696 [One Family, Three Fathers and Sons]

On February 2nd, the dragon raised its head.

Just after 7 o'clock that morning, a long line was lined up on the side door of the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Some were senior employees of Xianjiu Group, and some were invited media reporters, chatting and waiting for the staff to open the door.

Seeing that the time was almost over, the major shareholders of Xianjiu Group finally appeared.

What surprised the reporters was that it was neither Song Weiyang nor Song Shumin and Song Qizhi who walked in the front, but an old man with a crutch.

The old man was wearing a brand new Zhongshan suit and two pens were inserted in his pocket on his chest, which instantly recalled the fashionable outfits of the 1980s. Song Shumin and Song Qizhi stood on the left and right of the old man, and the father and son leaned back slightly, stretched out their hands to support his arm, as if they were afraid that the old man would fall.

Song Weiyang stood behind him, and most of the ones who walked with him were his father's follower.

However, there are only four of these entrepreneurial veterans left. One died of illness a few years ago; the other misappropriated the company's funds and was persuaded to withdraw, and even the shares were repurchased, and the misappropriated part was deducted from it; the other two could not keep up with the pace of the company's development and had already retired and received dividends every year.

The real estate company invested by Xianjiu Group has cut off relations with the parent company before applying for listing, and the specific equity allocation is subject to normal procedures.

As time passed little by little, everyone finally arrived at the small hall where the gong-beating ceremony was held.

Song Qizhi and the old man stood in position C. Song Qizhi recited according to the manuscript: "Hello everyone, everyone! At this moment, I am extremely excited. 24 years ago, my father, Mr. Song Shumin, a rural educated youth from Shenghai, started a winemaking workshop with several young people in the village. Nine years later, this winemaking workshop gradually grew bigger and merged a local state-owned winery. From the workshop to the winery, my father and his entrepreneurial partners have experienced countless ups and downs.

Take over the burden from the hands of our predecessors, trembling, walking on thin ice, grateful and uneasy... There is endless words to thank you, and the best way to thank you is to continue to work hard. We must work hard to make products and repay our consumers who support us, and we must be a good company and return our employees and investors. In more than 10 minutes, our stocks will start trading. This is a brand new beginning for Xianjiu Group. I have finished speaking, and now I would like to ask our old factory director Mr. Chen Zhonghua to speak! Thank you everyone!"

"Smack it!"

After a burst of applause, everyone realized that the old man was the former factory director.

Chen Zhonghua was in high spirits today. He did not read the manuscript and straightened his back and said, "My name is Chen Zhonghua. When I was the factory director, Xianjiu was not called Xianjiu. Before liberation, this winery had existed, but it was a winery of the capitalists. I grew up in the old society. When I was 16 years old, my mother gave gifts with a basket of eggs and asked me to go to the winery as an apprentice. Later, the founding of New China, workers not only turned over as masters, but also organized everyone to learn cultural knowledge. I learned to write my own name in the winery, and I got married in the winery to get married. Later, I joined the party and promoted the party. The winery is my home, and the winery workers are my relatives!"

The old man spoke a little long-windedly, but everyone listened with relish.

Especially those financial reporters, I feel that the old man’s speech is very fresh and much more interesting than those bosses who go public and shout slogans.

Chen Zhonghua continued: "I don't know when the winery got sick. The factory manager was not a good doctor, so all the workers in the venue were affected by me. I reached the retirement age again, and replaced a bastard factory manager and completely ruined the factory. At that time, the city decided to sell the winery to Xiao Song. I did not agree. How could there be a reason for private enterprises to merge state-owned enterprises? I, a retired old man, have also done something to block the secretary and mayor's door. But soon I found out that I was wrong. Xiao Song made the factory very well and the workers could receive monthly wages. Later, some unpleasant things happened. Thanks to the two Xiao Xiao Song, namely Song Qizhi and Song Weiyang brothers, they looked down on me and invited me back to the factory as a consultant and gave me some shares. I am very pleased that the winery can develop to its current scale. I will go public again today, and even if I die, I can die with peace of mind..."

After all, Chen Zhonghua is too old and his speech is organized at the beginning, but gradually he starts to repeat and talk.

Song Qizhi glanced at the wall clock on the wall and whispered: "Old factory manager, time is coming."

Chen Zhonghua smiled and said, "What I want to say is finished, thank you everyone!"

Originally, Song Qizhi wanted Chen Zhonghua to beat the gong, but the old man firmly disagreed.

I saw Song Shumin, Song Qizhi and Song Weiyang standing side by side, holding drumsticks at the same time, and the countdown of collective shouting sounded: "10, 9, 8...2, 1!"

"Dong!"

With a dull sound, the stock opened.

Everyone looked up at the screen in the small hall and was shocked, because the opening price was as high as 30 yuan. The issue price of Xianjiu was only 25 yuan, and it directly opened to the daily limit... I don’t know what happened in the group bidding stage.

Song Qizhi was surprised and said inexplicably: "Is this too fierce, right?"

"It's normal." Song Weiyang smiled.

On the first day of 2006, the Chinese stock market ushered in a good start, and the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets soared.

Hongdu Airlines, a monster stock that rose nearly 200% last year, will rise by more than 400% this year, which shows how crazy the stock market was in 2006.

At this time, Song Weiyang's family business went public. Even if we don't look at the specific situation of Xianjiu Group, we only put the name of Song Weiyang, the richest man in China, we will rush to invest!

Financial reporters were particularly excited and rushed to interview Song Weiyang.

"Mr. Song, as a recognized stock god of the public, have you guessed that your stock will open directly to the daily limit?" A reporter almost stuffed the microphone into Song Weiyang's mouth.

