"I'm not going. I have already taken over a drama on the Xiangjiang side, and the other party is very sincere, and will come to San Francisco to shoot, and I have to prepare carefully. Lin Qingbian politely refused, and finally laughed, "Even if you fly over, I won't go." ”

"What is Tang Huan looking for you to do?" Seeing her daughter put down the phone and walked back to the sofa to sit down, Mother Lin asked casually.

"Let me accompany him in New York to see what stocks are listed, saying that he is about to earn more than 100 million dollars, and he is very excited, and he needs a friend to be by his side to share the joy of harvest." Lin Qingbian picked up the script and replied with a smile.

"Over 100 million dollars? Tang Huan's money is calculated in the unit of 100 million? Lin Libian exclaimed, jumped over, grabbed her sister's arm and shook it a few times, and asked with little stars in her eyes, "Such a spectacular thing, why don't you go and see the excitement." ”

"What's so nice, it's not our own career achievements." Lin Qingbian picked up the script and slapped his sister angrily.

"If you marry him and become a family, it will become a common achievement." Lin Libian muttered unconvinced.

"It's okay not to go, it's okay to date here in San Francisco, it's too far away in New York, it's not good to be alone." Lin Mu expressed her opinion, "If you want to say that Tang Huan, a young man, is pleasing to the eye no matter how you look at it, that is, if he doesn't smile and talk to you, it feels like he is facing a big mountain, and he can't see through what he thinks in his heart." ”

Seeing that the mother was nagging, she shook her head. Lin Qingbian pursed his lips and smiled, and then shook the script in his hand, "You guys are so noisy." I'm going to figure out the script myself. ”

Lin Libian grinned and followed in a bouncing manner.

"What are you doing here?" Lin Qingbian sat in front of the dresser and glared at his sister angrily.

"I'm curious, why did you directly refuse Tang Huan's invitation, didn't you attend the banquet of the President of the United States together some time ago? Isn't it all the same excitement? Lin Libian leaned over and stared at her sister's eyes and asked.

"This time it's different, I feel like if I go. It's dangerous. Lin Libian pushed away her sister's pretty face, "Don't gossip so much, okay." ”

"Well, no more gossiping." Lin Libian nodded obediently. "Tell me, what is danger?"

"Stinky girl, you've been a ghost since you were a child, and now you're pretending to be so stupid. I'm looking for a fight. Lin Libian pressed her sister on the bed in annoyance. He snorted and threatened.

"Brother Baoyu spares his life." Lin Libian shouted, so frightened that Lin Qingbian quickly let go of his hand, "Don't shout, I don't want to be scolded with you." ”

Lin Lifang stood up proudly, with her hands behind her back, pacing, and said in an old-fashioned manner: "Miss Lin, you always run away like an ostrich. It's not okay to refuse to face up to the problem, and Aunt Qiong Yao's literary movie is not reality. If Tang Huan is so indecisive and can't control the situation, how can people make more than 100 million dollars. I dare to pack a ticket, there is a good chance that he will come to you, and he will not be able to run if he wants to. ”

"Then I'll resign myself to my fate." Lin Qingbian snorted angrily, "Anyway, I feel more and more that I am like a fish in Tang Huan's net, as long as he wants to fish, it is futile to struggle." ”

Seeing that her sister's emotions suddenly became self-pitying, Lin Libian felt that she had gone a little too far, and hurriedly dropped a sentence, "I just said it casually with feelings, don't take it to heart, that, continue to read your script......"

Then, she grimaced and slipped away.

Looking at his sister's funny appearance, Lin Qingbian smiled, and couldn't help but remember that not long ago, the two sisters participated in the community public welfare activities organized by the Shennong Foundation, and they were also so naughty and lively.

Alas, not only is he Tang Huan's prey, a Shennong Fund, but I don't know how many people have cheered and loved him, what men want is the feeling of the stars holding the moon.

Lin Qingbian shook her head vigorously and picked up the script again, this is the movie "Love Killing" that Xiangjiang director Tan Jiaming is preparing to make, after she watched it, she thought that she might be able to use this to try to change her performance style, so she took it.

……

However, my sister's chirping mouth really worked.

Early the next morning, Tang Huan actually came to visit, and Lin Qingbian was so surprised that he asked, "Aren't you in New York?" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Libian, who was sitting at the dining table, laughed deliciously, making the whole family, except for Lin Qingbian, inexplicable.

Looking at Lin Qingfang's face gradually turning red, Tang Huan, who was surprised, snorted, "Didn't I fly back to invite you to New York with me?" ”

"I haven't had breakfast yet, let's have some together." Father Lin interjected and sent out an invitation.

"Thank you, aunt and uncle." Tang Huan smiled and nodded, walked over and sat directly on the empty seat.

Lin Qingfang, who was robbed of his seat, glared at Tang Huan, and could only move the chair himself in addition to bringing dishes and chopsticks to the other party.

"What kind of stock are you talking about, can it really be worth more than 100 million dollars?" Lin Libian, who was sitting next to her, tilted her head and asked Tang Huan curiously.

