The venue of the banquet was set at the Hilton Hotel, which is where Zheng Yan and his party stayed. Although Leonard is the protagonist today, by the time they arrived at the banquet venue, many so-called celebrities had already gathered.

Although Cisco went public on the first day, the change in stock price after the listing has explained everything, and it will be a rising Internet star. The people who attended the banquet may have nothing to do with the Internet, but it did not prevent everyone from taking the initiative to befriend Leonard. At the moment, Leonard, as Cisco's largest shareholder, is already a standard billionaire, but this is just the beginning.

"Leonard, I regret my decision a little, if I had been more courageous, maybe I would have had the opportunity to ring the bell with you today. ”

As soon as Zheng Yan and the others entered the banquet hall, a middle-aged white man walked over.

"Charlie, welcome to our celebration party..."

Although Zheng Yan didn't know him, Leonard was obviously familiar with the other party and greeted him very warmly.

"Zheng Yan, that's Charlie Allison of Goldman Sachs, when Cisco was preparing for the last round of financing, he once approached Leonard, but the conditions he gave were less than half of yours, he was only willing to pay 50 million US dollars, but he wanted 15% of Cisco's shares, so Leonard directly refused. ”

Bill Miller knew that Zheng Yan had no acquaintances, so he kept following Zheng Yan and introduced Zheng Yan to the people who participated in the banquet.

Speaking of Goldman Sachs, which is also a world-famous investment bank with a history of more than 100 years, Zheng Yan's Yanhuang investment is compared with Goldman Sachs, that is the difference between ants and elephants. Fortunately, Zheng Yan was not discouraged, although the Goldman Sachs family has a big business, but when it comes to personal assets, even the Goldman Sachs family may not be able to surpass him.

Just as Bill Miller introduced the people at the venue to Zheng Yan, Leonard accompanied Charlie Allison over.

"Charlie, let me introduce to you, this is Zheng Yan, a shareholder of Cisco, don't you want to know about the last financing? Zheng Yan is the investor of the last financing, I think, he will help you answer the doubts in your heart. ”

"Hello Mr. Zheng, I'm Charlie Allison and I'm from Goldman Sachs. If it weren't for Leonard standing here, I really can't believe that I lost to a young man. Of course, I don't mean to underestimate you, but you look too young. ”

I have to say that no matter who he faces, Zheng Yan is most impressed by his age. No matter how old and spicy Zheng Yan is, after all, he is only twenty years old, and his immature face is always easy to attract the attention of others.

"It's okay, Mr. Allison, age is really my current shortcoming, and when I'm negotiating with people, it's always hard to convince people what I say, and I'm used to that. ”

"Well, if you don't mind. I have a question, although the financing price I gave at the beginning was not high, but it was relatively reasonable, I also asked Leonard just now, but he still refused to disclose your original financing situation, I don't know if you would like to answer it for me. ”

The more successful Cisco is, the more it means that Charlie Allison's investment has failed, and as an investor, Charlie Allison doesn't mind investing in failure, but still wants to figure out where he has failed.

Zheng Yan glanced at Leonard and saw that he didn't mind, so he said: "There is nothing to hide about this, I raised 100 million US dollars in exchange for 10% of Cisco's original shares, and in addition, Yanhuang Investment under my name is the stock underwriting agency listed on Cisco, and it is underwriting. ”

"Well, it seems that my vision is indeed not as good as yours, and my courage in investment is not as good as that of me, and I am convinced of my loss. ”

After hearing the answer given by Zheng Yan, Charlie Allison also felt helpless, and now Cisco's success proves Zheng Yan's investment vision, but before it is really listed, it is only analyzed from the perspective of the market, Zheng Yan is facing huge risks.

After all, Charlie Allison works for Goldman Sachs, although he has a lot of autonomy in his hands, but every investment decision he makes must go through strict market review, and cannot be like Zheng Yan, who directly uses money to smash it, which is simple and rude.

"Okay Charlie, today is our celebration banquet, let him go over the topic of financing, maybe in the future, there will be opportunities for cooperation between us. ”

If you have been entangled in the topic of financing, you are undoubtedly revealing Charlie Allison's scars, whether you can use it in the future or not, at least there is no need to offend the other party, so Leonard directly pulled Charlie Allison away.

"Zheng Jun, although our Yanhuang Investment has just entered the investment world, you have successfully defeated your opponent. ”

After Charlie Allison left with a dejected face, Miyuki Aso made a joke to Zheng Yan. In her memory, as long as Zheng Yan wants to do something, so far, there has been no case of failure.

"Okay, Miyuki, I didn't think about hitting anyone, and besides, our Yanhuang investment is not aimed at fighting people, our purpose is to make money. ”

Looking at the global investment community, although there are many investment companies, there are countless opportunities to invest, so Zheng Yan has never thought about which company or which investor to use as a competitor.

"By the way, Zheng Jun, haven't you always asked me to collect information on investors? A large part of the people attending today's banquet are investors from major investment companies, and I think you can take the opportunity to get in touch with them. ”

Regarding Aso Miyuki's suggestion, Zheng Yan had a momentary heartbeat, but after that moment, he dispelled this idea again.

"Forget it, we don't have any plans to do more business at the moment, but Bill can handle these things alone. Moreover, at present, our Yanhuang Investment is still a newcomer to the investment world, and no one will be interested. ”

Casting a wide net was Zheng Yan's previous plan, and now with Bill Miller's joining, Zheng Yan's requirements for investors are much higher. Although the investors on the scene are the pillars of major investment companies, it is precisely for this reason that it is more difficult to poach people, and Zheng Yan does not want to touch the ashes.

"Hey, isn't this the famous Bill Miller, I haven't heard from you for so long, I didn't expect to meet here. ”

Just when Zheng Yan and the others were chatting, an annoying voice came. At the same time, Zheng Yan noticed that Bill Miller's face suddenly became a little ugly.
