On May 12, Sohu officially landed on the NASDAQ with an issue price of $16.

This price is about the same as NetEase at the beginning, which shows that Comrade Chaoyang has ambition and confidence in his own company, which is not inferior to Ding Lei.

At the same moment, the NASDAQ index broke through the 5,000-point mark in one fell swoop, only one step away from the crash points in Wu Tao's memory.

Sohu's stock price broke through $20 in one fell swoop, but soon fell back to around $18.

As of the local close in New York, it was still fluctuating around this price.

Wu Tao looked at the fax document sent by Wu Yingying, and determined that although this situation was not in line with his estimate, it was not far off.

Coupled with the fact that the first-day trading volume of Sohu shares is obviously not as active as NetEase was at the beginning, it can be said that the situation is already very clear.

This also shows that the financial elite and bankers on Wall Street in the United States are not all fools.

Such obvious overheating, they had apparently expected it a long time ago.

However, even though Sohu's performance on the NASDAQ was not ideal, Comrade Chaoyang and his party, as the founders and senior management of Sohu, still made a lot of money and completed their personal gorgeous turn.

Therefore, the domestic media is still optimistic about this.

Constantly publish articles and hype with special titles such as "Internet industry equals black gold industry" and "Internet creates billionaires in the new century".

Wu Tao couldn't stand it anymore, so he published an analysis article entitled "When the tide recedes, I know who is swimming naked" on his blog, pointing out that there is a bubble in the global Internet and even in China's Internet industry, and the day of collapse is not far in the near future.

However, no one likes to hear the advice.

Such an article was posted on the Internet, and it did not make much waves, and it was quickly drowned in a prosperous music of singing and dancing.

But it didn't matter, he didn't plan to do anything with this article, not to mention that this article was just an excerpt from a small paper he used as an economics and management course.

Approaching the end of May, Ding Lei still came, and it has been half a month since Sohu was logged on the NASDAQ.

It's just unfortunate that Wu Tao was receiving Fujiwara Rina on this day, and he didn't have time to deal with him.

Rina Fujiwara, who I haven't seen for more than half a year, is now even more attractive.

In the position of the president of the Mitsui Foundation, under the unsmiling expression, the whole person has become much colder.

It wasn't until she walked into Wu Tao's courtyard that Fujiwara Rina suddenly lost her appearance and became relaxed.

This set of courtyard houses in Houhai, after nearly a year of renovation and upside down, finally has a little appearance.

Although it does not reproduce the glory of a prince's mansion, it at least looks new, antique, quiet and elegant, and there is no lack of convenience and enjoyment of high-end residences.

The weather at the end of May is already a bit hot.

Wu Tao beckoned Fujiwara Rina to sit down in the pavilion in the annex, and the four pillars around the pavilion were all lit with soft incense, the smell was sober but not pungent, and it could repel mosquitoes.

Rina Fujiwara glanced around, and then sat down elegantly on the solid wood stool, her eyes on Wu Tao's face, full of burning heat.

"Wu Sang, why do you always feel that you are so different from before?" When she said this, Fujiwara Rinami's eyes fluttered, it is said that she is now also at the helm of the four major consortiums of Dongying, but when she sees Wu Tao again, she always feels a little inferior.

Wu Tao smiled, took the tea from Xiao Zhang, the servant in the courtyard, and said casually: "It may be that the environment of this house has affected your perception, try this tea." ”

Fujiwara Rina looked at it twice, and felt that she couldn't grasp the difference, so she simply gave up, picked up the teacup, opened the lid of the cup lightly, and suddenly felt a fresh fragrance.

"Good tea!"

Wu Tao smiled, this is the best Longjing scavenged from Liang Yancheng, of course it won't be bad.

The two of them smiled tacitly, and then drank the teacup, and Alyssa next to her couldn't help but want to have a drink.

Fortunately, the next moment, the two stopped talking about tea and began to get to the point.

"Wu Sang, to be honest, I paid attention to your blog post this time, so I made a special trip to visit. ”

Wu Tao raised his eyebrows, the article he wrote, not many people in China paid attention to it, but it gave this Dongying woman an idea.

Rina Fujiwara's voice continued, "It was rumored that the Internet industrial revolution would be the fourth scientific and technological revolution, so the Mitsui Foundation has a lot of layout and investment in this industry. If Wu Sang thinks that the industry is overheated now, does it mean that all venture capital in the Internet industry should be stopped and the loss should be stopped in time?"

Wu Tao smiled and waved his hand: "The overheating of the global Internet industry does not mean that this industry is about to die. In fact, truly valuable Internet companies are still emerging, but they are not easy to find. ”

“...... What's more, the Internet industry will still be a pillar industry in the future. The collapse of the Internet bubble this time is just the only way for the Internet industry to transform from savage growth to healthy development. ”

“...... In Huaxia words, this is a process of scouring the sand in a big wave and removing the turnips. It's brutal, but it's wonderful. ”

When Fujiwara Rina heard this, her beautiful eyes lit up, and then she bowed her head and said, "Rina has been taught, Wu San!"

Wu Tao waved his hand and said disapprerovitously: "If you can listen to this, it will be valuable." Otherwise, it's meaningless. What's more, I haven't thanked you for the acquisition of Ericsson's mobile phone division. Why don't we get rid of it?"

"Haiy!" Rina Fujiwara took off her coat, revealing the camisole that was bursting inside, and said: "However, this time Huaxia execution, Alyssa and I have just facilitated the settlement of two foundry projects in Wusu City, and Secretary An has a high opinion of us." ”

After speaking, Rinami Fujiwara looked at Wu Tao with burning eyes, the meaning is self-explanatory, how are you going to thank me?

Wu Tao looked embarrassed, and then smiled to cover it up: "How about I invite you to have a full banquet here tonight?"

Without waiting for Rina Fujiwara to say anything, Alyssa couldn't wait to say, "If we can, we'd love to stay here for one night today." ”

Wu Tao glanced at Alyssa, returned his gaze to Fujiwara Rina's pretty face and said, "No problem, if you still feel unsatisfied, I will give you another suggestion for free." ”

"Oh?" Fujiwara Rina leaned forward slightly, and the whiteness under the mouth of the hanging collar suddenly revealed a large area.

Wu Tao said confidently: "If my expectations are correct, the business of alkman and CD players in Dongying should decline now, right? I suggest that you transform as soon as possible, or cooperate with the Lotus MP3 product department to jointly create a walkman product that adapts to the new era!"

"Nani?" Rina Fujiwara was dumbfounded, "Wu San, do you mean that the decline in the business of Sony and Panasonic's Walkman is affected by the new MP3 products? But how can the sound quality of MP3 compare to that of the Walkman, this is simply incredible!"

Wu Tao didn't say much, and stopped there: "So, this is just a suggestion." ”

The implication is that if you don't believe it, don't regret it later.
