"Jeff?" In the VIP room of Merrill Lynch on Wall Street, Madrid looked at the phone number displayed on the screen of the Ericsson GH337 in his hand in surprise. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

GH337 is Ericsson's flagship product, launched in 1995, as the first GSM network mobile phone, although the GH337 weighs 220 grams, and has a 130x49x24mm "majestic body", but compared with the analog mobile phones of the same era, it can be regarded as a "super small pocket type". GH337 is suitable for 900MHz GSM network, and its performance is much better than that of analog mobile phones in all aspects, and it has many advantages such as fast line grabbing and sensitive receiving signal. GH337 set off the first rush to buy in the mobile phone market.

Originally, Liu Dashao liked this one very much, although it is not the familiar nine-square grid keyboard, but it can be regarded as a real mobile phone, in stark contrast to China's current popular Big Brother.

Unfortunately, China is still in the era of analog networks. GH337 is indeed the first GSM mobile phone introduced into Chinese mainland, but that time was in 1999, when with the support of Guangdong Digital Network, GH337, the GSM mobile phone, finally came into use.

"Jeff, there's going to be something wrong with you bastard, isn't there?" Madrid made a definition with certainty, "I haven't seen you call me for a few days, so I won't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing!" If you have something to say, let it go if you have a fart! ”

"No, no, I'm not gay, I don't have love for you." Jeff's growl could be heard from the earpiece, "The boss has something to do with you, call him yourself." Finally, you write down the phone number: 008620-623......"

"Damn it, Jeff! Don't hang up the phone yet, tomorrow you and Daphne will go to the nearest Merrill Lynch Securities to open two securities accounts in the name of Angel Capital and Phoenix Capital. Madrid, who was familiar with Jeff, knew that Jeff was going to hang up the phone, and hurriedly stopped him.

"I'm busy."

"Brother, this is the boss's request!" Madrid smiled and debunked: "You don't have any funds in your angel capital account, what's there to be busy with?" ”

"Stinky boy, tell me, why did you give Phoenix Capital $150 million in self-use funds, and our angel capital is only $50 million?" Jeff was reluctant to imagine that unforgettable memory, but Madrid wanted to revisit it.

"Don't be angry, Jeff is the one who lost the east and reaped the mulberry. This time, we will use your securities account to operate in the U.S. stock market, and Angel Capital's securities account will have $500 million more than the Phoenix Capital securities account. For angel capital, the revenue is not necessarily worse than that of Daphne's woman. Madrid laughed.

"Alright! Tomorrow I will tell Daphne to go to Merrill Lynch to open a securities account. Jeff's face looked much better, but his anger was not gone, and he hung up the phone without saying goodbye at once.

On the 34th floor of the Four World Financial Center Tower in Manhattan, Madrid stood by the window of the VIP room, looking out at New York Harbor in the distance, slowly waiting for Stanley O'Neill's arrival.

Before 1999, before China opened the global communication service, it was impossible for mobile communications to communicate with Chinese mainland unimpeded, so Madrid did not call Liu Si with the Ericsson GH337 he bought for more than $1,000.

Before Jeff called, he had just negotiated with Stanley O'Neal, head of Merrill Lynch's securities division, in this VIP room, about Merrill Lynch's offer of margin trading and securities lending in Madrid, the provision of specialized securities brokerage business, and absolute confidentiality. The next thing is to sit back and wait for the agreement to be signed, let the facts put into the contract, and give it the weapon of law.

Previously, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Charles Schwab ...... Such a large brokerage could not give Madrid a satisfactory cooperation agreement, and now Merrill Lynch's black pearl Stanley O'Neill immediately made Madrid determined to cooperate with him.

"7% per annum interest rate on financing, calculated on an annual basis; Allocate a dedicated broker to Madrid; A VIP room with trading fees based on volume......"

Stanley O'Neill's string of conditions made it impossible for Madrid to refuse. Although the Fed's interest rate is only a pitiful 2%~3% and the market interest rate is only 4%~5%, there is a risk in the securities market, and an annual interest rate of 7% is definitely very low, plus the interest rate is calculated on an annual basis rather than on a daily basis; Dedicated Broker Allocation ...... Exclusive lounge ...... and so on, so that Madrid could not refuse.

Stanley O'Neill is known as the black whirlwind of Wall Street, the black pearl of finance. Mainly because of his merits, he joined Merrill Lynch in 1986, became Merrill Lynch CFO in 1998, and became the president of Merrill Lynch Securities in July 2001. He became the first black president of Merrill Lynch, one of the three major U.S. investment banks, in the daylight world of Wall Street, and more importantly, his story has just begun.

Stanley O'Neal is a bold man, having historically cut Merrill Lynch by 2 in his first year at the company. More than 30,000 jobs and 19 senior managers were dismissed. As soon as the agreement with Madrid was reached, he went to print the agreement himself.

"Mr. Ma, do you see if there is anything that needs to be added to the agreement?" Stanley walked over with a smile and handed over the agreement printed on A4 paper with both hands.

