Chapter 5 Gambling 3
5. Stretch until the end and then laugh
Qin Fangyuan has been back from the Boao Forum for Asia for a week, Zhang Jiahong can't hold back, and he has found Qin Fangyuan several times and wanted to ask if the financing matter has been finalized, but he swallowed back the words when he came to his mouth. She saw that Qin Fangyuan was also a little sluggish, and she couldn't bear it, a woman's heart still had to be careful.
It was about to get off work that day, Zhang Jiahong touched up her makeup, trying her best to hide the wrinkles crisscrossing her face. The years are not forgiving, people reach middle age, although the charm still exists, but the beautiful years die early, and they can no longer be recovered. She also found that she had not rested well during this time, the color of her eye circles deepened, and even her husband would sigh when he looked at her inadvertently, which made her feel cold.
At this time, a rapid mobile phone rang suddenly, she took it out of her bag and took a look, and immediately her heart beat faster - the call was from Tony Xu.
"Mr. Zhang, our investment review committee has agreed to invest in your company. Tony Xu understated, I don't know if he deliberately acted so calm.
Zhang Jiahong is different, she wants to jump. She said to Tony Xu: "Great! Thank you for your support, we will live up to the expectations of our shareholders!"
Tony Xu's tone gradually warmed up: "Mr. Zhang, we will be a family in the future, and the family will not speak two words." To put it bluntly, we are grasshoppers on the same line, sharing weal and woe. ”
"Yes, yes! Of course, we are in the same boat. Zhang Jiahong hurriedly agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Jiahong went to knock on Qin Fangyuan's office, but there was no response, so she ran back to her office to call Qin Fangyuan and tell him the news.
Qin Fangyuan couldn't hold it back, like a child: "Mr. Zhang, I said it, whoever is tight to the end will have the last laugh, we win!"
Qin Fangyuan was in Lao Zhao's taxi and was about to go back to his residence. It's been almost a month, and Qin Fangyuan is wandering around, deliberately forgetting about financing. Maybe I'm tired of shopping, and I've been so well-behaved these days that I'll go home after work.
Qin Fangyuan said: "Next, I will sign the contract, go through the change procedures, report to the commerce department and the foreign exchange department for approval, and then go to the industry and commerce to go through the registration." ”
Zhang Jiahong is most concerned about when the money will be in place, and Qin Fangyuan has already understood it clearly: "It is estimated that it will be two or three months." ”
"How could it be so long?" Zhang Jiahong listened, and his heart sank.
"It takes about 20 working days to apply to the commerce department for approval, which is still under the premise of smoothness; once approved, the other party will make the payment, and then verify the capital and register with the foreign exchange department; and finally go to the industrial and commercial department to handle the change of shareholders and capital increase. ”
Qin Fangyuan knew the company's financial situation, and he comforted Zhang Jiahong and said: "During the approval process, we will ask the other party to provide a bridge loan in advance, which is relatively fast." ”
At the end of the call, Qin Fangyuan did not forget to remind Zhang Jiahong: "Mr. Zhang, this financing was a successful success, and please keep me in mind about it." ”
"Of course I'm thinking about it, how can I not be thinking about it!" Zhang Jiahong became angry when she heard this, and almost scolded. I haven't seen Qian Ying'er yet, but I know that I am worried about my little interests, and now I am born in the 80s, alas!
Qin Fangyuan asked Lao Zhao to turn around and go to Shi Wenqing. Qin Fangyuan didn't directly tell Shi Wenqing what the news was on the phone, only told him not to leave and wait in the office.
Shi Wenqing was flirting with a beautiful woman on Weibo, and a beautiful writer born in 1987 sent a private message on Weibo: "Are you coming over tonight?" Shi Wenqing replied: "You tired me to death last night, I'd better rest first." "There was a crying expression on his face immediately.
Shi Wenqing saw Qin Fangyuan coming in, so he pulled him to read their private messages and chat. In this kind of thing, Shi Wenqing is far from being defensive against Qin Fang, and there is no firewall. This is a special case, the two have been classmates for many years, a few pounds and a few taels, and they know each other.
