Early the next morning, when Jordan Belfort got up, he rushed to the newsstand immediately.

The peak hours of work are also the peak hours of office workers buying newspapers. Jordan lives in a low-income apartment not far from Wall Street, so many office workers around are stock brokers. When he rushed to the station without stopping, many people even forgot to take the bus, but instead stared at the newspaper in their hands.

Jordan immediately sent a Wall Street Journal, and he swore with his still alive parents that he knew what the main news was today in his dreams.

Sure enough, a big news was published on the homepage.

"The first day of listing is 60 million US dollars, Microsoft's rise is rapidly rising!"

"Good guy, sixty million dollars!?"

Jordan shouted on the spot: "Microsoft's initial assets are only two million, right? Twenty times the increase, this is really amazing!"

“Be quiet, novices.”

A middle-aged man who was waiting for a car looked at him dissatisfiedly, dressed in a suit and tie. He knew he was also a stock broker: "What's so strange about the value increase after listing? The key is to look at the future development. If he is suppressed by ibm or HP, Dell, do you believe that the stock price can fall to five dollars and go out?"

Jordan sneered and continued to stare at the newspaper.

"Due to the sharp drop in the stock market the day before yesterday, the Nasdaq index fell sharply by 30 points, and dozens of stocks were influential, Microsoft's stock was almost ignored during the call auction stage, and the opening price was forced to plummet from the issue price of 21 yuan to the miserable level of eight cents. But when a huge bidding investment of 100,000 US dollars was invested, major brokerages followed, which avoided Microsoft's stocks from encountering Waterloo at the opening..."

"…The highest price at that time was US$32. As of the closing, the final amount was as high as US$2,990, a 39% increase from the issue price."

These are the news that Jordan already knows. He even knows that the incredible bid of 100,000 yuan was thrown out by himself. He even knows that if he tells this story, almost every investment bank will treat him as a VIP employee!

After all, no one can predict the future, and no stock broker will really know the direction of the stock market. Just the call auction looks like no one cares about it, Microsoft's first day of listing is likely to be a tragic situation. Not to mention returning to the issue price, it would be good to rise to five dollars!

But he took this opportunity to buy it at an extremely low price of 8 cents, allowing Cameron's famous celebrity customer to make a huge amount of 40 million yuan in book funds overnight with 100,000 yuan!

"Wait, the difference of 400 times..."

Actually, I was thinking about it last night, but looking at the Wall Street Journal at this moment, Jordan instinctively felt something was wrong.

Speaking of which, why did Microsoft's stock not be interested in the early stages?

The companies that can go public will not be bad. Microsoft even published a newspaper with its cooperation last year, and there are even propaganda that it will launch the Windows 20 system soon. Logically speaking, it should not be so dismal no matter what.

Moreover, the questionnaire issued by Microsoft not long ago proved that many people are looking forward to its stock.

"There are competitors to suppress it?"

Jordan immediately guessed this possibility. Generally speaking, the suppression of the stock market is the influx of funds, which forced the opening price to be suppressed during the call bidding stage before the opening. But Microsoft is not like this now. If you think about it...

"ibm must have contacted major brokerages secretly."

It was still early in the morning, but it was just the West Coast, where the Microsoft Corporate Headquarters in Redmond, Washington was holding an executive meeting in the conference room. Regarding listing, Alice was of course present, but the company was listed yesterday, so it was impossible to convene all major shareholders.

"Goldman Sachs, Citi, etc., as long as these large-scale brokerage firms and banks do not take action, other small investment companies will naturally not dare to act rashly."

Gates presided over the meeting and said to everyone: "Although Nasdaq shares are not as good as those blue-chip stocks on the New York Stock Exchange, they are not comparable to those pink and thin-priced stocks. But because we are not weak, when big investors do not take action, other institutions will not dare to move, no matter how big they are, they will wonder if there is any problem within our Microsoft."

"It seems that ibm has spent a lot of money."

Paul Allen chuckled softly: "It is not enough to make major banks give up the income from a new stock listing, but it doesn't cost tens of millions of dollars each. As a result, the deal will be lost~"

People all heard a relaxed laugh. Just after the close of yesterday, their brokerage firms had sent the information. The $100,000 bid was invested by James Cameron, a life-saving money. After that, although Citi did not take action, many large, medium and small investment institutions, led by Morgan Stanley, Rothschild and Goldman Sachs, rushed to Microsoft. Eight cents to $32, this was a pretty crazy deal!

