Chapter 177: make wealth

The "green shoe mechanism" is a common name for "over-allotment option". When a stock underwriter signs an underwriting agreement with a listed company, it will give the broker an option clause. ▲∴ding▲∴ǎn▲∴小▲∴ said that within 30 days from the date of the stock listing, the underwriters can choose to issue a portion of the shares more than the predetermined size at the same issue price. The over-allotment option given by Aikang to the brokerage is 15% of the original 20 million shares issued, which is 3 million shares.

The "green shoe mechanism" is generally only activated by securities companies when the stocks of listed companies are enthusiastically sought after by the market. Brokerage companies can obtain additional income from this, and listed companies can suppress the rapid rise in stock prices by increasing the issuance volume, and at the same time expand the total amount of funds raised. After the "green shoe mechanism" was activated, the total issuance of new shares of Aikang's listing increased to 1 million shares, and the total amount of funds raised was 184 million pounds.

Li Xuanren has not yet returned to Hong Kong, but his legend has been spread everywhere in Hong Kong.

"Technology stocks are sought after, and the value of 'Xiao Lisheng' has skyrocketed!"

"Opening high and rising, Aikang went public and raised 2 billion yuan!"

"The opening auction took 67 minutes, and the market value of Aikang exceeded 10 billion!"

The Hong Kong media sent a strong corps of journalists to London to report on the IPO of Aikang. As soon as iKang's listing was opened, reporters from various circles sent the report back to Hong Kong on Li Ke as soon as possible.

The previous Hong Kong media reports on Li Xuan's worth were all valuations. Different newspapers were conservative or open, and there was a big gap in the data given on Li Xuan's worth. After Aikang went public, everyone finally had a real intuitive understanding.

Calculated at the opening price of 1,000 pence per share, the 60 million shares held by Orient Holdings have a value of up to 600 million pounds, which is equivalent to more than 7.3 billion Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong dollars. Only the latest share price is calculated at 1105 pence. The shares of Aikang held by Li Xuan are worth more than 8 billion yuan.

One hundred million yuan is the threshold for promotion to the rich, and one billion yuan is the threshold for the truly rich. And more than 5 billion yuan, enough to be called the super rich in Hong Kong. Li Xuan's previous name was "Little Li Sheng". And now "Li Caishen", "Li Chaoren" and other new titles have been detained by various newspapers on Li Xuan's head. The newspapers were chasing all the news about Li Xuan frantically.

Li Xuan's wealth cannot be said to be the richest man in Hong Kong, but the speed of his rise is unmatched by Chinese chaebols such as Pao and Li, or British chaebols such as Jardine, Swire and Kadoorie. Other Hong Kong giants did not go through generations of accumulation, but at least decades of hard work, but Li Xuan completed the catch-up in less than two years.

Listing is a wealth-making movement. Li Xuan has become the most popular wealth myth in Hong Kong and Kowloon, and many other people have also benefited from it. According to Hong Kong media statistics, among the entire Oriental Group. Because Aikang was listed, more than 10 people became millionaires overnight, and more than 100 millionaires.

Among them, the most profitable is naturally the former president of Dongfang Electronics, the current president of Dongfang Holdings and Dongfang Commercial, and Han Peng, chairman of the board of directors of Aikang. He holds 54,000 shares of Aikang, valued at more than 6.5 million Hong Kong dollars. In addition to his annual salary and bonuses, his income this year has exceeded 10 million Hong Kong dollars. He suddenly jumped to one of the highest-paid company executives in Hong Kong. Among Chinese-funded enterprises, he is definitely regarded as the number one "emperor of migrant workers".

"Dear colleagues, President Du, Vice President Liang, and Director Cao have decided to treat guests tonight. Let's all act together after get off work!" A pretty girl walked into the office quickly and said to everyone with a smile. She is Du Wenqiang's administrative secretary. The news is relatively well-informed.

"Oh yeah~!" There was a burst of cheers from the entire office.

The people in Hong Kong who are most concerned about the listing process of Aikang are the employees of the Oriental Group. The Oriental Company carried out a round of equity incentive plans last year and this year respectively. Some of the options are already cashable. Li Xuan allowed employees of various subsidiaries to go public before Aikang went public. According to the company's stock conversion plan, they were transferred from Dongfang Holdings to shares of Aikang.

Dongfang Game Company has no plan to go public for a long time, and it has the most old employees who joined Dongfang Electronics at the earliest. Many of the options in their hands can already be cashed. Many people followed Ikon's stock price after opting to convert into Ikon's shares. Net worth has also skyrocketed.

After the independent split of Dongfang Games, Cao Jingya was promoted to the executive director of the game company. She holds 1,500 shares of Aikang, worth about 180,000 Hong Kong dollars. And Liang Ning, the original middle-aged rock, as one of the veterans of the arcade department, holds 8,750 shares of Aikang, worth more than 1 million Hong Kong dollars.

