After a few hours of rest in a suite at the Marriott Hotel, after waking up, Suzhou and Hangzhou continued to rotate until late the next night.

All sorts of things.

Interviews, meals, and friends...... Of course, Su Hang didn't have any friends here, mainly some people Tao Nuanyu knew, and it was inevitable that he would encounter some small discrimination during the period, but there was no big conflict.

Moreover, Su Hang also found that he was really a celebrity in the United States, at least, the people who were taken by Tao Nuanyu to meet could talk a few words about "Gale", as well as "tuyere" and the like.

At the beginning, as the 'magic boy' of Suzhou and Hangzhou, he successfully obtained 500,000 shares from Yahoo, and it turned out that Yahoo did not lose anything at all.

Tuesday's interview with Time magazine about Suzhou and Hangzhou, as well as the first chapter of Gale, happened to promote the recent market value of Scooper, which has attracted a lot of attention in the industry, to officially exceed $1 billion, and then together with the concept of "tuyere", it has triggered extensive discussions in the Western media in the past few days.

Among them, the deeds of the 'wonder boy' from the East are even more related to Yahoo.

Therefore, it is also conceivable that the capital market is paying attention to this Yahoo IPO.

In the midst of the busyness, the time finally came to Friday, April 12, on the American side.

Su Quanquan, who has not yet adjusted the jet lag, woke up first today, sat on the sofa outside and read a book recommended by his son "The Gate of Eden", which is a book about the social culture of the United States in the fifties and sixties.

Since helping his son speculate in futures, Su Quanquan has begun to pick up books again, read all kinds of books, and gradually developed a habit.

Before coming to the United States this time, it is indeed like what my son said, for this country of flowers that countless people yearn for, even if his personal identity is very different from the past, Su Quanquan still inevitably looks up, and he has read this book in the past few days, although it is not a critical work, but he also sees a country with good and bad from it.

It's still what my son said, like people, 'flesh and blood', not 'immortals'.

There was a knock on the door, Su Quanquan looked at his watch, it was already seven twenty, and when he went to open the door, it was Tao Nuanyu and her foreign friend who was always inseparable, and her son mentioned it, it was a 'girlfriend'...... Well, I already know what it means, but Su Quanquan also politely does not make any judgments.

is already very familiar, Tao Nuanyu is not very polite, he enters the door like his own home, and looks left and right: "Uncle, Su Hang hasn't gotten up yet?" ”

"Maybe it's also due to jet lag."

Su Quanquan said a word, not mentioning that this girl dragged her own boy to a drinking party last night and came back very late, seeing Tao Nuanyu walking directly to her son's room and knocking on the door, she didn't stop it.

I didn't drink last night, after all, in this excessively strict drinking restriction, Su Hang is not yet old. However, after coming back late at night, he was also affected by jet lag and couldn't sleep, so he turned to a physics exercise, according to normal experience, it should be a very hypnotic thing, Su Hang has been until more than three o'clock in the morning.

It's inevitable to wake up late.

I got dressed and got up at the knock at the door, and we had breakfast together, and it was past eight o'clock.

Returning to the suite where the father and son lived, changing into a set of formal clothes prepared in advance, the group also set off to the NASDAQ headquarters on 42nd Street in Midtown Manhattan, which was already very lively, and there were many reporters at the door.

As soon as Su Hang got out of the car, he was recognized by a reporter, who came over to try to interview, and led some other media to surround him.

Su Hang didn't mean to say much, and hurriedly entered the NASDAQ headquarters with his father and Tao Nuanyu.

The interior of the building is equally lively.

Su Hang learned from Tao Nuanyu that the Yahoo team didn't sleep all night last night, and when he greeted him, he really found that some people had dark circles under their eyes, but there was obvious excitement in their exhaustion.

After all, it was just a guest, and after greeting them, everyone went to a lounge first.

U.S. stocks are traded from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., with no end in between, and later the symbolic Yahoo 'bell ringing ceremony' begins at 9 o'clock, with Suzhou and Hangzhou just playing a purely soy sauce-style platform role.

Everyone sat down on the sofa in the lounge overlooking the hall on the second floor, Tao Nuanyu glanced at the bustle downstairs, and turned to the young man on the side: "Just at the door, such a good opportunity, your reaction is too cold, right?" ”

Su Hang picked up a copy of the Wall Street Journal in the lounge for guests to browse, and was practicing his English reading skills, but he didn't raise his head when he heard the words: "What chance?" ”

"Show a chance," Tao Nuanyu shook her head slightly: "Su Hang, I have found out in the past few days, you are obviously only seventeen years old, but occasionally you look like a seventy-year-old man, so cold to many things." ”

"Sister Nuan Yu, today's protagonist is not us after all, and it's not good to dominate the crowd."

