Chapter 156 Ahri Is Here (1)

Two days after Yang Cheng returned to New York, that is, on the evening of September 8, Yang Cheng and his parents drove to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in a Bentley Mulsanne. , two-thirds of Wall Street has been evacuated, and countless self-proclaimed celebrity investors in Manhattan are all hopelessly looking forward to an invitation letter. Jack Ma.

And today, the largest IPO in the history of the United States officially kicked off in New York, and Aribaba Group officially launched its listing roadshow at this time.

Hundreds of institutional investors flocked to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Midtown Manhattan tonight. They will have a meeting with Jack Ma, the founder of Ali Bar, and Cai Canxin, the executive vice chairman of the board of directors, in the Starlight Conference Hall, which can accommodate nearly 800 people. Wait for the Ariba management team to communicate closely to decide whether to join this feast of wealth.

Although the three members of the Yang family held an invitation letter, they actually represented two investment institutions, Yuanshan and Siwei Space. It was close to 5 pm at this time, and the road show would be held at 7 pm. They arrived at the venue in advance to avoid At that time, the traffic jam in front of the hotel, anyway, Yang Cheng has a long-term private room in the Waldorf Astoria, so there will be no place to rest.

In the imperial suite on the top floor, Liu Yun was inconvenient to move because of her makeup and hair, and wearing a dress. As soon as she entered the room, she kicked her high-heeled shoes on the carpet and spread them on the sofa without moving. She kept instructing Yang Cheng to ask for water. Asking for fruit, after being busy for 10 minutes, Yang Cheng gasped and complained, "Mom, can't you say everything at once?"

"Hmph, what's your attitude? Are you bored? I'm not old yet, so how can I expect you in the future..." Liu Yun pretended to be sobbing, Yang Cheng secretly said badly, and quickly interrupted, "I Wrong, I just said casually, what do you want? Do you want another piece of cake?"

"No more, I'm full!" Well, my mother is like Tianshan Child Elder, she has to rejuvenate every once in a while.

Yang Cheng smiled wryly and sat opposite his parents and shook his head helplessly. He had nothing to do with his mother.

The room suddenly fell into a strange silence. After a while, Yang Cheng suddenly asked, "Dad, have you read Ari's prospectus? How much Yuanshan is going to buy this time?"

Yang Sen was helping his mother massage her feet, when he heard Yang Cheng's question, he was taken aback for a while before he said with a half-smile, "This is a commercial secret, you can't say it casually, our two families are enemies tonight."

"Eh~" Yang Cheng didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Let's not talk about this first, why did you suddenly go to buy Liverpool?" Before Yang Cheng could ask why, Yang Sen took the right to speak and questioned her.

"In order to promote the company, after the North American market is completed,

The next step is to land in Europe. With a wealthy club in hand, it can save a lot of publicity costs, and Liverpool has a great market in Asia, which is conducive to the global promotion of the Toutiao app, killing two birds with one stone. "Yang Cheng replied truthfully.

"It's a good idea, but do you still have the money to invest in Delta Air Lines?" Yang Sen agreed with Yang Cheng's investment ideas and continued to ask.

Yang Cheng loosened the bow tie around his neck, frowned and replied, "That's why I was in a hurry to put New Era Media on the market. Only after cashing out can I have the capital to enter the aviation industry to compete with predators."

"Okay, you have your plan. I won't interfere. If it doesn't work, you can go to your grandfather first. If you don't borrow money from the bank, it's nothing." Yang Sen intended to tease, but he didn't expect to get his mother's beautiful feet in exchange.

"Don't talk nonsense, don't listen to your father. Banks have been having a hard time these years. Don't bother your grandpa if you have nothing to do. By the way, is the club you bought very good?" Liu Yun kicked Yang Sen and also He didn't put any effort into it, and it was mostly playful, so he tucked his hair behind his ear and asked Yang Cheng.

Yang Cheng showed a different kind of patience to his mother, a sports idiot, "It's very powerful. It is one of the eight traditional giants in European football. It has recently fallen into a trough."

"Oh, that's why Bernard called me to discuss the chest advertisement after he heard that you bought Liverpool." Liu Yun nodded and muttered softly.

"What? Bernard wants Liverpool's chest ad? LV is not taking the high-cold route?" Yang Cheng was really surprised. When did the top luxury groups such as lvmh produce TV, print ads and shows on other platforms? appeared on

Yang Sen also looked at his wife in surprise, obviously the news was beyond his expectation.

"It's just an intention, it hasn't been decided yet." Liu Yun looked at her beautifully, feeling very displeased with Yang Sen and his son's attitude towards lvmh.

Yang Cheng spread his hands with a chuckle, "Then you have to tell Bernard to hurry up and make a decision. Now Liverpool's chest advertisement is Standard Chartered Bank. The annual sponsorship fee of 20 million pounds will expire in the next year. Anyway, Bernard has money. Mom, you can't turn your elbows outwards, you have to kill Bernard for me, and you have to match those teams in London. Their sponsorship fees are as high as 40 million pounds a year, which is twice as much as mine. It's so annoying!"

"Go ahead and make your dreams come true. Let Bernard spend 40 million pounds a year on advertising. You might as well kill him." Yang Sen immediately complained.

