Chapter 1586 Xie Jinlian meets ‘Boss Boss’ Lu Jie for the first time
In fact, in the financial industry, money is paramount. The relationship between men and women has always been relatively complicated. Many of them are dedicated to serving money. It is not uncommon for beauty to gain power. It is not uncommon.
It's just that Xie Meilan has not reached that shameless level after all. It is precisely because she still cares about her own face that she is so angry with the rumors that her liver hurts. Unlike an old oily like Lu Jie, her face is not red. , breathless, and didn’t take it seriously at all.
Being scolded as Pan Jinlian was a great shame and humiliation for Xie Meilan. Although she did get involved with Lu Jie, it was also because of what happened after her relationship with Shen Lei broke up. She even wanted a divorce. It was Shen Lei keeps dragging her away. Doesn't it mean that she has to stay safe if he keeps dragging her away like this?
Then this is too unfair to her. She has the freedom to choose love.
Besides, who is Pan Jinlian, and how does she resemble Pan Jinlian? She has no intention of harming Shen Lei at all. Not only is she ready to cleanse herself and leave the house, but she is also willing to give him money to compensate. Shen Lei is unwilling, and this is understandable. she?
She felt that what she had done was benevolent enough, and she did not feel any guilt towards Shen Lei. Instead, she felt that Shen Lei's actions had caused her a lot of trouble. What she hated most was Shen Lei's weak character who could not handle things. .
She even felt that Shen Lei's behavior was dragging her down and delaying her. If Shen Lei divorced her earlier, there would be no such rumors.
It's so hard to get divorced. Isn't that just useless?
In the evening, after Xie Meilan and Lu Jie had some activities, the two of them leaned together. Lu Jie looked tired and satisfied, but Xie Meilan's eyebrows were filled with spring, and she was still full of meaning.
Xie Meilan is very satisfied with Lu Jie. Although he is ten years older than her, his appearance is not bad and he can dress himself up. The most important thing is that his financial conditions are countless times higher than that of Shen Lei. He is a successful person and can satisfy her. All material needs, so she accepted Lu Jie half-heartedly.
But there is also a dissatisfaction, that is, Lu Jie's body is no longer young. Even if he exercises, he is still in his early forties. His endurance and energy are not as good as those of young people. Naturally, his abilities in that area are also far inferior to those of young people. Compared with Shen Lei was much worse off, and she was as young as a wolf and a tiger, so every time she couldn't get up or down, it was quite uncomfortable.
As a man, there are hurdles every ten years, and sometimes you can’t accept it even if you don’t accept it.
It's just that these are not problems for Xie Meilan. There are gains and losses, and she doesn't have much need in this area for the time being.
Taking advantage of this moment, Xie Meilan talked about the trouble that rumors have caused her recently.
Lu Jie said very domineeringly: "It's okay. I will emphasize it again in the meeting tomorrow and punish a few people so that they will not dare to talk behind their backs anymore. You don't need to take it to heart. As for those people in your department, you don't need to be polite to them. The superiors must not only be capable, but also have authority. If they are disobedient and directly act cruelly to scare the monkeys, they will not dare to treat you in a negative way again in the future."
After all, he has been a vice president for many years. Lu Jie still has some tricks. With his current status, he doesn't have to worry about rumors at all. Investment companies serve money. As long as he can make money, the general manager and shareholders above him will support him.
He and the little characters below don't care about what they think at all.
"I see."
After all, Xie Meilan graduated from a prestigious school and had a master's degree. She was smart and capable. However, she was just a small clerk before. She had not changed her mentality not long after she took the job. Her methods of doing things were a bit petty, but she was reminded by Lu Jie.
, she knew what she should do.
So when she went to work the next day, she caught a few of the most cheerful employees and reprimanded them severely. This move frightened the monkeys, and the effect was extraordinary. Even if those people were dissatisfied with her, they did not dare to give in to her again.
She was embarrassed.
In the private room of the hotel, Zhou Chen and Mr. Yao exchanged glasses, and the atmosphere at the wine table was lively.
During this period, because of the investigation into Lu Jie, Zhou Chen intentionally contacted Mr. Yao. After Mr. Yao learned about Zhou Chen's situation and knew that Zhou Chen was a colleague and was very powerful and had strong capital, he naturally had a strong desire to
The heart of friendship.
Xinglian Investment Bank is also a well-known investment company in Beijing. Its scale is not small, but it is not top-notch or medium-level.
The current economic environment is not very good, and the overall situation can barely be said to remain stable. However, Xinglian Investment Bank's profits are on a downward trend compared with previous years, because the domestic project investment opportunities are indeed not as good as before.
Xinglian Investment Bank's business is basically domestic, but Zhou Chen's investment company in Xiangjiang has developed very well in the past two years, especially this year, it has invested in several projects in succession, and has received great returns, and its development has increased rapidly.
Extremely fast.
What Mr. Yao values most is that Zhou Chen’s Chenxing Capital’s main business is not in China, but in Hong Kong and Macao, and is also involved in Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, and even Europe and the United States.
