The day after Zheng Yan arrived in New York, he put all the $10 billion collected by several major families into Yanhuang Investment's fund custody account at JPMorgan Chase.

On July 7, fund traders were still buying oil futures in an orderly manner, and Zheng Yan, together with Leonard, came to the NASDAQ trading center in Times Square, New York.

New York's Times Square is located in the Manhattan neighborhood and is known as the "crossroads of the world". However, since the Great Depression of the thirties, the atmosphere of the square has changed, and it is filled with various S-love performance venues, countless theaters that play X Love movies all night long, and shops selling all kinds of cheap tourist souvenirs. It is for this reason that New York's Times Square was considered a symbol of danger and corruption in New York City from 1996 to 1990.

Unfortunately, when Zheng Yan arrived, New York's Times Square was still under this dark history, so it did not see the prosperity of later generations, with colorful neon, oversized movie screens, and all kinds of dynamic music, not a single one. Fortunately, none of these have anything to do with the purpose of Zheng Yan's trip, so he was not disappointed.

Since the bell ringing ceremony began at half past nine, and Zheng Yan and the others arrived at the scene at only nine o'clock, they could only wait at the scene.

"Isn't it just a bell, why is it so troublesome, I wouldn't have come if I had known. ”

Zheng Yan also bought formal clothes for this ceremony, but he rarely dressed up like this, so he always felt a little uncomfortable, and couldn't help but complain to Miyuki Aso.

"Zheng Jun, don't underestimate this ceremony, you must know how many thousands of companies are listed on the NASDAQ today, but there are very few who have the honor to ring the bell. ”

Although Aso Miyuki knew that Zheng Yan didn't care about these things, she couldn't help but say that in her opinion, it was a rare honor to be able to ring the bell.

It is definitely impossible to quit now, so Zheng Yan began to look at the crowd around him, although the market has not yet opened, the scene is already crowded with people. Reporters from the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and other countries are also prepared, but fortunately, the newspaper without the Chinese logo has made Zheng Yan feel a lot more at ease.

"The ceremony is about to begin, so let's see if everything that needs to be prepared is ready. ”

"Reporters from various newspapers have arrived, so they quickly arrange for someone to receive them. ”

"See if there is anything that needs to be cleaned on the site, and if so, arrange someone to deal with it immediately. ”

“...”

The Nasdaq Stock Market also takes the bell ringing ceremony very seriously, and a middle-aged man keeps issuing orders to make sure nothing goes wrong with the ceremony.

"Zheng Yan, before the ceremony begins, a reporter friend wants to have a simple interview with us, do you want to come along?"

Just as Zheng Yan was looking around, Leonard walked over.

When he was in Huaxia and Hong Kong City, Zheng Yan never liked to expose himself to flashing lights, mainly because he didn't want to be harassed by reporters, but also to protect his privacy. But now in the United States, Zheng Yan knows that in Western countries, if you want to gain a foothold in the upper class, dealing with the media must be essential, so she did not refuse Leonard's kindness.

"Mr. Bossak, do you have any expectations for the company's share price once it goes public?"

"Mr. Bosak, I heard that Cisco has been planning to go public for a long time, what is the reason for your postponement until now?"

"Mr. Bossak, do you think Cisco will be the next Internet miracle after Microsoft?"

“...”

After Leonard and Zheng Yan came to the media reporters, all kinds of problems followed.

If it was just an ordinary company going public, maybe media reporters wouldn't care much, but today's Internet-related industry, after the success of Microsoft, has attracted countless people's familiarity. Cisco's routers, in particular, have attracted media attention because they have shown people the possibility of computer networking.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is difficult for me to answer everyone's questions one by one because the bell ringing ceremony is about to take place, so I will briefly answer a few questions I just heard. ”

"First of all, let me talk about the reason for the delay, the reason why we are delaying the launch is because we are working on a new generation of routers. Not long ago, my friend, Zheng Yan, provided us with ideas for the development of a new generation of routers, and now the new router is already in production, and the performance is at least ten times higher than the previous router. ”

Before Leonard could answer other questions, the reporters present had already turned their attention to Zheng Yan.

"Hello Mr. Zheng, are you an employee of Cisco?"

"Mr. Zheng, are you Chinese, Japanese, or Korean?"

"Mr. Zheng, do you speak English?"

"Mr. Zheng..."

The various questions that came to him instantly filled Zheng Yan's ears, making him feel a little big.

"Hello everyone, I'm Zheng Yan, I'm from Huaxia, and I'm currently one of Cisco's shareholders..."

"Fellow journalists, I'm very sorry, we need to prepare for the bell ringing ceremony, if there are any questions, my wife Tina will answer them on my behalf. ”

Just when Zheng Yan didn't know how to deal with it, the staff of NASDAQ came over and asked Leonard to prepare for the bell ringing ceremony, and Zheng Yan, as one of the people of the bell ringing ceremony, was also freed from the siege of reporters.

"Zheng Yan, seeing the enthusiasm of the reporters at the scene, my confidence in the company's stock price has increased a lot. ”

"Leonard, I regret coming to this ceremony now, the memory of the scene is really terrifying. ”

"Oh Zheng Yan, don't you think these reporter friends are very cute, whether our company's stock price will rise in the future has a lot to do with their publicity. ”

Perhaps it was the difference in ideas between Easterners and Westerners, but Leonard did not feel uncomfortable at all, but made people feel that he enjoyed it.

"Hello Mr. Bosak, the market is about to open, please prepare for the bell-ringing ceremony. A NASDAQ staff member said to Leonard.

"Okay, though, this ceremony will be performed by the two of us together, and I hope you can arrange it. ”

Although this kind of ceremony is usually performed by the company's legal person, there are cases where many people are together, so the staff member did not care.

Originally, Zheng Yan thought that there was really a bell to ring, but when he stood at the scene, he found that there was no clock at all, only an electronic button.

As the countdown began to "30, 29, 28... 0”

Leonard pressed the button and completed the bell-ringing ceremony.
