Chapter 383: Apple goes public

On January 3, 1997, Apple Computer Inc., which had been renamed Apple Inc., was re-listed, and in less than ten minutes, all 50 million shares were snapped up, and Apple's stock price rose against the trend, closing at $41 per share on the same day. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this closing price, the shares that Bill Gates doubled down on were profitable on the day they went public, which no one expected, especially at the moment when the Fed had just announced a rate hike.

That night, Lu Hao announced that the $1.8 billion raised by the sale of Apple's shares was all used to acquire Apple's production lines and other assets, and Apple will only retain R&D, design, software and other departments in the future, and all future production and sales will be outsourced.

This news is definitely a big positive for Apple, so that Apple not only got rid of the heavy burden but also got 1.8 billion US dollars in funds, which will be very important for Apple's development.

As soon as the news came out, Wall Street investors who bought Apple shares today were excited, Apple is too good...... No, Harry Potter is too good, he doesn't need to use the good news to raise the stock price at all, but waits for Apple to go public before announcing it, and this confidence is unparalleled.

The strong rise in Apple's stock price made those European investors who had just left the Snow Mountain Ranch and returned to Europe also excited to celebrate, and they couldn't wait to call Lu Hao at the high price of transferring Xiaomi shares, hoping to buy shares as soon as possible.

"I'm sorry, due to Apple's listing, the stock price of Dell Computer is more than $290, and the total market value is close to $70 billion, and our plan for Xiaomi Technology this year is to surpass Dell, so we can't transfer 30% of your shares or transfer them at a price of $30 a share." Judy politely turned down the European investors.

There is only one opportunity, the price of distrust is regret, and now Lu Hao will not be short of money at all, and the transfer of shares is just for the better development of the company.

Apple's stock price unsurprisingly rose the next day, closing at $43.5 and bringing its total market capitalization to $43.5 billion.

In just a few months, Lu Hao made a job with a market value of only $1.7 billion to $43.5 billion, which made countless Wall Street elites admire, and at the same time, it also made a new theme of speculation appear in the Wall Street stock market, that is, Harry Potter concept stocks.

The investment elite shouted to their clients that as long as it was related to Harry Potter, please close your eyes and buy it.

With the announcement of the four major companies under the matrix this year that they will enter the six major markets of Greater China, Russia, India, South Africa, the Middle East and Mexico this year, and Yahoo's prediction that it will achieve more than $3.6 billion in operating income in 97, Yahoo's stock has also risen like a tyrannical rise, closing at a record $47 per share on the 4th, surpassing Apple in market capitalization.

"Apple now has $3.3 billion in cash plus the rest of its assets, and its net assets will not be less than $5 billion, and the market value of more than $40 billion is not high, but Yahoo has no possibility of making a profit in three years, and the market value of more than $40 billion is a bit too high."

Lu Hao looked at the latest stock price and shook his head and said, saying so, but thinking in his heart, this is nothing, with the storm of the Internet, irrational hype will be more powerful in the next two years, and it will reach its peak at the end of 99 and the beginning of 2000.

Judy disapproves of Lu Hao's words, and she is not to blame, because she doesn't know how crazy Apple will be years later. It is simply irrational for her to analyze the actual situation of Apple at present, you must know that Apple has announced that it will not release any new products in 97, which is completely sitting on empty seats, and the hype of Apple's stock price is completely hyping the concept of Harry Potter.

"Apple's future is uncertain, and Yahoo's more than $3 billion in advertising revenue is actually profitable, but in recent years Yahoo has to invest in branches around the world and hire employees on a large scale.

This investment is too large, which makes Yahoo's statements ugly, but once the construction is completed, Yahoo will enter a period of rapid development, and its current market value is relatively low. Judy retorted.

Lu Hao couldn't argue with Judy about this, and he didn't have time to argue about it, he was thinking that with the establishment of the new Apple and Xiaomi Technology and Dayang Technology, the moment of Arm's rise should begin.

The current Arm company still adheres to its original principles, only a design department, and no factories to produce chips.

Now that there is no shortage of money, there will be countless partners in the equipment to buy the best in the world for themselves, and Dayang Technology has also been established, so to build its own wafer factory, in addition to the lack of talent, the time is ripe.

From the difficult development of the new motherboard and GPU research laboratory established by Xiaomi Technology this year, it can be seen that it is absolutely not allowed to cultivate talents in the time of their own training, so they can't let go of the very famous companies in their previous lives, AMD Chaowei Semiconductor Company, NVIDIA display chip manufacturers, these are necessary to be won at all costs.

"Judy, don't go with me when you go to Washington this time, you go to Kingston on my behalf to negotiate with Nvidia to acquire them by Dayang Technology." Lu Hao said.

Judy picked up a delicate invitation and said with a vinegary taste, "Are you going to invite Corinna to the White House with you?" ”

Lu Hao laughed and said jokingly, "I didn't expect Miss Judy to be jealous, why didn't I find out before?" Didn't you want me to find another one the other day? ”

Judy pouted and said, "Because they are both Chinese, I don't need to eat wrong, but Corinna and I are both Americans, can I not be jealous?" ”

"Your logic is a bit weird." Lu Hao grimaced and said, "It's very different." ”

Judy snorted coldly, "It's just because I'm your only girlfriend who is different from each other that I don't like you to find another Western woman." ”

"Don't make a mistake, I promise you that I won't be interested in looking for it whether it's the West or the East......"

"It's strange to believe you, there's nothing that the Morgan family can't do if they want to do it, even if you don't want to, you can't escape!" Judy suddenly became very helpless and said, "Sometimes it's not that you don't want to, I have actually been mentally prepared for a long time, no matter how many girlfriends you have, I can only treat myself as a Mo~ Sect disciple, and I am willing to share your love with others, but you have to consider Zhao Ying, Zhao Ying is not as simple as you seem on the surface." ”

Judy's words reminded Lu Hao that this Morgan family is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface, to be honest, they have secretly helped in several acquisitions in the United States, and it seems that the Morgan family is really their own big trouble. (To be continued.) )
