My Age of Investment

News is time-sensitive. After a period of excitement, Xia Jingxing's tidbits gradually calmed down. The public no longer discussed the matter because their attention had been attracted by other fresher news.

Facebook's listing work continues to be carried out in an orderly manner, and a road show will soon be launched to promote pre-issued stocks to global investment institutions.

After the road show is over, the final countdown to the official listing of the stock has basically entered.

As the CEO of the company, Kristina has been very busy recently due to the company's listing. The uproar from the outside world does not seem to have affected her work efficiency, and she has taken care of everything in an orderly manner.

On this day, after sitting in the office and finishing the work at hand, she grabbed the mobile phone placed on the table, hesitated for a moment, and finally pressed her finger and dialed Xia Jingxing's number. The first thing she said was: "I am pregnant."

During this period, Xia Jingxing worked at Fuxing Industrial's American campus during the day, and slept at Ivanka's place at night. He did not go to the house originally called "Summer Palace" at all.

The property rights of the summer palace were completely transferred to Kristina some time ago, and even the name of the house was changed by Kristina.

Originally, there was a Taishan stone shipped from China when the villa's entrance was being landscaped. The stone was engraved with two ancient Chinese characters for "Summer Palace". Now the old stone has been removed and replaced with a new one. A stone is placed at the door of the villa, with "The

Sur

"Pace" is a row of English fonts, which has the same name as the summer palace built by Peter the Great in Russia, and is exactly the same as the English translation of the Summer Palace in China.

The reason for this is entirely because foreigners are uneducated and are not good at naming gardens. All palaces and gardens used for summer vacation are called "summer palaces".

The summer palace built by Xia Jingxing is still a lot worse than the palaces built by emperors. However, there is no emperor in the United States, and no one will care if it exceeds the regulations. You can call it whatever you like.

The name change of the house was noticed by the media reporters who were squatting at the door of the summer palace some time ago, and they started reporting one after another. Most people said that this was Kristina's attempt to draw a clear line between herself and Darren Xia. Xia Jingxing was serious this time. He was kicked out, his company was gone, his house was gone, and his son was no longer with him. Only Qingzi many years later could compare to this miserable situation.

Xia Jingxing was surprised and happy to hear the news that Kristina was pregnant again. His reaction was not much different from the first time he heard that she was pregnant.

"How long?"

"A month and a few days."

Xia Jingxing calculated with his fingers and found that it was already the end of March. Pushing forward, it was almost mid-February that she was conceived. Those days were the period when the two of them were working hard, so they should have hit the target at that time.

Due to too many chores recently and not visiting Kristina, Xia Jingxing almost forgot about this matter, but he didn't expect a sudden surprise.

With a lot of money and billions, he naturally hopes to have as many children as possible. In this case, the success rate will be higher, and there will always be an heir who is competent enough to start the family business that he has worked hard for.

Of course, it is not impossible to leave the property to professional managers, but that is generally not an option.

"When did you find out you were pregnant?"

"A week ago."

After saying this, Kristina regretted it.

Sure enough, Xia Jingxing said unhappily: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? It took a week before you informed me."

When Kristina was questioned in this way, her temper suddenly rose, and she said in a strange way: "A week ago you and Ivanka were inseparable, and you attended the press conference of Vision Home together. What did you say about building a home together with all the lovers in the world? Love nest...how can I disturb you?"

Xia Jingxing was completely speechless, and at the same time he felt a little guilty. He sneered and said, "It's just a joke, don't take it seriously! Are the reporters still blocking the door of your house? Come with me tonight."

"There's no need to come over. If reporters find out, I don't know what kind of trouble it will cause."

Xia Jingxing frowned and said, "What trouble can it cause? Is there something wrong with me visiting my son?"

"How can anyone come to visit the child at night? And you have to stay overnight."

"What's wrong with staying over? It shows that you are broad-minded and have feelings for your ex-boyfriend."

