It was the best of times and the worst of times. Are you planning to start a business, raise funds, and go public, multimillionaires are emerging one after another, and opportunities are once in a lifetime! Do you continue to spend a lot of your youth on the bleak Wall Street, or do you return to China and gamble with your youth on tomorrow?

The 1.100x P/E ratio overshadows Wall Street

That afternoon, Qin Fangyuan was at Morgan Stanley (Mo

ga

Sta

Ley) was busy with the work at hand in the headquarters building, and suddenly received a call from Shi Wenqing. He said anxiously that he was on Broadway in Manhattan now, and asked Qin Fangyuan to come over quickly. Qin Fangyuan was puzzled for a while: Why did this guy come just as he said and didn't say hello in advance?

Qin Fangyuan has been in the United States for five years, and after graduating from Princeton University, a prestigious Ivy League school, with a major in finance, he directly joined Morgan Stanley's headquarters. Walking on Wall Street, which is less than a mile long and lined with high-rise buildings on both sides, looking up at a line of sky, this young man of more than 1.8 meters sometimes feels very small, the reinforced concrete buildings compress the space into cramped and cramped, and human beings are like ants being trampled under their feet; sometimes they also feel very powerful, and the people who shuttle through this street have mastered how much wealth in the world! Sooner or later, he will become one of them, and when he thinks of this, his dreams fill his chest. Especially when he got the offer letter from Morgan Stanley and shuttled the street for the first time as a full-fledged Wall Street employee, he was majestic and high-spirited, like a Wall Street investment banker's dream within reach.

Dreams have a shelf life. After a while, he summed up this sentence, and he felt that it was very incisive.

After receiving Shi Wenqing's call, Qin Fangyuan hurriedly packed up the supplies on the desk and clocked out of work. In the process of getting off the elevator, Shi Wenqing's phone chased him again and asked him where he was.

"What's the hurry, I'm in the elevator. Qin Fangyuan was not used to answering the phone in a crowded elevator. The ringtones of Apple mobile phones seem to be the same, and people are too lazy to toss them, so they directly adopt the ringtone marimba set at the factory. Therefore, in the lingering ringing of mobile phones, other people in the same ladder also habitually looked down to see if there were any incoming calls on their mobile phones. Moreover, in the cramped elevator space, white-collar workers consciously try not to answer the phone or remain silent, unlike the Chinese people who are used to answering the phone on any occasion in China, shouting as if no one is around. In this dilemma, Shi Wenqing made three calls in a row, Qin Fangyuan pressed it twice, just pressed the phone and rang again, until the third time, he pressed the call button, lowered his voice and said, "It's coming soon." Why did you come here, boy? I've never seen you so active before. You always like to make a surprise attack. ”

Putting down the phone, thinking of Shi Wenqing's nickname "Ximen Qing", Qin Fangyuan smiled dumbly, and some of the unhappiness just now disappeared in a blink of an eye. This nickname was voted by the classmates when he was an undergraduate in China, not only homophonic, but also a true portrayal of Shi Wenqing's flowers.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Fangyuan came out of Morgan Stanley's mansion, turned a brisk corner, and saw Shi Wenqing's huge head from a distance, shaved and particularly eye-catching in the sun. He wore a black trench coat and sunglasses, and he looked around and dangled there.

Shi Wenqing couldn't wait to rush up and gave Qin Fangyuan a sturdy bear hug: "Dude, I haven't seen you for three years, you look like a dog on Wall Street." Look, this walking posture, suit and leather shoes, people think you are the second generation of overseas Chinese, but in fact, you are not a poor boy from the ravines and ravines of China. ”

Qin Fangyuan's emotions were suddenly infected by this ridicule, and he didn't care about his demeanor, so he punched Shi Wenqing in the chest: "Why are you dressed like an Asian underworld today?"

"Like? I'm just a little darker, but my complexion isn't dark. ”

"It's good that your heart isn't dark. Didn't you go to New York to do that? Didn't you introduce someone to you, and you're in contact with you?"

Shi Wenqing glanced around exaggeratedly, white, black, yellow, brown, shuttled by, all in a hurry, men and women, tall, short, fat, thin, all of them did not squint, he thought: It's a financial crisis, everyone is still so busy. They didn't have time to pay attention to what the young lads were muttering or plotting about. Shi Wenqing retracted his momentary distraction, he stared at Qin Fangyuan, and said solemnly: "That's almost done, this time I came over to thank you." The main thing is that there are more important things looking for you, which are closely related to you. Then, he blinked, and the pretense of seriousness he had just made was gone.

Qin Fangyuan was happy when he heard it. "What does it have to do with me? don't have an accident and just bring me in, I'm afraid my heart won't be able to carry it." Qin Fangyuan carried the briefcase in his right hand, stroked his left chest with his left hand, and said jokingly.