Father Lin coughed lightly, "Don't just inquire about other people's business secrets. ”

"It doesn't matter, after tomorrow, this information will be in broad daylight, and it is not a trade secret." Tang Huan smiled and waved his hand.

"That's a good skill." Father Lin, who was in awe, sighed with emotion, and the rest of the Lin family also reacted in this way.

"This is called paper wealth, which is very different from the numbers on the bank passbook, and after the listing, it will definitely rise and fall, and you can't take it too seriously." Tang Huan was humble while chewing slowly and eating breakfast.

Seeing that Tang Huan would rather fly back and forth between San Francisco and New York non-stop, and personally come to the door to invite Lin Qingbian to watch the grand event of the stock listing, Lin's father and Lin's mother couldn't say much, so they could only let their daughter decide for herself.

"There's a couple of hours of time difference between the east coast and the west coast, so it's just in time." Lin Qingfang, who accepted his fate, asked, and obviously agreed to this invitation.

"Just in time. Tomorrow will be on the market, and we will have plenty of time. Tang Huan nodded, "You can also take a trip by the way." ”

……

When Lin Qingbian was fooled by Tang Huan, he went to the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, which is located in Midtown Manhattan, New York, and is still owned by the Hilton Hotel. When I found out that I had only booked one suite, I was very angry.

"What's the matter, just rest separately." Tang Huan, who was innocent, spread his hands with a smile.

"That's not going to work, let's go open another guest room." Lin Qingbian hit Tang Huan, who was a little ill-intentioned no matter how he looked at it, with a women's bag.

"There are no rooms left, and this hotel has a lot of guests, so the availability is always in demand. I managed to get a suite. Tang Huan began to play tricks, raised his hand and pointed upward, "Don't believe it." The official residence of the U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations is located on the top 42nd floor, where the New York train station Grand Central Station is located, and the hotel's own platform. Roosevelt, Adlai? Stevenson, Douglas? MacArthur was the American dignitaries. They all use this platform to travel or stay in. Even including the earlier Qing Zhili Governor Li Hongzhang. ”

"Don't lie to me, even if the housing is in demand, you must have a way." Lin Qingbian pushed Tang Huan.

"You can just save me money." Tang Huan had a bitter look on his face, "Even if the family has a big business, then you have to be able to live." ”

"You deserve it, so many hotels, who let you have to stay here. Besides, you're not going to make a fortune tomorrow. As for being so stingy. Lin Qingbian smiled and began to look at the layout in the suite. Then he stood at the door of the master bedroom and issued a ban, "Then I will live here, dare to plot against him, and kill him." ”

Tang Huan smiled noncommittally, took Lin Qingfang's hand and kissed it lightly, "That's it, I'll go order food." ”

Seeing that although Tang Huan's demeanor was intimate, it was still polite, Lin Qing's worried mood finally calmed down, especially after she was safe that night, she let down her vigilance.

……

On Friday, September 12, 1980, three months ahead of the original time and space, Apple's stock was finally listed.

As a result of the reverberation auction, the bankers finally set a share price of $22 per share, an increase of $4 from the original $18 per share.

Although Tang Huan entered the game by opportunism, the Zheru he created boosted Apple's performance, making it more public than the original 4.6 million shares and raising more than $101 million, the most since Ford Motor went public in 1956.

Therefore, in fact, Tang Huan did not share the interests of others, he just took advantage of Apple's listing to get the part that should have belonged to him from the part of the benefits generated.

Within hours, Apple's shares were snapped up, and the Morgan Stanley folks were smiling, after all, they would get a seven-percent commission from it.

Looking at a group of men in suits and leather shoes, discussing obscure numbers and opening champagne to celebrate, Lin Qingfang, who was dressed in full costume and shining brightly, couldn't help but feel a little confused, is this a secular pursuit different from art?

No matter what, Lin Qingbian was sincerely happy about Tang Huan's achievements, and many commemorative photos left her smiling like a flower, and there was even an intimate shot of each other imprinting their lips on each other's faces.

In the anticipation of investors, at the close of the day, Apple's stock price rose to $35, exceeding the closing price of $29 in the original time and space, and the market value crossed the original level of $1.778 billion, easily breaking through $2 billion in one fell swoop.

The myth of wealth created by Apple's IPO is not limited to this, it has made 300 people millionaires and 4 billionaires at the same time.

This news spread all over Wall Street in an instant, and everyone couldn't help but look sideways, and the four billionaires who fell from the sky have become entrepreneurial idols in the minds of countless people.

Jobs, who protected his shares like eyeballs, had a personal net worth of $256 million. This year, he was only 25 years old.

Makura, the most discerning angel investor, also got a paper fortune of more than $200 million. This year, he was 38 years old.

Tang Huan, who was killed halfway, relied on his self-developed spreadsheet software CGrid. The great work done by Apple Computer has been rewarded with more than $150 million. The year, his actual age. The same is 25 years old, but on official documents, it is less than this age.

The inventor of Apple I and Apple II, the technical genius Woz, is ranked next to Tang Huan. This year, he was 30 years old.

Originally, as the founder of Apple. Woz has more stocks in his hands than Tang Huan, so he shouldn't be at the bottom.

