Chapter 819 Meeting Miranda by Chance
Sandy didn't feel ashamed at all when he talked about his history of drug smoking, but was deeply proud. Looking at his beaming face, he didn't know what great things he had done.
Yang Cheng looked at the fat man with greasy face silently on the periphery of the crowd, secretly wondering if this guy was John Bogle's illegitimate son, otherwise why would he let him use Bogle's name to make trouble outside.
"I spend five or six nights a week with it because I find that if I smoke a little less, I might not be shaking, sweating or bleeding the next day, but but can't work.
There was a time when I tried to smoke cocaine only three days a week.
But this makes me look sick. I understand that if I keep doing this, I will make mistakes sooner or later. I am afraid that I will suffer a big fall because of this. I also understand that as long as I show up in the office with this state, You will be kicked out immediately.
I remember wandering around the office building wondering what to do.
I told myself that if I got robbed, then surely I wouldn't have to work.
So I ran for a few blocks, wobbled into a puddle until my pants were ripped and my hands and knees were bleeding, and I limped into the office soaking wet, poor Xi Xi told the boss that I was robbed, obviously at that time I could no longer think rationally and began to take it for granted.
Then, needless to say, after 72 hours, I was fired, forced into rehab, and started my first detoxification career.
After I came out, I was normal for about a year, then I relapsed and went back to rehab.
After recovering again, I received another Wall Street interview with a seven-figure annual salary, but I felt that since I was a freshman, I should not repeat my past job, so I left halfway through the interview, with the encouragement of my uncle Founded today's Sandy Fund, in just a few years, the assets under management have grown from a few million to the current 1.2 billion US dollars, and the annual revenue has exceeded 500 million US dollars. Believe me, I can't hand over such a beautiful report card anyway.
I don't know if I regret these experiences.
But I really hope that if only I didn't hurt some people, especially my family.
But I understand that if I hadn't been through all of this, I wouldn't be who I am today, with a house on Long Island, tons of fancy cars, a sailing yacht, and of course, the money I have now I am bearish, now my biggest wish is to help more people manage their assets well, to continue people's happy life, and never let everyone down in me. "
A sincere speech made the atmosphere full of warmth. When Sandy finally raised the champagne glass, the atmosphere reached GC.
However, Yang Cheng saw the same meaning in David Ellison's eyes. This guy was definitely John Bogle's illegitimate son, but he was raised outside and couldn't make it public, so they always referred to him as uncle and nephew.
Otherwise, why would he be able to enter Lehman as an intern and become a regular at such a young age? How can someone with a serious history of drug addiction still get an interview with an annual salary of more than 7 figures? Why do you earn billions of dollars from millions of dollars in assets?
I'm afraid he couldn't do without the help of his "uncle" John Bogle!
This is definitely not malicious speculation~
Withdrew stealthily from the crowd,
At a small round table in the distance, meet David Ellison again, "What do you think?" David Ellison asked.
Seeing that Taylor Swift was quite moved, Yang Cheng smiled wryly and pouted her lips, "Look, our beautiful ladies have already been moved by this story. It seems that after the official opening to attract funds, I believe the scene will be very hot."
David Ellison patted Yang Cheng on the shoulder, "come on man, you know that's not what I'm asking."
Yang Cheng frowned, "To be honest, if John Bogle and Vanguard Fund are really standing behind him, then no matter how capable this person is, the prospect can be expected. flag."
Taylor came over again, "I don't care, anyway, if you invest money, you must bring me~"
"Don't make a decision in a hurry, let me have someone check it out first." Yang Cheng pinched her chin and said.
He took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Ruiz, and then waited quietly. David Ellison's arm still couldn't reach Wall Street. What he could find was only superficial, and it was up to Yang Cheng to go deeper.
Speaking of which, if this Sandy really has an ulterior relationship with John Bogle as he guessed, then Sandy's good days are coming to an end. After all, John Bogle is now over 85 years old. Having an astonishing wealth guaranteed him the best maintenance and treatment, but since he was 30 years old, he was diagnosed with a heart attack, and his body has been greatly overdrawn. It is a miracle that he can survive until now, and he still has a few years to live. unpredictable.
Many people on Wall Street have more respect and admiration for John Bogle than the old stock god, not only because he created the world's largest fund company, but also pioneered the fund sales system without handling fees. "Father of Index Funds".
