Chapter 467: Chapter 467: Successful IPO and Cash-Out Plan

After signing the investment agreement with Cloud Machine Technology.

Chen Yiyang returned to Lin’an and received a call from Yang Ning.

Marte Bubble successfully listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, with an issue price of 38 Hong Kong Dollars, opening at 77 Hong Kong Dollars, a rise of 100%, and a market value exceeding 100 billion Hong Kong Dollars.

At the same time, according to forecasts by professional institutions, Marte Bubble’s market value could even reach 150 billion Hong Kong Dollars next month.

A great success.

For this, Yang Ning invited Chen Yiyang to join the celebration banquet.

As a major shareholder holding 20% of Marte Bubble’s shares.

Previously, Yang Ning had invited Chen Yiyang to Hong Kong Island to attend the listing ceremony.

But Chen Yiyang was very busy at that time, so he declined.

Now, he has to make a trip no matter what.

His investment back then has multiplied by several hundred times now.

At the celebration banquet, Yang Ning expressed a lot of gratitude, including thanking Chen Yiyang for his keen eye.

Of course, what Chen Yiyang is thinking about now is how to cash out and leave.

Marte Bubble has succeeded, but as a toy company, its market value definitely has a ceiling.

If he relies solely on the annual dividends given to shareholders by Marte Bubble, Chen Yiyang estimates that even after several decades, the dividends would be much less than selling the shares after Marte Bubble’s market value reached its peak.

But before Chen Yiyang could think about how to tell Yang Ning that he plans on selling some shares to raise cash after the stock unlocks.

After all, making cars is a money-consuming project, and he definitely didn’t want to be hunted down due to lack of money in the future.

However, before he could even speak up.

After the celebration banquet ended, Yang Ning took all the shareholders of Marte Bubble to a private room.

Besides Chen Yiyang, Marte Bubble also attracted investments from several large investing institutions during the listing.

Though Chen Yiyang is still the second-largest shareholder at present.

The investors from these investment institutions were highly curious about Chen Yiyang. Compared to the prices when they joined, the price at which Chen Yiyang invested in Marte Bubble was incredibly low.

Now, the earnings have multiplied by several hundred times.

"Now the company is already listed," Yang Ning said to the various investors, "I know some people are planning to cash out and leave after the lock-up period ends.

But for a company that’s only just recently listed, having major shareholders cash out and leave immediately after the lock-up period is a blow to the brand value."

Yang Ning’s words did not change the expressions on the faces of the investors present.

Because Yang Ning essentially spoke nonsense.

In current investing, unless you are a particularly potential and promising company.

For a general company, investment institutions would have to wait indefinitely to earn solely from dividends.

Moreover, many companies don’t even give out dividends.

Thus, cashing out once the company’s market value reaches its peak after the lock-up period ends is common practice for investment institutions.

As for damaging brand value, investors simply don’t care.

"To be honest," Yang Ning saw the lack of reaction from these investors and wasn’t upset. Instead, he continued.

"I personally also hope to cash out for a large amount of cash after the lock-up period ends. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Whether to use this money to continue developing the company or to improve personal life, cashing out is necessary for me too."

Yang Ning’s words finally made the investors take it seriously.

Originally, they thought Yang Ning was worried about investors cashing out and leaving.

Now it seems that’s not the case.

"Even though according to predictions by professional institutions, our market value could reach 150 billion next month.

But this is largely due to the speculation by stock trading institutions after the company just went public.

Once this speculation wave passes, as a company that produces trendy toy collections, our market value will eventually decline slowly, perhaps even dropping below 100 billion Hong Kong Dollars."

Yang Ning’s words were indeed truthful.

The issue that Chen Yiyang could see was also visible to other investment institutions and investors.

The profit ceiling for trendy toy collections is just there.

Moreover, public preferences change in waves.

What’s favored today may be out of favor tomorrow, replaced by something else.

Furthermore, toys aren’t highly technical, it’s easy for other companies to catch up in sales.

"But I’m thinking, cashing out at 100 billion Hong Kong Dollars may be too much of a loss for everyone, including myself. Why not expand the pie, and wait until our market value hits the very peak, like 200 billion or even 300 billion before cashing out?"

"What do you plan to do?" asked the head of an investment institution.

"You all can look at my proposal."

Yang Ning said as he distributed a document to each of the attendees.

Chen Yiyang picked it up, glanced at it, and couldn’t help but be impressed.

This Yang Ning, he truly has patience and ambition!

Yang Ning’s plan was simple; after the IPO, the company would primarily promote a certain toy to make it popular.

For this product, the company would invest heavily in marketing expenses.

This includes signing contracts with various celebrities, having them appear with Marte Bubble products in public, allowing journalists and media to capture it.

Through this strategy, Marte Bubble’s toys could become popular among many celebrity fan groups.

Of course, the plan doesn’t stop there.

As Marte Bubble’s toys are limited editions, once the toys start gaining popularity, Marte Bubble will then operate in the secondary market.

By strictly controlling the number of authentic toys and covertly spending money to buy back a batch of toys that are popular in the market at high prices, the company can inflate their prices in the secondary market.

This plan would last for about a year.

After which, there would undoubtedly be a large secondary market emerging around Marte Bubble’s toys.

And since the company would proactively buy back some limited toys at high prices.

This ensures that even second-hand Marte Bubble toys maintain a very high value.

This essentially conveys a message to the public.

First, Marte Bubble toys are very popular.

Second, Marte Bubble toys hold significant value in the secondary market and have stood the test of time.

In this situation, the company would then spend money on media to further promote Marte Bubble toys.

Once major websites are flooded with news about Marte Bubble toys.

Various stock trading institutions and investors, after confirming the historical popularity and value of Marte Bubble toys in the secondary market over the past year, would undoubtedly seize the opportunity to enter the market and purchase Marte Bubble stocks, thus driving up the stock price.

When Marte Bubble’s stock price reaches its peak, major investors can completely cash out in succession.

However, this is not the final step of the plan.
