This time, they are ready to raise the issue price directly to $150.

In fact, the price can be higher, but everyone finally decided to leave some room for growth, otherwise, the price is set too high, and the investors who subscribe will not have much room for profit, and everyone's enthusiasm will fade.

If calculated according to the issue price of $150, Facebook's market capitalization will reach $22.5 billion!

This valuation is nothing in the global Internet industry.

But in the domestic Internet industry, that is the absolute hegemon, basically the rest of the Internet companies that have been listed, their combined market value may not be as high as Facebook.

From the market value, it can also be clearly reflected that Facebook is now in the domestic Internet industry!

Yu Wenfei holds 60 million original shares, which will be worth $9 billion after going public.

Facebook, on the other hand, is just a company controlled by Yu Wenfei, and the other companies he controls may not be lower than Facebook if they really want to go public.

is like Facebook Games, Star Technology Holdings, etc., so it is not an exaggeration to say that his net worth is as high as tens of billions of dollars.

Of course, the market value belongs to the market value, and the stock belongs to the stock, which does not mean that Yu Wenfei has so much cash in his hand that he can spend casually.

However, this is not difficult for Yu Wenfei, although he is a major shareholder, after the company is listed, the equity will be locked, and it is not allowed to cash out for a limited period of time.

But this can be worked, and the easiest way is to pledge equity!

Yu Wenfei can pledge the 60 million shares of Facebook in his hand to a bank, and the bank lends him money, and he can use the money at will.

Of course, the shares with a market value of 9 billion US dollars will not be pledged out, and it is impossible for banks to lend them all according to the market value, and they will all have to be discounted.

For example, if you pledge a $2 billion worth of shares, you can only get a loan of $1 billion, and if the bank is optimistic about the development of Facebook, the loan amount may be a little more.

This time, Yuwenfei is ready to wait for the funds of the shareholder Hangmingzhu Company to pledge some of his shares to withdraw cash for investment after Facebook is listed.

At that time, a hundred or two billion US dollars will be put into Mingzhu Company and directly obtained a controlling stake.

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

On February 15, 2004, Citibank, on behalf of Facebook, formally submitted a supplementary document to the prospectus, revising the issue price of the shares to US$150.

This price is the price at which Facebook is officially listed.

On the 17th, Yu Wenfei also flew to New York, because Facebook was about to be listed, and he, the controlling shareholder and chairman of the board of directors, of course, still had to show up and ring a bell or something.

After arriving in New York, they had a meeting with Cai Congxin, and the hotel they stayed at was the Century Hotel on the Upper East Side, a very good five-star hotel.

The next day, the eighteenth, at five o'clock in the morning, everyone had already gotten up, everyone was dressed up carefully, today is a big day!

Many people, perhaps in this lifetime, will have such an opportunity to ring the bell in the NASDAQ stock market.

Of course, some people may still have many opportunities, such as Yuwenfei......

On this kind of big day, of course, you have to dress up to attend.

Yu Wenfei also wore a "Super 205" navy blue fabric suit from Savile Row Haute Couture today, with a ruby cufflink collar and a bright red silk tie.

Today is a big day, so of course you should dress festively.

On the wrist is a Patek Philippe 5002P platinum watch!

This watch was seen by Hu Jingjing when she went to the autumn auction of Christie's in Hong Kong to help him auction cigars last year, and she knew that Yu Wenfei also liked good watches, so she called Yu Wenfei on the spot and asked Yu Wenfei.

As a result, Yu Wenfei directly told her to take a picture!

He is dressed today, worth more than 25 million yuan!

Because this watch alone is worth 25 million, in comparison, tens of thousands of pounds of haute couture suits are inconspicuous.

After a brief breakfast, we took the luxury bus provided by the hotel to the Condé Nast Tower in Times Square, which is the NASDAQ trading center.

The opening time of the Nasdaq is half past nine in the morning, which is half past nine in the evening domestic time.

The reason why Yu Wenfei and they came so early was because today Facebook was listed on the Internet, and a bell ringing ceremony was going to be held.

Before ringing the bell, the staff of the securities market should also train everyone on the process and precautions of the bell ringing ceremony.

Today, not only Yuwenfei is busy in New York, but also within the domestic Facebook company.

The entire No. 8 Building, and even the Star Science and Technology Park, are full of lights and beams.

Just kidding, as long as the company is successfully listed, a large part of the two or three thousand employees in Facebook who get equity incentives will immediately become millionaires, and a small number will even become multimillionaires.

The company left work at six o'clock, but no one went home from work, and everyone gathered in the company to wait for the moment when the bell rang.

Under the infection of the atmosphere, those employees who did not get the equity incentive were also excited.

