Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 470: Stock Price Soars, Fortune Myth ( Words)
Although Depp was a little unhappy with Amber for calling his stocks "ours".

But he still whispered in Amber's ear: "Why does everyone think the stock price will soar?"

"Because of Ms. Liu's speech on the stage, she used Lin Yuan's credit to endorse the performance." Amber said.

"In the coming days, we have more movies coming out. These movies have all been personally reviewed by Lin Yuan. If you trust Lin Yuan, the company's future performance will speak for itself."

"I believe that every investor who invests in Lin Yuan Pictures and has full confidence in Lin Yuan will receive rich returns."

"Please remember this: you can always trust Lin Yuan."

These three sentences were spoken by Liu Yufei herself on the stage just now.

She represents Lin Yuan. When she said these words, she was using Lin Yuan's credit to endorse the future performance of Lin Yuan Pictures.

Credit is like a virgin. As long as it has never been broken, it is priceless.

Since Lin Yuan has used his credit to endorse the performance of Lin Yuan Pictures, the capital market and investors will definitely choose to believe him.

Because Lin Yuan's past performance is so outstanding, everyone has every reason to believe in him.

Under such circumstances, Linyuan Pictures' stock price is bound to soar.

But everything has a price. Everyone chose to trust Lin Yuan, but if the future performance is not satisfactory...

The consequence would be that Lin Yuan’s credit would be completely ruined.

This is where Betty feels helpless.

Lin Yuan never leaves himself any way out, and keeps moving forward with a confidence that others can hardly imagine.

Perhaps this is the reason why he was able to build such a large foundation in just a few years.

When Lin Yuan uses his credit as endorsement, all shareholders who now hold Lin Yuan Pictures are of course all beneficiaries.

"I'm betting the stock price will go up by at least 20% when it's officially listed tomorrow!" Amber said, "If we had known Lin Yuan would do this, we should have subscribed to more shares."

德普持有100万股林源影业的股票，总价值1000万美元（每股价格10美元），上涨20%就意味着立刻净赚200万美元。

Don't think that $200 million is not money for Depp. His salary for a movie is just over $1000 million.

In order to maintain his value, he can only star in big-budget movies, and it is good enough to have the opportunity to star in such a movie a year.

Considering his lavish spending, subscribing to Linyuan Pictures' shares for $1000 million to show support is already the financial limit of Depp.

It's only been a few days and he's already made $200 million, which obviously makes him very happy.

Depp's shares have no lock-up period and can be traded immediately.

"Can it increase so much? Should I sell it?" Depp asked in a low voice.

Amber thought for a moment and said, "It depends. If the stock price rises by more than 30% after tomorrow's opening, we won't sell it!"

"Why?" Depp asked innocently.

"That means the market has entered a frenzy and will go even higher. We may be able to eat more meat, so how can we sell it easily?" Amber explained.

"Honey, you are so amazing. You know everything." Depp felt that he loved the woman in front of him more and more.

Not only is she beautiful, but she is also much smarter than me. She is truly perfect.

But Depp was also vaguely worried that he seemed unable to control this woman.

It may be okay now, but in a few years, the dominant position between them may change hands.

Amid Depp's sweet worry, many guests had already stood up and walked towards the bell platform.

After Liu Yufei finished her speech, the next step came, which was the most symbolic bell-ringing session.

The company's listing bell originated in the New York Stock Exchange in the United States and was originally used to indicate the start and end of trading.

Later it developed into a customary commemorative ceremony to celebrate a company's listing.

In different regions, there are different manifestations:
For example, at the Nasdaq Stock Exchange, ringing the bell does not involve actually carrying a large bell, but rather using a button to activate an electronic clock.

But at the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, instead of electronic clocks, the ancient Chinese gong is used.

The Shenzhen Stock Exchange rings neither an electronic bell nor a gong, but a real bronze bell.

At this time, the guests who were to ring the bell came to the bell platform one after another.

