Ling Ran began to work officially, and the biggest advantage of getting a position in a company through a network is that she doesn't know anything about the company and what she wants to do, and the company doesn't know anything about who she is or what she is doing in the company.

Ling Ran arrived at his office at half past eight o'clock, and in order to show Ling Ran's mother the importance of her daughter, and also to establish Ling Ran's status as his closest confidant in the company, Ling Ran was arranged on the 28th floor. The 28th floor, except for He Gang himself and the president's office, is the office of the vice presidents of the crown, and Ling Ran is the only director-level executive.

The towers of the Crown Tower are elliptical cylinders, and the offices are arranged in an arc around an elevator shaft, each office is a suite, the outer front room is a portable secretary's office, the inside is a luxury office with a meeting room, and the office is a small bedroom with a bathroom for the CEOs to take a break at noon. A bachelor like Yin Zibo, when he has nowhere to spend his time, simply plays games all night in his office, and climbs into bed directly after playing.

When Ling Ran entered the office, Zhang Ning was already waiting for her. Zhang Ning has followed He Gang for 10 years, has good work habits, and his desk has been neatly packed and there are various folders. Ling Ran couldn't help but wonder: what was inside.

Ling Ran entered his office and sat down. Zhang Ning made her a cup of tea: "Mr. Ling, this tea was brought by Mr. He, the premium Longjing tea, and he said that it was specially given to you." ”

Ling Ran expressed her gratitude: "Thank you Mr. He for your care. Sister Zhang, could you please bring me the "Sponsorship Agreement" between Xinye and our crown, their "Project Proposal", and the "Project Proposal" submitted to us by other investment banks? "Although the "project proposal" is written on some plagiarism, exaggeration, ornate rhetoric, nonsense, so the data are carefully selected, reasonable, but completely unrealistic to concoct the nonsense, but at least after reading it, you will have an understanding of the company's situation, market trends, and the financing scale that the project may achieve, as for how much money can be circled in the end, then only God knows.

Zhang Ning was stunned for a moment, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face, and after a second, he said, "Mr. Ling, I'm sorry, I don't know what you want." ”

Zhang Ning had never heard of these two terms in the past, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: "Mr. Ling, what you are asking about our company's application for a project loan from the bank and the "feasibility study report" to the bank? Yes, in the archives, but take it all to see, it's too much, right?" Zhang Ning thought to himself: Who will see this kind of smelly and long. In fact, Zhang Ning was really right, the "Project Proposal" is also stinky and long, and the person who wrote it was extremely worried, and after writing, no one would waste that time to read the more than 100 pages of thick butt paper when they were full and had nothing to do.

"Well, it's not. Isn't Xinye Investment Company going to give us an IPO? Then they have to give us a "project proposal", not only they want to give it, but other investment banks that apply for an IPO for our company must give us, just like a real estate company applying for a bid for a real estate project. Otherwise, how will we know which investment bank has the most relevant experience and is the most suitable to help us go public. Since we have chosen Xinye Company as our underwriter, we don't have to sign a "sponsorship agreement" with them, otherwise, how can they charge us? Ling Ran had a little headache, why did this kind of basic common sense still need to be explained to the president's most effective secretary for a long time?

Ling Ran is really not worried, the situation in China is different from the United States, the investment banking staff in the United States, especially investment banking assistants like Ling Ran, work 16 hours a day, day and night hard work, is to write various project proposals, financing plans and prospectuses, because under the listing system in the United States, the listing itself is not difficult, the most difficult thing for investment banks is to fool the companies that want to go public and raise financing to be their customers, so that they can make money, and sell the customer's shares, so that they can make money, so they send it to customers"Project Proposal" is the first important thing, if the proposal is written in a way that makes people want to think about it at a glance, then there will be no customers, and then there will be no follow-up things.

