Chapter 34: Netscape goes public

"The check-in task has been refreshed."

"Please sign in at the New York Stock Exchange in Lower Manhattan, and the sign-in reward: technology and patent licensing related to thin and light laptops."

I don't know if it was because of the unaccustomed conditions after arriving on the other side of the ocean. The daily check-in for the past two days added up to one hundred thousand dollars. Fortunately, the refresh of the check-in task gave Xu Ang a little comfort.

After coming to the United States for two days, Xu Ang found that he had not done anything. The first day was mainly due to jet lag, and the second day was to prepare the dress and rehearsal.

Dress rehearsal?

Yes, it's a rehearsal.

Is it a surprise that Nasdaq actually has to rehearse the bell?

"Son, Xiaoxiao and I really want to accompany you?"

It sounded like an interrogative sentence, but Xu Ang saw that Xiaoying's mother had already changed into the black dress she had chosen that didn't show her back or shoulders. In short, he knew that the interrogative sentence didn't exist.

"My son made a fortune for the first time, you have to witness it, Mom."

"Whether you make a fortune or not is secondary. Mom just wants you and Xiaoxiao to be safe."

On the side, Yang Xiaomi couldn't help but think: You don't want to make a fortune, but I want to make it, life without money is too hard.

Hearing Xiaoying's mother calling her name, the little boy in Yang Xiaomi's arms giggled: "Mom, look, what a beautiful new dress."

The little boy wearing a tutu skirt and a rounded head was so cute that Xu Ang couldn't help pinching her little face.

In the past, the children had already expressed their dissatisfaction, but this time she didn't. Instead, she showed a smile to Xu Ang.

"Pigeon look at my new skirt."

The little girl just wanted to show off her new dress, and didn't care whether her little face was pinched or not.

"Oh, who's cutie is this, is it from the Old Xu family?"

"right."

The proud child with his arms raised was carried away by Xiaoying's mother. She was about to go out, and this was a foreign country. Xiaoying's mother did not want to separate the little baby from her.

Yang Xiaomi took the opportunity to hold Xu Ang's hand, the soft touch on his arm made Xu Ang feel strange, in order to distract him, he hurriedly said to Jiang Wu and Zhang Ming: "Brother Wu, Coach Zhang, thank you for helping me today. Stand up."

"Look at what you said, you can invite us to look down on us, right, old Zhang."

It's easy for Jiang Wu to do it alone, just please. But Zhang Ming couldn't do it there. Xu Ang couldn't bring the entire coaching staff there, so he only invited Zhang Ming.

On the contrary, it was Hendry who came the most. In addition to Hendry himself, there were ten of his colleagues and assistants ready to go. Although Hendry was the only one who could follow Xu Ang into the second floor of Times Square, the others had to wait outside to prepare for the upcoming work.

After arriving at Times Square, Xu Ang and the others came to the viewing platform on the second floor of the trading floor after the waiter confirmed the list and let people in.

……

In the Nasdaq studio in Times Square, everyone counted down in unison, and the management of Netscape was excited. They were expecting Mark Anderson and Jim Clark to press the little button together. Once the two did that, dozens of millionaires and several millionaires would be born among them.

As for the billionaires, it has nothing to do with them. That is something that Mark and the founder Jim, who are the major shareholders of the company, and that mysterious Chinese talent named Xu Ang will consider.

People's emotions are affected by the environment. In such an atmosphere, even Xiaoying's mother is inexplicably excited, let alone other people.

Jiang Wu seemed to be as stable as an old dog, but in fact his tightly clenched hands had already betrayed him.

Zhang Ming looked at the countdown Americans with admiration. One million dollars was an astronomical sum that he could never earn in his entire life, and a large number of such rich people would soon be born among these people.

Hendry turned the documents in his hand over and over, and kept telling himself in his heart: Calm down, you are a professional lawyer, you must keep a clear head at all times. Hendry Steady, you are a professional, this is just a small scene, take a deep breath...

Yang Xiaomi held Xu Ang's hand tightly, her body was shaking, and this scene made her both excited and stimulated.

Every million dollars, or even tens of millions of dollars, is this a money game for the rich?

Xu Ang looked around and found that only Xu Xiao was normal.

At this time, this little man was spitting out baby words like "#¥&*@...", dancing with a group of Netscape executives, Xiaoying's mother almost didn't hug her, let her Jumping out of his arms, he jumped to the sky.

Although she didn't know what these strange-looking adults were shouting, it didn't prevent the children from letting themselves go.

Family members, investors, partners, employees, and lawyers are all revolving around one thing, all waiting for that little button to be pressed, and they will face the answer given to them by the market together.

In this situation, Xu Ang suddenly understood what a "community of destiny" was.

"Mark."

Jim made a gesture of please.

Mark took his hand sensible and said, "Together."

At that time, when the needle was running at 9:30, the bell rang for the listing.

The moment the small button was pressed by Mark and Jim together, representatives of investment banks such as Goldman Sachs, Citigroup and stakeholders applauded for them at the same moment.

"Congratulations, you two are billionaires from now on."

The listing of a company has created two billionaires... No, Xu Ang is three billionaires.

"Oh! It went up, it went up!"

"It's up to thirty-five dollars!"

Almost at the moment of listing, Netscape's share price rose from 28 to A crowd of newly minted millionaires and multimillionaires cheered in unison.

And this cheering has not stopped since the beginning, because Netscape's stock price has been rising straight, reaching 35 is just the beginning, it soon broke through 40, 50,, 60, and it went on a rampage all the way to 70 US dollars a share. The stock price crashed.

The stock price of Cyclonus made people excited, and it also made both Mark and Jim tremble with fear.

Is the market so optimistic about our company? You make us flattered.

Isn't it just shocking? Mark and the others remember it very clearly. The agreement was written in black and white. Only if the company's share price did not reach $70 per share, they could repurchase Xu Ang at the issue price of $28 per share. 30% of the shares, once the share price exceeds $70, they have to buy back at $70 per share.

The stock price is high, and their net worth will rise with the water. It is said that Mark and the others should be eager for the stock price to be as high as possible, but when they think of the huge price they have to pay to repurchase Xu Ang's shares after the stock price exceeds 70, Mark and the others don't know what they are Should I hope that the stock price will rise, or should I hope that the stock price will always be below 70.

Objective things do not depend on human will. Before Mark and Jim can react, the stock price has reached a new high.

"Break 70!"

"The company's stock price is over $70 a share!"

"I got rich, hahaha..."

Amid the excited cheers from the crowd, Mark and Jim smiled.

This smile is bitter.

In contrast, Xu Ang's high-spirited yet restrained smile.

Crack!

A photographer took a picture of three people looking at each other.
