As night falls and the lights come on, the "Yilu" restaurant on the 56th floor of Jinmao Building, No. 99 Century Avenue in Lujiazui, is full of clothes.

"Yi Lu" is an Italian restaurant known for serving the purest Italian cuisine of Han Hai and an excellent dining venue with a view.

Inspired by the architecture of the Tuscan region of Italy, the restaurant is designed with marble floors and mosaic countertops, a brick oven and an open kitchen, breaking down the barriers between chefs and customers, who can watch the dishes being cooked while enjoying their meals, and can talk to the chef and enhance cultural exchange.

Of course, such a location and location determine that the "Yilu" restaurant is very popular, if you want to eat, you must make a reservation at least 1 to 2 days in advance, otherwise the restaurant will not be able to receive it.

Since Ren Pingsheng chose here, he must have booked a seat in advance, and now he is sitting in an excellent window seat.

Outside the window is the high-rise buildings of Lujiazui with bright lights in the night, and the cold and glamorous beauty sitting in front of it is naturally Jiang Qiurong.

Although it was winter, the interior of the Jin Mao Tower was fully heated, and the temperature inside the restaurant was much warmer than outside, Jiang Qiurong was still wearing her signature trench coat.

Today she was wearing a bright red leather trench coat with a V-neckline revealing fair and smooth skin, and a thin white gold necklace lay in the middle of the elegant collarbone, and a diamond-encrusted four-leaf clover pendant glittered in the middle of the necklace.

Beneath the hem of the red leather trench coat, two long legs wrapped in light black silk tights are crossed, and a pair of jade feet are placed inside a 5-centimeter-tall red stiletto heeled pointed-toe shoe.

Due to her sitting position, most of her long black silk legs were exposed, making the eyes of the men around her sneak around there from time to time.

Jiang Qiurong put down the bun she liked to wear in the past today, and the dark red hair was permed into big wavy curls, hanging lazily under her slender neck, adding a bit of charm to the cold and pretty face with only light makeup.

Just as she is rarely feminine today, Jiang Qiurong looks in a good mood today, her expression is much more vivid, and her eyes are also a little popular.

Unlike in the past, it is beautiful, but it is as cold as a marble, which makes people panic.

There are many reasons for her good mood, part of which is that the restaurant "Yilu" is very suitable for her taste, and the other part is that today's food is also good.

The appetizer is honeydew melon with Parma ham, and the main course is foie gras, cod and oysters.

Although Jiang Qiurong has always been good at controlling her calorie intake, she can't resist the delicious taste of a pure Italian chef, and tonight's Italian food is very much in line with her taste and her heart.

Of course, part of it is because of the man in front of him.

From the reservation of seats, to the selection of restaurants, to the introduction of dishes, Ren Pingsheng fully embodies the quality and demeanor that a mature man should have, and his conversation and taste have also entered Jiang Qiurong's eyes.

Jiang Qiurong is a very picky woman, but the man in front of her from beginning to end makes her not find too many faults, except that she is too young.

However, Ren Pingsheng's young skin, combined with his temperament of a mature man in his thirties, has another unique charm.

Jiang Qiurong is still difficult to describe this feeling, but she obviously does not reject this feeling, and even enjoys this feeling a little bit.

The oysters on the table have bottomed out, and Ren Pingsheng raised his red wine glass and signaled:

"Ms. Jiang, I am very lucky to meet you, this glass of wine, thank you. ”

Ren Pingsheng should indeed thank her, if there was no Jiang Qiurong, his first pot of gold would not be so easy to be laundered, and it would be difficult to solve the liquidity problem of Wanyou Network.

Of course, Ren Pingsheng's reward for Jiang Qiurong was also sufficient, otherwise, he would never have had the opportunity to have dinner with her here.

"Mr. Ren, I should be thankful for borrowing your east wind to make me a lot. ”

Jiang Qiurong smiled, raised her glass and touched the man in front of her, and brought it to her lips to take a sip.

Through the transparent glass, the two red lips lightly opened to reveal two rows of white teeth like broken jade, and the crimson liquid was slowly sucked in, and then flowed down the long white and greasy neck, until the two thin collarbones, until the deep ...... below

Ren Pingsheng retracted his gaze and didn't dare to look any further, but a stream of heat had already surged up on his body.

Is it the effect of alcohol? Or is it the mature charm of the glamorous beauty in front of you? Maybe it's both.

Although the male instinct is a little impatient, Ren Pingsheng will never be naïve enough to have fantasies about Jiang Qiurong.

Jiang Qiurong is a practical woman and a calculating woman, she will not waste time on meaningless things.

Having dinner together is just a way to say thank you and solidify our relationship, and it doesn't mean anything else.

For this kind of woman, Ren Pingsheng felt very relaxed, because they had a lot of common language with each other, and many times, Ren Pingsheng didn't need to explain too much, as long as he made a start, Jiang Qiurong immediately understood.

