In the hall.
They ceased their conversation.
Staring at the screen.
They were very familiar with the number displayed—21.53 Hong Kong Dollars.
This was the offering price of Cot Group, and as soon as the ti arrived, this stable figure began to fluctuate, no, not fluctuate—rather, it began to gradually rise, with massive orders visibly appearing.
Accumulating into a massive figure.
It was visible.
So had set their prices even below the offering price, at twenty, nineteen, and so on, but this was not concerning to the crowd—it was a normal phenonon, and there would always be those who engage in such ’risk hedging.’
Others anticipated a potential ’black swan’ event, hoping to snag a bargain.
Unfortunately.
They thought too much.
The price continued to climb.
22.1 Hong Kong Dollars.
...
22.6 Hong Kong Dollars.
...
22.8 Hong Kong Dollars.
...
The price was changing almost every second. However, Pu Chaodong dared not be too joyful. At this stage, it was only the bidding process, during which bids could be withdrawn. Only finalized transactions would represent real data.
This place was not like Huaxia.
There were no restrictions on price fluctuation limits, nor rules that required purchases made today to be sold only the next day. Besides the opening price, they still worried about what the closing price would be—everything was still uncertain.
Waiting was torturous.
Pu Chaodong’s heart was racing.
So was Shen Yi’s.
Other investors were operating machines in person or making purchases through phone calls. Initially, during the subscription, the competition was too fierce, and they did not acquire many stocks. Now, many wanted to increase their investnts.
"Director Pu, is Boss Tang also monitoring the market?" Shen Yi brought up a topic.
"I doubt it."
Pu Chaodong gave a wry smile.
Others were celebrating their company going public.
The founder was so excited, wishing everyone in the world knew and hosting a grand banquet.
Contrarily, Tang Qing.
Calm as a rock, not even bothering to co take a look, let alone make a phone call. He couldn’t say that Tang Qing didn’t care about the company; if he didn’t, he wouldn’t often reply to their emails late at night.
It could only be said.
That their boss had too many major companies.
Apart from Cot Group, Tang Qing had at least three other companies under him with potential no less than it. Last year, Qingyuan Technology earned more than double their earnings and may earn even more this year.
The second one was Sky Eye. In addition to its own hundreds of branches worldwide, it also controls Xiao Xiao Technology which holds a substantial amount of Ali stocks and has shown impressive growth as a company on its own.
Big data.
Cloud computing.
Data Center.
Providing strong support for the business operations of Sky Eye.
The third one he believes is about to take off is Hummingbird Comrcial Storage.
Besides.
Tang Qing still owns many other secondary level companies.
Therefore.
Cot Group couldn’t possibly be Tang Qing’s sole favorite. For others, owning one company is enough to be proud of, yet Tang Qing had nurous top-quality companies, with Cot Group barely making it into the top three.
As CEO.
Pu Chaodong also felt helpless.
"I’m thinking, next month when Microcrystalline Technology goes public in the United States, will Boss Tang not attend either?"
"Possible."
"And Qingyuan Technology, also going public next month."
He opened his mouth.
After a long while.
Only one sentence popped out of Pu Chaodong’s mouth.
"Boss Tang is truly aweso."
Two months.
Three companies under his belt going public in three different countries, this move dazzled many, and it indirectly shows that Tang Qing is preparing a major action next.
He knows the major moves of Cot Group.
Data Center.
Overseas Theater Circuit expansion.
Rights developnt.
Qingyuan Technology also shows signs, which is the ’Smart Space Research Center.’ Tang Qing plans to invest hundreds of billions, likely not just in research and developnt, but also venturing into hardware manufacturing.
As for Microcrystalline Technology.
They are not familiar.
This company is in Seattle, United States, and does not have many dostic operations.
"Yes."
"..."
The two chatted sporadically, and the numbers on the wall kept changing. By 9:40, they had already broken through twenty-five dollars. Just then, Pu Chaodong’s phone rang.
A glance.
It was Tang Qing.
He quickly pressed the answer key.
"Chairman."
Pu Chaodong suppressed his excitent.
"Boss Pu, how’s it going?"
"It’s been ten minutes since the bidding started. Stock price has surpassed twenty-five and is still rising. If all goes well, the opening price is expected to be around twenty-seven," Pu analyzed.
"Twenty-seven, not bad," Tang Qing nodded.
A thirty percent increase.
Acceptable.
That was without the involvent of controlled capital by fighters. Today, on the first day, Tang Qing decided not to let fighters interfere, he wanted to see the true market reaction.
As for tomorrow.
Tomorrow is Saturday, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is closed. Choosing Friday to go public also serves to dissipate so of the ’irrationality’ over the weekend, avoiding a herd ntality that could cause significant fluctuations in the group’s stock price.
This porridge.
He’s not in a hurry, he’ll let it simr slowly.
Currently it’s the year 2008, and the opening hours of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange are still quite late. In a few years, by 2011, they will adjust to the sa as the Huaxia A-shares, starting the opening call auction at nine and comncing trading at nine-thirty.
"Is the banquet this evening arranged?"
"It’s arranged. Invitations have already been sent out. According to your request, in addition to the major shareholders who subscribed to our stocks, there are also so tycoons from Hong Kong," Pu Chaodong, visiting Hong Kong, was not just there to monitor the stock.
"Good, that’s good."
Tang Qing said.
It would be sowhat inappropriate if he didn’t even send a greeting in person, so this occasion was not only to thank the investors but also to et other Hong Kong tycoons.
To these Hong Kong families.
Tang Qing couldn’t say he liked or disliked them, but after all, they were fellow countryn. They might et in the business field in the future. Becoming acquainted wasn’t a loss.
"Then keep an eye on it at the venue, thanks for your hard work on the Hong Kong matter."
"It’s no trouble, it’s my duty."
After saying this.
Tang Qing hung up the phone.
"What did Boss Tang say?" Shen Yi asked.
"Plans as usual, there will be a video link to the banquet tonight," Pu Chaodong said.
"I wonder how many people will co." Shen Yi was a bit worried. Invitations were sent, but since Tang Qing wouldn’t be there in person, these Hong Kong dynasties might not give him face, which would be embarrassing.
Hearing this.
Pu Chaodong smiled.
"Whether they co or not is their choice."
"Heh, true," Shen Yi changed his mind, considering Tang Qing wasn’t eager to form close ties with these people; he just wanted to get acquainted. If they didn’t co, Tang Qing wouldn’t lose a penny.
With the current strength and relationships of the Tang family.
They truly don’t care about these matters.
On the screen.
The numbers were still rising.
9:50.
Seeing the 28.33 Hong Kong Dollars on the screen, a smile appeared on the faces of Pu Chaodong and his companion. At this ti, those orders could no longer be withdrawn, indicating that the opening price was essentially set.
10:00.
The continuous trading session at the Hong Kong Stock Exchange began.
10:10.
28.93 Hong Kong Dollars.
"..."
10:20.
29.95 Hong Kong Dollars.
"..."
11:00.
30.07 Hong Kong Dollars.
"..."
12:00.
33.75 Hong Kong Dollars.
"..."
The morning trading ended, and Cot Group’s stock price had already approached a high of 36 Hong Kong Dollars. Pu Chaodong and Shen Yi excitedly embraced, thrilled by Pu Chaodong becoming a billionaire.
This also signified that Cot Group’s market value had surpassed 260 billion US dollars.
