Chapter 556: Roadshow
The roadshow is actually a necessary activity to meet the supply and demand, through which the company will convey the company's prospects and ambitions to investors and shareholders, and investors and shareholders will obtain the specific situation of the company through the roadshow.
But in the final analysis, whether for the company or investors, this is a profit-seeking process, the company through the listing of money, shareholders through investment to make money, the significance of the roadshow is to determine the size of investment.
In today's stock market, what is most optimistic? Finance and technology, and technology is increasingly bullish. So who are the big bulls in the investment field? Lin Fan? Because he's the richest man in the world, there's no one! He has real numbers to prove his investment vision and investment means.
Why did Citi, a delisted bank with a market value of less than $100 billion, rise in market value instead of falling after splitting off its original most valuable business? Of course, it is not only because the owner of Citibank is Lin Fan! More importantly, Citibank is leading a general trend, a general trend of US economic rejuvenation.
Citibank has shown its optimism about the U.S. economy by lending to companies on a large scale when the U.S. was hit by the financial crisis. Businesses get loans to develop and expand, and the homeless can get jobs, and the jobs get wages, so that they can pay for food, consumption, loans, and so on and a good cycle is formed. As a result, the U.S. economy is slowly recovering, and this effect has been called the Citi effect by the U.S. economics community.
It is precisely because of Citi's exemplary role in the economic crisis that the US economy is slowly recovering at a spiral growth rate. And Citi's large loans during this period were rewarded with objective profits and friendships with major companies, because at that time, only Citi was willing to lend.
Therefore, Citi is resurrected with glory and expectation, and the bonus of Lin Fan's prestige makes Citi even more brilliant.
So when Lin Fan appeared at the roadshow, the audience was boiling! Everyone wanted to be closer to this man who was known as the most talented business man in the world, which was an honor!
The bodyguards escorted Lin Fan to the rostrum with difficulty, and the investors in the audience were already shouting Lin Fan's name frantically, until Lin Fan pressed down his hands to signal everyone to be calm, but although everyone was calm, there was still a fire of excitement in everyone's eyes. This is Lin Fan! Known as a god-like man!
Now Lin Fan is not only the idol of the younger generation in the United States, but also the idol of many Wall Street practitioners! Throughout Lin Fan's entire business career, he has a long-term vision and bold actions, and every investment is more like a gamble, but Lin Fan can win every miraculous sword!
"Today is the last roadshow, and in two days, Citi will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange. So don't worry, we will serve Chinese food later, we can talk while eating, and I should answer all your questions. So, starting from the left of the first row today, everyone has three opportunities to ask questions, I won't answer the repeated questions, and if there are no questions, I can signal the next person to ask. ”
Lin Fan dominated the audience with a microphone on the podium, and he did not seem to be responding to a group of Wall Street executives and investors, but giving his own personal speech. There was a look in the eyes of Damon on the side, compared to Lao Cheng's extremely shrewd Da Mo, he suddenly felt that the sharp Lin Fan was very interesting.
"Mr. Lin, can you talk about your thoughts on Citi's valuation of $120 billion when it went public?"
"Of course. Lin Fan put his left hand in his pocket, paced in front of the rostrum, and looked at the audience, "Actually, I think this valuation is low." ”
The audience was in an uproar, from less than 100 billion to 120 billion, which is still low?
"I think it's because of the lack of information, so today I'm going to make an important announcement. Citi has partnered with 32 Japanese companies, including tech giant SoftBank and food giant Sanyo Foods...... After Citi goes public, it will form the seventh largest consortium in Japan with 32 companies, and Citi will take out 5% of the shares for cross-control on a quarter-on-quarter basis, and then Citi will no longer be a simple financial institution, but also a huge industrial group....."
Not surprisingly, the audience was stunned, the amount of information in Lin Fan's words is too great! Cross-holding so many enterprises, once there is Citi's financial support, then these enterprises will surely achieve better development, so Citi can not only obtain loan income but also enjoy share dividends! So what is the market value of Citigroup?
"Mr. Lin, is this news true?"
"Of course, you can then go to Mr. Masayoshi Son of Japan to verify that he will be the chairman of the consortium manager's council. ”
With this news, the atmosphere suddenly became enthusiastic, because everyone clearly realized that as long as they own Citi stocks, it is easy to make money.
"Mr. Lin, do you want to make Citigroup's stock perform more brilliantly at this time when you spread this news at this time?"
Lin Fan smiled, of course it was so, but he wouldn't admit it. "What if Citigroup's stock rises again? Far more than the market value of 120 billion, how much more? 130 billion, 140 billion, 150 billion? What difference does this make to me? Now the difference between 10 billion and 100 million is only how much there is in the back, I don't like money at all, and I don't even know how much money I have. What I like is the feeling of doing miracles! If Citi comes out to the world with a market capitalization that far exceeds what everyone expected, it will be the proudest thing for me!"
......
There is no doubt that Lin Fan has set a record, he is the first company creator to answer all the questions of all the participants at the roadshow! He is also the first company creator to answer the most questions at the roadshow! He will be the youngest bell ringer in the history of the New York Stock Exchange! The video of Lin Fan at the roadshow scene has been wildly circulating on the Internet, in the United States, in China, and all over the world!
At the roadshow scene, Lin Fan, who was sitting on the rostrum, swaying his legs, relaxed freely, and smiling with a smile on his face, left a deep impression on everyone who saw the video, it turned out that he was the richest man in the world!
Huaxia, Chu Chu's face is clear: he still can't change the stinky problem.
Huaxia, Ma Yun looked helpless: I have a sentence MMP that I don't know if to say or not, you have finished loading all the comparisons, what should I do?
Huaxia, Robin Li laughed: My little brother really doesn't take the usual path.
America, Baker has a taste on his face, what a madness!
......
In the blink of an eye, two days have passed, in anticipation, the New York Stock Exchange opened, and then Lin Fan and other people rushed in, in fact, people's psychology is really strange, knowing that Lin Fan is going to create history, but why are you still so excited?
