Chapter 527

Wednesday, November 2008, 1.

It was snowing lightly in New York and the weather was a bit cold.

Shi Yuzhu was wearing a white sports suit and was full of enthusiasm. He stood in the New York Stock Exchange, chatting and laughing with his right-hand men and business partners with a smile on his face.

Compared to other bosses who all wear suits when ringing the bell, Shi Yuzhu, who likes to be unconventional, always presents himself in an alternative manner.

Amidst many strange looks, he calmly rang the opening bell in his white sportswear.

After the bell rang, applause broke out all around, and Shi Yuzhu discussed with his team with a smile.

"From now on, Mr. Shi will be the first person to ring the bell at the New York Stock Exchange without wearing a suit." Someone said flatteringly, "Congratulations to Mr. Shi for setting a new record."

Shi Yuzhu was very calm, "The title of being the first person to ring the bell without wearing a suit is just empty talk. I don't like these gimmicks."

"Mr. Shi's indifference to fame and fortune is admirable." The flatterer couldn't help but complain in his heart.

If you don't like to create gimmicks, why do you specifically post about sportswear? Can't you just wear a suit like everyone else?
However, Shi Yuzhu has always liked to go his own way, and today's outfit was specially chosen by him.

He really didn't care much about false fame, because there were more important things attracting his attention today.

Including him, several executives of Juren Network stared nervously at the changes in stock prices on the big screen.

"Oh, it's going up!" Ji Xuewei shouted excitedly.

"What's so exciting about this?" Shi Yuzhu remained calm and composed. "It's just the beginning. The real test is yet to come."

Until the afternoon, the stock of JuRen Network was still strong. Although the increase was not high, it was indeed rising continuously.

Even Liu Wei couldn't hold back and looked at Shi Yuzhu excitedly, "Boss, we succeeded again!"

Shi Yuzhu's hands were shaking a little at this time. He pretended to be calm, took off his glasses, wiped them, and put them back on.

"A successful start on the first day is indeed a good sign. Go back to the hotel and arrange a celebration banquet to make everyone happy."

Shi Yuzhu was still not calm when he said this. It was really too easy!
In order to plan the listing of Juren Network, Shi Yuzhu devoted countless efforts and spent a lot of money, and now he has finally succeeded.

Looking at the rising stock price, Shi Yuzhu was full of confidence and enthusiasm.

At this moment, right here, this is the beginning of my turnaround.

He has been in the business world for many years, experiencing many ups and downs, glory and bankruptcy, but he managed to get through them all.

The successful listing of JuRen Network enabled him to successfully cross over from the health care products industry to the IT industry.

"Online games are really money-printing machines!" Shi Yuzhu couldn't help but sigh.

Online games have become the secret to creating wealth myths, creating one national richest man after another.

From Shanda's Chen Tianqiao, to NetEase's Ding Sanshi, to Sentinel Technology's Qin Shaoyan, these three richest people in the country all became rich by relying on online games.

And I might not be the fourth person to become the richest man by playing online games!

Shi Yuzhu was happy, so naturally he rewarded his subordinates.

A banquet was held in a luxurious hotel and many partners were invited to attend.

As the glasses clinked, Shi Yuzhu raised his glass frequently and drank with everyone.

Peng Xiaolin from Lenovo Capital was also grinning from ear to ear as he and Shi Yuzhu dealt with the executives from Merrill Lynch and UBS Group.

Merrill Lynch and UBS Group are the institutions responsible for underwriting Juren Network's shares. This time, Juren Network's IPO cannot be separated from the help of these institutions.

Especially with the active efforts of these two companies, many international investment institutions subscribed enthusiastically, and almost all of the largest international fund companies participated in the subscription. The subscription far exceeded the issuance scale, and the pricing was much higher than the pricing cap of US$14 per share disclosed in the prospectus.

矩人网络确定发行价为15.5美元，18.25美元的开盘价超过发行价18%。矩人网络此次直接发行5246.7万股存托凭证，发行总收益为8.866亿美元。

In addition, underwriters can oversubscribe 30 million depositary receipts within 858 days. As a result, the IPO financing amount of Juren Network will reach US$10.45 billion.

……

After the banquet, a slightly tipsy Shi Yuzhu returned to the hotel suite. He did not choose to rest directly, but instead called together his capable subordinates.

