In this world, almost everyone who pays close attention to the "new economy" is aware of the Nasdaq Composite Index, an average index of stock prices that reflects changes in the Nasdaq stock market. And in Nasdaq Securities
The companies listed on the market can be said to cover all new technology industries in the world, including computers, software, telecommunications technology, biotechnology, Internet technology, etc. These include companies such as Microsoft, Intel, AOL, and Yahoo in developed countries.
They are well-known high-tech companies in the country, so to a certain extent, changes in the Nasdaq Composite Index have become synonymous with the development of the "new economy" in the United States, and are closely watched by investors around the world.
In the early 1990s, when the Internet boom had not yet taken off, the Nasdaq Composite Index only had a little over 500 points. It was not until the middle of 1995 that the Nasdaq Composite Index rose to one point.
Thousand points, this is a milestone number for the Nasdaq Composite Index. Starting from this year, the new economic wave with the Internet as its core began to emerge in the world economic market. By 1997
In the middle of the year, in almost two years, the Nasdaq Composite Index reached 1,500 points, which was nearly three-fifths shorter than the time it took to reach 500 points to 1,000 points.
And by the middle of 1998, that is, one year later, the Nasdaq Composite Index exceeded 2,000 points, and the time was once again shortened by half! And by the beginning of 1999, that is, half a year
At that time, the Nasdaq Composite Index once again rose by 500 points and exceeded 2,500 points.
The crazy rise of the Nasdaq Composite Index has made countless investors who invested in new economy high-tech companies make a lot of money. And the founders of those high-tech companies have created in front of the whole world.
A myth of sudden wealth.
The Yahoo search website was founded by Jerry Yang in 1993. Last year, in 1998, the total revenue just exceeded 200 million US dollars, and the total profit was only over 25 million US dollars. But it is in the stock market
The market value of the company is close to 378 billion U.S. dollars! It exceeds the American Boeing Company!
The American Boeing Company, founded in mid-1917, has existed for 82 years now. In 1997, it merged with the former McDonnell Douglas Company, which was the largest military aircraft manufacturer in the United States.
After the aircraft manufacturer, it is now the world's leading civilian aircraft manufacturer and a global market leader in military aircraft, satellites, missile production and missile defense, human space flight and launch vehicle launches. It is also the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration
The main service provider of the space agency, it operates the U.S. space shuttle and the International Space Station. Boeing's fleet can be said to be all over the world, with more than tens of thousands of aircraft "in service" with airlines around the world, accounting for the global civil passenger aircraft market
Nearly three-quarters of the total. It employs up to 160,000 people.
In 1998, Boeing's total revenue was more than 49 billion U.S. dollars, and its profits exceeded 1.5 billion U.S. dollars. However, its market value is not as good as Yahoo!
Moreover, Yahoo is not the only Nasdaq-listed company with a serious disconnect between market value, turnover, and profit margins. Another example is Amazon.com, which was born in 1994. It was listed in 1997, and by 1999
In 2008, it became the third largest book seller in the world, and its stock price soared from US$19 when it was listed to US$414, creating a myth of sudden wealth! At that time, its income was only a mere US$3.
More than 100 million US dollars, but the profit is only 10 million US dollars.
There is also Netscape, a new company established in 1994. Just because its browser once ranked first in the browser market share, by 1998, even with Microsoft's Internet Explorer
It failed in the competition and was valued at US$4.4 billion when it was acquired by AOL!
There were many companies similar to Yahoo, Netscape, and Amazon at that time. Both the investors of the company and the first batch of buyers when the company went public all became rich overnight because of the new economic wave!
In this way, the new economy makes mankind's dream of getting rich come true. The myth of "quick wealth" created by the Internet has attracted countless latecomers to follow.
At that time, the sustainability of this development model was not unquestioned, but the world generally believed that the increasing number of global Internet users determined that these companies would have unlimited space for subsequent development.
Therefore, at the end of the century, companies that wanted to go public were racking their brains to think of every way to connect themselves to the Internet. As long as a company was considered by investors to be related to the Internet, no matter what the company's
No matter what its main business is, what its turnover is, what its profit margin is, even if it loses money, its stock price will skyrocket!
Since entering the second half of 1999, the Nasdaq Index in the United States has continued to rise. Before Fang Mingyuan came to Japan, the Nasdaq Composite Index exceeded 3,000 points!
"Mingyuan, are you sure you are serious?" Sister Lin Lian opened her eyes wide in surprise and looked at Fang Mingyuan in disbelief.
Just now, Fang Mingyuan actually told them that from now on, he will gradually release shares for the companies in his hands that have been listed on the Nasdaq stock market and look for new companies to take over. And in February next year, Nasdaq
Before the composite index exceeds 4,500 points, all stocks except for a few companies such as Microsoft and Intel must be cleared. Moreover, even for companies like Microsoft and Intel, the remaining stocks are only a fraction of Fang Mingyuan's original shares.
part.
"Of course I'm serious!" Fang Mingyuan said sternly. If he hadn't been the third largest individual shareholder of Microsoft, the sixth largest individual shareholder of Intel, and the fourth largest individual shareholder of Oracle... he would have to consider a large-scale sale.
The shares in his hands will bring great trouble to these companies, require some cumbersome procedures, and easily attract the attention of others, and he also needs to maintain a certain degree of influence in these companies. He will definitely be
These shares are also sold wherever possible.
"Why?" Lin Lian exclaimed in confusion. Since the mid-1990s, through the efforts of Aso Xiangyue and Lin Lian, the Fang family has invested in many emerging American companies through more than ten different investment companies.