"Stop talking about your nonsense! What should we do now?"

Christina lowered her head and gently touched her belly with her hand, with a smile on her face, "Looks like I'm going to ring the bell with a big belly!

When the time comes, I hold my waist with one hand and hold Enoch with the other. Am I considered the most independent woman in America? The strongest mother?

When the company goes public, I will spend another $100 million to set up a charity fund to help single mothers in the United States..."

Xia Jingxing listened quietly, with a slightly unnatural expression on his face. It had to be said that Christina's method was very good and would not cause any negative effects on her. On the contrary, people still sang her praises and praised her as an outstanding independent woman.

Similarly, the blame for being an "unfit father" may become heavier and heavier.

Alas, forget it, a little infamy is nothing, being a scumbag is pretty good after all, and no one can use this as a reason to attack me in the future.

After thinking it through, Xia Jingxing said: "Then let's do as you say. When do you plan to disclose the news of pregnancy? You can't wait until you're pregnant, right? In that case, there will definitely be noise in public opinion, and they will think you are not honest enough. "

Kristina said calmly: "I know this, so I plan to make it public tomorrow and tell all walks of life that I will insist on giving birth to this child and raise it independently.

Oh, by the way, please tell Ivanka to keep a low profile and stop pretending to be a real wife all day long. I am the queen, and she is at most a concubine...a concubine is not even considered, it is just a promise. "

Xia Jingxing suddenly became excited. It must be Ivanka's recent high-profile behavior that made Kristina unhappy.

Also, how come Kristina knows so much about China’s harem hierarchy? Has she been watching the popular braid drama in China recently? You can’t watch too much of that drama, or you’ll get poisoned if you watch too much.

"My father called me some time ago."

Upon hearing this, a picture suddenly appeared in Xia Jingxing's mind: Walsh holding a double-barreled shotgun, aiming at his head with a fierce look on his face...

Those rednecks dared to capture the White House, and he didn't dare to bet that there were no bullets in Walsh's gun.

"He...is his old man in good health?"

The corners of Kristina's mouth raised slightly, "He is in good health. He just killed a few wild wolves that broke into the pasture a few days ago. He also said that he would give you a wolf skin after skinning and drying it."

Xia Jingxing coughed twice and said, "If you don't help explain, my dad has misunderstood me."

"How do I explain it? That I just faked a breakup and then planned to give you a baby."

"I'm mainly worried that the old man won't be able to think about it, and he will have accumulated anger in his heart, which will hurt his mind and body."

"Don't worry, he won't cause trouble for you, I will take care of it."

…

Xia Jingxing hung up the phone, let out a long sigh, and grabbed a handful of hair with his hands, finally feeling that his head was a little clearer.

To be able to walk among thousands of flowers without a single leaf touching your body is basically a legend, and only people of the Patriarch level can do it.

He can't do it!

Musk is better than him in this regard, but I don't know if he will be "a loving father and a filial son" in the future.

After thinking about it, Xia Jingxing picked up his phone and checked the time, calculated the time difference, and prepared to make a call back home.

After a while of ringing, the call was dialed. The first thing Xia Jingxing said was: "Mom, I have good news for you. Don't be too happy. Please calm down first."

"What's the matter? Let me tell you, I don't want to touch any of those bullshit things you did."

"It's not a bad thing, it's really good news. You're going to be a grandma again."

Zhang Yuqiong was so angry that she almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, and quickly asked: "Is it that Ivanka? What evil have I done?"

"No, it's Christina who is pregnant with her second child."

The other end of the phone suddenly became quiet, and then asked in a low voice: "What should we do? I can't leave here."

A smile appeared on Xia Jingxing's face. She was worthy of being a biological mother. She said she wouldn't help, but in her heart she still wanted to help herself.

"It's okay. You don't have to worry about Kristina. Just take care of her. How is she doing? Is she still emotionally stable?"

