Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 703 New York Stock Exchange

   A few days passed in a flash.

  July 5th

  Orange Technology was officially listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

  The New York Stock Exchange is located on Wall Street. There are sixteen trading booths in the exchange, and each trading booth has sixteen to twenty trading counters, all equipped with modern office equipment and communication facilities.

  The New York Stock Exchange operates mainly on stocks, followed by various domestic and foreign bonds.

  Except holidays, trading hours are five days a week, five hours a day.

   Since the 1920s, the New York Stock Exchange has been an international financial center. The surge and crash of the stock market here will have a chain reaction in the stock markets of other capitalist countries, causing volatility.

  In the 1930s, the New York Stock Exchange officially became a national stock exchange in the United States.

   Several exchanges in Hong Kong are now insignificant compared to the New York Stock Exchange.

   After months of preparation, Orange Technology is almost ready to go public in the United States. After the news was released, it attracted the attention of investors from all walks of life in the United States.

  The total share capital of Orange Technology is one billion shares. This listing will sell 30% of the shares, that is, 300 million shares, with a share price of $30 per share and a financing of $9 billion.

   Before this, there has never been a foreign company financing such a huge transaction in the United States.

   Therefore, when Orange Technology released the news, the entire American media was in an uproar.

  In the 1980s, the tens of billions of dollars in financing, although not a newcomer, was definitely considered unprecedented.

   Unlike ordinary people who eat melons who can’t believe it, the investors who gathered on Wall Street have responded very enthusiastically.

   In order to cooperate with the listing of Orange Technology, Yang Chen deliberately released the financial report that he had been hiding.

  Chengzi Technology wants to go public, these data must be known to the public. After the confirmation of the exchange, many Wall Street giants have been unable to hold back their hunger and thirst, and they all want to bite the fat on their lips.

GB handheld game console, in a few months, the sales volume in the United States alone has exceeded 70 million, and the global sales volume has reached as much as 300 million. Together with the game card revenue, the total revenue of Orange Technology has exceeded 10 billion. Dollar.

   Among them, the American market alone accounts for 40% of the total operating income. The average American household has a GB handheld game console.

  In the handheld game console industry, Orange Technology has become a sales myth in the game industry, and no company can compete with it.

   Next, Orange Technology will enter the field of home game consoles and arcades. Although it is unclear what the results will be, everyone is very confident in the terrifying sales and market share of GB game consoles.

   At nine o'clock in the morning, Yang Chen walked into the New York Stock Exchange with the support of a group of bodyguards and the partners of Goldman Sachs Group.

  When he came in, the entire New York Stock Exchange, everyone's eyes, were focused.

   Various television media in the United States have started live broadcasts of the whole process, and the huge financing of tens of billions has attracted the attention of the entire American media.

  The United States is a country that worships money and personal heroes, and individualism occupies the mainstream of thinking in this country.

   A celebrity like Yang Chen who already has a huge fan base, coupled with his terrifying worth now surpassing that of the top rich, the combination of fame and fortune has an impact far beyond the result that one plus one equals two.

   In addition, Yang Chen's Asian TV station has also obtained the permission of the exchange to conduct live recording of the whole process.

   In the face of the questions from the surrounding reporters, Yang Chen ignored it, protecting Xue Yufei beside him, and under the protection of the surrounding bodyguards, he quickly passed through the crowd.

   After a brief exchange with the chairman of the exchange and others to confirm the opening price, Yang Chen was interviewed by a group of TV stations.

   "Please everyone be quiet first, be quiet, I only have fifteen minutes here, I hope you don't waste time."

  Female reporter: "Mr. Yang Chen, I heard that your company, Orange Technology, is going to raise tens of billions of dollars in the listing. Do you think this goal can be achieved?"

   In front of the camera, Yang Chen smiled faintly: "To be precise, it's 300 million shares, 9 billion US dollars."

   "As for whether it can be achieved, it depends on the confidence of investors in Orange Technology."

   "But I believe that many investors present will see the potential of Orange Technology."

  Reporter: "Then may I ask Mr. Yang Chen, after the financing of Orange Technology, will it speed up its entry into the home and arcade market?"

  Yang Chen: "To tell you the truth, we have successfully developed the first-generation home machine of Orange Technology and are now entering the stage of mass production."

  Reporter: "It was reported earlier that Mr. Yang Chen signed a huge investment agreement with the Australian government. I wonder if Mr. Yang Chen will invest most of the funds from this financing into Australia?"

Yang Chen raised his brows, carefully looked at the reporter who asked the question, and shook his head: "No, except for a part of the funds from this financing, most of the funds I will invest in some American companies that I like. For the American market, I will I have always held a very optimistic attitude and will not transfer the funds obtained from the financing out of the United States.”

   He may have had such an idea earlier, but after the Falklands War, after learning of the gains from Britain and Argentina, he dismissed this idea.

   The harvest from both sides has greatly exceeded his expectations. Investment in Australia is not a problem at all.

   Meanwhile, with the World Cup final coming to an end soon, he will make another windfall.

   With the funds obtained from the listing of the game company this time, he can completely stay and invest in those companies that he has taken a fancy to before.

   Those U.S. companies he was interested in before would have to be acquired sooner or later.

   Tens of billions of dollars, which is no small amount, and the U.S. government will definitely not be able to watch him transfer the money smoothly.

   This time, he only took out 30% of the shares and the remaining 70%. If he didn't want it that day, he could sell it to others in private.

   For example, the islanders who have been eyeing the game market all the time. In the 1980s, the islanders were not ordinary rich. Even if the yen has not appreciated, the islanders’ local tyrants have already been shown.

   Several giant banks in the island country, as long as Yang Chen is willing to sell, I believe they will be very willing to acquire Orange Technology Company, and use this as a springboard to enter the American game market.

   After accepting questions from several reporters in a row, Yang Chen ended the interview and began to wait for the next bell ringing session.
