Chapter 1221 Picking Peaches

As for Apple, Song Yang is going to take a long time to catch big fish and reap the benefits of the fisherman. He is not prepared to intervene in Apple's internal affairs. Apple with Jobs is much better than other people's management. Song Yang is only going to pick the peaches at the end. enough!
The Bruno private jet that took off from San Jose flew straight into the sky towards New York. Song Yang's trip to New York this time was mainly for two things. The first thing was to deal with the world's two largest luxury goods giants, LVMH As the major shareholder of RICK's IPO, Song Yang naturally had to attend.

The second thing is the annual nomination for the Nobel Prize. The graphene developed by researchers under Bell Labs is likely to be nominated for the Nobel Prize in Physics!

Bell Labs is a vital existence for Song Yang, including ICQ, PA Semiconductor, Alcatel Mobile, Fortinet, Siebel Automotive, Apollo Space Exploration Company and many other companies, all of which have benefited a lot from Bell Labs. Shallow, in addition to obtaining a large number of technologies and patents from Bell Labs, Bell Labs has also contributed a large number of technical experts and talents to these companies.

Bell Labs on Song Yang's side is more like a symbol of Song Yang's investment in the technology industry. With its status in the global technology industry and Song Yang's investment in Bell Labs, it has continuously attracted people from all over the world. If the top talents join Bell Labs, if they can win the Nobel Prize in Physics, it will be another global publicity for Bell Labs, which will once again improve its Bigger and attract With more talents joining, the companies in Song Yang's hands will also be able to recruit a large number of talents!

In addition to Bell Labs and RICK's affairs, Song Yang came to New York, there was another matter, even more important than the first two.

"RICK raised $46 billion?!"

"The scale of this financing is really too big!"

"That's impossible, Eric, we all know how expensive the luxury industry is!"

Inside a skyscraper in New York, which is one of the landmark buildings in New York, is now acquired by RICK Group and has become the global headquarters of RICK Group.

The reason why this skyscraper was able to be bought is inseparable from the previous Twin Towers incident. After the Twin Towers incident, not only the American stock market plummeted, but the entire real estate industry in New York also suffered heavy losses. People and powerful figures were afraid of another Twin Towers incident in New York, so they ran away one after another.

However, this is an opportunity for rising star companies like RICK, who took the opportunity to acquire this building at a low price, and now after the panic, the land price in New York has started to rise again, RICK does not have to do anything, sell this headquarters building , can make a net profit of hundreds of millions of dollars.

At this moment, the top floor of the RICK Group overlooks the entire New York meeting room. RICK's president Eric and a group of RICK executives are sitting, and sitting opposite Eric and others are representatives of various institutions on Wall Street. , People from large institutions such as Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, Morgan, and Citigroup were all present.

After all, RICK Group was listed at a valuation of US$919 billion this time. Just one Wall Street institution can underwrite more than RICK's stock. The scale is really too big.

RICK's listing is a certainty. Even if Eric doesn't want RICK to be listed, he can't help it. The investors and bank creditors behind RICK are urging RICK to go public. I can hardly bear the hole anymore.

Today, in the conference room of this headquarters building, what is being discussed is the last difficulty before RICK goes public, which is the financing scale. The RICK board of directors headed by Eric wants to use the price of $115 per share. 4000 million shares of stock, with a total value of more than 46 billion US dollars in sky-high financing!
But those Wall Street institutions are not the ones who are willing to suffer losses. No one knows how much RICK's valuation is. After all, they are the ones who made RICK's valuation.

The IPO raised 46 billion US dollars. This is not an appropriate way to cut leeks. It is still the kind of Wall Street institutions that treat them as leeks. After all, they are needed to subscribe and underwrite this sky-high price of stocks. They are the ones who can't sell them all!

When RICK was on the market, whether the stock price can hold up, whether it can maintain the market value of 919 billion dollars, only the devil knows, Wall Street institutions want to cut leeks, and they don't want to be cut as leeks!
After the listing, RICK’s stock price has risen, so everyone is happy, everyone cut leeks together, but if it falls, you must know that most of the subscribed shares of RICK are Wall Street institutions, American state pension funds, and overseas consortiums. There are not many people who can actually buy it. In other words, only a small number of leeks can buy the 46 billion dollars worth of RICK stocks. After all, these stocks can be sold directly after listing. How can Wall Street institutions be so cheap? Leeks!
Wall Street institutions don't want their RICK stock to be smashed in their hands, so naturally they don't want to take over RICK stock at sky-high prices.

Eric didn't care about the opposition, and said confidently, "RICK is definitely worth such a valuation. I believe this financing is nothing to RICK, even if it is doubled, There are definitely investors who are willing to subscribe for RICK's stock, and...

This financing plan has been supported by Director Bruno Song! "

For the first half of Eric's words, the representatives of the Wall Street institutions didn't care at all.

"Director Bruno has come to New York?!" Anshu Jain, who came on behalf of Deutsche Bank, asked after hearing Eric mentioning Song Yang. looked towards Eric.

A few years later, Anshu Jain, who was a die-hard fan of Edison, has now become the vice president of Deutsche Bank Investment Bank and one of the big names on Wall Street, and he is more radical than Edison. Now it is gradually taking over the derivatives trading business of Deutsche Bank Investment Bank, including various futures, gold, bond issuance, junk bonds, etc. This business is becoming the most profitable business of Deutsche Bank Investment Bank, and it has also made Deutsche Bank a global derivatives trading One of the four giants in China, and may even become the world's number one derivatives trading giant!

Anshu Jain and his group of representatives of Wall Street institutions can ignore Eric, but facing that man, let alone them, even the presidents of the major Wall Street institutions behind them dare not Anything that underestimates Song Yang.

