Yahoo's IPO, with a total share capital of 1 billion, issued 200 million shares at a price of $50 per share, with a pre-IPO valuation of $50 billion.
There are few IPOs of this size in the United States. Wells Fargo, HSBC, Morgan Bank, Goldman Sachs and other dozen financial institutions act as lead underwriters.
Li Zetian came to Nasdaq again.
Why do you say "again" again
Because he has come to Nasdaq too many times...
In the eyes of outsiders, the Nasdaq bell ringing is holy, proud, and proud, but in Li Zetian's view, it is no different from drinking boiled water.
If Li Zetian is willing, he can come to Nasdaq and ring the bell 100 times!
After going through the various processes, the Nasdaq just opened, and Yahoo's ticker symbol appeared on the stock market for the first time.
As soon as the market opened, Yahoo's stock was immediately snapped up by investors!
Yes!
Grab as many as you have!
Investors have been preparing for a long time, trying their best to buy, almost crazy.
Internet concept stocks are really hot in the United States, and Yahoo is the largest website in the Internet, and relying on advertising business, its annual profit exceeds 10 million US dollars!
Don't look at the profit of only 10 million US dollars, but you must know that it is almost rare for so many Internet companies nowadays to make profits, and most companies are burning money. Burning money is the current characteristic of Internet companies. At present, the number of Internet users in the world is only more than 30 million, while the global population is 56 billion. The development space of the Internet is huge, so everyone is optimistic about the future development of Internet companies.
Yahoo.com is one of the most outstanding and best-performing companies, so once it goes public, it is also the most sought after by investors and shareholders.
In less than an hour, Yahoo's stock price rose 20% to $60 a share, giving it a market value of $60 billion.
The uptrend was too strong and unexpected.
Wall Street can not help but be crazy and shocked!
Many people estimate that when the Nasdaq closed that day, Yahoo's market value may exceed 100 billion US dollars.
The media has been amazing.
"Shock! ! ! Yahoo's IPO may break the $100 billion mark on its first day! 》
"Yahoo goes public, creating an IPO myth! 》
"Yahoo's listing, the rise is amazing, and the Internet concept stocks are hot again! 》
…
The peers who are concerned about Yahoo's listing are all happy. Although their website is not as good as Yahoo's, it is also an Internet company. Yahoo is listed, and its market value is so high, so when its own website goes public, it will at least have billions of dollars.
"Haha, the opportunity to make a fortune is here! My website has hundreds of thousands of traffic, and I am a little famous. If I go public, I will become a billionaire!"
At this moment, the bosses of website companies are all thinking about putting their companies on the market.
Building a website is very easy, investing millions or even hundreds of thousands of dollars can build a website.
…
On this day, many people's emotions have been thrilled with the volatility of Yahoo's stock price.
When the Nasdaq closed, as everyone had guessed, Yahoo's market value exceeded $100 billion, reaching $115 billion.
Investors can't even close their mouths of joy, because they bought Yahoo stock and made a lot of money!
Li Zetian was slightly surprised, never expected that Yahoo's market value could be so high. He initially estimated that Yahoo's market value was $80-90 billion.
This shows how much everyone loves Internet companies! !
The next day, Yahoo made headlines in major newspapers, causing a global sensation.
Yahoo's success has inspired countless people, and it goes without saying that the number of websites will explode in the next period of time!
The idea of getting rich overnight breeds in the hearts of many people!
In addition, countless venture capital firms have taken action. As long as it is an Internet website, as long as there is a little traffic, they will all become the object of their investment.
For a time, countless website companies acquired the emails or phone calls of investment companies.
This can not help but these sites ecstatic.
After a week, dozens of sites have received venture capital.
Venture capital is so fond of website companies, which can not help but set off a wave of entrepreneurship in Silicon Valley. Even people who work as waiters in supermarkets resolutely resigned and started website development work.
During this period, 25,000 websites were established.
Telecommunications companies are also more confident in the Internet, investing heavily to speed up the deployment of fiber.
A month later, it was Amazon’s turn to go public, with a pre-IPO valuation of $32 billion.
Because of the success of Yahoo, the stock of Amazon.com is also highly sought after.
When the stock market closed that day, Amazon.com's market value reached $63 billion.
The successful listing of Amazon's website has made the global e-commerce website booming, and countless followers have sprung up everywhere.
Followed by another half a month, TripAdvisor website listed.
Li Zetian, Bill Gates, and Warren Buffett came to Nasdaq together.
The appearance of the three together caused a huge media sensation, and the investors were even more encouraged.
"The TripAdvisor website is amazing. The three shareholders behind it are not simple. Not only are there Chronos Li, the world's richest man, but also Microsoft CEO Bill Gates and Warren Buffett. With them, TripAdvisor must have a great future!"
