Chapter 267: 100 Billion Market Cap

Now the trading floor is crowded, many traders have counters in the hall, and Citibank is the designated market maker for the listing of the U.S. stock network.

As soon as the opening bell rings, more than 2,300 stock dealers begin trading.

Listing in the United States is slightly different from that of domestic listing, especially the first day of trading of stocks, and the market maker system is on the American side.

Citibank is the designated market maker of Meigou.com.

Citibank will then begin an opening price inquiry process, and then the three major IPO underwriters will work together to determine the most suitable opening price.

In addition to deciding the opening price, it is also necessary to decide when the market will open.

Usually, there is no trading when the market opens at half past nine EST, and sometimes it takes ten minutes or even thirty minutes to start trading.

Whether it's a buy or sell order, all the information is aggregated at Citibank. The three major underwriters will see the power of buying and selling, and then decide what price and when to open.

Take Twitter, for example: it took about an hour for Twitter to go public, and it may take longer this time.

"Maybe two hours. A stock trading broker shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly that it was the power of the buyer and the seller to work together to bring about this result.

At that time, Citibank will appear with a number of $80-85, which is the indicative range of the opening price. The stock price is a process of fluctuation, but the indicative range of the opening price is getting narrower and narrower, which also indicates that it is close to the mutually agreed price of buyers and sellers.

And when the trader shouts "Freeze the Book!", then the opening price will come out immediately, with complete transparency.

The reason why so many American financial reporters came to the scene is because today may set a new record, that is, the U.S. stock network will become the company with the highest market value on the first day of listing on the NASDAQ!

Prior to this, Facebook had just gone public in May, setting a record of $90 billion in market capitalization on the first day of listing.

But today, that record is likely to be broken by U.S.com.

The total share capital of Meigo.com is 1.2 billion, and the listing price is 65 US dollars, which is 78 billion US dollars, which is not too big a gap from 90 billion.

And looking at the popularity of the roadshow before the online market of Meigou, today's opening price is estimated to have a leap!

……

In anticipation of everyone, after a long hour and a half, the first transaction price of Meigo.com appeared on the big screen.

"$88"!

There was an uproar at the scene, and the stock was listed at $65, and now it has risen by 30%!

And this price also determined that on the first day of the online market, the market value of Meigou surpassed Facebook, creating a new historical record!

There was a thunderous applause, and the hundreds of people present, whether they were members of Meigou or not, were sincerely happy for this excellent result.

Normally, at this moment, the founders of listed companies should shed tears of excitement.

But Wang Ye didn't, he just smiled and applauded, this is just the beginning, and it is still far from success, what is there to be excited about.

But Liu An behind him couldn't help it, and he really cried with joy.

The prototype of Meigo.com was founded by Liu An, and he really didn't expect that Meigo.com could achieve today's achievements!

The market value exceeds that of Facebook, and it will directly break 100 billion US dollars!

With the increase in transactions, the stock price of Meigou is still rising.

"$89"

"$91"

"$92"

……

It continued to beat until it was around $95 before the rise slowed down.

The overall situation has been decided, basically the stock price is more than 90 US dollars, and optimistically the closing price can rush to about 100 US dollars.

At this time in China, the No. 2 office building of Mingguang Science and Technology Park has also become a sea of joy.

Employees were boiling over when they saw the first "$88" stock price appear, and everyone screamed and cheered.

Lao Zhang's face was flushed with excitement, and when he saw someone, he hugged him fiercely.

He has 30,000 shares in his hand, which is almost 3 million dollars, can you not be excited?

This time, the car can be replaced by one or two, and now the broken car has been driving for five or six years, and I have taken a fancy to the BMW 5 Series for a long time, buy it!

You can also consider buying a bigger house, but the current house is only a two-bedroom apartment, and there is not even a study. The community environment is not very good, and I can't even find a parking space when I go back a little later.

This dilapidated house, how can it be worthy of Lao Zhang's current net worth of tens of millions, and change to a set of big three rooms in a high-end community! Well~ four rooms can also be considered!

Daughter-in-law...... Or don't change it......

Lao Zhang seemed to see a big house and a luxury car beckoning to him......

……

Xiao Zhang was also excited, and several pimples on his face seemed to glow red.

Just one year after graduation, he became a multimillionaire, and he couldn't have imagined it before.

Who knows, when I chose this company, it only took one year to make a big difference in my life.

His phone has begun to vibrate wildly, with text message reminders, phone ringtones, and QQ message prompts.

Xiao Zhang took out his mobile phone and saw that there were several missed calls.

Click on the text message, all congratulate him, there are relatives and friends, and old classmates.

Open QQ again, and there is already 99+ information in the college classmate group.

