Gold Investor

Chapter 14 The richest man lost contact (6)
Having been in the investment industry for several years, Fang Yubin is very familiar with what Zheng Shicheng said.The listing was aborted halfway, and the company’s huge investment in the early stage was in vain. The investment company it cooperated with would definitely plan to jump ship and save itself.

Zheng Shicheng took a deep breath: "In this situation, I can only start a new round of financing, and quickly find a sum of money to tide over the difficulties."

Fang Yubin said, "Are you going to find Rongding Capital?"

"That's exactly what you mean." Zheng Shicheng sat up straight, "Just now you didn't mention several aspects of investigating the company, I think I am quite suitable. I have no plans to immigrate. The company mainly deals in real estate, and the market size is going to be huge. "

Fang Yubin smiled wryly in his heart. This Zheng Shicheng not only learns and sells, but also uses it selectively.I have not only talked about the sustainability and market size of the enterprise, but also the differences and business models. Why didn't Zheng Shicheng mention it?

Fang Yubin sat up from the massage chair: "Boss Zheng, since you recognize me as my brother, I'll be blunt. According to your company's financial situation and business model, I'm afraid the two sides have little chance of cooperation."

Zheng Shicheng took a big puff on his cigarette: "I also know that this matter is difficult to operate, so I have to trouble you." After a pause, he continued: "I don't want much money, 5000 million is enough. I will make a deal with the investment company. I know the rules, and the rebate given to investment managers is usually 2%, but here, I can give you 4%. Brother, this is 200 million real money."

Fang Yubin naturally knew about Zheng Shicheng's so-called rules.In recent years, investment companies have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, and the employees are even more mixed. Especially some small investment companies, the investment managers ask companies for kickbacks to the point of brazenness.

But in a big company like Rhodium, they pay close attention to the kickbacks given to the subordinates.After Yuan Ruilang came to the Shanghai company, he fired several investment managers for this reason.Yuan Ruilang once said at the meeting that taking kickbacks is a high-voltage line, and one will be fired if one is found.

The point is, Zheng Shicheng's offer of 200 million is really hot.If a company's own qualifications are not bad, the investment manager is nothing more than doing some needlework.Zheng Shicheng's company clearly does not meet the conditions, and if he wants to get investment, he can only cooperate with the other party to make a fake.

After hesitating for a while, Fang Yubin finally said, "Thank you Brother Zheng for your kindness. I'm afraid I won't be able to earn this money. According to Rongding's work flow, I will summarize the proposed investment projects and report them to the Investment Committee for decision. After the meeting. The members of the investment committee include not only the CEO of the company, but also external experts and scholars. I am only the deputy director of investment, and I am not a member of the investment committee at all."

Zheng Shicheng laughed: "Brother, do you really not understand or are you fooling me?" He went on to say: "What kind of investment committee, what kind of experts, they are all fucking nonsense. The key to everything is the leader. Take your Shanghai company as an example. , just to see Yuan Ruilang's face."

Fang Yubin smiled faintly, but did not speak.What Zheng Shicheng said is not completely unreasonable to a certain extent.A project that everyone else supports, as long as Yuan Ruilang opposes it, it will be useless.The project that everyone else is against, as long as Yuan Ruilang is determined to support it, there is also a chance of reversal.

After a long silence, Fang Yubin finally said, "Even if what you said makes sense, I'm not Yuan Ruilang."

"My brother is humble." Zheng Shicheng patted Fang Yubin's shoulder, "I'm not looking for people in the street. Although you are not as good as Yuan Ruilang, you are definitely not worse than those vice presidents in the company."

Fang Yubin smiled wryly and said, "Brother Zheng, you are making fun of me. The deputy director is the director, and the director is the vice president. There are several levels in the middle!"

"Brother, I don't study much, but I have seen a lot of things in these years." Zheng Shicheng said, "I went to other provinces to develop a commercial real estate project the year before last. In order to acquire land, I found an executive in charge of land. Deputy mayor. He took my money and did his best. But another competitor put all his energy into hooking up the secretary of the municipal party committee secretary. This secretary has been with the leader for more than ten years. What kind of wine does the leader drink during the day and read at night? He knows exactly what book it is. In the end, the deputy mayor didn't fight the little secretary."

