Chapter 463: Endless Trouble
The meeting lasted until five o'clock in the afternoon, during which time Lu Liang contacted Crook, the German-American business representative, and asked him to send a few people over.

Similar to Panda’s listing on the NASDAQ, listing on the NYSE also requires at least three market makers to issue shares, but it is also different from Panda as Didi’s scale is too large.

At that time, Panda's valuation was 38 billion US dollars, and the initial issue price was only 1.98 US dollars, so it could only enter the tertiary capital market.

But Didi is different. It is valued at US$500 billion. If it passes the listing review, it should be valued at a premium of about 10%.

The issue price will also be higher than five US dollars, and it will directly enter the global selected market and come into the sight of investors from various countries.

Lu Liang is not familiar with this aspect.

So we plan to find professionals to come here. If we can pass the review from the Americans, Demei will be the number one market maker.

When Panda went public, the three market makers earned tens of millions of US dollars by issuing stocks. When Didi goes public, if it can become the first market maker and contract more issuance rights, it will earn even more.

In order for the subsequent cooperation to proceed smoothly, they had no reason to refuse.

"Jiawei, if you don't understand something, please ask Director Huang and Manager Wang."

The meeting was over and Lu Liang was about to leave. He left Xu Jiawei here again. Cheng Wei said, "If you encounter any problems that you can't solve, you can also contact me."

Lu Liang bowed slightly to Xu Jiawei. At this moment, Zhu Hu came over and said, "Mr. Lu, I'm afraid we can't have dinner together tonight. I just heard that Su Shimin and Flannery arrived early and went to visit Huaqing University."

Although he was not among the twelve invited guests, Blackstone Group is an investor in Jinshajiang, holding a 12.5% ​​stake.

The American representative at the symposium, Stephen Schwarzman, is the co-founder, global chairman and CEO of Blackstone Group.

He is also the financial backer of GSR Ventures. He will go over to say hello and probably act as a tour guide.

At this time, Shen Peng walked to the door and answered the phone, then came back and said, "Boss Zhu, let's go together."

Not only Jinshajiang, not only Sequoia, and even not only VC institutions, all domestic companies with a certain reputation have received investment from Blackstone, BlackRock, or Vanguard.

The three companies manage assets worth more than US$20 trillion, and their direct or indirect assets are spread all over the world.

However, due to the backing of the University of Tokyo and the country's absolute sovereignty, the three groups' invasion of the University of Tokyo was not as severe as that of Japan and South Korea.

Whether it is Shen Peng or Zhu Hu, they are both co-founders and executive partners with great autonomy.

Lu Liang nodded, but didn't go with them.

They were going to pay a visit, but he didn't need that. Besides, he would meet Su Shiyi sooner or later, so there was no rush.

Several people left one after another, and Liu Qing also received news that the American representatives had arrived early and were going to visit Tsinghua University.

She looked thoughtful, with strange emotions rising in her heart.

If capital is classified into levels, Goldman Sachs can only be ranked in the second tier, probably not even in the top tier.

Blackstone, BlackRock and Vanguard are the three giants that deserve to be in the first tier.

The relationship among the three companies is complicated. It is not competition, but rather a situation where you are in me and I am in you.

The first and second largest shareholders of Blackstone Group are BlackRock and Vanguard respectively.

BlackRock's predecessor was an investment department under the Blackstone Group, but it later became independent, and the Blackstone Group still holds a certain stake.

The founder of Vanguard is John Bogle, the father of index funds and Buffett's idol. Its predecessor was called Wellington Fund.

The Wellington Fund was split in the 1920s into Vanguard and Lehman Brothers.

The founder of Blackstone Group, Stephen Schwarzman, left Lehman Brothers and founded Blackstone Group.

It can be said that the three giants are of the same clan and origin. If we compare them to people, then the relationship between the three families is definitely within the five generations.

If Didi could get the support of one of them, the situation would probably be completely reversed, and the Liu family would regain its former glory under her leadership.

Liu Qing's mind suddenly became active, and she decisively set off for Huaqing University, trying to create an opportunity for a chance encounter.

At night, Lu Liang arrived at Phoenix City at Sanyuan Bridge.

Zhang Tian'ai just landed in Beijing in the afternoon. After a day's rest, she will leave for Hengdian to join the filming tomorrow.

"Look, this is a photo of us in Australia. Sister Mi is very nice and not arrogant at all."

Zhang Tian loves to do this and never gets tired of sharing with Lu Liang the interesting stories that happened during the recording of the program.

She has accepted filming for two TV series and will be joining the crew tomorrow. She will not be able to meet Lu Liang for at least three months.

"It's quite beautiful."

