Eternal flower

Yuan Chen, 38 years old, Chinese American, is currently the chairman of Jiahe Group Investment Co., Ltd., and is the founder of Jiahe together with Jiang Li, Qi Shi, Qi Ming, Luo Yi and others.With a calm and introverted personality and a sensitive and dark belly, he is an important force in the founding team. Jiang Li's first bole and ex-boyfriend.

Yuan Chen walked into the conference room, looked at the familiar people and everything, and Jiang Li, who hadn't shown up for a long time and whose face hadn't changed.

"Who is this?" Yuan Chen looked at Lin Fan behind Jiang Li. "Oh, the new assistant to the president." Liang Tao answered hastily.Seeing Liang Tao panicked and trying to avoid embarrassment, Jiang Li said calmly: "It's okay, you can tell, she can listen."

Yuan Chen nodded, "I called you here today because I have something to discuss with you." Yuan Chen sat on his seat and glanced at the people in front of him. "In the past few years, in order for Jiahe to have the motivation to expand, we have successively carried out equity transfer, employee stock ownership, and asset restructuring. Three years ago, the shareholders meeting decided to appoint Wang Yue as the president. During his tenure, the company's performance took a sharp turn for the worse. In the past two years, many shareholders I began to reduce holdings, and I seized the opportunity to take back part of the equity, and finally replaced Wang Yue with some shareholders." Everyone looked at Jiang Li in unison. "However, due to the highly dispersed ownership, some major shareholders continue to increase their holdings in the secondary market. Their style is fierce, and they go straight to the fight for control."

"You mean Wang Jie? Wang Yue was supported by a group of them before." Jiang Li didn't seem to think there was any embarrassment or inappropriateness, probably just the people around thought they would be embarrassed.

"Yes, actually I don't care about the control of the company. Seeing what Wang Yue has done in the past two years, I can almost conclude that they didn't come here to help Jiahe's development. In essence, they just want to erode the company's interests."

"So the purpose of your calling us here is to participate in the equity battle?" Qi Shi next to him had been ignorant of world affairs for many years like Jiang Li, but recently he was suddenly disturbed and nervous by Yuan Chen.

"Yes, we have to find a way to improve the shareholding structure, and hold on to the company's control before there are controlling shareholders who really care about the company's development."

"Sima Zhao's heart." Jiang Li looked at Yuan Chen at the end of the conference table. "You called us into the conference room like this today, and it won't be long before the shareholders hear it. They will only hold on to the shares in their hands tighter, and wait for the tide to rise and the boat will rise, and the fisherman will benefit."

"That's right. But what should we do? They are increasing their holdings crazily now. At this rate, it is estimated that they will have to change people in the next general election. Even Yuan Chen is in danger." Discussions have already begun on the conference table.

"How long until the general election of the board of directors?" Jiang Li asked Liang Tao next to him in a low voice. "There are still nearly three months." Liang Tao knew that Jiang Li never cared about these things, and only wanted to improve his performance and do his job well.

"I'm here to discuss a solution with you, not to see that you are anxious here." Yuan Chen looked at the discussion on the conference table, but no one proposed a solution for a long time.

"Is there any way other than grabbing it hard? Take the money and smash it in the secondary market!" Qi Shi has always lived up to his title of single-mindedness.After finishing speaking, he added solemnly: "We can first estimate the amount of funds on our side." At this time, Jiang Li stared at the monitor of the computer at hand, which was densely packed with candlestick charts and technical indicators.Turning his head and whispering to Qi Shi: "After so many years, you are still so simple and rude?"

"What if the other party's funds are larger than ours?" Yuan Chen sighed, puncturing this simple, crude and thoughtless plan.

"This is the crux of the problem. We don't know how much money the other party has, so we can't fight hard." Luo Yi helped everyone refine the key points of the problem.

"What do you think?" Jiang Li turned her head to look at Lin Fan who was listening in confusion on a whim.Lin Fan was startled, and replied: "I think it is necessary to find a way to acquire equity at a low cost. But you can't suppress the stock price in the secondary market, right? After all, this belongs to the category of stock price manipulation, although I think it can be done at your level. .”

Jiang Li smiled and asked Yuan Chen: "What is the background of Wang Jie and the others?"

"They are not well-educated, but they used to be in the coal business. The advantage is that they are rich and good at dealing with people. It is estimated that they value the big cake of the two blue ocean markets of media and finance, and want to get a ready-made company. Before that, many shareholders were attracted by them, and even transferred their equity. In addition to increasing their holdings in the secondary market, they are now the largest shareholders besides us."

