On Wall Street, in the trading hall of the New York Stock Exchange, cleaning staff are cleaning, and on several screens on the wall, a promotional video for "huxi", a new stock that will be listed today, is being played in a loop.
In the surrounding seats, there are already many investors holding laptops and typing on the keyboard in the hall, waiting for the morning market to come.
In the morning market, the opening time is usually after nine-thirty, but Li Qing and others have arrived at the New York Stock Exchange at six or seven in the morning.
At this time, the autumn and winter days are just getting bright.
It was basically the first time for Li Qing and others to come to Wall Street, and they already had faith in this world-famous financial street.
Among them, Li Qing and Zhou were relatively calm, but Jia Cunrui was already excited, holding the camera and looking for people to take photos with, hoping that his figure would be permanently fixed in a corner of Wall Street.
When he arrived, facing Baidu News, Legendary Pictures and other colleagues under the group, Jia Cunrui was full of glory.
Although he knows that in the near future, the companies run by these colleagues will more or less follow the path he is on now, or even go higher than himself, but at least for now, he is the most eye-catching person in the entire group.
Although Jia Cunrui always believes that he is only an actor rather than a decision-maker, at least people inside and outside the industry believe that he single-handedly created "Legend of Hot Blood" and pushed Phantom Technology to the New York Stock Exchange.
Therefore, the entire company is dissatisfied with the fact that Jia Cunrui holds less than 1% of the shares of Phantom Technology.
But only Ke Zhenhui and others from Baidu Net News knew that Jia Cunrui was able to obtain such shares because the big boss was extravagantly merciful, because Jia Cunrui only participated in the development and operation of Phantom Technology.
That’s all, because whether it’s Baidu Netcom or Phantom Technology, the original initiator and founder is always the big boss.
Without the big boss, there would be no future for Phantom Technology and no 0.7% share of Jia Cunrui.
And even 0.7% of the shares can provide Jia Cunrui with a net worth of hundreds of millions after the company is listed.
Jia Cunrui is contented, so he can happily take photos all over Wall Street with his SLR camera.
Even on Wall Street, the listing of China's new stock Phantom Technology was very sensational.
After seven o'clock, many investors entered the exchange one after another, most of whom were representatives of investment institutions.
Of course, there are also many retail investors among them.
In addition to wanting to get to know the executives of Phantom Technology in advance and take photos together, the most important thing these people want to do is prepare to participate in the morning market.
Regardless of whether it is domestic or foreign, there is a morning market period before the exchange opens.
The market opening time is generally fifteen minutes before the market opens.
During this period, institutions and retail investors can place orders, buy, or sell according to their own wishes. At this time, all the order prices fall within the opening inquiry range.
The so-called inquiry range refers to the upper and lower limits of investors' subscription prices when stocks are issued.
Unlike other securities, the inquiry process of the New York Stock Exchange is manual rather than computer-operated, so related movies often show traders calling in and shouting quotes.
This process can be long or short. In the short term, the battle can even end within half an hour. In this case, the EO and core executives of the listed company will usually be staring at the counter of the designated market maker, and then the underwriters will contact the designated market maker.
The market maker decides when to ring the bell.
The opening time of U.S. stocks is divided into summer and winter time. It is currently December, which belongs to winter time, so the opening time is one hour later than daylight saving time, that is, around 10:30.
But this time is not fixed, and the inquiry ranges of some large IPO companies usually experience significant delays.
For example, when Alibaba was listed in a previous life, the inquiry period was extended for more than three hours. Not only the first floor, but also the second floor was full of people. Countless people watched the excitement on Wall Street and lined the streets.
Compared with some new stocks whose inquiry range is only more than ten minutes, new stocks like Alibaba are simply giants.
As time goes by, more and more media and investors come to the stock exchange.
Soon, the entire trading floor was overcrowded.
This is a scene that is not seen when many new stocks are listed. Li Qing has only seen similar grand scenes when Alibaba went public in his previous life.
But after all, it was one of the largest IPOs in history, and Phantom Technology naturally cannot compare.
So judging from the current situation, among the investors who came to the scene because of Li Qing's popularity, there were a large number of personal fans of Li Qing. These people came purely to pay homage to their idol.
The media were naturally aware of this, but they did not expose the illusion. Instead, they immediately broadcast the grand scene. This made many outsiders think that the illusion was about to soar into the sky. The staff of the New York Stock Exchange were accustomed to this.
After all, many listed companies in history have involved Hollywood superstars. Of course, Leesin is the only one who has a company listed under his name.
Before the market opened, Li Qing and others also chatted with some Wall Street investment institutions in the trading hall.
