"Alas! I also have some difficulties!" Li Xiang sighed and said slowly: "The principle that a big tree attracts wind has never changed. Especially for people like me, who not only want to make money for the boss, but also plan for themselves and their friends. It is difficult to survive in the cracks! Countless pairs of eyes are watching the slightest movement, so I have no choice but to retreat behind the scenes, set up venture capital in the United States, and push Shen Hongkui to the front."

"This is human nature." Chu Tianshu picked up the tea cup and said with a smile: "I really admire Mr. Li's low-key and thoughtfulness."

Li Xiang smiled bitterly and said: "It's natural that I have something to hide behind the scenes, but I didn't reveal the truth when I was with my friend, Vice Mayor Chu. It's really unreasonable. However, maybe just because we are friends, some things are even harder to say. .”

"Mr. Li, how do you say this?" Chu Tianshu asked.

Li Xiang said: "Everyone has heard the saying, business is business. As the head of venture capital, I naturally have to give priority to the interests of the company, but I have to sit down with friends like Vice Mayor Chu and Mr. Wei. The tit-for-tat confrontation at the negotiation table seems to be irreconcilable. After thinking about it, I might as well let Shen Hongkui be on the front line."

Having said this, Li Xiang picked up the cup and raised it to Chu Tianshu: "Sorry for any offense."

Chu Tianshu laughed loudly and said, "Mr. Li's words are reasonable. If it were me, I would do the same."

Next, Chu Tianshu changed the topic and said: "However, Mr. Li, you are really worrying too much. We are all sensible people, who doesn't understand the principle of each being his own master? You are fighting for the interests of venture capital, and Lao Wei is Century Sunshine strives for its interests, and I strive for the interests of Qingyuan City. This is a matter of course, and there is no need to be secretive."

Li Xiang also laughed: "Deputy Mayor Chu, although you are in officialdom, I didn't expect that you are also a sweetheart."

Chu Tianshu said: "This time I took the opportunity of a business trip to meet Mr. Li, just to spread the word. Instead of letting Shen Hongkui and Wei Shijie talk for a few days, why not let us be honest in person. Okay. The Qingyuan City Government and Century Sunshine are a joint venture, and I can speak to both sides."

"Vice Mayor Chu is quick to speak quickly, so I will open the skylight and speak frankly." Li Xiang said: "The conditions put forward by Shen Hongkui are naturally my instructions. As a friend, these conditions are not only harsh, but even unreasonable. But as a partner in the shopping mall, I think those points are not an exaggeration.”

Chu Tianshu smiled and nodded, looking like he was listening carefully.

Li Xiang continued: "With Century Sunshine's financial status, undertaking the development and construction of Qingbei Eco-City, especially the construction of skyscrapers, is tantamount to a big gamble. Since it is a big gamble, it means huge risks and benefits. As a company, As a company that pursues profit by nature, we are very interested in the huge benefits that this plan may bring, and at the same time, it is also the right thing to do to avoid all risks as much as possible."

Chu Tianshu smiled lightly and said: "Mr. Li, let me tell you the truth. The development and construction of Qingbei Eco-City has reached this stage, which is no different to Century Sunshine, the Qingyuan Municipal Government, Boss Ye, and myself. It’s a huge gamble. Therefore, we all hope that Mr. Li can lend a helping hand and help.”

"Thank you, Vice Mayor Chu, for trusting me so much," Li Xiang shrugged and said, "But I am a businessman. It is a normal logic to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. I have been in the capital market for many years, and there are always rules for each industry. , just like your officialdom, no one can destroy it."

"I disagree with Mr. Li's words." Chu Tianshu said: "There are rules and unspoken rules in officialdom, but they are not static. Although I have never worked in the capital market, I have heard of some industry rules and regulations.

Trampled underfoot."

"I would like to hear the details!" Li Xiang said with a gloomy face.

Chu Tianshu said: "Intermediaries run companies to go public and charge commissions as remuneration. Industry regulations generally charge a proportion of about 7% of the financing amount. Am I right?"

"That's right!" Li Xiang said: "This 7% is the industry standard, not only the industry standard in China, but also the industry standard in the world."

Chu Tianshu took a sip of tea and said, "But Mr. Li must have heard that when the famous American Internet company Google went public, how much commission did it pay?"

Li Xiang was silent.

Chu Tianshu stretched out three fingers: "3% is not even half of the so-called industry regulations, and the people responsible for the Google project are all the big Wall Street investment banks that are usually bullish. But when it comes to Google, these guys are still 3%

The commissions are fiercely fought over. They do Google projects not to make money, but to strengthen the company’s influence and promote brand value.”

"However, I'm afraid no one will take a customer like Century Sunshine seriously." Li Xiang smiled disdainfully, put away his usual gentleness and humility, and said domineeringly: "This business is done.

, the venture capital investment will only make an extra 100 million, but if we don't do it, we won't lose anything. There is no love in the transaction. However, for Century Sunshine and Qingyuan City, it is tantamount to a life-or-death gamble.

.”

Chu Tianshu smiled bitterly and said: "So, Mr. Li will definitely defeat us!"

Li Xiang leaned his back on the sofa and said: "Chinese people pay attention to fate, and it is also fate to meet Vice Mayor Chu. In the business world, no one has the final say. The reason why I was invited to

I came here because I am optimistic about you, Vice Mayor Chu. Otherwise, given Century Sunshine’s current situation, I will definitely not cooperate with you."

"Thank you, Mr. Li, for the compliment." Chu Tianshu said, "I'm not saying anything outside the box. In fact, there are countless investment institutions that are richer than Venture Capital. However, I know Qingyuan City better than Mr. Li, and I know Boss Ye better."

I'm afraid there is no second person."

"Vice Mayor Chu's words are very thorough!" Li Xiang said with a smile: "I have been in the business world for many years and have dealt with many officials. There are very few people with extraordinary courage and courage like Vice Mayor Chu.

See, if I hadn’t taken a fancy to this, I wouldn’t have dared to invest $100 million.”

Chu Tianshu took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Since Mr. Li said this, he must know me very well. I have relied on hard work and luck to reach my current position step by step. Compared with my peers, I am also

It can be considered a success.”

"That's true!" Li Xiang nodded and said: "I have reached the deputy department and bureau level at the age of thirty. Not only is it unique, but it is also rare. If this trend continues, Deputy Mayor Chu will have a bright future. If he chooses to cooperate with you, it will be a success.

It can be said to be a venture capital investment of mine, so I naturally hope to achieve a win-win situation."

"When you are in an officialdom, you are a bit like Mr. Li when you are in a shopping mall. You often have no choice but to swim against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat." Chu Tianshu added: "Everyone wants to make progress. To make progress, you must have political achievements and do well.
