Chapter 791: The opening skyrocketed

Because a company on Facebook is listed today, after the market opens, the focus of the entire securities market is Facebook!

Facebook's share price was also projected onto a giant screen in the Nasdaq market lobby.

Today, the focus of attention of everyone present is whether Facebook's stock price can still rise?

The opening price of $150 is not low, can it continue to rise?

If it continues to rise, what kind of price will it reach at the end of the day?

In the U.S. stock market, there is a difference between a new listing and a domestic new listing.

In the U.S. stock market, trading is not immediately available on the first day of listing.

Instead, the main market maker conducts price matching, and only after finding a suitable opening price is it officially listed for trading.

In the period leading up to the opening of the market, both traders who are interested in selling and intending to buy submit their target price and volume for round after round of matching.

In this process, if there are fewer participants, it may only take one or two rounds of price allocation, and if there are many participants, there will be more rounds.

Obviously, today's Facebook is the kind of situation where there are more participants.

Everyone present looked up at the big screen, but the price was not revealed.

After waiting for a while, everyone's necks are sore, and the price has not yet come out.

"It's been at least five rounds of bidding, and the price hasn't come out yet!" exclaimed an American financial reporter.

The stock price submitted by Facebook is $150, which is only the intended price, not the final price.

If the number of traders who intend to buy is relatively small during the price matching stage before the official opening, then the opening price will be less than $150.

On the other hand, if there are a large number of traders who are interested in buying, the opening price will be higher than $150.

Now that a long time has passed, and the official opening price has not yet been displayed, it means that there is only one possibility, that is, there are too many people participating in the bidding!

As a result, the transaction price is constantly increasing, and traders who are unwilling to offer high prices are screened out.

Until the total number of buyers who want to buy and the number of shares sold equalizes, then there will be a final price, which is the final opening price of Facebook!

This process can take up to an hour, and in reality, when Twitter goes public, it is only an hour after the opening price appears.

And this time, Facebook obviously won't be much faster.

"Let's all go about our business, I guess it will take an hour to get the results. At the scene, a stock trader shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly.

There is no way to do it, and there is nothing else to do but wait.

At the same time, in China, within Facebook, employees are watching the broadcast on the big screen intently.

Seeing that the market was open at the scene, but the stock price of Facebook had not been displayed, I was a little breathless.

"What's going on? Lao Wang, the director of the operation department, said suspiciously, a little drumming in his heart.

He thought to himself, don't drop the chain at the critical moment, this is related to his own net worth, can't be joking!

"No problem, this is a good thing, it means that there are more bidders, and a higher price may be offered later. Xiao Zhang still knows a little about the U.S. stock market, so he told Lao Wangdao.

"That's good, that's good! I don't expect a high price, as long as I can stabilize the price of one hundred and fifty dollars!"

............

After a full hour, a trader stood up and shouted, "Freeze the Book!"

At the same time, on the big screen in the trading floor, a huge number was also displayed, "175"!

Facebook's official opening price is $175.

The thunderous applause at the scene jumped from $150 to $175, which means that in this hour, Facebook's stock has risen by more than 16 percent.

"We succeeded, Mr. Fei!" Cai Congxin said excitedly, his eyes slightly reddened.

The one million shares he owns are now worth almost $200 million, and he has only been on Facebook for half a year.

Moreover, Yu Wenfei once promised that as long as he performed well in his work, he would continue to reward him with shares.

After the successful listing of Facebook this time, presumably this promise will also be fulfilled.

Yu Wenfei smiled and patted Cai Congxin's arm, "This is the beginning! Keep working hard, we are still far from real success." ”

On the big screen, Facebook's stock price continues to beat, which means that there is a steady stream of new buyers who want to get Facebook shares at a higher price.

“178”

“180”

“185”......

The price climbed all the way until it was around $200 before slowing down and starting to jump slightly.

By the end of the afternoon, Facebook's stock price was frozen at $212.

On the day of listing, it skyrocketed by 62 US dollars, an increase of 40 percent!

Facebook's total market capitalization has reached $31.8 billion, or $250 billion.

On the domestic Internet, it has boiled......

............

"Facebook is listed online, with a market value of more than 250 billion!"

