Chapter 748: Winning is not scary, but missing someone is embarrassing
Although this year has not yet entered the Nasdaq surge period, there are already signs. The stock prices of several major technology stocks are constantly rising.
Microsoft, Cisco, Sun and other companies, together with Netscape, Yahoo, and Feiyan Technology that have been listed in the past few years, now form the most well-known technology stocks on Nasdaq.
Microsoft has been paying dividends and splitting its stock price in recent years. Generally, this is done so that the stock can circulate better. After all, a share of tens of dollars is beyond the reach of ordinary leeks.
But if one share is only a few dollars, even small retail investors can afford it. In other words, major shareholders can cash out and run away faster.
If a share costs tens or hundreds of dollars, even if you cash out, you won't be able to get out of it for a while, and only the big Wall Street institutions can take over.
After several dividends and stock splits, Microsoft's current stock price is about US$6.5, and its market value exceeds US$150 billion. When converted into RMB, the market value exceeds one trillion US dollars!
You must know that the total market value of all Big A companies this year is only 1.7 trillion yuan, almost 210 billion U.S. dollars. Microsoft’s influence on domestic technology companies is so great that it can be You know it!
But Microsoft, with a market capitalization of over US$150 billion, suddenly started an elephant dance at the close of trading today, and its stock price suddenly increased by 6%, reaching US$6.89 per share!
The stock price seems to have an "unremarkable" increase, but based on Microsoft's market value, this increase alone has increased Microsoft's market value by nine billion U.S. dollars. This can make people understand, What does the elephant dance mean?
The sudden turmoil in Microsoft's stock price has left many leeks, retail investors and even small and medium-sized institutions confused. Everyone knows that Microsoft's stock price has been rising since last year.
After all, Microsoft's current dominance in the software industry is irreplaceable. The number of computer users around the world continues to surge, and Microsoft is basically making money.
But today's sudden stock price explosion is obviously abnormal. There is no news from the outside world that Microsoft has released any heavyweight products or new software.
It was not until the closing of Nasdaq that the outside world saw that today many large Wall Street institutions entered the market to raise funds for Microsoft shares, and some American pension funds also entered the market.
These institutions are the most well-informed, because those who operate these institutions and foundations are America's top traders, and their noses are even more sensitive than a dog's.
If there is even the slightest disturbance, these institutions will be able to hear about it, and pension foundations like America are "cannot lose money" foundations. If they are not completely sure, they will definitely not end easily.
But this time, when big Wall Street institutions and pension funds suddenly came to grab Microsoft shares, they must have received some definite news!
Sure enough, shortly after the market closed, a Wall Street "source" announced the reason why Microsoft's stock price suddenly exploded through the Wall Street Journal and other media.
“The stargazing video recorder is a hardware product jointly developed by Microsoft and an overseas company, and Microsoft is responsible for the promotion and sales!
As of 12 noon, four hours of stargazing are online The sales of video recorders in America may have exceeded 4,000 units, and the sales volume on the first day may be between 6,000 and 7,000 units!”
In the final stage, the Wall Street Journal evaluated the significance of the stargazing video recorder to Microsoft, as well as the reason why Microsoft's stock was scrambled and the stock price suddenly exploded.
“Stargazing video recorders may usher in a new era for Microsoft. This may be a breakthrough for Microsoft in the hardware industry.
If Microsoft can develop products other than software , the revenue of the hardware industry has reached one-third or even one-half of the software business, which means that a new Microsoft will be born!”
The Wall Street Journal’s meaning is very clear. What the big Wall Street institutions care about is not how many machines Stargazing sells.
But if stargazing is successful, it may bring Microsoft into a new era. In the future, Microsoft will no longer have to walk on one leg. What does this mean? It is no more than recreating Microsoft. Then Microsoft's market value can How much, 200 billion US dollars, or 300 billion US dollars?
The essence of stocks is speculation, especially expectations for the future. Even if a company is losing money now, it is almost out of pants.
But as long as there is an expectation that big profits will be made in the next few years or even ten years, then Wall Street institutions will dare to speculate and drive the company's stock price to the sky.
Just like Tesla in his previous life, he suffered losses all the way and his stock price skyrocketed.
As for whether Wall Street’s predictions will be realized in the future, only the devil knows. Anyway, Wall Street institutions will look for opportunities to run away if they raise the stock price. What these institutions are doing is speculation. Which institution is willing to If you live and die with this company, isn't there something wrong with your brain? !
In the past, Microsoft also wanted to hype hardware products, but its performance was really embarrassing. But this time, the performance of Stargazing, which Microsoft invested in, was obviously different, and Wall Street institutions naturally joined in.
First, the stock price of Feiyan Technology increased, and then Microsoft. The reason for the increase in the stock price of the two companies was the same, that is, the stargazing video recorder. This made the American technology, finance, and investment industries all for a while. My eyes were focused on this product that suddenly appeared!
