Reborn America, this is my time

Chapter 135 A group of vampires!
"Listed?"

The topic caught Evelyn a little by surprise.

The girl glanced at Ethan, then smiled and said, "Oh, Principal Fred, if my perception is correct, then I don't think our company meets the listing standards, right?"

"Ethan, I remember you told me that if you want to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, you must meet several conditions, and among those standards, how many of us do not meet?"

The girl threw the question to Ethan.

Ethan nodded again and again, saying: "Yeah~"

"Principal Fred, although our company's income has met the requirements of the New York Stock Exchange, our company's registration period is not enough. This is a flaw..."

Although the U.S. stock market talks about wide entry and strict exit, it does not mean that all companies can be listed. It still has certain standards. In this era, if you want to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, you must first meet the company's establishment age of three years. The hard standard of the year, and this one alone, the fate game does not meet.

As for other aspects...

Ethan admitted that, as the old principal said, they are indeed a high-quality company now.

Because the current NYSE’s income requirements for applicant companies are as follows: in the past three years, the cumulative pre-tax income is not less than 1000 million, and in the last two years, the annual income is not less than 200 million.

And the game of fate...

The North American revenue of "Pac-Man" has more than doubled the total standard.

Not to mention the current "Star Wars", the guarantee can be four or five times higher.

"Oh—you two are really—"

How could Evelyn and Ethan's harmony be hidden from Fred Terman?

When the siblings insisted on the excuse that the standards did not meet, Fred Terman already knew what they were thinking.After waving his hand, the old headmaster smiled helplessly.

"Don't you two think I'm here to be a lobbyist for those Wall Street guys?"

"Oh—how do you guys think about this?"

"Whether to go public or not is up to you to decide. I'm just passing on a message to some friends..."

Under the old principal's narration, Ethan and Evelyn finally figured out the ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out that when people across the country were frantically pursuing "Star Wars", the game of fate became the focus of many people's research, and the most fanatical research was the investment banks on Wall Street.

Investment bank, the full name of investment bank, if you want to go back to the source, you have to go back 300 years.

At the end of the War of Independence, the federal government was actually a mess. Because of the war, they were burdened with nearly 3000 million dollars in debt, and the currency in circulation among the people was even more varied.In order to save the fragmented finances, then Treasury Secretary Hamilton had a bold idea, that is, to use the credit of America as a guarantee to issue new national debts to repay various old debts.

If this kind of thing were placed in the 21st century, it would be perfectly normal, because Ethan clearly remembered that before he crossed, America had already increased the debt ceiling eight times, pushing the total debt to 70 Trillions.But 31 years ago, this kind of behavior was simply daring, so in order to ensure the smooth progress of bond issuance, a large number of brokers poured into it, building a financing bridge for the American government and private investors.

And this is actually the original investment bank, or an investment banker.

When the issuance of bonds proceeded steadily, America's economy suddenly became active, and the rapid development speed in turn promoted the vigorous growth of the capital market. When there is demand, the two products of joint-stock companies and public financing (IPO) will really enter the stage of history.

So far, finance has become the real power flowing in the veins of America.Those financiers who started from underwriting bonds, stocks, and various bills and accumulated a lot of wealth and connections have since turned upside down on the stage of world history.The most classic story is that Morgan formed a giant consortium in 1900, which once controlled 60.00% of America's steel production.

However, this gluttonous feast of controlling pricing power came to an abrupt end in three or three years. The "1933 Banking Act" stipulated that investment banks and commercial banks must be split. For this reason, Morgan could only separate its investment department from the bank and set up Morgan Stanley. Then, Goldman Sachs and Lehman also cut off and chose the investment banking business they are most familiar with and best at. , the modern investment bank finally emerged.

"When these investment banks were unable to absorb public deposits as before, equity financing, bond financing, and mergers and acquisitions became their main sources of income..."

Principal Fred Terman said with a smile: "Because when investment banks are doing these things, they will charge a certain commission according to the size of the subject of the transaction. They can get a reward of 200 million yuan."

"As for why they are staring at you..."

"That's like what I just said, you guys have developed so well."

"Your business is so beautiful, so beautiful that they are very excited."

"So...Morgan, Goldman Sachs, First Boston, Lehman, Merrill Lynch..."

"They all came to ask me."

Having said that, Fred Terman turned his attention to Ethan and said: "Although the current game of fate does not meet the listing standards of the NYSE, Nasdaq next door to the NYSE can easily accept you." .Because the standard over there is that the applicant company has a two-year operating history to be able to go public.”

"If I remember correctly, Intel in Santa Clara went public on Nasdaq in 800? They even raised $[-] million without a product."

