Looking at the phone call from the personnel girl, I was stunned for more than 20 seconds before I put the phone on silent and put it back in my pocket, thinking that I would not answer her call in anger. But he hesitated again, but he took out the phone with trembling hands, answered it and put it next to his ear. Wait for her to speak over there.

"Hey" The girl's soft voice came, and she called my name: "Qi Tian." ”

I didn't say a word, but kept my head down and listened to her.

"I'm sorry today, I didn't go to the company because I had an accident when I went out. ”

"Hehe, it's fine. Where are you now?"

"Ah, I'm at home. A little upset in my stomach. ”

"Oh, then you have a good rest. ”

After that, I hung up the phone and picked up my phone to call the backup phone that the wives had at home. This girl has a habit, that is, to get a spare machine to put at the head of the bed, look at things before going to bed at night, and use it as a regular alarm clock by the way. If she's really home, I'll call her on this backup phone, and she'll definitely pick it up. But. Listening to the constant beeping sound on the phone, my hope in my heart became more and more slim, and finally when there was a cold call from inside, no one answered it for the time being, please dial it later, I threw my phone on the bed, changed my coat, ran to the next door and knocked on Linda's door.

Linda opened the door with a mask on her face, but I ignored the hand that dragged her and said, "Let's go, you didn't say you want to talk about work, let's have a good talk." ”

"Hey, you" Before Linda could react, I dragged her into the elevator. In the elevator, she took off the mask from her face and clutched it in her hand, looking at me strangely. It's like saying you're sick

I was embarrassed by her, so I said seriously: "I think I'm going to meet the CEO of your company tomorrow, I don't know anything about him, and I don't know what his interests are, so I want to talk to you more." After all, the last time we met, you only had investment intentions, and this time we met we were a cooperative relationship, and we have to respect each other. ”

I said a high-sounding sentence in exchange for Linda's thoughtful sound.

Sitting down at the café on the first floor of the hotel, I took the initiative to ask Linda questions, and Linda knew everything. Through conversation, I learned that the big fat man who visited our company that day was the vice president of global senior finance of their company, whose Chinese name is Lu Aihua, and da told me that Lu Aihua was very interested in the project of Bailu Finance. It is hoped that Bailu Financial will be the first P2P trading software in China. He read the weekly work report I wrote every week, and he also commented on it. Tomorrow, after Lu Aihua's plane lands, he will immediately go to D's branch in Beijing, and after a short meeting, he will meet her and me. I asked her again, what is going on inside Company D, do you have to send an employee to be the president secretary of the other company after investing in a project, my words made Linda look at me coldly, saying that she is an employee who has just been transferred back from abroad, and this project must be done well, otherwise there is no way to gain a foothold in the company. I caught her words. Ask her that is to say, it is you who make the decision to be the president secretary of our company linda a cold smile appeared on her face, and said not salty or indifferent, yes

Hearing her say this, I immediately wanted to scold my mother in my heart, and asked again and again, the so-called weekly work report that must be handed in is also the preface technique of encircling the soil that you privately requested.

Right

Nima, I was a little angry at the time, but I couldn't show it in the face of Linda, and after my face was blue and white for a while, I could only whip her in silence and whip her in my heart, so that she could only sigh and smile on the surface. No way, after all, Linda is in charge of our project, and if she wants to be promoted in the company, she has to be ruthless to us and show more in front of the leader. Just pity me, I have to accompany her to Beijing on a business trip.

I asked them how big the company is, what kind of business they are mainly doing, and why they are in such a hurry when they invest in our company, and Linda answers them one by one. The parent company of their company is called GS, which is a leading global investment bank, and its main business is related to finance. The head office is in the United States, but there are many branches registered under the head office, and D is one of the best. When they invested in our company, they set up a total of three projects at that time, the first two were Maverick Online and IU, and we joined in later. At that time, the call for Maverick Online in the company was the highest, and they also went to Maverick to do research, and they felt that this company was very good, but there were two reasons for them to give up Maverick Online. The first is that the Maverick company has entered the stage of profitability, and there is no shortage of money or people. The second is that the development direction of Mavericks is not the same as their ideas, and it can even be said that it is a bit contrary, the P2P companies they want to invest in are enterprises that want to really turn their hands over on the Internet, while Mavericks Online is mainly developing offline business. In the end, after the Mavericks were excluded, they chose each other between us and IU. At that time, IU's parent company, Xeon Capital, wanted to sell all of their shares in IU, but IU was in decline and the whole company was dead. At that time, the user war between us and Ruoxiong Capital was in full swing, and Linda happened to be in charge of researching our company, so she strongly recommended our company to become an investment target. Just at that time, Lu Aihua was going to come to Shanghai, Linda took the lead in front of Lu Aihua, and took Lu Aihua to our company for research, Lu Aihua was very interested in the performance of my speech ppt, and for various reasons, it successfully contributed to us to stand out in this investment war and become a legend of a dark horse.

