Chapter 750: Closing
"Mr. Underwood? Haha, Jim made me rich, yes, I can see the news here...... Jim, Jim Clark, the founder of SGI, are you not familiar with him? Your wife is also in New York? Yes, we have a celebration party in the evening, no problem, I asked Linda to prepare an invitation for Claire, does she have any friends to come over? Several? It's okay, I've got it all figured out, I'll leave it to me. By the way, Wall Street parties are more fun, and they aren't the kind of polite dinners or buffets in Washington...... Okay, I'll take care of Claire and them for you. ”
"Yo, Delay, haha thank you...... Right? It's too exaggerated, I didn't expect the opening price to be more than $70 at all, and O'Grady didn't expect that he was just about to help me open a position at about $20 haha, those investment institutions and shareholders are crazy. ”
"Mr. Dinkins, thank you, thank you, me? I feel like I'm still out of the situation for the time being, and the Silicon Valley bigwigs brought me a fortune, huh...... Well, don't worry, I'll be up tomorrow, okay, see you at the main station in New York? That's ...... that's it."
"Mr. Geffen, haha, yes, Jim made me rich, yes, I'm also watching the news, thank you, thank you......"
The phone calls came one after another, and at noon, Song Ya was a little overwhelmed, "By the way, there is a Stanley...... Do you know Mr. Chess? Mr. Madoff gave me his business card last night, yes, personally...... Is it convenient? That's great, I'll get to Los Angeles and have a good chat together......"
Netscape was issued on the first day of trading on the NASDAQ stock with a record opening price of 71.5 meters. The cutting-edge technology company, which has no profit record, has surpassed the nearly 70-year-old Delta Air Lines in market capitalization......
There was a small TV overhead where he was calling, and CNBC, the economic channel of NBC, was broadcasting the live footage of the bell ringing before, and as Mark Anderson pressed the button, the music played, the streamers fluttered, and because the others were all white, he was also very conspicuous, standing on the side of the crowd, wearing a hat and smiling and clapping.
"However, the stock continued to decline after the opening of a minute to a high of 73 knives, and it is difficult to judge what point it will fall at the close......
The picture cuts to the stock K-line, and a curve that twists and turns is indeed looking down.
"Hallie? Haha thanks, uh, you said slow down...... No, no, the issue price is not the same as the opening price, how can I explain this on the phone...... Next time, let's talk about it next time. I? It's uncertain whether I can make a fortune, my stocks haven't been lifted yet, not frozen, or yet...... Okay, okay, if you don't know anything about finance, don't care about these anymore, I won't talk to you, I'm very busy now! Hang up! ”
"Really."
As soon as he hung up the phone, he was pressed down on the back of his neck, "APLUS! Why are you hiding here, come here, everybody's here. "Oh, it's Jim Clark, Song Ya looked at each other suspiciously, this guy won't be induced by strong stimulation to have a fetish like David Geffen, right?
"Come on, you can talk on the phone anytime."
Jim Karak didn't know his mental activity, turned around and took him back to the small room, at this time there were a few more white guys in it, "I'll introduce you, APLUS, we all know each other, this is ......"
It turned out that several bosses of KBCP came, including Doerr, one of the founders of Intel, and Joyce, the former president of SUN, both of whom are big names in the technology industry and the investment world.
"Hello, it's an honor......" Song Ya continued to be a man with his tail between his legs.
"Haha, APLUS, you snatched the five percent from us?" Joyce smiled and shook his hand.
Netscape seems to be in charge of the venture capital of Duerr, and the specific work is his executives, and at that time, it seemed that the person and Jim Clark couldn't get along for 1 million, so Jim Clark was very unhappy and turned around and gave himself the 5% at double the price.
"I don't know much about the ...... here"
Song Ya looked around while pretending to be stupid, and the KPCB executive who refused to give an extra million seemed to be nowhere to be seen.
"You still voted for DTS, right?"
Doerr didn't show much regret, this kind of thing should be a lot in the venture capital circle, after all, no one knew that Jim Clark could accomplish such a great feat at that time, they invested in many projects, and the internal management should be very strict, and it must be more than a little bit at the macro level.
"Yes, but DTS doesn't have the good luck of Netscape." Song Ya nodded.
"What else? 3DFX? ”
"Yes, 3DFX, and another VCD player manufacturer in China, have been in the country for several years and have not recouped their investment."
"Palm, he also voted for Palm." Jim Clark helped him add, "Later, it was acquired by the United States Robotics Company, and it also made a profit." ”
"Yes, Jeffrey Hawkins, the founder of Palm, felt that he had no management skills and wanted to focus his personal energy on R&D."
