Back To 1995

   Chapter 645

   It is not the key to listing ICQ, the key is that after the listing, the stock price cannot collapse, otherwise, it will be impossible to play.

  Irene, Greck, and other ICQ executives all froze when they heard Song Yang's words. They all knew that ICQ would make a big move next.

  Song Yang now has quite a few opponents. I don’t know how many people secretly and secretly want to target ICQ. During this time, there are not a few people who have touted ICQ, but there are also many people who can belittle ICQ for its worthlessness.

   Like Castle Fund, LVMH Group, and I don’t know how many opponents, they are all secretly waiting for ICQ output, as long as there is a little flaw, these hyenas will swarm.

Not only the opponents inside and outside the industry, but also the American Donkey Party, the antitrust school behind Ella Cherry, the Anglo-Saxons headed by Edward Winslow, etc., are all eyeing Song Yang. .

As long as they dare to reveal a little flaw or weakness, these people will come and bite. In their eyes, if Song Yang is brought down, they will be able to get a large piece of fat. As long as there is a little chance, they will won't miss it.

  Irene nodded, "I will contact several investment banks that issue ICQ stock, plus General Electric, Comcast, etc., ICQ's stock price should not be pulled down..."

No one wants ICQ's share price to collapse. Wall Street is waiting to cash out. General Electric and Comcast are eagerly waiting for a big merger plan. ICQ's share price collapsed, and it didn't do them any good. Immel The first one did not agree.

If someone is really short, it will be difficult with several investment banks such as Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, Merrill Lynch, General Electric, Comcast, and even Enron, etc., will also support ICQ, but the key is to fear that someone will do something against ICQ. Do not guard against it!

   "I'm afraid there will be a lot of people coming to the dinner party after ICQ goes public!"

Gleek said that there will definitely be a lot of people coming to the celebration feast after ICQ's listing, not only from the Internet industry, but also from Wall Street, the technology industry, and even the party. It's really bad.

The countdown to ICQ's listing has entered. At this time, the entire Silicon Valley, and even the global Internet industry, have begun to turn their attention to this social empire. ICQ's valuation, fundraising, and user scale have all set new records. Countless people Everyone wants to see whether the stock price and market value of ICQ will also set new records after the listing.

There are many opponents. After all, ICQ's stock price is not cheap. The stock price of 60 US dollars, plus the valuation of 27.8 billion US dollars, is listed on Nasdaq. In the Internet industry, it is second only to AOL and Yahoo, both of them have reached the threshold of the market value of 50 billion US dollars. When they cross the threshold, they can try to hit the threshold of 100 billion US dollars.

After AOL and Yahoo, it depends on the performance of ICQ after its listing. If the stock price rises sharply, it will attract a lot of leeks into the pit, betting that the market value of ICQ can climb to the sky-high price of 50 billion US dollars. There is no shortage of gamblers, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, there will be a stud!

As for Microsoft, there is no comparison. Now, ICQ's stock price has increased tenfold or even fifteen times, which is no match for Microsoft. Microsoft's market value is already beyond reach. For 99% of companies in the technology industry, It is so.

In the past few years, in the Internet industry, if a company with a market value of more than 100 billion US dollars can emerge, then it can be said that the Internet industry has become one of the mainstream of the technology industry. With the leader, the industry has a direction. , otherwise it will be a piece of loose sand!

   "I don't think ICQ's share price can be sustained. From a professional investment point of view, I can't see the reason why ICQ can be sustained. Not only ICQ but Yahoo AOL, Netscape is the best proof..."

   On New York TV, a **** scholar who supports the "Internet Collapse Theory" said to the host and the camera with justice and indignation.

  ICQ is the focus of discussion throughout New York these days, and countless people are paying attention to whether America's second most valuable person will be born, or even replace the number one.

There is also a lot of clamor about the topic of ICQ discussion. The financial channels of TV stations in various states are also arguing endlessly. Supporters and opponents have their own opinions. Basically, it is still the same old way. Yelling, relying on venture capital companies to burn money and cut leeks in the stock market. When the venture capital companies’ money is burned out, the Internet will be like the wind, and it will dissipate as soon as it blows.

Not to mention supporters of   , what new economic model, a new generation of technological waves, the digital age, etc., all kinds of high-level concepts and terms emerge in an endless stream, focusing on theories and concepts, after all, the performance of Internet companies is really not very good...

