Chapter 835 A New Force in the Internet Industry
Even with some turmoil, NetEase stock's first-day performance on the Nasdaq still ended with a slight rally.
In any case, this at least changed the tragic fate of the previous life when it was listed and broken.
As for the undercurrent surging under the calm surface, Wu Tao didn't feel that there was much of a problem with this.
Because public opinion is so unfavorable to NetEase, the stock price can still be pulled up on the first day, which is enough to prove that the eyes of the majority of shareholders are bright.
But as the CEO, Ding Lei doesn't think so.
He even speculated that this speculation was a kind of malice of the American people towards NetEase.
On the way back to the hotel, Ding Lei kept talking about it, and the noise made Wu Tao's head hurt, but he couldn't hide it......
But except for Ding Lei, NetEase's other shareholding executives are all happy, looking at the situation with a smile.
After all, among them, the most disadvantaged guy is also worth tens of millions of dollars.
This kind of net worth, back in China before 2000, is definitely a large sweeping existence.
This year, for them, is a year of dreams come true, a year of reaching the top.
Of course, the same thing, for Xue Jiaqian, although the meaning is a little lighter, it can be regarded as a great achievement.
At the very least, NetEase's VC venture capital project has made a big start for Tianqi Investment's operation in the Internet field.
Invisibly, it has also further enhanced the influence of Tianqi Investment in the industry. This includes both domestic and foreign countries.
Therefore, at the end of the day, Xue Jiaqian walked with the wind, and after receiving Wu Tao's instruction to 'work with the bears', she was even more energetic.
After all, a little more rise in NetEase's stock price means that the harvest of the shares held by Apocalypse Investment can be higher.
This is not a little bit, but a level of tens of millions of dollars.
For the high-spirited Xue Jiaqian, it is tantamount to snatching food, and the only choice is to accompany her to the end.
The next day, Wu Tao woke up a little late.
It was really because I was pestered by Ding Lei for a long time last night, and I was able to lie down in the second half of the night.
After washing up, I was about to order something to eat, when there was a quick knock at the door.
Wu Tao answered, and Xue Jiaqian, who had changed into a beige professional suit, walked in in a hurry, holding a stack of documents in her hand.
Seeing that Wu Tao was in a bad state, Xue Jiaqian immediately said, "Boss, have you just woken up?"
Wu Tao waved his hand, "Don't mention it! I only slept in the middle of the night yesterday, and I have only slept for less than five hours now." By the way, what's the matter with you?"
"Oh, yes, boss. I analyzed yesterday's NetEase stock trading turnover and trading volume overnight, and decided to invest $10 million in advance to deal with the short position. ”
Wu Tao muttered, "Will this be a little less, what is the basis?"
Xue Jiaqian pointed to him while holding the information: "In fact, I found that the mainstream of the stock market is still bullish on NetEase, and this wave of low-selling short orders is too deliberate, and the strength is not large." ”
"In that case, do as you say. Wu Tao nodded and said, "It's time to return today, what time is the plane?"
Xue Jiaqian closed the document and said, "2 o'clock in the afternoon." After that, he hesitated a little and said, "It's just that Mr. Ding's side, there are still some problems." ”
"What can he have in mind? Tossing so late last night, it's not enough?" Wu Tao glared.
Xue Jiaqian covered her mouth and said, "He said, in such a situation, he has no face to face Jiangdong's father." ”
"Nonsense!" Wu Tao got up, now that NetEase is listed, although there are people making trouble on the stock price, it is useless to stay in New York.
As for saying that he has no face to face Jiangdong's father, it is pure hypocrisy!
Wu Tao waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can leave this matter alone." After a while, I finished my meal and went to find him. ”
After a brief cleanup, Wu Tao left Ding Lei next door alone, and went downstairs to eat.
As a five-star hotel, in New York, where every inch of land is valuable, in fact, the room suite does not occupy an advantage in all aspects. The only thing to praise is the restaurants and the food.
In the brightly lit and luxuriously decorated restaurant, elegant jazz music flows, and all kinds of people enjoy the food while chatting and laughing, and whispering conversations.
Wu Tao walked in accompanied by Song Zhuang, and saw several executives of NetEase at a glance, who were being surrounded by a group of foreigners talking highly, with a face full of pride.
Wu Tao didn't go over to join in the fun, but picked up some delicacies, walked to a secluded corner and sat down, and enjoyed it alone.
This day in the middle of the night, although it was only for the people who ate melons, but they followed the roller coaster of the stock price in their hearts, and they unconsciously consumed a lot.
Especially in the second half of last night, listening to Ding Lei talk about his struggle history, over and over again, it was really a kind of torture.
But there is no way, the drinking thing was proposed by him, so he can only bear the consequences of this guy drinking too much.
Where would Wu Tao have thought that this guy would drink too much and not sleep, but talk nonsense even more energetically.
After tasting caviar and black truffle, Wu Tao decisively gave up on these two and turned to a sturdy steak and bacon.
In contrast, the latter is more cushioning.
Just when the hunger in his stomach had just disappeared, a curvy figure stood in front of him elegantly with a dinner plate, pointed to the empty seat opposite, and said, "Excuse me, can I sit here?"
Wu Tao looked up and saw that it was the glamorous Panis.
Usually with Molly and Ivanka, Panis is inconspicuous, like a passerby.
When I dressed up like this today, it turned out to be glamorous, and it was not inferior at all.
Sure enough, there are no ugly women, only lazy women.
Wu Tao immediately got up, and said while helping the other party pull out the chair: "Please take a seat, Panis, I really didn't expect to meet you here." ”
Panis thanked first, and then Ying Ying smiled and said: "This hotel is managed by Nikki, what's so strange about me being here? What's more, the sudden rise of Huaxia NetEase has injected new strength into the Internet industry, which has always been coerced by bubble theory, as a person in the financial industry, how can I miss such a grand event?"
Panis's American English was spoken quickly, and Wu Tao reacted for several seconds before he figured out what she meant.
That's an exaggeration. ”
Panis raised his eyebrows, "Today's mainstream media in New York, including the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times, are all in this kind of tone, does Mr. Wu think what they said is wrong?"
Wu Tao sneered, these media turned fast enough.
Although public opinion is beneficial to NetEase, exaggeration is exaggeration, and Wu Tao will not be complacent or anything because of this.
Therefore, in the face of Panis's slightly more critical question, Wu Tao said frankly: "Panis, I think that the rise of China's Internet industry cannot actually change the fate of the collapse of the bubble in the American Internet industry......
