Chapter 193: Sales explode, ASML takes the lead in IPO
After a period of intense publicity from the media.
The genuine "First Affection" album is finally on sale in Hong Kong Island.
Thanks to the album's very high popularity at the karaoke stations, long queues formed in front of major sales points.
This is the first time for TVB reporters to see such a hot debut scene.
In front of the camera, he exclaimed that the first affectionate man captured Hong Kong Island.
The reporter also randomly interviewed several passers-by who were queuing up. One male compatriot said that he had queued up at the door a day in advance to buy Grandmaster’s records.
Grandmaster is the nickname given by fans to the most affectionate man.
Music critics also strongly agree with this statement, believing that it would be impossible to write such a sleazy and affectionate song without dozens of emotional experiences.
The craziest thing is the female fan of Grandmaster.
What made Wang Lei smile bitterly was that on the first day of sale, he received gifts from several people.
Qi Yuxian, who had not appeared for a long time, held up "The First Deepest Love" and insisted on giving it to Wang Lei.
Even his ex-girlfriends, whom he had not contacted for a long time, sent him this album in various ways.
Wang Lei began to suspect that his woman contributed to 2% of the 1 sales on the first day.
As far as he knew, Qi Yuxian packed 50 of them by herself, and all the beauty salons and tea restaurants she opened in Hong Kong had one.
The two songs are played alternately in a loop.
So much so that many ladies who have been abandoned by men have become fans of the most affectionate man.
A mysterious rich woman even bought a thousand records to support her idol.
Grandmaster's affectionate style completely swept the Hong Kong city, and even after it was launched on the Bay Island and the mainland, it also spread like a virus.
After counting sales for a week, the entire Three Stones record company was shocked.
The First Affectionate Man is indeed the hottest new male singer this year, selling 5 copies in Hong Kong Island alone in the first week.
This is a very terrifying result. Even the true god Wang Jie cannot achieve this result.
While they were still immersed in shock, the record stocks in Bay Island and the mainland were running out.
The first batch of 30 pressed records was sold out in the first month.
Especially in the Mainland, many fans have already suspected that the most affectionate man in Hong Kong is Wang Lei. The fans who used to listen to pirated discs bought genuine discs one after another to pay for their tickets.
"The distributors in the mainland asked us to rush to suppress 30 copies for reissue. It is inevitable that the No. [-] Affectionate Man will become popular in the mainland."
Such terrifying demand gave the president of Three Stone Records a premonition.
30 copies is just the beginning. Maybe this album of First Affection will create a miracle?
He has the urge to make Big Boss self-destruct. Maybe the topicality can make Big Boss popular in the entire Chinese music scene?
But this idea only passed by in a flash. The big boss has a trick on his mind to develop the singing circle. He ignores such a big career and becomes a public artist?
What's more, he expressed doubts about Big Boss's live singing level. According to the two teachers in charge of tuning at the time, their hands almost had to burn like lightning before they could achieve a satisfactory effect.
Wang Lei didn't know that his professional managers had such thoughts. He had already flown to New York.
Something big is happening in North America.
ASML’s roadshows in Xizhou and Beautiful China were a great success, and it was the first to launch an IPO!
An initial public offering is the first time a company sells its shares to the public.
The next step for an IPO is to go public.
Originally, Wang Lei felt that it would take some time for ASML to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, but ASML's president Smit felt that this was the best opportunity to catch up with its competitor Peninsula Technology.
He believes that whoever goes public first will have a head start on capital flow.
Robert and Wang Lei conspired again, thinking that they could take the opportunity to perform a double act and take advantage of their competitors' abundant financial resources.
ASML's total share capital is 5 million shares, of which 5% or 2500 million shares are in the hands of the start-up team. This public offering is preparing to issue 7500 million shares.
Many large institutions and groups who wanted to invest in ASML came to hear the news.
Because Wang Lei passed the news to Akhben in advance that he was trying to buy a stake in Asmer, people from the Rothschild family also came here after hearing the news.
Sure enough, Wang Lei's appearance suffocated the inquiry site, and everyone looked at him provocatively.
ASML is now the vanguard of the boycott of Peninsula Technology, and those who come to participate in the inquiry process can be said to be ASML’s strongest supporters today.
They all have some shares in the beautiful National University Chip Company.
The success of ASML's research and development of lithography machines determines the fate of their chip company.
Now that Wang Lei appeared here, everyone became nervous and the atmosphere almost solidified.
Robert took the initiative and led Smit to Wang Lei first, and said straightforwardly:
"Mr. Wang Lei, this is a subscription meeting for ASML Roadshow. You are not welcome here!"
Representatives from other organizations also said:
"Let's go, you are not welcome here."
Faced with Robert's outspoken provocation and everyone's resistance, Wang Lei waved his hand and said:
"Robert and gentlemen, what I want to say is that this is a public place, I am a legal and compliant investor, and according to the laws of the beautiful country, I have the right to participate in this inquiry meeting."
"As your competitor, are you afraid that you won't even give me a chance to compete fairly?"
Akhben, who was quietly watching the changes with his relatives, nodded.
I feel that the aura of my good ally is really strong, and in terms of aura, it is even equal to Robert who has the blessing of the home team.
Robert smiled:
"Of course you have the right to participate in this public inquiry meeting. Well, since you insist on participating, I will give you a chance."
Everyone was in an uproar, and Smit asked a little puzzled:
"Sir, do we really want Wang Lei to participate in the IPO?"
"Of course, if he wants to be a troublemaker, of course we as issuers should applaud him. It's not us who are anxious, but Wang Lei's competitors. The higher their bids, the more funds we will raise through the IPO."
Smit nodded in realization. He had also been brainwashed by Intel and some friends, and regarded Wang Lei as his opponent. As an issuer, he definitely didn't want to see investors being harmonious.
Big institutions and big groups all secretly cursed Robert as an old fox, who has no position at all, and who gave up his dignity for money.
Akhben encouraged his relative Kembauer:
"Brother, this is a good opportunity for you to defeat Wang Lei head-on. Don't forget to give me some benefits after you get the family reward."
"Of course, thank you very much for the information."
Kembauer looked at Wang Lei, who was sitting down slowly, with eyes like looking at prey.
He didn't realize that Akhben was plotting against him.