Li Qing's conversation and age surprised these Wall Street tycoons. Many people rushed forward to shake hands with Li Qing, hoping to benefit from the wealth of this upstart in the business world.
After more than an hour, finally, the market opening time arrived.
The traders of the designated market maker knew that there were new stocks listed today, and they also knew that there were many Wall Street tycoons waiting for inquiries, so they made serious preparations.
Five minutes later, the trader immediately shouted out the inquiry range, "huxi, 14, 17."
As soon as the trader finished speaking, the inquiry range of Phantom Technology was displayed on the screen of the trading floor.
The minimum inquiry range is $14 and the maximum is $18, which is a full three dollars higher than the list price!
There was a round of applause.
When Li Qing and others saw this, they also became energetic.
The inquiry range was quickly displayed on the screen in the trading floor. For a time, hundreds of people were whispering to each other, and there was a buzz of discussion everywhere.
After another five minutes, the trader of the designated market maker called out the inquiry range again, "16,19."
There was applause again.
"Congratulations!"
Several investment institutions from Asia stood beside Li Qing, bowed their hands to Li Qing and said congratulations.
The minimum inquiry range is five dollars higher than the prospectus price. For a new stock, this means that Li Qing's net worth has increased by several hundred million out of thin air.
Li Qing, together with the head of the underwriter Lang Runzhu and others, came to the market maker's screen to check the final inquiry range and decide on the final opening price.
At this time, someone said: "Ah Qing, congratulations, this time Phantom's new shares are listed, it seems that the market will open sharply!"
Hearing this voice, Li Qing looked back and saw Han Jiayou, Wang Yong and others walking towards him.
Li Qing was a little surprised, but still smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay."
Han Jiayou smiled and was about to continue saying something. At this time, one of the underwriters, Cozmo Meredith, the head of UBS Investment, came to Li Qing and invited Li Qing to come to the stage to give his final speech before the opening.
Ring the bell for listing.
At this time, the trader called out the third inquiry range, "17, 20."
Li Qing raised his hand and looked at the time, 10:28.
There are still two minutes left before the normal opening time, but there are new stocks listed today, so it is not uncommon to delay the opening for a while.
In the end, after carefully checking the inquiry range and through negotiation, the opening price of Phantom Technology was set at US$17.2.
At the same time, Li Qing, Zhou, Jia Cunrui and others also began to walk up to the bell ringing platform.
The first person to speak on stage was Jia Cunrui from Phantom Technology EO.
Standing on the high platform, looking at the countless foreign faces below, Jia Cunrui took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Today, it is my honor to be able to participate and witness this moment. Thank you to the users and investors for their trust.
I hope we can remember our mission and our responsibilities and continue to move forward. Please witness and remember this moment together."
Later, Zhou Ye, vice chairman of the board of directors of Phantom Technology, took the stage to speak: "Hello friends, today is a very unusual day, because today we set aside time in New York to contribute to investors and shareholders, but in fact it is just one day. As for other things,
During the 364 days, we will spend more time cultivating new customers and maintaining old customers."
Finally, Li Qing concluded: "Today is a very milestone day. In fact, I want to say a lot, but when it comes to the end, I don't know where to start. At this moment, my heart is full of gratitude and gratitude.
Thank you all, let us all work together to create a new future for the future."
There is a bell-ringing ceremony for the listing of new stocks, but of course this is not a real bell-ringing, it is mainly electronically ringing in the background.
The entire bell-ringing platform is very small, and it can only accommodate seven or eight people without looking crowded. Under normal circumstances, the background board of the bell-ringing platform is usually the American flag, but Li Qing was very disgusted with this, so the background board was finally
It was replaced with the brand logo of Phantom Technology.
When Li Qing, Zhou, Jia Cunrui and others walked up to the bell-ringing platform and waved to the people in the audience, the scene suddenly burst into warm applause.
Then, the entire trading hall suddenly rang a rapid bell.
"Dong dong dong"
The ringing of the bell heralds the stock exchange’s first opening today, and also heralds the official listing and trading of Phantom Technology.
After seeing the opening price of Phantom Technology, many people smiled, and some domestic media reporters also became excited.
The opening price of Phantom US stocks was US$17.2, with the stock code "huxi", which was US$6.2 more than the issue price of US$11, and the opening price surged 56.3%!
Many investment institutions and retail investors at the scene quickly stood behind the traders of the market makers, stared at the screen and began to observe the rising and falling trends of stocks, so as to conduct stock transactions at any time.
The analysts on the trading floor were all busy explaining the new stocks listed today to many onlookers.
As for Li Qing and others, they were intercepted by TV reporters from various countries and regions and conducted various interviews.
