216: Alibaba's IPO steals the spotlight, making Jack Ma the richest man in Asia!

Leng Nuannuan, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but burst into laughter after hearing that.

The auntie looked at her again, quite talkative: "Young lady, you are very pretty. You should tell your boyfriend, if he doesn't know much about trading stocks, he needs to learn. My son is a professional at this, and he has already earned over 200,000 this year!"

"He said that right now, brokerage stocks are the bellwether for the entire market!! Buying them is definitely the right move!!"

"And you, young man, you must recognize the situation clearly. Don't just play around occasionally; you must treat this as a career. Once a man settles down, he needs to learn how to make money!!"

Wang Lin could only smile bitterly and nod repeatedly.

Because Wang Lin only bought some side dishes like green peppers and green onions at this stall, and he didn't buy much, just enough for one meal.

This auntie was a person of character; she had made money today and felt a connection with Wang Lin.

She waved her hand directly: "Alright, you two really lucked out today. Auntie is happy today and I like you both. Let's make this meal free!! It's not easy for young people to make money."

Wang Lin was about to say something, but Leng Nuannuan pulled him and smiled: "Thank you so much, auntie. I wish you continued success in making big money tomorrow!!"

The auntie was grinning from ear to ear upon hearing this: "Young lady, you have such a sweet tongue. Just for that, I'll give you a piece of ginger. You can use it when stir-frying meat or making soup to remove any unpleasant odors."

The two returned from the vegetable market with a full haul.

Leng Nuannuan laughed the entire way back.

"Occasionally trading stocks Brother Lin? Doesn't know how to trade stocks Brother Lin?!"

Leng Nuannuan giggled.

Wang Lin also felt a bit emotional: "The market trend this year seems really good; even the auntie selling vegetables has started trading stocks."

But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense.

The market trend this year has been very stable. The beijing-tianjin-hebei integration theme at the beginning of the year, the military industry theme in the middle, and now the brokerage stocks theme—these are all super major themes that spanned a month or two.

And in between, there were actually many small themes interspersed, which were also profitable.

It's just that Wang Lin couldn't be bothered to look at these themes.

They didn't suit his taste.

This week, as the early rising period of the bull market, coupled with the entry and layout of tens of billions of foreign capital, almost every day was in the red.

The money-making effect in the stock market was excellent, so Retail Investors felt that time passed very quickly.

Soon, it was the Friday closing.

On the usual Friday afternoon, the Stock Picking Bar was filled with people showing off their profits.

This week, many people made money.

In extreme cases, some were even able to double their money in a week.

This was with leverage.

"This week passed so quickly. It feels like it hasn't even passed yet, and it's already the weekend."

"Who's to say it isn't? I really don't want the weekend to come now; damn it, it affects my money-making!"

"It's too comfortable. I earned over 30 points with a full position in one week. It's really taking off!!"

"Over 30 points and you call that taking off? Look at the big shots on the Stock Picking Bar who are fully leveraged; which one of them isn't starting with doubling their money? If you don't go hard when the market is this good, are you going to wait until you're losing money to go hard?!"

"We really hit the jackpot; we actually got foreign capital to start carrying our sedan chair. It's super comfortable!!"

This week, according to the data, the position of foreign capital has been fully filled.

This was data that had just been updated in the last two days.

It also let some Institutions know that it was actually foreign capital pushing up the market this week!!

But it made them feel even more shocked. Even foreign capital started to be bullish on the Chinese stock market and started to carry their sedan chair, so what did their selling amount to?

Next week, continue to replenish positions and go hard on the A-shares!!

This is a bull market; after selling, you have to buy it back at a higher price!!

...

This weekend.

It was time for the second episode of Running Man to air.

It was also Wang Lin's first time on television.

After this episode aired, the response was extremely strong.

After all, the first episode had already become a hit, and many people were waiting by the TV for this second episode.

The guest stars, Guli Nazha and Tang Yixin, were very eye-catching.

Especially Guli Nazha's legs; they were longer than life!!

But the audience didn't know Wang Lin at all; they just felt that Guli Nazha was interacting so ambiguously with such a passerby like him, and he deserved to be fiercely eliminated!!

"Holy crap, they actually invited Guli Nazha and Tang Yixin today. I like them both very much!!"

"It's my first time hearing of Guli Nazha. She's really too cool. These legs are longer than my life!"

"Tang Yixin is no less impressive, okay? She completely fits my aesthetic!"

"Does no one think baby has a great personality? I just love watching her!!"

"Tch, it's a complete rip-off of a Korean variety show. What's good about it? It's better to watch the original version!"

"Can the person above get lost? Where did this dog kennel let you out from?"

"Guess who I saw? I think I saw Father Ma!!"

What could be better than being on a weekend night, on a rainy day, curled up on the sofa, with Guli Nazha in one's left arm and Tang Yixin in one's right arm?

Watching the second episode of the first season of Running Man on TV?

During the day, Wang Lin suddenly remembered that Running Man was going to be updated, so he called the two girls.

He asked them to come over and watch it together.

Now, ever since Guli Nazha and Tang Yixin followed Wang Lin's footsteps, it was equivalent to having an extra super giant backer.

Those at the very top of the entertainment industry, which one of them doesn't eventually connect with people in the financial circle? Or have intricate connections with the financial circle.

After all, isn't everyone in this circle here to make money?

But finance, in essence, is money.

And Wang Lin, as a current hegemon in the domestic financial circle, has an invincible status.

It's just that he doesn't like to show off, and his rise was too fast, so many people actually don't know that such a person exists.

Unlike Father Ma, who likes to show off and give high-profile speeches.

