Digital Kingdom

There is still a dream, what if it is realized?

On February 17, Brilliant Group launched a two-week roadshow that spanned multiple cities. The first roadshow was held at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York. "Stunned", nearly a thousand people poured into the venue, and there were long queues at the elevator entrance.

Kangluny, who studied in New York and worked at a local content provider called Wall Street Multimedia, told reporters that since Brilliant launched its listing in the United States last year, it has attracted the attention of American investors and the media in six months, and its exposure has been extremely high. The rate allowed this Chinese Internet company to be gradually recognized by more and more Americans. Everyone knows that it is the production company of the "Jianghu" game. This is a very good company.

On February 20th, Brilliant originally expected about 500 investors to participate in the roadshow in Washington DC, but in the end the number of participants reached about 800. Some people were squeezed into the conference room. A Wall Street fund manager said that he would invest in New York. More than a decade, there have been many IPOs, but they are still shocked. Everyone is full of expectations for Brilliant Group that will knock on the door of the NYSE.

Like him, there are many Americans who are optimistic about Brilliance and want to invest in this Chinese Internet company. Many people said: "If the company goes public, I will buy his stock."

Hickman Hickman, general manager of hedge funds: Brilliant is still in the initial stage of growth, and I believe it will grow into a very large international company.For investors, the most important thing about Brilliance is its diversification and vertical integration, which many companies do not have, and one of the reasons for its extremely successful. I believe it will continue to grow at an alarming rate.It will become one of the most successful IPOs and companies in 50 years.

On February 23, the sky over New York was filled with a brilliant atmosphere. This listing attracted the attention of nearly 100 media from around the world. This may also set the record for the largest number of media coverage of Chinese companies' listing.A local tour guide in New York said that he has won a very high rate of return at the airport these days because of holding the pick-up card from the brilliant company.

In view of the market's enthusiasm for the company, it is expected that the stock of Brilliant Group will be in short supply after listing, and the price on the first day of opening is more likely to deviate from the reasonable valuation range.Assuming that 13 US dollars per share is a reasonable valuation, the possibility that the stock price will rise sharply above 18 US dollars that day is entirely possible.

On February 27, in Times Square, New York, a huge digital screen appeared on the screen of "Brilliant Group, we are here for you, March 1st". The eye-catching red screen succinctly left a meaningful sentence. , Attracted many on-site visitors to stop and watch.

It is understood that the behind-the-scenes ambassador who shows love to the brilliant company is the second-ranked trade union in the world in the "Jiang Hu" game and the first in North America to establish a player nation-Deep Blue Ocean. Its fanaticism is shocking.

As a concentration camp for hardcore players, Deep Blue Ocean has played a vital role in the promotion of "Jianghu" in North America and even Europe. Countless fans have turned to tap water and recommended this Chinese style game to those around them.

This time the company went public, it cost a lot of money to buy advertising space just to express love, and hope that the company after the listing can not forget its original intention and continue to move forward.

On February 28, as night fell in New York, the New York Stock Exchange, which had just concluded daytime trading, began a large-scale refurbishment-the brilliant group red logo (the "Jianghu" game favorite and the company logo background color) Greet the upcoming climax.

A long-term observer said that the New York Stock Exchange's welcome to Brilliant Company is very high.As of 8 pm on the 28th, New York time (8 am on March 1st, Beijing time), the three large LCD screens on the clock of the New York Stock Exchange have been replaced with a picture of the brilliant company logo, which will be knocked here later The opening bell rings.

In addition to these three screens, the publicity screens inside and outside the trading floor of the NYSE are basically showing related advertisements of Brilliant Group, "Tianmo" engine, blockchain·Dragoncoin, fun chat, fun video...

The rich and colorful is naturally the "Jianghu" game that dominates the world, overwhelms all quarters, and is invincible. Whether it is the computer version or the VR version, it brings players an incoherent experience, and the oppressive peers breathe.Even if you are not a player, you vaguely know that there is an Eastern game that has overwhelmed the entire Western world in the past two years.

Using it as a background advertisement will naturally get twice the result with half the effort and a natural sense of picture.

In addition, the trading desks in the lobby of the New York Stock Exchange are also affixed with a red "Jiang Hu" game pattern.In the past, such treatment was only occasionally seen when major IPOs were in progress.

