February 6, 1978, Chinese New Year's Eve, 16 Pak Ka Road.

After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the family gathered on the sofa in the living room, watching the Spring Festival Gala of Phoenix Terrace, laughing and laughing, a picture of family joy.

Grandma also handed the three red envelopes that had been prepared to the two little ones and the younger sister who had not yet left the cabinet.

"Tingting, you're not too young, it's time to find a boyfriend. When Huo's mother saw this scene, she immediately talked about it as a cliché, and mentioned Huo Tingting's love affair.

Huo Tingting pursed her lips and said nonchalantly: "Mom, what's the hurry, I'm not in a hurry." ”

"You're not in a hurry, I'm in a hurry!"

Huo's mother saw her daughter's indifferent look, and immediately scolded angrily: "You will be 28 in a few months, and your brother and you are already eight years old and five years old at your age." ”

Huo Tingting retorted: "Isn't my brother also married at the age of 28? It's nothing a few years later, and besides, I can support myself by myself now, so why bother me with someone every day." ”

"Your brother got married at the age of 27, and your brother and your sister-in-law have been dating for several years. ”

"Okay Mom, next time, let's talk about it next time. ”

Huo Tingting shrugged her nose, obviously not wanting to continue discussing this topic with her mother, and waved her hand perfunctorily.

"Next time, next time, you came back last month and said it was next time. Look at your brother who has given birth to Xiaobao and Xiaohu now, you are almost thirty, I heard that a woman in her thirties is not easy to have a baby......

Seeing that Huo's mother and Huo Tingting gradually quarreled, during the Chinese New Year, Grandma had to come out and say haha: "Okay, okay, don't quarrel, Tingting doesn't want to drag you don't force her, it's much better to find a suitable one than to find an improvised." ”

"It's not Mom, Tingting is so old and so ignorant, you see Xiufen got married last year, and she was pregnant when she went for a check-up a few days ago. Or your brother won't let me worry about it, get married and have children......" Huo's mother seemed to be too anxious about her daughter's age, and said there vigorously.

Huo Yaowen couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw his mother pulling the topic to himself again, although he also hoped that his younger sister could find Ruyi Langjun to marry and have children as soon as possible, but the premise of all this was to follow Tingting's own ideas, and it was not necessarily a good thing to force it.

And to put it mildly, now the Huo family is not an ordinary family, not to mention finding a boyfriend, at least find someone who knows how to make progress, so that Huo Tingting can marry in the future, and Huo Yaowen can rest assured.

"Alright, Mom. ”

Seeing Huo's mother's unyielding appearance, Huo Yaowen had no choice but to interject: "Mom, it's up to her whether the younger sister wants to shoot or not, it's not good for you to let Tingting find a boyfriend casually." And it's not that I can't afford to raise my younger sister, if she wants to be at home all the time, then she will always be at home. ”

"Hehe, brother is right. ”

Huo Tingting watched her brother speak, her mother was stunned, and she immediately came to Huo Yaowen's side, and said to Huo's mother with a smile: "Mom, my brother has said that if I don't get married, I will support me for the rest of my life, you are still not at ease." ”

As she spoke, she turned to Anna and asked, "Sister-in-law, don't you mind?"

"No, of course not. Anna smiled slightly, she also understood this, it was nothing more than that Huo's mother was anxious that her daughter was too old to find a boyfriend, but she couldn't open her mouth for this kind of thing, so she could only listen.

"This ......" Huo's mother looked at her son's and daughter's attitude, and wanted to say that it was still a long time before she sighed and said, "It's up to you." ”

Huo Tingting looked at her mother as if she was a little sad, so she also leaned over, hugged her mother's arm, and said coquettishly: "Mom, I didn't say that I wouldn't get married, but I didn't find a suitable one, so I don't have to worry about it." ”

Huo Mu saw that her little sister was coquettish, and her heart softened, and she grinned: "Okay, okay, I'll see when you find a boyfriend you're satisfied with." ”

Seeing the mother and daughter and He Meimei, and the appearance of releasing their previous suspicions, Huo's father dared to interject: "That's right, don't be too anxious, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren." ”

"You talk a lot. Huo Mu glared at him.

