Chapter 750? Closing

"Mr. Underwood? Haha, Jim made me rich, yes, I can also see the news... Jim, Jim Clark, the founder of SGI, are you not familiar with him? Your wife is also in New York Yes, we have a celebration party tonight, no problem, I asked Linda to prepare an invitation for Claire, does she have any friends over? Oh, it’s not a polite dinner party or buffet in Washington...Okay, I’ll take care of Claire and the others for you.”

"Yo, DeLay, haha ​​thanks... huh? That's an exaggeration. I didn't expect the opening price to exceed $70 at all, and O'Grady didn't expect that he was going to help me open a position at around $20. Haha, those investment institutions and stockholders are crazy."

"Mr. Dingkins, thank you, me? I feel that I am still out of the situation for the time being. Silicon Valley bosses made me rich, um... um, don't worry, I can get up tomorrow, okay, see you in New York? That's it..."

"Mr. Geffen, haha, yes, Jim made me rich, yes, I am also watching the news, thank you, thank you..."

The phone calls came one after another. At noon, Song Ya was a little overwhelmed, "By the way, there is a Stanley... Do you know Mr. Chase? Mr. Madoff gave me his business card last night, yes, yes I gave it to you personally... Is it convenient? That's great, let me find a chance to have a good chat with you when I go to Los Angeles..."

'Netscape's first day of stock trading on Nasdaq opens at a record $71.50. At present, the market value of this cutting-edge technology company that has not yet made a profit record has surpassed that of Delta Air Lines, which has a history of nearly 70 years...’

There is a small TV above his head where he is calling. CNBC, that is, NBC’s economic channel, is broadcasting live images of the bell ringing before. As Mark Anderson presses the button, the music starts and the ribbons flutter. Since everyone else is white, he is also very Conspicuous, standing at the side of the crowd, wearing a hat, smiling and applauding.

"However, the stock continued to decline after hitting a high of 73 dollars one minute after the opening. It is hard to judge what point it will fall at the close. Next, we will ask our guests to analyze it for you in detail..."

The screen cuts to the stock K line, and a zigzag curve is indeed bowing down.

"Harry? Haha thank you, uh, please speak slowly... No, no, the issue price is different from the opening price, how can I explain this on the phone... Next time, let's talk about it next time we meet. Me? Can I I can’t say for sure about getting rich. My stock has not been lifted, it’s not frozen, it’s because it hasn’t reached the lifting date... Well, if you don’t know any financial knowledge, don’t worry about it anymore. I won’t talk to you, I Very busy now! Hang up!"

"Really."

As soon as he hung up the phone, someone held down the back of his neck, "APLUS! Why are you hiding here, come here, everyone is here." Oh, it's Jim Clark, Song Ya looked at him suspiciously, this guy will not be strongly Doesn't the thrill of the movie induce David Geffen's kind of addiction?

"Come on, we can talk on the phone anytime."

Jim Clark didn't know his mental activities, turned around and took him back to the small room. At this time, there were a few more white men, "Let me introduce you, APLUS, we all know each other, this is..."

It turned out that several bosses of KBCP came, including Doerr, one of the founders of Intel, and Joyce, the former president of Sun, who are both big names in the technology industry and investment circles.

"Hello, it's an honor..." Song Ya continued to behave with her tail between her legs.

"Haha, APLUS, you took the 5% from us?" Joyce smiled and shook his hand.

It seems that Doerr is responsible for the venture capital investment of Netscape, and his executives are responsible for the specific affairs. At that time, it seemed that the man and Jim Clark could not agree on one million.

So Jim Clark was very unhappy and turned around and doubled the price to give himself the five percent.

"I don't know much about the..."

Song Ya looked around while pretending to be stupid, and the KPCB executive who refused to pay an extra million seemed to have disappeared.

"You still voted for DTS, right?"

Doerr didn't show much regret. There should be many such things in the venture capital circle. After all, no one knew that Jim Clark could accomplish such a great achievement at the time. They invested in many projects, and internal management should be very strict. Definitely right on a macro level.

"Yes, but DTS is not as lucky as Netscape." Song Ya nodded.

"What else? 3DFX?"

"Yes, 3DFX, and a VCD player manufacturer in Huaguo, have been there for several years and have not yet recovered their investment."

"Palm, he also voted for Palm." Jim Clark added for him, "It was later acquired by American Robotics and made a fortune."

"Yes, Palm founder Jeffrey Hawkins felt he had no management skills and wanted to focus his personal energy on research and development."

