Chapter 684: Azure Dragon Securities Opens

Yang Qing had been waiting for Microsoft's counterattack, but it never came.

With Yang Qing's investment, his Microsoft shares already amounted to 18%.

Xuanwu Investment Bank openly held 5% of the shares, while other holdings were through concealed means.

Yang Qing was waiting for Microsoft's market value to reach 600 billion US dollars.

At that time, he would liquidate his shares.

At that time he would recoup over a hundred billion US dollars.

Meanwhile, Yang Qing's holdings were mostly in Microsoft, acquired when its market value was under 10 billion.

This is Yang Qing's courage to throw money at it.

Because he could earn it back from the enemy.

In the Te Qu, a young man named Ma Hua Teng was very depressed.

Because the Te Qu suddenly saw the appearance of a company called Beacon Fire.

They were a company that did instant messaging.

He originally wanted to directly clone ICQ and start such a company himself.

Now that Beacon Fire has appeared, he has no hope left.

"Perhaps I can go work at Beacon Fire."

The young man believed that, relying on his family background and ability, he could certainly secure a position at Beacon Fire.

Moreover, Beacon Fire was a newly opened company.

There was great potential.

Having figured this out, the young man resolutely walked into Beacon Fire Company.

The interview went smoothly, because Flying Pigeon was developing too fast and urgently needed programming talent.

After joining, the young man gradually sensed the problem.

Because inside Beacon Fire Company, most were people from the countryside, graduates of Tequ Daxue.

It was the university founded by the Yang Family; up to now, Tequ Daxue has gained considerable fame.

However, they do not admit outside students, only taking those from the countryside.

They need a recommendation from the Mao Ying or Li Long Charitable Foundation.

These people share many common topics, and are very united and hardworking.

However, Ma Hua Teng, despite trying many times to blend in, could never fit into their circle.

This made the young man extremely depressed.

1998.

Gangdao Financial Defense War, a great victory.

The Yang Family coordinated with Hong Fu and the Mainland, delivering a deadly blow to the squids.

It let the squids see the terror of a closed financial market.

"No, we cannot let them play by themselves; we must bring us along."

"The financial market must be opened, must be opened; if they don't let us play, we will sanction them."

This crushing defeat made them realize that a lone-wolf world might not necessarily be good for them.

Just like now, they have expended enormous manpower, material, and financial resources, not only failing to heavily damage Daxia, but they themselves are about to collapse.

And the collapse they had imagined did not occur.

The Nanyang crisis also affected Daxia's manufacturing industry.

But their goods are cheap; exports indeed decreased, but it is not as terrifying as they imagined.

Those cheap goods, on the contrary, have seen even more exports.

I heard that Daxia's many unsellable junk goods have all been sold off.

Instead, they seem to be clearing Daxia's inventory.

This made them realize that a closed Daxia does not necessarily serve their interests.

This idea has already sprouted; with time's irrigation, it will surely grow.

Te Qu.

Ma Hua Teng, after striving for nearly a year, ultimately decided to resign.

This year of work was not without benefits.

Now he is very familiar with Flying Pigeon.

He believed that through his own efforts, he could create a better chat software.

To prevent others from saying he stole Flying Pigeon's technology.

Ma Hua Teng gave Flying Pigeon an OICQ skin.

Now ICQ is half-dead, so the young man fears no trouble from others.

On Yang Qing's side, he has no time to deal with this little student.

Because the Azure Dragon Securities Exchange has finally been listed and established.

The establishment of a private securities exchange shocked the entire Daxia.

Many people did not understand it, and even strongly opposed.

This is nothing short of snatching food from a tiger's mouth.

Yang Qing became the center of the vortex.

But this was his instruction, so the exchange must be established.

Xu Minghao, having prepared for nearly two years, only now hung up the exchange's sign.

He had made sufficient preparations.

On the first day of opening, three Hongqiao semiconductor companies went public.

These are the three companies that can barely stay alive.

Hongqing Investment invested a portion, and through this IPO they could raise some funds, allowing them to continue.

After the three companies went public, for half a day no one bought; seeing this, thousands of engineers had tears streaming.

This IPO concerns their fate.

Originally there were over ten thousand semiconductor-related engineers here; now they are the only ones left.

If they can persevere, they can gradually gather people back.

If they fail, Daxia's semiconductor industry will be destroyed in an instant.

Some people don't care about their fate or how important this is to Daxia; they only care about results.

We are too far behind; to catch up, we can only buy others' technology and introduce it.

Yang Qing neither affirmed nor denied.

Just now, someone from Lenovo was driven out; some people have always been in charge of these.

Seeing zero trading volume, they lowered their heads in disappointment, some even sobbing.

In the end, it was a failure.

Yang Qing's complexion was also poor.

The situation is clearly being targeted; otherwise there would be at least someone.

Subscribing to new shares—what a dream opportunity for many.

Even if these three companies are not great, there won't be a situation where no one subscribes.

Watching them lower their heads like stray dogs, the crowd silently left.

Yang Qing picked up the loudspeaker.

"No one is buying; we, the Yang Family, will buy. Since you chose Blue Dragon, I, Yang Qing, cannot let you down."

"Buy."

Following Yang Qing's order,

The three companies' stock prices tripled directly and were then wiped out in an instant.

Knowing that Azure Dragon Securities would be difficult, Yang Qing also prepared to risk his life to accompany the gentleman.

Those engineers who were about to leave, seeing this, burst into tears, laughter, and jumping.

Many more people were shouting Yang Qing's name.

Perhaps Qinjiacun's promotion of him was too good.

Among the onlookers, some began to walk in.

"We'll buy, open accounts."

Under Yang Qing's indication, the stock price fell back to its original level.

But now it's not the three companies' stocks; it's stocks taken from Yang Qing's pocket.

Yang Qing's account directly showed a loss.

Yang Qing's benevolence and righteousness were seen by others.

Xu Minghao didn't say much.

These ordinary people could only buy so much; it was practically like handing out red packets to everyone.

Yang Qing's such backstopping behavior made many people's eyes light up.

Those behind the scenes even secretly cursed Yang Qing as an idiot.

Afterward, a large number of companies applied to go public.

Applications poured in like snowflakes into Blue Dragon.

Xu Minghao, smiling, collected a large sum of application fees.

Damn, it's laughable; they actually thought Blue Dragon could go public just like that.

Blue Dragon's review, with its professionalism and meticulousness, can make most companies feel desperate.

When Blue Dragon began to collect review fees,

These people began to be dumbfounded.

"Why charge an application fee and then a review fee?"

Staff, looking at them with contempt.

"Nonsense, who goes public without requirements? Without review, how would you know if you meet them?"

"We're raising funds for you; should the fees come out of us?"
