Back to 1995

Chapter 645
Getting ICQ listed is not the key, the key is that the stock price cannot collapse after listing, otherwise, it will be impossible to play in the future.

Irene, Greck, and a group of ICQ executives all froze when they heard Song Yang's words. They all knew that ICQ would make a big move next.

Song Yang has quite a few opponents now. I don't know how many people want to attack ICQ openly and secretly. During this period of time, there are not a few people who praise ICQ, but there are also many people who belittle ICQ as worthless.

Citadel Fund, LVMH Group, and many opponents are secretly waiting to export to ICQ. As long as there is a slight flaw, these hyenas will swarm up.

Not only opponents inside and outside the industry, but also the American Donkey Party, the anti-trust school behind Ella Cherry, the Anglo-Saxons headed by Edward Winslow, etc., are all eyeing Song Yang .

As long as they dare to reveal a little flaw or weakness, this group of people will jump up and bite. In their eyes, if Song Yang is brought down, they can get a large piece of fat. As long as there is a chance, they will won't miss it.

Irene nodded, "I will contact several investment banks that issued ICQ shares, plus General Electric, Comcast, etc. ICQ's stock price should not be pulled down..."

No one wants the stock price of ICQ to collapse. Wall Street is waiting to cash out. General Electric and Comcast are eagerly waiting for the big merger plan. The stock price of ICQ has collapsed. It will not do them any good. Immel The first one did not agree.

If someone really sells short, it will be difficult for several investment banks such as Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, and Merrill Lynch. General Electric, Comcast, and even Enron will also protect ICQ, but the key is that they are afraid that someone will do things against ICQ. Don't be fooled!
"I'm afraid there will be a lot of people at the dinner party after ICQ's listing!"

Gleick said that a lot of people will come to the celebration banquet after ICQ's listing, not only from the Internet industry, but also from Wall Street, the technology industry, and even the elephant party. It sucks.

The countdown to ICQ's listing has entered. At this time, the entire Silicon Valley and even the global Internet industry have begun to turn their attention to this social empire. ICQ's valuation, fundraising, and user scale have all set new records. Countless people We all want to see whether the stock price and market value of ICQ will also set a new record after the listing of ICQ.

There are many opponents. After all, the stock price of ICQ is not cheap. With a stock price of 278 US dollars, coupled with a valuation of 500 billion US dollars, it is a behemoth on Nasdaq. In the Internet industry, it is second only to AOL and Yahoo, these two companies have touched the threshold of the market value of [-] billion US dollars. If they cross the threshold, they can jump into the dragon's gate and let the birds fly, and they can try to hit the threshold of [-] billion US dollars.

After AOL and Yahoo, it depends on the performance of ICQ after its listing. If the stock price rises sharply, it will attract a lot of leeks into the pit. Betting that the market value of ICQ can climb to the sky-high price of 500 billion dollars, there is never a shortage of Gamblers, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, there will be stud!

As for Microsoft, there is no comparison. Now ICQ’s stock price has doubled ten times, or even fifteen times. so it is.

In the past few years, if a company with a market value of over [-] billion U.S. dollars can emerge in the Internet industry, it can be said that the Internet industry has become one of the mainstream technology industries. With a leading brother, this industry will have a direction , otherwise it is a mess of loose sand!
"I think ICQ's stock price cannot be sustained. From the perspective of professional investment, I can't see the reason why ICQ can sustain. Not only ICQ but Yahoo AOL, Netscape is the best proof..."

On a New York TV station, a die-hard scholar who supports the "internet collapse theory" said to the host and the camera in righteous indignation.

ICQ has been the focus of discussion in New York these days. Countless people are paying attention to whether the second most valuable person in America will be born, or even replace the number one person.

The topic of ICQ discussion is also very popular. The financial channels of various state TV stations are also arguing endlessly. Both supporters and opponents insist on their own opinions. Shout out, rely on venture capital companies to burn money, cut leeks in the stock market, and when the money from venture capital companies is burned out, the Internet will be like the wind, and it will disperse as soon as it blows.

Not to mention the supporters, what new economic model, the new generation of technology wave, the digital age, etc., all kinds of high-level concepts and nouns emerge in endlessly, focusing on theories and concepts. After all, the performance of Internet companies is really not very good...

When it comes to ICQ, this kind of quarrel is even more intense. As the world's financial center and world-renowned investment institutions, they all set up camp in New York, and the debate over the Internet in the Big Apple City has never stopped.

