Rebirth Capital Entertainment

Chapter 52: Google is officially listed

Just as Kaos planned, although Wall Street capital was very unhappy with Google's bid for the IPO, after calculating the possible profits, they still chose profit.

This made Google's IPO bidding very successful. The entire Google company's shares were divided into about 150 million shares. The final price per share after the auction was $108. A total of 30 million A shares were divided to raise funds for Google again.

US$3.24 billion

This has shown that Wall Street brokers believe that Google is worth around US$16.2 billion. It also means that this time Google can officially meet the requirements for listing on Nasdaq.

January 12, 1999

Tuesday

In front of the Nasdaq headquarters in Library Plaza on Broadway in Manhattan, New York, major American media companies appear here, as well as France, the United Kingdom, Canada... there are more than 20 in sight.

National news agency logo.

Even people from China came, which was a rare and famous scene.

Although dozens or hundreds of companies are listed on Nasdaq every year, they are far from being compared with behemoths like Google. However, the pre-IPO valuation has already reached a market value of 16.2 billion. If there is no accident today,

Then it is likely that the market value will rise to 20 billion.

This will become the first behemoth listed on Nasdaq in recent years.

For this reason, the senior managers of Nasdaq were waiting in front of the door early.

As several Mercedes-Benz cars stopped at the door, more than a dozen black-clad bodyguards escorted Kaos, Lin Yifei, and Carson out of the cars and walked into the exchange.

The reporters who had been waiting outside for a long time were like hungry wolves after smelling the smell of blood. Hundreds of them swarmed around!

In order to grab a good position, she had to sprint at a speed of 100 meters. The beautiful host did not care about elegance and trotted while holding up her skirt regardless of her image.

Within a few seconds, Kaos and his party were surrounded.

Some people came late and couldn't be interviewed from the front, even from behind! As long as you can hear what he said clearly! The microphone kept talking towards the door of Kaos.

"Hello, do you have an expectation as to what Google's stock price will eventually reach today?"

"As the youngest successful entrepreneur in the world, do you have any secrets that you can tell your friends in front of the TV?"

"Excuse me...."

These reporters surrounded him and kept asking all kinds of weird questions, which slowed down Kaos' progress. This made him a little annoyed, but he couldn't say it out loud.

It wasn't until the security guards from the Nasdaq exchange came out and cooperated with the bodyguards around Kaos to separate the reporters that Kaos successfully entered the hall of the exchange.

“Is everyone here just to go public on Google?”

After letting Lin Yifei go in first, Kaos and Carson stayed behind to face reporters.

"Let me start by saying that my expectations for Google have always been very high, and I believe that in the future, people will be inseparable from Google search in their lives.

Naturally, I believe that Google's market value will exceed people's belief, maybe 50 to 60 billion, maybe hundreds of billions, and more likely to reach trillions one day."

Kaos spoke in a very solemn tone, especially when he talked about trillions, as if it was something that would happen tomorrow. Many reporters at the scene fell silent for a while, but then they broke out again.

There was an even louder noise, and they were frantically trying to squeeze into Kaos' side to make him confirm again whether what he said was a joke.

But at this time, Kaos ignored the other party and turned around and entered the exchange with Carson.

"Haha, I can already see the headlines in tomorrow's newspaper."

Carson followed Kaos and said happily with a smile.

"Ha...I'm afraid there will be more things to laugh at my arrogance."

So far, there is no company in the world with a market capitalization of over one trillion, and even 500 billion has never been seen. However, Kaos is in front of reporters from all over the world, promoting that his Google will break things in the future. Although this is huge

Earned eyeballs.

But it is inevitable that many people will laugh at his ignorance and arrogance. But Kaos believes that the media will like his performance just now. In addition to performance, a listed company's reputation is also a very important thing. As long as today's stock performance is enough

If you are excellent, you will be more popular in the future.

And as long as you do some research, you will understand that it took less than a year and a half for Kaos to bring Google to a market value of tens of billions of dollars. Such a legendary experience will also make many people think about Kaos.

Osman's talents were trusted and he pursued Google.

You must know that in the previous life, Papa Ma was sought after by people after he was listed on the NASDAQ. Although he was well-known before, he was not nationally famous. And the various high-profile speeches he made after that actually served as a spokesperson.

When he is in the spotlight, he is also giving investors confidence, and Alibaba's stocks are constantly being sought after by people.

Now Kaos wants to achieve this.

When the time reached half past nine, Kaos, Lin Yifei and Carson rang the bronze bell in the hall. At the same time, as the stock market started, Google's stock was officially registered on the Nasdaq.

g system.

At the same time, the historical moment when Kaos, Lin Yifei and Carson rang the bell was also recorded by cameras that had been prepared long ago.

There are a total of 150 million shares, of which only 15 million are B shares. They are all in the hands of Kaos. Naturally, they do not need too much attention. The remaining 135 million A shares are the protagonists today.

"A sell order has appeared, 200,000 shares, $113 per share."

"Buy, quick."

"Another 100,000 shares appeared, priced at $116."

As the first batch of sell orders appeared and someone quickly scanned the orders, Google's stock transactions began to flow on Nasdaq one after another, and the stock price quickly rose step by step.

The scene inside the exchange was very lively, with traders and securities dealers busy.

When the market closed in the morning, Google's stock price was officially fixed at US$125, and its market value reached US$18.75 billion.

"Congratulations to little rich lady Sissi, you are now worth 84 million US dollars."

Kaos was very excited when he saw that all the plans were going smoothly. Compared to Sissi's 672,000 shares, Kaos owned 60.48 million shares, with a total value of US$7.56 billion.

With this net worth, Kaos is expected to directly enter the top 100 of Forbes' global rankings this year.

"Um..."

Seeing Kaos' excited look, Lin Yifei looked as if she hadn't woken up yet. She looked at the busy staff everywhere, breathed a little, and then spoke lightly.

She comes from a good background, and although she still spends money, she can basically be satisfied. She no longer has that special need and excitement for too much money. Instead, she doesn't feel cold to a group of people.

The computer was busy for almost a whole morning, which made Lin Yifei feel a little bored and wanted to sleep.

Maybe she won't be able to feel the excitement about money until she gets older.

"Uh...you..."

Kaos was originally in a very excited mood, but with Lin Yifei's somewhat bored expression, it seemed that he was about to lower his head and fall asleep in the next second. It was as if he had been splashed with cold water, and he woke up inside and out.

Some angry hands rubbed Lin Yifei's hair.

"Ah...brother..."

Lin Yifei quickly woke up under Kaos's actions, shouted angrily and rushed towards Kaos, and the two of them started a quarrel in the VIP room of Nasdaq.

Next to him, Carson stared blankly at the computer in front of him, giggling as if he was imagining how to enjoy the society of the rich next.
