"Lead the line?"

Li Mu smiled playfully after hearing Steve Johnson's intentions.

After a while, Li Mu said unequivocally: "Sequoia is the world ’s top investment field, but it seems that it does not rank first in the IPO underwriters? If Muye Science and Technology looks for a suitable underwriter, Goldman Sachs, Credit Suisse, Citi Banks, Deutsche Bank and JP Morgan should be the best choice for cooperation. "

Steve · Johnson nodded and said, "I am not here for Sequoia today. In fact, I am talking to you about the lead business today, which represents HSBC."

Li Mu frowned.

"HSBC?" Li Mu asked, puzzled: "How could Mr. Steve have a relationship with a Hong Kong bank?"

Steve · Johnson smiled slightly: "Chief Li, in fact HSBC is a British company, headquartered in London, but it was started in Hong Kong earlier in the year."

"Okay, I'm ignorant." Li Mu nodded lightly, and said: "What is it that motivates you to obtain the IPO lead for Muye Science and Technology in the United States for a British company?"

Steve · Johnson said with a smile: "First of all, I would like to make a statement with Chief Li. I joined although in Sequoia, but I am an Englishman, and now Sequoia is not an American company for a long time. The international company, the capital behind Sequoia is a lot of Old-Money from Britain and the United States. To be honest, Sequoia is now used to invest money, and even the wealth accumulated in the era of British global colonization. "

Li Mu shrugged its shoulders and laughed self-deprecatingly: "So then, in the 3.3 billion USD that you invested in Muye Science and Technology last time, there is a good chance that the Opium War British looted wealth from China."

Steve · Johnso nodded very seriously and said, "This possibility is not ruled out at all."

Finally, he explained: "In fact, the world although is creating a large number of new riches like you, but to be honest, in the huge capital ocean of trillions of USD in the entire capital market, Old-Money The proportion of it may be beyond your imagination. For example, a family like Rockefeller, no one can count how much money they have. "

Li Mu very much agrees with this. The old aristocrats and big capitalists in Europe and America often create not a single enterprise, but a money empire. The so-called money empire is intangible and tangible. It may not be a company in fact. Operate, but directly or indirectly own shares in hundreds of thousands of companies, such assets cannot be statistically complete.

At this time, Steve · Johnso explained again: "The reason why I am here today for HSBC to win the lead of Muye Science and TechnologyIPO is mainly because of the deep cooperation between Sequoia and HSBC. In recent years, the money invested by Sequoia The proportion from the HSBC Group has grown, and HSBC has long been involved in the US market, especially the stock investment market. We hope that the cooperation between Sequoia and HSBC will become closer and closer, and that the cooperation between Sequoia, HSBC and Muye Science and Technology The closer we are, if the three parties can achieve in-depth cooperation, then the future common development space must be very huge. "

As he said, Steve · Johnso said, "You are a doer of Chief Li. In the future, you may create more projects and more enterprises, and belong to front-end producers. Sequoia is an investment bank, mainly investment projects. It belongs to the first and middle-term capital operations, and HSBC is mainly engaged in large-scale capital operations, especially banking and securities-related businesses. It is the middle and late capital operations. In this way, three of us can form a supply chain. "

Steve · Johnso has always emphasized the qualification of "leading bank" because he knows clearly that with the size of Muye Science and Technology, in the future, the scale of the IPO fundraising of 20 billion USD, no investment bank can eat it by himself, so he What I want is this "leading line". It's like the concept of "leading investment" in investment and financing.

In any stock trading market in the world, new stocks are the object of much attention and are also the type of stocks with the greatest potential for profit. At the beginning of most new stocks, the price will enter a period of rapid growth. If investors can grasp With this opportunity, there is a great chance to make a fortune with the car.

However, the US stock IPO stock offering is a very interesting thing. Unlike domestic stock listings, US stocks basically do not give retail investors the opportunity to hit new stocks.

Domestic stocks are won by winning new stocks. The probability depends on luck. If you hit, there are not many althoughs, but at least you can make a small profit. This is standard egalitarianism;

However, for US stock IPOs, stocks are solely sold by underwriters with great autonomy, that is to say, if a broker obtains a share of IPO stocks, it can basically freely determine most of the stock subscription opportunities to Who will give it to certain institutions, certain stock funds, or certain large clients? These are all decided by themselves, which means that the underwriting rights of high-potential stock IPOs will be owned by the securities firm. A good opportunity to make money is also a good opportunity to maintain large customers.