But the well-meaning Watts noticed the unfair distribution of shares within Apple. In particular, the old people who assembled computers in the garage in the early days were ruthlessly ignored.

Among these people, there is Daniel, a close friend who went to college with Jobs and went to India together? Kotki.

As a result, Wolds launched a "Woz Project". put some shares in its name. Sell it at a low price, or even give it to these colleagues altogether.

It was because of this that Woz slipped to fourth place.

"Mike, we're all rich." Tang Huan laughed and hugged Makula hard.

"Yes, but you have one more chance, or even two, like this, because Zheru and EA are already being targeted by Wall Street." A gentlemanly Macoola. Reserved patted Tang Huan on the shoulder.

"The foundation is too shallow, I don't dare to be too optimistic." Tang Huan poured two glasses of champagne. Handed Macoola a cup.

"I hope that the cooperation between us can still be as close as before." The scenery of Makula seems to have a faint worry.

"IBM, which has entered the PC market, will be a rival to all vested interests, and Apple is not alone." Tang Huan stared at the champagne and said slowly but firmly: "However, from next year, a battle for personal computer standards will inevitably begin, and whoever can't keep up with this beat may be out." ”

"After the success of this financing, the funds required for Apple's operation will be more secure, and the research and development results of the Lisa project will be released soon." Makula looked at Tang Huan, "When the time comes, we will also need Zheru's software to fight side by side." ”

"Definitely, definitely." Tang Huan smiled and nodded in agreement, but sighed in his heart, a graphical user interface may be enough for you to be busy for at least two more years.

After Tang Huan finished entertaining, Lin Qingbian asked in a low voice, "When are we going back to San Francisco?" ”

"Wait a minute, I'll have to deal with a Wall Street Journal interview tomorrow." Tang Huan shook Lin Qingfang's soft little hand, "Let's have a candlelight dinner in the evening and celebrate." ”

Lin Qingbian nodded helplessly, and in fact, she had no objection.

……

When in the romantic atmosphere of the flickering candlelight, unconsciously, after drinking several glasses of red wine, Lin Qingbian suddenly felt a little uneasy in her heart, especially after meeting Tang Huan's bright eyes a few times, her ears were even more enthusiastic and her heart was beating, and her cheeks were like fire.

I can't drink anymore, Lin Qingbian, who was slightly drunk, secretly warned himself that the man in front of him was full of spirit during the day, and the lethality to women was too great, thinking about the scene when the two kissed each other on the cheek, you can understand the subtlety.

Tang Huan picked up the crystal cup and said considerately: "After drinking these, let's finish it." You go take a shower and rest, and I'll let the maid clean up. Tomorrow, the Wall Street Journal will be arranged here, and I will go and explain it to the hotel. ”

Lin Qingfang, whose eyes were shining, also picked up the crystal cup, "Congratulations again, billionaire." Among your Chinese peers, you should be the first, isn't it particularly fulfilling? ”

Looking at Lin Qingfang, who was obviously talking more, Tang Huan smiled playfully, touched the cup with a ding, and replied slowly: "Someone to share, especially with you, that's called a sense of achievement." ”

"You always do things and talk so silently." Lin Qingbian grinned, raised his glass, and drank it heroically.

Watching Lin Qingbian get up and take a bath, Tang Huan smiled and slowly drank the wine in the cup.

……

After taking a shower, the alcohol seems to have lightened a little, but the thoughts in my mind have become more flexible, and my feelings have become more sensitive.

While combing his hair, Lin Qingbian experienced this wonderful feeling of being slightly drunk, and a brisk smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

After dealing with the trivial matters, Tang Huan gently walked into the master bedroom, came behind Lin Qingbian, looked down and sniffed, looked at the delicate face in the mirror, and praised sincerely, "It's so fragrant, it's so beautiful!" ”

"It stinks, go take a shower." Lin Qingbian sneered.

"Yes." Tang Huan nodded, kissed Lin Qingbian on the shoulder, and walked out with brisk steps.

Listening to the footsteps disappearing at the door, Lin Qingbian couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, there seemed to be something wrong with what he just said, and why didn't he reprimand this guy and walked into this bedroom without permission.

The uneasiness in Lin Qingbian's heart became even stronger, and the woman's intuition told her that something would definitely happen next.

After a period of confusion in his thoughts, Lin Qingfang, who bit his lower lip, got up and came to the bedside, picked up the phone, and slowly dialed a number.

The line was on, and then, a familiar man's voice came from the microphone.

Lin Qingbian suddenly didn't know what to say, and fell silent.

"Qingfang, is that you?"

"Yes." Lin Qingfang's voice trembled, and he said thoughtlessly, "I'm going to get married." ”

After an "oh" in the microphone, there was a long silence.

only got a response to this one word, Lin Qingbian suddenly felt that his past infatuation was really a little ridiculous, and a line of tears slid down his cheeks.

The man's bathing speed far exceeded Lin Qingfang's expectations, and after hearing the footsteps, she buckled the microphone in frustration and raised her hand to wipe her tears.

"Who to call, it's mysterious, it's not the first love." Tang Huan, who had already walked into the master bedroom, quipped. (To be continued......)
