Masao Kameda was standing in front of the stage, wearing a smart suit. His hair was combed neatly, and he was speaking to the reporters.
This was a basic listing ceremony. The main purpose of the ceremony was to talk about the company's future development plans and profitability. This was to let the buyers believe that they will make money if they buy the company's shares.
Masao Kameda was speaking in English, and Feng Yu was sitting in a corner with a glass of champagne. Feng Yu had also passed the speech to Masao Kameda, and this made Masao Kameda even more excited.
But Kameda Masao seems to be superstitious or likes to get lucky. That's why he is wearing a green shirt and a green tie. He also has a green handkerchief in his suit pocket. The reporters below are all wearing green ties, and some are even wearing green hats.
Feng Yu had a complicated look on his face. Anyway, there was no sign of green on him. Of course, they were not wearing red, which was considered a taboo.
In the US stock market, green means rising, and red means falling. It was the same as the traffic lights.
Feng Yu did not expect people in the US to like lucky colors. Masao Kameda even said green was his lucky color, and Feng Yu did not agree.
But in his previous life, when Feng Yu was still in China, he had seen the company's top management wearing red suits, ties, shirts, leather shoes, and even red socks and red underwear before the company got listed. Feng Yu did not know what the others were thinking, but he felt dizzy when he saw it.
To Feng Yu, the stock market's rise had nothing to do with the color of one's clothes. It was about the company's financial report and the amount of good news. No matter how festive one's clothes were, if the company and the industry were not doing well, the stock would still fall after it was listed.
Some companies might even be delisted from the stock market!
Masao Kameda was eloquent, and he had prepared well for today's speech. He even included a few humorous jokes in his speech, and the atmosphere was good.
After Masao Kameda finished his speech, he was invited by Nasdaq to ring the opening bell.
From this year onwards, the NYSE started to invite some special guests to ring the opening bell, and Nasdaq had also learned to do this. The people who had rung the bell were all managers of the exchange, so there was no special meaning behind it.
When some special guests rang the bell, it would be reported by the TV station. This was also a kind of publicity. Since then, many company bosses had taken pride in ringing the bell.
What was a special guest? They were the representatives of the big companies that were going to be listed on that day. Usually, they were the company's chairman, legal representative, or something like that.
The ringing of the Nasdaq bell was handed over to Masao Kameda of the Sixth Sense Company. As usual, Feng Yu did not make an appearance to avoid being reported by the media.
Masao Kameda stood in front of the clock. He felt that this was the greatest achievement of his life. It was an incomparable honor. Just look at the people who had rung the bell before. Which one of them wasn't a millionaire?
As for him, he would continue this legend and become an object of envy in the eyes of the next generation.
Dong ~ ~ ~
When the bell rang, Feng Yu could not help but get excited. This was the first company to be listed in his life. No, it was the first company to be listed in both of his lives. He must not be disappointed.
Masao Kameda held onto the hammer tightly. At this moment, time seemed to have stopped.
Masao Kameda was woken up by the applause. Someone took the hammer away, and Masao Kameda took a deep breath. Let's wait for the opening price to be announced.
The ringing of the bell was only the opening of the stock market. It does not mean the trading will start immediately. The usual delay was around 15 minutes.
But when some big companies were listed, the delay would be longer. Some of the delays were more than an hour.
What was he doing during this period? It was the market maker making inquiries to see whose price was the highest and most reasonable. After repeated inquiries and discussions, the final opening price could be determined.
The Sixth Sense Company was the first sex toy company to be listed, and many people were interested in it. The market makers Feng Yu had hired were all top-notch, and many people were interested in it.
Generally, when a company is listed, everyone will compare the share prices of other companies in the same industry and the same size to measure the share price of this company.
But for the Sixth Sense Company, there was no comparison. There were no similar companies listed in the past. How were they going to compare?
Everyone could only look at the company's performance and future profitability. Of course, the brand of the market maker also had a huge impact.
But when Feng Yu had consulted the market, the response was very positive. Everyone was optimistic about the Sixth Sense Company's shares, and this was why Feng Yu was confident that the Sixth Sense Company's shares would rise by 20% when the market opened!
Masao Kameda was very nervous, and he kept talking to the people around him. He had wanted to talk to Feng Yu, but he saw Feng Yu shaking his head at him.
Masao Kameda knew Feng Yu does not like to appear in front of the camera, and he did not go over. He kept talking to the people around him to ease his nervousness.
Although Feng Yu had told him to be calm and not to worry, Masao Kameda was very nervous. But the opening price was still not released, and Masao Kameda was very anxious.

Warren Buffett contacted someone from Goldman Sachs. He had always been on good terms with Goldman Sachs, and he wanted to buy all the Sixth Sense Company's shares.
Who is Warren Buffett? He is the God of Stocks! He wants to buy all the shares, and that means the Sixth Sense Company's shares will surely rise!
There were a few types of shares that Warren Buffett will not invest in. The first type is the companies with high profits. Everyone will be curious. If the profits are high, that means the dividends will be high. Warren Buffett's answer was that if the profits are high, there will be new competitors. If the profits are not well prepared, the market share will be snatched away by others.
Now, the profits are high, and the financial reports will look good. Once the profits fall, the financial reports will look bad!
Warren Buffett will not buy risky stocks. He will also not buy monopolistic stocks. He will also not buy technology stocks. Actually, Warren Buffett likes to invest in industrial stocks. After that, he will become a shareholder of the company and enter the management team.
Warren Buffett hates technology stocks the most. This was because he does not understand the technology development of these companies and does not know their potential competitors. He does not know how to value these companies. In Feng Yu's previous life, the only technology stock that Warren Buffett bought was IBM. But he only bought it when IBM was lagging behind in innovation. Many people did not understand why.
Today, Warren Buffett wanted to buy the Sixth Sense Company's shares. This news was released by Gao Sheng, and it boosted everyone's confidence. This also caused the Sixth Sense Company's opening price to be uncertain as the price kept rising!
One hour and 10 minutes later, the Sixth Sense Company's opening price was announced … …
