Counterattack starts with controlling probability

When Liu Xia returned home, she saw her father Liu Fei sitting in the study, holding a newspaper in his hand, as if waiting for her.

She hesitated for a moment and decided to report today's meeting with Xiajin Securities to her father.

She described in detail how Xiajin Securities favored Feiyue Media, downplayed Noah Technology, and even mentioned their neglect of technology projects in the allocation of investment resources.

After hearing this, Liu Fei's face gradually became gloomy and he put down the newspaper in his hand.

He frowned, clearly feeling unhappy, and said, "I was hoping for a good thing in pairs, but now it's all gone to waste! It seems I either need to put pressure on them or really consider switching investment banks."

Liu Xia nodded and said, "Yes, you didn't see it. It was their disdainful attitude towards the technology industry that disappointed Li Hao. A joint listing is a good idea, but we must ensure that both parties are treated fairly."

Liu Fei pondered for a moment and replied, "Li Hao has put a lot of effort into this IPO. I can't let him and Noah Technology be ignored. I have to fight for more rights for him and ensure that he gets the resources and support he deserves."

At the same time, Li Hao was not idle either. He decided to ask his senior classmate Wang Qiang for help.

He met with Wang Qiang in a cafe and told him everything about his meeting with Xia Jin Securities, especially mentioning the other party's contempt for Noah Technology.

Wang Qiang was silent for a moment, then smiled faintly. "Li Hao, Xiajin Securities is indeed capable, but remember, not every investment bank can handle the listing of two companies simultaneously. Especially since the two companies are in such different industries. They have their own areas of expertise, while others are relatively lacking in understanding."

Li Hao frowned slightly: "So, what you mean is that maybe we should operate separately?"

Wang Qiang nodded. "You can try either, at least to get to know them first. Xiajin Securities has a rich network of resources in the media industry, but their understanding of technology is clearly not deep enough. Perhaps they can be competent in sponsoring Feiyue Media, but Noah Technology needs a partner who understands the technology industry better."

Li Hao's mind gradually became clear.

Although he very much hopes that the two companies can be listed at the same time, if a joint listing will cause one party to be ignored, it may be wise to find suitable investment banks separately.

Just then, Li Hao received a call from Liu Fei.

"Li Hao, I heard what Liu Xia said about today's situation. I'm very disappointed with Xiajin Securities' attitude."

Liu Fei went straight to the point, his voice revealing obvious dissatisfaction.

"These people look down on you, and they look down on me! I'm going to find them right now. Wait for my news. I must ensure that your rights are properly respected!"

Li Hao felt a warm feeling in his heart after hearing this, and said gratefully, "Uncle Liu, thank you for considering Noah Technology. Indeed, I don't want Noah to be overlooked in this cooperation."

Liu Fei continued, "Li Hao, we should also prepare for both scenarios. If Xiajin Securities simply cannot sponsor both companies fairly at the same time, we must consider other options."

Li Hao's mood became firmer because of Liu Fei's support: "If you can say that, I completely agree with you!"

Liu Fei nodded. "Okay, then we'll renegotiate with Xiajin Securities. We must ensure fairness in resource allocation, especially. I want them to understand that Noah Technology is just as important as Feiyue Media."

A few days later, Liu Fei convened several relevant persons in charge at the company to discuss the issue of cooperation with Xiajin Securities. Liu Xia also attended the meeting.

She knew that this was not just a discussion about Feiyue Media, but also an important decision concerning the future of Noah Technology.

During the meeting, Liu Fei explained Xiajin Securities' attitude and clearly expressed his dissatisfaction with them.

He said to the head of Xiajin Securities' investment banking department, "Do you know 'Xingxing Investment'? It actually has a similar shareholder background to Noah Technology. To put it bluntly, both companies are controlled by Li Hao. Xingxing is the company we at Feiyue Media are currently promoting. How can you treat our partners like this?"

This actually surprised the person in charge. It seemed that they did not do enough preliminary research on Noah Technology.

Liu Xia added: "You're right. The original intention of our joint listing was to leverage each other's strengths and achieve common development. If one party is neglected, then the cooperation loses its meaning."

Liu Fei's attitude was resolute. He then said to the leaders present, "Next, we will renegotiate. If you still cannot meet our requirements, we must find a new investment bank to cooperate with. Our goal is to ensure that both Feiyue Media and Noah Technology can go public smoothly, without dragging down one company."

It can be said that there were many differences in this meeting, but the pressure did come to Xia Jin.

Liu Xia felt her father's support for Li Hao and Noah Technology, and was pleased with their cooperation.

She looked at her father and said seriously, "Dad, the technical strength of Li Hao and Noah Technology is worthy of attention. We can't let either party lose confidence in this process. We must find a sponsor who understands both media and technology. Only in this way can we achieve a true win-win situation."