With this tacit understanding, the two get along very well, and in the time of a few dishes, they talk about the economy, finance, and stocks...... Said to enter the port, and eat happily.

"Mr. Ren, although your company is just starting out, I suggest that you still consider introducing venture capital. ”

After listening to Ren Pingsheng's introduction to the current situation of all things, Jiang Qiurong spoke earnestly and authentically.

Ren Pingsheng was silent, as a reborn, he naturally knew the role of venture capital, whether it was Luoyi or Tengxun, they were inseparable from the intervention of venture capital at the beginning of their development, the Internet industry itself is an asset-light industry, there are not many assets that can be mortgaged, and when it is first established, it will experience a long period of loss, and it is basically impossible to raise funds in the domestic financial system.

The only thing that can accept the Internet as a way of doing business, not caring about early losses, and willing to invest money in start-up companies is venture capital.

But Ren Pingsheng's biggest knot at present is that he doesn't want to give up the shares in his hands, because online games are not like other Internet industries, they have strong hematopoietic capabilities, as long as they run like cash cows, at this time, let venture capital in, and the future income will be divided a lot.

Ren Pingsheng is not a generous person, and this is especially true when it comes to money.

Jiang Qiurong listened to his concerns, shook her head as if she felt a little ridiculous, and corrected:

"Venture capital brings to start-ups not only money, but also a set of disciplined management and consulting experience behind them, as well as their own networks and networks. ”

Ren Pingsheng frowned and said: "The management ideas of venture capital may not be suitable for my company, I have my own set of management for myself, and it is not good for others to interfere." ”

Jiang Qiurong saw that his attitude was stubborn, so she changed her tone.

"Do you want to go public?"

Ren Pingsheng thought to himself, isn't this nonsense?

Listing is the dream of every company, and the money of shareholders can be much better than the money of customers.

He thought so and replied.

Jiang Qiurong asked again:

"Have you thought about where to go public?"

Ren Pingsheng thought for a while and replied:

"There are too many restrictions in the A-share market, and the best option is the NASDAQ. ”

Jiang Qiurong asked again:

"Then do you know how to operate in the listing? how to set up the VIE structure, how to register the BVI entity, how to set up the WOFE, how to operate the PREIPO, and where to find the Market Maker?"

Jiang Qiurong's series of rhetorical questions made Ren Pingsheng speechless.

In his previous life, although he had some research on the listing of enterprises, it was only a glimpse of his understanding, and it would definitely not work if he was really asked to operate.

To complete the NASDAQ listing, hundreds of talents in accounting, securities, finance, legal affairs and other aspects are involved, which is a systematic project with a high professional threshold.

It's not that the traverser Ren Pingsheng patted his brain and moved his mouth to do it.

Jiang Qiurong saw Ren Pingsheng's embarrassment, and only then did she show a smile and said:

"I'm talking about these things, venture capital can help you get it. ”

Ren Pingsheng was no longer entangled, he stared at the pair of radiant phoenix eyes in front of him, raised his glass and smiled:

"Thank you, maybe I should ask you to be the advisor of Universal Network, the exclusive advisor. ”

Jiang Qiurong gently touched the red wine glass in her hand with Ren Pingsheng, and replied in a playful voice:

"That's fine. ”

Ren Pingsheng hit the snake with the stick, and pressed it:

"I'll tell you what you say, how much do you want to be paid, just say it. ”

Jiang Qiurong couldn't help laughing, she raised her long and delicate fingers like shallots to cover her red mouth, but the smile in the phoenix eyes couldn't be hidden.

"It's a pity, Mr. Ren, you are one step late, and I am about to be transferred. ”

Jiang Qiurong is indeed going to be transferred, and she will be transferred out of Hanhai City this time to the United States to serve as the preparer of the New York branch of Handong Bank, responsible for the development of Handong Bank's North American business.

Compared with the position of vice president of the financial center branch, Jiang Qiurong's transfer is a real promotion, and she also takes on the task of developing a new market, which can be said to be on the fast track of her career.

Compared with the hesitation and worries of the previous few weeks, Jiang Qiurong saw the hope of the future again.

Of course, all this is closely related to the newly appointed Governor Meng.

Originally a foreigner who had returned from overseas, he had served as an executive in international investment banks such as Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, and this appointment was a new starting point for his career and a new challenge.

Originally, he was also worried that as the leader of the airborne, it would be difficult for him to work in the Handong Bank, which is dominated by the Hancai Department, and if he couldn't figure out the factions within the Handong Bank, he would probably be hollowed out.

Jiang Qiurong's early visit came at the right time and just right.

As the favorite of the former President Chu, Jiang Qiurong knows the network of the Hancai Department in Handong Bank well, as long as she takes it under her door, it will no longer be difficult to slowly dismantle and dismantle the network of the Hancai Department through a series of means in the future.