Those who came on stage included company executives such as Lin Yuan, Liu Yufei, Meng Tao, and GAKKI Jiang, as well as cornerstone investors participating in the IPO, Taylor Swift and Mr. Eisen as shareholder representatives, and intermediary agency representatives such as Betty.

More than twenty people were crowded together on the stage, making it look packed.

At this most glorious moment, Lin Yuan should have pressed the button of the electronic clock himself, but he took a step back and pushed Mr. Eisen out.

Mr. Eisen was obviously surprised and stared at Lin Yuan blankly.

"Thank you, we have finally achieved some success." Lin Yuan said with a smile.

"You are the real founder of the company. You should represent us with this honor at this moment." Lin Yuan continued.

Looking at Lin Yuan's young face, the scene of their first meeting appeared again on Mr. Eisen's face.

That was truly a fateful first meeting.

Mr. Eisen, who was suppressing his excitement and had slightly red eyes, did not refuse. Instead, he put his hand on the red button of the electronic clock and pressed it hard.

"Ding~Ding~Ding~" the sound of the electronic clock rang out.

The official listing of Lin Yuan Pictures was announced. The big screen showed the stock abbreviation of Lin Yuan Pictures: LinM, and the initial share price of US$10. The guests in the audience stood up and applauded.

After the applause gradually died down, the host and guests who rang the bell on the stage did not leave the stage. Instead, more people walked up to the bell platform.

After the bell ringing ceremony, the next step is a group photo session.

Director Nolan, Director Cohen, Director Johnston, Director Verbinski, Anne Hathaway, Johnny Depp, Vin Diesel and other guests all took to the stage.

They are all heroes who have made contributions to the listing process of Linyuan Pictures, and are also close friends of Lin Yuan. They took a group photo together to record this historic moment.

When taking a group photo, Lin Yuan still left the center position to Mr. Eisen, and stood slightly to the side.

But even though he moved to the side, he was still the visual center of the photo.

Because the area he is in is so beautiful!
Lin Yuan is 1 meters tall and looks tall and handsome, needless to say.

Liu Yufei and Annie, who are 1 meters tall, Betty, who is 73 meters tall, GAKKI-chan, who is 1 meters tall, and Taylor Swift, who is 75 meters tall, are all tall, beautiful and long-legged beauties. They gather around Lin Yuan, giving people the feeling of a garden with blooming flowers.

After the photo session, it was time to sign the documents.

On behalf of the company, Lin Yuan signed a securities listing agreement and other relevant documents with the Nasdaq Stock Exchange, formally establishing the listing relationship.

When the agreement was signed, there was another round of warm applause.

Next up is the souvenir giving session.

A row of etiquette ladies came into the venue carrying the souvenirs carefully prepared by Lin Yuan.

The guest's name was written on each red gift bag, and the etiquette ladies delivered the gifts to the guests one by one.

"I'm really curious about what kind of gifts Lin Yuan prepared. It feels quite heavy in my hand." Depp said with a smile after receiving the souvenir.

Amber also received one. Although she did not receive a formal invitation and came with Depp, the organizing committee still thoughtfully gave her one.

"Then open it and take a look." Amber opened the red gift bag in her hand without hesitation.

If you are an Oriental, you may not open the gift directly in public, but choose to take it home and open it quietly to check it.

However, the custom of Westerners is to open and examine the gifts immediately after receiving them, and to express appreciation in person. This is the polite way to respond to the host's gift.

Inside the gift bag was a box of beautifully packaged porcelain.

This is a complete set of porcelain, including: rice bowls, soup bowls, plates, cups...

porcelain?

As a Chinese, choosing to give porcelain as a gift seems to be very reasonable.

Amber opened the sandalwood box of the porcelain, carefully picked up a cup, and was immediately conquered by the cup in her hand.

This is a pure white cup without any pattern. The first impression when holding it in your hand is...