Song Weiyang smiled and said, "First of all, I am not a stock god. Secondly, thank the investors for their kindness."

The reporter said: "Mr. Song is too modest. Last year you predicted that China will usher in a bull market this year. Now your prediction has come true. What is it if it is not a stock god?"

Song Weiyang said: "The Chinese stock market started a good start this year, and the increase was particularly large, mainly due to the further opening up of foreign capital. From the day foreign capital was opened to market in January, a large amount of foreign capital has poured in, which greatly stimulated the Chinese stock market. Xianjiu Group has caught up with a good time."

Another reporter asked: "Mr. Song, then you can predict that Xianjiu will still hit the daily limit tomorrow?"

Song Weiyang resisted the urge to roll his eyes: "I am an entrepreneur, not a fortune teller."

Song Shumin also surrounded many reporters because he was the father of China's richest man, but he refused all interviews after he was released from prison. Over the years, I don't know how many reporters want to interview Song Shumin, but today I finally got a good opportunity.

These reporters asked a few questions about fairy wine, and then brought the topic aside.

The reporter asked: "Mr. Song, how did you raise your two sons so well? Can you reveal the secrets of education?"

Song Shumin asked back: "Are you sure you are a financial reporter, not a gossip reporter?"

Everyone laughed.

The reporter asked again: "As the richest father, you are an entrepreneur yourself. Do you feel pressured in normal times?"

Song Shumin said: "What pressure can you have? Even if he becomes the captain of the earth, he is still my son."

The reporter continued to ask: "Will you discuss business matters with your two sons at home? For example, will you ask Mr. Song Weiyang for his decision-making opinions?"

"Sorry, I don't want to talk about this. Today I will only answer questions about the launch of fairy wine." Song Shumin said with a smile.

The ability to force financial reporters into gossip reporters shows how low-key Song Shumin is usually.

Today, the real protagonist Song Qizhi was ignored, and there were only a few reporters around him.

After another 30 minutes, at exactly 10 o'clock in the morning, Xianjiu resumed trading after hitting the daily limit, and the stock price continued to jump up.

At about 11:20, Xianjiu's stock price finally jumped to 36 yuan, hitting the daily limit again!

This is today's closing price. On the first day of listing of A-shares, there is only one chance of a daily limit resumption, and the highest price must not be higher than 144% of the issue price.

"Smack it!"

The people in the hall stood up together, applause thunderously, celebrating the perfect end of the fairy wine market.

Let’s look at the liquor stocks such as Wuliangye, Luzhou Laojiao, and Moutai, which are also all over the board. Moutai’s stock price has almost risen to 50 yuan, but it fell below 20 yuan three years ago, and has only risen but not fall since then. It is estimated that it will approach the 60 yuan mark in two months. Luzhou Laojiao is even more terrifying. Last year’s financial report was released, and several daily limit increases occurred in January.

The next day, the national financial newspapers published photos of the Song family father and son ringing the gong together.

Three fathers and sons are all rich people... uh, all entrepreneurs!

This situation is more common in the business world. For example, the boss of Sanzhu oral liquid, and his two sons are also in business. But they both do health products business, while the three fathers and sons of the Song family are different. Song Weiyang does beverages and food and high-tech, Song Qizhi manages wine companies, and Song Shumin does real estate.

It is rare for the father and son to do their own things and to do their best in different fields.

The main reporting direction of financial publications is also related to the launch of Xianjiu. Soon other media also made efforts to report the three father and son of the Song family from different angles.

Even a reporter from Xikang Province who had interviewed Song Shumin in depth, quickly published a book this year, titled "The Song Dynasty in the Chinese Business World". This guy took Song Shumin's life experience as the main line, and combined with the deeds of Song Weiyang and Song Qizhi, almost wrote a famous biography, but there were many plots that added fuel to the fire.

The book also speculates the educational model of the Song family, saying that Song Shumin has always been paying attention to the growth of his children and has sent his two children back to the countryside for winter and summer vacation since he was a child. Even after the Song family winery grew up, for a long time, Song Weiyang and Song Qizhi both lived in the countryside and honed their children's will through the arduous rural environment, which laid a solid foundation for the two brothers' future development in the commercial field.

It's all nonsense. Song Shumin left his two sons in the countryside because the couple was too busy with business and could only let their father-in-law and mother-in-law take care of each other!

The reporter also interviewed Song Weiyang's elementary school classmate and recorded many things in his childhood in the book. For example, once, Song Weiyang went to the river with other children to take a bath. Before he could learn to swim, he swam to the middle of the river with a piece of wood. Suddenly he accidentally fell down. Song Weiyang did not panic, but waved his arms to slap the water surface with his breath, and finally touched the piece of wood again, and swam back to the shore quietly.

The friends only found out afterwards that Song Weiyang almost drowned just now.

What does this mean?

This shows that Song Weiyang has dared to take risks since he was a child, and is still calm when encountering crises, and has extremely strong psychological qualities.

In fact, Song Weiyang was so panicked that he forced his eyes to slap and beat them around. He wanted to call for help but choked a few sips of water. It was purely because he was lucky that he was not drowned.

This broken book did not obtain permission from the Song family father and son, so he dared to open up printing and distribution. The genuine book sold more than 300,000 copies in half a year, and the sales of pirated copies were even more difficult to count. In the years that followed, many of the materials reported on the Song family father and son were derived from the records of this book.

Even those educational institutions in society have gained inspiration from this book and started to hold "rural summer camps". They brought the children in the city to the countryside to experience life and cultivate their strong will - with the successful precedent of the two brothers of the Song family, and the children in the city have always been spoiled, this project is really popular.
