Chapter 652 Q2 Financial Report, Officially Entering the 200 Billion US Dollar Club! Angry Little Brother Ma!
On the afternoon of July 17, a Gulfstream G550 slowly landed at Yanjing International Airport.
Chen Yansen walked down the gangway, boarded a Maybach 62S, and sped towards the Financial Street.
at the same time.
Pinbei uploaded its second quarter and first half financial statements to the United States Securities and Exchange Association database, and then simultaneously posted them on its official website.
An investor who bought Pinbei stock immediately ran to the official website to download the PDF file. When he turned to the core operating indicators, he couldn't suppress the smile.
"Thank you, Brother Sen! Thank you, Pinbei! Praise CCTV!"
The investor chuckled and looked excited.
If Chen Yansen were here at this moment, he would have rushed up to hug her and kiss her.
He initially opened a position at a price of US$52.6 per share, investing US$200,000 in one go.
In just half a year, Pinbei's stock price rose from the issue price of US$49.1 to US$85.1, with a book profit of US$124,000.
Subsequently, financial information websites such as Toutiao, Xueqiu, Tiger Brokers and Sina Finance reprinted the article.
“Sales: 362.07 billion, a year-on-year increase of 139.2%;
Total revenue: 28.04 billion, a year-on-year increase of 126.7%;
Online marketing advertising service revenue: 15.19 billion, accounting for 54.2%;
Transaction service (commission, purchase and sale price difference) revenue: 12.85 billion, accounting for 45.8%;
Net profit: 12.94 billion."
After watching it, netizens couldn't help but start discussing it.
In their view, the most terrifying thing about Pinbei is not its revenue and net profit, but its terrifying growth rate.
Three months ago, Pinbei’s average daily sales were only 3.35 billion yuan; three months later, the daily transaction volume climbed to 3.97 billion yuan.
Especially in the past week, Pinbei's average daily sales have stabilized at around 4.8 billion.
Based on the current growth momentum, the total transaction volume in the third quarter will exceed 450 billion yuan.
The gap between Ali and Pinbei is getting bigger and bigger!
"Damn it! I regret it so much! I didn't buy it back then because it was too expensive. Now I'm afraid Pinbei's stock price is going to break through the $100 mark."
"You can buy Dongfang. If the big brother goes up, the little brother will definitely follow suit!"
"Pinbei sold 660 billion in half a year, so wouldn't it be 1.3 trillion a year?"
"A hot fact: The second half of the year is the real peak season for e-commerce. 1.3 trillion? I think 1.5 trillion is even possible!"
"By the way, Lazada's transaction volume in the first half of the year was 170 million US dollars, which is quadrupled compared to 2013. This CEO, Zhang Yifeng, is quite something."
"Pinbei's e-commerce business in Europe, North America, South America, and Australia is growing slowly, and its stock price may fall back."
In the comments sections of the three major portals, Toutiao, Douyin and Kuaishou, most netizens expressed optimism about Pinbei’s stock price.
Investors who used to look down on Pinbei are now busy opening investment accounts, looking forward to the moment the market opens.
The other side.
As soon as Chen Yansen arrived at the hotel, calls came in one after another from Zhang Chaoyang, Lei Yijun, Zhou Hongyi, Jia Yaoting and others.
After a brief thought, he readily accepted the invitation.
After all, since I'm in Yanjing, I can't just leave after the meeting.
Although with his current status, he no longer needs to use drinking parties to maintain relationships with his partners, but he still has to meet old friends.
"Boss, should I stay in the hotel?" Ye Qiuping asked in a soft voice.
"You are my temporary secretary now, so of course you will go with me."
Chen Yansen patted Master Ye's butt and signaled her to change into suitable clothes.
Ye Qiuping was delighted and pushed the suitcase into the bedroom.
Chen Yansen walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, sat down, and put his phone on the coffee table.
A few days ago, Wang Guangtong revealed inside information to him on the phone that this Leaders' Financial Summit will be hosted by Li Qingsong, and the discussions will cover macroeconomics, financial policies and industry trends.
To put it bluntly, the final decision made at the meeting will basically be the industry trend for the next two to three years.
In the eyes of ordinary people, those industry leaders can always accurately seize the trend, and most of them have far-sighted strategic vision.
But in fact, it’s all bullshit!
These people just stand at a high position and have a lot of information. Isn't it normal for them to know what the next trend will be?
What’s even more impressive is the Economic Development Association, they are creating trends!
In addition, one of the several proposals submitted by Chen Yansen in March was passed.
That is, companies with a "same shares, different voting rights" structure are allowed to be listed on the Hong Kong and A-share markets, but a pilot program must be carried out in the early stages, and the pilot quotas will be allocated by the Securities Exchange Association.
Another more important news is that restrictions on private banks will be relaxed, and five licenses will be issued in the first batch. Senlian Capital was successfully selected.