Domestic competition pressure is too great. Xinglian Investment Bank wants to develop externally, but it does not have the capital and strategic resources. It just so happens that Zhou Chen’s business does not conflict with Xinglian Investment Bank in the slightest. If they can cooperate with Zhou Chen, what will happen to Xinglian Investment Bank?
For investment banks, this is definitely a positive development and very good.
One of the two parties wanted win-win cooperation, the other wanted an excuse to target Lu Jie. Lang Youqing was interested in concubine, so naturally the conversation was very happy and smooth.
"Mr. Tang, I have always heard from Mr. Tang that you have a unique vision in investment. We are both in the securities investment industry. We can communicate more in the future."
"Mr. Yao, you are a senior. I should learn more from you. However, most of my investment directions are in Hong Kong. I only started to involve Southeast Asia, Japan, Korea, Europe and the United States last year, but they are all
A small fight can't compare to the big deal of Xinglian Investment Bank."
Zhou Chen and Mr. Yao compliment each other and have a very harmonious relationship. Zhou Chen is well aware of Mr. Yao's show of kindness.
At one dinner, when Zhou Chen was discussing cooperation with the bosses of other companies, Mr. Yao was at the scene and invested tens of millions at his request. Such a large sum really surprised Mr. Yao.
Tens of millions is not a small amount, but it does not shock Mr. Yao. The main reason is that Zhou Chen behaved too casually. He just chatted casually for an hour or two at the wine table and then made the decision to invest, just like eating and drinking.
Water is as simple as water, so he looked at Zhou Chen in a more special light.
Regardless of whether Zhou Chen is young and conceited or decisive in his actions, it is definitely much easier to work with such a cheerful person than with those who are nagging.
It was at that time that Mr. Yao felt that Zhou Chen was interested in the domestic market, and Xinglian Investment Bank happened to be interested in the overseas market, so he started to think about it.
"That's a joke. Your Chenxing Investment is booming now, but it's not like our Xinglian Investment Bank, which is getting worse and worse. If you guys are just making small troubles, then we can't even be counted as small troubles?"
Mr. Yao is very modest. In terms of overall scale, Xinglian Investment Bank is definitely bigger. After all, it has been a large company for more than ten years.
But Zhou Chen’s Chenxing Capital is not simple either. In just three years since its establishment, it has grown year by year. The scale may not look big, but the company’s profitability is real, its business capabilities are even more outstanding, and the company’s development is booming.
, I don’t know how many companies want to raise funds for Chenxing Capital.
"Well sir, we are all investors. If there is a chance, we can cooperate. What do you think?"
Facing Mr. Yao's urgent gaze, Zhou Chen pretended to hesitate. It didn't matter whether he cooperated or not. What mattered was that he had a reason to enter Xinglian Real Estate and get in touch with Lu Jie.
"Mr. Yao, my Chenxing Capital rarely does domestic business. I only drank with Mr. Tang and the others twice last time and made two investments. But to be honest, those two investments were actually just to make friends. According to their business methods,
, I don’t know when I can get my money back.”
Mr. Yao's expression changed slightly. He invested tens of millions just to make friends? No wonder everyone likes to make friends with you. He also wants to make this friend.
"The general point is that when we invest, of course we want short return cycles and high returns, but such opportunities are hard to find now. The market is sluggish. Even for investment banks like us, the domestic market is
It’s getting harder and harder to do.”
Zhou Chen followed his words and said: "It's difficult to do business in the domestic market. You can try foreign markets, especially places in Southeast Asia. Now they also have economic potential and policy advantages. There are still many opportunities."
Mr. Yao smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that simple. Everyone knows there are opportunities there, but the problem is that the countries in Southeast Asia are in chaos. Without the support of local forces, it is too difficult to gain a foothold there."
Some countries in Southeast Asia are generally relatively backward, but precisely because of their backwardness, there are more problems and the local area is more chaotic. People who do all kinds of evil things have many opportunities to make money, but it is very difficult to take the gold away.
Zhou Chen also used Xiangjiang as his foundation and slowly penetrated through various methods, such as money to open the way, cooperation and profit sharing, etc., so that he could make money from there.
Opening a company to do business is different from online stock trading. You can operate it with a computer or a mobile phone. In reality, there are too many issues to consider when doing business.
"Mr. Na, I won't beat around the bush. In fact, I really want to cooperate with Mr. Na. Our Xinglian Investment Bank and Chenxing Capital can cooperate. Xinglian Investment Bank helps Chenxing Capital enter the domestic market, and Chenxing Capital takes Xinglian Investment Bank."
Entering the international market, we can achieve mutual benefit and win-win cooperation, what do you think?"
Zhou Chen chuckled and said: "Mr. Yao thinks highly of me too much. I haven't gained a foothold in the international market yet. How can I help Mr. Yao?"
