I asked you to save a bankrupt factory and you became the richest man in the world.

Chapter 577: 459-460: Hillhouse Vehicle IPO (Part 4000)! ( words)
Treat the IPO as a marketing event, use the marketing event to hype up both things, and warm up for Hillhouse Aerospace, one of Hillhouse's future major businesses.

That is, it realized its donation of 1.3 billion yuan, which showed that Hillhouse has strong financial resources and can stably resist the self-destruction of Xida for a long time.

It also achieved the most important market expectation warming up for IPO and prepared for a good start on the IPO day.

Finally, we also prepared for Hillhouse Aerospace's talent recruitment and opened up channels and concerns for talent recruitment.

This is a really good thing that kills three birds with one stone.

According to the conventional IPO route, at most a roadshow would be conducted within the small financial circle, and then the company would be listed quietly with almost no one knowing.

At most, only those people who like to invest in new stocks will know about it.

and then?
it's over!
With so many companies listed almost every trading day, how many of their names can you hear?
Even this company is preparing to delist, such as ST Meixun, ST Boxin, ST Dayao, you don’t even know what its main business is.

He truly came and went without a trace.

It’s nothing like Hillhouse Vehicles. The entire listing process was like a gorgeous show, with one climax after another and several twists and turns like a story.

Even people in the financial circle were amazed that going public could be done this way!

Compared with Hillhouse, the old routines of the past are really far behind.

As expected of Hillhouse Capital, even its IPO is a dimensional attack on the financial industry.

. . . . . .

Gao Huaijun and his team arrived in Shanghai first, followed by more than 100 senior executives from Hillhouse Technology and Hillhouse Vehicles arriving in Shanghai in batches.

The bosses and friends of companies such as BAT will arrive in Shanghai the night before the listing.

Due to the impact of the special event, Gao Huaijun prepared to keep a low profile and did not hold a large-scale banquet. He just asked some senior executives of Hillhouse to accompany him to hold a pre-celebration buffet banquet with the financial circle, government parties, and some familiar friends.

After all, after the listing was completed the next day, each boss had his own schedule, and it was inconvenient to force them together.

For such a large and iconic IPO project, almost no one who can participate in the pre-celebration buffet banquet is an unknown person.

After all, Hillhouse Capital's IPO is the largest in terms of fundraising and market value in the world in recent years. When such a giant company goes public, the question of whether it will fail is not the issue, but the impact on society.

Although the size of the stock market is smaller than that of the real estate market, China now very much hopes that the stock market can rise and become the object of long-term capital like the real estate market. Naturally, it also hopes that Hillhouse Capital can make a good start in early 2020.

April 2020, 4, the 17th day of the third lunar month.

Good for trading and making money!
Early in the morning of that day, Gao Huaijun left the Bulgari Hotel in Shanghai where he was staying and drove a large convoy to the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

At the same time, Ning Yuan, the executive president of Hillhouse Group, went to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on his behalf to attend the listing ceremony.

The A+H listing on the same day is rare in the history of the two exchanges, which also shows their importance to Hillhouse Capital.

Along the way, many citizens were looking at the convoy in front of them with curiosity.

When they found out that the person in the convoy was Gao Huaijun, they all shouted excitedly.

Gao Huaijun can be said to be the most popular legendary figure in China in recent years, and his traffic on the Internet is comparable to that of a celebrity.

Moreover, since he has not married yet, many people are very curious about his private life.

Many reporters on the roadside were taking photos, collecting materials, and admiring Gao Huaijun's personal charm.

This high level of voice is expected to help Hillhouse save a considerable amount of marketing expenses.

"This kind of momentum and traffic is really incredible. People who don't know the situation may think it's a celebrity coming."

"A place like the Magic City is still short of stars? Which star has this kind of presence? Gao Huaijun is definitely the top star right now!"

"The wave of publicity before Hillhouse Vehicle's listing really attracted a lot of attention. If the IPO is a great success, it will be tantamount to a successful product launch."

"This is a highlight moment for the Shanghai Stock Exchange. It is very likely that the world's most powerful automotive leader in the future will be listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. This is the glory of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, not the glory of Hillhouse Automotive."