It can be seen that the others also have rosy faces and are too excited to sleep.

After all, the listing of Juren Network has created another wealth legend.

Based on the issue price, 21 of Juren Network's executives and senior technical personnel became billionaires by holding Juren depositary receipts, and 186 became millionaires and tens of millions of dollars.

Anyone who becomes rich overnight would be so excited that he would be unable to sleep. Everyone was chatting and laughing, talking about things like buying houses, traveling around the world, etc.

Shi Yuzhu didn't care. He thought that if he had money, he should enjoy it. Otherwise, why would he work so hard?

Ji Xuewei took out a piece of paper and handed it over. "Mr. Shi, this is the press release we drafted. Please take a look."

Shi Yuzhu lowered his head and took a quick glance.

“矩人网络集团有限公司于美国东部时间1月2日9:45分以18.25美元的开盘价成功登陆美国纽约证券交易所。截至记者发稿时，股价盘中曾摸高至19.75美元。

Based on the issue price, the total market value of JuRen Network reached US$42 billion, making it the largest Chinese private enterprise to issue shares in the United States. It also became the largest IT company to issue shares in the United States outside the United States.

International investors highly recognize Giant Interactive, and are particularly confident in its strong independent research and development capabilities, complete product intellectual property rights, large and efficient marketing network, and ability to grasp the Chinese market and users.

The funds raised by Giant Network will be invested in four main directions: strengthening the construction of R&D centers, further strengthening the marketing network, purchasing newer and better servers, and providing players with better services.

Acquire other online game companies, select outstanding R&D teams with potential for mergers and acquisitions, and represent foreign high-quality games. "

Shi Yuzhu pondered for a moment and commented: "It's well written, but it's still missing something."

Ji Xuewei immediately picked up the pen and prepared to listen to Shi Yuzhu's instructions.

“This is the largest Chinese private enterprise in the United States that has issued shares, and we need to emphasize this.”

JuRen Network is currently the largest private enterprise in China to have an IPO in the United States, and the largest IT company to have an IPO outside the United States.

Before Giant Interactive entered the US stock market, Chinese local Internet elites got there first, but none of them raised more than $2 million. Shanda raised more than $1 million, NetEase less than $1 million, The 1.8 only tens of millions of dollars, and Perfect World $ million.

Later, Qin Shaoyan's Sentinel Technologies broke this record and reached US$8 million.

Giant Interactive's IPO in the United States raised $10.45 billion, setting a new record.

For Shi Yuzhu, this matter must be written into a big story. As long as he can surpass Qin Shaoyan, he will be very happy.

"Also, I would like to highlight YP Technology." Shi Yuzhu added, "In the future, our focus at Juren Network will be on developing overseas game markets, especially the casual game market in the United States."

Liu Wei also chimed in, "Facebook held a points exchange gift event on New Year's Day, which attracted hundreds of thousands of users to register. They think it's time to open up recharge."

Shi Yuzhu nodded happily, "This fortune has come, and it cannot be stopped." "Tell the people at YP Technology to fully cooperate with Facebook's activities. After the Chinese New Year, all bonuses will be doubled, not tripled! Spend money when you need to, don't be stingy."

"This overwhelming wealth is coming down, let's see who can catch it!"

Liu Wei said excitedly: "Tomorrow the stock price of Juren Network will rise again!"

……

"boom!"

A large vase was thrown heavily against the wall and broke into pieces instantly.

"Shi Yuzhu! You're going too far!" Chen Yuanzong's face was ferocious, he clenched his fists and roared with gritted teeth.

The stock price of Juren Network was rising wildly, and Chen Yuanzong's heart seemed to be cut by a knife. It was no longer just bleeding but spurting blood wildly.

At this time, Chen Yuanzong had already realized that he had been deceived. What Google supported was the free operation of "Online Texas Hold'em" and that it was considering not charging any fees within three to five years.

It's all fake, Liu Wei is just making a fool of him.

Relying on this trick, he forced himself to cancel the gambling agreement, and then bought all the shares in his hands at a low price.

How could I be so stupid as to sell a treasure pot at such a low price!

Chen Yuanzong regretted it so much that he smashed his house to pieces.

He also knew that he was not big enough to compete with the opponent, who could easily control him.

Even if you have seen through the other party's scheme before, you still have to buy or sell in the end.

