At night, at the Sunshine Boy Bar, Quentin Tarantino stretched out, packed up the writing books on the table, and prepared to go home.

"Quentin, why did you leave early?"

Tony asked, putting down the tray.

"Alas~Duka is not here, I have no inspiration, and there is no use staying here."

Quentin shrugged his shoulders, picked up his backpack and left the bar.

When he returned to the apartment, he glanced next door and found light coming from the window next door and a woman's laughter coming from the room.

Huh~

Quentin stopped and listened a few times. It was indeed a woman speaking, not the voice on the TV.

"It's so uninteresting."

We agreed to be single together and find a woman after we have a million dollars, but this guy secretly brought a woman back to spend the night. He has no willpower.

Quentin shook his head, returned to his apartment study, and continued writing.

After writing for a while, there was a burst of strange noises and crackling noises coming from the next door.

"Practice punching bag at night?"

After living there for more than half a month, he also knew that Duca had the habit of kicking and hitting sandbags at noon every day, so he tried to avoid this time when writing.

It's just that the movement today was a little different... He listened to the rhythm quietly and suddenly understood.

Pooh!

How shameless!

Quentin curled his lips, blocked his ears with earplugs, and continued writing.

It's a pity that he is an imaginative screenwriter who can conjure up a 90-minute literary movie with just a little sound and vibration.

As a result, his attention was completely unable to focus on the writing notebook. His mind was filled with various small movie scenes, and the plot in his writing was unknowingly distorted.

Alas~

Quentin took a pack of cigarettes, walked to the stairs outside the door, sat down, and smoked quietly.

After smoking a cigarette, he listened attentively, then smoked a second, then a third... It wasn't until the cigarette box was empty and the ground was full of cigarette butts that the apartment next door slowly became quiet.

Dog man and woman!

The next morning, Quentin opened his eyes amidst a burst of crackling noise. Thinking of what happened last night, his face turned dark.

"Duka, are you finished yet?! Are you finished yet?! Are you a human?"

Quentin kicked the wall a few times.

"Hey~ Quentin, what's wrong?"

The window next door opened, and Duka leaned on the window and asked.

"What's the matter? You guys had a fight last night until midnight, and it's here again early in the morning. You're not afraid of urinating blood?"

Quentin rushed to the balcony and shouted.

"Why so early in the morning? It's almost twelve o'clock now. It's time for me to train. This is what we have agreed upon."

"It's twelve o'clock?"

Quentin looked at his watch, 11:42.

"Damn, I got up late again. But are you really kicking the sandbags?"

"certainly!"

Duka waved his fist, which was wrapped with a white cloth to protect his fingers from injury.

"Really? You kept training until midnight last night. I have to say, your bastard's physical fitness is really abnormal."

Quentin said with some envy and jealousy.

"Haha~ I'm a little surprised about this. I seem to be too strong. What should I do?"

Duca spread his hands.

"Fuck! Stop showing off. Where's the girl from last night? Where did you find her?"

Quentin was lying on the balcony railing and asked with a gossipy look on his face.

"I went to work and met at a cocktail party."

"What does he look like? He must be a big fat guy, right?"

Quentin winked and smiled evilly.

"No, she ranked in the top 20 of the 50 most beautiful people in the world selected by People magazine this year."

"Cindy Crawford? Brooke Shields? Who is she?"

"You can guess!"

Duka smiled softly and returned to the room to continue training, bang bang bang~ bang bang bang~

"The rhythm is indeed different, but it's still somewhat similar."

Quentin shook his head.

"Duka, can I become as powerful as you by training like this?"

"I don't know, you can try it!"

Bang bang bang~ bang bang bang~ bang bang bang~

——

I practiced Dukka for more than an hour at noon, but my waist and legs couldn't keep up with the rhythm of my whole body, and I felt a little tired. After lunch and a nap, I felt refreshed.

He didn't have to go to work today, so he called the otaku Quentin and went around the supermarket in the metropolitan area, replenishing a lot of meat, poultry, eggs, milk, fruits and vegetables.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Lauren Tynes called and said that the acquisition of Cisco shares was basically settled and asked him to come over to discuss the matter.

He drove to Lauren's office at Morgan Bank.

"Duka, you're here!"

Lauren put down the information, stood up and said hello.

"How was your talk?"

Duca sat down at his desk.

"Everything goes well. They welcome you to invest in Cisco. In addition, the investment department asked me to ask you if you need to allocate capital. According to your situation, it is no problem to allocate another 6 million."

Lauren poured a cup of tea and said.

Capital allocation is somewhat like loans and leverage. Customers can borrow money from the bank to increase investment. If they make money, they will pay the bank interest. If they lose money, the bank will first ensure that the capital allocation part is not damaged, which has certain risks.

"What's your opinion?"

Duca thought for a while and asked.

Lauren shrugged, "It depends on what you mean. If you are optimistic about Cisco's development, you can increase your investment. If you want to be more stable, you can give up the capital allocation."

Duca touched his chin, "After accepting the capital allocation, can I still get a loan from the bank? I am a little interested in investing in movies and may need a loan in the future."

