Chapter 523 Liu Qiangdong, wealth surges

US time, January 3, 2013.

Nasdaq Stock Exchange in New York.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the sky in Manhattan was still gray in winter, and the cold wind swept through the streets, but the Nasdaq Stock Exchange was already bustling with people and the atmosphere was warm.

On this day, Jingdong Mall will ring the bell for its listing here and become the focus of attention in the global capital market.

On the big screen of the exchange, the logo of Jingdong Mall is particularly eye-catching, and the red "JD" letters seem to announce to the world the rise of the Chinese e-commerce giant.

If Jingdong Mall successfully goes public, it will become the first large-scale comprehensive e-commerce company to be successfully listed on the Nasdaq in the United States.

Liu Qiangdong, wearing a well-tailored dark blue suit and a bright red tie, stood in the center of the exchange, looking high-spirited and excited.

Beside him was the core team of Jingdong Mall. Everyone was dressed in formal attire, looking solemn and proud.

Although Hao Qiang was unable to attend the event in person for some reason, his influence is everywhere. Many people are looking for him, thinking that Hao Qiang will also be there when Jingdong Mall goes public.

Liu Qiangdong knew that this moment was not only a victory for Jingdong Mall, but also a perfect proof of Hao Qiang's strategic vision.

From early investment to key strategic advice, Hao Qiang's support has always been an important driving force for Jingdong to reach where it is today.

The atmosphere was lively and flashes of light were flashing one after another.

Liu Qiangdong and his team members did not forget to take out their cameras to record this historic moment. Reporters from the Huaguo media platform were also present to interview them.

A domestic reporter squeezed in front of Liu Qiangdong and handed him the microphone: "Mr. Liu, how are you feeling today?"

Liu Qiangdong smiled slightly, his tone unable to conceal his excitement: "Very excited!

This moment is the culmination of our team’s years of hard work and an important step for Jingdong to enter the global market.”

The reporter then asked, "Is there anything you want to say to everyone?"

Liu Qiangdong paused, pondered for a moment, and looked at the camera with a firm gaze: "First of all, I want to thank all the users, partners and investors who support Jingdong. Without your trust, we would not be able to get to where we are today.

Secondly, I would like to express my special thanks to Mr. Hao Qiang, whose vision and support have provided strong impetus for the development of Jingdong.

Today's listing is just a new starting point for Jingdong. In the future, we will continue to focus on technological innovation and excellent service to create more value for global consumers.

Thanks! "

After saying this, he bowed slightly towards the east.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was warm applause from the audience.

"Boss Liu, isn't Mr. Hao here?"

"Yes, Mr. Hao had something to do and was unable to come to the scene, but he has been following the development of Jingdong." Liu Qiangdong said and answered several questions from reporters.

As time passed slowly, the exchange staff began to make final preparations for the bell ringing ceremony.

At 9:20 am, Liu Qiangdong took the stage to deliver a brief speech.

After finishing his speech, he communicated with the underwriter representatives and shareholders.

9:28 AM

Liu Qiangdong and his team members stood in front of the bell platform, looking solemn and excited.

9:30 AM

As the countdown ended, Liu Qiangdong and team representatives rang the opening bell together.

As the countdown ended, the bell rang clearly, echoing throughout the exchange.

On the big screen, the stock code "JD" of Jingdong Mall lit up instantly, and the opening price was fixed at US$20.5 per share, with the company's valuation reaching US$450 billion.

Jingdong Mall has a total share capital of approximately 22 billion shares and plans to raise 10% of its shares, approximately 2.2 million shares, with a minimum fundraising requirement of US$40 billion.

When a company is listed on Nasdaq, there is no fixed standard for the proportion of shares raised. It is usually determined based on the company's specific circumstances, market environment and investor needs.

Generally speaking, the proportion of shares raised is more common between 10% and 25%, which can meet financing needs without excessively diluting the shares of existing shareholders.

Some companies that are larger or have sufficient cash flow may only raise a small amount of funds through listing, with the proportion being less than 10%, mainly used to enhance the company's visibility and liquidity.

In its previous life, Jingdong raised about 14.5% of its shares and raised US$17.8 billion; Alibaba raised about 12% of its shares; and Pinxixi raised about 15% of its shares.

In this life, after discussing with Hao Qiang, Liu Qiangdong plans to raise US$40 billion, or the shareholding ratio will not be less than 10%.

