Chapter 645: Net Worth Soars
"At 9:30 a.m. New York time, Mr. Xia Yun, a well-known entrepreneur in the city and chairman of Nanyang Education Group, led the executives of his companies to the United States to participate in the NASDAQ listing bell ringing ceremony......
"Nanyang Education Group is the leading private educational institution in China, headquartered in Quancheng, Fujian Province, with total assets of 1.3 billion yuan, with two full-time undergraduate colleges and universities, as well as eleven kindergarten to high school schools, the fourteenth school Yuening International Education School, has taken root in Lijia Village, the western suburbs of the city, with an investment of 50 million yuan, and is expected to be completed next year to start enrollment......"
With the narration of the news reporter, Xia Yun seemed to have finished speaking on the TV screen, and a large number of people surrounded him, surrounded Xia Yun, and began to count down.
"Ten...... Nine...... Eight...... Seven ......"
"Three...... Two...... One! ”
"Yay!"
Xia Yun pressed his hand on an orange button on the front desk, a bell rang, accompanied by the bursting colored paper flowers, everyone applauded and waved at the camera, looking like they were done.
Watching the TV news, several aunts stopped playing mahjong, and flocked to the TV to watch, and several men next to Xia Herong and Xia Heyuan also stood up and surrounded them, and the noise looked more lively than Xia Yun and those people in the TV news.
"Lao Xia, Lao Xia, look, it's really our family's Ah Yun, this kid is rarely dressed so tightly...... Hey, isn't this Ah Fang next to him, he's there too! ”
"Don't shout so loudly, I saw it!"
"Heyuan, it's really Ah Fang's kid!"
"Big sister, what's that guy called, what is the bell ringing, what does he do?"
"I don't know, it seems that the company is listed and can sell shares...... Ah Yun seems to have mentioned this to me before he went to the United States, saying that the company was listed. He went to host it, but he didn't expect it to be on the news! ”
"Tsk, your Xia Yun is so promising, they all went to the United States to go public, no, I have to quickly call Sister Luo and Sister Zhang, so that they can also come and see the excitement......"
Although it was relatively late, there was such a big news suddenly around me, and there were still a lot of gossipy neighbors, especially those aunts, who rushed to hear the news. Gathered in front of the TV, for a while, the living room on the first floor of the Xia family was full of people, and there was even a trend of being a little overwhelmed!
At 9:47 a.m. New York time, after a seventeen-minute inquiry, Nanyang Education Group's shares officially opened for trading under the ticker symbol "NYJY", with an opening price of US$12.5 per share, up 10.04% from the issue price of US$11.36. The IPO issued a total of 16 million U.S. depositary shares, accounting for 18% of the total share capital, raising a total of $181.76 million, with Morgan Stanley, J.P. Morgan Chase, and Andrew Funds as their equity underwriters......"
in the news. The reporter is still reporting, a lot of professional terms make these neighbors a little foggy, but the next sentence suddenly made the already lively living room. Suddenly it boiled.
"Although there are still a few hours before the close, the current market value of Nanyang Education Group is US$1.01 billion based on the issue price alone. It is about 6.26 billion yuan, and according to the text disclosed during the previous roadshow of Nanyang Group, Mr. Xia Yun holds 72% of the shares of Nanyang Group after the IPO, equivalent to 4.51 billion yuan......"
"Wow! 4.5 billion!! ”
"Lao Xia, your family is developed!"
"That's awesome!"
"Definitely the richest man in our Li City!"
"Treats! Lao Xia, if you don't invite guests this time, you can't talk about it! ”
After a short silence, the entire hall fell into a frenzy, and everyone shouted at Xia Herong and Xia Mu, excited, excited, envious, jealous, and even a little hysterical.
Xia Herong and Xia Yun's mother were also dumbfounded and speechless, they never expected this to happen.
When my son said that he was going to the United States, he looked like he was going out to travel, but in the blink of an eye, not only was it on the TV news, but his net worth suddenly became 4.5 billion!
4.5 billion!
What is this concept? Anyway, for Xia Herong and Xia Yun's mother, not to mention ten lifetimes in one lifetime, it is still a question whether they can earn so much money in a hundred lifetimes, which is out of the scope of money and has completely become a real number.
Suddenly they felt a little dizzy!
……
New York, NASDAQ.
After the opening of the market, the stock of Nanyang Group rose all the way, and in just ten minutes, it has risen from $12.5 to $13.2, with a total market value of $1.173 billion, and the studio hall is also full of jubilation.
Nanyang Group issued 18% of the shares this time, Xia Yun held 72%, and the remaining 10% was scattered in the hands of these high-level executives.
Xia Yun stared at the numbers that were still beating on the big screen, and he was also in a trance, he didn't do anything, just listed the company, and the total assets suddenly changed from 1.3 billion to almost 7.3 billion, and his net worth also skyrocketed by billions, no wonder countless entrepreneurs are so enthusiastic, and going forward to list the company one after another is simply a naked money-grabbing game.
At the beginning, he spent a total of 300 million yuan to win the Nanyang Group, and in less than half a year, these 300 million became billions of net worth overnight.
Jiang Peilan stood beside Xia Yun and looked at him with a smile, "How is it, does it feel like getting rich overnight?" ”
Xia Yun came back to his senses, looked left and right, and saw that everyone was immersed in the excitement of the success of the listing and the rise of the stock, he didn't notice this, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "When I won the lottery to receive the prize, there was a little bit, but now I really don't, the net worth is billions and there are not really billions, the stock thing, before it is not cashed out, it is all virtual, there are too many bubbles, which day it falls hard, and it is normal to drop hundreds of millions and billions a day!" ”
"You can't say that, after the lock-up period, some of the shares in your hand can be exchanged for real money in the secondary market, not to mention, the $180 million in this financing will not be fake, with this money, Nanyang Group's difficulties will be solved."
This is true, the $180 million is equivalent to being picked up for nothing, no interest and no return, and it will not affect the company's decision-making.
With this money, Nanyang Group not only got rid of the previous predicament of almost bankruptcy, but also entered a stage of rapid development, and the benefits are self-evident.
Of course, listing is not all benefits, and there are all kinds of disadvantages, but relatively speaking, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
While the two were chatting, the stock price on the big screen gradually slowed down, and finally stabilized at $13.8, slowly fluctuating up and down.
Xia Yun glanced at the big screen again, rubbing his chin, "I didn't expect investors to have a lot of confidence in our company, the opening price was 12.5, and it was up to 13.8 in less than an hour. ”
Jiang Peilan also glanced at the stock price and smiled disappreciatively, "It's not that investors have confidence in our company, it's that some people have confidence in you and me." ”
"You see that our company's stock has risen so well, with the help of the Andrew Fund, the Huaqing Gang and even the Gary family, and several other major families must have bought our company's shares more or less, but there are quite few investors who are serious......"
"As soon as you say that, hasn't our company become an underworld alliance, why do I suddenly feel that the future is not bright, we are obviously an education group, can't we teach those students how to become the underworld......"
"Xia Yun, you're naughty again!"
The two were chatting and laughing in a low voice, and Ren Xiaoying, the secretary of the board of directors on the side, squeezed in front of the two and pointed to the watch on her wrist, "Mr. Xia, Mr. Jiang, the time is almost up, those media are already waiting in the upstairs conference room to interview Mr. Xia, should we also go up?"
