The Goddess Shines on America

I don't know how many people are waiting for this moment.

At this moment, Orlando Bryan, the then CEO of Lucent Technologies, put down the work at hand and switched the computer to the stock interface early, locking in a blank interface for a new Nasdaq stock. It is ironic that when he stared closely at the opening of Cisco, its "biggest" competitor in the router market, the computers used Cisco routers and switch equipment.

At this moment, Jordan Belfort, who once again put on a cheap suit, entered the Nasdaq exchange with a forged certificate in order to get rid of the unemployment problem after the "87 stock disaster". He is staring at the display screen with many stockbrokers, just waiting for the stock that is under their pressure to rise sharply. Jordan failed to fool James Cameron again this time, but he also succeeded in making a real estate developer named "Trump" foolishly hand over two million dollars in his own investment. Really a guy who is easy to scam money, but this is also a win-win.

At this moment, in the Microsoft headquarters in Redmond, Seattle, Bill Gates is sitting behind his desk with his chin on his hands and staring at the computer with interest. My friend Alice’s own company will be listed immediately. He has just commissioned an 800,000 yuan transaction, and is now bidding together with other orders. At the same time, he was also guessing, as Paul Allen, who was sitting next to him, thought, this time there will be no long-sighted IT company that dare to make trouble when Cisco goes public?

At this moment, in the office of the general manager of Los Angeles DreamWorks, Roger Lawrence pushed away all the work that should be done, rubbing his chin, while clinging to the blank stock chart. There is indeed no curve worth observing, but as a professional venture capitalist who worked on Wall Street for a long time in his early years, he is staring at the small display in the upper right corner of the collective bidding. It is worthy of being the old employer that he had worked for, and it is worthy of being the professional company that he actively introduced to Alice. The accurate valuation will inevitably bring a rich harvest for the opening. This is also one of the reasons why he also participated in the bidding with the same large amount of money.

At this moment, James-Wang asked for leave at home and stayed in front of the computer with Sophie. Of course, Oscar and Hannah also specifically asked for leave for this. The whole family would stay at home and stare at the computer, but they couldn't help spinning around the house because of their excitement. Of course, James is not the case. After all, unlike Microsoft, Cisco was set up by her own daughter, even though she did not go to San Jose many times. His heart is so excited that if it weren't for knowing that his daughter can't be disturbed now, he couldn't help but call San Jose a long time ago.

Also at this moment, an entire Silicon Valley and most of the IT companies in the United States are also staring at the listing of the stock. Because everyone knows what is going on in this industry today. The computer hardware industry is maturing, and the PC terminal is gradually spreading to thousands of households; the new operating system was first released under the leadership of Microsoft. The news of the launch of Windows 3.0 in the spring of next year can really increase the market value of this company; worldwide The telecom operators in China are all accelerating the advancement of network infrastructure, and the convenience that the network can bring to the economy has been felt by the industry. Therefore, when Cisco, the leader and leading enterprise in the emerging industry of "Internet hardware", finally enters the stage of listing, God knows at this moment, how many lines across the country lead to the Nasdaq exchange.

Should it be fortunate? Due to the "Exchange Gate" incident that Microsoft listed last year, the Nasdaq Exchange has drastically upgraded its hardware configuration, not only installing Cisco firewalls, switches, and routers, the well-known "Three Musketeers", but also HP -It's no longer IBM-bought several large computers. So, when thousands of data traffic flocked here, it easily withstood the test.

"One minute left."

Staring at the well-tuned clock, Alice said, "Fifty seconds!"

In the wide and full office of the Technical Department, a pair of eyes stared at the monitor, constantly scanning the Y-axis at the opening position. The first transaction amount is historical data, and Cisco is definitely not bad!

"Forty seconds!"

But at this moment, Alice's heart was calm, because she knew too much.

"Thirty seconds!"

To be fair, when Cisco went public in 1990, it was listed as a NASDAQ stock, not a blue-chip stock in New York and Los Angeles, and its opening price was only seven cents. It was only following the great development of the 1990s that its overall stock price got out of a standard "inverted figure eight" and easily obtained a price of $83 in 2000, an increase of nearly 1,200 times.

"Twenty seconds!"

But now it is slightly different. Not only did the Posacks not release their first router until 1986, but the quality is definitely not as advanced as that of Alice. The product was launched late, and the market expansion speed is far from what it is now. God’s main switch will not be acquired until 1993, not to mention the super hot firewall that appeared in advance in response to the ‘Exchange Gate’.

"Ten seconds!"