"Haven't you practiced Yuejiaquan since you were a child, and your body is strong? Let's go, let's eat, drink and chat. ”

Qin Fangyuan teased him: "Go to the old place 'Chengdu Impression', right?"

"Go to Wuliangye Sichuan Restaurant. Shi Wenqing came as soon as he opened his mouth, there was no doubt.

Chengdu is the Sichuan restaurant they visited the most when they were studying in the United States, close to the Chinese Consulate General in New York. There are few Chinese restaurants in New York City, and although Chinatown has a few well-decorated Sichuan restaurants, the food is not authentic. At that time, the most common dishes that followed Chinese local officials or business delegations were at the "Chengdu Impression" and the Wuliangye Sichuan Restaurant near the Rockefeller Center in Manhattan. The conditions of the "Chengdu Impression" are not flattering, the space is cramped, the facilities are rudimentary, and officials from Chinese mainland come to eat here, always complaining about how Chinese restaurants in capitalist countries are so subclassy. In fact, this is already one of the most authentic Chinese restaurants in New York, although the price is high, a plate of Mao Xuewang costs 30 dollars, and it is full every day.

"I know your thoughts, but let me tell you, that Hunan girl is long gone. It's been more than three years, and people have long been married to businesswomen, so how can they be stupid and wait for you all the time? Qin Fang teased him while opening the road.

"I've been in a hundred flowers, and the leaves don't touch my body, so don't worry about it. "Shi Wenqing's self-satisfied energy, I haven't seen him for three years, and it has not diminished at all, as the so-called country is easy to change.

They sat down in the center of the Wuliangye Sichuan Restaurant, and Shi Wenqing slowly took off his windbreaker and handed it to Qin Fangyuan, who had a simple coat hook behind his back. Qin Fangyuan glanced at it, Bu

be

y (Burberry). Shi Wenqing self-deprecatingly explained that while Burberry has become an iconic ruffian in the UK, it is a huge fashion brand in China.

He emphasized: "I'm not a gnawing clan. When I was studying in the United States, I really didn't want to wash the dishes, and it did cost the old man a lot of money, but now I am self-reliant. ”

"It seems that it really responds to the sentence 'Shibei should be impressed for three days'. Qin Fangyuan answered the question and said, "You have taken a big risk to earn that money." ”

Shi Wenqing disdainfully: "You say this kind of money? It is indeed risky, but I am reluctant to let the child trap the wolf, and the high risk and high return are twin brothers." However, I'm also an amateur and part-time worker. ”

"Your outfit reminds me of the online novel "Returning to China to Tame the Fire" that you recommended me to read when we were studying in the United States, which is the masterpiece of the Chinese-American Principal Amp Pu Roan. That protagonist Bao Bo, you really spare no effort to imitate him!"

"That's the Bible I learned to wear when I returned to China. However, it is only fiction, and real life is much more exciting than that. ”

When he began to order, Qin Fangyuan said, "I have to do my landlord's friendship today! "When it comes to eating, Qin Fangyuan has always been reluctant to go, and he didn't miss Shi Wenqing's dinner when he went to school.

Shi Wenqing is not polite, and he will order it after dividing five by two. Qin Fangyuan saw that it was still Shi Wenqing's favorite three dishes - mapo tofu, Mao Xuewang and boiled fish. He has not changed this habit of heavy taste in the slightest.

Shi Wenqing ordered a good dish, took a sip of Pu'er tea, and looked around.

Qin Fangyuan knew what he was doing at a glance, and said, "Don't look for it, that Hunan girl is really married." You haven't been in touch with anyone for three years, do you really think there is a love that transcends time and space? Besides, with your virtue, you don't have a moment to spare, why should people wait for you?"

"No, we were in touch a year ago, and they didn't tell me they were going to get married. What you said is true or false?" Shi Wenqing was skeptical.

"Why are you lying to you? The man married to Dubai, and the man is a big oil family, and it is said that he is still Bu

j Khalifa Towe

One of the shareholders of Burj Khalifa. This marriage is also rumored to be a good story of 'rich and beautiful women' in the Chinese circle. ”

"×, what kind of 'rich and beautiful woman'? Marrying in that place, can a man marry several wives, can he have a good life with her?" Shi Wenqing seemed to be distressed.

"Don't talk about her, it's people's right to marry. You are not idle at home. By the way, what's wrong with that Tianjin girl? You made people's bellies big and gave them up!"

