Chapter 865 Nasdaq's Inflection Point

It is said that each institution or organization has its own professional actuaries and analysts, as well as the data model at the bottom of the box, so there will generally not be too much deviation in the judgment of the general economic trend.

That's why Molly suspected Howard had a conspiracy, not Takong.

But Wu Tao didn't care about this.

With the impending collapse of the Internet bubble, protecting one's own three-acre land is the first to bear the brunt.

As for what other people like, let him go.

Moreover, to be honest, it is really thanks to the endorsement of a large institution like Berkshire that Apocalypse Investment can successfully sell off its shares and earn a lot more.

As a result, Wu Tao was so indifferent, but Molly was a little unwilling.

"Dear Wu, recently AOL has put a lot of effort into the promotion of its oicq subsidiary. From advertising to event planning, it is said that almost 20 million US dollars have been spent!"

Wu Tao nodded, "I know."

"Why is Facebook's promotion fee only a mere 2 million dollars?" Molly was anxious, "Although I am not professional in specific business, I know that oicq is a competitor of Facebook to a certain extent. Their market share is large, Facebook’s share is naturally going to be big. Isn’t it?”

"You're right." Wu Tao affirmed first, "But under the current situation of the Internet industry, I don't think there is any need to rush the promotion of Facebook. Believe me, you will understand what I mean after two months at most."

After hanging up the phone, Molly was still confused.

Helplessly, it was agreed at the beginning that the operation and development of Facebook, several of their shareholders will not express their opinions, and everything is decided by Apocalypse Investment and the company's management team.

Now watching Howard slam money into OICQ and occupy the market recklessly, she can only do nothing.

I hope Huaxia Wu's judgment can be as accurate as ever...

After hanging up Molly's call, Wu Tao couldn't let it go.

After all, the Facebook project is an important link that maintains the relationship between Apocalypse Investment and the European and American consortiums, and there is no room for loss.

Therefore, he strives to be cautious when making any decisions.

So he picked up the phone and called Wu Yingying. After a while, the overseas call was connected, and Wu Tao asked directly, "What is the Nasdaq index today?"

"It has broken through 4900 points!"

"It's coming soon..." Wu Tao murmured, "Continue to pay attention, and when it exceeds 5000 points, let me know as soon as possible."

"Yes, boss!" Wu Yingying wrote down the number 5,000 on the sticky note, and added the word "turning point" next to it.

Although the boss didn't say it clearly, since it was his main concern, this number must be not simple.

Wu Yingying firmly believed.

Skyview Company.

Seeing that Wu Tao hung up the phone, An Rong put a copy of the application report submitted by Ni Guangnan in front of Wu Tao and said, "You have cut off a lot of investment from so many Internet companies, so Academician Ni's chip direction also has to be done." Take a knife?"

"Who said that?" Wu Tao took the report and said, "We have to analyze the specific situation!"

Opening the report typed by Ni Guangnan, it turned out that it was about applying for the promotion fee of LAMC61 single-chip microcomputer.

After several months of optimization and improvement, the LAMC61 chip design was formally finalized and submitted to the fab for production.

As an international team, Ni Guangnan and Tao Changxuan are full of confidence in this publicly released chip product, which has been intensively cultivated for the past two years.

This can be seen from the statement in the report that an additional investment of 30 million will be required as soon as the opening is made.

Of course, Ni Guangnan also roughly listed the specific uses of the 30 million investment. Wu Tao glanced at it and felt that there was nothing wrong with it. Without further ado, he signed his name on the back.

Seeing this scene, An Rong was dumbfounded: "Not at all?"

Wu Tao returned the report to An Rong and said, "This request is reasonable, why cut it?" Then he joked: "Besides, Lenovo's Lao Liu is waiting to see the jokes of Academician Ni. If I dare to If you cut the budget of Academician Ni, the old man dares to cut me!"

In fact, in terms of LAMC61 marketization plan, Wu Tao's expected goal is not high.

At least it is much lower than Ni Guangnan's own expectations for this chip.

After all, in the high-tech field of chips, localization is not so easy to do. It may take three, even five, or even ten years to do it.

But whether it is three years, five years, or ten years, Wu Tao will continue to do so firmly.

It's just that he has to take into account the psychology of important talents in this area while keeping the investor's determination unwavering.

Otherwise, if the enthusiasm of the R&D team members is lost, no matter how much money he invests, he may not be able to do it.

The days are turning into May.

The weather in the capital is starting to heat up, and the campus is already in full bloom, with skirts flying.

Since these days, Huaxia Internet companies have also been known as the darlings of the international media and one of the hot words in domestic newspaper news.

Because the second Huaxia Internet company, Sohu Portal, will be listed on Nasdaq in three days, and its gorgeous turn is brewing.

Various newspapers and media are generally optimistic about this IPO. Some even use the analogy of NetEase's initial listing glory to deduce that it seems to be orderly, but in fact it's all TM.

After Wu Tao glanced randomly, he threw the newspaper aside.

Many times, it doesn't feel good when everyone is drunk and I am alone.

She drank the coffee in the cup in one gulp, looked up and saw Yang Wei at the front desk leading the slightly fatter Ding Lei in.

"Hey, Mr. Ding, you are such a rare guest!" Wu Tao got up to meet him, and let Ding Lei sit on the sofa.

Ding Lei was enjoying the spring breeze at this time, so he naturally ignored the teasing meaning in Wu Tao's words, and sat down on the sofa with great determination, even feeling a little smug in his heart.

All along, he always felt that he was inferior to Wu Tao. Now that Tianqi Investment has sold all the NetEase stocks in his hands, he feels that he can finally be on an equal footing with Wu Tao.

"Mr. Wu is really low-key these days. I haven't heard of any big moves from you for a long time." Ding Leixing said hastily: "If I were you, I wouldn't be able to sit still. Now that the situation is good, don't worry about him. Eleventh, hurry up and get Tianxing Games and Tianjing Company listed!"

Wu Tao leaned against the back of the sofa, then raised Erlang's legs and said, "So you are not me. I obviously hold a good hand, so of course I will play it at the most suitable time."

"Okay!" Ding Lei nodded heavily, and said bluntly: "Then what will be the result of Sohu's listing, what do you think?"

Wu Tao raised his brows, and there was nothing he couldn't say about it, "If you're optimistic, Sohu's share price can only rise by $20; if you're pessimistic, it might break even if it goes public."

Now the Nasdaq index is close to 5,000 points, and Wu Tao is not sure what happens every day.

Ding Lei said optimistically: "Impossible, I think it will start at $30!"

Wu Tao didn't say much, he spread his hands and said, "Then let's wait and see."