Thin, so thin!
The thickness of ordinary porcelain is generally between 5 mm and 10 mm. Porcelain of this thickness is quite tough and durable in daily life.

Thin-bodied porcelain with a thickness of less than 3 mm is obviously a gift porcelain that is more ornamental than practical.

The pure white cup in front of me is only about 0.4 mm thick, as thin as a piece of paper. It seems that it will break if you apply a little force.

It is so thin, which shows the high level of craftsmanship. Even someone like Amber who doesn’t know much about porcelain can immediately feel the preciousness of this set of porcelain.

"Oh my God, this set of porcelain is simply a work of art. It is as light and thin as a cicada's wing, so I dare not hold it with force." Amber gently placed the white cup in Depp's palm.

Depp also exclaimed: "It's really amazing craftsmanship. It has different beauty when viewed from different angles."

The glaze of the cup in Depp's hand is as white as snow, and the porcelain body is as white and flawless as solidified fat, revealing a faint warm luster.

But when you hold the cup up to the light, the cup body is as thin as a cicada's wing and has excellent light transmittance, just like ice crystals in the moonlight, reflecting a faint luster.

"Is there a hidden pattern on the cup?" Amber immediately discovered the secret.

Through the light, a line of subtitles appeared on Depp's palm: LinM.

It is the stock code of Linyuan Pictures.

Obviously, this 0.4 mm thick cup has been engraved again with extremely delicate craftsmanship.

Through the difference in light transmittance due to different thicknesses, the line of text appears under the light.

"Looking at the texture and workmanship, this set of gift porcelain must be expensive. I guess it costs at least three to five thousand dollars a set," said Amber.

"I'm afraid it's more than that. Meng Tao brought me a set of porcelain in China before. The workmanship was not as good as this one, but it cost more than 6000 US dollars. I guess Lin Yuan's set of porcelain may cost US dollars." Depp said.

"This gift is so luxurious. Apart from those princes and wealthy people in the Middle East, this should be the most expensive gift given by any listed company this year, right?" Amber exclaimed.

Depp's speculation is not much different from the facts.

The set of gift porcelain that Lin Yuan gave out today is the finest Dehua white porcelain.

There are three major porcelain capitals in China, namely: Jingdezhen in western Jiangxi Province, Liling in southern Hunan Province, and Dehua in Fujian Province.

Among them, Jingdezhen has a long heritage and a 2000-year history of porcelain making. Blue and white porcelain, underglaze red, pastel and doucai are all excellent products of Jingdezhen.

Liling is famous for its underglaze multicolored porcelain.

But Lin Yuan did not choose these two, mainly considering the preferences of European and American guests.

If you are sending gifts to domestic guests, blue and white porcelain, underglaze red porcelain, and multicolored porcelain are all good choices.

But foreigners cannot appreciate these things. For them, the best choice is the high-end and simple style similar to that of Apple that swept the world a few years later.

Therefore, when choosing gift porcelain, Lin Yuan finally decided on Dehua white porcelain.

Dehua white porcelain is known for its snow-white color and stone-hard texture, and is known as "Chinese White".

This pure white porcelain without any pattern, with its beautiful and smooth shape, extremely thin body, and translucent and dazzling beauty, really conquered the guests present today.

This set of gift porcelain is all hand-made by masters. The market price exceeds US$10,000. It is indeed a genuine top-quality product.

"Ah? Besides porcelain, there are other gifts?" Amber also found a document in the bag.

She opened it, looked through it, and said, "This is the equity certificate of Linyuan Pictures. With this, you can go to the brokerage firm to get 1000 shares."

1000 shares, that's $.

"So, today Lin Yuan prepared gifts worth $2 for each guest present. He is really generous." Even a rich man like Depp would feel very happy to receive a gift worth $2.

"Isn't that too generous? There are at least 300 guests here today? Doesn't that mean it will cost 600 million US dollars?" Amber said.