"It's just local tyrants, what's there to be afraid of?" Jiang Li glanced at Yuan Chen contemptuously. "He used money to buy stocks frantically, but he didn't buy elite soldiers. Whether it was Wang Yue who they placed in the company, or Liu Qin who was below, they all looked okay at first glance, but in fact they were mediocre and vulnerable. Yuan Chen, don't tell me that you went to the United States for two months, just to go to Highway [-] to see the scenery?"

Yuan Chen looked at Jiang Li, who was as shrewd and capable as before, and made people feel distressed, "It's really not. I went to Wall Street to dig out my former old classmates."

"It seems that the investment department can finally have a general." Jiang Li knew that Yuan Chen knew the importance of the development of the investment department as much as she did, and the lack of major talents had always been her heartache. "Then the problem will be solved." Looking at the blank faces on the conference table and Yuan Chen staring at himself intently, he continued, "I suggest that everyone start reducing their holdings in the secondary market and cash out. Give the goods to Wang Jie and them."

"I heard you right. Shouldn't we have as many stocks as possible? Why don't we just grab them, and take the initiative to reduce our holdings?" The conference table immediately exploded, and only Yuan Chen was not surprised at all.

"If you want to take it, you must give it first." While studying the details of Wang Jie and his group's receipt of goods in the secondary market, Jiang Li concluded that this is a battle that can only be won but not lost.

At this moment, a black-haired, blue-eyed, muscular man in a suit and leather shoes walked into the conference room, and Yuan Chen saw him beckoning him to come in and sit down.I saw him with three-dimensional facial features, smiling like He Xun's sunshine, speaking not very fluent Chinese, looked at Jiang Li and said, "Wonderful, it seems that we have the same understanding of the market."

Yuan Chen looked at the crowd with confused expressions, "Let me introduce, this is my old classmate, the Wall Street elite." He explained: "They think that the market situation will take a turn for the worse in two months, not only the Hong Kong market, but also the global market. So I hope We immediately started to reduce our holdings and cash out, and then increase our holdings in batches when the market enters a downward channel.”

"One of us can be responsible for organizing the reduction of holdings and cashing out, and the other is responsible for the layout of short selling." Tilting his head, he stared at Jiang Li with deep eyes and a smile on his face.Jiang Li nodded her head in agreement and didn't look at him again.

"Employers are not suspicious, I choose to trust them. How about all of you?"

"Of course, Mr. Jiang's level of strength is obvious to all. She led our company to break through the financial sector, and she has contributed a lot to today. If they are willing to lead us out of the predicament, we will definitely trust them." They are part of the shareholders of the company, but they are also an inseparable entrepreneurial team. Their understanding of helping each other, living and dying together, and trusting each other is deeper than many people.

After the meeting, Liang Tao pulled Yuan Chen to reminisce about the old days, while Jiang Li asked, "I'm going to parachute you to be the head of the investment department, do you mind?" .

Smiling, he put his right hand on his left chest, and bowed slightly: "It's a great honor." Lin Fan looked at it, thinking that this was probably the sympathy between the elites, followed Yuan Chen and Liang Tao out, Jiang Li saw Lin Fan next to him was still staring at his back, and shook his hand in front of her. "Hey, what are you doing? Like it? The eyes are almost growing on other people."

"I...how can I." Lin Fan regained his senses and defended himself.

"It's normal to like it. Don't say it's better than your drug-addicted boyfriend. It's 01:30. If you get fired one day, you can't think about it."

"Why do I have to wait to be fired?" Lin Fan asked subconsciously, and after asking, he found something was wrong. Why was I fired?

"Because the company does not allow office romance." Jiang Li clarified the rules and regulations to Lin Fan confidently.

"You only allow state officials to set fire!" Lin Fan felt speechless when he thought of Yuan Chen being Jiang Li's ex-boyfriend and the company's rules and regulations. "Why didn't you say that there were such rules and regulations before?"

"The past was the past, and the present is the present. The rules are always improving." All arguments were futile in front of Jiang Li, but she was surprised to find that Lin Fan's attention had indeed been attracted. "If you get together and break up again, it will definitely affect your work."

Apart from asking Liang Tao to notify things on his behalf, Lin Fan really didn't find any embarrassment in Yuan Chen and Jiang Li's work, and felt that nothing had happened to them.Thinking of this, she felt that Jiang Li had a new level of cold-bloodedness in her mind. "You act like nothing happened? How did you do it?"

"Unless someone mentions it repeatedly at work, I really don't feel embarrassed, probably because it's not true love." Jiang Li's tone was as calm and indifferent as usual.

"Isn't it true love? Have you guys kissed before? Is there anything like that?" Lin Fan was surprised by the sense of distance in their relationship. The two of them seemed serious and indifferent. How did they get along?Jiang Li squinted at Lin Fan, feeling that she was about to be blinded by this assistant. "I'm not you, and I don't take low-level physical contact as pleasure in relationships. Also, you are not allowed to talk about private matters during working hours!"