As soon as he heard the Tianjin girl, Shi Wenqing's face was a little unbearable. That girl was a flight attendant of Air China, and Shi Wenqing soaked it when he was in first class. When he first soaked it, Shi Wenqing also boasted to Qin Fangyuan that the little girl was from 1987, she was a little virgin, and she was very proud. Later, he made the little girl's belly bigger, one wanted to marry, the other didn't marry, and the two of them tossed a lot, which was what Shi Wenqing complained to Qin Fangyuan the most in the transatlantic phone and MSN.

"We are in love, have you ever waited in front of someone's window all night?"

Qin Fangyuan clasped his hands into fists and made a gesture of admiration: "Haha, I've heard a lot of this." I also know that someone was on a business trip in Hangzhou, and the girl in Beijing said that she wanted to eat strawberries, and someone immediately rushed to Wenzhou to pick them herself, and rushed back to Beijing overnight to deliver them to the girl, and the girl was so moved that she promised that night. But this is a girl from a film school, not this flight attendant. ”

Shi Wenqing was a little angry: "Dude, I'm not here to beg for anger. Besides, I'm just nagging you about those things, how can you take it out to tease me?"

Qin Fangyuan immediately stopped and smiled.

Shi Wenqing is not good at stubble, and turned his head and teased Qin Fangyuan: "Qiao Mei is about to graduate with a master's degree, right? Then the two of you can sing every night, and you don't have to live the life of a cowherd and a weaver girl anymore." ”

"She's already doing her PhD. Qin Fangyuan hurriedly changed the topic, "Don't talk about her yet, how have you been doing in the past three years since you returned to China?" I don't usually think you're wrong on the phone, but today you are simply reborn. ”

Among the undergraduate classmates, Shi Wenqing and Qin Fangyuan applied to come to the United States for graduate school in the same year, and they were very close to each other, Qin Fangyuan went to Princeton University to study finance, and Shi Wenqing went to Columbia University to study MBA. Unlike Qin Fangyuan, Shi Wenqing chose to return to China for development without hesitation after graduation.

After taking a sip of wine, Qin Fangyuan asked again: "What else are you doing this time besides doing that?" Are you going to come to Wall Street to grab the flower girl?"

After the collapse of Lehman Brothers in the United States, China, Russia, Brazil, and India, known as the BRICS countries, flocked to Wall Street in the United States, grabbing money and poaching people. The international financial crisis, hot money is looking for safety everywhere, and the price of talent is also cheap.

Shi Wenqing was happy when he heard it: "You are really right about this, I am here to rob people." ”

After returning to China, Shi Wenqing did not return to Hengyang, Hunan Province to take over the family business, but chose an investment banking company in Beijing, mainly as a project intermediary. The owner of this company is Li Hong.

The name Li Hong made Qin Fangyuan awe-inspired. Some business magazines in the United States often appear about him, for example, before returning to China to start a business, he has created a leading LAN service company in Silicon Valley, and successfully listed on the NASDAQ. He is also the founding president of the China Resources Science and Technology Association, an association of high-tech entrepreneurs made up of entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley and China's best business leaders.

Huaxia Zhongding Investment Group, founded by Li Hong, is mainly engaged in providing investment and financing advisory, helping companies preparing to be listed on the NASDAQ to successfully operate pre-VC (Ve

tu

e Capital, venture capital) and PE (P

ivate Equity, private equity) financing, and also operates a number of Chinese companies listed on the NASDAQ, which is well-known in the Chinese community on Wall Street. This time, they ran to the United States, turned to San Francisco and Los Angeles, went to Silicon Valley and Wall Street, and looked for some LP (Limited Pa

t

e

, limited partner) investor, intending to set up a fund for investment.

Qin Fangyuan picked up Shi Wenqing's business card: investment director of Huaxia Zhongding Investment Group Company. This position translates into English as Associate, and Qin Fangyuan is still an A

Alyst (Analyst).

Shi Wenqing said with some pride: "I can become VP (Vice P) next year

eside

t, vice president). ”

Qin Fangyuan looked at Shi Wenqing's appearance, and said half-mockingly: "Associate is an ordinary attaché on Wall Street, a follower, translated into Chinese, that is, an investment manager, who is the investment director? ”

Shi Wenqing was a little embarrassed, snatched the business card, and muttered a little childishly: "You wait, in less than three years, I will be MD (Ma)."

agi

Qin Fangyuan was happy when he heard it: "Do you know what MD, PE and ED are?" The medical student laughed and said, don't tell me that you are working as MD or ED in a PE company or something, let's take a look, PE is P."

Shi Wenqing laughed so hard that he wanted to spray rice before he could finish listening, and pointed at Qin Fangyuan with his finger: "You kid is such a dignified person, how can you become funny?"

Qin Fangyuan waited for Shi Wenqing to finish laughing, and turned to the topic: "Isn't your company's business an investment and financing consultant?