"It's quite stable. I teach her every day and love her as if she were my own daughter.

But I warn you, never bring anyone else into your home. Your mother only has one, and she can’t take care of so many girlfriends.

Have fewer children. When you grow up and you have a headache in the future, I think those wealthy families in Hong Kong will make trouble by dividing their property, and the elderly will not be able to live in peace in their old age. "

Xia Jingxing listened to his mother's nagging with a smile, and after she finished speaking, he replied: "Don't worry, I will take care of these things.

Having more children is actually not a bad thing. In the future, our family may be able to train a few astronauts and become an aerospace family.

Think about it, if our children land on the moon or even Mars in the future, will it count as bringing honor to the Xia family? "

"Just brag. Our country has not yet manned a manned mission to the moon. How can your small company make it happen?"

"Don't be so absolute. I will soon be free to rectify the rocket company. The first rocket will be launched this year. I believe the company will make rapid progress soon."

By the way, we will invite grandpa from his hometown to watch the rocket launch together and let him see if his grandson is promising. "

Xia Jingxing didn't want to show off, but wanted to fulfill his grandfather's long-cherished wish and see his grandson become a pillar of the country.

Tell the old man that having a net worth of 30 billion US dollars is not worth watching a rocket launch up close.

It is definitely impossible to create a neutron bomb, so we can only let the flying monkey play with it.

Grandpa always told him to follow Mr. Qian as an example, and didn’t Mr. Qian happen to be the one who built rockets?

He believed that his grandfather, who had seen a poor and weak country and suffered bullying from foreign countries, would be proud of his achievements today.

After telling his mother a few more words, Xia Jingxing hung up the phone.

He suddenly remembered that he had not taken the initiative to call Li Ying for so long. Every time he received a call from her, he did not complain to himself or compete for favors, as if he had no desires and no demands.

He knew that this was definitely not her true heart, it was just a relatively humble love, and he was carefully maintaining this relationship.

He was also attracted to Li Ying at first, but he was too busy at work later and with the birth of his first child, he gradually calmed down and stopped flirting with women everywhere. However, due to some strange combination of circumstances, he still fell in love Got merit.

Seeing that the women around me are getting pregnant and preparing to become pregnant one after another recently, don't you have to seize the time to have a baby with Li Ying, so that the rain and dew can be wetted equally? At the same time, Li Ying's excellent genes, which she earned three degrees from MIT at the age of 20, will not be wasted. Naturally, the better her heir, the better.

Thinking of this, Xia Jingxing immediately dialed Li Ying's number, planning to chat with her about horse bugs on the phone.

Time gradually came to the beginning of April, and Xia Jingxing's industry once again achieved success. Tesla officially submitted its prospectus to the SEC. This news once again caused a sensation in the United States.

Although Tesla's IPO is not expected to be too large, if it goes public successfully, it will become the first U.S. car company to go public since Ford went public in 1956, ending the 54-year history of no new car companies going public in the U.S. and becoming the world's first A listed pure electric vehicle company.

This means that a new era is coming, and building cars in Silicon Valley is no longer a joke, but truly appears in front of the world with a new attitude.

In response to the news that Tesla is about to go public, American technology media have begun reporting on it, and their enthusiasm is even higher than that of the automotive media.

It can actually be seen from this that the conservative automobile industry still does not think highly of Tesla, and this disdain has also been passed on to the automobile media.

However, because Tesla’s major shareholders are Vision Capital and Daxia Capital, two affiliated companies of Xia Jingxing, it benefited from Xia Jingxing’s favor and gained some exposure.

But compared to the overwhelming reports on Facebook, Tesla, a small ant-like company, is a bit underwhelming.

At this time, no one thinks that Tesla will become a trillion-dollar giant as much as Facebook. At most, it will be regarded as a pretty good rookie car company.

With the support of Xia Jingxing, the fourth richest person in the world, there is no risk of bankruptcy.

