I let out a scream in my heart, scolding myself for talking to Linda for too long yesterday and oversleeping as a result.

Lu Aihua himself was dissatisfied with me because of the shares, and now that I am late to meet him, he has no choice but to withdraw immediately, so I washed my face in a hurry, tidied up my hair, got dressed and went out. I met Linda in the lobby on the first floor, and I took a car with her to the nearby Wangjing SOHO, but fortunately, the place where the two of us lived was not far from their company's Beijing branch, and we rushed to their company's front desk in about 15 minutes. At this time, Lu Aihua was holding a meeting with colleagues in the Beijing branch, and we still had time.

I let out a long sigh and hurried to the bathroom to get dressed again. Only then did he follow Linda to a small conference room and wait for Aihua to land. About fifteen minutes later, Lu Aihua walked in on time, compared to the last time he saw him, he looked much haggard this time, his whole head drooped, and there were even faintly visible dark circles around his eyes, which was not as complacent as the last time he saw him. His secretary followed, and as soon as he sat down, he yawned and told him to pour a cup of coffee. He looked up at Linda and me, still with his signature smile on his face, and asked me in broken Chinese: "God, how is Qi doing?"

I was a little embarrassed, not knowing if he was asking about the company or my personal life, and turned to look at Linda, but she bit her lip, as if she was also a little nervous. I was about to snicker twice, when I felt Linda kick me under the table, and then I realized that Lu Aihua was sitting opposite me, and I hurriedly said that everything was fine, the company's performance was steadily rising, and my wife was waiting to give birth at home.

"good" Lu Aihua Chinese not very good. It's okay to show off two sentences, but long-term conversations are pure nonsense. Fortunately, I was often with Linda during this time, and she often spoke in a mixture of Chinese and English, so that I inadvertently exercised my speaking well, at least not as lame as the last time I spoke ppt.

After a brief greeting, Lu Aihua officially cut into the main topic of this visit to China. He hopes that Bailu Financial can realize users as soon as possible, realize the company's profitability, and further expand the company's market scale. I explained the company's philosophy to him, and took out the document to introduce the company's profit direction and goals to him, Lu Aihua nodded after listening, and then showed the real hole card, saying that he hoped that GS could invest in Bailu Financial and get five percent of the shares. Speaking of which, Lu Aihua talked to me about how awesome GS is, and said that GS's shareholding was the result of his lobbying. He has a very close relationship with the global senior president of GS, and the acquisition of shares by GS will bring qualitative changes to Bailu Financial. However, no matter how fanciful he may be, it is of little use to me. If Linda hadn't told me about the relationship between GS and D yesterday, I might have been tempted, but now I'm left with doubts.

Because of D's shareholding, the company's share composition has now become, I monopolize 40 percent, D 30 percent, Guan Zhilin holds 8 percent of Lao Zeng's shares, and the rest are all scattered in the hands of some small shareholders and company executives. If GS invests, it accounts for 5% of the shares. That would mean that GS and D would have 35% of the shares of Bailu Financial, and my shares would be diluted to about the same size as theirs. In this way, I will lose the position of the largest shareholder, and D and GS will most likely eat away at Bailu Financial little by little.

Therefore, no matter how Lu Aihua blows the sky, I will not move, but on the surface, I will be surprised and admired, and I will praise him again and again for the sake of the company. In fact, the founder of a company often does not get much of a stake in the end. And there is no harm in handing over the shares to GS and D, and the worst estimate is that I work hard, and finally wait for the company to go public and make a wedding dress for them. This kind of thing is not uncommon at home and abroad, but if you think about it carefully, it is not a loss, after all, if there is no financial support given by people at the beginning of the company's creation, this market may be swallowed up by other companies, and the company will not even survive

However, GS and D are not the same. Last night, Linda told me that if Bailu Finance really fell into their hands, it was very likely that our group of founders would be kicked out of the company, or forcibly set aside by them, and then they would really not even have the right to speak. Moreover, at the same time as GS and D acquired us, the Beijing branch also acquired many P2P companies with similar qualifications as us, and they seem to be playing a big game of chess, and we are insignificant pieces in this chess game. However, I can't just watch the company that Bai Lu single-handedly created become someone else's stepping stone. So anyway, I can't ask for GS this investment.

So, after I nodded dozens of times, Lu Aihua looked at me excitedly and asked, "Then do you agree to meet with the general manager of GS China?"

I shook my head indifferently and said that our company is not short of funds now, and there is no need to introduce more investors, which will disrupt the normal operation of the board of directors and add a lot of trouble. I refused, making Lu Aihua look at me with his mouth wide open in shock. Immediately, the Yankee laughed and said I was so funny. I smiled and said I wasn't kidding you.

A meeting ended in this strange atmosphere, when I came out of the Beijing branch of D, Linda said to me that Lu Aihua must be very dissatisfied, I said that no matter whether he is full of dissatisfaction, the object of Bailu Financial refinancing must not be GS and D, and there is so much money invested by D, and there is no money-burning war recently, so there is really no need for financing in the short term.

Linda flattened her mouth and was noncommittal.

I asked her if she had any other jobs, and if not, I would go back to Shanghai tomorrow.

"Huh. She put a signature sneer on her face and ordered me: "Lu Aihua will stay in Beijing for a few days, and we will be in Beijing for a few days." ”

I turned my head to look at her, looked at her from head to toe with a bold gaze, and said to her for the first time: "You want to please your boss, I have no problem after following people's butts, but why are you pulling me, I am not your company, what secrets does your company really have, I'm afraid you have to hide it from me."

Linda glared at me angrily, and I asked her with a light smile and cynicism on my face: "Eh, Linda, seriously, what position do you have in your company, you can go wherever you want, you can't be free all day long, no one cares about you, ask Lu Aihua to play with it, tsk"

"What do you mean," Linda frowned.

