Chapter 1076 (1/2)
Simon gave enough support to the performance of Guofeng Art Troupe, whether it was the top choreography auxiliary team, the luxury custom made costume props or the world-class concert venue of the New York Metropolitan Opera. But after the official opening, the market has the final say.
If the girls' performance is not recognized by the audience and the attendance rate is too low, it will end as soon as possible. Simon will never make any free tickets out of his own pocket.
In fact, Simon's inner attitude towards the public performance of Guofeng Art Troupe is that he likes to watch it or not, because he only planned to watch it in private, and he felt that he suffered a loss when he showed it to outsiders. As a result, except for people like Joseph schrap who asked for tickets last time, Simon would ask people to send out some tickets. The other tickets were sold by the Metropolitan Opera house itself.
However, because the hearsay of Guofeng Art Troupe as Simon westero's private song and dance troupe has been quietly spread, driven by curiosity, even after Simon's personal intervention, the ticket price of Guofeng Art Troupe's performance is much higher than that of other performances, which inevitably leads to the grand occasion that one ticket is hard to get for the first performance.
As for the next step, it still depends on the market feedback.
Although surrounded by a group of big goblins, Simon still didn't stay at the party for long. He only stayed for less than half an hour and left with a girl who had been here in the morning.
On the other hand, instagram's first day stock price trend is still eye-catching.
Thus, until 4 p.m., the North American stock market closed, and the final first day share price of instagram was fixed at a high of $27.61. Compared with the issue price of $11.50, the first day share price rose 141%, and the closing market value was as high as $17.1 billion. Compared with the valuation of $6 billion, the company's value increased by $10 billion in just one day.
Instagram's total share capital before its listing was 530 million shares, with D girl holding about 240 million shares, accounting for 45%.
In the past few years, according to whether she participated in the management, won the stock award and whether she participated in the subscription before the IPO and so on, the amount of shares she ultimately held was about 15 million shares.
On the other hand, in this IPO, a total of 90 million shares were issued, and the amount of financing was US $1.035 billion. Among them, 60 million shares were additional new shares, and the funds obtained will be used for the subsequent development of instagram. Another 30 million shares were cashed out by major shareholders, of which D girl occupied 5 million shares.
As a result, according to the $27.61 share price of instagram on the first day of listing, even after the IPO, D girl's shareholding in instagram has further dropped to 38%, and the former Uyghur maid's wealth has reached $6.5 billion, which is enough to make her into the top 20 of the 400 rich list in the United States.
As for the other six girls, they all broke through $400 million in a single day only with about 15 million shares in their hands. According to the $430 million threshold in this year's ”Forbes” list of the 400 richest people in the United States, they have basically entered the ranks of the 400 richest people in the United States.
This is the unparalleled wealth making ability of the Internet!
Stimulated by the big rise on the first day of instagram's listing, the one-day rise of the NASDAQ index finally reached 1.32%, and continued to rise to 5739 points, getting closer and closer to the threshold of 6000 points. The total market value of all stocks in the whole NASDAQ sector also reached a new high, reaching $6.7 trillion.
As a leading company, igritte's share price rose by 1.61% in a single day, with a closing market value of US $663.5 billion.
The market value of Cisco, which ranked second, exceeded $500 billion for the first time today, becoming the third big Mac with a market value of more than $500 billion in the U.S. stock market after igritte and Denise. It rose as high as 2.12% on the same day, with a closing market value of $511.3 billion.
It's just another day. With the rise of NASDAQ, Simon's personal wealth has increased by more than $30 billion again.
After the U.S. election in early November, the continuity of Washington's policy ensured a short-term positive for the market because of Clinton's re-election, but then the market began to shake because of Wall Street's worry about the collapse of the Nasdaq market again. The growth rate of the NASDAQ index slowed down until today's instagram listing. The miracle of making wealth on the day of listing made the new technology sector activated again, It paves the way for the last capital operation of westrow system in 1996.
The next day, December 7th, Saturday.
Although the U.S. stock market is closed, the North American media are full of reports about the first day of instagram's IPO yesterday and the Nasdaq market's record high.
However, in the eyes of many people, the crisis is getting closer.
Simon seldom had a rest, but he still arrived in Manhattan in the morning.
The main purpose is to watch the last dress rehearsal of Guofeng Art Troupe before its performance tonight, accompanied by Celia miller who just came back from Washington yesterday.While watching the performance, I mainly talked about the establishment of Livni as a free trade zone. After last month's sherban assassination, Kiev authorities, who thought there must be a plot in the westero system, did not refuse the request. Instead, they showed great cooperation.
So it's a lot easier to do.
Of course, the specific process will take several months to complete.
The main point is that a free trade area is actually a two-way one. It is not that a country can set up its own area as a free trade area, so it can carry out free trade. In addition to various trade rules, it has to sign free trade agreements with other countries. However, compared with the WTO agreement which needs long-term negotiation, the FTA is a unilateral concession of a country, so the difficulty is greatly reduced.
”I met with Mickey Kant yesterday. Washington is very supportive of signing this agreement with Ukraine. However, Mickey raised an objection that we should also bring China in. China is in the process of negotiating its accession to the WTO. What Washington means is that they probably hope that China will enjoy such benefits after its accession to the WTO. ”
In the lobby of the Metropolitan Opera House.
Simon and Celia, sitting in the seats with only a few spectators, watched the rehearsal on stage and asked, ”is this a mandatory requirement, or is it just an ordinary proposal?”
”It's just an ordinary proposal,” Celia looked at the oriental girl on the stage and immediately understood her boss's attitude. She said, ”let's ignore it. In fact, China is a very important raw material importing country when Livni establishes a free trade zone. At the same time, Livni's main target market is western Europe. To put it this way, it will bring the Federation into the market It seems unnecessary to come here. ”
Simon nodded slightly and was very satisfied with Celia's position. If the women around him were to consider this issue at the national level of the United States, rather than the first choice of the interests of the Westeros system, Simon might have to consider changing each other.
Position matters.
Simon doesn't force others to incline to his own position, but if a person is in the westerosian system, he has to consider himself as a westercian.
In a word, as Celia said, the main market of Livni's free trade zone must be western Europe, and it will not have much connection with the United States. If it is not for the very important symbolic significance of bringing the United States, the world's largest power, it is not necessary at all.
On the other hand, due to the weak foundation of light industry in Eastern Europe and the high cost in all aspects of Western Europe, China is undoubtedly the best import target in some aspects such as raw materials. Of course, it's OK for Southeast Asia now. It's just that after 1997, Southeast Asia's economy suffered a devastating blow, and then there will be no more.
After a few more words, Simon asked another question: ”about increasing the number of troops in Africa, how much share can we get this time?”
Personal military assistant, this is Celia's most important title.
After listening to her boss's question, Celia sorted it out a little and quickly said, ”in recent years, some other forces have quietly set up mercenaries. Not surprisingly, we can only get 1500 mercenaries this time. With orders from other parties, the annual contract value in Africa is about $100 million.”
