Chapter 176 ICQ Nasdaq Listing

March 28.

Washington, Nasdaq Stock Exchange.

Today, three new stocks are about to be listed, namely ICQ, Ford Laurie Software, and Uusi Pharmaceuticals.Among them, ICQ, which currently has hundreds of millions of users worldwide, is the most eye-catching.

As early as a few months ago, when ICQ announced its listing plan, it attracted the attention of hundreds of media and newspapers across the United States. Countless American stockholders were eagerly waiting to witness another "Internet myth". Rise.

In fact, it is not so easy for companies to list on NASDAQ!

It needs to meet many requirements.

For example: the number of shareholders must be higher than 300.

For this prerequisite, ICQ company certainly did not meet at the beginning of the period.

However, this is not a big deal.

For ICQ, which currently has more than 2,000 employees worldwide, the purchase of relevant equity shares by internal employees can easily meet the minimum requirement of 300 shareholders.

The founding team such as Weisge, and shareholders of the board of directors such as Zhuke, Amazon, Goldman Sachs, and News Corporation, correspondingly took out a portion of the shares in proportion to the share quota of internal employees.

Zhu Ke's holdings in ICQ have been diluted again and are currently 11.2%.

Don't be too small.Zhu Ke, who holds 11.2% of the shares, is still a major shareholder of ICQ.

today!

In this big day when ICQ is listed on NASDAQ, ICQ's major shareholders and investment institution representatives have come to the scene one after another, and will ring the listing bell at 9:30.

"Zuke, I heard that you are a director again. Are you planning to start a new film?"

Before 9:30 came, Bezos chatted with Zucker.

"Huh? You know!" Zhu Ke was stunned.

Hearing this, Bezos curled his lips and said, "Please, buddy. Are you not watching the news these days? All the major media on the west coast of the United States have reports, okay?"

"So that's it." Zhuke suddenly understood.

In fact, Zhu Ke still underestimated his current influence!

Who is Zhu Ke?

He is only 21 years old. In just three years, he has built a media group from scratch and is a super rich man with a net worth of more than $1 billion.And its subsidiary, Wald Pictures, has produced excellent films. UPN TV network is not bad either. In addition to the copyrights of "SpongeBob SquarePants" and "American Got Talent", the recently launched WWE wrestling competition has also attracted The eyes of a large number of spectators.

Young, rich, self-made...

To put it bluntly, Zhu Ke is now the top traffic among the rich!

Everything is very attractive to those young people with dreams!

Just ask, how can media reporters who have no offline and moral integrity abandon Zhu Ke, the top traffic?

"Yes!"

Zhu Ke said frankly: "I am different from other rich people. Some of them like to be surrounded by beautiful women, some like to show off their wealth, and some like to buy islands, villas, and luxury cars. This is their hobby."

"Oh?"

Bei's bald head teased: "Your hobby is to make movies? Then how do you explain that there are often different women around you?"

MMP!

"Take care of your own business, buddy. When you get divorced one day, I will open the bottle for a long time to celebrate for you." The dark-faced Zhuke immediately issued the most vicious curse.

Bei's bald head didn't take it seriously.

However, he never expected that in a certain year in the future, when he really got divorced, Zhuke did not break his promise, and opened a bottle of red wine worth millions of dollars to celebrate in front of him.

......

"Hi, Zhuke. Today must be a big day!"

Wisge, the founder and chairman of ICQ, walked in front of Zhu Ke and immediately gave a bear hug.

"Yes, today is very important." Zhu Ke said with disdain.

What to wear?

At this moment, in the eyes of outsiders, Zhuke and Weisger are good friends with the same goals and good comrades in icq together to create a great situation!

however!

The entire ICQ executives and board representatives know that Zhuke and Wisger are already incompatible.

The two quarreled more than once about ICQ's development model, unit management and diversification issues, and equity issues!

Major shareholders of companies such as Goldman Sachs, News Corporation, and Sequoia Capital are also happy to see it here.

The bigger the company, the more internal contradictions, which is inevitable!

Of course, in front of outsiders, especially in front of media reporters, both Zhuke and Visg tried their best to act as good brothers and comrades-in-arms.

False rich man!

"Congratulations, I believe that ICQ will create a miracle!" The representative of the Nasdaq exchange exclaimed.

"Mr. Wald, Mr. Weisger, you have created a wealth myth."

"is not it!"

"What is Cisco? What is Microsoft? What is Amazon? Everything depends on ICQ!"

"Yes! ICQ instant messaging software has hundreds of millions of users around the world. How many Internet companies can have this huge number?"

Other witnesses around him also offered compliments.

"Boom~~!"

At 9:30, when the Nasdaq opened, Weisge, as the chairman and founder of ICQ, acted on behalf of ICQ and rang the bell for listing on NASDAQ.

A piece of green!

(The green line of U.S. stocks represents more bulls and less bears, representing growth.)

The issue price per share of Icq was $39, but it soared to $52 as soon as the market opened!

It can be said that the upswing is amazing!

After the whole day, ICQ's stock has fluctuated, but the overall gains are gratifying, with a peak of $109 on the day and $92 at the close.

In just one day, ICQ's market value reached 6 billion US dollars!

Well, it's more than the value in the original time and space, I don't know how many times it is higher.

.......

The next day.

When Zhu Ke appeared on the set of "Tuner", he received a compliment.

"Mr. Wald, congratulations. Your investment is definitely profitable."

Paul Walker said excitedly.

The news that Zhu Ke invested only US$8 million in the ICQ project, Angel round, A round, B round, before and after the ICQ, was exposed by many media reporters.

Especially the "Global Times"!

"Global Times" published Zucker's investment myth directly on the front page, claiming: "Zuke Wald, the new leader of American corporate value investors!"

Suddenly, it caused an uproar.

You know, the ICQ shares currently held by Zhu Ke are worth US$600-700 million!This wealth has surpassed many established family businesses that have rooted in the United States for decades.Moreover, it is certain that this number will increase a lot in the next month.

For a while, Zhuke once again made a big splash!

Countless young American men and women regard it as an idol in life.

Zhu Ke was naturally very happy, and immediately decided...to expand the security team around him again.
