Reborn IT Giant

The day after Zheng Yan arrived in New York, he put all the US$10 billion collected by several major families into Yanhuang Investment's fund custody account at JPMorgan Chase.

On July 7, fund traders were still buying oil futures in an orderly manner, and Zheng Yan, together with Leonard, came to the Nasdaq Trading Center in Times Square, New York.

Times Square in New York City is located in Manhattan and is known as the "Crossroads of the World." However, since the Great Depression of the 1930s, the atmosphere of the square has changed. It is filled with various erotic performance venues and countless sex movies played all night long.

Cinemas, as well as shops selling all kinds of cheap tourist souvenirs. It is precisely because of this that New York Times Square was considered a symbol of danger and corruption in New York City from 1996 to 1990.

Unfortunately, when Zheng Yan arrived, New York Times Square was still under this dark history, so he did not see the prosperity of later generations, including colorful neon lights, large movie screens, and all kinds of dynamic music.

Fortunately, these had nothing to do with the purpose of Zheng Yan's trip, so he did not feel disappointed.

Since the bell-ringing ceremony started at half past nine, and Zheng Yan and others arrived at the scene just after nine o'clock, they could only wait at the scene.

"Isn't it just ringing a bell? Why is it so troublesome? If I had known it, I wouldn't have come."

Zheng Yan also bought formal clothes for this ceremony, but he rarely dressed up like this, so he always felt a little uncomfortable and couldn't help but complain to Aso Miyuki.

"Zheng Jun, don't underestimate this ceremony. You have to know that there are thousands of companies listed on NASDAQ today, but there are only a few who have the honor to perform the bell-ringing ceremony."

Although Aso Miyuki knew that Zheng Yan didn't care about these things, she still couldn't help but say that in her opinion, being able to perform the bell-ringing ceremony was a rare honor.

It was definitely impossible to withdraw now, so Zheng Yan began to look at the crowds around him. Although the market had not opened yet, the place was already crowded with people. Reporters from the United States, Britain, Canada and other countries were also prepared.

Fortunately, there is no newspaper with the Chinese logo, which makes Zheng Yan feel at ease a lot.

"The ceremony is about to begin. Quickly check to see if everything that needs to be prepared is ready."

"Reporters from various newspapers have arrived, please quickly arrange for someone to receive them."

"Check if there is anything on site that needs to be cleaned. If so, arrange for someone to deal with it immediately."

“…”

The Nasdaq Stock Market Company also attaches great importance to the bell-ringing ceremony. A middle-aged man keeps issuing orders to ensure that nothing goes wrong during the ceremony.

"Zheng Yan, before the ceremony starts, our reporter friends want to conduct a simple interview with us. Do you want to come with us?"

Just as Zheng Yan was looking around, Leonard came over.

When he was in China and Hong Kong City, Zheng Yan always didn't like to expose himself to flash lights, mainly because he didn't want to be harassed by reporters, and also to protect his privacy. But now he is in the United States, and Zheng Yan knows that in Western countries, if you want to

To gain a foothold in the upper class, dealing with the media is definitely essential, so Leonard's kindness was not rejected.

"Mr. Bosak, do you have any expectations for the company's stock price after it goes public?"

"Mr. Bosak, I heard that Cisco has long been planning to go public. What's the reason for you to postpone it until now?"

"Mr. Bosak, do you think Cisco will become the next Internet miracle after Microsoft?"

“…”

After Leonard and Zheng Yan came to the media reporters, various questions came one after another.

If it were just an ordinary company going public, maybe media reporters wouldn't care much, but today's Internet-related industries, after the success of Microsoft, have attracted countless people's attention. Especially Cisco's routers, which let people see the possibility of computer networking.

Therefore, it attracted much media attention.

"Dear friends from the media, because the bell-ringing ceremony is about to take place, it is difficult for me to answer everyone's questions one by one. Next, I will briefly answer a few questions I just heard."

"First of all, let me talk about the reason for delaying the launch. The reason why we delayed the launch is because we are developing a new generation of routers. Not long ago, this friend of mine, Zheng Yan, provided information for the development of our new generation of routers.

With the idea in mind, new routers are now in production, and their performance has been improved by at least ten times compared to the previous routers."

Before Nader could answer other questions, the reporters present had already turned their attention to Zheng Yan.

"Hello Mr. Zheng, are you an employee of Cisco?"

"Mr. Zheng, are you Chinese? Japanese? Or Korean?"

"Mr. Zheng, do you speak English?"

"Mr. Zheng..."

All kinds of oncoming questions flooded Zheng Yan's ears instantly, making him feel a little overwhelmed.

"Hello everyone, I am Zheng Yan, from China, and I am currently one of the shareholders of Cisco..."

"Dear journalists, I'm very sorry. We need to prepare for the bell-ringing ceremony. If you have any questions, my wife Tina will answer them on your behalf."

Just when Zheng Yan didn't know how to deal with it, Nasdaq staff came over and asked Leonard to prepare for the bell-ringing ceremony. As one of the participants in the bell-ringing ceremony, Zheng Yan also escaped from the siege of reporters.

Freed.

"Zheng Yan, seeing how enthusiastic the reporters at the scene are, my confidence in the company's stock price has increased a lot."

"Leonard, I regret coming to attend this ceremony now. The memory of the scene was too terrifying."

"Oh Zheng Yan, don't you think these reporter friends are very cute? Whether our company's stock price will rise in the future has a lot to do with their publicity."

Perhaps it is due to the difference in philosophy between Easterners and Westerners, but Leonard did not feel uncomfortable at all, and instead made people feel that he enjoyed it.

"Hello Mr. Bosak, the market is about to open, please prepare for the bell ringing ceremony." A Nasdaq staff member said to Leonard.

"Okay, but this ceremony will be conducted by the two of us together. I hope you can arrange it."

Although under normal circumstances, this kind of ceremony is performed by the company's legal persons, there are also cases where many people come together, so the staff member does not pay attention.

Zheng Yan originally thought there was a clock that could be struck, but when he stood at the scene, he discovered that there was no clock at all, only an electronic button.

As time begins to count down “30,29,28…0”

Leonard pressed the button, completing the bell ringing ceremony.
