Chapter 119 The Madness of the NASDAQ Stock Market
Two days later, Chen Chuliang got the news that a company called "Tianhe" in the province had forcibly squeezed out investors from Suzhou and Hangzhou and reached a cooperation with Wenshui County, preparing to invest 20 million yuan to build a silk factory in the county industrial park.
History changed, Chen Chuliang told Xiao Ping to thank his friends who matched the bridge, and at the same time Xiao Ping told him a news that the company's new site has been preliminarily selected, the city center, Wenwu Road, Guancheng Building, the company is on the 18th floor, that is, the annual rent is a bit expensive, and if Aiya Technology pays for a building in the future, the company's logo building.
Chen Chuliang told him that these things will be realized.
Chen Chuliang will not care about the small things in the new workplace, just hand it over to Xiao Ping, and he knows that Guancheng Building should be a benchmark comprehensive office building in Hanzhou, a three-dimensional glass wall building, in a word, high-end atmosphere and grade, it doesn't matter how much the rent is, the company is not bad for money now.
In the blink of an eye, it was February 4, 2000.
This day is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the sound of firecrackers in the county makes the taste of the year heavier and heavier.
Making dumplings at home at noon, Han Zhi is also there, Han Laohu has three Internet cafes, almost every day in the New Year, the New Year is to make money, Chen Chuliang called Han Zhi to his house to spend Chinese New Year's Eve with their father and son, and the family is finally a little popular.
When I was busy making dumplings for Chinese New Year's Eve, the TV news in the living room broadcast that the domestic portal Sohu registered a company in the United States and had made a "public offering" to the SEC, and the listing date was just around the corner.
The three major domestic portals, Sohu took the lead in breaking this blockbuster news, which should be related to the recent crazy growth of the NASDAQ stock index, entrepreneurs from Huaxia do not want to miss the high peak of the NASDAQ stock index that is about to reach 5000 points, and are ready to march to the rich abroad.
Sohu is really willing to spend money, and can give itself a strong wave of publicity in the regular media, which must be in preparation for going public in the United States.
The year 2000 was the craziest year for the Chinese Internet, with overseas investors wandering around Zhongguancun all day long with money in their hands, and beggars with .com written on a bowl could get tens of millions of dollars in venture capital, not to mention a portal giant like Sohu. What's more, Sohu spent a lot of money last year to acquire ZZCN, a community website, and used the community model to retain users of the portal and expand its own plate, which paved its own way before going public.
It seems that Chen Chuliang has finally implemented this news, not long ago, he talked with Boss Zhang of Sohu, and the other party listened to it in his heart.
Chen Chuliang told Boss Zhang that Sohu should be listed as soon as possible, and at the same time, he also used the Nasdaq index to continue to grow wildly as a powerful statement, if he missed this opportunity, he would regret it in the future.
Come to think of it, Boss Zhang is also interested in the upward trend of the NASDAQ index.
If, at this time, Sohu enters the NASDAQ listing, taking advantage of this wave of east wind, the results are absolutely gratifying.
Boss Zhang knows that now the other two domestic websites, NetEase and Sina, are staring at the NASDAQ and preparing for listing, and Sohu must strike first, so he spent a lot of money to acquire ZZCN, use the community to retain members, and also began to raise funds.
Of course, Chen Chuliang must not be so kind.
He is actually cheating Boss Zhang, and at the same time, he is also using Boss Zhang as a springboard to complete his efforts to make him a wave before the Internet bubble economy comes.
He has $5 million in Sohu stock. The sooner Sohu goes on the market, the more he earns, and it's only February, and in March, the Nasdaq index soared to 5,200 points, as long as Sohu is listed in this range. The shares of Sohu in his hand can be multiplied several times.
Of course, after March, Chen Chuliang will definitely sell all the Sohu shares in his hands.
Because he knows that the dot-com bubble is coming. And it quickly fell below 80 percent in a year, and even the three companies listed on the domestic portal news website, Sina, NetEase, and Sohu, all fell below the trading price of one dollar.
It seems that in memory, Sohu's listing date is July this year, and I really hope that the butterfly effect will appear, so that Sohu can be listed within this time and make a lot of money from him, maybe the money earned, and you can buy Sohu in another year and a half.
didn't let Chen Chuliang wait for long.
February 14th, Valentine's Day in the West.
On this day, the butterfly effect appeared, and the domestic portal news website Sohu was officially listed on the NASDAQ.
Yanjing, the headquarters of Sohu Company, has long been ready for champagne and celebration parties, and a group of employees of Sohu Company are waiting to witness the miracle.
Starting at 12:30 p.m., Sohu's stock opened at $28 a share, then soared all the way to the close, with a trading price of 58 shares, a growth rate of 200 percent.
The news of Sohu's listing made the other two portal news Sina and NetEase unable to sit still, and they followed one after another for the company's listing, but they didn't know that whether it was Sohu or them, the outcome they were waiting for was the fact that the stock plummeted after a month.
On the day Sohu went public, Chen Chuliang was on his way back to school by car.
All the visas for the technical backbone led by Tan Qunzhao to South Korea have been completed, and they are waiting for the boss to go to South Korea under the order of the company. It's not interesting to stay at home, Chen Chuliang plans to go back to school in advance to be busy with the company's affairs, and Xiao Ping also informed him that the company's new workplace is scheduled to move on February 20, so that he, the boss, still has to show up to take a look.
Unexpectedly received a call from Kang Donghai telling him that Sohu was listed, and he was not surprised at all.
Kang Donghai told Chen Chuliang on the phone that his five million Sohu shares should have been earned, and when he came to Yanjing, he wanted to invite Chen Chuliang to dinner. Because Kang Donghai, as the negotiator of Sohu's acquisition of ZZCN, vaguely felt that Sohu's boss's determination to go public should be related to this young man.
Chen Chuliang said the same.
Keep rising, now the Nasdaq stock index has not even reached 5,000 points, let alone reached a high peak like 5,200. He can take advantage of the opportunity of Sohu's listing to multiply his $5 million in half a month.
Money, of course, is the more the merrier.
Thinking that a month later, tens of millions of dollars would be added to his account, Chen Chuliang's mood was very happy.
Back at the office, employees are saying "Happy New Year, boss" and other blessings, the new workplace has been renovated, the time for moving in has been determined, and some people are starting to pack their things and prepare to move.
Xiao Ping went out to work on his new workplace, and with him were Wang Su, the company's human resources manager, and Li Xiang, the financial manager. These three people are the company's housekeeper combination, Tan Qunzhao and Zhang Ning are the company's product technology combination, and they are still staying in this studio of only fifty or sixty square meters.
Seeing Chen Chuliang, Zhang Ning put down the work he was doing and said directly: "Boss, you asked me to pay attention to whether a software company called OICQ in Shenzhen has any intention of selling, it seems that I have eyebrows, I have sent a fax to the other party, and also quoted our price, but the other party has not replied for the time being." ”
"Oh?"
OICQ is the future QQ, this small instant messaging software, and later became a legendary company that dominated the Chinese Internet in one fell swoop, with a market value of trillions. Chen Chuliang originally planned to buy him ahead of schedule, because no one knew better than Chen Chuliang the threat posed by this small instant messaging software to any Internet company.
"Keep sending faxes to the other party, and if we can't buy it, then we have to develop a software like this. ”
would rather kill by mistake than let go, since Chen Chuliang has replaced Shanda, QQ in the future will naturally not let go.
