Chapter 225 Listing

Because of the rich plan, Meng Qian has been in China for a while, and he is busy with the basics on weekdays: enriching the third-generation AI; designing virtual characters; Plan your future route. When he had free time, he also made an appointment with his family and friends, played a few racing games with Liu Jianhao, and challenged his father to score scores.

While he was living a relaxed and leisurely life, the outside world was changing.

The first thing related to him is Wells Fargo Power, which, according to the plans of the new energy empire, will be launched in February next year. Now that the New Year is approaching, the presiding company CEO William Brown. Ryan is preparing for the speech, and then relying on the monopoly of Fuguo Power on the battery car market, it has attracted much attention.

In the past few years, Wells Fargo Power has created many outstanding achievements, first of all, the construction of three major battery factories in the United States, China and India, which will radiate resources well. to the Americas, Asia and Europe. Mature battery technology has also made car companies scramble to launch new models.

Although society as a whole is not fully prepared for the new energy era, behind the scenes, it is allowed to accelerate forward.

The era of new energy vehicles has come ahead of schedule. Although the decline in international oil prices and sluggishness, it has not affected the development momentum of electric vehicles, according to statistics, the global production of electric vehicles this year has reached 3 million, an increase of 45% over last year.

More than 90% of electric vehicles use Wells Fargo Power products. The consumption of high-end batteries has generated a market of more than $50 billion, and according to financial analysts, this number will double again next year, as new energy is being built everywhere.

Therefore, when Fuguo Power is preparing to go public at this time, it will inevitably focus on countless eyes.

Even Meng Qian and Wang Manwen are maintaining communication and attention. The company's listing is closely related to him.

There are so many things that need to be prepared for going public, from the issue price to the IPO plan. and then to the selection of underwriters, the preparation of proposals. Selected securities market...... Meng Qian is not clear about many concepts, but Wang Manwen is a business elite and can explain them to him in a more vivid way.

"The company has a share capital of $2 billion and plans to issue 30 million shares, between $60 and $65 each, to raise at least $1.8 billion for the company."

"So little?" Meng Qian felt that the money was not enough.

Wang Manwen explained: "The current operating situation of Wells Fargo Power is very good, the asset-liability ratio is maintained at an appropriate level, and there is not much need for funds, so the IPO does not need to be too big. ”

"You mean waiting to cash out later?" Meng Qian is very straightforward.

"Of course." Wang Manwen nodded. "Our shareholder friends hold 44% of the shares, and they value the company at more than $220 billion, with a market capitalization of $120 billion at the current offering price."

"There's still a lot of room to rise." Meng Qian understood that according to the strong strength of Fuguo Power and the good predictions of the outside world, this stock is bound to rise.

Its market capitalization may not stop until it reaches $200 billion -- and this point is the profit point of the new energy plan, and Wells Fargo Power will throw out more and more optimistic data. Let people rate it better. On the other hand, the holder sells or replaces.

"Wells Fargo's shares are worth at least $100 billion." Meng Qian extracted the key point, he holds 55% of the group's shares, absolute control.

"What do you want to do next?" Wang Manwen asked.

"It's not all going to be cash." Meng Qian is unprofessional though. But the reason is clear: if Wells Fargo cashes out 10% tomorrow, it will definitely cause panic among investors.

It can only be in the form of mergers and acquisitions with large enterprises in exchange for shares, such as the 8% stake in a subsidiary of Wells Fargo Group a while ago. The case of the exchange of Audi shares with Volkswagen.

Therefore, he must find a rich and stupid "pick-up man" to exchange the shares of Wells Fargo Power - continue to invest in the automotive field?

But the current Audi + Lamborghini model. It covers all models, from A-segment cars to luxury cars. to SUVs, coupes, and supercars are all involved, and it is already a complete industrial chain.

Wang Manwen suggested to him: "You can let the group diversify its operations." ”

"It's a way, too." Meng Qian was reminded by her that the group can also get involved in aviation, machinery and other fields, which are all related to his interest.

Based on the current situation, when January next year arrives, the family will leave for the United States.

The home in the Bay Area is back lively, because the next long-term stay is going to be long, and the children will also study here, Meng Qian plans to renovate the house, and wants to add furniture and electrical appliances to make it more intelligent; I also want to change the bed in the master bedroom to make his life more hilarious.

Wang Manwen and Gong Hui were in charge of this.

It's rare that Wang Manwen didn't want to be a workaholic this time. Perhaps, as Gong Hui said, the smooth and stable career and relationship have opened her heart more, no longer focusing all on work, but transferring some of them to the people and things she cares about - gradually becoming her world.

Meng Qian likes to see these changes in her, and workaholic honestly detracts from her charm.

