At eight o'clock in the morning EST, the Lincoln sedan stopped in the open-air parking lot outside the trading building at the Nasdaq market headquarters at 43 Broadway and 4 Times Square.

Xia Yun pushed the car door and got out of the car, looked up at the huge cylindrical display screen on the building, and stopped silent.

It is still very early at half past nine when the NASDAQ officially opens, but looking in from the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, you can already see the bustle of people coming and going, and the huge LED display on the exterior wall displays the logo of Nanyang Group, and loops the words "NASDAQ welcomes Nanyang Education Group" and "NASDAQ welcomes Mr. Xia Yun".

Today is the day of the official listing of Nanyang Group, and it is also the main purpose of Xia Yun's visit to New York this time, in order to cooperate with this occasion, Xia Yun rarely wore a formal black suit, white shirt and black leather shoes, wearing a red tie, with a newly bought Vacheron Constantin watch, staring at the deep eyes of the huge LED display, but also has the posture of a successful person.

Of course, if there was no Xia Yongfang looking around next to him, looking like a curious baby hillbilly, this picture would be more harmonious.

Jiang Peilan's voice came from behind him, "I'm about to become the chairman of a listed company here, how do you feel?" ”

"It's a strange feeling!"

Xia Yun withdrew his gaze from the huge display screen and looked back at Jiang, who was also dressed in a black suit. Perrin shrugged his shoulders, "In such a tall place as NASDAQ, I naturally have admired the name for a long time, but I basically don't know anything about the company that will be listed here under my name, and I have never been to the company's headquarters once, except for signing and drawing a pledge, I am the puppet chairman, not to mention that there is no one to come, at least it is unprecedented!" ”

"What is a puppet chairman, it's really ugly. It's true that you're lazy and the shopkeeper! ”

Jiang Peilan smiled and patted Xia Yun on the shoulder, and pointed to the security checkpoint at the gate in front of him, where a bunch of people gathered, "Where are the people from Nanyang Group who came to participate in this ceremony today, Xia Dong, hurry up and meet you...... There's a lot of preparation and rehearsal to be done, and you, the chairman, will have to give a speech in English when the bell rings later...... By the way, how did I memorize your speech? Don't stammering and not being able to memorize it when the time comes, it will be a shame and a big shame! ”

"Don't worry, it's just two minutes. A manuscript of hundreds of words, I guarantee that I will not drop the chain, but I was still one of the four talents of our college, well, although I have not passed the fourth or sixth level of English! ”

"It's poor!"

…………

It's been almost a week since that day of negotiations with Andrew and the Gary family.

This week, whether it is Xia Yun or Jiang Peilan, they are very busy!

On the second day after the meeting, after sending Liu Zonghan and Liu Mengqing on the plane, Jiang Peilan was accompanied by Gao Zhengpeng. went directly to the headquarters of the New York Chinatown Circle and officially took over the New York Circle.

Xia Yun went to the best hospitals in New York, Columbia and Cornell Presbyterian Hospital...... It was there that Fan Laosan underwent surgery that day.

The operation lasted nearly five or six hours, but it was quite successful. According to the surgeon, Fan Laosan's spinal canal is quite well restored, the nerve cells are not immediately paralyzed and shocked, and the spinal canal is a favorable condition for the recovery of nerve function, etc.

Tong guò translated. After speaking a lot of terms that Xia Yun did not understand, the doctor came to a conclusion - he was hospitalized for a month, and at the same time used drugs and acupuncture to repair the nervous system. If the effect is good, you can be discharged from the hospital and go home to recuperate, and the chances of getting back on your feet are still quite high.

Xia Yun thanked the doctor a few words, sat on the edge of the bed and waited for Fan Laosan to wake up, told him the good news, and talked to him for a while.

When I returned to the manor, it was twelve o'clock in the evening, and both Xia Yun and Jiang Peilan were quite tired, and they had no interest in intimacy, so they hugged each other and fell asleep together after taking a bath.

On the third day, Jiang Peilan and Gao Zhengpeng went to the headquarters of the Huaqing Gang to worship the mountain, and at the same time, they officially announced to the people on the road that Jiang Peilan would be in charge of the New York circle in the future, and Xia Yun flew to Los Angeles to participate in the Wanwei Cosmetics Company's exhibition there.

