Chapter 156 [Target, NASDAQ!] [For the "Flying Talker" Ten Thousand Rewards Plus Update]]
Several underwriters of Goldman Sachs Group have already made a lot of money.
Most of the shares allotted this time are large North American private investment management companies or investment banking institutions such as Fidelity, BlackRock, Blackstone, Wellington, and Putnam.
As for the allocation of domestic institutions, it has to be said that if Bluestar Technology Group is not a domestic company and Luo Sheng does not come forward, domestic institutions may also be fully accompanied.
Wall Street is also very shrewd, to be precise, Goldman Sachs Capital, as one of the sponsors and underwriters of the listing of Bluestar Technology, gave a total of $475 million to many domestic institutions.
Among them, Huajin Securities was allocated 215 million US dollars, ranking first among domestic institutions.
And Huajin Securities itself is the major shareholder of Bluestar Technology Group, currently holding 3.32% of the shares, China Asset Management received a quota of 30 million US dollars, China Life Insurance received a quota of 135 million US dollars, and the remaining 95 million US dollars was divided by more than 50 non-insurance institutions, with an average of 1.8 million US dollars per institution.
……
Around 19:22 p.m.
This gluttonous feast of the primary market "carve-up conference" has finally come to an end.
At this moment, Luo Sheng and his team, as well as Goldman Sachs, SoftBank, Morgan Stanley and other brokerage investment bank VCs gathered together and sat together at an extra-long dining table.
During the dinner, there were 34 people at this table.
"Again, we didn't come to New York to raise money, but to find partners who recognized our cause." Luo Sheng, who was sitting at the C seat of the dining table, smiled and communicated with the foreigners at the table with fluent English.
It is worth mentioning that during the day, when everyone grabs stocks, they are blushing and thick-necked, and in order to strive for more allotted shares, they even do not hesitate to get angry, and the scene of scolding and scolding has happened several times.
But after the benefits have been distributed and the tone has been completely set, the two sides who were like enemies at the last moment have already drunk and talked happily at this moment.
This is the business field, this is Wall Street, there are no eternal friends, only interests that are eternal and constant.
"As it should be."
Henry Paulson, the head of Goldman Sachs, raised his glass and smiled gently: "But tonight's dinner, everyone here is a winner, there is no loser, the only difference is a big win or a small win, so why not have a toast?" ”
Speaking of which, Henry Paulson, who is at the helm of Goldman Sachs, is about to leave his post, and he will enter the White House and become the head of the Treasury Department of the United States.
"Totally agree!"
"!"
Everyone raised their glasses, talked and laughed, and almost all the major Wall Street predators praised Luo Sheng, and most of the topics revolved around him chatting.
At this moment, the countdown to the listing time has entered within 20 hours.
Starting at 10 a.m. and ending at around 19:00 p.m. today, Luo Sheng and his management team, as well as underwriters such as Goldman Sachs, spent a full nine hours sifting through 2,800 subscription accounts.
Basically, choose large long-term funds, or those institutions or managed funds that have been dealing with Bluestar Technology for a long time.
Most of the retail investors' funds have been basically eliminated, which Luo Sheng can only suggest that he should not interfere too much in the selection of underwriters, but his words still have weight, so he has won a quota of nearly 500 million US dollars for some domestic institutions.
Compared with other institutional investors, insurance companies have received more allocations in China.
On the whole, the placement of new shares of Bluestar Technology Group was mainly given to the North American super-large public fund, and many domestic funds were not qualified to win the lot.
This can't be blamed on Luo Sheng, he has already given a chance, and it is a big opportunity.
In the early days of the company, when he was seeking angel round financing, he gave priority to finding domestic investors, but unfortunately, none of them took a fancy to it, but fortunately, Teng Xun entered the market in time during the angel round financing stage, which was regarded as saving a little face for domestic capital.
Luo Sheng is not obliged to find ways to seek benefits for domestic investment institutions, why, the point is that even if he does, it will not bring much benefit to Bluestar Technology Group, and he chooses to share the company's residual value with Wall Street, which is strongly supported by the global market.
You must know that more than 75% of Bluestar Technology's revenue now comes from overseas, and it is important to tie Wall Street to the chariot of Bluestar Technology Group, which will provide strong support for the group company in global business.
However, domestic investors still obtained some allotment qualifications, mainly some related customers were allocated, and the number of shares allotted to the related asset management business offered by certain public fund subsidiaries and their third-party wealth management institutions was zero.
If you want to hold the shares of Bluestar Technology Group, then wait for the market to open tomorrow and go to the secondary market to trade, but relatively speaking, it is definitely not cost-effective.
