weiyang did not panic and shouted, but held his breath and waved his arms to slap the water, and finally touched the piece of wood again, and swam back to the shore silently.
The friends found out afterwards that Song Weiyang almost drowned just now.
What does this mean?
It shows that Song Weiyang has dared to take risks and explore since he was a child, and he is not panicked when he encounters crises, and he has an incomparably strong psychological quality.
In fact, Song Weiyang was so panicked at that time, forcing his eyes to shoot randomly, and he wanted to call for help but choked on a few mouthfuls of water, and it was pure luck that he was not drowned.
This broken book did not have the permission of the Song family and his son, so he dared to open the printing and distribution, and the genuine book sold more than 300,000 copies within half a year, and the pirated sales were even more difficult to count. In the years that followed, many of the reports about the Song family's father and son came from the records of this book.
Even those educational institutions in society got inspiration from this book and began to set up "rural summer camps". Bringing urban children to the countryside to experience life and cultivating their strong will – the successful precedent of the two Song brothers, coupled with the fact that urban children have always been pampered, this project is actually very popular.
The only thing the Song family father and son could do was to send a lawyer's letter to the author of the book.