After only staying in Los Angeles for one day, Xia Yun didn't wait for the end of the exhibition, so he irresponsibly threw down Li Jin and Li Yuncong, who were speechless, and flew back to New York to prepare for today's listing bell ringing ceremony.

In contrast, Jiang Peilan is even more busy with her feet on the ground, she has just taken over the big circle, and there are a lot of things to talk about, and she has a lot of things to deal with when she breaks away from the Andrew family.

Asset transfer, personnel arrangement, work handover...... When negotiating with Chris, it was just a few simple and easy words, but in practice, there were countless things to arrange.

For a few days in a row, Jiang Peilan went out early and returned late, except for eating and sleeping, she didn't stay with Xia Yun for more than two hours, and it wasn't until yesterday that she breathed a sigh of relief and prepared for today's listing bell ringing ceremony with Xia Yun.

…………

This time, Nanyang Group came to participate in the listing bell ringing ceremony, a total of more than 20 people, mainly the principals of more than a dozen schools under the group, as well as senior executives of the group headquarters, as well as investment banking staff, law firm staff, public relations and so on who are responsible for stock underwriting.

This group of people came to New York two days later than Xia Yun, and it wasn't until yesterday that Xia Yun came to the hotel where they stayed to meet with them, and held a meeting to discuss today's listing matters.

The reason why it is said that most of them is because two of them have met Xia Yun, Lu Xingyun, the president of Nanyang University in Hangzhou, and Yan Wenzhou, the head of the audit team at that time and now the chief financial officer.

Xia Yun also got to know the senior management of Nanyang Group comprehensively and systematically for the first time, but except for Lu Xingyun and Yan Wenzhou, who had contact with him before, as well as Wu Shoujing, the general manager of the company, and Ren Xiaoying, the secretary of the chairman, most of the others only stayed on the surface and had a fancy understanding, just remembering people and names.

Wu Shoujing is 43 years old this year, is in the golden age of men's career, he and the secretary of the board of directors Ren Xiaoying, the chief financial officer Yan Wenzhou are the original Andrew Fund under the middle-level elite, professional manager team, when Jiang Peilan and Xia Yun took Nanyang Group from Li Chenggang, his team was sent to Nanyang Group by the fund. Succeeded the previous top management and took charge of the day-to-day affairs of the Nanyang Group.

I thought that this dispatch was the same as before, just a period of custody, and then find a suitable buyer to package and sell it after the completion of the asset restructuring of Nanyang Group and the successful listing, so as to complete a beautiful capital operation, but I didn't expect to receive the news of the resignation of Jiang Peilan, the chairman of the fund, a few days ago, and at the same time, along with this news, there was also an olive branch handed by Jiang Peilan.

It was with Jiang Peilan leaving Andrew's fund and entering her newly established fund. Temporarily rooted in Nanyang Group, or wait for the success of this listing, leave Nanyang Group to continue to stay in Andrew Fund, Wu Shoujing discussed with other people in the team for a few nights, and met with Xia Yun yesterday, and after chatting for more than an hour, he finally made a decision.

Seeing Xia Yun and Jiang Peilan walking side by side, Wu Shoujing remembered the conversation with Xia Yun yesterday, and her heart was still a little turbulent. He immediately took a deep breath and led everyone to greet him.

"Mr. Xia, Mr. Jiang!"

"Everyone is here, you came so early, it seems that I, the chairman, are not concerned haha!"

Xia Yun stretched out his right hand. shook hands with Wu Shoujing, and smiled at Ren Xiaoying, Yan Wenzhou, and those principals behind him, and laughed at himself, causing everyone to laugh.

