After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 572 The Concept of the Celestial System
Lu Liang was very pleased that Li Bing was so considerate.

He took one last look at NIO's stock price and left the Nasdaq Stock Exchange.

Ten minutes after opening, the stock price fell back slightly and the market value hovered around 10 billion US dollars. That’s probably how it will be today.

Unless there are some impressive results in the next six months, the stock price will continue to fall until it returns to its true value.

But anyway, it is a good start for Didi's listing the day after tomorrow.

After NIO went public, Lu Liang only held 9.5% of the shares, and after Didi went public, only 1.8% remained.

The former's current stock value is US$9.8 million, and the latter's stock value is tentatively set at US$11.16 billion.

All are pretty good.

Investing in NIO has brought a return rate of up to 880% in more than two years.

Although investing in Didi is more time-consuming and laborious, and the current return rate is only 11.16%, the potential returns are no worse than those of NIO.

In addition to being able to enhance the experience of Tianxing car machines, Didi is also one of the three super unicorn companies in the new era of the Internet, the others being ByteDance and Meituan.

Among the three giants of TMD, one is completely controlled by Lu Liang, one is held by him, and the general manager was promoted by him personally.

Only Meituan is left, which has nothing to do with him, but is still pretty good. Among the three companies, they account for one and a half.

Once Lu Liang develops Tianxing Automobile, the domestic situation of two super companies and many strong companies will become a three-way competition.

The Ahri series, the Penguin series, and his Sky system series.

After the celebration banquet at noon, Lu Liang returned to his sea view mansion in East Hampton.

Emma was very sensible and obedient. She went out early in the morning and dyed her hair blonde, turning back into an American sweetheart.

There is just one slight drawback: the climate in New York is similar to that in Shanghai. It is still very cold in April.

This prevented Lu Liang from wearing sunglasses, lying under a parasol, and comfortably looking at the sea view, the beach, and the beautiful girl.

When Emma learned about this, she smiled slyly and said that if Lu Liang came, she would find a way to satisfy him even if he wanted the stars in the sky.

So she heated up the pool, put on a swimsuit that was no bigger than a palm, and walked up to Lu Liang and whispered, "I wonder if we actors are all very cold-resistant?"

"But I can't bear to let you get cold."

Lu Liang smiled as he stroked Emma's slender waist with his fingertips. His pores suddenly opened up and goose bumps appeared.

Emma shuddered, glared coquettishly, sat on Lu Liang's thigh, twisted her body intentionally or unintentionally, felt the revival, and smiled with narrowed eyes: "It doesn't seem to think so."

"Because it was overwhelmed by your charm."

Lu Liang spent a dissolute day and night in his sea view mansion in East Hampton.

It was not until the next evening that Lu Liang returned to the Lao Te Hotel in the city, waiting for Didi's listing the next day.

It is true that distance creates beauty. He likes foreign girls largely out of curiosity.

If Emma were in the country, the two of them would meet every now and then, and Lu Liang might have gotten tired of her a long time ago.

He always thought of himself as a traditional man, for example, he only liked East Asian beauties and had three wives and four concubines.

The next morning at 558:, Didi was listed on the New York Stock Exchange with a market value of US$ billion and the stock code IDID.

The issue price was US$7.25. The size was indeed too large and there was no premium at all in several IPO roadshows.

The listing date is the same as the initial issue price.

The several market-related institutions responsible for Didi seem to be getting something for free, but there are also benefits to contracting large-scale companies to go public.

They can find a savings pool for their funds, and later they can lend out stocks to earn interest.

Market makers responsible for issuing stocks, like banks, find it difficult to lose money and there are always ways to make money.

Thanks to NIO’s listing the day before yesterday, although the final closing increase was only 62.85%, it was still 62% after all.

This caused the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, and other authoritative media to rush to report on it, and they were generous with their praises.

"The spring of Chinese concept stocks is here again."

“Didi is the next JD.com and Alibaba.”

"Three times in three years, ten times in five years, are you still hesitating?"

Although there are few retail investors in the U.S. stock market, there are retail investors from all over the world, as well as some small and medium-sized hot money.

In this market, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimps, small and medium-sized hot money harvests retail investors, but they will also be harvested by large institutions.

NIO is too small, with a market value of tens of billions of dollars, but only ten billion shares in circulation on the day of listing, so there is simply not enough pie to go around.

But Didi is different. With a market capitalization of US$558 billion, it had US$55.8 billion in outstanding shares on its listing day.

There is relatively large operating space.

When new stocks are listed, there is indeed no option of short selling through margin lending in the short term, but that only applies to small and medium-sized investors.

Large institutions subscribed as early as the IPO and won a considerable number of shares.

They could simply sign an agreement to borrow the stocks first and then return them to him later.

