Rebirth of the Wild Age

If Tencent chooses to list on Nasdaq, as long as it operates properly, it is likely to get several times the money of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in a short period of time. Because after the Internet winter passed, Chinese Internet stocks soared too fast, and American investors have inexplicably great confidence in Chinese websites.

Historically, from January to October 2003, the stock prices of NetEase, Sohu, and Sina have increased by 3500% overall! Among them, when NetEase's share price was the highest, it was nearly 60 US dollars; Sohu's share price was second, reaching 45 US dollars at one point; and Sina's share price also exceeded 40 US dollars.

Of course, this inflated stock price caused some investors to be vigilant, so it began to fall back in November, and it had fallen back to more than 30 US dollars by the end of the year.

And in this time and space, because Song Weiyang threw out the concept of web2.0 in advance, Nasdaq became even more popular. In addition, he is also a shareholder of Sohu and Netease, so the stock prices of the two companies have been fired even higher, and of course they have fallen more severely. Overall, they are slightly better than Yuanshikong.

That's why when Hu Shuli interviewed Song Weiyang, she said that Song Weiyang's net worth was as high as 30 billion yuan for the stocks of those listed companies alone! Just looking at the market capitalization of NetEase, it exceeded 2 billion US dollars at its peak in October, surpassing Wall Street's valuation of Google. It's a pity that the stocks that were not cashed out were all paper. In the next two months, NetEase's market value fell by 500 million US dollars. A large number of investment institutions cashed out, causing NetEase's stock price to plummet. The situation of Sohu and Sina was similar.

After New Year's Day, the stock prices of Netease, Sohu, and Sina rose again. Investment institutions seemed to feel that the leeks were almost harvested, so they ran out to raise their stock prices and planned to speculate again. In the following 2004, NetEase’s share price hovered between US$30-60, and Sohu’s share price was between US$25-40. The volatility of its stock price left countless people speechless.

This situation may be due to the fact that China is too far away, and American stockholders can't figure out the specific situation, and are particularly vulnerable to various off-market information.

One of the reasons Xiao Ma chose to list on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange was that he didn't want to be repeatedly tossed about by the Yankees. Theoretically, for a company based on serving users, the closer the listing location is to the local market, the closer the company's market value will be to real responses. Listing in Hong Kong City will definitely not make so much money, but there will be fewer cases of sharp fluctuations in stock prices, which is a good thing for Tencent, which is pursuing long-term development.

In addition, Tencent's business model cannot find a benchmark in the United States. Similar products such as icq, Yahoo Messenger, and msn are not independent companies in the United States, and there is no stable profit model for the time being. It is difficult to get the approval of Yankees, because they generally believe that only the Internet model that has matured in the United States is worth investing in. They only listen to stories fabricated by Americans and are unwilling to pay for a Chinese story.

There is also Brother Xiaoma's conscience, he wants to fulfill his promise.

Brother Xiao Ma promised options to Tencent's early core employees and wanted to complete the purchase before the IPO went public. To put it bluntly, it is a bit similar to Song Weiyang selling original shares to employees before Xifeng went public, except that Tencent's behavior of cashing out options is more direct and generous.

In the United States, this is a violation of the rules of the capital market and offends the interests of investors, but it is generally recognized in Hong Kong.

Forbes magazine hopes to do an exclusive interview with you, Shen Si reminded, Before this, Forbes has contacted Golden Bull Capital many times, hoping to obtain some detailed data of Golden Bull Capital, so that they can calculate the list of the world's billionaires.

No see! Song Weiyang didn't bother to pay attention.

Shen Si added: Forbes also sent a form, which is a statistical form of your personal assets. I hope to get your confirmation. Of course, you can also choose to refuse.

Song Weiyang suddenly became interested: Show me.

Shen Si immediately handed over the handheld computer, and Song Weiyang simply browsed through it, and found that Forbes calculated his shareholding ratio in Jinniu Capital, and the error was less than 5%. At first glance, I was a little surprised, but I soon felt relieved, because several shareholders of Jinniu Capital are listed companies, and many things can be deduced from the reports of these listed companies.

In the blink of an eye, the Spring Festival is here, and the 2003 Global Billionaires List compiled by Forbes has finally been released, along with the Global Chinese Rich List and Asian Rich List.

