On September 5th, just a few days after the filming of "Happy Ghost", Lei Weidong had to hand over the crew to Wang Fatzi and fly to the United States!

The cabbage doll is about to go on the market, and as the founder Lei Weidong was invited as a special guest!

In the future, there are many things to deal with Merrill Lynch's major investment banks, and Lei Weidong gladly accepted the invitation of several major investment banks.

After the operation of several major investment banks, the valuation of the cabbage doll was determined to be $4.5 billion, the proportion of new shares issued was 20%, and it planned to raise $900 million in funds.

900 million US dollars is nothing for the investment of several major investment banks, but everyone understands that the listing of cabbage dolls is not for the investment of hundreds of millions of dollars, but for the sake of being able to better cut leeks on the stock market after listing!

In the past period, the sales performance of the new cabbage doll company has been too scary, with profits reaching hundreds of millions of dollars, and it is known as the first money-making company in the United States.

Therefore, almost all the media are very optimistic about the listing operation of the cauliflower doll, so much so that the IPO of the cauliflower doll has become a news event at the level of the whole society.

A lot of people line up to get a bit of a benefit.

Lei Weidong arrived in New York in the afternoon, and as soon as he got off the plane, he saw Zihanyan who had come to pick up the plane in person, and the group went to the mansion on Fifth Avenue to rest first, and then went directly to the NASDAQ exchange tomorrow to participate in the ceremony.

Early the next morning, Lei Weidong woke up in his mansion, and the time was already seven o'clock.

When he came to the restaurant downstairs, the housekeeper had already prepared breakfast, and saw Lei Weidong sitting down at the dining table, and the secretary Yang Mi handed over a stack of sorted newspapers.

"I won't watch it today," Lei Weidong shook his head and said, "We're going to get to 42nd Street before half past eight." ”

Unlike traditional stock exchanges such as the New York Stock Exchange and the London Stock Exchange, NASDAQ is actually the abbreviation of the National Association of Securities Dealers Automatic Quotation System, which is the world's first electronic stock securities trading platform, and users basically trade stocks by phone and computer.

Therefore, the NASDAQ exchange in the 42nd Street building is more like a symbol, and the exchange does not have the complete hardware and software securities trading facilities of the New York Stock Exchange, and the lobby is surrounded by a number of sets of photographic equipment and live broadcast facilities that broadcast the news of the exchange to the world in real time, and it looks more like a television studio.

Unlike the New York Stock Exchange, which is a non-profit social public service organization, although it has long been able to compete with the New York Stock Exchange in terms of the size and trading volume of listed companies, in fact, the NASDAQ is a private for-profit company owned by Starkey Group.

Although it was just past eight o'clock, the NASDAQ exchange was already bustling inside and out, and many guests who came to stand for the listing of cauliflower dolls and even Lei Weidong appeared in the exchange hall early.

Lei Weidong was a little surprised to find two figures in the crowd, and said with some surprise: "Why are you two here?" ”

"Why can't you come!" Jobs smiled at Lei Weidong and said:

"The Cauliflower Doll Company is tied with our Apple name! She's going to go public, of course we have to come over and have a look, and make a fortune by the way! ”

"Make a fortune!" Lei Weidong looked at Woz next to Jobs: "How much did you buy?" ”

"Not much! That's five million dollars for one person! Wads said, "It's not as good as the billions of dollars you've made on this!." ”

"The money I made is in the past!" Lei Weidong said with a smile: "Now that you have invested so much, beware of being trapped!" ”

"No, it won't! I have faith in the cauliflower doll! Jobs laughed.

As time went on, the NASDAQ exchange hall was already overcrowded and the atmosphere became more and more hot.

Executives and employees of investment banks such as Merrill Lynch and Citigroup, guests attending the ceremony, employees of the Cabbage Doll Company, media reporters from all over the world, and exchange staff crowded the entire hall like a box of canned sardines.

Everyone had to beg the people around them to make way in a hoarse voice before they could barely move their pace through the crowded hall.

Towards nine o'clock, security had to step in to maintain order due to the chaos in the hall.

