Chapter 1271 Lao Ma copied Boss Xia's golden sentence (9400,
"Ladies and gentlemen, let us welcome Jack Horse from the magical China with the warmest applause."
After Credit Suisse CEO Du Deheng finished his presentation, the audience immediately burst into warm applause.
Nearly 1,000 investors from New York State applauded together. The applause at the scene made people feel that their ears were temporarily deafened, and they could not hear any other sounds except the applause.
After Du Deheng finished his introduction, Lao Ma smiled and faced the investors present, waving his hands and walked onto the stage.
At this moment, he could not suppress the excitement in his heart. Since Alibaba was founded on September 9, 1999, it has gone through ups and downs for 14 years. During this period, it has experienced countless ups and downs and suffered countless hardships.
.
And struggled countless times on the edge of hope and collapse, all just to survive.
It seems that it may step into hell at any time, but Jack Ma and his team have tried hard to tell themselves time and time again that if they survive this time, Alibaba will succeed next time. It is with this belief that they put it at the critical moment.
It comes from limbo to the deadlift.
But after a long time, people will easily become tired, fatigued, and even have a mentality of giving up.
I can’t remember how many times I told myself this. Many of the Eighteen Arhats were even numb, and some couldn’t stand it or ran away for other reasons. But Ma Yun and the rest never gave up, and finally made it
This step.
Walking towards the stage with light and solid steps, carved beams and columns with ancient historical atmosphere stand on both sides of the stage, witnessing the glorious history of this hotel for hundreds of years, and also witnessing the passion of countless people with great ideals here.
Express your will.
Now, after Xia Zekai's press conference the day before yesterday, this place has welcomed its second pioneer in a short period of time.
Many people saw this sentence written in Chinese and English on the background screen of the stage: "Let there be no difficult business in the world!"
Ma Yun walked to the center of the stage. At this moment, he had suppressed the strange emotions in his heart and tried to keep himself calm.
Holding a black wireless microphone in one hand, making a fist in the other hand, he stretched out a finger and pointed to the roof of the conference hall, using proficient English to start today's glory.
Everyone under the stage heard Jack Ma say: "There is such a creed in our company: never give up!"
"Fourteen years ago, I told the eighteen entrepreneurs of Alibaba in my apartment in the Lakeside Garden Community in Hangzhou, 'In the future, we will be a century-old company.' We will build one of the top ten websites in the world. Then
It was in 1999, they told me, you are crazy!"
Speaking of this, Ma Yun recalled the early years of hard work and progress. Thinking about it now, everything seems to be reappearing yesterday, vividly in his mind!
"I think at that time, no one would have thought that I would be where I am today, and no one would firmly believe that Alibaba would come to the other side of the ocean thousands of miles away and start the road to IPO."
"But I believe it! I believe that the Internet will change China, and I even believe that the Internet will affect most companies in China, and it will also affect the world!"
"To this end, we have been working hard to prove the feasibility of our path, overcome all obstacles, and never give up!"
At this time, the screen behind Ma Yun kept changing, showing some old photos from when they started their business. In an apartment in Lakeside Garden fourteen years ago, 20 people were crowded into a small space using old computers.
When I'm at work, I make the floor on the floor when I'm sleepy, and when I'm hungry, I eat noodles mixed with pickles.
All the money was spent on equipment and office supplies, and the really poor people had no money to buy groceries.
But even under such difficult conditions, there is no despair or disappointment on the faces of these 20 people. They are all full of vitality and sunshine, and it seems that the future is bright!
"A group of us have been working hard to prove that we can succeed, then 80% of Chinese young people will also succeed. I believe everyone must have a dream, and I also believe everyone must know one sentence: Today is cruel, tomorrow
More cruel, better the day after tomorrow, but most people will die tomorrow night."
As soon as these words were said, there was a burst of good-natured laughter. Cai Chongxin, Lu Zhaoxi and others who were wearing glasses looked at Xia Zekai beside them. They knew very well that Ma Dong had plagiarized Boss Xia's golden words.
But no one would bother with this trivial matter. Everyone's eyes continued to be fixed on Jack Ma on the stage.
Just listen to him continue: "If you don't work hard, you will have no tomorrow!"
Ma Yun said this in one breath and briefly pressed the pause button.
After a while, Credit Suisse CEO Du Deheng walked onto the stage. He also held a wireless microphone in his hand. He looked at Jack Ma who was talking eloquently and said with a smile: "Jack, 2013 will be an unforgettable year for me."
