Chapter 667

If it were someone else, I'm afraid that Fang Zhe and his wife, who are famous all over the world, would not and dare not invite them to attend the listing ceremony of their company.

Alima's general idea is obviously different, which can be seen from ordinary people who have little reputation for giving the location of the bell ringing ceremony to 8, but have a lot of affinity with Alibaba.

Among them, there are Olympic champions who open stores on Taobao, post-90s Taobao customer service, Taobao girls who do Taobao models, couriers, and American farmers who sell chelizi to China through tmall.

Mr. Ma's doing so shows that he doesn't care whether he can be in the limelight, but more about whether he can bring tangible benefits to Alibaba. He arranges eight ordinary people who have roots with Alibaba, which not only has enough topics and stories, but also allows investors and shareholders to see that he and Alibaba pay attention to customers and employees, and see that Alibaba customers are the first, The values of employees second and shareholders third!

Similarly, President Ma specially invited Fang Zhe and his wife to attend Alibaba's listing ceremony, not only because Huizhong behind Fang Zhe is one of the major shareholders of Alibaba's core business tmall, but also because he hopes Fang zhe can provide a platform for himself and Alibaba.

You know, in Wall Street and the whole west, the fame and influence of Fang Zhe and Huizhong are much better than those of himself and Alibaba who only have fame and develop business in China. Fang zhe represents Huizhong on this platform, and the impression of Wall Street stock managers and investors on Alibaba has improved a lot!

At 9:30 a.m., the listing ceremony officially began. Eight bell ringers who attended the bell ringing ceremony on behalf of Alibaba pressed the button representing the opening of the New York Stock Exchange under the eyes of everyone.

The bell rang.

Warm applause swept through the trading hall. Alibaba's logo appeared on various electronic screens in the hall.

Fang Zhe and Feng Xue also warmly applauded President Ma of Alibaba, who was surrounded by the crowd.

At this time, President Ma smiled with unprecedented happiness and joy. He raised his right hand and waved to the people.

The media and reporters not far away gladly captured this very memorable moment for Ma and Alibaba.

"Ah Zhe, I finally realized how you felt when Huizhong was listed!" the elated President Ma suddenly came to Fang Zhe's ear and said without a head.

Fang zhe patted President Ma on the shoulder with a smile. President Ma's words aroused Fang Zhe's memories. On the same day and at the same place last year, Huizhong was listed on the New York Stock Exchange. At that time, Fang zhe had not only the joy of success, but also the feeling of relief, relaxation, and mixed with a little confusion. I don't know at the moment, Whether President Ma was in the same mood as himself at that time.

In addition, Fang Zhe is also curious about why Alibaba chose the listing time on the same day as Huizhong. Fang zhe doesn't believe that all this is just a coincidence. I'm afraid there must be a deep meaning for President Ma's arrangement.

Fang Zhe's curiosity was answered in the next interview with Bloomberg media reporters.

"Hello, jackma, I'm Mary from Bloomberg!" Mary, a Bloomberg reporter who has interviewed Fang Zhe and a familiar face of Jingdong president Liu, crossed the crowded trading hall and crowded in front of Ma and Fang Zhe.

"Hello, Mary!" Mr. Ma nodded to the familiar face Bloomberg reporter in a light green suit.

"Hello, Fang Zhe, Hello, Mrs. Fang. It's nice to see you again at the New York Stock Exchange!"

Mary said hello to Fang Zhe and his wife standing aside.

Fang Zhe and his wife also nodded to her, saying hello.

Mary pointed the microphone at President Ma and said, "first of all, on behalf of Bloomberg, I would like to congratulate President Ma and Alibaba on their listing here. Then I'd like to ask how you feel at the moment!"

According to the interview practice, Mary asked President Ma about her mood at the moment and got the answer she wanted: "happy, very happy!"

Mary smiled and nodded. She interviewed the mood of many founders or CEOs on the day of the company's listing. So far, she hasn't got any strange answers except happy.

"OK, Mr. Ma, since you are very happy now, I am also happy to interview you with a few questions next. I hope you can answer them happily."

Mary said and asked her first interview question:

"First of all, I want to ask a question that many investors and Mr. Fang zhe standing next to you want to ask. Why did Alibaba choose to go public on the same day as Huizhong on September 19!"

When Mary asked this question, Fang Zhe, Feng Xue and many people nearby also pricked up their ears and waited for the curious answer in their hearts.

The horse's face was grin. This question, from Alibaba, was listed on the same day as the Hui people's listing last year. Many people asked him that all kinds of news media, official account and media have speculated about it. But Ma has not answered this question publicly. He waited for today, that is, when Fang zhe stood beside him. Answer this question again.

Mr. Ma glanced at Fang Zhe and replied, "if I say it's a coincidence, you won't believe it. I can only say it's a good omen. Since Huizhong listed on this day last year and achieved good results, I certainly hope Alibaba can achieve good results on the same day."

President Ma was talking. There was a cry of surprise in the trading hall. People looked at Alibaba's share price, which had increased by 10% compared with the issue price!

Alibaba's rising share price momentum also seems to confirm Ma Zongtu's remarks of good luck and good omen.

President Ma's face was more happy. Fang Zhe and Feng Xue looked at each other. It seemed that they didn't expect that the reason and answer given by President Ma should be so simple and pure.

"Congratulations, Mr. Ma!" Mary also congratulated. At the same time, she seemed to think of Mr. Liu, CEO of Jingdong, another Chinese e-commerce company interviewed on NASDAQ a few months ago.

At that time, when she was interviewed by herself, JD's share price rose slightly. Mary still remembers the pride and clamor of president Liu at that time. However, later, JD's share price trend was not as good as president Liu imagined. I don't know whether Ma and his Ali Baba will repeat the same mistake today.

As it happens, Mary's next question is also related to the last Liu and Jingdong. Mary asked:

"A few months ago, Jingdong, another Chinese e-commerce company, was listed on Nasdaq, another major exchange in the United States. President Liu, CEO of Jingdong, claimed that his company was the first share of Chinese e-commerce enterprises, and boasted to beat tmall and surpass Alibaba within a few years.

What do you think of his remarks at that time? Do you think JD has a chance to surpass Alibaba? "
