The project proposals of the six investment banks were all collected, and He Gang held a small meeting in his office, including Yin Bai, Yin Zibo, Ling Ran, and four of himself - but Yin Bai did not say a word from beginning to end because he was not very literate.

He Gang couldn't help but fur in his heart: This is the average education level of the top management of our company, the three directors - junior high school. The crown is managed so wisely.

Ling Ran didn't know what He Gang was thinking, so she just analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the six investment banks in detail: "Judging from the project proposal, there is little difference in the estimated funds that can be raised by the IPO of the crown by various investment banks. Between 12% and 14% of our company's current assets, considering the uncertainty of the market, the difference of 2% between them falls within the same amount of funds, that is, there is no difference. This used to surprise me because in the United States, there is a much wider gap in the valuation of market capitalization among investment banks than in China. Mr. Ye explained to me on this point that the purpose of writing this is to achieve the purpose of passing the meeting, and whether it is high or low will attract the suspicion of the Securities Regulatory Commission and bring unnecessary trouble. Therefore, this estimate does not have the purpose of real prediction, how much money our company can raise after listing depends on the publicity and roadshow momentum at that time, and whether the major funds give face, in short, in the United States, this is the most important reason for customers to screen investment banks, in China, it is completely useless"

"Now we compare other aspects: Cinda compared with the other five investment banks, the biggest advantage is for our company, wood carving furniture and even the entire furniture industry, very understanding, this point to help our company go public, and the importance of the IPO inquiry is undoubted, only to understand our company, understand our industry, in order to better assist our company to go public, from the preparation of financial statements to the daily corporate governance, from taxation, customs to employee social security, all aspects, full rectification, to meet the requirements of the CSRC, and at the same time to the marketing of our company, convincing, convincingto give investors the confidence to sell our shares at a good price. ”

Ling Ran hesitated: "However, the defects of the faith industry are also obvious, and they cannot be corrected - the strength of the faith industry is not enough. Since its establishment less than two years ago, Xinye Company has only a dozen employees in total, and there has not been a successful case so far. ”

Ling Ran turned the project proposal of Xinye to the chapter on the core competitiveness of investment banks: "Everyone, please see, the following examples are all cases of the core technical backbones of Xinye in other investment banks, of course, this shows that the professional level of these technical backbones is quite good, but this does not explain the overall level of Xinye. I have to question whether Xinye has the ability to complete the transformation and listing of our company, because they obviously lack human resources, do they really have enough professionals to help our company carry out various rectifications, and the dozen or so people in his company are busy enough to deal with the documents and materials of the Securities Regulatory Commission, not to mention that they have other companies' projects at the same time."

"In addition, the most difficult and critical step in China's listing is to pass the meeting. Whether a company can pass the meeting sometimes does not depend on whether the company's business substance and approval materials are complete. No matter how strong the company is, no matter how perfect the application materials are, sometimes, if you can't pass it, you can't pass it. So far, Xinye has not had any projects that have been approved, which proves that it has the ability to help customers pass the meeting."

Ling Ran glanced up at the other three and sighed: "Anyway, the facts are here, the 6 investment banks, except for Xinye, are all big investment banks, Xinye's "Project Proposal" is indeed well written, Mr. Ye is indeed admirable in terms of business ability and professional level, but the others are not bad, at least not worse than him, if not better than him." But he is a small company that has just opened, and everyone else is a big old investment bank. The other companies, in terms of manpower, material resources, qualifications, and the relationship with the Securities Regulatory Commission, are much stronger than his company."

Yin Zibo almost jumped up: "Brother Ye has his father-in-law here, and he can guarantee that we will have a meeting." ”

"What about the evidence? The mouth says that it will be promised, but when the time comes, who will we go to? Ling Ran said.

"His company has only been in operation for less than two years, and he can't give a certificate. But who his father-in-law is, we all know, this is not a problem. Yin Zibo said that he was so confident that he seemed to be talking about his father-in-law.

Ling Ran glanced at him: "If you can't give a proof, it means that there may be a problem." Who knows if his father-in-law's road is open or not. Do we want to be a test subject? But in other investment banks, there are countless successful cases that are really there, proving that the road is open. ”

"Brother Ye's road is also open," Yin Zibo was angry.

