Chapter 1752 Preparations for Listing in Hong Kong

Wendy Goldberg originally thought that Li Mu would give herself a chance to meet him more or less, but unexpectedly, Li Mu directly asked the front desk to reply that she was not free.

No time, is the most direct rejection.

Because if you just don't want to see yourself, but you don't want to tear your face, you can say that he is not there, not that he is not free.

However, Wendy Goldberg felt that she really couldn't give up on it. Ever since the family invited Li Mu to participate in the salon, the Goldberg family had wholeheartedly hoped to get closer to Li Mu, not only treating him as a guest of honor, but also to cater to him. After giving him a Premier League club, even himself was already ready to dedicate himself, but Li Mu never gave himself such a chance.

Now, when Li Mu said she turned her face, she turned her face and kicked the Goldberg family out of the car. This was an unacceptable situation for the whole family, so she now carried the last hope of the whole family.

So she stubbornly said to the front desk, "please tell Mr. Li Mu, I will always wait for him here."

The front desk had no choice but to report to Li Ziwei.

When Li Mu heard Wendy Goldberg's statement, he immediately said, "Tell the front desk, let her go, don't worry about her."

Then, Wendy Goldberg became air in the eyes of the front desk of Makino Technology.

No one paid any attention to her, but she couldn't get in if she wanted to. Wendy Goldberg decided to spend it here to see if Li Mu would meet her.

While she was spending time in the lobby, Li Mu had gathered the senior management of Muye Technology and announced to everyone that he was interested in transferring to Hong Kong for listing.

There was a lot of trouble on Wall Street, and I had heard of it in China, so everyone was very supportive of Li Mu's decision.

Going for listing in Hong Kong or listing in the United States, from a normal business point of view, depends on the level of listing conditions, but now the situation has changed, American capitalists are basically a whole, not only venture capital, funds and securities firms, but even the media They are all in the hands of this group of people, and they are in the company of this group of people. On the one hand, they are seeking skin with tigers, and on the other hand, they are also crossing the river with raptors.

However, since you are interested in transferring to Hong Kong for listing, you must first cooperate with a securities company with underwriting qualifications in Hong Kong.

At present, the largest securities company in Hong Kong is HSBC, followed by Hua Guo Bank Securities, the former is a multinational company controlled by the Goldberg family, and the latter is a state-owned enterprise established by Hua Guo Bank in Hong Kong.

After 1997, Huaguo Bank began to vigorously develop the securities business in Hong Kong. After more than ten years of hard work, it has a very deep foundation. In addition, it has a state-owned background as an endorsement. Even if the market share is not as large as that of HSBC, when it comes to the capital structure In terms of volume and capital potential, it is not weaker than HSBC at all.

Therefore, Li Mu decided to have a good chat with Huaguo Bank Securities to see what listing conditions can be obtained for Muye Technology. If it is suitable, the Hong Kong IPO can be launched in the second half of the year.

Afterwards, Li Ziwei, on behalf of Makino Technology, officially initiated a meeting invitation to Huaguo Bank Securities. During the invitation, Li Ziwei clearly stated the purpose of the meeting, which was to communicate the related matters of Makino Technology's planned IPO in Hong Kong.

When Huaguo Bank Securities received the business letter from Muye Technology, the first thought thought it was a prank. When it was confirmed that the business letter was indeed officially issued by Muye Technology, the executives of Huaguo Bank Securities were in an uproar.

The whole world knows that Li Mu scolded Wall Street on Weibo and Twitter, and many people even believed that the reputation of Wall Street for a century was destroyed by Li Mu.

However, everyone does not know that Li Mu has given up the idea of ​​going public in the United States.

After all, Li Mu went to the United States this time to attend Google's bell ringing ceremony. Everyone thinks that Google's successful listing on Nasdaq is the bridgehead for Makino Technology's listing on Nasdaq. In the second half of the year, Makino Technology should be listed on Nasdaq. Daq, the Internet company with the highest market capitalization on Nasdaq.

No one expected that Li Mu would actually start considering listing in Hong Kong.

This also means,

Li Mu has subjectively decided to give up Nasdaq.

Huaguo Bank Securities immediately organized a negotiating team of the highest standard from the Yanjing headquarters, and came to Muye Technology first in the afternoon, preparing to conduct the first round of interviews with Li Mu.

Wendy Goldberg spent most of the day at the front desk of Muye Technology. Except for drinking a few glasses of pure water, she didn't eat anything. After cooking for so long, her whole body already felt a little low blood sugar, but Li Mu still didn't want to. See yourself.

While Wendy Goldberg was hesitating whether to go back temporarily, seven or eight men in formal suits hurriedly entered the lobby on the first floor of Makino Technology.

Li Ziwei came out to greet her in person, shook hands with the middle-aged man headed by the other party, and said, "Mr. Chen, welcome, Mr. Li is already waiting in the conference room."

The middle-aged man known as President Chen, whose full name is Chen Tao, is the person in charge of the securities business of Hua Guo Bank, and the securities business of Hua Guo Bank in Hong Kong is also under his jurisdiction.

Chen Tao couldn't hide his excitement and said: "We immediately started to set up a professional team after receiving the business letter from your company and rushed over. The team members are being selected in Hong Kong, and they will arrive in Yanjing tomorrow. Hong Kong, so I am more familiar with the business details in Hong Kong.”