"Stanley, there's one thing to be clear. The funds in my hands will allow Merrill Lynch to trade as an agent for the securities brokerage business, but the account I use is up to me. "Madrid would like to make it easier to use its own securities account, but if the U.S. tax department finds out, Madrid will be in trouble. How much does $1.8 billion Madrid have to evade taxes?

"It's natural, and the customer's requirements are what we're all about. The customer is God! Stanley smiled in response, agreeing to Madrid's request.

Madrid carefully looked at the terms of the agreement, paying special attention to some notes, pointing out a few clauses where the responsibilities were not obvious, and after revising it several times, Madrid took out the personal seal in his official bag and signed the agreement.

"Happy working together!"

"Happy working together!"

He took the elevator down the financial center building, and out of the gate, he went straight to the roadside public phone on the corner of Wall Street like hot wheels, took a handful of coins from his pocket and stuffed them in.

"Hey, who are you?" You must know the time difference, it is already 1 o'clock in the morning on the Chinese side, so Liu Si is a little confused, and his eyes are slowly full of eye droppings.

"Boss, I'm Madrid."

"Madrid, you bastard, made me wait for almost 1 hour."

"That's... That..."

"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense." Although Liu Si was a little depressed, he was not a stingy person, "Where are you now?" ”

"Boss, I was negotiating the margin trading at Merrill Lynch just now, so there was a bit of a delay. However, boss, you have a lot of them, so you definitely won't bother with me. The flattery in Madrid made a middle-aged woman passing by run away as if she were running away.

"Wool-sama, I'm only 15 years old!" Liu Si didn't give him face, and he didn't want to be verbose, he was really sleepy, "Then have you talked about margin financing and securities lending?" ”

“it’ssoeasy！” As soon as Madrid heard that this was a good time to invite credit, he immediately muttered, "It's signed." I was given a 7% interest rate per annum, calculated on an annual basis; Allocate a dedicated broker to Madrid; A VIP room with trading fees based on volume......"

"Don't talk nonsense, it's a matter of business for you to call. If this thing is done, I'll give you a $100,000 bonus, and if you mess up, you won't think about the bonus this year. Liu Si understands that he has to talk about money with Madrid to be serious.

"Boss, don't lie to me, I don't read much. You haven't paid out the bonuses from the previous ones! ”

"Let's get down to business." Liu Si coughed before he spoke slowly, "You tell Jeff to form an online travel website and a recruitment website. You call me tomorrow morning, give me a fax number, and I will fax the relevant information to you. ”

“ok。”

"Okay, good night."

“……”

Singapore, the United States, Africa, and China, Liu Si has a career, but it is precisely like this, Liu Si feels that he is a little lacking in skills, and Zhou Chang's Taizheng Second Department has not yet been formed. Counting up, Liu Si is currently a one-legged hero, very strong in terms of economy, and somewhat lacking in relative force to defend interests. Determined to urge Zhou Chang to speed up the formation of the Taizheng Mercenary Group and the Tianyan Intelligence Department, Liu Si dragged his sleepy body towards his room in the suite.

Jeff, Zhou Chang, Madrid, Liu Shengqiang...... Everyone has something on their hands.

Jeff and Daphne have been busy raising funds for ICQ, eBay, Blogger and the latest shopping projects lately, and they meet with interested investors from all over the world almost every day, but none of them have actually made successful investments so far.

Madrid is busy with green Liu Si's plan to be the first to absorb chips on the NASDAQ; Zhou Chang survived on the edge of life and death in the gap between the camps of UNITA and the People's Liberation Army, and he had to prepare for the core elite armament of the Tianyan Intelligence Department and the Taizheng Second Department; Liu Shengqiang led a group of subordinates to keep an eye on the changes in the currency exchange rates of Southeast Asian countries, and slowly absorbed the forward contract positions of the Indonesian rupiah, the Philippe so, and the ringgit; Robin Li, Haiping Li...... Needless to say, they are also too busy to death.

Even Liu Si has a lot of affairs recently, and regardless of Shenzhen's investment in vivo and Meizu, the Internet empire he is preparing to build in China also includes B2C, C2C, instant messaging, online travel websites, browsers, Chinese input methods, navigation websites, and casual game websites...... And so on and so forth.

The most important thing is that he also has to go back to Shanghai for the semi-annual annual meeting of Jiante Biotech a week later. He didn't attend last year's annual meeting, and he has to go this year. First, he had to ask about the development of Mengniu Dairy, which he had invested 1 billion yuan; Second, last year, he loaned 500 million yuan with 30% of the shares of Jiante Biotechnology, and now it is almost due, and it should and must be settled; The third is the matter of Times Real Estate, he wants to invite the second generation of those sons to participate in the shares, otherwise Liu Dashao cannot guarantee that he can get Times Real Estate up.

The sun was shining, Father Liu looked at today's newspaper with Erlang's legs crossed, and surprisingly it was already past 10 o'clock, and Father Liu did not enter Liu Dashao's house to pull him up.

"Hong Kong is coming back!" Father Liu looked at the things reported by the People's Daily on a page, and smiled with a complicated expression.
