On the night of the company's listing, what the bosses and executives were doing was not something the public was interested in. The soaring stock price, the market value of over 100 million yuan, and the excited mood of every stock investor who bought stocks were the focus of the media. Therefore, when the new year comes, on New Year's Day on January 1, 1988, led by major newspapers such as the Wall Street Journal and the Los Angeles Times financial edition, countless media reported on the grand occasion of Cisco's listing.

"We finally waited for this day. Cisco has always been a leader in this industry. The company is very optimistic about its prospects and is looking forward to further cooperation with it." This was the answer made by the spokesperson on the reporter's questions at the ibm company's New Year press conference.

"A great irony, ibm shows better than Cisco system?" Dan'er, when ibm's New Year press conference ended, the reporters compiled such an article on their own to the spokesperson's answer.

"I still remember that on the day Microsoft went public, ibm secretly tampered with its call bidding data with Cisco's old model router, and was exposed by the angry Alice Wang Yizhi. Using the products of Microsoft's second largest shareholder's personal company to endanger the development of another key company. After tasting the pain of the lawsuit, ibm wisely chose a friendly development route with Cisco."

"But this is also worth worrying. Cisco has no right to not sell its products to ibm. So, with the company's current most advanced routers, especially the firewall device, it is really doubtful whether ibm claims to be "internal troublemakers" will calm down."

Such a report was published in the relevant sectors of the New York Times with great fanfare, which immediately caused a very sensational impact. Journalists always like to exaggerate the facts are true, but there are many insecure people who will blindly choose to believe it, let alone ibm has a criminal record. In this way, on the second day of the New Year, when many investors saw this report early in the morning, the stock market after the opening was lively.

"Bastard asshole!"

At about ten o'clock, at the CEO's office in Archmond, New York, Arcole angrily threw the newspaper on the table: "Which bastard wrote this out!?"

He shouted, obviously ignoring the signature of the reporter at the beginning of the article, and only cared about venting his anger at the new Cfo Milova who was invited. As for his ex, although he had worked diligently in the company for five years, he resigned shortly after the exchange incident.

"We can directly accuse The New York Times because it not only maliciously creates bad public opinion, but also directly leads to the decline in the stock price of our company." Milova sat in a chair in the reception area. Although the computer was not around, she also got data from Akol.

"You must appeal, let this damn newspaper taste the taste of subpoena!" Akol continued to roar, staring at the computer at the table. His heart was bleeding, really bleeding.

One article, just because of a mere article, the company's stock price hit a three-percent drop after the opening, and billions of dollars evaporated instantly, and this depends entirely on this damn article!

"The appeal is worthy, but I don't think it's so simple." Milova sat here, of course not to be Akol's punching bag. She said calmly: "The reporter's manuscripts must be submitted to the editor for review. How could such an offensive article with a name given to pass the review? Isn't that editor-in-chief's mind?"

After yelling for a few times, Akol's anger dissipated a little, but he looked at the stock price that continued to fall on the computer, and his mind was still in chaos. While thinking about how to explain to the board of directors, he also thought about how to deal with potential enemies, it made him feel a headache.

"...Wait!" Suddenly, he thought of something and said to Milova: "Get me the Dragon and Tiger List yesterday!"

The Dragon and Tiger List is a term in the financial industry, which ranks the purchase and sale quota rankings of a certain stock that day. From that, you can see the identity of the specific shareholder. Milova immediately figured out the key point and immediately stood up and said, "I'll give you the information!"

This film is a big deal for the company itself for the reporting of ibm, but it is still insignificant for the entire second day of the New Year. Many middle- and senior white-collar workers who read financial news every day did not focus most of their energy on the word ibm, but instead focused on another key company.

Cisco's subsequent listing situation is very good.

The financial disclosure work has begun, and everyone can see the situation of Cisco in the sector. All 10 million shares distributed in US$50 million have been sold, and more than 5 million transactions are underway on the second day. Many ordinary investors who made good returns on the first day of listing have satisfied and made a huge profit to leave their stocks. In addition, more retail investors who did not buy the company's stock on the first day were also attracted by the high returns and quickly bought the stocks they sold and made the stock price rise a little.