Eric unconsciously glanced at the seat on his left, where the vice president of RICK was supposed to be sitting, but now it was vacant, and at this important juncture of RICK, the vice president is now During the "holiday", and it has been on vacation for several months, but a group of RICK board members and insiders, including Eric, did not have any opinions, and even prayed that the "holiday" can pass Just be happy, anyone who dares to ruin that vacation, they will all suffer, and Eric is no exception.

Eric laughed, and did not directly answer Anshu Jain's words. After thinking about it, he felt that Song Yang should be arriving in New York at this moment. He felt that with Song Yang's character, he would definitely not miss this important moment, even if Not for RICK listings and Nobel Prize winners or anything.

"If necessary, you can meet Director Bruno at the next meeting!" Eric said to representatives of Wall Street institutions.

Anshu Jain and the others looked at each other, and then they all packed up their things and prepared to leave first. If Song Yang agreed to RICK's sky-high financing, then they would not be able to stop them. What they say has a completely different effect. They can question Eric's words, but if it is Song Yang, Wall Street institutions have to consider whether the RICK Group is real, and some have made money!

A large bulletproof nanny car, escorted by a security vehicle, slowly drove into a top private hospital in Los Angeles, and then Elsa Benitez, wearing a pair of sunglasses and with a big belly, walked into a With the help of an assistant, he got out of the car, followed by several personal bodyguards.

For Elsa Benitez's arrival, the private hospital had already made preparations. The director of the private hospital was already waiting there with the attending doctor and medical staff.

"President Elsa, please check here. If everything is normal, the due date is this week. I hope you can stay here in the hospital!"

When Elsa Benitez was brought into the medical room through the VIP channel, the director of the hospital said to Elsa Benitez that the largest shareholder of this hospital had changed a few years ago. It became the Bruno Family Foundation and is now an industry under the Bruno Family Foundation.

Elsa Benitez, who was wearing sunglasses, took off her glasses and nodded slowly. Although she was pregnant and her belly was a lot bigger, she still had a modeling foundation for so many years, and her figure didn't lose much shape .

Before entering the medical examination room, Elsa glanced out the window and paused slightly. She didn't know whether that person would come within this week or not. She was somewhat looking forward to it, but she still walked in.

After a checkup, Elsa Benitez was admitted to the waiting room of this hospital. As the waiting room of a top private hospital, the whole room is not too much compared to the facilities of a star hotel, except for the master bedroom. In addition, there is a living room, a room for the accompanying child to rest, etc. The facilities and environment are top-notch, and the best midwifery doctor is on duty around the clock. If you want to talk about the only shortcoming, then... it is probably quite expensive. , the average starlet probably cannot afford the sky-high fees here.

When Elsa Benitez was a supermodel, several followers around her still follow Elsa now, but they have changed from followers to Elsa Li's assistant, as the vice president of RICK Group , with a few assistants by my side, that's nothing more than normal.

While several assistants were busy packing things for Elsa Benitez, the door of the waiting room was pushed open, and a middle-aged Latino woman covered in jewels ran in panting, "Elsa! "

The woman came in, first took a look at the environment of the waiting room, then put down the valuable handbag in her hand, and said to Elsa with a little complaint, "You should return to Mexico, the Benitez family, They are all waiting for you over there, that guy will not come to see you, and he will not even admit the identity of this child..."

"mader!"

Elsa Benitez stroked her belly, and the little guy in her belly began to be dishonest again, and said helplessly to the middle-aged woman in front of her, her mother Edna.

Edna looked at her daughter's expression, sighed, and stopped muttering. Although she complained a bit, Edna and the entire Benitez family could not deny that Elsa had been a part of the Benitez family for these years. bring everything.

Originally, the Benitez family could only be regarded as an ordinary family in Mexico, but when Elsa became a Victoria's Secret supermodel, everything in the Benitez family began to change.

The current Benitez family does not dare to say that it has become a famous family in Mexico, but it is definitely among the high society in Mexico, especially Elsa has become the vice president of RICK, and the Benitez family has become a member of the RICK Group in Mexico. The product agent in the city also established several companies. After becoming RICK's raw material supplier, the wealth of the Benitez family began to rise in a whirlwind.

Although she is complaining, Edna is not complaining about Elsa. Why has the Benitez family's wealth increased so fast over the years? Even powerful figures in Mexico are vying to make friends with the Benitez family Well, not just because of Elsa.

After all, even if Elsa used to be a Victoria's Secret supermodel, her popularity is very high, but it is not enough for the powerful figures in Mexico to befriend the Benitez family.

The reason why those powerful people in Mexico are like this is mostly because of the rumored supporter behind Elsa. Edna hopes that Elsa can get a title, especially the child in her belly, who can have Bruno The surname is not only for Elsa, but also for the entire Benitez family!
At this moment, the door of the waiting room was pushed open again, and Edna saw a large group of private hospital personnel walking in, led by several board members of the private hospital, and began to greet Elsa with greetings.

Seeing this scene, Elsa was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted, and couldn't help but look behind the crowd.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, another large group of hospital staff entered Elsa's waiting room, staying there for various reasons, as if they were waiting for someone to arrive.

After a while, Edna also felt that something was wrong. She heard a lot of movement downstairs in the hospital. A large caravan marched into the hospital, and then several security personnel with headsets went to the waiting room first. After some inspections, he stood guard at the door of the waiting room.

The door of the waiting room was pushed open this time, and Elsa saw a familiar face coming in accompanied by everyone. Several directors of the private hospital immediately called out, "Director Bruno!"