At 9:15, Anthony, the new boss of Cabbage Doll, stepped forward to give a listing speech!

At the end of the speech, everyone set their sights on the clock and waited for the time to come.

Under the attention of countless people!

While!!

The bell is ringing!

The hall immediately resounded with the sound of a prepared salute, the crowd spontaneously applauded and cheered, and the several media outlets that were scrolling on the big screens around them all focused their live cameras on the people on the stage.

The bell-ringing ceremony seemed to have started quickly and ended very quickly, but no one in the hall of the exchange left afterwards.

Lei Weidong is the same! Because of the identity! Didn't go on stage, just stood at the back of the crowd with Jobs and others!

"What's next! Can stocks be bought and sold? Yang Mi asked, looking at the bustling crowd in the hall.

"We need to wait!" Zi Hanyan shook her head and explained:

"I am inquiring about a price, this process will take about an hour or two, and it is estimated that the official transaction will be completed after eleven o'clock."

Yang Mi was suspicious and asked, "What is an inquiry?" ”

Zi Hanyan said patiently: "It is the exchange that determines the official opening price of the stock according to the intended transaction price given by sellers and buyers around the world. ”

"That doesn't mean that! If I want to buy stocks for cabbage dolls now, I can also participate! Yang Mi asked.

"It's not that easy!" Zi Hanyan said with a smile on his face: "The current quotations are all large customers and institutions, and there is a subscription threshold, and retail investors who want to buy and sell need to be after the transaction." ”

"How high the threshold! I'll see if I have enough money! Yang Mi said.

"I don't know how high the specific threshold is, but it is estimated that it will be at least 100,000 shares!" Zi Hanyan said,

"So much money!" Yang Mi was stunned for a moment.

The issue price of the cauliflower doll is $12, and the value of 100,000 shares is $1.2 million.

This money does not seem like much to a large investment fund or to a wealthy investor like Mr. Jobs.

But for millions of investors and solo investors around the world, $1.2 million is unaffordable for most people.

However, there is a huge base of retail investors and small and medium-sized institutions!

The demand for a new issue in the public investor community is often much higher than the number of shares issued in its IPO, and once the supply exceeds demand, the stock price will inevitably increase significantly.

Therefore, the opening price of many new shares on the day of listing will be much higher than the issue price.

This is more common in the mainland stock market!

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people pursuing new products!

"It's up! It's up! "After a while of waiting!

The trading screen in the lobby shows the price of the cauliflower doll's stock issue!

And then it just took a few minutes for the change to happen!

The stock price suddenly changed from 12 yuan to 13.2 yuan!

Looking at the crowd of two sets of red numbers on the display screen, after a moment of silence, the hall suddenly erupted in a burst of applause and cheers.

"That's up! It's not even 11 o'clock! Yang Mi wondered.

"This is just the first round of inquiries, and it will continue." Zi Hanyan explained.

"Then, in the next inquiry, the stock price should still go up, right?" Yang Mi looked at the angry crowd and asked in a low voice.

"It should be, the first round of inquiries is just the beginning." Zi Hanyan calculated in her heart how much money she could make with the stocks in her hand!

Soon! The results of the second round of inquiries appeared on the monitors in the exchange floor.

Fourteen.5 yuan, up again!

In the applause and cheers that rang out again in the hall,

Everyone understands that on the basis of the sharp rise in the first round of inquiry, the result of the second round of inquiry also means that the stock price trend will only be high and not low in the next few rounds of inquiry.

The next development was not only expected by everyone, but it was obviously beyond everyone's expectations.

In the excitement and fiery atmosphere around him, time passed slowly and quickly.

$15, $16, $17,

New prices keep popping out!

When the cauliflower doll was opened, the price had reached 19.8 yuan and instantly rushed to a high of $21.5.

$21.5, relative to the issue price, skyrocketed by 79.5%%.

As a result, the market value of the cauliflower doll has skyrocketed, surpassing the terrifying $8 billion.

And everyone knows that this is just the beginning!

In the coming period, the stock will climb sharply!

"Harry! I think it's time to discuss Apple's IPO! Watching the cauliflower doll's stock soar, Jobs also blushed.