"Many people are now guessing how much the share price of Hillhouse Capital's vehicles will rise on the first day of listing."

"I really don't dare to guess! When they subscribed in the primary market, the valuation was extremely high, 30 times PE. Many listed companies can't even reach this valuation when they reach the peak of the secondary market. How can we estimate it then?"

"This good show is not over yet. Let's wait and see the results of Hillhouse's listing."

Reporters were discussing the matter both online and offline.

They are all guessing what the outcome of Hillhouse's listing will be.

However, they are sure of one thing: once Hillhouse goes public, it will inevitably become one of the top ten companies in terms of market value on the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

This listed company is among the top ten in terms of market value. Apart from those state-owned enterprises directly under the central government, no other private enterprise has reached this level.

Moreover, this is a private enterprise!
At this peak of market value, it doesn't even have time to be included in the Shanghai Composite 50.

However, although the reporters were talking about it, they all wanted to get a share of the sweet soup in this traffic carnival.

However, Gao Huaijun himself is not that concerned about the stock price.

One is that his money has actually been settled in the primary market, and the bloody storm in the secondary market has nothing to do with him anymore.

To be precise, it has nothing to do with him until the ban on large and small non-tradable shares is lifted one year later.

The second is that Gao Huaijun has a characteristic, which is that he is not like some business owners who like to sell their company directly.

Hillhouse Technology has been listed for so long, but he has basically not sold any shares that have been released from the lock-up period. Instead, he has repurchased them several times when Hillhouse Technology had sufficient funds.

He can be said to be very confident about the development of various companies under the Hillhouse Group.

He now has a premonition that Hillhouse’s future will definitely be at the top of the mountain.

. . . . .

At 8:30, Gao Huaijun and a group of senior executives arrived at the Shanghai Stock Exchange on time.

Jiang Feng, the head of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, made an exception and waited for Gao Huaijun's arrival at the gate of the Shanghai Stock Exchange together with a group of senior executives.

"Mr. Gao, welcome!" Although they had met several times before, Jiang Feng's expression was still very excited.

He made an effort to persuade Hillhouse Capital to list on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, which is one of his great political achievements.

He has already heard the news, and as long as there are no major mistakes during this period, he can go directly to the next step!
"Mr. Jiang, nice to meet you!" Gao Huaijun smiled and shook hands with the head of the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

Being able to be listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange is also a turning point for the future development of Hillhouse Group. It is very likely that three more Hillhouse Group companies will be listed in the future.

If nothing unexpected happens, the listing location will still be the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

Hillhouse Intelligence and Hillhouse Entertainment, where Xiaoling APP is located, have at most one more battery department, Hillhouse Battery.

As for the other three companies, Hillhouse Chip and Hillhouse Artificial Intelligence are the core think tanks of Hillhouse Group and will basically not be listed. Hillhouse Derivatives are its own small treasury. The sales volume of this company is not high, and there is not much significance after listing, so it will not be listed.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Jiang Feng, the group was invited into the VIP lounge, waiting for the bell ringing ceremony at 9:15.

According to the established procedures, due to the influence of special events, the arrangements for the bell ringing this time will be simpler, but also very grand.

First, the person in charge of the Shanghai Stock Exchange gave an opening speech, and then Gao Huaijun went on stage to give a small speech, just like the last time Hillhouse Technology went public.

At 9:15, the bell rang.

At this time, Gao Huaijun's mother, who was sitting in the VIP lounge, nervously pulled the hands of several children, and glanced at several reporters who were eager to come in.

Some tabloids have reported that Gao Huaijun has an illegitimate child, but it has never been officially confirmed.

Does the fact that Gao Huaijun’s mother brought several children here this time count as an indirect confirmation?
Seeing that his mother was a little nervous, Gao Huaijun smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, mom. You just need to stand on the stage. Didn't you participate in the relevant procedures for Hillhouse Technology's listing?"

"Hillhouse Technology was completely different then than it is now. Hillhouse Auto is actually as valuable as ABC..."

“It feels like I’m dreaming.”

