"It doesn't seem to be very cold in here." Standing on the bustling streets of New York, Guan Xin was wrapped like a silkworm baby, "I checked it when I came, and the latitude here should be about the same as Yanjing." ”

"Don't worry, haven't you seen the cloudy sky, it's going to snow soon!" Chen Bo put his arm around her shoulders and said, pointing to the dark sky and saying, Snow does not turn cold This is a truth that only northerners understand.

"It's snowing, it's beautiful! Especially on New Year's Eve. Guan Xin jumped like a child, completely lacking the shrewd and capable appearance of work.

After Christmas, Micro Music will be in New York for the last stop of the pre-IPO global roadshow, which has already toured Hong Kong Island, Tokyo, and London, and will officially land on the NASDAQ after this roadshow. Generally, newly listed companies will carry out this necessary public relations activity, explain the company's operation to investors, and answer the questions of investment institutions, otherwise no one will know what you are doing and go public directly for financing, and if no one subscribes, it will fall below the issue price on the same day.

New Year's Eve in New York is even bigger than Christmas, and the stage is set up early in Times Square, so it's really not a good choice to see a show live and celebrate New Year's Eve with other people. At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, you have to go to occupy a seat, as long as you have a fixed area, you can no longer leave, after all, it is a public gathering, and the security is still very strict.

There are also Central Park long-distance New Year's Eve runs, dynamic New Year's Eve bike races, Madame Tussauds New Year's Eve parties, and many New Year's Eve balls. Chen Bo and Guan Xin chose to go to Prospect Park in Brooklyn, which not only has a variety of performances, but is also much freer than Times Square.

“5…… 4…… 3…… 2…… 1……”

With the neat and uniform countdown of the tsunami and the dazzling fireworks rising into the sky, forming the words "2004, Happy New Year", the new year has finally arrived. The young men and women kissed passionately with the brilliant fireworks, and of course the two were not ambiguous, just an ordinary couple in this huge crowd.

"Wow, it's snowing!" After the fireworks show, snowflakes began to fall in the dark night, and snow was a luxury for southerners, especially Guan Xin, who is the kind of Lingnan who rarely sees snow all year round. ”

"Why do you have to be in Tokyo?" Chen Bo wondered.

"Remember Tokyo Love Story? The reason why I took Japanese was also because of that TV series, and I still remember the lines in it: I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I stand in front of you. Guan Xin stood in front of Chen Bo, standing with her hands in her hands, looking up affectionately, like Chiming Lixiang.

This is probably the first Japanese TV series introduced in China, and it is still broadcast on CCTV, and it is also the originator of youth idol dramas, which was extremely popular in the early 90s, how could Chen Bo not be impressed.

"If I'm lonely in the middle of the night, will you come running?" The two of them are in the quiet street with heavy snow, comparing New York to Tokyo, and Guan Xin is saying classic lines from the TV series.

"Will fly."

"If I call at the top of the Himalayas and ask you to pick me up?"

"Will pick it up!"

"What if you want to bring the hot black wheel?"

"I'll bring a whole bunch of them!" Chen Bo's arms drew a large circle in the air, gesturing.

"What if I wanted to do a Beatles concert at home?"

"I'll invite them!"

"What about John Lennon?"

"I'll sing for him!"

"Then you sing it......"

Nani? Chick, you don't play according to the routine, isn't the following line still a rainbow? Isn't it the hero and heroine who have a mouth-to-mouth discussion of life? Guan Xin's playful eyes under her curved eyelashes seemed to be deliberately teasing him.

“hey，Jude！ don't make it bad......" Chen Bo opened his mouth to sing, his deep voice echoing through the street.

"me, it's not John Lennon's!"

"Uh...... The others won't. ”

"And what will you do?"

What will be? A thousand words are not worth a domineering kiss, despite the security guards waiting around, Chen Bo picked up the flawless cheek without any scruples, and covered it directly with a big mouth, a sensual woman is actually that simple.

"I hate it, the lipstick is all spent." Leaving his hot lips, Guan Xin said angrily like a little daughter, "I want you to compose a song for me, only I can have it, otherwise you will go to sleep on the floor at night!" ”

Chen Bo was forced to be helpless, and began to start the search state in his mind again, and after 5 seconds, he had successfully matched a melody.

"There is a girl from the south living in a village in the north

She didn't say much, but her smile was so calm and melodious

What was in her weak eyes was the sorrow of longing

……

Southern girl: Are you used to the cool autumn in the north?

Southern Girl: Do you like the straightforwardness of northerners?

……”

"Phew, where are you straightforward, a belly of flowers!" Guan Xin scolded with a smile, but her eyes were full of spring. Love, I have long been touched by this simple ballad.

"I'm honest, hehe." Chen Bo touched the back of his head and smiled heartlessly.

