Ordinary Road 2010

At present, apart from Zhang Yiming of Byte who has put a little pressure on them in China and Asia, Muse has not encountered any comparable competing products in Europe and America.

Chapter 633 Today is a big day

The next morning, the listing ceremony of Wanli Travel was held in a special hall of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

The Hong Kong Stock Exchange is located in the core area of ​​Hong Kong Island, where the land is very expensive, and the Exchange Square near Central. It is only one step away from the famous IFC. It is the tallest skyscraper in the common night view of Victoria Harbor.

Lin Yi's attire today is particularly grand, and it was specially customized in advance for this occasion.

Today is a big day.

Many people will be present at the ceremony, in addition to representatives of the company's management team represented by Lin Yi, there are also representatives of investors, representatives of drivers and passengers selected in advance, representatives of partners, intermediaries, financial media, etc.

As an important shareholder of BAT, although the big boss did not attend in person, at least they sent representatives to participate in the ceremony.

In addition, because Lin Yi held the rice mobile phone market the day before, Lei Jun reciprocated today and stood up for him.

"A group of talented people, full of guests, thank all guests for attending today's listing ceremony of Wanli Travel, this is the most glorious moment in our five years since our establishment..."

Lin Yi did not speak for a long time on behalf of the company, and then he simply knocked on the large gong beside him, making a clear and loud sound.

Listing is customarily called "ringing the bell", because the North and South exchanges of the big A-shares use the bell, while the Hong Kong Stock Exchange rings the gong.

In this joyful and happy atmosphere, Wanli Travel was officially listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and the opening price was higher than the IPO offering price, achieving a good start.

It is not quite accurate to say that, because Hong Kong stocks are green and red, which is exactly the opposite of A shares.

The security code of Wanli Travel is 9999. At first glance, it can be seen that such a number is not normally assigned by the exchange, but bought at an additional cost.

The exchange sounds high-end, and this type of business is no different from Goose Factory’s selling QQ accounts.

In short, Lin Yi is in a good mood, and he is taking pictures with various people non-stop. He should have taken more photos today than in the past year.

Because he is today's protagonist, no matter what character is present, if you don't take a photo with him, today will be in vain.

Of course, not all cats and dogs go to him. They are all decent people on this occasion, and they will weigh their identities before going up for a chat.

Li Moyan originally wanted to keep a low profile today, and only catch up with familiar old colleagues like Liu Jianni and Wang Kai.

After all, she is no longer a member of Wanli Travel, and she doesn't want to steal the company's limelight on this occasion, but it turns out that such efforts seem to be in vain.

Muse music short videos have developed rapidly at home and abroad this year, which has attracted widespread attention in the industry. In addition, there are talks such as open and secret fights with Zhang Yiming.

Although at present, the size of Muse is not enough to be compared with Wanli Travel, Li Moyan, who has become the top leader after leaving, is more important than when she was the president here.

Therefore, apart from Lin Yi, the second person to chat with was her, and she never had time to come around.

Lei Jun didn't count, he just came to support the show, and left after a brief appearance.

"Sister!"

Li Moyan was chatting with an investment banker who wanted to cooperate with Muse when he heard a familiar call.

Looking back, I saw Lin Yi waving at a conspicuous position on the stage, obviously calling her to come over.

Li Moyan smiled apologetically at the passer-by, and then went to meet Lin Yi in the direction where he was.

"Let's take a picture together."

Lin Yi didn't have any serious business at first, but after spending a long time shooting with a group of people he didn't know well, he was finally able to have some time for his own people.

The senior sister did not refuse.

Because this is not Lin Yi expressing anything special, after the two of them took a group photo as co-founders, they joined Liu Jianni and Wang Kai to take a photo, and then joined all the company executives present to take a photo together.

For the last huge family photo, many staff present all came on stage and stood in four rows. Lin Yi and his senior sister were in the middle of the first row.

Under the command of the photographer, everyone smiled politely at the same time, recording this highlight moment.

……

After the ceremony on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is over, it does not mean that all their tasks for today are completed, because there will be a celebratory dinner at night.

