Chapter 486 - The World's Richest Athlete (Debt 5)

May 16 ET. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 The New York Stock Exchange ushered in the largest technology IPO in U.S. history, with an estimated $100 billion market.

Such a huge valuation has shocked not only the United States, but also the whole world, and major media in various countries around the world have reported on it, and some portals have even opened special features for it.

The issue price of FB shares was $38, the highest price of the day was $42.05, and the final closing price was $38.23, only a slight increase of 0.6%, and on the day of the IPO, several major shareholders, including Zach, coincidentally sold part of the part and chose to cash out.

In fact, the issue price is set at a bit high, and the industry generally thinks that the issue price within $35 is more appropriate, but the underwriters want to make more money, so the price is $38.

Fidelity Investment, as the second largest shareholder, has instantly become the top investment company on Hong Kong Island because of this IPO. Based on the day's closing price, FB's market capitalization reached $104 billion, and Fidelity Investments' 22% stake has a market value of $22.8 billion. This is also an admirable figure in Hong Kong Island, a world-class financial center. You must know that according to the 2011 Forbes rankings, Li Chaoren on Hong Kong Island ranks 11th in the world with assets of 26 billion US dollars, and 22.8 billion US dollars on Hong Kong Island, but it is second only to Li Chaoren's existence.

Huang Weida also became famous overnight and became a bigwig-level existence in the financial industry on Hong Kong Island.

But soon, some financial people noticed that in the data released by the US Securities and Exchange Commission, the FB shares held by Fidelity Investment were an entrusted investment, which means that the $22.8 billion did not belong to Fidelity Investment, but to the client behind Fidelity Investment.

If it were normal, it would be over here. This kind of thing is very common in the financial market, and Fidelity Investments, as the entrusted person, must also keep it confidential from real investors.

However, the SEC did not keep this secret, and when someone deliberately inquired, Zhang Guan's English name appeared in the project form of the entrusted investment client.

A billionaire who suddenly appeared naturally attracted people's attention.

"The client behind Fidelity Investment turned out to be a Chinese national, the largest technology company in the United States, and the second largest shareholder turned out to be a Chinese! With 22.8 billion US dollars, won't he become the richest man in the mainland? ā€

"Not only the mainland, it is estimated that in the entire Greater China region, it is second only to Li Chaoren!"

"Zhang-Guan, Zhang Guan? Zhang Guan? What do you translate to those two words? Have any of you ever heard of a rich man in China? ā€

"It doesn't have to be 'Gong Changzhang', maybe it's 'Morning Chapter'!"

"Even the rich man with the surname 'Li Zaozhang' is counted, who is called Zhang-Guan?"

"I haven't heard of it, but when I look at this name, I thought it was athlete Zhang Guan!"

"Not to mention, the most used pinyin name is Zhang Guan! You say, this Zhang-Guan can't be Zhang Guan! ā€

"Zhang Guan? How can it be! $22.8 billion! If he was so rich, what kind of athlete would he be! ā€

"Zhang Guan must be worth a billion now, isn't that rich enough? Aren't you also an athlete? ā€

The sudden emergence of a billionaire worth $22.8 billion is enough to attract the attention of all the media, and Fidelity Investment, as an agent, has also become the core of public opinion.

……

The gate of Fidelity Investment has long been surrounded by reporters, and at the door, there are police personnel to maintain order.

In the reception room, Huang Weida was greeting a middle-aged man in a police uniform.

"Sir Chen, thanks to you, otherwise, our door would have been broken by those reporters." Huang Weida said with a smile.

"Maintaining the safety of the public is the duty of our police, and Mr. Huang does not need to be polite." This Chen sir paused, and then said: "But Mr. Huang, please forgive me for saying it, it's not a way to go on like this, our police can always send people to maintain order, but surrounded by a group of reporters, your company can't do business!" ā€

Huang Weida nodded, this sir Chen has something to say, and his subtext is to let him come up with a solution as soon as possible.

"Sir Chen, I understand what you mean, let me be with you for a while, go make a call." Huang Weida said, and turned to leave.

After Huang Weida left, a police officer next to him asked, "Sir Chen, are we just waiting here?" ā€

"A little bit of peace, I think Huang Weida is going to talk to the client behind the scenes, I believe it won't be long before we have the result we want." Chen Sir said.

……

Zhang Guan held his mobile phone and thought for a few seconds, and then said, "Then make me public!" ā€

"You decide?" Huang Weida asked.

"There is a saying that if you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of thieves, you have to open the door to do business, you can't always be remembered! Besides, there is no impermeable wall in this world, and I can rest assured that you are there, but can the SEC always help me keep it secret? And the other major shareholders of FB also know that I am the entrusted investor. If I want to find out, I'll definitely be able to find out about me from the United States. Zhang Guan said.

"I'm worried that if you reveal your identity, there will be unnecessary trouble, after all, that's 22.8 billion US dollars!" Huang Weida said.

"So I'm glad now that I'm a public figure and a well-known athlete. As the SEC thought, it is safer for public figures to be exposed by the media all the time. Maybe for me, the more fame I have, the fewer people who are looking for trouble! Zhang Guan said with a smile.

"The more famous, the fewer people who are looking for trouble, as if this is really the case." Huang Weida nodded: "But you better be careful, I mean personal safety, let's hire a few bodyguards!" ā€

"Bodyguards? You may have to ask for it when you go abroad, but you don't need it at home, don't forget, the world's top boxing champion, isn't it also knocked down by me! Zhang Guan replied with a smile.

……

In the afternoon of the same day, Fidelity Investment held a press conference and announced that the client Zhang-Guan, who is Zhang Guan!

"Zhang Guan!" All the reporters at the scene exclaimed.

"It turned out to be Zhang Guan! It turned out to be the world champion Zhang Guan! OMG! Super big news! ā€

"I thought Zhang Guan was just an athlete, but I didn't expect him to be a billionaire!

"Zhang Guan should have earned a billion worth over the years, I thought that his level of making money was good enough, but I didn't expect to underestimate him!"

"How much do you think Zhang Guan's assets can be? He must be the richest athlete in the world! ā€

"Nonsense, I estimate that Zhang Guan's assets should be ranked in the top 20 in the Forbes world!"

"Zhang Guan is really amazing, he can win the championship again, and he is so rich, by the way, he has been single since he broke up with Sharapova!"

"It's not, but now, there should be beautiful women in their arms!"

……

In the Internet era, the speed of news transmission is calculated in "seconds", so before the press conference of Fidelity Investment ended, the news spread all over the world, and the media around the world suddenly exploded.

"World champion Zhang Guan turned out to be the second largest shareholder of FB!"

"Oh my God, more than $20 billion, if I had so much money, what kind of athlete would I be!"

"The total number of active athletes in the world may not have so many assets as Zhang Guan."

"In the future, if Zhang Guan participates in the competition, the security work will be complicated, if Zhang Guan has any accidents, no organizer in the world can afford to pay!"

"Isn't it, if the IOC is sold, it won't be worth more than 20 billion dollars!" (To be continued.) )