The 2010 list of the "Forbes" world's richest people was officially released in New York last month.

Xia Jingxing's net worth has risen again, estimated by Forbes to be 40 billion U.S. dollars. However, his ranking on the rich list has not risen. He is still ranked fourth in the world. The top three are Carlos, Gates, and Buffett, with a net worth of 53.5 billion U.S. dollars. , 53 billion US dollars and 47 billion US dollars, the gap with Xia Jingxing is not too big.

In addition, Xia Jingxing will continue to be the richest man in Asia this year, because India's Mukesh Ambani, ranked fifth in the world and second in Asia with a net worth of US$29 billion, has been completely surpassed by him.

Xia Jingxing's true worth is currently difficult to estimate. Among the core companies worth tens of billions of dollars, there are six such as Envision Capital, Oil Pipeline, Overseas Holdings, Fuxing Industrial, Xinxin Group, and Envision Financial Holdings. All of them have not been listed and will soon be listed. Facebook does not directly hold shares, and its shareholding ratio is completely hidden under the water.

At the same time, the Forbes family is also an old friend of Xia Jingxing. They bought a lot of shares in the S Fund and indirectly held shares in Facebook, so they didn't get to the bottom of it and gave Xia Jingxing an estimate of Xia Jingxing's net worth, which was neither high nor low.

This was also specifically requested by Xia Jingxing. Both Buffett and Gates were highly respected people. It was inappropriate for a young Chinese man to overwhelm two elderly people!

Just show off your prestige in Asia, and stop irritating the fragile nerves of Americans.

Some Americans were already very dissatisfied with him, thinking that he was a Chinese who came to the United States to steal money and women, and that he was a living American parasite. Now if he becomes the world's richest man again, his white skin will explode.

Therefore, there is no need to fight for some false fame. A few more years of humble growth will be better than anything else.

"Haha, Darren, we succeeded! A car company that was looked down upon by everyone broke many records in the United States and turned into a listed company. I don't know how many people were slapped in the face."

At Tesla's small celebration party, Draper put his arm around Xia Jingxing's shoulders in a friendly manner, laughing and clinking glasses with the latter.

If anyone is happiest about Tesla’s listing, besides Xia Jingxing, it is Draper.

At first, because he disliked Facebook's high valuation, he missed the investment opportunity. Afterwards, Draper even regretted it.

Fortunately, he seized new opportunities later and changed his somewhat rigid investment ideas. He has been unswervingly pursuing Tesla investment and even coaxed and coaxed some shares from Eberhard. Currently, Defeng Jie has become Tesla's largest shareholder besides Xia Jingxing and his affiliated institutions. With Facebook's listing, DFJ is bound to make a fortune.

Therefore, Draper is very happy to be friends with Xia Jingxing, who has led Tesla to great success.

Seeing Draper talking to Xia Jingxing with a smile on his face, other small shareholders were afraid of falling behind, so they came over to talk to Xia Jingxing with wine glasses in their hands, praising and praising Xia Jingxing's transformation of Tesla.

"Without Darren, Tesla would not have been on the market so quickly. It is not an exaggeration to say that Darren has made outstanding contributions."

"That's right! I heard Tesla will deliver the first Model next month

S, with such good news going public, Tesla will definitely be able to create a good IPO result. "

"And "Iron Man 2" is about to be released in theaters. Darren drives a Model in the movie.

S appeared, cool and dazzling. With the help of the movie's great sales, Model

The sales of S will definitely soar and become a favorite among young people and the middle class. "

…

A group of people were chatting animatedly when Straubel suddenly walked over with a dark face.

"Gentlemen, please stop discussing the good news for the moment. I may have to inform you of bad news."

As soon as these words came out, the scene quickly became quiet, and everyone looked at each other, wondering what happened.

Straubel took a deep breath, turned his gaze to Xia Jingxing and said, "Someone is deliberately trying to trouble us!"
