Chapter 452 Successful listing
The NASDAQ opens at 10 p.m. In the Nanshan villa, Lu Jing answered the calls of Li Qun, Jiang Yaojun, and Song Yuqi in the courtyard. They're going crazy with excitement on the American side.
In this listing, Times Online plans to publicly sell 5 million shares at a listing price of $32 per share, and intends to raise $160 million for development. Within an hour of opening, the stock price of Time Online broke through $40.
The moonlight fell on the grass in the courtyard, and the spring cold was gusting. Lu Jinggang hung up the somewhat hot mobile phone, Ling Xueyue called, and said excitedly: "Lu Jing, 20 times the return on investment, 20 times." Thank you! ”
"You're welcome." After saying that, both of them burst into laughter. Thank you inexplicably, and the answer is inexplicable.
Ling Xueyue smiled: "Forget it, you can't share the joy here at all. You said you're only twenty-one years old, what are you doing so old-fashioned? That's it. ”
Lu Jing smiled and took his mobile phone into the house. The cooperation with Ling Xueyue is still very pleasant. I hope there will be deeper cooperation in the future. Several forces of the academy, except for Lin Zhongxue's circle, are not friendly to the Lu family.
Ye Yan reclined on the sofa, her snow-white slender feet on the coffee table, and the picture of an Intel laptop on the coffee table was showing the situation of the Nasdaq stock market. Judging by the tireless look of excitement on her face, you don't need to look at the computer to know that she is looking at the stock price of Times Online.
"Come and see, it's just rushed to $46 all at once." Ye Yan happily beckoned Lu Jing to come and see. She usually doesn't use a computer, and there is no network cable in the villa, but Lu Jing has renovated it some time ago. The network cable is connected.
Lu Jing sat on the sofa, and her eyes involuntarily fell on her toes. Ten heels are painted with colorful colors on their nails. There's a different kind of temptation. Ye Yan was wearing a white T-shirt and cropped white leggings. She put her legs on the coffee table and sat in a posture that added to the charm of slender thighs and sleek calves. It gives people the idea of holding these legs into their arms, caressing them from their toes to the base of their thighs, and then stroking them back.
Lu Jing felt his heart skip a beat unconsciously. The thought just now flashed through me.
Ye Yan noticed Lu Jing's gaze, and quickly put her feet down and put them in her slippers. I suddenly thought to myself: it's okay to show him. However, my feet were all withdrawn, and I didn't have the courage to take them out and put them on the coffee table.
"Rest early, I still have to use the computer to read the email." Lu Jing used his words to hide his embarrassment.
Ye Yan asked strangely, "You're not excited at all?" ”
Lu Jing leaned on the sofa and said with a smile: "There's nothing to be excited about." I knew it would be like this. The total number of Internet users in China is growing rapidly, and the number at the end of '98 was 8 million. I estimate that it could reach 20 million by the end of this year. The market has great potential. So it's not surprising that Times Online is popular with American investors. ”
Ye Yan pressed her fingers against her slippery face. "Actually, the significance of Times Online's stock price rise is not how many billionaires it creates, but whether Times Online, as the first domestic Internet company to be listed on the NASDAQ, can succeed tonight will directly reflect the recognition of domestic Internet companies by the U.S. capital market."
So, once the times online was a big success. It means that there will be more venture capital to pan for gold in the domestic Internet industry. The domestic Internet industry will also receive more funds for development. And if the stock price of Times Online falls sharply, it means that the confidence of the domestic Internet industry will be severely damaged. ”
Saying that, Lu Jing smiled: "Of course." Judging from the current situation, Times Online will succeed. Li Qun and Jiang Yaojun will become heroes of the domestic Internet. Domestic media will also follow and report to the United States. In other words, the founder of Time Online became famous after tonight. ”
Ye Yan said with a smile: "I'm patronizing and excited, but I can't tell what I feel in my heart." When you say that, I feel that the feeling in my heart is being explained. Oh. I feel much more comfortable. ”
"You are completely American-style thinking, obviously you have gained benefits, and you have to rise to the level of the entire human survival to be comfortable." Lu Jing teased.
