Chapter 283: Ringing the bell is cool for a while
Local time on Friday, the last trading day of the week.
On the NASDAQ exchange, Baidu's name, logo, and exchange number are pasted on several large screens at the entrance, and in addition, there are Chinese elements such as red Chinese knots and paper-cuts in the main hall.
In 1999, China.com went public in the United States, becoming the first Internet company to eat crabs, followed by NetEase, Sohu, and Sina.com, which started a small upsurge of Chinese Internet companies going public in the United States.
Two years later, the dot-com bubble burst, and the stock prices of internet companies continued to hit new lows, and their market value was cut in half......
In 2005, the Internet industry flourished again, and another Chinese Internet listed company, does it mean that a new climax is coming?
In the hall, a tuxedo-clad host announced loudly, "Baidu is online today!"
Robin Li took Ma Dongmin's hand and came to the rostrum together, the two looked at each other and smiled, and at the same time pressed and held the bell button!
There was sparse applause in the hall, and the trader in the orange vest looked up and continued to stare at the dozens of screens in front of him.
Xu Lili deliberately dressed up today: wearing an ivory white cheongsam, embroidered with magpies, swallows and other birds on her chest.
Looking at the noisy trading hall, his eyes widened, and he was slightly puzzled, "Isn't that the case on TV? It should be like a big bell in a temple, with several people holding drumsticks, so that there is a sense of ceremony......
Sun Buqi explained in a low voice, "The NASDAQ has long been electronic!"
Seeing that the girl's face was lost, and her idol was shattered, she gently comforted, "The Shenzhen and Shanghai stock markets still retain the habit of ringing bells, and the big gong is struck in the Hong Kong Stock Exchange...... Wherever you want to go, let's go there and go public! It's actually pretty cool to ring the bell......"
The domineering president possessed, Xu Lili's eyes were full of little stars, and she kept nodding.
After the bell ringing ceremony, it is time for a group photo session.
couldn't stand Xu Lili's eye attack, Sun Buqi took his girlfriend's hand and slowly came to the rostrum.
Ma Dongmin smiled, as the hostess, and praised generously, "Little Brother Sun is really energetic today, and Miss Xu is also very beautiful; when I see you two, I think of the days when I graduated from the University of Science and Technology and went to study in the United States." ”
Sun Buqi arched his hand and smiled, "Baidu's listing is equivalent to the title of the gold list in ancient times; Mr. Li once again experienced one of the four joys of life, and maybe there are two more at night." ”
In the face of ridicule, Robin Li couldn't keep his normal heart and began to retort, "I saw you muttering down there just now, I don't know what bad things you are planning?"
"I just read a news report on NetEase, and the name is: Baidu is more valuable than going public. After attracting the attention of several people, Sun Buqi continued: "The author said: Baidu's successful listing, netizens with national integrity will be happy, although we will not give them a penny...... Intellectually speaking, selling to Google is the best option!"
"What nonsense!" Xu Yong interrupted and interrupted the retelling, and scolded angrily: "Those literati have been kneeling for a long time, and when they see others standing up, they feel that they are rebellious......!
As the co-founder of Baidu, he was also invited to New York, but he did not have the right to ring the bell himself.
Robin Li remained silent and gestured to continue.
Sun Buqi shrugged his shoulders and said, "The main basis of that author: the MPS, Xiaba and Yingba services provided by Baidu are illegal in the United States...... The company was sold to Google, and the trouble was given to the other party, let's get the money, a win-win situation! ”
It was so reasonable, and several people were dumbfounded.
Robin Li shook his head with a wry smile, "If you want to cause a lawsuit, we are not as good as you." The Wall Street Journal's report on the turtle is no less than that of Baidu and Google. In front of the law against the United States, we are a united front again. ”
Sun Buqi didn't want to answer this question, so he turned his head and asked, "Mr. Xu, if you have any activities in the future, you can take me with you." ”
was forced to sell a large part of the shares, and now the other party is mocking as a winner, Xu Yong's face turned red, and he really wanted to walk away.
Sun Buqi looked serious, "Regarding education, especially primary education, I really want to make a contribution. It is said that education is the cheapest form of national defense, and I agree with it. ”
Could it be that he lives the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain?
Xu Yong smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Next week, I will go to Stanford University for MBA studies and return to school." ”
Whether there is unwillingness in the words, only he knows.
After a long time of price matching, the big screen shows Baidu's opening price: $75!
There was silence in the hall for a while, and then it turned into a noisy vegetable market, and I couldn't believe my eyes: Baidu's IPO was $30, and the opening price soared to $75, $45 higher, up 150%!
Such a big scene only appeared a few years ago, when Netscape and Yahoo were listed......
The old trader who has experienced the bursting of the Internet bubble has a little moist eyes and a doubt in his heart: everything is back!
The media was even more excited, the flashing lights were non-stop, and the hall resounded with a "click" sound.
Sun Buqi was stunned for a moment, twitched the corners of his mouth, and pointed not far away, "Mr. Li, the CCTV reporter is here, get ready to be on the news broadcast." ”
The reporter's big face, Clinton's future friend, was very distinctive.
In a few people were surprised and pulled away.
The habit of officialdom in his previous life is not very fond of facing the media, and more importantly: he is just a green leaf today......
……
Roosevelt Hotel,
Sunlight shines through the curtains and onto the queen-size bed. ,
Windsor reached out to block the light in front of her, and let out a moan from her mouth.
The voice woke up the blonde beauty next to her, rubbed her eyes, and asked loudly, "Why am I here?" What did you do to me?"
The girl's face was frightened, and her voice broke the gong, obviously scaring herself.
Pointing to the marks of the great battle on the bed and under the bed, Windsor shrugged, "As long as you have eyes, you will naturally guess ......" licked her lips and whispered temptation, "The man is comfortable, right?"
The blonde beauty covered her head and said to herself, "Last night, you called me and asked me to come to the hotel, and after entering the door, you gave me a cigarette ......"
His face tightened, and he asked sharply, "What did you add to your cigarette?"
Windsor pressed the other party's shoulder and said lightly, "Little baby, that's not the point. Pointing to the camera on the windowsill, "Everything is on it...... Yesterday you were very proactive......"
The blonde beauty was furious, "How can you do that?"
The girl bargained and roared the lion and threw everything at hand on the balcony.
Windsor turned on the TV and tuned to CNN: financial news was airing, Baidu's stock soared to $150, becoming a veritable dark horse on the Nasdaq today.
A group photo of Baidu and his party appeared on TV, and the editor gave a long shot very intimately.
