Chen Tianlin glanced at Li Jie apologetically.
"Sorry, I can only stop here today, Xiao Xie, we will have a good talk after you join the job!"
Li Jie nodded. This is what investment bankers are like. They will always encounter various emergencies in the process of doing projects. He had encountered such a situation before when he was doing financing projects in the United States. It happened to be a critical time for financing. There was a thunderstorm, and in the end the company's financing plan fell through. Early investors lost all their money, and the founder was forced to go bankrupt.
Li Jie has never heard of the name 'Yunfan Group'. It is probably a relatively unknown company. It is very difficult for a company to go public. It is possible to encounter any accidents during the process, including not limited to the malicious intentions of competitors. Reporting, financial fraud, major shareholder lawsuits, etc.
This is especially true for star companies. For example, Theranos, a star company in Silicon Valley, suffered a thunderstorm last year, causing investors to lose all their money. At that time, Li Jie decisively suggested that senior executives reduce their holdings, which saved Goldman Sachs huge losses. This is why Goldman Sachs One of the reasons why he was reluctant to let Li Jie return to China.
Theranos is a blood testing company. Its founder, Elizabeth Holmes, dropped out of Stanford University and founded the company when she was 19 years old. She is also an alumnus of Li Jie.
How famous is this company?
Founded in 2003, the company is estimated to have exceeded US$9 billion ten years later, and has been rated as the 'world-changing startup company' second only to Tesla. Its founder, Holmes, is even known as the 'female version of Steve Jobs'. People who have endorsed her include Silicon Valley and political tycoons such as Oracle founder, newspaper tycoon Rupert Murdoch, and the former Secretary of State of the United States.
Holmes's boo is to "subvert traditional blood testing methods." Testers no longer need to go to the hospital for complicated and lengthy blood tests. They only need to collect a few drops of blood on their fingertips, and the test can be done within four hours. Get more than 240 test results at half the cost of the hospital.
The founder of Theranos is also a wonderful person. The reason why he has been able to deceive him for so many years is due to the American anti-intellectualism, which particularly likes this kind of booing that challenges authority. On the other hand, it is due to the superb skills of Holmes. Internally, they adopted an extremely strict information confidentiality system, threatened internal employees with legal means to prohibit them from leaking secrets to the outside world, and externally, they played logic games, openly built plank roads in secret, and used civet cats to exchange princes.
When dealing with investors, he lies about figures and performance, deceives superiors and deceives subordinates, and does everything possible. It is quite like the American version of Boss Jia. However, the Boss Jia in this world has not yet started to run away, or it should be said that Boss Jia is the Chinese version. Holmes.
If an investigative reporter hadn't targeted Theranos, I'm afraid this drama that has been going on for more than ten years could still continue.
It was just before eleven o'clock when Li Jie walked out of the building. Since the parking spaces in Huaxin Building were full, his car was parked in a nearby open-air parking lot. This car was prepared for him by Xie Shan, a Volvo. In addition, a house has been prepared, both of which were designated by Li Jie. The house is located at No. 20, Happy Song Community, and Guan Ju'er and the others live at No. 19.
Li Jie originally planned to buy a house on the 19th, but later he thought it was a bit too deliberate. In addition, there was no vacant house on the 19th, so he bought a house next door.
In the past ten years, under Li Jie's guidance, Xie Shan's career has developed smoothly, from the original roadside stall 'King' to a chain catering giant in the northwest region. Even the Magic City has opened three restaurants. He's worth about two billion.
Logically speaking, with Li Jie behind him, Xie Shan's assets will definitely not be just this little, but Xie Shan's pioneering spirit is not there. Since his remarriage five years ago, his enterprising spirit has plummeted, and then He had a son in his old age, and now he is focused on his family, leaving all business matters to professional managers.
Originally, Xie Shan prepared a better house and car for Li Jie, but Li Jie rejected it. Li Jie could still distinguish the priorities of this mission world, and giving Xie Shan advice was just a matter of convenience, mainly for the sake of Find something for him to do so that he can get out of the shadow of his last marriage earlier.
Later, Xie Shan re-established a family and gave birth to a son. Even if he abandoned his career, Li Jie thought it was okay. After all, money is enough. Li Jie directly refused Xie Shan's proposal to leave all the family property to himself. .
To be honest, Li Jie really didn't like Xie Shan's little family property. Instead of making trouble for the family property, it would be better to take the initiative to give up the inheritance rights and save Xie Shan from being caught in the middle.
Ode to Joy Community, Building 19.
Guan Ju'er opened the door to 2202 with great concern. This interview gave her a bad feeling. First of all, she failed in terms of dress.
Click!
"Guan Guan! Sorry!"
Before Guan Juer could put away her backpack, Qiu Yingying swooped over and hugged her tightly.
"Ouch! Yingying, what are you doing? I'm so strangled that I can't breathe."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Yingying quickly let go of Guan Ju'er and looked up and down carefully in a hurry.
"I'm sorry, Guan Guan, I didn't mean it, but I almost made you late for the interview today. Fortunately, you caught up in the end, otherwise I would have regretted it for the rest of my life."
Guan Ju'er glanced helplessly at the poor Qiu Yingying. She had long been used to this roommate being always startled.
"Yingying, didn't you just say this on the phone? It doesn't matter. I wasn't late anyway."
Qiu Yingying chuckled, her expression changed, and she started laughing again.
"Guan Guan, tell me quickly, how was your interview today?"
When Guan Yong'er heard the word 'interview', her face fell instantly. When Qiu Yingying saw this, no matter how stupid she was, she knew something was wrong.
Kick! Kick!
In the blink of an eye, Qiu Yingying ran into the room without even saying hello. It was impossible to tell that she was still a painful girl in the morning.
"Dang! Dang! Dang!"
"Guan Guan, what do you think this is?"
Qiu Yingying ran to Guan Ju'er as if she was offering a treasure in a box, while making exaggerated body language.
Afterwards, Qiu Yingying saw that Guan Ju'er was not in high spirits, so she pulled Guan Ju'er to the restaurant, put the box on the table, and opened the box three times, five times five times two times.
"Look! Your favorite RS macarons!"
Guan Yong'er saw the colorful macarons on the table, and then looked at Qiu Yingying. This store was a bit far away from where they lived. When she thought that Qiu Yingying was sick, she would go so far to buy it, which really touched her heart.
When she thought of this, her mood suddenly became better.
"Yingying, you are such a little angel, so kind to me!"
Qiu Yingying smiled naively: "No...it's nothing."