But the situation in China is different, in China, because of a series of strict listing standards formulated by the China Securities Regulatory Commission, and requires enterprises to pass the review of the CSRC Issuance Examination Committee before they can pass the meeting, so the most difficult thing for investment banks is how to let the company pass the meeting, as for selling stocks after listing, there is no need to worry, there is no company in China whose shares cannot be sold, and no company's shares are issued below the issue price. Therefore, as long as the investment bank can make the company go public and issue shares, it is guaranteed to make money. Whether the company can pass the meeting has nothing to do with the "Project Proposal", so China's investment banks do not attach as much importance to the "Project Proposal" as the United States. Some IPO projects, such as the transaction between Crown and Xinye, because it is a relationship project, Ye Ling got it directly from He Gang and Yin Bai through Yin Zibo, and Crown has not been publicly tendered to various investment banks, so the "Project Proposal" is dispensable.

After Ling Ran's simple explanation, Zhang Ning understood, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Mr. Ling, Xinye Investment Company has not sent a "Project Proposal" to our company, and our company has not signed any agreement with them. Mr. He said that he didn't know much about the listing, and everything was waiting for you to come and make a decision after discussion. ”

In fact, this is the reason why He Gang spent 500,000 yuan to call Ling Ran back, because He Gang didn't understand anything at all, so the people who accepted Yin Zibo's recommendation were better than cooked, at least they felt reliable, but because it was recommended by Yin Zibo, He Gang was not at ease, and wanted to find someone to help him check it, what is the level of this person's business, it is not the most critical question, the important thing is two points: 1 Knowledgeable, 2, absolutely reliable. These two Ling Ran are the most compatible. Therefore, He Gang didn't dare to sign anything before Ling Ran came back, for fear that he wouldn't be able to get off the thief ship.

Ling Ran suddenly realized, ah, it turned out that Ye Ling's company was entrusted with the IPO, and there was no word, after a long time, this big meat bun may not be the investment bank dog.

Ling Ran remembered that Ye Ling tempted herself with a marriage certificate last night, and was as disgusting as eating 100 flies: No wonder this kid came up to prostitute as soon as he saw me, I gave you grass, an IPO commission is tens of millions, you think your cucumber is so valuable.

In fact, Ling Ran did wronged Ye Ling in this matter, although Xinye and the crown did not formally sign an agreement, whether it was He Gang or the Yin family's father and son, this project was clearly stated by Ye Ling. He Gang just wanted to wait for Ling Ran to come back and help him read the contract, there was no problem with the terms, could he just sign it, and the other thing was to bargain with Ye Ling and save some commission for the company, you take my 500,000 annual salary, and you have to create 5 million value for me.

Zhang Ning said to Ling Ran: "Mr. Ling, you can communicate with Mr. He about signing the agreement, and you can ask Mr. Yin about other specific matters, Ye is always recommended by Vice President Yin, and the two of them are very good friends." ”

Ling Ran nodded and asked Zhang Ning to make an appointment with He Gang, Zhang Ning laughed: "Hey, Mr. Ling, we don't have so many rules." You go to his office now, and if there's no one else inside, the door must be open, and you just go in and say okay. ”

"That's not good, what if he has other arrangements?" Ling Ran said.

"He doesn't have time to tell you himself. Zhang Ning pouted: "These CEOs of our company have a loud voice, and they don't like to close the door, call their wives, and they can be heard in the corridor." Especially Vice President Yin, which girl did he soak in again, what did he do last night, I'm afraid he himself doesn't know as much as we do"

Ling Ran, #&

Ling Ran said to herself: Follow the customs of the country, the ancestors also have an idiom that Yu enters the naked country and travels naked.

Ling Ran went to look for He Gang, and He Gang was really there, really holding a phone with a loud voice. Ling Ran closed the door and discussed with He Gang about the IPO, where the progress with Xinye was.