"That's too modest. Although our Xinglian Investment Bank is not a top investment bank in China, it is not weak, so if you have time, you can get to know our Xinglian Investment Bank. I believe we will have the opportunity to cooperate."
"Mr. Yao is so enthusiastic, then I will consider it."
Within two days, Mr. Yao took the initiative to invite Zhou Chen to dinner again, but this time he also brought a few people with him.
"Mr. Na, these are all shareholders of our Xinglian Investment Bank. They heard about Mr. Na's deeds, and they all want to get to know Mr. Na."
Zhou Chen smiled and shook hands with the people brought by Mr. Yao. They were all showy people and said all kinds of good things. When it came to the last person.
"Mr., this is Lu Jie, the vice president in charge of the investment banking department of our Xinglian Investment Bank."
"Mr. Lu, hello."
"Well, sir, nice to meet you."
Lu Jie's posture is relatively low. Although he also owns shares in Xinglian Investment Bank, he is only a small shareholder. However, because he is in charge of the investment banking department, he still has relatively large rights in the company.
It's just that Zhou Chen is someone who even Mr. Yao must be polite to. Naturally, he doesn't dare to be careless. He won't take Zhou Chen lightly just because he is young. He is very polite and respectful.
Mr. Yao brought a few people here, mainly to win over Zhou Chen and promote cooperation, so during the banquet, he was very enthusiastic and took turns toasting to Zhou Chen.
But Zhou Chen is really not afraid of this. He has a high alcohol capacity, and now his physical fitness has been enhanced in all aspects. It cannot be said that drinking alcohol is the same as drinking water, but drinking liquor is definitely not much different from drinking beer before. It is already difficult for him to drink alcohol.
Brings numbness and intoxication.
In order to make them more urgent, Zhou Chen deliberately talked about several successful investment cases in Hong Kong, Japan and South Korea, and also talked about the industries he planned to invest in Southeast Asia, emphasizing that the benefits were huge, which made Mr. Yao and others excited.
Eyes shine.
Although Zhou Chen made it simple and even told them the investment direction, they didn't have Zhou Chen's abilities and methods. Even if they knew it, they couldn't copy it.
After finishing the meal, Mr. Yao and others felt that they were still interested, so they invited Zhou Chen again a few days later and talked about cooperation again.
Zhou Chen was slightly relieved this time, but he still showed that he did not trust Xinglian Investment Bank. In order to let Zhou Chen see their strength, Mr. Yao took the initiative to invite Zhou Chen to their company for inspection. Zhou Chen
Naturally, I agreed.
The next day, Zhou Chen was invited to the office building of Xinglian Investment Bank. Under the leadership of Mr. Yao and others, he briefly visited the working area and environment of Xinglian Investment Bank.
After walking around, we came to the conference room.
"So, sir, how do you feel? Can you give me some advice?" Mr. Yao joked with a smile.
Zhou Chen also smiled and said: "Yes, at least it looks quite busy."
"Ha ha."
Mr. Yao smiled. You can't tell whether a company is good or bad just by looking at it. He turned to Lu Jie and said, "Mr. Lu, are there any good projects in your department recently? Can you give them to the general manager for review?"
He is always an expert in this field."
Zhou Chen's predecessor came from a major Internet company and has nothing to do with the investment industry. However, being able to create a company with extraordinary potential like Chenxing Capital in just three years clearly shows that he has deep attainments in this area.
In all walks of life, there are very few people who can successfully change careers, but if they can successfully change careers, it means they must be outstanding. Especially now that Mr. Yao still seeks help from Zhou Chen, he naturally respects Zhou Chen even more and gets closer to him.
Lu Jie was a little hesitant. After all, it was a project of his own company. Is it really okay to just show it to Zhou Chen?
But seeing the look in Mr. Yao's eyes, he immediately nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Yao, I'll ask Xie Meilan from the investment department to come over now."
"Xie Meilan? Who is it?"
Mr. Yao looked confused. Lu Jie explained: "He is my newly appointed director of the investment department. The old Yuan before me was fired because of his poor work ability and inactivity. Although Xie Meilan is young, she has great potential and is very
Suitable……"
Mr. Yao interrupted her directly: "Okay, no need to say so much, let her bring the latest project information and report it to the general manager."
Although these projects are the ones the company is investigating, he really doesn't care too much. If there are really good projects, it's impossible for him not to know about them. As long as they don't involve the company's secrets, there are just a few projects for Zhou Chen to know.
It's nothing. With Zhou Chen's status, he wouldn't covet their company's projects.
"Okay, Mr. Yao, I'll call her over now."
Lu Jie got up and walked out of the conference room, preparing to call Xie Meilan, and asked Xie Meilan to prepare in advance so as not to show any timidity later.
Zhou Chen naturally heard the whispered conversation between Mr. Yao and Lu Jie, but he didn't care. He was not afraid of seeing Xie Meilan. On the contrary, Xie Meilan should be afraid of seeing him.
He was quite curious about what Xie Meilan's expression would be when she saw him later.
