Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 332 Have you heard of Taco Bell?
"Fuck, why is this Peter Lynch crazy?!"

The continuous busy tone wiped out Carter's last trace of patience.

It's just that as the phone was hung up, Carter's doubts became more and more serious!
From Julian quietly reminding himself to contact Peter Lynch, to Peter Lynch's reaction as if he was so stressed, if Carter doesn't know that there is a problem, then there will be a ghost!

But the problem, where is it?

This feeling of powerlessness that everyone seemed to know why, but only he didn't, made Carter feel very irritable.Even judging from Peter Lynch's attitude, it seems that the other party's overreaction is not a bad thing.but
Anyway, we are also in business, but the information is poor
You know, what is business playing?Playing is information asymmetry!The more information asymmetric the business is, the bigger the profit will be!
But, the self-esteem of the time-traversing people suffered [-] points of critical damage!
"What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Due to the limited space of ht company, Carter didn't do anything special just because of his status as the boss.As the chairman in name but actually a temporary worker, Carter found a job in the office of the PR department.

And if you need a phone call, there are naturally customer service staff around you.Hearing the movement from Carter's side, the customer service ladies on both sides turned their heads one after another.
"It's okay, I'll go out for a while."

Now that Peter Lynch is mobilizing the crowd, Carter also needs to be prepared.Just in which direction should we prepare?

···
···
"You mean that a fund manager from Fidelity Investments is coming to us with a man named Smith, who is most likely from the securities department?"

In the general manager's office of Jinas, Carter told the other party about his doubts.

"That's right, tell me, why are they coming over in such a hurry?"

"You have to ask, when you hear that we are about to enter the A-round, what else can you do if you rush over here, besides messing around?"

"I know, I know, I'm wondering why? Didn't Fidelity send someone over to make contact? You said that he is a fund manager who specializes in the secondary market, and suddenly rushed over"

Carter frowned, feeling extremely strange.

"Our ht was still llc last year, that is to say, we didn't have a public annual financial report at all. They didn't really pay attention to us for a period of time, and spent a lot of effort. If it cost research, they should not know our actual situation. Yes. For example, we are actually not short of funds. For example, after our listing, the stock price is likely to rise rapidly.”

"I thought, if they are aware of this and have studied us, then they are eager to enter the game to understand, but... where did we attract them before?"

"How do I know this?! I advise you not to think about it too much. Aren't they coming right away? Then you just ask him yourself. Didn't you say that Mr. Lynch, the fund manager, is your friend?"

Shrugging his shoulders helplessly but happily, Jinas pushed Carter out the door, who had got into the horns, and at the same time stuffed the car keys in his hand to him:

"Instead of thinking about it here, you might as well make arrangements for the hotel and pick up the airport. As for dinner."

"Let me arrange it. We are all friends. Come over tonight and let's talk at the dinner table."

Swinging the car keys in his hand and calling Norton, Carter left the company early.After arranging the hotel and the private room for dinner, Carter led Norton out of the hotel lobby:

"Let's go, let's buy two cars!"

"Buy a car? Good."

Sitting in the driver's seat, Norton asked puzzledly:

"Boss, why did you suddenly think of buying a car?"

"HT needs to have two luxury cars to support the appearance! Look now, go pick up the guests, drive a Ford. It's a bit cheap!"

Because there were two people on Peter Lynch's side, Carter's two bodyguards could only bring one.Looking at the narrow space in the front passenger seat, Carter overturned his previous insistence.

Even if all executives are not allocated a car, it doesn't matter if the three general manager level people are allocated one.Anyway, Anna will go up soon, so she will do it for the benefit of the cheap sister.
Three executive cars plus one business reception car, four Cadillac DeVille orders were placed at the dealership in one go.It almost didn't make the salesperson excitedly call Dad.
It is a little regretful that the salesman is a man.

It was rare not to spend his own money to be rich, but Carter, who failed to experience the thrill of pretending to be aggressive, embarked on the road to the airport in dismay.
"Mr. Black, please believe in the sincerity of our Fidelity investment! Although we are not as good as Goldman Sachs and Morgan in the securities business, this is a negative factor and a huge positive factor!"

"Because we are not as strong as theirs, we will treat each of our customers more seriously and sincerely! And there will never be a big shop bullying customers, trying to covet our customers by deliberately belittling the value of your HT company Self-interest!"

Eight thirty at night.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the two sides finally talked about business.

The intention of Fidelity's visitors was not as expected by Carter and the others.Just looking at that Smith's flattering attitude, Carter couldn't help casting suspicious eyes on Peter Lynch.
The equity fund under Fidelity sent people to contact HT, but the securities department did not.If the result doesn't come, it's over, once it comes
"Carter, why do you always look at me? Whether you want to cooperate with Fidelity, don't worry about my influence. We are talking about business."

"Hehe, Mr. Lynch, you're in for a living now! Don't mention personal relationships, I'm now your personal major customer of Fidelity Group, right?"

"Forget it, definitely! If you still don't choose to pay dividends this year, then the investment amount of 260 million is enough to rank in the top [-] among Fidelity's individual investors! The entire Fidelity Investment!"

Seeing that Carter seemed to have the idea of ​​building a relationship, Peter Lynch smiled knowingly.Don't worry about me, it's all talk
I really never thought that if he took advantage of his personal friendship, even if he knew that HT was a white horse, he wouldn't be able to follow him, would he?I'm really worried that I will affect the other party. At this time, I can't hide. How can the old god sit at the table.

"Look! Mr. Smith, I have worked closely with you Fidelity Investments for nearly two years. The foundation of trust is very solid! I believe everything you just said!"

Everyone carried the bridal sedan chair, and Carter laughed tacitly.At the same time, it seemed extremely bold, but never mentioned the meaning of giving Fidelity a quota of underwriters. Instead, he smiled and suddenly changed the subject:
"I'm just curious about a question. Is my HT company famous? Why did Mr. Lynch look so surprised during the phone call at noon? Your reaction can easily give me the illusion that I am awesome! In this way, If I'm overestimating the value of HT, then...right?"

"The price is overestimated. You must be unhappy. You think I am greedy. But if you don't give me an answer to this question, I will be a young man in a daze and I am not familiar with the market. If you misunderstand me, you will bully me , that would be ugly! I still cherish the friendship with Fidelity!"

After listening to Carter's words, Peter Lynch and Smith looked at each other.Lynch shook his head with a smile and said:
"Have you ever heard of Taco Bell?"
