Chapter 430: A Three-Life Blessing
"Xiao Yu, did I blush when I was on stage?"
"The lights are too flashing and I can't see clearly."
"These people from IDG and Deutsche Bank are really good at talking. What's the name of that chief economist?"
"Lavonia."
"That's right, that Lavonia talks so eloquently and quotes from the classics, what kind of data analysis he uses, and what kind of model predictions he makes. If I were one of the institutions in the audience, I really can't tell what his intentions are. It's so stupid."
Yu Hong gave him a deep gaze: "Isn't it all connected by you?"
Fang Zhuo shook his head repeatedly and denied: "I didn't know them before. I just came to support them through the country, and I didn't communicate in private yesterday. How can this be called a series of connections? I can only say that we have a tacit understanding between each other, ah no, It can only be said that they are too familiar with this kind of gameplay.”
President Yike is rarely humble. After last night's road show, one of his people reviewed this simple promotion and came up with an analysis of how several institutions ended up. These presidents readily accepted the invitation, and they were all veteran players and actors.
In the past two years, about 30% of the stocks in the US stock market have fallen below their issuance price upon listing. I don’t know how many of them are passive and how many are active.
But no matter what, Goldman Sachs is almost sitting on the Diaoyutai. Even if there are occasional underwriting mistakes, the overall situation is definitely full of profits.
Yu Hong asked thoughtfully: "What if our listed stock price fluctuates and the market value goes from high to low?"
"What should I do?" Fang Zhuo was confused.
"The response from these institutions was so good. They worked together to raise a high market value, and then someone took over in the secondary market. The expected performance did not meet the standards, and the market value fell..." Yu Hong said with concern.
Fang Zhuo said strangely: "Isn't this market behavior?"
Yu Hong: "..."
"We, a Chinese company, came to New York in an unfamiliar place and followed the laws of market development. What else can we do?" Fang Zhuo asked, "Did we buy and sell by force? Did we falsify data? Did we evade taxes?"
He continued: "Investment institutions recognize our high growth. If we fail to achieve it, it will be a dereliction of our work. This requires reflection by all staff, but the expected high growth is indeed an advantage from an investment perspective."
"As for the market value at the current stage, we are not far behind. The funds raised will be obtained in real terms. Market value is just a number. Furthermore, based on the growth of the general environment in the past few years, the performance of the secondary market will be A rising tide should lift all boats.”
Fang Zhuo looked at the marketing director and asked, "Xiao Yu, what do you think?"
Yu Hong looked at her boss and sighed: "Xiao Yu thinks the boss is very good at it."
"We need to discuss with experts more often and review the results from time to time." Fang Zhuo also sighed, "The capital market here is indeed more naked. The reason why we can play this game is because Yike is really good. There is a long way to go. ”
Yu Hong suddenly remembered a domestic saying: "What you buy is not what you sell."
"Large institutions eat up medium institutions, medium institutions eat small institutions, and small institutions benefit the American people." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "Yike's listing on Nasdaq this time is to take it from the people and use it for the people."
"Will anyone in China buy it?" Yu Hong asked.
Fang Zhuo was not sure, so he thought for a while: "In this situation, if you can spend US dollars to buy U.S. stocks, we don't need to worry about it."
Yu Hong thought about it, and it was the same.
After the New York road show ended, Fang Zhuo had no worries about the next road shows in San Francisco and Los Angeles. The work on the set was like a formality, and as long as they cooperated a little, everything would go smoothly.
At the same time, Goldman Sachs also arranged some interviews with the media, intending to package a charismatic high-tech company president from the East who meets the imagination of the secondary market.
Fang Zhuo was a little dissatisfied with this.
How can it be called packaging?
As long as the true character appears, it will be fine. If that doesn't work, wouldn't it be possible to bring Sony out and have a chat?
Thinking about it this way, Yi Ke is truly lucky to have such a good partner in Sony Music.
I don’t know if President Stringer of Sony America is in New York. Before going to other cities for road shows, it is really necessary to visit the partners to consolidate their friendship.
…
Changhong is going to formally sue the US company APEX!
This is the high-profile rhetoric of Changhong's public relations department in front of the media. The company has hired domestic lawyers and contacted foreign law firms, and will pursue legal means to recover APEX's arrears.
At the same time, in order to deal with this matter and to better open up foreign markets, Changhong will send an inspection team headed by Chairman Ni Runfeng to New York to strive to solve all aspects of the problem as soon as possible.
Encouraged by the news, Changhong's stock price fell.
On December 15, a 20-member delegation from Changhong, led by Ni Runfeng, successfully arrived in New York and completed the first step in solving the problem.
That evening, the Changhong delegation settled down in a hotel in New York. Ni Runfeng decided to contact Mr. Xiao Fang, a nice person, and let him introduce Cadwalader Law Firm.
Ni Runfeng called and expressed his intention.
"Ah? Mr. Ni, are you in New York? What a coincidence. I just arrived in San Francisco. Why didn't you contact me in advance before you came so I could catch you up!"
Ni Runfeng heard Mr. Xiao Fang's enthusiastic voice on the phone and felt that it was unfortunate. Before forming the group, he was so preoccupied with thinking about this trip that he really didn't think of saying hello in advance. Then he happened to encounter someone who was busy going public, so he didn't think carefully about it.
"So, Mr. Ni, you want to find a law firm to sue that dealer, right? I'll give you the phone number of Martin, the lawyer from Cadwalader Law Firm. He's professional enough and has a good relationship with me. You can contact him directly. I'll welcome you back to New York after my roadshow."
Mr. Fang on the phone was very thoughtful.
Ni Runfeng felt a little relieved. Although he had come to the United States for a few months when he stepped down last time, this time was different. The legal procedures he had to go through were being watched by the delegation. With Mr. Fang, who has connections in New York, willing to help, things would be much easier.
He thanked him repeatedly and congratulated Yi Ke on its upcoming listing.
After the call ended, Ni Runfeng sat in his room and organized his words, then called the translator and dialed the number of Martin, the lawyer introduced by Mr. Fang.
The call was connected.
The translator stated the purpose of the visit according to the chairman's original words, and then said that the introducer was Fang Zhuo, the president of Yi Ke.
Ni Runfeng didn't even need a translator, and almost immediately felt the enthusiasm on the other end of the phone.
Sure enough, Mr. Fang and this lawyer do have a good relationship.
"Okay, since it was Mr. Fang who introduced me, I will do my best."
In the office of Cadwalader Law Firm in New York, lawyer Martin sat up straight and waited for the big job he had discussed with Fang Zhuo.
He spoke English enthusiastically for a while and then suddenly switched to fluent Chinese.
"Mr. Ni, we can communicate directly. My grandmother is Chinese and I am a mixed race of six countries. Let's meet first when it is convenient for you."
"Okay, Mr. Martin, let's meet at your law firm at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."
Ni Runfeng was surprised and happy to hear Mandarin.
He set a time and decided to see the law firm with his own eyes. It was not because he was worried, but to let the inspection team know that he was following the formal procedures.
The two parties agreed.
Ni Runfeng asked the translator to leave the room. He thought about the business for a while, and then took out his mobile phone and carefully edited a thank-you text message to Mr. Fang in San Francisco.
Alas, I have had bad luck recently. It is a rare luck to meet Mr. Fang.
