993【EITC Listing】
As soon as the 1996 Hong Kong Film Awards came out, Xia Zuhui took the crew of "The Legend of the New White Lady" to Suzhou and Hangzhou, and most of the scenes of this drama had to be filmed in the mainland. Looking at a book? ???· 1?KANSHU·COM
Due to the butterfly effect brought by Kang Jianfei, many film and television works in the original time and space did not appear. For example, Ang Lee's "Father Trilogy", such as Pan Yingzi's "A Generation of Empresses", "A Generation of Princesses", Zhao Yazhi's "The New White Lady", "Joking about Qianlong" and so on.
In another time and space, "The Legend of the New White Lady" was originally a script specially tailored for Zhao Yazhi by the TV station after "Joking about Qianlong" became popular. Now that she has not gone to Taiwan to develop at all, this work will naturally disappear.
What makes Kang Jianfei feel relieved is that Ang Lee has finally become powerful this year after being an assistant director and director (all of them are commercial films) for many years. After the Spring Festival, he took out a handwritten script, called "Horse Racing", and the male protagonist was a trainee jockey who had just obtained a certificate.
On the surface, the film is about Hong Kong horse racing, with some kung fu and comedy elements mixed in, but at its core, it is about the relationship between people, people and animals, and people and the city.
Art comes from life, and Ang Lee was able to shoot the "Father Trilogy" because he had been a family cook for a long time, and was born in Taiwan and lived in the United States. His work therefore tends to show the collision and fusion of Eastern and Western cultures, and has a very deep and keen observation of the family.
Now it is different, Ang Lee has been in Hong Kong for ten years, his focus has completely changed, there is an alienated colonial mode of thinking, and Kang Jianfei is very much looking forward to his work.
In the United States, the listing of Oriental Network Technology Company is also in the final stage.
On January 22, the company submitted an IPO prospectus to the Securities and Exchange Commission, proposing to raise $200 million, and at the same time disclosed the shareholder structure and part of the shareholding. Read the book ???· 1?K?A?NSHU·COM
On February 18, the list of partners and their appointments was disclosed for the first time, and the list of eight board members of the future listed company was also announced, and the total income for the 1995 fiscal year was also updated.
On March 11, with the injection of capital from several major consortia and companies, the valuation of EITC increased again, the stock price rose from $12 to $18 per share, and the board of directors increased to 11.
On April 16, the company was listed on the NASDAQ exchange in the United States under the stock trading symbol "EITC".
On April 18, the company announced its revenue for the first quarter of 1996.
On April 27, the initial announcement of the IPO pricing range was $2,023, which estimated the company's market valuation to be 500.575 billion.
On May 10, Dongfang Network Technology Co., Ltd. was listed on NASDAQ. After 35 minutes of inquiry, EITC opened at $27 and closed at $36, a 31% jump on the first day.
By the end of the first week of trading on May 14, the stock price of Dongfang Network Technology had risen to $54, and the company's market value had skyrocketed to $1.35 billion.
The world was shocked because it was the first online technology stock in history. Its astonishing stock rise has not only stimulated countless people to devote themselves to Internet entrepreneurship, but also made local tyrants keen to invest in Internet companies.
The dot-com bubble was created and grew bigger every year, until a few years later, ...... burst with a bang.
Thanks to the multi-faceted advantages of browsers, portals and search engines, Dongfang Network Technology has been far more successful than Yahoo in history, attracting more investors at least during the private placement phase.
So far, the top 10 shareholders of Oriental Network Technology are as follows: Dream Fund (21%, a venture capital institution temporarily founded by Kang Jianfei), Oriental Media (6.2%), Vanguard Group (5.8%), Paramount (4.9%), Fidelity Group (4.3%), State Street Group (4.1%), Blackstone Group (3.5%), Thomas Jr. (2.8%), Northern Trust (2.6%), GCM (2.5%).
As for the 10% stake that Kang Jianfei gave to Little Fat Jim, after two rounds of private placement, it has been diluted to only 0.6%. Even so, he has a net worth of more than $8 million, and with the current stock rally, it is only a matter of days to become a multimillionaire.
EITC has become another technology entrepreneurship myth after Microsoft and Apple, and the company's chief executive Jiang Qinghua was featured on the cover of the third issue of Time magazine in May, and the behind-the-scenes boss Kang Jianfei was also exposed.
According to the statistics of Fortune magazine in the United States, EITC was listed on the NASDAQ for a week, and Kang Jianfei's net worth skyrocketed by $350 million.
That's $350 million in 1996!
The most terrifying thing is the rise in the stock price of Oriental Network Technology Company, which fully proves what an Internet bubble is. By the end of June, the issue price had soared from $23 to an incredible $81, and its market value had grown to $2 billion, quadrupling in just one and a half months.
Doesn't that seem outrageous?
There are even more outrageous ones. Yahoo stock was issued at a lower price, but it soared to $475 in four years, an increase of nearly 20 times.
After interviewing Jiang Qinghua, "Time" magazine seemed to feel that it was still unsatisfied, and flew to Hong Kong to interview Kang Jianfei. And on the cover of that issue, Kang Jianfei's photo and Bill Gates were juxtaposed, and they were given the title of very middle two science and technology coquettish.
As for Jobs, hehe, Apple just happened to be in trouble this year, and he resigned ten years ago. Jobs is now doing animation, Pixar was invested in by him, and last year's "Toy Story" box office was very good.
Nowadays, when it comes to technology entrepreneurship, people think of Bill Gates and Kang Jianfei. In the tide of the Internet, Kang Jianfei has always been a benchmark figure.
Hong Kong's stock market is keeping up with the rhythm of the United States, and the amazing performance of EITC on the NASDAQ is being watched by Hong Kong's billionaires, investors and traders. Especially after Kang Jianfei was exposed as the behind-the-scenes boss, public opinion in Hong Kong also turned upside down.
Soon, the headquarters of Oriental Technology Company announced that Hong Kong's Oriental Charm Network was merged into EITC, a traditional Chinese station mainly serving Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau. At the same time, EITC set up a branch in Zhongguancun, Beijing, and opened a simplified website of Oriental Charm Network.
After a series of positive news, EITC shares broke through the $90 mark.
Jin Yong had already given up a large number of shares of Ming Pao Group at the beginning of the year, completely resigned from his actual position, and only hung up the fictitious post of president. Now that Oriental Media has become the largest shareholder of Ming Pao Group, it may be able to completely acquire Ming Pao Group in two or three years.
After the news of EITC reached Hong Kong, Jin Yong personally wrote a praise article: "...... The first generation of wealthy people in Hong Kong did freight, and the four major ship kings were a sign of success at that time. Hong Kong's second-generation wealthy people do real estate, and now more than half of Hong Kong's top ten families started with real estate. It seems that Hong Kong's development has nothing to do with technology...... Kang Jianfei is an exception, he was born in the cultural and entertainment industry, but now on the other side of the ocean, he has become a wealth superstar through the Internet. This may be a kind of inspiration for young people in Hong Kong to look beyond the small island of Hong Kong, and to look at the world and get in touch with the latest and most cutting-edge technology, so as to gain more opportunities......
