Chapter 646: Breaking News

Today, Nanyang Group was listed, and there were a total of four media for special interviews, of which there were three in the Celestial Empire, namely the Viet Ning City Television Station, the Zhejiang Provincial Television Station and the Minnan Provincial Television News Channel, and the foreign media was Reuters arranged by the NASDAQ - the Reuters US headquarters is opposite the NASDAQ.

Nanyang Education Group started in southern Fujian Province and is headquartered in Quancheng, and now it is listed in the United States, and the local official media naturally have to report on it, but the Yuening TV and Zhejiang TV are due to the influence of Xia Yun, Liu Zonghan and Li Zhongda.

"Hello Mr. Xia, first of all, congratulations to Nanyang Education Group on its successful listing, and the stock price has maintained an upward trend, as the chairman of the group, what do you think at the moment?"

The first to hand the microphone to Xia Yun was Wang Dalei, a reporter from Yuening TV Station, because of the relationship between time and place, only a total of 15 minutes of interview time was arranged, and this reporter did not waste time.

Xia Yun smiled at the camera and began to say the standard cliché, "First of all, I would like to thank all the employees who have been in the same boat with Nanyang Group through thick and thin, it is your hard work that has enabled Nanyang Group to develop and grow, and at the same time, I would also like to thank all the friends from all walks of life who care about and support Nanyang Group, as well as the guests and friends who attended the ceremony today, as well as the underwriting team, law firm staff, and public relations personnel of Nanyang Group's listing. Finally, I would like to thank ≦ investors for their trust and support to Nanyang Group. ”

Listening to Xia Yun's clichés, Ren Xiaoying, the secretary of the board of directors next to her, couldn't help but tug at the corners of her mouth, if these words came out of the mouth of the general chairman, maybe there would be some ignition, but it could be said from the mouth of Xia Yun, a super hand-shaking shopkeeper, how to listen to how to violate the harmony.

"This time, Nanyang Group raised $180 million from the NASDAQ stock market, may I ask Mr. Xia, what arrangements does the company have for this funding? What's next? ”

Here is slandering in my heart, the Reuters reporter over there asked a question, Ren Xiaoying retracted her thoughts, and translated to Xia Yun with a smile.

Xia Yun smiled, "Part of the funds raised from the stock market will be used for the investment and construction of the new campus, as we all know, our Nanyang Group has two full-time undergraduate universities, as well as 11 kindergarten-high school schools, and the fourteenth school, Viet Ninh International Education School, is currently in the construction stage." But this is not enough, our next step is to build a new full-time undergraduate university and a 15-year school, and at the same time recruit a large number of talents from the society to enrich our faculty. ”

"The other part of the funds is used to develop the company's new business, our Nanyang Group's business is relatively single, the operating income is mainly based on students' tuition fees, and the ability to resist risks is weak, and the development of new business is conducive to the company's comprehensive development and anti-risk ability......"

"At present, most of the listed education companies are only training institutions. Compared with these enterprises, our Nanyang Group has a very strong advantage in terms of teachers and software and hardware facilities...... We initially positioned our new business in several businesses such as study abroad services, vocational education, and distance online education, giving full play to the group's resource advantages. Seize the market ......"

……

Several reporters took turns to interview, and Xia Yun answered in a proper manner, and in the middle of one question and one answer, half of the fifteen-minute interview time had passed.

When it's Wang Dalei's turn again. I asked another topic that everyone was interested in, "Mr. Xia, with the current stock price of Nanyang Group and the shares you hold in the group." Your current net worth is nearly 5.5 billion, compared with more than 900 million before, and your net worth has skyrocketed six times in half an hour, what do you think or think? ”

Xia Yun smiled, "Maybe what I said is a bit hypocritical, but when the wealth reaches a certain level, money is just a number for me personally...... Of course, the company is different, all the bosses hope that the company's development is getting better and better, well, my idea is to continue to work hard to make Nanyang Group bigger and stronger, and become the top private educational institution in the Celestial Empire and even the world! ”

This is obviously also a cliché.

However, the reporters present didn't care, they had interviewed a lot of chairmen and entrepreneurs, and they saw a lot of this kind of words, and understood that no matter what these bigwigs thought in their hearts, in front of the camera, they must be almost a template.

Wang Dalei was about to smile and compliment a few words, and while he still had time to ask a few more questions, he heard Xia Yun add another sentence, "However, for my personal wealth, when it comes to specific ideas, I really have a little bit, which is also what I have been thinking about a lot recently......"

"Oh?"

Facing the eyes and microphones of several reporters, Xia Yun smiled, "When I was just starting out, some people once asked me similar questions, such as when you suddenly became so rich, do you plan to do charity, repay the society, etc......."

