On May 22, 2014, JD.com went public on Nasdaq.
Following Internet companies such as Jumei Youpin and Dangdang, another listed company in the United States.
At this time, the word "listing" has extremely sacred meaning for many people who are serious in business.
Even the people who accompanied him to ring the bell felt extremely glorious.
Calculated based on the issue price of the $19 stock, JD.com's public offering is expected to raise US$1.78 billion, with a market value of approximately US$26.22 billion, making it the third largest Internet listed company in my country after Tencent and Baidu.
It makes people think a lot about Alibaba, which is preparing to go public, and estimate what kind of value its market value will eventually reach.
On September 9, 2014, Alibaba's first roadshow before its listing was held at the most prestigious Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York.
Countless Wall Street investors lined up at the door. In order to see Lao Ma's true appearance, the opening video of just 7 minutes ignited the audience.
Lao Ma was very moved. When he started his business 15 years ago, he went to New York to raise funds alone. No one believed him, and investors were not friendly to him and regarded him as a liar.
"This time I came to New York, I just wanted to get more money back." Lao Ma joked.
This passage was quickly added to the country and turned into another version.
It’s the classic saying: “Today you ignore me, and tomorrow I will make you unable to reach the top!”
Although Lao Ma repeatedly denied that he had never said such words, ordinary people like to hear such stories of losers' counterattacks.
He likes little people and is looked down upon by others, and eventually becomes a big shot, and slapped the people who looked down on him at the time.
Because most people are small people, they often fantasize that they will be able to turn over one day.
...
American investors looked at Alibaba's financial report and chased his stock price frantically.
But this kind of fanaticism is only in the investment circle.
At that time, the media and the masses in the United States still sneered at this Internet company from China.
"Zhao Situ Xiu" specially created a program about Alibaba's listing.
Uncle Jiong complained on the show: "Alibaba's listing sounds exciting, which means that China's economy is taking off. I think there is only one question left in Americans: What is Alibaba?"
Then he said: "It has no products, it just connects merchants and users, and it is a purely nonsense business."
Then he saw Alibaba's profit soaring by 179% in the second quarter to $2 billion, and its revenue increased by 46%, twice that of the US online retailer Amazon. He couldn't sit still and said he wanted to buy some Alibaba's stock.
Then he complained: "Actually you can't buy Alibaba's stocks. All you buy is the stock of Alibaba Group Holdings Co., Ltd. registered in the Cayman Islands."
Therefore, Uncle Jiong concluded that they had no actual products, their IPO was extremely inflated, and they went to the United States to go public just to escape the supervision of their motherland through the loopholes in the Cayman Islands...
As a result, Alibaba's stock price rose. Uncle Jiong cried and said, "Do you understand what this means?"
“The Communist Party defeated us in terms of capitalism!”

At this time, there are still a few days left before Alibaba will go public.
Luo Xiu also received a call from Ali, inviting him to go to New York with him.
Pinru has long been the largest business in the Alibaba system, and Luo Xiu himself started his business through Alibaba and dug out his first pot of gold, which led to his later glory.
On such an important day for Alibaba to go public, it is natural to send an invitation to Luo Xiu.
"Will Lao Ma bring you to ring the bell?" Guan Shiyu asked curiously.
Luo Xiu sat on the sofa in the living room, holding his girlfriend Yingying's small waist, putting her hands on her soft belly, pillowing her chin on her shoulders, and breathing in her sensitive ears and saying:
"From my understanding of them, I shouldn't have brought me to ring the bell. At most, I just asked me to help them stand and told other businesses, "Look, I'm just making a lot of money now," said the company.
They prefer to create stories of small people, bell ringing rituals, and they also like to let some grassroots people come to power.
Use this to promote the company's values.
Guan Shiyu raised her mouth with dissatisfaction, "So stingy, we won't go."
"After all, this is a major event in my country's Internet industry, so it's good to witness it."
Luo Xiu smiled and continued, "It may not take long to ring the bell. It's better to take this opportunity to learn the relevant procedures and etiquette so as not to make jokes."
Guan Shiyu turned around, hooked his neck with her hands, looked at his eyes, and said with a smile: "I was married some time ago, why didn't you learn the marriage process and etiquette?"
Luo Xiu thought to himself, is this a hint that I am going to get married?
"What is the reference value for your roommate's wedding? We need to refer to it, and also refer to the weddings of those who match our identities."
Luo Xiu immediately changed the topic and said, "Wedding, someone will definitely lead us away at that time, and we don't need to worry about the process and etiquette. Why not review how to bridal chamber a few more times?"
After saying that, he kissed Guan Shiyu's little mouth.
My hands also began to become unhonest, and I reached into my loose home clothes, wandering on my silky smooth skin.
After a while, Guan Shiyu's clothes were huddled in Luo Xiu's arms, panting and said, "What kind of bridal chamber... You still have to review it. Are you not familiar enough?"
"The Master said: Review the old and learn the new." Luo Xiu said with a smile: "Review the postures you have learned in the past... No, you can gain new insights from the knowledge you have learned in the past. The words of the saints are still very reasonable. It is better to read it at night tonight and review the postures you have learned in the past... I said it wrong again, it is knowledge."
"Puchi, you're talking nonsense again. Be careful that Confucius asked you to settle the score with a dream tonight."
Now there are only two of them at home, and Guan Shiyu is used to hearing the dirty words that Luo Xiu was not like, so she is not that shy.
"The Master said: Do not look at what is wrong, do not listen to what is wrong, do not speak what is wrong, do not move what is wrong. Let's learn new knowledge together tonight. Confucius is a person who talks about etiquette, so why are you embarrassed to come to me at this time?"
After Luo Xiu finished speaking, he picked up Guan Shiyu and walked towards the bedroom, saying with a righteous look on his face: "Let's not waste time, hurry up and review it!"
After saying that, he threw the person on the soft big bed.
He also quickly took off his clothes, climbed onto the bed and hugged his fragrant body.
That night, the sound of reading echoed in the room for a long time.
The moon outside the window was hiding half of its face in the clouds, and seemed to be unable to bear to disturb the pair of students studying hard.