"Investment banking brokerage business is our strength, but now is also a good time to do funds. Over the years, the company has accumulated some corporate resources and set up its own fund to facilitate follow-up investment. Shi Wenqing took a sip of liquor, and spit it out as soon as he took it, "What kind of taste, is this still wine?" He shouted to call the waiter to question, Qin Fangyuan grabbed him, and said that this is improved wine, how can Americans drink high spirits, you can make do with it.

Shi Wenqing wiped his lips and stretched his neck towards Qin Fangyuan: "Lehman Brothers such a behemoth has fallen, a large amount of capital has poured into China to avoid risks, and China has launched a gem, do you know what the average price-earnings ratio is? 100 times!

When it came to business, Shi Wenqing's mind turned quickly, this is what the two brothers have in common, Qin Fangyuan once unashamedly positioned their conversation as a conversation of a wise man. Shi Wenqing talked about China's capital market endlessly, like a ** lake that has been immersed in China's capital market for many years, although he has only returned to China for two or three years. During this period of time, Qin Fangyuan developed step-by-step on Wall Street, worked as an analyst and a modeler, and was smooth and decent.

Qin Fangyuan, who was born as an analyst, was extremely sensitive to financial figures, he grabbed a few numbers that Shi Wenqing spit out from his mouth, and his brain quickly started the calculation function, running at a geometric speed.

As he spoke, Shi Wenqing suddenly stretched his neck, met Qin Fangyuan's questioning eyes, and said word by word: "Dude, our opportunity has come!"

This opportunity is related to investing in getting rich, and Qin Fangyuan is certainly very clear. When I was still a student at Princeton University, Focus Media went public in the United States, and countless millionaires or even billionaires were born overnight, and a string of VCs and PEs received high multiples of returns from them. Chinese concept stocks have sprung up, injecting these Chinese students with a dose of stimulants.

"There are 3,000 domestic VC and PE companies with a scale of more than 100 million yuan, and there may be tens of thousands of other small shrimps. The domestic GEM was launched, and a daughter was robbed by many families, and looking at the valuation of the GEM, they all made a lot of money. Shi Wenqing said, "You Wall Street have set a rule, but this rule has been abandoned in China, and they are all crazy." For example, in the retail industry, the price-to-earnings ratio (P

ice to Ea

i

g Ratio (P/E) or Price-to-Sales Ratio (P

ice to Sales Ratio, P/S), but do you know how to value in China now?

oss Me

cha

dise Value) multiplied by a multiple. The way to play is to finance money based on the concept, burn money to buy advertising, rush the turnover, use a higher turnover to raise more money, and then smash the advertisement after the money is raised. You'll be stunned to watch. ”

Qin Fangyuan was deeply skeptical: "This is false prosperity! Could it be that investors are crazy? If they don't play cards according to the rules, they will spit out sooner or later." ”

Of course, Qin Fangyuan also felt the temperature of the Chinese topic on Wall Street. Almost overnight, Wall Street analysts, fund managers, and macroeconomists specializing in China studies who had been neglected in the cold became sought-after.

Once, a Princeton University senior visited, Australians, working at the United Nations, and they were chatting over coffee. This diplomat has a vivid metaphor for China's influence: in international affairs, when talking about major affairs, they have to look at the faces of two countries, one is the United States and the other is China. To vote on a matter, first look at the face of the United States, the United States agrees, and then look at China's face, and if China also agrees, they will drink coffee. Why? The two bigwigs agreed, what else to talk about? If the two countries disagreed, they also drank coffee. Why? The two bigwigs disagreed, and they talked in vain.

Shi Wenqing interrupted Qin Fangyuan's thought diffusion, and suddenly asked, "Do you remember Qian Feng in our class?"

"Of course I know, it's not familiar, we're still in the same dormitory. Qin Fangyuan blurted out, and then he was wary of Shi Wenqing provoking this topic, "Why did you mention him?"

"Hehe, what are you nervous about, after so many years, you still have a pimple? I know that you almost got into a fit of anger when you were angry, everyone knows it! Do you know? Your woman Hu Xiaolei has never married anyone, she is married to a Hainan businessman who works as a media in Beijing. Don't complain about beautiful women marrying businesswomen, the environment dictates it. After you went abroad, Qian Feng thought that she had a play, so she chased after Hu Xiaolei, but she quickly married herself off, turned herself into an insulator, and didn't give Qian Feng a chance at all. Qian Feng had no choice but to find a graduate from Beijing No. 2 Foreign University, and the other party went abroad to study alone less than a year after getting married, and he became a lonely ghost in China, how depressed!"

