"Duke, you have to take time to go there anyway today," said Cai Siqiang, softly, "This is our first listed company. Whether the first gong is ringing sounds or not, Sirius' listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is a new beginning of our development. In the future, SAL's companies will begin to gradually enter the market and become public companies in the market, which will help our company further expand and establish an international transparent image."

After winning the Nobel Prize, Duke frequently appeared in various media. The frequency of exposure has exceeded that of all stars, catching up with national leaders. There is no way. Now Duke is the dual identity of chief scientist of the Saal Enterprise Group and vice president of the Official Academy of Sciences. He has to attend and deal with it on many occasions.

Therefore, although Sirius' listing plays an extremely important role for SAL, Duke believes that having Cai Siqiang attend the opening ceremony of the Stock Exchange is enough. This kind of superficial work that shows up in public is really a destruction of his own work. As the chief scientist of SAL Group, he has to solve the most important and difficult technical problems every day so that each project will not be stuck on a certain issue.

This has been a practice that has been formed over the years. Duke is responsible for the macro architecture design and support of core key algorithms, so it ensures that almost all the following R&D projects are on the right path and have won a lot of time for R&D progress. Although this R&D model highly relies on Duke's technical grasp ability, according to general views, the risks are extremely high. After all, a person always has something to think carefully, and relying entirely on one person to guide the way forward is too risky.

But Duke seems to have surpassed all technical gods, and can always find suitable solutions to various difficult problems. With more such things, there are now a blind obedience mentality. For the long-term development of the company, this method may imprison everyone's enthusiasm and creativity, making it rely too much on Duke's judgment.

But at this stage, this is indeed the most efficient way. It saves a lot of time to take detours, making R&D work always run on the most correct path and achieves results quickly.

"Caicai, what's the difference between going to do this kind of thing? It's just a form of left and right. You know I'm so busy now," Duke looked at Cai Siqiang helplessly and said, "I have to deal with many things in R&D. This morning, that boy Dong Feng asked me to go to his base because something seemed wrong with their fire control system and could not always lock in the tracked mobile strike target."

"It doesn't matter if you ask them to stop work for a day. This kid knows to cause trouble." Cai Siqiang said with some annoyance. He was not very optimistic about military industry. Duke captured the Global Hawk. It is still a high-secret state secret. Duke didn't even dare to tell these people around him. He was afraid that the more they knew, the more dangerous they would know.

"I dare not delay Sirius' listing, this is the only time in my life," Cai Siqiang continued, "According to the prediction and analysis of stock experts, whether you have any problems with SAL's positioning and prospects for Sirius, and the stock price on the first day will affect at least 20%. It can be said that your appearance is worth more than billions of dollars!"

According to the current stock issuance of Sirius Company, the total share capital is one billion shares, of which 100 million shares were issued. According to Hong Kong accounting standards, Sirius' main business income in the previous year was HK$116.2 billion, the main business profit was HK$45.2 billion, and the net profit was HK$25 billion, which means that the earnings per share was HK$25. The underwriters priced at a high price-to-earnings ratio of 20 times, and the issuance price per share was as high as HK$500.

Such high pricing is a bit unacceptable even if Hong Kong people are used to seeing the world. Many stock critics say that the risk of underwriting this time by underwriters exceeds 40%. However, Cai Siqiang insists on high pricing. In his opinion, this is the face of the sal company, and the first shot must be well shot. Sirius' positioning is now in addition to the navigation device, SAL will be installed in the automotive intelligent electronics in the future. Therefore, Cai Siqiang believes that with the cooperation between SAL and Qiyang Group and Lao Li's family, Sirius will continue to develop rapidly.

In this case, setting a high price is conducive to maintaining Sirius' international image.

This is also the reason why Cai Siqiang is anxious to let Duke come forward. With Duke's current image as he is at its peak, it will definitely add a lot of quality to Sirius' opening.

"Okay, you've defeated me," Duke said helplessly and agreed, "Actually, as long as our company is done well, why worry about the stock price not rising? We don't expect to make money from the stock market anyway."

"This is different. Having a good corporate image also has great benefits for the promotion of corporate products. Only after listing will people recognize you as a responsible company, because after listing, there are many more supervision methods to prevent companies from messing around." Cai Siqiang said seriously.

Now Sal's companies are indeed not short of money. Almost every company is contributing cash flow continuously, making Sal's expansion almost impossible to lack funds, so there is no need to simply go public to make money. Cai Siqiang is considering that in the future, it is necessary to standardize the company, and all its companies will inevitably embark on this road to listing.

So he had to become famous at the beginning and set a good start for the subsequent companies to go public one after another. As a company leader, Cai Siqiang's thoughts are really understandable. It is natural to invite Duke to show off.

"Okay, okay, just do what you said, when will you go?" Duke knew that he couldn't refuse this matter. To put it bluntly, this matter should have been justified. Although Cai Siqiang is now famous as a business genius and has a very famous reputation in the business circle, for the public, it is obvious that Duke, the new Nobel Prize winner, is more worthy of recognition.

With Duke's appearance, Cai Siqiang once again took the banner of being the chief scientist of Sirius. For investors, it was a great shot of a heart-warming shot.

On January 2, 2017, Duke sounded the opening gong on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Sirius Company officially landed on the Hong Kong stock market and became the most optimistic capital darling in the eyes of global investment institutions. On the day of listing, the stock price directly doubled and broke through the Hong Kong dollar integer mark of 1,000 and maintained to the close, setting a new record for the unit price of Hong Kong stocks.

Sirius' listing was completely beyond the expectations of stock critics. It was a great success. Duke's wealth increased sharply, and it owned a listed company with a share price of more than 100 billion US dollars for the first time.
