202 Hidden Empire(1/2)
Mary Mick stood on the half-moon viewing platform used to ring the bell on the second floor, looking down at the busy traders like ants in the entire Nasdaq trading hall.
Traders in blue vests shouted "Flash",
"Buy!Buy!Buy!"
“51offer!”
“52!”
“52fo.5M”
“Done!”
“5ffer!”
“Fxxk!”
...
As one of the five market merchants listed on Flash, Morgan Stanley made a lot of money this time.
Mary Mick smiled. If Netscape was first listed and allowed her to ascend the throne to the "Queen of Silicon Valley", then the success of Flash now will make her power higher.
Bai Quinn seems to want to repeat the success of investing in Flash, and hope he can keep his luck.
Marimick feels that it is too late to invest in the angel round now. Next year will be the hottest time for Nasdaq. No one can say it accurately after that, but historical experience tells her that the top of prosperity will inevitably face the fall after the bursting of the bubble.
This has always been like this, sooner or later.
Companies like Flash have not yet achieved profitability and have been praised for a market value of 10 billion with hundreds of millions of users. Are there some inflated prices?
The same is true for eBay. The market value converted from stock price is more than 8 billion, but it does not produce anything by itself!
Mary Mick doesn’t think that these companies are really that valuable, but they were lucky enough to appear in the United States and chose Nasdaq for a series of external reasons that make them popular.
The United States is the most developed country with network construction and has the largest number of Internet users. The advantages of Internet pioneers are self-evident.
The Telecommunications Act has stimulated further network construction, and some companies have begun to study the next generation of networks, with a speed of 1M, which further boosts the prospects of Internet companies.
Imagine how amazing the information exchange speed will be with a 1M network speed, and perhaps "digital survival" will become a reality.
When Mary Mick first entered the industry, almost all transactions were completed in the hall, and traders answered calls, shouted prices, and completed transactions.
Later, Nasdaq launched a specific computer network "electronic trading systems" (ECNs), which not only allows direct trading with designated stock market operators on the computer network, but also further allows direct trading between investors.
Nasdaq has finally achieved synchronous trading in the global markets and New York, which has also enabled the US dollar flowing to the world to flow back to the United States at a faster rate.
In recent years, a series of policy adjustments by the stock market management institutions have made transactions more convenient and cost less.
More than ten years ago, buying and selling stocks basically had to be achieved through brokers. Each transaction was based on the number of buying and selling stocks, and the commission was as small as a few dozen dollars, or even one or two hundred dollars.
But now the cheapest online trading agency usually only spends $5 to trade stocks, and may even be even lower if you encounter a discount.
Due to the huge reduction in transaction fees or costs, the entire stock market has also stimulated more active trading, and some small amounts of funds that originally did not invest in the stock market have gradually flowed into the Nasdaq.
In the position of Mary Mick, she can also see higher-level capital flows. She knows that funds from East Asia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and old rival Europe are all flocking to Nasdaq, and then through companies like Flash, they can scatter into all walks of life in the United States, nourishing the fertile land of the United States.
Thinking of this, Mary Mick couldn't help but hum "GodBlessAme" (GodBlessAme).
But Bai Quinn, who was standing under the half-moon bell ringing stage, was playing another song.
Iu color dto breasts
color as would sun color when Igavetheword
Nowinthe touching Isleepalone
Sweepthestreet private color dtoown
I was the master of the world
With a command, the sea bowed its knees and bowed
Now, I am still drunk and dreaming in the morning
Wandering alone in the streets that once belonged to me
At that time, the enemy's life and death were only in my mind
Taste the fear in his eyes
I have also experienced sings by fools
"The old king has passed away, and the new king has forever!"
At that time, the scepter was still shaking hands
But it was locked by the high wall in a flash
Then I suddenly realized
The foundation of that castle
It's just a samsen salt column
IhearJe breasts salembellsa daily
RanCavalryhoiare private
Bemy fans errormysword, myshield
My fans private ona day e private naforeignfield

ThatwaswhenI breast ledtheworld
Listen to the bells of Jerusalem
Roman cavalry singing shakes the mountains and seas
"My sword and shield are bright and visible!"
But for some reasons, I can't let go
Since you left,
The unpleasant words no longer exist
And this is the era of my rule
...
"VivalaVida", Spanish: Long live your life, this time Bai Quinn learned the name of the song.
Although he was singing a desolate and sad history, the style of the music seemed extremely cheerful and exciting like a marche. He used string music extensively like European Gothic rock. The drums did not seem to be traditional jazz drums, but snare drums with deeper drums.
It was clearly a good song, but Bai Quinn looked up and saw the Flash stock price that was already $55, and then savored the lyrics carefully, and suddenly felt a thorn in his back.
This is not a good sign!
As soon as the idea came, the trading price displayed on the electronic screen immediately stopped and continued to rise. After staying at $55 for a minute, it showed its first decline.
54.5!
54!
...
"hiss……"
A Flash executive behind him covered his chest and leaned against the pillar next to him.
This immediately caused panic among the small groups, including first aid, water feeding, and even call ambulances.
Bai Quinn didn't know this person. He was either inserted in the time of Microsoft's investment or Time Warner's relationship account. These latecomers only had hundreds of thousands of shares at hand. I didn't do anything about 17% of the shares of Flash. Why did you faint first?
The subsequent plot is downward, stable, slightly upward, downward, stable, and slightly upward...
The tug-of-war between bulls and bears continued until the close, and Flash's stock price was finally finalized at $43.
...
The carnival on the first day of listing ended, and the dull days have to continue.
Rehearsing songs, pledging shares, arranging work for two private equity funds, and secretly meeting Liv Taylor and Eva Green, Bai Quinn's two weeks stay in New York was plain and mediocre.
Then he flew to the West Coast, got off the plane and went directly to Burbank, the headquarters of Wademark Image.
"Thank you, Lina!"
Bai Quinn found that his chair had been replaced with "Aeron" office chair, so he thanked Jingzhi and Jingru's assistant.
The appearance seems to be more advanced than the Flash model, probably the new model, so it feels much more comfortable to sit on.
As soon as his butt was settled, Chris rushed over from the next door, and the others left tactfully, leaving private space for the two bosses.
Chris started complaining as soon as he came, "I have received three waves of Chinese people during this period!"
Bai Quinn thought he was going to talk about Mr. Victor's film investment fund, but unexpectedly it was irrelevant.
To be continued...
