Back to 1995

Chapter 649
Wesley and a group of ICQ executives sprayed champagne excitedly, and then drank the remaining champagne.

When Netscape went public, its market capitalization skyrocketed on the first day, but it was only $27 billion. At that time, the media was already screaming, but now?
Just when ICQ went public, Wesley and Irene were born. These two billionaires worth more than 20 billion dollars came out, which is equivalent to the two original Netscapes, and they are just two small shareholders of ICQ!

Holding a glass of champagne, Irene, who was talking to Edison, Pellet Greene and other Wall Street institutions, had a reserved smile on her face, as if all this was just a small scene.

But when Edison saw Irene's other clenched fist, he could guess how Irene was feeling now.

Even a person as calm as water may not be able to hold back when he hears that his net worth has suddenly increased to billions of dollars. Think about how many small companies in Nasdaq have a market value of less than 20 billion dollars. A family in Lijia can be worth a billion dollars, which can be regarded as an ordinary wealthy family!
The Internet is really a wealth-creating movement, and Edison has to sigh, just like the vigorous oil and gold rush in America back then, anyone who can find an oil field or a gold mine can get rich overnight, and the Internet Compared with the original oil and gold rush, it is more violent.

Edison couldn't help looking at Song Yang, who was talking with Immelt and Brian Roberts in a low voice. Even people like Irene and Wesley had skyrocketed in value. How far will the price rise once!
Song Yang chatted with Immelt and the others, and when he heard the noise, he raised the champagne with a smile, gestured to the people in the manor, and drank it all in one gulp.

The banquet tonight will be held in the manor. Even though the time has not arrived, many people have already arrived in the manor.

After drinking a glass of champagne, Song Yang put the glass aside, looked at Immelt and Brian Roberts and asked, "Didn't you raise the stock price of ICQ?"

In order to ensure that the big merger can be completed, General Electric and Comcast also promised Song Yang that they would work with ICQ to hold up the stock price, so as not to get out of hand in time, but unexpectedly, the stock price of ICQ rose sharply today. Exceeded expectations.

Brian Roberts shook his head directly, "Today's ICQ stock turnover exceeded [-] million US dollars, obviously someone is rushing to raise money!"

Immelt also nodded. It is impossible to play this way if you want to trust the stock price. Buying ICQ stock price at such a high price today is a gamble. ICQ stock price will rise sharply in the future, otherwise it will definitely lose money. .

After hearing what the two said, Song Yang couldn't help looking at Edison and the others. If it wasn't for them, then it could only be Wall Street. I don't know if it's Goldman Sachs or other institutions that are making big bets, or there are really big Yuanzhong and leeks have been fooled and are madly buying ICQ stocks!
"No matter who it is, it is a good thing for us that ICQ's stock price can rise. Of course, your worth, Song, will be even higher!"

Immelt said to Song Yang with great interest, he could imagine that the major financial news tomorrow would probably be reported by Song Yang.

Song Yang shook his head, "Who knows what will happen in the future, the current ones are all figures on paper..."

Listening to Song Yang's words, Brian Roberts was a little speechless. Even the data on paper, Brian Roberts and many other people are envious.

Although it is impossible to cash out immediately, it is not a problem at all to mortgage the stock and borrow a large sum of dollars from the bank based on the things on paper. No matter where you go in America, you are always sought after. !
"ICQ's stock price soared by 31% on the first day of listing, with a market value of more than US$395 billion, a turnover rate of more than 26% throughout the day, and a turnover of more than US$[-] million.

Becoming the third largest Internet company in America, ICQ has broken all doubts and proved the strength of the social empire to the world. In the future, the market value of ICQ may increase, but ICQ's revenue and performance may limit the development of ICQ , ICQ needs new business..."

The Wall Street Journal touted ICQ a bit, thinking that according to today's surge in ICQ, it may attract a batch of new leeks into the pit tomorrow, which will continue to increase the market value of ICQ, but also vaguely hinted that the current market value of ICQ is indeed somewhat High, with ICQ's current ability to make money, some cannot support the current market value, unless ICQ can make a big move.

"The largest wealth creation campaign in history!"

The report of the New York Times is much more fruitful, directly stating that the listing of ICQ today is a massive money-circulating campaign in the history of Wall Street.

"The listing of ICQ gave birth to two billionaires, four billionaires, twelve billionaires, and more than 20 people worth more than ten million dollars. ICQ's employees worth one million dollars have reached 31 employees who work as security and cleaning staff at ICQ, relying on ICQ's option rewards today, their net worth has increased by $519!

And ICQ's major shareholder, Bruno Song, who holds a 40% stake in ICQ, saw his net worth skyrocket by US$158 billion in a single day, setting a record for the fastest net worth growth in the history of America! "

Once the New York Times report was released, it caused an uproar, and the entire American financial and financial industry was completely blown up.

I used to know that the Internet is very powerful in making money, but no one would have thought that it would be able to make money like this. When ICQ went public, dozens of millionaires and billionaires were born. Millionaires are even counted in hundreds. The most outrageous thing is, In ICQ, the security guards who guard the gate, and the cleaners who sweep the floor, all rely on [-] ICQ stock rewards, and their worth has increased by [-] to [-] dollars a day!

