Winning the new financial era

Chapter 187 Listing on NASDAQ
"I read from the information that Yimin Wangjin has been established for less than two years.

In just 21 months, a NASDAQ listed company was created.

My God, what a miracle.

I really want to visit China, a magical land. "

I don't know if Goldman Sachs has benefited Anna, but the flattery is so loud.

"That's very welcome!
Ms. Anna is in China, and she must go to Zhongguancun, the capital city, to see it. That is China's "Silicon Valley", where entrepreneurship is in full swing. "

Zhang Yida did not forget the well digger when he was drinking water, and sent a wave of advertisements to "Zhongguancun".

Anna flipped through the interview script, entered the next question, and asked:

"Mr. Zhang Yida, the Capital University you are currently studying at is said to be the top university in China.

Only 140 people are admitted every year in your hometown Sichuan Province, while the competition is 56 people...

One to four thousand acceptance rate!
Did your family provide you with an elite education? "

"No, I went to public schools from kindergarten to high school.

My family is not rich, just an ordinary family.Neither of my parents went to college, and they opened a small processing factory..."

Entrepreneurs must adhere to the "ordinary family" personality, and Zhang Yida is no exception.

The second generation of the rich start a business and succeed, and no one will sing praises.

Failed, sorry, everyone doesn't mind stepping on it.

"Mr. Zhang Yida also has a shared bicycle company called Huimin Bicycle, which has settled in more than 100 cities in China and put 170 million bicycles in the cities for public use."

Anna first introduced Huimin bicycles, and then asked:
"Huimin Bike has already entered Singapore, will it operate in the United States in the future?"

"Of course, we are already planning this matter.

My goal is to make most countries in the world fall in love with this green way of travel, reducing carbon emissions and air pollution..."

Zhang Yida spoke righteously and instantly became an environmental protection fighter.

"Mr. Zhang Yida is not only an environmental protection fighter, but also an animal protection activist.

He owns a pet e-commerce company called Pate.com, which provides online shopping for pet products, pet medical treatment, trusteeship, pet social networking... and many other services.

Every year, Petnet donates a portion of its materials to animal protection organizations and stray animal shelters..."

The two chatted about Patenet, and Zhang Yida went on to say:

"In addition to what Ms. Anna mentioned above, Patenet has also established pet love organizations in various cities in China and recruited a large number of volunteers.

The concept that Patenet has always promoted is: respect every life and treat animals kindly.

Although the road ahead is difficult, Patenet will continue to adhere to this philosophy and call for more people to join us..."

Petnet is definitely one of the most caring animal protection organizations in China. We often see caring volunteers wearing vests with the "Petnet Logo" feeding stray cats and dogs in China.

Then this touching scene was uploaded to various websites by the "passing by" people, and the dog food and cat food sold better and better...

"Enthusiastic about public welfare and helping the poor with loans. This is also a label of Mr. Zhang Yida.

Huinongdai Company under the name of Mr. Zhang Yida has issued hundreds of millions of dollars of low-interest start-up loans to poor families in remote mountainous areas of China.

The loan objects are farmers, herdsmen, and handicraft practitioners.

After they got the loan, they used it to purchase means of production, expand their business, and get rid of poverty.

This microfinance model can be traced back to the Grameen Bank of the Nobel Peace Prize winner-Professor Yunus of Bangladesh.

At present, the loans have benefited 5 households..."

"This kind of entrepreneurial loan helps to stimulate a person's self-motivation.

Poor people are sometimes not only economically poor, but also spiritually poor.

Through this kind of entrepreneurial loan, it can help a person regain a sense of accomplishment and regain confidence in life. "

Zhang Yida talked to Anna, and began to explain the mystery of this model to her.

"I feel this model is better than our country's 'relief money' model.

Spiritual poverty, this sentence is so philosophical. "

Zhang Yida didn't answer, just smiled, it's not convenient for him, a foreigner, to comment on the relief fund model.

Talk nonsense, niggas and some white bums don't tear him up.

"Okay, today's interview is over.

Congratulations to Mr. Zhang and wish him a complete success in his IPO journey. "

The show ended here, Zhang Yida declined Anna's request to "have dinner" and turned around to leave the New York TV station.

Anna looked at his leaving back resentfully, and thought: What a perfect oriental man!It's just a little incomprehensible.

After the broadcast of the interview program, Zhang Yida's popularity in the United States has greatly increased. Many Americans know that there is such a 20-year-old entrepreneurial hero in China.

At the same time, Zhang Yida also gained a large number of fans, mainly from the three major groups of "environmentalists", "public welfare activists" and "animal protection activists".

If you add a person who does not exclude the same sex and black skin, then the "political correctness" skill is almost full.

……

The second stop of the Yimin.com Gold Roadshow was Boston. With the fundraising achievements in New York and the interviews and reports from major media, the roadshow was very successful.

After listening to Zhang Yida's business introduction on stage, representatives of dozens of investment institutions expressed their investment intentions one after another. According to the last statistics, they intended to subscribe for nearly US$2 million.

Then Atlanta, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Houston, Chicago, Los Angeles and more than a dozen major cities went to the road show, and together they received nearly 20 billion US dollars in intentional subscription.

Then Zhang Yida led the road show team to Hong Kong, London, Singapore and other places, and received more than 20 billion US dollars of intentional subscriptions.

After nearly 2 weeks of roadshow rush, the roadshow finally came to an end.