"Tremble, mortals, the Internet giant has officially ascended the throne!"

"The future of the Internet industry is promising, starting with the listing of Facebook. 》

"Inventory of domestic Internet companies, which one can become the next Facebook." 》

On the day of Facebook's launch, it was not only Facebook employees who stayed up all night, but also thousands of Internet peers.

Everyone is paying attention to the situation of Facebook online listing.

Pengcheng, Brother Xiao Ma and other executives have been sitting in the big conference room, also paying attention to the listing of Facebook.

If there is any Internet company in China that can be compared with Facebook, it may be Tencent.

In terms of the number of users and user activity, QQ is on the same order of magnitude as Facebook, even if Yuwenfei has also launched WeChat, an instant messaging software, but now,.

After seeing that the market value of Facebook was as high as more than 30 billion US dollars, a smile also appeared on Xiao Ma's face, and he said excitedly: "See! I know that social networking sites or software are the most promising in the Internet industry! After our company goes public, the market value should be able to reach the height of Facebook." ”

Tencent is also going public, and soon.

However, it is to be listed on the Xiangjiang Securities Market, and the preparations are almost complete, and it will be officially listed in April soon.

Two months before Tencent's listing, Facebook set a good example, and similarly, the higher the market value of Facebook, the better news for Tencent, because two months later, when it goes public, it can have a reference.

So Brother Pony is not jealous of Facebook's achievements, but hopes that Facebook's performance can be better!

............

Tencent is in no direct competition with Facebook, and it can also press WeChat underneath, and it is facing listing again, so it hopes that Facebook will perform better in the stock market.

But Facebook's direct competitors don't think so.

The heads of Sina Blog, Sohu Blog, Blog China and other companies were already in the mood to continue watching when they saw the opening price of Facebook.

Last year, Sina Blog was banned by the Cyberspace Administration of China for two months because of vulgarity and other reasons, and its vitality was greatly damaged.

The dug up "pillar" Mei Muzi was also named and criticized by the Cyberspace Administration of China, which caused Sina Blog to have to keep surviving, terminated Mei Muzi's contract, and carried out a site-wide reorganization, and the website was unblocked.

After that turmoil, the gap between Sina Blog and Facebook has widened to the extent that it is out of reach.

Nor did they think about challenging Facebook's leading position again.

However, the success of Facebook's listing this time is definitely not a good thing for them.

Because in the Internet industry, everyone understands the truth that the winner takes all, and the strong will always be strong.

Facebook had a good foundation and a large user base, and now it has received such a large sum of money from the stock market.

In the future, in the field of blogging, the competitors will not have a place at all.

............

What peers and competitors think, Yuwenfei and Facebook executives certainly don't know and don't care.

In the evening, a grand celebratory dinner was held at the hotel where I stayed.

"Congratulations to Mr. Fei, last year everyone said that you were the richest man in the mainland, and now that Facebook is on the market, you don't have to be invisible. In this year's Hurun Rich List, you will undoubtedly reach the top and become the richest man in the truest place!"

Xue Chunlai held a goblet and celebrated to Yu Wenfei with a spring breeze on his face.

He's very happy today, Facebook's success is his success.

When he invested in Facebook, he suggested it to Mr. Sun, and with this investment, SoftBank Capital made a lot of money!

As the head of SoftBank Capital in the mainland, his performance and dividends will certainly not be less.

"Do you mean the pig killing list? Haha, it's not necessarily a good thing to be at the top of that list. Yuwen Fei joked.

"That list may not be a good thing for others, but Mr. Fei, you are an Internet person, you make money cleanly, what are you afraid of on the list, this will only increase your popularity, a good thing!" Xue Chunlai said indifferently.

............

The earliest list of the richest people in China is the "Hurun Rich List", which is also nicknamed "Pig Killing List" among the people, which is also for a reason.

Hurun, a Briton who claims to have been in China for 15 years, created the "Hurun Report" based on his own interests

Since the birth of the "Hurun Report" in 1999, the entrepreneurs on the list have attracted attention.

However, the economic problems of some entrepreneurs have also received more attention, so among the people, the "rich list" is nicknamed the "pig killing list".

Someone once asked Hurun this question, and Hurun said: "I strongly disagree with this statement"!