But someone had to do the business, and he was ordered to set out for the small city of Malibu to talk to Tiger Brown. Stone met to talk about his plans for the near future.

It happens to be the master of the planning operation, Steven. Rosenstein is also there.

Rosenstein is personally very confident in the issue price of the listing: "Not to mention the current psychological price of $60, according to my experience, it is possible to close more than 70 or even 80 on the first day." ”

Tiger has his own thoughts: "It can be adjusted up a little, but if the overconfidence is broken, it will have a greater impact on the whole plan." ”

"I agree with the Lord of Safety." Meng Qian agreed with Tiger, "We are not in a hurry to exchange money. ”

"Okay." Rosenstein nodded, accepted their opinions, and talked about the issue of issuance and follow-up plans, so that the major shareholders could understand.

After saying this, Meng Qian asked about the matter in Africa again: "It's going well, right?" ”

Tiger is very sure of the situation: "After two months of fighting, we regained the advantage by bombardment on the ground and sky. After the end of the means of war, it will be the turn of politics, our friend Cesar. Hamid, ready to restore his emirate of Malagas. ”

"That's good." Meng Qian is happy to see a smooth situation, because he has also invested one billion in the plan, and according to the agreement, another two billion will be invested.

"Don't worry," Tiger told him, "focus on what you're better atβ€”like counting money, Mr. the richest man in the world." ”

"Don't bury me." Meng Qian smiled, when it reaches their level - when the amount of money is just a numerical difference, your net worth is 80 billion, and I am 70 billion, what is the difference?

At this time, more attention is paid to comprehensive influence, which is related to many aspects, such as connections, rights, popularity, etc.

Maybe Meng Qian's assets can surpass Tiger's. Stone; Can beat any member of the old consortium such as Rockefeller and Morgan in the United States, but what about the influence?

It's like a tiger fighting alone, no matter how powerful it is, it can't take on the lions alone, Meng Qian knows his shortcomings.

Tiger said to him, "You're growing fast enough, it's time to slow down and focus on the roots." When I was your age, I was still running around for money and betting with people on the high seas! ”

"I know." Meng Qian could understand and said something else: "I have a friend in China who admires you very much and is fascinated by your amazing gambling skills. ”

Tiger sat down to talk to him: "There is never a fixed winning rate in a player's bet, only the dealer is the eternal winner in the gambling game." ”

"I should have said this to him." Meng Qian smiled.

"Of course, there are some factors that affect the winning rate of the game and mentality...... "Tiger is a gambling king, and there are too many topics to talk about.

……

The days go on in a hectic way.

Meng Qian helped the little girl Lili find a tutor to help her with her homework, both in Chinese and English, anyway, her father has money, and it is no problem to run a school for her alone. And Wang Manwen and Gong Hui seem to be addicted to renovating this house, and they also hired a professional designer, but he doesn't understand.

Meng Qian focuses on the business and the company's IPO.

After the arrival of February, the final IPO plan was released: Wells Fargo Power will be listed on NASDAQ with a share capital of 2 billion, the underwriter himself, a handling fee of 5%, and a fixed issuance of 30 million shares at an issue price of $65, which will bring $1.95 billion to the company.

At this price, the market capitalization of Wells Fargo Power will be $130 billion, which is a bit small compared to its characteristics of leading a new era, but it also proposes the business of Wells Fargo Energy, plus the value is slowly rising - especially since Wells Fargo Power is still developing.

Their operating income last year was only 30 billion US dollars, which can quadruple the market value, which is generally the exaggerated characteristics of Internet companies, not their kind of industry, like the awesome Audi Group, the market value is not 29 billion euros?

Wells Fargo Power is rewriting tradition.

After the matter was established, the U.S. securities market and investors were concerned about the company's listing.

CEO Ryan has made many public speeches, explaining their strong confidence in development, their ability to grasp the market, and the degree of technological leadership. The certainty of the success of the listing is self-evident. No one thought they would fail to go public, and this stock is absolutely high-quality.

Just in the turn of the market, Fuguo Power was listed. The issuance of 30 million shares, including 5 million new shares, opened at $70 on the first day, and after a period of patient waiting, Wells Fargo's chart has been climbing upwards in an orderly manner, and finally closed at $75.

At the closing price of $75, Wells Fargo is now worth $150 billion -- $20 billion higher than estimated. Rosenstein's prediction that it was no problem to close more than 70 on the first day, in the end it was a veteran and a master, and the prediction was not wrong at all!

Of course, the group is not at a loss, only less than 10 million shares have been issued from them, and their main goal is to operate in the long run, in line with the new energy empire plan. According to the current level of optimism in the market, it may be expected to hit the $200 billion mark in a year.

It's a great start! (To be continued.) )
