Chapter 171 ICQ Nasdaq Listing

March 28.

Washington, Nasdaq Stock Exchange.

Today, three new shares will be listed, namely ICQ, Ford Laurie Software, and Aussie Pharma. Among them, ICQ, which has achieved hundreds of millions of users worldwide, is the most eye-catching.

As early as a few months ago, when ICQ announced its listing plan, it attracted the attention of hundreds of media and newspapers across the United States. Countless American investors were eagerly waiting, hoping to witness another "Internet myth". rise.

In fact, it is not that easy to list a company on Nasdaq!

It needs to meet a lot of requirements.

For example, the number of shareholders must be higher than 300.

For this necessary condition, ICQ company was of course not satisfied at the beginning of the period.

However this is not a big deal.

For ICQ, which currently has more than 2,000 employees worldwide, it is easy to meet the minimum requirement of 300 shareholders by purchasing relevant equity shares for internal employees.

The founding team such as Wesger, as well as the board shareholders such as Zucker, Amazon, Goldman Sachs, News Corporation, etc., correspondingly allocated a portion of the shares for the share quota of internal employees.

Zucker's stake in ICQ, diluted again, is now 11.2%.

Don't be too little. Zhu Ke, who holds 11.2% of the shares, is still a major shareholder of ICQ.

today!

On this big day when ICQ was listed on Nasdaq, ICQ's major shareholders and representatives of investment institutions came to the scene one after another, and the bell of listing was rang at 9:30.

"Zuke, I heard that you are a director again. Are you going to start a new film?"

Before 9:30, Bezos chatted with Zucker.

"Huh? You actually know!" Zhu Ke was stunned.

Hearing this, Bezos curled his lips and said, "Please, man. Don't you watch the news these days? All the major media and newspapers on the West Coast of the United States have reports, okay?"

"That's it." Zucker understood immediately.

In fact, Zucker still underestimated his current influence!

Who is Zucker?

He is only 21 years old. In just 3 years, he has built a media group from scratch and is a super rich man with a net worth of over 1 billion US dollars. And its subsidiary, Wald Pictures, has produced good films one after another; UPN TV network is also not bad. In addition to owning related copyrights such as "SpongeBob SquarePants" and "America's Got Talent", the recently launched WWE wrestling competition has also attracted a lot of attention. The eyes of a large audience.

Young, rich, self-made...

It is rude to say that Zucker is now the top traffic among the rich group!

Everything is very attractive to those young people with dreams!

How can the media reporters who are not offline and disciplined give up the top traffic of Zucker?

"That's right!"

Zhu Ke said calmly: "I'm different from other rich people. Some of them like to be surrounded by beautiful women, some like to show off their wealth, and some like to buy islands, villas, and luxury cars. These are their hobbies."

"Oh?"

Bei bald head teased: "Your hobby is making movies? Then how do you explain that there are often different women around you?"

MMP!

"Mind your own business, man. When you get divorced, I'll open a bottle of wine to celebrate for you." The dark-faced Zucker immediately uttered the most vicious curse.

Bei's bald head didn't take it seriously either.

However, he never imagined that in a certain year in the future, when he really got divorced, Zucker didn't break his promise, and in front of him, he opened a bottle of red wine worth a million dollars to celebrate.

......

"Hi, Zucker. It must be a big day!"

ICQ founder and chairman Wesger walked up to Zucker and immediately gave him a bear hug.

"Yeah, today is very important." Zucker said dismissively.

What to wear?

At this moment, in the eyes of outsiders, Zucker and Wesger are like-minded good friends, good comrades-in-arms who create a great situation for icq together!

However!

The entire ICQ executives and board representatives knew that Zucker and Wisger had long been incompatible.

The two have quarreled more than once on ICQ's development model, unit operation and diversification issues, and equity issues!

Major shareholders of Goldman Sachs, News Corp, Sequoia Capital and other companies are also happy to see this.

The bigger the company, the more internal contradictions, this is inevitable!

Of course, in front of outsiders, especially media reporters, both Zucker and Wisger tried their best to play the image of good brothers and good comrades-in-arms.

Fake rich people!

"Congratulations, I believe ICQ will create a miracle!" The representative of the Nasdaq exchange exclaimed.

"Mr. Wald, Mr. Wisger, you have created a myth of wealth."

"you do not say!"

"What is Cisco? What is Microsoft? What is Amazon? Everything depends on ICQ!"

"That's right! ICQ instant messaging software has hundreds of millions of users worldwide. How many Internet companies can own this incomparably huge number?"

The other witnesses around also sent compliments one after another.

"Boom~~!"

At 9:30, when the NASDAQ opened, Wisger, the chairman and founder of ICQ, rang the bell for listing on the NASDAQ on behalf of ICQ.

A piece of green!

(The green line in the U.S. stock market represents more bulls and less bears, representing growth.)

The issue price per share of Icq was $39, but it soared to $52 as soon as the market opened!

It can be said that the rise is amazing!

After a whole day, ICQ's stock fluctuated, but the overall rally was gratifying, with a peak of $109 on the day and a closing price of $92.

In just one day, the market value of ICQ has reached 6 billion US dollars!

Well, it is not known how many times higher than the value in the original time and space.

......

the next day.

When Zucker appeared on the set of "The Tuner", he received a compliment.

"Congratulations, Mr. Wald. Your investment has definitely made a big profit."

Paul Walker said excitedly.

The news that Zhu Ke invested only US$8 million in the angel round, A round, and B round in the ICQ project was exposed by many media reporters with the listing of ICQ.

Especially the Global Times!

The Global Times published Zucker's investment myth directly on the front page, claiming: "Zuck Wald, the new leader of American enterprise value investors!"

Immediately, there was an uproar.

You know, only the ICQ shares currently held by Zucker are worth $6.7 billion! This wealth has already surpassed many established family businesses that have been rooted in the United States for decades. Moreover, it is certain that this number will increase a lot in the next month.

For a time, Zucker made a big splash again!

Countless young men and women in America regard it as an idol in their lives.

Zu Ke was naturally in a good mood, and immediately decided to expand the security team around him again.