The participants are almost the same, but the scope can be larger.Due to the limited space of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, many grassroots employees have been busy for a long time for the listing ceremony, but they have no chance to enter the scene in the morning.

They booked the banquet hall on the top floor of the five-star hotel they stayed in in advance, enough to set up dozens of large tables.

If you want to make it more grand, you can also invite artists to come and perform. The performance equipment and stage are all available, but Lin Yi didn't intend to be so public, so he refused.

In the evening, Lin Yi, who was sitting at the main table, would inevitably be toasted frequently.

Fortunately, he can still hold on, because with Lin Yi's current status, no one will compete with him, and no one can say anything if he drinks less.

Some people came to pay respects to Li Moyan who was beside him, but they were chased away by Lin Yi.

"Senior sister doesn't drink."

At the end of the dinner, this kind of polite entertainment came to an end.

"Is this Lin Yi's first visit to Hong Kong City?"

The person who spoke was the person in charge of an investment bank who was the joint sponsor of Wanli Travel this time. Since winning the bid, he has only met Lin Yi two or three times, and he has been trying to get close to him today.

This is already considered a respectable person, not to say that he has to curry favor with Lin Yi.

Going public isn't the end, it's just the beginning.

The IPO of Wanli Travel has been sponsored by his team, which has laid a good foundation for cooperation between the two parties. If Lin Yi wants to do something in the capital market in the future, it will be more convenient to find them.

The premise is that they maintain this customer well.

Of course, the person in charge hopes to make money from Lin Yi in the future. It would be best if the two parties can establish a little personal relationship.

Lin Yi had been to Hong Kong City in his previous life, but this was the first time in his life.

"How can you see it?"

"I heard that you only stayed in the hotel for one night after you arrived yesterday, and you didn't go out for a walk. The night view of Hong Kong City is very beautiful."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "I don't own any property in Hong Kong City, so I can only stay in a hotel. As for the night view, can't you see it here too?"

They are now in the banquet hall on the top floor of the hotel, and it has the best view, with a clear view of the brightly lit Kowloon Peninsula on the opposite side.

"What you can see here...is only part of it."

After thinking for a while, the other party suggested: "This dinner should be almost finished, and I'm quite tired after the day. Why don't you escort Jane and Miss Mo Yan back first, Alice."

"I'll take Lin Yi to another place to sit."

Alice is the only woman present in their team. If Liu Jianni and Li Moyan are taken away together, there will only be men left on the scene.

It is actually unnecessary to say that they are escorts, because the hotel where they rest is downstairs, and they can get there by pressing an elevator.

In social situations, it's a signal.

Hearing the sound, Li Moyan just glanced at Lin Yi, without saying a word.

Lin Yi realized that the other party seemed to have misunderstood something, so he took the initiative to say: "No need, it's just a few steps away, I'd better take them back."

The other party was slightly surprised, then looked back and forth between Lin Yi and Li Moyan, and soon revealed a clear look.

"If that's the case, let's do it next time. If you come to Hong Kong City to find me anytime, I can introduce you to some local friends."

He never mentioned where he planned to take Lin Yi just now.

After Lin Yi, senior sister and Liu Jianni thanked each other politely, they left the scene together.

Chapter 634 Fallen City

Lin Yi actually didn't go back to the room directly.

As soon as he got into the elevator, he asked the two people around him: "Do you want to go downstairs? I had a drink just now, and I wanted to go outside to catch some wind."

Liu Jianni was a very winking person, so she directly declined: "You guys go."

Li Moyan didn't comment, but she didn't assign her own floor, so she acquiesced.

When the elevator stopped on the first floor, only Lin Yi and Senior Sister came out, and the former breathed out a stale breath that smelled of alcohol.

They walked out of the hotel gate, looking at the unfamiliar street with no particular goal.

"Go over there."

It's east, in the direction of Causeway Bay, and it's easy to find a late-night snack when you're tired from walking.

