Chapter 1464 is a worthwhile trip
Shen Ya stopped and looked at the white man with cold eyes. His aggressive tone made him feel extremely uncomfortable at this moment, which was not in a good mood.
"Then what explanation do you want? For Mr. Shen to step down as president and apologize?"
A neither gentle nor serious voice came from one side. Shen Ya was startled and looked over. Lu Heng nodded to him.
At this time, Shen Ya really didn't want to get angry with shareholders. Instead of letting him create a stalemate in the relationship, it would be better for Lu Heng, who is also an investor, to come forward.
Jerry glanced at Lu Heng and felt angry.
"If you hadn't insisted on supporting Shen Ya at the beginning, why would we be in the current situation?"
Lu Heng said in a deep voice: "What's the situation? Did the listing fail?"
Jerry didn't give up at all, "That's definitely not a success!"
Lu Heng snorted coldly: "In terms of capital acquisition, of course it is not a success. But it is obvious that our strategic goal for this listing is to become a listed company and the subsequent continuous exposure to the stock market. That's it. From this point of view, Mr. Shen has never failed."
"What about the income of our shareholders? Speaking of which, I have to wonder, Lu Heng, whether you have a private transaction with Shen Ya and the others. Otherwise, why have you been so supportive of him?"
Jerry suppressed his anger. Yes, he was angry.
Even if the development process of this listing has verified his original prediction, he can ridicule Shen Ya, Lu Heng and the others without any scruples.
But in the final analysis, the return on his investment this time was not maximized, and he had reason to be angry.
"You can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense!" Lu Heng said seriously, his face becoming extremely serious.
Rolling his eyes, Lu Heng restrained himself and suddenly smiled.
"Actually, judging from Vipshop's current market value, it is worthy of your initial investment. If you feel disappointed, you might as well sell your shares. There must be people willing to take over, such as me."
Jerry was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "I won't quit until I get multiple returns, which means failure. I don't want to accept failure yet!"
"Then why are you still chattering here and making fun of others?"
"you!"
Adrian, who had white hair, stepped forward, pulled Jerry, and then smiled at everyone.
"Anyway, it's a smooth listing today, and the strategic goal has been achieved. There's no need to worry about the small profits, and there's no need to talk about it in the hotel corridor. The media is watching. Let's talk about it after we go in!"
Jerry snorted coldly, waved his hands and left.
Lu Heng smiled at Adrian, patted Shen Ya on the shoulder, and walked to the restaurant.
"Let's go, everyone has been working for so long and we are all hungry."
This brief but sharp verbal confrontation was eliminated due to Adrian's dissuasion.
In fact, everyone knows that Jerry should not be so impatient. Even if Jerry calms down after leaving, he should have done something stupid.
At this critical moment, asking Shen Ya to give him an explanation is tantamount to sentencing Vipshop to death.
Shareholders and even foreign investors are not optimistic about Vipshop from China. If at this critical moment, Shen Ya is forced to step down by a group of shareholders on the board of directors, and there is turmoil in the management, it will only bring huge negative consequences to Vipshop. Influence.
By then, every one of the Vipshop shareholders present will benefit, and no one will be able to benefit.
The silent lunch did not last long and ended quickly.
Some people continued to pay attention to the stock market, some were interviewed by the media in the hotel, and some people began to communicate with other colleagues after taking a break.
Lu Heng was the third type of person. At this moment, he made several calls in succession, most of them were from China, and Kalanick also learned that he had come to the United States and invited him to go out for a party.
Lu Heng set a time with him and started chatting with several other friends in the room about Vipshop's listing.
Among them, none are more concerned about this matter than Li Xiang and Li Xueliang. Because their company is about to go public.
"Lu Heng, I finally understand the importance of timing you mentioned, thanks to your efforts to dissuade me. If I followed Xunlei's pace and went public last year, even if I performed better than Xunlei and successfully went public, I'm afraid I would end up in trouble.
Let’s fall to the level of today’s Vipshop!”
On the phone, Li Xueliang's tone was rather sad.
In this regard, Lu Heng was noncommittal, did not take credit, and did not comment on Vipshop's listing.