Especially such as Muye Science and Technology, a highly optimistic company in the world. If it is an IPO, the upside after listing is huge, and it is worth investing as a long-term investment and long-term investment. Whoever gets the Muye Science and TechnologyIPO stock will become an investment. The target that the competitors are chasing, even customers of other brokers, may be able to purchase shares of Muye Science and Technology in order to transfer funds to the account of the actual underwriter.

To put it bluntly, the underwriter is like a ticket agent. The harder the ticket is, the less interested the underwriter is, as if an 18-line singer is going to hold a concert. Of issuers asked underwriters to help sell tickets, even at higher commission rates.

However, if the singer of the show corresponding to the show ticket is Jay Chou or Zhang Xueyou, it must be that the major underwriters seek the show issuer and hope to help them sell tickets, even if the commission ratio is lower;

If Jay Chou is planning to open 100 concerts worldwide in a year, corresponding to 2 million tickets, if a ticketing platform can win the majority of the ticket source, then their platform data, brand promotion, and user promotion will be It plays a big pulling role.

It is no exaggeration to say that Muye Science and Technology can no longer be compared with concert tickets. It should be compared with train tickets during the Spring Festival of the railway department.

Whoever gets the qualification of Muye Science and TechnologyIPO as the lead bank, whoever is equivalent to getting the right to sell more than half of the train tickets during the Spring Festival, and the train fare will be fully market-oriented, as long as it can be sold, it does not matter how high it is. , This is almost awesome exploded.

Because of this, Li Mu did n’t worry about the underwriters at all. He even wanted to use the underwriter qualification as an extra bargaining chip in exchange for greater benefits.

So for such a big thing, it is impossible for Li Mu to say anything to Steve · Johnson on the spot, so he said to Steve · Johnson: "Steve, to be honest, I only understand business, not capital, and our capital operations have special The team is in charge, the IPO also has a dedicated team in charge, when IPO, how to IPO, with whom, how to price, when to roadshow, when to ring the bell, these are not things I will worry about, if Sequoia want to talk to us Cooperation, then I can let the team talk to you first. "

Steve · Johnson knows Li Mu's style of doing things. Li Mu although said that regardless of these things, in fact, the major development strategy of Muye Science and Technology is almost all set by Li Mu. When and how to IPO these issues must be Li Mu. Forget it.

So he did not break it, but said with a laugh said: "Since that is the case, then we can establish a close communication mechanism. If Muye Science and Technology is going to be listed, HSBC can provide you with more favorable cooperation conditions."

Li Mu nodded and smiled: "There is no problem at this point, deep communication is established, everyone will keep in close contact in the future, whether there is interoperability."

Steve · Johnso then said: "Yes, Chief Li, there is a relatively high-end party in London a few days ago, and the participants are basically the old-Money typical of Europe and America, some heavyweights behind HSBC, Sequoia Will also attend, in addition, there will be some royals to the scene. I do n’t know if you are interested? "

As soon as I heard that I was going to a party in London, Li Mu subconsciously wanted to refuse and tossed thousands of miles to the party. It was an unreasonable thing for a person like him whose time is life.

But when I thought about it, Li Mu immediately realized a problem. As a newcomer in the capital circle, I have never set up my own social circle in the capital field. In other words, although is already a high-class person, but Have not integrated into the circle of high society.

At the world level, the real upper-class society should be divided into three levels, the first level is those well-known high-ranking monopoly, and then one level is the politicians and political families of various countries, the third level is the world Those well-known celebrities who are deeply entrenched for tens of centuries, not only have money, but also political resources, and even possess the universal ability to control the political pattern.

And now, at best, I have only reached the first level, and the expansion range in the first level is not large. I want to rise to the second level, even the third level, not only need strength, but also need Opportunity.

However, the party that Steve Johnso said at the moment seems to be a party belonging to the third level. For himself, this is a good opportunity to expand the social circle in multiple dimensions.

Thinking for a moment, Li Mu has made up his mind and took the time to meet at this party. He just wanted to say yes. Steve · Johnso saw that he had n’t spoken, and took the initiative to remind him: "Yes, Chief Li, I just invited Miss Anne Hathaway, she has agreed to participate, if you can spare time in your busy schedule, you can also invite her as your companion. "

Li Mu didn't expectSteve · Johnso has invited Anne Hathaway, but his focus is not on her, so he asked Steve · Johnso: "What time is it?"

"The second half of the next month, the specific time will be determined in a few days."

Li Mu nodded and said happily: "Okay, I will participate."