Wang Dalei suddenly became interested, "Then Mr. Xia, how did you answer at that time?" ”

"At that time, I was still very young and frivolous, and my ideas were a little extreme, so naturally I broke up unhappily, but when I left, I had a few words to those people......

Wang Dalei and several reporters all put on a posture of listening attentively, but Xia Yun suddenly stopped when he said this, and then shook his head and smiled, "It's not interesting to talk about this now...... But I do have some ideas for charity! ”

"Just some time ago, I invested 30 million yuan with a few friends to set up a charitable foundation in my name, with the main purpose of helping students, disaster relief, poverty relief, and helping the needy, and I have done some things one after another, but they are mostly petty fights, and I am embarrassed to brag about it here...... Just watched the stock rise rubbingly, I couldn't help but follow the calculation of my net worth, and suddenly felt that it was not interesting, and then I somehow remembered the original bold statement, so I made a decision! ”

"I currently hold 72% of the shares of Nanyang Education Group, and I have decided to donate 20% to the charity fund in my name for charity!"

"Although the stocks in my hands are in the lock-up period, whether I can donate or not, and when to donate, I need to consult relevant legal information to determine, but these do not affect my decision to donate!"

……

Donate 20% of Nanyang Education Group's shares!

Although Xia Yun said it lightly, as if he was talking about a trivial matter, it was like a ten-magnitude earthquake in the ears of several reporters.

"Bang!"

The microphone in Wang Dalei's hand fell to the ground, making a noise, but Wang Dalei didn't care about this at all, opened his mouth wide, looked at Xia Yun blankly, and asked blankly, "What did you say?" ”

Xia Yun didn't care about Wang Dalei's impoliteness, just smiled and repeated again, "I said, I decided to donate 20% of the shares of Nanyang Education Group under my name for charity!" ”

Several other reporters also looked at Xia Yun dumbfounded, as if they saw a monster, they had heard and seen such a thing as donating shares, not to mention it abroad, the most famous in China was Niu Gensheng, the boss of Mengniu, and Cao Dewang, the glass king, but it was the first one like Xia Yun to donate shares on the day of the NASDAQ listing, and when the stock rose sharply.

And more importantly, Xia Yun donated 20% of the shares of Nanyang Education Group...... Several reporters subconsciously glanced back at the stock price of Nanyang Group on the big screen.

$14.1!

At this price, 20% of Nanyang Group's shares are worth 251 million US dollars, equivalent to almost 1.6 billion yuan!

1.6 billion RMB!

Absolutely generous, it is completely possible to enter the annual philanthropist list, and even the top three are not a problem!

Ren Xiaoying's expression beside Xia Yun was a little complicated, the decision to donate shares, Xia Yun had already told them when she came to the hotel to talk to them for a long time yesterday, she and Wu Shoujing were also impressed by Xia Yun's courage and bearing, coupled with Xia Yun's favorable conditions, so they no longer hesitated to stay in Nanyang Group.

Wang Dalei leaned over and picked up the microphone, with excitement on his face...... I thought it was just an ordinary accompanying report, but I didn't expect to catch such an explosive news, he could imagine how much sensation and discussion it would cause in Yuening, Su Province and even the entire Celestial Empire if he sent this news back!

Even the headlines he thought of in his mind.

"One more philanthropist of the year, the chairman of Nanyang Education Group donated 20% of the shares on the day of listing, worth 1.6 billion yuan!"

The reporters from Zhejiang Provincial TV Station and Minnan Provincial TV Station who had the same idea as Wang Dalei instantly threw away the courtesy and politeness of one person and one question just now.

Looking at the excited expressions on the faces of several reporters and the microphones that were rushed over, Xia Yun maintained a faint smile on his face and calmly answered the various questions they raised.

The matter of donating shares was naturally not a temporary idea as he just said, but after careful consideration, it was discussed in detail with Jiang Peilan, Liu Caishen and others, and even reported to Li Zhongda, and the purpose was not just pure charity.

But just like Liu Caishen said, even if the purpose is not simple, it is also true and good, which is much better than the hypocrisy that is said to be wild and righteous all day long, but there is no actual action.

My mind turned back to the scene when I was in Hangzhou, when I had just received a huge bonus, and what I said to those people in the Red Cross.

"Today, I will only donate more than 4,000 yuan to you, and in the future, I will help those I think need help in my own way, a thousand, ten thousand."

"I do what I say, and I don't bother to make any notes, what to swear, and it is all up to my own conscience to do things, whether I do it or not is clear in my own heart, and I don't need you to express any opinions." (To be continued......)