"Mr. Xia, Mr. Jiang. It's 8:05 a.m., and when it's 8:30 a.m., we'll need to go outside to the square. Take a group photo with the NASDAQ trading building as the background, the photo will be displayed on the LCD screen outside, and then at 8:50, the exchange staff will arrange a rehearsal for us to ring the bell for the listing, followed by watching the video introduction about the NASDAQ, at 9:24, the vice president of the NASDAQ Robert officially came to the stage to speak, which lasted for two minutes, and then Xia Dong you made a speech, which was also two minutes, and finally everyone came to the stage, at 9:30, by Xia Dong, you pressed the orange button on behalf of the listing... …”

It was Ren Xiaoying, the secretary of the board of directors, who spoke, although today's itinerary had been carefully discussed at yesterday's meeting, but out of responsibility, Ren Xiaoying still explained to Xia Yun and everyone again, "After the listing bell ringing ceremony, it is the opening time of the inquiry, according to the inquiry range, the intention to buy and sell, the stock underwriter determines the final opening price, during which the executives of NASDAQ will give gifts to our company, and after the official opening, the media that have made an appointment in advance will interview Mr. Xia in turn......"

Xia Yun nodded, looked around, but saw that the others, especially the principals of those schools, were all a little excited with a hint of nervousness, and couldn't help laughing, "Today is the big day of our Nanyang Group, as witnesses and participants, everyone should be excited...... Of course, everyone should be more excited that everyone's net worth will also rise significantly! ”

Everyone laughed when he said this, except for those investment bank staff, the others were basically the top management of Nanyang Group, more or less holding the company's internal shares and original shares, if the company was successfully listed, their net worth would indeed rise significantly.

Xia Yun raised his left hand and looked at his watch, "Okay, it's almost time, let's go in!" ”

……

At the same time, Viet Ninh Li City.

Although it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening, Xia Yun's house was quite lively at the moment, in the hall on the first floor with air conditioning and heating turned on and the lights were brightly lit, a large square table was set up, and several middle-aged and elderly women were gathered around, enthusiastically carrying out the activities that most of the Heavenly Dynasty aunts loved - mahjong.

The other men sat on the sofa smoking, drinking tea, playing chess, chatting, and so on.

"Eat!"

"Ninety thousand!"

Xia Yun's aunt, Xia Yongfang's mother threw out a mahjong card and muttered in her mouth, "I don't know what Ah Yun said to the second uncle that morning, now a few days have passed, the second uncle still looks stupid, every morning he gets up and sits in the yard in a daze until the evening, and Yuan asked him to go to the hospital for a check-up, but the scolded dog is bloody, it's not a matter if it goes on like this, everyone is worried about death!" ”

Xia Heyuan, who was sitting on the sofa smoking a hookah next to him, said, "Yes, you didn't see the situation at the time, I was really scared, it's the first time I've seen my second uncle faint for decades, not to mention that my face was so white after I came, and what did you say about whether the fourth sister was dead or not...... When will Ah Yun and Ah Fang come back? ”

"South Wind!"

Xia Yun's mother touched a piece of mahjong, glanced at it and threw it out directly, and also thought in some distress, "I just called him yesterday, let's not worry about the second uncle, just wait for him to come back...... The dead boy should be back in just two days...... Alas, this dead child has stiff wings now, and he doesn't tell his family anything, and Lao Xia and I can't ask...... If you don't come back, you may be able to catch up with the wedding of the second Wynn! ”

"Bump! I've been waiting for this south wind for a long time haha! ”

Her opponent is an old neighbor sister next door, and then said with a smile, "I said big sister, you should be content, there is such a great son as Ah Yun, who of us old neighbors does not envy you and Lao Xia, by the way, speaking of weddings, when is your Ah Yun going to get married, I heard that he is talking with several girls, tsk!" Sure enough, becoming a big boss is different, I really didn't see it before...... Hey! ”

As she was talking, she suddenly kept her eyes, opened her mouth wide and looked at the TV on the wall opposite her in a daze, and couldn't close it for a while, "Big sister, isn't that your family's Ah Yun, he is on the evening news of our city TV station!" ”

"Ah Yun is in the United States now, what TV news is on, Aifen, you are wrong!"

Xia Yun's mother retorted in her mouth, but she subconsciously turned her head and looked at the TV behind her.

In the television screen, in a room full of large and small, colorful screens behind him, a young man stands in front of the podium, muttering in English to the camera.

This young man has a short mental break, a straight suit and tie, and a light but confident expression, isn't it his own son? (To be continued......) R1292
