Chapter 229 Microsoft goes public, raising $2.5 billion!
Black people were racially discriminated against, and many people would resist, and even in the early years there were leaders of the black civil rights movement like Martin Luther King.
When Chinese people are racially discriminated against, they often swallow their anger.
Li Zetian has always been the pride of Chinese people, and even the leader of Chinese people.
Under his influence, the identity of Chinese people has been improved, but deep-rooted racial discrimination has not been eliminated. Whether in the UK or the United States, Chinese people can often be seen being insulted and satirized by white people or even black people.
This time, Li Zetian was firm in the Sun's attitude towards him and had to ask the Sun to stop publishing! Otherwise, he would not give up!!!
This is not only an insult to him, but also an insult to the Chinese.
"The black people have Martin Luther King, and the Chinese people have me, Li Zetian!" Li Zetian said to himself in his heart.
In this world, if Li Zetian doesn’t stand up for the Chinese, who else is willing to stand up for the Chinese?
Li Zetian, the leader of the Chinese People's Rights Movement, takes the initiative!!!
In order to punish the Sun and prevent the world from underestimating the Chinese, Li Zetian used a lot of resources to severely attack Murdoch's News Group!
So Murdoch chose to surrender.
News Group can’t afford to offend the powerful Li Zetian now!
After the racial discrimination incident in The Sun, the whole world saw the power of Chinese people, and at the same time it inspired Chinese morale and confidence, allowing them to stand up in front of white people!
The road is long and arduous, and I will search up and down!
It is true that there is a long way to go, but Li Zetian has no choice but to do so!
The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!
...
A week later, the racial discrimination storm among Chinese began to subside.
On June 1st, this day happened to be Xiao Youran's second birthday. Microsoft chose to go public today, just to ask Geely. I hope Microsoft will achieve great success in its listing!
Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu took Xiao Youran to Nasdaq. While ringing the bell, they celebrated Xiao Youran's birthday, allowing her to have an unforgettable birthday. When recalling it, they will be full of happiness. On such an important day, Xiao Youran must dress up beautifully. She wore a beautiful birthday hat on her head, a white princess dress on her body, and a pair of crystal shoes on her feet. She was so cute!
Bill Gates, Paul Allen, and Gary Kildale arrived at Nasdaq one step ahead of the Li Zetian family.
Seeing that Li Zetian and the others were coming, they immediately stepped forward to greet them.
When Li Zetian saw their faces, he was filled with excitement and joy.
"mr·li,mrs·li You are here! Oh, by the way, and the cute little Youran, today is also your birthday!!!" Bill Gates said with a smile.
"Hello Uncle Bill!"
Xiao Youran shouted politely, because of the listing of Microsoft, Bill Gates has been to Li Zetian's house several times recently, and Xiao Youran naturally recognized him. Paul Allen and Gary Kildale, but Xiao Youran didn't know her. Of course, they visited her when Xiao Youran was in full moon.
The two of them also greeted Li Zetian and Yu Jingqiu.
Li Zetian responded with a smile and immediately introduced them to Xiao Youran.
Xiao Youran was very sensible and obedient and shouted "Uncle Paul" and "Uncle Gary" to them respectively.
In addition, Microsoft's lead underwriters Goldman Sachs Group, Citibank, Chase Bank and HSBC all sent important directors to support them.
The Nasdaq opening time is 9:30 am in the Eastern United States. The time is approaching, and everyone is extremely excited and very nervous.
Li Zetian looked at Bill Gates and smiled with emotion: "Time flies so fast. In a blink of an eye, it's almost 10 years. However, I still remember the scene when we went to Harvard University. At present, Microsoft is finally going to go public, but fortunately it has not disappointed my promise to you back then. I said that I will definitely bring you to Nasdaq to ring the bell, and today it finally came true!!!"
Bill Gates nodded, and was also deeply moved. When he first entered university, he dreamed of inheriting his father's business as a lawyer, or a mathematician, or a teacher, but he never thought of becoming a CEO with a market value of 10 billion US dollars. Now, his net worth is more than 1 billion US dollars, much richer than his grandfather, a big banker! The reason why his fate has changed so greatly is all due to the legendary genius in front of him.
Bill Gates couldn't help but think that if he hadn't known chronos li, maybe he was still pursuing a doctorate degree in a certain university and living an ordinary life...
"The last minute is left, please prepare!" a person in charge of Nasdaq reminded.
Li Zetian and others picked up the red hammers one after another, and even Xiao Youran was no exception, but she took a small one.
Not far away, the cameraman was already in his seat.
10 seconds countdown starts, 10, 9, 8,…4, 3, 2, 1, 0!!!
"Bang!"
Everyone waved their hands excitedly and rang the bell!
At this moment, Microsoft officially listed on Nasdaq!
Kick!
The reporters' flashing lights flashed non-stop.
...
Microsoft iPo, released 100 million shares, accounting for 20% of the total share capital, with an issue price of US$25 per share, that is, before its listing, Microsoft's valuation reached US$12.5 billion.
Generally speaking, it is already very impressive for companies that have a market value of one or two billion US dollars for the first time. The amount of financing = issue price * number of stocks. If 20% of the stock is issued, they can raise 200 million US dollars.
Before Microsoft went public, its market value assessment exceeded 10 billion US dollars, which is extremely rare among listed companies. Therefore, the amount of financing for Microsoft this time was US$2.5 billion!!!
At this moment, Microsoft's stocks were rushed to be bought by investors and their stock prices soared.
"Damn it, Microsoft's stock price is rising so fast, I have to buy more!"
"Chronos·li's company, no, must have a future of development, and the stock will appreciate in the future!"
“…”
Microsoft is sought after by investors. As the first listed company under Li Zetian, many people are very optimistic about its development potential. Within an hour, the stock price rose by $2.4. At noon, Microsoft's stock price exceeded $30!
Li Zetian, Bill Gates and others were eating cakes in the restaurant opposite the Nasdaq outdoor huge display board while paying attention to the news about Microsoft's stocks.
"Chronos, Microsoft's market value has reached US$15 billion!!!" Bill Gates said excitedly.
Li Zetian smiled. He was much calmer than Bill Gates, and smiled and said, "Looking at the situation, the stock price will continue to rise, but it is difficult to break through $20 billion."
"Oh, it's a bit difficult," Bill Gates nodded, "There are not too many users using personal computers now, and Microsoft's sales are limited... However, with the popularity of personal computers, Microsoft's market value will naturally explode!"
"Yes!"
In the afternoon, Microsoft stocks were still singing all the way. At two o'clock, the stock price rose to $34.5 per share.
"I'll go, Microsoft's stock price has risen so strongly, it has no intention of weakening at all!"
"Excuse me!!! Will Microsoft's market value exceed $20 billion?"
“…”
At the close of the day, it was indeed beyond Li Zetian's expectations. Microsoft's market value actually reached US$21.05 billion!
"The stock price has risen too quickly, from $25 to more than $40. It can only be said that the investors are too enthusiastic!" Li Zetian couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
Chapter completed!
