The Pentium Era - South to North

Everyone has arrived. At the gate, it is inevitable to shake hands and congratulate each other. Among the guests who come, they seem to be the only Chinese. The others are basically from the United States, more precisely, from New York, coming from Wall Street. Liu Yun and Xiaofang’s partners and former colleagues.

There are only two of them. Xiaofang specially introduced to Zhang Chen that this is from the Yale University Foundation. The Yale University Foundation has funds in Xiaofang’s Youth Capital. Today’s listing of Fanhua Network on Nasdaq is also related to For their own benefit, they were invited by Xiaofang and came all the way from New Haven.

Because Zhang Xiangbei was still a student at Yale, Xiaofang felt that it was necessary to introduce Zhang Chen.

The Nasdaq trading building looks unremarkable, nothing special. It is most famous and can often be seen on TV news. It is the four-story-high, giant curved screen outside the building. .

Everyone lined up to pass the security check at the door and entered the building. Once inside, Zhang Chen immediately felt that it was cramped and simple, which simply did not match its reputation as a world-famous stock trading center.

Zhang Chen felt that this building was inferior to his M-Zone and Yongcheng Center. Not many companies would be interested in such an office building even if it was placed in Qianjiang New City in Hangzhou, not to mention Shanghai.

The front desk of the building is also very small. Except for the frosted glass background wall and the Nasdaq logo on the screen, which indicate the extraordinaryness of this place, the decoration style can almost be called shabby.

But because this is the front desk of the Nasdaq trading building, everyone still took photos here.

The hall was already a bit depressing, and there were screens hanging there. On each screen, there were projections introducing the situation of each company, as well as the latest financial news, which made it dazzling.

Looking up, through the glass on the second floor, you can see rows of hosts in the computer room, which is the heart and brain of the entire Nasdaq.

Liu Yun, Xiaofang and Xiaohu have all been here before. Liu Bang and Lin Shuwan, the ancestors of the Han Dynasty, came here for the first time like Zhang Chen. It was obvious that they were surprised by the simplicity of the place. Lin Shuwan kept asking Xiaohu , does Nasdaq have other buildings?

Xiaohu said there was no more, and this was the only one. Lin Shuwan sighed and said, "Xiaohu, this place is not as grand as the office area of ​​your Fubon Financial Holdings."

Liu Yun and Xiaofang both laughed. Liu Yun asked: "Are you disappointed? It's not just here. You just go to Wall Street and look at the buildings one by one. They are almost all like this. How can it be compared with Lujiazui."

Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, said: "I originally thought that these places should be magnificent."

"It doesn't matter, just like an unattractive woman can be called a good-tempered woman..." Zhang Chen said.

"What about here, brother?" Lin Shuwan interrupted him and asked.

Zhang Chen said: "It can be said to be concise."

Everyone laughed.

The staff came over, confirmed their identities, and led them all to a corner. The background wall in this corner was dark green. More than one meter away from the background wall, there was a black table with a digital camera on it. There were cameras and two computers, and two covered photography lights stood on both sides of the table.

Xiaofang told them that everyone should take pictures in front of this background wall. Later, the staff will combine your silhouette with the Nasdaq building to make a souvenir book. It will be given to you when you leave, and everyone can take it back as a souvenir.

Everyone lined up and took pictures one by one. Liu Yun said to everyone: "Take beautiful photos. Your photos will also appear on the big screen outside the building later."

She then repeated the same words to the Americans in English with a smile.

When Liu Yun said this, everyone became serious. Appearing on the big curved screen was no joke. So many people in Times Square were watching. It was broadcast through major TV stations and could be seen all over the world. See it.

Before nine o'clock, everyone had finished taking photos, and the staff guided them into the studio on the first floor. Zhang Chen saw that this was really a studio, and the area was about the same as the news studio of an ordinary TV station. Not even the lobby.

Zhang Chen did not expect that the ceremony would be held in such a small place. No wonder only fifty people could enter. Even if fifty people arrived on the stage, it would still be crowded.

The arc-shaped studio with a height of more than ten centimeters has a dark purple carpet on the ground and a huge arc-shaped background wall in the background. This entire background wall is composed of four parts, with the top one being black. On the back of the screen were big blue letters "NASDAQ", and underneath was a long and narrow curved screen that scrolled through various indices.

Below is a huge video wall, which is composed of small squares. After the market opens, each small square plays a company's logo and related indices.

These small squares can be combined as needed. Sometimes a few or dozens of pieces can be assembled into a large screen.

The bottom part of the background wall is fixed and also has a black background, with a row of blue letters "NASDAQ" on it.

Above the stage, on the right side is a stage similar to that used by newscasters to place their speech notes.