Ye Yan glanced at Lu Jing coquettishly. stood up and said angrily: "I praise you, and you still make fun of me." I went back to sleep. Do you still have to read the mail at night? ”
"I haven't finished my homework today!" Lu Jing smiled and took out a cigarette case. He took a cigarette and put it in his mouth and dropped the cigarette case on the coffee table. Moved the computer to the front, tapped the keyboard with both hands, closed the stock market interface, and logged in to Jinghua's mailbox. When I saw that there were 80 unread emails on it, I lamented that I couldn't sleep until two hours.
"Hey, why haven't you left yet, I'm going to smoke to refresh myself." Lu Jing's thoughts interrupted for a moment, and when he turned around, he found that Ye Yan was still standing on the sofa, his eyes fell on his face, and he touched his face inexplicably, "There is something on my face?" ”
"Nope." Ye Yan blushed, but fortunately it was not so obvious under the backlight. Lu Jing's hands are tapping the keyboard quickly, and the silhouette of his side face is also quite attractive, and even a little charming.
picked up the lighter on the coffee table, squatted down to help Lu Jing smoke it, and said softly: "Lu Jing, thank you for helping me." ”
Lu Jing comfortably enjoyed her cigarette service, couldn't stand her gentle tone, waved his hand, and joked: "Thank you so much, do you want to consider making a personal promise?" ”
"Don't even think about it." Ye Yan scolded angrily and stood up, "Go to bed early, good night!" ”
"Good night!" Lu Jing looked at the computer screen, waved his hand, and continued to concentrate on reading the email.
Times Online's success immediately made headlines the next day. The Times Online website itself published the news. The enthusiasm for the Internet that has been accumulated in China for a long time suddenly exploded. College campuses are full of young people talking about the Internet.
Domestic Internet companies, which are still struggling in confusion, also see a new way out: going public to obtain development funds.
Among the mixed news, Lu Jing paid attention to the loan of 50 million yuan from the Municipal Commercial Bank to the Jianye Municipal Transportation Bureau for highway reconstruction, and the Municipal Transportation Bureau's feedback was to put the annual deposit in the Municipal Commercial Bank.
"It's another downside. Yang Xiuwu is really enduring. Lu Jing smiled slightly, put the newspaper on the desk, and took out his mobile phone to call Wu Yihua. Secretary Wu, I will attend the reception in the city tomorrow night. ”
…
April 14. Jianye Municipal Government held a cocktail party of "Jianye Entrepreneur Economic Forum" at Jianye International Conference Hotel.
"Lu Jing." In the middle of the venue, Zhu Ranjie held Lu Jing's hand hard. It's all in words! The great success of Times Online has swept away the voices of Jianye City against the establishment of an information industry zone. Instead, there is a call for upgrading the information industry zone to a deputy department-level establishment.
"I didn't expect that." Lu Jing said with a smile. He didn't want to wait for the Internet to collapse and make Zhu Ranjie resent him. It doesn't take much time, and it will take about a year for the wave of new Internet technology to subside.
"You." Zhu Ranjie smiled and nodded Lu Jing. After chatting for nearly ten minutes, Zhu Ranjie left. In such a public occasion, he needs to show his intimate relationship with Lu Jing.
Lu Jing looked around at the reception scene. This reception is in the nature of a buffet reception. Debussy's "Moonlight" soothingly sprinkled to every corner of the party. Brightly dressed men and women chatted with each other.
His eyes quickly found the target. In the corner of the cocktail party, Xu Yunce and Luo Yinghao were chatting with their respective female companions.
Lu Jing walked over with a wine glass.
"Mr. Lu." On the way, Tang Xuanyuan intercepted Lu Jing. Lu Jing had to stop and chat with him for a while. At the beginning, although Tang Xuanyuan opened the distance between him and Zhu Ranjie by publishing an article for Jinghua, he did objectively help Jinghua.
"Long time no see. Mr. Lu now has personal assets of more than 200 million US dollars, right? It's really enviable. Tang Xuanyuan said with a smile.
Lu Jingwei Zheng, reflecting that Tang Xuanyuan was talking about Times Online shares. He personally holds 4 million shares in Times Online, which closed at $58.32 yesterday. That's almost $230 million.
