Chapter 242 Money Really Doesn't Matter
On Wednesday, April 28, it was a very special day when two of William White's stocks IPO on the same day.
Although there are other companies listed on this day, there is no doubt that the person who rings the gong of the exchange must be William White.
An extremely embarrassing scene appeared, the market opened for fifteen minutes, and there was no transaction.
"Filson, what's going on? Has it happened before?"
"Ahem, boss, there are, but not many, under normal circumstances, this is caused by the reluctance of shareholders to sell. ”
"Okay, let's wait. ”
The price of 20 US dollars is obviously a bit underestimated, well, although this is already very powerful.
The price of the first transaction is fixed at 25 US dollars.
When the scene erupted in warm applause, William White was still a little embarrassed, he was still wondering, isn't the old guy from Citi cheating me?
As the first deal is made, the price of the stock rises alternately. Such a violent rise directly stunned people.
When the price suddenly reached $30 per share, the whole world fell silent.
That's too fierce, isn't it?
Two companies with a market capitalization of tens of billions of dollars?
Do you dare to be a little more outrageous?
William White left, and the group went straight to the Rockefeller Building, where the NBC was located, and he needed to be here for an interview.
"Boss, can we get started?"
"Ready to start. ”
Today's William White is used to seeing the so-called big scenes, although he is a little excited now, but he is also very well covered up.
Today's William White wears a crisp professional suit, signature short hair, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.
It's kind of like that.
The glasses are just flat so they don't look too young. In his current status, he can be regarded as an old traitor, well, except for the young and unspeakable age.
"Mr. White, first of all, congratulations on the successful IPO of your shares. ”
"Haha, thank you, Lisa. ”
"Mr. White, the two companies suddenly have a market value of 10 billion at the same time, you must be in a very good mood now, right?"
"It was true when I was in the trading center, my blood pressure and heart rate were much higher than usual, and if I had a choice, it was better not to go, it was not very good for my body. ”
The beautiful anchor is very speechless, what is the answer.
"So, you're pretty happy with the current share price. ”
"Satisfied? Well, sort of, to be honest, according to the current revenue, it may be a bit overestimated, but there is no big problem, my company is very suitable for long-term investment, and there will be very good dividends." ”
"Mr. White, as a new company, shouldn't the funds raised continue to be invested?"
"Investment? Well, you want to increase R&D investment, right?"
"Yes, that's what I meant. ”
"It's not really needed, our cash flow is very good, and the development of the new system is underway, so it doesn't take much money. ”
"I take the liberty of asking, since there is no need for funds, are you suffering a little in your IPO now?"
"No, no, you're wrong, my idea is to share wealth, share the development of the company, remember, the word sharing, in fact, is the foundation of the dream of the United States, and it is also the mainstream value of this society. It is not a good idea to leave too much wealth to future generations. ”
"Mr. White, do you mean that you will give away most of your wealth?"
"Haha, no, at least not yet, didn't you notice, I'm still quite young. ”
The beautiful host is pouting, but it's true that she is young, and the tossing is endless.
"Mr. White, can you share your success stories with young people?"
"Success? No, I'm just getting started, this is an era of change, do you think a company with a market value of 10 billion dollars is very powerful?"
The beautiful host is almost stuck, isn't 10 billion powerful?
"With all due respect, Mr. White, there aren't many tens of billions of companies on Wall Street. ”
"Haha, I said it, this is this era of change, don't look at the current performance of high-tech stocks, the development prospects of these things are very good, as for those traditional enterprises, I'm sorry, you will eventually be eliminated by the times. ”
"Mr. White, can you tell me how you plan to use the money?"
"Of course, there is not enough office space for the two companies, and I will build two office buildings. I've also purchased two desert islands and plan to build them properly. That's pretty much it. ”
"It can't cost that much, can it?"
"Tsk, in fact, I don't have a concept of money, it's probably just a number, as for you saying that you can't spend too much money, this is not right, the construction of the dock and the airport are quite expensive. ”
Someone is starting to talk about his desert island again, and listening to the meaning of this thing, this is to create a paradise.
Looking at the guys talking on TV, many people are gritting their teeth, for no other reason, this product is too good.
According to the meaning of this goods, money is a bastard, and it is useless to keep it, and it is necessary to spend the money as quickly as possible.
The general attitude towards his statement is envy, jealousy, and hatred.
"Well, I finally got through it. "After the successful listing, William White's financial position has improved significantly. It is already difficult to deal with him by financial means.
There is no consortium to be proud anymore, and although they control more assets than William White, they dare not take it lightly anymore.
Another problem is very scary, everyone's situation is different, William White's assets are expanding rapidly, but the consortium is shrinking significantly.
This scissors gap is also really frustrating, and if it continues to be in this state, William White's personal assets will exceed that of most consortia.
Here's a question, is the consortium really so weak?
The answer is no.
For example, which Meilong consortium, its assets on the surface are no longer comparable to William White, but the people's background is profound, and it is definitely not something that William White can bully.
Needless to say, those universities and laboratories are all family assets, and any research topic is incredible.
Of course, it is not necessary to be arrogant, it is impossible to be a school god, it is useless if you have money, this thing needs to be inherited and inherited.
William White couldn't do that, so he had to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses. If MIT is their family, why work with Motorola?
Without your own scientific research strength, you can't stand at the top of the pyramid at all, and no matter how good you do it now, it's useless, and a replacement will kill you.
This is the case in today's IT industry, and the White system is just opportunistic.
Whether it's your adapter card or an office suit, these things don't have a high technology content. People are just not interested in entering the competition now, and once those forces with scientific research power enter the market, the good days of the White system will come to an end.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the gray face of the blue giant has affected the judgment of many large enterprises.
No matter how good the PC is, it's just some toys, and it's not comparable to the mainframe, let alone those supercomputers.
