"Why?" Soros didn't understand Lin Zheng's attitude at all, and asked Lin Zheng strangely: "Lehman Brothers has the best reputation and the best team in the industry, they are trusted by the world's rich and celebrities, and countless superstars and rich people have chosen Lehman Brothers......"

"I know, I know what you said," before Soros could finish speaking, Lin Zheng interrupted him and asked, "But Soros, you tell me, do those really super-rich people choose Lehman Brothers?" ”

Soros, who was still talking about it just now, suddenly didn't know what to say. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info≥ ≥ pointed≥ small ≥ said,

The reason is simple, why do countless sports stars, film and television stars choose Lehman Brothers? Because although these people come to money quickly, they are not good at financial management and investment, but money in the bank is a great waste, and only the money that is spent and can make money is valuable.

In this way, the question arises, how can we ensure that these movie stars and sports stars who have a lot of money but are not good at managing money and investing can ensure that their money can create wealth for them? Investment banks appeared at this time, and investment banks told these film and television stars and sports stars: You have money but don't know how to invest it, how to increase your money? It's so easy to do! Leave your money to us, we have the best and most professional investment and management team, we have the best reputation, the most comprehensive business intelligence and analysis agency and the best government relations, give us the money and let us help you manage your money, you just need to sit at home and see your money continue to grow......

Sounds great, doesn't it? Moreover, since the end of World War II, the U.S. economy has maintained a relatively high growth rate and the blessing of U.S. global hegemony. It has also established a relatively good credit, and countless film and television stars and sports stars have handed over their money to these "professional" investment banks. Waiting for himself to sit at home, his own money will give him a bad life......

But investment banks are not welfare institutions. They are also profit-making institutions, they also want to make money, and the most important thing is that a good investment channel is just that, investment banks have to enter, others have to enter, and those who really have excellent business acumen are far from being able to match the business acumen of those professional managers in investment banks, for the super-rich. Since I have so many investment channels, why should I let my money be earned by investment banks?

No one is stupid.

Although he repeatedly told himself that the young man in front of him was not a rookie, Soros still found that he consciously or unconsciously regarded the young man in front of him as a pink and tender newcomer: This is not good.

Sighing, Soros said apologetically: "Okay, it's my fault, but, Lin, I still hope you can be friends...... It's never a bad thing to be friends with a banker, right? ”

Lin Zheng sighed: "Although I don't rule out becoming friends with bankers. But bankers have no friends, or more accurately...... Banker's friends are all valuable, right? ”

"Hah......" Soros laughed: "That's right, but we're together tonight." Isn't that what it is? ”

Lin Zheng admitted that Soros's words were very reasonable, and he acquiesced to this guy's behavior of introducing Lehman Brothers to him as a "friend".

Lehman Brothers was enthusiastic enough. After a brief greeting, Brother Lehman asked Lin Zheng directly, "Lin." Does ICQ have any plans to go public? If you want to get ICQ on the market, Lehman Brothers can help you in every way possible. ”

Depend on! In the eyes of you bastards. Lao Tzu is a big fat sheep at all! Hearing Lehman's words, Lin Zheng was suddenly a little depressed in his heart, but he was depressed, and he also knew that for these investment bank bosses who were unprofitable and could not afford to make money early, seizing all opportunities to make money was the meaning of their lives...... Don't look at their very nourishing life, but when he thinks that he has a lot of money in his hand waiting to return to him, Lin Zheng feels that their pressure is actually quite great.

Shaking his head with a smile, looking at Brother Lehman, Lin Zheng said: "ICQ will definitely be listed, as an Internet company, it can't be supervised by the public, and it can't make more people profitable, which seems to me to be unimaginable, but I don't think it's a good time for ICQ to go public." ”

Lehman is not surprised, for more than a year, I don't know how many financial institutions and investment banks have extended an olive branch to ICQ, even Lehman Brothers is no exception, but the result? Without exception, everyone was rejected by ICQ, and it would not be strange to be rejected by Lin Zheng again...... At this time, in this place, face is not valuable, and no one will agree to other people's conditions and requests because they feel embarrassed.

