Chapter 529: Red Flag Leads the Way, $88 Billion Market Value? Musk: I Have People!
After a twelve-hour flight, we finally landed at Kennedy International Airport.
Chen Yansen then got into a Hongqi H7, took out his mobile phone and turned on Yunzhou, and immediately received messages from Ma Wenteng, Huang Zheng, Song Yuncheng, Wang Zihao and others.
After replying to a few messages casually, he settled into being a mascot.
The group first returned to the hotel to adjust to the jet lag, and in the afternoon they mingled with the visiting delegation and met many senior officials of the Lighthouse Country.
In the reporter's camera, if you didn't look at his face, others would almost think he was Li Qingsong's security guard.
After attending several business meetings in succession, it was not until the next morning that Huang Zheng called and said that they had arrived at the Peninsula Hotel at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and 55th Street.
Only then did Chen Yansen say goodbye and leave Li Qingsong's visiting group.
However, the other party still arranged two staff members from the Anguo Association to be responsible for his travel safety in North America.
Chen Yansen understood what the other party meant. Although he brought a group of security personnel with him, he did not reject Li Qingsong's kindness.
Afterwards, he drove a Hongqi H7 to the Peninsula Hotel in a rather ostentatious manner.
The car still had domestic license plates on the front and back, but there was a bright red flag on the bumper.
This car doesn't look worth much, but it is much safer than the Rolls-Royce that Huang Zheng rented for him.
The car had been driving for just a few minutes when the phone in my pocket rang.
Chen Yansen took out his cell phone and saw that the caller was Duan Yongping, the founder of BBK.
He thought about it and pressed the answer button.
"Mr. Chen, are you free tonight? I'd like to treat you to dinner."
Duan Yongping asked straight to the point.
"No problem, I'll let Huang Zheng arrange it." Chen Yansen responded readily.
Huang Zheng can be considered as Duan Yongping's "disciple", so he was also invited on the day Pinbei went public.
"Mr. Chen, Huang Zheng hasn't been to North America for several years. How would he know which restaurant has the best food? Let me arrange it." Duan Yongping replied with a smile.
"Okay, then I'll wait for Mr. Duan's news."
Chen Yansen didn't think too much about it. Given his and Duan Yongping's wealth, it didn't matter who treated them.
He paused and said, "I need to bring a few friends along. Does Mr. Duan mind?"
"It doesn't matter. Mr. Chen's friends are my friends." Duan Yongping said generously.
He knew clearly who the "friends" Chen Yansen was talking about were; they were none other than Ma Wenteng, Zhou Jiancheng and others.
"He's been on the evening news three times in a row. This kid's future is truly limitless."
After hanging up the phone, Duan Yongping squinted his eyes and muttered softly.
at the same time.
The financiers and bankers on Wall Street had already received the news that Chen Yansen had arrived in New York, but they could never find an opportunity to meet with him.
After all, Chen Yansen’s identity on this trip is not single.
He not only represents Senpinbei Technology and Senlian Capital, but is also a member of the China Business Group.
The day's schedule was packed, from meetings with local economic and trade associations to visits to technology companies. Every minute and every second had a clear plan, leaving no room for private meetings.
Therefore, after learning that Chen Yansen went to the Peninsula Hotel, calls came in like snowflakes.
How could Chen Yansen have time to chat with them!
Therefore, he rejected most invitations to dinner and only accepted invitations from the five major underwriting institutions, including Goldman Sachs, Morgan Credit Suisse and Morgan Stanley.
About half an hour later, the car slowly stopped.
The staff of the Anguo Association reminded: "Mr. Chen, we have arrived at our destination."
Chen Yansen rolled down the car window and saw Huang Zheng standing in front of the hotel gate. Wang Zihao and Meng Xibo were standing beside him, dressed respectably, baring their teeth and smiling broadly.
Song Yuncheng was wearing an indigo suit with his hair tied back, which made him look more mature and intellectual than usual.
"Brother Sen!" Wang Zihao waved his arms and greeted him.