Lu Liang frowned and looked absent-minded.

Because Zhu Hu had just sent him a message that Liu Qing had gone uninvited to attend the dinner to welcome Su Shimin, and the two seemed to be having a good chat. Not surprisingly, he probably felt that Goldman Sachs was not strong enough, and was planning to use this opportunity to see if he could get Blackstone to join, or join the Squid Clan.

Zhu Hu also said that he mentioned him when talking to Flannery and was curious why he didn't come. He said he planned to visit Sioux City in a few days.

Lu Liang glanced at it but didn't reply, pretending to be busy.

Now that Liu Qing has gone, it would be inappropriate for him to go too, as he would easily be copying others and lowering his own status.

"Headache~" Lu Liang sighed. He could only hope that Bitcoin would give him enough surprises.

Liu Qing is indeed a trouble. She never stops making trouble. My desire to get rid of her is unprecedentedly high.

Because for an old guy like Su Shiyi who has been immersed in the market for decades, he cannot be made to notice any profitability.

Otherwise, even if he did not accept Liu Qing's invitation, other ideas would come to his mind, such as interfering or collecting some protection money.

It’s like a business that can make money. The businessman doesn’t know about it at first, but suddenly someone tells him about it, and he will wonder if he can get involved.

The more people Liu Qing asks for help now, the more uncertainties there will be in the future, and the greater the resistance Lu Liang may face.

"Headache? Then I'll rub it for you."

Hearing this, Zhang Tianai hurriedly came behind Lu Liang and stretched out her slender jade fingers to massage his temples. She smiled and said, "I am very professional. I was recording a program in South Africa last week. When I had no funds, I worked part-time as a massage girl."

Lu Liang's head suddenly tilted back, just falling between the twin peaks, and asked with a smile: "Is this massage girl decent?"

"I may be serious with others, but I'm definitely not serious with you."

Zhang Tianai held Lu Liang's head and rubbed his body against his.

Suddenly, a faint fragrance rushed into his nose. Lu Liang laughed and patted the back of Zhang Tianai's hand: "Okay, stop playing."

Yang Mi was a bit rough last night, so the CD was a bit long. Now I just want to hug her, kiss her, and sleep in the same bed but not have sex.

"Okay~"

Zhang Tianai sat obediently on Lu Liang's lap. Lu Liang asked, "What play did you take? Do you need any investment?"

"One is Story of Yanxi Palace by Yu Zheng, and the other is Peace Hotel by Li Jun. They should have no shortage of funds, and I was paid quite a lot."

Zhang Tian loves to smile. The former is only the second female lead, while the latter is the female lead. The total number of episodes of the two TV series exceeds 110, and the total pay is 1840 million.

It will take about three or four months to shoot the two dramas, and I may only have a few days off during the Spring Festival, but I will probably have to participate in some activities during the break.

Zhang Chen has always wanted to repair the relationship between Mahua and Lu Liang, so in return for his kindness, he not only let her go solo, but also helped her set up a studio. The role of the Peace Hotel was also secured for her by Zhang Chen.

"He gave it to you, so just keep it. Besides, it seems our company also has an investment."

Lu Liang burst out laughing. Recently, he had also received a lot of news about the future of film and television.

For example, there are upcoming hit projects such as In the Name of People, Ne Zha, and Peace Hotel starring Zhang Tianai.

But he really didn't have time, so he just mentioned it to Tang Caidie when he thought of it. If he could invest, then invest. If he couldn't, then forget it. The top priority was still Didi.

The company has been in operation for more than two years, and many projects no longer require Lu Liang to do them personally.

Whenever he remembered it, he would mention it.

If he couldn't remember and accidentally missed it, Tang Caidie might have already invested for him in advance.

After all, a person's reputation is like the shadow of a tree. Whenever some film and television projects are short of money, they will be found.

Tang Caidie and the more than one hundred people in the company are not just there to do the work. They can always find a few popular items even if they are looking for a needle in a haystack.

As long as the big projects that Lu Liang is responsible for don’t go wrong, the failure of investments in small projects is actually not important.

"Wow~ So, I brought money into the group?" Zhang Tian'ai smiled and squinted her eyes, suddenly feeling very confident.

Lu Liang laughed dumbly: "When did you not bring money into the group? Crown Princess? Richest man?"

Zhang Tianai pouted: "Isn't it because of my ability at all?"

Lu Liang thought for a moment and nodded, then said with a smile: "You slept with me with your strength."

“It seems that’s possible.”

Zhang Tianai missed it very much, after all, she couldn't meet Lu Liang for at least the next three months.

She used her strength to forcibly end Lu Liang's CD time.