Under normal circumstances, the value of gifts given by listed companies is around US$700 to US$800 per person, so giving a piece of gold jewelry is enough.

After all, gold is mankind's most stubborn belief.

Lin Yuan's amount is obviously more than twenty times the normal standard.

Such a generous gift naturally made the guests present today quite satisfied.

The gift of white porcelain represents taste, while the equity certificate represents practicality. The combination of the two will satisfy all guests.

After the gifts are given, the next step is the celebratory dinner.

Treating people to a meal to celebrate happy events is the same all over the world.

The dinner was held at the Conrad Hotel next to Central Park.

There is no need to say much about the relationship between this hotel and Lin Yuan. It can be said that it has witnessed many important moments in Lin Yuan's life.

Therefore, Lin Yuan chose to hold the thank-you dinner for the company's listing at the Conrad Hotel.

……

……

9pm, Conrad Hotel, banquet hall.

At this time, the guests gathered in groups of three or four in the hall, chatting and laughing with each other.

The waiters shuttled among the crowd, serving drinks to the guests and delicious food to the table from time to time.

Tonight's celebratory dinner is not the kind where everyone sits at the table and eats delicious food one by one, but it is similar to the dinner that was held at the Adams family manor before.

It is more like a cocktail party. If you want to eat, you can sit at the table and eat slowly.

If you don’t want to eat, you can take a glass of wine and look for people you want to make friends with and start a conversation.

There will be a ballroom dance later in the day.

This type of thank-you dinner is definitely more suitable for today's situation.

After all, everyone present is either rich or noble, so who would lack a meal?

But taking this opportunity to make more friends and discuss more cooperation is obviously what more people need.

Depp was taking Amber to have a lively exchange with executives and producers from different film companies.

Amber continued to use her social talents to make the group of old men smile, which made Depp a little jealous.

Meng Tao was surrounded by a group of female stars and seemed quite popular.

But unlike usual, he did not take the opportunity to hook up with the actresses who came to him through some intimate actions, but instead behaved in a more restrained manner.

This made many actresses wonder whether the rumors they had heard about Meng Tao before were false?

Director Cohen was talking to Anne. He had a new movie and wanted to invite Anne to star in it.

After reaching a consensus, Anne seemed to have something urgent to do and left first.

Director Nolan was talking to the president of United Artists, who was quite enthusiastic and clearly intended to poach him.

But Director Nolan politely kept his distance. After working with Lin Yuan on "The Legend of Tang Dynasty", he was completely impressed by Lin Yuan.

Staying in Linyuan Pictures and creating brilliance with him has become the path chosen by director Nolan.

After all, compared to making more money, Director Nolan cares more about making more classic movies that will go down in film history.

In addition to them, director Johnston, Vin Diesel and others were also wandering among the crowd, looking for better opportunities of their own.

The entertainment circle and the capital circle are both places of fame and fortune.

Fame and fortune are easily accessible here, and countless people are trying their best to get in.

Some people are supplicants, hoping to obtain resources leaked by others, which inevitably makes them appear a bit flattering.

Some people are the controllers of resources and act quite relaxed, such as Lin Yuan’s girlfriends:
Taylor Swift continued to follow Mr. Eisen and made new friends everywhere. For the sake of Lin Yuan and Mr. Eisen, she received only courtesy.

Betty smiled as she talked with many bigwigs in the financial circle. As the eldest daughter of the Adams family, she became the youngest president in the history of Morgan Stanley with her outstanding performance. In the eyes of many people, she was already an untouchable big shot.

Because Lin Yuan was a hands-off manager, Liu Yufei had to represent Lin Yuan Pictures and interact with investors, film and television industry insiders, and other people. Her speech at the launch event left a deep impression on many people.

They were eager to get more inside information from Liu Yufei.

After all, this information can be converted into real money. How can it not make people tempted?
As for Lin Yuan, he sat at the dining table and kept eating delicious food.

