The banquet venue was set at the Hilton Hotel, where Zheng Yan and his party were staying. Although Leonard was the protagonist today, when they arrived at the banquet venue, many so-called celebrities had already gathered.

Although Cisco was listed on the first day, the changes in its stock price after the listing have already proved everything. Cisco will be a rising Internet star. The people attending the banquet may not have anything to do with the Internet, but this does not prevent everyone from taking the initiative to communicate.

Good Leonard. As the largest shareholder of Cisco, Leonard is already a standard billionaire, but this is just the beginning.

"Leonard, I regret my original decision. If I had been more courageous, I might have the opportunity to perform the bell-ringing ceremony with you today."

As soon as Zheng Yan and others entered the banquet hall, a middle-aged white man walked over.

"Charlie, welcome to our celebration banquet..."

Although Zheng Yan didn't know him, Leonard was obviously very familiar with him and he greeted him very enthusiastically.

"Zheng Yan, that's Charlie Ellison from Goldman Sachs. When Cisco was preparing for its final round of financing, he approached Leonard, but the conditions he offered were less than half of yours. He was only willing to pay five thousand

Ten thousand US dollars, but he wanted 15% of Cisco’s shares, so Leonard refused directly.”

Bill Miller knew that Zheng Yan had no acquaintances, so he stayed with Zheng Yan and introduced the people attending the banquet to Zheng Yan.

Speaking of Goldman Sachs, it is also a world-famous investment bank with a history of more than 100 years. Compared with Goldman Sachs, Zheng Yan’s Yanhuang Investment is the difference between an ant and an elephant. Fortunately, Zheng Yan is not discouraged. Although Goldman Sachs

The family is big and the business is big, but when it comes to personal assets, even the head of Goldman Sachs may not be able to surpass him.

Just as Bill Miller was introducing the people at the venue to Zheng Yan, Leonard accompanied Charlie Allison.

"Charlie, let me introduce to you. This is our Cisco shareholder Zheng Yan. Don't you want to know the situation of the last financing? Zheng Yan is the investor in the last financing. I think he will help you answer your doubts.

."

"Mr. Zheng, you

Well, I'm Charlie Allison, from Goldman Sachs. If Leonard hadn't been standing here, it would be hard for me to believe that I had lost to a young man. Of course, I didn't mean to look down on you. In fact,

It's because you look too young."

It has to be said that no matter who he faces, the most impressive thing about Zheng Yan is his age. No matter how sophisticated Zheng Yan is, after all, he is only twenty years old, and his immature face will always easily attract others' attention.

"It doesn't matter, Mr. Allison. Speaking of which, age is really my shortcoming at the moment. When negotiating with others, it's always hard to convince others with what I say. I'm used to this."

"Okay, you don't mind. I have a question. Although the financing price I gave was not high, it was relatively reasonable. I asked Leonard just now, but he still refused.

Reveal your original financing situation, and I wonder if you would be willing to answer it for me."

The more successful Cisco becomes, the more it means Charlie Allison's investment has failed. As an investor, although Charlie Allison doesn't mind investment failure, he still wants to figure out where he failed.

Zheng Yan glanced at Leonard and saw that he didn't mind, so he said: "There is nothing to hide about this. I raised US$100 million in exchange for 10% of Cisco's original shares. In addition, I

Yanhuang Investment under the name serves as the stock underwriting agency for Cisco's listing, and it is underwriting."

"Well, it seems that my vision is indeed not as good as yours, and my courage in investment is not as good as yours. I am convinced to lose."

After hearing the answer given by Zheng Yan, Charlie Allison also felt helpless. Although Cisco's success now proves Zheng Yan's investment vision, before it is actually listed, it is only analyzed from the perspective of the market. Zheng Yan

Faced with huge risks.

After all, Charlie Allison works for Goldman Sachs. Although he has a lot of autonomy in his hands, every investment decision he makes must go through strict market review. He cannot just spend money like Zheng Yan.

, simple and crude.

"Okay Charlie, today is our celebration banquet. Let him pass on the topic of financing. Maybe in the future,

There are still opportunities for cooperation between us.”

If you continue to dwell on the topic of financing, you are undoubtedly exposing Charlie Allison's scars. Regardless of whether it can be used in the future, at least there is no need to offend the other party, so Leonard directly pulled Charlie Allison away.

"Zheng Jun, although our Yanhuang Investment has just entered the investment world, you have already successfully defeated your opponents."

After Charlie Allison left with a frustrated face, Aso Miyuki made a joke to Zheng Yan. In her memory, as long as Zheng Yan wants to do something, there has been no failure case so far.

"Okay Miyuki, I have never thought about attacking anyone. Moreover, our Yanhuang investment is not aimed at attacking people. Our purpose is to make money."

Looking at the global investment community, although there are many investment companies, there are countless investment opportunities. Therefore, Zheng Yan has never thought about which company or investor should be regarded as a competitor.

"By the way, Zheng Jun, haven't you always asked me to collect information about investors? Most of the people attending the banquet today are investors from major investment companies. I think you can take the opportunity to get in touch."

Regarding Miyuki Aso's suggestion, Zheng Yan was moved for a moment, but after that moment, she gave up the idea.

"Forget it. We have no plans to develop more business at the moment. It's just that Bill can handle these matters right now. Moreover, our Yanhuang Investment is still a newcomer in the investment world, so no one will be interested.

"

It was Zheng Yan's previous plan to cast a wide net. Now that Bill Miller has joined, Zheng Yan has much higher requirements for investors. Although the investors on site are the backbone of major investment companies, it is also because

For this reason, it is more difficult to poach people, and Zheng Yan doesn't want to be in trouble.

"Hey, isn't this the famous Bill Miller? I haven't heard from you for so long. I didn't expect to meet him here."
