After the secretary brought two cups of tea, Li Jin said directly: "Mr. Paulson, what is the attitude of investment banks towards Li Songci now?"
Paulson said with a smile: "Before answering your question, I would like to know your attitude towards Li Song Ci?"
Li Jin raised his eyebrows slightly and said calmly: "She is my friend. In terms of official cooperation, she has a working ability that is unmatched by others and can save me a lot of time. In terms of personal relationships, she has a unique ability."
Charming personality, I am very happy to have such a friend."
Paulson nodded when he heard this, leaned on the sofa and said: "That's a good answer. To be honest, what you said makes me very envious of you for having such a friend. But Li, you have to understand that investment banking work and other
The industries are different.”
"We encourage employees to become friends with customers, but this kind of friendship can only be friends limited to official cooperation. In an investment bank, once a friendship with a customer exceeds the normal level, it will be a good thing for both the investment bank and the customer personally.
, will be a trouble."
Li Jin said calmly: "Investment banks have survival rules for investment banks. I have no objection, but if you question Li Songci, who has just brought a big business to the investment bank, doesn't Mr. Paulson think it is too much?"
"This is a necessary review. You have to understand that investment banks also have difficulties. First of all, a very important issue is that neither you nor Li Songci himself can explain the purpose of the 20% commission reduction."
"Indeed, Gaosheng does have clear internal regulations that executives like Li Songci have the power to reduce or reduce commissions for clients, and her highest authority happens to be 20%... But it is true that the investment bank gave her the power, and she performed the duties she used
It’s time to give the investment bank a reasonable explanation.”
"Why did she do this and what benefits would it bring to the investment bank? The fact is that she cannot give a reasonable explanation for this 20% commission reduction, so a review must be carried out."
The image of Li Songci being as stubborn as a little girl and insisting on the pair of high heels in the window that night appeared in Li Jin's mind. He couldn't tell Gao Sheng the reason, just because Li Songci wanted a pair of shoes and he broke them for her.
She got the glass, so she gave herself a 20% commission reduction?
"Li, you may not know that at that time, a director raised objections to the listing of New Wolf at the board meeting. In order to solve this problem, Li Songci assured me that as long as the listing of New Wolf proceeds normally, she can cooperate and accept it unconditionally.
Review.”
"In addition, if Xinlang's stock does not reach US$100 after listing, then she must resign immediately and pay 3 times the commission to the investment bank."
Paulson's two words made Li Jin stand up suddenly.
"Is she crazy?" Li Jin said angrily.
Originally, the cooperation with Gao Sheng was something that Li Jin could do or not do. Without Gao Sheng, there are still big investment banks like Leiman and Merlin everywhere.
If he had known that Li Songci paid such a high price to retain his cooperation, Li Jin would have stopped serving this group of people.
Thinking of the fact that during this period, Li Songci was under tremendous pressure and pretended that nothing happened in front of him, looking relaxed and natural. Inexplicably, Li Jin felt an unknown anger brewing in his chest.
If Li Songci was censored because of the 20% commission reduction, Li Jin could barely accept it, but because of William's obstruction, Li Songci paid such a huge price, and even risked his entire career, which made Li Jin completely
Unacceptable.
And I was angry and annoyed.
I am angry with myself for my slowness and hindsight, and I am angry with Li Song's self-assertiveness in his poetry.
"It seems that you really don't know these things. Not only do you think she is crazy, but I also think so." Paulson sighed and said, "I am not only her boss, but also the uncle who watched her grow up.
, her father and I have known each other for decades and are the best friends."
"But I've never seen her make such a big sacrifice for someone."
Paulson took a deep look at Li Jin and continued: "So I want to know, what are you going to do now?"
Li Jin quickly calmed down his anger, and after a short period of thinking, his brain came up with the answer.
"Mr. Paulson, I need Gaosheng Investment Bank to end its review of Li Songci immediately, and Asia Pacific President William must pay the price for this matter. Otherwise, New Wolf will unilaterally report to the Nasdaq Review Committee early tomorrow morning.
Submit an application to terminate listing."
As soon as these words came out, Paulson's face suddenly became serious, even gloomy.
He looked at Li Jin and said angrily: "Li, this is a very unwise choice. Are you threatening me? You have to know that if you do this, Gao Sheng will be embarrassed, but Xinlang missed it."
A good opportunity to go public. For those stocks that have been subscribed, you need to pay compensation, and you have to pay Gaosheng liquidated damages!"
"As a shrewd businessman, would you do such a loss-making business?"
Li Jin said calmly: "Chairman Paulson, I am indeed a businessman, but before that, I was still a man. Businessmen do weigh the pros and cons before making every decision, but as a man, most of the
Time will not care about these things."
Paulson was keenly aware of the change in Li Jin's address to himself. He looked at Li Jin seriously and said, "Is this your final decision?"
Li Jin nodded: "I won't compromise!"
"But you have to know that for Li Songci, what she loves most is her career. Once the relationship between us breaks down, you can indeed find another investment bank to cooperate with, and the loss will be nothing more than time and money."
"But what about Li Songci? Once this incident breaks out, Gao Sheng will not be able to continue to use her, and neither will other investment banks. Have you considered this?"
Paulson's words made Li Jin frown slightly.
With a smile like a winner, Paulson took a sip of hot tea. The man in front of him was indeed excellent, but after all, he was too young and was not his opponent.
"Big deal, I'll open a bank and let Li Songci come work for me." Li Jin suddenly raised his head and said to Paulson.
This sentence made Paulson freeze in place while drinking tea. After a long time, he looked at the domineering Li Jin with wide eyes and said: "Do you know how difficult it is to open a bank? It requires more than just
Strong capital support also requires connections and business, especially in China. I don’t think China will allow the emergence of private banks.”
Li Jin said calmly: "Chairman Paulson, let me reiterate, I am only concerned about Li Songci being censored."
Paulson gently stroked the edge of the hot tea cup with his fingers, and said slowly for a long time: "I can end the review of Li Songci immediately, but you must ensure that the stock price of New Wolf reaches at least 120 US dollars, otherwise I cannot
Report to the board of directors.”
"As for William's problem, as long as New Wolf's stock price is high enough, it proves that Li Songci's ability is strong enough, and it is not impossible for her to become the president of the Asia-Pacific region. But in the final analysis, it is still the problem, New Wolf's stock price,