Zheng Shicheng took a sip of tea: "Maybe the size of the official rank is not important, but the intimacy of the same leader is decisive. I have inquired about it. In Rongding Shanghai Company, you are the person Yuan Ruilang trusts the most."

"You speak too directly." Fang Yubin smiled bitterly.

Zheng Shicheng put down his teacup: "I'm a rough man, brother, don't take offense."

Fang Yubin pondered for a while and said: "It's a very important matter, I can't answer you yet. I have to check Mr. Yuan's tone first."

"Of course." Zheng Shicheng said, "Besides, the 4% is just a commission for you. If Yuan Ruilang puts forward any conditions, I will definitely not be stingy."

It was already past 10 o'clock in the evening when we left Xijiao City.Fang Yubin insisted that Zheng Shicheng not send a car to take him home, but stopped a taxi with Qi Yu.

After the car started, Fang Yubin complained: "Last time I said you should figure out a way to buy a house. Is this your way?"

Qi Yu didn't answer directly, but asked, "How was your talk with Zheng Shicheng?"

Fang Yubin's voice was low, but his face was a bit ugly: "Why don't you tell me the truth about this kind of thing?"

Qi Yu didn't show weakness: "Honestly? Didn't Zheng Shicheng tell you everything today? You can do it if you want to, and if you don't want to be defeated, no one will point a gun at you."

Fang Yubin said: "Do you know the consequences of this matter? If you invest money in Zheng Shicheng's company and lose money in the end, what should you do? At that time, someone will pursue the matter, and if you disclose the kickback, you will go to jail."

"Don't scare me!" Qi Yu said, "The money released by the investment company is not profitable. Isn't there a saying in the circle? Investing in one of five projects is considered good. Let's say recently The Jinsheng Group, if you lose money in the end, will Ding Yifu go to jail or Yuan Ruilang? Zheng Shicheng only wants tens of millions, so it scares you like that."

"Is it because of money that you dare to do anything?" Fang Yubin asked scoldingly.

"Fang, your conscience is eaten by dogs." Qi Yu yelled loudly, regardless of being in the taxi, "Am I doing it for myself? Not for the cost of marriage, I have to worry about it?" After finishing speaking With this sentence, Qi Yu's tears flowed out.

Fang Yubin was most afraid of women crying in front of him, so he softened his tone: "I know you are also kind, but the money to buy the house has already been settled? The company gave me a bonus of 30 yuan for the last time I worked on the Accelink Technology project. , and then sell the bachelor apartment I live in now to pay the down payment for a three-bedroom apartment, it shouldn’t be a big problem. You don’t have to worry too much about this. "

"Look at how promising you are!" Qi Yu sneered, "30 is enough to cover your eyes, right? If you don't ask, how has the housing price in Shanghai risen? It's less than 4 in the urban area. Don’t even think about it, even outside the outer ring is 2. Considering the decoration expenses, even if Zheng Shicheng’s 200 million is added, this money is only enough to buy a three-bedroom in the outer ring.”

"It can't be calculated like this. Isn't it possible to get a mortgage to buy a house? That way the pressure is much less." Fang Yubin said.

Qi Yu said: "Mortgage is the only solution. Now that we have money in front of us, why do we still have to pay such a heavy mortgage? After we get married, we don't need to spend money on childbirth and children's education? I want to make our life easier in the future. One point, what's wrong?"

Qi Yu said relentlessly: "If you don't agree, I'll call my cousin tomorrow and push this matter away, so that I, Zhu Bajie, don't have to look in the mirror—it's not a person inside or outside."

"Don't." Fang Yubin had no choice but to persuade, "I've already told Zheng Shicheng, and I'll check the situation first before I can answer him."

Qi Yu insisted on going back to her parents' house tonight. After getting off the car, she walked towards the community without looking back.

Fang Yubin sighed and asked the driver to take him home.

6 Don't be an executive when you are an official or a deputy
Fang Yubin could only temporarily put aside what Zheng Shicheng entrusted.Early the next morning, he accompanied Lin Shengfeng, the deputy general manager of the Shanghai company, to Jiangzhou.