Tao Nuanyu didn't accept this explanation: "You, accept an interview, help Yahoo increase a little exposure, and also add some help to our Mercury Capital to raise funds later, isn't that good?" ”

Su Hang thought for a while, and finally looked up, looked at the other guests who had just come in the lounge and just greeted them slightly, before turning to Tao Nuanyu, leaning closer to her ear and saying, "Sister Nuanyu, don't forget what I said when I first arrived the day before yesterday, there is a high probability...... We're going to be Yahoo competitors very quickly, and I don't have a reason to do much about helping competitors. ”

The young man was too close, his breath was hot, Tao Nuanyu felt a little strange, but he didn't let go, after listening to him, he also got closer, and whispered: "This, anyway, you must talk to me carefully." ”

"Wait until today is over," Su Hang said, "I can't leave you." ”

"The benefits are not less."

"Sister Nuan Yu, I found you quite vulgar."

Tao Nuanyu: "......"

Seeing that the boy turned to the newspaper in front of him again, he almost couldn't help but lean in again and bite him on the ear.

I......

Vulgar?!

All kinds of things in the past few months, aren't they all you, stinky boy?

Who is vulgar?

So I decided not to talk to any more guys until nine o'clock.

It's nine o'clock in the blink of an eye.

Yahoo team and investor representatives, as well as Nasdaq executives and some guests, came to the lobby reception.

Tao Nuanyu, who could only stand under the stage, looked at a young man on the stage who was not close to the middle but was not on the edge, and couldn't help but feel a little envious.

And then......

All right.

I'm vulgar.

A voice came from his ear: "You are also Chinese?" ”

Turned.

It was an Asian girl with a goose egg face who spoke, and the companion next to her, who looked very good at first glance, Tao Nuanyu nodded: "Yes, you ......"

"My name is Xiao Jiujiu," the girl stretched out her hand, "what about you?" ”

Little Ninety-Nine......

The second generation of bananas, can't even take a Chinese name?

However, the accent is quite upright, and it sounds a little similar to Chai Xi, who has not been able to come over in the past few days, and his ancestral home should be from Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Thinking so, Tao Nuanyu also introduced herself, not forgetting Veronica on the side.

Xiao Jiujiu also introduced his colleague Zhuang Weilan, who came with him.

A few girls were about to continue, and when Su Quanquan, who had just left, came back, Xiao Jiujiu suddenly looked surprised: "Uncle, do you remember me?" ”

The flight attendant who talked a lot to her son on the plane, of course Su Quanquan remembers.

Then, after some greetings, Xiao Jiujiu knew that Tao Nuanyu came with Su Hang, and was suddenly surprised: "I thought you were a book fan of Su Hang or something, but I knew you." ”

Fan?

That "Countless Passing Years", Tao Nuanyu has to admit that it is very good, but she is not obsessed with anyone.

As for Gale, it's the same.

However, he reacted and looked at the beautiful and tall girl in front of him: "You are here specifically for Suzhou and Hangzhou?" ”

Xiao Jiujiu nodded: "Yes, we said okay." ”

Say...... Target?!

Hum!

Let me catch it, and don't forget to mess with flowers and grass when I run to the United States.

Vulgar!

As the sister of her sister's boyfriend's girlfriend, that is, the 'eldest sister-in-law', Tao Nuanyu felt that she should clarify her position.

Immediately, he was a lot colder to Xiao Jiujiu.

His eyes turned to the stage.

Xiao Jiujiu noticed the change in Tao Nuanyu's attitude, and suddenly felt a little crooked, feeling that the other party was ...... Perhaps, probably, probably...... Treat her as a 'rival in love'.

That's not it.

However, seeing Tao Nuanyu like this, Xiao Jiujiu had some teasing thoughts, and deliberately did not explain, and said hello to Su Quanquan, and looked at the stage together.

Yahoo's IPO, after a series of operations in the early stage, finally decided to issue 2.6 million new shares on the basis of the original 25.7 million shares, which is equivalent to about 10% of the original share capital, and the issue price was determined to be $13, raising $33.8 million.

Speaking of which, the key $13 pricing is clearly on the low side.

Let's say that Excite, Yahoo's biggest competitor listed last week, has a lot of gaps in size compared to Yahoo, closing at $17 on the first day of listing.

However, it is also known that both Yahoo and the investors want a good start, so a lower issue price was finally determined.

Now, all everyone cares about is how high the market value of Yahoo stock can hit on the first day it goes public.

The 'bell ringing ceremony' that began at 9 o'clock, with various interactive speeches, and at 9:30 a.m., the U.S. stock officially began trading, and Yahoo stock also entered the inquiry stage.

The so-called 'inquiry' means that on the first day of a company's stock listing, before the official opening of free trading, investors in the secondary market will quote and finally determine the official opening price on the first day of trading.

Among them, the more popular the stock, the longer the 'inquiry' process, often going through many rounds.

Just like Ali later, on the first day of listing in 2014, it took as many as 10 rounds of inquiries that lasted more than two hours before the market finally opened.

Inside the current NASDAQ Hall.