The night in New York is getting deeper, the snow is getting heavier, and two fiery souls are complaining to each other in the air of the city. Blend.

The Christmas holidays are finally over, life goes on, and the whole city is back to its usual busy scene, and Wall Street is the best representative of New York. Crazy crude oil futures have begun to hit new highs, and the recovering Nasdaq is opening its capital with a big mouth.

Dressed in a simple, modest and dignified waist-cinching suit, Guan Xin pulled up her long hair and described to the participating investors in the standard conference room of the Four Seasons Hotel how Mai Dong used technology to operate around the music industry.

And Chen Bo was sitting in the office of the New York investment department of the B&P Foundation at Rockefeller Center, blowing water with Chris, a stubborn American.

The Rockefeller Center sounds quite lofty, but in fact it has long had little to do with this prominent family, and in the 80s, together with the Empire State Building, it was acquired by the unstoppable Japanese consortium Mitsubishi, and Sony also bought Columbia's three-star pictures in that era of yen pride, and the Japanese even frantically shouted the slogan of buying the whole world.

Everyone knows what happened next, the Japanese economy went back for ten years, and the Rockefeller Center and the Empire State Building returned to the Americans. History is always strikingly similar, and who would have thought that ten years later there would be Chinese people waving money and shopping spree in New York City, and who knows if it will be a repeat of the mistakes of the past or a unique path?

Chris is now living comfortably, not only in charge of the foundation's securities investment department, but also very profitable, in order to facilitate his work, he rented a company in Rockefeller at a high price. Wall Street is actually only about a few hundred meters long, and now all Wall Street is a broad concept, referring to the surrounding financial industry neighborhoods, just like Silicon Valley is not a specific valley, but a large area of the main technology industry.

"Chen, if you hadn't insisted on shorting the story back then, I'm afraid we wouldn't have reached the scale we have now." Chris sighed.

"If you hadn't stopped me, we would have made a lot more profit!" Chen Bo teased.

"I'm also thinking about risk control, it's my professionalism."

"Don't get cheap and sell well, it's right to be cautious, after all, the failures of the Tiger Fund and the Quantum Fund are vivid."

"Well, I've been strictly controlling the risk, not only our own money but also so many investors, and a little mistake won't eat me?" Chris looked smug and said, "Ant Search, isn't it time to consider putting the plan to go public?" ”

"Who's entrusted you with this, you've never asked about that before." Chen Bo squinted his eyes and said vigilantly.

"Ahem, all of them are acquaintances from investment banks. They can't find you, but they see me every day, and they come every now and then to ask. Chris said depressedly.

This is the truth, Chen Bo doesn't see all the people in the investment bank, they are all cats who run when they smell fishy, what good things can be. It's nothing more than tricking you into going public so that you can make a profit. He is gone, but all investment banks know that Ant Search is responsible for investing in a B&P fund, can they not bother him?

Google's IPO valuation reached $27.1 billion, and the price-to-earnings ratio was close to 300 times. Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Lehman, Citigroup, and Morgan Stanley are all scrambling like sharks in blood, and even Page's ridiculous offer to bid for the right to issue a ticket to keep the fee down will be accepted.

Ant Search has a global layout, and it is now the consensus of the entire Internet community to fight Google to the end. Although Chen Bo has repeatedly said in public that he has no plan to go public, investment banks will not think so, all companies are like you, they are not allowed to drink the northwest wind.

"Ignore them, they can't grab Google if they go public now, and the company is not short of money now." Chen Bo said bluntly, "Withstand the pressure, you will find that we will harvest more in the future." ”

According to the business ideas of the Americans, it is very routine, a start-up company has its own business model, even if it loses money, it will choose to go public and expand its financing, or sell the company directly. And the boss's idea is not simply to increase the company's market value, does it have to be like Microsoft to choose a super IPO to attract the firepower of all investment institutions?

Although he couldn't figure it out, Chris still respected his choice, Ant Company was not short of money, and the foundation did not need to cash out the company's shares to make a profit. Crude oil futures, stocks, sovereign money funds, some places can be earned.

The venture capital led by Jason has not been less expensive in Silicon Valley, and several small companies have been listed so far, all of which have cashed out early.

Another newcomer, Zhaojun Li, has already assisted Lenovo in completing the acquisition of the ThinkPad, and the total price of $1.1 billion has entered the review stage. Among them, Milhouse Private Equity paid 500 million US dollars to obtain 30% of the shares of Legend Holdings, and the voting rights were granted to the chairman of the board of directors, Shishi Yanagikawa.

In order to bring the two funds closer together in the future, the US branch of Milhouse will be led by Li Zhaojun in the future, and the London headquarters will be handed over to Abu's asset manager after the establishment of Depp. Any investment will be determined by both parties and then funded, which can also ensure the reliability and safety of the investment project, after all, brothers still have to settle accounts, not to mention two friends with different cultures, who only come together because of interests.