Almost all major forums and websites in America exploded at the same time, and posts of various opinions began to appear.

The most widely circulated post is one, "After three years of hard work, it is better to sweep ICQ for one year!"

This post, on the forum, received more than [-] reposts and comments. In this era, it is definitely a popular post. Countless people began to complain, calling ICQ purely for cutting leeks. More.

"Rookie, you did a good job today. Tonight at the RICK night show in New York, the boss of the department treats you!"

New York International Securities Company, Andrew Collier, who had been on the phone all day, had a hoarse voice. When he put down the phone, the executive came over and said to Collier.

Collier wanted to say something, but he had made countless phone calls in a day, and his throat was already hoarse. Just as he wanted to open his mouth, his throat hurt.

Seeing Collier's appearance, the supervisor smiled, and whispered to Collier, "Next month you will become a regular, and you will also get your first salary of more than [-] US dollars in your life!"

After finishing speaking, the supervisor patted Collier on the shoulder and left. Collier looked at the data on the computer in front of him. Today, under his recommendation, investors traded a total of 400 shares of ICQ stock, with a turnover of nearly [-]. Wanmei Knife.

Collier looked at the transaction sheets on the screen, and was silent for a while. Today, when he touted ICQ to investors, he said something that he didn't believe at all, that is, the sharp rise of ICQ made many leeks increase their bets. I bought stocks, but finally ICQ's stock price rose sharply today, otherwise Collier didn't know what the scene would be.

Taking a deep breath, Andrew Collier knew that today he has officially entered the industry, and the RICK night show tonight is his induction ceremony!

At night, the North Shore Manor is brightly lit. Countless luxury cars and sports cars crowded the road leading to the manor. Famous New York celebrities, celebrities, Wall Street bigwigs, and New York congressmen all flocked here. This is the center of New York today!
All the big and small media in New York squatted here, and even the tabloid media in Los Angeles ran over to see if they could interview some explosive lace or gossip news.

When Paulson and a well-known singer in New York came to the North Shore Manor, they seemed to have their own aura. They used to be singers who were sought after by the media, but now they were somewhat ignored. The media paid more attention to Paulson.

"Boss!"

After entering the manor, many people began to gather around Paulson, and Pellet Greene found an opportunity to get close to Paulson.

Paulson patted the little singer's body. The latter was very interested in looking for acquaintances. She followed Paulson. She used Paulson's identity to get to know some celebrities and contacts. Why is Paulson playing petty temper in front of a big guy like him.

"Song, Immelt, Brian Roberts and the others do seem to be planning something, but just based on this, isn't it a bit too risky!"

The sharp rise in ICQ stock price today is inseparable from the contribution of Goldman Sachs. Half of the turnover of [-] million US dollars was contributed by Goldman Sachs.

ICQ's tradable shares seem to be quite a lot, with 3000 million shares, but most of them are in the hands of Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, Merrill Lynch and other American 401K funds and institutions. Goldman Sachs does not sell ICQ stocks today, and other institutions do not. There was a tacit understanding of not selling, and other securities companies recommended ICQ stocks to the leeks, which directly caused ICQ's stock price to skyrocket.

Other institutions, while looking at Goldman Sachs' face, also want to raise the ICQ stock price, so that they can sell the ICQ stock price in their hands to the leeks at a high price!

"This is enough!"

But Paulson said firmly, looking in the direction of Song Yang, based on Paulson's long observation of Song Yang, he understood Song Yang's character to some extent, if he hadn't done a lot of work, Song Yang would not have made such a fuss, No matter what Song Yang wants to do, Paulson is ready to let Goldman Sachs follow suit and make a fortune.

The whole manor was full of noise. Not long after the banquet started, Song Yang didn't know how many glasses of wine had been toasted.

At this time, who knows who shouted, "Respect to the richest man in the world in the future!"

The whole manor was noisy for a while, and Paulson, Edison, Jotus and others all raised their wine glasses to Song Yang with smiles.

According to the current growth rate of Song Yang's net worth, plus Song Yang is much younger than veteran rich men such as Bill Gates and Buffett, it seems that there is nothing wrong with saying this. Even if he suffers, Song Yang will one day be able to Boil 'em, get in that position, and now it's just an early champagne...

Jenny, who was holding Song Yang's arm, was blushing and looked at Song Yang with blurred eyes. Compared with Song Yang, she was much more excited today, especially at this time when so many big men in America were all Raising the wine glass to Song Yang, and congratulating Song Yang, Jenny's body softened when she heard the phrase "the richest man in the world", and leaned a little closer to Song Yang.

Facing the turmoil in the manor and the wine glasses held high by countless people, Song Yang could only raise the wine glass in his hand. There was a burst of cheers at the scene, and Song Yang drank the wine that he didn't know how many glasses of wine tonight , I really want to say that he is not interested in the chair under Bill Gates' butt...

The next day, Forbes Magazine and Time Magazine were not the first to publish, but the Bloomberg Rich List was released first.

"The second richest person in the world, the Bruno Song family has surpassed the Wal-Mart family, with 497 billion dollars, becoming the second richest person in the world!"