"Well, Ye is always highly recommended by Zibo and is a friend he trusts. No matter what we say, we have to give Vice President Yin a face. He Gang said haha, for fear that Ling Ran would point out that Ye Ling's level was actually very good, and he specialized in bluffing people, so wouldn't it be a loss of face to pick him up, so he put all the responsibility on Yin Zibo's head first. Anyway, the two fathers and sons, one did not graduate from elementary school, and the other graduated from junior high school, and their education level is far from their own.

Ling Ran frowned, although she was officially on the first day of work, she also had some feeling for the atmosphere of the crown. Yin Zibo's suggestion, He Gang estimated that it was not easy to veto, but the matter of the "Project Proposal", regardless of whether the agreement had been signed or not, since Ye Ling wanted to do an IPO for the crown, he should send a formal written application to the crown, and he has not delivered it so far, it is a matter of work attitude, sincerity and attention to cooperation, and Ling Ran began to question the rationality of the crown to make an IPO for Xinye.

He Gang was happy when he heard it: "Yes, you are so right, this is the problem." How could Mr. Ye be so snub to our company. In fact, in order to pull the project, Ye Ling has really run to the crown in the past three months, and every time he comes, he really pats He Gang's ass, but He Gang's self-esteem is deeply stimulated by his lofty noun, and he wishes he could come up with something to suppress this kid's arrogance.

As soon as He opened the inside line, he called Yin Zibo and asked him to come over to talk.

Yin Zibo's office was separated from He Gang's president's office, and in less than a minute, Yin Zibo appeared, and as soon as he saw Ling Ran in the door, he immediately threw a charming look with his big eyes.

"Mr. Ling, good morning. There was a faint excitement in Yin Zibo's voice, as if he was waiting for Ling Ran to open his mouth to say something to him.

Ling Ran was inexplicable, and He Gang's face sank.

Yin Zibo hurriedly changed his words: "Uncle He, you have something to do with me." ”

Ling Ran told the story again.

Yin Zibo scratched his head: "Proposals, oh, there is such a thing." I'll ask Ye Ling now to go. Tell him to send it right away. Uncle He, Mr. Ling, let's have dinner together at noon, what other materials do you want, tell him directly. Yin Zibo thinks that the names of those strange documents are awkward, so it's best not to tell yourself to convey them.

Yin Zibo made a phone call and told him about it, Ye Ling was stunned, and secretly scolded himself for being a pig, because the project was promised, he was waiting for the agreement to be signed, and the crown had not been publicly tendered, so he had not prepared the "Project Proposal" so far, which was indeed a big mistake in his work.

But this week, Ye Ling has a project in his hand, which must be submitted to the Securities Regulatory Commission, according to the working habits of the investment bank, all documents will not be stopped until the last moment of printing, so this week, all the people in the company related to the project are almost not sleeping, and they are constantly changing and changing there, until everyone is unresponsive, and it is not clear whether the chewing is rice or sand in the mouth. Investment bank employees generally rely on this kind of obscenity to support themselves through this sleepless days, and every time they change a word, a pink □□ head falls into their pockets.

Ye Ling's company has just started, and its manpower is not as rich as that of big investment banks, so it is impossible to write a project proposal for Crown without revising the prospectus submitted to the Securities Regulatory Commission.

"Zibo, the project proposal is still in print, and it won't be printed until next week. And I happen to have an IPO project to submit this week, and I am too busy to get out of it, so I will personally send it to you next week. Ye Ling said.

Ling Ran was unhappy: "Uncle, Mr. Yin." The project proposal is not written by one person, but by the entire project team, and the entire drafting process takes a total of 100,200 working days, and each person is responsible for writing the part of his or her expertise, which is amortized to each person about 510 working days, that is, a project team needs about 57 days, working overtime to write it out. What does Mr. Ye mean when he says to give it to us next week? Did he not write a word at all? Ling Ran didn't know that China's investment banks didn't pay so much attention to project proposals, so they generally threw them to a rookie who had just entered the industry, copied them from east to west, and then pasted them with their own company's clichés, even if they completed the first draft, and then the senior staff scolded them first, and then changed them there.

