Chapter 320: Suspension of Trading

Zhang Siyuan, who was sitting in the study of the foreign house on Julu Road, naturally felt Zeng Fuhu's excitement, and laughed with a smile: "Mr. Zeng, don't get excited, don't get excited. You're going to be on stage in an hour, and you'll be representing the face of our company. If you can't speak with excitement by then, it's a joke. ”

"Mr. Zhang, don't worry, I will definitely not embarrass the company. Just wait for my good news, I'm sure investors will see the potential of our company and our share price will not disappoint you. Zeng Fuhu on the other end of the phone calmed down.

Although he was still a little excited, he didn't look like he used to be. After the two of them chatted for a while, they hung up the phone. Zeng Fuhu was about to ring the bell, and Zhang Siyuan was waiting to see the performance of Sohu stocks.

After a long wait, the time finally came to 21 o'clock Beijing time in 1999, which is 9 o'clock in the morning of New York time in 1999. Zhang Siyuan looked at the time in the lower left corner of the computer, and thought to himself that Zeng Fuhu should have been ready to give a speech at this time. There is still half an hour to open, and his net worth will be known by then.

Zhang Siyuan thought about it, and time gradually passed. Soon the time came to 9:30, and the picture on Zhang Siyuan's computer screen began to change.

Looking at the price displayed on the computer screen, Zhang Siyuan wiped his eyes. Picked up the mobile phone next to him and broadcast it to Zeng Fuhu, and when the phone was connected, Zhang Siyuan asked Zeng Fuhu: "Mr. Zeng, the issue price of our shares is $20 per share?"

This can't be blamed on Zhang Siyuan's surprise, in Zhang Siyuan's memory, the original issue price of Sohu listed on the NASDAQ was only $13, and now it is a little more than half higher. I didn't expect that going public before the Internet bubble could have such benefits, and Zhang Siyuan couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart at this time.

"Yes, Mr. Zhang. The issue price is $20 per share, and the issue volume is five million shares. We currently have a market capitalization of one billion dollars. I don't know what I'll be able to achieve by the time the market closes. Zeng Fuhu on the other end of the phone replied with a smile.

Zhang Siyuan heard Zeng Fuhu say this, and smiled: "Okay, Mr. Zeng, you should be very busy at this time, you should be busy first." I'll go back to Yanjing tomorrow, and we'll start talking again when you come back." ”

When Zhang Siyuan was talking to Zeng Fuhu, he suddenly heard Zeng Fuhu's exclamation: "Oh my God." ”

Zhang Siyuan, who was sitting on a chair in the study, heard Zeng Fuhu's exclamation, and hurriedly asked, "Mr. Zeng, what's wrong?"

"Mr. Zhang, you can see the U.S. stock market over there. If you look at our Sohu stock price, it's going crazy. Zeng Fuhu, who was on the New York Stock Exchange, was so excited that he didn't even say an honorific title.

When Zhang Siyuan heard this, he looked down and saw that Sohu's stock price was rising rapidly. At the moment when he talked to Zeng Fuhu, it had risen to 22 US dollars, that is, 10 percent.

"Mr. Zeng, what's the situation?" Zhang Siyuan hurriedly asked Zeng Fuhu.

Zeng Fuhu on the other end of the phone replied: "Mr. Zhang, you wait, I'll ask the people who see Goldman Sachs." ”

Zhang Siyuan hung up the phone when he heard this, and Sohu had suspended trading at this time. U.S. stocks are not the same as domestic stocks, and domestic stock markets cannot rise or fall if they rise or fall within 10 percent.

The U.S. stock market is more standardized and mature than the domestic market, and the circuit breaker mechanism is divided into three sections. If it rises or falls by more than 10%, the exchange stops trading for one hour. If it rises or falls by more than 20%, the exchange stops trading for two hours. If it rises or falls by more than 30%, trading stops for the day.

So at this time, Sohu has suspended trading, and Zhang Siyuan is happy in his heart. According to the current stock price, if he sells Sohu, then he will get more than 5 billion in cash. Coupled with the cash he has invested outside and the cash on his body, his net worth is not far from a net worth of 10 billion.

After a while, Zeng Fuhu's phone came in again, and as soon as the phone was connected, Zhang Siyuan heard Zeng Fuhu's voice: "Mr. Zhang, I asked the people of Goldman Sachs." This is the sale of several major brokers, who have just acquired most of the shares, so this situation has been created. ”

"Then what kind of rhetoric did they use to make those big brokerages make a move? I don't think the big dealers are stupid, and people who don't know Goldman Sachs are so concerned about our company's stocks as soon as they say it, right?"

"It is the reason for the news publication license, and several major brokerages have studied our national conditions. They felt that we had the potential to invest, so after Goldman Sachs beautified us, they did it without much thought. Zeng Fuhu replied.

Zhang Siyuan thought for a while, and asked Zeng Fuhu: "Mr. Zeng, have you sold the shares in your hand?"

"Nope. Zeng Fuhu replied very dryly.

For Zeng Fuhu, Sohu is worth his life in it, and of course he will not sell Sohu's shares. Otherwise, when Tian Minghao's people came to him, he sold the shares.