Liu Fei replied, "Of course we must. We must stand firm. Both Feiyue Media and Noah Technology deserve the resources and opportunities they deserve."

……

A few days later, Liu Fei took the initiative to contact Li Hao, and the two agreed to meet in a quiet teahouse.

Liu Fei seemed to be in a calm mood. He sat down opposite Li Hao, picked up his teacup and took a sip. Then he said bluntly, "Li Hao, I have some ideas about cooperation with Xiajin Securities that I would like to discuss with you."

Li Hao nodded and replied, "I heard from Liu Xia that you held another meeting with their leadership afterwards. In your opinion, what was the outcome?"

"Honestly, I may have overestimated Xiajin Securities before. It seems that their strength is indeed limited."

Liu Fei put down the teacup and looked at Li Hao seriously.

"I don't want you to force yourself to go public jointly. If you feel there are problems with cooperating with them, you can choose to go public independently."

Li Hao was slightly stunned when he heard this.

He knew that a joint listing would have many benefits for both companies, especially the sharing of market resources and the accumulation of influence, but if the partners could not treat Noah Technology fairly, such a combination would undoubtedly be harmful.

Liu Fei's straightforwardness made him feel inexplicably relieved.

Liu Fei smiled and patted Li Hao on the shoulder. "Li Hao, I can see that you've put a lot of effort into Noah Technology. Feiyue Media and I personally both highly recognize your strength. So, no matter what you ultimately choose, we will fully support you. Even if it's an independent listing, don't worry about it."

Li Hao was deeply moved by these words and was filled with gratitude.

He said to Liu Fei, "Uncle Liu, thank you for your understanding and support. Your words have given me great confidence. I will carefully consider my next options and find the most suitable solution."

Liu Fei smiled and nodded: "That's right. Don't worry, we have other options."

He paused, then continued, "I've also been re-investigating recently. At the moment, there are other investment banks whose resources we could consider, such as Daxia Securities. Daxia Securities has extensive experience in the technology industry and may be more suitable for Noah Technology's development."

Li Hao was somewhat familiar with this name. It belonged to the same group as the futures company where he opened his derivatives account, but he had no detailed knowledge of its investment banking business before.

He asked, "Daxia Securities? What is their business focus? Do you think it's suitable for Noah?"

Liu Fei smiled and said, "According to my research, one of Daxia Securities' business focuses is supporting the development of technologically innovative companies. They are particularly good at underwriting technology stocks in the investment banking field."

"And according to Xiaoxia, isn't your team led by the eldest son of the Universal Group? In fact, Universal Group also has some connections with Daxia Securities. You might want to go find their boss, Chen Qiming, and find out more about the situation."

Li Hao's mind brightened up. The influence of Universal Group and the technological experience of Daxia Securities might really make them more suitable partners.

He began to reconsider the feasibility of a joint listing, especially if there was a suitable investment bank willing to provide more comprehensive support to Noah Technology, the idea of ​​a joint listing might not be unfeasible.

Liu Fei continued, "Whether you choose to continue cooperating with Xiajin Securities or negotiate with Daxia Securities, I will fully support you. Don't worry about my relationships; Xiajin Securities is just that in my mind. The key is to find the solution that best suits Noah Technology's development."

Li Hao smiled and said to Liu Fei, "Uncle Liu, your support is very important to me. Perhaps Daxia Securities is a good choice. Anyway, I will first understand the situation, and then we will make a decision after analyzing the situation."

Liu Fei nodded, his eyes revealing some encouragement. "That's good. You should contact Daxia Securities and see what kind of solutions they can offer. Only on the basis of mutual understanding can we find true partners."

That day, Li Hao returned to the company and sat at his desk, thinking about Liu Fei's words.

He has realized that the original intention of the joint listing was to leverage the strengths of both parties for common development, but if the partners are unable to treat both parties fairly, the alliance will lose its meaning.

Li Hao decided to take action. He immediately contacted Wang Qiang to learn more about Daxia Securities.

Wang Qiang nodded in support when he heard Li Hao's intentions. "Daxia Securities? Their group is quite impressive. They've also been very solid in the investment banking sector, and they have a particularly good understanding and resources for innovative technology companies. If you'd like to contact them, I can help arrange it."

Wang Qiang's support gave Li Hao confidence again.

In the next few days, Li Hao began to carefully organize information about Noah Technology, preparing to show their potential to Daxia Securities.

He knew very well that this was not only about the company's journey to listing, but also about the efforts and dreams of the entire team over the years.

However, this time he learned his lesson. Before contacting the investment banking department, he did not contact Chen Qiming for the time being, but contacted Hu Chao instead.

"Mr. Hu, long time no see. Can I ask you something?" Li Hao said to him on the phone.