You know, Senlian Capital not only owns Orange Pay, but also Semir Online. It has a full range of electronic payment tools and insurance companies. If not Senlian, who else can it be given to?
As for the other places, Chen Yansen knew after a little thought that Ma Wenteng and Ma Liyun must have a chance.
The remaining two will most likely be given to leading companies in the physical manufacturing industry.
Open a bank?
What’s your name?
Chen Yansen raised the corner of his mouth slightly, thinking with a smirk: How about intercepting Lao Ma's online shopping or Xiao Ma's WeBank?
…
…
At seven o'clock in the evening, a Maybach 62S stopped at the reception area on the first floor of China Resources Building.
Chen Yansen stepped out of the car. His light grey haute couture suit perfectly set off his figure. His shiny leather shoes and neat short hair made him look clean and neat.
His eyes were deep and he exuded a calm and reserved aura.
Ye Qiuping, who was standing beside him, was wearing a dark purple evening dress. She elegantly held Chen Yansen's right hand and followed him closely.
"Yensen!"
As soon as Zhang Chaoyang saw Chen Yansen in the rest area, he immediately stood up and took the initiative to greet him with a smile on his face.
Lei Yijun, He Xiaopeng, Zhou Hongyi and Jia Yaoting hurriedly followed.
They didn't dare to sit in their seats carelessly, waiting for Chen Yansen to come closer.
"Old Zhang, you've lost a lot of weight. I just opened a pig farm. I'll give you two pigs when they're sold to replenish your body."
Chen Yansen raised his hand and patted Zhang Chaoyang on the shoulder, with a smile on his face, and said half-jokingly.
"To be honest, I still have half a pig of black pork that Ding Lei gave me in my freezer."
Zhang Chaoyang grinned and pulled Chen Yansen into the club.
"Don't worry, Pony and Qiangdong will be here soon, just wait for them."
Chen Yansen waved his hand and refused.
"Mr. Chen!" Lei Yijun and others hurriedly stepped forward to greet him with a smile.
Chen Yansen smiled and greeted Lei Yijun, He Xiaopeng, Zhou Hongyi and Jia Yaoting one by one.
"Mr. Chen, Xiaomi will hold a new product launch conference at the National Convention Center next Tuesday."
Lei Yijun said with a smile.
Chen Yansen knew what Lao Lei meant, but he didn't have time to participate.
If it weren't for this closed-door meeting, he would probably still be at Star Source Technology's optical R&D center, focusing on the optimization of motion control algorithms.
Lei Yijun understood immediately when he saw this. There are some things that don’t need to be asked or said. Saying them out loud will only embarrass his elder brother and himself.
Although he is a technician by profession, his grasp of human relationships is not inferior to some veterans in the business world who have been struggling for many years.
Not long after, Ma Wenteng and Liu Qiangdong rushed over.
"Pony!" Chen Yansen waved his hand.
When the two were still five or six meters apart, Ma Wenteng stretched out his right hand, then quickly stepped forward and shook Chen Yansen's hand.
Since the establishment of Orange Interactive Entertainment, the biggest grudge in Pony Ma's heart has disappeared.
Although Penguin's control over the entertainment industry has weakened, it will be able to obtain greater profits in the future.
A powerful alliance!
Make money at every step!
Ma Wenteng is not very interested in controlling shares, he only cares about actual benefits.
Although the two still compete in the fields of short videos and e-commerce, these two businesses account for a very small proportion in the Penguin Group.
Therefore, overall, the cooperative relationship between Suncity and Penguin remains close.
"What time did you arrive?" Ma Wenteng asked casually while shaking his hand.
"A little after three o'clock." Chen Yansen answered in a relaxed and nonchalant tone.
"I've asked someone about this closed-door meeting. Although the higher-ups have allowed the establishment of private banks, those bank bosses haven't been so timid and have forced us to set up only one physical branch in the city where the head office is located. Isn't this bullying?"
Ma Wenteng lowered his voice and cursed with a frown.
This is equivalent to locking up the possibility for private banks to absorb deposits and reach customers through offline expansion. It is very limited and the only way left is online operation.
"Just take it slow. Didn't Ma say that? If the banks don't change, he'll change the banks."
Chen Yansen joked.
"Come on! That's just empty talk. Just wait and see. Will he dare to confront the bank tomorrow?"
Ma Wenteng pushed his glasses and sneered.
Chen Yansen hooked his arm around Xiao Ma's shoulder and whispered, "Once you get a financial license and a business license, you can accept deposits at low interest rates and issue loans at high interest rates. You can make at least tens of billions a year."
"Tens of billions? Mr. Chen, forget it! First, we don't have any physical branches. Second, our lending business can only serve small and micro businesses and agriculture, rural areas, and farmers. You should be aware that these areas inherently have high risks and operating costs, as well as low profit margins.