"Alice, what do you think?"

Gates suddenly realized that throughout the meeting, Alice almost said nothing: "You have been silent for a long time."

Everyone cast admiring eyes at the girls. No matter what the performance in the cooperation process, Alice's talent was simply terrifying like a robot. Gates, Ballmer and others joked more than once, saying that Alice's brain was just a computer, right?

"I must be doing something tricky."

Alice spoke: "The public is very much looking forward to our listing, otherwise PwC would not have issued an issue price of $21. But if you say that the bidding was out of interest, it was because ibm bribed major banks. This would be nonsense, and there must be other reasons."

The same sentence, different people say it, has different effects.

Gates's face changed slightly: "You mean..."

Alice blew a whistle: "As early as half a year ago, ibm and Nasdaq exchanges bought Cisco's routers respectively. Blue Giant is an old expert in computer games, and the old antiques on the exchange who are still using the Dos system..."

The words did not continue, but just this sentence was enough to make all the participants' faces turn dark.

The excitement of listing has caused all the company's personnel to be in a carnival. The celebration party was just over the night. So, almost everyone didn't think too much about the situation at that time, but now according to Alice's analysis...

Gates frowned vigorously.

At the same time, just as Microsoft on the West Coast held a morning meeting, many companies on Wall Street on the East Coast were still busy.

In fact, all stock market practitioners work almost 24 hours a day. The opening time is when they work the most hard, and if their careers involve European, Japanese, Hong Kong stocks and other global stocks rather than just American stocks, these people will be busy almost all day long just when opening.

Even in the non-opening period, analyze information, pay attention to news, judge securities market prices based on fundamental analysis, and produce various types of statements... It is no wonder that banks and securities companies will occupy a skyscraper in the urban financial district. It really requires too many employees.

“Administrators list…”

At this moment, in the securities analysis department of Goldman Sachs, financial analyst Milan was looking at the relevant information of Microsoft and muttered: "The second largest shareholder, Alice Wang, owns 30% of the shares, and then Paul Allen has 27% of the shares... Did I see it wrong?"

"You read that right."

His colleague, Tom, who was sitting on the desk next door, said: "The official investment time was July 1984, and not long after, it was when Windows 10 was released. It seemed that this was a technology investment. However, Alice..."

Tom looked strangely at a corner of his desk, where the book "Jurassic Park" was placed.

Milan was also muttering: "Alice is a very common name, and Wang is also a common Chinese surname, but put them together... At the same time, two girls with the same name and the entertainment industry appeared in the IT and entertainment industry. Tom, what is the probability?"

Tom really lowered his head and calculated. As a top student who graduated from Harvard Business School, his undergraduate degree was mathematics. Calculus, statistics, and matrix outline. He really lowered his head and calculated this probability...

No matter how suspicious they are in their hearts, when the time comes, relevant institutions will publish information on listed companies. If, even before Microsoft went public, many people did not pay attention to what its executive composition was, when the Wall Street Journal news that Microsoft earned 60 million a day was released, countless media finally couldn't sit still!

On the fifth day of Microsoft's listing, the stock price continued to remain high, while the amount continued to pour in, and major and medium-sized newspapers had turned their passion into actions, and eye-catching news titles began to be printed in pieces.

"Microsoft's listing is a billion yuan in funds, and the literary girl turns into a super rich man!?"

"Stocks with no interest in opening prices have created the dream of a middle school girl in a billionaire!?"

"Is it a coincidence or a necessity, is it the same name and surname or is it the same person? Alice and Wang, a magical combination!"

This is a capital with free press, and no one can stop journalists from writing a lot. If necessary, even if they face it, they can scold the president. Although the mysterious second shareholder did not mean to appear in front of the media until the fifth day of its listing, this does not mean that small and medium-sized media dare not use ambiguous words to earn sales.

Then, finally, on the seventh day after its launch, Microsoft officially announced that it would hold a press conference outside the Microsoft headquarters building in Redmond on Wednesday, March 12.

For a time, almost all financial media magazines were in full swing. The Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Times Weekly, and even overseas Times, all of them ordered air tickets to arrive in Seattle before the 12th.

The number of people has caused the tickets of many flights to be sold out in an instant!
