In Jiangcheng in December, fireworks are brilliant along the Yangtze River, full of romantic and festive atmosphere.
For the entire Hubei Province, December is a month worth remembering.
After a long period of pre-IPO preparations, Pinyuan Park announced at the same time in Jiangcheng and New York that it would officially land on the Nasdaq market.
When Pinyuan was listed, Nasdaq made an exception and sent a bell button from New York to Jiangcheng, and the bells were rung in both places at the same time.
Gu Yun, the actual controller of Pinyuan Park, appeared before the bell-ringing ceremony and delivered a speech at Jiangcheng Center.
Journalists from various media outlets are gradually entering the scene. Pinleyuan’s spin-off of the group and listing of the company is a very important event for consumers and the media.
Everyone is curious about how far Pinyuan’s share price will go, and how high the legendary actual controller Gu Yun’s worth will soar after it goes public.
Now the impression given by Pinyuan Park has changed. Its label is no longer "high cost performance" or "small profits but quick turnover". Now it is labeled "new e-commerce", "50 enterprises with the greatest development potential", "universities".
One of the most anticipated companies for graduates to work for.”
All in all, after years of accumulation, Pinleyuan has long since gotten rid of the stereotype of cheap but not good products.
Soon, Pinleyuan's administrative staff came over carrying some bags. As they walked, they handed them out to reporters. They also said, "Media friends, thank you for your hard work. These are some souvenirs from Pinleyuan. Thank you all."
The reporters took it, glanced down at the contents of the bag, and saw an envelope tucked inside. Everyone looked at each other knowingly.
Pinyuan, you deserve to be listed on the market!
"Every insignificant consumption behavior changes the business of this world."
At nine o'clock domestic time, amid flashing spotlights and thunderous applause, Pinyuan Chairman Gu Yun appeared in front of everyone.
There is always something to say before ringing the bell.
"Dear guests, hello everyone! I am Gu Yun, the founder and CEO of Pinleyuan. I am very honored to be able to stand here and share some thoughts with you on behalf of Pinleyuan.
Pinleyuan is a company rooted in China and Jiangcheng, but at the same time, we also hope to radiate around the world in the future, so that the new e-commerce model can be used by the world and enjoyed by consumers around the world."
"This is the reason why we innovatively ring the bells in Jiangcheng and New York at the same time. This arrangement has never been done before, and it is not easy to become a reality. I would like to express my special thanks for facilitating this simultaneous bell-ringing ceremony.
All parties involved, especially Ms. Wen Jue, CFO of Pinyuan.”
Cameras of all sizes were focused not far behind Gu Yun, where there was a beautiful lady with a smile, wearing a well-tailored formal suit, and countless charming gestures.
“In 2015, not long after Pinleyuan was founded, we realized that the Pinleyuan model had huge potential.”
“Since then, we have spent an incredible three years. When everyone thought that the e-commerce landscape was set and history was being written, Pinyuan Garden has gathered 344 million active buyers and over one million merchants in just three years.
And to this day, at this moment, it still maintains rapid growth."
In the audience, the staff of Pinyuan had tears in their eyes.
"While we are pleased with our achievements, we are also always introspecting and reflecting. In 3 years, we have grown from scratch. In the commercial civilization, Pinleyuan is just a 3-year-old child with many obvious problems and is full of visible problems.
Danger and challenge.”
"This forces us to continuously improve, evolve and even evolve to realize our potential and make our due contribution.
If we imagine the future, Pinyin Paradise will become a "new space" where the online virtual space and the real world merge.
In this "space", material consumption and spiritual consumption are organically combined. Users can buy ideal products at the most cost-effective price and gain happiness in the process.
In this "space", the chains at both ends of the supply chain are compressed, mass customization is realized on a large scale, and the unnecessary loss of social resources continues to decrease.
If we use the analogy of traditional enterprises, this "space" should be a combination of "Costco" and "Disney". It not only provides high cost performance, but also integrates entertainment into every link.
We are still quite far away from this goal.
But this also determines that Pinleyuan will be a company based on the long term and continue to challenge itself.
In the process of facing challenges, Pinyin Paradise may undergo many changes, but our mission will never change.
Pinyuan’s mission is to create value for users and meet the needs of the overwhelming majority of the people.
Users first and consumers first are the unchanging creed of Pinyuan.
This time, we are also very honored to invite 9 friends to serve as bell ringers in New York and Jiangcheng.
They are all ordinary users of Pinyuan, and they are also our loveliest people."
Four team members from Jiangcheng raised their hands to signal to everyone, including Wen Jue’s roommate Duan Xuewen and the first lucky person to successfully join the team.
This is not the first time that Gu Yun has given a speech. He is familiar with the routine and now has a full sense of rhythm.
He paused for a few seconds and continued.
“While users create value, the amusement park model also contributes considerable social value to the improvement of the supply chain.
Promoting the upward trend of agricultural products is a good example.
The "order-to-order" model can quickly gather demand and achieve large-scale many-to-many matching, which provides excellent conditions for agricultural products to leave villages and mountains on a large scale.
This also creates a new model of "Internet Agriculture".
In 2014, Pinleyuan used the "pin" model to generate a large number of poverty alleviation orders, supporting a total of 48,000 businesses in 730 national-level poverty-stricken counties in China.
These figures make us very proud, and we also believe that Pinyuan will contribute more in the future.
As I said before, for Pinyuan, listing is just the "starting point". We have just stepped onto the track and are eager to unleash our power and create more value.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! We know that after today, there will be more and more challenges tomorrow.
But we also firmly believe that if we overcome many difficulties, tomorrow will be infinitely better.
Standing at this "new starting point", we also extend our most sincere thanks to all the guests present, as well as Jiangcheng's two thousand friends and hundreds of millions of users.
Thank you to investment institutions and investors from various countries. In the current turbulent international capital market, you have demonstrated your high recognition and trust in Pinyuan and the new e-commerce model.
During the overseas roadshow, my team and I gained great confidence! Thank you everyone!
Thank you all for your persistence and dedication over the past three years. It is your efforts that have laid the foundation for what Pinyuan is today.
At this moment, there are still many partners working on the front line and working tirelessly for the progress of the platform. Thank you!
Thank you to all friends and teachers in the media for your attention and encouragement to Pinyuan. In the future, I hope you will not hesitate to contribute your wisdom and suggestions to Pinyuan. Thank you!
Thanks to the seniors in the Internet and e-commerce circles, Pinyuan Garden can achieve small results because it stands on the shoulders of giants, thank you!"
Gu Yun stood on the stage and bowed in all directions.
Whichever way he faced, things began to boil. Many people stood up from their chairs and applauded non-stop.
“Finally, I would like to thank the country and this great new era.
We believe that among those who forge ahead in the new era, more paradises will emerge, and more models and innovations that were born out of China and serve the world will be born!
That’s all I have to say, thank you everyone!”
Accompanied by cheers and applause, Gu Yun took the gavel handed by the staff.
