Chapter 529 Investor Night 1

Chapter 529 Investor Night 1 (Additional Update)
Inside the black Bentley.

Wang Yubo put down his phone, his expression gloomy and cold.

"Director Wang..." Ren Mingyuan noticed his strangeness and whispered, "Did Yu Yan still refuse?"

Wang Yubo sneered, "She hung up my phone and blocked me on WeChat. It seems like she is determined to stick to this path until the end."

Ren Mingyuan frowned, with a puzzled tone in his voice: "Shouldn't it be like this? I have explained the reason thoroughly enough, she should understand what is the right choice."

As Shen Yuyan's senior, a successful entrepreneur who started from scratch and now leads the company to complete the C round of financing, he knows Shen Yuyan's character and abilities very well.

This is a very smart woman with high emotional intelligence and high IQ. She is good at observing people's words and expressions and knows how to use her advantages to achieve her goals.

Moreover, she is not content with being ordinary and aspires to stand at a higher position, pursuing career success and maximizing personal value.

She has a strong desire to climb up, admires the strong and is ambitious.

This kind of woman usually doesn't make impulsive decisions.

Even at the beginning, because of his self-esteem and pride, he showed resistance to Wang Yubo's "recruitment".

But after a day of calm thinking, she should face the reality and take the opportunity to participate in the event to admit her mistake.

Even if it is just a pretense, we should first stabilize them and ensure that Youjie Housekeeping successfully completes the financing.

But the fact is - she actually refused.

Wang Yubo lit a cigarette and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke. "Originally I wanted to give her a chance, but now it seems that, haha. Since she doesn't know how to cherish the opportunity, I will use the cruelest way to let her understand how insignificant she is."

Ren Mingyuan hesitated for a moment and suggested cautiously: "Director Wang, this is too costly. How about letting me try to communicate with Yu Yan again? After all, our previous cooperation was quite smooth, and she might just be acting on impulse."

Wang Yubo glanced at him and said in a cold voice: "Why? Are you feeling sorry for your schoolmate?"

"That's not what I meant," Ren Mingyuan explained quickly. "I just think that Youjie Housekeeping is just a small company and it's not worth spending so many resources on it. We can definitely find other alternatives. Why do we have to..."

Wang Yubo interrupted him and said in an unquestionable tone: "Do as I say!"

"Okay...Okay, Mr. Wang, I understand." Ren Mingyuan nodded helplessly, then changed the subject and began to report on Win-Win Technology's next financing and listing plans.

In fact, Win-Win Technology itself is not a truly large enterprise.

Although the valuation in the C round reached about 4.6 million, the cash flow was not sufficient.

In order to promote the development of the company and pave the way for listing on the New Third Board, they established a strategic investment department to obtain traffic entrances, value-added services, and expand market layout by investing in some small enterprises with potential business cooperation.

To this end, they contacted four small housekeeping companies similar to Youjie Housekeeping at the same time.

It is hoped that by establishing vague and targeted investment terms, these companies will gradually be turned into subsidiary tools of Win-Win Technology.

In comparison, Youjie Housekeeping's terms are already the most lenient.

After all, Shen Yuyan is Ren Mingyuan’s schoolmate and a key case of matchmaking by the Entrepreneurship Incubation Park.

For example, a bet agreement in which the investment funds are paid in two installments will basically not cause any problems according to normal business development.

Even if the performance is slightly insufficient, the most that can be achieved is to give up part of the control of the company (such as the review of large capital expenditures), and the second investment can still be obtained in the end.

As for the buyback clause, it is almost impossible to trigger it.

According to the agreement, the repurchase mechanism will only be triggered when the company encounters major financial problems, core team members leave, performance declines significantly, or there are illegal and irregular activities.

Therefore, Shen Yuyan and others signed their agreement.

After all, in their view, these conditions are almost impossible to achieve at the same time.

It is also much more reasonable than the performance targets and listing plans set by other investment institutions.

Even for Win-Win Technology, the purpose is not to allow them to repurchase shares. That amount of money is far less than the profits from listing.

They really want Youjie Housekeeping to develop as a tool for win-win technology traffic generation, rather than going to great lengths to get a failed housekeeping company.

Initially, Wang Yubo's plan was to use capital operations to kick Shen Yuyan out of the core management, have Win-Win Technology take control of the company's operations, and then attract her to rejoin with a high salary or position.

In this way, you can both control the situation and avoid direct conflict.

However, Shen Yuyan not only rejected his proposal, but also openly showed disgust and resistance.

This completely angered Wang Yubo.

For him, this was a humiliation and had to be fought back.

As the major shareholder of Youjie Housekeeping, Gongying Technology holds 44.4% of the shares, which gives it certain control rights, a veto over major decisions, and more importantly, a "co-managed account."