   On ICQ, this kind of quarrel is even more intense. As the world's financial center and world-renowned investment institutions, they are all set up in New York, and the debate on the Internet in the Big Apple has never stopped.

   Today's New York Television's Financial Channel is a program about ICQ. As soon as it comes up, both sides are full of gunpowder.

The TV host looked at Abis Wharton, who shouted about the Internet bubble as soon as he came up, and also secretly had a headache. It's too frenetic, it's definitely not sustainable, and the bubble will burst.

   "Then Professor Abis, do you think that ICQ will fall below the issue price after it goes public?"

The host changed the topic and asked, now is the frenzy period of the Internet, America is about to enter the stage of national stock speculation, even if there is a bubble, it is not something that New York TV can report on. It can be reported occasionally to attract leeks and increase the ratings, but The collapse of the Nasdaq is reported every day, and I am afraid that I will be smashed by the TV station.

Abis Wharton hesitated for a moment. He is a professor at a college in New York and a practitioner of conservative investment. According to his common sense, the Internet industry is now a bubble. He dares to use his 30 years of experience. Learning to bet, if the Internet bubble does not burst, it really violates the common sense he has learned, and Newton's coffin board will be unable to hold.

"According to economic common sense, this is indeed the case, but it may take some time before the bubble bursts, but I can guarantee that ICQ's share price will definitely fall. Investing in it may give you some short-term gains, but I think that buying ICQ stock is still a very risky business..."

   "Pfft..."

   Hearing this, in the broadcast room, one person couldn't hold back, and couldn't help laughing.

   "Sorry Wharton, old man, I know I didn't mean to offend you, but I really don't dare to agree with your point of view!"

   The host and the director both aimed the camera at another person in the studio. Compared with Abis Wharton, his fame is much bigger.

Known as the first "Song Chui" of America's Internet Academic School, Song Yang's spiritual mentor in the Internet industry, the first Internet leader, and Song Yang's nominal "spiritual mentor" Tristan, whose name is comparable to that of Abyss · Wharton is much bigger.

Tristan is one of the leaders in academia who touted the Internet. He has contributed a lot of theories to the Internet industry. Of course, what makes him most famous is that he "discovered" Song Yang. Double-click can appear without Terry. Stan's credit.

Of course, no one can say how much Tristan's credit is, but in public, Song Yang has always touted Tristan. Song Yang has never personally admitted to this nominal "spiritual mentor". But did not object.

  Tristan's academic status in the Internet industry is indeed detached, and he dare not say that he will respond. At least major Internet companies will give Tristan, who is often an Internet platform, a bit of a thin face!

Of course, in the land of America, being famous is naturally beneficial. For example, some Internet companies, as well as academic forum conferences, if Tristan is invited to come forward, Tristan will be given nearly six-figure "invitation fee" once. Today If you come to the TV station to do a show, the TV station will also give Tristan a large amount of appearance fee, otherwise how can you invite Tristan.

   "For any company, the stock price will fall, but that process may take five years, ten years or even longer, and it doesn't make any sense to discuss those now!

The issue price of 60 US dollars is the cheapest price for ICQ. If you want to buy it, it is absolutely impossible. ICQ has 100 million users, and it will continue to increase in the future. Business, the current ICQ is the General Electric 20 years ago. If you miss ICQ, you will miss an era! "

   Tristan said without blushing and heartbeat, blowing ICQ, there is no psychological burden, as long as you can't blow it, blow it to death!

  Abbys Wharton and Tristan knew each other naturally. Both of them lived in New York all year round and taught in New York universities. Naturally, they were no strangers to each other.

   "I don't know the future, but with the current profit model of ICQ and the cost, it can't support the current market value of $30 billion..." Abis Wharton continued.

  Tristan waved his hand and rebuked Fang Qiu and said, "I believe in ICQ, I believe in Bruno Song, he will not disappoint, I will be on the Nasdaq trading floor to witness all this with my own eyes!"

   The host's eyes lit up, "Professor Tristan, you were invited to the ICQ listing ceremony?!"

  Tristan smiled. He was in New York, and he was the number one "Song Blowing" in the academic world. He received an invitation letter, so what's the problem?

Looking at the host of the show, and the studio shot, all given to Tristan, Abis Wharton pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, he knew his theory and was not welcome, but he should say All have been said.

  In Times Square, when Amazon’s billboards were still lit up in pieces, they were suddenly replaced with new billboards.