Opposite the arc-shaped studio is a row of cameras. Unlike ordinary TV studios, this studio is not completely enclosed. Behind the row of cameras is floor-to-ceiling glass, and outside the glass is Times Square.

From here, you can see the pedestrians coming and going in the square, as well as the men and women sitting and resting not far away. Opposite the square is the Reuters U.S. headquarters building. There are several large screens hanging outside the building, showing advertisements for cosmetics.

A TV program is being recorded inside. If it had been placed in some place, the outside of the glass would be full of curious people, putting their faces against the glass and looking in. But here, everyone seems to be used to all this. One person He didn't lie there and look around.

If there is such a curious person, the security guard will ask him to come inside and have a look. This studio, even when the program is being recorded, allows outsiders to come in and visit, but it is separated from the studio by a circle of isolation. The stage is eight or nine meters away.

Before nine o'clock, Liu Yun and Xiaofang were invited to the stage. At this time, the TV wall behind formed the logo of Fanhua Network. At nine o'clock, Liu Yun and Xiaofang pressed the orange button on the stage together. button, Nasdaq is open.

The two people immediately left there, walked to the audience, and returned to Zhang Chen and the others.

Then three announcers came on stage, each occupying the left, middle and right positions of the huge arc-shaped video wall. The three people began to take turns broadcasting today's major economic news and analysis of Nasdaq-related companies.

At this time, the director can switch scenes from time to time. The announcer he switches to is talking endlessly, and the other two people are outside the camera, drinking water, reading scripts, or looking around boredly.

While the announcer was broadcasting the program, Liu Yun and Xiaofang were staring at the small square of Fanhua Network on the TV wall, with joy on their faces. Other shareholders and guests were also whispering.

They saw that Fanhua Network's stock had been rising since the market opened. The long box below was always green. Only ten minutes after the market opened, it already showed +3.5%. The Dell next door was red - 1.3%. Although the apple above is also green, it is only +0.4%.

Liu Yun leaned close to Zhang Chen's ear, smiled and said to him: "Our stock price keeps turning green, why isn't your face turning green?"

Zhang Chen smiled "ha". Not only was his face not green, but it was a little red.

At 9:25, the live news program temporarily ended, and the entire TV wall turned into "Fanhua Network". This indicated that the listing ceremony of Fanhua Network had begun. At this time, the listing ceremony began. This ceremony , it is completely performance in nature, and it is also a "staged shot" for the subsequent news broadcast.

On the studio stage, the staff raised a slightly larger stage. First, the head of the Nasdaq Market Department came to the stage to speak. Zhang Chen could not understand even a word of his speech in English, but he knew what he was talking about. , is nothing more than a welcome to Fanhua Network to be listed on Nasdaq.

Then Liu Yun and Xiaofang, the two largest shareholders of Fanhua Network, came on stage. They smiled and delivered speeches in English. They were just thanking this and that. They gestured with their hands from time to time. Those in the audience who were thanked smiled and nodded. .

Then they invited all the guests to come on stage. Everyone crowded onto the stage, waving their hands and cheering, and confetti fell from the sky.

Liu Yun and Xiaofang each stretched out a hand, folded it together, and then pretended to press the orange button.

The ceremony ended in less than ten minutes.

"That's it?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Okay, what else do you want?" Xiaofang asked.

"I took a plane for more than ten hours to come here, and I have to fly for more than ten hours to go back, just for these ten minutes?" Zhang Chen said, and everyone laughed.

Liu Yun said: "Do you know how many people have worked hard for these ten minutes but never finished it?"

"Yes, that's right, Liu Yun said it well." Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, said.

Everyone walked outside together. At this time, their commemorative books had been made. It was really efficient. Everyone walked out of the building with the commemorative books and the gifts.

"Look, look." Lin Shuwan pointed at the TV screen outside the Reuters headquarters building opposite and shouted.

Everyone looked over and saw that the news about Fanhua Network's listing on Nasdaq was being played on the screen. The picture on the screen was actually what they had just "staged". The speed of producing the program was too fast.

"Here, here too."

Xiaohu walked out a few steps and pointed to the huge curved screen outside the Nasdaq building. He said to them, everyone quickly walked over, turned around and looked up. It's true, Fanhua Network is playing on Nasdaq today. News of Dak's listing.

After a while, a half-length photo of Liu Yun appeared on the screen, and then the photos they took in the corner were the same as those in the souvenir album in their hands.

"What's the stock price now?" Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, asked.

Liu Yun said: "Twenty-nine point three."

Fanhua Network's opening price today was 21.5 US dollars. As of 9:40, its total market value has almost reached more than 3.5 billion US dollars and more than 25 billion yuan.
