Chapter 220: The Stock Market
"Sure enough, it's all a lie, and it's good to ring the bell, what about the bell?"
Until he came down from the stage, Zheng Yan was still complaining in his heart.
Originally, when he saw the button, Zheng Yan was still thinking in his heart, whether to press it with Leonard, after all, this experience may be just like this, but in order to prevent jokes, Zheng Yan still resisted the urge to reach out.
"Oh Zheng Yan, what's wrong with you? Our company is listed here, why aren't you happy at all?"
Leonard saw that Zheng Yan's mood was a little wrong, and couldn't help but ask.
"Leonard, I feel cheated into coming to NASDAQ to ring the bell, and I thought there was a bell ringing, but it didn't happen at all. ”
"Haha... Zheng Yan, are you upset because of this? The so-called bell ringing is just a ritual, and I knew that I would have pressed the button just now. ”
After hearing Zheng Yan's explanation, Leonard couldn't help but feel funny, Zheng Yan, as a standard billionaire, would be unhappy about this, which is a little funny when he thinks about it.
"Let's go, today is the first day of Cisco's listing, we also need to pay attention to the company's stock price, if it hits Waterloo on the first day, it will be a big blow to the company. ”
The completion of the bell ringing ceremony means that Cisco is officially listed, and as the founder and chairman of the company, he must be very concerned about the changes in the company's stock price.
Although Zheng Yan is not clear about the changes in Cisco's stock price after its listing in his previous life, Zheng Yan is more confident than anyone else in Cisco's later development. Originally, according to the normal development trajectory, Cisco's new generation of routers was still a period of time away from the market, and now it came out in advance because of itself, which will undoubtedly play a great role in promoting the rise of Cisco's stock price, so Zheng Yan is not worried at all.
Moreover, Yanhuang Investment, as the stock underwriter of Cisco's listing, has made many preparations for this listing, and even if no one cares about it on the first day, Zheng Yan can guarantee that Cisco's stock will not fall.
When Zheng Yan and Leonard came to the trading floor, they found that all the trading windows were already crowded. Looking at the crowded and noisy trading hall, Zheng Yan had an illusion for a moment that he was not standing on the trading hall of the NASDAQ, but in the ticket hall of the railway station during the Spring Festival in China more than 20 years later.
"Leonard, is the exchange usually so chaotic? This is a stock exchange, it's just a vegetable market. ”
Zheng Yan didn't figure out the situation for a while, but Leonard on the side was full of excitement.
"Zheng Yan, I think you should take a closer look and listen to what they are saying. ”
"Could it be that the chaos on the scene was caused by Cisco's listing?" Zheng Yan thought in his heart, but he was not sure for a while, so he walked to the transaction window.
"Give me 10,000 shares of Cisco..."
"Buy Cisco stock, the account is 4538... All the money was bought..."
In addition to the people queuing at the window, there are also many people who are talking on the phone with Big Brother, and they are also going for Cisco stocks.
"I'm sorry, but the 100 million Cisco shares that just came out have been sold out. ”
"What? Sold out?..."
"No, it was my turn..."
“...”
Prior to Cisco's official listing, according to Cisco's internal negotiations, the initial price of the listing was $0.1 per share, and the shares accounted for 10% of the total share capital, with a total of 1 billion shares based on the company's valuation of $1 billion.
As Cisco's stock underwriting agency, Yanhuang Investment only released 100 million shares at the beginning, but in this moment, all of them have been sold out. Originally, Zheng Yan still thought that if no one cared about Cisco's shares, then he would eat them all in the name of Yanhuang Investment, but now it seems that there is no hope.
"At this time, the sales are booming, and another 200 million shares will be released. ”
Bill Miller, as the de facto person in charge of stock underwriting, had long thought of the situation where no one would buy the shares, so he only released a tenth of the shares, and he did not expect to be snapped up in a few minutes. Bill Miller looked at the investors who were still enthusiastic and decisively released another 200 million shares.
"Cisco's stock has another 200 million shares..."
I don't know who shouted on the side, and the trading floor, which had been quiet for a while because Cisco shares were sold out, immediately became noisy again.
"Don't squeeze, everyone comes one by one. ”
The staff at the scene also found that the situation was somewhat out of control and hurriedly stood up to maintain order.
"Zheng Jun, it seems that you have made a lot of money again. ”
At this time, Miyuki Aso walked over, and seemed to be infected by the atmosphere of the scene, and her face was a little excited.
"Miyuki, did you buy some shares in Cisco?"
"Of course, I remembered what you told me at the beginning, so I naturally bought some. However, I didn't fight with them, and I told Bill before that he had reserved 10 million shares for me. ”
Miyuki Aso looked at the crowd of scrambles and couldn't help but feel glad she had made the choice in the first place. Originally, before she met Zheng Yan, she was just a newly graduated intern at Sony, but now in just two years, she has become a rich woman worth tens of millions. And according to Zheng Yan's estimate, after the investment in oil futures is over, her worth will increase exponentially.
"Oh Zheng Yan, it turns out that you are here, and seeing the listing of Cisco this time, my confidence in your investment in oil futures has increased a lot. I thought, maybe I can really see a miracle. Bill Miller, who came in a hurry, said to Zheng Yan.
"Bill, why are you here, don't you need to keep an eye on the next stock underwriting?"
"Zheng Yan, it seems that you haven't figured out the situation yet, you look at the atmosphere of the scene, look at those investors who are crazy because of Cisco, do you think I still need to keep an eye on it? ”
At the beginning of the negotiations between Zheng Yan and Leonard, Bill Miller was a witness, thinking about the conditions that Zheng Yan offered at the beginning, and then looking at the current stock market, he has to admit that Zheng Yan's vision in investment is indeed unique.
Although Cisco's success was already predictable, Leonard, as the chairman of the company, still stayed until the stock market closed, and Zheng Yan was always on the side because he had nothing to do.
Before leaving, Zheng Yan deliberately looked at Cisco's closing price, which had reached $0.15, that is, Cisco's market value increased by 50% in one day. And Zheng Yan also inadvertently discovered a very important information.