"Why does it have to be passed? Just because he has an old man? The IPO has been done for two or three years, and his father-in-law is 58 years old this year, who knows when he will take a back seat, and who knows if people will buy him at that time." Ling Ran rolled her eyes, "My mother is 59 this year, and she took a back seat two years ago, okay?" ”

"Well, 58. A senior expert like Mr. Ye's father-in-law should be considered in the prime of life. He Gang hurriedly said, "Ranran, your mother is a woman, so she took a back seat early." The statutory retirement age is five years earlier for women than for men. ”

"Okay, even if his father-in-law will still be in style by then, but don't forget. This is not Mr. Ye's father-in-law, but Mr. Ye's ex-father-in-law. The ex-father-in-law and the ex-son-in-law, what kind of relationship is this, even if it is a relationship, it is the most unstable relationship in the world. Who knows if Mr. Ye will find another woman to marry in the past three years, or his ex-wife will find another man to marry. At that time, he couldn't even enter the door of his father-in-law's house, it didn't matter if he couldn't enter his father-in-law's house, we couldn't pass the door of the Securities Regulatory Commission, and we would be miserable. ”

"No, Brother Ye will remarry his wife soon. Yin Zibo patted his chest and promised.

Ling Ran looked at him strangely: "How do you know? It's like you're going to marry a wife tomorrow." Immediately, immediately, immediately means that it will happen in the near future, but it hasn't happened until today. If it doesn't happen, it may not happen, what if it never happens? You go and marry his ex-wife home? We don't have no choice, there are clearly other investment banks here, why don't we hang ourselves on Mr. Ye's tree. Why don't we follow in the footsteps of our predecessors and take the road smoothly, but we have to find another way, and believe in the ex-father-in-law and ex-wife of which family to take unnecessary risks. ”

Yin Zibo was annoyed: "Ling Ran, you are deliberately finding fault." ”

Ling Ran was unhappy: "Why should I deliberately find fault with him, if he doesn't do this project, what benefit will I get? Will you give me a bonus? It's you, your father holds half of the shares, and you haven't figured out where you should sit on your ass." ”

Yin Bai touched his forehead and glanced at He Gang, crying and laughing.

"Brother Ye's father-in-law will definitely be able to help, but you have to say that you can't help; Brother Ye will obviously remarry his wife, but you want to say that people can't get back married. You didn't mean to find fault, what?"

"How do you know that people will definitely remarry? Why do they divorce if they remarry? Okay, I won't quarrel with you. You tell Ye Ling to take out the marriage certificate. Since he said that he was going to do it immediately, then give him three days to turn his former father-in-law into a real father-in-law. As long as he shows us the marriage certificate, we trust that his father-in-law will help us through the meeting. ”

Yin Zibo was stunned: "You, you are messing around." ”

Mr. Ye's ex-father-in-law is so crucial, so important, and so decisive on the issue of whether our company can be listed. Mr. Ye didn't give us any assurance on this question, can we hand over our company to him? ”

He Gang and Yin Bai were incited by Ling Ran to become suspicious. He Gang asked: "Zibo, what is the relationship between Mr. Ye and his ex-wife, is there any problem?"

"No problem, no problem. Yin Zibo hurriedly said.

"How do you know?" Ling Ran glanced at Yin Zibo, "You're going to listen to the corner?"

Yin Zibo opened his mouth and was speechless.

Ling Ran won a great victory, rolled her eyes at the ceiling, cocked her chin, and ignored him.

He Gang scratched his head: "Ranran, you mean, Xinye Company can't do it, we should choose another one?"

Ling Ran hurriedly straightened her posture: "No, uncle." My job is to provide you with analysis and advice and decide what you do. I'm here to make my personal point that I don't recommend Cinda because it's a small company that's not very strong, it's not very strong, it's not very strong, I don't know if it can provide us with the services we need, and it doesn't have any evidence to convince us that it will get us through the meeting. I think that when we have a choice, we will first consider other investment banks that are more powerful and qualified. ”――

Yin Zibo personally rushed to Ye Ling's company and relayed Ling Ran's words to Ye Ling.

