Ling Ran repeatedly stated his position to the three shareholders: just not recommending Xinye Company does not mean denying Xinye Company, and his identity is only a proposer, not a decision-maker. No matter which investment bank the three directors choose for the IPO, as the director of the securities department, they will fully cooperate.

He Gang asked: "Ranran, do you think we should consider other investment banks again?"

Ling Ran nodded: "Yes, I think other investment banks are more powerful than Cinda, and the risk is less." ”

"Well, Ran Ran has a certain point, or you have more contact with several other investment banks to see which one is more suitable. He Gang looked at Yin Zibo, "It's just that Ling Ran has more contact and understanding, not that we must change people." ”

Ling Ran began to make frequent appointments with five other investment banks, and Yin Zibo was very dissatisfied.

Yin Zibo sent a message to Ye Ling, and Ye Ling personally ran over to explain to He Gang.

Ye Ling said: "Although the scale of Xinda is a little smaller, we are refined and specialized. We have deeper contact with Crown than other investment banks, and have a better understanding of the IPO launched by our company, which can push Crown shares to a higher price and allow Crown to raise more funds. ”

Ye Ling said: "Because our company is small, Crown is our major project, so we can ensure that our company's main energy and most important resources are used on this project." If you entrust a big investment bank, they have too many big projects in their hands, and their energy is scattered, and they won't go all out. ”

He Gang listened to it and felt that it made sense.

But when Ye Ling arrived in Yin Zibo's office, she quarreled with Ling Ran.

First, Ling Ran objected: "What can buy the stock price higher than other investment banks, pull it down." Other investment banks are larger than you, so they will have more appeal to various brokerages and more influence on various funds. ”

Second, Ling Ran pouted: "Yes, in the past, big investment banks hung very much, knowing that the company was their food and clothing, and they were dragged like stepmothers, but that was in the past." Now, the global financial recession, the major investment banks are under-employed, and a bunch of people are doing that office every day, idle to death. You don't know, and I don't want to think about how many of my classmates and colleagues work in investment banks and brokerages. At this point, I admire Mr. Ye very much, Mr. Ye's company now has more than a dozen projects at the same time, and he is so busy that his peers are very envious. ”

Ye Ling was annoyed: "Ling Ran, do you think the MD of the big investment bank will sit here and endure your cynicism?"

Ling Ran sneered: "Mr. Ye, in the investment bank, who doesn't know, before the MDs get the project, they are as attentive to the company as they are, as long as they wait for the "Sponsorship Agreement" to be signed, it will be time to fall in love and enter the grave of marriage. ”

Yin Zibo hurriedly said: "This, Brother Ye will definitely not, so we should let Xinye do our project." ”

Ye Ling couldn't help but smile: "Yes, as soon as the "Sponsorship Agreement" is signed, this project is the focus of my work. You are already saying that my company is understaffed, and I am afraid that I will have to do a lot of training and rectification. When the time comes, don't look at me. ”

Yin Zibo strongly supported Ye Ling, He Gang supported Ling Ran in his heart, felt that a big investment bank was a better choice, and did not want to anger Yin Zibo, but this was not a trivial matter, He Gang had a headache.

Ling Ran knew that He Gang had a headache, so she had an even more headache.

Ling Ran asked herself again and again: The three shareholders of the other family were not dissatisfied with the letter industry, why should I intervene, and what kind of mentality did I have so stirred? Is it to be conscientious, or is it to take revenge on Ye Ling? If it is to be conscientious, then I should not procrastinate, leave time for Ye Ling, I should immediately recommend other investment banks to the directors; if I am for the sake of Ye Ling, then I am really using my power for personal gain, I should resign now, because my personal inclination will affect the important decisions of the company.

Ling Ran thought about it, mental pressure combined with work pressure, resulting in severe insomnia, working at home until 3 a.m. every day, and getting up before 7 a.m. the next day to prepare for work.

Shao Chengzhi couldn't stand it anymore: "What's wrong with you? Actually, you are not so busy with work, you are creating health problems for yourself." ”

Ling Ran was in pain and told the story: "The vice president has a very close relationship with the CEO of the small investment bank, and now my uncle is very embarrassed. I'm doing that, right? Am I creating infighting in the company, causing trouble for my uncle?"

