Chapter 1182 The world-famous gorilla(1/2)
The financing party ends, and the next step is the bargaining stage.
Of course, for capital institutions, this is a bargaining stage, but for remote Weibo, money is really not the most important one.
Li Dong had been struggling for a while before and said that it was entirely for money, so it was definitely inaccurate.
In fact, before these institutions came, there were roughly goals in the distance.
The purpose of the second round of financing is to open up the international market. As long as the money is enough, it is enough for the second round of expansion. Li Dong is not prepared to cash out dividends at this time.
Since in order to open up the international market, some small institutions are naturally not considering it from afar.
On the 30th, among the many quotation institutions, Li Dong personally selected several.
Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley in the United States are both listed, while Sequoia and IDC have priority, which is also listed.
Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank and Solomon USBank were also included in the list.
On the State-owned Assets side, Li Dong considered repeatedly and would include Bank of China. If there was no state-owned assets at all, it would be easy to be attacked.
At this point, these eight institutions have become the main investment institutions for the second round of financing.
In addition, Li Dong hesitated for a long time and finally included Nomura Securities.
In order to open up the Japanese market in the future, Li Dong had to make a choice. Now he rejects Japanese capital. With the urinary nature of the islanders, it may be more difficult to enter Japan from afar.
The total financing amount of 9 institutions is as high as US$600 million.
The new capital was 50 million shares, accounting for 19.23% of the shares.
After financing, Weibo's valuation hit a new high, exceeding US$3 billion, reaching a total valuation of US$3.12 billion!
For Li Dong, personally, excluding option shares, the total share capital is 260 million shares, and Li Dong owns 160 million shares.
Individuals hold 61.54% of the shares, and these shares are worth US$1.92 billion based on their current valuations.
At this time, the US dollar exchange rate was a little above 6.8, which was converted into RMB, which was about 13 billion.
...
On November 1, major institutions and Weibo officially signed an agreement, and both parties held a press conference together.
As soon as the news came out, it shocked the country and the world!
Weibo has been online for more than a year and its valuation is as high as more than US$3 billion!
Li Dong personally attracted 13 billion yuan in Weibo projects.
As for how much Li Dong has invested, the outside world speculates that it is around 500 million, and even if it is a little higher, it will not exceed 1 billion.
In other words, Li Dong spent more than a year and made more than 12 billion yuan on Weibo projects alone!
It was still the financial crisis, and the wealth of other rich people was shrinking, but Li Dong's wealth grew in an astonishing way.
The outside world speculates that Li Dong’s personal wealth may have reached 100 billion yuan.
When the Hurun list was released before, Weibo accounted for not much, and Li Dong's wealth was seriously underestimated.
After all, people like Hurun are not capital institutions, and some of the valuations they gave are not very accurate.
No one expected that Weibo would exceed 3 billion US dollars after the second round of financing. You know, most of the year ago, Weibo's valuation was only less than 1.5 billion US dollars.
In more than half a year, the growth rate is nearly doubled, which is simply unimaginable!
Since Weibo is worth so much money, what about the far-far mall?
Where is pp?
Where is Wankaton?
There are other industries, how much should they be worth?
pp, Wankatong, and other industries of Yuanfang Technology, together with it, are more than enough to count on it, and it is more than enough to be a Weibo post.
Even if it's $3 billion, that's incredible.
Yuanfang Technology has almost no debt because the money is relocated from other industries, and the debt is also accounted for other industries.
Weibo Li Dong owns nearly US$2 billion in personal stocks, and with other things in Yuanfang Technology, the total value is around US$5 billion.
Supermarkets and malls also did statistics when they exchanged stocks with Longhua before.
The total assets are about 60 billion yuan, and the net assets are close to 40 billion yuan.
Longhua's stock exchange is nothing. The value is offset, and Sun Tao's shareholding ratio is very low, about 1 billion yuan.
Li Dong's personal capital is once again worth 39 billion yuan, plus the previous 5 billion US dollars, which is more than 73 billion yuan.
In addition to these, there are many industries in the distance.
Among these three companies, Yuanfang Logistics, Dongyu Real Estate, Yuanfang Airlines has 0 debts, but has just allocated 2 billion yuan, which does not count as any appreciation, which is also 2 billion yuan.