"What do you call our women? Besides, how many years have passed, how can you talk about them?" Qin Fangyuan knew that mentioning Qian Feng would involve Hu Xiaolei, so he quickly protested and stopped. He picked up a glass of wine and touched Shi Wenqing's wine glass: "Drink and drink, you can't stop your mouth when you drink!"

Those youthful pasts were a scar in Qin Fangyuan's heart, and it was the most fragile piece in the softest place.

Shi Wenqing didn't answer Qin Fangyuan's words: "Don't worry, I know what you have in your heart, wait for me to talk slowly." Qian Feng played billiards well, you know, it's not blowing, if he also took the professional route of billiards back then, maybe there would be no later Ding Junhui. You should admit this, right? Once we went to the billiards hall at the east gate of the school to participate in the competition, and he also won a mountain bike for the two of us, and we rode this car to the Chinese Normal School to pick up girls. ”

"That's you, I'm just a foil. ”

"Haha, I still don't understand, you're more than 1.8 meters tall, I'm less than 1.7 meters, how can I go out to pick up girls and always pull you? Isn't this self-defeating? However, I don't miss a single one!" Talking about this topic, Shi Wenqing was smug, "Let's not talk about that." Do you know what Qian Feng is doing now? This kid went to a venture capital fund in Shenzhen after graduation, which is really evil, why is this kid so lucky after he goes? I don't know what relationship he used to help his boss invest in a mobile software company, listed on the GEM, and he personally took a commission of 1.5% of the income, and took more than 3 million at once.

"There's an even more amazing project. A post-80s generation who does database marketing does not know how to get the customer information of high-end products such as BMW, Audi and LV (Louis Vuitton), classifies these materials, builds a professional IT marketing platform, engages in secondary precision marketing, and rises rapidly. When I first started, six VCs watched it, and they all said they were interested, but they didn't vote for a long time. As a result, by chance, Qian Feng played a game of billiards with the boss of this company, meeting friends with the ball, and the two hit it off at first sight. Qian Feng persuaded his boss to make a quick decision to invest, and only 3 million yuan accounted for 15 percent of the shares, and that investment was simply an angel! In less than a year, the company was valued at 1 billion yuan, and those investors who did not invest regretted their deaths, and finally entered at a premium 20 times higher than the original. Qian Feng, this kid, is very proud now. ”

"This theme is very explosive. There are similar companies in the United States, which have just been listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and angel investors have received more than eighty times the return. Qin Fangyuan couldn't help but make an analogy between the two projects.

"This project led by Qian Feng will definitely create a premium myth of more than 100 times!"

Hearing this, Qin Fangyuan poured a sip of wine and coughed spicily.

People who study finance have a common virtue, and mentioning a high rate of return is like a man taking viagra and his whole body is excited. Some people say that people who study finance or MBA have one tendon, and that tendon is the return on investment. Qin Fangyuan was instinctively excited when he heard the return rate of more than 100 times, but after knowing that one of the leaders of this transaction, he couldn't get excited.

The other day, colleagues from their company also got together to discuss a similar IPO (I

itial Public Offe

i

GS, initial public offering) case, often hundreds of times the rate of return, so that foreigners are amazed. This is extremely rare in the West, but it is not uncommon in China.

"Now, to paraphrase Dickens, 'This is the best of times, this is the worst of times.'" It's an individual who plans to start a business, and everyone is thinking about financing and IPO, in order to get rich overnight, and multimillionaires are emerging one after another. Shi Wenqing didn't notice Qin Fangyuan's instantaneous mood change, he enthusiastically took advantage of the situation to send out an invitation, "Are you willing to continue to spend your youth on the bleak Wall Street, or do you want to take advantage of the trend, return to China to do a big job, and gamble tomorrow with our youth?"

Shi Wenqing's sentence was learned from Jobs. That year, Jobs invited Joh, the CEO of PepsiCo

Sculley: "Are you selling sugar water for the rest of your life, or are you changing the world together?"

Qin Fangyuan's heart pounded.

Without any mental preparation for this abrupt invitation from his old classmates, Qin Fangyuan looked at Shi Wenqing who was dancing with his eyebrows in a daze, and fell into deep thought.

In Shi Wenqing's gushing analysis, Qin Fangyuan obviously felt his blood surge, his heart beat faster, and he became excited: "Go back?"

