After checking the invitation letter and accepting the security check, Chen Qing and Lin Su entered the hall of the NASDAQ Exchange in midtown Manhattan. It was less than 8 a.m., and the hall was already crowded.
The guests invited to the ceremony today are not unknown.
Chen Qing looked around the crowd a little, her eyes lit up slightly, and went straight to the nearest man and woman. Just in time, she took advantage of each other's conversation and said, "good morning, bill, Carly. I hope I didn't disturb you."
"Of course not. Good morning, Chen."
"Good morning."
Bill spelt and Carol Bartz shake their heads together, smile and shake hands with the Chinese girl respectively. After several face-to-face visits, they both have a very good impression of Chen Qing, smart, warm and capable. What's more, this is Simon's woman. According to her subtle words, they both think Chen Qing should be a favorite.
Lin Suke can't do Chen Qing's skill. In her heart, she is lonely and proud. Instinctively, she doesn't want to change herself. After the three people's greeting, she doesn't say goodbye to the two of them.
Both of them are human spirits, and Lin Su's performance is sparse. Neither of them will be too warm and turn to Chen Qing.
Carol Bartz, who is in charge of igritte's software and services business, said: "by the way, Chen, maybe we should have a good chat when we have time. At the last party in San Francisco, what you said about the current situation of China's software industry inspired me a lot. We are planning to build in China recently. As for the future stock price trend, we should also look at the development direction of the whole new technology industry and the Gulf War How long can this wave of bull market cycle of US stock market last.
Moreover, there are many pessimistic views.
, headed by the Wall Street Tiger Fund, Julian Robertson, the hedge fund tycoon, has been playing the bad technology unit recently. It believes that IPO of igritt will be the start of the Internet bubble burst and publicly threatened to short the technology stocks of Weiss Trojan system.
Chen Qing doesn't think so.
According to her own observation, although the stock prices of listed technology companies such as Cisco, AOL and Microsoft are indeed very high, the whole Internet industry has not yet reached its peak. The most powerful proof is that igrit's revenue exceeded the threshold of $10 billion last year, and it still maintained a high-speed performance growth rate of about 70% in the first few quarters of this year, which is far higher than that of other growth enterprises Long.
What's more, the new technology industry is not only in North America, but also has a fairly broad overseas market.
In the Westeros system, to some extent, it is equivalent to a spectator. Chen Qing can see it very clearly.
Globally, the Internet industry of the United States has been ahead of other countries for at least three years. This gap is almost difficult to catch up with. After the establishment of the World Trade Organization last year, with the acceleration of global economic integration and the Internet connecting the world, the United States can just sit on this wind and continue its global expansion outside the United States smoothly, so as to promote the development of the Internet With the strong advantages of the major Internet giants in the United States, it is not impossible to control the global Internet industry.
In this case, the seemingly overheated technology stock market is far from reaching its limit.
In any case, Chen Qing still pays more attention to this investment.
As long as she can earn 30% this time, Chen Qing has her own small Treasury. She doesn't get rid of a man's mind, but hopes to do more things relying on the network resources of the Westeros system. In her heart, the desire to be on top of people did not stop her just to throw away Lin su. She hoped to get more people's hope like some man.
Time flies by in the social intercourse.
After the job adjustment, Tim Berners Lee, who was promoted to Chairman of igritte company, actually retired to the second tier, came to the stage to give a speech, and the time came to 9:30.
The US stock market opened.
The senior management of igritte and several other special guests came to the stage together and pressed the button of igritte stock trading to complete the bell ringing ceremony. In order to give igritte momentum, Simon also appeared on the stage, just surrounded by the crowd in the center.
After the bell ringing ceremony, we will enter the inquiry stage before the new share trading as usual.
Stock traders all over the world began to quote their intended trading prices through electronic trading networks.
The issue price of igritte shares was finally set at $35.
Before listing, the market generally predicted that the peak of igrit's share price today should be around $45, or 30%. However, after five rounds of inquiry lasting for an hour and a half, the opening price of igritte had skyrocketed to US $47.5, or 35.7%, when it officially opened at 11 o'clock.
Regardless of the apparently triggered green shoe mechanism, some additional shares will be issued. According to the total share capital of 4.326 billion shares listed by igrit, the new technology giant's opening market value directly broke through the threshold of $200 billion and reached $205.5 billion.