Shi Wenqing said: "I've been playing for a few months, I'm tired of it, and I don't plan to pay attention to her anymore." I recently watched a post-90s generation, just came back from abroad, and it's been hot these days. ”
Qin Fangyuan had something to do today, forcibly turned off Shi Wenqing's computer, and was about to speak, Shi Wenqing hurriedly made a stop gesture: "Don't be full of benevolence and morality to me, I can't stand preaching." Let's talk about you first, what's the matter? Look at you, you're in a hurry. ”
Qin Fangyuan cleared his throat, solemnly said, word by word: "The investment of Sentai Fund has been finalized, and the investment review committee has passed. ”
"No way. I also communicated with them a few days ago, a total of five votes, of which three votes disagreed, the key is that the LP with the largest investment disagrees, how can it be passed today?" Shi Wenqing didn't believe it, "They notified you?"
"It's to inform our company, Mr. Xu's call to Mr. Zhang, I thought you knew in advance. ”
Shi Wenqing stood up suddenly, rushed in front of Qin Fangyuan, and smashed Qin Fangyuan's chest with a fist.
"What are you doing?"
Shi Wenqing grinned: "30 million US dollars, what kind of concept is this?! The first financing project I led in Huaxia Zhongding was completed in a blink of an eye!"
He counted the commissions and bonuses, and when he thought about it, he danced a little.
Qin Fangyuan was also very happy, he began to think about this harvest in the taxi when he came, and even thought of going to NASDAQ to ring the bell in the near future. After all, they are two young men who have not yet reached their prime, and the joy that can't be held back blooms between the eyebrows.
After being happy, Shi Wenqing remembered that he had to call the investment director of Sentai Fund, Wang Xiuyi, who made Yu Yan speak a Northeast dialect from time to time. Director Wang said on the phone: "Yes, it was finalized at 2 o'clock last night, and it came according to the terms negotiated by the two parties. Congratulations, buddy!"
Shi Wenqing heard the meaning of his words: "I won't treat my brother badly, don't worry, we know how to do it." Going out at night? I know a few good places that you are satisfied with.
Qin Fangyuan glared at him fiercely from the side: "Talk about business." ”
The director heard that there was still someone there, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Shi, I don't mean anything else, just congratulations." You've done a lot of work for both of us, and it's been a lot of hard work, and that's my job, so I can't thank you for it or not. ”
Shi Wenqing also became serious: "By the way, when we chatted on the phone the night before yesterday, didn't you say that there was basically no play? Isn't it that those two key LPs don't let go? Why did they suddenly make a 180-degree turn?"
"Actually, I wondered. That white American LP Jock is the key vote, and there is also a Chinese American who is also a key vote, and they carry a lot of weight. We are a unanimous vote system, and our domestic GPs have passed, but as long as an LP does not pass, it will not work, and I don't know why all of a sudden it will turn around. At about 1 o'clock last night, we ran back to the company for a conference call, and they didn't have it early in the morning, so the meeting was specially held for this, and the big boss made a decision. ”
"What are the origins of those two LPs?"
"The white LP Jock came to the Boao Forum for Asia not long ago, and the other is a Chinese-American, who has a lot of background in the Chinese investment circle, and his surname is Yu, which is our largest LP. Director Wang felt that he had said too much, so he immediately stopped, "You should ask us Mr. Xu when you have the opportunity to do so, I don't know too much." ”
"Surname Yu?" Qin Fangyuan, who was on the side, began to ponder when he heard this surname. Shi Wenqing put down the phone and interrupted Qin Fangyuan's train of thought: "Let's go, let's go to the Hot Mansion in the evening to celebrate." ”
Shi Wenqing started to clean up, he turned over the pockets of his shirt and pants, the air ticket, tore it off, the accommodation **, took it out and put it in the drawer, the attraction ticket, tore it off, and then picked up the mobile phone and began to delete the text messages.
Qin Fangyuan urged him: "What are you doing? Let's go!"
"Don't worry. You can't take this evidence home, the one in my house is better than a monkey, and if she doesn't destroy the evidence, she will have to toss with me again, and it will be foolproof to tear it up. ”
Qin Fangyuan remembered that Shi Wenqing still had a fixed girlfriend at home, the princess of a county magistrate in her hometown Hunan. What a thing!
Qin Fangyuan teased him: "Whoever makes you not idle on a business trip, no one wants to be left behind, and whoever wants to take advantage of it?"
Shi Wenqing said: "Weibo, there is no way, it's good." I wanted to change my ways, but they wouldn't let me, what can I do?"
After getting into the car, Shi Wenqing seemed to remember something, and turned his head sideways to Qin Fangyuan, who was sitting in the co-pilot, and said, "Isn't it the same when you return to China?" Yu Yan is interesting to you, and you kid is estimated to have succeeded, but there are many of them, what kind of quality is that!"