The empty plates on the table next to him were piled up quite high, forcing the waiter to make several extra trips to replenish the dishes he had finished.

"Did I eat too much? There are already two large stacks of plates." Lin Yuan asked.

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of French blue lobster sashimi and put it into his mouth.

$100 a mouthful, it's really a delicacy made from money.

GAKKI-chan, who was beside him, said with a smile, "This is a big plate with only a few dishes on it. It looks like the plate is piled high, but there isn't much to eat."

"There's nothing I can do. You know, I don't like dealing with people I don't know well. If I don't keep eating, I'll be pestered by them right away." Lin Yuan replied.

The unspoken rule of dinner parties is not to initiate conversation with someone who is eating.

So if you don't want to talk to people and find a place to sit down and eat, then most people who want to talk will not come over and make things boring.

"For you, dealing with strangers is definitely not as good as enjoying delicious food. Try this, I have peeled the shells." GAKKI-chan handed over a plate of shrimp.

It is New Zealand deep-sea crayfish, a favorite ingredient in Japanese cuisine.

But at tonight's cocktail party, super-sized top-quality ingredients are used.

Each deep-sea crayfish is over 14 centimeters in size and costs $130 each, but it is definitely worth it.

When you put it in your mouth, there is absolutely no fishy smell, it tastes cool, soft and extremely sweet.

The only trouble is that the shell of this crayfish is sharp and hard, which is quite troublesome for people who don’t know how to peel it.

GAKKI's technique is quite skilled. She easily finds the position of the third section of the shell below the shrimp head, pinches it with her thumb and index finger, and then gently rotates it to pull out the crystal white shrimp meat.

After removing the shrimp thread, she placed it on a plate and handed it to Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan was already accustomed to the gentle service of the Sakura girl, but he couldn't help but feel a little magical:

In his opinion, in later generations, when men and women in China were in love, the men would peel the shrimp shells for the women. When would it be the women's turn to help you peel the shells?

It's like a science fiction movie!
Even Liu Cixin wouldn't dare to write like this.

But this is how Lin Yuan and GAKKI-chan get along. It doesn’t matter what outsiders think. The key is that they like to get along this way, and that’s enough.

"I thought being your assistant would be very busy. It made me feel quite stressed and afraid of making mistakes at work. But now it seems quite easy," said GAKKI.

"Are you saying that I should be a hands-off boss and delegate all the work?" Lin Yuan asked with a smile.

"Yeah!" GAKKI nodded.

"Ah? Are you really dissatisfied?" Lin Yuan asked curiously.

As far as he knew, GAKKI-chan didn't seem like the kind of person who would give Lin Yuan advice like a loyal minister just because he was "lazy".

"I'm dissatisfied with myself." said GAKKI.

"what?"

"The sisters are so busy. They are all helping you and fully demonstrating their value. But I feel very uneasy sitting idle like this." said GAKKI.

After hearing her words, Lin Yuan understood.

Her old problem of lack of security has come back again.

Compared to Liu Yufei and the others, GAKKI has always been the most insecure person.

This is the nature of Japanese island culture engraved in its genes and is difficult to change.

Even though GAKKI-chan today has long believed that Lin Yuan would never abandon her, she still instinctively feels uneasy when she cannot do more things.

Just like many parents in China, who have been busy all their lives and don’t think about enjoying themselves after retirement, and are always unable to relax.

Some things are etched into our genes and are difficult to change.

In response to GAKKI-chan's concerns, Lin Yuan smiled and said, "You saw it too. During my IPO speech today, Xixi helped me blow all the bullshit out of the blue. How could I possibly have some free time in the days ahead?"

Shoot new movies, at least three a year. Next year's kendo tournament, and the new martial arts tournament I'm planning to host—once these things start, you'll definitely be busy."

After hearing Lin Yuan’s words, GAKKI felt relieved.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "There will be a dance party soon. Have you decided on the order in which I will invite the sisters to dance?"

