"Your passport and visa and bank card number,"

Near the Los Angeles Stock Exchange, on the eighth floor of a business building where Merrill Lynch is located in Los Angeles, Halm handles paperwork for Mr. Han in his cramped office.

Joshua Han took out his passport, he had just turned eighteen in February, so he was lucky enough to be able to buy stocks in his own capacity.

Foreigners can use their passports to buy U.S. stocks, and there is no problem with that.

With the proof, the procedure was very simple, after the stock account was officially established, Han Zhifeng's bank card transferred three million dollars to the stock account, and after more than a day of operation, Yahoo shares were purchased.

Halm is very professional, taking a long-term low price to buy in four batches, trying to buy at a low level, and finally completing the business explained by Han Zhifeng.

"Now you have 33,831 shares of Yahoo stock in your account, and the purchase price is $87.99-$88.65, which is your certificate. ”

Halm handed Han a file.

Halm did it beautifully and flawlessly, because he knew that this Chinese would never have only these three million dollars in his hands, and there might be a big intersection of interests in the future, and he wanted to leave a good impression on Han Zhifeng.

"Han, you can actually buy biopharma-related stocks, now Yahoo's stock is rising too fast, the valuation is too high, we expect that the early 100s may be its limit, and the same investment in other stocks is much more profitable,"

Halm was still a little stubborn at this time, this Chinese was too stubborn, too distrustful of his personal integrity and Merrill Lynch's professionalism, but unfortunately.

"Halm, I think we can make a small bet, let's say Yahoo stock doubles, I win, if not, you win, bet a thousand dollars. ”

Han Zhifeng played with taste, if it was other stocks, he didn't dare to say, he didn't remember it at all, but Yahoo stock can be described as a miracle, he can't be mistaken, Yahoo stock performance in the past two years is a wild horse that has been off the leash, and the current stock has more than doubled compared to when Yahoo was listed, so some people think it is too high and there is a danger of falling.

Who would have thought that this stock would run wild all the way and quadruple until it met the black swan of two thousand years.

"No problem, I'm up for the challenge,"

Halm smiled and nodded, why didn't he take the thousand dollars he gave for free, and double it again, ridiculous, it was really a good mallet.

After leaving Merrill Lynch, the three came to a Starbucks coffee, and Han Zhifeng discussed the registration of the company with the two.

"Company registration is very particular, generally speaking, there is no need to toss small companies, just local registration. If there is a large flow of funds, and you don't want the government to monitor it in real time, and you want to reasonably avoid the heavy taxes of the US imperialists, then there are two candidates, one Panama and the other Cayman Islands. ”

Liu Rong is very clear about this, last year her boss changed her registered address and registered in the Cayman Islands, and she assisted in liaison and ran the whole process.

"Why is there still Panama, isn't it okay to set up in the Cayman Islands? ”

Han Zhifeng of the Cayman Islands is really very clear, a large number of Internet companies such as Ahri and Du Niang in later generations are registered there, reasonable tax avoidance, and at the same time convenient for capital in and out, there is no foreign exchange control there at all, which is the reason why many companies in China and the United States choose there.

"Well, Panama still has some advantages in tax refunds, and... ”

Liu Rong talked about the matter well, which let Han Zhifeng know the specific things inside, and said a lot of feelings.

"We are still registered in the Cayman Islands,"

It is still unknown what the company can grow, so Han Zhifeng decided to put the shelves up first, he always feels insecure about Panama, since there are so many companies concentrated in the Cayman Islands, it is better to follow the rules.

"Boss, then it will cost tens of thousands of dollars in registration fees, which is the minimum cost for a professional agency. ”

Liu Rong said that their company does not even have a shadow now, there are three or two internal personnel, and there are no manpower to handle it in a few places, so there is only an employment agency, and the commission is of course indispensable.

"Tens of thousands of dollars can still be afforded,"

Han Zhifeng pushed the bank card in his hand to Kong Miao, and told Kong Miao the password.

"The rest of the money can be used to rent an office space and spend the corresponding expenses. ”

"Boss Han is so bold, I'm relieved, otherwise I would be sad to death when I met a Grande. ”

Liu Rong grinned.

"It seems that the state controls foreign exchange, where do you get all this money. ”

Kong Miao was a little curious, until now, the state has controlled foreign exchange, and at this time, China's foreign exchange is too scarce, and foreign exchange is only in and out of the foreign exchange bureau.

"Friends of friends pay directly from here. ”

Han Zhifeng also knew about this problem, so he asked Du Jiabin to open an account with Citigroup in California and deposited three million dollars.

The extra 300,000 US dollars in Kari is the income of the nine stores in Shuzhou, and his dividends in the past two months were handed over by him to Xue Na, Xue Na handed over the RMB to the third brother, and the third brother asked his American friends to directly put 300,000 US dollars into the account of Han Zhifeng of Citibank.

In fact, at this time, domestic enterprises generally use this method to purchase foreign countries, because the state strictly controls the outflow of foreign exchange, so many enterprises and individuals with channels use their channels to earn commissions, and it is not a small number every year.

In the next two days, Han Zhifeng first went to two headhunting companies to submit his job postings, and the rest of the time, Han Zhifeng frantically collected all the news about the American Internet.

For example, the stock fever of Internet companies is not subsiding, such as Microsoft's launch of the 98 operating system, AMD's new chips clamoring to compete with Intel, and so on.

A lot of news is not visible in China, but it is very valuable.

For example, Jobs' first work after his return, iMac, was a big hit, saving Apple from dying.

Joshua Han knows that Apple is past the stage of going out of business, and Nerry Jobs has already begun to target the next product.

Thinking about it, Jobs has seen that it is impossible for Apple to make a comeback from PC computers, and the position of several companies such as IBM is unshakable.

Then if he wants to lead Apple to rise, he must innovate.

Han Zhifeng knew that Steve Jobs must have started to develop an operating system internally, which was the prototype of the iOS operating system of Apple's mobile phone, and also had the initial concept of a smart phone.

Ten years of grinding a sword, and finally shocked the global Internet industry ten years later, causing a major reshuffle of Internet companies, and Apple has not been a blockbuster for ten years.

Ten years later, Steve Jobs is the god of the mobile Internet.

Two thousand years later, many of Apple's smartphone patents have begun to be applied for, which has also created a lot of obstacles for latecomers.

But everything needs money to support it, and he just doesn't have it.

Yes, he now spends so much money on Internet cafes and supermarkets, but it is all for the sake of making money and layout.

Because the investment in these studies is massive, let's put it this way, 10 billion US dollars is the entry level, and he does not even have 100 million yuan in his hand now.

So, lack of money, lack of money.

On this day in '98, Joshua Han was shocked by Apple's news and found himself a poor beggar.

Then, he discovers a fact that leaves him stunned, and his world is messy.