Shao Chengzhi sighed: "Chinese companies do have complicated relationships. You can't just think in the interests of the company. ”

Shao Chengzhi picked up Ling Ran and carried her all the way to the bedroom: "But you can't go on like this, if you go on like this, the problem can't be solved, and your body will collapse first." ”

Shao Chengzhi buried his head under Ling Ran's crotch and tried to please her, but Ling Ran's attention couldn't be highly concentrated, and he couldn't put his mind away.

Ling Ran was distressed: "My private life has been ruined, it's really fucking worthless for a job." ”——

When the investment bank contracts the project, no matter how big or small, it is all eighteen kinds of martial arts, what shameless things to do, and what to do indiscriminately. Several investment banks tried to use their staggering amount of alcohol to form buddies with Yin Zibo at the dinner table, others tried to bribe the crown to influence decision-making key figures (Ling Ran), and several promised to pay for the project (He Gang).

He Gang was dizzy, and the feedback was sent to myself.

Ye Ling couldn't sit still, came to He Gang, and gave a crown a generous discount.

The fees of investment banks for IPOs include two parts, one is the upfront costs, mainly some labor fees and costs of investment banks to do projects, because investment banks have to contribute and pay various fees, which are not high, generally in the millions to millions, depending on the size of the project. Investment banks can't earn much from this, and they are mainly used to maintain the company's daily turnover. The second is the underwriting fee, which is charged as a percentage of the financing amount, and the general charging standard is 8%, but in fact, the high one is more than 12%, and the low one can reach three thousandths, which is the real source of wealth for investment banks.

Ye Ling originally wanted 8%, and the crown planned to raise 8-10 billion, which means that Ye Ling can earn tens of millions of dollars in this business, of course, the main brokerage company will take nearly half, but the rest is still very considerable.

The crown negotiated with Ye Ling several times, but Ye Ling bit very tightly on the rate, and even Yin Zibo couldn't lower the price. This time, Ye Ling came over, waved his pen, and changed it to 6%.

He Gang was overjoyed, and he was almost about to sign an agreement with Ye Ling on the spot, but he couldn't seem to have seen the world so much, as if he had never seen money. So He Gang dragged it out, at least he had to say hello to Yin Bai and Yin Zibo first.

As a result, when Ling Ran heard this, her mouth flushed, and her eyebrows were overjoyed: "Great, we can use the rate that Mr. Ye gave us to force several other investment banks to lower our prices." Now that the market is so bad, it's a good time to lower prices. ”

Yin Zibo¥&%&&&

Ye Ling was furious: "Zibo, Ling Ran, she is completely selfish and revengeful, she is deliberately trying to make things difficult for me, she"

Yin Zibo was puzzled: "But, Brother Ye." Why does Ling Ran want to take revenge on you? What are you sorry for?"

Ye Ling was annoyed: "I didn't, of course I didn't." ”

"Then she is for Mao?" Yin Zibo was puzzled, "Brother Ye, if Ling Ran is really prejudiced against you, then, take out your skills and take her down." I look at Ling Ran, a little. ”

Ye Ling%%#&&

Ling Ran told Shao Chengzhi about the new progress in the company at home: "My uncle is inclined to give the project to that small investment bank. I don't know what I'm sticking to, but it doesn't have a dime to do with me. Am I a psychopath?"

Ling Ran sighed: "Uncle is very happy, saying that it is because of me that the investment bank gave such a big discount, and saved the company tens of millions of money at once, and he thinks that it is too wise to spend 500,000 yuan to recruit me to return to China." I'm so glad he can think like this, I didn't come back in vain, and I am worthy of my uncle."

Shao Chengzhi smiled: "Listening to your words, it seems that my historical mission has been completed." ”

Ling Ran smiled bitterly: "The historical mission has not been completed, but it can finally be explained." ”

Shao Chengzhi smiled: "I want to resign, right?"

Ling Ran sighed: "It's a little, but, I'm embarrassed to speak, after all, I've only been in the class for less than three months, and I haven't finished the task of returning to China, not to mention, I think I'm just making trouble in it now." Why should I do this? Actually, they don't have to listen to me at all, if they're satisfied, they just decide."

