A video call line was established halfway across the world.
Li Songci sat in front of the computer, looking at Paulson who appeared on the screen, with a calm expression.
Because of the time difference, Paulson's place happened to be in the morning.
It could be seen that he was very busy. After connecting to the video call, he immediately said: "Song Ci, you have ten minutes to talk to me, because I have an important meeting that I have to attend in ten minutes."
Li Songci nodded to show that he understood, and said seriously: "Then I will say it directly. I don't mind the headquarters sending an investigation team to me, but Li Jin's plan to go public with New Wolf Company cannot be shelved because of this."
Paulson shook his head and said regretfully: "Song Ci, although I have always admired your ability, you are still too emotional in this matter."
"You have to understand that the questions raised by those directors are reasonable, and they also have the power to do so. This is a power granted by the shareholders' meeting, and I have no way to change it."
Li Songci said seriously: "But everyone can see that this listing case will not only benefit Li Jin greatly, but also benefit our investment bank, right? We can't just let Li Jin go because of the opposition of a few directors."
into the hands of our competitors."
"In this case, Lei Man and Merlin will wake up laughing at night."
Paulson frowned. He looked at Li Songci deeply and said, "Songci, tell me now, why did you take the initiative to reduce Li Jin's commission by 20%?"
"This is to gain his favor." Li Songci returned without thinking.
"As I reported to you last time, Li Jin is definitely a business wizard who is underestimated by everyone. In our eyes, the new wolf is already so outstanding, but he is just an inconspicuous one among his many branch industries."
"By cooperating with people like this, I think our investment bank will receive huge benefits in the future."
Paulson smiled and said: "I admit that Li Jin is a magical oriental businessman, but this does not mean that the board of directors can accept your explanation. In their view, this listing case does have huge returns, but they care more."
What matters is whether there is any collusion with outsiders within the company."
"So I won't resist the investigation team you sent. You can investigate as you like. But if these things cause Li Jin to cancel cooperation with us, it will be our loss!" Li Songci argued.
Paulson frowned slightly and said, "I said, this is the power of the directors, and I can't stop it."
"If you have a way, you can use the chairman's veto power to veto their review of the New Wolf listing case," Li Songci said.
Paulson laughed and said, "Song Ci, are you kidding me? Are you asking me to offend those directors for Li Jin? What good does this do to me?"
"For this, I am willing to bet my entire career!" Li Songci suddenly said.
Paulson's smile froze on his face. He looked deeply at Li Songci and said seriously: "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"The case continues, and your investigation does not need to stop. If there are problems, I will resign on my own initiative." Li Songci took a deep breath and said calmly.
Paulson was silent for a long time.
At this time, on the other end of the video, there was a knock on Paulson's office, and it was the secretary who came to remind Paulson that the time was up.
"Let them wait for a while and then tell them that I have important things to deal with." After Paulson finished speaking, the sound of the door closing was heard, and he continued to look at Li Songci in the video and said: "Songci, you and I
My father has been a close friend for decades, and I don’t want to see you fall into this deep pit."
"The risks and costs are too great for you. You know, if something unexpected happens, you will never want to continue working in the financial circle in your life. This is not just Wall Street, but any investment bank in the world."
I don’t dare to use you again.”
Li Songci said calmly: "I know what I am doing, Uncle Paulson, please help me this time."
Sighing, Paulson said: "I'm afraid your guarantee won't be able to impress those stubborn directors."
"Then one more thing, if the stock price of New Wolf is lower than 100 US dollars, I will also voluntarily resign and compensate the investment bank for three times the commission loss. I will use my identity as the second heir of the Li family as a guarantee, which is enough.
Is it done?"
Li Songci's words were clearly transmitted to Paulson's office on the other side of the ocean through the video line.
Paulson looked at the calm and determined Li Songci in shock and shook his head.
"100 US dollars? Do you know what a stock price of 100 US dollars means? After the entire Nasdaq experienced the Internet bubble, there were only a few dozen stocks worth more than 100 US dollars. Those companies were all world-famous large companies.
!”
Li Songci said nothing. She knew what Paulson said better than anyone else.
But if they don't come up with such gambling chips, those directors will not compromise.
So Li Songci just looked at Paulson calmly.
And Paulson didn't say anything else. Having watched Li Songci grow up, he understood that every time Li Songci showed such an expression, it meant that it was irreversible.
"I will try my best." After Paulson said that, he hung up the video call.
After doing all this, Li Songci leaned on the chair exhausted, looked down at the pair of red high heels on his feet, and suddenly smiled.
Is it worth it? Who knows.
Anyway, she bet everything including her career.
Just for that night, these red high heels.
…
For two consecutive days, Li Jin didn't see Li Songci show up. On the first day, Liu Jun told him that he saw Zhou Yan carrying her suitcase and leaving the hotel in despair.
Li Jin didn't know what happened inside, and had no intention of finding out.
He has even begun to prepare to contact other major investment banks such as Leiman or Merlin.
In Li Jin's view, Gao Sheng was just trying to show off, so he would just change his partner. Cooperating with someone is not cooperation?
Anyway, they were listed on Nasdaq, so he had no fear at all.
Until the third day, the last day Li Songci and Li Jin agreed, Li Songci knocked on Li Jin's door.
She is still so graceful and graceful, with a bit of coquettishness in her beauty, and a charming smile.
"It's done. The listing of New Wolf has been officially approved. The headquarters has begun lobbying the Nasdaq review committee. We will go to New York to ring the bell soon."
