Counterattack starts with controlling probability

A few days later, Li Hao and Hu Chao met again, and Li Hao shared the results and ideas of the "Ark" platform analysis with Hu Chao.

The more Hu Chaoyue listened, the more excited he felt. He didn't expect Li Hao to do such a detailed analysis for him and find out the shortcomings of his competitors as well as his own advantages.

"Mr. Li is really reliable! These analyses are so useful." Hu Chao said gratefully, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

"Don't worry. With these materials, combined with our previous analysis, I feel like I'm at least not at a disadvantage."

Li Hao smiled and said, "Boss Hu, don't I already know what you're capable of? I believe you can win this position this time because you possess resources and vision that they don't. In the future, Noah and Nova will need allies like you to work with us!"

Hu Chao took a deep breath and nodded. "That's right, Mr. Li. I won't let you down. I'll go all out this time and secure the position of General Manager of the Securities Department. Then, together, we'll make Noah Technology's IPO a success."

……

As the competition day for the general manager of Daxia Securities Investment Banking Headquarters approaches, Li Hao knows that Hu Chao's competition is crucial and directly related to the future cooperation between the two.

He had enough confidence in Hu Chao, but at the same time he knew that the strength of his competitors should not be underestimated, so he had to go all out.

In order to help Hu Chao win the competition, Li Hao decided to use "Laopi's" ability to subtly influence the probability of events.

In the days before the competition, Li Hao concentrated his mind, started communicating with "Lao Pi", and set several goals.

First of all, he hoped that leaders who supported Hu Chao would be present on the day of the competition as much as possible to ensure that Hu Chao would receive the greatest support during his presentation.

At the same time, he also hopes to "create" some low-probability events so that leaders who prefer other candidates will be unable to attend temporarily, thereby reducing Hu Chao's competitive resistance.

"Boss Pi, I need your help," Li Hao said in his heart, "I hope Hu Chao can have the most favorable competition environment. The factors that are favorable to him must occur to the greatest extent."

[It’s a small matter. I haven’t shown my skills for a long time. Just wait for good news] Lao Pi replied.

A few days passed, and Li Hao closely followed Hu Chao's preparations for the election, and was full of confidence in Lao Pi's operation.

At the same time, Li Hao did not stop his other work.

He contacted Chen Qiming of Universal Group and arranged a meeting with the senior management of Daxia Group.

Although Chen Qiming did not directly mention Hu Chao during this meeting, the influence of Universal Group and Chen Qiming's status are undoubtedly important signals for Daxia Securities.

Li Hao knew in his heart that the success of the competition depended not only on Hu Chao's personal efforts, but also required a lot of hidden push.

He believes that through these arrangements, Hu Chao's environment for this competition will become more favorable.

The day of the competition finally arrived. Hu Chao got up early and walked to the headquarters of Daxia Securities in high spirits.

He knew this day would determine his future and be the key moment in whether he could achieve new heights in his career.

When Hu Chao arrived outside the meeting room of Daxia Securities, he looked up at the list of leaders preparing to participate in the competition.

Seeing the familiar names on the list, Hu Chao felt a sense of peace in his heart.

Almost all the leaders who supported him were present, while none of those who preferred other candidates were there.

This favorable situation doubled his inner confidence.

Hu Chao took a deep breath, pulled out his phone, and suddenly saw a message from Chen Qiming: "Hu Chao, I believe you can successfully enter the investment banking department. Come on!"

Just a few words made Hu Chao feel the strong support behind him.

Chen Qiming's support is not just personal goodwill, but also represents the trust of the Universal Group in him.

The position of the Universal Group in the industry undoubtedly gave him more confidence.

Hu Chao said to himself in his heart: "This time, I must succeed, I will definitely succeed!"

After entering the conference room, Hu Chao saw that the leaders attending the meeting were all looking at him with smiles on their faces. These familiar faces made him feel an invisible power.

The competitor presentation officially began, and Hu Chao walked up to the podium and began his self-introduction.

He introduced in detail his experience in the futures business, especially how to provide more substantial support to the group through an in-depth understanding of the industrial chain.

He emphasized the advantages in the real economy and painted a picture of how to expand more IPO projects for the group's securities business in the future through its connections with industrial clients.

Hu Chao's speech was logically clear and his ideas were well-defined. He not only demonstrated his own business capabilities, but also proposed the future business development direction from the perspective of the entire group, especially in promoting the IPO of technology-innovative enterprises, showing unique insights.

The leaders in the audience nodded frequently, and they were obviously very satisfied with Hu Chao's performance.

At the end of the competitor presentation, Hu Chao specifically mentioned that if he could serve as the general manager of the securities department, he would be committed to providing financing services to more potential technology companies and help the development of the real economy.

There was warm applause from the audience, and Hu Chao knew that he had successfully captured everyone's attention.

After the competition ended, Hu Chao walked out of the conference room with his heart full of hope and expectation.

He knew he had done his best to show his best self, and what happened next was up to fate.

At the same time, new news came from Feiyue Media.

Li Hao and Liu Fei made an appointment to meet to discuss the latest progress of Noah Technology and Feiyue Media's IPO.