Li Ziwei nodded and said, "Then let's go up now."

"it is good!"

For Huaguo Bank Securities, Makino Technology is interested in finding them to do a Hong Kong IPO, which is like a pie in the sky.

Before this, no one had doubted that the listing channel of a company like Makino Technology must be going to the United States for listing. After all, the United States is still the center of world capital at this stage.

But now, the United States "fouled" Li Mu directly with the American capitalists, and this big fruit fell on his head. If Huaguo Bank Securities can seize this opportunity, then it is very likely that with the IPO of Muye Technology, it will be a huge success. It has become the largest securities company in Hong Kong.

...

When Wendy Goldberg saw Li Ziwei, she wanted to go up and say hello to her immediately, and by the way, let Li Mu move a little bit of pity.

However, before he got there, he heard the conversation between Chen Tao and Li Ziwei.

Wendy Goldberg's Chinese is very good, so I heard almost every word of the conversation between the two just now.

The content of the conversation between the two shocked Wendy Goldberg. Although there was no IPO in the content of the conversation between the two, she immediately thought about whether Li Mu had already started preparing for the Hong Kong IPO when they mentioned Hong Kong. already?

Realizing that it was at stake, she hurriedly pulled out her phone and called her father, Devinson Goldberg.

Devinson Goldberg was still waiting for news of his daughter. Since he was closed by Li Mu, the only thing he could hope for was that his daughter, who was studying in Yanjing, could meet Li Mu.

However, after waiting for several hours, Wendy Goldberg was unable to meet Li Mu.

This also made him more and more worried and more hopeless.

Suddenly receiving a call from Wendy Goldberg, he immediately answered and asked, "Wendy, how is the situation now? Have you seen Li Mu?"

"No." Wendy Goldberg said urgently, "Li Mu has always been reluctant to see me."

After speaking, she said again: "I called because there is an important matter. It seems that Makino Technology has already started the IPO in Hong Kong. If I guessed correctly, Hong Kong's securities companies have come to the door."

"So fast?!" Devinson Goldberg's heart tightened and he blurted out, "Do you know which brokerage it is?"

After he finished speaking, he mocked himself and said, "It must be Huaguo Bank Securities, which has the ability to do such a large-scale IPO of Makino Technology in Hong Kong. Except for us, other securities companies can't do it at all."

Wendy Goldberg couldn't help but ask: "Dad, what should I do now? Li Mu is one of those people. If he really decides to IPO in Hong Kong, it's basically impossible to change his mind."

Devinson Goldberg said angrily: "Li Mu will definitely not slap his face, it is a sure thing to go public in Hong Kong, I have to go to China!"

Wendy Goldberg said, "Dad, Li Mu may not be willing to see you when you come here. It's probably a waste of time."

Devinson said: "Don't worry about this, Li Mu's IPO in Hong Kong, we still have the best hope, even if it is underwritten with Huaguo Bank Securities, there is no problem. If we don't fight for it, we will really be excluded!"

At this moment, Devinson almost hated his colleagues on Wall Street.

If they hadn't asked themselves to mediate with Li Mu, how could they have offended Li Mu?

If I hadn't called Li Mu at that time, and if I had not spoken for those colleagues, even if Li Mu was disappointed in Wall Street and went to Hong Kong to go public, his relationship with him would not have been greatly affected. Is it the same?

It's alright now, damn it, for the greedy guys on Wall Street, I suddenly lost what might be the biggest deal in my life!

...

In the conference room, Li Mu met the Huaguo Bank securities team headed by Chen Tao.

After the core team members from both sides shook hands one by one, Li Mu sat at the head of the conference room, with Chen Tao's team on the left and his own team on the right.

Li Mu got straight to the point and said: "Mr. Chen, the main purpose of sending a business letter to your company is to be interested in cooperating with your company to facilitate the IPO of Muye Technology in Hong Kong. Before I talk about it, I have a few important questions that need to be addressed to you. you ask."

Chen Tao said: "Mr. Li is very polite, please speak."

Li Mu nodded and said, "First of all, I want to start the roadshow in July, and strive to be listed around October. Is there any problem with this timing?"

"This is no problem." Chen Tao said: "There is still half a year, enough for us to operate."

Li Mu asked again: "If my goal is to have a minimum valuation of not less than 450 billion US dollars, that is, not less than 3.6 trillion Hong Kong dollars, do you think it can be achieved?"

Chen Tao said: "I thought about this issue before I came here. To be honest, Muye Technology is a leading company in our domestic Internet and a leading company in the global Internet. The market value of 450 billion US dollars is not high. After all, during the Internet bubble period, many Companies have reached a height of more than $500 billion in market capitalization.”

Li Mu continued to ask: "I will take up to 10% of the shares for the IPO, that is to say, at least 45 billion US dollars will be raised for Muye Technology, and the IPO of 45 billion US dollars, do you think your company is competent?"

Chen Tao said seriously: "Huayin Securities has not done such a large-scale IPO, but we are very optimistic about the prospects of Muye Technology, and the market is also optimistic about the prospects of Muye Technology, so I believe that 45 billion US dollars should not be a problem. "

"Okay." Li Mu said with a smile, "The last question."

"If I ask for this $45 billion and it doesn't get into Wall Street's pocket, is there any way your company can do it?"