The reason why the company's listing is exciting is that as long as you have the original shares in your hands, overnight, the original poor boy can become a multimillionaire.

The listing of countless companies has become a myth of wealth creation, and this time Facebook is listed, I don't know how many millions, tens of millions, or even billionaires will be born.

Lao Wang, the director of the operation department, smiled on his face, because he was a veteran employee of Yitang.com, and he was also the first batch of people to join Facebook.com, and he was the backbone employee of the company, and this time he was allocated a full 5,000 shares.

Now that Facebook is priced at $150,000, the value of these 5,000 shares has reached $750,000, which is a proper ...... Half a multi-millionaire.

He graduated from college and worked for more than a decade, but all the money he earned over the years combined was nowhere near as valuable as the stock.

was overjoyed, and turned his head to see his subordinate Xiao Zhang coming over with a happy smile with a boxed lunch.

"Hey, you're a good kid this time. Lao Zhang said with a smile.

Xiao Zhang, as the technical backbone of the company, also received a full 1,000 original shares, and this kid has only graduated for a year and has become a millionaire.

It's really lucky, Lao Zhang is a little envious.

"Hehe, isn't this the leader you are promoting?" Xiao Zhang patted his ass.

......

The time came to eight o'clock in the morning and eight o'clock in the evening domestic time.

Outside the Condé Nast Building, a lot of media reporters have gathered, and the Facebook online listing is not quiet, but has caused a sensation in the domestic financial and IT circles.

40 million shares, expected to raise 6 billion US dollars!

This is the largest IPO in the history of China's Internet industry, so all the relevant media in the domestic IT industry have been dispatched, and even the domestic financial media have sent many reporters.

In the hall on the first floor, rows of "long guns and short cannons" were erected, hundreds of reporters were crowded together, and the scene was noisy.

The ringing of the NASDAQ bell is not really "ringing the bell", but by several bell-ringing representatives, pressing the button at the same time, the stock market officially opens, which is considered to have completed the bell-ringing procedure.

This time, the representatives of the bell of Meigou include the company's shareholder representatives: Yu Wenfei, Cai Congxin, employee representative Lu Qi, as well as management representatives Xue Chunlai and Director Wang.

"It's an honor to join you in celebrating the Facebook launch, sharing the joy and sending my congratulations on this day. ”

"This date is a great milestone and it's great to see Facebook's business thrive, continue to break new ground, and deliver great returns to all investors!"

Nasdaq CEO Adna Friedman sent congratulations.

Cai Congxin spoke on behalf of Facebook, and Yu Wenfei was not interested in this matter, but just stood below and smiled and watched Cai Congxin on the stage speak.

"The smooth listing of Facebook is inseparable from the hard work of every employee and the support of every website user. Of course, it is inseparable from the wise leadership of our Fei Zong! Facebook online listing is just the beginning, in the days to come, I hope that all of us will continue to be under the leadership of Fei Zong, hand in hand, and create more brilliance!"

Standing on the stage, Cai Congxin was a little excited in his heart, and his palms were slightly sweaty.

After working hard for so many years, isn't it just for this day!

Besides, today I am not a supporting role, but as a protagonist, standing on the stage to speak.

This is an honor, but also a responsibility.

Mr. Fei is firmly tying himself to his "chariot", so that he can no longer get out of the car.

Of course, I don't want to jump off the "fast train" of Feizong, with such a hitchhiker, why do you want to come down, I don't know how many people want to come up but don't have the opportunity.

At the same time, offstage, beside Yu Wenfei, Hu Jingjing was also trembling slightly with excitement.

She took 10,000 shares!

Now that the stock price is $150, isn't the share in your hand worth $1.5 million?

Is my mother going to be a multimillionaire?

Although she now lives in a big villa with hundreds of millions of dollars and drives a supercar of several millions, she looks like a super rich woman in the eyes of outsiders.

However, it was all given by Mr. Fei, and I always felt that none of them belonged to me, and they could be lost at any time.

But the shares are different, these stocks are the company's recognition of its outstanding performance in the past two years!

This is earned by your own skills!

Hu Jingjing felt that she could brag when she went out in the future, and her mother relied on her own efforts, and started working part-time in college, working day and night for almost two years, and finally became a multimillionaire with her own skills!

Just ask you whether you are inspirational or not?

I should be able to become one of the outstanding alumni of ECNU, and if there is a school celebration or something in the future, I will also receive an invitation, haha......

Thinking of this, Hu Jingjing almost laughed out loud.

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

At half past nine, when the countdown came to "0", several representatives of Facebook pressed the button together, and the stock market officially opened!

Wealth making machine, on!
