Chapter 319 Shocking Stock Prices and the American Dream

In fact, to be precise, Li Xiaofan did not see the complete Yahoo stock quotes on the screen.

When Li Xiaofan turned around, the stage was already very lively. A group of Yahoo employees and customers behind him rushed to the stage to take photos, blocking the view of the quotes on the big screen.

At this time, Tang Xinyi also came up excitedly with a digital camera and shouted to Li Xiaofan: "Dear, such a meaningful moment! You can find someone to take a photo for us, and we can take a photo together?"

"Well, no problem. Dear, let's put the photo shooting aside for a while, I want to see the opening quotes of Yahoo stocks for a while!"

Li Xiaofan didn't have the heart to take a photo at this time. He stood on tiptoe, stretched his neck, and finally saw the Yahoo stock price on the big screen behind him:

"Yahoo! Inc. (NASDAQ: YHOO)$"

The opening price of Yahoo stock that popped up on the big screen was US dollars, which was more than double the opening price of US dollars in the previous life!

When Li Xiaofan saw the opening price of Yahoo, he couldn't believe his eyes. Oh my god, US dollars!

Li Xiaofan felt his heartbeat speed up suddenly, and his heart was pounding!

Oh my god, it's awesome!

Let me be quiet for a while and calculate my own worth. If I hold 2.96 million shares...

Oh my god, it's over US$150 million!

When Li Xiaofan was calculating his own worth, the crowd was in turmoil again. The price of Yahoo's stock was pushed up to US dollars by a wave of buying.

Masayoshi Son of SoftBank Group cheered and laughed with excitement: "Long live, long live! Great, haha, my market value has exceeded US$400 million, haha, haha, haha!"

Yes, in a few months, one billion dollars went down, and four billion dollars came out!

Such a lucrative business is very rare in human history. How can Masayoshi Son not be excited!

On the side, Jerry Yang and Filo, the two founders, were also very excited and exclaimed: "Oh, my God, our net worth is actually more than 180 million US dollars. I can't imagine it, it's like a dream!"

A few minutes later, Jerry Yang and Filo, the two founders, regained their composure, came over and hugged Moritz, Li Xiaofan and Masayoshi Son, and expressed their deepest gratitude to the three investors!

Masayoshi Son's face flushed red, unable to suppress the excitement on his face, and said loudly: "Everyone, I have reserved a seat in advance tonight, and invite you all to have dinner at Masa, the best Japanese restaurant in New York!"

Masa is a Michelin three-star Japanese restaurant, famous for its expensiveness among Japanese restaurants in New York. This is a restaurant that many gourmets exaggerate as "worth eating before you die". The owner of Masa Japanese Restaurant is Masa Takayama, a famous Japanese-American chef who was already famous in Tokyo Ginza and Los Angeles Beverly Hills before entering New York.

It is no exaggeration to say that Masa Japanese Restaurant is the most expensive restaurant in New York at present, because almost all of the top fresh ingredients of this restaurant are airlifted from Japan to New York. In order to ensure the freshness of the ingredients, the cost is obvious, so it is expensive for a reason.

After a group of people took a group photo in the demonstration hall of the NASDAQ Exchange, Li Xiaofan found a Yahoo employee to help him and Tang Xinyi take many group photos.

After taking the photos, Li Xiaofan was holding Tang Xinyi's waist and looking up at the Yahoo stock market on the big screen. Alice, the public relations director of Yahoo, came to find Li Xiaofan and whispered: "Mr. Li, Jerry wants to invite you to the media interview room. Several reporters from major media organizations want to interview you later. Is it convenient for you?"

"Well, okay, no problem, I'll go there right away!"

When Li Xiaofan took Tang Xinyi into the media interview room of the NASDAQ Exchange, many media from Wall Street and around the world had gathered inside.

Mainstream TV media such as the famous American Columbia Broadcasting Corporation CBS, American Broadcasting Corporation ABC, Fox Broadcasting Corporation FOX and National Broadcasting Corporation NBC, as well as mainstream newspaper media such as the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, New York Times, and New York Daily News.

Inside, the two main founders of Yahoo and Jerry Yang and Filo were being interviewed by these media.

The online reporter of the American Columbia Broadcasting Corporation CBS was broadcasting live to the TV camera: "Yahoo, which is listed on the NASDAQ market today, is headquartered in Santa Clara, California, USA. It is the world's first website to provide Internet navigation services, and it is also the world's largest portal website that provides free email services. Yahoo's website is evaluated by many netizens as the most convenient search, the richest content, the most entertaining value, the most attractive pictures and the easiest to use website..."

A beautiful reporter from the National Broadcasting Corporation NBC also praised Yahoo, which was listed today, facing the camera:

"Yahoo, which went public today, has been voted by the majority of American Internet users for several consecutive weeks as the website with the best content, the highest practicality, and the easiest to use! For more and more new Internet users around the world, Yahoo! The search engine is like a personal navigation commentator. If you want to query information, it is like a friendly and competent librarian to help you provide global Internet navigation services! It has become a leader in the global Internet industry in terms of information volume and brand awareness..."

Finally, hosts from ABC, NBC, CBS and other media focused their interviews on Jerry Yang.

Because today, the success of Yang Zhiyuan, a Chinese young man from Taipei, represents the success of the so-called "American Dream"!

This Chinese-American youth who was not born in the United States came to the United States to study. Together with another local American partner, Ferro, he built a successful Internet company in just one year and successfully traded on Nasdaq today. Listed on the stock market, he himself has entered the club of billionaires worth hundreds of millions of dollars!

This undoubtedly has once again established an idol for the younger generation in the United States, a country that advocates personal success. This is also the American value that these American media are most worthy of showing off!

Jerry Yang's success today is very consistent with the "American Dream" promoted by mainstream American values!

The American Dream, since 1776, generations of Americans have firmly believed that as long as they work hard and unremittingly, they can achieve a better life. That is, people must move towards prosperity through their own diligence, courage, creativity and determination. rather than relying on specific social classes and the aid of others. For more than two hundred years, the "American Dream" has been inspiring countless young people around the world who have dreams, either to immigrate, to study, or to smuggle themselves across the country. They give up their homeland, hold their dreams, and go through all kinds of hardships just to come to this land. Creating its own value, the United States has become the cradle of many successful people around the world.

Unlike the native-born David Ferro, Jerry Yang is a new immigrant, and more importantly, a Chinese immigrant. Before this, there were very few new Chinese immigrants in the United States who were as successful in starting a business as Jerry Yang!

The elegant Jerry Yang wore his trademark shy smile and patiently accepted interviews with these media. He talked eloquently and introduced how he came to Stanford University from Taiwan to study. After graduating from Ph.D., he and Ferro lived together in a simple RV. The story of creating the Yahoo search engine project in the office...
