I don't know how many people are waiting for this moment to come. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this moment, Orlando Bryan, the CEO of Lucent Technologies at the time, put down the work at hand and switched the computer to the stock interface early, locking the interface of a new Nasdaq stock that was still blank. Ironically, while he was staring at Cisco, its "biggest" competitor in the router market, the computers were using Cisco routers and switch equipment.

At this moment, Jordan Belfort, who was wearing a cheap suit again, once again infiltrated the NASDAQ exchange with a forged certificate in order to get rid of the unemployment problem after the "87 stock market crash". He's glued to the screen with a lot of stockbrokers, waiting for the stock they've been crushing to rise. Jordan failed to fool James Cameron this time, but he also succeeded in getting a real estate developer named "Trump" to foolishly invest two million dollars in his own investment. It's a guy who can be easily cheated out of money, but it's a win-win.

At this moment, in Microsoft's headquarters in Redmond, Seattle, Bill Gates is sitting behind his desk, his chin in his hands, staring at the computer with interest. My friend Alice's own business is about to go public, and he has just commissioned a transaction of 800,000 yuan, and is now bidding on other orders. At the same time, he was also guessing, as Paul Allen, who was sitting next to him, thought to himself, this time there should be no more IT companies that don't have a long eye, dare to make any more trouble when Cisco goes public, right?

At this moment, in the general manager's office of Los Angeles DreamWorks, Roger Lawrence pushed away all the work that should be done, rubbing his chin constantly, and holding on to the stock chart that was still blank. There's really no curve to look at right now, but as a professional venture capitalist who worked on Wall Street for a long time in his early years, he's staring at the small display in the upper right corner of the call auction. It is worthy of his old employer, who has worked part-time, and is worthy of the professional company that he took the initiative to introduce to Alice, and the accurate valuation will inevitably bring a rich harvest to the opening. This is one of the reasons why he also has a large amount of money to participate in the bidding.

At this moment, James Wong asked for leave to stay at home, and stayed in front of the computer with Sophie. Of course, Oscar and Hannah also took special leave for this, and the whole family would stay at home and stare at the computer together, but they would always be able to walk around the house because of their excitement. Of course, this is not the case with James, after all, unlike Microsoft, Cisco is equivalent to his own daughter's founding, even if she does not go to San Jose many times. His heart was so excited that if it weren't for the fact that he knew that his daughter couldn't be disturbed now, he would have been tempted to call San Jose.

Also at this moment, the entire Silicon Valley and most of the IT companies in the United States are also staring at the listing of the stock. Because, everyone knows very well what the industry is like today. The computer hardware industry is maturing, and the PC side is gradually spreading to thousands of households; The news that the new operating system will be released first under the leadership of Microsoft and will be launched next spring will really increase the market value of this company; Telecom operators around the world are accelerating the advancement of network infrastructure, and the convenience that the network can bring to the economy is felt by industry insiders. Therefore, when Cisco, the leader and leading enterprise in the emerging industry of "Internet hardware", is finally about to enter the stage of going public, God knows how many lines across the country have led to the NASDAQ exchange at this moment.

Should it be celebrated? As a result of last year's "exchangegate" incident when Microsoft went public, the NASDAQ exchange has ruthlessly upgraded its hardware configuration, not only installing Cisco's firewalls, switches, and routers, which are the well-known "three musketeers," but also purchasing a number of mainframe computers from HP, no longer IBM. So, when thousands of data traffic poured here, it easily withstood the test.

"One minute left."

Staring at the well-tuned clock, Alice said, "Fifty seconds!" ”

In the wide and full office of the technical department, a pair of eyes are staring at the monitor, and their eyes are constantly sweeping on the y-axis of the opening position. The first transaction volume is a historical number, and Cisco is definitely not bad!

"Forty seconds!"

But at this moment, Alice's heart was calm, because she knew too much.

"Thirty seconds!"

To be reasonable, when Cisco went public in 1990, it opened at only seven cents as a stock on the Nasdaq, not as a blue-chip stock in New York and Los Angeles. It was only after the great development of the 90s that its overall stock price came out of a standard "inverted figure-eight" shape, easily reaching a price of $83 in 2000, an increase of nearly 1,200 times.

"Twenty seconds!"

But now it's a little different, not only did the Posacks not launch their first router until 1986, but the quality was definitely not as advanced as Alice's. The product was launched late, the market expansion speed is far from being comparable to now, and the main switch of God will not be acquired until 1993, not to mention the firewall that appeared in advance and is super hot in response to the 'exchange gate'.

"Ten seconds!"

