Chapter 2756 Relatives and Friends Stock Plan

Rainbow all the way!

Ziweixing is a Chinese concept stock company. In order to circumvent legal restrictions in China and the United States, it adopts a VIE structure. What it sells on Nasdaq is not actually stocks, but American depositary shares.

But that's not important, it's all in name only.

In fact, it is stocks.

Moreover, because the stock performance was too strong and far exceeded expectations, the underwriter team activated the "green shoe mechanism" and exercised the over-allotment option.

In other words, the original IPO plan of Ziweixing was to issue 200 million shares.

Because the market performance is so impressive, major institutions are rushing to buy Ziweixing's shares. 200 million shares are not enough... more shares can be issued!

For underwriters, if the listing is successful, of course the more shares issued, the more they will earn; if the listing fails, the fewer shares issued, the less they will lose.

Now it's a huge success.

The plan for the "green shoe mechanism" can be launched, and up to 15% more shares than the planned financing scale can be issued, which is 30 million shares.

However, these over-issued stocks cannot be sold casually in the market.

This is a "welfare stock".

It will be traded at the issue price of US$108.88, and the current stock price in the market has reached US$132.5, directly pushing Ziweixing's market value close to the US$200 billion mark!

What is this concept?

Ziweixing has become the company with the highest market value in China!

Looking at the world, ranking fifth!

Second only to Apple, Google, Microsoft and Oracle.

For $108.88, you can buy $132.5 worth of stocks. This is pure welfare. This is different from the various internal predictions before the opening of the market, and the subscription mechanism in which each other has to bear risks. This kind of newly issued stocks has almost no risks!

Once you get it, even if you don't hold it for a long time, you can make a lot of money by selling it!

Who can get welfare shares?

Ziweixing is a super IPO. It has already made sufficient plans and considered all situations. For these 30 million welfare shares, Ziweixing launched the "Friends and Relatives Share Plan".

In other words, for this part of the welfare stocks, Ziweixing employees and their relatives and friends have the right of first refusal as a means to expand the shareholder base and reward insiders.

Based on the issue price of US$108.88, 30 million welfare shares total US$3.27 billion.

Employees, relatives and friends do not have such great purchasing power.

In fact, in the previous preparations, Ziweixing's employees, relatives and friends only reserved 8.22 million shares, which is really a pity.

Even though Ziweixing has made many internal announcements, saying that this is a welfare strategy, there is almost no risk. Only when the IPO is successful and hugely profitable will the "green shoe mechanism" be activated to exercise the over-allotment option. If the IPO is not successful, or is only a small success, it will be difficult to activate this mechanism, and the benefits of the "Friends and Family Share Plan" will no longer exist, and everyone will not lose money.

But even so, everyone is worried.

It was really a free opportunity for them to make money, and they couldn't even seize it.

The underwriters all had red eyes and found Zhou Buqi with great interest. Their eyes were like seeing the God of Wealth, asking him for approval to exercise the over-allotment option.

Zhou Buqi naturally agreed.

The over-allotment of these 30 million shares is not the issuance of new shares, but the stocks that were cashed out by early investors, entrepreneurial teams, and executives, mainly from Alibaba and SoftBank.

Alibaba holds 30 million shares of Ziweixing. In previous normal IPOs, Alibaba would cash out 20 million shares. By exercising the over-allotment option this time, Alibaba will have the opportunity to sell the remaining 10 million shares.

Sell ​​them all, cash out the profits, and be happy!

Boss Ma had very high demands on Alibaba and was not interested in financial investment. The remaining 10 million shares did not play a strategic role, so he simply sold them all.

In other words, it makes no difference to Ziweixing whether or not to exercise the over-allotment option, and the excess funds raised will not fall into Ziweixing's pocket.

Might as well just be the beauty of adulthood.

It's just that they didn't take advantage of the benefits that were given to Ziweixing's employees for free.

Zhou Buqi approved the underwriter's request.

In the afternoon, the mechanism starts!

A second round of stock issuance will be launched.

During lunch, of course, it was a celebration, but when it came to this matter, Zhou Buqi felt quite regretful, "I didn't expect it to be such a success, and the family and friends stock plan was really launched."

He Yang, who was sitting next to him, also sighed, "Looking at it now, one share can earn at least 20 US dollars. Even if you don't hold it for a long time, there is no T+1 mechanism in the US stock market. You can buy it at the issue price. , and then sell it immediately and make a huge profit.”

Meng Houkun showed his cold character again and hummed: "So, some people deserve to be poor all their lives. We have given them the opportunity to make a fortune. As long as he opens his mouth, he can eat it." , but he just won’t eat, as if we can poison them!”

Zhang Yiming said: "Our stocks are very expensive, and it costs a lot of money to subscribe. Many grassroots employees lack such courage."

"It's not courage, it's brainpower." Meng Houkun sneered, "They just think that we are capitalists and think that we make a fortune by robbing them! If you ask me, these idiots should be fired! Those three melons in their hands Even if we plunder two jujubes, how much money can we get from it? Ziweixing has gone to the United States to market, even if we cut leeks, we are still cutting American leeks, I don’t know what they are worried about!"

