Chapter 170: Chapter 170: Xiangjiang goes public(2/2)
"Haha, this is not necessarily true. We have been discussing it for more than a month and have only made a few small functions..."
"..."
After spending an afternoon visiting Penguin, in the evening Pony immediately summoned the company's mid- to high-level employees and had a dinner party at a hotel in Futian District.
The next day.
June 16, 2004.
It's about six o'clock in the morning.
Xu Ning and Ma Huateng took a car to Xiangjiang with a dozen of Penguin's top executives, as well as shareholder representatives from South Africa.
There were twenty employees accompanying him.
At 8 o'clock in the morning, the car arrived at the parking lot near the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and Penguin employees who had been waiting there immediately stepped forward to greet it.
Pony Ma got off the bus first, followed by Xu Ning, a representative of the South African newspaper industry. Everyone wore crisp black suits and headed to the trading floor.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the exchange, the media swarmed in and pointed their microphones at Xu Ning.
"Xu Ning, I heard that you are Penguin's largest individual shareholder. Is this true?"
"Are you confident about Penguin's future, or are you worried about another dot-com bubble?"
"After today's listing, your net worth will increase several times, and you will soon become a rare billionaire in the entertainment industry. Do you have anything to say about this?"
"..."
He couldn't answer all the various questions, so he could only pick a few and briefly talk about them.
"First of all, thank you all for your questions. Also... our main purpose today is to pay attention to the listing of Penguin. We hope to report more about Penguin. Thank you all."
After finishing speaking,
He walked into the Hong Kong Stock Exchange with Ma Huateng who was waiting aside, and his words and photos just now were sent back to the headquarters by Sina Entertainment reporters.
Less than twenty minutes,
The report about him on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange appeared on the front page of Sina Entertainment, and in less than an hour, it had hundreds of thousands of views.
Just as the time approached 8:40 a.m., several cars suddenly came outside the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
Fang Long, Liu Dehua, Chen Yixun, Hong Jinbao, Zhang Baizhi... and others got out of the car one after another.
Fang Long and Hong Jinbao took the lead. They walked into the hall holding a flower basket. Xu Ning happened to see them.
He immediately greeted him with a smile: "Brother Long, Brother Hong, Brother Hua, Brother Xun, Bai Zhi... why are you here?"
Fang Long patted his arm and said pretending to be angry: "Well, your company is listed in Xiangjiang, and you didn't tell us about such a big thing."
Hong Jinbao laughed and said: "Yes, it's hard for you to come to Xiangjiang. Of course we have to do what we should do as landlords."
"..."
Before Xu Ning came to Xiangjiang, in order not to cause a sensation, he deliberately did not say hello to several friends he was familiar with in Xiangjiang.
Especially Fang Long, according to his character, if he had known about this a long time ago, he would definitely find a way to congratulate himself.
This time they came to congratulate it just before it was launched... It was because Fanglong saw the newspaper early in the morning.
Only then did he call people Xu Ning knew and come over to cheer him up...
It’s hard to say whether Fang Long and others meant to flatter him, but they really brought Xu Ning a lot of face.
After all, this group of people are also big stars in the country, and they are all surrounding him at this moment, with a faint attitude of worshiping the mountain...
Coupled with the publicity of major media, Xu Ning's status, background and wealth have been infinitely magnified.
After the listing bell was ringing in the morning, "heavy revelations" about him had already appeared on unknown small websites on the Internet.
The only son of a mysterious family...
The illegitimate son of a certain consortium boss...
The favorite thing of a certain rich woman...
All kinds of rumors are flying everywhere.
But no matter how it is reported, there are not many fans who truly believe this statement, because they have long known that Xu Ning was born in a rural area.
To be able to grow to where we are today,
It all depends on his own efforts.
Many fans began to leave messages in various comment areas, telling everyone about Xu Ning's true experience.
Many passers-by who didn't know Xu Ning before became fans after learning about his experience.
Who can say no to a star who is handsome, hard-working and talented in film, television, singing, business and music!!
at the same time,
[Era-marking] Under the leadership of the newly recruited general manager, the company contacted a large number of media to publish soft articles.
There are also many actors or singers who are familiar with Xu Ning and have also come forward to continue to speak out for him.
Among them are Jay Chou, Chen Yixun, Jia Jingwen, Hu Jun, Jiang Qinqin, Fan Binger, Liu Yifei...
The direction of the wind was suddenly reversed.
Sina Entertainment, Sohu Entertainment, Baidu... even dedicated an entire section to publishing articles about him.
In addition, the Sprite company he endorsed also took the opportunity to launch new packaging, which attracted a lot of money.
Zhang Yimou, Zhou Xingchi, Fang Long, Cai Yinong and others also took action and arranged the publicity department to promote the new drama.
…
For half a month after his listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, there were reports about him on the Internet, in newspapers, on TV, and on the radio.
During this period of time, no one was more popular than him, not even half as popular.
Until July 3rd,
A heavyweight official media spoke out and concluded the Xu Ning incident. For a while, all major media outlets praised Xu Ning one after another.
The state-run Huaxia Daily rarely published a commentator's article on its front page entitled "Let youth bloom through struggle."
The article states:
"Every generation has its own long march, and each generation has its own mission. The trend of the times is moving forward, and the great cause of national rejuvenation is as important as Mount Tai... The good tradition of eternal struggle of Chinese youth must not be lost at all."
The majestic text at the beginning makes people unable to resist reading it and have to work hard to read it.
The middle of the article,
Xu Ning was used as an example.
Describe in detail how he grew up step by step from a poor rural boy to the idol of countless young people.
"Recently, there have been many reports about Xu Ning... what he reflects is the strong spiritual power of contemporary youth who never admit defeat and have the courage to fight..."
When Xu Ning saw this article, he was indeed shocked... Countless people dream of articles of this level.
He read it twice before he understood the meaning of the article.
In 2004, China was in the initial stage of rapid economic development, and it was in need of young people to participate in the construction.
At this time, Xu Ning appeared in the public eye with his positive image. He counterattacked from a poor boy in the countryside to a big star, and then to a major shareholder of a listed company.
This kind of thing,
So inspiring,
It is very worthy of publicity.
Therefore, this article was written, but the example of this article is not Xu Ning alone, but six strivers in different industries.
But even so, those artists in the entertainment industry are extremely envious... Let me ask, who doesn't want to be recognized by the official media?
But at the same time,
Some bad things happened too.
Thank you all for your monthly ticket support, and thank you for your recommendation ticket support!