To put it bluntly, these bastards are completely insincere and have only thrown us scraps."
Ma Wenteng cursed indignantly.
In order to promote the issuance of policies for private banks, he has put in a lot of effort and sacrificed a lot of favors and interests. It would be strange if he was not angry.
On the other hand, Chen Yansen just happened to get a ride.
You don't have to put in any effort, but you can still get a share of the profits.
After hearing this, Chen Yansen couldn't help but laugh.
He really didn't expect that Ma Wenteng had such a strong resentment in his heart.
However, he could understand it.
"Brother Sen!" Liu Qiangdong waited until the two finished chatting before greeting them.
"Is Dongfang's market capitalization $39 billion? I think it's going to break $40 billion tonight."
Chen Yansen put his hand on Liu Qiangdong's shoulder and said with a smile.
"It's all thanks to Brother Sen's support!" Liu Qiangdong said gratefully.
His live broadcast room is the only one on the entire network that has the privilege of broadcasting on two platforms. If other anchors dare to do this, their live broadcast room will be blocked the first time and their accounts will be blocked the second time.
Don’t underestimate this right!
The reason why Dongfang can broadcast once a week and generate sales of more than 300 million each time is precisely because of the live broadcast rights on two platforms.
The two short video platforms have a total of more than 240 million daily active users. Every time JD.com starts a live broadcast, millions of buyers flock to the live broadcast room.
With such huge traffic, it’s hard not to be popular.
Ma Wenteng looked at Liu Qiangdong talking with Chen Yansen, sighed slightly in his heart, and couldn't help but recall: When negotiating with Liu Qiangdong last year, if the conditions were not so harsh, would Penguin be able to sell QQ Group Buying, Paipai.com and Yixun.com to JD.com?
Now, Liu Qiangdong has completely turned to Senlian Capital.
QQ Group Buying, Paipai.com and Yixun.com were ruined by Penguin, and they couldn’t even find a reliable buyer.
In addition, Pinbei, Yaomao and Yidong are constantly expanding their business boundaries, resulting in Penguin's e-commerce market share becoming smaller and smaller.
Continuing to throw money at blood transfusions is like throwing meat buns at a dog;
Ma Wenteng was reluctant to stop the losses in time and shut down these projects.
It hurts!
Xiao Ma Ge sighed silently.
"Don't just stand here, let's go upstairs and chat!"
Zhang Chaoyang waved his hand.
The group walked straight into the elevator.
The waiter guarding the elevator door, wearing a charcoal gray suit and a neatly tied bow tie, pressed the elevator button for several people.
With a "ding" sound, the elevator door opened.
We’ve reached the top floor!
There was no extra decoration within sight except for a mahogany table. The walnut wall panels extended from the ground to the waistline, and above them were walls painted cream white, with several abstract oil paintings framed in thin black frames.
The dome is embedded with geometric frosted glass lamps. Warm yellow light shines through the glass, casting diamond-shaped spots of light on the marble floor.
This is the top private club in Yanjing!
The entrance fee is 200,000 yuan and the annual fee is 20,000 yuan. The 220,000 yuan is the ticket price, and consumption is calculated separately.
Most of the members are executives from Fortune 500 companies. Those who are willing to pay this money do not come here for entertainment, but to "make friends."
As soon as the front desk manager looked up, he saw Chen Yansen walking in front, with his left arm around Penguin Chairman Ma Wenteng and his right arm around JD.com founder Liu Qiangdong.
Look further ahead!
They are Zhang Chaoyang of Sohu, Lei Yijun of Xiaomi, Zhou Hongyi of 360, He Xiaopeng, CEO of Xpeng Motors, and Jia Yaoting of LeTV. None of them has a simple role.
Without thinking too much, I immediately walked up to him with a smile on my face and said "Good evening" politely.
The front desk manager personally led Chen Yansen and others to the Guanlan Hall.
This is a luxuriously decorated Chinese-style box, almost one hundred square meters in size, overlooking the heart of Yanjing. The Forbidden City is three kilometers away.
As soon as Zhang Chaoyang sat down, a waiter brought him a box of cigars.
"King of Denmark?" Liu Qiangdong took a glance and muttered to himself.
This cigar costs nearly 30,000 yuan, which is about the average person's annual salary.
Zhang Chaoyang took one, skillfully cut off the cap with a tool, lit it himself, and took a puff.
Chen Yansen never smokes, so he opened a bottle of wine and chatted about business with Ma Wenteng, Liu Qiangdong and Lei Yijun.
The New York Stock Exchange opened at 9:30.
Zhang Chaoyang immediately turned on the screen projection and switched to the stock interface. The stock code on the page was PINB.
The stock price soared at the opening and triggered the circuit breaker mechanism.
At this time, Pinbei's stock price was US$93.6, with a total market value of US$207.8 billion, officially entering the 200 billion club.