Song Ya knew that it was not difficult for the other party to inquire about anything, so she simply introduced a few of her venture capital, as for traditional industries such as clothing, wine industry, radio stations and television stations, there is no need to say it, KPCB is generally only in the technology industry venture capital.
"The success rate is really high enough."
Durr laughed: "Pig on the tuyere? ”
"Luck, it's all luck." Song Ya is modest, "Personally, I think the main reason is that the economy is good, the stock market is good, and stupid investments can make money." ”
"Hmm."
Joyce nodded, "Okay, let's stop chatting and get down to business......"
Many of the Internet companies invested by KPCB will be listed this year and next, and they are very satisfied with the stock price performance of Netscape, so they came in person.
Song Ya even suspected that the enthusiastic pursuit of the market before the opening was also their quiet efforts with Morgan Stanley and Humber Quest behind the scenes, and whether Netscape could succeed now is not only on behalf of their own interests, but also related to the future strategic layout of KPCB, and even the entire Internet industry.
KPCB's main concern is the slow decline after the first day's high opening, and now many investment institutions are obviously taking profits and leaving the market.
The better Netscape's stock price performs, the better the listing environment for their follow-up ventures," Bacques De said, what about Mark Anderson? Also in an interview? Joyce asked.
"Yes, they're all out there." Jim Clark replied.
"Be more professional with Mark's image packaging, he's our business card, and APLUS, Wall Street seems to like your good luck."
Dourr said.
"He's already famous." Jim Clark patted Song Ya's back and smiled, "Big singer." ”
"Well, I'm going to take this opportunity to release a single, and I'll do my best to help hype up the company." Song Ya said.
"Very good, very good."
The bosses of the KPCB were satisfied, and stayed until the end of the afternoon, waiting for Mark Anderson to ring the closing bell before leaving, and the stock price was fixed at 58 yuan and 2 cents.
"I didn't keep the sixty mark, but it's good."
Bacchus Dele asked Jim Clark, "I just announced our new product in the intra-company server market to the media, no problem, right?" You told me to say more. ”
"No problem, well done."
Jim Clark was satisfied, and said loudly with a slap: "Morgan Stanley has prepared the best party on Wall Street for us!" Today is ours! ”
According to this closing price, his net worth is now undoubtedly more than one billion, Song Ya's shares are worth about 145 million, Mark Anderson is worth more than 100 million, Brandon Egger is 47 million, and Bacsd is between the two.
"What's new?" Song Ya asked.
"Enterprise intranet server software, remember what I told you? Our alliance with SUN will make efforts in the field of Internet and intranet at the same time, and our browser can work with SUN's server and Solaris system to help enterprises improve management efficiency. ”
Jim Clark had no intention of getting more science on him, "Let's go out, you'll have a few more interviews later." ”
"No problem, I'm good at it."
A group of new tech tycoons of all sizes shocked the whole meter was born in one trading day, and everyone walked with the wind when they left the exchange.
"Miss Sloane, Linda."
Song Ya didn't have time to watch, but he could fully imagine how the financial news would broadcast this, and after being interviewed by several media outlets in Times Square with the marquee on the exterior wall of the NASDAQ exchange as the background, he went to the party site that Morgan Stanley had already arranged to meet with other subordinates, "What about Alicia?" She didn't come? ”
"Our future Illinois governor's wife is afraid to appear in public right now."
Sloan smiled a little gloatingly: "It should be because of his husband's indecent photos, after all, there is definitely no shortage of people on Wall Street who are interested in paying attention to that gubernatorial race." ”
"Then it's up to her, Linda, to go and say hello to Jim's secretary and prepare a couple of invitations for Claire and her friends for the evening."
Song Ya confessed to Linda: "There are other friends of mine in New York, Sutton and his sons, Daniel, Newman, ......"
A long list of names, and as he was announcing, "Whoa, whoa...... whoa," Ms. Sloan tilted her head, put her glass in front of her eyes, and laughed awkwardly.
"How?"
Song Ya looked over, and two white men and women who didn't know whether they were Wall Street traders or investment managers were directly entangled in the live broadcast, and the Wall Street elites in suits and leather shoes next to them laughed wildly and approached to visit.
"Look, ...... over there," Ms. Sloan pointed to another circle in the party, and the Wall Street junkies were in full swing, and the party security stood not far away, as if they were used to it, completely indifferent.
They jumped and jumped, shouting the kind of slogans that direct selling companies use to brainwash, and both men and women, without any regard for their own image and others, were like animals.
"This group of guys, who usually look like dogs, turns out to be more open than Lao Hei in private......"
can be regarded as seeing it with his own eyes, Song Ya can only complain like this.
