TK Securities is far from being qualified to be among the ranks of first-class brokers, but as a member of non-bank financial institutions, its headquarters building on Huaihai East Road is also magnificent.

The staff are like hard-working little bees, and before eight o'clock, many people are already pouring into the building like a tide, and as the delicate children of this financial capital, no one dares to slack off even on Monday mornings.

However, a closer look at the pale and puffy eyes and faces of most people shows that they are still indulging in the joy of the weekend, and the first working day after the weekend makes them look like electric toys with a dead battery.

Some people are studying the latest economic situation and news overnight, some are hangovers, and some are tired of the glitz and nothingness of this city from the bottom of their hearts, but they can't escape it.

Chen Chang, who has never been left behind, squeezed into the elevator, looking at her face reflected from the stainless steel elevator wall, her makeup was exquisitely cleaned up, there were no flaws and tiredness that could be seen at a glance, and her ruddy and slightly upturned lips revealed a bit of confidence and satisfaction;

I have not been in Dongjiang Securities for a long time, and I don't have any outstanding qualifications and family background that can be said, but I am young and beautiful, and I was promoted to project director.

She could still turn her head, pretending to be surprised but enthusiastically greeting her female colleague who was disdainful and speculating: "Manager Zhao, you also came here so early?"

"The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, if I don't work harder, I don't know how to be shot to death on the beach by Manager Chen! But Manager Chen is still working so hard, it really surprises me, how many front waves do you have to shoot to death before you are willing!"

Zhao Yanmin, as a master's student of Xinhai University of Finance and Economics, is one of the few female researchers who joined the investment banking department of Dongjiang Securities, and has been working in Dongjiang Securities for eight years, during which she also worked hard to study for a doctorate, and is currently only serving as a project director.

How could she be happy when she saw that Chen Chang, who graduated from Xinhai University of Finance and Economics with a bachelor's degree and had no technical content in a commercial company in the first two years, officially joined Dongjiang Securities for more than a year and was just familiar with various businesses, was also promoted to deputy manager-level project supervisor?

"Look at what Manager Zhao said, what is not a wave, so that others will listen to it and think that Manager Zhao has relied on waves in Dongjiang Securities all these years - then I won't dare to get too close to Manager Zhao in the future!" Chen Chang was most targeted by Zhao Yanmin in the past few days, and he responded with a smile at the moment.

“...... Manager Chen is really good at laughing!" Zhao Yanmin gritted his silver teeth and laughed back.

"Manager Chen, Manager Zhao, no matter if it's a wave before or after, as long as it's enough waves!" a male hippie smile came up and said.

"Who is smiling with you?" Chen Chang and Zhao Yanmin glared at the man at the same time.

"Ding!" The elevator door opened, and Chen Chang and Zhao Yanmin squeezed the man aside at the same time, and walked to the workstation with high heels.

“...... Chen Chang!"

Chen Chang sat at his desk, just went through the work plan to be completed this week, and was about to browse the latest financial news in Europe and the United States last night, when he saw Ge Jun walking in with a black backpack, standing there like a lion scanning the spacious office hall as if inspecting his territory, and finally looked at Chen Chang.

After Chen Chang stood up suspiciously, Ge Jun ordered,

"You will hand over all the work at hand to Zhao Yanmin, and come to my office in a quarter of an hour!"

At this moment, countless pairs of eyes poked out from their respective workstations, and they staggered in surprise and confusion above the hall of the office.

Although the proprietary department of TK Securities is not as numerous and hierarchical as large brokerages, there are also many secondary departments in charge of specific affairs.

Chen Chang is only a deputy manager-level supervisor who has just been promoted to the market investment department of the second-level department, and he has not even officially done the project independently.

Could it be that she really has an inexplicable relationship with Boss Ge?

However, even if there is something that needs to be taken care of, it can be "entrusted" to the minister of the market and investment department, and there is no need to be so blatant, right?

Ge Jun never paid attention to the questioning eyes of others, and walked straight to his office after being instructed, and he didn't seem to have any intention of explaining to the person in charge of the market investment department.

"So much work, you have to work hard, Manager Zhao, you are alone!" Although Chen Chang said that he didn't know what Ge Jun was looking for her, Zhao Yanmin, who had the opportunity to call Yin and Yang weird, would not miss it, and sent this week's work plan by email after dividing it by two, and did not forget to say with a thorn, "If Manager Zhao feels hard, you can apply to Minister Zhou for an intern who does chores to help you." ”

"Hehe!" Zhao Yanminpi smiled.