Internet companies such as Yahoo, Amazon and Netscape. The Fang family held no less than 30% of the shares in the names of several companies. In 1998, when Netscape was acquired by America Online
, the Fang family obtained an income of up to 1.5 billion U.S. dollars from it. Their initial investment was only more than 23 million U.S. dollars. Now the stock prices of these Internet companies on the Nasdaq stock market are rising steadily.
At that time, Fang Mingyuan actually requested to gradually release the shares! This was a decision related to huge asset returns.
"Mingyuan, is the Internet bubble you mentioned coming?" Lin Rong remembered. She had heard Fang Mingyuan mention the Internet bubble crisis before.
"Don't you think that the current rise of the Nasdaq Composite Index is completely out of touch with the actual economic development? Internet companies have been listed for several years, but they are still burning money and cannot meet their income and expenses.
Balance, let alone profitability. For these companies that have been listed for several years and still cannot create real economic value, don’t you think that if there is any trouble, they will be the first to fall!" Fang Mingyuan asked rhetorically.
"However, it is only 3,000 points now, which is still 1,500 points away from the 4,500 points you mentioned. And from now to February next year, there are only more than three months... Mingyuan,
You mean, by February next year, the Nasdaq Composite Index may exceed 4,500 points?" Lin Lian covered her mouth with her hands in surprise. At this moment, she was also struck by her own
The thought scared me.
It took seven or eight years for the Nasdaq Composite Index to rise from 500 points in the early 1990s to 2,000 points. And it took almost a year and a half to rise from 2,000 points to 3,000 points.
If, as Fang Mingyuan said, it only takes more than three months to rise from 3,000 points to 4,500 points, such a large increase can only be described as crazy.
Described!
"If God wants to destroy it, he must first make it crazy!" Lin Rong murmured. With such a crazy rise, it would be strange if nothing happened.
Fang Mingyuan smiled and said: "But you two don't have to be so nervous. The Nasdaq Composite Index is still only 3,000 points. I only predict that there will be a fierce rising wave in the next few months.
, we are just planning ahead, we still have enough time to sell these shares. Besides, even if we sell these shares now, for us, the income will be very generous, and it is also a harvest season worth celebrating. You still have
What is there to be upset about?"
At the beginning, the total investment he made in these emerging Internet companies was only hundreds of millions of dollars, but now, just one Netscape company has allowed him to recover all investment costs, and there are also very generous returns. In other words
In other words, everything you get from selling your shares from now on will be your own income!
"Are people's hearts always lacking? Who doesn't want to make more money? Why is it so strange for us sisters to think this way?" Lin Lian said lightly, "We are just two ordinary little women, how can we be as open-minded as you, Mr. Fang?"
vision!"
"Mingyuan, what about the domestic Internet companies, do we have to exit early?" Lin Rong shouted softly. The rise of the Nasdaq Composite Index naturally also affected China's domestic high-tech trend.
Although its influence in China is far less than that in developed countries in Europe and the United States, some Internet companies have also emerged in China.
"Forget about the domestic ones, we are not bad at this. Large-scale capital inflows and outflows will have a serious impact on their operations. Rongrong, not only can we not withdraw, we must also increase capital investment in several companies!
"Fang Mingyuan named several domestic Internet companies, and Lin Rong carefully wrote them down one by one.
With the huge profits on the Nasdaq stock market, this domestic Internet company can only be said to be two or three kittens and puppies, and has not grown up at all. The little money it has lost, for Fang Mingyuan
, there is no pressure at all. On the contrary, considering their future development prospects, Fang Mingyuan wants to increase investment in them! If you cannot master traditional media public opinion, then mastering online public opinion will undoubtedly open up a new front. Take advantage of it.
Traditional media have not yet truly realized the importance of online public opinion!
"Mingyuan, if an avalanche occurs on the Nasdaq Composite Index, will it have a serious impact on the real economy?" Lin Lian pondered for a moment and asked solemnly. The world-wide financial crisis has just passed.
The economies of various countries are in the process of recovery. If there is another crisis in the Nasdaq stock market, will it affect the recovery of the world economy? This is a major event related to the future development plans of many of my companies.
Fang Mingyuan shook his head slightly and said: "I personally think that in addition to the huge impact on Internet companies, which may cause a large number of companies to go bankrupt, there will be an impact on other real economies, but it will not be as you think.
So big! Moreover, it has a relatively large impact on developed countries in Europe and the United States, especially the United States, but has a limited impact on the economic development of other countries. However, Sister Lian, although the Internet economy will suffer a heavy setback, it is still an important direction for future economic development.
, we must still pay attention to those companies that have survived this storm, and acquire their equity when the time is right."
"Yes!" Lin Lian nodded in agreement.
Fang Mingyuan turned his attention to the outdoor Tokyo Bay, extending to the east. The bursting of the Internet bubble in the United States was a severe impact on China's IT industry, and it was also a rare opportunity. More than three trillion US dollars
Investments were wiped out in the stock market, and the impact on the new economy of the United States was far greater than before. A large number of high-tech talents had to join the unemployed army, and if they could be properly guided at this time, even if they could not
It is very possible to attract IT talents from the United States, but to guide Chinese students who have stayed in the United States over the years to return to China.
Moreover, some industries in the United States have also moved to Asian countries as a result. For example, Motorola will close its two fabs in the United States, and the fab construction agreement reached between itself and Samsung Group will also be implemented as a result.
.If proper guidance can be obtained during this period, China's IT industry, semiconductor industry, and biological industry may all achieve a leapfrog development.
Although he said that he had already asked people to start doing this a year ago, it is hard to say how effective it will be in the end. (To be continued.)