"Yes, I'm also very bullish on TripAdvisor!"
“Wait for TripAdvisor to go public!!! Hehe, I mortgaged my house and raised millions!”
"I'm going, the netizens upstairs are awesome, they're so bold, I quickly sold the car and bought stocks!"
"… "
TripAdvisor website has developed into the world's largest travel website, and its traffic is no worse than Amazon's. Currently, it has more than 4 million registered users, benefiting countless hotels, restaurants, and attractions, covering five continents.
There are many people who think TripAdvisor is more valuable than Amazon.com.
TripAdvisor's IPO, with a total equity of 1 billion shares, issued 200 million shares at $22 per share, with a pre-IPO valuation of $22 billion.
As soon as the stock market opened, TripAdvisor, like Yahoo and Amazon, was snapped up by investors.
At the close of the day, TripAdvisor's stock price rose to $55, giving it a market value of $55 billion.
After three Internet companies, Yahoo, Amazon and TripAdvisor, went public, Internet concept stocks have become a mess in the United States. Investors, shareholders, and entrepreneurs have all begun to become blind. Even a website with no development potential is also willing to invest in the Internet. The bubble is getting worse. However, no one noticed this.
Li Zetian watched from the sidelines, no one knew better than him what the Internet bubble was all about.
But he didn't say it, and chose to make a fortune in silence.
There are more websites waiting for him to create, and then take advantage of the popularity of Internet concept stocks to make money by listing the company. If you want to get the company back, you can wait until the dot-com bubble burst and then buy back shares at a low price.
In the evening, Li Zetian sat alone in the study and began to write a plan.
eBay.
PayPal.
LinkedIn LinkedIn.
blog.
For the time being, Li Zetian only wrote four.
First of all, eBay was established in 1995 in the previous life, and it is now 1994. Regardless of the butterfly effect, Li Zetian decided to develop it in advance.
eBay is an online auction and shopping website that allows people around the world to buy and sell items online. It is very popular in the United States and is growing rapidly. How it makes money:
1. A publication fee is charged for each auction (the fee ranges from 0.25 to 800 US dollars).
2. A transaction fee (ranging from 7 to 13% of the transaction price) will be charged for each auction that has been completed.
As for PayPal, it is a third-party payment software like Alipay in China.
Now, e-commerce has become mature, and third-party payment software has the soil to grow. Although online banking already exists, it is not convenient enough. Be aware that not every user has the bank specified by the website. If Amazon.com does not support those small banks, how can users of these small banks shop on Amazon.com
As we all know, there are so many banks in the United States, especially the local banks, which are almost overwhelming.
PayPal's mission is to specifically cooperate with banks of all sizes, and users only need to use PayPal when shopping. Moreover, PayPal can integrate internationally popular credit cards, debit cards, e-checks and other payment methods to help buyers and sellers solve payment problems in various transaction processes, and can easily complete overseas receipts and payments.
It can be said that PayPal is the fastest way for users to choose payment methods!
As for LinkedIn, it is a professional social networking site. It was also very popular in the past life. Its global membership exceeded 500 million! The purpose of the site is for registered users to maintain contacts they know and trust in their business dealings, commonly known as "connections".
And blogs were once very popular.
The later Twitter or Weibo evolved from the blog.
The next day, Li Zetian handed over the planning book she had written to Dongfang Yuqin and asked her to send someone to register and set up a company.
After reading Li Zetian's plan, Dongfang Yuqin was stunned and couldn't recover for a long time.
"Mr. Li, your four planning books are really shocking! Each of them is different, but they are all promising! And I think you wrote these four ideas in just one night, Mr. Li, you are truly a genius, no one can compare!" Dongfang Yuqin said with admiration, at this moment, she couldn't help feeling sorry for those Internet competitors, because it was so tragic to live in the same era as Li Zetian, forever Can only live in the shadow of Li Zetian, bleak.
Both Shengyu and He Shengliang!
Li Zetian put his arms around Dongfang Yuqin's plump and soft body at this time, smiled and said, "You don't know how talented I am today, so quickly let people set up the company, I plan to take advantage of the Internet bubble and push them to the market! "
"Well, okay, I understand!" Dongfang Yuqin nodded.
So Dongfang Yuqin picked up the phone and started working.
There are many developers in the United States, and as long as they have money, they are not worried about not being able to recruit people.
Within a month, four companies, eBay, PayPal, LinkedIn, and Blog, were quietly established. While a large number of Internet companies are born every day, these four companies will not attract attention.
At the beginning of the company's establishment, it is natural to keep a low profile to prevent other companies from following suit.
Li Zetian will learn about the development progress of these four companies every other week, which is expected to be completed before March next year. At that time, it will be a sensation in the entire industry again, and the name of Chronos·Li will become synonymous with the entire Internet! ! ! 46