Shao Chengzhi sighed: "If they can decide, why do they spend 500,000 yuan to call you here? Since you are here, you should be loyal to your duty." Anyway, your responsibility is to advise the decision-makers, so you tell them which one you think is the most appropriate, tell them why you are making the suggestion, and your job is done. The rest, none of your business. ”

"But I'm really annoyed now, on the one hand, I think I'm not wrong, that small investment bank is not the best choice, all its advantages are not in the iron relationship between the CEO and the vice president, aside from this, how can it compare with the big investment bank. But on the other hand," Ling Ran couldn't go on.

"What's wrong with the other side?" asked Shao Chengzhi.

Ling Ran couldn't say: Another point is that I don't understand my own mentality in this matter, whether I am choosing the best investment bank for official business, or for selfishness, I am in Ye Ling. I really should have resigned, but now, how can I speak

"I feel that my presence is not conducive to the company's problem solving. Ling Ranwen said in a crepe manner, but she was so aggrieved that she wanted to cry.

Shao Chengzhi was surprised: "Are you so unhappy, then this job really can't be done anymore." ”——

Ye Ling came to He Gang again and put forward a suggestion that He Gang never expected: Xinye signed a "Memorandum of Understanding" with Crown, and before Crown was listed, except for a little necessary travel expenses and declaration fees, Xinye did not ask Crown to charge any upfront fees, as compensation, in terms of underwriting fees, Xinye will charge 6% commission within the expected financing amount, and 8% commission will be charged for the excess part.

Ye Ling smiled and said, "Mr. He, now you believe that our company can guarantee that the crown will be listed." If the crown can't be listed, then our company will have to pay millions of upfront costs. Our company has been open for less than two years now, and it is a difficult and difficult business to fight. Mr. He, you are a person who has come over, you must understand what this fee means to me, so you can fully trust me, I just don't want my life, and I have to let the crown go public. ”

Ye Ling made this decision after thinking about it for a few sleepless nights, the commission has already been reduced once, and if it is lowered again, it will affect his profits, not to mention, and he will not be able to achieve his own goals, because Ling Ran will only use a lower rate as a means to force other investment banks to reduce prices, and Ye Ling knows that there will definitely be a more shameless investment bank with a lower rate - only a little lower, but it will definitely come out. The only thing available now is to post money, this trick can only be made by Ye Ling, because the company is his own, he can have the final say, the other few are all large state-owned investment banks, and MDs do not have this power.

But in this way, Ye Ling's own funds will be very tight, and in the two or three years of IPO for Crown, the company must use the money earned from other projects to fill this part of the deficit, and Crown is a key project, Ye Ling must allocate the company's best resources to Crown, and the cost is very considerable

If you really can't make money, then sell my house. Ye Ling thought.

Ye Ling's own money is now all invested in the company, and the house he lives in is still when he went to Beijing to study at university, and his parents bought it for him considering that he will develop in Beijing in the future, which is the only fixed asset he has in hand. Ye Ling has dated countless girls there, and the one who came the most was Ling Ran, of course, Ling Ran.

Ye Ling secretly smiled bitterly at herself in her heart: I am really the end of a strong crossbow, Ranran, you are ruthless enough.

He Gang was so happy that he was going to be stupid, in this way, Ye Ling would definitely go all out, and even if the crown could not be listed, the crown itself would have no loss.

He Gang told Yin Zibo and Ling Ran the news, thinking that the other two would be like himself, cheering. As a result, Ling Ran frowned: "Uncle, what does Mr. Ye mean by this? If he wants to tell us that he will break the kettle and ensure that our company can pass the meeting, then his personal determination can only show his work attitude, not the evidence that our company wants him to let us pass the meeting smoothly." The SFC won't care if he confiscates our upfront fees and lets us pass. This wishful thinking of his is not a symbol of strength, it has no meaning at all. ”

"If he means to save our company money, then from the latter 2% difference, he has completely earned back, I'm afraid it's more than that. What a real benefit our company has not fallen? ”

"If he means, let's rest assured, even if it doesn't happen, our company won't have anything to lose. What is this, even if our company did not pay the millions of upfront costs, we have also paid time, energy, manpower and material resources, and the most important thing is that the delay in the time to market is to delay the market opportunity, which will hinder the future development of our company. ”

"I think it's a bad idea that doesn't need to. Ling Ran concluded, "For such a major event as going public, what we want is to find the most suitable investment bank to help us achieve this goal, not to save millions of dollars." ”

He Gang opened his mouth and couldn't speak, feeling that he was quite embarrassed, and he couldn't even hold on to his face.

