Wind Rises 2005

Chapter 664: Auditory hallucinations?
Goldman Sachs, Asset Management (Americas) Alternative Investments Division.

Although it was already past seven o'clock in the evening, the lights in the office were still bright, and the employees were all busy, and there was no sign that they were about to get off work.

The world is actually very fair. If you want to enjoy the high salary benefits of large companies and institutions, it is naturally impossible to be as comfortable as a small business.

Moreover, the colleagues around you are better than the last, and each one is better than the last, so it is even more impossible for you to take advantage of the situation easily.

Especially since more young people join every year and can replace you at any time.

Under this kind of pressure, it would be good if you don't call 996 every day, but it is impossible to get off work on time.

Don’t think it’s exaggerated or alarmist!

It is commonplace within Goldman Sachs that someone who was your subordinate yesterday will be replaced by you today.

After all, those who can work here are almost all the top talents in the world.

Even if some monsters appear, it is normal.

And our college sister Jiang Yinqiujiang is one of the best.

Although she has not yet graduated from Columbia, she has joined Goldman Sachs full-time after completing all her courses and thesis ahead of schedule.

With his outstanding performance in the subprime mortgage crisis, Jiang Yinqiu became the most powerful newcomer of the year within Goldman Sachs, and forcefully transferred departments and was no longer responsible for the financial securities business in the secondary market.

She followed Ma Liang's suggestion and transferred to the venture capital department focusing on primary market investment.

And he was in a middle management position as soon as he took up the position. He is currently the co-head of the alternative investment department of Asset Management (Americas), focusing on venture capital business in the American market.

Although there are many business geniuses at Goldman Sachs, there are only a few who are promoted as fast as she is.

Now Jiang Yinqiu has his own independent office and a team of more than a dozen people.

Although there are not many employees, its authority is not small at all. It directly manages billions of dollars in assets and venture capital business, and can report to Goldman Sachs' senior bosses at any time.

After all, top financial institutions are not like large manufacturing companies, and their staffs are extremely small.

Sister Jiang's current position can be regarded as entering the core management of Goldman Sachs, and she is on the fast track to promotion.

Once he makes great achievements, he can be promoted to a prince at any time.

Jiang Yinqiu herself has this plan. Her next goal is to be promoted to the top executive of Goldman Sachs Asia Pacific and become one of the most powerful people.

Seeing her lover's career getting bigger and bigger, Sister Jiang Da also feels a lot of pressure.

So she worked hard and focused on climbing up, just to avoid widening the gap between herself and Ma Liang.

Jiang Yinqiu is a strong woman after all, and is not willing to just become a man's vassal.

Moreover, the pressure at home also made her very distressed, so she became more focused on her career.

She firmly believes that one day she will be in a high position, so high that the Jiang family must also take it seriously. No one can easily dominate and control her destiny.

So as soon as she was transferred to her new position, Sister Jiang University was full of energy and devoted herself to her work.

She was transferred from the financial and securities department to be responsible for the venture capital business. Not only did she not feel unfamiliar at work, but she also had a surprising experience of being at home like a fish in water.

I have to say that this is all due to my previous experience as a boss lady at [Dale Capital].

Although Jennifer has always been in charge of the investment business of [Dafeng Capital], Jiang Yinqiu, as the nominal CEO, is still very concerned about the specific situation.

After all, it was her lover's business, and she had to help take care of it.

Therefore, her understanding of the primary market investment business is no worse than that of other co-heads of Goldman Sachs.

On the contrary, because of the unfavorable operations of [Dafeng Capital] in the past, Sister Jiang University has a more advanced understanding in this area at this time, and she has a vision that transcends the current level in grasping projects.

On the first day she took office, she organized a team meeting and carefully studied all the past investment cases of [Dale Capital].

He also issued an order to everyone in the team to search for entrepreneurial projects based on the investment preferences of [Dale Capital] and make their investment portfolio for the next year.

One thing in particular is that if it is a project that has been invested by [Dale Capital], be sure to try to invest in the next round.

Not long after he took office, he led the team to take action frequently and invested in many projects.

Even those projects that cannot be invested temporarily have been added to the long-term watch list, and they are ready to get involved at any time.

From early concept projects to mid- to late-stage startups, we welcome anyone who is suitable.

With such vigorous and efficient operations, the department where Jiang Daxue worked quickly handed in an answer sheet with excellent results.

Compared with other co-directors, he was in the limelight for a while.

But Jiang Yinqiu was not satisfied. Instead, he threw himself even more into his work, causing all his subordinates to exclaim that his young female boss was really a master of papers.

Sister Jiang University doesn't care what her colleagues think, she just thinks that she must achieve results as soon as possible and have more authority.

If she can be promoted to a senior executive in the Asia-Pacific region as soon as possible, she can reunite with her lover one day earlier.

By then she would go back in glory and be with Ma Liang openly, and no one would dare to stop her or make irresponsible remarks.

In order to achieve this goal, what does 996 mean? 007 is not a problem.

No, after carefully reading and analyzing the list of startup companies collected by his subordinates, Jiang Yinqiu quickly selected several high-quality projects.