"I personally believe that there are two waves of craze in China now: one is the current market segment of LCD media. As long as there is a slight scale, there are more than ten VCs queuing up to see the boss, and some bosses don't see it at all, or they come up at a fixed price, hundreds of millions, and they will vote if they are recognized, and they will be pulled down if they are not recognized. Aren't you just hanging a few screens? After Focus Media was listed on the NASDAQ, as long as there were public places with people, all of them were 'Focus': airports, stations, squares, shopping malls, restaurants, hotels, rooftops, walls, along highways, planes, trains, subways, buses, taxis, toilets, etc., such as Hangmei Media for airports has been listed, Huashi Media for subways has been listed, and Yanhuang Health Media for hospitals is also preparing to be listed. In more than two years, there have been dozens of outdoor new media investments, involving nearly $1 billion, and these latecomers are all staking their own fields.

"The second is the imminent rise of group buying. The three sets of carriages of China's economic development - investment, trade and consumption, investment and trade development is weak, the country will definitely promote the development of the consumption sector, the most promising is consumption. Consumption model innovation, such as group buying discounts, has emerged in the United States, and we all judge that China will soon blow this whirlwind, and several companies with similar models have received VC investment. Here's our chance!"

Shi Wenqing said passionately, Qin Fangyuan was also deeply infected, and his brain was running rapidly. In between listening to Shi Wenqing's description, Qin Fangyuan asked the waiter for a box of yogurt, and drinking yogurt was his habitual action when thinking about problems.

Shi Wenqing took the opportunity to hold Qin Fangyuan's hand and said confidently: "I have already found a home for you." Don't mess around on Wall Street, let's go back, buddies do something together, there won't be this store in this village after that. ”

Of course, Qin Fangyuan understood the weight of this sentence. Such opportunities are only available to the "BRICS" countries, and in these countries, the opportunity benefits are like a magnificent curve, all the way up. In Europe and the United States, after the international financial crisis, this line extends in parallel and even declines. Just like the two-point one-line (office to home) work and life day after day, after the dream of freshness, he seems to see his future days, dull like a pool of stagnant water, undisturbed.

Shi Wenqing's next home for Qin Fangyuan is Mingming Media.

"The transfer fee is 1 million yuan, which is to give you a settling-in fee in China, an annual salary of 1.2 million, and the most important thing is options, the management's option pool (Optio

Pool) has 10%, and you can get a piece of the pie. How about it?" Shi Wenqing directly offered the conditions, of course he probably knew what Qin Fangyuan's current annual salary was in this position on Wall Street, "I have already finalized it with the other party's boss before I came." If you go back to China, you may regret it for a while, but if you don't go back to China, you will regret it for the rest of your life. ”

Qin Fangyuan listened to this condition and was a little moved. However, after a little thought, he put forward a more demanding condition: he hoped that he could get an option with a total of 10% of the total shares.

Shi Wenqing was full of joy and waited for Qin Fangyuan to smile and readily agree, and was stunned for a moment by Qin Fangyuan's condition: "Wall Street is really a big dye vat, all of them are money animals, you kid has only been mixed up for a few years, just learn from them to open their mouths?!"

Qin Fangyuan smiled: High risk and high return, who knows what it will be like after returning to China?

Shi Wenqing thought for a moment and emphasized: "I still have to go back and verify this number with the other party's boss." ”

However, as soon as Qin Fangyuan heard that the boss of the company that returned to China to join was a woman, he immediately retreated. Confucius said: Only villains and women are difficult to raise.

"This Mr. Zhang is completely different, she is a man among women, and she is also the best woman. Shi Wenqing said, "Doing things boldly, acting generously, and having a high emotional intelligence, she is definitely not the ordinary woman you imagined." He whispered to Qin Fangyuan: "This person has a background in Zhongnanhai, otherwise how could he be so big now?"

2. When you return to China, you still have youth to gamble on

Ten a.m., New York JFK International Airport.

Squeezed into the boarding pass line, Qin Fangyuan was sweating profusely. He pushed the luggage cart in one hand and his girlfriend in the other, rushing left and right, and wanted to scold in his heart. New York has been raining heavily for a week, once in a century, many flights have been canceled or delayed, and the departure hall has become a concentration camp, filled with black, white, yellow, brown people, and chattering in all languages.

Qiao Mei followed Qin Fangyuan closely without saying a word. Luck was not bad, Qin Fangyuan's flight back to China was on time, and after checking in, he let out a long breath, this careless young man didn't notice the emotional changes of his girlfriend behind him at all.

was about to enter the security check, Qin Fangyuan put down his luggage and hugged and kissed goodbye to his girlfriend Qiao Mei who saw him off. Suddenly, he let out a scream of "oops", alarming the heavily armed security officers at the airport, who were patrolling around like hounds not far away. The black cop ran over like a wind: "What?

Qin Fangyuan covered his lips with a handkerchief, and blood flowed down from the corners of his mouth, like a slender earthworm. He bent down in pain, wiped the blood with a piece of paper, then slowly stood up and waved his hand to the black policeman running over: "All."

ight, tha

k you!(It's okay, thank you.) ）”

He looked up and saw Qiao Mei's eyes shoot a cold cold light, glaring at him fiercely.