……
The dinner was over, and Luo Sheng and his team members also went to the hotel that had been arranged to rest, and the countdown to the last 11 hours had entered the listing time.
This night was destined to be a sleepless night for the team members of Bluestar Technology, and everyone was extremely excited.
The next minute and second passed extremely slowly, everyone was nervous, but they were looking forward to it, and the core team members who followed Luo Sheng to New York, each of whom was a shareholder of Bluestar Technology Group, had received different degrees of allotments.
For them this night, the most they thought about was probably calculating their worth.
The initial team members of Bluestar Technology, Su Yali, Bai Lang, Feng Yi, Lu Siming and others, never thought that they would one day become rich overnight.
……
The time finally came on March 10, 2006.
Today, almost the world's eyes are focused on Wall Street and on the IPO of Bluestar Technology.
It is no exaggeration to say that the entire Wall Street is boiling, and the eyes of the industry are gathered.
At the same time, affected by the time difference, China has entered the evening, but the report on the IPO of Bluestar Technology Group has not been much less.
Yangshi Financial News Channel has opened a special live broadcast room to report the whole process, which is the first private enterprise to form such a huge sensation in the IPO in the United States.
Bluestar Technology Group also chose to take the next day off on today's special day, and more than 10,000 employees at home and abroad witnessed the largest public offering in history.
Employees who can't come to the site are either in the company or at home to watch the live broadcast.
Its own online streaming video website, the domestic version of Bluestar Video and the international version of BluestarVideo have opened special live reports for employees to watch live webcasts.
Many of the employees watched the IPO process with a great sense of ritual at this moment, and it is clear that most of the company's employees are extremely proud to have participated in it and contributed to the company.
Even ordinary grass-roots employees are not the same, although they only receive salaries, can not meet the qualifications of allotment, but the company absolutely treats them well, as long as they contribute a certain value, they will get the corresponding returns, and will never let any employee pay in vain and do not get the return that matches this.
And in this IPO, they also have a certain additional bonus package, which can be regarded as a "red envelope".
……
March 10, around 6:00 a.m.
Luo Sheng and his team members arrived on Manhattan Island again, because the Bluestar Technology Group was officially listed today, the whole New York has already woken up, and the excitement seems to have spread throughout Manhattan.
At this moment, Luo Sheng and his motorcade arrived at Times Square, where the electronic giant screens outside the major buildings were rolling around the news about the IPO of Bluestar Technology Group, and of course, the group photo of the entrepreneurial group was indispensable.
Or introduce Luo Sheng's personal resume, or introduce the growth history of Bluestar Technology, or introduce the relevant details of the IPO, etc.
Absolute focus.
Today, no one can steal the limelight from Bluestar Technology.
The NASDAQ is here, and it's not far from the New York Stock Exchange, both on Manhattan Island.
The NASDAQ is near the Times Square station on Metro Line 3, and Wall Street is at the Wall Street Station on Metro Line 3, with only 6 stops in between, which can be reached in less than 20 minutes.
But there is still a difference, the NASDAQ is in Times Square, and the specific location is at 165 Broadway in New York.
The New York Stock Exchange is on Wall Street, and the specific location is 11 Wall Street.
Luo Sheng's special car was an extended version of a luxury car, not only he was sitting in it, but Qin Weimu, Erin, and Xu Yong were also there.
"The bell is about to ring and we are all nervous, but we want to scream with excitement." Xu Yong said excitedly, and Bai Lang and several of the men also nodded in agreement.
Hearing this, Luo Sheng glanced at them and said with a smile: "I think many people are waiting for this day, this is just the beginning, and it will be a gluttonous feast that will greet us." ”
Xu Yong and the others nodded heavily.
At this time, Luo Sheng looked at them and added seriously: "Not surprisingly, after the group company is listed, all of you are billionaires worth more than 100 million, and as a reward, you can get the opportunity to directly cash out no more than 25% today, theoretically your shares can be cashed out completely, because Bluestar Technology is 100% controlled by a limited partnership, and you are all LPs." ”
Speaking of this, Luo Sheng paused and continued: "But my suggestion is that if it's just for living expenses, just set up a few millions, because the company's stock price will be more valuable in the near future, and it may increase tenfold, twenty times or even more, so selling too many shares now to cash out is a blood loss, if you want to invest, haha, holding shares of Bluestar Technology is the best quality investment." ”
Hearing Luo Sheng's words, everyone nodded again and again, now Xu Yong and Feng Yi have blindly admired Boss Luo, and they have reached the point of blind confidence in him.
To a certain extent, all this was given to them by Luo Sheng, and it was Luo Sheng who made them the highlight moment they have today.