Therefore, the advance development of Cisco and the accelerated warm-up of the industry market will inevitably make this listing on December 31, 1987 far surpass Alice's achievements in the 1990s. She has nothing to worry about at all.

"Nine seconds!"

The audience was silent.

"Eight seconds!"

Leonardo Posac was silent, but anyone could see the cold sweat on his forehead.

"Seven seconds!"

Sandy Boss rubbed his hands nervously and almost jumped up.

"Six seconds!"

"Fives!"

"four!"

"three!"

"two!"

"One!"

Suddenly, a series of numbers were displayed.

15.87.

"Fifteen yuan, eight cents and seven cents!"

"Everyone remembers this number for my old lady!"

With the girl's sudden shout, the entire office instantly turned into a noisy ocean. A full seven or eight employees stood directly on the table, shouting like crazy; the female employees had no time to maintain their image, and the girls with their hair were messed up, not to mention the young girls with ponytails.

"congratulations!"

The executives hugged each other in front of the stage. The Bossacks took the lead in hugging each other, and immediately opened their arms to Alice.

"Haha, fifteen dollars, which is higher than Microsoft's original opening price...no, the issue price, haha ​​the issue price!"

If the opening price is a big joke, who doesn't know that Microsoft is the direct cause of the "exchange gate"? The investment company in charge of the IPO set up a high-end issuance price, but it was hacked by the **** IBM to block the up-to-date lively bidding, so that it could only be separated by a pitiful few dollars. How could the case of that year be used for Cisco?

"It will rise, and it will definitely rise again!"

"We are all rich!"

"Long live Alice! Hey, who, how many shares do you hold!?"

"Guys, stop cheering and stare at the screen!"

Under the influence of the caring people's voice, the hilarious sound gradually became much quieter, and everyone stared at the monitor.

Of course it is rising, but the magnitude is not astonishingly high, at least not like Microsoft did when it soared from a few cents.

"Thirty-degree angle." Looking at the curve, Alice nodded with satisfaction: "This pattern is beautiful enough. Let's go up slowly. If the closing price is 20 yuan, our income will be indispensable."

20 yuan is only a 30% increase, and it will certainly be easily achieved. No one doubts this. Unlike Microsoft, which only allocated two million U.S. dollars in stocks at the time of listing, Cisco, which has a monthly profit of five million U.S. dollars, easily sold out 50 million U.S. dollars and divided 10 million shares at an issue price of five yuan.

In other words, even a 30% increase, including today's opening price, will definitely bring the company's market value to 200 million yuan!

Two hundred million...

Just thinking about it is a chilling word. After all, the development of a company is basically calculated in years, and now it is only the first day of opening. With a starting capital of 50 million yuan and a single-day net income of 150 million yuan, you only need to think about it to know how bright the development prospects of Cisco will be even one year later!

"How can it be so high?" So immediately after the excitement, when the calmness gradually returned, Possack first asked questions: "The five-yuan issue price offered to us at the IPO, I still think this amount is too high, After all, we only have three years of development history~www.readwn.com~ but now, the opening price of 15 yuan..."

"Because of the combined effect." Alice looked at the trend chart and said: "Most companies develop step by step normally, but we have encountered many emergencies. For example...exchange gate."

Upon hearing this word, the executives all around laughed.

Because this matter really made a lot of noise.

Of course, IBM has losses, but it knows how many organizations have made profits from it when its stock price is down. But to say who is the biggest beneficiary of this incident, that is really no one except Cisco.

The first is the enhancement of hard power, that is, a large number of companies want to buy its products, and the number of orders is the direct culprit for the company's recruitment of thousands of employees in just three years. Even so, offline manufacturers with limited productivity have to delay the transaction time of many orders. This is a huge, continuous, and long-term profit, and the few pennies Alice obtained from the White House and the Pentagon did not have as much.

Then there is soft propaganda. The impact of Microsoft's listing has naturally made many people pay attention to network security issues. In this context, of course, countless people are looking forward to the vigorous development of Cisco. At the time of the initial IPO valuation, this soft and hard power did not add value to it.

"Thinking about it..." Behind him was the extremely noisy staff talking, but Bosak couldn't help thinking more. His gaze flicked over Alice: "In the beginning..."

"Today, all are off for one day!" With a sudden voice, Alice disrupted Boss's thoughts, and made the long employee happy and quiet: "Knowing that you must have no intention of working today. What do you want to do?"

After that, listening to the laughter of the big guy overturning the ceiling even more, Alice looked back and grinned at Bosak: "You're right?"
