485 The establishment of Kunlun Gym!
On January 18, Huang Yifei summoned his team members, plus the core management of Rice Technology, and directly booked a plane to New York, USA.
It was on this day that many Chinese technology companies' giants, such as Penguin, Baidu, Sohu and other technology companies, began to rush to the New York Stock Exchange. In their words, they were to stand up for Huang Yifei and Lei Jun to witness this miracle moment.
Huang Yifei was still a little surprised by the arrival of these people, because he was not very familiar with some Chinese technology giants. However, Lei Jun was different. It was not an exaggeration to call him a godfather figure in Chinese Internet companies. In the early days, he even developed an office system against Microsoft with his own strength, so it was not strange to have these technology giants on the way.
However, when he was in New York, Huang Yifei also met someone he unexpectedly, that is Ma Yun, the president of Alibaba Group! (The above are all homophonic, brothers understand.)
When the giants of the two largest Internet companies in China stood in front of him, Huang Yifei felt a little dreamy. Ma Yun and Ma Hua were both worried, which affected almost every Chinese. In particular, young people basically had no way to avoid using these two products. As a result, today, such a giant-level figure came to the New York Stock Exchange to help his company stand, and was filled with emotion.
It was from this moment that Huang Yifei officially became one of the giants in the China Internet Group. Even the reporter who helped Huang Yifei write the cover of "Time" secretly regretted it when he learned about this scene.
If this issue of "Time" is released one month later, the cover statement will not be the fighting empire between the Chinese boxing champion and his, but the Chinese boxing champion and his business empire!
But this is just the tip of Huang Yifei's iceberg. When Kunlun Fighting President Jiang Hua and Longteng Promotion President Liu Gang stood respectfully behind Huang Yifei, these people realized that Huang Yifei is far from controlling shares, but the most *oss hidden after all this!
On January 19, less than 24 hours before its listing, the NN Financial Edition of the United States used a whole page of articles to tell the public about the rise of rice technology.
When this article was published, it shocked some people around the world who did not pay attention to fighting. They never expected that this was a technology company that started from scratch and only developed for more than three years. Since it had already reached such a scale, Huang Yifei and Kunlun, Longteng, Whale and other companies, what else is behind this boxing champion?
On January 20, at 8 a.m. US time, almost all the media in the world rushed over. In addition to some technology tycoons, Huang Yifei knew in the United States, some Hollywood superstars, as well as Chinese stars such as Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, almost all gathered in the New York Stock Exchange to help Huang Yifei support the game.
It was on this day that New York Stock Exchange traders faced this crowded and explosive scene and learned an unprecedented English sentence, that is, "Please give in". Faced with this crazy scene, many financial companies are predicting that based on Huang Yifei's personal charm and the prospects of the rice company, this time the market value of Rice Technology is at least more than US$40 billion. If it is exaggerated, it will reach US$50 billion!
At the same time, internal news is that Mi Technology will offer more than 100 million shares this time, and the amount of each share is about US$45. If it really meets the estimates of financial experts, this time Mi Technology will directly earn more than US$4 billion in cash flow from the stock market!
This is undoubtedly a huge amount of funds, which will be a terrifying thing for the development of rice technology and the increase in Huang Yifei's net worth. Moreover, the previous rumors about problems with rice technology's cash flow will be broken without any attack!
At 8:30 in the morning, the logo of Rice Technology appeared on the big screen of the New York Stock Exchange. At the same time, Huang Yifei wrapped the big screen of Times Square in New York. The logo of Rice Technology appeared in the center of the American landmark!
It was at this time that Huang Yifei and Lei Jun walked to the center of the New York Stock Exchange's conference room. They will connect with the global employees of Rice Technology to deliver public media speeches!
The first person to speak was Lei Jun. At this time, Huang Yifei saw Lei Jun's eyes red. He said in a choked voice that Rice Technology will become a new starting point and a new peak in his career. At the same time, he was very grateful to Huang Yifei. If Huang Yifei had not found him to cooperate with him and showed unparalleled confidence in Rice Technology, he might not have the same Rice Technology today.