She waved her hand and told the female assistant: "Jie Xi, let Adam and the others get in touch with these projects and complete the due diligence as soon as possible.

I want to see the complete report next Tuesday. If there is no problem, all can be submitted. "

"Oh, Rachel, today is already Friday. It seems that our weekend is going to be ruined again..."

Assistant Jie Xi couldn't help but sigh, complaining about having such a boss on the stall. Jiang Yinqiu also responded with embarrassment: "Sorry, Jie Xi, because these projects are still in a very early stage, and we need to know more about the specific situation before we can make decisions.

Please work hard, and after finishing these projects, I will definitely give you a whole holiday next month! "

"OK, this is what you said, don't let us go any further.

If we don't have a holiday, Adam and the others will really rebel! "Jie Xi had no choice but to agree, turned around and walked out of the office to assign tasks.

That being said, everyone is very motivated.

Because of Sister Jiang's relationship, the performance of the entire department has exploded some time ago, and everyone's bonuses have been doubled.

If I have to say something, I can only feel pain and happiness!

Jiang Yinqiu finished assigning the task, clicked on the email sent by Jennifer, and carefully reviewed the latest report.

Smartphone applications and mobile Internet have become the most preferred investment tracks of Gale Capital, and startups in this field account for 80% of the projects that the entire institution focuses on.

This also fully implements the intention of the boss Ma Liang. As a reborn boss, no one understands the trend of mobile Internet better than him.

Therefore, Sister Jiang University is following suit and is particularly interested in projects in this field.

If it weren't for the geographical division of authority in current positions, she would really like to search for all mobile Internet projects around the world.

Just as she was carefully reviewing the documents, the cell phone placed aside suddenly rang.

Jiang Yinqiu picked it up and saw that it was a call from his father, whom he usually didn't like to see very much. This was really new, considering that her father rarely contacted her at this time.

"Xiaoqiu, have you finished get off work? Have you tired yourself recently..."

Because of the special period that year, Jiang's father did not have a surname of Jiang. Instead, he always took his mother's surname of Wu.

The name is also very funny, it’s called Xiaobai.

It's just that in the Jiang family, few people call him by his first name now, even the two elder brothers.

After Jiang Yinqiu was born, he let his daughter continue to take the Jiang family name.

As soon as the call was connected, the youngest son, who was bent on reviving the Jiang family, unexpectedly became concerned about his daughter's current situation.

This is the first time he has ever done anything. In the past, he always acted like a strict father, and was extremely manipulative, making it difficult for people to get close to him.

This was the first time Jiang Yinqiu heard his father speak in such a tone, and he was stunned for a moment.

"No, I'm still in the company..."

"You are a daughter of a family, why are you working so hard? Can't your family take good care of you?"

Wu Xiaobai started the same old rhetoric again, and was very dissatisfied with his daughter's rebellious behavior.

For a family like theirs, the Jiang family, there is no need to enter the workplace like ordinary workers. Their own path to success has been planned for a long time.

When Jiang Yinqiu heard his father preaching there again, he immediately became unhappy: "Is there anything else? If nothing happens, just hang up. I'm busy here!"

She wasn't happy to hear her father's nagging about patriarchal women over daughters again, especially when he wanted to arrange various third-generation blind dates for her.

Ever since her grandfather passed away, the Jiang family has been in decline, and her father has always wanted to use her to climb high.

That's why Jiang Yinqiu has been refusing to return to China, just to avoid this powerful biological father and stop his unrealistic thoughts.

"Alas, don't hang up in a hurry!"

Wu Xiaobai really regrets that he would not have sent his daughter abroad if he had known better.

Now that his daughter's wings are getting harder and harder to control, his attitude can no longer be as strong as before.

He had no choice but to relent and awkwardly stated his intention.

"Well, the Chinese New Year is almost here. It's time to go home. You haven't been back for more than two years..."

Before Jiang Yinqiu finished hearing what he said, he immediately refused and said, "I can't go back. The Americans don't have a holiday during the Chinese New Year!"

"You girl really follow your grandma, you are as stubborn as ever."

Wu Xiaobai couldn't help but reprimanded her again. It's true that the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. He has no way to deal with his daughter now.

"Be obedient and come back during the Chinese New Year. Your mother misses you so much!"

When Jiang Yinqiu heard this, he responded with one sentence: "I think you can come to the United States to visit me. It's not like you can't afford a plane ticket..."

"Damn girl, why are you talking?"

Hearing that his daughter had always had a bad attitude, Wu Xiaobai finally became angry, but then he remembered the purpose of making this call, and his anger softened instantly.

After hearing this, Jiang Yinqiu became even more impatient and said, "I'm too lazy to tell you. I'll call my mother later."

"Well, this year the whole Jiang family is going back to their hometown to worship their ancestors, and it just so happens that the whole family gets together.

Come back and have a reunion dinner together.

If it's convenient, call Xiao Ma to come and recognize the door..." Wu Xiaobai finally revealed his true intention.

But when he said this, that old face felt a little hot.

But as soon as these words came out, it was Jiang Yinqiu's turn to be dumbfounded. He didn't understand why his father suddenly said such words.

What's going on? Could it be that I was hallucinating?
