With the lapse of time, in the NASDAQ exchange hall has been fully occupied, the atmosphere even more is also fiery.
The management and staff and Morgan Stanley Yahoo Corporation selling on consignment team, participates in the honored guest, the media reporter as well as the exchange that staff from world attended the ceremony the entire hall pushes just likes one box of sardine canned food, all people have to request hoarsely the personal maidservant resigns the crevice, can force to move the step in the crowded hall.
Several in exchange publicize on the screen to roll to broadcast the financial news of North America major television channels about Yahoo listing information, but sound completely all around covers noisily, just likes silent dumb shows.
Close to nine o'clock, because chaos in hall, NASDAQ group CEO Frank Szabo has to lead one group of staff to act to keep the scene order personally. After ten minutes, Yahoo CEO Ian Gonul can go through the crowd, arrives at the media telecast hall publication listing speech.
Meanwhile, Eric, Chris and Steve Mitnick and Tina Brown as well as the other core high levels of Firefly system also start to gather to the onstage, prepare nine 30 minute's of striking a gong ceremonies.
Because the earliest stock transaction completely is all the manual operation, then enterprise management will go on the market in the company will sound the ding to announce that on the same day the stock of this company formally started to trade. After a development of more than century, the striking a gong ceremony turned has pressed down the start button of electronic transaction platform.
Also several minutes later, Ian Gonul gives the listing speech to arrive on the stage similarly, the clock in hall crosses 9.2 15.
The personnel arrive in full, inside and outside exchange under the close attention of innumerable eyes, Eric has given the brief speech, immediately with the surrounding other people together, presses down the red-orange button that the transaction started.
This moment that the push-button presses down, in the hall resounds already to prepare the good salute sound immediately, the crowd spontaneously applauds to cheer, on all around large screen rolls to disseminate news the news several media completely the people on live transmission scene alignment tool.
Outside the exchange, close to the building open-air huge screen of Times Square on, presented Eric and the others similarly the picture feature articles, at this moment, on the stage more than ten core members of Firefly system have become the absolute being a focus of public attention focal point.
Although was brought on stage by Eric, Cindy Crawford and Linda when Evangelista in the striking a gong ceremony carries on, very much on own initiative stood behind the crowd.
At this time, is feeling the surrounding fiery atmosphere, even if sees the magnesium lamp very much long time ago, two females inexplicably have had also some cramped feelings. Cindy understands that this probably is the strength of wealth, some Linda of getting muddled look at Eric to take the lead to start to step down the striking a gong ceremony ritual stage, is having the polite smiling face, the puppet follows the crowd generally slowly downward.
Quick that the striking a gong ceremony as if starts, conclusion is also quick, but, in the exchange hall actually nobody leaves afterward, Eric and the others have not treated again in the hall, but changed to the building to be able the big conference room in bird's eye view entire exchange hall.
Until enters the spacious conference room, the Linda mind restores.
The men encircle by meeting table start to rest to chat, Cindy does not have any scruples and Tina Brown as well as Amy Pascal they move toward the glass curtain wall, looked together to below hall, Linda looked at the Eric form, some want to collect, but together arrived at the curtain wall with Cindy several people.
Finally before remembering itself , the brains somewhat gave off heat have subscribed the 1.5 million stock Yahoo stock, looks in the hall the bustling crowd, Linda has hesitated a while, asked Tina Brown: „Then?”
Tina Brown had not replied with enough time that the crowd under hall starts some obvious tumults the attention as centralized as a stock price monitor on, some people also greatly shout: „Fell, - 2.6%.”
Linda small heart one tight, subconsciousness looked at the past, somewhat blurry has identified the moment, although she stock knowledge were not many, good, basically was the financial idiot, but recognized, that should not be the Yahoo stock. The Yahoo stock transaction code is YHOO, this she knows. On that stock price monitor falls 2.6% stock symbols is actually AOL, several other present the stock symbol that the varying degrees fall similarly is not YHOO.
However, AOL, AOL.
This resembles, is his company?
As if not right, he few days ago just sold out the AOL stock.
Then, what situation now is this?