Although Wang Zihao was transferred by Chen Yansen to be responsible for the OFO bicycle project, his options were retained.
In addition, he was one of the first backbone members of Pinbei, so Chen Yansen specially called him over from Hangzhou.
Chen Yansen smiled and got out of the car.
"Boss, this is Zhou Lijuan, a fruit farmer from Bagong Mountain. This is Ding Yuhang, Pinbei's first order user. This is Lu Hua, the Yunsu courier who delivered Ding Yuhang's order."
Huang Zheng stepped back and introduced the other three people.
"Hello, Mr. Chen!" Zhou Lijuan grinned, her hands unconsciously grabbing the hem of her clothes, and an embarrassed expression appeared on her face.
She never imagined that one day she would be able to set foot on North American soil and ring the bell at a company listing with her fellow villagers.
"Sister Zhou, thank you for your hard work. If you have any discomfort with accommodation or meals, please let the staff know."
Chen Yansen shook hands with Zhou Lijuan and spoke in a gentle tone.
Sister Zhou?
Zhou Lijuan felt warm in her heart, and felt that Chen Yansen was very humble.
"Mr. Chen, everything is fine." Before leaving, Zhou Lijuan thought about what she should say after meeting Chen Yansen.
But now that he was in front of her, she was stuck again and her words were dry.
"Mr. Ding, thank you for your support of Pinbei."
Chen Yansen walked past Zhou Lijuan and greeted Ding Yuhang.
"Mr. Chen, please don't thank me. Pinbei provided me with food, accommodation, and air tickets, and also compensated me for the loss of my leave, plus a lot of stocks. I feel embarrassed to take it."
Ding Yuhang was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, and said with a smile.
He knew in his heart that he was like a lucky cat and was part of the story of Pinbei's listing.
"There is only one thing that can lead to two things. It is thanks to Mr. Ding's support that Pinbei has achieved what it has today."
Chen Yansen spoke very nicely, and just a casual word from him made Ding Yuhang admire him.
He scratched his head, smiled innocently and said, "Mr. Chen, you are too kind to me. I just placed an order casually."
Back then, when Pinbei was first launched, he felt that the model of this platform was quite fresh, so he became an early user with a try-it attitude, and also invited many of his friends to use it together.
Later, Pinbei staff contacted him and said they wanted to invite him to participate in the listing event as a user representative, but he felt like he was dreaming.
"Every bit of support is worth remembering," Chen Yansen said sincerely, "Pinbei's success today is inseparable from users like Mr. Ding."
Ding Yuhang felt warm in his heart when he heard this.
He straightened his back and thought that being able to participate in Pinbei's bell-ringing ceremony was something he should be particularly proud of.
An e-commerce giant with a market value of 88 billion US dollars!
Maybe I can even be on TV!
Originally, he was thinking that once the window period arrived, he would sell the stocks given by the other party and cash them in to buy himself a digital camera.
But at this moment, his mind changed and he decided to keep these stocks as a souvenir.
"boss!"
When Lu Hua saw Chen Yansen approaching, he quickly took the initiative to greet him.
He is different from Zhou Lijuan and Ding Yuhang. He is a courier for Yunsu Express and an employee of Chen Yansen.
"Liao Wei said you're the pickup king at the Yiwu site. Remember to come to this year's annual meeting. We can have a drink together then."
Chen Yansen patted Lu Hua on the shoulder and said.
"Okay, boss. I'll definitely go." Lu Hua responded with a smile.
"There are still two days until the launch. I'll have my staff take you around New York and the surrounding areas so you can relax."
Chen Yansen said this to Zhou Lijuan, Ding Yuhang and Lu Hua. The first two were not employees of Senlian Capital. Although Lu Hua was on the list, he could not provide any practical help at the stage of listing.
Although he asked these three people to ring the bell more because he valued their image value, he would never really treat them as mascots for display only.
After finishing the explanation, Chen Yansen continued to walk inside.
