What the bosses and executives were doing on the night of the company's IPO was not of interest to the public. The soaring stock price of the www.biquge.info, the market value of hundreds of millions of yuan, and the elated mood of every shareholder who bought the stock are the continuous focus of the media. Therefore, when the new year arrived, on New Year's Day on January 1, 1988, many media outlets, led by major newspapers such as the Wall Street Journal and the Los Angeles Times, reported on Cisco's listing.

"We have finally waited for this day, Cisco has always been a leader in this industry, and we are very optimistic about its prospects and look forward to further cooperation with it. This is the spokesperson's answer to a reporter's question at IBM's New Year's press conference.

"What a great irony, IBM is better than Cisco Systems?" Dan'er, when IBM's New Year's press conference ended, reporters made up such an article on their own in response to the spokesperson's answer.

I still remember that on the day of Microsoft's listing, IBM secretly tampered with the data of its call auction by relying on Cisco's old model routers, and was poked out by the angry Alice Wang. Using the products of Microsoft's second-largest shareholder company to jeopardize the development of another key company, the bold IBM wisely chose a friendly development path with Cisco after tasting the pain of the lawsuit. ”

But it's also a cause for concern, as Cisco doesn't have the right not to sell its products to IBM. So, with the company's current state-of-the-art routers, especially firewalls, it is doubtful that IBM's self-proclaimed 'internal troublemakers' will cease to do so. ”

Such a report was published in the relevant section of the New York Times with great fanfare, and it immediately caused a very sensational impact. Journalists always like to exaggerate whether the facts are true, but there are some insecure people who blindly choose to believe, let alone say that IBM does have a criminal record. In this way, on the second day of the New Year, when many investors saw this report early in the morning, the stock market after the opening was lively.

"Bastard bastard bastard!"

At ten o'clock, in the CEO's office at IBM headquarters in Ackmont, New York, Akol angrily slammed the newspaper on the table: "Which bastard wrote this!?"

Shouting, he obviously ignored the reporter's signature at the beginning of the article, and only cared about being angry with the new CFO Mirova, who was invited. As for his predecessor, he had been with the company for five years but resigned shortly after the Exchangegate scandal.

"We can directly sue the New York Times, because it not only maliciously created bad public opinion, but also directly caused our company's stock price to fall. Milova sat in a chair in the reception area, and although the computer was not nearby, she also got the data from Akol.

"Gotta appeal, let this damn newspaper taste the subpoena!" Arker continued to growl, staring at the computer at his desk, his heart dripping blood, really bleeding.

Ah, just because of just one article, the company's stock price fell by three percent after the opening, and billions of dollars evaporated in an instant, and it was all thanks to this damn article!

"The appeal is due, but I don't think it's that simple. Milova sat here, of course, not to be Akol's punching bag, and she said calmly: "Journalists' manuscripts are all submitted to the editor-in-chief for review, how can such an offensive article by name and name pass the review?

After yelling at him a few times, Arco's anger dissipated slightly, but his mind was still chaotic as he looked at the declining stock price on his computer. While thinking about how to explain to the board of directors, he also had to think about how to deal with potential enemies, but it gave him a headache.

“…… Wait!" Coldly, he thought of something and said to Milova: "Give me yesterday's dragon and tiger list!"

The Dragon and Tiger List is a term in the financial world, which lists the purchase and sale quota of a certain stock on the day, from which you can see the identity of the specific shareholder. Mirova also immediately figured out the key, and immediately got up and said, "I'll give you the information!"

This coverage of IBM is a big deal for the company itself, but it is still insignificant for the second day of the whole new year. Many middle- and senior-level white-collar workers who read financial news every day do not focus most of their energy on the word IBM, but focus on another key company.

Cisco's go-to-market follow-up is very good.

The financial disclosure work has begun, and everyone can see the inside of Cisco on the board. The 10 million shares of $50 million had been sold, and more than 5 million transactions were underway the next day. Many ordinary investors who made good returns on the first day of listing were satisfied with a good return to get rid of the stocks, and in turn, more retail investors who did not buy the company's shares on the first day were also attracted by this high income, and immediately bought the shares they sold, and the stock price rose a little.

So, after closing with a 46% rise on the first day, Cisco's stock price rose another 17% on the second day, and when the news about IBM came out in the early morning of January 2, the company's market value had risen to 270 million, only three days before and after!