According to reports, the trading desk filled with brilliant logos will be another important place in the company's listing process. Here, Tang Fuqing will go through the process of inquiries and other processes with the traders of the brilliant company, and finally press the transaction button.

Because this brilliant "family and friends group" and the media interview team are huge, the brilliant ringing of the bell requires three venues to arrange everyone. These three venues include the trading hall, the viewing balcony and the live broadcast hall.

On March 1, the headquarters of Brilliant Company, Putuo District, Shanghai.

On the eve of the listing, the entire company was filled with a cheerful atmosphere, with countless handsome men and beauties traveling among them, and everyone was in high spirits, such as drinking wine and smoking!

On this day, all employees of Brilliant Global, including Shanghai, Singapore, Silicon Valley and other branches put on the same special T-shirt to commemorate this special day.

The Group Building has specially arranged a venue that simulates the New York Stock Exchange, which is convenient for connecting with New York at all times. The large conference room interviewed by the company headquarters was marked with a sentence, "Let's suffocate our dreams"

I can't help myself when I hear it.

In the waiting gap, the legendary stories of brilliant employees, game players, and industry stakeholders are constantly playing on the huge screen, which is warm, exciting, legendary, or cordial...

Among them, there are Vietnamese Axiong who earned tens of millions of fortunes through the game "Jiang Hu", there are also Cheng Bingbing, who is envied by countless people for good luck, and the inspirational story of Uncle Wudang-led by the 60-year-old village party secretary The village gets rid of poverty through games...

Many celebrities in the business world have also presented their views on Zhao Ziming. The more consistent impression is: "Have an idea, have a foresight, and have a plan for ten years or more in their mind, and follow the idea carefully to do it. In the end, it can really be realized. ."

In addition to these tidbits, the listing process was also broadcast live on the big screen. From time to time, there were street visits to Americans to ask everyone about their views on the brilliant listing.

Fabio Doti, the owner of the New York salon, is a handsome and sunny guy. He told reporters that he learned about Brilliant Company when he was in college. It is a very famous Chinese company. The money for the upcoming wedding trip will be earned from the listing of the company.

Retired engineer Bob Lewis said that the opening price of Brilliant is very high, but he will also buy several thousand shares;

Peter Garnry, head of equity strategy at Saxo Bank: Brilliant Company gave an attractive valuation during the roadshow, and I believe the stock will be popular.

A fund representative: I think that Brilliant’s listing will be very successful, and I am very optimistic about the price. Investors are most concerned about the company’s sustainable development, whether its so-called ecosystem can maintain a competitive advantage, and its future development strategy abroad M&A target.

Vince Rivers, Senior Portfolio Manager at JOHambro: In the long run, I think this company will be the winner.I would not be surprised that the issue price of stocks has risen.

...

The whole process was praised, and it almost made people doubt whether it was the procrastination. However, the truth is indeed the case. PE such as this low makes many people believe that the glorious future is brilliant.

At 8:30 in the evening, the Shanghai headquarters interacted with Tang Fuqing and other executives and bell ringing representatives through the transoceanic connection, sharing joy with domestic netizens.

Zhao Ziming expressed his gratitude to followers around the world through the airwaves, saying, "Today is a very milestone day, thank you everyone, customers, shareholders, players...

"Without your support, there would be no brilliance today. Listing is just the beginning of the company. The road to brilliant games has just started. In the future, we will bring you more exciting works. I believe there will be more brilliant works and Tang Fuqing. magical."

In his excitement, Zhao Ziming even repeated it once in particular, "The brilliance has just begun, and I have full confidence in them."

When asked by the media about the company’s valuation, Zhao Ziming answered:

"Considering that the profitability of the Brilliant Group exceeds that of the Goose Group, the market generally expects that the reasonable valuation of the Brilliant Group should be at least close to the current valuation of the Goose Group, which is about 200 billion US dollars. According to this calculation, the current listing price ceiling is about lower than the reasonable valuation. 40%, the reasonable price of Brilliant should be around US$20."

Of course, the price on the first day of listing is affected by many factors, especially the opening price, which is mainly determined by the short-term supply and demand relationship of the participating parties. At this moment, even Zhao Ziming can do nothing.Can only wait-accept...

