[PS: Many readers said that this plot is too YY. That's not right. Most of the audience won't change theaters because of the vote. But take note that there was only one such movie theater in a city. The entire city was filled with people who loved to complain and watch movies. They could easily fill up the entire movie theater!
As for writing a review after watching a movie, if you can write a review after reading a novel, why can't you write a review after watching a movie? Aren't the comments on Douban all about comments after watching a movie?]
Let's move back to February 1997. After the press conference of the Beijing International Film Festival, Boss Jia rushed to New York. Daqian Entertainment took care of the rest. Boss Jia didn't have to worry about it. The most important task was to get 51 Search listed.
After various preparations, 51 Search was finally listed on February 28, 1997. Everyone on Wall Street was curiously looking at 51 Search. They wanted to know how much this company would be listed and how much market value it would gain in the end.
[PS: Well, this is NASDAQ in another world. It's different from reality. Please forgive me.]
For the people in the market, they wouldn't know until the final announcement. But for Boss Jia and Goldie, it was no secret. After all, the listed company set the price itself.
You can set the price very high or very low. But if you set the wrong price, you may face a sudden break or increase several times in an instant. This wasn't a good thing for a listed company.
The former would put pressure on the company when it was just starting out. The latter would cause the company to lose a lot of money.
"Boss, isn't the price we set too high?" Goldie swallowed his saliva when he saw Boss Jia personally raised the initial price.
"Why? Is the price very high?"
"Of course!" Goldie nodded. According to 51 Search's listing plan, 51 Search's shares would be divided into 1 billion shares on average. Among them, 500 million shares would be in circulation, which was equivalent to 50% of the total shares.
The 50% shares were split equally between Goldie, Jelde, and Boss Jia. In other words, Boss Jia had 40% of the shares while Goldie and Jelde had 5% each.
This time, 51Search's stock price was set at 10 USD per share. In other words, 51Search could receive up to 5 billion USD of financing and become a company with a market value of 10 billion USD. They would be ranked among the top 200 companies on the Nasdaq.
"Boss, Yahoo's market value has just exceeded 7 billion USD!" Goldie couldn't help but say.
"Even a trashy company like Yahoo can be worth 7 billion USD. Why can't 51 be worth 10 billion USD?" Boss Jia looked at Xiao Huang with disappointment.
"But Yahoo is profitable, but we are not!" Goldie said.
"That's right. If we are profitable, our market value will be at least 50 billion USD!" Boss Jia said happily.
"That's right. It will be so embarrassing if our stock price drops as soon as we are listed!" Xiaohuang rolled his eyes and said, "The agent told me again and again that the price was too high and that it would definitely break the record. Moreover, it might even drop by more than 100% in an instant. It would become the biggest joke in recent years!"
"That's because they are too cowardly!" Boss Jia knocked on Goldie's head and laughed. "How about this? I will guarantee you. If your stock price drops, I will take all the losses. But if you make any profit, it will be mine! "
"Okay …" Goldie instinctively wanted to agree, but after thinking about it, he realized that something wasn't right. Jia Yapeng was such a treacherous guy, how could he do something like this? There had to be something fishy going on, could it be …
Just as Goldie's thoughts were running wild, there was a knock on the office door. Goldie's secretary walked in and said anxiously, "President, bad news! The media has exposed that PeopleLove is the website of 51 Search!"
"What?!" Goldie's expression changed and he stood up immediately.
"It's over. It's over. The stock price is going to plummet!" Goldie shouted anxiously in the room. "It's over. I don't have the face to see anyone. If my mother knows that I created a porn website, she will kill me!"
Goldie's whole body went limp in an instant.
"Look at you!" Boss Jia snorted, and Goldie seemed to have seen a life-saving straw. His chubby body suddenly rushed to Boss Jia's side, and then he begged, "Boss, you are the smartest person in the world, and also the world's most famous marketing master. You must know how to suppress this news, right?!"
"Do you think it's so easy to suppress this news?" Boss Jia snorted and said, "This news didn't come out at any other time. It's obvious that someone wants to suppress our stock price when we are listed."
"Most of these people are Wall Street bastards. They are all wolves. Once they bite a piece of meat, they won't let go. Besides, PeopleLove is indeed your website. It's registered under your name. We both have shares in it. It's clearly written in the registration of the Ministry of Commerce. You can't deny it! If you deny it, things will only get worse! "
"Besides, why are you so anxious about this? Although your reputation will be damaged if this news gets out, it is still legal in the US. But color websites are legal in the US. As long as we don't publish it publicly and only publish it on the website, there won't be any legal risks. So PeopleLove won't be in any danger. Why are you so anxious? " Boss Jia touched his nose and said, "How about this? You represent the company and make an announcement. Say that PeopleLove is indeed your company. Don't do things secretly. Why can't you do it openly? We didn't do anything illegal! "
"Oh …" Goldie agreed in confusion. Then he thought of something and quickly said, "The issue price hasn't been officially announced to the public yet. It hasn't been confirmed on Nasdaq either. Let's change the issue price quickly. 100 USD is out of the question. Even 50 USD is a blessing from God!"
"Well, fortunately, the issue price hasn't been announced yet. Let's change the issue price from 100 USD to 120 USD per share!" Boss Jia licked his lips and said.
"Why?" Goldie was stunned.
"Nonsense. Because in the past, shareholders only bought 51 USD shares. But now, they are buying two websites' shares. Of course, they have to raise the price!"
