Early the next morning, when Jordan Belfort got up, he rushed to the newsstand. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The rush hour is also the peak time for office workers to buy newspapers, and Jordan lives in a low-income apartment not far from Wall Street, so many office workers around him are also stockbrokers. When he hurried to the station, sure enough, many people even forgot to take the train, but patronized and stared at the newspaper in their hands.

Jordan immediately came up with a copy of the Wall Street Journal, and he swore by his surviving parents that he knew in his dreams what the main news of the day was.

Sure enough, there was a blockbuster news on the front page.

"$60 million on the first day of listing, Microsoft's rapid rise!"

"Good fellow, sixty million dollars!?"

Jordan exclaimed on the spot: "Microsoft's initial assets are only two million, right? Twenty times the increase, this is really amazing!"

"Be quiet, noob. ”

A middle-aged man who was waiting for the car looked at him dissatisfied, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and at a glance he knew that he was also a stockbroker: "What's so unusual about increasing the value of 20 times after listing? The key is to look at the future development, if he is suppressed by IBM, HP, Dell, believe it or not, can the stock price fall by five dollars?"

Jordan sneered and continued to stare at the newspaper.

"Due to the sharp drop in the stock market the day before yesterday, the Nasdaq index fell by 30 points, and dozens of stocks were in the red, Microsoft's shares were almost unpopular in the call auction stage, and the opening price was forced to plummet from the issue price of 21 yuan to 8 cents. But when a huge bid of $100,000 was invested, the major brokerages followed suit, which avoided the ...... that Microsoft stock might encounter a waterloo at the opening."

“…… At that time, the highest price was $32, and as of the close, the final amount was as high as $29.90, an increase of 39% from the issue price. ”

These are all news that Jordan already knows, and he even knows that the incredible bid of 100,000 yuan was thrown by himself. He also knew that if he told this story, almost every investment bank would have to treat him as a VIP employee!

After all, no one can predict the future, and no stockbroker can really know where the stock market is headed. As far as the call auction looks like no one cares about, Microsoft's first day of listing is likely to be a miserable situation all the way, not to mention the return to the issue price, it is good to be able to rise to five dollars!

But he took this opportunity to buy it at a very low price of eight cents, so that Cameron's famous celebrity customer made a huge amount of 40 million yuan in book funds with 100,000 yuan overnight!

"Wait, four hundred times the difference......"

In fact, he was thinking about it last night, but looking at the Wall Street Journal at this moment, Jordan instinctively felt that something was wrong.

Speaking of which, why did Microsoft's stock go unnoticed in the early days?

Companies that can go public will not be bad, Microsoft made a lot of money last year with its hot sales, and at the end of last year, the cooperation with IBM was even published in the newspaper, and there was even propaganda that it would not be long before the system was launched. It stands to reason that it shouldn't be so bleak anyway.

Moreover, a recent survey sent out by Microsoft proves that many people are looking forward to its stock.

"Suppressed by competitors?"

Jordan immediately guessed the possibility. Generally speaking, the suppression of the stock market is to pour in funds and forcibly push down the opening price in the call auction stage before the opening of the market. But that's not the case with Microsoft right now, if you think about it......

"IBM must have been secretly contacting the major brokers. ”

It's still early in the morning, but on the West Coast, at Microsoft's corporate headquarters in Redmond, Washington, an executive meeting is taking place in a conference room. When it comes to listing, Alice is of course present, but after all, the company was only listed yesterday, so it can't convene all major shareholders.

Goldman Sachs, ********, Citigroup, etc., as long as these large-scale brokerages and banks do not make a move, other small investment companies naturally dare not act rashly. ”

Gates presided over the meeting and told the crowd: "While the NASDAQ stock can't compete with the blue chips on the New York Stock Exchange, it's not as good as the pink penny stocks." But because we are not weak in Microsoft, when those big investors don't make a move, other institutions, no matter how big or small, don't dare to move, and they will wonder if there is something wrong with our Microsoft. ”

"It seems that IBM is spending a lot of money. ”

Paul Allen chuckled softly: "It can't make a major bank give up the proceeds of a new listing, and it can't pay tens of millions of dollars one by one." As a result, this is good, and the transaction is lost~"

There was a burst of light-hearted laughter. Just after yesterday's closing, their agent brokerage has sent the information over, and the $100,000 bid in the call auction stage is James Cameron's investment, which is a good life-saving money. After that, although Citigroup and ******** did not make a move, many large, medium and small investment institutions, led by Morgan Stanley, Rothschild and Goldman Sachs, frantically poured money into Microsoft. Eight cents to $32, that's a pretty crazy deal!