Through these means, the business of Youjie Housekeeping can be directly affected, causing them to have financial problems.

As for illegal and irregular behaviors, they are actually easy to find.

As a housekeeping company, the staff turnover is extremely high, and Shen Yuyan has strict control over costs. In fact, there are many things that can be dug deeper, such as employee social security payments and resignation disputes.

These are not problems once a professional team of lawyers gets involved.

As for the departure of core team members?

Ren Mingyuan was even less worried. For example, his junior Wang Ning, who also graduated from the School of Computer Science, had talked a lot with him in private.

Wang Ning was full of yearning for technology companies like Gongying Technology that were about to go public, and he had previously had great dissatisfaction with Hou Shaoyuan and Zhang Tianqi.

As long as he extends an olive branch and makes certain promises, the other party will definitely agree.

However, this would consume a great deal of time and cost, and might even require lengthy litigation and wrangling, with the results not coming out until next year. It would definitely be a losing deal.

But who made Wang Yubo angry? As a major shareholder of Win-Win Technology and an executive of Mingjian Capital, the lead investor in the C round, his words represent the company’s will.

The neon lights on both sides of the Huangpu River gradually light up.

Ren Mingyuan gazed at the river in the distance through the car window, his eyes flashing with complex and deep light.

Class advancement has always been cruel, especially under the crushing of capital, the struggles of grassroots entrepreneurs often seem insignificant or even futile.

Didn't he also have to overcome many obstacles along the way?
In order to gain a firm foothold, he chose to compromise with capital, and even parted ways with his "good friends" and partners who had fought side by side with him in the past, kicking them out of the company. Only then did he barely climb to his current position.

And Shen Yuyan...she had the opportunity to achieve her goal in an easier way, but she chose this thorny path.

……

Outside the Hai'an Tiankeyuan community.

Sun Jiayue and Zhang Nuo walked out of the community side by side and stood on the roadside to the right of the gate, waiting quietly.

It took a while.

"Are we almost there?" Zhang Nuo's tone was a little anxious. He looked down at his watch from time to time, then looked up at the intersection in the distance.

Sun Jiayue raised her hand to smooth the wind-blown hair on her temples and said soothingly, "We'll be there soon, wait a little longer."

Zhang Nuo sighed and complained quietly, "These rich people are different. They clearly agreed on a meeting time, but they still left us here to dry out the window. I told my leader that we should gather at the registration office at 4:40."

Unlike Sun Jiayue, she works as an investment analyst in a large financial services institution (Kaifeng Wealth).

She attended this event as an assistant to her leader, and her main task was to assist in client connection work.

She naturally hoped to arrive earlier to avoid delaying her trip.

In fact, the news of the "Investors' Night" event was first heard by Sun Jiayue through Zhang Nuo.

Later, Sun Jiayue successfully obtained the invitation letter through the company's channels. "Don't worry, I won't be late." Sun Jiayue whispered to comfort him.

Zhang Nuo curled his lips and said with a hint of regret: "What a pity! I was thinking of communicating more with Tang Song during the banquet. Sigh——"

Sun Jiayue's expression froze for a moment, then she forced a smile. "I can't help it. Things suddenly changed. And... I thought about it later. It's a bit risky to let him pretend to be a 'tech upstart'. He doesn't know much about the industry, and I'm afraid it will be awkward."

Zhang Nuo rolled his eyes and muttered, "What's there to be embarrassed about? Haven't you noticed? People like Tang Song can handle themselves easily no matter where they are. It's like they have their own aura."

At this point, a hint of girlish shyness appeared on her face. "To be honest, I think he is very attractive. Not only is he handsome, but he also speaks maturely. He is totally unlike the ordinary programmer you mentioned."

Sun Jiayue patted her shoulder gently and said half-jokingly: "Okay, Nuonuo, stop imagining. Tang Song and Liu Qingning have a good relationship. They will get together sooner or later."

When they first met, Sun Jiayue felt that Tang Song was not worthy of Liu Qingning; but after getting to know each other, she gradually changed her mind.

The two are actually quite a good match, and Tang Song is much better than expected.

Top-notch looks are a scarce resource, and with his current temperament and conversation, his future is bright.

"Hey, what nonsense are you talking about!" Zhang Nuo pretended to be angry and pushed her, "I'm just admiring you! Humph, if Tang Song really pursues you, will you not be tempted?"

"I'm not as superficial as you." Although Sun Jiayue said this, the image of Tang Song standing by the river unconsciously emerged in her mind - tall and calm, as if he was born to be under the spotlight.

If a boy like this really came to pursue her, then...it would be really hard for her to resist.

Just then, the ringing of the cell phone broke the brief silence.

Sun Jiayue took out her cell phone, took a look at it, and quickly answered: "Hello, Pengyuan."