Zhang Siyuan pondered for a moment, and said to Zeng Fuhu: "Mr. Zeng, let me give you a suggestion. If we restart trading and our stock rises by more than 10% again, then the third time you start trading, you sell your shares. Of course, it is sold to those investment companies. ”

"Why?" Zeng Fuhu asked suspiciously.

The company's stock market is so good, but Zhang Siyuan asked him to sell all his shares. Zeng Fuhu couldn't figure out why Zhang Siyuan asked him to do this, so he asked very simply.

Zhang Siyuan did not answer this question to Zeng Fuhu, but said: "Believe me, you will do this, you can help me ask if anyone is willing to ask for my shares." I am willing to transfer 17% of my shares, and if anyone wants to, they can notify me directly, at any time. ”

Because of Zhang Aiguo's warning, 20% of Zhang Yangchao's shares have been transferred to Zhang Siyuan. Zhang Siyuan's shareholding in Sohu has reached 68 percent, and now that 17 percent has been transferred, Zhang Siyuan still owns 51 percent of the shares. has absolute control of the company, so Zhang Siyuan wants to cash out this part of the shares in his hand.

Zeng Fuhu didn't ask again when he heard this, since Zhang Siyuan was unwilling to tell him, no matter how he asked, there would be no result. Out of trust in Zhang Siyuan, he was ready to watch the situation for a while.

After hanging up Zeng Fuhu's phone, Zhang Siyuan stared at the U.S. stock market on the computer screen. Before the rebirth, Sohu was listed on the NASDAQ, and there was no wave at all. Today, Sohu was listed for less than ten minutes, and the first trading was suspended, and Zhang Siyuan couldn't help but be full of expectations for today's transaction.

This is probably the most relevant thing for him at the moment, because because of the series of events that occurred after his rebirth, Sohu became his company. Then it was listed more than seven months ahead of the company's lifetime, and the issue price was also seven dollars higher than that before the company's death. Now that the price limit is up again, Zhang Siyuan naturally thinks that Sohu can create a miracle today.

After waiting for an hour, Sohu shares resumed trading. It's just that this time it's not as fast as just now, Zhang Siyuan also shook his head with a smile. I really think too much, the current Sohu does not have as much capital as ten years later, it is almost the same to have the current price, and I still think that it can impact a higher market value, which is really a bit of a fantasy.

Thinking of this, Zhang Siyuan picked up his mobile phone and walked upstairs. He is ready to wash up and go to bed, and he will fly to Yanjing at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, he doesn't want to be in bad spirits tomorrow to accompany Zhou Zixuan.

After walking to the bedroom, Zhang Siyuan threw his mobile phone on the bed and went to the bathroom in the room to wash himself. After washing up and getting into the quilt, Zhang Siyuan adjusted the alarm clock on his mobile phone and prepared to sleep.

Half an hour later, just as Zhang Siyuan was about to fall asleep in a daze, his mobile phone began to ring again. For people who have the gas to get out of bed, being woken up when they are about to fall asleep is like a grenade pulling the bracelet open, and it can explode at any time.

Fumbling to bring the phone to his ear, Zhang Siyuan didn't even look at it, and answered the phone directly: "Who?"

"Mr. Zhang, it's me. It's gone up, it's up, you're in front of the computer, and our stocks have stopped trading again. Zeng Fuhu's crazy voice came from the phone microphone.

Zhang Siyuan, who was originally very angry, immediately sobered up after hearing Zeng Fuhu's words, picked up his coat and walked downstairs to the study. I walked downstairs to the study and turned on the standby computer, and sure enough, it showed that Sohu stock had entered the second trading suspension stage.

Zeng Fuhu's phone did not hang up this time, and Zhang Siyuan, who had calmed down, asked Zeng Fuhu: "Mr. Zeng, what's going on?"

"Mr. Zhang, this time it's about you. I don't know where the news came from, and you have sent out your relationship with Times Technology and Sohu. Then several major brokerages became more enthusiastic about Sohu's shares, and I don't know where they got so much confidence, anyway, now our stocks are hard to find. ”

Zeng Fuhu was already a little confused at this time, and he couldn't understand why those people were so keen on Sohu's stocks. Even if the boss of the two companies is Zhang Siyuan, it shouldn't have such a big effect.

When Zhang Siyuan heard this, he said to Zeng Fuhu: "Mr. Zeng, you can now contact the next family to transfer your shares." Take my word and do it, it doesn't matter if you don't. Also, I'll wait an hour, and if anyone wants to ask for my shares, you can call me, and if not, then forget it. ”

When Zeng Fuhu heard this, he found the Goldman Sachs people and relayed Zhang Siyuan's words and his willingness to transfer 5 percent of his shares. It didn't take long for a group of people to contact Zeng Fuhu.

Zeng Fuhu was taken aback by the people who contacted him, and the people in them were enough to make him look up. Intel's, Microsoft's, and a host of other bigwigs are waiting for news from him.

Zeng Fuhu couldn't help but be a little cowardly, took out his mobile phone and called Zhang Siyuan, waiting for Zhang Siyuan's instructions.
