Haishi Financial Center

Sun Li stands in his office on the 37th floor of the Globe Tower, overlooking the view behind the floor-to-ceiling windows: the night view of the financial center is unobstructed at his feet, where hundreds of international banks and financial institutions are gathered, and is seen as a replica of Wall Street in the sea market.

The night is getting thicker, the lights are on, and the city that never sleeps is dotted with more and more color, rows of high-rise buildings, busy street scenes, colorful nights... From this height, these well-dressed "financial nouveau riche" and "social elite" are just as small as busy ants.

"Once upon a time, a friend who studied animals told me that ants would look for the road with the strongest smell left by their kind, which is very similar to people, we are smart when we know that a stock is making money, and everyone sees that everyone else is crowding towards this road, and they are all squeezing to it. Until it dies. Sun Li didn't turn around, and said to Zhang Luoyan, the assistant behind him.

With many years of professional experience, Zhang Luoyan has long been accustomed to Sun Li's opinions from time to time, which are either profound or unclear, so she didn't say anything when she heard Sun Li's "nonsense", but still repeated in a very calm tone: "Mr. Sun, everyone is already waiting for you outside." ”

Sun Li turned his head, looked at the secretary who had been with him for more than a year, and showed a helpless smile: "Okay, I know." ”

He pushed open the door to his office and stepped out, greeted him with thunderous applause.

Sun Li, aged 35, is the managing director of Red Maple Capital.

Sun Li is not tall, and his height of 172 still looks a little short even in the sea market, where there are generally many southerners, but now no one dares to underestimate such a small person, and no one knows that such a thin body contains such a terrifying ability.

Seven years ago, he was still an unknown little person on the financial street, working from 9 to 5 every day, busy all day, but one day suddenly came to work, jumped to Sequoia Capital and rose all the way, in just five years, from an ordinary researcher to the position of managing director, managing more than 10 billion hedge funds, becoming a pivotal figure in the financial center, and the scenery was unlimited for a while.

At the beginning of this year, Sun Li, who had never touched the primary market before, suddenly switched to venture capital, and no one in the investment and innovation circle was optimistic about his move at first. Even if he was able to call for wind and rain in the secondary market before, to use an inappropriate analogy, the primary market is Tmall, the secondary market is salted fish, and the Shanghai Composite Index from 6100 to 1600 points is already "magnificent" in the secondary market, but it is only "unfazed" in front of the primary market.

But unexpectedly, just yesterday, the news came, Sun Li contributed to the historic merger of two large domestic life service websites, after the merger, the new company valuation has reached 15 billion US dollars, and Red Maple Capital officially became the largest shareholder of the company, and there is news that the new company will be listed in the United States soon.

Behind this, the man who made these two life service websites that had been red-eyed before be able to shake hands and make peace, and the man who drank and exchanged a glass of wine was Sun Li, who had just entered the venture capital circle, and the transaction volume of more than 10 billion was jaw-dropping.

The previous disapproval instantly turned into shock and admiration, you must know that before Sun Li, there were also many investment companies that had the idea of promoting the merger of two competitors in the same industry, but unfortunately they were all over, but I didn't expect Sun Li not to make a move, and he could make such a big noise as soon as he made a move.

Now who doesn't know that this upstart in the financial circle can turn the world upside down with one hand, and Red Maple Capital specially held a small celebration ceremony for Sun Li tonight.

Sun Li walked out of his office, and everyone stood up to applaud him. The researcher sees him as a role model, a goal to strive for, and dreams that one day he can call for wind and rain like him; The fund managers looked at their bosses, the corners of their mouths unconsciously turned up, thanks to the huge profits that Sun Li brought to the company, this year's year-end bonus is estimated to be multiplied several times, and they applauded even harder when they thought of this.

Shen Bin, the managing partner of Red Maple Capital, stepped forward and patted Sun Li on the shoulder: "Well done!" I heard the news in the United States, and as soon as I got off the plane today, the phone was flooded, and they were all here to ask about you! ”

Although Sun Li knew that there was a lot of water in Shen Bin's words, he still smiled at Shen Bin half-truthfully: "It's better to be taught by the master." But in that case, can you make an appointment to talk about me as a partner? ”

Shen Bin laughed: "It took me fifteen years from a trader to my current position, you are my apprentice, even if the blue is better than the blue, but if it takes me less than half the time to become a partner of the company, where will my face be?" Please, please, since you still call me a master, you can save me some face. ”

Sun Li smiled at Shen Bin, he already knew where Shen Bin's old fox was willing to let go so easily, but he didn't continue to entangle, anyway, he had already arranged everything secretly, and he didn't expect Shen Bin's nod.

I only heard Shen Bin knock on the goblet, raised the glass full of champagne, and said to everyone: "Come, let's congratulate Mr. Sun together, and hope that Mr. Sun will take us to the next level together!" ”

“cheers!” Throughout the large office, the crowd raised their glasses and burst into jubilation.

Employees of the Administration Department not only prepared champagne towers, but also ordered coffee breaks from the Ritz-Carlton Hotel next door, from macarons to Valrhona chocolate cake, from scones to avocado California rolls, which were staggered and decorated in a birdcage-like table, which looked exquisitely clear and even more attractive when lit up.

Shen Bin took advantage of the fact that everyone rushed up to eat dessert, and whispered to Sun Li: "Come to my office later, I have something to tell you." ”

Sun Li nodded clearly, didn't say much, the two staggered away, he just picked up the wine glass brought by Zhang Luoyan and took a sip, he felt a buzzing vibration in his trouser pocket.

Sun Li put the wine glass aside, took out the phone, and found that it was an extremely unfamiliar number.

After hesitating, he avoided the crowd and walked to the stairwell around the corner to find a secluded place to answer the phone.

"Hey, who's that?"

An hour later, Shen Bin sat in the office and frowned impatiently, he pressed the call button on the table, and instructed the secretary outside the office: "Ask Mr. Sun to come to my office." ”

However, a moment later, Shen Bin suddenly heard the screams of his female secretary coming from outside the office. Shen Bin naturally knows his secretary, Feng Yiling, who is Chinese New Year's Eve one year old today, is by no means a good-looking vase, she has been a secretary by her side for eight years, since she came, all the documents she handled are neat and tidy, and there is no mistake in arranging what she does, and Shen Bin's salary for her is naturally much higher than that of ordinary administrative staff, and even the same as a few "general" characters in the company. When did such a capable woman see her gaffe to such an extent?

Shen Bin frowned slightly, and he already had some bad premonitions in his heart.

He quickly got up and walked out of the office, walking towards the place where Feng Yiling screamed, it was Sun Li's office!

Hearing Feng Yiling's scream, everyone else in the office also ran over, Shen Bin pushed away the crowd and walked into Sun Li's office, and saw Feng Yiling's eyes glazed and his expression was stunned to stand aside, seeing Shen Bin coming, she opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word, just pointed out the window with trembling hands: "Sun... Mr. Sun..."

Shen Bin didn't have the patience to listen to Feng Yiling's words, walked directly to the window, looked down, and saw Sun Li's body twisted into an extremely strange posture and fell on the street of the financial center, with a pool of dark red blood flowing from the side. More and more people on the side began to exclaim, and many pedestrians gradually gathered on the street.

There is no need for the doctor to announce it, Shen Bin himself knows that if Sun Li jumps from this height, even the immortals will be difficult to save.

He couldn't help but curse secretly: shit! Now that's the problem...