In the Linda heart has doubts, her nearby Tina Brown explained at this time on own initiative to several other females: „These are the Yahoo similar Internet media stock, AOL are because wants to develop an Internet media company, presented the conflict with the Yahoo service, Eric gave up this company. Market share of Yahoo in profession is biggest, therefore its listing directly caused the similar Internet media stock stock price whole to lower.”
Moreover one side, Cindy asked curiously: „This, that will Yahoo be implicated?”
„This,” Tina shakes the head, the expression somewhat disturbedly said similarly: „No one can determine.”
Several women and are worried that a moment later, Linda also low voice asked: „Now, what Yahoo is making, started to trade?”
Tina shakes the head, explained: „In the inquiry, this process is taking two hours probably, passed 11 o'clock officially to trade.”
Linda has hesitated, pursues asks: „What is the inquiry?”
Tina said patiently: „Is the exchange the intention bargain price that gives according to from all over the world the sellers and buyers, the official opening price of definite stock.”
Linda said: „I have also subscribed some stocks, that said that I can also participate, um, inquiry?”
„Yes,” on the Tina face is having the smile, said: „You can telephone to your stock manager now, making him submit to sell the price.”
Linda moves on some meanings immediately, thought one can attend a big matter, somewhat is at heart small excitedly.
Un, must offer a very high price.
Does not know that 100 USD are good?
The small hands just about to search in the satchel to fish out the cell phone, but, notes nearby Cindy to show the whites of the eyes toward oneself, she has cancelled immediately this thought that but gratefully stared.
Although the stock subscriber of Yahoo IPO stage to the global investor, but also is not anybody can buy up, but has the subscriber threshold limit of lowest 100,000 stock.
According to the average 33 USD offer prices, the value of 100,000 stock stock is 3 300,000 USD. This sum of money regarding large scale investment fund, even if Linda such rich person investor, seems not anything. But regarding global millions investment institutions and single-handedly the investor, 3 300,000 USD, most people cannot bear.
Including 22 500,000 stocks green shoes options, the 100 million 72 500,000 stock stocks of Yahoo release, the investment institution quantity of finally subscribing are also less than 300.
Middle-and-small investment institution, in own ability as well as in the risk consideration range, often can only buy up tens of thousands even several thousand, the buying up ability of individual investor is lower.
However, because the huge base numbers of these middle-and-small investment communities, a current release stock, in the populace invest the demand quantity in community often to be higher than its IPO definite stock issue quantity, in the event of the condition of falling short of demand, the stock price will present the large promotion inevitably. Therefore, the new stock in listing on the same day, the opening price will be much higher than the wholesale price.
Waited for patiently a half hour, below exchange hall presents the tumult finally again.
Several women stop to chat, looked at the past together.
On a stock price display monitor, presented Yahoo several most basic information first.
Symbol: YHOO \; Stock issue price: 33.00 USD \; New stock circulation number: 150,000,000.
Afterward, display monitor behind showed that the check shines, presented two groups of figures: 41.0043.00.
Although in the heart has judged, but Linda some too cannot determine.
Realized that a pair of hand unknowingly from behind holds in the arms own waist, the familiar aura transmits, Linda has turned head, discovered that Eric and the others also arrive at the glass curtain wall.
Some time ago in the hall, Linda noted, here was not the unidirectional glass, their several women stood in the forefront, Eric are hugging themselves at this time, was very easily by the following person, even also kept the reporter in hall to see.
Body stiff, but Linda quick to behind depends.
In any case, he does not care, does a oneself concubine, tube that many do.
But clearly, the crowd in exchange does not have the energy to pay attention to near two building curtain walls these people obviously, looks two groups of glowing red digit that on the display monitor is making, after the moment is silent, in the hall burst into a warm applause and cheers immediately.
Sees downstairs people's responses, Linda determines finally that near cheeks micro side gathering man ear: „Eric, this is the opening price, did not say that takes two hours, but, rose many?”
Eric smiled has been kissing on the woman cheeks, shook the head saying: „It is not, this is only the first round inquiry, will then also continue.”
Linda is feeling the kiss of Eric, shrank under the neck. Also cannot bear look to downstairs monitor: Even if defers to 41 USD to calculate, that 1.5 million stock stock that oneself purchase, has gained, um, um.
