Chapter 833 New Forces in the Internet Industry
Even with some turmoil, the first day of performance of NetEase stock on Nasdaq still ended with a weak rally.
In any case, this at least changed the tragic fate of being listed and broke in the previous life.
As for the undercurrent surging under the calm surface, Wu Tao didn't think it was a big problem.
Because when the public opinion is so unfavorable to Netease, the stock price can still be pulled up on the first day, which is enough to prove that the eyes of the majority of investors are discerning.
But as the CEO, Ding Lei doesn't think so.
He even speculated that this was a kind of malice against NetEase by the American people.
On the way back to the hotel, Ding Lei kept talking about this matter, causing Wu Tao's head to hurt, but he still couldn't escape...
But apart from Ding Lei, Netease's other executives who hold shares are all cheerful, looking at the situation with a smile.
After all, among them, the worst guy is worth tens of millions of dollars.
This kind of wealth, back in China before 2000, would definitely sweep a large area of existence.
This year, for them, is a year in which their dreams come true and a year in which they reach the pinnacle.
Of course, for Xue Jiaqian, the same thing is a little less meaningful, but it is still a great achievement.
At least, the VC venture capital project of Netease has made a great start for Apocalypse Investment in the Internet field.
Invisibly, it also further enhanced the influence of Apocalypse Investment in the industry. This, both domestically and abroad.
Therefore, at the end of the day, Xue Jiaqian walks with wind, and after receiving Wu Tao's order to "fight against the short sellers", she is full of energy.
After all, if NetEase's stock price rises a little bit more, it means that Tianqi Investment's shares can earn a little bit more.
This point is not a little bit, but tens of millions of dollars.
For the high-spirited Xue Jiaqian, this is tantamount to snatching food from a tiger's mouth. The only choice is to stay with her to the end.
The next day, Wu Tao woke up a little late.
It was really because Ding Lei pestered and chatted for a long time last night, and it was only in the middle of the night that he was able to lie down.
After washing up, I was about to order something to eat, when there was a hasty knock on the door.
Wu Tao responded, and Xue Jiaqian, who had changed into a beige professional suit, walked in hurriedly, holding a stack of documents in her hand.
Seeing Wu Tao's poor condition, Xue Jiaqian immediately said: "Boss, are you just waking up?"
Wu Tao waved his hand, "Don't mention it! I didn't sleep until midnight last night, and I have only slept for less than five hours. By the way, what do you want?"
"Oh, it's like this, boss. I analyzed yesterday's NetEase stock transaction volume and trading volume analysis overnight, and decided to invest 10 million US dollars in advance to deal with short positions."
Wu Tao murmured, "Will it be a little less like this? What's the basis?"
Xue Jiaqian pointed to him while talking with the information: "Actually, I found that the mainstream of the stock market is still bullish on NetEase. This wave of low-selling short orders is too deliberate, and the strength is not strong."
"In this case, I will do as you said." Wu Tao nodded and said, "It's time to return today, what time is the plane?"
Xue Jiaqian closed the document and said, "2 o'clock in the afternoon." After saying that, she hesitated and said, "It's just that there are still some problems with Mr. Ding."
"What's wrong with him? He was so late last night, isn't it enough?" Wu Tao stared.
Xue Jiaqian covered her mouth and said, "He said, in such a situation, I have no face to face Jiang Dong's elders."
"Nonsense!" Wu Tao stood up, and now that NetEase's listing is over, although there are people making troubles in the stock price, staying in New York is useless.
As for saying that he has no face to face Jiangdong's elders, it is purely hypocritical!
Wu Tao waved his hand and said, "Okay, just leave this matter alone. I'll go find him after dinner."
After tidying up briefly, Wu Tao left Ding Lei next door alone and went downstairs to eat.
As a five-star hotel, in the land of New York, where every inch of land is expensive, in fact, the room type does not have an advantage in all aspects. The only thing worthy of praise is the restaurant and food here.
In the brightly lit and luxuriously decorated restaurant, elegant jazz music is flowing, and people of all colors are talking and laughing, enjoying delicious food and talking in low voices while walking around.
Accompanied by Song Zhuang, Wu Tao walked in, and at a glance, he saw several executives of NetEase, surrounded by a group of foreigners, talking loudly, their faces overflowing with pride.
Wu Tao didn't go over to join in the fun, but picked out some delicious food, went to a secluded corner and sat down to enjoy it alone.
It was a noisy day in the middle of the night. Although I was mainly a melon-eating crowd, my heart followed the roller coaster of the stock price, and I unknowingly consumed a lot.
Especially in the middle of the night yesterday, listening to Ding Lei talk about his struggle history over and over again, it was really torture.
But there is no way, the drinking was suggested by him, so he can only bear the consequences of this guy drinking too much.
How could Wu Tao think that this guy drank too much and didn't sleep, but instead talked nonsense even more energetically.
After tasting the caviar and black truffle, Wu Tao decisively gave up these two, and turned to the solid steak and bacon.
In contrast, the latter is more puffy.
Just when the hunger in his stomach had just disappeared, a curvaceous figure stood gracefully in front of him with a plate in his hand, pointed to the empty seat opposite and said, "Excuse me, can I sit here?"
Wu Tao looked up, and it turned out to be the glamorous Panis.
Usually with girlfriends like Molly and Ivanka, Panis is indifferent, like a passerby.
Dressed up like this today, it turned out to be no less glamorous.
Sure enough, there are no ugly women, only lazy ones.
Wu Tao got up immediately, and while helping the other party to open the chair, he said, "Please sit down, Panis, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Panis thanked him first, and then said with a smile: "This hotel is managed by Nikki, why is it so strange that I appear here? What's more, the sudden rise of Huaxia NetEase has injected new energy into the Internet industry, which has always been threatened by the bubble theory. How can I, as a person in the financial industry, miss such a grand event?"
Panis spoke American English very quickly, Wu Tao had to react for a few seconds before he figured out what she meant.
"That's an exaggeration."
Panis raised his eyebrows lightly, "The mainstream media in New York today, including the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times, are all talking about this. Does Mr. Wu think they are wrong?"
Wu Tao sneered, the media turned quickly enough.
Although public opinion is beneficial to Netease, exaggeration is exaggeration, and Wu Tao will not be complacent because of this.
So in response to Panis' question, Wu Tao said frankly: "Panis, I think that the rise of China's Internet industry will not change the fate of the collapse of the US Internet industry..."
It is still quite difficult to write a violation if you are not careful. Please count the votes by the way, thank you!
