On June 1st, Children's Day, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Shen Fang led the way, followed by Little Ma and the Four Great Generals Zeng Liqing, Zhang Zhidong, Chen Yidan, and Xu Chenhua, along with Ding Sanshi and Zhang Xiaolong, whom they hadn't seen in a long time.

Ding Sanshi exchanged 1% of his shares for 1% of Xiao Ma's shares, which can be considered as Xiao Ma taking care of Ding's younger brother.

Following them were more than 20 celebrity shareholders, including Jackie Chan, Andy Lau, Chow Yun-fat, Stephen Chow, Rosamund Kwan, Chingmy Yau, Michelle Reis, Sean Lau, Tony Leung Ka-fai, and Louis Koo, who enjoyed internal shares, each receiving 300,000 internal shares.

Finally, Chen Huilin, Fan Xiaopang, and Liu Tianxian, the three beauties, came together, each receiving 1 million shares of internal stock. All of this was sponsored by Shen Fang.

Of course, Gwei Lun-mei and Liu Shishi also had their own, but they were all in Shen Kun's hands.

Xu Xin, Shi Nansheng, and Zhong Lifang were also given 500,000 internal shares, which they didn't have to pay for.

Shen Fang was dressed in a white haute couture suit, with an elegant slicked-back hairstyle, Italian haute couture shoes, gold-rimmed glasses, a cigarette dangling from his lips, and a smug smile on his face. With his handsome features and a height of 185 cm, he stood out from the crowd and exuded a refined and elegant demeanor.

The word "handsome" defined his entire life.

Little Ma looked pretty good today too. His hair was specially permed, and the suit cost over 500,000 RMB, which Shen Fang paid for. The main problem was that Little Ma was a cheapskate, pretending to be poor and wanting Shen Fang to pay. Whatever, they're brothers. He's already ripped off Little Ma so much; it's just a suit. He was all smiles, but looked like he was about to bite.

The four warriors were dressed in black suits, looking very solemn, but they also had big smiles on their faces. After suffering for so long, they were finally about to take off.

I don't know what Zhang Xiaolong and Ding Pangzi, those two tech geeks, were thinking. They were dressed in short sleeves, shorts, and flip-flops, and their hair was completely unwashed. They looked sloppy.

Shen Fang put his arm around Xiao Ma's shoulder.

"Brother Ma, we've finally made it this far! Let's go!!!"

Brother Ma laughed loudly: "Brothers, it's time to eat meat! Let's go!!!"

The Four Heavenly Kings: "Let's go!!!"

The group entered the venue.

There were already quite a few people inside, all well-known figures from the financial district. Chen Chongwei and Cao Zijia also brought a large group of friends to show their support.

Jane Landa and Huang Youcai walked up to Chen Fang, Xiao Ma Ge, and the others with smiles on their faces.

"Everything is ready, enjoy the moment of glory."

Shen Fang laughed loudly: "Brothers and sisters, it's time to eat meat."

Chen Fang, Little Ma, and the Four Great Vajras, a total of six people, raised a large hammer tied with a red brocade ribbon and struck the bell.

With a smile, Hong Kong Stock Exchange Co-Chief Operating Officer Chen Yiting announced: "Tencent is going public!!!"

"Stock code HK00700, opening price HK$3.20, 300 million new public shares issued."

After the official listing, Chen Fang still pondered the situation. Considering Tencent's potential and the methods he had recently used, he realized there was no need to issue an additional 500 million shares; instead, he issued an additional 300 million shares.

Standing on the high platform, looking at the Tencent stock on the big screen, Chen Fang hugged Pony Ma and the Four Heavenly Kings and shouted, "Give it a rise!!!!"

The celebrity shareholders, the two heads of the guarantee agency, the wealthy people brought by the father-in-law and mother-in-law, and some Hong Kong investors who were optimistic about Tencent and made a big bet all shouted along.

"Raise it!!!!"

3.3 yuan, 3.5 yuan, 3.7 yuan, 4 yuan, 5 yuan, 6 yuan, 7 yuan, 8 yuan...

An hour later, Tencent's stock price soared, reaching 22 yuan by the 11:30 AM closing time. Nearly 80 million orders were traded, though not all were buys; some were sells as the price surged too sharply, and investors feared being trapped.

Everyone started to go crazy.

Little Ma and the Four Heavenly Kings were overjoyed, laughing maniacally and dancing with glee. Zeng Liqing, in particular, who had been swindled by Little Ma to the point of almost being unable to afford food, kept muttering, "I'm rich! I'm eating! I'm rich now!!!"

Chen Fang was extremely pleased with himself. The price had already reached 22 yuan as soon as the market opened. As long as it stabilized at 18 yuan, the goal of raising 5 billion yuan could be achieved.

Shen Fang loosened his tie and offered cigarettes to Xiao Ma and the others.

"Brother Ma, Brother Zeng, how are you feeling?"

Little Ma clutched his chest: "Brother, my heart is pounding right now, I need to calm down. I never expected Tencent's stock to be so popular. My God, it jumped to 22 yuan in one go, wow!"

Zeng Liqing nodded: "Who says otherwise? If we calculate it this way, all of us brothers are worth over a billion. We've earned enough money in several lifetimes in one go. Mr. Shen, you're amazing."

Shen Fang waved his hand: "This morning, some big players were buying up stocks. My father-in-law, the landlords' association, and Goldman Sachs were all buying up stocks, which is why the price increase was so fast. Let's see what happens this afternoon. Let's go get some food, rest, and come back when it starts to rise again."

"Brother, I need lobster, abalone, and sea cucumber to nourish myself. I'm having a bit of an irregular heartbeat right now."

Shen Fang laughed loudly: "Brother Ma, make the arrangements!!!"

At this moment, everyone was immersed in joy.

One million shares, converted to current prices, are worth 22 yuan. Fan Xiaopang was dumbfounded, counting the money on his fingers. How could there be so much money?! How could there be so much small change?! I'm rich!!! I'm rich!!!

Liu Tianxian was quite frightened when she saw Fan Xiaopang grinning foolishly while counting on his fingers.

"Little Fatty, what's wrong with you? Your smile is so scary!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Huilin pinched Fan Xiaopang's chest hard. Fan Xiaopang woke up in pain; Chen Huilin was using this as an excuse to hit him hard, and Fan Xiaopang's chest burned with pain.

He glared at Chen Huilin and yelled, "What are you doing?!"