The two chose a quiet little restaurant with a warm and peaceful atmosphere. There were a few simple paintings hanging on the wall and a small lit candle on the table, which looked unique and quiet.

Liu Fei looked relaxed and obviously had good news to tell Li Hao.

Li Hao noticed that Liu Fei's smile revealed a certain confidence. He knew that Liu Fei must have made some good progress, so he couldn't wait to speak: "Uncle Liu, it seems that you have some good news to tell me?"

Liu Fei nodded, looking at Li Hao with a hint of a smile, and said, "Li Hao, I have had in-depth communication with the leadership of Xiajin Securities over the past few days, and have also conducted a detailed assessment of the IPO scale of Feiyue Media and Noah Technology."

"After some discussion, the senior management of Xiajin Securities came up with a new suggestion - they believed that the listing would be more effective if a joint sponsor institution could participate."

Li Hao was slightly stunned, obviously a little surprised by the proposal of "joint sponsorship".

He frowned slightly, recalling what Wang Qiang had mentioned to him before.

Joint sponsorship does have its special advantages, but Wang Qiang made it clear that this approach is not common and is usually only adopted in special circumstances. Moreover, this arrangement will incur additional costs and complexity, which may increase operational difficulty.

"Uncle Liu, Professor Wang mentioned to me before that although joint sponsorship has its advantages, it usually also brings additional costs and coordination difficulties. Moreover, joint sponsorship is not a universally applicable method. It is only necessary to do so in a few cases." Li Hao said softly, with a hint of hesitation in his tone.

Liu Fei nodded after hearing this, obviously having expected Li Hao to have such a question.

He didn't rush to answer, but picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of hot tea.

Then he smiled and replied, "Li Hao, that's true. Professor Wang is right. However, the situations of Noah Technology and Feiyue Media are somewhat different. You see, Noah Technology has great potential in technological innovation, while Feiyue Media is also an industry leader in media promotion and content production."

Liu Fei paused, then looked at Li Hao and continued, "If the two companies could go public simultaneously, the fundraising scale would be even greater, and this would also have a mutually reinforcing effect on valuation. Especially in terms of valuation, the complementary effect between the two companies is very obvious."

"More importantly, the two companies' businesses overlap to a certain extent, especially in terms of technology and content integration. Listing them together will not only generate greater synergy in business cooperation, but will also boost overall confidence in the market."

Li Hao lowered his head and thought. Liu Fei's words made him start to reconsider this proposal.

"Uncle Liu, what you said does make sense." Li Hao nodded thoughtfully. Liu Fei's explanation gave him a better understanding of joint sponsorship.

Noah Technology's technology and Feiyue Media's content complement each other. This combination is obviously very attractive in the market, and the cooperation between them can create more market value for both parties.

If the two companies can be listed simultaneously through joint sponsorship, it will not only increase market confidence, but also leverage the market response of the media industry in fundraising, bringing more attention to Noah Technology.

Seeing Li Hao thoughtful, Liu Fei continued, "Choosing a joint sponsorship approach will allow both investment banks to participate. This way, we can leverage their respective resource advantages to more effectively promote this listing."

After saying that, he looked at Li Hao, as if waiting for Li Hao's reaction.

Li Hao listened intently and looked up and asked, "For example?"

"Xiajin has extensive resources and experience in the media industry, and if you choose Daxia, they also have strong underwriting capabilities in the technology sector," Liu Fei explained. "The two investment banks each have their own strengths, and working together will allow us to fully leverage their respective advantages and achieve the best results."

After listening to this, Li Hao's concerns gradually subsided.

Liu Fei's analysis is very reasonable. Carrying out this IPO through joint sponsorship can indeed maximize the business advantages of the two companies, complement each other, and attract more investors.

Moreover, the two companies have common goals and visions for cooperation, and such an arrangement will make future collaboration smoother.

Li Hao looked at Liu Fei and smiled, and the uneasiness in his heart gradually dissipated.

He said, "Uncle Liu, your idea is clear to me. If that's the case, I also think joint sponsorship might be a good option. Leveraging the power of Xia Jin and Da Xia to promote this IPO might actually be more effective than operating alone."

Liu Fei nodded with satisfaction and looked at Li Hao with a relieved tone in his voice, "Yes, that's it. Once everything goes well, we can also let the market see the huge potential of the cooperation between our two companies."

When Li Hao heard this, he understood that this was not just a simple issue of listing, but also an opportunity to demonstrate the strength of Noah Technology and Feiyue Media.

They must seize this opportunity, use the advantages of joint sponsorship, and prove to the market the unlimited potential of these two companies in the future.

Just as Li Hao was about to discuss the specific action plan with Liu Fei, he suddenly felt the cell phone in his pocket vibrate.

He took out his cell phone and looked down. It was a new message.

Seeing that the sender was Hu Chao, Li Hao's heart tightened and a hint of nervousness flashed in his eyes.

Seeing the sender on his phone was Hu Chao, his heart tightened. Hu Chao's competition results were out today, and Li Hao knew this would determine whether they could successfully collaborate on Noah Technology's IPO.

He pressed the confirmation button on the phone screen and quickly browsed the message sent by Hu Chao.

“What? How could this happen?!”