One year, every minute from now on, we are making history. Please allow me to arrange for someone to record all of this. I want to remember them so that I can tell them to my grandchildren in the future."
"Thank you!" Ma Yun held Du Deheng's hands and expressed his sincere gratitude to him.
This time Alibaba embarked on the road to IPO listing in the United States, and capital parties such as Credit Suisse Capital played a key role in it.
Du Deheng said with a smile: "I am looking forward to the most critical day of this month!"
This undoubtedly once again explains to investors attending today's meeting that Alibaba will be officially listed and traded this month.
Ma Yun nodded: "Yes, after fourteen years of hard work, there will eventually be a result!"
After Credit Suisse Capital's Du Deheng stepped onto the stage and expressed his blessings for Alibaba's listing on the New York Stock Exchange.
Tyier Dickson, Citibank's head of global capital markets, also took to the stage and expressed his blessings on the outcome of Alibaba's IPO on behalf of Citibank.
Subsequently, capital investors such as Morgan Stanley, Deutsche Bank, and Goldman Sachs all came on stage one by one and stated that Alibaba was the greatest company they had ever encountered.
When Xia Zekai heard the title "the greatest company" off the stage, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, but he did not go up to make trouble.
Not to mention them, the investors present today are just like this, especially seeing these leading capital underwriters come on stage to endorse one by one, which makes these investors more confident in investing and subscribing to Alibaba!
They also feel that Alibaba will be a great company in the future.
After this link is over, it’s time to introduce the company and its business.
Xia Zekai, who was below the stage, heard Ma Yun continue to talk: "I have always believed that the business our company operates has never been done in the world and history. This is a powerful ecosystem. What we have established is not
A business empire, but through this company's efforts to help small and medium-sized business owners do business more simply and easily."
"When I founded Alibaba, I made sure that everyone who joined Alibaba would be better than me..."
In the following time, after Jack Ma explained the entire ecosystem of Alibaba Group, the scene entered the most critical question and answer session.
At this time, Jack Ma will answer any questions from all investors present that can enhance their confidence in investing in Alibaba.
Some investors repeatedly asked Lao Ma the two questions that a reporter once asked Xia Zekai at the press conference two days ago.
I heard Lao Ma once again solemnly state that Alibaba’s listed shares are priced in the range of US$60 to US$66, and that this IPO plans to raise more than US$20 billion.
At the same time, someone also heard Lao Ma saying in response to a question that Alibaba plans to issue 320 million American depositary shares in the United States. All Alibaba shares are 2.571 billion shares and have not yet been officially listed.
Its market pricing has reached approximately US$180 billion.
This is an astonishing market value.
At the same time, if this listing is successful, it will also be the largest IPO to raise funds in the 223-year history of the New York Stock Exchange. It far exceeds the previous US$16 billion raised by Facebook and the largest previous IPO in the United States.
-VISA’s US$17.9 billion financing.
After Jack Ma responded to the answers to these questions, everyone under the stage could not suppress their excitement. Everyone was imagining what Alibaba would be like after it went public.
Later, there was a strong call for subscriptions. Many investors were grabbing Alibaba's shares, fearing that when all was said and done, there would be no shares left during the offline subscription phase.
Xia Zekai looked at the slightly crazy scene in front of him and was stunned for a while.
But Dong Minglun, who had been standing beside him, couldn't help but take a step forward and joined in the rush to buy Alibaba shares.
At this time, Dong Ming-lun could not see that he would also be a senior executive at Wal-Mart headquarters.
…
At the same time, in China, tens of millions of people paid attention to Alibaba's first road show before its IPO.
They saw the grand scene of the road show through the live broadcast of Jinri Toutiao APP. These people were very excited and felt that they had no regrets in being able to see such a grand scene with their own eyes in this life.
In Qicheng, in Beijing, in Hangzhou, in Magic City, Shencheng and other domestic cities, more people are paying attention to several key figures in the picture.
Everyone watched the scenes taking place at the road show, and the excitement in their hearts was not known to outsiders.
Yatou and Tongtong did not go to school today. They have not seen their father for several days and miss him very much.
Until their mother Luo Xiyun told the two sisters that they could let them see their father tonight.
The two sisters remembered this matter. They didn't sleep at all tonight and stayed with their mother all the time, insisting on seeing what their father was doing on the tablet.