No matter how high the debt of Yuanfang Logistics and Dongyu Real Estate is, there are still more than 30 billion yuan.
After careful calculation, Li Dong’s personal wealth has reached more than 100 billion!
How long has it been since the Hurun List been released?
Hurun Studio did underestimate Li Dong before, and the 78 billion he gave was not trustworthy.
The China Forbes Rich List, which was originally planned to be launched on October 30, hurriedly changed the release time.
Just when the outside world was talking, on November 1, the Forbes China Rich List was released.
Li Dong once again topped the list and was recognized as the first in both lists!
In the past, Forbes and Hurun’s list often reversed, and many of the richest people on Hurun’s list sometimes couldn’t make it into the top ten on Forbes list.
This time, the two sides finally agreed on it.
Li Dong is a true number one, and Forbes made timely changes.
When the list was released, Li Dong's personal net worth was 108 billion, which was 30 billion higher than the Hurun list a month ago!
In the past, Forbes China List liked to significantly reduce the wealth of the wealth of the Hurun List.
But this time, Li Dong became an exception, and his wealth soared.
On the contrary, Lao Huang, whose net worth was as high as 40 billion, fell a lot during this count, and his ranking fell to third place, with a net worth of only more than 18 billion points, which is a huge difference.
The second-ranked feed king Liu Yongxin, who was previously ranked on the Hurun list, has a net worth of over 20 billion yuan.
Someone calculated that from Li Dong to the second place, it was equivalent to Li Dong’s total wealth.
Many people can hardly imagine that Li Dong, who just entered the top ten last year, would have made such a leap this year.
It is not enough to be ranked first, personal wealth is actually equivalent to the total wealth of 7 people in the top ten!
108 billion yuan, which is about 16 billion yuan in US dollars.
According to the Forbes Global Rich Ranking released in March 2008, Li Dongneng ranked around 40.
The former richest Chinese and richest man in Xiangjiang, Lao Li, was ranked 11 in the world at that time, with a personal wealth of US$26.5 billion.
Li Dong, it seems that he is not too far away from him.
With this guy's wealth growth rate, can you prepare to challenge Lao Li's status next year, or simply challenge the status of the top ten richest people in the world?
With the release of the list, Li Dong has also become Forbes' youngest self-made rich man.
In fact, Li Dong was the one as early as March.
Although he was not as famous as he is now and had not ranked as the richest man in China, he was also on the list with a net worth of US$5 billion.
However, at that time, the one who paid the most attention to Li Dong was not Li, but Zuckerberg, the founder of Faebook.
Because Li Dong's fame was limited to being in China at that time, while Zuckerberg was already famous at home and abroad. The 23-year-old Li Dong did not receive much attention. Instead, the 24-year-old Zuckerberg gained more attention than Li Dong with his net worth of US$2 billion.
Of course, that was before.
Later, with Li Dong's acquisition of all Carrefour China businesses, Weibo's first round of financing, Weibo's international version was launched, and this second round of financing, it surpassed Zuckerberg's fame.
Chinese entrepreneurs have more advantages in becoming famous internationally.
Otherwise, no matter how much wealth is, foreigners generally don’t care too much.
The one who is most famous at the moment is not his supermarket, Wankatong, or anything else, but Weibo, the social networking website.
Zuckerberg, who also works as a social networking website, is often pulled out to compare with Li Dong at this time.
The two are very similar, both of them are young, one is 23 and the other is 24.
Both are billionaires who started from scratch!
Both of them are famous for their social networking sites!
Of course, there is another point that these two young and inconspicuous rich people are both bachelors.
Although there are rumors that both of them have girlfriends, having girlfriends and getting married is not the same concept. Two unmarried young rich people instantly became the two largest diamond fives in the world.
Relatively speaking, Li Dong is more famous at this moment, after all, his personal wealth is 8 times greater than Zuckerberg.
In terms of influence, after the Weibo International Edition was launched, Li Dong's fame was no less than anyone else.
Moreover, Li Dong has a large number of industrial industries in China. There is no doubt that Li Dong is the richest, most glorious and most accomplished young man in the world at this moment.