So Yin Zibo passed Ling Ran's words over, and Ye Ling broke out in a cold sweat, they were suspecting me for perfunctory and not paying attention to them. This is the most serious of all the problems before the contract is signed, and it is likely that the ducks in hand will fly away. Ye Ling immediately said: "I will send my men to print and urge, and strive to print it out and send it to you within three days." ”

He Gang and Yin Zibo both looked up at Ling Ran, and Ling Ran nodded. Yin Zibo said to Ye Ling on the phone: "Okay, Brother Ye." You hurry up. ”

After hanging the line, Ye Ling smiled bitterly: Ranran, you are really good enough to make trouble for me.

Ye Ling thought about it, and the company's SVP and above employees were busy with the project. Ye Ling called an assistant with a good pen to come over, and told him to put down all the other work in his hand, and within two days, write the project proposal of the crown and bring it to him for personal inspection.

Ye Ling shook her head and sighed, knowing that Ling Ran would definitely not be satisfied, because Wall Street investment banks attach great importance to producing a project proposal or financing plan with beautiful format and correct words, because it represents the rigor and seriousness of Wall Street's financial services. Whoever has excellent writing skills and word processing skills can be on Wall Street for at least 45 years.

To put it bluntly, this is not a big deal, because this kind of thing has a template, Wall Street's investment banks have a long history, and the accumulated templates are naturally more professional, more targeted and more detailed, and they also have special personnel to further polish the file format to the content after completion, but China's investment banks have just started, China has only been a listed company for many years, and how many things can be accumulated, and even the prospectus submitted to the Securities Regulatory Commission has a lot of text errors and inconsistent formats, because China's investment banks do not have a special person to deal with the text and proofreading, and the people who write it do it themselves, so low-level errors are common。

Ye Ling herself attaches great importance to the professionalism of the text and the elegance of the form of the document, because it represents the diligent attitude, professionalism and professional level. The various documents he wrote in the past when he was at Ping An Securities are still serving as models for newcomers who have just entered the industry. But these are the jobs of a low-level clerk, who has three heads and six arms, 48 hours a day, and now it is impossible for him to write his own manuscripts.

Ling Ran, who worked as an assistant on Wall Street for three years, writing these project proposals and prospectuses, must have had enough of Merrill Lynch's harsh training. Ye Ling imagined what Ling Ran's expression would be when she got the "Project Proposal" three days later

But Ye Ling didn't believe that Ling Ran would really make things difficult for herself, because she, just like himself, was still in love

Ye Ling couldn't help but recall the years when her head was cantilevered and her head was stabbed, those days when she stayed up all night with a fèng tail clip on her thighs in order to support herself and not doze off, those days when she was so busy that she could only make money and had no time to spend money, those days when Ling Ran was summoned to come as long as she could squeeze out a little time day or night, those days when Ling Ran came from thousands of miles as long as she was in Beijing or on a business trip, as long as there was a little opportunity. At that time, the Chinese did not have a private car at home, Ling Ran often could not take a taxi in the middle of the night, in winter in the severe cold of minus ten degrees for a long time, taxi drivers would always take the opportunity to knock on the bamboo bar, what road is close to not go, the road is far away to run empty, when the average salary of workers in Beijing is only 1000 January, then a little way, you have to ask her for 100, 200 yuan At that time, the projects were all large state-owned enterprises, branches were all over every poor country in China, he went on a business trip to live in a small hotel that emitted all kinds of foul odors, ate all kinds of food that was difficult to swallow, endured the worst sanitary conditions, in the middle of the night rats were rampant on the floor, he was afraid that the bedding was not clean, didn't dare to let her take off her clothes, get up in the morning, he was afraid that something would crawl into her shoes, he always had to check it carefully, and then put it on for her In those days when there was no time to eat and no time to sleep except for work or work, he arranged their dates with stitches, cherished every second of time he could be with her, cherished every opportunity to be with her, he tried to create passion and romance under the conditions possible, he was thinking about her all the time. In those two years, his physical fitness and his ** reached the peak in such a mental and physical exhaustion, and his skills and endurance were also at their best at that time. After she left, no woman could make him so, it was his golden age