Today's New York TV station's financial channel is about ICQ, and when it comes up, both sides are full of gunpowder.

The TV host looked at Abis Wharton, who yelled about the Internet bubble, and felt a little headache. Abis Wharton is a die-hard supporter of the Internet bubble theory. Now many professors and schools of thought believe that the Internet is It's too fanatical, and it will definitely not last, the bubble will burst.

"Then, Professor Abis, do you think that after ICQ goes public, it will fall below the issue price?"

The host changed the topic and asked, now is the frenzy period of the Internet, and America is about to enter the stage of national stock speculation. Even if there is a bubble, it cannot be reported by New York TV. It can be reported occasionally to attract leeks and increase ratings, but Reporting the collapse of Nasdaq every day, I am afraid that people will smash the TV station.

Abis Wharton hesitated for a moment. He is a professor at a college in New York and a practitioner of conservative investment. According to his common sense, the Internet industry is already a bubble. He dared to use his 30 years of knowledge Come to bet, if the Internet bubble does not burst, it will really violate the common sense he has learned, and Newton's coffin will not be able to hold down.

"According to economic common sense, it is true, but it may take some time before the bubble bursts, but I can guarantee that the stock price of ICQ will definitely fall. Investing in it may allow you to get some short-term gains, but I think buying ICQ stock is still a very risky business..."

"Pfft..."

Hearing this, in the broadcast room, one person couldn't hold back anymore and couldn't help laughing.

"Sorry Wharton, old man, I know I didn't mean to offend you, but I really can't agree with you!"

Both the host and the director pointed their cameras at another person in the director's room. Compared with Abis Wharton, his reputation is much greater.

Known as the number one "Song Chuan" of the American Internet academic school, Song Yang's spiritual mentor in the Internet industry, the number one leader of the Internet, and Song Yang's nominal "spiritual mentor" Tristan, his cards are comparable to Abyss. Wharton is much bigger.

Tristan is one of the leaders in academia touting the Internet, and has contributed a lot of theories to the Internet industry. Of course, what made him the most famous is that he "discovered" Song Yang. The double-click company could not exist without Tristan Credit to Stan.

Of course, no one can say how much Tristan's contribution is, but Song Yang has always praised Tristan in public, and Song Yang has never personally admitted to this nominal "spiritual mentor". But I didn't object to it either.

Tristan's current academic status in the Internet industry is indeed detached. I dare not say that there is a universal response. At least the major Internet companies will give Tristan, who is often an Internet platform, a little bit of shame!
Of course, in the land of America, being famous is naturally beneficial. For example, some Internet companies and academic forum conferences, if you invite Tristan to come forward, you will have to pay Tristan an "invitation fee" of nearly six figures. Today If you come to a TV station to do a program, the TV station will also pay Tristan a large amount of appearance fee, otherwise how can you hire Tristan.

"For any company, the stock price will fall, but that process may take five years, ten years or even longer. It is meaningless to discuss those now!
The issue price of 20 US dollars, I think it will be the cheapest price of ICQ, and it is absolutely impossible to buy it again. ICQ has [-] million users, and it will continue to increase in the future. It has social networking, portal sites, TV stations, etc. Business, the current ICQ, is the General Electric [-] years ago. If you miss ICQ, you will miss an era! "

Tristan said without blushing and heartbeat, blowing ICQ, there is no psychological burden, as long as you can't blow it to death, blow it to death!
Abis Wharton and Tristan knew each other naturally. Both of them lived in New York all year round and taught in universities in New York, so they were no strangers to each other.

"I don't know the future, but with ICQ's current profit model and costs, it simply cannot support the current market value of 300 billion dollars..." Abis Wharton continued.

Tristan waved his hand and said to Fang Qiu, "I believe in ICQ, I believe in Bruno Song, he will not disappoint, and I will witness all this with my own eyes on the Nasdaq trading floor!"

The host's eyes lit up, "Professor Tristan, you were invited to participate in the listing ceremony of ICQ?!"

Tristan smiled. He was in New York, and he was the number one "Song Chuan" in the academic world. He received an invitation letter, so what's the problem?

Seeing the host of the show, as well as the shots from the studio, were all given to Tristan, Abis Wharton pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose. He knew his theory and was not to be seen, but what he had to say It's all been said.

In Times Square, when Amazon's billboards were still lit here and there, they were suddenly replaced with new billboards.