After hearing GAKKI-chan's reminder, Lin Yuan suddenly realized that there would be a dance party soon.

The first person invited to dance must be Liu Yufei, and no one will have any objection.

But what about the second one?

Invite Taylor Swift?
Or invite Betty?
Lin Yuan picked up a plate of Iberian ham and honeydew melon and continued stuffing it into his mouth: "They are all minor problems, don't worry."

Seeing that he was confident, GAKKI-chan didn't say anything more.

At this time, a host in a white suit came to the center of the venue and said:
"Dear guests, excuse my interruption. Tonight's cocktail party is already halfway through, and we're about to enter the dancing time. The first dance is about to begin. I wish you all a pleasant evening."

As the host spoke, the lights in the venue gradually dimmed.

There is always a hint of ambiguity when men and women dance together.

Only when the lights are dim can the ambiguous atmosphere become more intense.

Guests who did not want to dance retreated to the outer sidelines and continued to communicate.

Sitting in that position, the subtext is that I don't want to accept the invitation to dance, so naturally no one would be so blind as to mention the invitation.

Those sitting in the inner circle are those who are willing to dance.

Now it's time to choose dance partners. Betty and Taylor stand up and walk to the periphery, obviously not wanting to accept an invitation for this first dance.

They all knew who Lin Yuan invited to his first dance.

Lin Yuan walked towards Liu Yufei, took her hand and walked straight to the middle of the dance floor.

"You are so rude. Why don't you even ask me if I want to dance with you?" Liu Yufei said with a smile, but the joy in her eyes was hard to conceal.

"Do I need to ask my wife if she wants to dance with me?"

Lin Yuan's words made Liu Yufei smile even more.

The music started, and in the dim light, Lin Yuan hugged Liu Yufei's slender waist and began to dance.

Dancing, of course, does not mean just moving steps foolishly.

The communication during the dance is the biggest reason why people are so passionate about it.

In the noisy music, if you want to talk, you have to put your mouth close to the other person's ear, otherwise you won't be able to hear what the other person is saying.

This will give men and women in ambiguous relationships a sense of further excitement.

In addition to talking, hugging each other's waist and feeling the elasticity and temperature of each other's skin is also a form of communication.

When dancing, the collision of bodies is naturally a form of communication.

This is the biggest reason why ballroom dancing is popular in Western social occasions.

Because this is really the best way to bring men and women closer and catalyze emotions, it is considered a marginal behavior in many cases.

A playboy can completely win a woman's heart with just a dance.

Although Lin Yuan and Liu Yufei have been a couple with an extremely close relationship for a long time, they still couldn't help feeling a throbbing in their hearts when they were in such an ambiguous atmosphere.

"I'm very happy today." Liu Yufei whispered in Lin Yuan's ear.

"Very happy?" Lin Yuan was a little unsure for a moment.

There were so many happy things today that he didn't know which one Liu Yufei was referring to.

"Don't laugh at me, but today I realized that I'm just as vain as those women who used to think they were vulgar." Liu Yufei continued:

"When I took the stage to speak on your behalf, my vanity gave me a small pleasure.

When I see outstanding women like Taylor Swift and Betty Boop willing to sacrifice part of themselves for my boyfriend, I also feel happy for your vanity.

I am just a vulgar little woman, stop joking and calling me a fairy."

Lin Yuan hugged her tightly and felt that she was even more adorable.

If she really was like a fairy, detached from the mundane world, she would certainly be more holy and beautiful, but also difficult to approach.

A little bit of vanity will only make Lin Yuan feel that Liu Yufei is more adorable.

Vanity is a woman's nature, just as lust is a man's nature.

There is no man in this world who is completely not lustful, and there is no woman who is completely not vain.

"So you took the initiative today and talked to them one by one?" Lin Yuan asked.