At the same time, the first premium dividend was also paid.

Since no one can guarantee the rise and fall after the opening, the issue price of the stock will basically be higher than the face value for the protection of the most basic demands. The higher part will be distributed in cash in the shortest time after listing, so that the shareholders can gain a large amount of personal assets in the shortest time.

That is, when Alice divides the company's assets totaling $50 million into 10 million shares equally, the unit price of $5 is the face value. Cisco's stock was issued at a price of a few cents above face value, which may seem like a small amount to the point where almost no one would specifically name that number, but it at least meant that a lump sum of cash would be distributed to all shareholders immediately, without having to wait for a fixed annual dividend payout.

Therefore, when the total premium dividends of hundreds of thousands of yuan were quickly distributed on the third day after listing, the work passion of thousands of Cisco employees was completely stimulated!

All employees of the company can hold option shares, and when Alice came to the company half a year ago to announce her decision, it can be said that no company had ever done such a thing. Option stocks, buying stocks at the company's internal price rather than the secondary market price of the stock, which has always been a means for listed companies to attract talented employees, but none of them have to pay some price. All shareholdings, the bosses of the past would never be so generous!

Therefore, when the premium dividends of hundreds of thousands of dollars are evenly distributed to 1,000 people in seconds, how can we not make everyone happy?

Don't look at the fact that each person can only receive a few hundred yuan, but according to the price of the United States, this is also a bachelor's food expenses for a whole month, or even a whole month's rent!

It's not an official year-end bonus yet, it's just a simple premium!

"Hey, hey, look, look at my screen!"

Building 2 of the company's new headquarters building, in the office area of the marketing department, the young staff member Mien said happily: "Do you see this money in the account? Haha, have you seen this in the account? My income for a week, I for a week...... Oops!"

Bourbon, who was sitting next to him, kicked him in the chair: "Isn't it just a week's income, and you can still use it for a car loan? I really don't understand what you kid thinks, you actually take out a loan to buy a Lamborghini to drive? Good guy, do you know that our boss doesn't have his own car yet?"

This sentence caused a burst of laughter from the colleagues around him, and it was almost noon lunch break, and Bryce, who was halfway through the work at hand, looked up and said, "Hey, Mean, I think you can give your Lamborghini to Alice." The first car in the life of a sixteen-year-old girl, she will definitely remember you for a lifetime as a handsome guy~"

A good joke, Bourbon laughed. However, Mien, who had just graduated from ULCA, sneered, "Actually, I really talked to my boss......

"What's that!?Are you kidding?"

"Man, even the guys in the technical department, if you want to see the boss from afar, you have to rely on luck, you just joined our marketing department and talked to her!?

"No kidding, I'm telling the truth. Mien said seriously: "I'm not a UCLA graduate, don't you know that our boss's father is a professor of history at this university?"

There was a small silence, and then Bonn spoke: "How can we know ......?"

Bryce sat in a distant position and said happily, "It seems that you are really interested in our big boss." So tell me what the boss might be doing right now?"

"Hey, how can you be so embarrassed?" Minn was reluctant, but just as he was about to say something, a phone call suddenly came to his office phone.

The practice of having a phone for every employee is redundant for other companies. But Cisco, as a leading enterprise in an industry like Internet hardware, certainly cares more about this than anyone else. Not only does every employee have a telephone, but also a complete set of internal phone numbers in each person's hand, which makes it easy to communicate across departments and indeed contribute to the improvement of work efficiency.

But it also means that anyone can hang up on anyone. Therefore, as a newcomer, Mien did not dare to slack off at all, and immediately picked up the microphone.

"Hello, hello?"

First the greeting, then a moment of silence, and the young man's strange expression, and his constant "yes yes yes".

Then, the phone hangs up.

"What's the matter, buddy," Bonn wondered when he saw the newcomer's strange expression, "It can't be your mother's illness, right?"

"Ahem, what are you talking about? Mien's young face desperately tried to hide a smug smile, but it was very unsuccessful: "Boss, that's right, Bonn, our big boss Alice suddenly called me and asked me to book a plane ticket to Hong Kong for her and her family!"

As he spoke, the young man hummed a little tune triumphantly, and when it was time for lunch, he began to work again with great interest. The old employees around looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. (To be continued.) )
