Chapter 12: Concerns

Tong En had been working hard all morning, carefully analyzing all the documents Xu Hui had brought, and looking up a lot of information on the Internet, until Jerry opened the door and came in and gently knocked on her desk, and she looked up from the pile of materials.

"I'm glad to see my assistant working so hard, but my stomach is already protesting, so let's go eat first, okay?"

Tong En glanced at his watch, it was already twelve o'clock.

"Oh my God, time flies so fast!"

She exclaimed, laughed, stood up, grabbed her purse, and walked out with Jerry.

In the building's cafeteria, Jerry and Tong En sit at a table by the window and eat lunch.

"Have you read the information I gave you?" Jerry swallowed a large mouthful of fried rice with ham and eggs, and looked up at Tong En.

Tong En held a large glass of boiled water and drank more than half of it in one go. I was so busy all morning that I couldn't lift my head and didn't even drink a sip of water.

"I'm done."

"Tell me what you think."

Tong En looked at the large plate of seafood fried spaghetti in front of him, and felt that he had no appetite, and his stomach was already filled with half a glass of water just now.

She put down her chopsticks, thought about it and said, "Although I haven't been working in Dawson for a long time, you know, I have been working in Dawson for the past two years. As far as Dawson's investment philosophy is concerned, investing in a real estate company, especially one that is already small, is not a wise choice. But since you're putting it in front of me as a project, I wonder why? So I'm so busy this morning that I can't even drink water, just to find a reason for you to do it. ”

"The conclusion?" Jerry was so hungry that he munched on egg fried rice.

"I've looked up all the background and development information about the company, and it seems that there are only two reasons why you should do it. 1. Although Lifeng Company has been quite large-scale and has made some profits, it has not yet been listed. Second, it recently participated in the bidding of a state-owned asset development project, and if the bidding is successful, it will be allowed to be listed in the short term, then its total asset value will increase exponentially, as a project with short- and medium-term returns, it is not unavoidable. ”

Jerry stopped what he was doing and looked at Tong En with appreciation, "I said a long time ago, Tong En, you were born to be a student of economics. ”

"Don't be in a hurry to praise me, I can't help but praise me. Talk about other reasons, you won't have only these two reasons. In addition, you have not officially included it in the pending project report, do you have any concerns? ”

"Yes." Jerry nodded.

"That's why I transferred you back, and the headquarters approved it so quickly. You are Chinese, you know more about the Chinese market and Chinese government departments than we do, and in China, many things cannot be analyzed and decided by pure economic principles. Tong En, I need your analysis and judgment, especially on this project, I need your help very much. ”

"Are you saying that this project involves a bidding for the development of state-owned assets?"

"Yes. What other reasons do you have for me? Apart from the two points you said, I don't really have any particular reason to convince the board. But I am very interested in Ji Siming, the founder of Lifeng and the chairman and general manager of Lifeng. As a venture capital firm, we have some basic requirements for the founders of the companies we invest in.

1. Be open-minded, have a flexible mind, and be able to prove that you are better than your opponents.

2. The genes of the company and the founders should be good, of course, I don't mean biological genes, whether a company has a good team is inseparable from whether there is an excellent founder.

3. Move fast, because only in this way can it be possible to defeat opponents stronger than yourself, small companies with little capital and large-scale group companies compete is tantamount to babies and giants fighting, if you want to win, you must be fast and flexible.

Ji Siming's ability to start from scratch in just six or seven years, defeat so many powerful opponents, and develop to the current scale, fully proves that he is an excellent founder with an open mind, flexible brain, and quick action. I admire this man's economic acumen and courage. But I can't really tell if I will win this crucial bid. If I escalate this project to the head office now, I have to have a reason that can fully convince them. ”

Tong En nodded, it is not easy to get the shrewd investors on the board of directors to take out the money.