Moreover, the companies that provide short selling margin lending and the short sellers are often two departments under their own investment banks.

Large institutions also have an unparalleled advantage: they rarely look at short-term returns, but only at overall returns.

For example, if you lose $4 million or $5 million in April, as long as you make $ million or $ million in May, you will be able to make a profit on average.

Didi is bullish in the long term and doesn’t care about short-term gains, so there is a possibility of manipulation. At 9:30, Didi officially landed on the New York Stock Exchange.

It opened with a 12% surge, attracting retail investors and small and medium-sized institutions, and then began to plunge.

The K-line dives directly downward.
In the blink of an eye, the increase was only 2.5%.

Those who chased high prices were cut and cried for their parents, with the least being trapped by five or six points, and the most being eight or nine points.

New stocks cannot be shorted, especially from large A-share investors, who seem to smell a familiar smell.

They can only comfort themselves that everything is an illusion and they have broken free from the cage.

At least if you buy today, you can sell today.

The options left for them include cutting their losses, not just covering their positions.

"Let's go, have a meal, and go back in the afternoon."

Lu Liang snapped his fingers at Cheng Wei, telling him not to pay too much attention to those messy things.

They are all original shareholders and cannot sell a single share within six months. There is no point in looking at this now.

"Boss Lu, we won't break even today, right?"

Cheng Wei was reluctant to leave, his face full of worry.

The Xiaomi incident is still fresh in my mind.

But Lei Jun actually made 99 billion last year, and Didi still has no plans to distribute dividends.

If the stock price fell below the issue price, it would be fine to be criticized, but the key is that no money was cashed out, which is unfair.

"It's absolutely impossible to crack it, so let them play by themselves." Lu Liang shook his head and showed a mysterious smile.

There is a premise for doing this on the first day of listing, which shows that they are optimistic about the long-term prospects and plan to hold on for a long time.

Because today, institutions that provide short selling privately are destined to suffer losses, but as long as they hold the stocks for a long time, the floating losses will only be floating losses, not actual losses.

Lu Liang smiled and said: "If the company is short of money in the future, it can directly raise funds from the market."

"Anyway, there are so many institutions involved. It's not a big problem to raise $30 to $50 billion every year or so."

Cheng Wei suddenly realized, and he felt relieved after hearing what Lu Liang said.

Li Bing's face was full of envy.
He understood that it was the same person but different fates.

Institutions intend to hold Didi for a long time, so they play this way and don't care about short-term losses.

On the other hand, NIO may play for two or three months and then cash out when the opportunity arises.

Leaving the market in a mess.

Just like a panda.

However, Panda’s stock price is relatively resistant to declines because Lu Liang and other board members have not announced any share reduction.

Li Bing looked at Lu Liang pitifully. Lu Liang seemed to see through his thoughts and said with a smile: "I won't reduce my holdings for two or three years."

He is still waiting for the day when NIO’s market value approaches 100 billion yuan. That will be the best time for him to cash out.

However, Lu Liang was not sure whether the opportunity still existed now.

The day when NIO’s market value reached US$983 billion was only two days away from the day when Tesla’s market value reached US$1.2 trillion.

Lu Liang had reason to suspect that there would be some kind of linkage between the two families in the future, just like the Dragon One and Dragon Two of the plate.

Now he has begun to target Tesla and gradually shatter its magic ring, and NIO is very likely to be affected as well.

“Mr. Lu, you are so optimistic about our NIO.” Upon hearing this, Old Li immediately smiled happily.

He trusted Lu Liang's vision very much, but he did not expect that in the increasingly competitive new energy industry, Lu Liang believed that NIO could survive another three years.

From this perspective, NIO and its battery swap station plan are very likely to stand out in this ever-changing market.

In the fierce business competition, especially in new industries, you don’t need to work hard, as long as you survive, you are the winner.

In the true sense, we are all living hard. The winner is the king, and the survivor is the queen.

Lu Liang glanced at him sideways, speechless.

After lunch, they both went to the New York airport and boarded Lu Liang's plane to return home.

Both companies have just gone public and have cash flows of tens of billions and hundreds of billions of dollars, so they can both afford to buy planes.

But if Li Bing dares to use the raised funds to buy airplanes, NIO’s investors will definitely block his door overnight.

Cheng Wei is qualified, but before this, Liu Qing had always had the final say in Didi, and his mentality has not changed.

So, both of them decided to take a ride on Lu Liang's plane.

"This flight goes directly to Tokyo. You can buy your own connecting tickets to China later."

Tokyo and Magic City are actually not far apart, but if there is nothing to do, Lu Liang is usually too lazy to go out.

But once he goes out, he will think that since he is already here, he might as well go and take a look.

Wen Chao is a young man after all. Power should be caged and regulated, and connivance is also a crime.
