"As the chairman of LinkedIn, I would like to say to all investors: Thank you very much for your attention to LinkedIn. I believe that the future growth of LinkedIn will definitely bring you unimaginable returns. Thank you!"

"Whoa...!"

There was prolonged applause.

"Mr. Guo, I think LinkedIn will have a brighter future under your leadership!"

Carlyle Group CEO David Rubinstein walked over with a smile.

"thanks!"

"Mr. Guo, it's almost time!"

In fact, without Hassan Winslow reminding him, Guo Shouyun also knew that it was time to ring the bell.

"Everyone, excuse me!"

After finishing speaking, Guo Shouyun took Ruby and the senior management of LinkedIn to the rostrum again, accompanied by the flashing lights, and in many envious eyes, including Guo Shouyun, the elders who have grown up with LinkedIn all the way have their faces at this moment. Full of pride and excitement.

"boss…!"

Hearing Tim George's reminder, Guo Shouyun didn't ring the bell immediately.

"Stretch out your hands!"

Looking at Guo Shouyun's flat palm, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then quickly understood.

"...Although I am the chairman of the company, it is not my fault that LinkedIn has come to this point. So at this special moment today, the glory should not be enjoyed by me alone."

Under his eyes, Tim George was the first to extend his palm, and LinkedIn President David Belden was the second, and then all the company executives present extended their hands.

"Everyone, listen to me! Lift up first, then... 1, 2, 3!... Bell Ring!"

With the pressing of the palm, a fierce bell rang throughout the hall. Soon, the festive ribbons fell from the heights, and the champagne prepared in advance for the celebration was also brought up.

"$38.45 for 1000 shares!"

With the opening bell, the first trade occurred.

Not long after, Hassan Winslow came over with a trade ticket. Usually listed companies will collect the first transaction slip as a souvenir, and Guo Shouyun also knows this rule.

"Mr. Guo, it seems that LinkedIn is very popular. In just a few minutes, the price has exceeded 40 US dollars."

After taking the transaction slip that the other party had put on the table, "It was a bit unexpected, but it's a good thing for both of us, isn't it?"

Stock exchanges, the more companies with high-value stocks, not only can they gain considerable influence, but also can get more profit sharing from the transaction.

"Of course, it's a win-win for us!"

After the two sides gestured for a while, they clinked glasses and took a sip of champagne.

Today's listing on LinkedIn, Guo Shouyun is considered a landlord, so he is naturally indispensable for the on-site reception. Even with Tim George's share, those distinguished guests with extraordinary status and power also need him to greet them in person.

After the entertainment was over and everyone had lunch together, he got a moment of free time.

"How much is LinkedIn's stock price?"

"$43.37!"

Guo Shouyun nodded, "Looking at this trend, there is a chance to approach $50 within three days!"

LinkedIn's total share capital is 200 million, and over $50 means it has a market capitalization of over $10 billion.

"The company is preparing to make a wave of publicity for the opportunity to go public."

"This is indeed a good opportunity, you can just discuss it."

After Tim George hesitated, "Boss, in order to achieve the best results, I'm afraid you still need to come forward in person."

"I?"

"Because you rarely give interviews, the outside world is very curious about you and your life. Any news and magazines that report on you will get good results. Like Time magazine a while ago, because of your interviews. ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The current issue of magazine sales has increased by 1.3 times!" Tim George laughed.

"Listen to what you said, already planned?"

Tim George nodded, "The CW TV financial channel of the matrix company intends to set up an economic talk show, similar to Fox TV's "Entrepreneurship America", which mainly invites the executives of various companies to communicate with each other based on the current economic hotspots."

"The new program of the CW TV news channel? How did you get in touch with them?" Guo Shouyun asked curiously.

Although Matrix and Ruby are both their own companies, there are not many connections between them.

"Mr. Morris of Matrix Company took the initiative to find me to cooperate, and wanted to use the listing of LinkedIn to do an exclusive interview as the inaugural work of the "Dialogue America" ​​program."

Guo Shouyun nodded clearly.

"This guy is quite secretive enough to not tell me such things."

"Mr. Morris may also want to let you know after the results."

In fact, it's not that Buddy Morris doesn't say it, but that he has the right to make decisions on matters that do not involve the company's future development strategy and does not need to report to Guo Shouyun. Moreover, he didn't want to get involved in such trivial matters. Otherwise, if more than a dozen companies add up to big things and small things, he won't have to do anything else in a day.

"I've agreed to this matter, you can arrange it with Morris."

"Yes!"

After the two sides exchanged about the Ruby Company, Tim George left.

"Boss, everything is arranged!"

Wang Jue walked over and said.

"Bring out a bottle of Latour '95."

"Yes!"

Looking at the afterglow of the setting sun outside the window, Guo Shouyun's eyes became more profound. The arrival of this guest at night is quite interesting.