"Now, if you throw the game of fate..."

Having said that, Fred Terman fell silent.

Although he chose to remain silent, Ethan could also guess the follow-up.

When a little Karami like Intel can raise nearly [-] million in Nasdaq, it is impossible for a company like Destiny Games with a cash reserve of tens of millions to be valued at less than [-] million!
No matter how much you underestimate it, its size cannot be smaller than the apple in Ethan's previous life!
It is commonplace to raise [-] million yuan, and it is not impossible to raise [-] million yuan, and even in this case, those people who come to buy stocks wielding dollar knives can fill the entire Pacific Ocean!
When the trend of chasing the wind appears...

Those Wall Street financiers can easily earn a lot of commissions!
and this……

In fact, it is equivalent to picking up money for nothing!

"So what do you think about this?"

After getting out of the old principal, on the way back, Evelyn leaned on the co-pilot and said, "We are being targeted by Wall Street? Wow - this is really good news!"

Although she had a smile on her cheek, her tone was exaggerated.

If that performance was put in a stage play, it could even win a Tony Award.

Because she interprets the sarcasm vividly.

Ethan didn't answer immediately, but instead asked, "What do you think about this matter?"

Before the words fell, a rude voice burst out——

"Son of a bitch!"

This comment vented Evelyn's inner anger and made Ethan laugh out loud.

That's right!

Ever since Evelyn heard the word listing, she was very upset!

Although she didn't study finance, she wasn't a fool either!

Of course she understands that when they have a lot of cash in their hands, those people on Wall Street come to ask them if they want to go public. It is not to help them raise cash at all, nor to help them expand their reputation. The huge benefits they reaped!
and this……

What is the difference between Mingqian and Mingqian?
"MFxxk!"

The girl patted the handlebar hard, "Ethan, do you know that I was in a good mood when I came here!"

"But when President Terman said that Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Lehman, and Merrill Lynch were all eyeing us, I felt a flame burning in my chest! It made me feel hot all over! My throat was smoking!"

"Aren't these people used to sucking blood?"

"Can you ask us such stupid questions?"

"And Principal Terman!"

"How could he help these people spread the word!"

Evelyn is dying of rage!

It hasn't been long since "Star Wars" exploded in North America, and these moths have gathered around like maggots that smelled fishy?This Nima is really disgusting!

And her rage made Ethan glance at the center rearview mirror.

After finding out that the girl had no other aggressive behavior other than cursing and patting, he also slowed down the car and said, "Oh~ my dear sister~"

"When something like this happens, we should be happy."

"What? Happy? Are you out of your mind?" Evelyn immediately turned her head, her eyes staring like bells.

Ethan chuckled and shook his head, and said, "Of course my brain is not broken."

"The reason I say this is because our success has been recognized by a group of top interest groups in North America. When Wall Street starts to pay attention to us and take the initiative to contact us, it proves that we have harvested even those 'elites' All greedy interests."

"Shouldn't we be happy when something like this happens?"

Ethan's words made Evelyn roll her eyes.

The girl ignored him.

Because neither of them said the same thing.

What she said was obviously that the greedy eyes of the elites made people sick.

But what Ethan expressed was that the attention of the elites was a kind of approval.

The bull's head is wrong with the horse's mouth!

Ethan didn't care about these details, and continued: "Although the matter is disgusting, I don't think you need to be so angry, because it's not their decision to go public or not, but our own decision."

"As long as we don't want to go public, no one can force us."

"As for Principal Terman..."

"I think he has good intentions."

"He is reminding us to be careful in doing things in the future, because people who are targeting us may not only be our current opponents, but also some greedy maggots..."

Yes, Ethan also felt that the inquiries from those on Wall Street were a bit disgusting at first.

Or in other words, he knew that he worked in finance in his previous life. These guys coaxing him to go public is only the first step. Next, they can also grab benefits through a series of methods such as public shareholding, short selling by public opinion, and bullish advantage.

And those back tricks are the real source of profits for financial capitalists.

But after Ethan went through the whole thing, he found that those wolves on Wall Street could not threaten them for the time being, because the matter of whether to go public or not was completely free.

Like Koch Industries, Mars Group, Cargill, Bose...

These are world-renowned non-listed companies.

When they can live well without external funds, no matter how strong Wall Street is, it can't threaten them.

So, Wall Street wants to ask if they want to go public?
Then let them ask!
Are they hungry?

Then make them hungry!
As long as they are not listed themselves, they are invincible!

As for what others think?

What does that have to do with them?
However, even so, Ethan murmured in his heart——

'Special code! '

'This group of beasts that don't create value are really a group of vampires! '