"Hehe!" Chen Chang replied to Zhao Yanmin with a hypocritical smile.

"Mr. Ge, do you have any work to do with me?" Chen Chang knocked on the door of Ge Jun's office.

"A few days ago, I asked you to write an analysis of Taihua Group, and the report you wrote, I took the time to read it yesterday, and it was okay," Ge Jun motioned to Chen Chang to close the door of the office to avoid the sound from coming out, and said on stilts, "Next, we Dongjiang Securities will formally set up a special merger and acquisition fund, and you will assist me in the main preparatory work......

"M&A funds, for Taihua Group?" Chen Chang was stunned.

"Yes, it is for Taihua Group, and the main competitor is Huamao Capital, and the corresponding situation is qualified to be found. Ge Jun said.

The news of the buyout fund should be kept as confidential as possible during the preparatory stage, otherwise it is difficult to say whether it will cause uncontrollable variables.

However, the stock price of Taihua Group is still leaking wildly, and it is difficult for the vast majority of ordinary people to secretly buy some Taihua shares after knowing this secret merger and acquisition plan.

As a result of the night discussion at the Jinhong meeting, Tianyue, Xinhong and Dongsheng, as the initiators of the M&A fund, and Dongjiang Securities, as the issuer, first undertook the preparatory work, and then Xinhai United Bank and Xinhai Gold participated as the assistant party to provide part of the credit funds, and finally negotiated with several institutions that held the stock pledge rights of Taihua Group.

How to take each step and the extent to which the information is diffused at each step are very particular.

Ge Jun is already very strict with his subordinates, but he doesn't dare to say that Dongjiang Securities can put an end to insider trading and rat traps.

However, the specific work still has to find someone to do, and because the merger and acquisition is mainly Tianyue, if the merger is successful, Tianyue will also be responsible for sending management to Taihua Group, considering Chen Chang's personal relationship with Cao Mo, Ge Jun thinks that she is currently the best person to follow up the project within Dongjiang Securities.

After being promoted, Chen Chang also looked forward to a project that would be independently responsible for follow-up one day, but she only dared to look forward to a small trust project of tens of millions or one or two hundred million yuan in the early stage.

The proprietary department of Dongjiang Securities has long been doing practice makes perfect, and a set of fixed processes has been formed between different secondary departments such as issuance, finance, auditing, legal affairs and investment research.

For the establishment of M&A funds for listed companies, not to mention Dongjiang Securities, even the whole of China may not be able to have one in a year.

Regardless of the follow-up asset restructuring plan, the scale of the M&A fund involved in the early stage is expected to be between 1.5 billion and 2 billion yuan, far more than the vast majority of TK Securities' single projects, and the complexity is far beyond that of ordinary trust fund projects.

Hearing Ge Jun briefly talk about some situations, Chen Chang was a little stunned.

Even if she was helping Ge Jun, she doubted that she could do it, and at that moment, she found that she still had a lot of blind spots in this regard.

Chen Chang also knew that the opportunity was rare, so she didn't dare to show her timidity in front of Ge Jun, so she walked back to her workstation with some materials handed over to her by Ge Jun, and ignored the confused eyes of Zhao Yanmin and others, and after a while, she figured out a little bit of a clue, she picked up her mobile phone and dialed Cheng Xi:

"Cheng Xi, do you know what Cao Mo has been doing recently?"

"Huh, what is Cao Mo doing?"

The phone was a little noisy, and Chen Chang didn't know if Cheng Xi was on the way to the unit or where he was at this time, and then he heard Cheng Xi talking to someone on the other end of the phone.

"What are you doing recently to make Chen Chang bump into me, don't dodge your eyes, Chen Chang has called me to complain!"

"Ah, Cao Mo is by your side, he's eating breakfast with you, you haven't gone to the unit yet?" Chen Chang was startled.

............

............

Ge Jun usually doesn't smile, and if there are some things he doesn't understand, Chen Chang would rather go to Cao Mo to ask for clarification than face Ge Jun's questioning or distrustful eyes.

She carried a bunch of materials, carried a laptop, and held a mobile phone, and hurried to the breakfast shop in the north lane of Yinguang Building, where she saw Cao Mo sitting opposite Cheng Xi and Yu Jing, holding a bowl of spicy soup to drink;

It is hard to imagine that this somewhat lazy young man in front of him, after injecting capital into Dongsheng Real Estate, secretly launched a secret acquisition with an amount of up to ten or twenty.