But no matter how clear it was, Chen Yuanzong just couldn't swallow this humiliation.

Why do you make so much money and are so happy, but you kick me out?

Chen Yuanzong immediately took out his mobile phone, found Fang Ziwei's number and dialed it. A few seconds later, he was shocked to find that the other party's mobile number was out of service area?

What the hell is this guy doing?
Fortunately, Chen Yuanzong was not an ordinary person and he quickly calmed down.

He quickly turned on the computer and said through gritted teeth: "If you rely on the mountain, the mountain will run; if you rely on the tree, the tree will fall; in the end, you have to rely on yourself."

After trying several server commands, he found out that he had been banned, but he didn't panic.

This is completely normal and JuRen Network will definitely deal with it after taking over YP Technology.

However, Chen Yuanzong still let Fang Ziwei keep a trick up his sleeve. After some operations, he obtained the administrator privileges of the server and secretly logged into the backend of "Online Texas Hold'em".

"I make you laugh! I make you charge!"

"I let you guys trick me!"

Chen Yuanzong's operation was ferocious and crazy. He used the administrator's authority to distribute one million game chips to each user in the background, and then issued high-level VIP membership to each user.

……

The stock price of Juren Network quickly broke through $20 and is heading towards $23.

YP Technology's "Online Texas Hold'em" has performed brilliantly. Facebook and Google have invested considerable resources in supporting it and have also announced commercial operations.

Stimulated by a series of good news, the stock price of JuRen Network has been rising more and more rapidly, and is about to reach $30.

When the stock price reached $28, Shi Yuzhu couldn't sit still and said, "It's too fast, too fast!"

Shi Yuzhu rubbed his hands and laughed, his net worth was about to soar.

Peng Xiaolin, Liu Wei and others congratulated him, "Mr. Shi, congratulations! If you continue like this, you will be the new richest man in China in a week!"

"Alas, it's just an empty title, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning." Shi Yuzhu said reservedly, "What's the use of a mere title of the richest man?"

"I'm not like Qin Shaoyan, who is obsessed with the title of the richest man. It's better for people to be down-to-earth."

"Mr. Shi, what you said is great! It's thought-provoking! It's valuable advice!" Peng Xiaolin immediately praised loudly.

He was very unhappy with Qin Shaoyan, but he could do nothing about him. The two of them had a tacit understanding about Qin Shaoyan.

Just as everyone was talking and laughing, an assistant came in hurriedly with a serious face, walked up to Liu Wei and whispered something.

Liu Wei's face froze instantly. He stared at the other person with an incredible look, "How could this happen?!"

"What do they eat?!"

The assistant remained silent. He didn't know what was going on and couldn't answer the boss's questions.

Shi Yuzhu glanced at Liu Wei and asked, "What happened?"

Liu Wei forced a smile and said, "There's a small problem. I'll have someone deal with it right away."

Shi Yuzhu nodded, not caring, turned his head and continued to stare at the stock price of Juren Network, and then the next second the expression on his face froze.

The stock price of Juren Network seems to be going down...

He shook his head, thinking he had seen it wrong.

"It fell, why did it fall?" A cry of surprise came from the crowd, and then quickly died down under the stern gazes of everyone.

Everyone's heart tightened when they found that the stock price of JuRen Network had risen from US$28.3 to US$27.

"Don't panic, it's just a technical adjustment." Shi Yuzhu said calmly, with the demeanor of a great general. "As for the stock price, it's normal for it to go up and down..."

Before he finished speaking, the stock price of Juren Network fell again to US$26 and US$25. The speed of the dive was jaw-dropping.

Everyone present was stunned. No one knew what was happening and the whole place was dead silent.

Peng Xiaolin's voice was distorted as he screamed, "What on earth happened?!"

"..." Liu Wei hesitated for a moment, "There was a little operational error in online Texas Hold'em, and our people are correcting it."

Shi Yuzhu turned his head suddenly, and asked with red eyes: "How serious is it?"

"The server needs to be rolled back, which will take some time." Liu Wei said quickly, "We already have a response strategy. We will shut down the server first, fix the bug, and then compensate the users..."

"What happened?" Shi Yuzhu asked.

Before Liu Wei could say anything, someone suddenly exclaimed, "Oh no, someone is shorting us!"

Shi Yuzhu's eyes went dark.
