The private jet was on a long-distance flight across the North American continent. The cabin was quiet, and pleasant snoring could be heard from the back cabin. Most people had fallen into a sweet dream.
They were really tired, after the plane landed.
Everyone must be fully engaged in new business talks and participate in meetings that seem to never end. One after another, questions that have been said hundreds of times are mechanically repeated.
Halfway through the roadshow, Goldman Sachs was excited about the huge success that had been compiled into reports.
According to the current statistics on the equity subscription table, in the Western United States alone, a large number of fund managers voted in favor, and the oversubscription reached seven times.
what does that mean?
If the major economic centers in the eastern region and the northern region can still do so smoothly, including Portland, Boston, New Haven, New Jersey, New York, Miami, Philadelphia, Chicago, Houston, etc., they will still be able to receive enthusiastic support from fund managers.
Then, it is possible to achieve an oversubscription of more than 20 times.
As an investment bank that guides IPOs, Goldman Sachs can increase the issuance price per share, which means a large amount of US dollars rolling in, making you smile while you sleep.
So, all the hard work is worth it.
For the green and beautiful knife... fight!
Netscape's IPO road show led to the expansion of the U.S. information industry bubble, and investors flocked in to jointly inflate this emerging high-tech software concept stock.
In the second, third and fourth quarter reports of 2092, Netscape's operating performance soared rapidly, showing a steep upward curve. The profit prospects are good and it has entered a healthy operating state.
The profit in the second quarter report was US$1.32 million, the profit in the third quarter report was US$2.06 million, and the profit in the fourth quarter report was US$4.17 million, showing new profit points for high-tech software companies, which is especially exciting for investors.
Entering 2093, the latest version of Navigator Browser 2.0 has a starting price of US$12 and a mass shipment price of US$8.8, an increase of 150% and 160% respectively over version 1.0, showing strong development potential.
It is completely expected that Netscape will usher in a round of explosive growth, its profitability will also rise step by step, and it will become a shining star in the software industry.
No one knows that all these gleaming reports are completely deliberate by the young founder Wang Yaocheng.
It is not something that ordinary young entrepreneurs can do to suppress the urge to make huge profits and make it more beautiful on the financial statements.
It just so happens that Wang Yaocheng's young appearance has a big heart that has been through many hardships, and he can cater to the preferences of technology-oriented fund managers and produce a dazzling and beautiful report.
It's very simple to do. Just limit the number of Navigator browser software sold each month and increase sales month by month, and beautiful data will naturally appear.
In this browser software market, Netscape dominates the market and has no competitors at all.
Browser software sales are booming, and they often run out of stock in the second half of the month. There is no problem of promotion. There are 35 million new desktop PCs added a year. This is a market that completely takes what you want.
The initial price was 5.5 US dollars per portion and the sales price was 8 US dollars per portion. This was just to increase the price continuously for the browser version 2.0 launched in 1993 and the 3.0 version launched in 1994 to earn more beautiful reports.
For Wang Yaocheng, Netscape was a one-time deal that would only last a few years.
Naturally, he wants to make the financial statements better. Wang Yaocheng does not value the company's small profits. It is only ten to twenty million US dollars per year at best. No matter how much it is, it is limited.
What he values more is the money from selling his body. If he can sell it for a good price, it can easily be hundreds of millions of dollars, which is really big money.
Inside the cabin
Under the soft and dim light, Elizabeth Helen looked at Wang Yaocheng's young face in trance.
This tall Asian young man has a chiseled face, black eyes, and black hair. He smiles with white teeth and looks very sunny.
What is incredible is that an Asian young man with an ordinary appearance actually created a business empire with his bare hands and made countless wealth.
A man is not attractive just because he is beautiful, that is called a sissy.
The unique charm displayed by successful men, in addition to being full of self-confidence, is blessed with a dazzling aura of money, which often makes women intoxicated.
Elizabeth sat quietly on the chair next to Wang Yaocheng, and involuntarily stretched out her slender fingers to touch this young face.
The skin feels delicate to the touch, um... it feels pretty good.
There is no thick hair like European and American people, and the face looks very clean, with fine hair that has not completely faded away, well...
There is also a pimple on the cheek, which feels hard and raised, showing the energetic physical characteristics of a 20-year-old young man, which is very interesting.
After spending more than ten days together, Elizabeth had a very good impression of Wang Yaocheng, his smile was very clean and pure, and he had a respect for women from the bottom of his heart, rather than superficially.
There is no ostentatious display like that of the old black nouveau riche, with a big gold chain as thick as a finger hanging around his neck, a gold Rolex, and the tacky money smell that can be smelled from three streets away.
There is no sanctimonious pretentiousness like that of white elites, and they are all miserable in private.