Today, Vanguard Fund, which holds trillions of dollars in assets, is a well-deserved giant of Wall Street and even the global financial industry. Of course, it is undeniable that Vanguard Fund is inextricably linked with Baigong.
"Jason?" Just as Yang Cheng was thinking about John Bogle, a familiar sweet voice sounded behind him.
Hearing the sound, he turned around, even with Taylor, and found that Miranda Kerr was smiling and holding the arm of her fiancé, Evan Spielberg, standing there to greet Yang Cheng.
"Hey, Miranda, what a coincidence? Evan, good evening." Yang Cheng froze for a moment, pinching his nose and smirking.
This Los Angeles is really small, and wherever you go, you can meet this pair of "golden boys and girls" who envy others.
"I didn't expect you to come too. I knew we would be together, so as not to be boring." Miranda Kerr still has the same style, over 30 years old, and still does not lose her supermodel demeanor.
Yang Cheng laughed dryly, "Yeah, are you planning to invest money in this Sandy fund too?" Yang Cheng wished that these two people would invest more, and it would be better if they lost money.
Well, he admitted that his narrow-mindedness had flared up again. Strange to say, it didn't happen to other women, except for Miranda Kerr. Every time he saw her smiling happily with her fiancé, he felt There was an unexplained fire that I didn't know where to send it. Maybe it had something to do with her being the first woman who had a little affection since Yang Cheng's rebirth?
Damn it, there's no such thing, the arrogant Yang Cheng never thinks that he has been in love with this woman, never!
"Evan does have this idea, but he still wants to plan for Snapchat's next round of financing and meet Wall Street investment banks in advance." Miranda Kerr seems to have become the official spokesperson, and Evan has become a supporting role instead. Smiling and lovingly looking at his girlfriend from the side.
David Ellison answered in surprise, "If I remember correctly, Snapchat just confirmed a new round of financing in June, right? How long has it been since then, and is it time to prepare for the next round? By the way, what time is this?" Is it the turn?"
His words are not malicious in themselves, but it sounds a bit ironic in Evan's family, as if to say that Snapchat can only be maintained by financing and has no profitability at all, although the fact is also true.
Yang Cheng also heard about this incident. At that time, Snapchat and New Era Media held financing at almost the same time. Of course, compared to New Era Media's multi-billion financing, Snapchat is like a child's play house, which cannot be compared.
But it cannot be denied that snapchat has its own fans who are willing to bet heavily on it. In fact, from the perspective of return on investment, snapchat is not a good investment target. If it is used as a supplement to the business map, it is another matter up.
As early as March this year, it was reported that a number of groups, including Alibaba, invested US$200 million in Snapchat’s E-round financing, and the investment institutions that finally joined, as well as two other hedge funds, finally Snapchat raised a total of US$537 million in this round. The specific amount has not been announced. According to rumors, the final amount may reach US$650 million.
Since its inception, Snapchat has been a company that has raised funds quite frequently. If you see news about Snapchat on the technology media, it is either because it has raised funds or because there are rumors that it is raising funds again. It was viewed as a joke.
Since its establishment in September 2011, Snapchat’s cumulative total financing has reached US$1.1 billion, and its valuation after this round of financing has reached US$16 billion. After that, the third largest unlisted Internet company.
Now that the E round of financing has just passed a few months, Yang Cheng is really worried that 26 letters are not enough for them to continue financing.
However, this young and willful second generation seems to have tasted the taste of money for the first time. He cashed out tens of millions of dollars with his partners twice to improve his life, and now he is also trying to take care of his own Funding, I have to say this can be regarded as a kind of progress.
Miranda Kerr saw that Evan's face was a little stiff, and hurriedly explained, "Evan plans to raise another round of financing and officially launch the IPO plan. If you two are interested, you can find out. As we all know, snapchat is the most popular nowadays. For Internet unicorns, the return after listing will definitely satisfy investors."
When Yang Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but feel that people would treat each other with admiration for three days, but it was still a bit naive. It would be a bit of fantasy to think that Yang Cheng and the others would be fooled into boarding the pirate ship with these two words.
Evan also knew this, and pulled his girlfriend's arm to avoid further embarrassment, "I heard that New Times Media has completed the C round of financing? Congratulations. I don't know if there will be another round of financing. If so, I hope You can give snapchat a chance to participate in exchange for my share of snapchat."