Lin Yi and his senior sister just strolled on the streets of Hong Kong City. Even if it is close to the core area of ​​the CBD, the roads here are still narrow, which is quite different from the big cities in the mainland.

Only the row upon row of high-rise buildings on both sides still reminded them that they were in a bustling modern metropolis.

They walked for a while without anyone speaking, until Lin Yi suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing, I was thinking, the night view of Hong Kong City is really not bad."

"What, regret it?"

Lin Yi reacted for a while before realizing that because of the incident upstairs, the word "night scene" seemed to have other meanings for a short time.

"of course not."

"When you told us a long time ago that we were going to go public, you set your sights on Hong Kong City from the very beginning. You should have recognized this place more, right?"

"Not really. The reason why I chose Hong Kong City as the listing location is only a last resort, because the United States is an unacceptable option. I don't have any special preference for Hong Kong City, or quite the opposite."

I don't know if it was the effect of the alcohol, or if they finally talked about a non-work topic, Lin Yi's talk was very sexual.

They listened somewhere in the street, and then Lin Yi pointed in one direction and asked, "Do you know what the three buildings over there are?"

It's not the first time for Senior Sister to come to Hong Kong City, but she has never paid attention to a few super high-rise office buildings, let alone at night when the vision is relatively limited.

She didn't ask why Lin Yi, who came to Hong Kong City for the first time, knew each other, but just listened to him solve the mystery himself.

"Those three buildings are all famous. From low to high, they are HSBC Headquarters, Cheung Kong Group Center, and Bank of China Tower."

"It is very appropriate to use these three buildings to represent Hong Kong City. It not only clarifies the ownership of this city, but also includes its past, present and future."

"Among all the stories about them, the most well-known one is actually a Feng Shui bureau."

"The position of HSBC Bank, known as its financial position on Hong Kong Island, has played an irreplaceable and important role in this city for many years."

"In the 80s, the Bank of China Building rose from the ground. It looks like a sharp knife with three sides, and it has a fierce aura. It is said that the feng shui of HSBC Bank has been broken and the business has suffered setbacks."

"So HSBC also found a master, and finally set up two cannons on the roof of the building, and the muzzles were directly aimed at the Bank of China Building as a counterweight."

"In the end, Boss Li, who was sandwiched between them, built the building in a square shape like a strong shield when he was building the Yangtze River Group Center, with a fortified door."

"This is simply a fable. How did you feel after listening to it?"

The senior sister said concisely: "Ridiculous!"

"right?"

It was the first time for Lin Yi to exchange his views on this matter with others.

"I think so too."

"Such three towering skyscrapers, such a modern city that can be counted in Asia and even the whole world, are so reckless, but so serious, and they are playing a feng shui game in a decent way."

“People who come to this city for the first time are often amazed by its grandeur, but the more you come, the more you will find the unforgettable tradition under its magnificent appearance.”

"This so-called tradition is not the old, outdated, outdated conservative that we usually talk about."

"It's a kind of time and space spanning 200 years. It's an unconcealable decay and corpse smell reincarnated from the dirty soil in the coffin buried deep in the ground."

"This is Hong Kong City."

The senior sister really didn't expect that Lin Yi's evaluation of the city would be like this.

"I don't deny that this city has its charms, especially the interlaced light and shadow in old port films, which is the childhood filter given to it by our generation."

"But the city's prosperity, its bustling traffic, its feasting and luxury, have nothing to do with those nostalgic fireworks and human touch."

"Do you see the overpass over there?"

"Under the overpass, every weekend, it will be full of people, which surprises tourists who are not familiar with it. Why are there so many homeless people sleeping on the streets in such a bustling city?"

"Those are Filipino maids."

"In the civilized standards that Hong Kong City prides itself on, Filipino maids are another class of people."

"They are also not protected by the local minimum wage, and they are often bullied or beaten by their employers, just like the kind of servants who are really low-spirited and can only swallow their anger in order to avoid being fired."

"The houses in Hong Kong City are very small. It is impossible for most families to prepare a separate bedroom for Filipino maids, so they can only make floors in the living room and even the toilet."