Huang Yifei always smiled at Lei Jun's speech. In fact, he really wanted to say that he didn't dare to take it. All of this was because he knew history.
After Lei Jun finished speaking, it was Huang Yifei who came on stage, and the media below pointed the camera at Huang Yifei.
Huang Yifei, who walked onto the stage, bowed deeply to the audience and said: "First of all, I would like to thank Rice Technology for its tens of thousands of employees who have worked hard. Without them, there would be no Rice Technology that has developed rapidly today. In more than three years, Rice Technology has gone from its mobile phone manufacturer to its Nasdaq today to ringing the bell, we have almost created a miracle in the history of world enterprise development!"
"I won't say much about humility, because I am not a humble person. Today I will put my words here, just as I always focus on the championship on the ring. Rice Technology either does not do it, and if you want to do it, you must be the world's number one!"
"I know that many people have set their goals in the top three in the world. As long as they are second only to Apple, Samsung is an incomparable victory. But for me, the second in the world is a failure. To be honest, the purpose of the launch of Rice Technology today is not my ideal or great goal, because Lei Jun and I didn't want to go public at the beginning."
"But because of money, we have to go public to make money."
When Huang Yifei said this, almost all the media and financial people below were stunned. No one had ever been on the New York Stock Exchange's speech stage and said bluntly that his listing was to make money!
"Yes, I know you are all surprised, but that's the case. If it weren't for the fact that Rice Technology needs a large amount of capital development, I wouldn't consider listing issues at all. But raising money does not mean to cheat those investors who support us. I, Huang Yifei, here to assure you that the future of Rice Technology is not limited to this. It will eventually give you a return beyond your imagination. Let me trust me once!"
After saying this, Huang Yifei bowed deeply to the audience again and then left the venue. At this moment, almost thunderous applause sounded, and many people couldn't help but stand up and applaud. You should know that the New York Stock Exchange is almost all financial people, many people are even big players on Wall Street!
It is generally impossible for them to make any cheering moves, but today Huang Yifei's alternative speech infected them. Only the warmest cheer can express their inner excitement!
At 8:45, traders on the NYSE began to predict that the stock price of Rice Technology will start at least US$40. At the same time, the chairman of the NYSE said he was full of confidence in the listing of Rice Technology.
At 8:50, Huang Yifei, Lei Jun and Zhang Fan were still three people, and they started waiting outside the balcony to ring the bell. There were still ten minutes to be the official launch of Rice Technology. At this moment, except for Huang Yifei and Zhang Fan, both of them were nervous and sweating.
At about 9 o'clock, Huang Yifei and the others pressed the button to ring the bell at the same time. At this moment, the various people under the balcony began to cheer to celebrate this historic moment. At the same time, the protagonist of the New York Stock Exchange, the stock of Dami Technology, officially opened and priced.
At the opening time of the first round, the stock price of Mi Technology was US$42, and the second round was US$43.6. With the opening price of the first round, the stock price of Mi Technology began to rise wildly, and its market value continued to soar. One once famous companies began to be surpassed by Mi Technology, an emerging technology company that has been established for more than three years!
During this day, with rounds of opening inquiries, the stock price of Dami Technology set the longest opening record for the New York Stock Exchange in the past decade. Until the evening, Dami Technology's final price was set at $52, which rose by nearly 30% compared to the crazy amount of Ah Xing in the morning!
At the same time, the market value of Rice Technology was officially confirmed, reaching US$51.2 billion, officially surpassing Yahoo and other veteran IT companies, and standing at the 23rd place in the world. Almost in the foreseeable future, with the rapid development of Rice Technology, it may eventually enter the top ten and become a world-class technology company!
The listing of Rice Technology has brought more than 5 billion US dollars in funds to Huang Yifei's Rice Technology Company. At the same time, with the listing of Rice Technology, Huang Yifei's shares have been able to obtain about 2 billion US dollars in revenue after diluting and allocating shares. This is a huge income for Huang Yifei, and all the money subsidized in the previous ones was recovered at one time.
