Chicago 1990

The Nasdaq Stock Exchange is already fully electronic trading, and it is not really going to be used to ring the bell. Jim Clark and others went to the washstand to clean up their faces, and then walked to an open studio that served as a media corner. In Times Square, every inch of land and gold, to tell the truth, Song Ya felt a little cramped. The media and the camera were not far in front. Everyone immediately applauded and increased the noise when they saw a string of billionaires and multimillionaires. warm.

Song Ya followed Brandon Aiqi to a place where there is a stock price marquee above, and below is the Nasdaq and Netscape Logo wall, and the photo booth with everyone in a mess. It is impossible for everyone in Netscape to completely change from such a huge Calm down in excitement, keep raising arms and waving to reporters and traders, always saying'Yes!Yay!Growls like'and so on.

Everyone gave Mark Anderson and Brandon Aitch several technological heroes to C position. There is a button on the small table in front of them. Pressing it symbolizes the opening of the stock market for a day. This is the so-called clock.

Song Ya was tall and stood in the back row. At a glance, he found old Mike, Dr. Chen and other people who came with him behind the media, as well as O'Grady of Northern Trust, so he raised his hand to greet them.

I originally prepared a pallet of $10 million and planned to let O'Grady build a position in the range of $10 to $14, but Jim Clark and the others directly doubled the issue price to $28. This plan was completely invalidated. Then I thought about the situation. If the market breaks badly, I would buy a little around 20 dollars, but now it seems that all preparations are all jokes, and the opening price directly rushed to 71 and a half dollars ruthlessly.

It feels too risky to buy again. O'Grady ran for nothing today, but he still gave Song Ya a thumbs up happily.

"Ladies and gentlemen……"

The time was so tight that Madoff made a short speech, and then left Mark Anderson with a few words of speech time. At 9:30, Mark pressed the button on time as everyone’s countdown sounded, "Boom." Some jet streamers and colored paper were scattered above everyone's heads, and music rang out.

There were more enthusiastic applause and cheers, and then the order became a little messy. Netscape also came with many middle-level managers who were not qualified to show up at the ringing of the bell, as well as representatives of venture capital institutions, underwriters and market makers. At this time One after another came over and took photos with the wealthy Xinke.

"Dr. Chen, come on."

Song Ya also greeted O'Grady and Dr. Chen for a group photo, "Mike!" He greeted old Mike again, who smiled and waved his hand, "Come on, Mike, don't be shy!" He forced old Mike over loudly. Take a group photo with arms around.

The scene was roaring, and some exchange staff suddenly exclaimed. Song Ya and Jim Clark looked back at the marquee. Netscape stock unexpectedly ended its decline from $72, and it went up again. Now it's seventy-three dollars.

Now Jim Clark and the others are in no mood to take a group photo, and they all start to get away together, going back to continue watching the market.

"This venture capital will make you famous APLUS."

O'Grady smiled and said, "You go too. Since the money can't be spent, I'm going to go back to Chicago."

"Okay, but thank you very much."

Song Ya hugged him happily. Jim Clark patted him on the back as he passed by, "I'll be here right away." He responded to Jim, "Then I'll pass, I'll come to you at noon." He still told old Mike. Dr. Chen said.

"Go, kid." Old Mike smiled and seemed to be infected by such a festive scene.

"Thank you APLUS, I must thank you again."

Song Ya and Mark Anderson got together in the aisle. He was extremely excited and his voice was still trembling. Holding Song Ya's hand, he said from the bottom of his heart: "From a certain perspective, Jim made me. , And you doubled my net worth."

Indeed, without his own entry, he would not be able to obtain the current equity and option incentive conditions from Jim Clark. According to the subsequent progress, it may be almost exactly half to half, so he would say'help my assets turn over Times.'

"The Mark you deserve."

Song Ya didn't pretend to be hypocritical, and accepted the thank you very calmly, "Will you exercise the power for the motivation part?"

"Just kidding, of course."

Indeed, the stock price rushed to such a high level, he would be an idiot if he didn’t exercise his rights, and the person in front of him was a proper one. Another billionaire, Blanche Eich was almost rushed to the spot by surprise when he got 1%. A heart attack, according to the current stock price of $73, it is nearly 60 million, and his equity plus options together can be about two percent.

Then I think of my shares after being diluted in the IPO, probably in the early 3%...

"APLUS, come together?"

