Chapter 3329 Celebrating Victory
After the listing ceremony, Zhang Tan led Xi'er down from the bell-ringing platform, followed closely by Wang Shilong.
In the first row of the viewing area, Xiaobai suddenly stood up, her eyes sparkling.
Liuliu was already clapping impatiently, but Dudu gently pulled her hand back: "Celebrate later!"
Flashbulbs went off one after another in the media area, all focused on Xi'er, the little girl in a pale yellow dress holding a miniature bell hammer, who was the most special focus of the entire event at that moment.
Reporters tried to push forward to conduct interviews, but were politely stopped by staff behind the yellow line.
"Congratulations, Mr. Zhang!"
"Mr. Wang, the stock price opened very well!"
Several acquaintances from the institutional investor area came over to shake hands and offer their congratulations. Zhang Tan responded to each of them with humility, his left hand always holding Xi'er's.
Xi'er tilted her little face up, trying her best to maintain the dignified smile her godfather had taught her, but the smile couldn't hide her childlike excitement, and her eyes curved into crescents.
At 9:40, Zhang Tan and his entourage left the exchange through the VIP passage.
Before getting into the car, he turned to the deputy general manager of the exchange who was seeing him off and solemnly said, "Thank you for the exchange's support. Little Red Horse Music will continue to focus on content and do valuable things. Let's arrange a time to have dinner together sometime."
The exchange's vice president smiled, nodded, and said "okay."
The atmosphere inside the black minivan finally relaxed as it drove away from the financial district.
Liuliu was the first to shout, "Xier, you looked so impressive when you rang the bell! Can I see that little hammer?"
I suspect that's her real purpose.
Xi'er carefully handed over the miniature bell hammer she had been holding. She had been told she could take it as a souvenir after the bell was rung.
The hammerhead is wrapped in soft brown leather, and the handle is engraved with the words "XHM-001".
Liu Liu held it in both hands and said excitedly, "Wow, wow! This mallet feels so good, hahaha. If I were to go up on stage and ring the bell, I could ring it even louder so the whole building could hear it."
Xiao Bai said, "Why are you shouting so loudly!"
Liuliu said seriously, "Hey Xiaobai, you don't understand. When you ring the bell, you have to be loud, the louder the better. The louder the sound, the higher the stock price, and the more money we have."
Xiao Bai laughed, "Liuliu, I really didn't expect that! You can't even take a single dollar out of your pocket, yet you seem to have a lot of expertise in making money, hahaha~"
Robin laughed along with hiahia.
Liuliu rolled her eyes at the aunt and niece, wanting to give Xiaobai a good whack with the stick in her hand, to teach her the consequences of a sharp tongue.
"Let me see the hammer." Xiaobai snatched the hammer, looked at it, and seriously commented, "It's a bit heavier than I expected."
She asked, "Happy Baby, what were you thinking when you rang the bell?"
Xi'er blinked and said seriously, "I'm thinking... Godfather's stock price should be high, the higher the better, hehe~"
Just as Zhang Tan was about to speak, his phone vibrated; it was a message from Lin Wan.
"Within half an hour of trading, the stock price remained stable in the range of 31.5-32.2 yuan, with a turnover rate of 8%, showing steady performance."
The Happy Doll truly lives up to its reputation as the reincarnation of the God of Happiness; whatever it says comes true.
He replied to Lin Wan with a message: "A light lunch celebration will be held at the company cafeteria at noon."
At 11:00 AM, at the headquarters of Little Red Horse Music Company.
The open-plan office area has been set up. There are no exaggerated decorations, just a small potted plant next to each workstation. A custom-made celebration cake has been placed in the break room, with a small red horse logo and the words "Good Luck on the Listing" made of icing on it.
Although the employees were still at their workstations, the atmosphere was noticeably different. People were constantly refreshing their stock trading software and whispering among themselves.
"It's gone up another 0.3%!"
"The cultural sector performed well overall today..."
……
When Zhang Tan arrived with everyone, all the employees spontaneously applauded. Most of them had followed the company from its inception to where it is today and knew the effort behind each milestone.
Zhang Tan walked to the open space in the center of the office area, his voice calm yet clear, reaching every corner: "Today's bell ringing is not the end, but a new beginning. Going public means greater responsibility—to shareholders, to users, and to every listener who loves our music."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over the familiar faces: "But what I really want to say is that no matter where the company goes, our original aspirations will never change: to make good music, create good content, and let our work speak for itself. Everyone will receive a bonus this month, which will be deposited into their salary account along with their paycheck!"
Applause and cheers rang out again! This time, some people's eyes were red. Four years ago, they were still in the office of Little Red Pony Academy, which only had two floors and everyone was crammed together.
Wang Shilong took the microphone, his tone more impassioned than Zhang Tan's. He said, "We'll have a simple lunch, and the cafeteria will add more dishes! Everyone will leave two hours early this afternoon. Of course, colleagues with urgent projects will have to work overtime!"
Amidst the laughter, the tense atmosphere completely relaxed.
……
In the company cafeteria, long tables were laden with food. It wasn't a lavish banquet, but rather home-style dishes that the employees liked, including sweet and sour pork ribs, steamed sea bass, garlic broccoli, tomato and egg soup, and several large pizzas.
Zhang Tan did not set up a separate leadership seat, but instead sat with several early employees.
Xiaobai and her group of girlfriends sat at another table. Liuliu had a mountain of food piled up in front of her, while Dudu supervised from the side: "Liuliu, take less. It'll be a waste if you can't finish it! Nobody's going to take it from you here."
"I'm celebrating! Celebrating means eating and drinking to my heart's content!"
Liuliu said confidently, picking up a piece of pork rib. She hadn't come out to support Boss Zhang; she wasn't after much, just this lunch!
She didn't even ask for an appearance fee!
Wang Dashan brought over a tray with several drinks and gave one to each of them.
“Thank you, Your Majesty!” Liuliu said.
Wang Dashan laughed and said, "You're welcome."
Liuliu's eyes darted around, and she said, "Your Majesty, when can we cooperate again? The last time we cooperated, it went very well, and this time it will definitely be even better."
Wang Dashan thought Liuliu was talking about making a movie, so he immediately nodded: "Okay, thank you for your help, Liuliu."
Liu Liu laughed heartily: "You're welcome, you're welcome. When are you releasing a new song? Call me when you do, I'll sing along for you."
Wang Dashan then understood what Liuliu meant by collaboration; it turned out to be Da Yanyan's musical dream. He could only nod with a smile and agree for now.
He doesn't have any plans to release new songs recently, but Li Yuxiao invited him to sing a duet, which he has already accepted.
Li Yuxiao was also at this table, eating with the children, and said with a smile, "Liuliu, has your singing improved recently?"
Little White chimed in, "When she sings, all the little red horse kids run away, even the parrots run away!"
Everyone at the table burst into laughter. Surprisingly, Liuliu wasn't angry. Instead, she smiled and said, "Don't listen to Xiaobai's nonsense. Robin can testify that she really enjoys listening to me sing, right, Robin?"
Robin said angrily, "You always make me push that machine for you! I don't want to push it next time!"
Since Liuliu can't catch Dudu now, she always catches Robin to do chores. Robin looks gloomy on the one hand, but on the other hand, he wants to play with Liuliu.
Liu Liu's face instantly darkened. She felt that Robin was disrespecting her. It was outrageous for him to say such things in this setting. If this were her daughter, she would have given her a good talking-to!