[A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, Yeguo Reading! It is so easy to use. I rely on this app to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here www. 】

"This aspect depends on the stock's income. If there is no financial crisis, Cisco's stock price does not plummet, and the annual dividend remains normal, it will not only not affect your loan, but also increase your loan limit as the stock price rises.

But if Cisco's stock price drops sharply, the bank will force the capital to be withdrawn to ensure that the funds are not lost. You can borrow an umbrella on a sunny day and close it on a rainy day. You also know that banks are best at this."

Lauren held the teacup and laughed.

Duca smiled and finally decided to accept the funding.

The main reason is that the environment is so good.

Although he doesn't know the specific development status of Cisco and whether it has plummeted, he knows the future development trend of the Internet industry.

At present, the Internet is an emerging industry, and the investment income is not as good as that of industries such as oil and energy. This is one of the reasons why investors are not enthusiastic about Internet stocks. Another reason is that they do not understand the Internet. Many people cannot even use the keyboard, let alone

Don't talk about taking risks in investing.

But in 1992, Bush Sr. proposed the Information Highway Plan, planning to spend US$200-400 billion to build the United States' information infrastructure. This policy added fuel to the development of the world's Internet industry.

In the late 1990s, as people became familiar with computer and other technological products, Internet users increased, and as a large amount of money entered, the Internet industry experienced a blowout development trend.

The environment is good, and Internet companies such as Cisco are like pigs standing in the wind. Duka knows that this pig can fly and will become the highest flying one, so it is worth taking a risk.

"Okay, leave this matter to me."

After confirming the capital allocation, Lauren submitted an application to the Investment Department and received 8 million in capital allocation in just three days.

Duca's leather bag company, Sagittarius Investment Company, also announced its establishment, with a total capital of US$1,600, and the company's account is still linked to Morgan Bank.

In mid-September, Sagittarius Investment and Cisco reached an investment relationship.

Cisco's current market capitalization is US$374 million, and its common stock price is between US$3-4.

After negotiation, Sagittarius invested US$16 million to obtain 4.85 million shares, accounting for approximately 4.2% of the total share capital. The shares were allocated into preferred shares and common shares.

Preferred shares have voting rights and preferential investment dividend rights. They will not be diluted, but they cannot be traded at will. They need to be split into common shares before trading. This part accounts for about 1.8%.

The remaining part is common stock that can be traded at will, which is cheaper than preferred stock and will also be diluted due to subsequent financing.

Although there are only 4.2 shares, in another ten years, the value of these shares will exceed 20 billion US dollars.

He decided to use all dividends in the next ten years to continue to buy Cisco stocks and try to keep his shares in hand from decreasing.

Plant trees for ten years, starting from today.

After receiving the equity documents, he held a small cocktail party at the Hilton Hotel and invited Damon Pierpont, head of Morgan's investment department, Lauren, Gloria, and other team members.

"Duka, congratulations on becoming a shareholder of a listed company."

Director Pierpont smiled while holding a champagne glass.

"Mr. Peel, I want to thank you for your support this time."

"Haha, you're welcome. I have some good news here, Lauren. It's about you. Since Duca has the highest shareholding ratio, the company has decided to arrange for you to join Cisco's board of directors. Congratulations on becoming Cisco's acting director."

Pierpont laughed.

"Is this good news? This is obviously increasing my workload."

Lauren shrugged. Acting directors, like acting shareholders, must act according to the instructions of the directors behind the company. They don't have much power, but they are still considered high-level workers.

"Haha~ Young people should do more."

Pierpont patted him on the shoulder and smiled.

"That makes sense!"

Duka raised his glass and clinked it with the two of them.

"Boss, do you have time? I want to talk to you about real estate."

Gloria came over and patted his arm.

"Have you picked out the house?"

"I have chosen five properties, let's see which one is the best."

Gloria took a stack of photos and handed them to him.

Duka looked around and saw that there were houses with stunning sea views, luxurious celebrity homes, manors with an area of ​​0.86 acres, mountaintop villas, and high-rise apartments in the city center.

"They all look good. I don't know how to choose. How about you choose?"

Duca looked at the photos and said.

"I choose?"

Gloria tilted her head and thought for a moment, "How much money do you still have on your account?"

"More than 800,000 yuan, is it enough?"

"Except for this famous house, there are four left. Which one do you like?"

"This manor is nice and big enough!"

Mainly for sports training, you can also practice marksmanship.

"OK, leave it to me. Boss, just wait and move in."

"Gloria, thank you for your hard work!"

Duka said while holding up his wine glass.

"It's not hard, this is my job and my pleasure."

Gloria said with a narrowed smile.

"Yes, the joys of a pre-consumerist."

Lauren joked next to her.

"So what, consumption is also a kind of investment, a more concrete and practical investment. Take the boss's Rolls-Royce Silver Spur as an example. I dare say that in another ten years, the price will definitely double.

With this property, we can definitely double that.”

Gloria raised her finger and said confidently.

Lauren laughed, "Duka, be careful about this guy, she might make you bankrupt."

"It doesn't matter. Gloria said it right. It's also important to learn how to spend money."

"Haha~Thank you boss for your support!"

Gloria clinked the wine glass with him and rolled her eyes at Lauren again.

Duca and Lauren laughed.