Zhou Buqi said angrily: "Okay, shut up!"

Meng Houkun said: "I was just angry, and my good intentions were treated as a donkey's liver and lungs! Now it's better. They didn't want the money-making opportunity given to them for free, and it was taken away by others."

There were many people dining at the same table.

The level is not enough, and the respective data of "welfare stock plan" and "family and friend stock plan" are not clear.

For example, Luo Ji, an M5 middle-level manager who is an entrepreneurial veteran, is now a product director of the WeChat business group. Of course he does not need to subscribe for welfare stocks. He is the earliest employee of Xiaonei.com and holds nearly 2 million shares. Taking advantage of this IPO, he will sell 500,000 shares and make a profit of 50 million US dollars. Improve life.

Luo Ji couldn't help but ask: "How many shares were issued in total?"

Guo Pengfei had a very good relationship with him. They were comrades who fought together in the beginning. He sighed and said: "There are 30 million shares! The family and friends stock plan we launched has only been applied for more than 8 million shares, which is a waste of this risk-free money-making opportunity." . This is different from the previous subscription before listing. Subscription before listing has huge risks. Once the stock breaks, it will fall into huge losses. But this kind of over-issuance quota is a reissue after listing, and there is almost no risk. , it’s an opportunity to give away money for free.”

Luo Ji was in disbelief, "Why is this happening? In the past six months, I have seen announcements on the intranet, saying how good and low-risk our family and friends stock plan is. Why is no one participating?"

Meng Houkun snorted coldly: "Either the rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer. If you don't give up the opportunity to pick up money for free, how can you not be poor? You just have no brains! So stupid!"

Zhou Buqi said angrily: "You stop standing and talking without your back hurting! If people want to buy it, how can they buy it? Ziweixing is listed in the United States. Those grassroots employees all live in China and have few relatives and friends in the United States. It is difficult to even open an account. , trading will be more complicated in the future. Do you think everyone is like you, with such a good family background, and there have been no policy restrictions since childhood, so you can do whatever you want?"

Meng Houkun said angrily: "What does this have to do with my family background? Don't go online!"

Shi Jinglin, who was at the same table, glanced at him and said coldly: "Okay, Meng Houkun, haven't seen you for a few years, have you lost your temper?"

Meng Houkun laughed, "No, Boss Zhou, these are all buddies, and men's friendship is just about fighting, haha! So what...Old Zhou, let me toast you. I'm not pointing it at you, or at us. The grassroots employees feel a little resentful that steel cannot be made into steel. They don’t actively exercise their rights when they have the opportunity to do so, and they don’t actively participate in plans for welfare shares for relatives and friends. I really can’t help even if I want to.”

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw him giving in.

He Yang said something fair, saying that ordinary people actually don't have much money. Even if they mobilize their relatives and friends to subscribe, they won't be able to get much money.

More than 8 million shares, which is already US$800 million.

Is this still less?

Employees, relatives and friends who have mobilized to participate in the plan have already covered more than 30,000 people. The scale is already very large. The reason why there is still a big gap from the subscription amount is not that they don't buy it, but that the benefits offered by Ziweixing are too good and the amount is too high.

No capital!

If you want to take advantage of this opportunity to make money, you must first spend money to buy the stock at a price of $108.88, and then sell it to make money. But for many ordinary people, they simply cannot spend that much money to buy stocks, and they can only watch the opportunity slip away.

Just like domestic housing prices have risen sharply in recent years, many people have not been able to participate.

How can I participate if I have no money?

I want to buy it, but I can’t afford it!

Some well-connected and powerful people can easily borrow money from banks even if they have little capital. If they participate and make money, they can just pay it back. There are even some ruthless people who don't pay back even if they make money, and just let the bank do the bad debts.

This is why the poor at the mass level always suffer from poverty.

It is the unfair distribution of social resources.

Of course, some poor people can break through such shackles through clever minds and extraordinary courage, but most people will be blocked by the rope of resource distribution and will not be able to break through in their lifetime.

Meng Houkun comes from a family background and has never experienced the dilemma of resource allocation in his life. It is inevitable that he lacks some empathy for the people at the bottom.

Everyone was sincerely convinced and felt that what Boss He said made sense.

Meng Houkun also fell silent.

Not as emotional as before.

He Yang is the kind of person who has the brains and courage to climb up from the bottom, and his job is mainly administrative and dealing with people. He can empathize with it and said with emotion: "We have good intentions for our welfare plan. But for ordinary people , there are two major hurdles that are difficult to overcome. There are policy restrictions and principal restrictions on opening a U.S. stock account. Even if you can get a loan, it is best to have a policy stuck. Each person can only apply for $50,000 per year. Foreign exchange is a rigid indicator. What can we do? Even if many people have the courage to take a gamble and bet all their wealth on their house, car, and are blocked by the foreign exchange limit, what can they do? No one wants to be poor all his life, and no one is stupid. , everyone wants to make money.”

Zhou Buqi was very grateful to He Yang.

In the past few years, the people who started their businesses were all young kids, very radical, bold, and very driven, but their social experience and life experience were almost meaningless.

If Boss He hadn't been in the middle to stabilize the market, these young guys might have overturned the aircraft carrier.