Du Wenqiang, as a super veteran who followed Li Xuan to conquer the world as early as in Keji Electronics Company, holds up to 40,000 shares of Aikang in his hands. This is also because he is unwilling to exchange the remaining shares of Dongfang Games for the shares of Aikang Company, otherwise he owns more shares than Han Peng, but the value of these Aikang shares alone is as high as 5 million Hong Kong dollars.

Du Wenqiang's heart is full of misery, because he once had a 0.5% stake in the entire Oriental Company in front of him, but he was blinded by lard and missed an opportunity to become a billionaire. Every time I think of it, my heart hurts. it hurts.

"Li Yaomin, you cheered so vigorously, the stock in your hand is worth tens of thousands, and you have to treat yourself tomorrow!" After everyone cheered, they suddenly pointed their finger at a tall and thin male employee in the corner of the office.

Li Yaomin shrank his neck suddenly, and begged for mercy in a slightly pleading tone: "There are still three months before the ban is lifted for my hundreds of stocks! Don't be too ruthless, or the money for food at the end of the month will be gone!"

"Forget it, for your poor sake, let's just have a BBQ pork rice!" The girl who came first to report the good news chuckled and covered him.

"Che, you are really a husband and wife!" Others immediately expressed their dissatisfaction.

Dongfang Company does not have a rule that employees of the company are not allowed to fall in love. As long as it does not harm the interests of the company, it encourages the fertilizer and water not to flow to outsiders.

Including some of the old employees of Aikang in the UK, the internal management and employees of the Oriental Group hold a total of 740,000 shares of Aikang Computer. . The listing of Aikang Company allowed them to share these dividends with a total value of up to 90 million Hong Kong dollars.

After Li Xuan got off the plane, he didn't go out from the ordinary airport pick-up port, but went directly to the VIP channel. Recently, many reporters are blocking Li Xuan's flight back to Hong Kong every day, wanting to interview him as soon as possible. Li Xuan didn't have much interest in this, so it's better to keep a low profile at this time.

Although the market value of Aikang's shares in his hands has exceeded 8 billion Hong Kong dollars, it will take more than a year to fully lift the ban and circulate. Moreover, in order to maintain control of Aikang Company, Li Xuan will not sell a large amount of equity. So these stocks are just a bunch of fixed assets that he can see, but it is not easy to really touch.

In fact, it is not only the media in Hong Kong and the United Kingdom that are hyping Li Xuan, but also the American newspapers quickly follow up. Aikang's ab computer is one of the most popular personal computers in the American market. Moreover, Li Xuan's personal situation is not secret. If you investigate a little, you can find that the arcades such as the a handheld game console, "Hong Kong Cube", "Tank War", and "Mario Brothers", which are popular in the United States, are currently on sale. The home game consoles are also products of the company under his name.

The wonder boy from the East, countless Americans discovered for the first time that there was such a miracle of wealth on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. The most detailed report on Li Xuan is the "Wall Street Journal", which already has a branch in Hong Kong that publishes the Asian version of the "Wall Street Journal".

When Li Xuan first became famous in Hong Kong, the Asian branch sent the manuscript about Li Xuan back to the US headquarters, but unfortunately it was not taken seriously, because the story of a young man in Asia was not very attractive to American editors. But now, as the most concerned high-tech stock, Aikang's many topics are worth digging and hyping.

Among the companies owned by Li Xuan, Aikang is by no means the most dazzling company. Compared with the British counterparts who put all their focus on Aikang computers, the Wall Street Journal has set its sights on Dongfang Game Company.

The "Wall Street Journal" reporter combined the sales data of the Oriental Game Company on handhelds, home consoles and arcades that he investigated ~www.readwn.com~ and found that the company's monthly output value has exceeded 100 million US dollars. . The list of companies published by the British "Financial Times" is ranked by market value, but the top 500 companies published by the US "Forbes" magazine are ranked by sales.

If Dongfang Game Company is an American company, its sales are enough to successfully squeeze into the top 300 in the United States. Not long ago, "Forbes" magazine just published an exclusive interview with Apple's founder and chairman Steve Jobs. The article's final prediction shows that with Apple's current performance growth, it is likely to be able to squeeze into the top 500 companies in the United States next year, becoming the fastest company to enter the list since its inception.

Obviously, after the new article in the "Wall Street Journal" came out, Boss Qiao once again became a stepping stone for Li Xuan. In Hong Kong in Asia, there is a trend-setter who is much younger than him, started a business later than him, but is more successful than him.

Moreover, the reporter of the "Wall Street Journal" also reprinted a small detail previously reported by the Hong Kong counterpart in the article. When Li Xuan started his business, he wrote the first game "Hong Kong Cube" using Apple's app2 computer. Ironically, the ab computer produced by Aikang, a company controlled by Li Xuan, is already the strongest competitor of app2 computer. (To be continued..)