"When you step over, it's another world. Over there, it's your world, and over there, it's our world. Qiao Mei, like a she-wolf guarding her home and cave, licked her lips, and it still smelled of Qin Fangyuan's blood. "If you're gone, you're gone forever. ”

In the end, there was a hint of grief in her cold tone.

The colder Qiao Mei was, the more Qin Fangyuan's heart was like a pinprick stick, he closed his eyes slightly, and shook his head helplessly. A scene suddenly appeared in his mind: an old man with a bearded face sang "Dusk" on the stage with emotion and sadness: "I still remember to say goodbye from your mouth as resolutely as iron/There is an illusion of scorching sun in the dimness/The horizon of dusk/Draw a parting/Love enters the eternal night......"

It's like a world away. Five years ago, also at the airport, another girl saw him off, the same sadness, the same resentment. Although, that time it was the girl who secretly came to see him off, but the moment he turned around, he saw the eyes not far away that had not had time to dodge, and the eyes were full of tears. He didn't look back, didn't stop, and drifted away after the security check.

Thinking of this, Qin Fangyuan, who was tempered by the noisy and depressed Wall Street, did not easily move his feelings, and his nose was sour, and he had the urge to cry.

Shi Wenqing's invitation made Qin Fangyuan's heart churn for several days. To stay, or to go back? That's the question.

"It's a great opportunity. "Senior brother You Sulin is older than Qin Fangyuan, and he is an executive in the FT investment bank on Wall Street, and the most significant feature of this position is the house.

One weekend after sending Shi Wenqing away, Qin Fangyuan made an appointment by phone, and You Sulin rarely happened to be resting at home, so they made an appointment to meet at home.

Tour Sulin's home is an upscale apartment in Manhattan. The so-called high-end apartment is the kind of split-level design with three staircases and two households, with viewing glass windows on all sides. Youjia is on the 66th floor, taking the meaning of six or six great shun. In the living room, when the bedroom door is opened, sit on the rotating mahogany chair and take a turn, and the scenery of Manhattan can be seen: to the south, the Statue of Liberty is holding the torch high, far away, like a magic lamp pointing to the sky, to the east, the Williamsberg Bridge, Brooklyn Bridge, and Queen's Bridge are stacked and undulating, to the north is Columbia University, Shi Wenqing's alma mater when he was studying for an MBA, and to the west is New Jersey on the other side of the Hudson River.

Seeing this, Qin Fangyuan felt very aggrieved. Like many international students on Wall Street, they work on Wall Street during the day and live in New Jersey at night, crossing the Hudson River by boat in the morning and evening. Compared to Wall Street, where land is at a premium, rents in New Jersey are much cheaper.

You Sulin is old and spicy, and Qin Fangyuan understood the expression on his face as soon as he entered the door. In fact, after Qin Fangyuan briefly told him about the situation on the phone, he knew that this young man already had a fixed opinion in his heart, and he just needed someone to affirm him. This young man, under his weak appearance, hides a stubborn side.

Since meeting at a New York hometown meeting, Qin Fangyuan, who has just debuted, often asks You Sulin to exercise in Central Park, and also teaches You Sulin a few sets of Yuejia boxing, which is Qin Fangyuan's family tradition, "three door piles", "four door frames", "five methods", "six combinations" and other routines are simple and natural, compact and tight, and the rhythm is distinct, "floating like a cloud out of Xiu, sinking like a stone into the river". You Sulin sighed: Guangji Yuejiaquan, the national intangible cultural heritage, can be regarded as seeing a living thing! Qin Fangyuan was a little shy: Well, everything is fate. Indeed, the two are authentic fellow countrymen, and both of them went to Wuhan with undergraduates, one is Wuhan University, the other is Huazhong University of Science and Technology, which can be called the Wuhan Gemini constellation.

"The only thing I'm not sure about is how many years will China's economic development miracle last?" Men like to get straight to the point, talking about hard topics, without pleasantries.

You Sulin thought for a while and did not answer this question directly: "Your classmate Shi Wenqing told you the truth, and it is not an exaggeration to describe China's opportunity at this time as a 'once-in-a-lifetime opportunity'. I often read reports on China, and I personally believe that there are three aspects worth paying attention to: first, the central government of China has implemented a mercantilist policy, and all localities are also attracting high-profile investment, and the support in terms of taxation, land, and capital is very strong;

Third, China's nearly 1.4 billion people have matured the world's factories into the world's largest consumer market, and this huge market will give birth to the world's largest enterprises. ”

Qin Fangyuan showed instinctive excitement after hearing these words, since he came to work on Wall Street, he had been trained not to smile, he became relaxed, and smiled a little heartlessly, laughing unrestrainedly.

