As the world's first electronic securities trading market, NASDAQ has long become a paradise for many dreamers.

When Wu Tao arrived here, even though it was in the cold winter season, he still felt the atmosphere of boiling blood.

The existence of Wall Street, the New York Stock Exchange, means that it is a playground for capitalists and financiers at the same time.

So when Wu Tao saw Xue Jiaqian, he saw that this subordinate's eyes flashed with excitement.

It was a strange emotion that I had never seen in China.

Of course, as the earliest investor, this NetEase listing, no matter what the final result is, Apocalypse Investment is the winner waiting to count the money.

So it's no wonder that Xue Jiaqian can face this major event with such a relaxed and happy mood.

However, as the first party to bear the brunt, NetEase's CEO Ding Lei is not so easy. Not only that, when Wu Tao met him in a suite in a luxury hotel, he was even a little depressed and decadent.

"Are you alright, Ding Shisan?" Seeing this, Wu Tao was a little surprised.

Ding Lei wiped his stubble's thick chin, raised his eyes to look at Xue Jiaqian, who was following Wu Tao, opened his mouth, and finally didn't speak.

Xue Jiaqian took the initiative to avoid it very interestingly, and closed the door by the way.

Seeing that there was finally no one around, Ding Lei was relieved and said: "Boss, you don't know how much pressure I am under now!"

Wu Tao replied disappreciatively: "Of course, the pressure on billionaires is very high!"

This response obviously didn't take his words seriously, Ding Lei suddenly became anxious, scratched the hair on his head and said: "After all, we are the first company in China to be listed on the NASDAQ this time, how many pairs ......of eyes are staring at it in China, if you don't have a good head, you will definitely be poked in the backbone by other domestic companies."

"Then you'll have a good head!"

"This and this, this and this ......" Ding Lei trembled anxiously, and even said unfavorably: "How can there be such a simple thing? Nowadays, many local financial newspapers in New York are singing about NetEase, and even many financial spokesmen have publicly stated that NetEase's stock listing will break!"

Wu Tao finally got up, "Is this kind of public opinion the mainstream?"

Ding Lei scratched his head, "I don't know about this, but I've read at least two newspapers that say so, one of which is the New York Times, which has a relatively large influence!"

If so, then the problem is somewhat serious.

Wu Tao frowned, feeling a little tricky. But tricky is tricky, and you certainly can't do nothing at the moment.

In many cases, the lethality of public opinion is always easy to be overlooked. Therefore, it is imperative that the disadvantage in public opinion must be brought back first.

It's just that time is running out, and the next day is the day when NetEase goes public.

There is only a short day and a half left to build momentum for NetEase's stock issuance.

After thinking about it for a while, Wu Tao called Xue Jiaqian, who was guarding outside the door, in, "You immediately go and collect influential financial daily newspapers or magazines in New York, and count how many negative comments there are about NetEase." ”

Ding Lei also had a backbone at this time and said: "I'll send some people to cooperate with you!"

Immediately, Wu Tao took out his mobile phone in front of Ding Lei and dialed Panis's phone, and made a straightforward request: "I need to publish articles in the three most influential financial media in New York, the evening newspaper today and tomorrow, or the morning newspaper tomorrow." I will set the topics and outlines, and the price is not a problem. ”

Panis understood as soon as he heard it.

Wu Tao asked her to help do two things, one is to get through the relationship between the three major financial media and let the articles she wants appear in the newspaper as soon as possible, and the other is to find some media personalities or mouthpieces who have begun to influence and write advertorials according to her own requirements.

Panis didn't say a word, and immediately agreed, "OK, give me ten minutes and a fax number......

With the Morgan consortium's roots in New York, it was easy to do that.

But what is even more rare is that Panis was able to agree so neatly.

Originally, Wu Tao thought that Panis had always been unscrupulous, and he might have to think about it for a while.

After turning off the phone, Wu Tao began to think about how to write NetEase's advertorial, which is actually the advertorial of Huaxia Internet technology enterprises.

While pondering, I listed the keywords on the hotel's scratch paper.

market potential, development volume, opening up, emerging markets, accession to TO, response to the financial crisis, and the Chinese government's support for high-tech enterprises, etc......

In short, it is a multifaceted argument for the phrase 'I am strong, I have a lot of potential'.

It doesn't matter what the media personalities and mouthpieces will say.

As long as they can make their point of view clear, supplemented by these characteristic Chinese elements, it is enough.

Half an hour later, Xue Jiaqian went back and forth, took a sorted list and said: "Boss, Mr. Ding, after statistics, there are now more than seventy percent of the media that are not optimistic about NetEase's listing. At least half of them clearly expressed the view that the listing will break......"

This public opinion is really one-sided!

Ding Lei's face suddenly turned pale.

Wu Tao didn't change much, picked up the two pieces of paper on the desktop, handed them to Xue Jiaqian, and said: "Immediately contact the media people and writers on this fax, provide them with these elements, and let them stand for NetEase's listing as much as possible." ”

“…… Remember, their ultimate reward is directly related to the content and impact of the story!"

Xue Jiaqian perked up, took the two pieces of paper and said, "Yes, boss, I'll do it." ”

This is a battle of public opinion against time.

And as the listing date of NetEase approaches, it has reached a white-hot level.

Ding Lei, as the first party to bear the brunt, was already messy. If it weren't for Wu Tao still sitting in front of him peacefully, he might even have the heart to go berserk.

"Boss, can this work?" Ding Lei was concerned about the chaos, holding the fragrant coffee, and the more he drank it, the more decadent he became.

Wu Tao took a sip of Mocha slowly and said: "If this can't be saved, it means that there are indeed problems in your company's business strategy, so that shareholders lack confidence support." Do you think there's something wrong with your company?"

"This ......" Ding Lei was already confused, where could he answer this question.

Wu Tao said with a smile: "There is another saying in Huaxia, call all personnel and obey the destiny of heaven." Let's wait and see what happens to the rest!"

Early the next morning, major newspapers and media hyped the news of the first Huaxia technology company listed on the NASDAQ to the extreme.

The New York Times headline on page B reads: 'Is China's No. 1 Internet Technology Stock Listed on the Nasdaq Bull or Bear?'

The cover article of Financial Weekly reported: 'Let's wait and see whether Huaxia elements can bring new vitality to the Internet industry!'

……

The emergence of these voices soon sparked a more enthusiastic discussion on the topic of NetEase's listing.

Even the NBC TV news channel invited some financial experts to have a lively discussion on this matter.

It can be seen that the impact of this incident is huge.

However, the greater the impact, the greater the controversy. Even if there is a part of the public opinion power for NetEase, the media's opinion on NetEase's listing is still not optimistic......
