The times have progressed, and the previous bell has become an electronic button, and when the excited Kyle and Zhao Wei pressed the yellow button, the trading hall that temporarily became quiet was full of bells and streamers, and suddenly it became full of people.

In the cheers, Zhang Zhaoyang and the others all slapped their hands desperately, but their eyes were fixed on the big screen. These men in suits and leather shoes are looking forward to the number change on both sides of the logo, which will mean that all the stocks have been sold and $1.7 billion of wealth will be in the pocket!

One minute, five minutes, ten minutes, the numbers on both sides of the logo are not displayed, and Zhao Wei, who was excited just after ringing the bell, hugged Li Jiaming's arm tightly, and found that their expressions were very wrong, and hurriedly whispered: "Jiaming, what's wrong?" ”

"It's okay, it's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided!"

"Boss, this is a good thing, it means that the bidding before the opening is fierce! Rest assured, your stock won't break. ”

That's not right!

Li Jiaming never had the opportunity to send the company here in his previous life, but he also observed the listing of others on the spot and knew that this was wrong. The more small the IPO of such a company, the lower the demand from sellers, and the shorter the bidding time before the opening.

"No, no, your Sohu has made a profit of $8.8 million in September this year, and this is still the result of your domestic Internet is not developed. Ming, if I were the CEO of those investment institutions, I would eat all your shares at a price of $100/share! ”

Who is this? Such a big breath?

Li Jiaming, who was nervous, looked back and saw that it was Son Masayoshi who was only on his shoulder, and he couldn't help but say with a thorn: "Masayoshi, you should have contacted us earlier, if you can pay $2 billion, this 25% stake will definitely be transferred to your SoftBank." ”

"No, no, we at SoftBank are venture capital companies, not financial investment institutions. Trust me, Goldman Sachs and Citi are sure to give you a huge surprise! ”

People are gentle and polite, and Li Jiaming is embarrassed to be aggressive, so he squeezed out a smile and said: "Masayoshi, this is just a $1.7 billion IPO, I don't understand it very well." ”

It's so embarrassing that Kyle next to him couldn't listen to it anymore and explained: "It is the most influential online media in China, far more influential and growing than China.com and Tom; And your profit growth rate is so amazing, almost a straight line, no one will let go of such a potential stock. ”

As soon as Kyle's words fell, the largest display in front of the hall changed, and the opening price was 89.76!

The price of .76 US dollars opened, an increase of 32% from the issue price of 68 US dollars per share, which means that the market value of SOHU instantly rushed to 8.97 billion US dollars, which is only one step away from the 9 billion mark!

'Yay'!

Sudden eruption of screams erupted in the ranks, and a group of men shouted excitedly with fists.

It worked!

After three years of struggle, we finally reaped great success!

Also cheering are the reporters of Beijing TV, SOHU is a company in Beiping, and its success is the success of the Beiping Municipal Party Committee, the government, and the people!

"Ladies and gentlemen, SOHU, the largest Internet company in China and our city, has been successfully listed, and the opening price is 30% higher than the issue price, 32% higher, and 32% higher! Reached a staggering $89.76! According to the opening price, SOHU's market capitalization will reach a staggering $8.97 billion! According to the current exchange rate, it is about, about 77.46 billion RMB!

Congratulations to SOHU, they are already the largest private enterprise in our country! ”

The reporter was incoherent, but fortunately he still remembered to explain some things to Sohu, lest the domestic media say that they were too blind. After the IPO was launched, in the two or three months before the listing, some of the big news media that asked for interviews were blocked out of the SOHU door, and the ghost knows how those reporters reported to the leaders after they went back, so they just took this opportunity to clarify.

"Ladies and gentlemen, SOHU has now entered a 'silence period' stipulated by the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission), which means that SOHU is prohibited from making any stock-related remarks for the next 25 days. For this reason, SOHU's senior management will not be interviewed by any media ...... for a month.

We at Peking TV have obtained the consent of SOHU, and after the end of the silence period, we will conduct an exclusive interview with Mr. Zhang Zhaoyang as soon as possible......"

After the excited reporter finished speaking, the excited Li Jiaming and his party waved to the camera, and then under the leadership of Lao Zhang, a group of shareholders bowed to the camera and thanked them.

There is nothing wrong with being careful, although the law in the United States does not seem to stipulate a period of silence, but the SEC believes that the period of silence must remain silent, so everyone must obediently listen to the SEC and never try to challenge the authority of the SEC. This monster has the power of legislation, administrative interpretation, investigation, civil and administrative sanctions, and the power to recommend criminal prosecutions, and it is a hundred times more troublesome to provoke it than to provoke the President of the United States.