The father and son's one sentence made Liu Yun so angry that he jumped up from the sofa and was about to go crazy without caring about his makeup and hair.

. . .

The family of three talked and laughed in the room, and 2 hours passed quickly. After rearranging their clothes, they took the elevator to the Starlight Conference Hall.

At this time, all the big names on Wall Street gathered together, and the acquaintances gathered together, and the topic of conversation could not be separated from Ahli.

As soon as Yang Cheng entered the arena, he greeted his parents and started activities alone with champagne. He wanted to know the opinions of various investment bankers on Ari. This time Ari is expected to release nearly 400 million shares. The price of the stock is 65-69 US dollars. How much he can get for this little shrimp depends on the appetite of the predators, so he has to find out the enemy's situation in advance.

After walking a few steps, I met a group of people. Yang Cheng, who was speaking in the middle, knew Max Wolf, a partner of Manhattan Venture Capital. He wandered past seemingly casually, and heard him say, "I will buy Alibaba. stocks, but I will be more cautious."

"How do you say?" Someone echoed.

"I think country Z still has risks. For example, vie is a part of the middle. More importantly, the relationship between the United States and the Chinese government is getting worse and worse. Just look at Apple and Google. If there will be mutual cooperation between the two sides in the future Retaliation, Aribaba will definitely become the target of the country."

Someone else chimed in, "Indeed, although the huge potential shown on the books makes everyone see the joyful revenue figures, 95% of them actually come from their domestic market, not the international market."

Not everyone agrees, and some people have different opinions, "I think this company will be a winner in the long run, and I won't be surprised by the rise in the stock offering price. I think the market value of Ahri will be at least 200 billion US dollars after listing. "

Yang Cheng took a deep look and said that Ahri's market value is 200 billion US dollars, River of jo hambos, is very prescient.

Smiled with a deep meaning, took a sip of champagne, and continued to walk forward, looking for the next target to inquire, and circled around the celebrity who was obviously following along to join in the fun, Drew Bernstein, a partner of Bernstein Research Into the eye.

“The most interesting part of Aribaba lies in its international routes, that is, how it can win in the European market, especially the Russian market, especially the fertile soil in the Far East, which is a must for both Amazon and Aribaba. land.

Moreover, from Ahri's internal perspective, Jack Ma is very likely to be the most energetic and witty CEO in country Z. Through the control agreement (vie), Jack Ma has completely controlled the company, which has always been a big deal in country Z a topic. "

After a pause, he looked around the audience, and gave his final conclusion, "Thus, even though Ahri's gimmicks outweigh the substance, I will still buy Ahri's shares and hold them for a long time."

Next, Yang Cheng listened to the opinions of analysts and CEOs from different investment banking companies, and finally found a corner with a heavy heart and quietly waited for the speech to start.

Judging from the news he heard, Wall Street has very consistent views on Ari. Although Ari has many problems and shortcomings, it is a good investment target in the absence of high-quality potential stocks today.

More importantly, everyone believes that Ahri is backed by the market in country Z and escorted by many predators on Wall Street. The probability of failure is very low. Judging from the resources placed on the land, this possibility is infinitely close to zero, so after a while the subscription starts to fight for hand speed.

A few minutes later, with the warm applause from all the guests present and the warm introduction by Du Deheng, the CEO of Credit Suisse who will be the host tonight, today's protagonist, Jack Ma, who is not tall, thin and looks like et On the stage, the first road show of Ariba kicked off.

I saw Jack Ma, dressed plainly in a black suit and beige trousers, walking slowly onto the golden podium, and the guests sat down one by one, looking at the confident man on the stage with scrutiny.

In the short 10-minute speech, Jack Ma gave full play to his ability to deceive people, and there were frequent golden sentences on the spot, such as "I went to Silicon Valley to try to raise money, but was rejected by 30 venture capitalists. Now that I am back, I want to Ask you for more money." For Lao Mei, who has a very low smile, his speech is undoubtedly a success.

At the same time, in his speech, Jack Ma also took the initiative to talk about the spin-off of Alipay. Although he did not explain too much, he won the respect of the Wall Street investment community with the phrase "time will prove whether the decision is correct".

In the following time, investors attending the meeting can ask the executives of Ariba for detailed consultation on the situation of Ariba, such as which areas will the financing be used for? Will it speed up the pace of entering the international market? Are you worried about future competition with Amazon and so on.

Seeing that Jack Ma was surrounded by three layers of investors, Yang Cheng knew that the idea of ​​talking to Jack Ma tonight had failed, so he went directly to the workbench in charge of the subscription process, and spent 600 million U.S. dollars as soon as he made a move , subscribed for 9 million shares at a price of US$66, which is expected to account for 0.3% of the total share capital, and when he signed the agreement, Ari's staff broadcast live, "Siwei Space Company subscribed for 9 million shares, thank you for your support Ariba’s support.”

The noisy voices at the scene seemed to have been pressed the pause button, and they were all hanging out on Wall Street. Naturally, everyone would not forget the app created by the Yang family boy a few days ago. The holding company under his name seems to be called Four-Dimensional Space?