Although has not calculated, but obviously is many.
Is thinking these, Linda also in a low voice asked: „Eric, the following inquiry, the stock price should upward walk?”
Eric is supporting the bosom woman, looks to the under hall, has not given the affirmative reply, but said: „This need looks at the next round inquiry result, can determine the price trend.”
The first round inquiry, the Yahoo stock price has risen sharply 24% based on offer price.
Although the following price trend somewhat is anxious, what can determine, Yahoo will go on the market the first date not to present in the original space and time Faceb 00 k broke the wholesale price directly ‚tragedy’ absolutely. However, thinks that Faceb 00 k, Eric changes all around, found Steve Mitnick, said: „Steve, does the technology team also defend that side the engine room?”
Except that Faceb 00 k in Eric memory, the NASDAQ exchange was established since 1971, truly has not presented a company to go on the market on the same day the dog blood event of bitter experience system down, Steve Mitnick also thought at heart actually Eric somewhat has groundless fears. However, in his bone actually is also a discrete person, is feeling this time excellent situation, he nods, said: „I had a look in the past.”
Waits for Steve the Mitnick form leaves, Eric once more changes below hall the vision.
The first round inquiry time-consuming was long, has spent for a half hour.
However, the following inquiry time was shortened.
After 15 minutes, on the monitor in exchange hall presented the second round inquiry result.
46.0049.00.
Compared with just the minimum offers of 41 USD, at this time the minimum offers of 46 USD, directly raised 39% in the wholesale price foundation the Yahoo stock price, this is rises suddenly.
Before then, the Yahoo team went on the market the stock price of first date to be boldest regarding the company anticipated is also only about 40% increase scopes, but was only the second round inquiry, announced the forecast data that the Yahoo team earlier period made became invalid completely.
However, does not have on any face to show the disappointed expression on the spot, in hall the applause and cheers, stands Ian near glass curtain wall Gonul, Tina Brown as well as Katzenberg and John Chambers and Jeff Beizuosi, Victor Maikenai, Amy Pascal and other Firefly system all core high levels also cannot help but applaud.
Everybody understands, in foundation that in the first round inquiry rises sharply, the result of second round inquiry, will represent the following several rounds inquiry Yahoo stock price trends only high not to be low.
Following matter development, not only within the expectation of people, but has stemmed from the expectations of all people obviously.
In surroundings stimulated and fiery atmosphere, the time already passes is slow and fast.
After the 10 : 15 second round inquiry result comes out, ten 30 minutes, the third round inquiry result comes out quickly.
49.0051.00.
.
The fourth round: 53.0057.00.
The fifth round: 56.0059.00.
The sixth round: 61.0065.00.
Finally, 11 30 minutes, the seventh round, is the last round inquiry result appears on the big silver screen, all people fell into a shock and in the middle of the alienation mood.
67.0069.00.
After the crowd in exchange hall bursts into an applause and cheers once more, the Yahoo Corporation representative and Morgan Stanley team start to act according to the last round inquiry result emergency discussion final opening price, to guarantee absolutely safe, the heads of NASDAQ marketing department also announced to the people, after the official opening price time will retard to a half hour, is at exactly 12 : 00 pm.
In the conference rooms in two buildings, has accepted the scene attending the ceremony honored guest and NASDAQ high-level congratulation, except for Ian Gonul several people, Eric one line have not left this conference room , to continue to defend near the curtain wall waits for the final time patiently.
Finally, when the Yahoo stock at 68.50 USD opening prices, and rushes to 70.29 USD top digits instantaneously.
70.29 USD, to the wholesale price, rise suddenly 113%.
The Yahoo market value therefore has also achieved terror 88 200 million USD in the flash.
Soaring.
Looked to seethe with excitement a NASDAQ exchange hall, Eric deeply inspired, puts out a hand to pat bosom same moving fast some Linda: „Nà, hurries to give you stock manager to telephone, clearance.”
„Does not want.” Although by in the Eric bosom, Linda subconsciously holds up the small hand to protect before the body, must be captured the little girl of foreign-style doll likely, small stock fan who also or fell into the insanity: „Also can rise.”