There are more than 40 Pinbei staff members living in the Peninsula Hotel, covering multiple departments.
For example, the public relations team is responsible for connecting with global media, coordinating news releases, interview arrangements, and on-site media reception related to the listing, ensuring accurate and smooth information transmission of the listing activities;
The legal and financial teams will be on-site to handle any unexpected or detailed issues that may arise, such as verifying legal documents and explaining financial data, to ensure compliance with the listing process;
The administrative team is responsible for logistical support such as itinerary arrangements, accommodation, transportation, and catering, as well as administrative affairs such as conference coordination and material preparation at the listing site to ensure the smooth progress of the entire event.
How could Huang Zheng and a few others handle the complicated listing process alone?
Especially when listing overseas, the interests of all parties are involved. Without the assistance of a professional team, you will most likely fall into countless pitfalls.
As soon as Chen Yansen entered the door, he saw Xu Xingxing busy at work.
She was holding documents in her hand and talking to the director of the administrative department, apparently discussing the preparations for the listing day.
Chen Yansen took the room card handed to him by Song Yuncheng and walked directly into the elevator.
Song Yuncheng pushed his suitcase and followed him silently like an assistant.
The next two days.
During the day, Chen Yansen confirmed the details of the bell ringing and opening price inquiry with Huang Zheng and others, and in the evening he was invited to attend a cocktail party hosted by underwriters such as Goldman Sachs, Morgan Credit Suisse and Morgan Stanley.
Musk came all the way from Texas specifically to support Chen Yansen, and told him privately that he had connections in the Texas East Court and that he would fully support Tiangong Technology in the patent infringement lawsuit between Tiangong and Qualcomm.
Trying to please Chen Yansen!
There was no way. He knew very well that without Deep Blue batteries, Tesla's sales in North America would at most be 20,000 vehicles.
It’s not like now, the Model S LR alone has sold nearly 30,000 units.
Tesla's stock price has been soaring like a rocket.
Chen Yansen did not reject Musk's kindness. The other party has been working in the Lighthouse Country for many years, so it is normal for him to have some network of relationships. How can he not care about human relationships?
He is not stupid!
Who can guarantee that the Texas East Court will not favor Qualcomm?
If you have connections, you have to use them!
…
…
Time passed quickly, and soon it was 6:30 in the morning on the 27th. A large number of media had already gathered at the entrance of the New York Stock Exchange.
Among them, there are more than 60 media outlets from Europe and the United States, and more than 80 domestic media outlets.
Pinbei is the first company among the three giants of China's e-commerce to ring the bell and go public, so it naturally received a lot of attention.
In addition to Chen Yansen's title as the world's richest man and the identity of a business delegation, it attracted even more attention.
As soon as 7 o'clock arrived, a Hongqi H7 slowly drove in, followed by more than a dozen luxury cars of various brands and models.
As soon as the car stopped and the door opened, reporters from the National Daily, the New York Times, Time Magazine, Forbes Magazine and CCTV began to press the shutter button frantically.
Chen Yansen wore a white shirt and a black suit, standing tall, giving the media ample opportunities to take photos.
Huang Zheng followed closely behind, wearing an indigo suit, following the boss closely.
Two staff members from the Security Association and six employees from Fengshuan Security Company tightly protected the two people and stopped the reporters who wanted to rush over.
Chen Yansen stood there and waited for a minute. Ma Wenteng, Duan Yongping, Zhou Jiancheng, Musk and others got out of the car one after another and waved to the camera with a smile on their faces.
Representatives from the five major underwriters, including Goldman Sachs, Morgan Credit Suisse and Morgan Stanley, were also dressed in suits and shiny leather shoes.
A group of people strode into the New York Stock Exchange!
At the same time.
The news that Chen Yansen arrived in North America with Li Qingsong's delegation spread across the country in an instant through the evening news.
“Is this my son?”
Chen Guobin, who was far away in Chunshen, looked at the young man following Li Qingsong on TV with a confused look on his face and muttered softly.
