Chapter 447: The cowhide has to be collected and come back to the full moon
On the morning of the 28th, everyone got up early, had breakfast in the hotel restaurant, and then rushed to the nearby Nasdaq Stock Exchange.
Each bell ringer can bring up to 50 people, and all of them have a red flower on their chest. In addition to them, there are also representatives of major shareholders, News Corporation Vice President Gao Qunyao, Gong Li, Fan Binbin, Yuan Quan, Yuan
Li and other actresses.
After passing the security check and entering the trading building lobby, I took a few photos together.
This is also Tang An's first time visiting Nasdaq, although ordinary tourists can also come in.
The interior style is modern and simple, and rows of servers can be seen through the glass. These servers are the heart of Nasdaq.
There wasn't much security equipment, and Tang An couldn't help but think in a wicked way, what would happen if a terrorist organization dropped a bomb on the servers inside.
All the way to the studio hall, there are dozens of cameras of various kinds, making it look like a TV station.
The lobby can still be seen from the outside. The glass wall is transparent, so pedestrians outside can see it.
There is nothing complicated about this bell-ringing ceremony, it is much simpler than in China.
The head of the Nasdaq Market Department's speech was nothing more than a welcome.
Then Yu Dong brought Bernard coo Chen Yong and international superstar Gong Li to the stage to deliver speeches.
"Today, Bernard Film Group was successfully listed on NASDAQ in New York. The history of Chinese film will remember this extraordinary moment.
It is precisely the continuous development of China's economy and culture and the rapid growth of China's film industry that give Bernard the opportunity to stand at a new historical starting point and board the Nasdaq stage.
Thanks to friends from all walks of life who have helped Bernard grow, my colleagues, my family, and my partners. I hope that you will still be able to witness and accompany Bernard in its new glory in the future.
Finally, thank you Nasdaq!"
Used throughout the entire process!
"Pah, pah, pah, pah"
After the brief speech, everyone applauded.
Tang Yan, who was next to Tang An, clapped his hands and turned his head and whispered, "Brother An, this doesn't add up to three or four hundred words, and Yu Dong still has to lower his head to read the manuscript."
Tang An shook his head and smiled, "For him, this moment can be said to be the most important moment in more than ten years. It would be impossible for anyone else not to be excited."
Nasdaq rings the bell every day when the market opens, but how many more people in the world are qualified to ring the opening bell for U.S. stock markets?
Then Chen Yong and Gong Li also said a few words briefly.
"Brother An."
Tang Yan suddenly called him softly again.
"What's wrong?"
Tang Yan turned his head and pointed to a building opposite, where the photos Tang An had just taken were placed.
"That's Reuters. Every time there is a bell-ringing ceremony, photos and news will be scrolled on the wall of the building. There will also be huge photos on the outer wall of the trading building." Tang An explained patiently.
"Wow, there is a photo of me." Tang Yan suddenly said excitedly.
"You can take a photo of it and send it to China and say your posters are all over Times Square in New York." Tang An teased.
"I don't want it. It would be too embarrassing if it was exposed." Tang Yan thought for a while and shook his head.
This kind of situation became very common later on, and it was just bullying domestic fans who didn't understand.
For example, Wu Fan's team later made a big deal about singing in Super Band, saying he was the first Chinese star and so on.
In fact, they just set up a simple stage on the street outside the venue to sing, and the sound was loud.
If you have a little understanding of what level of super watch competition it is, you won’t believe such a clumsy thing. Nowadays, the average advertisement price is almost 300,000 US dollars per second. The people who can sing on that stage are all the world’s top celebrities, including Rihanna.
, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga’s level.
The cowhide should also be blown up a little more decently, so that it can be rounded out, otherwise it will be slapped in the face every minute.
The ceremony in the studio here is almost in progress, and everyone has also gone on stage, crowding around Yu Dong, waving their hands, throwing some confetti and so on.
Then when the time comes, ring the bell on time, but ringing the bell is already the old way of doing things. Now you just need to press a button.
Yu Dong took a deep breath, slowly stretched out his hand, and stared straight at the red button in front of him.
Snap!
Press it hard!
The ceremony is over and the stock market has opened. Bernard Film Group is officially listed on the US stock market, becoming the first domestic film and television stock to be listed on the US stock market.
The wall in front of the studio instantly turned into a giant screen three meters high and seven or eight meters long. Stock information of dozens of companies began to appear on it, and a market analyst was saying something there.
Everyone was staring at the screen displaying Bernard's stock price, which jumped instantly.
The original issue price was US$9.1 per share, with 12 million shares issued and expected to raise US$100 million.
Based on a total share capital of 100 million shares, if today's closing price reaches $9.1, Berner's market value will reach $910 million.
Yudong’s 46% stake is US$418.6 million and RMB 3 billion.
Staring at that screen, the moment the market opened, it didn’t turn red!
The opening did not fall below the issue price, which is a good start.
"yeah!"
Yu Dong waved his hand fiercely!
Tang An also breathed a sigh of relief. Originally, when Bernard was listed, it could fall below the issue price at the opening. Now at least the first step was successful.
"Dong Yu, congratulations."
"Thank you, Mr. Tang." Yu Dong held Tang An's hand and said sincerely.
It can be said that most of the credit for this successful listing must be attributed to "Painted Skin" 1, 2, "Journey to the Road", "囧" and the global hit "Edge of Tomorrow".
Green means growth, red means fall. Although Bernard's stock has not risen significantly, it has been growing.
Twenty minutes later, the stock price rose 4.4%, from $9.1 to $9.50 per share.
Another quarter of an hour passed and it reached +7.7%. An hour after it was listed, it rose to a maximum of $10.00, an increase of 9.9%.
However, this was also the highest peak, and it has remained between US$9.6 and US$9.8 since then.
After being successfully listed, I can finally feel relieved.
After being interviewed by some reporters, everyone left the Nasdaq trading building holding a commemorative photo in a beautiful gift box. When they came out, they saw a report on Bernard on the outer wall of the Reuters building opposite.
The situation of the listing, everyone's photos flashed one by one.
The Nasdaq trading building is also playing the scene of Yu Dong's speech just now.
Back at the hotel, there happened to be two other teams going to the New York Stock Exchange for listing, Youku and Dangdang.
After some conversation, we learned that Youku opened at US$27, peaked at US$37.99, and its market value has stabilized at around US$3.5 billion.
Dangdang currently has become the largest e-commerce platform in China with a market share of 40%, and it has also attracted the peek of Amazon.
Dangdang’s stock price has even doubled from US$13.91 to its peak, with a market value of nearly US$2.4 billion.
The two of them were listed on the New York Stock Exchange, but they still held a grand dinner together in the hotel that night.
