American History 1988

``` Debt, economic decline, immigration; hippies, anti-government, freedom. At the end of the 1980s, a wave of change encompassed a country boy from the Rust Belt. As the gate for upward mobility was on the verge of closing, he struggled to move forward. College, Silicon Valley, entrepreneurship; HP, Apple, Microsoft. To become part of the 1%, or even 0.1%, he sacrificed a lot, but also gained a lot. ```

```

"Bang!" The confetti sprayed again toward the ceiling of the trading floor as Dean and his fellow Byte Company executives clapped and cheered ecstatically.

Underneath the stock ticker, the giant electronic screen froze Byte Company's closing price at 47 US dollars.

Unfortunately, it was slightly short of the 50 dollars Valentine had always prayed for, but no one felt any regret.

Because this was already a miracle: an 18-dollar issue price, a 36-dollar opening price, a 47-dollar closing price.

Come on, the situation was splendid.

From nine in the morning until four in the afternoon, Byte Company's market value had tripled to 2.6 times its original size!

This was what happened in just one day, indeed, IPOs are an exciting and fascinating event.

"Gentlemen!" Durell stood beneath the giant screen, wildly waving his arms, "I declare! Now! Byte Company's market value is 4.33 billion US dollars!"

"Oh~!"

"Yeah~!"

A beast-like cheer instantly ignited the erupting crowd.