Ye Ling almost jumped up: "Ling Ran, you stab me with a knife." Are you going to take revenge on me like that?"

"What?" Yin Zibo wondered.

Ye Ling was stunned for a moment, knowing that she was speechless: "Well, it's nothing." Ling Ran, she has an opinion about me personally. ”

Yin Zibo was still looking at him suspiciously: "Revenge? Brother Ye, you said revenge." Why did Ling Ran want to take revenge on you?"

"No, it's a miswording. I mean, she probably doesn't like me very much and is prejudiced against me personally. ”

Yin Zibo looked at Ye Ling and shook his head: "Well, this, not really." I know that she is a person, although she is a little lacking in brains, but she is really not a small family. Brother Ye, I think although she doesn't speak in a tone, but if you think about it carefully, it is not unreasonable. When will you remarry your wife, there are many dreams at night, hurry up and remarry, so that we can all rest assured"

At this time, Ye Ling really jumped up: "You have something wrong." This is my private matter. ”

Yin Zibo was unhappy: "Brother Ye, what are you talking about." Yes, this is your private matter, but your private matter is related to our company's business. Isn't it just for the sake of your father-in-law that your father-in-law can let us have a meeting? Ling Ran is right, you should show us the marriage certificate and give us a guarantee. You have this obligation, we have this power. ”

Ye Ling's mind calmed down suddenly: "Zibo, you have a certain point. But I really can't remarry my ex-wife right away."

"Why? She doesn't want to? Then you should get her right. Yin Zibo was annoyed, "It's a matter of business, this kind of thing, you should do it first." We're all men, and the big picture is important, and you should know that. For the sake of your career prospects, you should hurry up and remarry your wife. ”

"It's easier to talk than to fart. You're fucking fooling around with working girls outside every day, but you're telling me to marry a wife based on the overall situation, why don't you marry a wife who can make your ancestors glorious. Ye Ling was on fire: "Lao Tzu doesn't sell his art." I'm fucking running an investment bank, not a duck shop. ”

Yin Zibo didn't expect Ye Ling to be so angry, but he was a little stunned, and grabbed his hair: "Ling Ran said that there is no difference between investment banks and brothels. ”

Ye Ling smiled bitterly: "Well, it's true that there is not much difference. Ling Ran is right now-I didn't negotiate. ”

Ye Ling thought about it, opened the safe, and showed Yin Zibo a secret agreement: "Marriage certificate, I really can't get it, if you want to change investment banks because of this, I have nothing to say." But I'll show you something more valid than a marriage certificate, my company's capital contribution contract. I will only show you this contract, you must keep it a secret for me, and you can only let Mr. He, your father, and Ling Ran know, and no one is allowed to leak it. ”

Yin Zibo looked at it: "Oh, no wonder. ”

Ye Ling put it away: "Now I believe that my father-in-law will go all out to help the company get over the meeting." ”

Yin Zibo nodded.

Ye Ling said: "Okay, I have replied to the most critical question. Another question is about whether the company has enough manpower. You go back and tell Ling Ran, she doesn't know the situation in China, because in the United States, investment banks don't need to train enterprises, in China, not all training is done by investment banks, no matter how big the investment bank is, it is impossible to be equipped with so many professional departments, and the investment bank only plays the role of an intermediary. During the IPO process, we will bring in accounting firms, law firms, and professionals from various other industries to train and rectify the company. ”

"I am one of the first batch of professionals in China to enter the investment industry. When I started working in investment banking, China was still in the process of planned economic transformation, and everything was designated by the state, and the personnel directly assigned by the Audit Bureau of the State Administration of Taxation cooperated with us, so the contacts in my hands were not known to Mr. Ling, who was comparable to ordinary investment banks. Zibo, don't worry. Ye Ling was full of confidence.