He knew that Tang Xuanyuan had a hard time recently, and said with a smile: "Secretary General Tang is very concerned about the Internet." Secretary Zhu is also very concerned about this part. I'll talk to him another day. ”
Tang Xuanyuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I'm not interested in developing in the Information Industry Zone. "Some things are not about disagreement, but because I'm afraid of being dragged into the water.
Lu Jing was stunned, he didn't expect Tang Xuanyuan to refuse to help him talk to Secretary Zhu. With Secretary Zhu's current reliance on the city commercial bank, he opened his mouth to say that it was not impossible for Secretary Zhu to re-admit Tang Xuanyuan.
Tang Xuanyuan sighed, "Mr. Lu, let's talk another day." ”
"Okay." Lu Jing nodded thoughtfully.
"Mr. Lu, didn't bring a female companion today? I heard that Mr. Lu has a lot of confidants. Didn't bring one? Deputy Mayor Luo Baojian walked over with a smile and said. Looking at Tang Xuanyuan's back as he left, he snorted disdainfully.
"Why is Mayor Luo still here to have fun with the people?" Lu Jing replied with a slight sneer. The leader of this kind of drinking party usually only shows his face and shows his attention and then leaves.
"I'm in charge of hosting today's reception, so of course I'm going to stay here." Luo Baojian didn't seem to care, "How many young talents should I introduce to Mr. Lu?" lest Mr. Lu be lonely at the cocktail party and think that we have no talents. ”
"Oh?" Lu Jing pretended to hesitate. smiled in his heart: Made, I can't imagine that someone will send a pillow when I fall asleep. I'm thinking about how to tell Xu Yunce through the words.
Luo Baojian smiled slightly. motioned for Lu Jing to follow him, "This is the deputy general manager of Xu Yun Pharmaceutical, Mr. Xu Yunce." Graduated from the European Business School in France. Xuyun Group is a well-known private enterprise in eastern Zhejiang.
This is Luo Yinghao, assistant to the chairman of Samsung Electronics (China) Branch. I think you know each other. ”
Luo Baojian introduced with bad intentions. Obviously, he also knew about the grievances between Lu Jing and Xu Yunce. also knows the grievances between Lu Jing and Samsung Electronics.
Luo Yinghao raised his eyebrows and said proudly in a strange Chinese tone: "Mr. Lu." You are so arrogant that you don't even see our Yuan President when he goes to Jiangzhou. I would like to ask if you know how to respect Samsung? ”
"I'm sorry, I've always had little respect for thieves." A cold smile appeared at the corner of Lu Jing's mouth.
"Nonsense. Do we Samsung Electronics need to steal your technology? Luo Yinghao was dismissive, "Don't think I don't know the tricks you played in Jiangzhou." ”
"You can talk to An Zhixing and others who are serving a prison sentence in Jiangzhou."
Xu Yunce interjected lightly, "Lu Jing, it's not good to be too domineering." If you make too many enemies, you will die without a place to bury. ”
Lu Jing smiled: "Oh? I don't remember that Xu Yun Group had a mobile phone business? Like, you're not qualified enough to be my enemy, are you? ”
"Who wouldn't be so fast-tongued? Xu Yun Group is the majority shareholder of Mingzhou Commercial Bank. Xu Yunce stared at Lu Jing's eyes unhappily, "How can a small bank like Jianye City Commercial Bank be qualified to compare with Mingzhou Commercial Bank?" ”
"Really? So why did your Xu family invest in Jianye City Commercial Bank? Lu Jing smiled, "I plan to issue an additional 300 million shares of stock market commercial banks, since Mr. Xu looks down on market commercial banks, don't buy shares of market commercial banks at that time." Mayor Luo can testify to me."
Luo Baojian and Xu Yunce both stared at each other. That's big news. The issuance of an additional 300 million shares means that Jinghua will give up its controlling stake in the city commercial bank, which means that the city commercial bank will have a large amount of cash in its accounts.
"I'll order another drink." Lu Jing shook his empty wine glass, smiled at the two women who were obviously Korean, and turned to leave. (To be continued......)