Because from the beginning, he didn't plan to enter any serious relationship at all, he didn't have the time or energy, he was with all the women at that time just to solve physical needs and relieve mental pressure, so he didn't expect the two to get along for long, but he didn't expect Ling Ran to be with him for two whole years. When he almost thought that life was like this, and that she would always be by his side, she decided to go, not caring about the brokenness of his heart at all

When he saw Ling Ran arrive in the United States for a week, he openly claimed on his blog that he had found a blonde and blue-eyed American boyfriend, shamelessly boasting about how handsome, strong and excellent Brother Bai was, and posted photos of the two everywhere.

The past has passed away with the wind, over the years, Ye Ling's only tearless and hateful thing is, why did the two meet in the busiest, most stressful, and most timeless time period of his life, why did he give him such an unforgettable time in the time when he was most unable to fall in love, sometimes she came to his side, but the two didn't even have time to talk about love, and there was always no suitable location and scene, they were in the idle box, in the leeward of the alley, in all the most unsuitable and unromantic places to vent their passion, why not give him a little more time, so that he could love her more meticulously and gently, so that they could really fall in love once。

Over the years, Ye Ling has been controlling herself not to think about it, and has been working hard to force herself to forget, but when she still dreams back at midnight, there is still a sudden heartache, this heartache is so strong, every time she feels that a blunt knife is slowly cutting her heart.

But suddenly, she returned, and after he thought he had effectively buried her, she reappeared, and was more mature and beautiful than the one she remembered

The heavy gold lock fell into the dust, the door of his heart suddenly opened, and Ye Ling's eyes couldn't help but get wet: My love, is it back?

After the matter was discussed, Ling Ran left He Gang's office. Yin Zibo followed behind his ass. Given that he was the executive vice president of the company, Ling Ran didn't dare to give him a blank look, so he had to let him follow him all the way to his office.

As soon as she entered her office, Ling Ran was slightly stunned, after a while, there was a gorgeous large glass vase on her desk, with long-stemmed yellow roses imported from New Zealand inserted on it, a whole dozen, is there any mistake, who wants to propose?

Ling Ran immediately turned his head to look at Yin Zibo, and Yin Zibo immediately returned the most gentle, romantic, and affectionate smile: "Do you like it?"

"Oh, thanks. Ling Ran thought desperately: Okay, the secretaries of the entire 28th floor know.

It should be said that Yin Zibo can't be blamed for this, it was all caused by his own commotion yesterday. Ling Ran had the urge to slap herself twice.

Ling Ran invited Yin Zibo to sit down on the sofa, and Zhang Ning came in to make tea for Yin Zibo.

Yin Zibo muttered: "Special Longjing, Uncle He gave it to you." He also gave me a can, half a two, soaked a few times and it was gone, stingy like something. ”

Ling Ran smiled: "I'm just like tea, if you like it, then you can take it all." Zhang Ning took out six and a half small jars.

Yin Zibo's ancestral home is Zhejiang, and he and his father are both fans of Longjing. But the premium Longjing is very expensive, so what is sold in the Beijing market is basically fake. When He Gang was in the spring, he got a batch of spring tea before the Qingming Festival, and he had been carefully hiding, he didn't like to drink it, but from time to time he took out a can to anger the two fathers and sons of the Yin family.

Now that Ling Ran gave Yin Zibo six cans at once, Yin Zibo couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Then I might as well be respectful, thank you." Mr. Ling, what do you like, I have Starbucks coffee imported from the United States, do you want it?"