"Yes, I was prepared for some conflicts, but I didn't expect them to be so nice." Liu Yufei said, "But now I'm curious, you chose me for the first dance, who will you choose for the second dance?"

"Can I still dance with you? I'll only dance with you tonight." Lin Yuan asked.

"No way! I will be hated. After this dance, I will squat on the periphery to watch your show." Liu Yufei replied with a smile.

"Then you'll probably be disappointed. You won't be able to see any good show tonight," Lin Yuan replied.

Liu Yufei didn't say anything more. She hugged Lin Yuan with peace of mind and enjoyed the joy brought by the dance.

After the song ended, Liu Yufei left the dance floor, went outside, and started eating in silence.

She had been busy talking to the guests and had hardly eaten anything, so she was already hungry.

She didn't plan to continue dancing, so she just made up for her dinner.

GAKKI-chan was very considerate and ran up to sit next to Liu Yufei, chatting and eating with her.

This made Lin Yuan feel quite interesting.

The next moment, the music for the second dance started.

Betty was the first to arrive at the edge of the dance floor.

Taylor Swift originally planned to get up and walk into the inner field from the outside, but after seeing Betty's actions, she was stunned for a moment and sat back down.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yuan of course understood what Taylor meant: she had beaten Betty once, and this time she wanted Betty to jump first.

It’s hard to imagine that this is what Taylor Swift would do.

Lin Yuan walked forward with a smile, but instead of walking towards Betty, he walked directly towards Taylor Swift outside.

Under Taylor Swift's surprised gaze, Lin Yuan pulled her up and walked her onto the dance floor.

Liu Yufei, who was waiting to watch the show, was stunned for a moment and seemed to have guessed Lin Yuan's thoughts.

She nudged GAKKI-chan beside her and asked, "Can you dance?"

"You know a little bit, what's wrong?"

"Get ready, Lin Yuan will invite you to the next dance."

"Hmm? Shouldn't he ask Miss Adams? He already asked Miss Swift for the last dance. If he doesn't ask Miss Adams for the next one, she'll be mad, right? I don't really like dancing, so it's okay if I'm not invited."

"Betty won't be angry. Look, she's smiling."

Following Liu Yufei's pointing, GAKKI looked up and saw that Betty was indeed smiling and not angry at all.

GAKKI was a little confused: What on earth happened?
Originally, Miss Swift had chosen to give in. Wouldn't it be better for Lin Yuan to just take advantage of the situation and invite Miss Adams to dance a second dance?

Why did he choose Miss Swift over Miss Adams?

Even as Sissi said, for the third dance, she still didn't choose Miss Adams, but herself?

Soon, the second dance was over.

Just as Liu Yufei said, Lin Yuan came to GAKKI and invited her to dance the third dance.

GAKKI-chan was dragged onto the dance floor with a confused look on her face.

By the fourth dance, Lin Yuan finally came to Betty.

Betty smiled and said, "Finally? You really don't offend anyone?"

Lin Yuan didn't say anything and stretched out his hand.

Betty reached out and took hold, and they both stepped onto the dance floor.

The reason why he was not angry was that the order in which Lin Yuan invited them to dance tonight was exactly according to the order in which they knew each other.

Facing four women, using this method is undoubtedly the best way that everyone can accept.

"Every time I dance with you, you don't follow the routine." Betty whispered in Lin Yuan's ear.

She was referring, of course, to the time they had been at Adams Manor.

Lin Yuan replied, "Family members don't say sorry."

"But I insist. I'm sorry, but you'll be alone tonight."

"what?"

"We've made an appointment to go to a beauty spa together tonight, stay at the club, and go directly to the Nasdaq Stock Exchange tomorrow. Tonight, you'll be alone in the empty room."

Lin Yuan didn't expect that after the four women gathered together, he would have to go hungry tonight.

It doesn't mean that the more women you have, the more luck you will have.

Soon, the fourth dance was over.