Entering the inquiry stage, everyone no longer needs to stay on the stage, Su Hang came directly to the stage to meet Tao Nuanyu, just saw Xiao Jiujiu on the stage, the girl also waved her hand to greet him, at this time can not be too cold, smile and say hello.

Tao Nuanyu couldn't see this, and quickly interrupted: "Su Hang, make a bet, do you think you can get 35 dollars today?" ”

According to the total share capital of 28.3 million after Yahoo's listing, if the stock price exceeds $35, the market value will also exceed 1 billion.

Although the media and institutions are generally very optimistic about Yahoo after Excite, the market value exceeded 1 billion on the first day of listing, which is equivalent to a stock price increase of nearly 170% on the first day, and most people still don't have much confidence.

Of course, Su Hang couldn't decide, he was just a small person at this time, and he couldn't relate to Yahoo's IPO at all, so after thinking about it, he asked first: "Sister Nuan Yu, what are you betting on?" ”

"If I win, you can lend me another percent."

"Oh," Su Hang responded, and then shook his head: "Don't bet." ”

"You're boring."

A voice came from the other side: "Nuan Yu, why don't I bet with you, but I don't understand what you just said, so I can only bet on dinner, how about it?" ”

Tao Nuanyu looked at it, it was Xiao wine.

Immediately learning to look like a teenager, he said coldly: "Don't gamble." ”

Sure enough, I was jealous.

Xiao Jiujiu's misunderstanding deepened, but he also had a little inexplicable challenge thoughts, turned to a certain teenager, and deliberately got closer: "Su Hang, why don't we bet, I'm quite optimistic that the market value of this company can exceed $1 billion on the first day, or a meal, how about it?" ”

Su Hang still shook his head: "Sister Jiujiu, I don't have time at night, I have something to do." ”

At the moment, there are basically no surprises, so the evening will definitely be a celebration for Yahoo.

Xiao Jiujiu didn't give up: "Then tomorrow?" ”

"There will be something tomorrow," Su Hang said honestly: "I didn't lie to you, I've been busy these past few days, and I don't even have time to walk around here." ”

Xiao Jiujiu continued, and couldn't help but get closer, and his body gently touched the young man: "There will always be time at noon later, right?" ”

Well, there is.

However, without waiting for Su Hang to speak, Xiao Jiujiu had already said: "I know that it is not yet closing time, in this way, you are also a shareholder of this company, please make a good fortune, take the initiative to admit defeat, you invite me, well, and Weilan, the two of us can't eat much from you." ”

The girl has said this, and it would be rude to refuse again.

Anyway, there was indeed time at noon, so Su Hang nodded.

Saying this, the results of the first round of inquiry on Yahoo shares were also officially released, and the intended price, $19 to $20, directly increased by 50% compared to the issue price.

You must know that before Excite went public, the highest point of the stock price on the first day was about $20.

Yahoo is only the first round of inquiries.

Many people think of the excitement of the past few days, about the 'tuyere', about a certain 'magical boy' who has created a series of small miracles on the other side of the ocean, and it is inevitable that they will look forward to it more and more.

Subsequently, the second round of inquiries began.

Although there was no increase in quotations, after the second round, it entered the third and fourth rounds...... Until the sixth round, Yahoo stock was quoted in the range of $27 to $28.

It has more than doubled.

Money-related things are too easy to attract people's attention, as if in the blink of an eye, the time has passed 11 o'clock in the morning.

With the attention of countless people on and off the floor, Yahoo finally opened at $27.75 and broke through the $30 mark in less than five minutes after the market opened.

With a high level of concentration, people can go hungry easily.

Seeing the opening, even though they were very curious about the results, Su Hang and his entourage did not continue to stay at the National Stock Exchange, but left to eat at a nearby restaurant.

However, there is not much thought about eating.

After lunch, everyone returned to the still crowded hall of the National Stock Exchange, and then found that Yahoo's stock price had broken through $45 and was sprinting towards $50.

That's right.

Not a certain threshold of $35, but ...... It has broken $45, an increase of 246% compared to the opening price of $13, and Yahoo's market capitalization has reached $1.27 billion.

I wanted to know the final result, so I didn't leave, and after greeting Yahoo, everyone went back to the lounge where they had stayed before the morning.

Until four o'clock in the afternoon.

Yahoo's stock price briefly broke through the high of $53 in the first trading day, and although it retreated, it finally stayed at a high of $49.125.

Why three decimal places?

Because the minimum trading unit of US stocks is one-eighth of the US dollar.

Of course, that's not the point.

The point is that on the first day of listing, Yahoo's market capitalization rushed to $1.39 billion, a single-day increase of 277% compared with the issue price.

On the other hand, the 500,000 shares that Mercury Capital acquired with a $5 million investment also increased to $24.56 million, which is almost five times the principal.

Equivalent to RMB, it is more than 200 million.

That is to say, an investment of less than 50 million has earned 150 million in just one day.

Su Hangzhou's trip to the United States was already followed by many people, and the results were released and quickly transmitted back to China.