Therefore, for Jiang Qiurong's timely submission of the name certificate, as well as a bank card with an amount of 1 million yuan sandwiched in the precious calligraphy and painting, President Meng smiled quietly.

What President Meng returned to Jiang Qiurong was a position that was detached from the main battlefield.

This position, although it is worse than what the previous President Chu promised, is the best choice for Jiang Qiurong.

Obviously, after Governor Meng takes office, he will take advantage of the Han Finance Department.

Jiang Qiurong is far away from North America at this time, she can avoid the limelight, and she doesn't have to fall into other people's mouths, and when the domestic war is over, she can also return with praise.

At that time, there will be a lot of vacant seats waiting for the head office, Jiang Qiurong is still very confident in himself, that vote is not for nothing, and there will be a return in the future.

"Very good, then I would like to wish you President Jiang a successful start in New York and all the best. After listening to Jiang Qiurong's whereabouts, Ren Pingsheng raised his glass again to congratulate.

Although I feel a little sorry in my heart, after all, if Jiang Qiurong is in Hanhai City, it is easier for her to do things in the financial system, but although she is gone, she still has influence, and the cooperation between Wanyou Network and Handong Bank should not be too much of a problem.

"Thank you, I also wish Mr. Ren a prosperous company, and I hope that I can welcome the day of Wanyou Network's IPO on Wall Street. Jiang Qiurong smiled and replied with a pun.

The two of them looked at each other and laughed heartily.

Towards the end of the dinner, the messenger removed the plates and served freshly made tiramisu.

Because of her career, Jiang Qiurong was in a very good mood today, so she rarely picked up this high-calorie dessert and took a few bites.

Maybe it was the effect of alcohol, Ren Pingsheng saw the pair of bright red thin lips, biting on the brown finger biscuits, and the white teeth and powder tongue between the opening and closing, occasionally glimpsing a little crimson, and the blood in his body flowed more rapidly.

In order to control himself, Ren Pingsheng took his eyes off Jiang Qiurong's lips, but unfortunately saw her legs under the hem of her red leather trench coat, her right leg resting on her left leg, and her long legs wrapped in light black stockings swayed gently, forming an extremely attractive picture together with the red stiletto pointed shoes on her toes, which further stimulated Ren Pingsheng's wildness that had been suppressed for a long time.

"That's not going to work. Ren Pingsheng shook his head at himself, made an excuse, got up and walked into the bathroom.

......

After wandering in the modern and simple bathroom for a long time, the blood on his body gradually calmed down, Ren Pingsheng walked to the washstand, woke up with cold water, and looked at the face in the mirror that was obviously hanging on his nature, he smiled helplessly.

There is an LCD TV hanging in the corridor outside the "Yilu" toilet, and the host of the CCTV news channel is relaying overseas news, Ren Pingsheng overheard:

"Recently, the founder of Apple in the United States, Steve Jobs, released a new mobile phone at the Macworld 2007 conference, Jobs said: Today Apple reinvented the mobile phone, this mobile phone was named iPhone ......"

Ren Pingsheng trembled like an electric shock, as if he had touched the trajectory of history again.

On the evening of January 9, 2007, on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, in San Francisco, Jobs, released the iPhone.

The TV news, the audience, other mobile phone manufacturers, and the vast majority of people did not realize how much impact the iPhone born on this day would have on the entire mobile phone industry, the communications industry, the Internet industry and related in the future.

The magnitude of this impact is comparable only to the comet that made the dinosaurs extinct in prehistory.

The birth of the iPhone has caused the traditional mobile phone manufacturers to die one after another, Nokia, Motorola, Ericsson, ...... These large enterprises that once stood at the top of the industrial circle fell one by one, just like the dinosaurs of the old era, powerless in front of the iPhone of the new era.

The birth of the iPhone also made Apple the most profitable company in the following ten years, each new iPhone was hyped to sky-high prices by enthusiastic fans, Apple as long as it released new iPhones year after year, it could make a lot of money, and the cash reserves harvested from iPhone sales made Apple rich.

Of course, the most important thing for Ren Pingsheng is that Apple's stock price has increased more than 200 times in 10 years, which is an exciting gain no matter which market it is placed in.

Ren still remembers a metaphor that if someone bought Apple stock with the money he used to buy an iPhone in 2007, he could buy 81 iPhones in 10 years.

However, the stock price used in this metaphor is the price of the iPhone when it goes on sale six months later.

At this moment, Apple's stock price is like an iPhone, which has not yet been warmed up by the capital market and the majority of shareholders.

In the time and space of Ren Pingsheng, on a planet crowded with 6 billion people, only two people firmly believe in the value of the iPhone and Apple.

One of them was named Steve Jobs;

And the other person is called Ren Pingsheng.

......

You are lucky that you did not miss this era.

Ren Pingsheng smiled at himself in the mirror, then vigorously wiped away the water droplets on his face, and turned to walk towards Jiang Qiurong.