In the last inventory, the intended subscription amount of Yimin Wangjin Group reached 47.5 billion US dollars, and the oversubscription ratio was nearly 6 times.

In view of the good subscription situation, brokerage firms such as Goldman Sachs exercised the over-allotment option and set the IPO issuance scale at 3450 million ADSs.

The original issue price of US$22.5/ADS~US$25/ADS was also taken at a higher value, and the final issue price was set at US$25.

……

7:20 a.m. ET, July 9.

Standing in front of the bell-ringing platform with the "Nasdaq" Logo printed on it, Zhang Yida pressed the electronic button, colored paper was flying, and applause and cheers continued.

Standing beside Zhang Yida, Fan Hongyang, Ding Siyao, Shen Beipeng, and Chang Changqing also had happy smiles and shared this glorious moment together.

"Yimin Wangjin (YM. NASDAQ), opened up 21.2% to close at $30.3, with a market capitalization of $71.05 billion."

"Yimin Wangjin (YM. NASDAQ) listed on NASDAQ, with an issue price of US$25/ADS, raising US$8.625 million, becoming the first overseas share of a Chinese Internet finance company."

The information about the successful listing of Yimin Wangjin was quickly sent back to China by the domestic reporters who were standing guard on the Nasdaq exchange.

Reports came out quickly:
"Yimin.com Jincheng No. [-] Internet Finance Stock"

"21 Months, $71.05 Billion, A Moment to Witness Miracles"

"20-year-old Zhang Yida is the youngest CEO of a listed company in Nasdaq in 44 years"

"The post-95 Zhang Yida holds a 47.51% stake in Yimin Wangjin, and his net worth has risen by another 33.8 billion U.S. dollars"

A post by Zhang Yida ringing the bell was also posted on the Weiming Lake BBS of Peking University: "Congratulations to Zhang Yida, an outstanding alumnus of our school, on the successful listing on NASDAQ"

"Damn it, the company went public before graduating from university." A passing student commented.

"I thought that when I entered university, everyone was on the same starting line, but you ended up standing at the finish line."

"What the hell is this Yimin Wangjin? Isn't it Ruixiang? It changed its name? Isn't the valuation worth tens of billions of dollars? How come it's only 70 billion when it's listed?

Did it break? "

"Reply upstairs, Yimin Wangjin and Ruixiang are two independent companies, but they have a common shareholder named Zhang Yida."

"Let me take stock of Zhang Yida's business empire: Ruixiang's 100 billion US dollars, Yimin Wangjin's 71 billion US dollars, Huimin Bicycle's 18 billion US dollars..."

"Stop trading, is it okay if I take it? A cry from the little dick on the third floor."

……

"Yida! I want to die right now!"

Zhang Yida took out his phone and saw such a WeChat message with an emoji of vomiting blood.

Zhang Yida smiled. Before Xu Xiaoming went public, he jumped off the car at a valuation of 20 billion US dollars and liquidated all his shares. He is now complaining to him.

Zhang Yida replied by typing:

"Ms. Xu, it's okay. The stock price is only rising now. What will happen in a year or so? I don't know what's going on?

There are good projects in the future, and you must be the first to think of your old man. "

Zhang Yida put away his mobile phone and began to be interviewed by reporters.

"Mr. Zhang, can you tell us about your current mood?"

a reporter asked.

"I'm still very happy. This is my first listed company. I have devoted a lot of effort in my entrepreneurial journey..."

Zhang Yida started talking to reporters, sharing the hardships of starting a business.

Fan Hongyang and Ding Siyao, as co-founders, were also surrounded by reporters and began to interview them.

"May I ask Mr. Fan, how did Mr. Zhang impress you to start a business together with him?

As far as I know, you gave up Ahri's middle-level position, cut your salary and entered Yimin Wangjin in the start-up period. "

"Yes, there is such a thing. At that time, I chatted with Mr. Zhang for an afternoon, and he explained to me the entrepreneurial idea of ​​Yimin Wangjin...

Then I was moved. I went back to Lin'an, packed my luggage and came to the capital. "

When Fan Hongyang talked about this, the smile on his face never stopped.

Xindao: This is probably the most correct choice I have made in the past 30 years!
A reporter also asked Ding Siyao:
"Mr. Ding, it is said that you joined Yimin Wangjin shortly after graduating from university and became one of the co-founders.

What kind of opportunity made you join Yimin Wangjin? "

"Fate! I was working as an intern in a loan company at the time, and I happened to meet Mr. Zhang for a loan.

I treated him to a meal.Not long after that, he invited me to go north to the capital to start a business..."

Ding Siyao glanced at Zhang Yida and thought: Sometimes choice is more important than hard work.If you follow the right person, your destiny will be changed.

If he hadn't met Zhang Yida, maybe he was still in that loan company in Rongcheng!
With luck, I get a salary of 3 to [-] yuan a month, and then step by step to climb up to supervisor, manager...

"Mr. Shen, your investment vision is still as good as ever.

When you invested in Yimin Wangjin, what did you value about them? "

A reporter asked Shen Beipeng a question.

"Investing...is investing in people! I am firmly optimistic about Zhang Yida, and I have made a big bet on every one of his entrepreneurial projects.

If I want to sum up him, the most prominent advantage is his forward-looking strategic vision..."

Shen Beipeng said with a smile, he has invested in so many projects of Zhang Yida, Yimin Wangjin is only the first IPO, and I believe the second and third will not be long.