He just said something after chatting with Li Xueling for a while.
"Let's wait another half a year, then we'll see!"
On the other end, Li Xueling hesitated for a moment, "You mean, Vipshop still has a chance?"
"The death penalty isn't pronounced yet, right?"
Lu Heng said with a smile: "Happy Times and Vipshop are not Internet companies with the same positioning. We can learn from their listing experience, but they cannot copy it. And who can accurately predict what Vipshop will do next?"
Can it buck the trend and rise?”
Li Xueling murmured: "If it really goes against the trend and rises, then it will really be a good time to go public."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Heng chatted with Li Xiang again.
Compared with Li Xueling's sigh, Li Xiang's mood was very complicated.
The Wall Street stock market's distrust of Chinese concept stocks is not good news for him, which means that Autohome will not benefit from listing at this time.
But from another perspective, if Autohome does not go public for one day, then he can stay in the company he founded for one more day.
I can't tell you what it was like, but after Li Xiang and Lu Heng briefly chatted for a while, they hung up the phone.
Not to mention these two successful people who were interested in listing their company, the call from Chen Ou made Lu Heng feel very comfortable.
Chen Ou expressed his congratulations to Lu Heng on the listing of Vipshop.
It's not a sarcasm, it's a genuine and sincere congratulations.
In fact, this is the norm. Anyone who looks at Lu Heng would feel that Lu Heng is not a failure at this moment. After all, among the companies he invested in, Vipshop only had one year before it went public.
From this point of view, Lu Heng's vision is still very sharp.
As for whether the investment will eventually yield a profit, no one can yet make a conclusion on this matter, and there is still a long way to go.
The future is promising, but right now, we have to look at it.
In the evening, Shen Ya found Lu Heng and took no one else with him. Lu Heng only brought a bodyguard with him, and then the two of them walked outside the New York Stock Exchange.
With his hands behind his back, Shen Ya looked up at the building, which was neither high nor low, with no expression on his face.
A cigarette was handed to his mouth. Shen Ya came back to his senses and lit it.
The curling smoke was rising. In this foreign country, Shen Ya slowly squatted on the curb and shook the ashes into the sewer.
Lu Heng sat on the pile, playing with a lighter, not smoking, but looking at the man with interest.
He wasn't quite sure why Shen Ya came out to him alone instead of calling anyone else. Maybe it was because of the strong trust he had shown during this period!
What Lu Heng wants to know now is what is going on in Shen Ya's mind at the moment.
"Just now the stock market closed. The issue price of our stock dropped all the way to US$6.5 per share. It broke at the opening and dropped wildly to US$4. As of just now, it finally closed at an average of US$5.5 per share. It was down 100% from the issue price. Fifteen.”
Shen Ya spoke unhurriedly, without looking at Lu Heng or the stock exchange in front of him. He just smoked with increased intensity.
"I can probably predict the domestic financial news tomorrow. The highlight should be our company's listing. What title will they use? Let me think about it. Bloody listing? Reckless timing due to discord? Loser... "
Lu Heng closed the lighter lid and asked with interest: "Then what do you think?"
Shen Ya turned back and glanced at Lu Heng, "I don't have any ideas. Just keep doing whatever you have to do. These things won't affect me."
Lu Heng gave a thumbs up.
"Thank you for speaking for me today."
"It's nothing. After all, it's related to my interests. After all, no one is more suitable than you to take charge of Vipshop. I'm still waiting for you to double my investment."
Shen Ya rarely smiled, "You are quite straightforward. Okay, I won't let you lose all your money."
After putting out the cigarette butt and throwing it into the sewer, Shen Ya stood up and clapped his hands.
"Although this trip to the United States is a bit regretful, it is considered a worthwhile trip."
Lu Heng nodded, he also felt that this trip was worth it.
Compared with Shen Ya's achievement of strategic goals, his gains lie in other aspects.
This is the first time that he has witnessed the listing of a company with his own eyes, and this is also the first time in his life.
Since this is the first time, I imagine that similar scenes will follow one after another in the future!