This decision was made based on roadshow feedback, regulatory requirements, and negotiations between the company and underwriters.

$40 billion is too much and may not be spent. Liu Qiangdong and Hao Qiang certainly do not want to raise too much shares, as this will over-dilute their shares.

As the company develops, the more shares they hold, the more valuable it will be.

Hao Qiang hopes to use most of the $40 billion to stockpile land for logistics warehouses and employee housing while real estate prices soar.

"Boss Liu, congratulations!"

"Congratulations, Mr. Liu!"

"Thank you!"

The product was officially launched and many people at the scene congratulated Liu Qiangdong.

At this moment, Jingdong became one of the largest IPOs of Chinese Internet companies listed in the United States, and a rising star in the global e-commerce field.

Liu Qiangdong and his team members smiled at each other, their eyes full of satisfaction and pride.

There was thunderous applause in the exchange and flash cameras went off one after another.

Liu Qiangdong said with emotion that the nearly ten years of ups and downs since the establishment of Jingdong in 2004 have received the best reward at this moment.

Although Hao Qiang, who was thousands of miles away, was unable to be present at the event in person, he participated in this historic moment through a live video link.

Sitting in his study, Hao Qiang gave a brief speech: "Jingdong's listing is an important breakthrough for China's e-commerce industry and a recognition of Chinese technology companies by the global capital market.

I believe that under the leadership of CEO Liu Qiangdong, Jingdong will continue to create miracles.

At the same time, I will continue to hold shares in Jingdong and support its development into a century-old enterprise."

Hao Qiang has a huge influence around the world, and his outward support, rather than selling off shares in the future, will give investors more confidence in investing in Jingdong stocks.

His words were quickly reported by the media.

As the transaction progressed, coupled with Hao Qiang's speech, Jingdong's stock price rose steadily and the market responded enthusiastically.

Investors are full of confidence in Jingdong's future, especially its strong logistics system, technological innovation capabilities and leading position in the Chinese market.

Among them, Future Technology Group also provides technical support.

Wall Street analysts generally believe that Jingdong's listing will reshape the global e-commerce landscape.

They also hope that Hao Qiang's company can be listed on Nasdaq.

At noon,

Liu Qiangle and his team held a simple celebration at the hotel, and domestic media reporters were fortunate to participate.

"This is a milestone for Jingdong Mall, but it is by no means the end," Liu Qiangdong said in a subsequent interview. "Our mission is to provide consumers with a better shopping experience that is faster, more convenient and safer through technological innovation and excellent service.

Today's listing is just the beginning of our new journey."

At the close of the day, the stock price stabilized at US$23.6, with a market value of US$519.2 billion.

Hao Qiang's shareholding ratio was diluted to 32.1489%, and part of the shares were transferred to overseas accounts. The accounts were not in his name, but were controlled by him.

Liu Qiangdong holds 30.4611%, worth US$158 billion.

Before the IPO, he transferred 3% of his shares and received $12 billion in funds.

As founders and core managers, there are restrictions on cashing out shares after listing.

In recent years, the salary he set for himself was not high.

Now that we have a lot of private cash, we can spend it however we want.

After the company was successfully listed, his net worth rose to 170 billion US dollars, making him the second richest man after Hao Qiang.

Without Hao Qiang's financial support, Liu Qiangdong's shares would be severely diluted, just like in his previous life, and his shareholding ratio after listing would be around 18.2%.

Domestic media reported enthusiastically on Jingdong's successful listing, and especially on Liu Qiangdong's wealth.

As for Hao Qiang, it seems unimportant.

According to the new round of valuation, his wealth is US$1580 billion.

Pengcheng, Hao Mansion.

Since Jingdong's successful listing, Hao Qiang found that his wealth had indeed skyrocketed by hundreds of billions of yuan.

"2013 years!"

It has been nearly 9 years since my rebirth, and the development trajectories of many bigwigs in my previous life have been influenced by Hao Qiang.

Musk abroad, due to the influence of future cars, Tesla's development is far less than its previous life.

in the country, Liu Qiangdong was the most affected.

Ma Baba, Xiao Ma, Boss Xu, Li Shufu, Wang Chuanfu, Xu Xin, Boss Zeng...

Hao Qiang plans to further dilute his shares in Jingdong and transfer them to his children and other family members.

With his current wealth, less system wealth has no impact on system upgrades.
