Chapter 832 Time Changes, Everything Will Be Different
"It's so poisonous. The Wall Street Journal said that the reasonable price of NetEase's stock is around $10..."
Ding Lei shook off the newspaper in his hand, and said rather angrily, "Fuck it, isn't this a curse that we will break the stock when we go public, and we will be cut in half if we fall?"
Wu Tao didn't care.
Today, almost dozens of the most influential newspapers and magazines in New York are here.
What Wu Tao cares about is not how many media are on Netease's side. What he cares about is how many companies here have talked about the listing of NetEase.
As long as the stock of Netease Technology can become the focus of public opinion in major financial media today, then the result of Netease's listing tomorrow should not be too bad.
As for the real value of NetEase stock, whether it is higher than the issue price of 15.5 US dollars, or only worth 10 US dollars as stated in the Wall Street Journal, the majority of shareholders naturally have a scale in their hearts.
Meanwhile, Berkshire's Los Angeles branch.
As a person in the financial industry, Howard has always paid more attention to financial reports, which is also a habit he and his family's fathers have learned.
When he saw the news of Huaxia NetEase's listing for the first time, he didn't care.
However, several newspapers in succession expressed concern about this Huaxia company, and even discussed it seriously, so he had to pay attention.
Almost out of professional habit, Howard casually ordered his secretary to collect the shareholder register of NetEase.
Not long after, when Howard saw Apocalypse Investment listed in the shareholder register, he almost jumped up excitedly.
It seems that at this time, that Huaxia Wu should not be in Los Angeles anymore.
The entrusting person asked, and it was true.
This is simply a once in a lifetime opportunity! The successive declines of America Online in the past few days really frustrated him.
From the beginning of independent control of the family business, Howard has been going smoothly, and has never encountered such a big defeat.
Now that the opportunity finally came, he decided to let Wu Tao have a taste of this frustration.
Thinking of this, Howard picked up his cell phone and dialed a familiar number.
After a while, a slightly feminine male voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hi, this is Figo Morgan!"
"Oh, Figo, it's me, Howard."
"Oh, Howard, how are you doing recently?" The other party's voice was gloating: "I heard that your recent investment is not going well~"
"Please, Figo, don't mention it!" Howard couldn't wait to get straight to the point: "I want to ask you, what do you think of China's NetEase listing?"
"Oh, that small Internet company in China?" Figo's voice was obviously contemptuous. It seems that his gloating at Howard just now was not intentional, but that he did it to everyone.
In fact, it's no wonder that as the new generation of young talents of the Morgan family, there are not many people in this world who can catch the eye, whether it's people or things.
Figo continued slowly: "I didn't think much about it, but I guess the valuation in the Wall Street Journal is reasonable."
"You mean $10?" Howard slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "It's exactly what I thought! Figo, why don't we join hands and take this opportunity to play?"
Figo said with a lack of interest: "Short NetEase stock? What's so fun about it?"
Howard strongly invited: "Anyway, idle is idle, spend 10 million dollars to play and earn some pocket money! I heard that you plan to buy a private jet, and all the money I win will be sponsored by you."
When it came to this, Figo couldn't tolerate not agreeing: "Okay then, I will also offer 10 million US dollars to play with you."
Figo Morgan hung up the phone, and when he turned around, he saw Meimei Panis walking towards him.
The siblings were not born to the same mother, so they were not close to each other. Coupled with the relationship between the new generation of competitors of the Morgan family, there is even a faint rivalry between them.
"Figo, are you going to short Huaxia NetEase's stock?" Obviously, Panis overheard Figo's call.
Figo said with a displeased face: "No, no, a small Chinese company is not worth my hands. You must have heard it wrong!"
Faced with Figo's categorical denial, Parnis didn't bother to argue, but said indifferently: "Since this is the case, it would be best. Because as far as I know, this Huaxia Internet technology company has a lot of background. It has expert guidance behind it, but it is not so easy to break!"
In this case, Figo naturally couldn't listen.
In his opinion, the slightest turmoil in this small Chinese company without a foundation will cause stock price fluctuations.
If you want to play a game and earn some pocket money, it is not difficult at all.
January 29, the thirteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.
Ding Lei, who stayed up all night, specially invited a professional stylist to create his image.
Also enjoying this treatment are the radiant Xue Jiaqian and several co-founders of NetEase.
Regardless of whether it is a break in the IPO or a big increase in sales, today's platform and bell-ringing procedures must be done very well.
You must not embarrass us in Huaxia.
An hour later, Ding Lei, who was ready to go, walked out of the suite according to the secretary's arrangement. When he was about to have breakfast, he met Wu Tao who had just woken up at the door with a relaxed expression on his face.
Seeing Ding Lei's sunken and lifeless eye sockets, Wu Tao couldn't help laughing, "What's going on, like you're on the execution ground?"
Ding Lei could only reciprocate with a wry smile.
Wu Tao patted him on the shoulder and said: "Okay, even if you want to go to the execution ground, you have to be generous. Keep up your spirits, we are here to collect the capital of American investors, and we can't be inferior to those revolutionary martyrs!"
"Boss, are you trying to comfort someone..." Although Ding Lei still had a bitter face, being able to say this made him feel a lot more relaxed.
Ring the bell, go public, and the process is glamorous.
It seems that all of this is a ceremony prepared for the next ruthless fight in the capital market.
After the bell rang, NetEase shares were officially listed at US$15.5 per share.
In the first five minutes, the stock price dropped from 15.5 US dollars to around 15 US dollars, which immediately made Ding Lei's heart ache!
"It's over, it's over, I'm going to break the market when I really TM..."
But no one expected that after 5 minutes from the initial freezing point, the trading volume of NetEase stock soared.
Affected by it, the stock price also rebounded from the low of 15 US dollars and soared all the way.
By the time we had lunch, the stock price had soared to $17!
Now Ding Lei finally had the appetite to eat. In the cafeteria, he ate three or four plates in a row.
It's just that the good times don't last long. When Ding Lei was about to continue feasting to make up for the shortfall in the past few days, news came from the stock market that someone was buying high and selling low, shorting NetEase stock.
Ding Lei suddenly lost his appetite and looked at Wu Tao anxiously.
Wu Tao didn't eat much at all, and without even thinking about it, he ordered Xue Jiaqian: "Follow them! I have confidence in NetEase stock!"
After all, the half-day performance of NetEase's listing is enough to show the confidence of shareholders in it.
As long as there are no large institutions to specialize in shorting, this little trouble will not shake the determination of NetEase's stock price to rise!
Anyway, what Wu Tao is certain of is that in his previous life, NetEase's company broke when it was listed, and it will never happen.
Now that times have changed and times have changed, there is no need for me to be tied up, so roll up your sleeves and work hard!
After all, this is also related to the realization of 30% of the stocks held by Tianqi Investment!
