  Chapter 1524 The Stock Lifting Storm

   "Peer~"

  Xia Jingxing bowed his waist and lowered his head, softly calling out the name of the sleeping baby who was lying on the bed.

   Looking at the pink baby in front of him, Xia Jingxing couldn't help showing a smile at the corner of his mouth.

   That's right, he likes to be a father again.

  Christina gave birth to a baby two days ago and gave him a little padded jacket.

   The only regret is that when he arrived in the United States, the child had already been born for a few hours, and he was not able to witness the joy for the first time.

Xia Zerui jumped up abruptly, his short legs were hanging in the air, his hands tightly grasped the edge of the bed, showing a small head and looking at his sister whose eyes were closed, then tilted his head and reminded his father in a low voice: "You Be quiet, don't wake her up, she's a crybaby."

   "Don't say that about my sister, because you were also a crybaby when you were young."

  Xia Jingxing gently rubbed his son's head with a smile. The little guy is over three years old, and he has grown so much, and he has become more talkative than before.

  Xia Zerui jumped out of bed, made a face to his father, and then ran out, just bumped into Christina who entered the room, and the little guy fell on his butt.

   As a result, he didn't cry out in pain, he quickly got up from the ground and ran again.

   Kristina's scolding sounded behind him soon after.

   Realizing that his mother was really angry, Xia Zerui hurried back to admit his mistake.

  Xia Jingxing watched this scene with a smile, the boss has always been lawless at home, but there are still people who can cure him.

  It may be that Christina's voice was a little louder, and the little daughter on the bed was suddenly awakened and began to cry.

   couldn't care about reprimanding her son, Kristina hurriedly went to coax her little daughter again, Xia Zerui naturally took this opportunity to slip away.

   "Thank you for your hard work, these two little guys are not fuel-efficient lamps."

  Xia Jingxing smiled and hugged his daughter from Kristina's arms, but he was obviously not an expert at taking care of a baby, he couldn't coax the baby for a long time, and was still crying loudly.

   "Let me come, she must be hungry!"

   After saying that, Kristina took the baby back again, then picked up her clothes and started breastfeeding the baby.

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said, "Has the media reported about your childbirth?"

   Christina replied without raising her head: "Of course it's reported, they're all scolding you!"

  Xia Jingxing made fun of himself and changed the subject quickly and said, "Facebook is about to usher in the second round of stock lifting period, do you and the management have any countermeasures?

  Leave it alone, and Facebook’s stock price may fall below a floor price. "

   Xia Jingxing returned to China some time ago and was busy with trivial matters such as WeChat publishing and planning the 3Q war, so he never cared about dealing with Facebook.

   Facebook was listed on June 1st this year, and it has been on the market for more than five months.

   In the first two months of listing, the stock price rose steadily, reaching a maximum of more than 50 US dollars per share, and the market value once approached the 200 billion US dollar mark.

   However, the good times did not last long, and Facebook soon ushered in the critical day of the 90th day of listing.

   Then, a large number of shareholders sold the first batch of unbanned stocks on rallies.

   In the face of this move, Facebook’s stock price naturally suffered a severe setback, first falling below $50, and then below the issue price of $40.

   At present, Facebook’s share price is hovering around $30, multiplied by the total share capital of 3.06 billion, the market value is less than $100 billion, and only more than $90 billion is left. The stock price has dropped 40% from the highest point this year.

   The ups and downs of the stock price have affected the confidence of many investors. If Facebook does not take effective measures as soon as possible, when the 180th day of the stock lifting period comes, there will be a large number of shareholders selling Facebook shares.

  Once a large-scale shareholder "flight" occurs again, it is conceivable that Facebook's stock price will definitely avalanche again.

  Christina said lightly: "Humans are complex animals, and their thoughts change all the time.

   In the past, they recognized the growth and value of the startup Facebook.

   Now, they think the season has come and it is time to harvest.

   I have no reason to stop them!

  What I can do is to continue to unswervingly promote the transformation of the mobile Internet. "

  Xia Jingxing frowned, listening to Kristina's tone, there should be many shareholders who don't plan to continue to play with Facebook, and must harvest investment dividends in time.

  Investment, exit, this is understandable, it is a process that a normal investment institution will go through.

   But rushing to sell stocks is a bit stupid, and it is not conducive to Facebook’s follow-up capital operation.

  Xia Jingxing said: "You can rest in peace, leave this matter to me, and I will invite everyone to talk."

  …

  …

  Palo Alto.

  A long dining table covered with a white tablecloth is placed on the lawn of an ordinary villa covering an area of ​​thousands of square meters.

  The table was full of Facebook investors, and all the shareholders holding a large number of Facebook shares, such as Blayer, Andrew, and Principal John, were there.

  Xia Jingxing, as the initiator of the meeting, took the seat at the top of course.

   He looked at the group of old friends who were sitting on the left and right sides of him, and smiled: "Today I called everyone here, I mainly want to talk about one thing, the second round of Facebook's stock market ban!"

   Hearing this, a group of shareholders showed such expressions as expected.

   They basically guessed the intention of Xia Jingxing to invite them to the meeting.

   A group of people did not speak, silently watching Xia Jingxing, waiting for his next words.

   "First of all, I would like to state that I have no objection to everyone selling Facebook stocks. After all, everyone has invested in Facebook for so many years, and now they have finally ushered in a return period. It is normal to cash in stocks to improve life."

  Xia Jingxing paused, glanced around at the people present, and said, "But I really don't recommend everyone to cash out Facebook stocks in an almost crazy attitude."

   Hearing this, Breyer and the representatives sent by Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley all looked a little unnatural.

   In the last round of stock lifting, the three institutions were the fastest, and they made a lot of money by selling at the high point of the stock price.

Xia Jingxing did not look at the gloomy faces of the three, and continued to say to himself: "Everyone is an important shareholder of Facebook, and each person or institution holds a lot of shares, unless you can sell all of them at once. stock, otherwise, this is a loss-making business."

Seeing that many people around him were looking at him, Breyer couldn't sit still and defended himself: "Daren, Axel is Facebook's third largest shareholder, holding more than 150 million shares of Facebook. book stock.

   We only sold 10 million shares last time and recovered the investment cost. "

   Hearing the words, Andrew and the puppy immediately rolled their eyes, and Blayer was obviously talking nonsense with his eyes open.

  Because the investment cost of Axel was recovered when it sold 1% of its shares to DST a few years ago, the more than 100 million shares now held are all net profits.

   In other words, Axel has no pressure to return the capital at all. It is purely because Facebook’s stock price is relatively high, and it is just taking the opportunity to cash out.

   Both of them despised Breyer in their hearts, because the two of them were unsold, and they firmly believed that the future development of Facebook would not stop there.

  Xia Jingxing nodded slightly towards Breyer, not too lazy to expose Breyer's little thought, and said, "We have no right to interfere with Axel's choice.

However, Facebook’s current market value has fallen below $100 billion, and the second round of stock lifting is coming soon. If you continue to follow the same cash-out method in the previous round of lifting, I estimate that Facebook’s market value is likely to drop to 500. billions of dollars or less. "

   Hearing Xia Jingxing's last sentence, the dozen or so shareholders or representatives present all started a buzzing discussion.

   This is Facebook, whose market value once approached 200 billion US dollars, and its momentum is catching up with Google, the world's largest Internet company. Now its market value is about to fall below 50 billion US dollars?

   Thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is no joke, it is really possible.