Song Weiyang, nationality (China), age (28), assets (US$6.5 billion), source (multiple investments). Ranked 52nd in the world, 4th in Asia, and 3rd among global Chinese.—— This is the basic information of Song Weiyang.

Due to the decline in the stock prices of Netease and Sohu, Song Weiyang's personal assets are 500 million US dollars less than last year.

But overall rankings are on the rise, especially in Asia's richest list. The two Saudi princes who ranked No. 1 and No. 4 last year have lost their assets for some reason and have fallen out of the top five in Asia's richest list. Now the richest man in Asia is Li Chaoren, the second richest is the Hiben Saji family, the third richest is the Guo family of Hong Kong City, and Song Weiyang directly soared to the fourth place. As for Masayoshi Son, who was the richest man in the world for more than 10 days, he is almost unable to keep the top 20 in Asia's richest list.

The first thing that caused a sensation was Hong Kong City. The media stared at the Forbes rich list every year, and there were only a few familiar names who came and went.

Now, due to the shrinking of the collective assets of the rich in Hong Kong, except for Li Chaoren and the Guo family, everyone else has been left behind by Song Weiyang. What about stock gods? What about the guides in the Internet industry? The first label on Song Weiyang's forehead will always be Daluzai. But this boy from mainland China has soared into the sky, worth 200 million US dollars more than Li Zhaoji, and almost entered the top 50 of the world's richest list!

In fact, the wealth gap from the 48th to the 55th in the world's richest list does not exceed 100 million US dollars. Song Weiyang only needs a few tens of millions more to enter the top 50. Since the cold winter of the Internet in 2001, the world's richest people have The assets have plummeted, so that 6.5 billion US dollars are eligible to win the top 50 rich list.

So Song Weiyang got new nicknames, all of which were given to him by the Hong Kong media—Continental Buffett and Continental Li Chaoren.

Although Song Weiyang's current assets are only slightly more than half of Li Chaoren's, everyone thinks that he can already be compared with Li Chaoren. The main reason is that Song Weiyang is too young. He is less than 30 years old this year and has unlimited development prospects in the future. Some people even speculate that when he is 30 years old, his personal assets can catch up with Li Chaoren.

The Hong Kong media began to cover Song Weiyang again, and many even republished previous articles. However, this time Golden Bull Business School unexpectedly became the focus of the report, and the Hong Kong media compared it with Li Chaoren's Cheung Kong Business School in detail, so Xifeng's stock price began to rise day after day.

Many stock critics stood up and poured cold water, saying that Xifeng's stock price was ridiculously high, and advised investors to pay attention to risks.

Although the mainland media is not as crazy as the Hong Kong media, they exaggerate it even more, because Song Weiyang is the only person from the mainland to be on the top 100 list of the world's richest people. Even the News Network reported solemnly: Recently, Forbes announced the list of the world's billionaires. Mr. Song Weiyang, a famous Chinese entrepreneur, ranked 52nd on the list with a personal asset of 6.5 billion US dollars...

Then Hu Run came to the door: Boss, congratulations!

What are you going to do? Song Weiyang smiled.

Hurun said: You know what? Now some people call you 'Chinese Buffett'.

I know. Song Weiyang said.

Then why don't you follow Buffett and hold a 'Song Weiyang Charity Dinner' every year? Hu Run said excitedly, I can take full responsibility for this matter, you just need to come out to eat and chat, it won't take up more of your time time.

Song Weiyang said: Buffett's charity dinner is not just a simple meal, it is already equivalent to a large-scale charity show, with more and more people participating every year.

Hoogewerf said: We don't need to be so ostentatious, we can do it a little more restrained.

Let me think about it, Song Weiyang said, I will give you an accurate answer when I come back from the United States.

No problem! Hu Run said happily.

Isn't Google preparing to go public? Song Weiyang has to go to the United States for a meeting in person. Of course, he can also send people to participate, but he happened to go abroad to relax and invest in a newly established company by the way.

Song Weiyang has been drawing people's attention to the dynamics of Harvard University. Facebook was finally launched half a month ago, and now more than half of Harvard's students have become registered users.
