We're going to do something different.
And that's kind of the calculus we made as well at Greenhill.
I mean, there was a long history, even before our firm, of smaller boutiques that eventually got sold.
They would sell out to a bigger bank and
I wanted to keep us independent.
I thought we could go a long way and build a big global firm and all that sort of thing.
And so I thought really one summer I just thought, I wonder if instead of crystallizing value by selling the firm, I wonder if we could go public.
Yes, it is different change from just the kind of the pure shareholder value.
We don't care where our plants are, we don't care where our customers are, we just want to have the right configuration to maximize shareholder value.
If you if you or your government has to start thinking about, hey, maybe we want to have some of our own capability in that field, it chain really changes everything.
I mean, here here's a really simple example.
If you are running a country that's in a climate that's
Not, you know, the greatest place to grow food.
You probably want to grow some of your own food nonetheless.
Mm-hmm.
You know, it may be more expensive, maybe more difficult, but you probably have want to have some of your own supply.
What's now being talked about is maybe that's true in a whole bunch of things.
Maybe that's true of you know pharmaceuticals, maybe that's true of our defense products, maybe that's true of all the electronics that we're we all you know live with every single day of our lives.
And if you start thinking that way, I think.
It will quickly lead to to countries saying, Hmm, I'm not sure we want to allow this foreign company to buy our, you know, wonderful company here, because if we will lose control of that production.