The market is always irrational.
When the opening market value exceeded most people's expectations, some investors who originally wanted to sell igritte shares for cash after the first day's sharp rise subconsciously covered their accounts. After all, no one lacked a little patience.Maybe there's another wave.
The shortage of circulating stocks in the market further stimulated the stock price of igrit to continue to rise on the first day of opening.
At the reception of the hotel at noon, many guests listened to the latest stock price information and were in a mood of uncertainty. They didn't want to celebrate at all. They wanted to leave their office and stare at the real-time price curve of a stock.
Chen Qing is also repeatedly hesitant, do not know whether to immediately put the hands of all the shares sold out.
Even though she is still optimistic about the long-term trend of igrit, Chen Qing also thinks that the stock price of igrit should be at this level in the future. Even more than 10 to 20 percentage points, it is better for her to cash out as soon as possible and get cash to do other things. Now China is full of opportunities, and it happens that she has accumulated enough resources and contacts to make use of these opportunities.
Hesitating in my heart, I finally couldn't help asking a man's opinion on the stock price potential of igritte at the reception.
At the reception, Simon heard Chen Qing's question and shook his head with a smile: "I don't know where the potential is. However, I don't know where I saw a saying that the time for the capital market to remain irrational is much longer than many people predicted. Everyone thinks that the new technology market has overheated, but maybe this is just the beginning of an irrational period. "
Chen Qing pondered for a moment and said tentatively, "well, Simon, do you think the market value of igritte, eh, can exceed 300 billion?"
Simon reached out and picked out Lin Su's delicate chin, which seemed to be thinking about something. He said with a smile, "300 billion, why not be more bold?"
Chen Qing didn't go to see Lin Su who glared at her eyes because of the men's light picking action. A guy always liked to bully Lin su. In fact, she also liked it. She just tried to say, "500 billion?"
Simon simply did not answer, but changed the topic: "have you ever been back to China recently?"
Chen Qing saw the man change the subject, had to give up questioning, nodded: "I have to go back every month, there is no Lin, she is very hard to read MBA."
"Oh, good girl."
Chen Qing said with a smile, "Lin plans to" master the skills of foreigners to control them. "
When chatting with Simon in private, she always used to use Chinese. However, when she blurted out an ancient Chinese saying, Chen Qing immediately regretted it. In fact, this is Chen Qing's recent private ridicule of Lin su. It only came to light after her export. The meaning of this sentence seems to be a little inappropriate in front of someone.
So I can only expect someone who doesn't understand.
Simon certainly understood, and naturally would not mind, with a tone of ridicule: "not bad, ambitious."
Seeing that Simon didn't mind, Chen Qing was in a good mood. After a little hesitation, she voluntarily confessed that she had pledged SGB shares to subscribe for igrit shares.
Simon finished, glanced at Lin Su, then turned to Chen Qing: "just yourself?"
Chen Qing realized something and quickly tossed the pot: "I want to take Lin with me, but she doesn't want to."
Simon said with a smile, "don't be so careful in the future. You two are one."
"I see."
Chen Qing spat out her tongue slightly, pretended to be cute and agreed, and then stepped forward and took the man's arm: "Simon, how about going to our place tonight?"
Simon shook his head. "Something's up tonight. Next time."
"Next time, when is it?"
"I'll be in New York recently. I'm sure I'll have time."
Yesterday came back from Europe, Janet directly returned to Los Angeles, also said Simon this time can stay in New York, don't go home. In fact, during this period of time, Veronica people assisted Denise entertainment in the annual financial audit in Los Angeles. Ever since a certain identity was discovered, they found that they were getting along with each other in a rather strange atmosphere. Janet didn't want Simon and Veronica to have too much contact.
After getting the man's promise and chatting a few more words, Chen Qing saw that Steve Forbes, CEO of Forbes group, came over with a smile and said hello together. Then she took the initiative to take Lin Su to other places. She couldn't help but remember that she didn't know how much money someone would have on the Forbes rich list this time.
During this period, it happened to be reported that in order to wait for igritte to go public, Forbes magazine postponed the release of the new year's Forbes 400 list of the rich in the United States.