Baxter came over to greet him. He seemed to be responsible for accepting follow-up media interviews.

"That is your stage." Song Ya smiled and waved.

"Okay, haha, then I'll pass." Bacchus departed happily. This guy was never called by Jim Clark to take charge of company management and promotion. He should be lower than Mark Anderson but higher than Bu Langdon Aiqi’s option award, as a purely professional manager who doesn’t understand technology, is considered a bargain this time. Of course, his high-intensity propaganda over the past few months and even his contact with Microsoft has proved to be very good today. The effect is also great.

In short, this capital feast made everyone post it, and it was only a few ten minutes before and after, and it was really exciting.

Of course, Song Ya’s threshold for the so-called stimulus is already different from that of Mark and others.

"No way, I shouldn't be able to support the price of more than seventy dollars..."

When they returned to the small room with Mark, the joy on Jim Clark's and their faces calmed down a bit, and the Netscape stock price curve began to turn down again. Now any small fluctuations affect their hearts.

As the founder of SGI, Jim, who was still a little immature at the time, was squeezed a lot of money by venture capital. When he left there, he owned only 5% of the SGI shares, which was equivalent to the investor taking away the entire bowl of his biological children. After that, he vowed not to repeat the same mistakes in Netscape. From the establishment of Netscape to the listing, he has always firmly grasped the power of the company. The pace of financing and listing is amazing. Today, he has entered the ranks of billionaires and is the biggest winner.

"NO, NO, NO..."

He kept muttering to the computer screen that Netscape stock fell below seventy dollars to the six-character range, and then began to change hands in huge numbers.

"What do you say at noon? The Valendorf?" Song Ya was a little hungry.

"I can't eat it, no need, go to the prepared celebration dinner after the close." Jim Clark shook his head, "Yes, there will be a closing bell in the afternoon, APLUS, you come?"

"No, let Mark come, or you can do it yourself." Song Ya waved his hand with a smile, "I'm just a humble minority shareholder."

"Your mentality is really good APLUS, and luck is really fucking good."

Jim Clark smiled and cursed, then turned around and continued to concentrate on the candlestick.

The stock price seems to have stabilized in the 60th range. Song Ya stayed with them for a while, feeling a little bored, and went out to find old Mike, "Is there a call for me?"

"It's about to be blown up."

Old Mike took the phone out of his arms, and there were countless missed calls on it.

"Mimi, you saw the news too, haha..."

"Who is your husband."

"Well, I made a lot of money, but it's nothing, just normal operation."

"No, this kind of thing is bad. The current stock price doesn't explain any problems. My stock has to wait for the lifting period to pass, and then the stock price will be real money."

"Okay, you can continue filming, um, don't tire yourself. I love you."

After talking with his wife, Song Ya called back when he saw the number of his acquaintance, "Hey, Daniel, are you looking for me?"

"Congratulations to APLUS, wow, I saw you on TV, wow, the major news stations said that Netscape's stock price performance on the day of its listing was a market miracle!"

Daniel said a few words first, "I feel like taking this opportunity to release your Whatever You Like as a single? Now all the fans are discussing that you followed Jim Clark and they made a fortune. My money is piled up, bullets are added. Bing, I can do whatever you want... The lyrics of that song are very suitable and will be a big hit. It’s an opportunity."

"But my personal brand vodka hasn't been released yet."

Song Ya was planning to wait for Grey Goose Vodka to start selling the song in the U.S., "But...it seems like it is indeed a good opportunity?"

"of course!"

Daniel said excitedly: "Think about it, you just made another 100 million from Netscape. Did you make 100 million? No matter what, anyway, your investment is a big success again. Everyone knows it, and it happened to be used to cooperate with that song. Doctrine song released."

"Okay, yes, I agree." Song Ya still recognized him in terms of his ability to publicize.

"Okay, do you have any requirements for the MV heroine? We want to shoot the MV as soon as possible." Daniel said: "We discussed the script you submitted before. You can just press that shot. It's pretty good."

"let me see……"

Song Ya closed her eyes and recalled the original MV, "The female is mainly African-American with a good figure. Well, you don’t need to be too provocative, and don’t use actresses, because in the script she is a not very pleasing gold worshiper. You can hold an audition, me? There is no recommender... Wait for Daniel, let me ask first, because I am about to inject capital into the Inner City Broadcasting Company, maybe people in the inner city can recommend a relative or friend and earn Points."
