Chapter 1081 (1/2)
”Mr. Qin, this is the founder of Carlyle investment group. Meet Mr. David Rubinstein, chairman of Carlyle investment group. Carlyle plans to invest at least 2 billion US dollars in China in the next few years, mainly in the field of machinery and heavy industry.”
In the ballroom of a hotel in midtown Manhattan.
The time is on the evening of December 19, and the celebration reception of China Telecom's successful listing on NASDAQ is being held here.
Chen Qing introduced David Rubinstein to a senior manager of Telecom. While helping with the translation, Chen Qing patiently accompanied Rubinstein and President Qin to exchange greetings. Chen Qing remembered one thing and asked, ”David, what's the progress of Carlyle in Ukraine?”
David Rubinstein nodded and said, ”I just sent Simon a message this afternoon about it.”
Chen Qingdun next, did not ask more, but intend to ask his boss for documents.
After another chat, Chen Qing and other Rubinstein left and explained to general manager Qin: ”I just asked Carlyle about helping import technology from Ukraine to China. General manager Qin, I hope you don't mind.” then she lowered her voice slightly: ”you know, general manager Qin, the Black Sea shipyard in Ukraine has an aircraft carrier. The state intends to buy it, but there is a lot of resistance. And Carlyle has deep connections in Washington. If they help us, our success rate will be much higher. ”
Mr. Qin, who was really dissatisfied with Chen Qing's English conversation with the American just now, immediately shook his head and lowered his voice subconsciously: ”of course, I don't mind. It's a big deal.”
Chen Qing smiles a little, and then signals not far away: ”Mr. Qin, over there is Mr. Helton, President of Nokia America branch. Let me introduce you.”
”Of course, I happened to know something about the past events between Mr. westero and Motorola recently. China Telecom is about to start a large-scale expansion. In order to thank Mr. westero for his support for this Telecom listing, we will certainly increase cooperation with Nokia and reduce the purchase of Motorola in the future.”
”That's good news. I'll let Simon know as soon as possible. He'll be happy to know.”
After the reception ended, Chen Qingcai and Lin Su returned to their residence in the upper west side.
After a busy day, Chen Qing's mood is still high.
After taking a bath and calculating the time difference, it wasn't nine o'clock on the west coast, so I tried to call my boss. I didn't expect to get through unexpectedly. After a few words, I learned that my boss was at the premiere Party of ”Thunderbolt baby”.
Chen Qing is also concerned about Hollywood. Her boss mentioned it, which reminds me.
Of course, it's just knowing.
Chen Qing doesn't have the energy to pay too much attention now. She confirmed that her boss didn't mean to hang up the phone too soon. So she talked about the general situation of China Telecom's listing today.
Although China Telecom (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd., the predecessor of China Mobile, plans to list in Hong Kong and New York at the same time, the listing time in New York is one day ahead of schedule, and Hong Kong is the next day. Of course, if the time difference is calculated, there is only 12 hours between them. The stall where two people talk is about to open in Hong Kong.
Overall, the IPO was very successful.
With the full support of westero system and due to the good feedback from previous global roadshows, the final issue price of new shares issued by China Telecom on NASDAQ is determined to be US $5.35. According to the calculation of 500 million new shares launched in North America, the amount of financing reaches US $2.675 billion. The financing scale in Hong Kong is equivalent to that in North America.
Converted down, China Telecom's listing, the total amount of financing more than 5.3 billion U.S. dollars.
Although the cornerstone investors, such as the major consortia in Hong Kong and Westeros, who have subscribed for a large number of shares at a discount in advance, actually get less capital, the successful completion of the $5 billion level of financing is absolutely a complete victory.
On the first day of listing in North America, because of being labeled as a westero concept stock, and the recent instagram listing, the technology stock market has just been re stimulated. Even as a concept stock, it is hard to avoid a lot of negative reports, China Telecom's stock rose by 27% on the first day, with a closing market value of 26.9 billion US dollars.
At the beginning, westero company and a group of Hong Kong's capital were the cornerstone investors of China Telecom's backing. They invested US $500 million in advance to buy a large number of stocks. According to the discount of these stocks and today's one-day increase, the book profit was close to 50% in just one day.
Of course, profitability is secondary.
For Simon, a 50% one-day appreciation of US $500 million is just a small sum of money. The key is that the success of the IPO paves the way for further cooperation between the two sides.
In any case, the IPO of China Telecom is much better than the previous situation that the IPO almost failed because of catching up with the financial storm, and even the first day burst tragedy happened later. For the same proportion of stocks, the amount of financing increased by nearly 1 billion US dollars.
Quite a happy ending.
After chatting for a while, Chen Qing talks about Carlyle and Ukraine again. Simon hasn't had time to read the document from David Rubinstein, but he also promised Chen Qing to let girl a transfer it to her.A party at a hotel near the Chinese Grand Theater in Hollywood.
Simon stood in a corner of the hall and talked to Chen Qing on the phone. At last, she said that the team of fashion magazine in China had given a positive reply and said, ”I'll say hello to Semel tomorrow. You can do the rest by yourself Go to China? You know I'm definitely not free this time That's it Well, goodbye. ”
Hang up the phone, Simon a little comb, also did not continue to care.
After all, it's just a part of its many layouts in China. When China Telecom came to the road show, Simon didn't worry about the follow-up.
She handed her cell phone to the girl next to her and just received a glass of champagne from her assistant. A few girls, led by Elizabeth Jagger, Hula around her nearby, which made Kate Beckinsale obviously depressed.
He rubbed the head of the girl who was more and more graceful. Simon pretended to have a pain in the flesh and said, ”every time you have to come to see the premiere like this, there will be a group of people. It's a bit expensive. What can you do?”
Elizabeth was very dissatisfied with Simon's disturbing her hair. She shook her head, shook off his arm and said, ”I'm calling your father. Isn't that enough?”
“……”
Elizabeth's eyes turned and she reached out for Nikki Hilton beside her. ”Nikki, you too. Call dad.”
Nicky Hilton originally looked at the man in front of her with bright eyes. She subconsciously shook her head when she heard the words: ”I'm not.”
Elizabeth is careless: ”I know you like my father, but, you know, men actually like to be called Dad, it will be very exciting.”
Nicky is not a little girl who doesn't know anything. Two blushes suddenly appear on her face, and she glances shyly at Simon.
Simon raised his hand to give Elizabeth a chestnut, looked at the girl eat pain to cover the forehead, said: ”well, I'll let people drive you out again.”
Elizabeth immediately drew back her small expression and looked insincere. She asked, ”Dad, do you have any plans for the weekend?”
”Yes, work, and it's not your turn to have no arrangement,” Simon said, waving his hand. ”Go and play. You can only stay here for half an hour longer. You must go back to your residence before ten o'clock.”