"Oh..." When did I take physical contact as fun, I am very self-loving, okay?Lin Fan was thinking while being choked back by Jiang Li. "Mr. Jiang, let me treat you to dinner tonight."

Jiang Li's eyes widened: "Why did you bribe the leader? And you even mentioned working hours..."

Lin Fan raised the hand on his wrist to Jiang Li, which showed [-]:[-] p.m. "The leader is already off work, so you don't work overtime today?"

"...Okay then, what to eat?"

"Eat the roadside stall." Lin Fan didn't know where he got the confidence that Jiang Li would agree to go to the roadside stall together.

"Well, eating at a roadside stall makes it look like you're not bribing me." With Lin Fan's economic level, Jiang Li would feel uneasy if he invited Jiang Li to a big meal.

In a small alley, Jiang Li and Lin Fan were sitting by the side of the street eating Chengdu Malatang.

"Hey, I didn't expect you to eat this kind of thing. I thought you had a lot of self-control."

"What is this kind of thing? What's wrong with our Chengdu Malatang? Besides, no amount of self-control can beat me as a Taurus." Jiang Li didn't expect that many years later, she would eat Chengdu Malatang with her subordinates on the streets of Beijing.

"Haha, so you are a Taurus, and I am that constellation that everyone hates."

"Are you a Virgo too?"

"Why also?"

"It's nothing. To be precise, I'm a Taurus Gemini." Jiang Li changed the topic naturally.

"You also know that there is such a thing as constellation mixed blood. To be precise, I am a Leo-Virgo."

"Actually, I don't believe that."

"Then you still know that much?"

"Is there anything I don't understand?"

"Yes, yes, you are so powerful that you can do anything. By the way, is the market really going to take a sharp turn in two months? How do you see it?"

"Do you want to steal from a teacher after eating Mala Tang?" Jiang Li pointed to the red soup pot in front of him and said.

"I'm just curious, why you can see it, but we didn't notice it while staring at the K-line. Is it experience? How long have you been in contact with the market?"

"When I was in junior high school, that is, the year my mother died of cervical cancer, I really wanted to make money by myself, so I used my mother's stock account. At that time, my money was only enough to buy the cheapest stock, and I only bought one lot. I Before my mother left, she left me a card, although there was not much money in it, but I never touched it. I think as long as the money is still there, her care for me will be there.”

Lin Fan stopped what he was doing and stared intently at Jiang Li who was opposite him.

"At that time, I had little capital, no experience, and little money. After graduating from high school, I only had the travel expenses to leave home and the tuition fees for the first semester of university. I bought a train ticket and sat in Beijing. I just came to Beijing. At that time, I paid the tuition fee in the card issued by the school. I was basically penniless. I slept under the overpass or on the bench in the park for the first few nights. Until I found a job cleaning dishes, I stayed until the school started and moved in. dormitory."

"Where's your father? Doesn't he care about yours?" Lin Fan felt a little unbelievable.

"Don't mention him to me!" Jiang Li said with uncontrollable anger and disgust. "I'm sorry." Lin Fan felt as if he had poked someone's pain point.

"When I first entered college, I took classes during the day and worked part-time at night. In my spare time, I would pay attention to the stock futures and foreign exchange markets. Later, I found an internship and was assigned to the trading team. At that time, our leader was Yuan Chen. Talented in trading, after resigning, he pulled me into the entrepreneurial team he formed, which was Jiahe, who was just starting out at that time.”

Jiang Li felt that it had been a long time since there was anyone around her who could talk so much.While talking, she found that Lin Fan's eyes were red. "You are really strange, why do you cry so much?" After speaking, he handed her a tissue.

"You're surprised, okay, telling such a sad story without any response."

"For me, these things have been turned over a long time ago. Besides, I have understood a truth since I was a child. Crying does not solve any problems."

"You are really strong like a rough guy, come and eat some meat." After speaking, he put the meat in the ginger glass bowl.Jiang Li found that Lin Fan's bowl was full of vegetable leaves. "Why don't you eat?"

"I just like to eat vegetables, so I look beautiful."

"So you are so weak, so what if you look good, can you sell yourself?"

"What does eating vegetables have to do with being weak?"

"Look, animals that eat grass in nature are basically eaten by animals that eat meat. The food chain is very clear, so you can only be my employee."

Lin Fan was speechless, "That's right, so I've sold myself to you, haven't I?"

In the imperial capital at nightfall, in the alleys dappled with lights, two girls of different classes and personalities smiled at each other.