The issue price is US$13 per share. Brilliant Company has traded 800 million shares, involving a value of US$10.4 billion, with the stock code HH.

After listing, the total market value of Brilliant Group will reach 130 billion U.S. dollars, making it the third largest company among Chinese Internet companies by market value, after Ali and Tencent.

In the market value list of Chinese companies, Brilliant Group ranks fifth after China Mobile, China National Petroleum Corporation, and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. It has been sprinting for trillions of empire Evergrande Real Estate and Wanda Group, and has also been left far behind.

This also heralds a major change in the domestic economic structure. The dominance of traditional industries over wealth and the economy is completely shaken, and the power of the Internet is rising and prospering.

According to the 2016 GDP rankings of countries in the world published by the International Monetary Fund, the total market value of Brilliant Group ranks 56th among Kazakhstan (133.6 billion U.S. dollars) and 57th Hungary (124.3 billion U.S. dollars). The wealth can rival more than 100 countries in the world.

A truly rich and adversary country, a veritable "brilliant country"

In the "Glory Country", Zhao Ziming holds more than 75% of the shares and his shares are valued at US$95 billion. Together with his holdings of company assets such as Golden Dragon Digital and Magic Feiyue, his personal wealth will exceed US$120 billion, making him the new richest man in China. .

Each round of listing is a new wealth creation myth. The brilliant company is especially exaggerated. In addition to Zhao Ziming himself, the group's more than 30 partners and executives have a combined net worth of more than 25 billion US dollars. Shanghai has more than 30 billionaires overnight. , There are countless billionaires.When stock prices rise, their wealth may continue to rise.

In addition to partners and executives, Brilliant Group currently holds 1.7% of shares by employees, partners, and game players.Assuming that 50% of Brilliant's 1,000 employees receive equity incentives, there are a total of about 500 people who own equity, with an average of over US$2.9 million per person, and countless millionaires have been created.

It is said that Shanghai’s marriage and love market has also suffered a huge impact. The company’s job number once surpassed the local account number and became the primary factor considered by many single men and women. The popularity is second only to the remaining gold-collared men and women with an annual salary of 10 million. The second generation of demolished houses is even stronger. This is a potential stock that has already been realized and it is worthy of heavy storage.

Compared with other Internet companies, the brilliance that women account for 40% of the total number of employees is a "heterogeneous". Nine of the 32 executives are women, occupying 13 seats, which is much higher than the proportion of women among the executives of companies such as Google and Tencent. .

Although the number of shares held by partners other than Zhao Ziming and Tang Fuqing has not been announced in the listing prospectus, as the company goes public, these Zhao Ziming's capable female leaders will become billionaire women, and there is little suspense.

Among them, the most powerful woman is known as the most powerful woman in the southeast business district, Zhao Ziming's scandal lover, Shen Yiyi, the current executive vice president of Digital Group, concurrently the chief talent officer, No. 7 of the wealthy female rankings.

The flexible and soft management style has played a key role in the establishment of a brilliant company culture. In the face of a series of disturbances such as the Goose Dragon Battle, Golden Dragon Loan Financing, and Chu Wensheng’s job hopping, she has demonstrated a high degree of execution and is considered by many in the industry to be the most effective May take over as CEO.

Beijing time, 9:30.

The representatives of ringing the bell were eight customers of Brilliant Group. Axiong, Cheng Bingbing, Uncle Wudang...Tang Fuqing and other senior management team sat down to watch the bell ringing ceremony.

"10, 9, 8..."

Countless people are counting down, cheering from East to West, from Asia to America, from Shanghai to New York, resounding throughout the letter, the hearts of hundreds of millions of people are beating at the same time.

Convergence of tension, suffocation, fanaticism;

Passion, desire, and hormones are flying.

This is a feast of wealth and a hotbed of power. Miracles are born here and dreams are illuminated here. It is destined to be remembered by history and become eternal in an instant!

"...3, 2, 1."

The carnival sounds one after another, endless, and finally gathered into a sea of ​​joy.

On the morning of the 1st, local time in the United States, the Chinese Internet giant, "Jianghu" production company, and the world's game industry leader, Brilliant Group sounded the opening bell and landed on the New York Stock Exchange.