"Xiao Zhang is developed now, the stock price of Meigo.com is so high!"

"Last time, Xiao Zhang said how many shares did he get? The stock price is almost 100 US dollars, isn't this share more than 600 yuan, and 10,000 shares is more than 6 million?!"

"My God, Xiao Zhang's ancestral grave is smoking, and he got so much money in just one year after graduation!"

"I remember Xiao Zhang said last time that he divided 20,000 shares, wouldn't he become a multimillionaire?"

"Yes, I also remember 20,000 shares, multimillionaire! I don't even have 10,000 yuan on my bank card!"

"This is the first millionaire in our class, and the first multimillionaire at the same time. ”

……

The students said everything, but mainly around the two themes of "envy and jealousy".

Xiao Zhang smiled slightly, and said: "I'll treat you on the weekend, come over and work here in Pengcheng, and choose the location!"

As soon as he took the lead, he immediately blew up his old classmates.

"I'm Cao, the multimillionaire is out!"

"The boss is going to have a treat, everyone can come over on the weekend, choose the most expensive restaurant, and go bankrupt!"

"It's just that it's not good to slaughter Xiao Zhang, and this breath in my heart can't be smooth. It's all the same school and the same major, why am I still a moonlight clan, Xiao Zhang is a multimillionaire. I'm not convinced!"

After leaving a message from his classmates, Xiao Zhang didn't care about this, and he dialed the phone at home.

Although it was already past ten o'clock at night, and his parents were probably asleep, Xiao Zhang couldn't take care of this.

The phone was dialed, and it took two or three minutes before it was connected, it was my mother.

"What's the matter, Xiaoguang, what's the matter with calling so late?" asked my mother suspiciously.

Xiao Zhang's original name was Zhang Guang, and his family called him Xiao Guang.

"Mom, I'll tell you good news! Today, our company goes public, and your son has become a multimillionaire!" Xiao Zhang said as he tried to suppress his excitement.

His family knew about the company's shares, and Xiao Zhang told his family that he might become a millionaire, because he didn't expect the stock price of Meigou to be so high at that time.

"Ah?!, why are there so many, aren't you only 20,000 or something?" asked the old mother in surprise.

"Well, the company is very optimistic about investors, the stock price is very high, it is listed today, and it has not closed yet, and the stock price is almost $100. In other words, the 20,000 shares in my hand are worth 2 million US dollars, 13 million yuan!"

On the other end of the phone, my mother was silent, digesting the shocking news.

Xiao Zhang's family is not poor, his parents are both in small cities, and they can have an income of more than 100,000 yuan a year.

However, the son has only graduated for a year, and he has earned the wealth that the old couple has not earned in their lifetime, this news is indeed too amazing, and the mother needs to digest it.

After a while, my mother calmed down: "Son, the company can give you so many shares, which is valued by you and worthy of you." Then in the future, in our work, we can't drop the chain, we must work hard, and we must be worthy of what the company gives you. ”

Xiao Zhang nodded heavily and said, "Mom, don't worry, I know it's bad, the company treats me well, and I will work harder in the future." ”

……

Xiao Zhang is just a microcosm, this time the equity incentive of Meigo.com has benefited most of the company's key employees, and even those employees who have not been allocated shares have also given a lot of salary increases.

This is a great boost to the morale of the employees.

The company went public, the shareholders made a fortune and ate meat, and the employees also drank the soup, so that the company could continue to work hard and run the company better.

……

By 3 p.m. EST, when the stock market closed, the stock price of Meigou.com was fixed at $100.08!

The listing price was $65 and the closing price was $100.08, an increase of 54% on the first day.

The market value of Meigo.com has reached a huge 120 billion US dollars, surpassing a large number of Internet listed companies such as Tencent, Baidu, Sina, and NetEase, and becoming the Internet company with the highest market value in China.

When the news came, it shook the domestic financial and Internet circles.

Alibaba and JD.com are not listed yet, and the market value is not easy to estimate, but judging from the market value of Meigou.com, e-commerce companies are indeed more sought after by investors than ordinary Internet companies.

In foreign countries, the market value of the e-commerce giant Amazon at this time is also firmly suppressing the social giants Facebook and Twitter.

Amazon's market capitalization is as high as $150 billion, while Facebook's is less than $100 billion.

"Is the e-commerce platform the enterprise with the highest gold content on the Internet?" countless Internet practitioners asked.

That is, the success of Meigo.com has strengthened the belief of several domestic e-commerce companies.

Alibaba's old horse excitedly said to his subordinates: "The size of Meigou is not as good as ours at all, but their listed market value has reached 120 billion US dollars, and when we go public on Alibaba, how high can the market value be? 200 billion? Or 250 billion!"