"Ah, this, yes. I have a coffee addiction. ”

Yin Zibo asked Zhang Ning to go to his office to ask the secretary for coffee, and brought the coffee pot by the way.

Zhang Ning left, and Ling Ran said while drinking tea: "Mr. Yin, there is a question, I want to ask you, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”

You say. ”

"Well, Mr. Yin, I just came back from the United States, and I don't know much about the procedures and customary methods of listing in China. In the United States, if a company wants to raise funds, under normal circumstances, multiple investment banks will be invited to bid, so that the company can have a choice, choose the most experienced investment bank, and at the same time can compare the price, and have room for bargaining with the investment banks. I heard my uncle say that our company applied for an IPO this time, without considering other investment banks, and directly entrusted it to Mr. Ye's company, because you gave him a very strong recommendation. Ling Ran observed Yin Zibo's facial expression and spoke eloquently.

"What my uncle means is that you and Ye are always very good friends, and you recommend him because you trust him. But I don't think that's the crux of the problem, because you own half of the shares of Crown, and the listing of Crown is directly related to your personal value, and the total amount of funds raised means how much the company will cost in exchange for how much development funds, which will affect the future of the company and the assets of shareholders. I don't think anyone in the world would put simple friendship above such a big interest. I believe that you must have your considerations in choosing him. Ling Ran was afraid that Yin Zibo would say: What kind of friendship do I have with Brother Ye, I don't believe who he believes. Then there is no need to discuss, so first use words to block Yin Zibo's mouth.

As soon as the door rang, Zhang Ning walked back and brought back a large cardboard box with a large bag of coffee bottled companions, and a delicate coffee pot, the coffee pot was almost brand new, because Yin Zibo was not used to drinking coffee.

"Would you like a drink now?" asked Zhang Ning.

"Good. One drink per person. Ling Ran couldn't help but sniff the air, wanting to smell the smell of ground coffee.

Zhang Ning began to plug in the power supply and put the filter paper.

Ling Ran turned her head and looked at Yin Zibo, waiting for him to explain.

Yin Zibo was embarrassed for a while: " Well, I recommend Brother Ye because, first, he is experienced, he is from a big investment bank, second, he has been with me for many years, I trust his character and business ability, third, he said to give us the most preferential rate, fourth, and the most important, he said that China's application for IPO, the most difficult thing is to pass the meeting, the number of places is limited every year, and the company applying is more than the sparrow in the sky, his father-in-law has a strong relationship in the meeting, can guarantee that our company will pass, and after the meeting, we have to queue up, I don't know to line up to the year of the ox, his father-in-law can let us go public as soon as possible。 ”

Ling Ran was surprised: Wow, his wife's father is so awesome, no wonder as soon as others introduced him, he couldn't wait to get married. If I were him, his father-in-law would have 10 daughters, and I would marry them all. Don't talk about daughters, it's nieces, nieces, cousin nieces, cousin nieces, cousin nieces I definitely don't frown, I take it all, I do my best and then die, I work hard, I die, but

"But, isn't he divorced? his former father-in-law is still willing to help him," Ling Ran asked.

Yin Zibo was surprised: "How do you know that Mr. Ye is divorced?" Ling Ran is well-informed enough.

"Oh, when I was having dinner last night, I heard two vice presidents of our company talking like this. Ling Ran hurriedly lied, "What, that's not right?"

"Oh, no. Mr. Ye, he is divorced. But he still has a good relationship with his father-in-law, his father-in-law appreciates him very much, after he resigned from Ping An, he opened his own company, which was suggested by his father-in-law, and many customers were also introduced by his father-in-law, maybe his father-in-law still has shares in his company, dark shares. Yin Zibo approached Ling Ran and whispered

Moreover, his father-in-law has always supported him in reconciling with his wife. He now visits his father-in-law's house almost every weekend. He and his wife are very affectionate, but there is a little misunderstanding, and his wife can't turn around emotionally. But they'll remarry, it's only a matter of time. Yin Zibo explained
