Chapter 145
March 1986.
Microsoft went public on the Nasdaq of the Lighthouse Country.
As soon as the market opened, it was welcomed by the market.
Hongxing Sakura Capital, led by Haruko Akagi, made a large purchase as soon as the market opened.
The original opening price of 21 was pulled up to 23 in an instant, an increase of 10%.
Gates and Allen were relieved to see that their company's stocks were so popular in the market.
Especially Gates, who thought that he had almost raised enough funds, stopped watching the market and did his own research.
The two founders took out part of their equity as circulating shares, as well as rewards and dividends for company employees.
Currently, Gates holds 45% of the shares. He is the company's largest shareholder.
Allen holds 15% of the shares and is the company's second largest shareholder. Ballmer holds 8% of the shares. These three people occupy more than 2/3 of the company's equity.
In the stock market.
"Boss, the stock price has risen by 25%. Should we continue to follow up?"
The chief analyst under Haruko made his own suggestions.
He believed that the stock was at this price and had little investment value.
However, Haruko ordered without hesitation: "The big boss said that no matter the price, buy all, remember, all."
"Ha!"
With the strong intervention of Hongxing Capital, the stock price had been strongly pulled to $30 at the closing.
This is far beyond the closing price of Microsoft stock on the original timeline.
Microsoft headquarters.
"Hey, Gates, did you see the stock price today? It has reached $30 per share. With such a high stock price, I am a little tempted. Do you think I should sell some more?" Allen said jokingly.
Gates shook his head indifferently and said, "Oh? $30, is it so high? But I don't have the idea of selling any stocks. If you want to sell stocks, Allen, consider me first." Gates said half-jokingly.
If the company was not short of funds for development, Gates would not want to take the company public so early.
The unusual movement of Microsoft's stock has long attracted the attention of other investors, so some funds have stepped in to compete with Hongxing Capital for stocks.
During the trading session, the stock price once reached a high of $35.
"Dump the market, sell all!"
The market always has a herd effect. Under the lead of Hongxing Capital, the stock was once again smashed to around 22 yuan.
Taking this opportunity, Hongxing Capital built a large position at a low level.
In the end, after several rounds of tug-of-war, the stock price was firmly fixed at $30 near the closing.
After counting today's results, through the operation of multiple accounts in one day, 12% of Microsoft's shares were acquired as a whole.
The most important thing is that before spending much cost, Qingzi made a lot of money by buying high and selling low.
After the closing, Qingzi reported this good news to Fengyun.
"Boss, today we acquired 12% of Microsoft's shares."
"Well done, Haruko, keep going, we will acquire no less than 15% of the shares this year."
Fengyun did not dare to go too far in the acquisition, he could not even make Gates feel threatened.
If Gates realized that someone was maliciously acquiring his company, the other party could just walk away and throw this empty shell to Fengyun.
Fengyun has been analyzed by some psychological experts, and conservatively estimated that Gates' tolerance limit for this should not exceed about 20% of the company's total shares.
By boarding the Microsoft ship, it can be said that Fengyun has already won.
Even if he does nothing in the future, his wealth can still grow at a rapid rate.
Hong Kong Island.
"Boss, big news!" Xiao Ma Ge ran to Fengyun's office like a gust of wind.
"Xiao Ma, you are already so old, why are you so irritable all the time? Aren't you in the security team? Why did you leave your post?"
"No, boss, look at this." Xiao Ma handed the newspaper in his hand to Feng Yun.
Feng Yun flipped the newspaper carelessly, and then saw a shocking headline.
"Seven or eight flour shops were raided in Hong Kong Island in one day, Xiao Ma, what's going on?"
"Boss, I don't know. I just saw the news and sent it to you as soon as I saw it. Which force is this? It's so cruel. Isn't it obvious that they are trying to grab our territory?" Xiao Ma said indignantly.
It turned out that this guy was not concerned about how many big brothers died in Hong Kong Island. His focus was on the fact that there was an organization that was competing with his Hongxing security for land.
An organization that could commit so many major crimes in a short period of time must not be a small organization, but his Hongxing security guards did not even receive any news, which was a dereliction of duty.
Today, this organization can deal with those gangs selling flour. Tomorrow, this organization can point its guns at their Hongxing.
"Xiao Ma, go out and collect information. I want to know who is behind this organization?"
"Got it! Boss, I'll go out and collect information. I guarantee that within three days, I will dig out the organization's bottom completely."
After thinking about it, Fengyun called Uncle Piao of Wan Chai Police Station again.
After such a thing happened, their police should know more inside information.
I don't know why, Fengyun felt that this matter seemed to have something to do with his Hongxing security guards.
"Hello, Uncle Piao, this is Fengyun. Are you free to come out for a cup of tea?"
Now, although Fengyun's Hongxing Security is not well received by those high-level foreign police officers, Fengyun is still very popular in these police districts below.
What's more, his drones have been ordered by multiple police stations.
In a coffee shop.
Fengyun put the newspaper on the table.
"Uncle Piao, do you police have any clues about this matter?"
Uncle Piao waved his hand.
"Don't mention it. The foreign director just resigned, and the new one is a Chinese director.
I heard that those people above are fighting for power now. Who has time to take care of the affairs of these police districts below..." Uncle Piao was full of complaints.
Fengyun expressed his understanding of this. It was not easy to have a power vacuum period, and it was normal for all parties to fight for power.
"Shitou is in charge of this matter. If you want to know the details of the case, I'll give you his contact number. But you kid, don't tell me that this matter has anything to do with you?" Uncle Piao suddenly asked back.
"How can that be possible, Uncle Piao? You know I'm a law-abiding person. This group of people is so ruthless, I don't know where they came from before?
However, since they came to Hong Kong Island and committed a crime in Causeway Bay, I have to let them know who is in charge of this territory?"
Uncle Piao really wanted to give Fengyun a middle finger. What kind of character are you, kid? Don't you know what you are doing?
Legal businessman? I'll spit on your face!