In Rongding Capital Shanghai Company, Lin Shengfeng is the third in command after Yuan Ruilang and Yan Fei.Lin Shengfeng is regarded not only as a "good old man", but also as a "devil king of the world".The so-called "good old man" means that Lin Shengfeng never makes enemies, no matter whether he is against the superior or inferior.The so-called "devil king of the world" means that he doesn't take care of the small things at work, and doesn't care about the big things. When a monk hits the clock for a day, he is almost just dawdling and waiting for retirement.

A year ago, the executive vice president of the Shanghai company was transferred, and the head office had already made a decision. Lin Shengfeng was promoted to executive vice president, and Fei Yunpeng's secretary, Yan Fei, was transferred to the vice president of the Shanghai company, ranking after Lin Shengfeng.

But at this time, Lin Shengfeng flew to Beijing, found the chairman Ding Yifu and the president Fei Yunpeng, and sincerely expressed that he did not want to be the executive vice president.In the end, this coveted position fell into Yan Fei's pocket.

Later, the bosses of the Shanghai company had dinner.Yan Fei stood up to toast Lin Shengfeng's wine, expressing his gratitude.But Lin Shengfeng laughed: "My brother is too polite. This matter has accomplished both you and me, killing two birds with one stone."

Seeing that Yan Fei was puzzled, Lin Shengfeng said: "I'm quite old, even if I become the executive vice president, that's the end of it. If I want to be promoted, I should have been promoted a few years ago. Now, I don't expect it. You But it’s different, sitting in this position at the age of 30 has a bright future!”

Lin Shengfeng added: "In our company, executive vice presidents and vice presidents have exactly the same salary. Being an executive vice president means having a better reputation and taking care of more things. At my age, I figured it out—" ——If you are an official or a deputy, you should not be an executive. In our company, Mr. Yuan is the one at the helm, and all the subordinates are paddling. The general vice president does not count on big or small matters, and the executive vice president should ask Yuan for instructions Boss? In that case, why not take a break."

Lin Shengfeng's words were not at all hypocritical, and Yuan Ruilang and Yan Fei listened to them, not to mention feeling disgusted.Because of these words, it was originally Yan Fei who offered Lin Shengfeng a glass of wine, and Yuan Ruilang took the initiative to get up and drink with him.

Of course, if you want to have a good time in a dangerous workplace, you must not rely on senior qualifications and a good mentality.Lin Shengfeng has his own set of workplace philosophies.Once, Lin Shengfeng saw that Fang Yubin was working too hard to revise the materials every time, so he kindly gave Fang Yubin a call.

In the past, when Fang Yubin wrote the materials and handed them over to the leader, he would say: "This is my first draft, please review it." In Fang Yubin's view, there is nothing wrong with being modest and low-key in everything.However, the first draft written by Fang Yubin after staying up all night was always beaten back by the leader with various reasons, and finally revised repeatedly, which made him extremely painful.

During the chat, Lin Shengfeng reminded Fang Yubin: "When you submitted the materials, you said that it was the first draft. If the leader didn't pick a few questions from it, wouldn't it be too unprofessional? Doesn't this kind of statement mean that you are looking for work for yourself?"

Fang Yubin thought it was reasonable, but he still had doubts in his heart: "If you don't say that, can I not change a word?"

Lin Shengfeng laughed: "You might as well say: 'I wrote this after staying up for two nights, and later revised it carefully. I don't know if it will work. Please take a look at it.' In this way, while maintaining humility, The leader also knows that you have thought about it."

Fang Yubin suddenly became enlightened, and later used this trick many times when submitting materials. Although the situation of sending back materials for revision still occurred, the frequency was greatly reduced.

After arriving in Jiangzhou, the group immediately went to the office of Jianghua Group Chairman Shen Ruping.Jianghua Group is the most powerful enterprise under the Jiangzhou State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. Shen Ruping worked in the enterprise in the early years, and later entered the government. He served as the director of the bureau and the county head of the county under the jurisdiction of Jiangzhou.

