Chapter 130 Support (first order)

  After coming out of the principal’s office, Xia Jingxing went to the second-hand car market in San Francisco and called Liu Hai to accompany him on a stroll.

  American car culture is very popular, with a per capita monthly income of more than two thousand US dollars. As long as it is not for relief, the average family can afford a car.

  So the car is just a means of transportation for most Americans. Most people will choose to buy a used car instead of a new car because it is more affordable.

  But the car was considered a luxury in China in 2003, and most families could not afford it. Even if they wanted to buy it, more people would choose to buy a new car because it was more face-saving.

  After the domestic per capita income rises, cars have entered thousands of households. Even if luxury brands are becoming more common on the road, the business of second-hand car dealers will become more and more prosperous.

  In the final analysis, it is still a necessary process on the road of development.

  In the United States, the sales of second-hand cars are mainly private transactions through car dealers, second-hand car chains, and online platforms.

  Xia Jingxing and Liu Hai came to a used car chain store. As soon as they entered the sales area, they saw rows of cars parked there neatly.

  At a glance, I am afraid there are hundreds of cars.

  On the side window glass of every vehicle on sale, you will see the following information: model name, year, mileage, power system, configuration, and the final price including various taxes and fees.

   "Finally I bought a car!"

   Liu Hai joked, "According to me, none of these cars are worth your worth.

  After all, he is also the boss of a company with a valuation of hundreds of millions of dollars. Driving a broken car with a value of tens of thousands of dollars will affect business talks! "

"hehe!"

  Xia Jingxing smiled while watching the car, “It’s not about buying a car with the company’s money. If the company pays for it, I will say nothing. I would like to mention a few Lamborghini and Ferrari to put them there. I drove one every day without duplicates.

  This is my own money, so it’s better to save a little bit. "

"Moreover…"

  Xia Jingxing pointed to the row of BMWs and Mercedes-Benz next to him, "This is not bad, right? It's all luxury brands."

  He thought that the company was about to relocate to Silicon Valley. Every day, he went to school and company, and he also came to San Francisco from time to time. It is really not convenient not to have a car.

  It happens to have hundreds of thousands of dollars in hand, just buy a normal car and drive.

  Even if he buys a Rolls-Royce and goes out to discuss business with Americans, the other person will look at the website's Alexa ranking, number of users, etc., instead of a car.

   Liu Hai smiled, "Well, you are a struggling young man, and you put your whole mind on the company.

  It is actually a good thing not to be greedy for pleasure and extravagance.

  Many young people in the U.S. degenerate as soon as they have money..."

  Xia Jingxing nodded, with different cultures and different concepts, it is true that many young people in the United States and the United States are degenerate when they have money, especially in the entertainment industry.

   "This Jeep Wrangler is good!"

   Liu Hai also helped to watch the car on the side. He saw a black Wrangler and hurriedly asked Xia Jingxing to look over.

  Xia Jingxing took a few glances at the information on the side window glass of the car and drove tens of thousands of kilometers, two or three years old, and the price was a little over twenty thousand dollars.

  It feels okay, as an alternative!

  Walking around for a while, Xia Jingxing also hit a BMW 5 series, also two or three years old, driving mileage of tens of thousands of kilometers, the price is more expensive than the Wrangler, more than 25,000 US dollars.

   "Buy two cars?"

   Liu Hai winked his eyebrows, "Send girlfriend?"

  Xia Jingxing shook his head, "No, for my two partners."

   "I'll go, send it directly?"

   Liu Hai was a little surprised. For a gift of more than 20,000 US dollars, it is too proud to say that it is given as a gift?

   "I owe some favor, it's time to pay it back."

  What Xia Jingxing was thinking about was the last time he increased leverage to speculate in NetEase stocks, and almost broke his position, and finally the babes and dogs lent him money.

  The foreign girl lent him two thousand dollars, and the little dog lent him three thousand dollars.

  The money was originally used by the two of them to add warehouses to NetEase, and the twelve times the income they got was eventually turned into interest-free borrowing.

  Of course, this investment opportunity was also told by Xia Jingxing, otherwise they would not make a dime.

  The little dog and the foreign girl have never asked for compensation, or talked about gifts.

  But Xia Jingxing is a kind person who has to pay for it. It happened that the two of them did not have a car, and they would often use a car after the company moved, so they simply gave each of them a car.

  The foreign girl, keep it for yourself.

  The little dog...well, it should still be your own, right?

   "Brother Hai, thanks to you last time about the tax, I think your car is a bit old, so choose one and give you a gift."

  Xia Jingxing thought of bangs, and indeed owed him a lot of favor, from sending suits to accompany him to test his driver’s license and whistleblowing to himself.

  Although the relationship with First Securities is doing well now, and bangs are not involved, it is time to remember the other side’s favor.

   Liu Hai waved his hands again and again, “I don’t need it.

  Just as you said, a car is a means of transportation, there is no need to toss and toss. "

  Xia Jingxing smiled, not reluctantly, and asked about Liu Hai’s work.

   "It's still like that!"

   Liu Hai briefly talked about the current situation of work, and added with a smile: “Underlying securities brokers like us, although rich and expensive, they can’t die from starvation.”

  "Have you ever thought about changing jobs?"

  Xia Jingxing looked at her bangs with a smile.

   "Go to Facebook? I said last time that your company is a good company, but it's not suitable for me. It's just a meal when I go."

   Liu Hai shook his head, knowing that Xia Jingxing wanted to help him, but he was self-aware, and knew that he would not do anything famous once he went.

  "Do you have CFA (Certified Financial Analyst) or RIA (Investment Consulting), PFS (Personal Financial Expert) certificates?"

   Liu Hai shook his head, "I have a U.S. securities broker license and can engage in financial-related investment and sales businesses such as stocks, mutual funds, bonds, etc.

  What do you want to do? Register a private equity fund?

  I tell you, this is no less difficult than your Internet entrepreneurship.

  The most important thing is to have a record, a dazzling investment record, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the wealthy or major pension funds, university funds..."

   Liu Hai thought that Xia Jingxing was on a whim, and wanted to enter Wall Street with a little money in his hand. He didn't understand how deep the water was inside, and seriously described the difficulty of it.

   "Well, fundraising is a problem!"

  Xia Jingxing nodded. This is the biggest problem. The clever woman is embarrassed to cook without rice. Apart from this, everything else is not a problem.

  He put this matter on the agenda, not on a whim, but after serious consideration, to open up a new path and turn personal stock trading into a large-scale operation.

  Of course, it is only in the planning stage at present, and it is not yet at the stage of formal implementation of the plan.

  "Why, Brother Hai, you go to take a higher-level certificate?"

   Liu Haiyan glanced at Xia Jingxing, and asked seriously: "Do you really want to fund your own funds? What about Facebook? Run on both sides?"

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said, "This is not a problem. Take a look at how I invest in NetEase?

  Also, you have recently acquired Amicco stock, and your company has also invested a lot of money. "

   "Our company also invested?"

  The level of bangs is low, and I really don’t know the inside story of Xia Jingxing and First Securities.

   "Yes, I have reached a simple cooperation with the chairman of your company Liu Jinhang.

  If First Securities makes money on this investment, when we form a fund, Chairman Liu should come to support it. "

  Speaking of this, Liu Hai understood instantly and nodded and said: "Okay, I will prepare and get some certificates."

  Xia Jingxing said "um", the company is big, it is impossible to do everything by yourself. Liu Hai people are not bad, but they are younger and lack some experience in the industry.

  But these problems are not big problems. It is not a problem to have your own responsibility to guide the direction and let Liu Hai make simple investments.