Yin Zibo happily went back, thinking that the problem was all solved. But talk to Ling Ran. Ling Ran gave him a blank look: "Zibo, do you know it?" The secret contract between Mr. Ye and his father-in-law cannot see the light of day? That's why he repeatedly told him not to let others know. ”

Yin Zibo disagreed: "I know, whether we can see the light or not has nothing to do with us." What we want is that his father-in-law will definitely help us get through the meeting, and we don't want to expose it. ”

However, he and his father-in-law were able to sign this secret contract. He believes that his father-in-law will definitely contribute, and his father-in-law believes that he will definitely share half of the profits to him, what is the basis for this? It is the relationship between Weng and his son-in-law, otherwise, the two of them have a conflict, and his father-in-law will leave his company alone, or he will not give it to his father-in-law when he earns money, and they will not be able to take this contract to court, unless the two want to be arrested by the Securities Regulatory Commission, so this contract is actually tied to his marriage. Ling Ran said.

"Then you should rest assured that he will definitely remarry his wife. Yin Zibo asserted, "What level is Brother Ye, it's not a piece of cake to coax a woman to change her mind." ”

Ling Ran was silent, and said later: "Actually, if he wants to remarry his wife, you should feel something." ”

Yin Zibo was dumbfounded.

Ling Ran sighed: "If Mr. Ye hadn't left Ping An because of the matter of raising a little sister, with his level and eloquence, there should be no doubt that he would have risen to MD with an annual income of 10 million before 40." We don't know the dispute between him and his ex-wife, let's look at those superficial phenomena, his ex-wife beat up the child for more than 6 months, for a woman, it is not so easy to pass, and he, his wife could have helped him cover up the past, but his ex-wife went to the public security bureau and did not bail him, so that he lost his job and bright future, an ambitious man like Mr. Ye, this is probably not an easy thing to let go. ”

Of course, he resigned and left Ping An to open his own company at the behest of his father-in-law, which was also another opportunity. We can trust the relationship between him and his father-in-law, but the marital problems between him and his ex-wife are really unknown until he shows us his marriage certificate. For the average man, business is business, marriage is marriage, no matter what the relationship between him and his wife is, it does not prevent us from doing business with him. It's just that things are complicated here in Mr. Ye, we have to make a deal with him, and we have to consider his marital status. ”

"Mr. Ye is very capable, he thought that his wings were stiff, and he thought that his wings would grow harder and harder, and he could fly. I am afraid that when the time comes, his father-in-law will be angry and pluck out his hair and turn him into a bare chicken. If it doesn't affect our listing, it has nothing to do with us if he doesn't change his skin. But here's the problem, since his father-in-law can help us go public, then sure, his father-in-law can make us unable to go public. ”

Ling Ran looked at Yin Zibo: "We don't want to be a joint victim of his marriage." ”

Ling Ran continued: "As for the other human resources issue, don't take me for a fool. Yes, in the IPO process, many professional institutions should be introduced to package the company, but the most important due diligence and training restructuring are the responsibilities of the investment bank. ”

Yin Zibo was speechless.

Yin Zibo told Ye Ling what Ling Ran said again, and persuaded Ye Ling: "Brother Ye, in fact, human resources or something, it's still a trivial matter, and your relationship with your father-in-law is really a big deal." Don't let us work for two or three years, your father-in-law will not refuse to help you at that time, but deliberately want to get you stuck, then we won't capsize in the gutter. Why don't you hurry up and remarry your wife, give us a reassurance. If you want you to take out your marriage certificate, I will promise to do the project for you. ”

Ye Ling's eyes were red: "Mom, Ling Ran, you deceive people too much, you know that I won't remarry my ex-wife, and you deliberately force me like this." You're so fucking good at manipulating. Zibo, don't listen to Ling Ran, the project has something to do with whether I remarry or not. She's going to pull it together. ”

Yin Zibo was surprised: "Brother Ye, you really won't remarry your ex-wife?"

Ye Ling responded vaguely.

Yin Zibo muttered: "Then Ling Ran is really right." Your relationship with your father-in-law is really not strong enough. ”

Ye Ling was shocked: "That's not the case, my relationship with my father-in-law and my relationship with my ex-wife are two different things." Hey, I've already said it, my father-in-law owns half of the company's shares, you think about it, he eats on his salary, a bank executive, so much money passes under his nose all day long, and not a single cent is his own. If I don't remarry his daughter, shouldn't he earn more money for his daughter? ”

Yin Zibo thought about it, what Ye Ling said did make sense, but what Ling Ran said also made sense. Yin Zibo had a headache