He just politely said to Lin Zheng: "Mr. Lin, please forgive me, can I know when ICQ is expected to be listed?" ”

"If nothing else, we are ready to start the steps to go public in the middle of next year." This is the first time that Lin Zheng has clearly given ICQ's listing schedule in a public place.

"Next mid-year? Still half a year away? ”

Lin Zheng's words made everyone around him stunned!

Those present are very familiar with the process and steps of the company's listing, and naturally know that there is still a time process from the launch of the listing to the final listing, but there is no doubt that this is definitely the best news I heard tonight, especially for the professional managers of financial institutions and investment bank presidents that ICQ has been concerned about for a long time, Lin Zheng's words are enough to ensure that they can make a lot of money.

"Lin, what you say is true? You're not kidding? The first person to react was none other than Mr. Soros, a financial big, who grabbed Lin Zheng's arm and asked excitedly.

"You think I'm going to joke about this kind of thing?"

"Of course not," Soros immediately grinned, "Ha...... I also said that I would treat myself to buying a yacht after this investment, and it seems that the plan to buy a yacht needs to be postponed. ”

Compared with Soros, Brother Lehman was even more excited, and his face turned red because of excitement: "Mr. Lin, is what you said true?" Will ICQ really start the IPO process in the middle of next year? ”

"Of course, well, although it is not ruled out that it will be advanced or postponed a little bit due to some special circumstances, but basically that's it."

"This is really good news," Brother Lehman, who finally confirmed this from Lin Zheng's mouth, could no longer be reserved, held Lin Zheng's hand tightly, and said excitedly: "Mr. Lin, Lehman Brothers is willing to provide all help and services for the listing of ICQ......."

"What? Lehman Brothers also wants to hold shares in ICQ? Lin Zheng asked jokingly.

"Of course!" Faced with Lin Zheng's question, Lehman said without hesitation: "Lehman Brothers believes that ICQ is the most viable Internet company since the birth of the Internet, and any company on the market now, whether it is AOL, SCAPE, or Yahoo!" It can't be compared with ICQ, ICQ is definitely the most worthy of everyone's investment in the next 10 years, and Lehman Brothers will definitely be derelict in its duty if it misses ICQ. ”

"Thank you." Lin Zheng didn't expect that Lehman had such a high evaluation of ICQ, and after a pause, he thanked Lehman, but from this point of view, countless rich people have been staring at ICQ for a long time, just waiting for ICQ to be listed, which is a good thing, the reason is naturally very simple, which shows that even these super-rich people are full of confidence in ICQ!

This is definitely a huge positive news for ICQ, even the super-rich and the top investment banks in the industry are so confident in ICQ, do you need to talk about the confidence of ordinary people in ICQ?

"No, it's me who needs to say thank you, thank you for telling me the news," Brother Lehman shook his head, but after hesitating, he still asked Lin Zheng: "Lin, in fact, with ICQ's current ability and level, it is enough to meet all the requirements of listing, why don't you start the listing steps now, and you must wait until half a year later?" ”

"Because AOL appeared, in my opinion, the pace of ICQ's development has slowed down in the past two months, which is not good, very bad, if it goes public at this time, it will be interpreted as ICQ's lack of stamina, and it needs to issue shares to fund the company's development and fight against AOL, which is not the result I want to see, ICQ is launching a new project, and when the new project is launched, AOL will no longer be able to threaten ICQ. Only after AOL has eliminated this threat will ICQ launch its IPO plan. ”

Lin Zheng's tone was very flat, but the strong domineering and self-confidence in his words shocked the two financial tycoons, Lehman Brothers and Soros, and they didn't know what to say: The reason why they are not listed now is because AOL has caused them trouble, and they have to solve their own troubles before starting the listing step?

In the face of Lin Zheng's pride, which can even be called naïve, they were stupid and stunned: to put it bluntly, isn't the purpose of everyone to make the company go public is to collect money from the market and from the people's wallets when their money is not enough, why does Lin Zheng have such an idea?

That's naïve!

But while scolding Lin Zheng for being naïve, I don't know why, Big Brother Lehman and Soros felt a deep chill: this guy either has a broken brain or is super confident in defeating AOL...... Of course, they know exactly what a fortune ICQ will achieve when it goes public with the pride of beating AOL.

Or is this what Lin Zheng is for? (To be continued.) )