"What time is it, and you're still eating breakfast slowly?" Chen Chang asked as he put down his things.

"It's not nine o'clock yet, we don't have to be strong women, just step on the point and get to the office!" Yu Jing said lazily, "By the way, what bad thing did Cao Mo do and you bumped into it? Cao Mo wanted to sneak over just now, and I joined forces with Cheng Xi to press here!"

"I'm not afraid of crooked shadows, it's useless for you to slander me!" Cao Mo said righteously.

He said so, but his heart was still a little empty.

Set up an M&A fund to compete for a controlling stake in Taihua Group from Huamao, and if successful, the M&A fund will actually control Taihua Group during the transition period, which may last for two to three years.

The parties are specifically responsible for following up on the M&A fund, and they also need to continue to be responsible for following up the rectification of Taihua Group and the subsequent asset restructuring.

This also means that they will need to maintain close daily contact with each other on a long-term basis during the transition period, and it will even be necessary to set up a dedicated joint office to co-operate.

Cao Mo originally thought that Tianyue would be in charge of the relevant work by Song Yuqing, but he didn't expect that on the side of Dongjiang Securities, Ge Jun would arrange for Chen Chang to follow up on this matter, so he was a little dumbfounded.

Chen Chang and Yu Jing have a good relationship with Cheng Xi, they have occasional contact with Song Yuqing and Zhou Han, and Cao Mo is still worried, at this time, if he sticks to the original arrangement, during the transition period of the next two to three years, it is possible for Chen Chang to maintain daily close contact with Song Yuqing, isn't he looking for awkwardness for himself?

In fact, even if Song Yuqing on Tianyue's side is not responsible for this matter, as long as Chen Chang follows up on this matter on behalf of Dongjiang Securities during the transition period of the next two to three years, Cao Mo is afraid that she will see a lot of things if she is smart.

"I won't talk nonsense with you," Cao Mo still looked calm and unashamed, and said, "Tianyue has a very important transaction entrusted to Dongjiang Securities, and Boss Ge must have asked Chen Chang to follow up on this matter." However, Tianyue and Dongsheng will be handed over to Shen Ji to be specifically responsible for this matter, you know that Shen Ji's fiancée is relatively small-minded, so I am worried that Chen Chang will follow up on this matter for a long time, and Shen Ji's backyard will catch fire......"

Cao Mo did not hesitate to sell Shen Ji first.

Thinking that he had taken the initiative to talk to Shen Ji, Chen Chang also felt a little embarrassed, and said: "Then did I ask Mr. Ge to push this matter?" I thought it was an ordinary trust fund at first, but I didn't expect it to be an M&A fund. I was a little confused before I thought of calling Cheng Xi, thinking that bank mergers and acquisitions lending business is more common, Cheng Xi, you may be able to find a case here that can be used for reference. ”

"Don't listen to Cao Mo's scare, what is there to be afraid of people talking about the contact between men and women at normal work? Cao Mo is deliberately scaring you," Cheng Xi glanced at Cao Mo and said to Chen Chang, "It's not easy for you to have this opportunity, try to do it first, and if you mess up, move Cao Mo out and top the thunder, and Ge Jun can still fire you?"

"Why am I deliberately scaring Chen Chang? That's what I said," Cao Mo said weakly, "There are very few related cases in China, but there are more in Europe and the United States." When you prepare the materials, you only need to pay attention to the differences between domestic and foreign company laws and securities laws. I have prepared some foreign language materials over there, Chen Chang, you go with me to copy them back, so that you don't have to look around. ”

Cao Mo swallowed dates, ate two beef fried dumplings, and accompanied the three girls out of the breakfast shop.

He sent Cheng Xi and Yu Jing to Yinguang Plaza, thinking that he would take Chen Chang back to Tianyue headquarters to get materials later, but saw Lu Jianchao and Lu Yan accompany a middle-aged man to walk down from a black Mercedes-Benz business car that was parked in front of the north tower of Yinguang Plaza.

Seeing that the middle-aged man has white temples, wears gold-rimmed narrow-framed glasses, looks white and clean, and his face is somewhat similar to Lu Jianchao and Lu Yan, Cao Mo doesn't have to think about it, he knows that this person is Lu Jiancheng, who he has never had the opportunity to meet, and he is also the real head of New Taihua Investment and Taihua Group.

However, the once invincible Lu family brothers, at this moment, they are like bereaved dogs, with deep bags under their eyes, and their faces are full of exhaustion, as if Lu Jiancheng's sideburns are whiter these days, and Lu Jianchao is also much older than the last time he met in front of Dongsheng Building.

