Chapter 358 - 247 The IPO Journey of Antler Coffee



Song Yanxi returned home.

It was her daughter’s birthday, so she was certainly going to celebrate with them.

The house was still bustling with noise and excitement.

Chen Pingsheng asked Chen An’an where she wanted to go in the afternoon, and she wanted to go out to sea.

There was still a yacht worth nearly fifty million at the Magic City marina, ready to sail at any moment.

After finishing the meal, Song Yanxi couldn’t join them because of some matters at Water Cloud Space.

Chen Pingsheng had to take her alone.

A yacht like this normally costs tens of millions.

Theirs wasn’t too big and could only operate in the coastal areas near Magic City.

The super yacht they had ordered with a one billion deposit would be the one capable of circumnavigating the globe.

The family had full-time crew members, and they just had to call them up when they wanted to set sail.

Chen Pingsheng, wearing large sunglasses, sat on the top deck soaking up the sun.

Life couldn’t get much more comfortable.

As for Chen An’an, she bought a little fishing rod for herself, but definitely didn’t dare to fish for sharks.

Catching some small seafood was good enough.

Above the sparkling sea, the limitless expanse of the azure sky and ocean stretched into the distance.

For Jiang Peiyao and Shen Wanning, it was their first time out at sea. What girl doesn’t love the ocean?

The sight of such an unbeatable seascape filled them with longing.

By late March, people had switched to light jackets for the daily wear.

"Dad, do you think I can catch any fish?"

"I’ve never caught one myself. Do you really think you can catch one?"

Sea fishing is delightful, but actually catching fish is not easy.

Sitting idle for an hour or two without even a tinkle from the fish bell is quite normal.

Catching those fish, you’d better bring along a professional fishing master.

Chen An’an was just joining in on the fun—once the excitement wore off, she went back to what she had been doing.

The nine-year-old girl had a fresh enthusiasm for everything, but once it faded, she returned to playing her favorite Small Erhu.

Jiang Peiyao and Shen Wanning became her little audience.

Chen Pingsheng also absent-mindedly munched on a slice of watermelon.

In the evening, Chen An’an didn’t want to go back. She wanted to spend the night at sea.

This was no issue; their small yacht had two bedrooms anyway.

They could fall asleep to the view of the ocean.

On the other side, Jiang Peiyao and Shen Wanning were chattering away happily.

Clearly, the experience of yachting was joyful, and after returning ashore, the not-so-large yacht was going to be lent to Chang Fu for video shooting.

Current short-video trends were all about showing off, and nothing attracted followers like flaunting luxury and slapping faces with opulence.

Chang Fu rode right along with the trend.

Luxury cars, mansions—how could one miss out on a super yacht?

In the eyes of the netizens these days, a yacht worth nearly fifty million was surprising enough to hold their attention for quite a while.

After returning to sea, Chen Pingsheng treated Chen An’an to an authentic Magic City-style breakfast.

Then, they took a flight back to Capital City since she only had a two-day holiday.

She couldn’t stay in Magic City for too long.

Back home, the little fart kid, Chen Xinyi, was always getting dirty, chasing after chicks or ducklings on the path.

She especially loved playing with small animals.

The family had even bought her a white little Teddy to amuse her.

"Daddy, sister."

In another two months, the little chubby girl would turn two. Chen Xinyi liked playing not only with animals.

But also with legs.

Every morning when her mother left, she would watch at the doorway for a long time.

Until Song Yanxi’s car disappeared from view.

Chen An’an brought her some small gifts, all brightly colored trinkets.

The little chubby girl was very happy, chasing after her dad to be picked up.

Chen Pingsheng picked her up, and Peng Ying and Liu Fen at home, every day they were either researching stocks or gardening and planting flowers.

Perfectly fitting the life of the elderly.

As for his younger sister-in-law Song Wu, Song Yanxi had introduced her to several blind date candidates, but none suited her.

She returned to acting to make money.

Chen Pingsheng didn’t go anywhere today, just stayed at home taking care of the child.

Time flew, and before one knew it, it was April.

Everything was still fine at home, and Chen Pingsheng began to return to his usual busyness.

The stock price of Tengying Group was still low, causing his plan to cash out some of the original shares of Bobo Milk Tea this month to be delayed.

In addition, Tenghui Department Store’s IPO application encountered obstacles, so Chen Pingsheng simply had Tenghui Department Store apply for a listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in Xiangjiang.

Contrary to the difficult IPO journey of Tenghui Department Store, Antler Coffee’s Nasdaq application went unexpectedly smoothly.

After all, coffee originated from abroad, and the foreign capital markets are very clear about it.

In China, there’s only Starbucks, far ahead, monopolizing the coffee industry for many years.

And the newly rising Antler Coffee will undoubtedly become its biggest competitor in the Central China region.

With a market of 1.3 billion people, there’s definitely room for two giant coffee companies to coexist.

There’s no reason Starbucks should always be in the lead.

Tong Zelan, leading the negotiation team, had discussions abroad for over a week and then brought back a survey team, mainly to investigate the domestic market presence of Antler Coffee—to see how it really was.

If you want to be listed abroad, it’s hard to get away with fraud.

You must have a very solid foundation before they give you the opportunity to list.

This is completely different from the domestic securities market; here in China, you just need to manage a few key figures.

Get them to issue a few guarantees and passes, find those top accounting firms to make your financial statements look a little better.

And then you can go public.

As for the thousands of shareholders who get cheated, n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

stock trading carries risks, invest with caution.

With one sentence, they passed the buck.

On Nasdaq, if you want to play those tricks, let’s not even talk about whether others will give you the chance.

Even if you do get listed, and shareholders discover they’ve been duped, calling the police is the safest option for you.

When a large group of cheated people come to your house, driving cars and carrying AK47s,

don’t be too surprised.

Therefore, it’s rare for Nasdaq to see companies that get listed through drinking and connections, those so-called "briefcase" companies.

Antler Coffee’s application for a Nasdaq listing brought over an investigation team that had seven or eight people. Your next journey awaits at empire

First, they check your company’s finances, then your offline store’s business condition.

Additionally, there will be a few analysts who, based on your domestic business condition, will produce a report on the development prospects for the next few years.

If they determine that your future development prospects are poor, then your road to listing is basically almost cut off.

When people from abroad come over, they simply do their job.

There is no possibility of accepting bribes, which is a serious crime overseas.

The threshold for commercial bribery is anything valued over 250 US dollars.

The punishment for bribery is set in federal law. Punishments for both giving and receiving bribes are the same; both may face imprisonment.

For a misdemeanor, one may face up to two years in prison, while a felony could lead to as much as 15 years.

Even if you dare to give it, no one dares to take your money.

This is not an exaggeration; for investigators like them, any falsities discovered during the investigation could impact hundreds of thousands of shareholders.

Over there, ordinary citizens are not just anyone; they are people capable of bearing arms.

If it’s discovered, going to prison is absolutely the most ideal outcome.

No one can guarantee that there won’t be one or two impulsive individuals out of those hundreds of thousands of shareholders.

If you cheat them, they dare to fire guns outside your home.

If you covet the money in their pockets, they might consider your family’s life.

It’s just that volatile.

The investigation had only just begun and would last for at least a month.

Only after it ends can the official IPO and fundraising journey begin.

Everything was still progressing smoothly.
