Rakuten reported on November 9
36Kr (NASDAQ: krkr) was listed on the NASDAQ yesterday with an offering of 1,380,000 ads at an issue price of $14.5, raising approximately $24.15 million.
36Kr's fundraising is mainly used to enhance content products, expand business service scope, customer base and service depth, improve data analysis and technical capabilities, and supplement working capital.
Based on the issue price, the market value of 36Kr is about 500 million to 600 million US dollars, and 36Kr has become the first overseas listed stock of the domestic new economy service.
Feng Dagang, CEO of 36Kr, said in his listing speech that in the more than a year since the sprint listing, there have been difficulties and obstacles, ups and downs, and finally the 36Kr team stood on the NASDAQ.
"The miracle has not ended, the new economy itself still has huge room for development and efficiency improvement, and all traditional industries will be reshaped by the new economy." Therefore, the listing is just the beginning, it means more that we have the opportunity to further improve our service capabilities and let more people see the future. ”
Feng Dagang said that thinking about the future is extremely exciting, like standing in a sparkling harbor looking into the distance, full of expectations for the upcoming new world.
The following is the full text of Feng Dagang's speech:
November 8 is China's Journalists' Day and the day 36Kr is listed. "Some people asked me how I felt about the whole process of going public over the past year or so, and I said it was difficult and dangerous, ups and downs, but in the end, we stood here. Because of your support, the support of all shareholders and the common support of many new economy companies, we are here. ”
Thinking back to the 2016 annual meeting, I told everyone that we want to make a 103-year-old company, and the mark of the first three years of completion is going public, and now we have really achieved it. We have reason to be proud of what we say we do.
Feng Dagang said, why is the ratio of 3 to 100? Because it's easy for us as a company to live healthily, it's too difficult to get tens of millions of business customers and hundreds of millions of users to get better because of our presence.
I often chat with my colleagues and ask them what they are most proud of? Almost all of their answers have to do with helping others, from startups to big companies to investment institutions to local governments and countless individual users. In the past 9 years, we have done the "docking" thing at least hundreds of thousands of times, we are the best red brides, consultants and loyal partners in the new economy industry, and we have made the new economic miracle come earlier.
But the miracle has not yet ended, the new economy itself still has huge room for development and efficiency improvement, and all traditional industries will be reshaped by the new economy. Therefore, the listing is just the beginning, it means more that we have the opportunity to further improve our service capabilities and let more people see the future.
I'm thrilled to think about the future, and I hope you feel the same way: standing in a sparkling harbor and looking into the distance, looking forward to the new world that is coming.
Come on, my Kryptonian classmates; come on, new economy sailors! Let's have fun today, the new centenary, starting tomorrow.