Shen Ruping is a very funny person, and he joked as soon as he sat down: "I was on a business trip in the United States at the time, and I was called back to China by the municipal party committee several times. "Me? Don't be like Hua Zixian, who was arrested as soon as the plane landed. But after thinking about it, I didn't make preparations before going abroad, and I didn't have much money on me. Even if I absconded in fear of crime, I probably won't be able to hide for long." Hey, bit the bullet and came back. In the end, I realized that it was a false alarm, and most likely the city asked Jianghua Group to inject capital."

Shen Ruping's joke made the atmosphere relaxed.Next, he and Lin Shengfeng had another polite talk about being in the same boat through thick and thin, and then chatted about their next work plans.

After the meeting, Shen Ruping said that he would host a banquet for Lin Shengfeng and his party. He also said that several vice presidents of Jianghua Group would be present, and he would take this opportunity to let the executives of both parties get to know each other.

After coming to the private room of the hotel, the two introduced the executives of their respective companies.When Shen Ruping introduced Su Jin, the deputy general manager of Jianghua Group, Fang Yubin blurted out: "Isn't this Teacher Su? When did you come to Jiangzhou?"

Su Jin smiled slightly: "Hello, Yubin! I have lived in Jiangzhou since I was a child. I left Shanghai and went back to work in Jiangzhou half a year ago. I know you work in Rongding. Just now I was wondering if you would come over today , I didn’t expect to meet you.”

The name Su Jin sounds like a man, but in fact it is a gentle and delicate woman.Su Jin's father is from Shanxi. He went south to work in Jiangzhou and settled here in the future.In order to place nostalgia, I gave my daughter a boy-like name.

Fang Yubin and Su Jin met on the university campus in Shanghai.When Fang Yubin was studying for an MBA course, Su Jin was a teacher in one of the courses.Although in terms of age, Su Jin is only three years older than Fang Yubin, but he is already the youngest professor in his university.

Su Jin looks charming, but he is a little reticent.In private, her classmates call her "cold beauty".Last semester, after finishing the course taught by Su Jin, Fang Yubin never saw this "cold beauty" again.Unexpectedly, he had already left the university campus and became the deputy general manager of Jianghua Group.

Today's Su Jin is still so glamorous, with wavy black hair, a straight Qiong nose, fragrant cheeks with reddish cheeks, and a pair of moon-like eyebrows on an oval face.A set of light-colored business attire brings out a shrewd and capable workplace temperament.

Lin Shengfeng and Shen Ruping were a little surprised: "Do you know each other?"

Su Jin said: "When I was teaching at the university last year, Yubin was in my class for an MBA course."

Lin Shengfeng joked: "With such a beautiful teacher, Yubin must be very attentive in class."

Shen Ruping also said with a smile: "Su Jin is an excellent talent that we have spent a lot of effort to poach from Shanghai. Ordinarily, people look down on us with this salary. The main reason is that she grew up in Jiangzhou and has a lot of experience here. Feelings. Her father is an old leader of Jiangzhou, and was the chairman of our CPPCC."

"Mr. Shen, don't put a high hat on me." Su Jin looked a little shy.

When Fang Yubin learned that Su Jin was a child of a high-ranking cadre, his understanding of the "cold beauty" deepened.In fact, Su Jin in real life is not high-profile at all. He often rides a bicycle to class and takes a lunch box to the cafeteria at noon.But why does it make people feel cold?Maybe it's because of the special family background, the arrogance is planted in the bones, and it doesn't need to be publicized at all, so that people around can notice it.

While everyone was joking, Shen Ruping called the waiter and asked for the hotel's Wi-Fi password.Before the waiter could speak, Lin Shengfeng said, "LYP82NLF."

Shen Ruping was quite surprised: "You have been here before? How did you remember the password so clearly?"

Lin Shengfeng said solemnly: "One time when I went to the hotel for dinner, I asked the boss for the Wi-Fi password. The boss said LYP82NLF, and I said it was hard to remember. But the boss said it was easy to remember. It was 'a bottle of Lafite in 32000'. I read it" I came to a bottle of Lafite in [-]. While entering the password, the waiter asked if it could be opened? I said yes. There was a bang, and the waiter smiled and said, "Lafite in [-], [-] Yuan, it has been opened for you.' So, I have always been impressed with this code."