Therefore, after the closing of the market with a rise of 46% above the first day, Cisco's stock price rose by 17% again on the second day. When the news about ibm was released in the morning of January 2, the company's market value had risen to 270 million, only three days before and after!

At the same time, the first premium dividend was also distributed.

The biggest purpose of a company when choosing to go public is to raise funds. Since no one can guarantee the rise and fall after the opening, the issue price of the stock will basically be higher than the face value for the most basic demands. The higher part will be distributed in cash in the shortest time after listing, allowing the shareholders to gain a generous amount of personal assets in the shortest time.

That is, when Alice divides the company's assets of a total of $50 million into 10 million shares, the unit price of these five dollars is the par value. Cisco's stock is several cents higher than the par value, which seems to be worth noting, so that almost no one will specifically say that number, but at least this means that a sum of cash can be distributed to all shareholders immediately without waiting for a fixed dividend payment time every year.

Therefore, when the premium dividend of up to hundreds of thousands was quickly distributed on the third day after its listing, the work enthusiasm of thousands of Cisco employees was completely aroused!

All employees of the company can hold option shares. When Alice came to the company for a decision six months ago, it can be said that no company has ever done such a thing. Options stocks are purchased at the internal price of the company rather than the secondary market price of the stock. This has always been a means for listed companies to gather talented employees, but none of them have to pay some price. All employees hold shares, and the bosses in the past would never be so generous!

So, when the dividends of a full hundreds of thousands of dollars are distributed to 1,000 people in every second, how can we not make everyone happy?

Although each person can only receive a few hundred yuan, according to the prices in the United States, this is also the monthly meal expenses for a bachelor, or even rent for the whole month!

It’s not a formal year-end dividend, but a simple premium!

"Hehehe, look at me, look at my screen!"

In Building 2, the company's new headquarters building, the office area of ​​the marketing department, the young employee Mien said happily: "Did you see this account? Haha, have you seen this account? I earn a week, I have a week...Oh!"

Bourbon, who was sitting next to him, put a kick on his chair: "Isn't it just a week's income? Can you still exchange it for a car loan? I really don't understand what you guy thinks, but he actually bought a Lamborghini to drive? Good guy, do you know that our boss doesn't have his own car yet?"

This sentence attracted a burst of laughter from colleagues around him. It was almost lunch break at noon, and most of the work was completed. Bryce looked up and said, "Hey, Meen, I see, you can give your Lamborghini to Alice. The first car in his life for a 16-year-old woman, she will definitely remember you, a handsome guy, for the rest of her life~"

With such a joke, Bourbon laughed. However, Mien, who had just graduated from UC, smiled awkwardly: "Actually, I really talked to the boss..."

"What!? Are you kidding?"

"Man, even the guys from the technical department want to see the boss from afar, rely on luck for a time. You, a little rookie who just joined our marketing department, talked to her!? Just kidding!"

"No kidding, what I said is true." Mien said seriously: "Didn't I graduate from UCL? Don't you know that our boss's father is a professor of history at this university?"

There was a small silence, and then Bonn spoke: "How could we know..."

Bryce sat in a distance and said happily: "It seems you are really interested in our big boss. So what are you talking about, what are the boss doing now?"

"Hey, how could it be so difficult?" Mien was reluctant, but just as he was trying to say something, he suddenly dialed his office phone number.

The act of assigning a phone to each employee is very redundant for other companies. But as a leading company in the Internet hardware industry, Cisco is of course more concerned about this than anyone else. Not only every employee has a phone, but everyone also has a complete list of internal phone numbers in the company. Cross-departmental communication is easy and can indeed contribute to the improvement of work efficiency.

But this also means that anyone may hang up the phone. Therefore, as a newcomer, Mian did not dare to neglect at all and immediately picked up the microphone.

"Hey, hello?"

The first greeting was followed by a moment of silence, the young man's strange expression, and the constant "yes, yes, yes" on his mouth.

Then, the phone hangs up.

"What's wrong, man," Bonn saw the newcomer's strange expression and asked in confusion: "It's not that your mother is sick, right?"

"Well, what are you talking about?" Meen's young face tried hard to hide his smug smile, but he was very unsuccessful: "Boss, that's right, Bonn, our big boss Alice suddenly called me and asked me to book a flight ticket to Hong Kong for her and her family!"
