The reporter interview session began.

"Mr. Ma, based on today's stock price, Tencent's valuation has suddenly reached nearly 30 billion. What are your thoughts on this valuation?"

Little Ma smiled and said, "Thank you again to our Hong Kong shareholders for your support. I will not let you down. Tencent's value is far more than this, so please rest assured, Tencent will only get better and better!!!"

After Pony Ma finished speaking, a commotion broke out in the audience. 30 billion wasn't enough, and it could get even better? This mainland company is really that powerful. However, everyone present knew about Tencent's background. With hundreds of millions of users, Tencent's value is undeniable. As long as it can be monetized well, its future is indeed bright.

Southern Metropolis Daily reporter: "Mr. Ma, there's a lot of talk about why Tencent's stock price is so high—it's because someone is deliberately driving up the price and manipulating the market, and that its actual value isn't that high. What are your thoughts on this?"

"Regarding this question, I can say very clearly that it's impossible. How could we manipulate the stock price on our first day of listing? Our listing was solely for raising funds. The reason why Tencent's stock price has risen so much is twofold: firstly, given the current economic climate, Tencent is a technology stock, and technology is the primary productive force of the future; secondly, everyone has great confidence in Tencent. This whole thing is completely fabricated."

The reporter nodded; they also found it absurd. Going public is about raising money; if that much capital could really drive up the overall stock price, would there be any need to go public? Besides, Tencent is currently riding high, with several multinational investment companies valuing it at over 10 billion, although today's stock price did indeed rise a bit too sharply.

The outside speculation is indeed correct. Today's market surge was mainly driven by wealthy people in Hong Kong, private equity funds from their fathers-in-law's side, Goldman Sachs, and landlords buying up stocks, which directly accounted for nearly 45% of the market's gains. The remaining 15% was bought by ordinary investors.

However, as long as there are no problems with Penguin's development, its stock price is unlikely to fall. Moreover, Pony Ma has also outlined Penguin's development plan. The rest depends on Penguin's performance.

Although there is a one-year quiet period for internal shareholders who cannot trade, Goldman Sachs, Landlord Club, and Chen Chongwei's private equity fund have also signed an agreement not to trade for three years, so Tencent's stock price is not expected to fluctuate significantly in the short term.

No matter what, with money in hand, I can go anywhere in the world!

With money in hand, it's natural to want to have some fun, especially after stock dilution.

Shen Fang still holds 20% of the shares, Little Ma holds 16%, the Four King Kongs each hold 8%, Ding Sanshi holds 1%, Zhang Xiaolong holds 1%, and Baring Asia holds 3.5%. The rest are held by senior executives and veterans of the company, as well as some celebrities who were granted shares this time.

Converted to today's prices

Shen Fang's net worth is close to 7 billion.

Pony Ma's net worth is close to 5.7 billion.

The four "King Kongs" each have nearly 3 billion.

Ding Sanshi and Zhang Xiaolong together have over 370 million yuan.

It directly created 8 billionaires, 17 multimillionaires, and 6% of the billionaires.

With this, the most important part of Shen Fang's work was completed.

Life is short, so people decided to enjoy it to the fullest. The entire 28th floor of the Peninsula Hotel was booked out. A professional team was hired to set up the banquet, and every single one of Hong Kong's celebrities, financial tycoons, and entertainment figures was in attendance.

The moment of extravagance and debauchery had arrived. Shen Fang, with his flamboyant and swaggering dance moves, challenged Xiao Ma Ge's unrestrained and wild style. The two of them exuded the aura of billionaires.

Shen Fang raised his French champagne and Xiao Ma Ge blew into the bottle.

"Keep the music playing, keep dancing!!!"