Broken by Shi Wenqing, Qin Fangyuan smiled awkwardly.
The car was halfway through, and Shi Wenqing threw out a sentence coldly: "How is Qiao Mei now?
Which pot is not opened and twisted, why can't this guy find it happy at the critical moment? Qin Fangyuan's mood immediately fell to the bottom, like entering a cold pool, cold and stiff, and it was difficult to move an inch.
6. Drop the bag for safety
Qin Fangyuan decided to move. One weekend afternoon, Qin Fangyuan and Yu Yan came back from climbing Xiangshan, and when they opened the door, they heard a noise in the room.
Qin Fangyuan thought that he had encountered a thief, so he immediately pushed Yu Yan out of the door and let her go up one level, he was worried that if he ran into a tough thief, he would hurt Yu Yan if he made a move.
Qin Fangyuan was bold, he rushed into his bedroom, but saw an unbearable scene: Shi Wenqing and a woman were in bed**. Both of them were frightened when they heard the door being pushed open, and the woman immediately pulled the quilt to cover her nakedness, letting out a familiar scream.
Shi Wenqing saw that it was Qin Fangyuan: "Why did you run back, didn't you climb Xiangshan, and you came back so soon?"
Qin Fangyuan hurriedly exited the room, and said very embarrassedly, "You should inform me when you come over!" He was even more annoyed that Shi Wenqing and the others still used Qin Fangyuan's bed, which was the gentle bed between him and Yu Yan, and he was a little unhappy when he thought of this.
At this time, Yu Yan, who had been listening outside, pushed the door in, and when he saw Qin Fangyuan standing in the living room, he asked, "What's going on?"
At this time, Shi Wenqing got dressed and came out, and the person who came out with him surprised Qin Fangyuan again.
It turned out to be He Jing.
Shi Wenqing didn't seem to feel anything wrong, and He Jing cast a resentful look at Qin Fangyuan, and there was a cold air in that gaze.
Shi Wenqing broke the embarrassment: "Let's eat Shancheng hot pot together at night!"
Qin Fangyuan turned his head to glance at Yu Yan and asked for her opinion. Yu Yan shook his head, Qin Fangyuan also felt inappropriate, how embarrassing!
He Jing lowered her head and was silent.
After they left, Qin Fangyuan said to Yu Yan, "I'll move out next week." ”
When the agreement was formally signed, Zhang Jiahong, Lao Yan, and Tony Xu all came to the company.
Zhang Jiahong asked Shi Wenqing: "After the agreement is signed, how long will it take for the money to arrive?"
Shi Wenqing said: "About three months." "This amount of foreign investment needs to be approved by the Ministry of Commerce, and then approved by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, which takes a relatively long time, and the money can only be used after the capital verification is completed.
"Why is it so long?!" Zhang Jiahong felt cold when he heard it.
Lao Yan understood what Zhang Jiahong meant, and he took the initiative to say to Tony Xu: "Mr. Xu, it takes a while to apply for approval, and the company's expansion cannot be subject to capital. Now is a good time, and it is also the time for the company to vigorously do business, I suggest, can your company borrow a sum of money to help the company pass the customs?"
Tony Xu is also a battle-hardened veteran, and of course understands that these approvals are all procrastinating. It's just that he is more strange, Lao Yan is also an investor, and he is a shareholder of record, so he can help the company in the form of a bridge loan, and they have just signed an investment agreement, which is still subject to the approval of the commercial and foreign exchange regulatory authorities, which means that the investment has not yet been finalized, so how can they lend money to the company?
He didn't express any unhappiness: "I have to go back and discuss this matter with the LPs, we don't have a RMB fund, I'm afraid there is a certain degree of difficulty." ”
Zhang Jiahong waited for them to go back to negotiate, and then asked Shi Wenqing and them to handle a series of approval matters.
In the end, Tony Xu did not lend money to Mingming Media, and he came over to explain: "LPs don't want to participate in too much company management, so they are purely an investor and a shareholder, and the company does not have RMB, so it takes the same amount of time to apply for approval when borrowing US dollars." ”
Zhang Jiahong knew that there was no drama when he heard it, and completely gave up the idea of borrowing funds. She began to use her husband's resources and ran in the business and foreign exchange departments herself.
In less than a month, the commerce department approved the application for capital increase, and the foreign exchange department also made a record registration.