Gao Huaijun's mother Wang Lan sighed.

No matter how much she used her imagination, she would never have thought that the Gao family's ancestral tomb was not emitting green smoke, but was directly producing gold using the Samadhi True Fire.

How could that old drunkard have such a good son?

Oh no!

In her eyes, there are only a handful of people in the world who are as good as her son.

"Haha! Your son's company is worth more than you. Don't worry, Mom. You can spend whatever you want in this life!" As he said that, he rubbed his eldest son Gao Hongyu's rosy face. Gao Hongyu dodged away with some dissatisfaction, muttering in dissatisfaction, "Dad, don't pull me."

"Look at you, a big CEO, actually bullying a little kid." Wang Lan gave Gao Huaijun a dissatisfied look and protected her precious grandson behind her.

But after a few words of conversation, her nervousness eased a little.

However, when she saw a group of celebrities around her, many of whom she had seen on TV, she still felt a little nervous.

My son is handsome and heroic. Even if he is the invited friends, they are all big shots. It's really amazing.

At this time, the door of the lounge was opened, and the three bosses of BAT walked in shoulder to shoulder, smiling.

"Mr. Gao, let me say congratulations first!" Ma Yun said with a smile.

This sentence really reflects his true feelings.

His company Ant Financial recently wanted to go public in China, but encountered considerable problems.

It seems to be very difficult.

This is also a technology company. Hillhouse Vehicle is truly directly backed by the national team, and everything is green-lighted. It is hard for him not to be envious.

"Thank you, Mr. Ma!" Gao Huaijun also smiled and shook hands with Ma Yun.

In the past, he had only seen this kind of big shot on TV, but now Ma Yun came all the way from Hangzhou, which made Gao Huaijun feel secretly happy.

"Congratulations, Mr. Gao!"

"Congratulations, Mr. Gao!"

Ma Huateng and Li Yanhong, who were standing by, both shook hands with Gao Huaijun.

Their eyes were full of envy, but there was no jealousy.

In a sense, BAT is the banner of China's Internet industry.

But compared to Hillhouse, the three together are not as good as Hillhouse.

Now in China, the only one qualified to compete with Hillhouse is China Capital.

Jealousy only exists in the eyes of people who are half a level higher than you. If his level is much higher than you, then there is no need to be jealous at all.

Now Gao Huaijun can be deeply involved in the industrial layout of some sensitive industries in China. Such resources and status are not comparable to BAT now.

China often talks about developing the country through science and technology. In the view of the three BAT bosses, this technology, in a narrow sense, is highly consistent with Hillhouse's industry.

As everyone was having a great time, time quickly came to half past eight.

Therefore, the people who were resting in the VIP room came to the on-site hall under the guidance of the staff.

At this time, there were a few reporters and big Vs standing sparsely in the hall.

Don’t think that there are too few people who want to come.

Because of the special event, the Shanghai Stock Exchange only allowed about ten reporters to enter.

In order to get these ten or so reporter spots, the major media outlets fought tooth and nail, using all kinds of connections and means. In the end, only a few major media outlets and two big Vs who had long-term cooperation with Hillhouse came in to conduct the full interview.

Only after the head of the Shanghai Stock Exchange finished his opening remarks did Gao Huaijun step toward the front desk.

For a moment, the reporters in the audience pressed the shutter button to take the most handsome photos of this most powerful entrepreneur in China.

Gao Huaijun stood on the podium, smiled and said, "I still remember when Hillhouse Technology was actually listed a few years ago, I stood on the stage of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and imagined the listing of Hillhouse Vehicles."

"At that time, I thought that if Hillhouse Capital could set a small goal and achieve a market value of 1000 billion yuan, I would be very satisfied."

"A few years have passed in a flash, and after Hillhouse Automotive went public, it not only initially achieved the goal of a market value of 1000 billion yuan, but also took a step closer and finally successfully listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, the place where I most wanted to be listed."

There was a sudden burst of applause from the audience.

It takes a little bit of tsundere to go public, and only Gao Huaijun can do that.

Many big bosses, when their companies go public, are so excited that their speech becomes unclear, let alone making impromptu speeches.