The twenty or thirty people who were so excited that they danced returned to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, and after everyone drank the celebratory champagne, the six Chinese tour guides who had been arranged in advance hurriedly invited the netizens and celebrity friends who participated in the bell ringing to take them away and take them to visit New York. Sun Hui, who came to play and work, dragged Zhao Wei, who was trying to have fun with Li Jiaming, to play, so as not to cause trouble after this girl heard the secret; Deng Hao, who also came to gain exposure, also hurriedly said goodbye, he had to rush to the hottest time of this wealth myth, and go to major cities as quickly as possible to get those cheap land; And Zhang Zhaoyang, Li Jiaming, and their shareholders and executives made a good news call to their families, and they got together to drink and howl, a group of crazy people.

When the news of the successful listing and the skyrocketing price at the opening of the market came back to China, more than 1,000 employees of SOHU were also ecstatic, and the company upstairs and downstairs was simply unable to work.

", come out and mix, you have to be with the right person!"

"Damn, I knew this earlier, I'd rather not be this bad manager and go to sohu to do chores!"

It's not an exaggeration, how much money does a manager make in a year? It's just a hundred thousand, the gang of kings upstairs, as long as they are a little capable, which one is not a millionaire and a multimillionaire overnight? Just that Ding Lei, seeing that he was borrowing money everywhere, seeing that he couldn't hold on, seeing that he was being bought by Sohu, and seeing that he became a billionaire!

Ding Lei, who was also excited, received several protest calls, rushed to the big office and yelled at the employees to shut up, wanting to go crazy and go crazy on the rooftop.

Cool! We Ding Lei is also a multimillionaire!

No, 89.7*4%*72%, it should be 230 million US dollars, it should be more than 1.7 billion RMB, right?

1.7 billion billionaires! Whatever, anyway, he cashed out more than 100 million, which is enough to do a lot of things for himself!

In the excitement, Ding Lei only cared about calling Zeng Qiang to dinner, and even forgot about settling accounts with those unscrupulous reporters and websites. Fortunately, Zhao Shiqing, another new billionaire, was calmer, and after arranging for his subordinates to settle accounts with those small websites, unscrupulous media, and reporters, he saw that the news in the Shencheng version was not moving, and hurriedly called to remind him.

"Leizi, don't be stupid, if you don't carry out the second child's order, you will feel good when he comes back!

What command? Settle accounts after the fall! Those gang of kings have been black with us for a few months, and they still can't fight back? When have we been bullied like this? ”

Sure enough, as soon as Ding Lei gave the order here, Zhang Zhaoyang's transoceanic phone call came.

Knowing that Sohu had started settling accounts after the autumn, Lao Zhang, who was already half drunk, threw away the phone and proposed: "Lao Gu, go to Las Vegas!" ”

"What are you doing there?"

"Play! Eat, drink, prostitute and gamble! ”

"Let's go!"

Stop! Li Jiaming, who was taken care of and drank beer, hurriedly stopped the group of animals who had lost their coolness, if these reporters took a photo, Sohu's reputation would stink if it didn't stink.

Where to go? You can't be in broad daylight, a bunch of billionaire cats are binge-drunk in a hotel, right?

"Second brother, why don't you go to Beverlyhills to buy a mansion, and we will follow you to see the stars?"

"Agree to agree, second brother, you can cash out more than 1 billion with one vote, you have to learn how to spend money!"

What are you kidding, Lao Tzu has that spare money, it is better to go back to his hometown and build two more bridges!

Lao Zhang and Lao Gu will rely on him, this kid has become a billionaire, at least the family property, and the richest man in China! Although he is also a rich man, what is compared to this kid? Then why don't you take advantage of his confusion and encourage him to do something stupid?

"That's not what you say, you're going to come to the U.S. next year and you're going to have to learn to fit in. We were too poor at the beginning, and those white ghosts looked down on the yellow race, so we were bent on returning to China. You're different, you have to integrate into high society as soon as possible and get used to that luxurious life. ”

"Yes, yes, the money thing, it's your own thing that is spent, this is what you said, right?"

"That's right, Lao Gu is right, didn't you always say 'The saddest thing in life is that people die and the money is not spent'?"

Li Jiaming, who was happy, was also not determined, so he persuaded the two of them to coax each other, and felt that it was the same. I promised my eldest sister that I would give her a big yacht, so it was better to go to Marbury Beach to buy a mansion and get a yacht to send her. Like those who work in real estate, they often walk by the river without getting their shoes wet, and it is also good to have a nest in the United States and a way out. It just so happened that the fourth brother was studying at Caltech, and Miss Qiao was studying for a doctorate at the University of San Francisco, and she bought a house for them as a wedding gift, which was also convenient for them to take care of.

"Okay, let's go, go to Beverlyhills to see the stars!"

"Don't just look at it, you know what a party-girl is, you buy a big mansion, and then have a big party, and we guarantee that many beautiful foreign girls are selected by us!"

"Cattle!"