But this also led to Huang Yifei's shareholdings falling from nearly 40% of the shares before to 30% of the shares. However, even so, he is still the largest shareholder of Rice Technology. With Zhang Fan's 10% of the shares, Huang Yifei still surpassed Lei Jun in equity.
However, Huang Yifei's money is not considered to be invested in Huaxin Semiconductor and Future Laboratory. Because the balance in the account of Rice Technology is enough to support the current development. So Huang Yifei's revenue of 2 billion US dollars is a very important thing, that is, to acquire Paramount Pictures!
Currently, the market value of Paramount Pictures is about 4 billion US dollars, exceeding the Legend Pictures acquired by Wanda. However, Huang Yifei does not want to hold a wholly owned shares. He had already owned almost 5% of Paramount Pictures before, and Tom Ge made two big profits through his cooperation with Huang Yifei, so he increased his stake to 10%.
This time, Huang Yifei will spend US$1.2 billion to directly acquire 30% of Paramount Pictures' shares. With five percent of the previous ones, Huang Yifei will become Paramount Pictures' largest shareholder. With Tombeg as his partner, if Huang Yifei is willing, he will make himself the chairman of Paramount Pictures on the next board of directors.
The reason why Huang Yifei did this this time is that "Operation Mekong" is about to be released, and he wants to use Paramount Pictures to release this movie globally! Because Huang Yifei knew that it is very difficult to find a distribution company to release globally for such a movie that can be called the main theme. Instead of doing it yourself!
After dealing with Paramount Pictures, Huang Yifei had about 800 million US dollars in cash left. With this amount of money, Huang Yifei could finally do something he had wanted to do but had no money to do, that is, to open the Kunlun Gymnasium and pass on Chinese martial arts and philosophy all over the world!
Whether it is a boxing champion or a king of free fighting in the world, this is just Huang Yifei's honor alone after all. It will never allow ordinary people to feel Chinese martial arts around them.
This kind of thing is like Bruce Lee at the time. Almost everyone knows that this is a master of martial arts, and she is very famous in movies, creating Jeet Kune Do, etc. But what about when Bruce Lee died? How many people still learn Jeet Kune Do now, can they call out a few master-level figures of Jeet Kune Do, and what influence does it have in actual combat in world fighting?
It is very famous, but the actual influence it produces is far less than that of fame. This is the current situation of Jeet Kune Do! The streets of the world are full of taekwondo, karate, and judo. Even the Muay Thai and Sanbo are slowly rising, while the rising star of China, Sanda, has almost no influence.
Huang Yifei wanted to change all this. He had previously established many subordinate professional boxing gyms through Kunlun fighting in China, and even held professional secondary leagues. But seriously, the effect was not as good as Huang Yifei imagined. Perhaps it was because China was not enthusiastic about fighting, or perhaps it was because Kunlun's unsystematic subordinate method was not attractive enough. No matter what the reason was, Kunlun's subordinate professional boxing gyms could not compete with the Taekwondo Hall and Karate Hall all over the streets.
So Huang Yifei finally decided to establish the Kunlun Gymnasium, which is exclusively for Chinese fighting. However, the Kunlun Gymnasium does not teach any fixed sect moves, and does not even propose its own martial arts philosophy. Everything is in line with the strongest practical action goal.
In fact, Huang Yifei wanted to create his own martial arts philosophy before, just like Jeet Kune Do. But in the end, Huang Yifei discovered that what China actually lacked was not ideological things, but practical combat and hands-on work. There were too many things to talk about on paper, so let his Kunlun Gymnasium practice all this!
But this is a difficult process, even harder than any career of Huang Yifei. This is why Huang Yifei entered the business world because he needed enough funds to support him in opening the Kunlun Gymnasium all over the world. If he succeeded in the end, it would be Huang Yifei's most proudest thing!
ps: I haven't spoken in the chapter for a long time. This time I'm telling my brothers that this book is coming to an end. Yifei began to gradually realize his ambitions and goals. It's probably a month to complete the book. Brothers will support the cycle for a month.
Chapter completed!