Song Ya knew that it was not difficult for the other party to inquire about anything, so she briefly introduced a few of her venture capital investments. As for traditional industries such as clothing, wine industry, radio stations, and TV stations, there is no need to talk about it. KPCB generally only invests in the technology industry. cast.

"The success rate is really high enough."

Duer smiled and said, "Ah, the pig on the air vent?"

"Luck, it's all luck." Song Ya is modest, "Personally, I think the main reason is that the economy is good, the stock market is good, and foolish investors can make money."

"Um."

Joyce nodded, "Okay, let's stop chatting and talk about business..."

Many Internet companies invested by KPCB will go public one after another this year and next. They are very satisfied with the stock price performance of Netscape, so they came here in person.

Song Ya even suspected that they, Morgan Stanley, and Hamberquist were behind the enthusiastic pursuit of the market before the market opened. Whether Netscape can succeed now not only represents the interests of his own family, but is related to KPCB's future strategic layout. , and even the entire Internet industry.

The main concern of KPCB is the slow decline after the high opening on the first day. Now many investment institutions are obviously taking profits and leaving the market.

The better the performance of Netscape's stock price, the better the listing environment for their follow-up venture capital companies. "Let Baxter talk a little more, where is Mark Anderson? Are you also being interviewed?" Joyce asked.

"Yes, they're all outside," Jim Clark replied.

"Mark's image packaging should be more professional, he is our business card, and APLUS, Wall Street seems to like your good luck."

Durr said.

"He's already famous." Jim Clark patted Song Ya on the back and said with a smile, "Big singer."

"Uh, I plan to take this opportunity to release a single, and I will try my best to help hype the company." Song Ya said.

"Very good, very good."

The bosses of KPCB were very satisfied and stayed until the market closed in the afternoon. They waited for Mark Anderson to ring the closing bell before leaving. The stock price was fixed at 58.25 cents.

"Failed to hold the sixty mark, but it's not bad."

Baxter asked Jim Clark cheerfully, "I just announced our new products in the company's internal server market to the media. Is it okay? You asked me to say more."

"No problem, well done."

Jim Clark was very satisfied, slapped his hands and said loudly: "Morgan Stanley has prepared the best party on Wall Street for us! Today belongs to us!"

According to this closing price, he is now worth more than one billion without a doubt. Song Ya's shares are worth about 145 million, Mark Anderson is worth more than 100 million, and Brandon Iger is 470 million. Millions, Baxter was somewhere in between.

"What new product?" Song Ya asked.

"Enterprise intranet server software, remember what I told you? Our alliance with SUN will make efforts in the field at the same time. Our browser cooperates with SUN's servers and systems, which can help enterprises improve management efficiency. .”

Jim Clark didn't intend to give him a lot of science, "Let's go out, you have to accept a few interviews later."

"No problem, I'm good at it."

On one trading day, a group of rich and small new tech rich people who shocked the entire meter was born, and everyone walked with wind when they left the exchange.

"Ms. Sloan, Linda."

Song Ya didn't have time to watch it, but he could fully imagine how the financial news would broadcast this event. In Times Square, he used the Nasdaq Exchange exterior wall marquee as the background to accept several media interviews and then went to Morganstan. Li joined the other subordinates at the party scene that Li had already arranged, "Where is Alicia? She didn't come?"

"Our future wife of the Governor of Illinois is terrified of being seen in public right now."

Sloan smiled gloatingly: "It should be because of the indecent photos of his husband. After all, there must be no shortage of interested people on Wall Street to pay attention to the gubernatorial election."

"That's up to her, Linda, and say hello to Jim's secretary, and prepare some evening invitations for Claire and her friends."

Song Ya confessed to Linda: "And my other friends in New York, Sutton and his son, Daniel, Newman..."

A list of names, when he was reporting, "Wow wow wow..." Ms. Sloan tilted her head, covered her wine glass in front of her eyes and laughed awkwardly.

"how?"

Song Ya looked over and saw two white men and women who didn't know whether they were Wall Street traders or investment managers entangled in a live broadcast, and the Wall Street elites in suits and shoes next to them laughed wildly and watched closely.

"Look, over there..." Ms. Sloan pointed to another circle in the party. The addicts on Wall Street also started to openly.

They jumped up and down, chanting the kind of slogans that direct selling companies use to brainwash people, no matter men or women, they don't care about their own image and other people's, and they behave like animals.

"This group of guys usually look like dogs, but they are more fun in private than Old Hei..."

It can be regarded as seeing it with my own eyes, Song Ya can only complain like this.
