Chapter 33 Lead Underwriter
"How come you have time to come to Suzhou recently? I heard from dad that you are interning in Yanjing, aren't you?"
Li Miaomiao had an uninvited guest at her home in Gusu, her sister Li Shuyao.
Li Shuyao and Li Miaomiao are biological sisters, several years older than her, and are studying at the China Center for Economic Research (CCER) at Yenching University.
Li Xulin himself is a professor of biology, but neither of his two daughters wants to study biology.
In the early years, the children of professors from certain 985 universities in China could study in the 985 universities they were in as long as they passed the first level. In recent years, the policy has been tightened.
Li Shuyao naturally put her luggage in the guest room and fell on the sofa: "Don't tell me, your house is really comfortable."
“This decoration style is my favorite.”
The housing prices in Suzhou are so high that with Li Shuyao’s salary at Kechuang Biotechnology, she needs Li Xulin to sponsor her to be able to afford the down payment.
"Dad is really biased. He bought you a house in Gusu but didn't buy one for me in Yanjing."
Li Miaomiao said helplessly: "He didn't help me buy it, he just lent me money for a down payment. And he can't afford the house in Yanjing even if he wants to buy it for you."
Li Shuyao snorted coldly: "Why don't you ask Zheng Li to borrow a house when you buy it in Gusu? With your relationship, Zheng Li can borrow as much money as you want. You don't have to live in a simple three-bedroom and two-living house. You can directly buy a villa."
Li Shuyao and Li Miaomiao have had a good relationship since childhood, so Li Shuyao always says what she wants to say in front of her and will not hide her inner thoughts.
Li Miaomiao shook his head and said, "It's not necessary."
Li Shuyao: "Why did you give up your studies for him and come to Suzhou, a place you are unfamiliar with, to borrow some money to buy a house?"
Li Miaomiao: "What do you mean it's for him? I gave up my studies because I saw a rare opportunity, and now I'm not picking up my studies again?"
Li Shuyao nodded and said: "Yes, taking a year off from school, participating in the entrepreneurial period of a company with a market value of 100 billion yuan, and directly becoming the vice president, it is indeed a rare opportunity."
"You're right, if I could have met a handsome guy like Zheng Li when I was in school, I wouldn't have to be an intern at CICC now."
"No wonder the ancients said that one is fate, two is luck, three is feng shui, four is accumulation of yin virtue and five is study. I can't compare to you in the first few, so I can only work hard on study."
Li Miaomiao boiled a pot of Pu'er, poured it into a teacup and handed it to her: "Here."
"You haven't said why you suddenly came to Suzhou? You shouldn't be so free during your internship at CICC, right?"
Li Shuyao said helplessly: "Yes, I am now interning at CICC. Isn't your Kechuang Biotech planning to go public recently?"
Li Miaomiao: "Yes, we are planning to go public recently."
Li Shuyao continued: "Kechuang Biotechnology is a big fish, with a simple equity structure and only two years of financial reports. The turnover and profits are very impressive, the financial data are beautiful, and it has core technology."
"Not to mention that your company's market value is as high as 100 billion yuan, making it the largest fish in the underwriting market this year."
"According to internal information from CICC, the China Banking Regulatory Commission expressed its great welcome to the listing of Kechuang Biotech and welcomed the listing of local high-tech companies in China. Everyone speculates that the China Banking Regulatory Commission will give the green light to the listing of Kechuang Biotech."
Li Miaomiao couldn't stand Li Shuyao saying that she didn't talk about the key points for a long time: "Just talk about the key points."
Li Shuyao: "To put it simply, CICC wants to be the lead underwriter for the listing of Science and Technology Biotechnology on the Science and Technology Innovation Board. Such a big fish is definitely not something that one securities firm can capture. It must be jointly underwritten by multiple institutions."
"But CICC wanted to be the lead underwriter. They knew I was your sister, so they brought me to Gusu and said they wanted to go your way and meet Zheng Li."
"As long as CICC can become the lead underwriter of Kechuang Biotech in the end, I can directly stay in the investment banking department of CICC after graduating from graduate school."
Based on Li Shuyao's resume, she received her undergraduate degree from Jiangcheng University and her graduate degree from CCER of Yantai University. It is difficult but not impossible to get to CICC, but it is almost impossible to get a job in the investment banking department of CICC.
The investment banking department is mainly engaged in the primary market, just like supervision, helping developers build houses and then selling them on the market.
The investment banking department is the core department of a securities firm and cannot be entered by ordinary people, let alone in today's increasingly involved world.
Li Miaomiao: "I haven't seen Zheng Li for almost three months. He is in the Lion City. If CICC wants to see him, he will definitely not be able to see him."
Li Shuyao: "You underestimate how much CICC attaches importance to this business. The head of the investment banking department said that as long as Zheng Li is willing to meet him, he is willing to personally lead the team to fly to Lion City."
"They are willing to meet Zheng Li despite the risk of being quarantined for 14 days each time, hahahahaha."
Li Miaomiao asked: "Then let me ask you a question? But I can't guarantee whether Zheng Li is willing to see them."
Li Shuyao pulled Li Miaomiao over and rubbed her head: "No need."
"Does CICC treat me like I have never seen the world? Only if I can handle this deal will I be able to stay in the investment banking department?"
"Isn't this funny?"
"The values of the two are far from matched."
"You don't have to do anything here. In the end, whoever Zheng Li decides will be who he is. Don't bring your subjective color."
"The most important thing is whether you can go to the end with Zheng Li. If you can go to the end with Zheng Li, this is more important than anything else. Zheng Li has become my brother-in-law, and the investment banking department of CICC will beg me to come."
Li Miaomiao was speechless: "What are you talking about? Zheng Li and I are just ordinary friends."
Li Shuyao looked directly into her eyes: "You dare to say that you are not interested in Zheng Li? If you are not interested in Zheng Li, then just help me bring a message to Zheng Li."
Li Miaomiao dodges: "Just because I'm interested in him doesn't mean he's interested in me."
Li Shuyao: "You have to know that Zheng Li is a genius, and he has shown interest in you."
"Geniuses like Zheng Li published a paper on nature for the first time and started a company with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars. Their world is different from other people's."
"From my perspective, Zheng Li's need for feelings must be extremely weak. Love is a part of life for normal people. For Zheng Li, he doesn't want such rich feelings at all. His need for feelings may be much higher than that of ordinary people.
Not even a part of it.”
"Do you think there is anyone of the opposite sex around Zheng Li who is closer to him than you?"
Li Miaomiao suddenly realized: "No, sister, you are indeed an expert in love. What you say is so accurate. But there is one thing. I think Zheng Li's need for love may be only one percent of ordinary people."
Li Shuyao: "So geniuses are not omnipotent. God will close a window when it opens a door for them. They must be deficient in some aspects."
"All you need to do is wait, you don't have to worry about CICC."