You Sulin said: "You have already thought it out in your heart, right, you must have come here if you are looking for me?"

Qin Fangyuan's face was slightly red: "I can't escape your eyes no matter what I think, Jiang is still old and spicy." In fact, I am already planning to resign, this time I came to ask my brother for benefits, and secondly, to say goodbye to my brother by the way. ”

"Very well, remember what I told you earlier?"

"Of course, remember: a man can do whatever he likes before the age of 40, and the more he goes through it, the more valuable it becomes. Don't be afraid of wolves and tigers. ”

This sentence is the truth of how many people regret and regret the achievement. You also asked me why I didn't reply. I missed the opportunity, and the value for money is not as good as you. My wife, children, house, and seat are all in the United States, and if I want to leave, it will be difficult to move my whole body! Am I willing to accept this state? Haha. I k

ow you do

't like it, but have to live with it. ）”

Qin Fangyuan had heard before that one of You Sulin's subordinates looked like a dog after returning to China, and it was said that his status in the domestic financial circle was not ordinary. Wall Street's assessment system is very strict, just like Haier's Zhang Ruimin's end-of-the-mill elimination system, Wall Street is evaluated once a year, with five grades and five stars. Excellent is five stars, good is four stars, three stars are barely passing, and two stars are eliminated directly. It just so happened that in the year of the outbreak of the international financial crisis, that person got three stars, and the FT investment bank made a large layoff, so he went home in disgrace. On the day he left, You Sulin pulled Qin Fangyuan to see him off. At Kennedy International Airport, the man was discouraged and languishing, and You Surin repeatedly reassured him that he would be able to do a lot when he returned home. Qin Fangyuan looked at that compatriot with a lot of emotion at that time, thinking if he would also have this day and passively resign?

"Hedong and Hexi!" You Sulin said casually and comfortingly. Not long ago, this former subordinate came over with a large order of billions of yuan to talk to the owner of FT Investment Bank to discuss cooperation, which gave You Sulin a long face.

Coming out of You Sulin's house, Qin Fangyuan decided how to tell his girlfriend Qiao Mei next.

Jomay is still at the University of Massachusetts and is in her first year of Ph.D. Qin Fangyuan is Qiao Mei's first boyfriend. Qiao Mei has always had a pure and almost pedantic dream: to find a person who loves each other wholeheartedly, to make a promise to each other, to the end, "hold the hand of the son, and grow old with the son". Therefore, before coming to the United States for graduate school, perhaps because she had seen the tragedy of too many friends breaking up when they went abroad, Qiao Mei insisted on going alone and left her first real love to Qin Fangyuan.

Qiao Mei never thought that they would also be separated one day, she has been carefully taking care of her boyfriend, and has been doing the Ame that the two will share in the future

EAM (American Dream). They once dreamed that they could get a better life in the United States as long as they worked tirelessly. Therefore, on the day Obama was elected president, they raised a glass in their rented apartment to celebrate, and it was also that time that Qin Fangyuan discovered this Beijing girl for the first time, and killed him, a big southern man, in seconds.

Qin Fangyuan graduated with a master's degree one year before her, and unlike some other senior brothers and sisters who chose to return to China after graduation, Qin Fangyuan successfully stayed on Wall Street and gave Qiao Mei a reassurance.

Qin Fangyuan had been nervous in his heart, and he didn't know how to tell Qiao Mei. He knows this Beijing girl too well, smart and stubborn, and he sees a goal and goes headlong into the dark.

In the third year of high school, the school wanted to escort her to Chinese National University, but this Beijing municipal "three good students" and "top ten middle school students" insisted on taking the college entrance examination, saying that they wanted to taste the taste of thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge, and there would be regrets in life if they did not take the exam; they filled in the college entrance examination volunteers, and there was only one volunteer on the full page - Tsinghua University, and later got their wish; she came to the United States to study for graduate school, and only applied to one university - Massachusetts Institute of Technology, but she did not get her wish, until the last minute of the application deadline, she panicked and hurriedly applied to the University of Massachusetts. Since then, the self-confidence of this super-confident, home-grown Beijing girl has begun to decline a little bit.

Qin Fangyuan still remembered the first time he fell in love with her. When they had completed all the preludes as far as they could, and Qin Fangyuan was about to sprint to the last high ground, Qiao Mei suddenly resisted his long drive unusually calmly, suppressed his excitement, and asked calmly, "Will you love me for the rest of your life?"

Qin Fangyuan replied without hesitation: "Yes!"

"You're not going to eat a banana and spit out the skin, are you?"
