"Is it going to be listed so soon?" Wang Ying was a little surprised. In her impression, Tesco has only been established for more than five years. Even if the Internet industry is relatively easy to go public, this speed is too fast.

"It won't be launched in the next two years, at least it will have to wait until two years later."

The reason why he chose to complete the Series C financing at this stage is because Qin Hao knew that the subprime mortgage crisis was about to break out, and Tesco needed sufficient funds to survive the coming Internet winter.

As for the listing time in 2009, the main reason is to reduce the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis as much as possible and avoid too low valuation when listing.

Along the way, Qin Hao took Wang Ying around, causing many employees to speculate whether she was the person in charge of a powerful financial institution.

"I don't look like an investor. The way Mr. Qin and her look at each other and their subconscious body movements show that they are obviously very close."

"She can't be our boss's wife, right?"

"But isn't Mr. Qin's girlfriend a singer? Her name seems to be Xiao Qianxi."

"So, Qin always rides two boats?"

CEO office.

Wang Ying stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the night view of the capital. She suddenly said with emotion: "The night view of the capital is more beautiful than before."

"Why do you sound sad when you say this? What happened?" Qin Hao hugged Wang Ying from behind.

Wang Ying shook her head gently: "My mother told me to continue studying for a master's degree in the UK and then come back. She will go with me."

"Is it because of Uncle Wang's matter?"

"That's part of the reason. The main reason is that my mother wanted a change of environment."

Qin Hao hesitated: "But we have been waiting for four years."

"Four years have passed so quickly. You can come see me anytime you have time." Wang Ying turned around and hugged Qin Hao's neck, kissing him gently.

"And I have also thought about it. I don't know what to do when I stay in China. I can't just stay at home and do nothing all day long. After living in the UK for four years, I have become accustomed to everything. I also want to take advantage of these three years to

Take the time to think about what you want to do and what you can do.”

"After all, I'm no longer a young lady, so I have to find something to do."

Qin Hao gently stroked Wang Ying's smooth cheek and said softly: "You will always be the eldest lady here with me."

"Nasty." Wang Ying sniffed and said in Qin Hao's ear: "I can accept you raising me, but I can't let you raise me as well. I have to make money to support her now."

Qin Hao knew that once Wang Ying decided something, it would be difficult to change it, so he had no choice but to agree.

The next day, Wang Ying set off for the UK with her mother, and did not send text messages to Xie Qiao and Xu Lin until before boarding the plane.

"Alas, the eldest lady is still the same as four years ago, leaving at any time." Xu Lin said depressedly while looking at the text message.

Xiao Qianxi, who was putting on makeup backstage, felt something in her heart: "Wang Ying is gone? Where did she go?"

"England, she said she wanted to study for a master's degree again." Xu Lin answered without thinking.

Xiao Qianxi was overjoyed. She was not in the capital when Wang Ying came back. It was not that she avoided it specifically, but she happened to catch up with the new album to shoot the MV. For a while, she sent messages to Qin Hao at night but there was no response. She probably guessed that Qin Hao

Hao is with Wang Ying.

There have been many women surrounding Qin Hao over the years, but the only one who can make Xiao Qianxi feel threatened is Wang Ying.

For Xiao Qianxi, Wang Ying leaving again is definitely great news for her.

"Xu Lin, I want to eat cake. Buy one for everyone."

"Ah, okay."

Xu Lin was a little confused, why did he suddenly think of eating cakes? It was difficult to order so many cakes. Fortunately, he could group buy them in advance. He quickly logged into E-commerce to open the group buying area.

…

In July 2007, Tesco completed Series C financing, with a valuation reaching an astonishing US$15.3 billion. For a company that has not yet been listed, such a high valuation immediately attracted media coverage.

Naturally, Qin Hao, who built Tesco from scratch into a company worth over RMB 100 billion, has also become the subject of intense media coverage.

It is a pity that Qin Hao rarely gives interviews, and the media can only use some examples to compile articles and publish them, many of which are false and even some absurd.

For example, there are inspirational stories about Qin Hao who was so poor that he could only eat white rice during college and had to pick up mineral water bottles from his classmates and sell them to make money for tuition and fees. The funniest thing is that this kind of inspirational story has become very popular and has been adopted by some

Frequently cited in successful learning events.

Later, Qin Hao couldn't stand it anymore and issued an official announcement through Tesco to refute the rumors.

At the same time, the snowball of the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States has loosened, and the stock market is wailing, especially some Internet technology stocks. A large amount of funds have begun to withdraw, causing the U.S. stock market, which has been rising for five consecutive years, to start a straight U-turn.

The snow on the top of the mountain has loosened, but the snowflakes at the foot of the mountain are still trying to climb up.

Then the avalanche came, and the US stock market caused the global financial market to collapse across the board.
