Although Nasdaq only requires 3 market makers, Feng Yu still found a few more market makers.
This was because the more market makers there were, the easier it would be to set up a bidding system. This way, the difference between buying and selling will be smaller, and the commission will be lower. This will lower the transaction cost. This was one of the main costs of getting listed.
Also, the prices of the shares will be more market-oriented and accurate. If there are too few market makers, and they play tricks with each other to raise your share price, you will have to pay a high price difference or commission. Then, you will be the one suffering losses when the share price suddenly soars, and this has never happened before.
This time, the market makers Feng Yu found were Barclays, Goldman Sachs, Citibank, Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo, etc. These were the top market makers in the US. Any one of them had the ability to sell the Sixth Sense Company's shares at a high price.
Feng Yu first approached Citibank through Hong Kong's Citibank. The person in charge of Citibank looked at the Sixth Sense Company's financial reports and felt that the company's performance was much better than what they expected. This was a highly profitable company, and the share prices would surely shoot up after it was listed. The moment the share prices opened, it would be a pleasant surprise!
Feng Yu also noticed that Citibank had high hopes for the Sixth Sense Company. This boosted his confidence, and when he contacted Barclays and Goldman Sachs, he was more confident.
Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo, etc. are famous financial institutions in the US, and some other famous financial institutions came to look for him after Feng Yu got his men to spread the news.
These people did not look at the Sixth Sense Company's financial reports and proposals. They had heard that this company's major shareholder owns more than 15% of Microsoft's shares!
Although these shares were not sold to Kirilenko by the two founders, Kirilenko had bought these shares from the stock market at high prices. These shares do not have voting rights, but just these assets are enough to make Kirilenko look up to him.
Microsoft's current market value was more than 30 billion USD. That means this unknown Microsoft shareholder was a super tycoon with a net worth of more than 4.5 billion USD!
The representatives of those financial institutions also wanted to get to know this super tycoon. Being the market maker of the Sixth Sense was their way of expressing goodwill.
They believed that this tycoon must have more than one company. He must have other companies. When those companies were listed, they could ask them to act as market agents. That way, they would be able to earn more money. If they could cooperate in certain aspects, that would be even better.
But it's a pity that the people from these consortiums did not manage to negotiate with Feng Yu. They thought that their sincerity was enough, so they sent the bosses on the surface. However, Feng Yu knew that these people on the surface were not the real bosses. Feng Yu also disdained to talk business with these people.
If he wanted to talk, he should talk to the real boss. These people were just part-time workers. Their status in the consortium was not even as high as Masao Kameda's status in the Sixth Sense Company. On the surface, he had decision-making power, but in reality, he could step down at any time!
Feng Yu wanted to speak to Bill Gates. After all, Bill Gates was the third biggest shareholder of Microsoft. How can he not have any say in the decisions?
They had met once before. It was when Feng Yu bought Microsoft's shares crazily. As long as someone was selling, Feng Yu would buy at any price. He firmly believes that Microsoft's share prices will continue to rise.
No matter how much Feng Yu bought the shares, Microsoft's share prices will continue to rise. This year, the share prices will rise even faster. Microsoft will be splitting its shares again.
This was because after Win95 was introduced into the market, it will bring high profits to Microsoft. Although Microsoft had not monopolized the operating system, and there were still Apple, IBM, and other companies competing with them, Microsoft's operating system was the easiest and most convenient. Most importantly, Microsoft had signed contracts with many PC manufacturers, and these PCs will be installed with the original Microsoft operating system. Microsoft can see the profits from this!
Feng Yu will not sell his Microsoft shares now. All his profits and liquid funds had been invested into Microsoft. With the share prices rising, Feng Yu's net worth had been increasing.
Feng Yu was never worried that Microsoft's share prices would fall. Even if there was a drop in the short term, it will recover quickly. Looking at the month, Feng Yu will realize that Microsoft's share prices had been rising, and Feng Yu was making money.
There were many other shares that were rising faster than Microsoft. Even in Hong Kong and China, there were many shares that were rising faster than Microsoft in the short term. But those shares were not sustainable, and Feng Yu had to keep an eye on them. As for Microsoft shares, Feng Yu does not need to worry.
Also, Microsoft shares were one of Feng Yu's most important assets in the US in the future. This will increase his status in the eyes of the US businessmen.
When the Sixth Sense Group was looking for the market makers, they could tell that Feng Yu had only spread the news. They could not verify the authenticity of the news, but they chose to believe it.
Even if the news was fake, they did not suffer any losses. As market makers, they could still make money. If the news was real, they could befriend a tycoon, and they could make more money in the future.
… …
Masao Kameda was sitting beside Feng Yu nervously. "General Manager Feng, what do you think the opening price of our shares will be? Will it be more than 10% higher than the IPO price? "
Feng Yu rolled his eyes at Masao Kameda. "10%? You are belittling those market makers. None of the shares they sold had increased less than 13% from the IPO price. Our Sixth Sense Group's shares are issued by so many big companies. You can dream bigger. "
With Feng Yu's encouragement, Masao Kameda asked cautiously. "15%?"
Feng Yu shook his head. Masao Kameda was slightly disappointed. He had thought too much. 13% is also good. But Feng Yu continued to say. "How can 15% be enough? Before the opening of the market, they will go through multiple rounds of inquiries. They will also ask their companies to communicate with each other to ensure the prices are accurate. I estimate the opening price will increase by at least 20%! "
Masao Kameda was shocked. "How much? 20% increase at the opening of the market? This is impossible. Isn't this a figure that only those tech companies can achieve? "
Feng Yu patted Masao Kameda's shoulder. "I have always made the impossible possible. You, just wait and see. "
