It was late at night when I landed in New York from Orange County on the West Coast across the United States. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Lin Feng and his entourage stayed at the Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel.

The reason why I didn't choose the Peninsula New York Hotel, which Lin Feng likes very much, is because the location of Sheraton is closer, it only takes 5 minutes to walk to Times Square from the hotel, and it will be more convenient to go to the NASDAQ exchange tomorrow.

Although it was late, everyone could not rest for the time being.

Lin Feng and the roadshow team also had to work with the staff of the Nasdaq exchange to determine the schedule for the day of listing.

In fact, as the first listed company from China in the NASDAQ market in the past three years, the listing of Menglong can be said to have received great attention from the entire US capital market and the NASDAQ exchange.

The success of Menglong's roadshow and the oversubscription of 18 times also made all relevant personnel look forward to the stock price of Menglong on the day of listing!

According to the practice of the NASDAQ, a company listed on the first day can ring the opening bell of the NASDAQ exchange, indicating that the company's shares are officially listed for trading.

Of course, sometimes they are invited to ring the closing bell of the exchange, such as when Baidu was listed, Robin Li rang the closing bell.

Both the opening and closing bells are a very important ceremony of the NASDAQ exchange.

That is, what people usually call it, going public ringing the bell.

For many founders who are preparing to go public, ringing the bell for listing is also one of the most glorious moments in his entrepreneurial career!

It is from the moment the bell rings that the market opens, and the company he founded will officially enter the capital market.

The shares of the company in his hands will become billions of real money, the company he owns will henceforth be transformed from a private company into a public company, and he will no longer be responsible for the employees of the entire company, but for the tens of millions of shareholders and investors scattered all over ......the world.

This is a qualitative change.

Whether it is a listed company or the founder of the company, it will be well-known because of this, and it is the so-called fame in one fell swoop.

Especially in this era when China has just entered the WTO and is involved in economic globalization, there are still very few overseas listed companies.

The listing of Menglong has attracted the attention of the financial fields of China and the United States.

Lin Feng will be invited to ring the opening bell of the Nasdaq market tomorrow morning.

After a detailed review of the listing process, the NASDAQ personnel said goodbye and left, so that everyone could take a little rest.

It was already 3 o'clock in the evening, and the next day, they had to get up early, which was to sleep for three hours at most, but after this period of training, everyone got used to it.

…………

29 October 2003. New York, sunny.

The wind and the sun are beautiful, and it is a good weather.

Lin Feng was dressed up by Ye Weiyu and put on a dark blue suit that the two of them took the time to go to the Davies.Son store in "SavileRow" (SavileRow) when they were in London, and the cut was very close, with a red and blue floral tie, which was not only suitable for a more solemn occasion like going public, but also lost its youthful and bright temperament.

After seeing Lin Feng wearing the clothes she selected, Ye Wei praised proudly: "So handsome! Lin Feng, you are the best today!"

For herself, she chose a simple but elegant outfit: a beautifully tailored Prabal Gurung white short-sleeved dress, Giuseppe Zanotti gold heels, a Jimmy Choo pouch, and no jewelry other than a Chanel Première watch on her wrist.

It was a little cool in the morning, and she put on a thin black long trench coat over the white dress, and the simple black and white combination made her even more elegant and decent.

Lin Feng hugged her and kissed her lightly, and said with a smile: "Yezi, you are also beautiful today!"

A thought suddenly crossed my mind.

After having breakfast in the hotel's restaurant, and also having a short meeting with Li Dong, Wang Hao, and the accompanying company executives, and arranging many matters such as media interviews, noon celebration receptions, and domestic guest invitations, everyone walked to the exchange together.

The NASDAQ market opens at 9:30 EST (local time in New York), and the company executives and accompanying teams of listed companies such as Lin Feng (including relatives and friends, investment banking staff in charge of underwriting, law firm staff, public relations, etc.) generally need to arrive at the NASDAQ exchange early to do some preparation and rehearsal.

When he came to the exchange, Lin Feng met with the executives of the NASDAQ, but he did not expect that Menglong was just a company with a valuation of less than 2 billion US dollars, and it was actually the president of the NASDAQ who came forward in person, which also showed that the NASDAQ exchange attached great importance to this Chinese company that landed for the first time in several years.

It also confirms Lin Feng's understanding of the significance of letting Menglong go public first.

Follow the schedule.

Before the market opens, a video will be played on the big screen in the exchange, which is an introduction to the upcoming listing of Menglong Company.

Then, Robert Greifeld, President of NASDAQ, delivered a speech, in which he warmly expressed his welcome to the listing of Menglong on NASDAQ, saying that Menglong Technology is a very excellent and fast-growing high-tech company in China and a representative enterprise of China's market economic growth...... Finally, he wished that Menglong Company would be welcomed by the U.S. capital market after the opening, and the stock price would rise sharply.

Subsequently, it was Lin Feng who spoke.

Standing on the podium, he looked at the crowd in the audience, Ye Weiyu, Li Dong, Wang Hao, Xu Qian (IR director), Zhang Yan (vice president of marketing), Wang Huiyao (vice president of sales), Fei Yang (entrepreneurial veteran), Liu Hui (vice president of technology, entrepreneurial veteran), Han Xiao (entrepreneurial veteran), ...... These people accompanied him, and after a two-year journey, he finally came to this day.