"Alice, what do you think?"

Gates suddenly found that throughout the meeting, Alice barely said a word: "You have been silent for a long time." ”

Everyone cast adoring glances at the girl, without him, whether it was the research and development and follow-up protection, or the performance in the process of cooperation with IBM, Alice's talent was simply as terrifying as a robot. Gates, Ballmer and others have joked more than once, saying that Alice's brain should be a computer, right?

"IBM must be playing tricks. ”

Alice spoke: "The public is very much looking forward to our listing, otherwise PwC would not have made an issue price of $21." But to say that no one cared about the bidding was because IBM bought off the major banks, this is nonsense, and there must be other reasons. ”

The same sentence is said by different people, and it has different effects.

Gates' face changed slightly: "You mean ......"

Alice whistled: "As early as half a year ago, IBM and the NASDAQ exchange respectively bought Cisco's routers. The blue giant is an old expert at playing computers, and the old antiques in the exchange who are still using the DOS system ......"

The words did not continue, but this sentence was enough to make the faces of all the participants darken.

The excitement of the listing made all the staff of the company fall into a carnival, and the celebration party just came last night. So, almost everyone didn't think much about the situation at the time, but now according to Alice's analysis......

Gates' brow furrowed vigorously.

At the same time, while Microsoft on the West Coast was holding its morning meeting, many companies on Wall Street on the East Coast were still busy.

In fact, all those who work in the stock market work almost 24 hours a day. The opening time is when they work hardest, and if their business involves European stocks, Japanese stocks, Hong Kong stocks and other global stocks rather than just American stocks, these people will be busy almost all day just by opening the market.

Even in the non-opening period, analyze data, pay attention to news, judge the securities market price with fundamental analysis, and make various financial reports...... It's no wonder that banks and brokerages will occupy a skyscraper in the city's financial district, but the number of employees needed is really too much.

"List of Managers ......"

At this moment, in the securities analysis department of Goldman Sachs Bank, financial analyst Milan was looking at Microsoft's relevant materials and muttering: "The second largest shareholder, Alice Wang, has a 30% stake, and then Paul Allen has a 27% share...... Am I mistaken?"

"You read that right. ”

His colleague, Tom, who was sitting at the desk next door, said: "The official time was in July '84, and then it didn't take long for it to be released, and it seemed that this was a technology shareholding." However, this Alice ......"

Tom stared strangely at the corner of his desk, where a copy of Jurassic Park was on display.

Milan was also muttering: "Alice is a very common name, and Wang is also a common Chinese surname, but put them together...... At the same time, two girls with the same name and surname popped up in the IT and entertainment worlds, Tom, what is the probability of this?"

Tom really looked down and calculated, as a top student who graduated from Harvard Business School, he majored in mathematics as an undergraduate. Calculus, statistics, matrix sketching, he really looked down and calculated this probability......

No matter how suspicious individuals are, when the time comes, the relevant institutions will publish the information of the listed company. If it is said that even before Microsoft went public, many people did not pay attention to what its executive composition was, but when the "Wall Street Journal" news that Microsoft won 60 million a day came out, countless media finally couldn't sit still!

On the fifth day of Microsoft's listing, while the stock price continued to remain high and the amount of money continued to pour in, large, medium and small newspapers had turned their passion into action, and eye-catching news headlines began to be printed in pieces.

"Microsoft's listing is full of 100 million yuan of funds, and the literary girl incarnates a super-rich man!?"

"A stock whose opening price no one cares about, but it has created a middle school girl's dream of becoming a billionaire!?"

"Is it a coincidence or an inevitability, is it the same name and surname or is it just the same person? Alice and Wang, a magical combination!"

It's a free press capital, and no one can stop journalists from writing about it, even if they need to, even if they scold the president. Although the mysterious second shareholder did not intend to appear in front of the media until the fifth day of listing, this does not mean that small and medium-sized media do not dare to use vague words to make sales.

Then, on the seventh day after the listing, Microsoft officially announced that it would hold a press conference on Wednesday, March 12, outside the Microsoft headquarters building in Redmond.

For a while, a number of financial media magazines were almost full of boiling, and many media outlets such as the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, Time Magazine, and even the overseas "Times" all booked tickets to Seattle before the 12th.

The number of people is so large that the tickets for many flights are sold out in an instant! )