Cao Mo glanced up at the gilded signboard of Xinhai Union Bank in the north tower of Yinguang Plaza, which is the headquarters of Xinhai United Bank.

Even though Xintaihua Investment has already mortgaged its 2% stake in Xinhai United Bank, Lu Jiancheng seems to be still a director of Xinhai United Bank.

Even if he didn't rely on his terrifying intuition, Cao Mo could guess that the Lu family brothers and Lu Yan appeared here at this time, coming from Xinhai United Bank.

Chen Chang has just collected and studied the information of Taihua Group in the past few days, and the acquisition fund she is responsible for following up, the first step of the establishment is to fight for the controlling stake of Taihua Group with Huamao Group.

"I still want to rush to Zhiyun Lake in the morning to play with the car, but I didn't expect it to be lively and beautiful here," Cao Mo immediately changed his plan and accompanied Cheng Xi and Yu Jing to continue to walk to the north tower of Yinguang Plaza, where the headquarters ......of Yinguang Commercial Group and Xinhai United Bank are located.

Since Chen Chang is responsible for following up and promoting the preparation of the acquisition fund on behalf of TK Securities, it is even more unlikely that there will be excitement at this time.

There was no need for Lu Jianchao and Lu Yan to say anything, but from their extremely complicated stunned looks, Lu Jiancheng also instantly figured out who the young man who was walking towards Yinguang Square with three young women across the road, so he stopped and waited for Cao Mo and them to walk over:

"What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet Mr. Cao for the first time on such an occasion!"

Cao Mo put his hand in the pocket of his jacket, glanced at Lu Jiancheng's outstretched hand, pouted and said, "What a coincidence, Chairman Lu also has a girlfriend who works in Yinguang Plaza?"

The corners of Lu Yan's eyes twitched twice, but he couldn't hold back and didn't say anything after all.

At this time, he had completely understood in his heart that the Lu family was already a soup dog and a toothless dog, and no matter how much he thought about "baring his teeth", he would not have the slightest deterrent power, it would just make people laugh in vain.

Lu Jianchao couldn't even mention his interest in talking to Cao Mo.

"Taihua's situation today, is what you want to see, Mr. Cao?" Lu Jiancheng asked in a relatively calm hoarse voice, staring at Cao Mo.

"Do you want me to tell the truth?" Cao Mo asked with a smile narrowing her eyes.

"Nothing should hit us now, Mr. Cao, but it doesn't matter. Lu Jiancheng said.

"If you want me to tell the truth, that's not enough!" Cao Mo hit "haha" and said tauntingly, "Of course, it doesn't matter if I hope or not, Han Shaorong will definitely not give you a breath, I just need to wait and see." ”

"New Taihua and Taihua Group have all fallen into the hands of Han Shaorong, and the projects we have built on the south bank of Conero Lake in recent years have fallen into the hands of Han Shaorong, and then he has a large influence in West Africa with these projects and the Catelo Iron and Steel Plant, which is what you want to see?" Lu Jiancheng asked.

"Chairman Lu, what is the use of telling me about these things that I have and don't? Even if I know that Han Shaorong is not good at stubble, and I will not give up on being good, but I must be patient to watch Han Shaorong beat you to death with a stick-Chairman Lu rest assured, I still have the patience to watch the excitement at this point," Cao Mo said with a smile, "I just don't know, you came here today, what is the excitement for me to see?"

Without speculating for more than half a sentence, Lu Jiancheng pinched his nose and said a few words to Cao Mo, except for being stabbed with blood, he had nothing to gain, so he could only stride towards the north tower of Yinguang Plaza, not giving Cao Mo a chance to taunt them again.

"Xintaihua Investment holds 2% of the shares of Xinhai United Bank, but it has long been mortgaged to Xinchang Steel Trade Group, and Xinchang Steel Trade Group has a close business and financial relationship with Xinhai United Steel and Huamao Group - that is to say, Xintaihua Investment's shareholding in Xinhai United Bank has actually fallen into the hands of Han Shaorong, what are they doing at the headquarters of Xinhai United Bank?" Chen Chang asked curiously.

From these words, it can be seen that Chen Chang has still done a lot of homework on Taihua Group, but Cao Mo did not speculate, and when he saw Cheng Xi, he also looked at it curiously, and said: "At this time, what to guess, let's all go to Li Xiaodong's office to drink tea, don't we know everything?"
