Chapter 688 Ruixiang goes public (Part 2)
The next day, Zhang Yida, dressed in a decent suit, walked out of the Peninsula Hotel surrounded by a group of people.
The Hong Kong reporters, foreign reporters and mainland reporters who were waiting here immediately started taking pictures. A few people wanted to rush forward for a two-minute surprise interview, but were blocked by the security guard outside the human wall.
Zhang Yida waved to them and got into the car directly.
A convoy of more than a dozen Rolls-Royces drove directly to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in Central.
When he arrived at the place, Zhang Yida was still a little surprised.
The gate of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange was already crowded with reporters and investors who came to watch the ceremony.
"Such a grand occasion is really rare!"
Shen Beipeng stood behind Zhang Yida, adjusted his glasses and praised.
Other shareholders, such as SoftBank Masayoshi Son, Temasek Lee Heng Bo, Abu Dhabi Investment Authority Mansour... investors from different countries got off the bus one by one.
Everyone has different emotions when seeing such a scene.
In the crowd, someone shouted "Shenxian Zhang" in Cantonese.
This made several mainland investors burst into laughter. It was very similar to the "Fairy Li" in Lijiacheng!
However, one is an aging real estate profiteer, and the other is a rising technology tycoon.
Although accounting for hidden wealth, the Li Jiacheng family may not be weaker than Zhang Yida.
But in terms of the social value created, the two cannot be compared.
Everyone walked into the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and saw a huge gong on the stage.
Zhang Yida recognized it at a glance. It was a gong worth 300,000 customized by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange from the mainland last year.
Listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is not done by ringing the electronic listing bell, but by manually ringing the gong.
The electronic screen wall behind the giant gong now displays Ruixiang’s cartoon elephant logo and company introduction.
At 9 o'clock, Zhang Yida came on stage and began to deliver a speech.
“Today is the sixth anniversary of the establishment of Ruixiang, and it is also the day when Ruixiang went public.
From a start-up in the Beijing University campus incubator six years ago, to Ruixiang Digital Technology Group, which now covers more than 150 countries around the world.
We are very grateful to our investors, friends, partners, and users for their continued support and companionship, and for exploring the future with us.
Today we invited 12 user representatives from six continents around the world to announce the launch of Ruixiang.
These 12 users from all over the world also represent the future of Ruixiang and the globalization of Ruixiang.
Special thanks to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. It is thanks to the innovation of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange that we have the opportunity to be listed in Hong Kong.
Of course, we are also grateful to the era we live in. The development of the Internet and the digital age has given us the opportunity to connect with users in 150 countries on six continents around the world..."
The three major live broadcast platforms of DouShi, Kuaishou and Bilibili are currently broadcasting the bell-ringing ceremony live. Many interested netizens are waiting in front of their computers and mobile phones early to watch the listing ceremony of Qi Ruixiang.
The environments are different. Some people are at home, some are in the bus, some are in the subway, and some are in the office. They are all looking forward to what kind of market value Ruixiang will gain.
Unlike Jack Ma and Bonima, young people in the workplace today are more interested in Zhang Yida.
The two horses became famous too early, which is equivalent to the great power of the Internet in ancient times.
And Zhang Yida successfully became enlightened at the age of 24 under their witness step by step!
Looking at Zhang Yida talking eloquently on the stage without any speech notes.
That kind of high-spirited, that kind of free and easy, they understood again: your peers are abandoning you, not just talking.
Zhang Yida stood in the center of the gong, flanked by twelve users of DouYu and Musical.ly, with different ages and skin colors.
They all wore custom short-sleeved T-shirts printed with TikTok and Musical.ly's logo, which is a "music symbol."
The same scene also played out on the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
Lin Zhenyang was also standing next to a dozen invited users, wearing T-shirts with Duoduo's "heart-shaped" logo printed on them and other logo T-shirts from Ruixiang's other brands.
Reporters were seizing the time to take photos and record precious scenes.
The auspicious moment has arrived. Zhang Yida and the other twelve users invited to the listing ceremony picked up the gavel tied with red cloth and sounded the listing gong together!
At 9:30 on October 8, 2019, Ruixiang was officially launched!
The stock code of Ruixiang on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is HK·06666.
It opened at HK$262/share and surged 45.2% to HK$380.42/share.
7.667 billion total share capital, and the total market value of Hong Kong stocks is as high as HK$2,916.6 billion!
On the Science and Technology Innovation Board of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, the stock code of Ruixiang is SH·68866.
It opened at RMB 245 per share and surged 115.5% to RMB 527.98 per share.
3.833 billion total share capital, and the total market value of A-shares is as high as 2,023.7 billion yuan!
Immediately, a financial reporter converted the exchange rates and found that the total market value of Hong Kong stocks was US$371.878 billion and the total market value of A-shares was US$283.733 billion.
Adding the two together, the market value is US$655.6 billion, RMB 4,676 billion, and HK$5,141.8 billion!
Honored as the Internet company with the highest market value in China!
Stepping on Ahri and Penguin, the U.S. stock market has a "must die" market value of more than 500 billion US dollars.
Without waiting for today's closing price, financial reporters quickly issued press releases to stir up the buzz.
At 9:30, the moment the company officially went public, the LED screen on the exterior wall of the Ruixiang Building lit up, showing photos of Ruixiang's Hong Kong stock and A-share bell ringing scenes in turn to celebrate the company's listing.
Six buildings in Chengdu also lit up their exterior LED screens at the same time, displaying the same content.
Magic City, Pengcheng, Nasdaq in the United States, Silicon Valley, Sao Paulo in Brazil, London in the UK, Paris in France, Burj Khalifa in Dubai, Lagos in Nigeria, Cape Town in South Africa, Grab Building in Singapore in Southeast Asia, Ginza in Tokyo...
In many countries and regions around the world, dozens of office buildings have lit up LED screens on their exterior walls. In addition to displaying pictures of the listing, there are also words such as congratulations to Ruixiang Group on its successful listing, with double markings in Chinese and local characters.
Because of the time zone relationship, in some areas it is early morning and in other areas it is already late at night.
The passing vehicles and people stopped and looked at Zhang Yida on the screen of the building.
Anyone who knows Zhang Yida knows that this is the listing of Ruixiang Group.
For those of you who don’t know about it abroad, you may have seen that the parent company of Musical.ly has gone public.
Ruixiang's official short video account pushed a short video to nearly 1 billion active users around the world.
It includes pictures of the listings in A+H and the grand scene of the exterior walls of buildings lighting up in dozens of countries and regions around the world.
A grand listing ceremony, this stage deserves the title of a global enterprise.
Domestic media are in a frenzy, feeling that an Internet giant has finally emerged in China and is standing on the world stage.
The market value has also surpassed Ali and Penguin, and has entered the top five in the world, second only to Apple, Microsoft, Google, and Amazon.
Report!
It must be reported!
News releases came out one after another, praising Ruixiang so much that it was rare to find him in the sky or on earth.
"Over 5 trillion Hong Kong dollars, the first domestic Internet group"
"BAT is a thing of the past, the new era of RAT"
"With US$300 billion, 24-year-old Zhang Yida is named the world's richest man"
Chapter completed!