Ling Ran also felt that what she said was wrong, so she hurriedly changed her words: "Of course, Mr. Ye's proposal is indeed very touching. He tied his own net worth and his company's future to whether or not our crown could be listed. Uncle, if you think Mr. Ye is commendable, and the terms he is proposing now are indeed very attractive. If you are satisfied, we can consider signing an agreement with him. ”

He Gang was embarrassed: "Well, I'll think about it again." ”

He Gang went back to the office, and Ling Ran was so depressed that she wanted to slap herself twice. Yin Zibo looked at Ling Ran sympathetically, and said softly: "It's okay, Uncle He is broad-minded, he is not that kind of person." ”

Yin Zibo suddenly approached Ling Ran's ear and whispered, "Uncle He is a bit of a petty family, and he often does this kind of thing of throwing watermelons for sesame seeds. After all, he's self-made, forgive him. ”

Yin Zibo laughed, went to find He Gang, and Ling Ran fainted.

Yin Zibo entered He Gang's office, and He Gang was in a daze. Yin Zibo said, "Uncle He." ”

He Gang nodded: "Zibo, you came just in time." I'm looking for you, what do you think about the matter of faith?"

Yin Zibo said, "Uncle He, do you want to sign with Mr. Ye?"

He Gang hesitated for a moment and nodded slowly: "What do you think?"

Yin Zibo looked at He Gang: "Well, Uncle He, if you are moved by Brother Ye's words." Then from now on, support Ling Ran. ”

"What?" He Gang was dumbfounded, suspecting that something was wrong with his ears, "If I plan to sign with Mr. Ye, you will support Ling Ran." What do you mean? ”

Yin Zibo grabbed his hair and gave a wry smile: "Uncle He, in fact, I have always felt that Ling Ran is quite reasonable. Although she handles things, that, is a bit blunt, but I do always think that she has her own principles, not the kind of person who forgets her righteousness when she sees profit, sees money, and loses big because of small things. Look at these days, those investment banks promised her so many benefits, and she didn't blink her eyelids, and there are a few people in our company who can do it. So I think that no matter what she says, the suggestions she puts forward are not for herself, at least for the company's whole life, because of my friendship with Ye Ling, I have always insisted that he give our company an IPO. In fact, I was also asking myself if this was really good for the company and whether it was the best choice. Uncle He, since you support Ye Ling now, then I can only support Ling Ran. Otherwise, how to balance. ”

He Gang vomited blood, and there are still such reasons for support in the world.

At this time, it was already time to get off work at night, and Yin Zibo went to find Ye Ling again (why am I busier than the express delivery, Yin Zibo said in his heart). The two met at the bar, and Yin Zibo told him about it: "Now Uncle He is moved and wants to sign a contract with you." But I'm on Ling Ran's side now. Your move has an impact on our company, but it has no impact on the Securities Regulatory Commission, you have to come up with some dry goods to prove that you can let us pass. ”

Ye Ling was really dizzy: "What do you want me to take? Marriage certificate? I can understand that she hates me, what are you mixing in it?"

Yin Zibo wondered: "Brother Ye, you repeatedly said that Ling Ran took revenge on you, hated you, and forced you, what do you mean?"

Ye Ling suddenly became cold: "It's not interesting." She was biased against me personally. ”

"Prejudice against you personally. Well, Brother Ye, in fact, since the first time she wrote those company profiles and industry overviews for you, I have always had a faint feeling that she seems to be a little special to you. Is it because she likes you a little? She secretly pursued you and you rejected you, or you slept with her and threw her away. So you say she hates you and takes revenge on you. Wow, you've only met a few times. Brother Ye, you are really awesome. ”

Ye Ling frowned: "Don't think about it, talk nonsense." ”

Yin Zibo looked at Ye Ling silently for a few minutes: "Well, Brother Ye." I haven't known Ling Ran for a long time, and I haven't had deep contact, but I have been treated by her several times, and I think she is really not the kind of person with a small belly. I've seen her work, she's really dedicated, very hardworking, and she's working until 4 o'clock every day for those few pages to write to you. ”

"I don't think she's the kind of person who does a little work, asks for merit and rewards, does a little thing, and cares about it, and she is not the kind of person who can buy a little profit. Yin Zibo sighed: "In the past few days, she has worked very hard to analyze which investment bank is better, and she has been staying up almost all night. I saw that she was so stressed that she couldn't hold it anymore. I don't believe she doesn't have a recommendation in mind, but she hasn't brought it up to Uncle He and me until now, I don't know why?"

