My capital is quite large.

Chapter 268 Positive Energy

When Li Feng received the final equity dilution plan from the legal and finance departments, he looked at the share capital distribution chart on the computer screen and suddenly smiled with relief.

"So this is the dilution game in the capital market."

According to the original restructuring structure, he personally held 80% of Haofeng Weibo's shares with absolute control, while the Liangjiang Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission held 20%.

Now, with the progress of the Hong Kong stock market public listing process, they need to release a full 20% of the public shares to retail investors and international investment banks across the internet.

According to standard mathematical dilution logic, both original shareholders should reduce their holdings proportionally.

This means that his personal 80% will be diluted to 64%, and the provincial state-owned assets' 20% will also be diluted to 16%.

But the moment Li Feng finished reading the report, he drew a heavy cross on the proposal with a black pen.

"We can't do that. This is absolutely not the time to be greedy for money or haggle over petty gains."

The 20 billion yuan invested by the provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission is not just a construction fund for Haofeng Weibo; it is a protective umbrella that can shield him from the wind and rain.

If the national team is forced to have its equity diluted as soon as they enter the market, it would make him seem like a petty boss with a narrow mind and an ugly attitude.

"Lock up the 20% stake held by the provincial state-owned assets; they won't participate in this round of dilution during the IPO!"

Li Feng threw his pen on the table and gave the order, "The 20% of public shares required for the initial public offering will all be allocated from my personal 80% stake!"

With this back and forth, the provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission's shareholding remained firmly at 20%, while Li Feng's personal shareholding decreased from 80% to 60%.

However, through this complicated restructuring and listing process, Li Feng also realized one thing—he was almost a complete novice when it came to capital operations and financial instruments.

His success was entirely due to his rebirth and foresight, as well as his absolute product monopoly.

However, if he encounters truly knowledgeable international giants who can manipulate capital in future cross-border mergers and acquisitions, he is very likely to be secretly plotted against because he does not understand the underlying financial logic.

"Learning has no end; it seems I should go to school too."

Li Feng chuckled self-deprecatingly and turned to look at Zhang Xinyu beside him.

"Yu Xi, go register me for the Master of Business Administration program at Jinling University."

Li Feng paused for a moment, then said, "I remember you graduated from Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology with a bachelor's degree. I'll submit your application materials along with yours, and let the school be more flexible with your class schedule."

Upon hearing that she could be "classmates" with her boss, Zhang Xinyu's beautiful eyes flashed with undisguised joy, and she nodded repeatedly.

Without any delay, she quickly called the office of the president of Jinling University.

"What?! Comrade Li Feng is coming to our Jinling University to pursue a master's degree?!"

Even through the phone, you could hear President Jin's excited voice, which had become distorted.

"No problem! Everything will be arranged according to Mr. Li's schedule! We'll arrange top-notch courses and mentors! We can even handle the subsequent doctoral studies and special research fellowship program for Mr. Li!"

President Kim's excitement was entirely understandable.

Given Li Feng's current net worth and status, as well as the large amount of donations he has made to Jinling University, he chose his alma mater instead of Tsinghua and Peking Universities, which have greater reputations.

In the eyes of the education sector throughout the province and even the country, this was a gesture that showed great respect to Jin Da!

That's how university is; when you lack ability, you take pride in it.

When you have the ability, the university will be proud of you.

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it was late December. Nanjing welcomed its first heavy snowfall of the winter.

Amidst the heavy snowfall, the annual Haofeng Weibo Night and Coronation Ceremony grandly opened at the Jinling Olympic Sports Center.

To coincide with the Hong Kong stock listing and pre-launch hype in the first half of next year, Li Feng, who usually prefers to stay behind the scenes, has once again stood on the ribbon-cutting stage at the gala after several years.

With the big boss personally backing him up, few in the entire Chinese business community would dare not give him that kind of face.

At the first row of round tables, Jack Ma, Wang Jianlin, Dong Ge, Lei Jun, and other internet and real estate tycoons who usually command attention in the media all came to show their support because of Li Feng's influence.

Moreover, since the province holds a 20% stake, several provincial leaders in charge of culture, entertainment, and the economy are seated in the VIP section tonight.

With a host of big names in attendance, this year's Weibo Night has undergone a significant transformation in style.

Although there were still some entertainment awards that were essentially distributed among the winners, the program and flow of the entire gala were clearly geared towards the main theme and positive energy, with less of the noisy, overly enthusiastic displays of leggy figures and entertainment-obsessed atmosphere of previous years.

As for the ratings?

Among the bigwigs and executives present, it was clear that with the entry of the national team, Weibo's nature had quietly transformed from a fan circle forum to a public opinion arena.

At this juncture, who would dare to shamelessly try to grab attention like before?

The awards ceremony was completely predictable.

The King trophy fell into the hands of Lu Han, whose popularity is soaring, while the Queen's throne was won by Zhao Liying, who dominated the ratings with two leading roles in dramas, "Legend of Lu Zhen" and "Boss & Me".

But none of the bigwigs in the first row of VIP seats paid attention to the coronation on stage.

Amidst the cacophony of music and laser lights, the players at this table, who wager on stakes worth hundreds of billions, are huddled together, quietly discussing future investments in people's livelihoods, the integration of the smartphone supply chain, and the strategic layout of the entire entertainment ecosystem and mobile payment.

"Old Li, I heard your semiconductor phase two plant is almost finished? That's Dongda speed for you, really fast..."

"Mr. Ma, you're joking. It's all thanks to the province's supportive policies..."

……

Late at night, with the host's final countdown, the third Weibo Night came to a successful close.

Outside the exclusive executive lounge in the back office.

Zhao Liying, who had just received the "Weibo Queen" award on stage, was wearing an exquisite haute couture gown and was waiting somewhat nervously in the corridor.

Tonight, she also wanted to follow the example of those senior female students and go to thank the big boss, Li Feng.

However, less than ten minutes later, the door to the lounge opened, and only the president's chief secretary, Zhang Yuxi, came out.

"Liying, it's too late today. The boss won't see you tonight."

Zhang Yuxi stepped forward and stopped her, her tone businesslike yet leaving no room for argument:

"Go back and rest. As for Xie En's matter, I've already arranged it for tomorrow night. I'll send a car to pick you up from your apartment tomorrow."

"The boss is having a closed-door meeting tonight with Jack Ma, General Manager Lei, and several provincial leaders to discuss the upcoming plans for internet finance and physical factory construction. At this level, the boss has no time to discuss anything else."

Hearing Zhang Yuxi's words, Zhao Liying's eyes flashed with disappointment, but she could only obediently hug the pure gold trophy in her arms.

She was very clear about her position. In the face of such a large-scale national industrial layout, she, as a female celebrity, was not even a minor detail.

"Thank you, Secretary Zhang. I'll wait for your call tomorrow."

Zhao Liying bowed slightly and, accompanied by her assistant, obediently left the corridor.