Therefore, the early development of Cisco, and the accelerated warm-up of the industry market, will inevitably make this listing on December 31, 1987, far more than Alice's achievements in 90 years. She had nothing to worry about at all.

"Nine seconds!"

There was silence.

"Eight seconds!"

Leonardo Bossak was silent, but anyone could see the cold sweat on his forehead.

"Seven seconds!"

Sandy Bossak rubbed her hands together nervously, and almost jumped up.

"Six seconds!"

"Five!"

"Four!"

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

Suddenly, a string of numbers appeared.

15.87。

"Fifteen yuan, eight cents and seven cents!"

"Everyone remembers this number for the old lady!"

With the girl's sudden shout, the entire office instantly turned into a sea of noise. Seven or eight staff members stood directly on the table, shouting as if they were frantically; The female staff also have no time to maintain their image, and the girls with coiled hair are messed up, not to mention the young girls with ponytails.

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

The executives hugged each other in front of the stage, and Mr. and Mrs. Bossak were the first to hug each other, and both immediately opened their arms to Alice.

"Haha, fifteen dollars, that's more than Microsoft's original opening price...... No, the issue price, the haha issue price! ”

If the opening price is a big joke, who doesn't know that Microsoft is the direct cause of "exchangegate"? The investment company responsible for the IPO set a high issue price at the good end, but the damn IBM used hacking to block the lively bidding at the good end, so that it could only rely on a pitiful few dollars to open the market. How can that case be applied to Cisco?

"It's going to go up, it's definitely going to go up again!"

"We're all rich!"

"Long live Alice! Hey, who's that, how many shares do you hold!? ”

"Guys, don't just cheer and stare at the dot screen!"

Under the influence of the voice of the caring person, the sound of joy gradually quieted down a lot, and everyone stared at the monitor.

Sure, it's rising, but it's not surprisingly high, at least not like Microsoft's skyrocketing from a few cents.

"Thirty degrees oblique." Looking at the curve, Alice nodded with satisfaction: "This pattern is beautiful enough, let's rise slowly, if the closing price can be 20 yuan, our income will be indispensable." ”

20 yuan is only a 30% increase, and it will definitely be easily achieved, no one doubts this. Unlike Microsoft, which only gave out $2 million as shares when it went public, Cisco, which had already made a monthly profit of $5 million, easily sold $50 million and distributed 10 million shares at an issue price of $5.

In other words, even a 30% increase, counting today's opening price, will definitely make the company's market value reach 200 million yuan!

200 million ......

It's a chilling word just to think about, after all, the development of a company is basically calculated in years, and now it's only the first day of opening. With a starting capital of 50 million yuan and a single-day net income of 150 million yuan, as long as you think about it a little, you will know how bright Cisco's development prospects will be even in a year!

"How can it be so high?" So immediately after the excitement, when the calm gradually returned, Bosak first asked: "The five-yuan issue price offered to us at the time of the IPO, I still think this amount is too high, after all, we only have a three-year development history." But now, the opening price of a full fifteen yuan ......"

"Because of the combined effect." Alice looked at the trend chart and said: "Most enterprises are developing step by step normally, but we have encountered many emergencies. Like what...... Exchange Gate. ”

As soon as they heard this word, the executives around them burst into laughter.

Because this matter is really big.

IBM certainly has losses, and who knows how many institutions made profits from it when its stock price was sluggish. But if there is anyone who has benefited the most from this incident, it is really no one else but Cisco.

The first is the increase in hard power, that is, the large number of companies that want to buy its products, and the sheer number of orders is the direct culprit of the company's recruitment of thousands of employees in just three years. Even so, down-line manufacturers with limited productivity have had to make the closing time of many orders highly delayed. That's a huge, consistent, long-term profit that Alice didn't get from the White House or the Pentagon.

And then there is soft publicity, Microsoft's listing has been affected, which naturally makes many people pay attention to network security issues. In this context, of course, there are countless people who are looking forward to the vigorous development of Cisco, and when the IPO was valued, this soft and hard power did not add value to it.

"Think about it......" Behind him was the extremely noisy voice of employees, but Bossak couldn't help but think more, his eyes wandered over Alice: "I ...... at the beginning"

"Today, we all have a day off!" Suddenly, Alice disrupted Bossak's thoughts, and even made the long employees happy and quiet: "I know that you definitely don't have the heart to work today, and you have a day off, so you can do whatever you like!" ”

Finished, listening to the laughter of the big guy tearing over the ceiling even more, Alice looked back at Bossak and grinned, "You're right?" (To be continued.) )