"I ......"

Seeing his father's embarrassed appearance, Huo Yaowen wanted to laugh a little, but he still helped to interrupt: "Okay, okay, watch TV, there is a special program on Phoenix Channel today, and it's quite large-scale." ”

This year, not only Phoenix TV held the Spring Festival Gala, but also Wireless TV and Li's TV station.

It's just unexpected that this time Phoenix Channel is doing a live broadcast, not only indoor live broadcast, but also outdoor live broadcast.

The indoor live broadcast is still the same as usual, singing, drama, dancing and so on.

As for the outdoor live broadcast, more than 30 lion dance teams and various performances were found in the square of Victoria Harbour, in order to fully show the joyful atmosphere of the Spring Festival.

……

The New Year of 1978 was quickly spent in the midst of these family chores.

A few days later, Davide had also counted the assets in Europe and North America, and looked for Huo Yaowen with several thick statistical reports.

"Boss, this is an asset in Europe, this is North America, this is Asia Pacific. ”

Davide handed the three statistical reports to Huo Yaowen separately.

After taking over, Huo Yaowen first read the European asset statistics report, which had a lot of pages and was written in great detail, and he also read it very seriously.

By the time all three reports were read, an hour had passed.

"Well, the report is well done. ”

Huo Yaowen closed the report, praised Davide's efficiency, and then said: "I am going to list Huanyu Group, do you say it will be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, or in the United States or the United Kingdom?"

Hearing this, Davide pondered for a few seconds and said: "I personally prefer the United States, as of now, the highest annual trading volume of the exchanges in Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, and the United States is the United States, and the New York Stock Exchange is currently the largest number of listed companies in the world, and it is also the exchange with the highest total market capitalization of listed companies......

Davide obviously prepared in advance and did a lot of work, fully explaining the pros and cons of listing in Hong Kong, the United Kingdom and the United States.

After saying this, Davide saw that the boss was silent, as if he was thinking about something, and he also paused and continued: "Although I personally prefer to be listed in the United States, this may not be suitable for you, boss. ”

"Oh?" Huo Yaowen raised his eyebrows.

"There is an antitrust law in the United States, that is, an antitrust law, and if your Huanyu Group is listed in the United States, it is easy to touch this antitrust law......

Although the regulations of the US antitrust law are clear, to be honest, it is very bad to enforce, and it has been 121 years since the first antitrust law was passed in 1890.

In the beginning, there were not many cases that could be enforced, and in 1911-1930 there were more anti-monopoly cases, and between 1930 and 1944 there were fewer anti-monopoly cases.

After World War II, in the 80s, anti-monopoly cases began to increase again, and from 1980 to 1988, the anti-monopoly law seemed to be ignored by everyone, and from 1988 to the present, anti-monopoly cases began to increase again.

In the presidential election in the United States every four years, if the president elected is more tolerant of big business and will not file a lot of anti-monopoly lawsuits, the party will be more active in this regard.

Davide knew about these situations in advance, so although he was inclined to be listed in the United States, he only considered the interests after the listing in the United States. I also feel that it is not suitable for the boss, because the boss is Chinese, and once Huanyu Group is listed in the United States, it is easy to touch the anti-monopoly law, so that it will be subject to all kinds of restrictions, and it will have to pay high litigation costs.

"So what do you think should be done?"

"Priority can be given to the listing of Huanyu Newspaper. ”

"Although the listing of the entire Universal Group can create a high market value, it is not easy to operate, but it is much easier to spin off the Universal Press and list it first," Davide said. ”

Speaking of this, he added: "Of course, the specific needs to ask a professional, I don't know much about the details of listing in the United States." ”

Huo Yaowen closed his eyes and thought for a long time, then he looked at Davide and said, "Then I will leave this matter to you and come up with a suitable plan as soon as possible." ”

"Yes. ”