Looking at the eager expressions of the young beauties around him, Lin Yuan decisively retreated to the outer circle, indicating that he would no longer dance.

The time passed quickly after that.

Soon, it was time for the dance to end.

After saying goodbye to Lin Yuan, the four girls went to a high-end beauty salon together.

Lin Yuan had no choice but to go downstairs and leave alone.

When he came downstairs, a red sports car stopped in front of him.

"Annie? Didn't you leave early for something?"

"I guess you'll be having trouble sleeping alone tonight, so you've come back. Come with me?"

Lin Yuan nodded, climbed into Annie's car and left with her.

This was destined to be a night of continuous gunfire.

……

……

On August 2004, 8, Linyuan Pictures was listed on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange for the first time.

In the VIP room for big customers, Lin Yuan and everyone else stared at the quotation board.

Due to daylight saving time, the Nasdaq stock exchange will open at 9: a.m. Eastern Time.

At this time, it was already 9:29 and the trading was about to begin.

"Are you worried? This is your first time experiencing your own company's stock being listed and traded." Apparently, last night at the beauty salon was very good, and Betty looked radiant today.

"A little bit, I guess. I'm risking my own credit and always hope that the stock price will go up a bit more," Lin Yuan replied.

"Don't worry, it's just a matter of how much it will increase today. You don't know how popular you are, and you can see it with your own eyes today," Betty replied.

Soon, the time came to 9:30.

As soon as the market opened, a large amount of transaction information about Linyuan Pictures was immediately refreshed on the big screen.

10 pending orders were generated instantly, 98% of which were buy orders and only 2% were sell orders!

In this situation where almost all the orders are buy, the quotes start to rise continuously.

The small number of sell orders were immediately matched and executed, and disappeared in an instant.

A large number of unfulfilled buy orders immediately gave rise to buy orders with higher bids.

$10.5, no transaction.

$10.6, no transaction.

$10.7, no transaction.

……

In less than five minutes, the buy price had risen to $11.5, but the transaction still could not be completed.

Even if there were a small number of sell orders, they would immediately be like a small stone falling into the surging wave of buy orders and be swallowed up in an instant.

This means that the stock price of Linyuan Pictures has soared by 15% as soon as the market opened!

However, this huge disparity in the buy-sell order ratio indicates that the stock price is still far from reaching the range of price game.

What buyers and sellers can agree on now is that the current share price of $11.5 has not yet reached the transaction price.

It’s just that the buyer doesn’t know what the appropriate price is, so he raises the price a little bit to test the price range.

The buyer hopes that if someone sells at this price, will it?

Wouldn’t that be a great bargain?

The reason for this delay is that according to the US securities law, listed companies do not participate in pre-market trading on the first day of listing.

Therefore, there were no pre-market orders, otherwise the price of Linyuan Pictures might have been negotiated to an exaggerated price before the market opened and would have soared directly to the sky.

Finally, it seemed that a large fund could not wait for the price to rise slowly, so it directly placed an order to buy 100 million shares, and the purchase price jumped directly to US$13!

For investors who hold Linyuan Pictures at $10, if they sell them at this time, they will immediately make a 30% profit.

This is such a huge profit, the best thing to do is to put the money in pocket.

Will anyone be tempted?

Sure enough, some people were tempted.

This buy order for 100 million shares at $13 finally began to be partially executed.

Transaction records are not refreshed:

13 shares were traded at a price of $13.

25 shares were traded at a price of $13.

8 shares were traded at a price of $13.

……

After seeing these transaction information, Lin Yuan immediately understood that those who chose to cash out at this time were all small retail investors.

Therefore, the quantity of each transaction is quite small, and the big investors who actually hold a large number of stocks are not moved at all and are still waiting and watching.

The buy order was digested quite slowly, with less than 5000 shares traded in total.

But even so, this payment transaction will come to an end.

Because a larger buy order directly overwhelmed it:
200 million shares buy order, quoted price $14!