"It's not interesting. I hurriedly explained, and just left.

In the evening, when I was getting ready for bed, Linda knocked on the door suddenly, and when she opened the door, she came in and said that she wanted to talk to me about work, and I agreed, but she said she was thirsty within five minutes of sitting down and asked me to make tea. I boiled a kettle of water, but she took out a bag of tea leaves from herself and said to brew this, brew two cups of tea and continue to talk about work, Linda didn't say anything about it for a long time, and when the tea could be drunk, she picked it up and said to me, very expensive tea, you drink some and try it.

I took a sip and felt a little bitter. She said that this was the taste, and it happened that I was a little thirsty, so I didn't think much about it, and drank half a cup with my neck up. As a result, as soon as I finished drinking, I felt sick to my stomach, but she was talking about work in Balabala, and I thought she would be able to finish it in a few minutes, so I couldn't help but listen to her. As a result, she told me about the things that I didn't mess with for a long time, and I sat there with a red face, and when I couldn't hold it back in the end, I didn't care if I was embarrassed or not, I quickly got up and ran into the bathroom as if I was flying, and squatted on the toilet, which was half the night. Linda left my room with a cold grunt as soon as I ran into the toilet. And I finally understood that a woman must not be offended, otherwise she will give a bubble senna to drink. Of course, this is what Linda told me afterwards, I had diarrhea until my legs were weak, thinking that she had given me some laxatives

It wasn't until the next day that I realized that Linda didn't go back to Shanghai because there was an investment summit of a VC company in Beijing, and she was originally going to take me to this summit and introduce some people to me by the way, but I collapsed from diarrhea, so she had to go to the summit by herself, and deliberately sent a lot of photos in the circle of friends to anger me.

In fact, I was almost fine at noon the next day, and after having some lunch in the hotel cafeteria, I walked aimlessly through the streets of Beijing alone. The last time I came to Beijing, it was when I was married. At that time, some people accompanied me and stayed in a hotel, and I was so flustered that I didn't have time to appreciate the streets and alleys of Beijing. But now, am I in the mood for hundreds of text messages on my phone, but I haven't replied to any of them. Before I knew it, I was back at the hotel where we had stayed, and back to the intersection where I was wearing a suit with flowers in my hand and she sent me to the wedding. Time does not freeze forever in that moment, and now when I return to this place, I feel that things are different, even though it is only half a year apart.

In the afternoon, Linda sent me a message asking if I had a dinner in the evening and would like to take you to meet someone

If I reply to her, you won't give me senna again

Not linda succinctly replied.

I promised, she sent me the address, I asked her what kind of meal it was, and she didn't reply.

At seven o'clock in the evening, I took a taxi to the address given by Linda, and when I arrived at the place, I found that it was a private restaurant that was not open to the public, and I had to apply for membership if I wanted to enter, and Linda was waiting for me at the door. When she saw me coming, she took me in, and on the way I asked her who she was eating with, but she still didn't say. It wasn't until I actually met the person Linda was going to show me that I was completely dumbfounded. Because I know this person, and I have a deep friendship, when I saw her, I was frozen in place, a little dumbfounded.

The man had a kind smile on his face, and he was kind like his mother.

That's right, the person Linda took me to see turned out to be the widow of Zhao Jianrong, the vice president of IU who was killed by Ye Linglong, Lin Danxia

At that time, I also went to the airport with Chen Bailu to pick her up, because Zhao Jianrong's affairs went back and forth, but after I came out of the police station that time, she disappeared after sending me home, and I was never contacted again. Later, the police redressed Chen Bailu Zhaoxue, and the cause of Zhao Jianrong's death was identified as Wang Jianguo, I thought about contacting her and telling her, but I couldn't contact her, but I didn't expect to meet her here today

I was overjoyed to see her, and immediately exclaimed: "Sister Danxia." ”

Lin Danxia looked at me calmly with a warm smile. After a brief moment of excitement, I realized that it was Linda who had asked me to come, and I looked at the two of them in some surprise, not realizing what the relationship between them was.

At this time, Lin Danxia said: "Sit down"

I had to sit across from her, and Linda sat next to me.

The waiters at the restaurant began to serve the food, eating in old Beijing. After the waiters had withdrawn, Lin Danxia looked at me and said, "I made an appointment with you." ”

Her words made me feel like a monk in the second place.

Linda next to me explained: "Sister Lin is the executive vice president of GS Singapore branch, I used to work next to Sister Lin, and then transferred to the Hong Kong branch for a year, and this time I was transferred to Shanghai. ”

"What" I was taken aback.

Lin Danxia smiled and said to Linda: "Eat first, don't talk about this." ”

"What's the matter, you two have known each other for a long time," I asked as I looked at Lin Danxia and Linda suspiciously. Soil enclosure sequence.

Linda smiled and said, "Didn't your company have an angel investor who invested 12 million in your initial capital. ”

Linda's tone paused, and she said proudly: "That person is Sister Lin." ”

My eyes were as wide as bells, staring at them, my mind full of bewildered shock and unjust surprise. Chen Bailu told me that the company has an angel investor who does not want to reveal his name, and if he hadn't invested 12 million, the company would not have been able to open at all. But I never imagined that that person turned out to be Lin Danxia.

At this moment, I didn't have any thoughts in my mind, and my whole head was empty, as if it had been short-circuited.

It wasn't until three minutes later that I reacted, looking at Lin Danxia, there were a thousand words in my chest, but I didn't know where to start, but Lin Danxia picked up the chopsticks and said calmly: "Eat first, and I'll give you a detailed explanation later, we have time tonight." ”