"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming, we have spent more than two years on NASDAQ. But we still have a long way to go, and we have only achieved a small phase of results. Here I would like to thank every Menglong colleague, whether it is the people who are still in Menglong, or the people who left Menglong to create a new direction of our business, it is you who have created Menglong today. I'm so proud of each and every one of you. Today belongs to every Menglong employee and every family member. Thank you!

Lin Feng was also very excited at the moment.

Although it is only the listing of Menglong, although he has repeatedly said that he is just using Menglong Company to make a lot of money in the United States...... , but standing on the NASDAQ podium at this moment, he couldn't help but recall his past life, where he had longed for success countless times, and failed again and again to sink ...... sand.

remembered that he and Wang Hao started their business in that small apartment, and remembered that before the business access, he was afraid of the infinite fear in his heart countless times at night, and he was afraid that if he failed to start a business, he would repeat the mistakes of his previous life again, and the infinite fear in his heart .......

Along the way, outsiders seem to have had a smooth ride, but in fact, as the boss of the company, the person who guides the direction and makes every key decision, Lin Feng always hides a worry in his heart, what if the world is not like the previous life? What if because of his arrival, under the butterfly effect, what if the decision he made is wrong?

It is under such worries that he desperately excavates talents, eager to dig up all the big bulls in the industry to the company. In this way, even if his decision is wrong, there are many abilities that can help him and correct him.

Until this moment, Lin Feng finally felt a trace of relief.

Menglong went public, his first stage goal was achieved, with hundreds of millions of dollars in cash in his hands, many things have room for correction and turnaround, as long as the world does not change significantly, he no longer worries about the company's death will ......come suddenly.

The last word of thanks, his tone didn't feel a little shaky, and he bowed deeply.

Applause!

Everyone in the audience looked at their spiritual leader with great enthusiasm and excitement.

Who would have thought that the young college graduate back then fooled them into starting a business together, and in just two years, he really came to this day!

At this moment, they all worship this leader who seems to be able to never go wrong, has infinite rivers and mountains in his heart, and has a vision of the future!

It's almost time to ring the bell.

Under the leadership of Lin Feng, Ye Weiyu, Li Dong, Wang Hao and other company executives and entrepreneurial veterans who were present walked up to the bell platform together.

The so-called bell ringing of the NASDAQ is actually a button in the middle of the bell stand, and when the button is pressed, it is considered to ring the bell to open the market.

Lin Feng stood in the middle, Ye Weiyu stood on his right hand, and Wang Hao, as the co-founder, stood on his left hand, lined up on both sides.

At this time, the bell music of the NASDAQ exchange has sounded.

Everyone applauded and poured for tens of seconds. Looking forward to the time.

With the countdown, everyone's heartbeat accelerated......

Ye Wei's whisper came from his ears: "Lin Feng, congratulations!"

Lin Feng turned his head to look at Ye Weiyu's face, which had haunted him countless times in his past and present lives, gently took her hand, and took her finger and put it on the screen button on the stage.

"Leaf, you press it!"

Ye Weiyu looked up at him in surprise, at this moment, the time was up!

Lin Feng smiled, pressed Ye Weiyu's finger, and officially rang the bell!

“RingsNASDAQopeningBell!”“ oh，yeah!“

The red confetti fell down from the sky (the color of the logo of Menglong Company). The crowd cheered in unison.

At this moment, Lin Feng made a move that shocked everyone in the NASDAQ exchange.

He turned around, hugged Ye Weiyu tightly, and lowered his head to kiss it!

"Wow!" everyone on and off the stage applauded enthusiastically, which is a rare scene seen at the Nasdaq exchange bell ringing ceremony!

Warm and open Americans love this kind of romantic scene the most, and suddenly the flashing lights of countless media are lit up.

"Ye Zi, thank you for your company!" his lips parted, looking at Ye Weiyu's blushing face, Lin Feng laughed in a low voice.

…………

After this romantic interlude, the NASDAQ officially opened.

The listing team has more than ten minutes before the inquiry, and they can take photos in Times Square outside. This kind of opportunity is rare to encounter several times in a lifetime, and the executives of Menglong Company have taken various pictures.

Lin Feng and Ye Weiyu stood in front of Times Square hand in hand, only to see the huge screen of the NASDAQ, constantly replaying the moment when the bell was ringed, and the picture of the two kissing, Ye Weiyu felt that her head was almost unable to raise her head.

"Lin Feng, you crazy person, why did you kiss me at that time, what a shame!" Ye Wei said angrily.

Lin Feng smiled: "You forgot, my nickname is crazy...... , Yezi, really, I'm so grateful to fate that I still have you!"

Ye Weiyu was a little confused: "What are you talking about?

Lin Feng smiled without saying a word and hugged her into his arms.

What he didn't know was that the picture of the two kissing at the NASDAQ bell ringing ceremony made the headlines of major financial media around the world the next day, calling it "an enviable young billionaire" and "a romance from China".

After the NASDAQ staff invited everyone back to the exchange, the inquiry began!