The three of them drank some wine together while watching the program on TV.

The editing team knew very well who the big and small kings were, or rather, the production team had specifically instructed to make sure to cut out Wang Lin's highlight moments.

And Father Ma's footage should also be cut out.

In the future, these would all be highlight moments for their program team.

Wang Lin and Father Ma appearing on camera was the honor of their Running Man program!!

Coincidentally, this weekend, Ali Baba's IPO was also officially listed.

On the New York Stock Exchange, the trading code is BABA.

The issue price was 68 dollars.

The issuance scale was 320 million shares, and the maximum scale could reach 25 billion dollars.

If calculated at this price of 68 dollars, Ali Baba's financing this time reached a terrifying 22 billion dollars, becoming the largest IPO in the history of the Beautiful Country!

The evening in China is the daytime in the Beautiful Country.

Today was the first day BABA was listed.

As soon as the market opened, BABA gapped up and skyrocketed to 93 dollars, a surge of 37%, and its market value reached a terrifying 234 billion dollars.

It also directly surpassed Facebook, becoming the second-largest technology company after Google.

Such a terrifying increase and scale shocked Stock Investors worldwide.

"This is too terrifying; BABA has directly become the world's second-largest technology company!!"

"Father Ma, Father Ma!!"

"Is this thing's market value actually this high? Over 200 billion dollars, my god, isn't this directly approaching a market value of 2 trillion Chinese currency!!"

"Now he really is Father Ma!!"

"Father Ma's net worth has directly exceeded 25 billion dollars now, right?"

"Damn, did anyone successfully get in on the IPO? Ali Baba is actually this crazy!!"

"I am really proud of Ali Baba. This is the first stock from our country that has gone abroad and is this strong, right?!"

"Mr. Ma is now truly the richest man in China, and no one can shake that!!"

"Invincible, my god!"

"Hehe, to tell you the truth, brother, I bought a lot during the bidding process. This time, I've really taken off."

The listing of Ali Baba triggered crazy speculation by global Stock Investors and large multinational Institutions.

Of course, in reality, the ones who made the most money were still foreign capital enterprises.

If there were no foreign capital, it would have been impossible for Ali Baba to successfully pass the IPO.

These domestic big shots all understand this.

Wang Lin didn't think about these things at this moment; he was immersed in his comfort zone.

However, it wasn't long before dense bullet comments suddenly started flying across the screen.

This was the first time Mango TV used an online method to increase the sense of interaction among the audience.

However, this first attempt was actually made viral by Father Ma.

One could only see the screen filled with "Father Ma" being spammed.

Many people were also confused.

What does "Father Ma" mean?

They didn't know at this time that on the other side of the ocean, an aircraft carrier had officially landed on the New York Stock Exchange and set sail!!

Guli Nazha and Tang Yixin were also completely confused.

They were not people in the financial circle and didn't understand what "Father Ma" or "richest man" meant.

Wang Lin smiled and said: "It's just that old man who came to find me when we were recording the show last time, the one wearing black cloth shoes."

With this description, the two of them had an impression.

It seemed the program team was very respectful to that old man.

Guli Nazha also shops online, so she knew: "He is Father Ma, the founder of Ali Baba, I know!!"

Wang Lin also took out his phone and glanced at it: "He's actually quite impressive; the market value has already risen to over 200 billion dollars."

He thought for a moment, but still didn't call Father Ma.

At this time, he was probably very busy.

Wang Lin was explaining to the two of them what this meant for Father Ma.

Like the increase in his net worth, the increase in his international influence; these were the most intuitive and immediate things.

Starting from today, between the two Mas, Father Ma would be ranked first!!

After a round of crazy "Father Ma" on the bullet comments.

Many viewers also roughly understood what had happened.

Thus, teasing bullet comments arose: "Running Man has really made it now; they can even invite the richest man in China to advertise."

And now on the Social Media Platform.

The news that Ali Baba's market value exceeded 200 billion dollars and Father Ma strongly topped the list as the richest man in China had already parachuted to the number one spot on the hot search.

All kinds of compliments, shocks, and exclamations.

One can imagine that in the future, becoming an employee of Ali Baba will also be an honor.

At this time, countless domestic financial Institutions and countless industries were shocked by the terror of Ali Baba and the capital market's bullish view on it.

The noise on the internet didn't reach Wang Lin's side.

The three of them continued to drink wine and watch TV.

But at this moment, Wang Lin's phone rang.

He looked at the name.

Father Ma!

Wang Lin smiled and shook his head speechlessly: "This old guy, instead of showing off to his peers, he actually came here to show off to me!"

Looking at the surprised eyes of Guli Nazha and Tang Yixin, Wang Lin answered the phone and listened to the voice coming from the other side: "Little Wang, have you seen the hot search on the Social Media Platform today?"

Wang Lin shook his head and said: "What hot search on the Social Media Platform? Is that something a person of my level should be looking at!"

Father Ma continued: "Then you should at least watch the financial news; do you know what just happened?"

Wang Lin shook his head again: "I don't know. Could it be that the leader of the Beautiful Country went for a streak in the streets?!"

Father Ma snorted coldly: "You brat, you're no good; you don't know how to respect the elderly. My company's IPO in the Beautiful Country was successful, and now the market value has reached over 200 billion dollars!!"

Listening to Father Ma's bragging voice, Guli Nazha and Tang Yixin were stunned.

Is this still the richest man in China who stands on stage, waving his arms and making grand speeches?

Why does he seem like a child who came over to show off that he has one more lollipop than the other person?

Believe it or not, Father Ma actually didn't know why either.

At this moment today, he actually thought of this kid, Wang Lin.
