"How to take the initiative?" Yu Dong asked.
"They should make a fuss about the pricing method. Under normal circumstances, the IPO pricing initiative lies in the hands of investment banks. The investment banks will agree on a price based on the prices of benchmark companies in the market and the needs of institutional investors. In this process

Of course investors are happy."
"So what do you think Larry and the others are going to do?"
"It is very likely that a 'Dutch auction' will be used. The so-called Dutch auction is when the company announces the number of shares to be issued and the price range, and then investors submit orders based on this announcement and write down clearly what price they want on the order.
How many stocks are purchased, and finally the auction is conducted from high to low."
"Is this any different from an ordinary auction?" Yu Dong asked.