After listening to Linda's story, I looked at her in amazement. When D first invested in us, I always felt weird, I didn't expect that there were so many things behind the scenes. And our company was actually compared in front of IU, I don't know how happy it is.

The reason why Chen Bailu founded Bailu Finance in the first place was to one day kill IU and regain his own position. Unexpectedly, the investment war of D actually sounded the clarion call for us to return to IU. Of course, the most important reason why it can be perfected so quickly is that Linda is there to help. I know very well that for an investment company like theirs, the most important thing for an investment plan to be implemented depends on whether someone is willing to stand up against public opinion.

I was amazed, and Linda's eyes were filled with adoration. Looking back, if it weren't for Linda's timely arrival, our company's capital chain at that time, despite Lao Zeng's investment, would have supported three or five days, ten days and half a month at most, but with an aircraft carrier like D, it would not be a problem at all to last. However, the question is back to the original point, why should D invest in this industry, this industry is not mature, last year there were more than 7,000 P2P companies in the country, more than 5,000 closed down in the past year, and there are rumors everywhere that people have run away with funds, and most of the investors have lost confidence in P2P companies. At this time, D entered the market, after listening to my words, the corner of his mouth with a signature sneer explained to me, no matter what, online financial management will definitely become the mainstream product in the future, now it is only in the embryonic stage, most of the people do not realize this, and when the people really wake up, the cash storage energy of the top P2P companies will surpass the central bank Of course, it will have to be the development of the Internet for a few more decades.

I was embarrassed, but she showed a sly smile and asked me, do you know how many P2P companies GS has invested in around the world

"How many," I asked stupidly.

"More than 200"

"What"

I was taken aback, but Linda said that the number was steadily increasing, and I asked her why GS did it, and she said that in the future, I lowered my head and felt that my brain cells were a little insufficient. However, if you think about it carefully, you can understand that when foreign companies invested in Tencent and Alibaba, those domestic investors would have thought that the market value of these two companies would exceed 100 billion yuan in the future.

The center of my chest was surging and Linda said something that made me feel cold. She said: "In fact, D acquired your company to slowly eat away all the shares of your company, and after reaching 100% control, let Bailu Financial completely become their wholly-owned subsidiary. ”

"What" I almost jumped.

Linda said coldly: "Be careful, D and GS's methods are very vicious, they are not a group of good investors, if your company really has a future, they will use all kinds of methods to get more shares, so that the company can gain absolute power." Because you give less than 10% of the shares, Lu Aihua is very dissatisfied with this matter. ”

I took a deep breath, a little scared in my heart, but at the same time a little confused, Linda is a person D, she said to me why do I have to do this My puzzled eyes made Linda see through my mind, she stood up after the last sip of coffee, looked at me and said: "I'm just an ordinary investment manager, and I don't have shares in the company, as long as your company doesn't lose money, I won't be punished." ”

As soon as she said this, my doubts dissipated, but then the doubts that came were that D and GS would really slowly eat away at our company as Linda said I suddenly felt a little helpless, I wanted to have money when I had no money, but after I had money, the company was very likely not to be my own. The financial war is a silent struggle for power, and whether I can take Bailu Finance to the end depends on whether I can fight the enemy and successfully stand out in the P2P wave.

Chatting with Linda for more than two hours, I finally returned to the hotel room with a dizzy head, collapsed on the bed and just wanted to sleep, but saw a faint vibration from the mobile phone next to me, picked it up and looked at it, and found that it was full of missed calls and text messages from personnel girls. She apologized to me in a text message, saying that she shouldn't have lied to me, and that she was not at home at the time.

I looked at the time, and it was about an hour and a half after I went down to start calling and texting. That is, she didn't come home until an hour and a half after hanging up, and when she found my missed call on the spare phone, she started calling me. I was thinking about this when the screen on my phone lit up again, showing that Linda was calling me. I turned off my phone, threw it aside, and fell asleep.

At night, I dreamed that I took Chen Bailu, Linda, Feng Shaohui and several veterans of the company's inception to ring the bell on the NASDAQ. There are all of them, but there are no people. When I turned back to look for her, I found her lying in Liao Jun's arms, and the two of them were swimming in the ancient city of Dali, so unhappy. Then, I woke up from my dream, gasping for breath and looking out the window, only to hear the landline phone ringing over and over again.

When I picked it up, it was Linda who called next door, and she said to me anxiously on the phone: "Lu Aihua arrived at the company at ten o'clock in the morning." ”

I was stunned and asked her what time it was.

She said two numbers that broke me: "Ten o'clock"