Therefore, Elizabeth is ready to hook up with Wang Yaocheng, a rich and handsome man.
His slender fingers brushed across his red lips. Suddenly, Wang Yaocheng opened his mouth and bit his finger gently. This sudden change made Elizabeth scream in a low voice.
"Oh...oh buy it!"
Taking Elizabeth's somewhat cold fingers into his mouth, Wang Yaocheng opened his eyes with a half-smile and said, "I discovered that you have evil intentions towards me."
"Uh-huh...that's right."
"Admit it?"
"Of course, you are not only rich, but you are also tall and handsome. The most important thing is that you are young and delicious. Why should I let you go?"
Well……
All right!
Never forget that Elizabeth is a passionate girl with South American blood, coming from the wild and unrestrained Rio de Janeiro. The naked expression of love is almost instinctive.
"Come on! Lie in my arms and sleep better this way."
"uh-huh!"
Elizabeth did not act coy, she meekly lay in Wang Yaocheng's arms, and let him gently hold her in his arms as she fell asleep...
More than ten days passed in a hurry, and the IPO roadshow team went from one city to another without stopping every day, repeating introductions thousands of times, answering questions hundreds of times, and repeating stiff smiles.
February 11, New York, the last stop of the listing road show.
Located in the Empire State Building on Fifth Avenue in New York City, the 26th floor grand conference hall
"Hello, gentlemen, ladies, fellow bankers!
Today, we are very honored to invite Mr. Wang, Chairman and President of Netscape, to introduce to us an exciting high-tech software company, a dazzling rising star in Silicon Valley, and a great innovative company with epoch-making significance;
Net...scenery..."
The Goldman Sachs banker who hosted the cocktail party spoke in a long tone, as if he was introducing the basketball god Jordan to the NBA arena. The microphone buzzed to the maximum, and accompanied by the exciting music, Wang Yaocheng strode into the arena with a smile on his face.
middle.
More than a hundred guests present burst into warm applause, warmly welcoming the newly minted billionaire, and clapped their hands red without hesitation.
In front of the green and beautiful sword, this respect is necessary.
After running for more than 20 days, Wang Yaocheng has developed a conditioned reflex in his facial muscles. Whenever he hears applause, he will show a standard smile, with no more and no less, exactly four white teeth.
"...
I have dreamed of my success countless times. Standing among flowers and applause to share happiness with you will be the most dazzling moment in my life.
Looking back on the difficult and tortuous road we have gone through makes us full of gratitude.
I would like to thank my parents for their hard work in raising me, my teachers for their earnest guidance, and my classmates and entrepreneurial partners for their generous help and contribution of their greatest enthusiasm and talents.
I would like to thank Citibank for providing valuable help during the initial growth of the company, and thank Microsoft for its generous donation. You are the best!
I want to thank the great investment bank Goldman Sachs. You have taught me a lot. I want to thank..."
After saying a long list of thanks, he received even warmer applause. This was basically a stylized cutscene that had been said more than a hundred times.
Wang Yaocheng didn't even use his brain, he spit it out from his mouth very smoothly, and pushed it to the ground.
a moment later
Entering the public question-and-answer session, Wang Yaocheng answered all kinds of strange questions with a smile and still handled them skillfully.
Like the oil seller;
Nothing but familiarity with your hands.
One hedge fund manager asked;
"Boss King, according to reliable sources, you are currently having a heated relationship with the female service specialist of the private charter flight. Someone saw you entering the same suite at the hotel. Can you tell us?
This female service specialist should have South American blood. We know that South American girls are very enthusiastic and usually demanding. Do you find it difficult to deal with it?"
Wow!
It would be a pity if this guy doesn’t become a tabloid reporter!
Wang Yaocheng smiled and said, "You asked a very interesting question, a bit naughty!"
Everyone laughed. Even though all the elites in the financial world were present, the blazing fire of gossip was still burning fiercely, and there was a look of longing in their eyes.
This kind of opportunity is not easy to come across, and even billionaires cannot often go public for roadshows.
It is completely conceivable that if there is no positive response, there will still be embarrassing questions one after another.
"This question is very profound..."
Wang Yaocheng said one sentence, and everyone burst into laughter again knowingly. The scene once seemed quite obscene. Wang Yaocheng had already greeted these people's grandmothers dozens of times in his heart.
"Yes, this female service specialist and I are trying to date each other. This is a very wonderful experience. I also feel the hot passion of South American girls and enjoy it.
As for saying that we entered the same suite, please don't talk nonsense without evidence, otherwise I will sue you for defamation.
Thank you for your interest in this tidbit. Let us turn our attention back to Netscape. What is gratifying is that we have found a reliable profit point. It is expected that in 1993, the performance will have explosive growth, and the company will grow rapidly...