Ye Ling was speechless, and said after a while: "Zibo, help me, go and persuade Ling Ran." I will not and cannot remarry my ex-wife, but I can make Crown go public, and the terms I give Crown, the degree of importance I attach to Crown's project, is unmatched by other investment banks. Even though they are more capable than me, I have my strengths and I am the most suitable person to do this project. ”

Ye Ling hesitated: "In addition, you tell her that tomorrow night is the weekend, and I have time." I waited for her at home, and whatever she wanted me to do, I did. ”

Yin Zibo was dumbfounded: "Wow, it's so hot." Brother Ye, does she know where your house is? She has already been to your house?"

"She has the keys to my house. Ye Ling said slowly, "She went to my house a long, long time ago. She may have forgotten about it for a long time, but I'm still waiting, waiting for her to come home. ”——

Just when Yin Zibo and Ye Ling met in a nightclub, Ling Ran was at home, sitting in Shao Chengzhi's arms, and talked about what happened in the company during the day today: "I'm stupid again, hey, I offended my uncle this time." I really don't know what I'm doing, but okay, now that Crown has picked an investment bank, it has gotten the best terms. I think I'm worthy of my three months' salary. ”

Shao Chengzhi hugged her gently: "Then you decided to resign?"

"I kind of think so. Ling Ran was in pain, "I'm a deserter, and I've lost my mother's face." ”

Shao Chengzhi smiled: "If you agree, you will stay, and if you don't, you will go, what does this have to do with face." Take a break at home and find another job you like. ”

Shao Chengzhi touched Ling Ran's eyebrows with his hand: "Can you resign tomorrow, only if you make this decision, you can sleep well." ”

Ling Ran smiled: "Resign at home, let you feed?"

Shao Chengzhi was suddenly a little embarrassed: "Well, can I tell the truth? I have been wanting to say to you these days: Ranran, don't do this work, let's go home, can I feed you?"

Ling Ran was surprised: "Do you really think so? do you want me to stay at home and be a housewife?"

Shao Chengzhi hurriedly shook his hand: "No, I didn't mean that." I didn't mean to tell you to quit your job and stay at home forever, I know you're not that kind of person. However, this is also a dream that all men in the world will have. Men all think that one day, they will have the ability to say to their beloved woman: Don't work so hard, come, come home with me, I will feed you. Isn't that too machismo?"

Ling Ran laughed: "Really, men really have such dreams. Then I tell you, women all over the world also have such a dream, when they are tired, there will be a big man who says to himself: You don't have to work so hard to support yourself, come, come home with me, I will support you. ”

Shao Chengzhi and Ling Ran looked at each other silently. Shao Chengzhi asked in a low voice: "Ranran, do you want us all to realize our dreams tonight?"

Ling Ran nodded.

Shao Chengzhi said loudly: "Ranran, don't do this job, resign." Come home with me and I'll feed you. ”

Ling Ran's nose suddenly soured: "Well, okay, Chengzhi." I'll go home with you. Ling Ran hugged Shao Chengzhi's neck, and tears fell on his head and neck.

Shao Chengzhi carried Ling Ran into the master bedroom, and the two took off their clothes. Wherever Shao Chengzhi's tongue went, Ling Ran trembled with passion. Ling Ran guided Shao Chengzhi into his body, and Shao Chengzhi only lasted less than three minutes. Shao Chengzhi was ashamed: "Well, you're not satisfied." ”

Ling Ran hugged him: "The second time will be fine." ”

In less than five minutes, Shao Chengzhi was firm again, and the second time he held out for 20 minutes. Ling Ran praised him: "Good learning ability." ”

But 10 minutes later, Shao Chengzhi was impulsive again, and Shao Chengzhi was embarrassed: "Ranran, am I too crazy?"

Ling Ran whispered, "I wish you were so brave every night." ”

Shao Chengzhi spent 10 years of adolescence in abstinence, and once he broke out, it was like taking Hercules pills, endlessly. The two tossed and turned on the bed, endlessly, and finally Ling Ran's physical strength was exhausted, and he suddenly fell asleep soundly, not even dreaming