"Okay, Nono and I are at the gate."

Just after hanging up the phone, a black Mercedes-Benz Maybach came into view.

The car body glows with a low-key and luxurious luster in the sunset, and the smooth lines outline a solemn and noble sense.

The car stopped steadily in front of them.

The driver's window slowly lowered, revealing Xu Pengyuan's smiling face.

"I'll be the guest driver today. Jiayue, you sit in the passenger seat, and Nuonuo and Brother Liu will sit in the back."

Then, the rear window was lowered, revealing Liu Jing's calm and composed appearance.

"Good evening, Brother Liu, this is my friend, Zhang Nuo." Sun Jiayue introduced politely.

"Brother Liu." Zhang Nuo nodded obediently.

Liu Jing nodded slightly at the two of them and said, "Get in the car."

The two of them responded and sat in carefully.

The interior of the car is spacious, the leather seats are soft to the touch, and the air is filled with a faint wood fragrance, making people feel very comfortable.

The car started slowly and drove away from the roadside.

Xu Pengyuan smiled and joked, "This car is Brother Liu's. It's my first time driving it, so I was very careful on the road. Plus there was a traffic jam, so I kept you waiting for a long time. Blame it on me."

Sun Jiayue waved her hand quickly: "It doesn't matter, it's still early anyway, we'll just have to wait there."

Zhang Nuo nodded, but couldn't help but secretly look at the "big boss" Liu Jing beside him.

It is said that he is a representative of an industrial family from Ningbo that has transformed into the investment field and is currently actively looking for high-quality investment opportunities.

As a financial practitioner, I always have a natural yearning and curiosity for people with wealth.

This emotion has nothing to do with selfishness, but is driven by professional sensitivity.

Sensing that the atmosphere in the car was a little reserved, Xu Pengyuan spoke up at the right time: "Everyone, don't be so reserved. Although Brother Liu is a real boss, he is actually very approachable."

He deliberately emphasized the words "by billions" and paused slightly.

Several people smiled knowingly, and the originally tense atmosphere suddenly became a lot more relaxed.

Sun Jiayue and Zhang Nuo quickly picked up on the topic and started chatting. The topics ranged from the weather in Shanghai to the latest hot investment projects, and always revolved around Liu Jing.

Liu Jing always had a faint smile on his face, and seemed quite satisfied with such interaction.

Dusk is getting darker.

The Maybach drove slowly northward along Pudong South Road, gradually approaching the entrance to the underground parking lot of the Magic City International Convention Center.

Liu Jing casually lowered the car window and let the evening breeze blow across his face.

Just as they were about to arrive.

A deep and powerful engine sound cut through the air, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Sun Jiayue and Zhang Nuo subconsciously turned their heads to look out the window. The iconic taillights drew a dazzling trail in the night.

The Lamborghini did not drive away, but parked steadily at the entrance area of ​​the conference center's parking lot, just in front of the Maybach.

Zhang Nuo couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "It seems that this car owner is also here to participate in the event."

Liu Jing smiled slightly, "This is the Aventador SVJ. It should be modified to imitate the 63 limited edition. I also wanted to buy one before."

Xu Pengyuan shook his head and said jokingly, "Haha, driving this kind of car to the conference center is a bit too high-profile. For someone like Brother Liu, a Maybach is more suitable."

He runs a family office and comes into contact with many second-generation people, many of whom are flamboyant and high-profile figures like this.

Sun Jiayue glanced at the luxury cars around her, and a determined light flashed in her eyes.

He said softly, "But this also shows that the standard of tonight's event is not low. Brother Liu will definitely gain something by participating."

For her, this event is of great significance.

If she can successfully attract two or three LPs (limited partners), she will be able to successfully complete her fundraising mission this year.

The car drove into the underground parking lot.

Finally, the Lamborghini stopped at a parking space and reversed into the garage smoothly.

Xu Pengyuan parked the Maybach in an empty space not far away.

Zhang Nuo's eyes were still on the Lamborghini diagonally opposite.

But the next second, her expression suddenly froze, and she blurted out: "Tang Song?"

"Huh?" Sun Jiayue was stunned for a moment, "What's wrong, Nuonuo?"

Zhang Nuo patted her on the shoulder and pointed in a direction.

Sun Jiayue followed her gaze and her pupils suddenly contracted.

A familiar figure was standing next to the sharp Lamborghini.

He changed into a well-tailored dark suit with a white shirt underneath, looking handsome, tall, confident and free and easy.

Next to him was a sexy and beautiful woman wearing a business suit and carrying a Chanel bag.

Her every move was elegant and she was smiling as she talked to him.

This pair of handsome man and beautiful woman seemed to have their own halo, emitting dazzling brilliance in the dim underground parking lot.