......
"Ed, please count up all sales of stargazing video recorders today as soon as possible!"
"Seattle is waiting for its hero to return in triumph, The Microsoft board of directors has prepared a grand banquet to welcome its heroes!”
At Microsoft headquarters, even standing outside the door of Bill Gates’ office, you can hear laughter coming from inside. . Bill Gates sat directly on his desk, with his legs on the ground and his hands on his hips, talking on the phone. He was indescribably arrogant, but Ballmer and other Microsoft executives, as well as several Microsoft directors, were sitting in the office. , but they are all smiling, because at this moment, Bill Gates is the emperor of Microsoft!
Anyone who can increase the market value of Microsoft by nine billion US dollars in one day is the emperor of Microsoft. If he pulls a poop in front of the members of Microsoft's board of directors, some people will probably praise the success of the poop!
Because that’s 9 billion U.S. dollars. As a group of Microsoft shareholders, their net worth skyrocketed by tens or even hundreds of millions of U.S. dollars in one day, and executives could also receive large sums of dividends and bonuses. bonus.
Now, the project that has skyrocketed Microsoft's market value is led by Bill Gates. Naturally, he has got the biggest piece of the pie, and his power in Microsoft has reached a new level!
The person Bill Gates called was naturally Ed Fleiss. Stargazing was first launched online today, and Microsoft began to taste the benefits.
Although Microsoft may not be able to make much money from the machine, it is already making a lot of money from the stock price. What can be seen is that as long as stargazing video recorders are still selling well, Microsoft's stock price will rise higher and higher!
After hanging up the phone, Bill Gates glanced at the group of people sitting in his office. All of them had respect and admiration for him on their faces, and there was no Erwuzi in sight at all. The figure made Bill Gates feel good.
Only Panos, general manager of Microsoft's hardware department, sitting in the corner, smiled a little reluctantly at the moment.
Before, he believed that the stargazing video recorder could not be sold, but who knew that this time, Microsoft seemed to have been struck by evil spirits and actually sold the machine!
This immediately made the status of Panos and his hardware department become awkward. If Stargazing sells well, wouldn't it prove that the reason why Microsoft's hardware is so incompetent is not Microsoft, but him? Hardware department!
It's like a team game. It's not scary to lose. Everyone takes the blame together, but if they win, whoever is missing will be embarrassed.
“For the stargazing video recorder project, Microsoft will fully support this project and make this project become Microsoft’s iconic product in the hardware industry!”
Bill Gates’ guidance Jiangshan said, regardless of whether the stargazer was developed by Microsoft, it is enough to have the Microsoft logo on it. The logo alone is worth billions of dollars in market value.
6◇9◇书◇Bar
No one here dared to object to Bill Gates’ explanation. Even if there were two or five young people, they had to hide it well at this time and did not dare to let it go. Bill Gates found out.
"President Gates!"
Just as the crowd was about to disperse, Panos in the corner spoke.
Under Bill Gates’ doubtful gaze, Panos said, “If the sales of stargazing video recorders can meet expectations, I think Microsoft should acquire this project as soon as possible!
Donngling Hi-Tech in Hanxi Province has promised Microsoft that it is willing to sell video recorders The project was sold to Microsoft, Microsoft can’t miss it!”
Hearing this, Bill Gates also showed a pensive expression on his face. Indeed, he bought the project while the stargazing video recorder had just begun to sell well. Compared to the day when its shipments surged, when we talk about acquisitions, the price is completely different.
"After the sales of the first batch of machines were released, Ed returned to Seattle and asked him to discuss the matter with Tanglin Hi-Tech in Hanxi!" Bill Gates said.
......
In Li Dongling's office at Dongling Hi-tech headquarters in Pingyang, Hanxi, there are also senior executives such as Ren Yuefeng, Zhang Ao, Hu Xian, and Gao Peng gathered together.
We are also waiting for the news from America. Although Tanglin Hi-Tech headquarters did not send anyone there, it does not mean that we really don’t pay attention to the stargazing video recorders. Over there in America of sales.
Not only does Microsoft want to buy the video recorder project, Li Dongling also wants to go both ways with Microsoft and sell the project to Microsoft!
But this matter cannot be rushed. At least the stargazing video recorder must be made to look extremely popular. Only when it "definitely" makes a lot of money in the future can the project be sold, and the tax on the stargazing video recorder can be paid in one go from the 20th century. At the end, go to the 22nd century!
"Ding the bell"
The transoceanic phone on Li Dongling's desk rang, and the originally noisy office suddenly became quiet.
“The first-day sales of stargazing video recorders were 7,450 units, with sales of US$2.38 million!”
“Mr. Li, let the production department Over there, send more machines as soon as possible, there are not enough machines to sell here!”
