蔡志堅:AMTD的新2.0時代 — 在紐約證券交易所的演講
2019年8月5日,亞洲第一大獨立民營投資銀行尚乘國際(AMTD International, NYSE: HKIB)成功在美國紐約證券交易所IPO掛牌交易。這是迄今為止第一家在美國資本市場上市的香港金融機構集團,同時也是唯一一家在美國上市、由中國人自己創立的亞洲本土投行。尚乘國際本次IPO發行募集資金2.0億美元,發行後市值超過20億美元,成為目前美國資本市場上市值最高的五大獨立投資銀行(Independent Investment Banks)之一。
尚乘國際創始人、董事局主席兼首席執行官蔡志堅受邀在紐約證券交易所演講致辭,全新闡釋尚乘AMTD的新2.0時代:
各位嘉賓、朋友們、夥伴們,
感謝紐約證券交易所,感謝為了這個重要日子撥冗光臨的每一位!
在這裡,我想與各位分享一個尚乘的故事,這個故事源於16年前。當年李嘉誠先生旗下的長江和記實業集團創建了尚乘,公司名字的四個英文字母(AMTD)分別是加(Add)、減(Minus)、乘(Times)、除(Divide)英文單詞的首字母,象徵著尚乘從第一天開始,就注入了創新的基因,朝著大數據與金融服務的方向成長。
2015年,我帶領著一支充滿獅子山精神、源自香港的專業人士團隊進入尚乘,推動尚乘的改革重組,使尚乘轉型成為一家成熟專業、面向全球市場的綜合性金融機構,並重新賦予尚乘新的核心價值觀:願景(Aspiration)、動力(Momentum)、合作(Teamwork)和決心(Determination)。我們秉承創業、創新和普惠金融的精神,將尚乘建設和發展成為新經濟領域的領先金融機構,在製定業務方向和連接商業夥伴、核心客戶的過程中,積極採用人工智能(AI)、自動化系統(Machine)、新技術(Technology)和數字化服務(Digitalisation)。我希望通過打造尚乘獨具特色的生態系統,構建屬於我們的金融服務世界,賦能我們的客戶、股東、被投資公司和各方利益相關者,使他們互聯互通,為每一方創造最大化的價值,這就是我們的“AMTD SpiderNet”生態系統。
今天,我非常榮幸能夠站在紐約證券交易所的舞台上,站在三百年華爾街歷史的濫觴,回首往昔,展望未來。在我看來,AMTD這四個字母在今天有了全新的含義:
A- Adventure:這是過去幾年來,在各位的支持下,尚乘與諸位客戶、合作夥伴、股東與被投資公司共同努力奮鬥經歷的一段精彩的旅程(Adventure);
M - Mission:作為第一家在紐約證券交易所上市的香港金融機構和亞洲獨立投資銀行,擁抱美國市場、走上國際化發展道理,讓中國人創立的投資銀行真正站立在華爾街之巔,這將是所有尚乘同仁矢志不渝的使命(Mission)與願景;
T- Teamwork:尚乘發展到今天的成績,離不開我們團隊合作(Teamwork)的共同努力,在此我也向每一位為今天上市做出貢獻的AMTD同仁表達誠摯的感謝;
D - Destination:我們一直把紐交所視為我們的第一個上市目的地(Destination),這裡是華爾街歷史的源頭,也是現代金融資本世界的殿堂。我們希望以紐交所為起點,從這裡走向世界。
今天,尚乘國際在紐約證券交易所上市,這是尚乘發展歷程中的重要里程碑,但我們決不會就此止步,尚乘2.0時代將從今天開始!有著你們的支持,我們對尚乘的前途發展充滿信心,我們對香港的繁榮穩定充滿信心,我們對中國的偉大復興充滿信心!謝謝大家!

Thank you NYSE! Thank you everyone for joining us for our special day!
Now, I want to tell you all about a story of AMTD, a story which started some 16 years ago, the year when Mr. Li Ka-Shing, CK Hutchison created AMTD and gave us our name which stands for abbreviation of Add, Minus, Times, Divide, number correlation, big data and financial services. In 2015, I brought into AMTD a team of HK professionals, with Lion Rock's spirit from our heart, transforming AMTD into a full fledged financial institution, we see the core values of the NEW AMTD as Aspiration, Momentum, Teamwork and Determination. We uphold the spirit of entrepreneurship, innovation and financial inclusion along the way we build and develop AMTD into a leading financial institution in the new economy world, we embrace AI, Machine, Technology and Digitalisation along the way we map out our business directions, partners and core clients. I envision to build our own financial services world by creating our proprietary eco-system, one that would empower and enable the inter-connectivity of our clients, shareholders, stakeholders and portfolio companies, maximizing and creating values for everyone, THIS, is our AMTD SpiderNet.
Now, I am so much honored and proud to be here today. Up on the stage of NYSE, thank you once again for all your support. I see AMTD 4 letters as something very different today:
A- I see that it's an ADVENTURE we all have been through together in the past years, on the back of many layers of friendship, partnership and trust;
M - I see it as a MISSION for all AMTD staffs to take on, being the first hk financial institution and the first Asia independent investment bank to achieve NYSE listing, we will embrace the US market and march our road of internationalisation ;
T - it's definitely our TEAMWORK to make us successful, to all AMTD staffs, each of you are contributing to the listing today - thank you sincerely to each of you;
D - we always see NYSE as our first DESTINATION to list, to go global.
We will not stop here, but seeing today as an opening up of a new era, AMTD 2.0 will start today and we are CONFIDENT because of all of your support and partnership. Thank you all once again!
